Miguel Ángel b3c43e2480 feat(cli): add normalize-audio to match one clip's loudness to another (#3306)
* feat(cli): add normalize-audio to match one clip's loudness to another

Measures two authored `<audio>` clips with FFmpeg's integrated EBU R128
loudness and writes the target's matching `data-volume`, leaving the
reference untouched.

The measurement is bounded to the window the composition actually plays.
`data-end` bounds a clip's timeline window just as `data-duration` does, and
`-ss`/`-t` belong before `-i`: after it they bound the OUTPUT, and with
`-f null` there is none, so ebur128 keeps integrating past the clip. On a
fixture whose played window is -61.8 LUFS inside a file that measures -27.9
whole, either mistake reports a loudness the composition never plays and
"corrects" an already-matched clip by tens of dB.

Two EBU R128 passes run between reading the composition and writing it, each
bounded only by a two-minute timeout, and the skill docs tell agents to keep
Studio open meanwhile — so the attribute patch is re-applied to a fresh read
and written through a temp file and a rename.

Under `--json` the failures are documents too: an agent doing
`JSON.parse(stdout)` on a bare error line throws. A pair needing more than the
+12 dB ceiling has a source-file problem rather than a mixer one — mixer gain
raises the noise floor with the signal — so the refusal names the remedy.

* fix(cli): validate --tolerance before paying for the measurement

Each EBU R128 pass is bounded at 120s and normalize-audio runs two, so
parsing the argument afterwards made a typo'd --tolerance cost both of them
before failing on something that was wrong from the start.

Not pinned by a test: the ordering is internal to the command and neither it
nor the parser is exported, so covering it would mean restructuring for a spy
rather than asserting the behaviour.

* docs(cli): restore the blank line between the preview and normalize-audio sections

Lost when I resolved the rebase conflict against the background-preview docs
by hand instead of letting the formatter near it. oxfmt --check failed on the
one file, which fails Preflight — and because preview-parity needs Preflight it
skipped, and the preview-regression gate fails closed on a skip, so a missing
newline read as a preview defect.

The quieter half: the same needs chain meant the required Test context was
never created at that head. Not failing — absent, so there was no test signal
at all on the PR.
