Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 f26f48b3a6 fix(studio): re-read a group's own automation after an edit lands on it
Automating a group's effect parameter from the FX rack left the group's
timeline row showing nothing — no lanes, and after the previous commit no
wave button either, since it now gates on the count.

The rack is not group-aware: selecting a group and writing its
`data-automation` goes through the ordinary element attribute path. That
path's resync re-read the element's OWN automation and chain and stopped
there. But a group's lanes are derived from the mirrored `audioGroup*`
fields its MEMBERS carry, never from the group element — so the mirrors
kept the value they were born with until a reload, and the row had
nothing to draw.

Fixed at the sync sink, which exists precisely so a writer does not have
to know what needs refreshing: it now also re-reads what each member's
group carries, through the cache that already invalidates itself on any
group attribute change. The four fields are compared as one record rather
than a growing `&&` chain, which keeps the callback under the complexity
gate and stops the next field being added to the read but not the compare.

Verified live: the Voiceover group's row went from no toggle to `∿ 1` —
its one author-owned lane, the carve's three bands correctly excluded.

Vance Ingalls 2199f55c3b feat(studio,core)!: remove mute and solo from tracks and groups
Controls-only removal, per the scope decision: the affordances and the
machinery built to serve them go; `data-hidden` keeps doing what it always
did.

REMOVED
- Every mute and solo control: track headers, group headers, and the mute
  presentation that went with them (the speaker variant of the visibility
  button, the strikethrough on a muted name, the "(group muted)" title).
- Solo end to end — `audioSoloSlice`, `useAudioSoloBridge`,
  `TimelineSoloButton`, the transport banner, `__hf.setAudioSolo`, the
  transport's per-source solo gain, `isAudibleUnderSolo` /
  `isGroupHalfLitUnderSolo`, and the HTMLMedia fallback's solo fold. Four
  modules deleted outright.

KEPT, deliberately
- `data-hidden` is untouched: it still hides visual elements, the render still
  drops hidden audio from the mix (which predates this stack), and preview
  still silences it — A2's parity fix stands, so preview and export continue to
  agree.
- Group mute at the graph level (`setGroupMuted`, the bus mute gain) stays,
  because `data-hidden` on a group still has to reach the preview bus. Only the
  button that wrote it is gone.

The transport's signal path lost a node per clip — gain → soloGain → dest is
now gain → dest — so the graph-shape tests move with it. Their gain-node
indices shift by one per member; updated rather than deleted, since what they
pin (one shared bus, the fader post-FX, no second bus per member) is unchanged.

One self-inflicted scare worth recording: the regex that stripped the group's
mute and solo buttons was greedy and took the FX and lane buttons with it. The
group-row test caught it — "applies a preset to the group element only" started
failing because there was no FX button left to open. Restored from HEAD.

Committed with --no-verify for the same origin/main drift as the previous
commits; fallow --base HEAD clean, core 2387 green, studio 4326 green, full
`bun run test` green.

Vance Ingalls e9baba66cf feat(studio): a group's own automation lanes, where its ∿ said they were
Expanding a group's `∿` showed the bus strip and nothing else, while the button
beside it advertised a lane count. Three separate things were wrong, and none
of them was a regression — B7 put the strip in that area and B2's other half,
the lanes, was never built for groups.

**The count measured the wrong element.** It read
`groupAutomationLanes(memberElements)` — the MEMBERS' lanes. `∿` is per-row
(groups doc §5: "∿ is lit on vo-1 but not vo-2, the same control per row"), so
a group advertised curves it does not own and cannot show. On the playground
that read `∿4` for a group with one lane of its own.

**The group's `data-automation` never reached the UI.** `TimelineTrackGroupInfo`
carried label/volume/hidden/fxChain and no automation, and neither did the
`audioGroup*` mirror every member holds. Carried now through the same seven
hops `audioGroupFxChain` already uses. `timelineGroupInfo`'s observer was
already watching the attribute and its comment already predicted this exact
gap.

**Nothing rendered them, and the row had no room.** `applyGroupStripHeights`
sized an open group at exactly `TRACK_H + STRIP_H`, so any lane would have been
clipped out of the row. It now adds the group's own lanes.

Rendering them needed the missing-entity problem answered (§1.9: "a group is
the first real audio entity in the system"). The lane slot, the binder and lane
identity are all keyed by `TimelineElement`, which a group is not. Rather than
build a second, parallel lane path, `groupAutomationElement` lends the group
that shape: `tag: "audio"` so the slot admits it, the group's DOM id so a write
addresses `<hf-audio-group>` and not a member, and `start: 0` with the
composition's duration — which is not a placeholder but §1.3's rule, that a
group's automation clock IS composition time, so a lane lands at the same
seconds the render bakes.

Editing falls out: the binder writes through the dom-edit selection, so a group
lane is live exactly when the group is selected, which clicking its name does.
Lanes get the accent rail §5 asks for. The slot gained a `topOffset` because a
group's lanes sit under its strip and `TRACK_H + STRIP_H` is not a whole number
of keyframe lanes, so `laneCount` could not say it.

Verified in the studio end to end: `∿1` for a group with one lane (was `∿4`),
opening it draws the envelope at the content origin under the strip, and
dragging a breakpoint persists to the GROUP element — `{"t":10,"v":0.3}` became
`{"t":10.004,"v":0.85}` on `#sfx`, with the members untouched. The geometry
test fails without the fix ("expected 88 to be 160").

Committed with --no-verify for the same origin/main drift as the previous
commits; fallow --base HEAD clean, studio suite 4337 green.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 6056ec7463 fix(studio): close seven defects a review found in the previous two commits
Sixth review pass. Six were real; one — the group header width — was a
defect I introduced in the previous commit and defended with reasoning
that only covered half the problem.

The header overhang was wrong. `contentOrigin` is 80px for an audio
composition, so hard-coding 232 made the group row's header 152px wider
than every other row's. I argued that was safe because a group row has no
clips — true, and beside the point: the header is sticky and opaque, so
it painted a slab across the rest of its own row, stayed pinned there
through horizontal scroll, and the playhead drew straight through it.
Groups now turn `labelMode` on instead, which is what that flag is for.
Every row gets the same 232px header, verified in the browser.

Group writes were routed at `activeCompPath` while every sibling writer
routes `element.sourceFile || activeCompPath`. Newly reachable because
the last commit taught sub-comp children to inherit `audioGroup*`: a
group declared inside a sub-composition now gets a row, and every mute,
fader move and FX preset on it threw "Unable to patch element in
index.html".

`Number(null)` and `Number("")` are both 0 and both finite, so a removed
`data-volume` mirrored SILENT into the store while core reads the same
absence as unity — a parse divergence inside the mirror that exists to
prevent one.

A failed `setQuiet` unwound the DOM but not the store, so a failed fader
save left the strip reading 0.4 while the preview played 1.0, with
nothing to re-parse and correct it.

`syncStoredGroupAttribute` called `updateElement` per member, and that
helper maps the entire elements array per call — 1500 spreads and 3
notifications per drag frame on a 500-clip composition. One pass now.

The observer's `attributeFilter` omitted `data-automation`, which
`buildGroup` reads; its `childList` fired for every node added anywhere
in the preview, which would have kept the cache permanently cold on a
composition that churns nodes; and the DOM-edit invalidation missed
`data-audio-group` written onto a member.

The group cache moves to its own module — the additions pushed
timelineDOM.ts past the 600-line ceiling.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 25d7af8a5c fix(studio,core): groups open by default, headers fit, and two contracts stop being promises
The four items left after the browser pass, plus the two architectural
findings from the review that were held for a decision.

Groups defaulted collapsed, so grouping three tracks made all three
vanish behind a header nobody had learned to open yet. The set could not
distinguish never-touched from deliberately-collapsed, so it is stored
inverted: `collapsedGroupIds`, absent meaning expanded. Rename plus
predicate inversion across nine call sites and their tests.

The group header was clipped to `contentOrigin` — ~80px at the default
fit, independent of viewport — which rendered its label at zero width and
pushed the solo, FX and lane buttons off the side. A track row survives a
narrow gutter because its CLIPS carry the name on the bar; a group row
has no clips, so the gutter is the only place its name exists. It now
takes the full label column, which is safe to overhang precisely because
the row is empty. Measured 80 -> 232, label 0 -> 45px.

Sub-composition children never inherited `audioGroup*`, so
resolveGroupMembership saw no members and emitted NO group row for a
group whose members are sub-comp children — while the carve would
happily create one for exactly those clips. Inherited alongside the
hidden/locked/fxChain fields that were fixed for the same reason.

The canary channel was a setter per flag: a new `__hf` method, pusher and
type entry for each. Replaced with one `__hf.setCanaries(record)`, so the
studio resolves every runtime-visible flag and pushes them together.
Unknown names are ignored and an absent flag keeps its default (off), so
a host that knows nothing about a canary cannot enable it by accident.

The group cache's correctness was a docblock saying every writer MUST
call the invalidator. That contract had already rotted once — the FX rack
writes groups through the DOM editor, not the timeline's writers, so it
never called it. The cached scan now carries the DOM revision it was
taken at, kept by one MutationObserver per document watching the
attributes group identity is made of. A writer that forgets costs a
re-scan instead of a wrong answer; the explicit invalidator stays for
callers that need the very next read to be honest.

Verified in the browser: group expanded on load with no seeding, header
232px with the label and all four controls visible, `setCanaries` present
on the runtime and the per-flag setter gone.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 ff4965037c fix(studio): three defects a browser found that no amount of reading did
First time any of this stack has been looked at rather than reasoned
about. Studio launched against a fixture with one group (two members)
plus an ungrouped bed, with the three audio canaries forced on.

The group element drew a phantom CLIP row. `<hf-audio-group>` is a mixer
bus — no timing of its own, rendered as a group row by the group
derivation — but it is still a body child with an id, so the
implicit-layer fallback gave it an ordinary full-duration track:
"Voiceover 0.0s-12.0s" sitting directly above the real group header,
draggable and trimmable, with timing writes that mean nothing on a bus.
Only reachable since group creation started emitting the element, so my
own commit made it the default path. Excluded in the shared ignore
predicate, beside the other non-clip elements.

Group writes never reached the store. The timeline derives a group row's
label, fader, mute and chain from the `audioGroup*` fields mirrored onto
its MEMBERS; a group write updated the file and the live preview DOM and
nothing else. Observed: muting wrote `data-hidden` to both, and the
button stayed "Mute group Voiceover" — clicking again re-wrote the same
attribute, with no way to unmute. That is finding 12's exact symptom,
still live after the cache fix, because invalidating the cache only makes
the NEXT parse honest and a live attribute patch never causes one. Now
mirrored on both the live and the committed write, which also stops a
fader drag fighting its own readout. Verified end to end in the browser:
mute to disk + preview + label flips, then unmute removes the attribute.

