Add soundDebug flag to control spatial audio logging

[tracygardner]

Summary

Added a soundDebug configuration flag to the flock object to conditionally control debug logging in the spatial audio system. This allows developers to enable/disable verbose spatial audio debug output without modifying code.

Key Changes

• Added soundDebug: false flag to flock configuration in flock.js
• Wrapped all spatial audio debug console.log() and console.warn() calls with if (flock.soundDebug) checks in api/sound.js
• Updated the throttled debug info logging to also respect the soundDebug flag

Implementation Details

• The soundDebug flag defaults to false to keep production logging clean
• All 8 debug logging statements in the setupSpatialSpeech() method and its cleanup function are now gated behind the flag
• The throttled debug output (1% chance per frame) also respects the flag, preventing unnecessary console spam during development
• This provides a clean way to toggle spatial audio debugging without code changes

A new soundDebug boolean flag is introduced to the flock configuration object, and multiple console logging statements in the sound module are conditionally gated behind this flag to control debug output visibility without altering audio functionality.

Poem

🐰 A flag hops in to guard the logs,
No sound unheard, no debug fog!
With soundDebug we now decide,
Which whispers show and which must hide. 🔇
