Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified. First reproduce the intermittent readings on Mint 22 with package 6.2.9 and the reported NVIDIA hardware, then compare the system monitor's CPU readings with the listed processes and KDE System Monitor. Done means the monitor no longer shows unexplained high usage when system processes are near zero.
