Consolidates six open PRs into one reviewable change, rebased onto main with their commits kept, plus review fixes. The capo, fast-chord-run, effective-tuning and event changes mirror patches I've been playing with a real guitar in a patched build.

Closes #24, closes #73, closes #75, closes #77, closes #79, closes #81.
Supersedes #72, #74, #76, #78, #80, #82.

What changes

Review fixes on top

  • The tuning resync now runs at the top of the desktop bridge tick, so a mid-song retune is also picked up on addons without the engine verifier (matchNotes(null) fallback).
  • Offsets are rounded to whole semitones for the Int32 engine, and setChart's pitchCheckCents is widened by that rounding error (up to 50 c), so a +45 c record no longer pushes notes out of tolerance. The scoreChord window is unchanged.
  • One shared bend/slide reader and one section helper across the merged changes; engine chord members keep sus.

Tests

node --test test/*.test.js: 386/386 pass. Includes every test from the six PRs, plus new tests for the downlevel-path resync, the rounding gate and verdictAt / noteEnd.

Version 1.33.0; CHANGELOG entry added.

Core's highway sends `sl`/`slu` as the slide-to fret (-1 = no slide) and
the bend amount as `bn`. note_detect read `!!cn.sl` / `cn.b`, so every
plain note looked like a slide (widened pitch window / lenient pitch
gate) and real bends were never seen. Read both through new
_ndHasSlide/_ndHasBend helpers that accept the wire numbers and the
booleans note_detect's own payloads carry, including the chart pushed
to the desktop engine.

currentSection only advanced at the tail of checkMisses(), which returns
early under the engine verifier, so desktop sessions recorded no
per-section stats and notedetect:session.sections was always empty.
Keep the section tracker running on that path, and bin each judgment by
the section its note sits in (engine verdicts land after the playhead
may have crossed into the next section), falling back to the playhead's
section when the note time is unknown.

Rocksmith capo charts write fretted notes at their absolute fret and
only fret 0 means open (sounding at the capo): a capo-4 E chord is
A7 D6 G0 B5. Expected pitch added the capo to every fret, so each
fretted note was expected `capo` semitones sharp and capo charts
barely scored.

Expected pitch is now open + fret for fretted notes and open + capo
for open ones. The display fallback reports frets from the nut too.
The desktop engine applies open + capo + fret itself, so both bridge
funnels hand it capo 0 with open notes moved to the capo fret.

In a fast run of one chord shape the next chord is already sounding
when its window opens, and three spots booked that as an EARLY miss:

- engine verifier: the chord took the detect time of the first member
  listed. It now takes the member detected closest to the chart time.
- engine verifier: a chord verified as its window opened could be
  stamped just before the early hit edge by the lagging pushed
  playhead. Stamps within 100 ms of the window now count as on time.
- scoreChord path: one EARLY strummed frame locked the chord in as a
  miss. It no longer does; a later frame can still hit, and
  checkMisses() retires the chord as before if none does.

Expected pitches were mapped from getSongInfo().tuning/.capo, the
ORIGINAL chart metadata, while the notes we score come from
getNotes()/getChords(), which already carry any chart-transform
provider's output. A retuned / converted-to-E-standard chart therefore
showed the new notes but scored them against the old pitches (got-feedBack#24).

- _syncChartStateFromHw reads core's effective getTuning()/getCapo()/
  getCentOffset() (feedBack#952), falling back to song_info on hosts
  without them.
- The effective centOffset is applied as a global reference shift,
  minus whole octaves (octave-folded matching and the bass base tables
  already cover extended-range bass's -1200), folded into the per-string
  offsets so it reaches every expected MIDI via _ndMidiFromStringFret.
- A per-tick identity check resyncs when a provider restages mid-song
  (live retune) with no song/arrangement event; the effective offsets
  join the engine chart signature so the desktop verifier re-pushes.
- The bridge funnels round offsets to whole semitones (the engine reads
  Int32), so a semitone retune reaches the engine exactly.

