# COMPLETED.md — ReaSampler landed milestones

Completed milestone entries removed from `PLAN.md`. Each entry preserves its
original Goal, Verify, and checklist points with boxes marked done.

---

## Milestone 0 — Transition scaffold: reaper_mpeview → ReaSampler
**Goal:** Retire the MPE scaffold and stand up the sampler's pure core in its
place, preserving the pure-core / REAPER-shell split.
**Verify:** `cmake -B build -S .` configures clean; `cmake --build build` builds
the renamed extension target and the pure-core test target; `ctest --test-dir
build` is green with the new `bank_model` + `peaks` suites present.

- [x] Delete `src/mpe_model.{h,cpp}` and `src/mpe_view.{h,cpp}`; remove
  `tests/test_mpe_model.cpp`.
- [x] Rename the CMake `project()` and the extension MODULE target from
  `reaper_mpeview` to `reaper_reasampler` (binary `OUTPUT_NAME` likewise);
  update `PREFIX ""` / platform SUFFIX blocks to the new target name.
- [x] Replace the pure `mpe_model` static lib + `mpe_model_tests` executable with
  `bank_model` (pure static lib) + `bank_model_tests`; keep the CTest wiring.
- [x] Repoint `src/main.cpp`: drop the `mpe_view.h` include and all `MpeView_*`
  calls (toggle / IsOpen / OnTimer / Cleanup); stub the extension entry so it
  loads, logs to console, and registers nothing MPE-specific. The
  `command_id` / `gaccel` / `hookcommand` registration *pattern* is preserved for
  reuse (CLAUDE.md §REAPER extension contract) — the MPE action string is removed.
- [x] Choose and record the persistent action-id prefix for the sampler family
  (replaces `CEREBELLUM_MPEVIEW_TOGGLE`); this string is forever-stable once
  shipped (CLAUDE.md §action registration).
- [x] Refresh `README.md` layout/next-step sections to the sampler module set.
  (Landed-work reflection is doc-keeper's; this point exists so the stale MPE
  README does not mislead the first implementer.)

---

## Milestone 1 — bank_model + JSON round-trip (pure)
**Goal:** The `Sample` metadata struct and `BankIndex` (add / remove / query /
tier moves / dedup-by-hash) with JSON serialize/deserialize to `std::string`.
CONTEXT.md §Data model, §Module architecture.
**Verify:** CTest green. Round-trip is lossless (deserialize(serialize(x)) == x)
across all fields; dedup-by-hash and tier filtering asserted; **relative paths
only** invariant enforced at the model boundary (no absolute path accepted/stored).

- [x] Define `Sample` with the full field set (id, display name, relative path,
  source mode, source range in project time + PPQ, track GUID(s), wet/dry,
  channels, SR, length sec + beats, capture tempo, optional key, peak/RMS/LUFS,
  clip flag, tier, content hash, provenance, created ts). CONTEXT.md §Data model.
- [x] `BankIndex`: ordered collection keyed by id; add / remove / query.
- [x] Hash lookup for dedup-by-content-hash.
- [x] Tier model (scratch | archive) + tier-move + tier filtering; scratch marked
  auto-prunable.
- [x] JSON serialize/deserialize to/from `std::string`.
- [x] Tests: full-field round-trip lossless; dedup collapses equal-hash adds;
  tier filter/move correct; relative-path invariant rejects absolute paths;
  empty-index and malformed-JSON edge cases.

---

## Milestone 2 — peaks (pure)
**Goal:** Compute waveform min/max bins from raw PCM, dependency-free (not
REAPER's peak API). CONTEXT.md §Module architecture, §Non-goals.
**Verify:** CTest green. Fed a known signal (full-scale sine, ramp), asserted
min/max envelope per bin matches expected within tolerance; channel count
preserved; bin count honored for arbitrary sample lengths (incl. remainder bin).

- [x] Min/max bin computation from interleaved PCM given a target bin count.
- [x] Multi-channel handling (per-channel envelope; no silent fold).
- [x] Tests: sine envelope ≈ ±amplitude; ramp envelope monotonic; DC/silence →
  zero envelope; short-buffer and non-divisible-length edge cases.

---

## Milestone 3 — Offline capture spike (REAPER shell)
**Goal:** Offline-render the time-selection master mix to a wav in the project
bank folder, add a `Sample`, log it. The render-driving spike. CONTEXT.md
§REAPER API surface (offline render), Build order 3.
**Verify (in DAW):** Render runs via `Main_OnCommand(42230)` ("Render using most
recent settings") — REAPER always shows its offline-render progress window; no
stock/header-documented fully-headless path exists. File lands in the
project-relative bank folder at **32-bit float WAV** at project rate (lossless,
dither-free → enables bit-identical/null-test). A `Sample` is added to the
in-memory `BankIndex`. Non-destructive. Unsaved-project state triggers a
Save-As prompt; capture is refused if the user cancels (no default-location
fallback).
**Bit-identical repeats:** two identical requests produce byte-identical files.
**Exact bounds:** rendered length matches the requested range (no rounding, no
added silence without an explicit tail).

- [x] `ICaptureBackend` interface + `CaptureRequest` (source mode, time range,
  wet/dry, tail, SR/bit-depth/channels, output path). CONTEXT.md §capture.
- [x] `OfflineRenderBackend`: drive `GetSetProjectInfo` render settings +
  `GetSetProjectInfo_String` file/pattern/format; **verify every flag against
  `vendor/reaper-sdk/sdk/reaper_plugin_functions.h`.**
- [x] Resolve the no-dialog render command/flag on the current REAPER build
  (open question) and confirm it runs headless.
- [x] Populate a `Sample` from the finished file; hand to `bank_model`; console-log.
- [x] Verify bit-identical repeats and exact-bounds by hand on a known range.

---

## Milestone 4 — persist (index ↔ project ext state)
**Goal:** Write the `BankIndex` JSON to project ext state, reload on project open;
project-relative path resolution. CONTEXT.md §persist, §Persistence & paths.
**Verify (in DAW):** Index survives Save / Save As / close+reopen; **bank travels
with the .rpp**; **relative paths only** in the persisted index (Save As to a new
folder still resolves the bank).

- [x] `SetProjExtState` / `GetProjExtState` under namespace `"reasampler"`.
- [x] Bank-folder resolution from the current project path
  (`EnumProjects` / `GetProjectPathEx`); store under a project-relative subfolder.
- [x] Reload-on-open; confirm survival across Save / Save As.

**Notes/decisions:**
- Storage: `SetProjExtState` / `GetProjExtState`, namespace `"reasampler"`, keys `bank_index` (serialized JSON) and `project_guid`; relative paths only in the persisted index.
- Project identity: keyed off a **minted GUID** stored in ext state (REAPER exposes no native per-project GUID), not the raw `ReaProject*` — a recycled pointer cannot misread a project switch as a Save-As.
- Save-As: **copy** semantics (Daniel's decision) — the `reasampler_bank/` folder is copied under the new `.rpp`; the old project's bank stays intact. Every ext-state write calls `MarkProjectDirty` so captures/GUID changes flush on the normal save.
- Save-As collision — fixed (DAW-verified): project identity is **GUID-primary** — the stored per-project GUID is the identity of record; a different stored GUID always means a different project (Load its bank), immune to REAPER recycling `ReaProject*` addresses across close/open. The `ReaProject*` pointer is a secondary signal that disambiguates the same-GUID case only: a different object with the same GUID = a Save-As fork (Load + re-GUID to diverge); the same object with the same GUID + a new path = a genuine Save-As in progress (relocate bank). This replaced two earlier iterations: GUID-only (mis-detected forks sharing a copied GUID) and pointer-primary (mis-detected reopen/new-project because it ignored the GUID on address recycling). Non-destructive preserved.

---

## Milestone 5 — bank_panel (docked grid)
**Goal:** Docked LICE-drawn grid: thumbnails (from `peaks`), audition,
multi-select, keyboard navigation. Reuses the docking setup from the retired
`mpe_view.cpp`. CONTEXT.md §bank_panel.
**Verify (in DAW):** Grid docks; thumbnails render from computed peaks; audition
plays selected sample; multi-select + keyboard nav work.

- [x] Docked window + LICE grid render loop.
- [x] Thumbnail draw from `peaks` bins.
- [x] Audition (play selected sample) + stop.
- [x] Multi-select + keyboard navigation.

**Notes/decisions:**
- Thumbnail cache: in-memory recompute keyed by `(sampleId, drawWidth, bankGeneration)`; peak bins are NOT persisted alongside the index. Cache is discarded on bank change and rebuilt on next draw. (Closes the PLAN "thumbnail cache" open question.)
- Audition: stock `PlayPreview` / `StopPreview` API, read-only — display + select + audition only, never inserts into the arrange. Single stop-funnel ensures a leak-free preview lifecycle. Flagged undocumented assumption: `StopPreview` detaches the source before returning; mitigated by the single-funnel design. Escalation path if a runtime pop appears: switch to `StartPreviewFade` + deferred free.

---

## Milestone 6 — insert (placement)
**Goal:** "Insert selected sample at edit cursor" via `InsertMedia`. CONTEXT.md
§insert, Build order 6.
**Verify (in DAW):** Selected sample inserts at the edit cursor wrapped in
`Undo_BeginBlock2` / `Undo_EndBlock2`; conform-to-tempo is an explicit flag —
**no silent time-stretch** when off.

- [x] `InsertMedia(path, mode)` at edit cursor (verify mode bits against SDK).
- [x] Conform-to-project-tempo vs literal as an explicit flag (never silent).
- [x] Undo-block wrapping.

**Notes/decisions:**
- Placement target: inserts the focused bank sample onto the **currently selected track(s) at the edit cursor** (Daniel's directive — not a new track). Uses `InsertMedia` base mode 0; for multiple selected tracks the sample is placed on each at the same cursor position, then the original track selection and edit-cursor position are restored — non-destructive to editing state. The entire operation is one undo block.
- No silent time-stretch: the `&4` stretch-to-time-selection bit is never set; a pure `insert_plan` test asserts this across all mode combinations. Conform-to-project-tempo is an explicit separate action (`&8`), never on the default path.
- Non-destructive to the bank: insert only adds arrange items — no bank/file/ext-state writes.

---

## D1 — view_mode_model (pure)
**Goal:** REAPER-free mode registry + membership index + folder-tree-aware
visibility derivation + parking/restore planner + JSON round-trip. The heart of the
phase; mirror of `bank_model`. CONTEXT.md §Design View (Module architecture — pure).
**Verify:** CTest green. N-mode model (not a boolean); Arrange + Design seeded.
Restore-planner round-trip (snapshot → park → restore) returns every driven flag to
its captured value. Parent-derivation correct against a supplied folder tree.
JSON round-trip lossless across modes + membership + show-both + snapshots + active
mode.

- [x] Mode registry: ordered (id, display name, ordinal); Arrange + Design seeded;
  add/query more modes (prove N-mode, not binary).
- [x] Membership index: `GUID → { mode ids }` + per-track show-both flag;
  add / remove / retag / query; untagged = Arrange.
- [x] Folder-tree-aware visibility derivation: given a supplied parent↔child tree +
  active mode, compute the visible set (active leaves, derived-visible parents,
  show-both leaves, master always in).
- [x] Parking/restore planner: emit exact (track, flag, value) op-lists for park and
  restore from active mode + snapshot record.
- [x] JSON round-trip: modes + membership + show-both + snapshots + active mode.
- [x] Tests: N-mode add/query; parent follows tagged leaf (multi-mode parent);
  restore-round-trip returns snapshot values (never hardcoded "on"); show-both leaf
  never parked; unknown/stale GUID tolerated; JSON lossless.

