Fixes the critical finding — Browse/curve-popup no longer trigger 60 Hz
whole-client repaints when the meter is invisible. Pushes the fast-path and
self-containment geometry into master_meter with tests; batches the four minor
findings.
The SDK's own single-component sample drains inputParameterChanges in
process() and implements setParamNormalized; automation was reading the
GUI channel alone. The audio thread now patches a block it solely owns.
Trigger's fade pair folds into the AHD (and goes live); the release anchors right;
Preserve rings its synthetic tail out instead of cutting it. Payload v10.
Knob-drag publishes no longer block behind a full reload's WAV decode — a dedicated livePublishMutex_ replaces reloadMutex_ for the seqlock's single-writer contract. Also fixes an editor comment overclaim and two doc restatements.
Cutoff-only re-solve (15.5 vs 56.9 ns/frame) makes the unquantized sweep
affordable, replacing the 2048-step mod quantizer. Live-compute parameters
remain blocked on a shell-architecture ruling.
