S-VIEW-9: velocity->amp transfer curve (pure velocity_curve module + zones-payload v7 + Voice::start apply)

Default flat y=1 (R10-F1 Option A) replaces the linear velocity/127 at note-on — a deliberate, non-back-compat behavior change; v1-v6 blobs lift to the flat default.

// velocity_curve.h — PURE velocity->amp transfer curve (S-VIEW-9, r10). NO VST3, NO REAPER, NO
// SWELL/LICE, NO vendor/ includes at the boundary. The mirror of envelope_edit / card_drag: the
// eval + the clamp/order/inverse-map arithmetic live here, unit-tested outside the DAW; the future
// editor shell (reasampler_editor.cpp, S-VIEW-10) draws the box + node handles and feeds each move's
// pixel delta back through here, committing the result to the zone through the same off-audio-thread
// path a slider edit uses.
//
// WHAT IT IS. A monotonic-in-x transfer function mapping MIDI velocity (X: 0..127) to an amp scalar
// (Y: 0..1), authored as an ordered list of control points. eval(velocity) is called ONCE per
// note-on in Voice::start() (never per frame) to set the voice's velocityGain_, replacing the fixed
// linear velocity/127 map. The curve is a per-PerformanceZone performance characteristic (D-B) — a
// sibling of the AHDSR envelope, pitch engine, and keyTrack scalar — so it varies per sound, stored
// on PerformanceZone and resolved onto the KeyZone at keymap build (mirror of keyTrack).
//
// DEFAULT — flat y=1 (fork R10-F1 Option A, Daniel 2026-07-27). VelocityCurve::flat() is the seeded
// default: EVERY velocity plays at unity amp. This is a DELIBERATE, Daniel-approved behavior change
// vs. the shipped linear velocity/127 map — soft hits are now full level until a curve is drawn.
// NOT bit-identical to the pre-r10 engine, by design; do not "preserve" the linear response.
//
// THE INVARIANT (mirror of envelope_edit's S-VIEW-F2). A drag/edit can NEVER produce a curve eval
// couldn't handle:
// * X-ORDERED — a point clamps between its predecessor's and successor's velocity, so control
// points never cross in X. This is what makes eval a well-defined FUNCTION (one amp per
// velocity): each X falls in exactly one [p_i, p_{i+1}] segment.
// * BOX-CLAMPED — velocity clamps to [0,127], amp clamps to [0,1] (the drawn box).
// Both endpoints (velocity 0 and 127) are always present so eval is total over [0,127]; delete
// refuses to remove them, and the constructors seed them.

// DELIBERATELY dependency-free at the boundary (no editor_geometry / Rect). This module sits BELOW
// sampler_core in the link graph (KeyZone carries a VelocityCurve; Voice::start calls eval), and the
// engine must not gain a transitive dependency on the editor's layout types. The editor hit-test /
// inverse-map therefore takes an explicit pixel box (boxLeft/boxTop/boxWidth/boxHeight) rather than a
// Rect — the future editor shell (S-VIEW-10) passes its box coords directly. Mirror of envelope_edit's
// role, but one layer lower, so the coupling stays out of the engine core.