---

## D2 — view shell (apply flags in the DAW)
**Goal:** Read the folder tree and drive REAPER flags per the planner.
CONTEXT.md §Design View (view shell, REAPER API surface).
**Verify (in DAW):** Toggling active mode hides + parks inactive leaves
(`B_SHOWINTCP`/`B_SHOWINMIXER`/`B_MAINSEND`/`I_FXEN` + per-FX offline) and restores
active ones from snapshot. **Master untouched. `B_MUTE`/`I_SOLO` untouched.**
Untagged tracks untouched. Parents follow their tagged descendants.

- [x] Build parent↔child tree from `I_FOLDERDEPTH`; feed to `view_mode_model`.
- [x] Snapshot prior flag values (`GetMediaTrackInfo_Value`) before parking.
- [x] Apply park/restore ops (`SetMediaTrackInfo_Value` for the four flags;
  `TrackFX_GetCount` + per-FX `TrackFX_SetOffline`). Verify flag names/signatures.
- [x] GUID resolution: `GetTrackGUID` / `guidToString` / `stringToGuid` (never index).
- [x] Review gate: no path touches master visibility or `B_MUTE`/`I_SOLO`, or any
  untagged track's owned flags.

---

## D3 — persist slice (view state ↔ project ext state)
**Goal:** Serialize the view section into the `"reasampler"` namespace alongside the
bank; reapply the active mode on project open. CONTEXT.md §Design View (persist).
**Verify (in DAW):** Membership + active mode + snapshots survive Save / Save As /
close+reopen; on open, the active mode's visibility + processing is reapplied.
Saved-while-parked project restores parked tracks from persisted snapshots (not to a
guessed "on").

- [x] Serialize/deserialize the view section under `"reasampler"` (shared blob,
  distinct section from the bank index).
- [x] Reapply active mode on project open (rebuild tree, run the planner).
- [x] Confirm survival across Save / Save As; snapshot durability across
  save-while-parked.

---

## D4 — actions
**Goal:** Bindable action set for the mode workflow. CONTEXT.md §Design View
(actions). **Verify (in DAW):** Each action registered (bindable in Actions list);
toggle + mode-jumps MIDI-bindable; tag/untag acts on the current track selection.

- [x] Toggle active mode (cycle; extensible to cycle-all for >2 modes).
- [x] Activate mode: Arrange / Activate mode: Design (direct jumps).
- [x] Tag selected tracks → Design / → Arrange; Untag selected (= → Arrange).
- [x] Show-both for selected tracks (toggle).
- [x] Register each (`command_id`/`gaccel`/`hookcommand`); toggle + jumps MIDI-bindable.

**Notes/decisions:**
- New `src/actions.{h,cpp}` — the Design View action family registered via the
  `command_id`/`gaccel`/`hookcommand` contract in `main.cpp`; MIDI-bindable.
- New `src/track_guid.{h,cpp}` — shared `MediaTrack*` → canonical GUID-string
  formatter; used by both the view shell and the actions layer (single source of
  truth for membership keys).
- Wiring: actions drive the D2 view shell and D3-persisted model; saved active mode
  is reapplied on project load via a load-signal seam in `persist` (`loadFromProject`
  raises it; `main.cpp`'s timer drains it) — `persist` stays model-only.
- A pure `nextModeId` free function added to `view_mode_model` (the N-mode cycle
  decision behind "toggle"), unit-tested in the existing `view_mode_model_tests`.

---

## D5 — in-window toggle affordance (UI)
**Goal:** The segmented mode switch in the ReaSampler / bank_panel window header.
CONTEXT.md §Design View (UI). **Verify (in DAW):** Segmented control shows current
mode (lit segment), one click flips modes via the D4 toggle action, per-mode
membership count visible, offlined-FX caveat surfaced as a tooltip.

- [x] Segmented mode switch `[ Arrange | Design ]` in the window header; active lit.
- [x] Wire the switch to the toggle/activate actions from D4.
- [x] Per-mode membership count display.
- [x] Offlined-FX re-init caveat as a tooltip on the switch.

**Notes/decisions:**
- New PURE module `src/mode_switch.{h,cpp}` — REAPER-free layout math for the
  Design View mode switch: divides a header rectangle into N equal segments (one per
  registered mode) and hit-tests a point to a segment. Unit-tested via a new
  `mode_switch_tests` CTest target. Mirror of `bank_grid`.
- `src/bank_panel.cpp` — segmented `[ Arrange | Design ]` control drawn in the panel
  header (one lit segment per registered mode, click activates that mode via
  `view::applyMode`), with the grid offset below the header.

---

## D2-W1 — view_mode_model lane extension (pure)
**Goal:** Extend D1's pure planner to item level for the two-canvas sub-phase:
lane↔mode mapping, a managed-vs-manual lane-ownership index, managed-only item-lane
ops in the toggle planner, the "which lanes may this toggle touch" query, the
auto-tag decision (manual-lane items exempt; pre-existing ⇒ Arrange), and JSON
round-trip of the lane index. REAPER-free, unit-tested; mirror of D1. CONTEXT.md
§Two-canvas sub-phase (Module architecture — pure).
**Verify:** CTest green; D1 behavior and tests unchanged.

- [x] Lane↔mode mapping: which lane maps to which mode, which `C_LANEPLAYS` value
  per mode.
- [x] Lane-ownership index: per (track GUID, lane) managed-which-mode vs manual;
  managed-only item-lane op family alongside the existing track-flag op family.
- [x] "Which lanes may this toggle touch" query (managed only) — planner emits lane
  ops for managed lanes only, never for manual lanes.
- [x] Auto-tag decision (pure): new track/item GUIDs + active mode ⇒ membership
  writes; manual-lane items exempt; pre-existing ⇒ Arrange.
- [x] JSON round-trip of the lane-ownership index.
- [x] Tests: managed/manual partition; toggle-touches-managed-only; auto-tag
  exemption for manual-lane items; JSON lossless; D1 behavior/tests unchanged.

---

## D2-W2 — shell: lane application + new-content detection
**Goal:** The view shell applies the planner's managed-lane ops in the DAW and the
bank_panel timer detects new content and auto-tags it to the active mode. Resolves
the two flagged implementation design points (I_FIXEDLANE reorder/renumber
fragility; the auto-tag / manual-lane detection heuristic). See CONTEXT.md
§Two-canvas sub-phase (Module architecture — shell; New-content detection).
**Verify (in DAW):** Toggling a mode shows + plays only the active mode's managed
lane, hides + silences the inactive-mode lane, and **never touches a manual lane**
(its `C_LANEPLAYS` stays exactly as the user set it); new content created while a
mode is active is tagged to that mode; pre-existing content stays Arrange (no
mass-tag on the first poll after open).
**Depends on:** D2-W1.

- [x] Apply managed-lane ops in the view shell (`I_FREEMODE`/`I_FIXEDLANE`/
  `C_LANEPLAYS`/`B_FIXEDLANE_HIDDEN` via the item/track info setters;
  `UpdateTimeline()` after `I_FREEMODE`); **managed lanes only, never manual**.
  Verify every flag name/signature against the SDK header.
- [x] New-content detection on the bank_panel timer: diff the live track/item GUID
  set against the previous poll; tag any GUID new since the last poll to the
  then-active mode, with a **first-poll-after-open guard** (pre-existing ⇒ Arrange,
  no mass-tag) and the **manual-lane exemption** (items in a manual lane not tagged).
- [x] Resolve the manual-lane detection heuristic (which new items are exempt) and
  the `I_FIXEDLANE` lane-identity fragility (index survival across lane
  reorder/renumber/deletion) — the two open design points from CONTEXT.md.
- [x] D2-W1 review polish: document the one-managed-lane-per-mode-per-track
  exclusivity assumption in `laneModeState` (comment / debug-guard); clarify the
  `serialize()` one-line style note; optional round-trip tests for the
  last-writer-wins lane-replace contract.

**Notes/decisions:**
- Two new pure modules added with unit tests: `guid_diff` (diffs live track/item
  GUID sets between polls) and `lane_keys` (manages lane identity via durable
  `P_LANENAME` rather than the renumber-prone `I_FIXEDLANE` ordinal, reconciled each
  apply — the resolution to the lane-identity fragility design point). CTest green.
- **Manual-lane protection:** a single pure predicate `isOnManualLane` is the
  exclusive gate; manual lanes — including REAPER's default unnamed fixed lanes —
  are provably never driven or auto-tagged.
- **Track-level auto-tag and park behavior is live.** Item-lane show/hide is
  correctly structured but is a provable no-op on real projects until D2-W3 mints
  the `reasampler:`-prefixed named lanes. End-to-end DAW verification of item-lane
  show/hide is sequenced after D2-W3 for this reason.
- W1 review polish was folded in during this wave.

---

## Milestone 7 — capture action family
**Goal:** Bindable capture actions for master / selected tracks / selected items /
razor area, each with wet-dry + tail options. CONTEXT.md §actions, Build order 7.
**Verify (in DAW):** Each action registered (bindable in Actions list), routes to
the offline backend, and honors wet/dry + tail. **Load-bearing principle:** none
auto-inserts into the arrange.

- [x] Source resolvers: master mix, selected tracks, selected items, razor area
  (`GetSet_LoopTimeRange`, `P_RAZOREDITS`, `CountSelectedMediaItems`, etc.).
- [x] Register each as a bindable action (`command_id`/`gaccel`/`hookcommand`).
- [x] Wet-dry + tail options per action.
- [x] Review gate: confirm no capture path touches the timeline.

**Notes/decisions:**
- Four **wet** bindable capture actions — master mix, selected tracks, selected items, razor area — registered under the `CEREBELLUM_REASAMPLER_CAPTURE_*` command-id prefix. Each routes to `OfflineRenderBackend` (RENDER_* snapshot/restore, dither/normalize off, 32-bit float), produces a `Sample`, adds it to the bank, persists, and calls `MarkProjectDirty`. The M3 spike action was retired.
- **Wet-only decision (Daniel):** REAPER offline render has no true pre-FX "dry" bit — the only wet/dry-adjacent lever (`&8192` pre-fader stems) is post-FX. Approximate-dry action variants were removed rather than ship a "dry" that isn't. `CaptureRequest.wetDry` is retained as the seam for true dry (M10).
- Pure `render_settings` module maps source mode → RENDER_SETTINGS bits and parses `P_RAZOREDITS` (union of track-audio areas), unit-tested. No capture path inserts into the arrange (load-bearing gate); non-destructive (selection/razor read-only).

**Superseded / reworked (post-landing):**
- The four wet source-mode actions (master/tracks/items/razor) were replaced by **three FX-scope actions** — `capture item`, `capture track`, `capture master` — with range (razor-else-time-selection) inferred orthogonally. This fixed the defect where item captures were rendered through the parent FX chain.
- **FX-scope semantics (initial rework):** item = item/take FX only; track = item FX + the selected track's own track FX; master = full chain. For item/track, the out-of-scope chain (ancestors + master, plus the item's own track for item scope) is neutralized during the render.
- **Master scope subsequently removed:** capture is now **two scopes — item and track only**. `CAPTURE_MASTER` and `CAPTURE_MASTER_REALTIME` are retired (to capture the master, render a track instead). The master track is still neutralized as out-of-scope chain for both item and track captures; it is a bypass target, not a capture scope. The realtime backend taps the selected track (track scope only; item realtime deferred).
- **`FxBypassGuard` (RAII):** snapshot → neutralize (FX bypassed via `I_FXEN`; gain zeroed via `D_VOL`; pan/width/pan-law/mode set to unity via `D_PAN`/`D_WIDTH`/`D_PANLAW`/`I_PANMODE`) → render → restore. Non-destructive. This guard is the reusable mechanism M8 (realtime backend) and M10 (null-test / true dry) build on.

