hashWavContent walks RIFF chunks and feeds only fmt body + data payload
through FNV-1a ('W' domain-separation prefix), skipping bext/iXML/LIST that
REAPER embeds with per-render origination timestamps. Fallback to whole-file
hashBytes for non-WAV. Wired into both capture commit paths.
Legacy entries keep their stored whole-file hash; a re-capture will not
collapse onto a pre-fix entry -- a one-time clean capture resolves it.
contentHash was left empty on every capture; hashReferencedElsewhere returns
false for empty hashes, so every remove looked like a last reference. Add
FNV-1a hashBytes to capture_paths, wire into both commit paths. NOTE: this
activates index dedup-by-hash in production — a bit-identical re-capture now
collapses onto the existing entry instead of adding a duplicate (spec-intended).
Strip ShowConsoleMsg from all normal-success paths (loaded, captured, bank
create/rename/delete/evacuate/activate, realtime started, insert ok, transfer
summary). Remove dead REAPERAPI_WANT_ShowConsoleMsg in capture.cpp.
Error/failure/malformed-data paths and modal confirms untouched.
Add TailMode{None,Auto,Manual} + derived -72dB TRIMEND + 8s cap in render_settings;
wire into OfflineRenderBackend with snapshot/restore of the tail settings; add
CAPTURE_ITEM_TAIL/CAPTURE_TRACK_TAIL variant actions (plain actions stay exact-bounds).
Replace the four capture modes with item/track/master scope actions. Each infers
its range (razor-else-time) and enforces FX scope via non-destructive
FX-bypass-around-render (RAII I_FXEN snapshot/restore over ancestors + master).
Corrects the defect of items captured through parent FX.
Four wet capture actions route to OfflineRenderBackend (snapshot/restore
RENDER_*, 32-bit float), produce a Sample, add to the bank, persist. Pure
render_settings maps source mode to RENDER_SETTINGS and parses P_RAZOREDITS
(tested). No arrange insertion. True dry deferred to M10.
GetProjectPathEx returns REAPER's recording path (never empty); EnumProjects
returns the .rpp path (empty when unsaved) — the correct signal. Bank now
derives from the .rpp parent so it sits alongside the project file. Render
progress window documented as inherent to REAPER offline render.
RENDER_FORMAT now uses the base64 float-WAV config (raw bytes were rejected
into a 16-bit/44.1 fallback); RENDER_SRATE pinned to the project rate.
Unsaved projects prompt Save then refuse if cancelled — no default-location
fallback. Harden deriveBankPaths against empty projectDir.
ICaptureBackend/CaptureRequest seam + OfflineRenderBackend driving snapshotted
RENDER_* with dither/normalize forced off for bit-identical output, RenderFailed
via filesystem check, and a pure capture_paths lib with tests. Spike action registered.
