- Linked-stereo brick-wall: gain is shared across all input channels per sample, so a transient on one channel attenuates every channel identically — the stereo image stays phase-coherent.
|

- Zero-lookahead attack: when `|peak| > ceilingLin` at sample `i`, the gain at sample `i` is set to `ceilingLin / |peak|` *before* writing the output, so the ceiling is a hard contract verifiable by audit.

- One-pole release: `gain += releaseCoef · (1 − gain)` per sample with `releaseCoef = 1 − exp(-1/(τ · sr))`.
|

- `gainReductionDb` is updated once per block with the worst-case in-block reduction so meters get a useful peak reading without per-sample state.

- `getGainReductionDb()` accessor mirrors the parameter for low-friction metering.

The limiter is intentionally a true brick-wall, not a "soft" or "transparent" limiter. We do not interpolate around the threshold or apply a knee. The reason: many use sites layer this plugin downstream of an output-stage compressor that already provides knee shaping, and rely on the limiter for guaranteed bound semantics. Adding a knee would weaken the contract that the test in `output peak never exceeds the configured ceiling` enforces.

There is no lookahead buffer. That keeps the plugin latency-free (`latencySamples: 0`, inherited default) and makes the bound testable by static inspection of the inner loop: at sample `i`, if `peak > ceilingLin` then `gain := ceilingLin / peak` *before* `output[ch][i] = input[ch][i] * gain`. The multiplication therefore can produce at most `|input[ch][i]| * (ceilingLin / |peak|) ≤ ceilingLin`. The downside is that an unusually fast transient (single-sample spike at a very low source sample rate) can produce visible distortion on its leading edge — for those cases a future `LookaheadLimiterPlugin` can sit on a separate subpath without breaking this contract.

`gainReductionDb` is reported as a per-block peak rather than a running average. Meters typically expect peak; if a future surface wants RMS, it can compute that from the gain-reduction stream by subscribing to a parameter automation channel. The release coefficient is recomputed every block from the current `release` parameter so automation works without introducing zipper noise — the one-pole step is small per sample even when the parameter changes mid-block.
