feat(spectool): add --wav decode, IMDCT, and roundtrip test
- spectool --wav <input.spec> <output.wav>: decodes .spec to mono 16-bit WAV at 32 kHz using IDCT-OLA synthesis (no synthesis window). The analysis Hann window at 50% overlap satisfies w[n]+w[n+H]=1, so the synthesis window must be rectangular for perfect reconstruction. - Add imdct_512 / imdct_fft to audio lib (fft.cc, fft.h, idct.cc, dct.h) for future MDCT-based synthesis. - test_wav_roundtrip: in-process OLA analyze+decode SNR test (≥30 dB). Currently measures 53 dB on a 440 Hz sine. - Fix stale test_spectool.cc: version assertion updated from 1 to SPEC_VERSION_V2_OLA (was always wrong since OLA fix landed). - Docs: TOOLS_REFERENCE.md removes dead specview, documents --wav / --normalize / test_gen. HOWTO.md adds decode section. TRACKER.md notes spec v2 OLA format and decode command. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
