Jivetalking 0.4.0

Stability, clarity, and clean foundations 🧹

This release fixes real batch-processing bugs and sharpens the language Jivetalking uses to describe what it measures. The -16 LUFS target and audio quality are unchanged.

The most important fix: adaptive per-file tuning is now properly isolated, so processing a batch of recordings no longer lets one file's settings bleed into the next. Loudnorm capture got hardened too, no double-close, no leaking state between files. Output filenames now carry the correctly rounded LUFS value.

The "silence" detection concept has been renamed room tone throughout the tool, reports, and docs. That's what it actually measures: the quiet ambient sound between speech that profiles your noise floor. Reports now prioritise the elected room-tone candidate and fall back gracefully when scoring thresholds aren't met, rather than promoting rejected candidates.

Under the hood, a significant refactor split the filter configuration into base and effective layers and threaded it cleanly through the pipeline. No change to processing behaviour, but the groundwork is laid for cleaner adaptive processing ahead.
