d9fa6d3f55 refactor(highway): make the highway global explicit before the module flip (R3c) (#912)
73 bare `highway.x` references -> `window.highway.x`, across app.js and 10 other files.
Provably a NO-OP today. It is the precondition for flipping highway.js to a module.

━━━ WHY THIS HAS TO LAND FIRST ━━━

highway.js is a CLASSIC script. Its top-level `const highway = createHighway()` therefore
creates a GLOBAL LEXICAL BINDING — visible as a bare name to every other classic script AND
to every ES module. 73 call sites quietly rely on that.

The moment highway.js becomes a module, that binding is gone. `const` in a module is
module-scoped, not global. Every one of those 73 sites becomes a ReferenceError, and the
flip is impossible until they say what they mean.

`window.highway = highway` is already set, to the same object, on the same line. So this is
an identity rewrite — verified in the browser below.

━━━ THE REWRITE BIT ME THREE TIMES. REGEX IS NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS. ━━━

1. A SHADOWED LOCAL. capabilities/note-detection.js does `const highway = window.highway`.
   Its 9 bare uses are LOCAL and already correct; a blind rewrite would have emitted
   `const window.highway = window.highway`. Excluded.

2. HALF-CONVERTED GUARDS — the dangerous one. Six sites read
   `typeof highway !== 'undefined' && highway && typeof highway.setTime === 'function'`.
   The regex converted the CONSEQUENT and left the TEST, which is WORSE than not touching
   them: after the flip `typeof highway` is 'undefined', so each guard is PERMANENTLY FALSE
   and the code behind it silently never runs. transport.js's was the seek->setTime sync:
   the chart clock would have quietly desynced after every seek, with nothing failing.
   All six now test window.highway.

3. TWO MORE BARE REFERENCES, found by Codex [P2] and confirmed by an AST scan: app.js:3114
   and :3176 use `highway && typeof window.highway.getSections === 'function'`. My grep
   searched for `typeof highway`, not `highway &&`. After the flip these throw, the catch
   swallows it, and the editor silently falls back to a ±4s edit window and arrangement 0.

Regex missed a shadow, a half-conversion, and two bare reads. The final check is an
AST pass that resolves scopes and reports every `highway` identifier not bound locally.
It now reports ZERO.

VERIFIED. A/B against origin/main in two browsers, 15 probes, IDENTICAL, zero page errors:
window.highway is the same object as the bare global, the whole API surface resolves, a real
song plays, the chart clock advances, getPerf().drawMs > 0 — and `seek syncs chart` passes,
which is the exact guard I nearly broke in (2).

a222b45c02 refactor(app): carve the viz layer out of app.js — and delete the loader seam (R3a) (#880)
static/js/viz.js (770 lines) — the viz picker, renderer selection, Auto-match,
the WebGL2 probe, the 3D-promotion nag, the notation hints. Bodies VERBATIM.
app.js 11,603 → 10,857.

THE SEAM IS GONE. #878's plugin-loader needed configurePluginLoader({
populateVizPicker }) purely because _populateVizPicker lived in app.js and
importing app.js would have closed a cycle. viz.js is a LEAF — it imports NOTHING
— so plugin-loader now imports _populateVizPicker straight from it. The _host
object, the configure function, its loud-default guard, and the wiring line in
app.js are all deleted. The second carve simplifies the first.

  app.js -> { plugin-loader, viz }
  plugin-loader -> viz
  viz -> (nothing)

NOT A PURE MOVE — one listener block had to be SPLIT. app.js had a single
top-level `if (window.feedBack) { … }` registering four handlers, and only two
were viz. song:loaded / arrangement:changed / song:ready (the mastery slider)
stay in app.js and now call the imported _autoMatchViz / _maybeShowNotationViewHint.
The viz:reverted handler MOVES, because it REASSIGNS _cancelPendingAutoLabel and
an imported binding is read-only — `_cancelPendingAutoLabel = null` would throw if
the listener stayed behind while the state moved.

ORDER CHECKED, NOT ASSUMED: viz.js's song:ready listener now registers BEFORE
app.js's own (imports evaluate first). Safe — _pendingPromotionNag is only ever
set inside _populateVizPicker, which runs at boot/plugin-refresh, never from
inside the other song:ready handler, so the two are independent.

VERIFIED — the listeners are the risk here, so they were DRIVEN, not just booted.
A/B against origin/main in two browsers:
  * viz picker: 6 options (auto|default|venue|drum_highway_3d|keys_highway_3d|
    highway_3d), selected highway_3d, Auto label — IDENTICAL. This alone proves
    plugin-loader's direct import of viz.js works.
  * emit('viz:reverted') -> picker resets to default, localStorage resets to
    default, the warning logs — IDENTICAL. The MOVED listener fires.
  * emit('song:ready') -> mastery slider enables, no throw — IDENTICAL. The SPLIT
    listener still does both halves.
  * plugin screens, module injections, 37 capability participants — IDENTICAL.
  * zero console/page errors on both.

pytest 2396, node 1038/1038, ESLint 0, tailwind-fresh clean. no-cycle re-bitten on
the 3-module graph (viz -> plugin-loader fails).

Codex preflight raised a [P2] claiming viz.js's top-level bus guards would be
false because "app.js only creates the event bus later" — FALSE POSITIVE. app.js
does not create the bus; capabilities.js does, from its own <script type="module">
at index.html:122, and module scripts execute in document order, so the bus exists
long before app.js's import graph evaluates. Instrumented the setter: by viz.js's
turn `window.feedBack.on` is already a function, and the viz:reverted listener is
provably attached (firing it resets the picker). The ordering is also enforced by
test_app_shell_loads_capability_registry_before_app_runtime.

Harnesses: 5 tests retargeted to viz.js across legacy_shim_hits, venue_scene_3d,
venue_viz (each SPLIT — their non-viz tests still read app.js).
