Alpha 0.3.36: let the Hegemony gate resound

[ael-dev3]

What changed

• adds the exact reviewed Hegemony_Empire_Admission_Request_Button.mp3 bytes to the Request Access gesture
• gives the sound one bounded, non-overlapping player that respects mute, backgrounding, teardown, and the global SFX stop
• retimes the existing Hegemony seal into a close gold strike and softer violet echo aligned to the measured waveform
• records exact provenance and runtime checksums and publishes concise Alpha 0.3.36 notes

Why

Request Access already settled locally and visibly, but it did not yet carry the supplied Hegemony admission sound. This makes the petition feel ceremonial without changing admission authority or adding latency.

Player impact

The first Request Access gesture now produces one restrained admission resonance and a synchronized water-like ripple. Existing requests stay quiet and non-clickable. The later server-confirmation cue remains a separate signal.

Validation

• 2,810 tests across 260 files, run with one worker
• focused audio, SFX director, access lifecycle, CSS, menu, and build identity suites after the final lifecycle refinement
• TypeScript project check
• exact runtime asset, file-size, and license-policy verification
• production build plus Farcaster Mini App and production-exclusion verification
• rendered local browser timing check: fixed button bounds, clean 2-second media settlement, and no console warnings or errors
