Keep presentation notifications deferred across nested renders.

A synchronous motion callback can call surface.render() while the outer renderScene() is still running. The nested render clears the shared rendering flag in its finally block, then publishes its presentation points. Subscribers can observe those intermediate points before the outer render finishes.

Track render depth instead of using a boolean so notifications remain deferred until the outermost render returns.

Suggested fix 
-let rendering = false
+let rendering = 0
...
-        if (rendering) return
+        if (rendering > 0) return
...
-          rendering = true
+          rendering += 1
           try {
             renderScene(nextScene, options)
           } finally {
-            rendering = false
+            rendering -= 1
           }

Review comment at @packages/charts-core/src/motion.ts around lines 1065 - 1071:
Replace the shared `rendering` boolean with a render-depth counter in the motion
rendering flow. Increment before `renderScene` and decrement in its `finally`
block; defer `publishPresentationPoints` until the counter reaches zero so
nested renders cannot notify subscribers before the outer render finishes.

Thanks for catching this. The nested callback case is reproducible, so this should be corrected before merging.

AI review notes:
A new regression fails on f5276fc with notifications observed while the motion callback is still active. The same failure was reproduced independently in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit.
The local render-depth correction passes all 74 motion tests, the new three-browser check, and the existing 15 browser lifecycle cases. Full validation is still running. It measures 23.289 decimal kB gzip against the approved 23.286 ceiling, so the exact 3-byte adjustment is awaiting owner approval. The correction is local only, not pushed, merged or published.

@tannerlinsley Thanks for confirming the reproduction. The reported regression and browser results support the render-depth correction.

I’ll leave this finding open while the correction remains local and full validation is pending. The 3-byte gzip ceiling increase also needs owner approval before merging.
