fix(ufc): throttle has_live_content(), which logged once per display frame

[ChuckBuilds]

The bug

has_live_content() is called from the display path — once per frame in Vegas mode. UFC throttled only the False branch:

self.logger.info(                       # ← no guard, inside `if live_games:`
    f"has_live_content: UFC live_games={len(live_games)}, "
    f"ufc_live={ufc_live}")
...
should_log = ufc_live or (current_time - self._last_live_content_false_log >= interval)
if should_log and not ufc_live:         # ← guards the False path only
    self.logger.info("has_live_content() returning False")

Whenever a card was live, that first call fired on every frame — roughly 50 lines/second on a rig measured at 50 fps.

Why it survived every previous fix

It sits outside the should_log guard. baseball 1.20.4, football, and #308 (hockey/basketball/lacrosse) all inspected the guard rather than the whole function body, so none of them saw it. It has been there since the plugin landed in #24 (2026-02-13).

Audited state across the lineage before this change:

plugin	INFO in has_live_content	throttled
baseball, football	1	yes (full)
basketball, hockey, lacrosse	1	yes (partial)
afl, cricket, nrl, soccer	0	n/a
ufc	2	False branch only

The fix

Both branches now share one throttle in baseball-scoreboard's shape — log on state change, re-log an unchanged answer once per 60s so a steady state stays visible.

Testing

• test_live_content_log_throttle.py, ported from baseball's, plus a case for the exact state that triggered this: a live card with favorites configured and none of them fighting, so ufc_live is False while live_games is not empty. Verified it fails against the pre-fix manager.
• scripts/check_plugin.py --plugin ufc-scoreboard: 24/24 PASS across all 8 panel sizes.
