fix: Haar [0.25,0.5,0.25] exact + cascade w=0.015, VLAW sens keep, second-peak check

- fn529fe0: Haar one-pass now exact 3-tap [0.25,0.5,0.25] via tmp copy (was in-place two-loop shortcut not bit-exact per BLOCKMAP 24mm14)
- cascade w scalar 0.015 best-fit (rms 0.30) vs per-bin 0.084 (Haar error), not ctx-derived 1.33
- framed_model: VLAW sens 12 keep (dual group), remove debug fprintf and spurious RT_FIRCONV power on raw_level
- test fix: restored dual_b1q_0.5.wav 1ch16->2ch24 (hazard rendersnap2), corpus TOTAL 1.594 again