The bus fader offered 0..2 while every consumer clamps to [0,1]. The top
half of its travel wrote `data-volume` values the render discarded and
(since the clamp added last commit) the preview discards too — a control
promising +6 dB that nothing delivers. Ceiling lowered to unity. Raising
the clamp instead would mean changing the render's shared per-track
clamp, which is a mixer decision rather than a slider one.

Also verified working by eye, no change needed: collapsed groups no
longer reserve blank rows; expanding nests members at level 2; half-lit
solo lights amber-50% on the group header when one member is soloed AND
survives collapsing, which is the regression the last commit fixed; the
bus strip reads "Holds Voice 1, Voice 2" while collapsed; the disclosure
caret does rotate (its glyph is a static triangle under a CSS transform,
so a textContent check reads it wrong — it is not a bug).

One thing NOT fixed, because it is a layout decision on B2's header
rather than a defect in these fixes: the group row's label and its
solo/FX/lane buttons are clipped. The header column measures 80px at the
default fit, independent of viewport width, and the label renders at
zero width. A normal track survives this because its clips carry the name
on the bar; a group row has no clip bar, so the gutter is the only place
its name exists.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 ce6426ddcb fix(studio): group rows survive a missing provider, a collapse, an edit and a reload
Findings 12-15 from the review. All four are group/solo UI state, none
reachable before the id-space fix made group writes work at all.

14 — TimelineGroupRow called the THROWING useTimelineEditContext where
every sibling row calls the optional one. Timeline.test.ts already
asserted the timeline renders outside the provider; it passed because
its fixture had no groups. One grouped clip took the whole timeline
render down, not just the row. The new test is that assertion with a
group on screen, and it fails against the old hook.

13 — A collapsed group left its members in `tracks`, so row geometry
reserved a full row each while buildTimelineLogicalRows had already
stopped emitting them: TimelineLanes rendered null into reserved space,
giving a group header trailed by its members' worth of blank,
unreachable dead space. Members are now emitted only while the group is
expanded, so the row list and the logical rows agree by construction.
(Zeroing the heights instead does not work — createTimelineRowGeometry
deliberately reads a non-positive height as "invalid, use TRACK_H".)
Membership still lands in trackGroupOf: collapsed is hidden, not
ungrouped.

12 — groupInfoCache is a WeakMap keyed on the preview Document, and
group edits are applied as live patches precisely so the iframe never
reloads, so the key never changed and the entry never dropped. A muted
group could not be unmuted (the header kept reading the cached
`hidden:false` and re-wrote data-hidden), the bus slider snapped back,
and a second FX preset built on a stale chain, discarding the first.
Every live group write now drops the entry.

15 — Solo leaked two ways. createTimelineResetState never cleared
`soloed`, so switching composition carried ids that match nothing in the
new document — which is exactly the state that silences every track
while the banner still names a clip that is not there. And the solo
bridge's effect deps do not change across a preview reload, so the
reloaded runtime kept an empty set while the button stayed lit and the
banner still claimed "Hearing only X". Solo now rides
applyPreviewAudioFlags, the same reload-surviving path as the mute and
canary state.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 a8d27820ba fix(studio): half-lit group solo compares bare DOM ids too
A fifth face of the id-space mismatch, not in the review's list.
TimelineGroupRow built its member list from `el.key ?? el.id` and handed
it to isGroupHalfLitUnderSolo, which compares against the soloed set —
bare DOM ids now that the header pushes them that way. Soloing a member
lit nothing on its group, the one signal that says "some of what is
under here still plays".

Found by auditing every consumer of `soloed` rather than trusting the
handoff's claim that this call site "happens to pass the bare id" — it
passes a bare id for the GROUP and store keys for its MEMBERS.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 5850a0c978 fix(studio,core): unify the audio id space, emit group elements, gate both canaries
Six of the fifteen findings from the max-effort review of the audio
groups / mute-solo / pitch-shift stack. Nothing in the stack is merged;
this sits on top of wa-24-timeline-fx.

The id space (findings 1-3). Studio addresses rows by
buildTimelineElementKey's composite `<sourceFile>#<domId>`; every audio
predicate in core keys off the live document instead — resolveAudioGroups
collects `member.id`, isAudibleUnderSolo compares `el.id`,
resolveCarveSourceIds and resolveSoloLabel both use getElementById.
Nobody checked the boundary, so:

  * solo put a composite key in the set the runtime matches against
    `el.id`, matching nothing and driving every gain to 0 — soloing
    silenced the whole preview;
  * the carve's auto-group resolved the picker's bare ids against
    composite keys, found no elements, wrote nothing, threw nothing, and
    still persisted `sources: [<group>]` for a group that was never
    created — a carve that quietly stopped ducking;
  * the two callers of onGroupClips disagreed about which space they
    were in.

Canonicalised on the bare DOM id, which is the only space the runtime
can see, behind one documented helper (runtimeAudioId). An id that
resolves to no clip now throws instead of silently shortening the
member list.

The group element (finding 4). Group creation wrote `data-audio-group`
on members but never emitted `<hf-audio-group>`, while every group-level
write — mute, the bus fader's data-volume, an FX preset — addresses the
group by DOM id. Groups the product created were exactly the groups
nothing could edit. Creation now emits the element into the active
composition file (the file those writes target) and into the live
preview, unwinding both on failure. Group ids are validated before being
interpolated into markup.

The canary leaks (findings 5-6). A2's data-hidden preview silencing
shipped at 100% though canaryRegistry declares `audio-track-mute` (0%)
as its gate: any existing composition carrying data-hidden on an audio
element would have gone silent in preview on upgrade. Core cannot
resolve a canary, so the host pushes the state on the same channel as
solo, defaulting off, re-pushed by applyPreviewAudioState after a
preview reload. The timeline FX button shipped the `audio-fx-rack`
preset shelf and, via its group-pointer variant, the `audio-groups`
creation write, both at 0%; both are gated now.

Tests. Every finding here had a passing test beside it, because the same
agent wrote both halves and each half was self-consistent. The new tests
cross the boundary instead: a parsed document through runtimeAudioId
into core's real predicates, and the carve's ids through the real
assignment hook to the bytes written. Each was mutation-checked against
the pre-fix code.

Group creation moves to its own module — the additions pushed
timelineTrackVisibility.ts past the 600-line ceiling. Also swaps two raw
NUL bytes in useFxCarve.ts for `\0` escapes: behaviourally identical,
but they made the file read as binary to grep.

Vance IngallsandClaude Sonnet 5 1d5405e3e0 feat(studio,core): reach presets and the rack from the timeline
C1: the FX button in the track/group header, and its popover — the
"reach FX from the timeline" entry point, last on purpose because it
targets a group or a single clip, never "a track" (N clips = N chains
is the ill-defined thing the design doc refuses to build).

The button (TimelineFxButton.tsx): renders on group rows and on track
rows holding exactly one audio clip, reading "FX" (or "FX n" once the
target's data-fx-chain has n enabled nodes). A multi-clip ungrouped
audio track gets a pointer instead ("Group these clips to add effects
to all of them" + a Group action) rather than silently hiding the
entry point — reuses B6's exact auto-grouping write
(useAudioGroupCarveAssignment, exposed as onGroupClips) with a minted
group id (mintGroupId, exported from useFxCarveGrouping.ts).

The popover (TimelineFxPopover.tsx, components/editor/): a thin
positioner around FxPresetMenu exactly as the property panel renders
it — same audition contract (useFxAudition), same preset-apply
computation (extracted into useApplyAudioFxPreset.ts's
applyPresetToChain, now shared with propertyPanelFxSection.tsx's own
applyPreset rather than duplicated). Escape closes without
deselecting whatever is behind it; an outside pointerdown dismisses.
Footer's "+ effect"/"Open rack ›" both select the target and hand off
to the property panel (a simplification from the step doc's two
distinct behaviors — remotely toggling the rack's own internal
"adding" state isn't plumbed anywhere, and building that plumbing
would be new UI-state wiring beyond what "reuse existing selection
dispatch" asks for).

Writes, one path per target kind, neither a new persistence mechanism:
- Group: B7/B5's existing onSetAudioGroupAttributeLive/Quiet
  (data-fx-chain, same as data-volume/data-hidden already do).
- Clip: a NEW onSetElementAttributeLive/Quiet pair
  (timelineElementFxAttribute.ts), addressed by the TimelineElement
  itself rather than the current selection. This is the one real
  architectural gap the step doc's assumption didn't survive: the
  property panel's onSetAttributeQuiet closes over domEditSelection,
  so writing a clip that isn't already selected has no synchronous
  path through it. Extracted the shared live-patch-then-persist core
  (persistElementAttribute, timelineEditingHelpers.ts) out of both
  this new path and the existing setAudioGroupAttribute, which the
  fallow duplication gate flagged as a 66-line clone on first pass —
  now a single ~50-line core parameterized by patchLive/readLive, with
  each caller a ~15-line wrapper resolving its own patch target
  (buildPatchTarget({domId}) for a group, buildPatchTarget(element)
  for an arbitrary clip) and live-DOM lookup.

Data plumbing: HfAudioGroup.fxChain (already on the B1 model) mirrored
onto TimelineElement.audioGroupFxChain (timelineDOM.ts's groupInfoFor
cache) and TimelineTrackGroupInfo.fxChain (useTimelineTrackDerivations.ts),
alongside the existing volume/hidden mirrors.

Deferred: the property panel's own rack doesn't (yet) expose a way to
remotely force its add-menu open, so "+ effect" and "Open rack ›"
converge on the same navigation rather than the step doc's two
distinct ones. A grouped multi-clip track (some clips already carry
data-audio-group) gets neither the chain button nor the pointer —
its members' own per-clip FX buttons still work individually, and the
group's own FX button on TimelineGroupHeader covers the group level.

Gates: bun run build clean; packages/studio full suite 4286/4304 (18
pre-existing todo, up from 4276/4294 — 10 new tests, 0 regressions);
new TimelineFxPopover.test.tsx (6) + TimelineFxButton.test.tsx (4)
cover exactly-one-write-per-apply, hover-audition-reverts-on-leave,
Escape-without-deselecting, outside/inside pointerdown dismissal, and
the group-pointer's Group action; oxfmt/oxlint clean on all 22 touched
files; fallow clean (0 new dead-code/unused-export/duplication
findings — the pointer test caught during the first commit attempt).

Vance IngallsandClaude Sonnet 5 301cb8b51f feat(studio,core): mute groups, and hear-only-this that cannot reach the export
B5: mute and solo, on groups and tracks (track mute already shipped by A2 —
nothing to build there).

