Release v3.7: device-change smoothing, auto-tune spike rejection, wider mic detector, forensic logging

Coalesce capture-engine rebuilds (CompositeCaptureBackend): a swap-triggering
source change now arms a 250ms debounce timer and re-arms on each further
change, so a flap or quick reconfiguration produces ONE rebuild to the final
state instead of a burst (Andre's 16:40 four-rebuilds-in-33s crackle). In-place
updates still apply immediately; a pending rebuild whose target flaps back is
cancelled.

Auto-tune (TickRoute) now keys off the SECOND-highest arrival-gap/render-gap
second in the lookback window instead of the single worst, so a lone ~1s
OS/driver stall no longer balloons the buffer to the 200ms cap (the 16:51
trim burst); sustained jitter still reacts at full speed. Logs both gap-max
(true peak) and gap-used (value acted on).

Mic-privacy detector widened: also catches a per-app Deny aimed at this exe
under ConsentStore\microphone\NonPackaged\<exe>, the HKLM NonPackaged gate,
and the Group-Policy/MDM force-deny (AppPrivacy LetAppsAccessMicrophone=2) —
the block shapes that silence WASAPI capture while ASIO sails past, and that
the old three-value check missed.

Forensic instrumentation so the next log proves what happened: capPeak=
(loudest pre-encode sample, per lane, on the diag line), mic-privacy verdict
logged at startup, ui: capture tick/untick events, and device-event: lines for
Windows endpoint changes.

Docs: mic-privacy + auto-tune sections updated in readme.html, MANUAL.md
regenerated, About-box changelog and RELEASE_NOTES for v3.7.

RemSound v3.7
Changing audio devices mid-session is smoother. A quick
run of device changes now settles for a moment and
rebuilds the sound engine once, instead of several times
in a row so reconfiguring no longer crackles.
The latency auto-tuner keeps its head when the computer
hiccups. A single brief stall no longer makes it balloon
the buffer; it only raises the cushion when late audio
keeps coming.
The microphone-privacy warning now also catches blocks
aimed at RemSound alone, and blocks set by an
administrator policy kinds of block Windows applies
without showing you a switch.
RemSound's log now records the loudness of what you're
sending, the mic-privacy check's verdict, and every
device change so if something goes wrong, the log can
prove what happened instead of leaving us guessing.
RemSound v3.6
Updating is far more reliable. RemSound now installs its
