+/**
+ * LANE-UI — the bridge to THE SPEAKER's radio control.
+ *
+ * Order 9's tuner dock drives the audio engine through a narrow control that LANE-SCREEN
+ * exports from `src/audio` (their documented API: setFrequency / setBand / volume / mute /
+ * getState / subscribe). That export does not exist yet — `src/audio` is still a stub — so
+ * this module resolves the control at runtime and, until it lands, drives a local echo
+ * stand-in so every dial is fully functional and testable now.
+ *
+ * COORDINATION (see NOTES): I resolve the control from, in order,
+ *   1. `window.__fktrySpeaker.radio`  — the handshake I'm proposing (SCREEN already keeps
+ *      a `window.__fktryScreen` debug hook, so this is idiomatic for them), or
+ *   2. a `radio` / `getRadio()` export from `../audio` (dynamic, cast — never breaks the
+ *      build if absent).
+ * SCREEN: set one of those to a RadioControl and the dock drives real audio with zero
+ * change here. Tell me in NOTES which name you pick.
+ *
+ * The stand-in is silent — it only echoes state back through `subscribe` so the readout is
+ * honest about what the dock is asking for, even with no engine attached.
