The tracker now leads with the one thing no tool can fix from outside: seven
orbit faders sit at -inf in the saved Ardour session, so from a fresh launch
more than half the rig is silent and looks exactly like Tidal emitting nothing,
because Ardour's meters are post-fader. gig-up already restores the baseline in
the Ardour-closed window, which is why this is a checklist line and not a fire.

It matters more tonight than this morning: the orbit compaction moved melodies
onto d5 and d6, two of the seven.
