Inline keymap/level strip drawn into REAPER's embed bitmap, reusing the LICE
idiom. Pure embed_strip layout/hit-test (tested); processor exposes the embed
interface off queryInterface and publishes an RT-safe block peak for the level.
Settled 2026-07-26: per-instance mono|stereo mode with automatic bus
negotiation (S3-core extension); ingest routes through the bank, extension-
owned, instrument stays read-only; bank-generation counter for hands-free
recapture refresh. ME + drop-target SDK limits verified; spikes flagged.
Zone editor in the IPlugView LICE surface, zoned resolution built off-thread into the
LoadedInstrument keymap with Tier-0 fallback, performance map in VST3 component state
with v1 back-compat. Pure resolve/build/serialize + geometry with CTest coverage.
Tag LoadedInstrument with installedAt; process() publishes that field (not a re-read
of reloadGeneration_) so the pruner's displacedAt <= seen bound is airtight. Also fixes
sampleRowHitTest canvas.bottom over-read and adds interleave-stride + canvas-clip tests.
REAPER-free and VST3-free voice engine with bounded stealing, ADSR
envelope, key/velocity keymap resolution, and repitch from root note
with loop-point sustain. Test target links neither SDK.
Vendor Steinberg VST3 SDK (v3.7.9_build_61); add reasampler_vst.vst3 as a second, additive build artifact with pure editor-geometry + bridge-marshal helpers under CTest.
Daniel (2026-07-27): the S18 beta channel title band gets no distinct
visual accent; L3 restyles it in the standard B pastel palette and the
beta-vs-stable distinction stays purely textual. Closes the one open fork
from the L3 readiness review.
Both VST draw shells still draw flat off a local pre-L1 palette — L3
restyle confirmed live, not a born-in-kit no-op. Name the concrete gate
files, add the palette-reconcile point, enumerate the landed editor set.
computeSlotRectsForDrop adds cols slots past maxSlot; classifyCardDrag and
drawCardDropTarget use it instead of the render rects. doReorderDrop already
accepts any non-negative slot. New tests cover beyond-extent resolves,
empty-bank trailing row, gap pixels still miss, empty-cell within-extent works.
Render the grid in sparse SlotMap order with empty-slot cells; remap every
cell↔sample consumer (selection, nav, audition, drag) to occupied-ordinal
space. Drop dispatches reorder/replace/move/copy via card_drag; per-slot
highlight + stock cursor cues. One drop = one Ctrl-Z.
Button faces now show only the short label (keybinding moved to hover tooltip as
"name — binding"). Cancel RT joins the overflow menu alongside Capture RT. Re-capture
sits between the capture and placement clusters. Toolbar heights 40->28.
Top-bar rare-capture variants move to a right-anchored More popup; short faces gain
hover-delay full-name tooltips (prefix stripped); bottom bar becomes four opposite-mode
Item/Track tag buttons + Show Both (Toggle/Activates dropped); wider cluster gaps. New
pure overflow_menu/mode_enable/tooltip modules, CTest-covered. Same actions, same contract.
Top-toolbar overflow menu for rare capture variants; short button faces + full-name tooltips (drop ReaSampler: prefix); Item/Track x Arrange/Design tag buttons enabled only for the opposite of active mode; remove redundant Toggle; semantic-grouping spacing. Item-level tagging confirmed existing — layout wiring, not feature work. Ungated; sequences after L4; L3 gate intact.
Top toolbar = capture+placement, bottom toolbar = Design-View verbs, footer = narrow Arrange|Design toggle + count + Tail button + set-apart Prune. New pure footer_bar module; Tail is now a real kit button.
