**A gate with no open blocker reads as ready.** Before, `bdi` read every gate as not ready.

**Boards cost less.** A board skips a watcher push that moved nothing it shows, and holds less in memory, while drawing exactly what it drew before. The watcher uses about two fifths less memory.
**Boards and the watcher cost less on a busy tracker.** The watcher skips most of its work when a read finds nothing new, and a board skips a push that moved nothing it shows, while every board stays as current as before. A board now spends a third or less of the CPU it did, and holds over 40% less memory. The watcher spends about half the CPU, and its peak memory falls by about a third.