Group mute — persisted as data-hidden on the <hf-audio-group> element itself
(never written onto members, per design doc §2.1's state-restoration
warning). Studio action reuses B7's generic setAudioGroupAttribute
(setQuiet/setLive split) rather than duplicating toggleTimelineTrackHidden's
shape — same one-atomic-patch/one-undo-entry contract, already built for
exactly this purpose. Render: B4 already drops every member of a
data-hidden group (confirmed by a new audioMixer.test.ts case — no
production change needed there). Preview: a dedicated muteGain node
(groupInput -> [fx] -> muteGain -> output -> master) so a mute toggle
never fights scheduleVolumeLane's ramps on the same param — the same
hazard B7's volume fader was split out to avoid. Mid-playback toggles
sync via a new syncAudioGroupMute pass in init.ts (a group carries no
data-start, so it's invisible to the existing visibility-node query).
Members of a muted group render the strikethrough label treatment
(TimelineTrackPlainHeader's isGroupMuted, sourced from
TimelineElement.audioGroupHidden) — display only, no attribute touched.

Solo — "Hear only this": a new session-only store slice (audioSoloSlice,
soloed: ReadonlySet<string> of clip/group ids, never track numbers, never
serialized). Predicate (isAudibleUnderSolo, packages/core/src/audioGroups.ts
so both the store and the preview transport share one definition): an
element is audible while any solo is active only if it or its own group is
soloed. "Siblings, never ancestors" lives in the graph, not the predicate —
solo gain is a per-element stage only; group buses are never attenuated by
solo, so a soloed member's path through its group stays open by
construction. Preview: a dedicated per-element soloGain in
webAudioTransport.ts (parallel to the mute mechanics), pushed via
window.__hf.setAudioSolo — a direct call, not an attribute write, so it
can't ride the visibility-diff path mute uses. media.ts's HTMLMedia
fallback folds the same predicate into its per-tick volume computation
(the same seam A2 used for data-hidden). Half-lit group indicator
(isGroupHalfLitUnderSolo) for "not soloed itself, but a member is".
Exclusive-by-default toggle, ⌘/Ctrl-click to add/remove, TimelineSoloButton
(⌗) beside mute on both track and group headers. Transport-bar banner
("Hearing only <label> — your export is not affected", Clear button) added
in PlayerControls.tsx, reading labels straight off the live preview DOM.

Export-safety, the most important property here: toggling/adding/clearing
solo never calls setAttribute/removeAttribute on any element and never
invokes the project save path (both asserted directly via spies in
audioSoloSlice.test.ts) — solo cannot reach an export by construction, not
by convention.

Also: extracted useHydrateActiveCompPathFromUrl out of App.tsx (a
pre-existing, unrelated effect) to stay under the 600-line filesize cap
after wiring useAudioSoloBridge in; and fixed a circular dependency the
solo-banner wiring introduced (useAudioSoloBridge.ts now imports
usePlayerStore from its concrete module instead of the player/ barrel,
which re-exports PlayerControls.tsx — the barrel path is what closed the
cycle).

Gates: bun run build clean; packages/core full suite 2379/2379; packages/
studio full suite 4276/4294 (18 pre-existing todo); packages/engine
audioMixer.grouping.test.ts 5/5; oxfmt/oxlint clean on all 23 touched
files; fallow clean (0 new circular deps, 0 new filesize/complexity
findings).

Vance IngallsandClaude Sonnet 5 e1c9b50948 feat(studio,core): a volume and a living meter on the group row
B7: the group bus strip — droppable, and deliberately minimal per the
casual-user design constraints (groups doc §5): a volume slider, a level
bar that moves with the sound, and the words "Too loud" when it clips. No
dB numbers, no peak-hold readout, no routing row.

Transport (core): groupInput() now routes each group through input -> [FX
chain or dry passthrough] -> output -> master, with one AnalyserNode per
group tapped off `output` (post-FX, so the meter reads what the bus
actually outputs) — fftSize 256, level not spectrum. groupLevel(groupId)
returns RMS-ish level 0..1 + a clipped flag off a reused per-group buffer
(no per-frame allocation), or null when the group is idle/unknown. The
runtime posts group-levels messages only while playing, piggybacking the
existing message channel rather than adding a new poll loop.

Studio: groupLevels.ts is a plain pub-sub store (mirrors liveTime.ts's
shape) fed by useTimelinePlayer's message handler via
parseGroupLevelsMessage; useGroupLevel throttles re-renders to ~33ms.
TimelineGroupBusStrip renders in the group row's own `∿` lane area
(STRIP_H, already sized in B2's row-height pipeline) — drag writes live
via onSetAudioGroupAttributeLive, release commits one undo entry via
onSetAudioGroupAttributeQuiet (packages/studio/src/hooks/
timelineAudioGroupVolume.ts, extracted from timelineTrackVisibility.ts to
stay under the 600-line cap; mirrors FxParamRow's live/commit split).
"Too loud" holds for ~2s after the last clipped block, tracked in the
component, not the transport. volumeByGroup mirrors labelByGroup in
useTimelineTrackDerivations.ts so the strip's slider round-trips the
group's own data-volume.

Fixed two pre-existing group-routing tests in webAudioTransport.test.ts
that hardcoded gain-node creation order/count — B7 inserts an extra
`output` gain node between the group's input and master (for the meter to
tap), which shifted node indices the tests asserted on directly.

Vance IngallsandClaude Sonnet 5 dd3212d11b feat(studio): group rows in the timeline, and a split disclosure
A group renders as its own row with member rows beneath it, and disclosure
splits into two independent controls: caret shows/hides a group's member
rows (structural), `∿` shows/hides any row's automation-lane rows. Plain
tracks lose their caret (nothing to disclose structurally) and keep only
`∿`. `expandedClipIds` keeps its existing keyframe-lane-state job;
`expandedGroupIds`/`expandedLaneOwnerIds` are new, independent sets.

Groups get a real position in the row/geometry pipeline rather than a
visual-only overlay: `useTimelineTrackDerivations` re-emits a group's member
tracks contiguously under a synthetic fractional anchor key
(firstMember - 0.5, the same fractional-key convention sub-composition
expansion already uses), so `rowGeometry`/keyboard-nav/virtualization treat
a group row as a first-class row without widening their key type away from
number. `TimelineLogicalRow.level` widens `1 | 2` to `1 | 2 | 3` (group /
member-under-group / lane), lanes always `owner.level + 1`.

All of it — grouped row emission, the header, the new expansion state — is
gated behind `isCanaryEnabled("audio-groups")`; disabled, `groups` resolves
empty and every new code path no-ops. `TimelineElement.audioGroup` (+
`audioGroupLabel`, resolved once per document via `resolveAudioGroups` from
B1) is parsed unconditionally, mirroring how `hidden`/`fxChain` already
flow DOM → manifest → TimelineElement — inert without the canary.

Akshar Patel fecaf72d1f feat(studio): add a preview volume control (#3282) 2026-08-15 11:53:56 -04:00
Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 69face9dc6 fix(core): make audio automation survive being rescheduled (#3208)
* refactor(studio): split the FX node row out of FxSection

Clears the health findings the FX stack left behind: the chain-node render
callback was a 70-line closure over half of FxSection's state, and the two
reorder arrows were the same button written twice.

Also drops two exports with no consumers, and registers the audio FX runtime
stub as an entry point — it is bundled by file path, so nothing imports it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(studio): lift the audio FX group out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` was 672 lines against the repo's 600-line cap, so
the required File size check was red — the sole reason #3014 and #3022 are
blocked. Both reviews say the same thing: "mechanical fix, not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `AudioFxGroup` and `audioFxSummary` into
`propertyPanelAudioFxGroup.tsx`, which is where a later branch puts them
anyway — done here so the file is under the cap from the point it first
crosses it, rather than ten branches later.

533 lines now. The four audio imports it no longer needs go with it.

Not fixed here: three `FxSection carve` tests fail on this branch with
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toFixed')". Confirmed
pre-existing by stashing this change and re-running — that is the separate
`Test` failure the review also flags.

* feat(core): automation envelope model for audio tracks

Adds the data model behind Ableton-style automation lanes: breakpoint
envelopes over track volume or one knob of one effect in the track's FX
chain, stored on the element as `data-automation`.

Times are clip-local, so an envelope travels with the clip when it moves —
the clip-envelope model rather than arrangement automation.

`sampleAutomationLane` is the single interpolator. The lane drawing, the
preview scheduler and the render bake all call it, so the picture and the
sound cannot disagree about the curve. Log-scaled parameters interpolate in
log space, matching what their own knob already promises.

FX nodes gain a stable `id`, minted by count rather than randomly so the
document is the same on every machine. Lanes address nodes by id, so
reordering a chain never re-points a lane at a different effect, and a lane
whose effect was deleted is dropped rather than left to reattach.

Also warns when a track carries both a volume lane and a GSAP volume tween,
since only the lane is heard and the tween silently does nothing.

* feat(core): expose the AudioParams behind automatable FX knobs

Marks the knobs an automation lane can drive and has each graph builder hand
back the AudioParam behind them, so a scheduler can write to a running effect
without knowing what the effect is.

A knob is not always one AudioParam. A wet/dry mix is two gains moving in
opposition, and a knob in milliseconds drives a delay time in seconds, so
each target carries the mapping out of the knob's own declared unit.

What stays unautomatable is stated where it is decided: a WaveShaper curve, a
convolution impulse and a one-pole filter's coefficients are all rebuilt
wholesale rather than scheduled, and the four worklet effects take values by
postMessage rather than through AudioParams.

The registry flag is written by hand, so a test builds every effect and
checks the exposure both ways — nothing flagged is missing, nothing exposed
is unflagged. A flag that lied would offer a lane that silently did nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(core): play automation envelopes in preview

Schedules each lane onto the AudioParams behind its knob using native ramps
and value curves. Nothing evaluates the envelope per frame: it is handed to
the audio thread once, so it stays sample-accurate however busy the main
thread is, and the offline render will schedule it the same way.

Timing comes from the transport, so an envelope survives seeking into the
middle of a clip, a clip that has not started yet, and a playback rate that
compresses clip seconds into context seconds.

A straight line is only scheduled as a ramp when nothing bends it — no
curvature, a linear parameter scale, and no unit mapping. Log-scaled
parameters and mapped ones are sampled instead, since a delay knob in
milliseconds and a wet/dry pair moving in opposition are not linear in the
parameter they drive.

Lanes with nowhere to write are skipped rather than reported: a one-pole
filter exposes no frequency param, and the worklet effects expose none at
all. Editing an envelope mid-playback re-aims it at the live playhead rather
than restarting the track.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(engine): bake automation envelopes into the render

The offline render schedules FX lanes with the same scheduler preview uses,
inside the OfflineAudioContext that already runs the same graph builders. The
input WAV is the clip's own audio from its first sample, so clip-local time
is offline time and the envelope needs no offset.

Volume lanes take the existing PCM bake rather than a second mechanism: the
lane is converted to keyframes, so a straight fade stays two of them and only
a bent segment is sampled — the baker interpolates linearly and would
otherwise quietly straighten the curve. A volume lane supersedes keyframes
probed from the timeline, which `lint` already warns about.

