feat(audio): synth.rs — VoiceFrame → AudioFrame → iMDCT → PCM → WAV

The missing decode pipeline identified in lance-graph PR #168:
  "AudioFrame not connected to HHTL cascade levels"
  "WAV synthesis was bits-as-vectors — needs audio primitives"

synthesize(): complete VoiceFrame → PCM pipeline:
  1. VoiceFrame decompose → RvqFrame + PhaseDescriptor
  2. RvqFrame.archetype → VoiceCodebook lookup (HEEL level)
  3. RvqFrame.coarse → 21 BF16 band energy prediction (HIP level)
     8 coarse codes cover 7 overlapping band groups + global gain
  4. RvqFrame.fine → 6-byte PVQ summary (TWIG level)
  5. PhaseDescriptor → modulate bands (voiced=boost formants,
     attack=transient emphasis, noise=flatten)
  6. AudioFrame.decode_coarse() → iMDCT → PCM
  7. Overlap-add (50% Hann window) → continuous stream
  8. Optional 48kHz→24kHz decimation

write_wav(): PCM → standard 16-bit WAV file (playable by any software)
validate_wav(): basic WAV header sanity check

7 new tests. Total: 55 audio tests passing across 10 modules.

+//! Synthesize pipeline: VoiceFrame → AudioFrame → iMDCT → PCM → WAV.
+//!
+//! This is the missing piece identified in lance-graph PR #168:
+//!   "AudioFrame not connected to HHTL cascade levels"
+//!   "WAV synthesis was bits-as-vectors — needs audio primitives"
+//!
+//! The pipeline:
+//!   1. VoiceFrame (21B) → decompose into RvqFrame + PhaseDescriptor
+//!   2. RvqFrame.archetype → VoiceCodebook lookup → VoiceArchetype (16B)
+//!   3. RvqFrame.coarse → band energy prediction (8 codes → 21 BF16 bands)
+//!   4. RvqFrame.fine → PVQ shape refinement (8 codes → 6B summary)
+//!   5. PhaseDescriptor → phase-modulate the reconstructed bands
+//!   6. AudioFrame.decode_coarse() → iMDCT → PCM
+//!   7. Overlap-add consecutive frames → continuous PCM stream
+//!   8. Write WAV header + PCM → .wav file
+//!
+//! The mode coloring (from Qualia17D → Mode → family_band_weights) is
+//! applied at step 3: band energies are scaled by the QPL family's
+//! spectral EQ before synthesis.