---

## Milestone 8 — RealtimeRecordBackend
**Goal:** Realtime record behind the same `ICaptureBackend`, producing identical
bank entries. CONTEXT.md §capture (realtime), §Precision invariants.
**Verify (in DAW):** Hidden temp track taps each selected track's own post-fader
output via a `CreateTrackSend`; recorded file moves into the bank; **non-destructive**
— temp track (and its sends) removed cleanly, every snapshotted track arm, time
selection, and edit cursor restored unchanged on every terminal path.

- [x] Track-scope tap: a `CreateTrackSend(source, temp)` from each selected track
  into a hidden temp track (`B_MAINSEND=0`, hidden from TCP/mixer). The temp records
  its own post-fader output — capturing each source track's output **after its own FX
  and fader, before the parent/folder/master sums it** — chain-independent by
  construction. No `FxBypassGuard` needed or used. Multiple selected tracks sum in the
  temp track (matching offline track scope). Item realtime deferred (`UnsupportedMode`).
  No track selected → refused.
- [x] Timer-driven async state machine (`begin`/`tick`/`abort` driven by `OnTimer`,
  non-blocking — REAPER's UI stays responsive across the record). `begin()` validates,
  snapshots all state, creates the temp track, routes the tap, arms, calls
  `CSurf_OnRecord`, and **returns immediately**. `tick()` (called from `OnTimer`)
  reads the transport via `GetPlayStateEx`/`GetPlayPositionEx` scoped to the record's
  own `ReaProject*` (project-switch safe), advances the pure `advanceRecordPhase`
  state machine, and on a terminal verdict stops + finalizes/restores. `abort()` is
  the force-terminate path for shutdown and project switch.
- [x] `RealtimeCaptureState` snapshot + idempotent restore: snapshots cursor,
  time selection, and every other track's `I_RECARM`; restore() is latched
  (`restored_` flag) and safe to call from whichever terminal path fires first.
  Terminal paths: normal completion, manual stop, error, second-capture reject,
  project switch (project-scoped `OnStopButtonEx(proj_)`, never the global
  `CSurf_OnStop`), **project close** (guarded by `ValidatePtr2(nullptr, proj_,
  "ReaProject*")` — a closed project calls `dropWithoutRestore()` rather than
  touching freed pointers), and extension unload.
- [x] `Finalizing` flush-wait before file move: after the transport stops,
  `tick()` waits for the recorded file size to be positive and stable across a tick
  before calling `finalizeRecording` (file is no longer being written by REAPER's
  audio thread). A wall-clock ceiling (steady-clock, independent of the play cursor)
  bounds both the total record duration and the flush wait separately.
- [x] Move recorded source into bank: `recordedFilePath` discovers the take's source
  file from the temp track's first media item; `finalizeRecording` moves it into the
  bank folder (cross-volume fallback: copy+remove); populates a `Sample` via
  `sampleFromRecordedCapture`; clean teardown via `restore()` deletes the temp track
  (which REAPER uses to automatically remove every send routed into it).
- [x] Dialog-free; realtime is inherently non-deterministic (documented, not asserted
  bit-identical); saved-project gate (refuses + prompts Save-As if unsaved, matching
  offline). Bindable **cancel** action registered. Master scope removed entirely —
  to capture the master, render a track.

**Notes/decisions:**
- **Track scope only this increment.** Item realtime is deferred: item scope needs
  per-item take isolation on top of the track-output tap — a separate increment.
- **TAP vs. FxBypassGuard.** The `CreateTrackSend` defaults to post-fader
  (`I_SENDMODE=0`) with full-stereo (`I_SRCCHAN` default): post-fader taps the source
  track after its own FX and fader/pan, before the parent sums it. The parent chain
  downstream of that branch is not in the tapped path at all — so there is nothing to
  neutralize and `FxBypassGuard` (which mutates the live chain, altering the user's
  monitoring) is deliberately not used. This also fixed the earlier silent-file bug
  from the spike, which sent FROM the master INTO a temp track (a feedback loop REAPER
  refuses, recording silence). A regular track→track send has no feedback.
- **Project-close guard.** `abort()` gates every REAPER call on
  `ValidatePtr2(nullptr, proj_, "ReaProject*")`. A closed project already reclaimed
  its temp track, arms, and transport — `dropWithoutRestore()` latches `restored_`
  and clears `temp_` / `armSnaps_` without touching any REAPER pointer.
- **No undo block.** The transient mutations (temp track, sends, arm, transport) are
  fully reversed by `restore()`; surfacing them as an undo point would pollute the
  user's history with an internal scaffold they cannot meaningfully undo.

---

## T1 — offline tail: auto (default) + manual override
**Goal:** Preserve decay tails on offline captures. **Auto**: render an 8 s-capped
tail, then auto-trim trailing silence to -72 dB via a **surgical** `RENDER_NORMALIZE`
(only the trim-end bit, `32768`) + a derived `RENDER_TRIMEND` amplitude ratio.
**Manual**: a fixed tail length clamped to the 8 s cap, no trim. **None** (default):
exact bounds, byte-identical to the pre-tail capture. See
`docs/product/capture-tail.md` §The offline path.
**Verify (in DAW):** A range ending mid-reverb + Auto tail ends at the -72 dB decay
point (not a hard 8 s, not the range end); a non-decaying signal caps at range + 8 s;
**two identical Auto requests are byte-identical** (deterministic trim); a
TailMode::None capture is byte-identical to the pre-tail exact-bounds capture;
Manual(N ms) yields range + N ms untrimmed, with N clamped to 8000;
`ScopedRenderSettings` restores `RENDER_NORMALIZE` and every touched setting on every
path.

- [x] Pure layer (`render_settings.{h,cpp}`): named constants `kAutoTrimThresholdDb`
  (-72) + derived `RENDER_TRIMEND` amplitude ratio via `autoTrimEndRatio()` (≈
  0.00025119 for -72 dB, computed as `10^(dB/20)` — `std::pow` is not `constexpr`
  before C++26 so this is a function, not a constant), `kMaxTailSeconds`/`kMaxTailMs`
  (8 s); `TailMode { None, Auto, Manual }` enum; `TailRenderSettings` struct
  (tailFlag/tailMs/normalize/trimEnd); `tailRenderSettingsFor(mode, manualTailMs)`
  mapping (None = kTailFlagNone + kNormalizeDisableAll; Auto = kTailFlagCustomBounds
  + kMaxTailMs + kNormalizeTrimEnd (32768) + autoTrimEndRatio(); Manual =
  kTailFlagCustomBounds + clamped ms + kNormalizeDisableAll); unit-tested.
- [x] Wire the mapping into `OfflineRenderBackend` (`capture.cpp`): drives tail +
  surgical-normalize (Auto) / disable-all (Manual/None) via `GetSetProjectInfo`;
  `ScopedRenderSettings` snapshots and restores `RENDER_TRIMEND` alongside the
  existing `RENDER_*` set. `RENDER_TAILFLAG = kTailFlagCustomBounds` (1) for Auto
  and Manual — custom bounds is the always-applicable tail bit for offline captures.
- [x] `CaptureRequest` three-state tail contract (None/Auto/Manual(ms)); default
  None (exact bounds, null-test-safe). The earlier `renderTail` bool/`tailMs` pair
  was superseded.
- [x] Exposure: a **docked-panel footer toggle** (label "Tail: Off" / "Tail: Auto" /
  "Tail: Manual", cycles on click via `cycleTailMode`) in `bank_panel.cpp`, backed
  by the pure `tail_control` module (`TailSetting`, `cycleTailMode`,
  `clampManualMs`, `tailToggleLabel` — unit-tested). Default `TailMode::None`.
  `CAPTURE_ITEM` and `CAPTURE_TRACK` read the panel setting at fire time — **no
  per-action tail variants shipped** (the "…with tail" variants were dropped in
  favour of the toggle; null-test/verify captures use None explicitly).
- [x] DAW-confirm: `RENDER_TRIMEND` amplitude curve (0.00025119 ≈ -72 dB); trim-end-only
  normalize (32768) does not engage fades/normalize/pad; trim never eats pre-`ENDPOS`
  body. (See spec §Open questions / DAW-confirm.)

**Notes/decisions:**
- **Surgical normalize.** `kNormalizeTrimEnd = 32768` sets only the trim-ending-silence
  bit; every other postprocessing bit is clear. A fixed-threshold trailing-silence trim
  scales and fades nothing, so two identical Auto requests trim at the identical sample
  → bit-identical repeats hold (spec §surgical normalize).
- **`kNormalizeDisableAll = (4 << 16) = 262144`.** Used for None and Manual — the
  same disable-all value the pre-tail exact-bounds capture used.
- **`tail_control` pure module** (`src/tail_control.{h,cpp}`): REAPER-free logic for
  the panel toggle. `kDefaultManualTailMs = 2000.0` (2 s). Fine-adjust UI (scroll-wheel
  in 250 ms steps) and per-project persistence landed as T1-followons (see below).
- **Follow-ons resolved:** Manual fine-adjust UI and per-project persistence of the
  toggle landed as T1-followons. T2 realtime tail landed separately.

---

## T2 — realtime tail (follow-on to T1)
**Goal:** The parallel tail path for the M8 realtime backend, which does not drive
`RENDER_*`: record an 8 s-capped tail window past the range end, then **trim in a
PCM decay-scan** to the -72 dB point (Manual = record fixed tail, skip the scan).
See `docs/product/capture-tail.md` §The realtime path.
**Verify (in DAW):** A realtime Auto capture of a decaying source records ≥ the range
then trims at the -72 dB decay point (± inherent realtime tolerance); realtime tail is
**not** asserted bit-identical (documented non-determinism).
**Depends on:** T1, M8.

- [x] Record `[start, end + clamp(tail, 8 s)]` (extend the record time selection in
  `capture_realtime.cpp`); Manual skips the scan, Auto proceeds to it.
- [x] Pure decay-scan helper alongside `peaks`: `lastFrameAboveThreshold(interleaved,
  channels, frames, linearThreshold) -> frameIndex` (backward scan, per-frame max-abs
  across channels, no fold); unit-tested with a synthetic decaying ramp. (Spec §realtime
  path option (a) — recommended over bending `computeEnvelope`.)
- [x] Realtime shell: read the recorded wav PCM into a float buffer, find the trim
  frame, rewrite the file truncated (new I/O the backend does not do today).

**Notes/decisions:**
- New pure module `wav_trim` (`src/wav_trim.{h,cpp}`): 32-bit-float WAV parse + header-aware
  truncate plan (RIFF/data size rewrite). Rejects WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE with non-float
  SubFormat GUID. Depends on `peaks` for the `AudioSample` float alias. Unit-tested via a
  new `wav_trim_tests` CTest target.
- `peaks` gained `lastFrameAboveThreshold` (backward PCM scan, per-frame max-abs across
  channels, no fold) for the Auto decay scan.
- **Auto/Manual/Off semantics.** Auto: records `[start, end + 8 s cap]`, scans backward
  for the last frame above -72 dBFS, truncates the WAV header-aware at that frame. Manual:
  records `[start, end + fixed tail]`, skips the scan. Off: byte-identical to the pre-tail
  exact-bounds capture.
- **Realtime tail is non-deterministic by design** (inherent to the realtime backend).
  Bit-identical repeats are not asserted for the realtime path; this is documented, not a defect.

