The depth stream is aligned to the color frame via rs.align(rs.stream.color),
so the depth map lives on the color pixel grid. /api/measure, /api/pointcloud
and /api/pointcloud/roi were de-projecting those pixels with the *depth* (ir)
intrinsics, inflating X/Y by fx_rgb/fx_ir (~1.54x on the D435i). Z was correct
since it only depends on the depth value, not the intrinsics.
A 103mm ArUco marker at ~0.73m measured ~157mm; back-projected point clouds did
not overlap other calibrated cameras.
Fix: centralize intrinsics selection in _backprojection_intrinsics(), keyed on
the new RealSenseD435.is_depth_aligned_to_color(). Aligned (USB 3 default) ->
rgb intrinsics; no alignment (USB 2 fallback, where color is resized onto the
depth grid) -> ir intrinsics. An unconditional ir->rgb swap would have broken
the USB 2 path symmetrically.
Verified live: /api/measure?u=377&v=68 now returns x=+0.0686 (rgb) instead of
+0.1092 (ir). Documented root cause + non-regression check in README and
bug_d435i_intrinsics_mismatch.md.
