ui(audio): master meter centred and biggest; TRAX gets its own bay and meter

Creator rulings, 2026-11-01.

- Master strip is 44px (from 36) and its meter is now the largest on screen: 420x14 with 32
  segments, centred under the preview, with a 12px MASTER label — bigger than the 9px bay
  labels. L/R imbalance is a flag on the left, MONO and the session clock on the right.
- The kbps / fps / dropped counters are gone from that line: the live readouts already sit
  above the preview, and the duplicate was noise rather than telemetry.
- TRAX is its own bay (MIC | GAME | TRAX | LIP-SYNC) with its own meter bound to
  TraxMeterFraction. It lived inside the game bay with no ladder, which meant whether the bed
  was actually playing could not be answered from the dock — and the player already measures
  its own output.
- Lip-sync is narrow (0.45 star) since it is one slider and three presets; the three sound bays
  are equal width, so their meters keep the same relative size.

AudioDockLayout moves with it (156 = 112 + 44; collapsed 44) and the layout test is updated.
TraxBayTests now asserts the opposite of the old ruling: the bay HAS a meter, and the game bay
no longer carries it.