---

## T1-followons — Manual fine-adjust UI + per-project tail persistence
**Goal:** Close the two follow-ons deferred at T1 landing: (1) scroll-wheel fine-adjust
of the Manual tail length in the panel footer; (2) the tail setting (mode + Manual length)
persists per-project inside the `.rpp` rather than resetting on extension unload.
**Verify (in DAW):** Scroll-wheel over the footer adjusts Manual length in 250 ms steps,
clamped 0–8 s; the label reads "Tail: Manual X.Xs" (one decimal) in Manual mode; footer
click still cycles Off → Auto → Manual. The tail setting survives Save / close+reopen;
projects with no stored key fall back to Off / 2 s.
**Depends on:** T1.

- [x] `adjustManualMs(current, notches, stepMs)` pure helper in `tail_control` (per-notch
  ±`kManualStepMs` = 250 ms, clamped [0, `kMaxTailMs`]); unit-tested.
- [x] `tailToggleLabel` updated: Manual mode appends the clamped length in seconds to one
  decimal, e.g. `"Tail: Manual 2.0s"`; unit-tested at boundary lengths.
- [x] Panel footer scroll-wheel handler calls `adjustManualMs` and repaints; click handler
  unchanged (still cycles mode via `cycleTailMode`).
- [x] `serializeTailSetting` / `deserializeTailSetting` pure round-trip (mode + manualMs)
  added to `tail_control`; unit-tested including `std::nullopt` on malformed input.
- [x] `TailSetting tail_` promoted into `ReaSamplerSession` (peer to `bank_` and `view_`);
  `persist` serializes it under the forever-stable key `"tail_setting"` (namespace
  `"reasampler"`) on save and reloads it on project open. Absent key → default Off / 2 s
  (graceful for older/unsaved projects).
- [x] Changing the toggle marks the project dirty and commits the value to ext state;
  `bankPanelTailSetting()` reads through the session (not a panel-local copy).

**Notes/decisions:**
- `kManualStepMs = 250.0` — Daniel-set coarse-but-precise step; one wheel notch = ± 250 ms.
- Label format: `"Tail: Manual 2.0s"` (one decimal, `s` suffix) — format pinned by unit tests.
- Default fallback on absent/malformed key: `TailSetting { TailMode::None, kDefaultManualTailMs }`
  (Off mode, 2 s stored length) — graceful for projects saved before this feature shipped.
- `kProjExtTailKey = "tail_setting"` is forever-stable (changing it would orphan saved choices,
  falling back to the default — graceful but lossy).

## D2-W3-A — lane minting + item→lane assignment + persist round-trip
**Goal:** The functional core that makes item-lanes appear: a pure `planLaneMinting`
decision (which tracks hold >1 mode's content, which managed lane each item lands on)
plus the shell apply path in `view.cpp` — enables fixed-lane mode, mints one managed
`reasampler:<mode>`-named lane per involved mode, assigns each item (including
pre-existing) to its mode's lane, and drives per-lane play state, all under one undo
block, triggered off the auto-tag detection tick. Reconciles the lane-ownership index
from durable lane names on project load before active-mode visibility is reapplied.
The lane-ownership index persists inside the `"reasampler"` `view_state` blob (rides
in `ViewModeModel::serialize()` / `deserialize()`).
**Verify:** CTest green (14/14). Pure decision unit-tested in `view_mode_model_tests`.
**DAW verification pending** (Daniel testing on dev): two behaviors are
REAPER-runtime-only — whether lane names stick when written on the same tick the track
flips to fixed-lane mode, and whether the leftover empty default lane 0 is silent.
**Depends on:** D2-W2.

- [x] Pure `planLaneMinting` decision (`view_mode_model.{h,cpp}`): for each reported
  track, collect the distinct modes of managed-eligible items; if < 2 modes, no split
  (D1 whole-track parking still separates stances); if ≥ 2 modes, emit one
  `TrackSplit`, one `LaneMint` per involved mode (durable key = `laneNameForMode(mode)`,
  owned by that mode), and one `LaneAssign` per managed-eligible item — including
  pre-existing items, so a track that just gained a second mode retroactively lanes all
  its content. Manual-lane items (`onManualLane = true`) are exempt at the source:
  never counted, never reassigned, never minted-over.
- [x] Shell apply path `applyMintPlan` in `view.cpp`: enables `I_FREEMODE` = fixed
  lanes, grows `I_NUMFIXEDLANES` (never shrinks — user's manual lanes are never
  deleted), stamps each managed lane's durable name via `P_LANENAME`, records
  ownership in the model (`lanes().setManaged`), assigns each item to its mode's lane
  via `I_FIXEDLANE` resolved from the durable key. Returns `changed` so the Undo block
  is only kept when state actually changed (idempotent re-runs produce no undo point).
- [x] Per-lane play state driven immediately after minting: `planToggle` lane ops
  applied via `applyLaneOps` so the freshly-minted lanes take the correct
  `C_LANEPLAYS` state for the active mode without a full `applyMode` re-run (which
  would re-park/restore whole tracks — not correct for a minting tick).
- [x] `mintManagedLanes` entry point in `view.cpp`: reads live track/item picture via
  `readLaneTracks`, calls `planLaneMinting`, wraps the apply in one Undo block labelled
  `"ReaSampler: separate cross-mode content into lanes"`, calls `UpdateTimeline()` +
  `UpdateArrange()` after a fixed-lane mode change.
- [x] `reconcileManagedLanes` in `view.cpp`: on project load, reads every fixed-lane
  track's `P_LANENAME` values; for each name carrying the managed prefix, records the
  lane as managed-for-its-mode in the ownership index — pure read of REAPER state, no
  lane created or renamed. Called from `main.cpp`'s load path before `applyMode`.
- [x] Lane-ownership index persists via `ViewModeModel::serialize()` /
  `deserialize()` — the `LaneOwnershipIndex` is a member of `ViewModeModel` and
  round-trips inside the `"reasampler"` `view_state` key alongside modes, membership,
  snapshots, and active mode. No new persistence key required.
- [x] Detection tick integration: `mintManagedLanes` is called from the `bank_panel`
  timer after the auto-tag pass, so a newly-tagged multi-mode track is split into lanes
  on the same tick the content is detected.

**Notes/decisions:**
- **Single-mode-track rule:** a track carrying content of only ONE mode is not split —
  D1's whole-track parking continues to separate its stance from the other mode without
  lane overhead. The lane-split only engages when a track genuinely holds ≥ 2 modes'
  content.
- **Manual-lane invariant upheld at the source:** `planLaneMinting` never receives
  manual-lane items as split candidates. The shell's `readLaneTracks` marks items on
  manual lanes `onManualLane = true`; the pure decision skips them entirely. Managed
  lanes are always appended (tail ordinals), never overwriting a user's existing lanes.
- **Idempotency:** re-reporting an already-split track produces the same plan; the
  shell's ensure/assign writes are no-ops when state already matches. The Undo block is
  closed with no label (discarded by REAPER) when the plan is non-empty but every write
  was already satisfied, so no phantom undo points accumulate.
- **Review passed** with no Critical or Major findings.

## D2-W3-B — item-level mode actions + W3-A polish
**Goal:** Item-level lane/mode-management actions mirroring the track-level Design
View tag family (bindable in the Actions list), plus the three code-review polish
items carried from D2-W3-A. The persist slice and lane-ownership index round-trip
were completed in D2-W3-A; this wave closes the remaining action surface and
cleans up the implementation.
See CONTEXT.md §Two-canvas sub-phase (Module architecture — persistence).
**Verify (in DAW):** Item mode actions registered and MIDI-bindable in the Actions
list; re-drive mint/apply so each item lands on its mode's managed lane; manual-lane
items exempt; one undo block per action. ctest 14/14 green.
**Depends on:** D2-W3-A.

- [x] "Move selected items → Design" action (`CEREBELLUM_REASAMPLER_VIEW_` family):
  retags selected items' membership to Design mode, re-drives the existing mint/apply
  so each item lands on its mode's managed lane; manual-lane items exempt; one undo
  block.
- [x] "Move selected items → Arrange" action: retags selected items' membership to
  Arrange mode, re-drives mint/apply; manual-lane items exempt; one undo block.
- [x] "Untag selected items" action: removes selected items' membership, re-drives
  mint/apply; manual-lane items exempt; one undo block.
- [x] All three registered (`command_id`/`gaccel`/`hookcommand`); MIDI-bindable.
- [x] W3-A polish — simplified `applyMintPlan`'s redundant `I_NUMFIXEDLANES` re-read:
  single grow-and-track pass removes the second `GetMediaTrackInfo_Value` call inside
  the mint loop.
- [x] W3-A polish — extracted shared item-read seam (`src/item_read.{h,cpp}`):
  removes duplicated `itemGuid`/`itemLaneName` read logic from `view.cpp` and
  `bank_panel.cpp`.
- [x] W3-A polish — added reconcile guard in `reconcileManagedLanes`: skips lanes
  encoding an unregistered mode id (log and skip rather than silently recording an
  orphaned ownership entry).

**Notes/decisions:**
- ctest 14/14 green; review passed with no Critical or Major findings.
- **Panel UI indicator explicitly deferred** (Daniel's decision): a per-track
  lane-split marker has no natural cheap home in the bank panel; the mode switch
  already shows the active mode. Preserved as a deferred/backlog note in PLAN.md
  Phase D2 — not silently dropped.

# Phase V — Versioning & release

> **New pillar, own lettered namespace.** Version scheme + beta side-channel.
> Namespaced **`V` (Versioning)** alongside `M`/`D`/`B`/`R` — a distinct concern
> (build identity + channel isolation) that touches CMake, `main.cpp`'s
> forever-stable command-id contract, and the `"reasampler"` ext-state. Product
> framing + full option analysis: `docs/product/versioning-and-release.md`.
> Deploy/CD wiring (two named artifacts per platform) hands off to dev-ops.

## V1/V3 — app_version module: version constant, ext-state stamp, show-version action
**Goal:** Pure `app_version` module — single-source semver from CMake
`REASAMPLER_VERSION "0.9.01"` via `configure_file` → `version_generated.h`;
ext-state writing-version stamp under key `"version"` riding
`saveToActiveProject()`; absent stamp = silent pre-versioning; on-demand
`"ReaSampler: show version"` action (no startup print). New CTest target
`app_version_tests`.
**Verify:** CTest green. Stamp written under `"version"` key on every
`saveToActiveProject()` call. Absent key classifies as `PreVersioning` (silent).
Show-version action fires on demand only.

- [x] `app_version` pure module (`src/app_version.{h,cpp}`): exports the CMake
  version string constant (`appVersion()`), the ext-state stamp value
  (`stampVersion()` — numeric triple only, no channel suffix), `parseVersion`,
  `versionLess`, `classifyWritingVersion` (empty → `PreVersioning`; unparseable →
  `Unknown`; well-formed → `Stamped`). No REAPER types; standard library only.
- [x] `configure_file` wires `REASAMPLER_VERSION` (the one CMake variable) +
  `REASAMPLER_CHANNEL_IS_BETA` into `version_generated.h` in the build tree;
  `app_version` reads from there — one edit re-threads the version string through
  every consumer.
- [x] Writing-version stamp: `persist` calls `SetProjExtState` under
  `kProjExtVersionKey` (`"version"`) with `stampVersion()` inside
  `saveToActiveProject()` on every save. Absent key on load → `PreVersioning`
  (silent; graceful for pre-versioning projects).
- [x] On-demand show-version action (`channelCommandId("SHOW_VERSION")` /
  `channelActionName("show version")`): prints the CMake-sourced `appVersion()`
  string to the console when fired. **No unconditional startup print** (no version
  line added to the extension load message).
- [x] `app_version_tests` CTest target: version parse/compare/classify round-trip;
  `PreVersioning` on empty; `Unknown` on malformed; `Stamped` on well-formed;
  `versionLess` numeric ordering (10 > 9, not lexicographic).

