Replace the single electric-cyan accent with a pastel lime/teal/purple three-accent system; shift neutral surfaces + text from near-black to REAPER's mid-grey theme family. Font upgrade declined (no bundling). L3 conformed to the new look; gate intact.
Port visual-design-language.md to dev with DS-1/2/3 settled (B + spectral
strip; LICE + WDL free game; thorough M11-aware panel layout). L1 shared
kit; L2 panel redesign after M11 merges; L3 VST restyle gated on Phase S
landing. Phase S adopts the kit when it lands — not gated.
Adds the two missing removal capabilities: sample-level remove (Phase B
point B5, index-only) and the prune file-lifecycle path (new Phase R, the
sole file-deleting op), resolving the dangling capture/prune reference.
Adds CONTEXT.md spec, PLAN.md points, and a product note; surfaces forks
R-A..R-E for decision.
Update CONTEXT.md capture sections to two FX scopes (item/track,
chain-independent, no master, always wet): build-order step 7, offline/realtime
render API surface, the capture module sketch, and mark the realtime
wet-master-routing open question resolved (track-tap).
Item-level mode separation via REAPER fixed lanes; new content auto-tags to
the active mode; inactive lanes hidden and silenced; a managed-vs-manual lane
index keeps toggles off user comp lanes; capture placement mode-aware.
Precision invariants unaffected; REAPER 7 floor.
Reconcile-on-delete shipped; narrow the remaining deferrals to the FX-GUID
keying hazard and dormant-membership compaction. Drop the resolved
snapshot-durability question.
5a: named-banks tab strip is LICE-drawn (matching M5 grid + Design View
segmented switch), with overflow/scroll in scope from B4 start.
5b: move ships as both a bindable "move to bank" menu and drag-between-regions;
copy stays the deliberate secondary act. Drag mis-drop mitigated by drop-target
highlighting and recoverable by design (index-only, reversible).
Phase B now fully settled (all five forks resolved), ready to scope into
implementation waves; only the active-bank indicator placement polish remains.
Fold Daniel's decisions into CONTEXT.md, PLAN.md, and the product notes:
- Fork 1 (persistence): pool folds into the `banks` blob; legacy
`bank_index` key retired after a one-way lossless migration.
- Fork 2 (delete): delete drops member index entries; add an `evacuate`
verb (B1 pure op + B3 action) returning members to the pool. Design the
orphaned-until-prune window and confirm-on-non-empty-delete guardrail.
- Fork 3 (move): move is the default gesture, copy the deliberate secondary.
- Fork 4 (active bank): active-bank and shown-tab stay distinct; the
active-bank indicator must be visually unmistakable.
Fork 5 (tab rendering + move affordance) remains open with an options
analysis and pending recommendations. Additive; M0-M11 and Phase D untouched.
Add the multi-bank pillar as Phase B (lettered, parallel to M-line and
Phase D): CONTEXT.md §Multi-bank spec, PLAN.md Phase B block (B1 bank_book
pure / B2 persist / B3 actions / B4 panel split), and docs/product/multi-bank.md
framing. Additive only — BankIndex, the M0–M11 roadmap, and Phase D untouched.
