Add an explicit fm.watermarkEnabled switch, validate fm.stereoMode values, and only persist /config snapshots after a live update succeeds. Also separate evaluation-jingle licensing behavior from watermark handling.

Rework the DSP chain to a clip-filter-clip architecture with cascaded 14 kHz low-pass stages, double 19/57 kHz protection notches, fixed pilot/RDS injection semantics, and explicit MPX gain calibration support. Update config defaults and tests to match the new broadcast-style modulation budgeting and protected composite path.

Add a lock-free stdin PCM ingest path, streaming resampler, stereo-linked limiting and pre-MPX audio filtering, plus the engine/control wiring needed to drive live audio into TX mode. Also document the ingest API and include a helper batch script for piping ffmpeg audio into fmrtx.