## V4 — beta-in-isolation: fully isolated coexisting binary via compile-time channel flag
**Goal:** Compile-time channel flag `-DREASAMPLER_CHANNEL=beta` → fully isolated
`reaper_reasampler_beta` binary: ext-state namespace `reasampler_beta`, FOREVER-STABLE
command-id prefix `CEREBELLUM_REASAMPLER_BETA_`, `"ReaSampler beta: "` action names,
channel-qualified dock title/ident, `0.9.01-beta` display render, bank-panel footer
version/channel readout. Stable build byte-identical to prior identity.
**Verify (in DAW):** Both binaries load simultaneously in one REAPER via the startup
dlopen. Stable produces no change to any existing action id, ext-state key, or panel
string. Beta reads/writes only `"reasampler_beta"` namespace; its actions carry
`CEREBELLUM_REASAMPLER_BETA_` prefix; its panel shows `0.9.01-beta`. No shared-state
collision path between channels.

- [x] `app_version` extended as the single source of truth for channel identity (V4):
  `channel()`, `isBeta()`, `extStateNamespace()`, `commandIdPrefix()`,
  `actionDisplayPrefix()`, `binaryName()`, `dockTitle()`, `dockIdent()` — all derived
  from the one `REASAMPLER_CHANNEL_IS_BETA` bit. Stable values byte-identical to
  pre-V4 build.
- [x] `channelCommandId(suffix)` / `channelActionName(phrase)` composition helpers:
  every action-registering shell funnels through these so no shell re-implements the
  channel-qualified concatenation. FOREVER-STABLE per channel.
- [x] `configure_file` threads `REASAMPLER_CHANNEL_IS_BETA` (0 for the default build,
  1 for `-DREASAMPLER_CHANNEL=beta`) alongside the version string. Beta binary name,
  namespace, prefix, and display suffix all derive from this one bit.
- [x] All shells (`main.cpp`, `actions.cpp`, `bank_panel.cpp`, `persist.cpp`) updated
  to compose ids/names via `channelCommandId`/`channelActionName` and read
  `extStateNamespace()` — no scattered `#ifdef` forks in the shells.
- [x] Bank-panel footer version/channel readout: displays `appVersion()` (stable:
  `"0.9.01"`, beta: `"0.9.01-beta"`).
- [x] The lane-name `reasampler:` prefix is deliberately NOT channel-qualified (shared
  naming convention; ownership isolated by namespace).
- [x] Stable build: byte-identical to pre-V4 identity on every string that was
  previously shipped.

**Notes/decisions:**
- The stamp value (`stampVersion()`) is the numeric triple only on BOTH channels —
  no `-beta` suffix in the stamp. The channel is carried by the isolated namespace
  (`extStateNamespace()`), not baked into the stamp, so the stamp parses as `Stamped`
  on read-back and stable's stamp is byte-identical regardless of channel build.
- Two permanent commitments accepted: a second forever-stable command-id prefix
  (`CEREBELLUM_REASAMPLER_BETA_`) and a second ext-state namespace
  (`"reasampler_beta"`). Beta keybindings are a distinct forever-family from stable's.
- Isolation semantics (accepted, not a bug): a channel reads/writes only its own
  namespace — a stable project looks empty/default when opened in beta, and vice versa.
  No cross-namespace read, migration, or fallback.
- Deploy implication (dev-ops hand-off): two named artifacts per platform
  (`reaper_reasampler` + `reaper_reasampler_beta`), built by toggling
  `-DREASAMPLER_CHANNEL`.

# Phase B — Multi-bank (parallel to the M0–M11 capture roadmap and Phase D)

> **Separate phase namespace.** The M-numbers belong to the capture pillar
> (M0–M11); the D-letters belong to Design View. Multi-bank is a third orthogonal
> pillar — generalizing the single bank into a pool + named banks — so it takes its
> own **lettered** namespace (B1, B2, …). "B" reads for **Banks** and, like Phase D,
> keeps the roadmaps from colliding on numbering: Phase B is not "the twelfth
> capture step," it is a different pillar. Authoritative spec: **CONTEXT.md
> §Multi-bank**. Product framing: `docs/product/multi-bank.md`.

## B1 — bank_book (pure)
**Goal:** REAPER-free bank registry wrapping N `BankIndex` instances: pool seeded +
privileged, create/rename/reorder/delete named banks, active-bank id, move/copy a
sample between banks, JSON round-trip + legacy-migration. The heart of the phase;
mirror of `bank_model` / `view_mode_model`; **`BankIndex` untouched (additive)**.
CONTEXT.md §Multi-bank (Module architecture — pure).
**Verify:** CTest green. Pool always present, un-deletable, un-renamable,
un-evacuable (rules rejected in-model). Active-bank defaults to pool. Move is
index-only (source loses entry, destination gains it) and observes destination
collapse-by-hash; copy leaves source intact. Delete drops member index entries.
Evacuate moves all members to the pool, leaving the bank empty. JSON round-trip
lossless across pool-as-bank-zero + named banks + per-bank indices + ordinals +
active id. Legacy `bank_index` JSON parses into `{ pool }` with zero named banks.

- [x] Bank registry: ordered `{ bank id, display name, ordinal, BankIndex }`; pool
  seeded with fixed id + fixed name; create / rename / reorder / delete named banks
  (delete drops the bank's member index entries).
- [x] Pool-privilege rules enforced in-model: reject delete-pool, reject
  rename-pool, reject evacuate-pool, never allow zero banks.
- [x] Active-bank id (get/set; defaults to pool); resolve active bank's `BankIndex`.
- [x] Move sample between banks (index-only; destination collapse-by-hash observed;
  source entry removed).
- [x] Copy sample between banks (index-only; source entry retained; destination
  collapse-by-hash observed).
- [x] Evacuate bank: move every member to the pool (index-only; destination
  collapse-by-hash observed), leaving the bank empty; pool cannot be evacuated.
- [x] JSON round-trip: pool-as-bank-zero inside the blob + named banks + per-bank
  indices + ordinals + active id.
- [x] Legacy migration: a bare `bank_index` JSON promotes to the pool's index with
  zero named banks (one-way, lossless; blob authoritative thereafter).
- [x] Tests: pool privileges (delete/rename/evacuate rejected); move
  source-loses/dest-gains; copy source-retained; evacuate empties source into pool
  with dest collapse; cross-bank same-hash coexistence; dest collapse on move into a
  bank already holding the hash; JSON lossless; legacy migration.

> **Phase-B-wide undo (fork R-B, settled 2026-07-24 — batched REAPER undo points).**
> Every index verb across B1–B5 (create/rename/reorder/delete-bank, move, copy,
> evacuate, remove) wraps its bank/index mutation in a **batched REAPER undo point**
> (`Undo_BeginBlock` / `Undo_EndBlock`), so one bank operation is one Ctrl-Z. This is
> a cross-cutting decision that retro-touches B1–B4, not a B5-local one; the
> per-verb points above inherit it. **Must-verify before build:** confirm against
> `vendor/reaper-sdk` that `"reasampler"` ext-state mutations participate correctly
> in `Undo_BeginBlock`/`Undo_EndBlock` undo blocks — the whole approach depends on
> it. See CONTEXT.md §Sample removal (Guardrails) + product notes §Fork R-B.

**Notes/decisions (R-B — Phase-B-wide undo, landed):**
- Every bank index verb — bindable action AND panel gesture (menu/drag/Delete key) —
  is one batched REAPER undo point (`Undo_BeginBlock2`/`EndBlock2`,
  `UNDO_STATE_MISCCFG`); ext-state participates in undo via `UNDO_STATE_MISCCFG`
  ("extensions!"), SDK-verified. A `projectconfig` hook
  (`BeginLoadProjectState(isUndo)`) triggers a deferred session reload so Ctrl-Z/redo
  visibly restores book/view/tail/manifest in-session. Rejected/no-op ops open no
  undo point; unsaved-project ops discard the empty block.

---

## B-cap — owned-file manifest seam (capture writes; prune consumes in Phase R)
**Goal:** Capture writes each file it creates into an **owned-file manifest**
persisted in the `"reasampler"` ext-state, so Phase R prune can later distinguish
the bank system's own orphans from hand-dropped files. Consumed only in Phase R
(R1/R2) — landed early here because reconstructing the manifest retroactively is a
backfill cliff (fork R-D, settled 2026-07-24: *defer the feature, design the seam*).
CONTEXT.md §Prune (Settled decisions — orphan attribution) + product notes §Fork R-D.
**Verify:** every file the capture path creates is recorded in the owned-file
manifest; the manifest round-trips through the `"reasampler"` ext-state (Save / Save
As / reopen); relative-paths-only preserved. Prune's consumption of it is Phase R.
**Depends on:** the capture add-path (M7) + persist blob machinery (M4 / B2).

- [x] Capture records each created file into an owned-file manifest (the set of
  files the book has created), persisted in the `"reasampler"` ext-state (sibling
  `owned_files` key — persistence shape resolved at build time: sibling key, not
  folded into the `banks` blob).
- [x] Manifest round-trips: survives Save / Save As / reopen via the M4 blob
  machinery; relative-paths-only. (Consumed by Phase R R1/R2 — not consumed here.)

**Notes/decisions:**
- Pure `owned_manifest` module (`src/owned_manifest.{h,cpp}`): relative paths, dedup,
  JSON round-trip. Deliberately decoupled from `bank_book` — tracks files created, not
  index membership; sample-remove is not manifest-remove. Unit-tested via new
  `owned_manifest_tests` CTest target. Persisted under the `"owned_files"` ext-state
  key. Both capture commit paths (offline + realtime) record created files. Joins the
  undo-reload set.

---

## B2 — persist slice (banks ↔ project ext state)
**Goal:** Serialize the book under the `banks` key in `"reasampler"` alongside the
existing sections, with the pool folded in as bank-zero; migrate a legacy
`bank_index` key into the pool on first load and retire the legacy key; reload-on-open
and Save-As survival via the existing M4 machinery. CONTEXT.md §Multi-bank (persist).
**Verify (in DAW):** Banks + named banks + active bank + all per-bank samples survive
Save / Save As / close+reopen; **relative paths only**; bank travels with the `.rpp`;
a project saved before this phase (legacy `bank_index` only) loads as pool + zero
named banks with no sample loss, and after save carries `banks` with no `bank_index`
written.
**Depends on:** B1. (Persistence-key fork settled — fork 1 (a): pool inside the
`banks` blob, legacy key retired after one-way migration.)

- [x] Serialize/deserialize the book under the `banks` key (pool-as-bank-zero inside
  the blob; distinct section from `view_state`; no `bank_index` key written going
  forward).
- [x] Legacy-migration path on load: absent `banks` + present `bank_index` → promote
  into pool, mint the blob, treat blob as authoritative (legacy key retired).
- [x] Session exposes the book; the active bank's `BankIndex` is the capture add
  target (route the M7 capture family through it — additive to M7, no M7 rewrite).
- [x] Confirm survival across Save / Save As; confirm legacy-project load path.

---

## B3 — actions
**Goal:** Bindable action set for the multi-bank workflow. CONTEXT.md §Multi-bank
(actions). **Verify (in DAW):** Each action registered (bindable in Actions list);
bank-activate + move/copy + evacuate MIDI-bindable; create/rename/delete/evacuate
drive the B1 model via the B2-persisted session.
**Depends on:** B1, B2.

- [x] Create bank / rename bank / delete bank (delete drops member index entries;
  confirm-on-non-empty offered at the UI layer in B4).
- [x] Evacuate bank → pool (move all members back to the pool; refuses on the pool).
- [x] Activate bank (direct-by-id + cycle).
- [x] Move selected samples → bank / copy selected samples → bank (move is default).
- [x] Pool full-height / banks full-height toggles.
- [x] Register each (`command_id`/`gaccel`/`hookcommand`); bank-activate + move/copy
  + evacuate MIDI-bindable.

