💡 What: Added a 1-degree change threshold before creating and emitting a new CompassData object in the high-frequency onSensorChanged event loop within CompassSensor.kt.

🎯 Why: Sensors firing at SENSOR_DELAY_UI (approx. 60Hz) were unconditionally creating and emitting new CompassData objects on every tick, even when the device was completely stationary. This caused significant Garbage Collection (GC) churn and forced downstream collectors—specifically the UI in NachsucheScreen.kt—to aggressively recompose 60 times a second, consuming CPU, battery, and causing UI micro-stutters.

📊 Impact: Reduces object allocations and Jetpack Compose recompositions related to the compass by up to 90% (when the device is mostly steady), while maintaining precise functionality and a visually smooth UI.

🔬 Measurement: Verify by running the application and tracking the memory profiler or Compose Recomposition counters in Android Studio; the churn will only occur when the device is actively rotated >1 degree instead of continuously.

- Added 1-degree change threshold in `CompassSensor.kt` `onSensorChanged` loop
- Drastically reduces `CompassData` object allocation and GC churn at 60Hz
- Prevents expensive downstream UI recomposition in `NachsucheScreen.kt`
- Added performance insight to `.jules/bolt.md`
