A clip was cut from its sound's file, so a game decoded the whole file for it and held it for as long as the page was open. A long recording played through a few short clips cost the recording. Every clip now has a copy of its cut as Opus, with Stream on or off, and a game decodes that instead. - StreamKeeper makes the copy of each clip whether its sound streams or not. Stream only decides whether a sound gets a copy of its own. - clipCopyTable says which cut decodes from which copy. The sound library loads the copy for a clip unless the whole file is decoded already. Then the clip is cut from that as before. - projectFiles decodes the whole file ahead only where something may play the sound itself: no clips, a clip without a fitting copy, or the sound's id anywhere in an asset that can name one. That last test walks the data, not the fields, so no place is missed. - A copy that cannot be had falls back to the whole file. A library that bakes keeps to the whole files, as the bake's fingerprint does. Tests: - Gate: CHECK EXIT 0, 280 files, 4319 tests (7 new: streams +4, sound-library +3). - e2e 34: ALL PASSED, 108 checks (2 new). With Stream off a fresh library decodes the ten-second reversed clip's copy and not the five-minute file. It is the cut made from the original to within 0.0091 a sample and 0.013 dB in any 20 ms. Once a node plays the sound itself, the whole file is decoded ahead again. - e2e 65: all passed with this change. - Counter-checks red as they should be: the library ignoring copies, the whole file always decoded ahead, clip copies only with Stream.