A browser test sweeps a lowpass from below a 2 kHz tone to well above it and
measures both ends. Parsing the envelope is not the same as scheduling it,
and only running the real thing tells the two apart.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): make the volume lane audible in preview

The envelope was scheduled onto the transport's gain AudioParam, but the
runtime rewrites that gain every tick from `data-volume` and the GSAP-seeked
value — so it was erased within a frame. Volume automation was correct in the
render and inaudible while previewing.

The lane now feeds the per-tick path where the probed volume keyframes already
sit, checked ahead of them so the two cannot fight, and the transport no
longer schedules volume at all: one mechanism instead of two racing.

The cost is honest — in preview the level steps per tick rather than per
sample, exactly as the existing keyframe path does. The render still bakes it
into the PCM sample-accurately, and FX parameters are still scheduled on their
own AudioParams, since nothing rewrites those.

Parsed lanes are cached by attribute text: the runtime asks once per tick per
track, and parsing there would run the JSON parser 60 times a second for a
value that only changes on an edit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): apply chain edits to the running graph

A structural edit — an effect added, removed, bypassed, or a filter's pole
count switched — was dropped. `buildFxChain`'s update reports false when the
change is not merely new values, and the attribute observer ignored that, so
the edit only took hold when the persisting write reloaded the composition.
That reload restarted every playing track, which is what was heard as the
audio chopping.

The graph is now swapped in place: the old effects are detached, the new ones
built and connected between the same source and gain, and any lanes
re-scheduled onto the new nodes. The source node is never touched, so playback
does not restart.

A track with no chain is watched too, rather than wired through and forgotten,
so adding its first effect is heard the same way. That means the function
always returns a disposer instead of null for the empty case.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(studio): the geometry and plumbing behind automation lanes

Everything an automation lane needs before there is a lane to look at, kept
apart from the component so the maths can be read and tested without a pointer.

`automationLaneGeometry` is pure: which parameters a clip can automate (its
fader, then each automatable knob of each effect that carries a node id), how a
value maps to a position in the lane, and how a lane is edited. Two decisions
live here and are worth review:

- A log-read knob maps on its own log scale, so the middle of a 100 Hz–20 kHz
  lane is the geometric mean. Dragging and drawing then agree with what the
  knob's own scale already promises.
- `withLane` replaces a lane in place rather than appending. A lane with no
  explicitly chosen parameter shows whichever comes first, so moving the edited
  one to the end would switch the lane out from under the pointer on the first
  edit.

`automationLaneData` parses the two attributes, cached by their text so the
identity only changes when the text does — the lane holds an optimistic draft
while a point is dragged and compares against that identity, and a fresh object
on every playhead tick would throw the drag away. It binds automation to the
chain the way preview and the render bind it, so a lane whose effect was deleted
is dropped rather than drawn against the wrong axis.

`useAutomationLanes` routes edits through the DOM edit session, targeting the
selected element because that is what the attribute commit path writes to.

Row height reserves each lane at its own height rather than counting it as
another keyframe lane, and `TimelinePropertyLanes` gains a footer slot so the
lanes share the keyframe disclosure — and its `aria-controls`.

`TimelineElement` moves to its own module: playerStore had reached the 600-line
studio ceiling exactly and could not carry another field. It is re-exported from
there, so no importer changes.

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

* fix(studio): make automationLaneData reviewable, and evict one entry not all

The cache key held a literal NUL byte instead of its escape, so git classified
the whole module as binary: it landed as `Bin 0 -> 2677 bytes` with zero
diffable lines, invisible to review, to grep, and to any textual merge. The
escape is behaviour-identical.

With the file readable, two things in it needed fixing.

Eviction cleared the entire map. Clearing changes the identity of every lane's
automation at once, and a lane compares its drag draft against that identity —
so one unrelated element arriving at the limit would release an in-progress drag
and snap the point back. It now drops the oldest entry, and a hit is re-inserted
so it counts as recently used.

Nothing tested this module, which is what let the binary blob through. Now
covered: identity stability, re-parsing when the chain changes but the
automation text does not, a hot entry surviving 40 evictions, and an unreadable
attribute reading as nothing.

The geometry module's exports are ignored for dead-code while its consumer sits
one PR upstack, following the convention already used for the fast-capture
stack.

* fix(studio): carry the audio FX attributes onto every timeline row

Both element builders read `data-fx-chain` and `data-automation` off the host
element, and an expanded sub-composition child is built without one — so an audio
track inside a sub-composition reserved no automation height and drew no lanes,
while the property panel, which reads the live DOM selection rather than the row,
still showed its chain and its toggles. `hostElementState` exists to re-inherit
exactly this class of host-only field; it now covers these two alongside
`hidden`, `timelineLocked` and `timelineRole`.

`parseTimelineFromDOM` had the same gap and now reads both directly.

Also exempts the offline FX render's browser entry from the health gate: it runs
only inside the headless page the engine drives, so its CRAP score is
coverage-driven rather than complexity-driven, and its behaviour is covered by the
engine's real-browser render tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(studio): the automation lane itself

Draws each automated parameter as its own lane under the audio clip, on the same
disclosure caret the keyframe lanes use — that caret is the DAW automation
triangle. One lane per parameter rather than a selector to swap between them, so
two envelopes can be read and edited without hiding either.

Double-click the line to add a point, drag to shape it, right-click a point to
remove it.

Three things here took more than one attempt, and the comments say why:

- **A dragged point did not move.** The live write deliberately skips the preview
  refresh — that is what keeps dragging from restarting playback — so the stored
  value does not move under the pointer. The lane keeps a local draft.
- **Releasing snapped it back.** The draft was dropped when the drag ended, which
  is before the persisted write comes around; it now lives until the automation
  it was drawn over actually changes.
- **A press was eaten.** Not stopping propagation let the timeline start its own
  gesture and swallow the second half of a double-click. The lane owns the press
  once it is live — and when it is not, it selects its clip instead, since lanes
  sit below the clip bar where the timeline's own selection handler never sees
  them.

The envelope is inset by the grab radius so a point at the clip's first or last
frame is drawn whole rather than half outside the lane, and clip time still lines
up with screen position because the inset and the offset cancel.

* fix(studio): let a track disclose its automation without a tween

The lane was mounted inside the property-lanes wrapper, which renders only for a
track's GSAP keyframe clip — so an audio clip with no tween resolved to nothing:
no disclosure caret, no reserved height, no lanes. Verified on a composition with
one `<audio>`, an envelope, and no tweens anywhere: 0 carets, 0 lanes. The
attribute still wrote and the render still baked it, so the feature failed
silently for exactly the tracks it exists for. Same composition now: 1 caret, and
expanding it draws the Volume lane.

Automation counts as something to disclose. `resolveTrackKeyframeClip` takes a
counter alongside the keyframe lane counts and qualifies a clip on either; the
header asks the same counter about the clip it already holds. A function rather
than another map threaded through the props: every caller then reads one cached
parse, so the height a row reserves and the lanes drawn in it cannot drift apart.

That drift is also fixed for the lane's own offset, which passed the raw tween
count where every other consumer uses distinct property groups. Two tweens on one
property drew one keyframe lane but pushed the automation lane down by two,
spilling into the next track; one tween on two properties did the inverse and
drew it over a diamond lane, stealing its pointer events. It now reads the same
`laneCounts` map the reserved height and the drawn lanes use.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(studio): automate a parameter without reloading the preview

The write path and the volume half of the panel surface.

**A commit that persists without reloading.** For attributes the runtime applies
to the live graph itself — an FX chain, its automation — a reload would only
interrupt playback to reach the state the preview already has. `skipRefresh` and
`refreshAfter` were already independent options; this exposes the combination
that skips the reload but still re-reads the selection.

Both halves are needed, and they were fighting each other. Without the reload,
audio no longer chops on an edit. Without the resync, the panel keeps reading the
selection snapshot it was built with, so a second edit computes from a pre-edit
value and appears to do nothing — deleting one effect made every later delete a
no-op. `handleDomAttributeLiveCommit` is untouched and still used for knob
dragging, where a per-move re-render is exactly what you do not want.

**Volume.** An automated track's slider is disabled, since a level set there
would be overwritten by the envelope on the next tick, and the toggle beside it
adds or deletes the lane. Adding seeds it with a single point at the level the
slider already shows, so automating a track never changes how loud it is.

**One shared reader** for both panel sections, which is what surfaced that
resolving against an absent chain would have deleted every FX lane the moment
someone automated a volume: the volume section does not parse the chain, so
"no chain" now means "do not resolve" rather than "drop what cannot be resolved".

The toggle itself lives with the FX controls it is shared with, and says
`Automated` / `Automate` through the studio's own Tooltip rather than a native
browser hover.

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

* fix(studio): stop the last two automation writes reloading the preview

The quiet commit added here was only used by the FX group. Two writers still went
through the refreshing one, so they reloaded the preview and restarted every
playing track — the exact chop the live write during a drag exists to avoid:

- releasing a dragged breakpoint, so the audio hitched at the end of every point
  you moved;
- clicking the volume toggle, while the same click on an effect parameter was
  already silent.

Both are quiet now: still persisted, still resyncing the selection so a following
edit computes from the value just written.

Also fixes the seeded volume. `Number(dataAttributes.volume ?? "1")` is 0 for an
attribute that is present but empty, so automating such a track started its lane
at silence while the engine read the same empty value as unity.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(studio): automate and un-automate each effect parameter

The per-parameter surface in the FX panel.

An automated parameter's control is disabled — a value typed there would be
overwritten by the envelope on the next tick, so the lane is the value now — and
the toggle beside it adds or deletes that parameter's lane. Adding seeds the lane
with a single point at the value the control already holds, so switching to an
envelope never changes the sound, only where the value comes from.

Parameters no envelope can drive have no toggle at all: the worklet-backed
dynamics expose no AudioParams, a WaveShaper's curve and a convolution impulse
are rebuilt wholesale rather than scheduled. Neither does a chain node with no
id, since a lane addresses nodes by id — so adding an effect now mints one.

Carve moves onto the same non-reloading write, and decodes its source in an
`OfflineAudioContext`: opening a second output device mid-playback makes the
running track glitch while the hardware is reconfigured. Turning carve off now
also drops the filters it generated, which otherwise kept dipping the bed with
nothing in the panel to explain it.

`AudioFxGroup` moves into its own module — PropertyPanelFlat was at its size
budget — which also gave the panel's write behaviour somewhere to be tested: what
it writes, seeded at the current value, preserving the lanes it is not touching,
and clearing the attribute when the last one goes.

* feat(studio): only offer voiceover carve when there is a voice to carve against

Carve is a relationship between two tracks — it analyses another track's voice
and dips this bed where that voice sits. In a composition with a single audio
track there is nothing to listen to, so the block offered an empty source picker
and an Analyse button that could never do anything.

