biggy 4b0db50271 refactor(source): move every implementation into its module directory
- 36 files move into the module whose AGENTS.md already claimed them:
  Engine/, Synth/, Modulation/, Params/, Plugin/, GUI/, EffectUnits/, Resources/
- Source/engine, modulation, params, plugin and synth become Engine,
  Modulation, Params, Plugin and Synth, matching the directories that already
  hold code
- ExactCompare.h stays at the Source/ root as the one shared header
- SERUMALT_INCLUDE_DIRS adds one include directory per module, so the 31
  parent-relative includes become plain names with no path prefix
- the module AGENTS.md files list owned files instead of describing a move
  that had not happened, and README.md and AGENTS.md describe the real tree

Verified: the harness passes CTest, the Linux VST3 and Standalone link, the
Windows cross-build passes its module checks, each configure exposes only its
own targets, no first-party warning line appears, and the generated Windows
manifest is unchanged.

# synth module
## Owned files
- Wavetable.h, Wavetable.cpp
- Oscillator.h, Oscillator.cpp
- SubOscillator.h, SubOscillator.cpp
- NoiseOscillator.h, NoiseOscillator.cpp
- Envelope.h, Envelope.cpp
- LFO.h, LFO.cpp
- Filter.h, Filter.cpp
- FilterBank.h, FilterBank.cpp
- SynthVoice.h, SynthVoice.cpp
## Rules
- Use `noexcept` on every per-sample DSP path and cheap getter.
- Use `std::array` for fixed-size state and `std::vector<float>` for delay lines and table buffers.
- Size every buffer and delay line in `prepare()`, never in `process` or `render`.
- Clamp filter and envelope state so extreme settings cannot produce NaN or inf.
- Use `juce::MathConstants<T>::pi` and `twoPi` instead of raw pi literals.
- Use `(size_t)` casts when indexing containers with int loop variables.
- Pass global per-block state into voices as a `const RenderContext&`.
- Never allocate memory in the audio path.
- Keep oscillator phase when changing held-note parameters. LFO phase offsets are separate from the running phase.
## IF-THEN
- Wavetables are prebuilt during Engine construction. Audio and GUI code read them without triggering generation.
- IF a parameter is read every block THEN snapshot it into a struct (`OscParams`, `RenderContext`) instead of reading the APVTS per sample.
## Examples
```cpp
// BAD: lazy table build reached from the render path allocates on the audio thread
const Wavetable& wt = library.getTable (wave);
```
```cpp
// GOOD: build once in the Engine constructor, then only read const references
library.prebuild(); // in the Engine constructor
const Wavetable& wt = library.getTable (wave); // lookup, no allocation
```
```cpp
// BAD: raw pi literal duplicated across files
const double step = 6.28318530717958647692 * freq / sr;
```
```cpp
// GOOD: single source
const double step = juce::MathConstants<double>::twoPi * freq / sr;
```
