nvrl e3286f9094 feat(weld): add sidechain test build
Weld will phase-align a bass layer to another layer it hears through the
sidechain. This first build only checks that FL Studio delivers the
sidechain to a CLAP aux port: it passes the main layer through unchanged,
meters the sidechain and offers Layer/Sum/Sum dry listening. No latency.

# Weld
Weld aligns the phase of one bass layer to another layer so the two sum
instead of cancelling in the mids.
> **Status: sidechain test build.** This build only checks that FL Studio
> delivers a sidechain signal to Weld. It passes the main layer through
> unchanged and shows the sidechain level. Phase alignment comes in the next
> build.
## Set up in FL Studio
1. Load Weld on the mixer track of one layer (the main layer).
2. On the mixer track of the other layer, right-click the route arrow to the
main layer's track and choose **Sidechain to this track**.
3. In Weld's plugin wrapper, open the settings (gear icon) and, under the
processing or input routing options, set Weld's sidechain input to that
track.
4. Play both layers. The large readout must show `sidechain: −NN dBFS`, and the
SIDECHAIN meter must move.
## Controls
- **Listen**:
- **Layer** outputs the main layer; use it in the mix.
- **Sum** outputs the main layer plus the sidechain layer. Mute the other
layer's own send to the master while you listen to Sum.
- **Sum dry** outputs the unprocessed sum, for comparison.
- **Output**: output trim.
- **Bypass**.
Weld adds no latency.
