R1 (2026-08-03) closes F5 — no frame-indexed wavetables yet — deferring W1 with
"yet" preserved as scope rather than rejection, and confirming W3 out. Near-term
scope narrows to W0 alone. Cascades the consequences: F1's threshold amended
(static does not mean one-cycle, so detection classifies nothing now), F2
simplified, F3 and F7 firmed, F8 narrowed to a binary. F6/band-limiting left
open and explicitly not pre-ruled. PLAN.md item 4 updated to match.
Where the instrument's loop grid, crossfade and pitch handling stop making
sense as a capture shrinks toward one cycle, and what "wavetable synth" would
mean here. Two structural results: the pre-seam crossfade is the identity map
at one-period loop lengths, and YIN cannot detect a single cycle, so the period
is declared rather than detected there. Four candidate shapes, W3 recommended
out. PLAN.md gets a pointer under "Flagged for awareness" only.
Five tracks: deferred FX park with honest undo mask and synchronous drain
before persist; narrowed mode-switch persist; master meter on its own 60 FPS
timer with dirty-rect paint; deck reflow with single-button toggles and
click-to-focus overlays; one overlay-to-waveform coordinate mapping.
Adds a hairline outline for Disabled chrome buttons, resolves Hover on the four
mode-selector single-buttons, re-measures the control-surface doc's 1.2 layout
table post-reflow, and adds a structural test pinning every enable/mode toggle
to a derived segment.
Fixes the critical finding — Browse/curve-popup no longer trigger 60 Hz
whole-client repaints when the meter is invisible. Pushes the fast-path and
self-containment geometry into master_meter with tests; batches the four minor
findings.
A switch wrote all seven ext-state keys to record that view_state moved,
re-serializing the bank book and the tracking ledger for nothing. Both entry
surfaces now take saveViewStateOnly; every other caller keeps the full save.
Eight tracks across two waves, from Daniel's seven-item list of 2026-08-03; all
six forks ruled, none open. Amends instrument-control-surface.md 6.3(d) and 6.4,
both reversed by Omega-F2.
Phase Gamma landed the instrument's master bus, a real time-stretcher, a reflowed deck, and 44 host-automatable VST3 parameters — a user-visible capability increment, which versioning-and-release.md assigns to MINOR.
Four waves, fifteen tracks. dev's Phase E/P work was merged in first and resolved on the branch; this bubble lands the combined tree. In-DAW verification still outstanding.
The per-directory CLAUDE.md count is re-derived at twenty-seven rather than
carried from either side. The "Decouple the instrument reload from VST3
activation" TODO entry does not survive: Γ-W3-T1 landed it, and COMPLETED.md
carries the discharge.
Bump the product doc's track count and list for T3; trim the header's
pre-limiter restatement now that bake_render.cpp carries it; add limiter
to the extension's not-linked enumeration.
ReleaseProof{} and copy-reuse both compiled under this project's C++17;
user-provided ctor, deleted copy ctor and friend close them. The skip now
compares stored values, not norms, so it actually fires. Abort downgraded
to a debug assert.
Both landed with accepted consequences rather than avoided ones, so COMPLETED
carries the identity move and the offline-FX degrade. Two line-ceiling entries
and the DAW-unverified GUID stability are now tracked.
The assert compiled out under Release's NDEBUG and ran in no test target.
AutomationChannel::release now requires a ReleaseProof that only
publishLiveParams() or noRepublishNeeded() can mint.
Distinguish no-GUID-at-capture from identity-no-longer-live; rewrite the drop
message to state the real recovery step; mark FX-GUID stability [verify — DAW];
guard mismatched fx/fxOffline lengths; the report never force-opens now.
view_state v2 writes identities beside the v1 slot array, so a downgrade keeps
what it had. An FX gone at restore time is dropped and reported, never restored
onto whatever took its place.
prepareLanding takes the shared collapse on the staged buffer before the hash
and the channel-count read, so hash, entry and file all derive from one buffer.
A true-stereo bake stays byte-identical.
All four are landed in full. Their narratives live in COMPLETED.md; the plan now carries only Gamma and Lambda. Cross-references and VERIFICATION.md citations repointed.
