Loop: an explicit enable, four named marks with grabbable caps, and the crossfade painted where it is actually heard

hasLoop becomes user-owned with the gestures as shortcuts onto it; no format change. START uses overlay/trace, not accent/primary, which is the waveform's own fill.

 - `editor_geometry` (`core/instrument/ui`) — the shared geometry VOCABULARY every instrument UI module speaks: the `core::ui::Rect` alias, `contains()`, and `OverlayArea` (a one-field `Rect` wrapper, no implicit conversion from `Rect`). Header-only (an INTERFACE CMake target), so it carries no layout of its own.
 - `sample_bands` — **THE band-stack allocator**, and the only module that owns the Sample face's vertical inventory — including `kEditorMinWidth`/`kEditorMinHeight`, the editor's client-area floor, which IS its default size (the shell's `checkSizeConstraint` and opening `ViewRect` both read it; the face grows, never shrinks below what the stack is laid out for), and `kEditorCeilingWidth`, the floor's sibling window fact (the hard cap the floor may not exceed) — moved here from `knob_deck.h` since it is a window fact, not a deck one; the derivation identity against the deck's width budget stays in `test_deck_groups.cpp`, the one place that already includes both headers. Three bands top-to-bottom (CHROME toolbar+control row / WAVEFORM elastic, floored at two stacked lanes / DECKS bottom-anchored at the knob deck's own wrapped height), plus the waveform band's lane split (`waveformLanes` takes a resolved `LaneSplit`, not a raw bool — only `waveformSurface` folds the source-channel-count decision in). A shared READ-ONLY surface for every band owner — a band's interior module lays out inside the rect it is handed and never re-allocates the stack.
-- `sample_chrome` — the CHROME band's interior: the toolbar row (title + the whole right-anchored control run — bake Hold cell, bake, preview, velocity knob cell, channel toggle, Browse) over the strip row, which the piano strip owns outright. The title takes what the run leaves; the strip takes its whole row, inset only by the shared band pad so it lines up with the waveform band beneath. Every run member's width is RESERVED unconditionally, the Hold cell included — the only conditionally-drawn one, and the leftmost, so what its reservation buys is a title slot that does not re-measure when a loop is dialled in or out (`sample_chrome.h` records the cost). Also `previewGlyph`, the preview button's play triangle — three vertices for one filled-triangle draw, so the button's label needs no font metric and no image asset.

 - `bake_hold` — the Hold knob's value domain and nothing else: the knob's normalized [0,1] mapped onto the note-length ladder and back, ordered by LENGTH rather than by the ladder's presentation order. Split from `sample_chrome` on the same axis `deck_values` was split from `knob_deck` — that says where the cell is, this says what its position means.
 - `keyboard_strip` — piano-keyboard strip: true white/black key geometry (whites tiled at one width, blacks overlaid at one width and height, straddling their boundary), hit-test resolving black-over-white by zone, root-marker rect, the absolute-position drag resolver, and MIDI note naming under the C4 convention. **Same-class keys are one integer width by construction; the residue of an indivisible band width (`w % 75`, up to 74 px) lands in symmetric end margins, never in a key** — uniform widths and gap-free edge-to-edge tiling cannot both hold, and uniformity wins.
 - `waveform_view` — the WAVEFORM band's interior: `waveformSurface` resolves the drawn lane(s) (two stacked lanes, L over R, only when the mode is stereo AND the source has a second channel — a mono source under stereo mode is dual-mono and draws one lane) plus **the** overlay area, and `laneEnvelope` splits one multi-channel envelope pass per lane. Also maps frame span linearly across a rect; generic named draggable markers with drag-delta resolver, clamp, and zero-crossing snap, plus `markerHandleRect` — a top-strip grab tab distinct from a marker's full-height column, so two markers that share a frame stay independently grabbable (the column goes to the first in draw order; the tab, asked first, resolves the other).
   - **Overlay contract (consumed by later waveform work).** `WaveformSurface::overlay` — equivalently the standalone `waveformOverlayArea(band)` — is the FULL band in both modes. Everything riding the waveform (the amp-envelope trace and its node handles, the start/loop markers, the loop region) draws ONCE into it, spanning both stacked lanes; hit-testing resolves against the same area so a grab in the lower lane reaches them. Anything drawn or hit-tested per lane is a duplicate and a defect — structurally enforced: `overlay` is the distinct `OverlayArea` type (`editor_geometry`), not `Rect`, so every overlay-consuming API (`frameToX`/`markerAtPoint`/`resolveDragFrame`, `envelope_edit`'s `nodeAtPoint`/`resolveNodeDrag`, `envelope_overlay`'s `buildEnvelopePolyline`) rejects a lane rect at compile time rather than silently accepting one.
+  - **The four marks.** One grammar — line + shaped cap + label — over START / LOOP / END / XFADE. `markerHandleRect` IS the cap: every mark's is the same rect shape, only the glyph inside differs, which is what keeps the claim arbitration seeing one nominal cap area. `capAtPoint` resolves caps in the REVERSE of the column order, so any coincident PAIR stays separable (one answers its cap, the other its column) and the crossfade — the one mark with no column — can never be shadowed. `layoutMarkLabels` places the promoted (grabbed/hovered) mark first and suppresses any box that would overlap one already placed. `crossfadeWedgeHeight` is the ONE ramp both the audible region and the ingredient ghost draw, because they are the same fade weight over the two spans it mixes.
+- `loop_marks` — the loop enable's state machine, split from the geometry above on the axis the surface already has: that says where a mark is, this says what the loop IS. `SampleLoop::hasLoop` is the single authority and `resolveLoopMarks`/`applyLoopMarks` are its only two folds — the resolve re-parks on `defaultLoopBounds` only when the span is one `resolveLoop` would refuse (so a user's off keeps its positions and `parked` separates the two OFF states), and the write folds collapse-to-off in and ties the crossfade to the SPAN rather than to the enable. Links `loop_span` so the span the user is offered and the span the engine accepts stay one definition.
 - `capture_browser` — capture browser: card-grid layout + bank-filter tab strip geometry and hit-test; knows only counts and rects, draws nothing.
 - `browser_scroll` — scroll + type-to-filter layered over `capture_browser`: vertical scroll offset, scrollbar thumb, thumb-drag mapping, and name-substring search.
 - `param_taper` — THE norm↔value tapers every variable control shares, and the modifier vocabulary its drag surfaces read: the stage-time shifted-log (and `kStageTimeMaxSeconds`, the ONE home of the stage-time ceiling that `envelope_overlay`'s `kGateStageMaxSeconds` and `deck_values`' `kEnvTimeMaxSeconds` alias), the centre-expanded semitone-depth map, `DragModifiers`/`kFineDragScale`/`fineDrag`, the `UnitCategory` axis, and the four whole-unit snaps Shift applies. Extracted from `deck_values` because it has THREE consumers in two dependency layers — the knob's needle (`deck_values`), the AHDSR schematic axis and its drag inverse (`envelope_overlay`/`envelope_edit`, which sit *below* `deck_values`), and the VST3 host's `toPlain`/`toNormalized`. **Three functions that agree today is a defect, not an implementation choice**; solving the include edge by copying the map is the specific mistake this exists to prevent. Both maps resolve their output onto a fixed decimal quantum, which is what makes "every default has an EXACT normalized preimage" a structural guarantee rather than a libm coincidence — the header states the argument; the converse round trip at an arbitrary norm is explicitly NOT required.
