Strip Silence v0.0.4-beta

What's new

This one is all tuning. After repetitive testing on real material, the built-in defaults changed:

• Threshold stays at -60 dB (unchanged).
• Head pad is now 0 ms instead of using the safety padding. At -60 dB the cut already lands right where each sound starts, and testing showed even half a sample of extra lead-in made no difference.
• Tail padding still falls back to the 25 ms safety padding.

If you have a .strip-silence.json, it still wins on any setting it mentions; anything it leaves out falls back to these values. No config file needed.

Everything else is untouched: detection algorithm, the Strip Silence Edit dialog, single-undo behavior.

Known issues

• If your selection starts exactly where a clip starts (no time selected before it), a few milliseconds of silence can remain at the very start of the selection after stripping. Workaround: extend the selection slightly before the clip and re-run.
