[sync4] applyState camera/light hotfix, M4 verified (audio mux + graft), viseme/audio-UI round unlocked

- stage.js: applyState no longer skips camera/light entities (source
  'upload' but no bytes needed) — loaded scenes were silently losing the
  directing rig; PLAN schema adds source.type 'none' for the clean fix
- lane files: A session-3 + C M4 accepted; A→absorb hotfix + viseme lane
  (M4-A), B→audio rows + Web Audio sync + morphs track (M4-B), C complete

Verified: 6/6 entities restored on scene load, PiP 178x99 capped+visible,
lady 26/26 textured, audio-muxed render h264+aac 8.000s both streams,
graft_limb --selftest green under Blender 5.0.1, node+server suites green.

+**One SYNC 4 regression found & hotfixed by orchestrator, then M4-A unlocked.**
+1. **applyState dropped cameras/lights** on scene load: they carry
+   `source:{type:'upload'}` and applyState skips all upload entities, so a
+   loaded scene silently lost its whole directing rig (verified: 3 of 6
+   entities landed; PiP dead). Hotfix in your stage.js (kind !== camera/light
+   never skipped) — absorb it, then do the clean fix: schema now has
+   `source:{type:'none'}` (PLAN §4.1) — emit it for camera/light in
+   `addEntity` defaults + `captureState`, treat 'none' as always-rebuild in
+   applyState. Keep tolerating legacy 'upload' cams (saved scenes exist).
+2. Your spec-gloss shim + PiP cap verified: lady 26/26 textured on stage and
+   in-render; PiP 178×99 capped 16:9, shows on cut. Nice diagnosis on the
+   CSS aspect-ratio trap and the CC-export extension.
+3. **M4-A — the viseme lane** (last A item in PLAN §5): on character load,
+   detect morph-target dictionaries (`mesh.morphTargetDictionary`); expose
+   `stage.visemeTargets(id)` → canonical viseme names found (A/E/I/O/U/MBP…
+   match loosely, e.g. CC/ARKit names). Inspector shows a 🗣 badge when
+   present, greyed otherwise. Add `stage.setMorph(id, name, weight)` for the
+   timeline to drive. Rhubarb-JSON → keyframes lands on Lane B's side; your
+   deliverable is detection + the setMorph hook + the badge.

+1. Audio rows in tlui from `scene.audio[]`: one lane per clip, draggable

+   button reading `/assets/tree` audio category; delete.
+2. Web Audio playback synced to the master clock: on `play()` schedule
