Slab 0.0.13

• Limiter changes keep parallel paths aligned. Snapped lookahead changes
  update compensation before their first block, and the limiter uses its
  reported whole-sample delay consistently at ring boundaries. Machine
  displays read completed DSP snapshots; recording stop retains the final
  in-flight capture block, and preview replacement keeps ownership when
  its retirement queue is full.

• Playback keeps running through machine and asset edits. Instruments,
  insert chains, rack parts, samples and wavetables are prepared off audio
  and adopted at block boundaries; the callback no longer waits for UI or
  compiler locks. Snapshot storage cannot be overwritten while audio uses
  it. Parallel workers sleep when idle, and live playback uses serial
  rendering when realtime worker admission is unavailable.

• Raw DSP avoids lazy interpreter thread-local initialization. Audio
  worker slots pass explicitly, and loop enable/bounds publish together.

Known limits: large SMEAR windows can exceed small live-block budgets;
continuously changing lookahead still uses chunk-granular compensation.
Parallel playback still waits for admitted realtime workers. This release
removes control-thread waits, without claiming a universal deadline guarantee.
Insert chains support up to 128 effects. Limiter delay near whole-sample
boundaries can differ by one sample from previous rounding. See
the realtime safety audit
for details and tests.
