nvrl adfb2c0287 feat: stable note tracking, NOTE pitch source and unsure fallback
Producers found the tracked plugins jumpy: the shared tracker switched notes
after 10 ms and retuned every 5 ms, so growls and formant basses flickered
and every tracked plugin acted on wrong notes.

Shared tracker (common-dsp):
- A new note needs a steady read for 40 ms; an octave down 80 ms, an octave
  up 200 ms (an octave-up read still fits the note's period and counts as
  agreeing). Inside a note the tuning only moves past a 0.25 semitone
  deadband. Follow bends keeps the old fast behaviour as an option.
- A trust score turns the note unsure while reads disagree; Tracker::active
  and NoteState report it, and Fallback latches "step back" across note ends.
- Notes end when the window start stays below the gate's release level for
  20 ms, so short gaps between notes are seen without waiting for the gate.
- PitchSource replaces the old (midi, gate, glide) arguments: Audio, MIDI or
  Note mode (a set note, no detection), plus a key lock (minor, major, root
  only) that snaps reads to the key.
- stems.rs: synthetic stems (growls, wobble, reese, formant, 808 slide,
  layered drop, noise riser) and a score; examples/tracker_report scores the
  corpus or real WAV stems. On the corpus the old behaviour makes up to 28
  extra note starts per second; the stable default makes none.

Plugins:
- Anvil, Lathe, Temper, Knurl, Planish, Braze and Forge gain the NOTE pitch
  source, the key lock and Follow bends (shared common-params crate and a
  shared header switch in common-ui).
- Unsure tracking: Anvil brings the original sub back in place of the sine,
  Lathe passes the audio through, Knurl fades its texture out; Temper,
  Planish and Braze hold their last sure tuning. Readouts show the note only
  when it is sure.
- Anvil gains Mode: Replace or Enhance (keeps the original sub and adds the
  sine under it).
- Planish slides its band edges over 6 ms on a new note instead of snapping.
- Ballast defaults to Grid parts, which need no tracking.

- Threshold, Ratio and Soft/Hard knee: each band cuts like a small compressor.
- Mark the feedback item released in docs/ideas.md and update the release table.

nvrl 9ca4e4f9dd feat(patina): per-band compressor gain stage with Threshold, Ratio and Knee
Tester feedback asked for a threshold and a ratio. Each band now cuts like a
small compressor: Threshold (dB above the local floor) replaces Selectivity,
Ratio scales the cut per dB above it (inf:1 is the old behaviour), and a
Soft/Hard knee switch sets the curve. A small graph shows bump height in, cut
out. Mix and Output move to the slider panel so the detection panel fits.
common-ui gains rotary_text for knobs with custom value text.

nvrl 53bc26d14d feat(patina): Tone guard for bass lines
Patina detects the played note (30-500 Hz) and remembers, over about
4 s, how high each spectral bump is at a fixed frequency and relative
to the note. Bumps that follow the note (a boosted harmonic the patch
is built on) get less cut; bumps fixed in Hz (formants, room modes)
are cut as before. On a saw line F1-F2 with harmonic 6 boosted, the
cut on that harmonic drops from 5.78 dB to 0.44 dB at 100 %, while a
fixed formant at 1.5 kHz stays at 5.78 dB. One held note is cut as
normal, since the two cases cannot be told apart.

- New parameter tone-guard (0-100 %, default 0), appended at the end;
  0 % is the old behaviour and old settings load unchanged.
- New Bass line preset.
- Editor: Tone guard control, NOTE readout and a strip over the
  spectrum where cuts are held back.
- No added latency, no allocation on the audio thread; patina-core now
  depends on common-dsp.

The io.storyboard.* IDs were a leftover from Motif Storyboard and named
old functions (motif, sub-anchor, layer-align) instead of the products.
Every plugin now uses io.narl.bass-foundry.<product>, and IDs are frozen
from here on, even across renames.

Hosts see the new IDs as different plugins: delete the old .clap files,
rescan, and add the plugins again in existing projects. Rivet session
JSON and Patina parameter IDs are unchanged.

- Rivet 0.5.0, Patina 0.3.0; Anvil, Crucible, Lathe, Temper, Weld and
  Knurl 0.2.0.
- Docs, changelogs and the release table describe the change.
- Website: upgrade note in the Install section.

Two new CLAP effects aimed at riddim and dubstep production, plus shared
crates so all four plugins keep one look and reuse DSP.

Anvil 0.1.0 (io.storyboard.sub-anchor):
- Replaces the band below Split with a clean mono sine. Every note gets
  the same peak level and restarts at the same phase, so switch-ups keep
  their weight and kick hits line up.
- Pitch and note starts come from the audio (YIN, 80 ms lookahead
  reported to the host) or from MIDI notes sent to the effect.
- Dynamics, Drive, Octave, Glide, Phase, Gate and Keep; Solo sub monitor,
  note readout, level meters and a low-band oscilloscope.

Crucible 0.1.0 (io.storyboard.resampler):
- Records its input continuously in a lock-free ring with host transport
  markers. Capture takes the newest 1-16 complete bars on the bar grid,
  following tempo changes, or the newest audio when stopped.
- Grid (straight and triplet) or transient slicing, manual cuts, slice
  audition without audio-thread allocation.
- Export writes the loop, trimmed, declicked and normalised slices named
  and tagged with their root note, and an optional 2048-sample wavetable
  for Serum and Vital.

Shared:
- common-ui holds the palette, fonts, knobs and panels taken from Patina;
  Patina renders identically. Rotary knobs at their minimum no longer
  tessellate a zero-length arc into NaN vertices.
- common-dsp holds biquads, a Linkwitz-Riley crossover, YIN, note helpers
  and a float WAV writer with sampler root and Serum frame chunks.
- Catalog, CI matrix, release tags, editor previews and docs cover both
  plugins; a script test keeps the catalog and workflows in step.

Patina 0.2.0. The old detector compared raw FFT bins with a one-octave
dB mean, so every harmonic of a tonal sound looked like a resonance and
real harsh bumps were barely touched. The new detector:

- averages power over each log band and smooths it over time
- joins harmonic tops into an envelope, smoothed by Sharpness
- compares it with a robust, tilt-aware local line fit that ignores
  empty regions and cannot be lifted by the bump itself

Six overlapping controls become Depth, Sharpness and Selectivity; focus
points now read "up cuts more, down protects". The analysis window is
halved to 2048 samples (about 43 ms delay). Behaviour tests cover plain
harmonic tones, resonant bumps, narrow rings, level independence,
flicker on noise and high sample rates.

Both editors get a dark metallic look with #FF0160 as the single
accent colour; screenshots and docs are updated. Projects saved with
Patina 0.1 load the new controls at their defaults.
