0.2.6-dev: port PR #416 by Cromemadnd — at every round start the own board's pieces replay their Start clip and landing sound one after another in deployment order (the maintainer's confirmation from official play, 2026-10-13), and a purchase or a move onto / across the board plays them too ([ASSUMED], the PR author's account); one sound per landing, idle prep pieces only, the round marked once the view took the sequence, own board only, timers cleared when prep mode ends and on destroy; DESIGN §31.8; golden: unchanged