---

## B4 — bank_panel vertical split (UI)
**Goal:** The vertical-split bank window — pool on top, named-banks tab-page region
below, full-height toggles — extending the M5 docked grid. CONTEXT.md §Multi-bank
(bank_panel). **Verify (in DAW):** Pool grid renders on top; named-banks tab strip
below (empty when no named banks, one tab per named bank); active-bank **unmistakably**
indicated; both full-height toggles collapse the split correctly; sample move/copy
affordance works; non-empty delete confirms and offers evacuate; the Design View mode
switch in the header is unaffected.
**Depends on:** B1, B2, B3. (Tab rendering + move-affordance mechanics — fork 5 —
settled 2026-07-23: LICE-drawn tabs + both move affordances; see Phase B open questions
and product notes → *Fork 5 — settled*.)

- [x] Vertical split: pool grid region (top) + named-banks tab-page region (bottom).
- [x] Named-banks tab strip: **LICE-drawn** (matching the M5 grid + Design View
  segmented switch, not SWELL-native — fork 5a); one tab per named bank; empty state
  when none.
- [x] Tab-strip overflow/scroll affordance (fork 5a): scroll/chevron overflow shipped
  with the strip.
- [x] Pool full-height / banks full-height toggle affordances wired to B3.
- [x] Active-bank indicator — **visually unmistakable** (settled constraint).
- [x] Create / rename / delete / activate / evacuate affordances driving B3 actions.
- [x] Delete confirms on a non-empty bank, naming the evacuate alternative.
- [x] Sample move affordance — **both** (fork 5b): a "move to bank" menu on the current
  selection (bindable front-end for the B3 move action) **and** drag-between-regions.
  Copy is the deliberate secondary act, offered on the menu.
- [x] Drag mis-drop mitigation (fork 5b): clear drop-target highlighting on the
  destination region/tab during a drag.

**Notes/decisions:**
- New pure module `src/tab_strip.{h,cpp}`: named-banks tab-strip geometry (B4) —
  strip rect + N tabs + scroll offset → per-tab rects (overflow-clipped), overflow
  chevron reservation + maxScroll, and point → tab/chevron hit-test. Unit-tested via
  `tab_strip_tests` CTest target. Mirror of `mode_switch`.
- Active-bank indicator placement (the open polish detail from the Phase B open
  questions) was resolved at build time in the panel implementation.
- Post-landing: m11's console-chatter policy applied to Phase B messages (successes
  silent, failures kept).

---

## B5 — sample-remove (the missing sample-level verb)
**Goal:** Drop an individual `Sample`'s index entry from a bank or the pool —
the sample-level companion to move/copy/evacuate/delete-bank. Index-only,
non-destructive to the file; exposes the `BankIndex::remove` primitive that
`bank_model` already has (wires it, does not add it). CONTEXT.md §Sample removal.
Product framing + open forks: `docs/product/removal-and-prune.md` §Sample-remove.
**Verify (in DAW):** Remove drops the selected sample's entry from the target
bank; a same-hash entry in another bank is untouched (no cross-bank dedup);
pool *contents* are removable while pool-container privileges hold; removing the
last index reference to a file leaves that file on disk (orphaned until prune —
never deleted by remove); non-destructive (index + ext-state only, no file, no
timeline item).
**Depends on:** B1, B2, B3 (action set), B4 (panel affordance).

- [x] Surface `BankIndex::remove` through `bank_book`: remove a `Sample` from a
  bank's index; pool contents removable, pool-container privileges unchanged.
- [x] "Remove selected sample(s)" action (`command_id`/`gaccel`/`hookcommand`),
  MIDI-bindable; carries a `scope: this-bank | all-banks` seam (fork R-A, settled
  2026-07-24: **this-bank** is the default and only surfaced affordance; all-banks
  stays a latent seam-only parameter, not shipped).
- [x] `bank_panel` remove affordance on the current selection (reuse M5 selection
  model, as move/copy do).
- [x] Silent remove: no confirm dialog; recoverability via batched REAPER undo
  (R-B) — one Ctrl-Z restores the index entry; files are never deleted by remove.
- [x] Tests: remove drops the target entry; same-hash entry in another bank
  survives; remove-from-pool allowed; last-reference remove leaves an orphan (file
  untouched); non-destructive (no file/timeline mutation).

**Notes/decisions (B5 forks — settled 2026-07-24):**
- **R-A — remove scope.** Settled: **this-bank**. Removes the entry from the bank in
  view only; the `scope: this-bank | all-banks` seam stays in the action signature
  but all-banks is a latent parameter, not a surfaced verb.
- `hashReferencedElsewhere` cross-bank reference query in `bank_book` retained as
  a tested model API for Phase R prune; the remove shells no longer call it.
- Both `bank_panel` context menu ("Remove selected sample(s)") and Delete key
  affordance wired; panel gesture is also one batched undo point (R-B applies).

---

## Milestone 10 — provenance (re-capture from source)
**Goal:** Populate `Sample.provenance` (parent sample id + a capture-recipe
fingerprint) on resample-from-sample, and ship a **"re-capture from source"**
action that regenerates a sample from its recorded source. Reconciled with the
dual-canvas (Phase D2) model. CONTEXT.md §Data model, §capture; product framing +
the settled reconciliation in `docs/product/provenance.md`.
**Verify (in DAW):** A sample resampled from a bank sample carries its parent id +
recipe fingerprint; "re-capture from source" regenerates the file into the bank
(never auto-inserting into the timeline — load-bearing principle); re-capture with
an unchanged source + request is byte-identical to the original (bit-identical
repeats); non-destructive to source items/tracks.

> **Reshaped from the old "provenance + null-test verify" M10.** **Cut (fixed by
> Daniel):** the null-test verification *action* and the true-pre-FX-dry *mechanism*
> the old note required — both dropped, see `docs/product/provenance.md` §What was
> cut. **Kept:** provenance + re-capture. The `Sample.provenance` struct and its JSON
> round-trip **already exist** (M1) — M10 populates and consumes the field, it does
> not add it. Fork picks settled by Daniel (2026-07-23): **P1=a thin fingerprint,
> P2=a bank-only re-capture**; P3/P4 moot under P2=a.

- [x] Populate `Sample.provenance` on resample-from-sample: `parentSampleId` (the
  bank sample the capture derived from) + `fxChainSnapshot` as a **thin capture-recipe
  fingerprint** (scope + source FX-chain identity/hash at capture time — a drift/repro
  fingerprint, NOT a serialized pre-FX-dry chain to restore; P1=a settled).
- [x] "Re-capture from source" action (`RECAPTURE_FROM_SOURCE`, channel-composed):
  regenerate a provenanced sample by re-running its recorded capture request against
  the source's **current** state; update the bank file + Sample in place
  (`BankIndex::updateInPlace` / `BankBook::updateSampleInPlace` — order-preserving,
  id-stable; old file becomes a Phase R orphan). **Bank-only — never inserts/re-places
  into the timeline** (load-bearing principle). Reports drift if the source changed
  since capture.
- [x] Verify: re-capture of an unchanged source is byte-identical to the original
  capture (bit-identical repeats); non-destructive (`FxBypassGuard` snapshot/restore
  as M7); relative-paths-only preserved.

**Dual-canvas reconciliation (settled — `docs/product/provenance.md`):** With
bank-only re-capture (P2=a), provenance is **pure per-sample bank metadata**,
`bank_model` and `view_mode_model` **stay decoupled**, and M10 touches **no** canvas
code. Dual-canvas compliance is satisfied by staying on the right side of the
capture-never-places line — not by any new coupling. Forks P3 (canvas/lane memory in
provenance) and P4 (re-capture auto-tag interaction) were only live under
re-capture-and-replace (P2=b) and are **closed as moot**; if the user manually
re-places a regenerated sample, the existing D2 mode-aware placement rule governs.

**Notes/decisions:**
- Pure `provenance` module: `rsprov1` length-prefixed encoding; captures scope, exact
  range, tail, rate/channels, track GUIDs, order-sensitive FX-chain identity;
  parse/compare for drift detection. NOT a serialized chain to restore.
- `provenance_shell`: FX-chain identity queries via `TrackFX_*` / `TakeFX_*`;
  source-item path collection; parent-detection inputs. Item scope fingerprints take
  FX via `TakeFX_*`; track scope fingerprints track FX. Stamps `Sample.provenance`
  when every resolving source item maps by exact normalized path (case-folded on
  Windows) to exactly one bank sample — ambiguous/mixed cases conservatively record
  nothing.
- **Cut items (correct per spec, not built):** the null-test verification action and
  the pre-FX dry path. Both were explicitly removed at M10 reshaping
  (`docs/product/provenance.md` §What was cut).
- New CTest target `provenance_tests`.

## Phase B open questions — all resolved

All five forks settled by Daniel (2026-07-23): persistence key = fold pool into `banks`,
retire legacy key (1a); delete drops members + add evacuate verb (2); move is the
default gesture (3); active-bank/shown-tab distinct with an unmistakable indicator (4);
LICE-drawn tabs + overflow, and both move affordances with drop-highlighting (5).
Active-bank indicator placement (the one residual polish detail) was resolved at
build time. B5 forks R-A and R-B settled 2026-07-24 (see B5 and B1 notes above).
Both in `docs/product/removal-and-prune.md` §Fork R-A / §Fork R-B.

# Phase R — Reclaim (file lifecycle: the prune path)

> **New pillar, own lettered namespace.** Prune is the file-lifecycle path the
> capture and multi-bank specs forward-reference throughout ("files persist on disk
> until prune") but that had no phase, module, or point. It is the **only** operation
> in ReaSampler that deletes bytes off disk. Namespaced **`R` (Reclaim)** alongside
> `M`/`D`/`B` because it is a distinct pillar — it serves *every* orphan-producing
> path (delete-bank, sample-remove B5, potentially M10 re-capture), not just
> Multi-bank, and it carries a new risk class (file deletion) with its own
> invariants. Authoritative spec: **CONTEXT.md §Prune — file-lifecycle spec**.
> Product framing + phase-placement justification + forks:
> `docs/product/removal-and-prune.md` §Prune.
>
> **Boundary (load-bearing):** *remove creates orphans; prune reclaims them.* No
> operation other than prune deletes a file; prune deletes only files no index
> references. A bank op that deletes a file is still a bug.
>
> **Depends on:** B1, B2 (needs the multi-bank book to union the referenced-set
> across all banks) and B5 conceptually (sample-remove is a primary orphan-producer,
> so remove-then-prune is the coherent pair — mirror of evacuate-then-delete). Does
> **not** depend on the B3/B4 UI.

## R1 — prune-reconcile core (pure)
**Goal:** REAPER-free, filesystem-free reconciler — given the files present in the
bank folder, the files referenced by the book (unioned across all banks, pool
included), and the **owned-file manifest** (fork R-D, written from capture onward by
B-cap), compute the orphan set `(owned ∩ present) − referenced`. The mirror of
`ViewModeModel::reconcile(liveGuids)`, one level down (files instead of GUIDs).
CONTEXT.md §Prune (Module architecture — pure).
**Verify:** CTest green. **Prune null test:** a folder whose every file is
referenced deletes nothing; prune returns exactly `(owned ∩ present) − referenced`
and nothing else. Referenced-set unioned across every bank (a file referenced by any
bank — including via a copy — is never an orphan); a present-but-not-owned file (a
hand-dropped file) is never an orphan.

