The waveguide backend now uses a Faust-friendly state owner:
`wg_loop ~ si.bus(...)`. One feedback component owns the right/left oral and
nasal traveling-wave state instead of hundreds of named recursive equations.
The full 44-section oral tract plus 28-section nasal branch renders through
Faust. Current waveguide baseline: open vowel 0.5578, front vowel 0.5368,
nasal 0.4299, sibilant 0.2852, closure-release 0.1147. Those are pressure
readings, not parity, but closure-release is no longer anti-correlated.
The backend now resamples continuous geometry to an acoustic unit-delay grid
when a waveguide tract does not explicitly request `sections=...`; a 17 cm oral
tract renders as 22 compiled sections at the current 44.1 kHz target instead of
leaking PT's 44 half-sample cells into Aqua as anatomy. Current waveguide

vowel/nasal/sibilant cases now respond to the physical clock correction and
runtime index scaling; the closure fixture remains an exposed failure.