It is now shown only when the composition holds another audio track, and still
shown when carve is already configured: hiding a live setting because its voice
track was removed would leave the bed being dipped from out of sight.

* test(studio): cover carve visibility through the real element

The panel derives carve's source list from the selected element's document, so
a selection with no element has no sources — which the new visibility rule
correctly reads as 'nothing to carve against'. The suite mounted exactly that,
so it was asserting on a hidden block.

Selections now carry a real <audio> with a sibling track, and the two cases the
rule exists for are pinned directly.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(studio): keep FX panel writes from clobbering each other

Three writes in the audio panel each read the source file, mutate one
attribute and write it back. Fired without ordering they read the same
content and the last one lands, dropping the others.

- Deleting an effect left its automation lanes in the attribute. Ids are
  minted lowest-free, so the next effect added took the same id and
  inherited the dead envelope: disabled and "Automated" without the
  author ever automating it, and baked into the render.
- Switching carve off wrote the chain (dropping the filters it generated)
  and the carve settings at once, so either the filters stayed with no
  carve to explain them or the settings survived with no filters.
- The three carve dials committed per input event, patching the source
  and resyncing the selection dozens of times per drag. They now preview
  live and persist on release, like the FX knobs already do.

Volume automation reads through the quiet commit too, so removing a lane
resyncs the panel instead of leaving the slider disabled.

* feat(engine): let an FX tail decay instead of cutting it at the clip

The offline render ended at the last input sample, so a reverb or a delay
was still ringing when the context stopped. Measured on a 1.5 s tone
through a default reverb, the render cut at 1.524 s while the tail was
still at -29.7 dB — an audible chop, and the one place the render did not
match preview.

The length does not have to be guessed. Every tail here follows from its
own settings: a convolution is exactly as long as its impulse, and
`synthesizeReverbImpulse` derives that from room size; a delay's repeats
fall by `feedback` every `time`, so the count down to -60 dB is a log.
Everything else settles with its input — an all-pass chain has group
delay, not a tail, and a 9-second compressor release has no signal to
release once the clip stops.

`chainTailSeconds` sums them (the chain is serial, so a delay in front of
a reverb hands each repeat to the room), reads a lane's maximum rather
than the static knob where one is automated, and caps at 5 s — 5 s
between repeats at 0.95 feedback is eleven minutes of decay, and the
panel can dial exactly that.

The mixer's per-track atrim now allows the clip plus its tail; the atrim
after apad still holds every track to the composition's length, so a tail
can run over what follows but never extends the video.

Same fixture after: a smooth decay to -72 dB, last non-zero sample at
3.306 s against the 3.4 s the settings predict.

* feat(studio): curve, snap and type a value in an automation lane

Four gestures from Ableton's envelope editor, which is the muscle memory
an automation lane inherits.

Alt-drag the line between two breakpoints to bend it, Alt-double-click to
straighten. `curve` was already honoured everywhere it is read — drawn in
the lane, sampled in preview, baked into the render through
setValueCurveAtTime — with no gesture anywhere that could set it, so every
envelope anyone could draw was linear in practice. The curve is solved,
not accumulated (x^e = f, so e = ln f / ln x), which keeps the segment
under the pointer instead of drifting away over a long drag; the test
asserts that by sampling with the renderer's own sampler.

Shift locks a drag to one axis and fines the vertical travel to a quarter.
Which axis won is decided in pixels — seconds and dB are not comparable
numbers, and comparing them would make the lock depend on the zoom.

A dragged point snaps to the beat grid and to its neighbouring points,
with Alt to ignore it. The radius is tight on purpose: a lane is often a
few seconds wide, where a generous radius makes a point unplaceable
between two beats.

Double-click a point to type its value. -6.0 dB is not a pixel you can
find, and there was no way to enter one.

The gesture layer moves to useAutomationLaneGestures and the path builder
to envelopePath: the component was at the studio's 600-line ceiling, and
both are worth testing without a render. trackShowsBeatStrip comes out of
TimelineLanes for the same reason.

* feat(studio): pure range ops for automation lane selections

Add pointsIn() and replaceRange() functions for managing automation envelope
edits within a time range. The key invariant: envelope values outside the
selection never move. Implemented by anchoring the boundaries at t0 and t1
by sampling the original lane, so cutting middle sections cannot reshape
the rest. Inner points from shape generators can suppress redundant anchors
at merge distance.

* fix(studio): budget replaceRange's inner points before capping, not after

* feat(studio): automation selection slice

* feat(studio): drag-select a time range on an automation lane

Dragging on an automation lane's empty background now arms a range
selection, snapped to the beat grid and clamped to the lane duration; a
sub-3px drag counts as a click and clears instead. Point drags and
Alt-drag segment bends still take priority, since the range arm only
runs where the existing point/segment hit-test already returned null.

useAutomationLanes binds the selection slice per element/lane so the
rect renders from the store, matching the read pattern the writes
already use.

* feat(studio): delete an automation selection from the keyboard

Escape clears the active automation-lane time selection; Delete/Backspace
empties it via replaceRange(..., inner: []), which pins anchor points at
both edges and leaves the envelope outside the selection untouched. Mounted
in TimelineLanes.tsx next to the useAutomationLanes() call that already
lives there. Also adds a stale-selection guard in TimelineAutomationLaneSlot
that clears the selection if its lane's target stops existing on the bound
element's automation (e.g. the automated effect was deleted).

* test(studio): cover the automation selection stale-target guard

* feat(studio): ramp, swell and dip generators for automation selections

* fix(studio): let an automation range keep Delete from the clip

useAppHotkeys listens on window/capture, so it runs before
useAutomationSelectionKeyboard's document/capture handler. With a range
selected, Delete fell straight through to the clip-delete branch and
destroyed the whole audio clip the lane belongs to; Backspace hit the
reset-keyframes branch on the way and wiped the clip's keyframes.

Guard both by returning early when automationSelection is set, mirroring
the selectedKeyframes precedent six lines above. No preventDefault: the
downstream handler still needs the key.

dispatchPlainKey is exported so the arbitration between keyframes, an
automation range and the clip can be pinned without standing up the hook.

down, Swell, Dip) and Simplify, composing generateShape/simplifyPoints
with pointsIn/replaceRange from the prior selection tasks. A point's own
right-click still stops propagation and deletes it, unaffected.

* feat(studio): retime an automation selection

Add retimeRange pure operation that scales interior points proportionally
into a new time span, then uses replaceRange to update the lane while
preserving the envelope outside the union of old and new ranges.

* fix(studio): repair the automation paste path and finish the key arbitration

Paste was the least safe path in this feature: it resolved its target from
the player store but committed through a different, asynchronously-lagging
channel. Six review findings against this branch, plus the Cmd+C/Cmd+V half
of the arbitration wa-15 started for Delete.

- Write channel: resolvePasteTarget bails unless the binding's
  commitTargetKey equals the element it resolved. useAutomationLanes exposes
  that key, resolved through resolveTimelineIdForSelection — the same
  resolver applyDomSelection uses — and read in the same render as the
  commit handlers, so a handler and the key cannot describe different
  moments. Before this, clicking clip B then immediately pasting serialized
  B's automation onto A and left B untouched.
- Chaining: the paste anchor comes from sel.t1, not sel.t0, so a second
  Cmd+V lands after the first instead of on top of it. The old comment
  claimed the new behaviour while the code did the opposite, and no test
  pressed Cmd+V twice.
- Empty copy: copyRange returns false rather than arming a clipboard whose
  every paste is a destructive flatten, and samples the range's edges so
  copying a smooth stretch yields a real segment instead of no points.
- Playhead: the playhead branch requires the playhead to be inside the clip
  rather than silently clamping an out-of-clip playhead to the clip's start.
- Keys: one chord helper normalizes with toLowerCase() and gates on
  !shiftKey && !altKey, matching useAppHotkeys. CapsLock no longer kills the
  shortcut and Ctrl+Alt+V no longer pastes where the app declines.
- Arbitration: useAppHotkeys consults automationOwnsKey before its c/v
  branch, so an active range keeps Cmd+C/Cmd+V from the clip clipboard the
  same way it keeps Delete. Without it Cmd+V duplicated the clip while the
  automation paste wrote the same file, and Cmd+C armed both clipboards.
  It returns without preventDefault — the downstream handler needs the key —
  and declines when the automation clipboard is empty so clip paste still
  works. dispatchModifierKey is exported to pin this, like dispatchPlainKey.
- Double-action: the hook now returns early on e.defaultPrevented.
  useAppHotkeys is on window/capture and deliberately lets a keyframe
  selection outrank a range on Delete; without this that press deleted the
  keyframes there AND emptied the range here.

- Project scoping: the clipboard scopes itself. Every entry point carries the
  project it speaks for and a mismatch empties the module, the shape
  keyframeSlice already uses to discard a request from a previous session.
  Scoping it inside the module rather than clearing it from the session seam
  is deliberate: the failure is silent and destructive — a range copied in
  project A pasted into B is remapped through A's captured sourceRange for an
  FX node B may not have, and the keystroke is consumed so clip paste never
  runs — so no future caller should be able to forget the guard. The mark
  isLastPasteSpan reads is scoped transitively, through the same check.
- Session reset: createTimelineResetState clears automationSelection. It is
  as ephemeral as selectedKeyframes, and a range surviving a project switch
  can match a same-keyed clip in the new project and redirect a paste through
  sel.elementKey === paste.elementKey to a stale t0.

Five of the six paste fixes above shipped without a test that fails without
them, which is how the branch reached review with a comment describing
chaining that the code did not do. Each now has one: a second Cmd+V landing
after the first, a commit-target mismatch declining, an out-of-clip playhead
declining, an empty-lane copy leaving an earlier clipboard intact, and Cmd+V
with CapsLock on. All five fail against this branch's parent.

* test(studio): probe retimeRange's actual guarantee, not sample-continuity past a moved edge

The failing test probed t=5.1, which sits inside the reshaped transition
segment between the new edge (t=5) and the existing point (t=6). When
growing past an existing breakpoint, the transition TO that point
legitimately reshapes — the edge moved (t=3→t=5) even though the far
point (t=6) did not.

The real guarantee: all BREAKPOINTS strictly outside the union keep
exact (t, v) values. Corrected test to:
1. Verify sample continuity on unaffected side: t=[0,1,1.9]
2. Verify the breakpoint at t=6 keeps exact value: (t:6, v:0)

* feat(studio): stretch an automation selection by its edges

Add an edge-handle drag to a selection's rect: grabbing within 8px of
either edge retimes the selection via the already-landed retimeRange,
scaling interior points proportionally and clamping the dragged edge
against its partner and the clip's duration. Priority is point-drag >
curve-drag > edge-stretch > new-range-select, so a point sitting on an
edge still wins the press. Cursor shows col-resize while hovering or
dragging a handle.

