monkey-w1n5t0n ffac04090c refactor(firmware): delete vendored daisysp and the input_router layer
Phase 1 group 8 (S8, ST2, L14).

- S8: the vendored src/daisysp tree (96 files, 41 .cpp compiled into every
  firmware build) and its sketch-tree symlink. Zero consumers — nisps replaced
  daisysp's PitchShifter with a custom granular implementation. Corrected
  firmware/README.md and setup-firmware-toolchain.sh, which called it a live
  submodule. The attribution comment in nisps/dsp/pitch_shift.hpp stays: it is
  an honest provenance note about a port, not a dependency.
  Noted while verifying: src/memllib/examples/KassiaAudioApp includes
  ../../daisysp/..., but examples/ is not symlinked into the sketch tree and is
  never compiled by the firmware build, so the deletion stands.
- ST2: input_router.hpp was a zero-logic speculative layer with one consumer;
  the .ino now calls bind_peripherals directly.
- L14: peripherals.hpp — deleted kAnalogInputCount, PeripheralBindings and the
  unused spread local, and extracted the duplicated commit-and-train block into
  one helper. The audit's suggested commit_and_train(mode, feedback) signature
  could NOT be behaviour-identical: repositioning() implies placing() (both
  live in ExploreState::Placing), so dispatching on feedback state inside the
  helper would silently reroute a TogB2 press mid-reposition from commit_place
  to commit_reposition, which differs (no snapshot restore, clears
  reposition_). Implemented as commit_and_train(mode, feedback, bool
  reposition) with the branch decided at the call site, preserving behaviour.

Firmware is not compiled by any gate yet (that arrives with the PlatformIO
migration, plan §5/S9), so this group is verified by reading and grep only.
Gates: run-all-tests.sh ALL GREEN.

# `firmware/` — Arduino sketch + hardware glue
Thin shell around `nisps/`. The platform-agnostic ML / DSP / engines / modes live there; this directory contains:
- `MEMLNaut-NISPS.ino` — entry point. Picks one mode at compile time, hosts the dual-core lifecycle (Core 0: ML + UI, Core 1: audio + MIDI), and connects glue to mode.
- `glue/audio_driver.hpp` — bridges memllib's `AudioDriver` block callback to `Mode::process(stereosample_t)`. Templated trampoline so no virtual dispatch in audio path.
- `glue/peripherals.hpp` — wires MEMLNaut joystick / pots / buttons to `Mode::set_input(idx, value)` and the ML primitives (`draw_weights`, `move_weights`, `train`, `reset`).
- `glue/midi_io.hpp` — binds incoming MIDI to `mode.note_on/note_off/update_bpm/set_playing` (where supported); drains outgoing `ControlEvent`s from the mode's ring buffer to the MIDI UART.
- `glue/output_router.hpp` — drains engine events + mode events; called from `loop1()`.
- `glue/mode_select.hpp` — type aliases mapping `MEMLNautMode<Name>` identifiers to `nisps::modes::<Name>Mode` C++ types. Build script rewrites `MEMLNAUT_MODE_TYPE` between the alternatives.
## Building
```bash
scripts/build-firmware.sh # interactive variant prompt
scripts/build-firmware.sh PAFSynth # build a specific variant
scripts/build-and-flash-firmware.sh # build + flash via UF2
```
Target: `rp2040:rp2040:solderparty_rp2350_stamp_xl:opt=Optimize3` with `compiler.cpp.extra_flags=-std=gnu++20`.
## Include paths
Arduino-CLI compiles every `*.cpp` / `*.hpp` reachable from the sketch directory and from any submodule under `src/`. Headers under `nisps/` are included via relative path (`#include "../../nisps/..."`). No `-I` flag injection needed.
`src/memllib` is the only git submodule; the `firmware-common.sh` wrapper rejects builds when it drifts from the recorded revision.
## Verification
You cannot test on hardware from a sandbox. We verify three things:
1. `arduino-cli compile` succeeds for at least three modes (PAFSynth, ChannelStrip, BreakOr).
2. Host C++ tests in `nisps/build` still pass — the firmware refactor must not perturb the platform-agnostic library.
3. `git grep` confirms no remaining references to deleted root-level files.
## Removed
- Root-level `MEMLNaut-NISPS.ino`, `IMLInterface.hpp`, `*AudioApp.hpp`, `XiasriAnalysis.{cpp,hpp}` — replaced by `nisps/engines/*` and `firmware/MEMLNaut-NISPS.ino`.
- Root-level `modes/MEMLNautMode*.hpp` and `modes/AudioApps/` — replaced by `nisps/modes/*` and the `mode_select.hpp` type aliases.
- Root-level `voicespaces/` — replaced by static voice space data inlined into engines (`nisps/engines/paf_synth.hpp` etc.).
- `src/memlp/` submodule — replaced by `nisps/ml/`.
