 fix: 13 bugs from systematic codebase review (fix25)
+feat: add production-grade FMUpsampler (not yet wired)
 
 === SIGNAL PATH (fixes audible/measurable on HW) ===
 
 [CRITICAL] stereo: fix 38kHz subcarrier 1-sample phase offset
   Encode() called Sample() before capturing Phase(), so the 38kHz
   subcarrier used phase_{n+1} while pilot used phase_n — a constant
-  60° phase error at 228kHz, degrading stereo separation to ~50%.
+  60 deg phase error at 228kHz, degrading stereo separation to ~50%.
   Now captures phase BEFORE tick; stores lastPhase for coherent
   RDS carrier derivation.
 
 [HIGH] rds: phase-lock 57kHz carrier to pilot via StereoEncoder
   RDS encoder had its own free-running 57kHz oscillator instead of
-  deriving from 3×pilot. Two independent float64 oscillators drift
+  deriving from 3x pilot. Two independent float64 oscillators drift
   apart over hours. Added NextSampleWithCarrier(carrier float64),
-  generator now passes stereoEncoder.RDSCarrier() (sin(3·pilotPhase))
+  generator now passes stereoEncoder.RDSCarrier() (sin(3*pilotPhase))
   so all subcarriers share one phase reference. NextSample() remains
   as backward-compat fallback with internal carrier.

+=== NEW: FMUpsampler (not wired, for future split-rate path) ===
+
+  dsp/fmupsample.go — production-grade phase-domain FM upsampler.
+  Accumulates FM phase at source rate (228kHz), linearly interpolates
+  to device rate (2.28MHz), emits IQ via sin/cos. Zero-allocation
+  steady state. Cross-chunk boundary via prevPhase + srcPos carry.
+  Symmetric phase wrapping. Virtual index coordinate system places
+  prevPhase at vi=0, srcPhases at vi=1..N for seamless boundaries.
+
+  dsp/fmupsample_test.go — 16 tests + 1 benchmark:
+  - Zero/DC/varying composite signals
+  - Output count for exact and non-integer ratios
+  - Phase continuity across chunk boundaries (critical)
+  - Non-integer ratio boundary continuity (50 chunks)
+  - Phase wrapping over 100 chunks at full deviation
+  - Negative deviation (tests symmetric wrapping)
+  - Equivalence with FMModulator via frequency comparison
+  - Buffer reuse verification (pointer identity)
+  - Reset state clearing
+  - Tiny chunks (1 sample), alternating composite (stress)
+  - Long-run: 72000 chunks simulating 1 hour
+  - Benchmark with ReportAllocs
+
+  NOT wired into Engine — will be integrated when split-rate path
+  is enabled for Pluto/HackRF on Raspi.

+// FMUpsampler converts a composite baseband signal at a low source rate into

+// then linearly interpolate the phase to device rate and emit sin/cos.
