The output-filtered broadcast still fed EVERY volume/brightness mixer -- the
always-on ambience pulse's own volume mixer got cranked to step intensity on
every stride ('a stuck button', 3/s, loud). The send now identifies footstep
sources by authored patch (FootFallInt/Ext: bank2 37-39, bank1 106/107) through
mixer->GetTargetComponent() -> AudioSource -> PatchResource LOD bank/patch
(new accessors: GetTargetComponent, GetBankID/GetPatchID,
AudioResource::PeekAudioLevelOfDetail).
Also: step intensity curve raised (speed/25, floor 0.55 -- a mech stomp is
never subtle; it was firing at ~0.4 gain and masked under 0.9-gain layers,
heard as an unrecognizable 'orchestral hit').
Verified: FootFallInt at 0.78 gain in the live tape; the ambience pulse back
to its brief authored form (absent from 1/s snapshots).
