instance.start() runs synchronously and blocks the main thread for a
noticeable moment on heavy WASM init, so pressing "Tap to Start" would
freeze on the old screen with no feedback until the HUD suddenly
appeared. Add a "starting" status between "ready" and "running", and
defer the actual start() call by a nested rAF so the browser gets a
chance to paint the spinner before the blocking call runs.