This makes a pitch-shift plugin integrate by registering a
chart-transform provider (tuning and/or centOffset) instead of a
private event. Bumps 1.32.0 -> 1.33.0.

A stats or scorecard plugin could only get per-string chord results,
technique names, latency or section by patching screen.js. Every
emitted judgment now also carries:

- key: the note id (same as getNoteState's popKey)
- strings: per-string verdicts { s, f, hit, centsError, snr?,
  detectedAt? } for chords on every path (a missed browser chord
  reports its best frame) and for engine-path single notes
- techniques: named techniques from the chart note's wire flags
- latencyMs / avOffsetMs, detector, section (by note time)
- counted, points, multiplier, streak, isDefault

All additive; existing fields are unchanged. README documents the
contract.

…te for rounding

Two follow-ups from review of the effective-tuning change (got-feedBack#72):

- The per-tick _ndResyncIfTuningChanged() only ran inside the engine-
  verifier branch (and in processFrame). A desktop addon without the
  verifier API takes the detect + matchNotes(null) fallback, which runs
  neither, so a mid-song retune was never picked up there. The resync
  now runs once at the top of the bridge tick, ahead of every branch.
- _ndEngineOffsets rounds fractional offsets to whole semitones for the
  Int32 engine, which moves every expected pitch by up to 50 cents. On
  records that sit +25..+50 c sharp (plenty of Oasis) that alone can
  push a well-played note out of the engine's presence gate. setChart
  now adds the worst-case rounding error (_ndEngineRoundingCents) to
  pitchCheckCents; the scoreChord window is left alone.

Tests cover both: the downlevel fallback resyncs after a restage, and
the pushed gate grows by 45 / 50 c for +45 / +50 c and not at all for a
whole-semitone retune.

…ction helpers

With the desktop engine verifier, a sustained note's or chord's verdict
lands only after its sustain closes. By then highway_3d has culled the
gem (0.75 s after the note's start; chord frames latch at 0.55 s), so
roughly one hit in ten counted with no flash. A renderer can't tell a
late verdict from an on-time one without knowing when it arrived and
when the note ended, so every chart judgment now also carries:

- verdictAt: the highway's chart time when the verdict was emitted
- noteEnd: noteTime plus the longest sustain of the note / chord
  (engine chord members now keep their sus for this)

While consolidating got-feedBack#77 with got-feedBack#79 and got-feedBack#81, also drop the duplicate
readers they each added: _ndTechniqueNames reads bend/slide through
_ndHasBend/_ndHasSlide, and the per-instance _ndSectionNameAt (used by
section stats) and the event's `section` field both go through
_ndSectionAt, so stats and events always agree on a note's section.

The plugin had no changelog. Start one with an [Unreleased] entry that
covers the six consolidated changes (capo, fast chord runs, effective
tuning, technique flags, section stats on desktop, richer judgment
events) so the release notes for 1.33.0 are written once.

Assert the post-retune scoring request.

The existing chord remains scorable after the retune, and the fallback path calls scoreChord. The conditional assertion can skip the offset check if that request stops occurring. Assert the request unconditionally. Advancing to a different chord is not required.

Suggested test fix
-    if (h.scoreChordReqs.length > before) {
-        const req = h.scoreChordReqs[h.scoreChordReqs.length - 1];
-        assert.equal(Array.from(req.offsets).join(','), '-2,-2,-2,-2,-2,-2',
-            'a chord scored after the restage uses the new tuning');
-    }
+    assert.ok(h.scoreChordReqs.length > before,
+        'the fallback path scored a chord after the restage');
+    const req = h.scoreChordReqs[h.scoreChordReqs.length - 1];
+    assert.equal(Array.from(req.offsets).join(','), '-2,-2,-2,-2,-2,-2',
+        'a chord scored after the restage uses the new tuning');
