Jivetalking 0.5.0

Highlights ✨

• Terminal UI rebuilt on the Charm v2 suite: gradient VU meter with CIELAB colour interpolation, animated spring-eased peak marker, per-pass progress bar with gradient fill, and a timeline layout that persists throughout processing.
• Completion summary redesigned with indigo done boxes, processing time, and objective quality scoring so you can see at a glance how well each file processed.
• Multiple files now process in parallel automatically - concurrency is derived from the number of input files, no flag needed.
• Analysis mode runs in parallel too, writes full results to log files, and now matches the processing view's layout and styling.
• Loudnorm measurement switched from log capture to stats-file readback, making the normalisation pass more reliable across FFmpeg builds and edge cases.
• Pass 1 hot loop deduplicated its metadata fetches, cutting analysis-phase overhead noticeably on longer recordings.
• Go toolchain updated to 1.26, processor internals simplified, and three correctness issues identified in code review resolved.
