    Bump muse_deps (#11894) Moves the muse_deps pointer to current main: - loop-tempo-estimator 0.0.5 (links pffft PRIVATE, so its include dirs no longer propagate to consumers - musescore/muse_deps#44) - prebuilt bundle deps-20260817 (jack enabled in portaudio on Linux) Note: the deps-20260817 release predates the loop-tempo-estimator bump, so its mirror lacks the 0.0.5 source tarball; the fetcher logs three failed attempts and falls back to the upstream release URL (sha-verified). The warnings disappear with the next muse_deps release. <!-- Use "x" to fill the checkboxes below like [x] --> - [x] I signed [CLA](https://www.audacityteam.org/cla/) - [x] The title of the pull request describes an issue it addresses - [x] If changes are extensive, then there is a sequence of easily reviewable commits - [x] Each commit's message describes its purpose and effects - [x] There are no behavior changes unnecessary for the stated purpose of the PR Recommended: - [x] Each commit compiles and runs on my machine without known undesirable changes of behavior QA: - [ ] Testflow test cases have been run

    Build system cleanup: explicit dependencies, wx containment, import-export libraries (#11795) Closes #10452, closes #10338 Makes the dependency graph real: every target declares what it uses with standard CMake `PUBLIC`/`PRIVATE` scoping, enforced by the compiler. - All au3 libraries link `wxBase` PRIVATE; au3wrap is the single remaining public wx conduit (removing wx from au3 headers: #11804). - All 77 au3 libraries use standard scoping; the legacy `-interface` suffix convention is retired. - Blanket API defines removed — each library exports its own `*_API=` define. Also fixes fresh-configure builds producing different definitions than incremental ones. - AU4 modules declare only direct dependencies (~190 compiler-verified entries instead of 489 hand-copied ones). - Import-export formats are per-format static libraries under `au3/modules/import-export/` (au3wrap: 84 → 15 TUs, no more rapidjson/codec links). Third-party deps stay PUBLIC where an au3 header exposes them (codecs, sbsms, pffft — #11803). - Dead `au3/modules/sharing` removed (superseded by au3-cloud-audiocom + src/au3cloud). `USE_FFMPEG` stays undefined — no runtime behavior change. Follow-ups: #11803 (third-party deps private), #11804 (wx out of au3 headers), #11805 (unity builds), #11806 (au3wrap link hygiene). All third-party wrappers now live in top-level `thirdparty/` (#10338). <!-- Use "x" to fill the checkboxes below like [x] --> - [x] I signed [CLA](https://www.audacityteam.org/cla/) - [x] The title of the pull request describes an issue it addresses - [x] If changes are extensive, then there is a sequence of easily reviewable commits - [x] Each commit's message describes its purpose and effects - [x] There are no behavior changes unnecessary for the stated purpose of the PR Recommended: - [x] Each commit compiles and runs on my machine without known undesirable changes of behavior QA: - [ ] Testflow test cases have been run
