feat(studio,core): a volume and a living meter on the group row

B7: the group bus strip — droppable, and deliberately minimal per the
casual-user design constraints (groups doc §5): a volume slider, a level
bar that moves with the sound, and the words "Too loud" when it clips. No
dB numbers, no peak-hold readout, no routing row.

Transport (core): groupInput() now routes each group through input -> [FX
chain or dry passthrough] -> output -> master, with one AnalyserNode per
group tapped off `output` (post-FX, so the meter reads what the bus
actually outputs) — fftSize 256, level not spectrum. groupLevel(groupId)
returns RMS-ish level 0..1 + a clipped flag off a reused per-group buffer
(no per-frame allocation), or null when the group is idle/unknown. The
runtime posts group-levels messages only while playing, piggybacking the
existing message channel rather than adding a new poll loop.

Studio: groupLevels.ts is a plain pub-sub store (mirrors liveTime.ts's
shape) fed by useTimelinePlayer's message handler via
parseGroupLevelsMessage; useGroupLevel throttles re-renders to ~33ms.
TimelineGroupBusStrip renders in the group row's own `∿` lane area
(STRIP_H, already sized in B2's row-height pipeline) — drag writes live
via onSetAudioGroupAttributeLive, release commits one undo entry via
onSetAudioGroupAttributeQuiet (packages/studio/src/hooks/
timelineAudioGroupVolume.ts, extracted from timelineTrackVisibility.ts to
stay under the 600-line cap; mirrors FxParamRow's live/commit split).
"Too loud" holds for ~2s after the last clipped block, tracked in the
component, not the transport. volumeByGroup mirrors labelByGroup in
useTimelineTrackDerivations.ts so the strip's slider round-trips the
group's own data-volume.

Fixed two pre-existing group-routing tests in webAudioTransport.test.ts
that hardcoded gain-node creation order/count — B7 inserts an extra
`output` gain node between the group's input and master (for the meter to
tap), which shifted node indices the tests asserted on directly.
