shawn 77a757cee6 R1: Dashboard 500 fix, Phase 2/7 uncommitted changes
- Fix dashboard 500 when deps disconnected — _gather_state() now returns
  full defaults instead of bare {'connected': False}
- Phase 2: FX param schemas aligned with DSP implementations
- Phase 7: Pipeline routing, preset manager improvements
- Factory presets: cleanup and normalization

Fixes dashboard crash on disconnected state (dogfood issue #1)

"""Generate seed cabinet IR (Impulse Response) .wav files for the Pi Multi-FX Pedal.
Each IR models a different speaker cabinet type using DSP techniques:
- Speaker low-pass roll-off (cone diameter determines cutoff)
- Cabinet resonance peaks (Helmholtz resonance)
- Cone breakup modes (notch filters for mechanical resonances)
- Exponential decay envelope (room-dependent)
- Microphone proximity effect (slight high-end roll-off)
Output: ~/.pedal/irs/ directory or a bundled factory-irs path.
Usage:
