perf(effects): reduce GC pressure in GradientBlinds animation loop

Refactors `GradientBlinds` to use mutable references for pointer position tracking instead of creating new objects on every `pointermove` event and animation frame. This reduces Garbage Collection overhead during high-frequency updates.

- Changes `pointerPosRef` to a stable object with an `active` flag.
- Updates `mouseTargetRef` (array) in-place instead of reassigning.
- Ensures distinct array references for dampening logic to prevent aliasing bugs.
