biggy 05fd6440bd docs: add agent guidance and historical audit report
Add root AGENT.md with project conventions, build verification steps,
source layout, style rules, and real-time/concurrency requirements.
Add per-module AGENT.md files for each existing and proposed source
subdirectory. Add AUDIT_REPORT.md as a historical Phase 1 snapshot
documenting memory management, error handling, concurrency model,
naming conventions, and anti-pattern catalog.

# plugin module
## Related source files
This directory contains guidance; the implementation remains in
`../PluginProcessor.h` and `../PluginProcessor.cpp`.
## Rules
- Keep this the JUCE `AudioProcessor` boundary: APVTS, engine, RAVE, presets and state.
- Declare the full parameter layout in `createParameterLayout()`.
- Use `juce::ScopedNoDenormals` in `processBlock`.
- Guard `getRawParameterValue` and `getParameter` results before dereferencing them.
- Return silently on null or invalid state XML and invalid ValueTrees.
- Use raw `new` only for JUCE-owned objects (`createEditor`, `createPluginFilter`).
- Prefer const accessors over the public `parameters`, `engine` and `rave` fields for new code.
## IF-THEN
- IF state XML is null or invalid THEN return without touching the APVTS.
- IF a parameter is missing from a preset load THEN skip it with an `if (auto* param = ...)` guard.
## Examples
```cpp
// BAD: dereferences a possibly null XML result
auto xml = getXmlFromBinary (data, size);
auto state = juce::ValueTree::fromXml (*xml);
```
```cpp
// GOOD: null guard, silent return
std::unique_ptr<juce::XmlElement> xml (getXmlFromBinary (data, size));
if (xml == nullptr)
return;
juce::ValueTree state = juce::ValueTree::fromXml (*xml);
if (! state.isValid())
return;
```