- [x] Prune-reconcile pure function: `(present, referenced, owned) → orphans`,
  computing `(owned ∩ present) − referenced`; referenced unioned across the whole
  book (copies keep a file alive).
- [x] Tests: prune null test (all-referenced → empty); orphan = (owned∩present)−
  referenced; a copied file referenced by a second bank survives; a present-but-
  unowned (hand-dropped) file is never reclaimed; empty folder / empty book / empty
  manifest edge cases.

**Notes/decisions:**
- New pure module `src/prune_reconcile.{h,cpp}`: exports `pruneOrphans(present,
  referenced, owned)` (the safety-critical set algebra), `buildPruneReport`
  (count/bytes/display-capped list, unit-testable), and `pruneDeletePlan` (the R3
  confirm-time staleness intersection — `confirmed ∩ freshOrphans` in confirm order).
  Exact-string path match throughout (no case-folding, no separator normalization).
  `BankBook::referencedPaths()` additive const union query (all banks incl. pool,
  de-duped) added to `bank_book`. New `prune_reconcile_tests` CTest target.

---

## R2 — prune shell + persist wiring (filesystem I/O, thin)
**Goal:** Enumerate the current project bank folder (M4 project-relative resolution),
supply the referenced-set and the **owned-file manifest** (from B-cap) from the
session, feed the pure core, and produce a dry-run manifest. No deletion in this
wave — the report path only. CONTEXT.md §Prune (persist / prune shell).
**Verify (in DAW):** Dry-run reports the orphan count + reclaimed size (+ file list
for a small set) against the resolved current bank folder; resolves paths the same
way the index does (survives a Save-As relocation); deletes nothing.
**Depends on:** R1, B1, B2.

- [x] Prune shell: enumerate the resolved current bank folder; feed the pure core.
- [x] Session supplies the referenced-set (union across the book) **and the
  owned-file manifest** (written by B-cap); resolve the bank folder via the M4
  project-relative machinery.
- [x] Dry-run manifest: orphan count + reclaimed size (+ files for a small set);
  **no deletion in this wave.**

**Notes/decisions:**
- `ReaSamplerSession::pruneDryRun()` (read-only, non-throwing) enumerates the
  resolved current bank folder, unioning `book().referencedPaths()` and
  `owned().paths()`, feeds `pruneOrphans`, and calls `buildPruneReport` with a 64-file
  display cap. Pure `bankRelativeForName` (`capture_paths`) normalizes the folder-
  enumeration spelling to match the index convention so the pure core's exact-string
  match lines up. Forever-stable `BANK_PRUNE_FOLDER` action registered (dry-run report
  to console in R2; deletion wired in R3 behind the same action id).

---

## R3 — deletion + action (the destructive step, guarded)
**Goal:** The confirmed deletion step, the bindable "Prune bank folder" action, and
a `bank_panel` prune button: dry-run-first, confirm-with-manifest, then reclaim the
orphan set — via OS trash where portably available (fork R-C), else unlink.
CONTEXT.md §Prune (guardrails, API).
**Verify (in DAW):** "Prune bank folder" (action or panel button) reports first,
deletes only on explicit confirm, and reclaims exactly the orphan set — never a
referenced file, never a hand-dropped non-bank file; the referenced/owned-set safety
holds; deletions route to OS trash where available; non-bank and capture invariants
untouched.
**Depends on:** R2 (and B-cap's owned-file manifest). All forks settled 2026-07-24.

- [x] "Prune bank folder" action (`command_id`/`gaccel`/`hookcommand`),
  dry-run-first, confirm-to-delete.
- [x] `bank_panel` prune button (fork R-E) that fires the "Prune bank folder"
  action through the existing command-id contract — the panel affordance alongside
  the bindable action; split: button hit-test/layout is pure (mirror of
  `mode_switch`/`bank_grid`), draw + dispatch is bank_panel shell.
- [x] Deletion mechanism (fork R-C, settled trash-preferred): route to OS trash
  where a portable move-to-trash is verified available, else unlink behind the
  dry-run/confirm guardrail.
- [x] Orphan attribution (fork R-D, settled owned-file manifest): reclaim only
  `(owned ∩ present) − referenced` — the bank system's own leavings, never a
  hand-dropped folder file. (Manifest written by B-cap; consumed via R1/R2.)

**Notes/decisions:**
- Deletion is guarded: dry-run → REAPER `ShowMessageBox` confirm (count+bytes+files)
  → `pruneDeletePlan` staleness intersection (confirmed ∩ fresh pure-core output) →
  delete exactly the plan. Zero ext-state writes, no undo point (file deletion is not
  REAPER-undoable by design).
- **Windows:** routes to Recycle Bin via `SHFileOperationW` + `FOF_ALLOWUNDO`
  (verified against SDK 10.0.26100). **macOS / Linux:** no portable SWELL trash
  surface; falls back to `unlink` behind the dry-run/confirm guardrail.
- Manifest entries are deliberately NOT removed on deletion (the owned-file manifest
  algebra self-cleans: a deleted file will drop from `present` on the next prune scan,
  and `pruneOrphans` returns `(owned ∩ present) − referenced` — the absent file
  contributes nothing regardless).
- New pure module `src/prune_button.{h,cpp}`: layout (`computePruneButton`) and
  hit-test (`hitTestPruneButton`) for the footer prune button, right-anchored,
  suppressed gracefully when the footer is too narrow. Mirror of `mode_switch` /
  `tab_strip`. New `prune_button_tests` CTest target.
- `bank_panel` footer button dispatches `BANK_PRUNE_FOLDER` via `Main_OnCommand`
  through the registered command id (the same action as the bindable menu entry —
  no duplicate logic).

---

## Milestone 11 — polish (wave 1)
**Goal:** Batch capture (per selected item / per razor area), action trigger buttons
+ keybinding help labels, conform-on-insert. CONTEXT.md Build order 11.
**Verify (gates 23/23 both configs):** CTest green on new pure targets; each
in-panel action fires through the command-id contract without regressing precision
invariants.

- [x] **Batch capture** (`batch_capture` pure module + `CAPTURE_BATCH_ITEMS` /
  `CAPTURE_BATCH_RAZOR` actions): plan source ranges → ordinal units; mixed-result
  aggregation; actions fire one bank sample per selected item / per razor area;
  transient per-unit selection with RAII restore; per-unit invariants + provenance;
  single persist per batch; one summary line. `RunCapture` internals extracted to a
  shared `captureAndIndexOne` helper (behavior identical). New CTest target
  `batch_capture_tests`.
- [x] **Action trigger buttons + keybinding help labels** (`action_buttons` pure
  module + bank_panel strip): strip layout/hit-test with min-width overflow-hiding
  and label formatting with "(unbound)" fallback; struct `ActionButtonRect`; a 28px
  LICE button strip in bank_panel between the split body and tail footer fires
  capture item/track, realtime start/cancel, insert native/conform, re-capture-from-
  source via `NamedCommandLookup` + `Main_OnCommand`; labels show live bindings via
  `kbd_getTextFromCmd`. Coexists with Phase R's prune button (footer). New CTest
  target `action_buttons_tests`.
- [x] **Conform-on-insert** — verified already shipped (both insert variants were
  registered actions since the insert milestone); no new code. Closes as
  verified-extant.
- ~~[ ] **Resample-and-mute-source** — Cut (fixed by Daniel, 2026-07-26).~~ Rationale:
  the Design View mode projection (park/hide inactive-mode content) supersedes the
  mute-after-capture workflow; a mute action would be redundant with the dual-canvas
  architecture. Mirror of the null-test cut precedent ("Cut (fixed by Daniel)").

## Milestone 11 — polish (wave 2 / completion)
**Goal:** Native OS drag-out — the final M11 polish item. CONTEXT.md Build order 11,
§Non-goals (drag-out deferred to last).
**Verify (gates 24/24 both configs):** Drag-out places a valid file in the OS target
without regressing the precision invariants; copy-only semantics throughout (no source
deletion on drop); internal move/copy drag unchanged.

- [x] **`drag_out` pure module** (gesture-boundary decision): internal drag becomes
  OS-bound when the pointer leaves the panel client rect; path-list assembly with
  dedupe and missing-file skip. No REAPER types at the boundary. New CTest target
  `drag_out_tests`.
- [x] **`drag_out_win` shell** (Windows): OLE `DoDragDrop` / `CF_HDROP`. Copy-only
  structurally — `DROPEFFECT_MOVE` is not offered and no source-deletion path exists;
  prune remains the sole file-deleter. macOS/Linux via `SWELL_InitiateDragDropOfFileList`
  with a documented copy-semantics caveat (SWELL does not expose a drop-effect query).
- [x] `bank_panel` additive hook only — internal move/copy drag unchanged.

**Notes/decisions:**
- Copy-only is structural, not a policy flag: `DROPEFFECT_MOVE` is never offered on
  Windows, so the OS never signals a move. The SWELL path cannot query drop-effect;
  copy semantics are documented as a known caveat for macOS/Linux.
- Prune remains the sole authority for deleting files off disk; drag-out does not
  remove the source file or any bank index entry.
- This wave completes **Milestone 11** in full.

## Phase R forks — settled 2026-07-24
- **Fork R-C — deletion mechanism.** Settled: **trash-preferred, unlink fallback.**
  Route to OS trash where a portable move-to-trash is available (recoverable), else
  unlink behind strong dry-run/confirm. Per-platform trash surface verified at build:
  Windows `SHFileOperationW` + `FOF_ALLOWUNDO` (SDK 10.0.26100); macOS/Linux no
  portable SWELL trash surface → unlink fallback. Folded into R3.
- **Fork R-D — orphan attribution.** Settled: **owned-file manifest**,
  `(owned ∩ present) − referenced`; folder-sweep rejected as unsafe. **Seam lands
  early** — the manifest is written from capture onward (new **B-cap** point in
  Phase B), not reconstructed at prune time; R1/R2 consume it. Persistence shape
  (sibling `"reasampler"` key vs. `banks` blob) resolved at build time: sibling
  `"owned_files"` key.
- **Fork R-E — trigger.** Settled: **manual action + `bank_panel` button**,
  dry-run-first, confirm-to-delete. No background sweep. The earlier optional
  delete-time "…and prune now" convenience was **not** selected — out of scope.
  Folded into R3.

Both docs of record: `docs/product/removal-and-prune.md` §Fork R-C/R-D/R-E and
CONTEXT.md §Prune (Settled forks).

# Phase L — Look-and-feel (system-wide visual design language)

> Separate phase namespace. Namespaced **`L` (Look-and-feel)**, orthogonal to and ungated
> by the M/D/B/R/V/S pillars. Authoritative spec: **CONTEXT.md §Phase L**. Product
> framing + settled decisions (DS-1/DS-2/DS-3): `docs/product/visual-design-language.md`.

## L1 — shared LICE drawing kit (the foundation)
**Goal:** Stand up the shared LICE-based drawing kit that every Phase L surface (L2 dock
panel, L3 VST editor) consumes — palette/theme module, pure component geometry/hit-test
helpers, LICE draw shell, and retirement of the GDI `DrawText` path in `bank_panel`.
CONTEXT.md §Phase L (Kit architecture). DS-1 (LICE + WDL, no external frameworks) and
DS-2 (Direction B Neon Console + Direction C spectral) are the governing settled decisions.
**Verify:** CTest green (`theme_tests`, `component_geometry_tests`). Each text-on-surface
pair in the palette clears its WCAG floor (tested). `bank_panel` text routes through
cached-font `text()` — GDI `DrawText` path retired. Double-buffer discipline preserved.

