biggy e4cea300db chore: land janitor round 1 and graft integration
Round 1 findings and fixes, all previously uncommitted:
- FXProcessor per-slot DSP history repair (HEAD does not compile without it)
- SynthVoice::getModulationValue, editor control-lock guard
- ExactCompare.h naming the deliberate exact float comparisons
- KnobLookAndFeel replacing the never-installed SerumLookAndFeel
- 55 first-party compiler warnings to 0
- AGENT.md renamed to AGENTS.md across Source/
- graft repository context graph and its hooks
- JANITOR_TASKS.md and UI_UX_AUDIT.md records

## Rules
- Use `theme::` colours from Resources.h instead of hardcoded colour values.
- Own GUI attachments with `std::unique_ptr`.
- Own component children by value or with `std::unique_ptr`; `addAndMakeVisible` only attaches and shows them, and does not manage their lifetime.
- Refresh visuals from a `juce::Timer` callback on the message thread, not from the audio thread.
- Keep layout constants in the `layout` namespace and derive every position from them.
- Use `std::function` formatters for value readouts.
- Reference `ids::` for APVTS parameter IDs.
## IF-THEN
- IF a control reads a DSP value THEN refresh it on the message thread from a thread-safe snapshot or atomic value. A `timerCallback` alone does not make a shared DSP read safe.
- IF a raw parameter pointer is dereferenced THEN null-guard it first.
## Examples
```cpp
// BAD: unchecked raw parameter dereference
const float v = processor.parameters.getRawParameterValue (ids::f1Cutoff)->load();
```
```cpp
// GOOD: null guard with fallback
const float v = processor.parameters.getRawParameterValue (ids::f1Cutoff)
? processor.parameters.getRawParameterValue (ids::f1Cutoff)->load()
: 0.0f;
```
