set: fourteen tracks, and the file follows backlog again

The set was rewritten this afternoon — 17 down to 14, 8m30 each, the START
and the closer dropped and Rose Rouge moved to the end. setlist_thu24.txt
still held Sunday's seventeen, and the gig card I wrote an hour ago still
said "17 tracks", so both were quietly wrong about tonight.

All fourteen re-verified cold with silent-eval --seeded: 14/14, every
declared orbit emits. Two BPM labels in backlog disagree with what the
files declare via setcps — Cafe Tiede and Force Motrice are 125, not 124 —
so the file carries the measurement and says which it is.

The dropped three stay as comments rather than vanishing, and the empty
encore slot carries the one measured candidate for it.
