On Apple platforms with Metal, which documented APIs let me control when a frame is shown and measure when it actually was?

Partially verified: the curator re-read S4; S3, S5, S6, S7 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. Apple separates pacing controls (CAMetalDisplayLink timing window and preferred rate/latency; present(afterMinimumDuration:)) from measurement: MTLDrawable.presentedTime gives the host time a drawable was shown and is 0.0 if it was not presented or its frame was dropped, so dropped frames can be counted. Curator qualifications: Partially verified: the curator re-read S4; S3, S5, S6, S7 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. Curator GET 2026-10-23 of the sources not re-read (mechanical source evidence, not semantic verification): S3: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin; S5: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin; S6: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin; S7: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin. Documentation read 2026-10-22; no traces captured. CAMetalDisplayLink and present(afterMinimumDuration:) pages not re-read. Limitations: Documentation read 2026-10-22; no traces captured. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
