🔴 Do not re-level the files. Normalising in the exporter destroys the relationship between clips and cannot be undone by a modder.

Gains belong at playback, as data, where a measured value can replace a chosen one without re-exporting anything.

Pass: SE and BGM on separate buses with gains read from data; confirm no longer the loudest thing on screen; every value traceable to either the Decoder's finding or an explicitly authored choice, labelled as such.
Fail: a normalisation pass, or gains baked into the export.

Blocked on whether the mix is on the disc.
