The splice crossfade now counts output frames and stops before the ring's far end (this also fixes a lap at matched rate). The search strides by the rate ratio. The editor takes its time base from its own decode. Same-rate output is pinned to hashes from before the change.
30 Hz out-of-band energy 15.45% -> 0.00%; the 29 Hz rate-2.0 detune -133 -> +0 cents.
An unknown period keeps the fixed-window geometry bit for bit. The detector cannot
reach process(): sampler_core does not link it.
A splice can only relocate by [0.75, 1.25]*window, so periods with no multiple
in that interval never phase-align — at 50 ms, f < 16 Hz and 26.7-32 Hz.
Harness runs by hand; too slow to gate.
