Three first-visit bugs caught by a new Playwright suite (5 tests, real Chrome, demo stack):

Dashboard entrance oomph was always silent — the login→dashboard route change closes the AudioContext (stopAllAudio) and playDashboardLoadOomph only fetched the dead context; it now recreates one on the login click's sticky activation.
Direct /login load hijacked into the splash — App.vue read route.path before the router resolved the initial navigation, so deep-route boots looked like root boots; the splash decision now reads window.location.pathname.
Replayed intros ran mute + intro shortcut exits skipped the finale — enableCinematicSounds override, archy_onboarding_finale armed on both exits.

Also from this branch (efd1ae41): splash always honors App's decision; intro video re-encoded 3x lighter with detached

Verified: 5/5 e2e, 673/673 unit, vue-tsc clean.

fix(intro): audible entrance oomph, splash off deep routes, finale on intro shortcuts — with e2e cinematic suite a44cbe478a

Three first-visit-experience bugs, all caught by the new e2e suite
(e2e/intro-experience.spec.ts — 5 tests against the demo stack on real
Chrome, instrumenting HTMLMediaElement/WebAudio/MutationObserver since
headless can't hear or see the cinematic):

- playDashboardLoadOomph was always silent: the login→dashboard route
  change closes the AudioContext (stopAllAudio), and the oomph only
  fetched the dead context. It now recreates one, riding the login
  click's sticky user activation.
- A direct /login load in the demo hijacked into the splash: App.vue
  read route.path before the router resolved the initial navigation, so
  every deep-route boot looked like a root boot. The splash decision now
  reads window.location.pathname.
- Replayed intros ran mute (enableCinematicSounds override) and the
  intro's shortcut exits skipped the dashboard finale (flag now armed on
  both demo and login exits).

Verified: 5/5 e2e, 673/673 unit, vue-tsc clean.
