"""Generate PeerSpeak's default notification chimes as small mono 16-bit WAVs.
Stdlib only (wave/struct/math) so there's no build-time dependency. Re-run to
regenerate the committed assets:
python3 assets/sounds/generate_chimes.py
Each chime is a short sequence of sine notes with a soft attack (no click) and
an exponential decay (a gentle bell-like tail), plus a quiet second harmonic so
it reads as a "chime" rather than a flat beep. Distinct melodic shapes make the
events recognizable without looking: ascending = arrival, descending = leaving.