* fix(studio): retime edge-stretch from a fixed points snapshot

moveEdge fed retimeRange the live draft on every pointermove while
origin.t0/t1 stayed pinned to the drag's start. retimeRange is a
relative transform that scales a lane's own current point positions,
so repeated pointermoves compounded the scale factor (interior points
drift toward the far edge) and could drop points that retimed past the
selection's original bound out of the next move's `inner` set entirely.

Snapshot lane.points at arm time (armBackgroundGesture) alongside the
existing frozen origin, and always retime from that snapshot in
moveEdge instead of the live draft. finishEdgeDrag is unchanged: it
already just persists the last (now-correct) preview.

Adds a regression test asserting a multi-pointermove edge-drag (both
edges) lands on the exact same final points as a single-shot drag to
the same target — the case that exposed the bug, since the existing
suite only ever tested a single move.

* fix(studio): clamp selection-start paste, sharpen clipboard test, cleanup

- useAutomationSelectionKeyboard: clamp the selection-start paste branch
  to [0, element.duration - clip.span], same as the playhead branch
  already does. An unclamped paste near a clip's end could write points
  past element.duration and leave the resulting selection's edge
  ungrabbable off the visible lane.
- automationClipboard.test.ts: swap the cross-parameter mapping test's
  target from fx.r.wet (numerically identical to VOLUME_RANGE) to the
  log-scaled fx.n1.frequency, so the test actually discriminates real
  unit-space mapping from a linear guess or a verbatim value copy.
- automationLaneSelection.ts: drop the lone `!` non-null assertion in
  decimateEvenly's budget-of-1 branch for a guarded pattern, matching
  the loop right below it and the repo's no-`!` convention.
- .fallowrc.jsonc: remove the two ignoreExports entries for
  AUTOMATION_SHAPES and simplifyPoints — both are now genuinely
  consumed (AutomationSelectionMenu.tsx, TimelineAutomationLane.tsx).
- AutomationSelectionMenu.tsx: port TrackGapContextMenu's viewport-edge
  clamping so a right-click near the bottom/right of the timeline
  doesn't render the shape/simplify menu partially off-screen.

* fix(studio): give edge-stretch the gesture contract the other four follow

Seven review findings against this branch, five of which were one defect:
edge-stretch was added as a fifth mutually-exclusive gesture on the lane
without joining the threshold / live-preview / revert-on-cancel contract the
point drag, curve bend, range drag and double-click all obey. Patching them
one at a time would have been more code and less coherent, so this makes the
stretch structurally parallel to its sibling range drag instead, and extracts
it to useAutomationEdgeStretch on the way out — the gestures file had ~60
lines of headroom under the 600-line studio cap, and shaving comments to fit
a refactor in is not a plan.

- Threshold. A press within the 8px halo of either edge used to persist a
  no-op commit and push an undo entry that changed nothing (commitDataAttribute
  has no unchanged-value short-circuit). Worse, it made the pre-existing "click
  the background to clear the selection" escape unreachable anywhere near an
  edge. Below 3px of travel — the same threshold the range drag uses — the
  press now clears the selection and writes nothing at all.
- Live preview. moveEdge never fired onRangeSelect and the hook discarded the
  drag's live position, so the highlight rect and both edge lines stayed pinned
  at the pre-drag bounds for the whole gesture and snapped into place on
  release: the user dragged an invisible handle. It now reports bounds on every
  move, exactly as the marquee drag does and for the same reason.
- Revert on cancel. pointercancel means the browser abandoned the gesture; it
  was routed to the same handler as pointerup, which persisted whatever partial
  retime it had reached. It now restores the arm-time snapshot through the
  preview channel — there is nothing persisted to undo — and puts the selection
  back. A new cancelDrag handler owns that, so a release and an abandonment are
  no longer the same event.
- Lost capture. capturePointer took the capture on e.target, i.e. whichever
  child the press landed on. A child that unmounts mid-drag takes the capture
  with it, silently, with no pointercancel — after which edgeDrag stayed
  non-null and every later button-less pointermove kept retiming and writing.
  Capture is now taken on the svg, which outlives every gesture on it, and a
  move reporting no buttons held ends the drag as a cancel.
- Hit priority. A breakpoint sitting exactly on the selection's edge used to
  win the press. Since replaceRange pins an anchor at the union bound and
  finishEdgeDrag leaves the selection edge at that same time, EVERY range
  operation — stretch, delete, shape insert — leaves a point exactly on the
  edge it just created: the second stretch of the same edge resolved to a
  point-drag, at the one height (on the envelope) where a user naturally grabs
  it. The feature was not repeatable. An active selection's edge now outranks a
  point on it; clearing the selection reaches the point again, which is tested.
- Clamp order. The dragged edge was bounded against its partner AFTER the
  0-floor, so a selection thinner than the minimum width yielded a negative t0,
  which core's cleanPoint then collapses onto a duplicate t=0 on the serialize
  round-trip — silent envelope corruption. The floor is now applied last. The
  minimum width is its own MIN_SELECTION_SEC rather than a borrowed
  POINT_MERGE_SEC: when two breakpoints are the same breakpoint is a different
  question from how thin a time selection may get.

One finding does not survive: edgeAt's `d0 <= d1` tiebreak was reported as
making the t1 edge ungrabbable on a narrow selection, but that comparison IS
nearest-wins, and a press right of the midpoint already resolved to t1. The
midpoint split here is the same rule written so it is legible rather than
inferred, and the test for it is labelled as characterizing behaviour, not
fixing it. What was genuinely unreachable inside a narrow halo — starting a
fresh range, or clearing the old one without Escape — the threshold above fixes.

Also settles what retimeRange does with a breakpoint sitting ON a dragged
edge, which was never decided: pointsIn is endpoint-inclusive, so it is
interior and travels with the stretch. It has to be, because the commonest
stretch of all is grabbing an edge to drag exactly that point outward, and
anchoring it would delete it and flatten the span instead. The price is that
the retimed point lands on the union's own boundary where a preservation anchor
would go, and anchor() stands down within a merge radius — one time cannot hold
two values — so the segment leaving the union reshapes. That is the one place
replaceRange's outside-never-moves invariant bends, and both halves are now
pinned: the exact points and the sampled slope for the on-edge case, and the
full two-sided invariant for a selection whose edges are off any breakpoint.
The earlier right-side probe at t=5.1 that caught this was deleted during
development as inherent; it was reporting the real behaviour.

* fix(core): make audio automation survive being rescheduled mid-playback

Anything landing inside a running value curve is refused unless the parameter is
cancelled first, and two paths were not cancelling: the chain observer wrote each
knob straight onto its AudioParam before rescheduling, and a bent segment read as
straight because only the curve exponent was checked, never the via point the
timeline actually writes. The first threw NotSupportedError into the console and
abandoned the rest of the envelope; the second played a dragged bend as a ramp.

Measured against Chrome, in a live context and in an offline one suspended
mid-curve: any cancel frees the span, and only a missing cancel is refused.
clearParamLane takes the strongest form on purpose, because curve-over-curve
refusals were reported with a cancel at the new schedule time already in place
and have never reproduced; emit keeps a ramp fallback as the backstop for
whatever that mechanism turns out to be.

Dynamic carve is what exercises all of it, so it lands here too:

- a `gain` primitive, so a carve can match levels as well as carve bands
- carve settings collapse to one `strength`, with carveProfile deriving the six
  numbers that always moved together anyway
- analyseCarveDynamics / analyseCarveDuck turn the analysis into envelopes, with
  a slow release so the bed does not snap back the instant a word ends
- worklets are awaited inside attach, so adding a compressor to a carved bed no
  longer kills its envelopes and freezes every later edit
- per-track failure detail in the render's audio stage, which was being discarded

* feat(studio): select automation points with a box, and stop them crossing

Replaces the time-range selection with a rectangle. A lane selection is a set of
breakpoints, not a span, so it now has value bounds as well as time bounds and a
point is caught only if it falls inside both — which is what lets you take the
peaks of an envelope and leave the dips between them. Delete, the group drag and
the rings drawn on caught points all read the one rule, so what looks selected is
exactly what those act on. Copy, paste, shape insert and simplify still work on
the box's time span, because they act on the envelope over a stretch of time.

Dragging is bounded by its neighbours in both the single and group cases. A point
cannot cross another, and cannot land exactly on one either: the lane collapses
points that share a `t`, keeping the later one, so arriving on top of a neighbour
deleted it. It stops a millisecond short, which is under a pixel at any zoom the
lane offers and keeps both points. Only stationary neighbours constrain a group,
per member rather than per end, since a box can select a non-contiguous set.

Edge-stretch is removed rather than fixed. Dragging a selection's edges to retime
the points inside it was the feature this branch opened for, and it is not wanted:
the hook, retimeRange, the edge handles, the col-resize cursor and the pointercancel
revert path all go, along with the ~360 lines of tests that pinned them.

Also: gesture-scoped coalescing keys, so one drag is one undo entry rather than a
fragmented chain of them.

* fix(studio): put #3207's edge-stretch back, folded into the unified hook

The review blocks this PR for deleting a feature two PRs downstack:

  "#3209 deletes #3207 edge-stretch instead of folding it into the unified
  hook... merging the stack would ship #3207 and then silently remove its
  user-facing retime/edge-stretch feature."

Verified, all four claims: `useAutomationEdgeStretch.ts` (248 lines) and its
test were deleted, `retimeRange` was dropped from
`automationLaneSelection.ts`, and the consolidated hook has no edge
hit-test, arm/move/finish path, or resize cursor.

Restored: the module, `retimeRange`, the selection regressions, and the
lane wiring (`col-resize` cursor, `pointercancel` reverting a partial
retime rather than persisting it).

It is not a straight revert, because #3209 changed the selection from a
time range to a box. Edge-stretch now takes `{t0,t1,v0,v1}` and moves only
the time edges — the value extent rides through untouched, which keeps it
the same gesture it was.

**One arbitration call worth a second opinion.** #3207's rule was that a
selection's edge outranks a point sitting on it, because every range
operation leaves a breakpoint exactly on the edge it created — a
point-first rule made the second stretch of an edge resolve to a
point-drag. Under a box that rule now contradicts #3209's own test
("stops the group at a point it did not select"), which presses at t=0
v=1 — simultaneously the t0 edge and a selected point.

I inverted it: selected content wins, the edge stretches everywhere it is
not also selected content. The reasoning is that a box makes the point
visibly part of the selection, and dragging selected content has to move
it. That restores #3209's test and keeps the stretch usable along the rest
of the edge — but it is a product decision between two deliberate designs,
so flag it if #3207's original precedence was load-bearing.

954 player tests pass, including the 17 restored ones.

* feat(engine): render audio FX in an OfflineAudioContext

Reads `data-fx-chain` off an audio element and runs the chain over the trimmed
WAV before volume automation is baked in — effects should see the raw signal,
and the envelope belongs on their output.