- [x] **`theme`/palette module** (`src/theme.{h,cpp}`): role→color mapping via one
  constants block (DS-2 revised — REAPER-grey neutral ladder + three-accent pastel
  system: `bg/base #2b2b2b` / `bg/panel #333333` / `bg/cell #3a3a3a` / `line/hairline
  #4a4a4a` / `text/primary #dcdcdc` / `text/dim #a8a8a8`; `accent/primary` pastel lime
  `#B0E098` = live/active/selected, `accent/secondary` pastel teal `#84D6D0` +
  `accent/tertiary` pastel purple `#C2AAE8` = categorical distinctions); `Role` enum
  carries the three accent roles; `roleColor`/`roleColorState` updated (Active/Dragging/
  Focus → primary accent); `spectralColor` is a pastel three-stop sweep anchored on the
  three accents (lime → teal → purple); WCAG contrast-floor helpers + tests (text/dim-on-grey
  AA body; three pastels on bg/cell + bg/panel at the 3:1 floor); interaction-state color
  model. Pure; no LICE types. New CTest target `theme_tests`.
- [x] **`component_geometry` module** (`src/component_geometry.{h,cpp}`): button/slider/
  list-row geometry + hover hit-test. Pure; no LICE or REAPER types. New CTest target
  `component_geometry_tests`.
- [x] **`draw_kit` shell** (`src/draw_kit.{h,cpp}`): LICE draw layer — `fillSurface`
  (micro-gradient + inner highlight/shadow), `drawButton`/`drawSlider`/`drawListRow`/
  `drawWaveform`, cached-font `text()` over four `LICE_CachedFont`s (kit-owned lifecycle),
  full interaction-state model, double-buffer preserved.
- [x] **GDI `DrawText` retirement in `bank_panel`**: all panel text now routes through the
  kit's cached-font `text()`; raw GDI `DrawText` path retired (the single biggest
  "temple os → modern" lever).

---

## L2 — dock-panel layout redesign
**Goal:** Full layout redesign of the `bank_panel` dock window — task-grouped action bar,
full M11-aware button inventory placed by cluster, entire panel drawn through the L1 kit.
CONTEXT.md §Phase L (L2 scope). DS-3 (thorough layout redesign, not a light re-skin) is the
governing settled decision; sequenced after M11 merged.
**Verify:** CTest green (`action_bar_tests`). The panel renders in the settled B+spectral
language through the L1 kit — chrome, buttons, tabs, grid cells, dividers all by palette
role with hover on interactive elements; remaining GDI text retired; single
`KitColor→LICE_pixel` boundary via the kit's `toLice` (exposed in `draw_kit.h`). Prune
button remains footer-set-apart + `warn`-colored; grid stays the centerpiece.

- [x] **`action_bar` pure module** (`src/action_bar.{h,cpp}`, `tests/test_action_bar.cpp`,
  CTest target `action_bar_tests`): task-grouped action-bar layout — clusters (Capture /
  Placement / Maintenance), per-button label + keybinding micro sub-rects, whole-trailing-
  button overflow, point→index hit-test. Pure; no LICE or REAPER types. Mirror of
  `mode_switch`/`bank_grid`/`action_buttons`.
- [x] **`bank_panel` redesigned**: full M11-aware button inventory placed and grouped by
  task cluster (Capture: capture item/track, batch items, batch razor, realtime; Placement:
  insert + insert-conform; Maintenance: re-capture, cancel-realtime); prune remains footer-
  set-apart + `warn`-colored; grid stays the centerpiece. Entire panel draws through the L1
  kit (chrome, buttons, tabs, grid cells, dividers) by palette role with hover on
  interactive elements; remaining GDI text retired; single `KitColor→LICE_pixel` boundary
  via the kit's `toLice` (now exposed in `draw_kit.h`).

---

## L4 — dock-panel button layout enhancement
**Goal:** Re-home the `bank_panel`'s L2 button inventory around *frequency and intent* —
three-zone structure: top toolbar (capture + placement + maintenance), bottom toolbar (Design
View tagging + switching), footer (narrow mode toggle · Tail button · Prune). A layout
re-home of buttons that fire existing actions; no new actions, no capture/placement behavior
change, no touching the "capture ≠ placement" principle. Independent of L3.
CONTEXT.md §Phase L (L4 dock-panel button layout). Product framing:
`docs/product/visual-design-language.md` §L4.
**Verify (in DAW):** the top toolbar fires every capture + placement + maintenance action; the
bottom toolbar tags/untags selected tracks and switches/toggles Arrange/Design/show-both; the
footer shows a narrow `[Arrange|Design]` toggle at the left, a Tail button that cycles tail
on click with button states, and the Prune button set apart at the right in `warn`; every
surface draws through the L1 kit in the DS-2 grey+pastel palette; capture and placement still
never auto-insert (the buttons only fire the existing, unchanged actions).

- [x] **Top toolbar**: capture cluster (capture item, capture track, batch items, batch razor,
  capture RT) + placement cluster (insert, insert-conform) + maintenance cluster (re-capture,
  cancel-realtime) moved from the L2 bottom bar to a top toolbar via `action_bar` row layout;
  buttons fire existing actions unchanged — no auto-insert.
- [x] **Bottom toolbar**: Design View action family as buttons (tag / untag selected for mode,
  activate Arrange, activate Design, toggle active mode, show-both) via `action_bar`
  `ActionCluster::Tagging` + `ActionCluster::Switching`; fires existing registered Design View
  actions.
- [x] **Footer toggle**: `[Arrange|Design]` segmented toggle shrunk to fit-its-text width and
  moved to the footer left of Prune; per-mode count as a compact adjacent label.
- [x] **Footer Tail button**: Tail click-zone converted to a proper kit button (rest/hover/
  pressed states; click still cycles the tail setting).
- [x] **Footer order** (`[Arrange|Design]` · Tail · … · Prune `warn` set apart at the right);
  pure footer-strip layout in new `footer_bar` module covered by CTest (`footer_bar_tests`).

**Notes/decisions:**
- **Maintenance cluster restored to top toolbar** (Daniel's directive during L4 build): the
  initial L4 spec described the top toolbar as "capture + placement" only; the landed
  implementation includes re-capture and cancel-realtime in a Maintenance cluster on the same
  top toolbar. CONTEXT.md and CLAUDE.md updated to reflect the actual layout.
- New pure module `src/footer_bar.{h,cpp}`: footer layout/hit-test (narrow mode toggle +
  Tail button + Prune); no LICE or REAPER types. New CTest target `footer_bar_tests`.
- `action_bar` gained `ActionCluster::Tagging` and `ActionCluster::Switching` for the
  bottom-toolbar Design View verb groups.

## L5 — dock-panel button refinements
**Goal:** Refine the L4 three-zone toolbar so the button faces read cleanly and group
legibly — an overflow menu for the rare capture variants, short faces with full-name
tooltips (no `ReaSampler:` prefix), an opposite-mode tag-button set, removal of the now-
redundant Toggle and Activate-Arrange/Design buttons, and semantic-grouping spacing.
**No new capture/placement behavior**; every button fires an existing registered action
(the "capture ≠ placement" principle is untouched). Ungated by Phase S; sequences after L4.
**Verify (in DAW):** the top bar shows only frequent capture/placement/maintenance buttons +
a right-anchored More (⋯) menu that fires Batch Items / Batch Razor / Capture RT; hover
tooltip shows the full action name with `ReaSampler:` prefix stripped; the bottom bar shows
four Item/Track × Arrange/Design tag buttons with only the opposite-mode pair live (disabled
pair visibly greyed via the kit `Disabled` state) and no Toggle button; cluster groups read
as groups. All buttons fire the same actions their keybindings do.

- [x] Top-toolbar overflow: Batch Items / Batch Razor / Capture RT pulled off the visible bar
  into a right-anchored **More (⋯) menu button** (kit-drawn button + `TrackPopupMenu` popup);
  each entry fires its existing command id. Pure layout owns the menu-button rect + hit-test
  (`overflow_menu` pure module); the popup + dispatch is shell.
- [x] Short faces + drop `ReaSampler:` prefix on the button *face*; keep the keybinding micro
  sub-row.
- [x] **Hover tooltip carrying the full action name (prefix stripped)** via a **custom LICE-kit
  hover-delay tooltip** (`tooltip` pure module): sourced from the registered action phrase
  (not `kbd_getTextFromCmd`); `ReaSampler:` prefix stripped at draw time; tooltip box width
  clamped to the client so it never overhangs a narrow dock. The keybinding sub-row still uses
  the live binding from `kbd_getTextFromCmd`.
- [x] Bottom-toolbar four tag buttons: **Item: Arrange / Item: Design / Track: Arrange /
  Track: Design**, wired to the existing item-move (`VIEW_MOVE_ITEMS_ARRANGE` /
  `VIEW_MOVE_ITEMS_DESIGN`) + track-tag (`VIEW_TAG_ARRANGE` / `VIEW_TAG_DESIGN`) actions.
- [x] **Opposite-mode enablement:** a button is live iff its target mode ≠ the active mode;
  otherwise drawn `Disabled` (kit disabled state, `TextDim`) and its click is a no-op. Pure
  predicate (`mode_enable` pure module) unit-tested; shell reads `view().activeModeId()` once
  per draw and applies.
- [x] **Activate-Arrange / Activate-Design / Toggle buttons removed** from the bottom toolbar
  (all three actions stay registered; footer toggle owns mode switching). **Show Both** kept
  as a set-apart button on the bottom toolbar.
- [x] Semantic-grouping spacing widened: `clusterGap` 16→24 (`buttonGap` remains 4; 6:1 ratio)
  on both toolbars so clusters read as groups.

**Notes/decisions:**
- **Activate-Arrange / Activate-Design / Toggle FORK resolved (Daniel):** all three removed
  from the bottom toolbar. The footer `[Arrange|Design]` toggle is the single mode-switch
  affordance; the bottom bar is tagging + Show Both only.
- **Tooltip mechanism resolved as custom LICE-kit hover-delay tooltip** (DS-1 "keep drawing in
  the kit"): avoids attaching a SWELL tooltip control to non-child LICE rects. SWELL is the
  Win32-emulation layer for macOS/Linux and is not the mechanism used here; on Windows the
  path is native, and the chosen implementation is a custom kit-drawn tooltip.
- New pure modules: `src/overflow_menu.{h,cpp}` (menu-button geometry/reserve/hit-test),
  `src/mode_enable.{h,cpp}` (opposite-mode enablement predicate), `src/tooltip.{h,cpp}`
  (placement + prefix-strip). New CTest targets `overflow_menu_tests`, `mode_enable_tests`,
  `tooltip_tests`.

## L6 — toolbar polish (in-DAW feedback refinement on L5)
**Goal:** Polish pass on the L5 dock-panel state based on Daniel's in-DAW feedback —
single-row button faces, keybinding surfaced in the hover tooltip, Cancel RT moved into
the overflow menu, and visible top-bar cluster order tidied. No new modules, no new test
targets, no capture/placement behavior change.

- [x] **Single-row button faces:** keybinding micro sub-row removed from `ActionBarSlot`
  (and `bindingHeight`/`minSplitHeight` removed from `ActionBarSpec`); buttons now show
  only the short label. Toolbar height 40→28 px.
- [x] **Keybinding in hover tooltip:** tooltip now renders "`phrase — binding`" when the
  action is bound, bare phrase when unbound (live binding via `kbd_getTextFromCmd`).
- [x] **Cancel RT moved into overflow menu:** the More (⋯) popup now lists four entries —
  Batch Items / Batch Razor / Capture RT / Cancel RT. The visible top bar no longer has a
  Cancel RT button.
- [x] **Visible top-bar cluster order:** Capture Item · Capture Track · Re-capture · Insert ·
  Insert Conform (cluster order: Capture → Maintenance → Placement).

**Notes/decisions:**
- Icons were considered and deferred (not implemented in this pass).
