Build step 2 of the brief: an M4L device that observes root_note /
scale_name / scale_intervals in the Live Object Model and prints the
QWERTY keys the scale maps to. No lighting yet — that is step 3.
LiveAPI only exists inside Max's js objects, so max/scale-observer.js
(plain ES5, the one uncompiled file here) observes the LOM and forwards
raw values as flat messages; src/max/device.ts resolves them, keeping
every decision in TypeScript and testable off the hardware.
Follows the Song's scale by default and the selected clip's on request,
since the brief left that decision open. scale_intervals only exists
from Live 12.1, so scale_name resolves against a table of Live's
built-ins as a fallback; reported intervals always win.
Ships a .maxpat rather than an .amxd because an .amxd has to be created
from inside Live — the README has the paste-into-a-new-device steps.
