 - `batch_capture` — M11 pure batch-capture planner: maps a list of source ranges to ordinal capture units, drives per-unit capture via a shared `captureAndIndexOne` helper, and aggregates mixed results. No REAPER types at the boundary.
 - `action_buttons` — M11 pure action-button strip layout/hit-test: divides a strip rect into N action buttons, min-width overflow-hiding, label formatting with "(unbound)" fallback, `ActionButtonRect` struct. Mirror of `mode_switch` / `bank_grid`.
 - `drag_out` — M11 pure OS drag-out module: gesture-boundary decision (internal drag becomes OS-bound when the pointer leaves the panel client rect), path-list assembly with dedupe and missing-file skip. No REAPER types at the boundary.
