Subject: [PATCH] docs(dock): the desktop ladder says it includes TRAX
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

TRAX is not a separate bus: it plays through the default output device and WASAPI loopback taps
that device, so the music genuinely is in the desktop bed — the Desktop ladder moving with a track
is correct, not a leak. The bay now says so on the label and in a tooltip, because two moving
ladders for one sound invites exactly this question.

No behaviour change: routing stays right (the stream hears the music once, via loopback).