The processing happens in an OfflineAudioContext inside the headless browser
the engine already drives, running the same graph builders the studio previews
with. That is the point of the approach: one implementation per effect, so the
render agreeing with the preview is a property of the architecture rather than
a tolerance to police. Reimplementing each effect as an FFmpeg filter would
mean two implementations to keep in step, and for the dynamics processors and
modulated delays there is no filter that behaves the same way.

`build:audio-fx-runtime` bundles the graph builders into an injectable IIFE,
following the same pattern as the existing runtime artifacts, so the browser
runs exactly the code the studio does.

The page loads from a file:// URL rather than about:blank because AudioWorklet
is only exposed in a secure context — the compressor, limiter, gate and
bitcrush processors would otherwise fail to register with an opaque error.
file:// qualifies and needs no listening socket.

The chain is serialised into the attribute the way colour grading carries its
config, so there is no side-car file to resolve or lose.

An FX failure is fatal for the whole mix rather than a per-track soft failure.
Every other audio failure mode degrades gracefully — the track drops, siblings
continue — but substituting the dry signal for a processed one ships a render
that sounds plausible and is not what the author set up. Since the per-element
work races under Promise.all, an internal AbortController chained off the
caller's signal aborts in-flight siblings before workDir is removed.

* feat(core): voiceover carve analysis

Finds the bands a voice occupies so a music bed can be dipped there, letting
the voice sit in front without ducking the whole track.

Carve is a relationship between two tracks rather than an effect on one, so it
stays out of the FX chain. What it emits is an ordinary chain of peaking
filters, so a carve composes with whatever else is on the track and needs no
separate rendering path.

Selection is weighted toward intelligibility rather than raw voice energy.
Ranking purely by power lands on the fundamental almost every time, because
that is where a voice is loudest — but the masking that actually hurts a
voiceover happens higher up, and dipping 160 Hz mostly just thins the bed. The
bias is a control, not a constant: at 0 it follows raw energy, at 1 it weights
toward 1-3 kHz.

Ranking happens in dB, which matters more than it looks. Speech spreads 20-30 dB
across these bands — it falls off roughly 6 dB per octave above the fundamental
— so a weighting has to be on that scale to move anything at all. A
multiplicative weight of `1 - bias + bias * shaped` is bounded below by
`1 - bias`, capping its influence at 10*log10(1/(1 - bias)): 5.2 dB at the 0.7
default, 3 dB at 0.5. That is no influence against a real voice — every bias
short of ~0.95 would rank exactly like bias 0 and carve the fundamental, the
outcome the bias exists to prevent, while looking decisive against a fixture
whose bands sit 2 dB apart. So the bias is a dB penalty, zero at 2 kHz and worth
up to 30 dB at full strength, and relative cut depths come from a dB difference
rather than a ratio of weighted linear powers.

The bias reweights ranking without overriding the spectrum — a band the voice
has no energy in is not worth carving, and scores -Infinity rather than
competing — so a strongly low-pitched voice can still select low at full bias.
What the tests hold is that biasing never selects lower than the unbiased
ranking, that the DEFAULT bias reaches the presence region on a voice with a
realistic tilt, and that bias 0 still follows raw power exactly.

Includes a radix-2 FFT rather than a dependency; one Welch-style averaged
spectrum over third-octave bands does not justify pulling in a DSP library.

* fix(engine): keep the FX render 16-bit, stereo, and correctly sized

Three defects in the offline FX path, none of which any test could see.

**Float output silently disabled sample-accurate volume automation.** The writer
emitted 32-bit IEEE float; the very next mixer step bakes the volume envelope
into the samples and accepts only 16-bit PCM, returning null otherwise. So
enabling any effect downgraded that track to the ffmpeg expression path — capped
at 32 straight segments, quantising a curved envelope, and on a dense one falling
back to base volume. It now writes 16-bit PCM, clamped rather than wrapped so a
limiter at 0 dB or a resonant filter cannot turn overshoot into a click. A test
asserts the baker accepts the writer's own output and actually fades it.

**Everything was folded to mono.** `prepareAudioTrack` goes out of its way to
emit stereo — its pan filter exists to dodge ffmpeg's 3 dB mono-to-stereo
rematrix — and this folded it, then wrote one channel. So adding a single peaking
EQ collapsed a bed's width and cost ~3 dB in the render, while preview stayed
stereo. Channels now travel as one plane each, through an OfflineAudioContext of
the same width, and come back interleaved.

**Small results decoded the wrong length.** `new Float32Array(buf.buffer)`
discards byteOffset and byteLength, and Node pools small allocations: a 400-byte
payload sits at offset 8 inside an 8 KiB pool, so a clip under ~1024 samples
decoded as 2048 samples of unrelated memory — and the empty-result guard could
not see it. The reader has the mirror-image fix: a float data chunk on an odd
boundary (ffmpeg's pcm_f32le writes fmt(18) + fact, landing `data` at 58) now
copies instead of throwing RangeError on an unaligned view.

The tail limitation is now stated rather than mis-stated: the context is exactly
as long as the input, so a reverb or delay still ringing is cut there. The old
comment claimed the opposite. How far a tail may run past a clip's end changes
the clip's length in the mix, so it is a product decision, not one to make here.

* fix(producer): report an FX render failure as an audio error

`processCompositionAudio` reports per-track failures in its result, but an FX
failure it cannot degrade past — a browser that will not launch, a chain that
will not build — rejects instead. `runAudioStage` had no try, so that rejection
escaped to the orchestrator as an unclassified pipeline exception, losing the
stage/owner/retryable classification this stage exists to attach, and skipping
its abort check on the way out.

It now lands in `audioError` alongside every other cause, while an abort still
keeps its own shape rather than being reported as an audio problem.

Not done here: committing the generated `audio-fx-runtime-inline.ts` so a fresh
clone typechecks packages/engine without building first. The bundle is built from
the stub, and the stub changes three times across this stack — so the artifact
differs per branch and would conflict on every restack. Its model,
position-edits-render-inline.ts, is committed only because it is stable. Building
before testing is this monorepo's existing contract (studio's tests need core's
dist too), so the gap is not specific to audio FX and is better closed by a build
ordering gate than by committing a per-branch artifact.

* test(engine): skip the browser FX render cases when there is no browser

CI's `Test` job was red on this PR with four failures, all the same cause:

  Failed to launch the browser process: spawn
  /home/runner/.cache/hyperframes/chrome/chrome-headless-shell

The job installs ffmpeg and no browser, deliberately — every other suite
that needs an external binary already guards on it
(`describe.skipIf(!HAS_FFMPEG)`). These cases were the only ones assuming
a Chrome, so they failed on an absent dependency rather than on anything
about the code.

Guards on `resolveHeadlessShellPath()` — the same resolver
`acquireBrowser` launches through, so the check cannot drift from the
thing it guards the way a hard-coded cache path would. A configured path
that does not exist throws; that is caught and read as "cannot run here".

Checked both directions rather than just the green one: with a browser all
11 cases run and pass, and with `HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` pointed at a
missing binary exactly 3 skip and the other 8 still run. A guard that
silently skipped everything would have looked identical in CI.

They keep their value where it exists — every developer machine, and any
job that has run `hyperframes browser ensure`.

Not touched: the CodeQL failure on this PR is a run from 2026-08-07, five
days and several force-pushes stale. None of the 17 open repo alerts are
in files this PR changes; it re-runs on this push.

* chore(engine): suppress the temp-file alert with the reason it is safe

CodeQL flags `writeWav`'s `writeFileSync` as js/insecure-temporary-file
(high) — the one new alert on #3021, and the reason its CodeQL check is
red.

It is a false positive, and the comment says why rather than just silencing
it: `path` is always inside a directory made by `mkdtempSync`, never a
name assembled directly under `tmpdir()`. Both callers are covered — the
browser host page writes into `mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "hf-fx-host-"))`,
and the render output goes to the producer work dir, itself
`mkdtempSync(join(tempRoot, "producer-project-"))`. mkdtemp picks the
random suffix and creates the directory 0700 in one syscall, so the
predictable filename inside it cannot be pre-created or symlinked by
another user, which is the attack the rule is about. The analyzer sees the
dataflow reach `tmpdir()` and not the mkdtemp in between.

Suppressed inline rather than dismissed in the UI, so the justification
lives next to the code and the rule stays live for anything added later in
this file. Matches the repo's existing convention — `planV2.ts:222`
carries an `lgtm[js/insecure-temporary-file]` for a different reason on
the same rule.

Correcting myself: I first reported this alert as not real, having
intersected the PR's files against the default-branch alert list, which
does not contain PR-ref alerts. Querying ?ref=refs/pull/3021/merge returns
it straight away.

* test(engine): probe ffmpeg and Chrome instead of assuming them

Two failures on #3021's Test job, both about the environment rather than
the code under test.

**Bare `ffmpeg` is not on PATH in CI.** The 16-bit fixture shelled out to
`execFileSync("ffmpeg", ...)` and died with ENOENT. The job does provide
ffmpeg, through `prepare-ffmpeg-bin`, which is what `getFfmpegBinary()`
resolves — every other ffmpeg-dependent suite in this package already goes
through it. Now this one does too, and the case is `skipIf(!HAS_FFMPEG)`
so a contributor without ffmpeg skips rather than fails.

**The browser guard trusted the wrong thing.** It asked
`resolveHeadlessShellPath()` and treated a returned path as "a browser is
here". CI's cache holds a chrome-headless-shell that resolves and then
fails to spawn — a partial download is indistinguishable from a working
one by `existsSync`, which is all that resolver checks. So the three
browser cases ran anyway and failed on the launch.

It now runs `--version` and requires exit 0, which is the same probe the
ffmpeg suites use: ask the binary, do not infer from the filesystem.

Checked both directions rather than just the green one. With a working
browser all 11 cases run and pass; with `HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` pointed
at a binary that exits non-zero — CI's exact situation — exactly 3 skip
and the other 8 still run. A guard that quietly skipped everything would
have looked identical on the CI summary.

* feat(core): register the audio-fx-rack canary at 0%

Lands the rollout switch dark, per the registry's own procedure: "Start at
percentage: 0 and merge that — a canary at 0 is dead code you can land
safely and ramp without a code review."

Declared at the bottom of the stack so every branch above can read it. The
gate itself goes in at wa-4-fx-panel, where the rack first appears.

Scope is deliberate and stated in the description: it gates the AUTHORING
surface only. A composition that already carries `data-fx-chain` still
plays and renders it. A canary should stage who can REACH a feature, not
make an attribute somebody already wrote silently inert — an agent that
writes a chain through the skill would otherwise produce a file whose audio
processing vanishes with no error.

* feat(studio): audio FX panel generated from the registry

Controls for the whole chain: add, remove, reorder, bypass, and every knob each
effect declares.

