tcpsyn 7d88c76f90 Add post-production pipeline: stem recorder, postprod script, recording UI
New stem recording system captures 5 time-aligned WAV files (host, caller,
music, sfx, ads) during live shows. Standalone postprod.py processes stems
into broadcast-ready MP3 with gap removal, voice compression, music ducking,
and EBU R128 loudness normalization.
