Waveform overlay now resolves node/tab/marker click collisions by target area instead of check order; residue test now uses a distinguishing fixture; Gate-unavailable-while-drawn logic extracted to one pure helper shared by resolvePlay and applyControl.
Fixes the 2-point spline-EG early-free bug causing silent fade-ins, the pitch/filter enable-toggle Trigger-forcing hole, the contour-node/marker pixel shadow, missing deck-residue test coverage, and stale comments in knob_deck and spline_edit.
Live pitch depth, Gate/Spline enable-rule agreement, inert kTrigLength, NaN wire guards, hard-flag-tail corruption no longer wipes the record, RT/cold spline tie-break, retired alt-click, marker-shadow fix, plus new test coverage.
