Knob track arc, inner-dial needle, and mini velocity-trace all sat below the analytic stroker's opaque-core floor. Raised to 2px; updated visual-design-language.md and core/ui/CLAUDE.md to match; kept the 1px-behavior test, corrected its stale comment.
Guards the stroke blend against LICE_EXT_GET_SCALING, tightens the analytic-stroker's boxes and NaN handling, corrects the opaque-core threshold and inner-dial rationale in the docs, and re-derives two review-flagged tautological tests so they actually fail against the bugs they claim to catch.
Trigger's fade pair folds into the AHD (and goes live); the release anchors right;
Preserve rings its synthetic tail out instead of cutting it. Payload v10.
Params ride the one parameter set; payload v8 -> v9, off by default.
Deck composition moves to a pure deck_groups module in pitch -> filter -> amp order.