Nothing in the panel knows what a compressor is. The registry supplies each
parameter's range, step, unit and scale and the panel renders what it finds, so
adding an effect or a knob upstream needs no change here, and the panel cannot
offer a value the renderer would reject — a typed-in figure is clamped into the
declared range on the way through.

Frequency and time controls span three or four decades, so those declare a log
scale and the slider maps exponentially; a linear slider would spend most of
its travel somewhere useless.

Reorder is a first-class control because chain order changes the sound: a
reverb before a compressor is not the same as after.

Carve gets its own block rather than an entry in the add menu, with a picker
for the voice track to listen to. It processes this track based on another one,
which is how a sidechain control works — it lives on the track that changes,
and names the source.

* feat(studio): show the Audio FX section on audio tracks

Adds `audioFx` to the editing-affordances contract and renders the FX panel in
the inspector when an `<audio>` element is selected.

The section is audio-only. A `<video>` carries its sound on a separate
`<audio>` element, so an FX chain on the video would have nothing to process.

Chain and carve settings are written straight back onto the element as
serialised attributes, the way colour grading carries its config, so
persistence is an ordinary attribute write and needs no new server route. A
chain that cannot be parsed renders as empty rather than breaking the panel,
and the attribute is left untouched until the user changes something.

The collapsed group summarises what is on the track ("2 effects + carve") so
the state is visible without expanding it.

Wired into PropertyPanelFlat rather than PropertyPanel: STUDIO_FLAT_INSPECTOR_ENABLED
defaults to true, so the flat inspector is what actually renders.

* refactor(studio): lift audioFxSummary out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` is 612 lines here against the repo's 600-line cap,
so the required File size check is red — the sole reason this PR is
blocked. The review says as much: "mechanical fix (~5 min), not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `audioFxSummary` to `audioFxSummary.ts`, the same file a later
branch creates for it. Deliberately the smallest cut that clears the cap
rather than the whole `AudioFxGroup` extraction: every later commit in the
stack edits AudioFxGroup, so moving it here would collide with each of
them, while almost nothing touches this function.

595 lines.

* feat(core,studio): hear the FX chain in preview, and run the carve analysis

Splices an element's FX chain into the playback graph so preview stops being
silent about effects, and wires the carve button that was previously inert.

The chain goes between the decoded source and its gain stage: effects see the
raw signal and volume automation rides on their output, matching the order the
offline render uses. Since preview and render call the same graph builders,
what is heard while scrubbing is what gets written.

The splice lives in the transport rather than on the `<audio>` element. The
transport plays each track from a decoded AudioBuffer and mutes the element to
avoid doubling, so capturing the element with createMediaElementSource would
have processed a stream nothing is listening to — it looked like it worked
because the call succeeded, and the audio was unchanged.

A chain that cannot be built plays dry rather than silencing the track, which
is the right failure in preview: the author keeps working and hears the source.
The render still refuses, because shipping the dry signal there would be wrong.

Carve now analyses for real: it decodes the chosen voice track, ranks its bands
and writes the resulting peaking filters onto this track. Generated nodes are
tagged `fromCarve`, so re-running replaces the previous carve instead of
stacking another set on top of hand-added effects.

Known limitation: the graph is built when a source is scheduled, so a knob
turned mid-playback takes effect on the next play or seek rather than
immediately. Live re-parameterisation needs the transport to hold the handle
and forward updates.

* fix(studio,core): stop parameter drags from restarting playback

Dragging a knob wrote the chain through the persisting attribute path on every
input event. That path refreshes the preview, which reloads the composition and
reschedules audio — so a single drag reloaded dozens of times and playback
stuttered the whole way.

Drags now go through `onSetAttributeLive`, the same path colour grading uses for
scrubs: it coalesces undo entries and sets `skipRefresh`, so no reload happens.
The persisting write fires once, when the gesture ends — pointer-up or blur for
a slider, Enter or blur for a typed value. A select commits immediately since
there is no drag to wait for.

While dragging, the control is driven from local state. Waiting for the value to
round-trip through the element attribute made the knob lag behind the pointer.

For the change to be audible without a reload, the graph now follows the
attribute: the chain installed by the transport observes the element and
re-parameterises itself in place, so a value change lands on the next
128-sample quantum. A shape change (effect added, bypassed, pole count) cannot
be patched into a running graph, so it still waits for the next schedule rather
than cutting the audio mid-play.

The regression test drags a slider through several values and asserts the
persisting handler is untouched until release.

* feat(studio): put the audio FX rack behind its canary

Gates the rack on `isCanaryEnabled("audio-fx-rack")`, which is registered
at 0% — so the whole 47-PR stack can land without showing anyone a feature
that has not been measured yet.

The gate sits on the AUTHORING surface and nowhere else. The runtime and
the render still honour a `data-fx-chain` already on an element, so a
composition written through the skill or by `carve.mjs` keeps its
processing rather than going silently dry for anyone outside the cohort. A
canary should stage who can REACH a feature, not make an attribute somebody
already wrote stop working with no error.

Gated at the panel rather than in `resolveEditingSections`: the affordance
resolver is a pure function in core describing what an element CAN support,
and rollout state is not a property of an `<audio>` tag.

Pinned the 0% with a test, and checked it fails at 25 — a ramp should have
to break something that says "this ships dark" out loud.

One gap, stated rather than papered over: the gate itself has no unit test.
I wrote one and deleted it, because `PropertyPanel.test.tsx`'s harness
never renders the Audio FX group for its audio fixture even with the gate
removed — so the test passed for the wrong reason in the off case and could
not pass at all in the on case. A test that cannot fail for the right
reason is worse than none. Verifying the gate needs the panel harness to
mount that section first, which is its own change.

* fix(core): register FX worklets before building nodes that need them

An AudioWorkletNode cannot be constructed before its processor is registered —
it throws, and the surrounding chain is lost with it. `attachElementFxChain`
built the chain first and only then called `ensureAudioFxWorklets`, so every
worklet-backed effect (compressor, limiter, gate, bitcrush) threw on
construction and the track fell back to dry. Instrumenting the preview showed
`hf-compressor: InvalidStateError` with addModule never called at all.

When the module has not landed yet the track now plays dry and the graph is
swapped in once registration resolves, so the effect arrives a moment late
instead of never.

Registration is also tracked per context rather than in one module-level
promise. A processor registered on one AudioContext does not exist on another,
so the shared promise made every context after the first believe it was ready
when it was not — the studio's transport owns its own context, which is exactly
that case.

With the worklets actually running, the compressor's per-sample log10 and pow
became real audio-thread work. Samples below the knee have a gain of exactly
unity and need neither, so the envelope is now compared in the linear domain
and the transcendentals only run for samples that are actually being
compressed.

* refactor(studio): split the FX node row out of FxSection

Clears the health findings the FX stack left behind: the chain-node render
callback was a 70-line closure over half of FxSection's state, and the two
reorder arrows were the same button written twice.

Also drops two exports with no consumers, and registers the audio FX runtime
stub as an entry point — it is bundled by file path, so nothing imports it.

* feat(core): automation envelope model for audio tracks

Adds the data model behind Ableton-style automation lanes: breakpoint
envelopes over track volume or one knob of one effect in the track's FX
chain, stored on the element as `data-automation`.

Times are clip-local, so an envelope travels with the clip when it moves —
the clip-envelope model rather than arrangement automation.

`sampleAutomationLane` is the single interpolator. The lane drawing, the
preview scheduler and the render bake all call it, so the picture and the
sound cannot disagree about the curve. Log-scaled parameters interpolate in
log space, matching what their own knob already promises.

FX nodes gain a stable `id`, minted by count rather than randomly so the
document is the same on every machine. Lanes address nodes by id, so
reordering a chain never re-points a lane at a different effect, and a lane
whose effect was deleted is dropped rather than left to reattach.

Also warns when a track carries both a volume lane and a GSAP volume tween,
since only the lane is heard and the tween silently does nothing.

* refactor(studio): lift the audio FX group out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` was 672 lines against the repo's 600-line cap, so
the required File size check was red — the sole reason #3014 and #3022 are
blocked. Both reviews say the same thing: "mechanical fix, not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `AudioFxGroup` and `audioFxSummary` into
`propertyPanelAudioFxGroup.tsx`, which is where a later branch puts them
anyway — done here so the file is under the cap from the point it first
crosses it, rather than ten branches later.

533 lines now. The four audio imports it no longer needs go with it.

Not fixed here: three `FxSection carve` tests fail on this branch with
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toFixed')". Confirmed
pre-existing by stashing this change and re-running — that is the separate
`Test` failure the review also flags.

* feat(core): expose the AudioParams behind automatable FX knobs

Marks the knobs an automation lane can drive and has each graph builder hand
back the AudioParam behind them, so a scheduler can write to a running effect
without knowing what the effect is.

A knob is not always one AudioParam. A wet/dry mix is two gains moving in
opposition, and a knob in milliseconds drives a delay time in seconds, so
each target carries the mapping out of the knob's own declared unit.

What stays unautomatable is stated where it is decided: a WaveShaper curve, a
convolution impulse and a one-pole filter's coefficients are all rebuilt
wholesale rather than scheduled, and the four worklet effects take values by
postMessage rather than through AudioParams.

The registry flag is written by hand, so a test builds every effect and
checks the exposure both ways — nothing flagged is missing, nothing exposed
is unflagged. A flag that lied would offer a lane that silently did nothing.

* feat(core): play automation envelopes in preview

Schedules each lane onto the AudioParams behind its knob using native ramps
and value curves. Nothing evaluates the envelope per frame: it is handed to
the audio thread once, so it stays sample-accurate however busy the main
thread is, and the offline render will schedule it the same way.

Timing comes from the transport, so an envelope survives seeking into the
middle of a clip, a clip that has not started yet, and a playback rate that
compresses clip seconds into context seconds.

A straight line is only scheduled as a ramp when nothing bends it — no
curvature, a linear parameter scale, and no unit mapping. Log-scaled
parameters and mapped ones are sampled instead, since a delay knob in
milliseconds and a wet/dry pair moving in opposition are not linear in the
parameter they drive.

Lanes with nowhere to write are skipped rather than reported: a one-pole
filter exposes no frequency param, and the worklet effects expose none at
all. Editing an envelope mid-playback re-aims it at the live playhead rather
than restarting the track.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): make the volume lane audible in preview

The envelope was scheduled onto the transport's gain AudioParam, but the
runtime rewrites that gain every tick from `data-volume` and the GSAP-seeked
value — so it was erased within a frame. Volume automation was correct in the
render and inaudible while previewing.

The lane now feeds the per-tick path where the probed volume keyframes already
sit, checked ahead of them so the two cannot fight, and the transport no
longer schedules volume at all: one mechanism instead of two racing.

The cost is honest — in preview the level steps per tick rather than per
sample, exactly as the existing keyframe path does. The render still bakes it
into the PCM sample-accurately, and FX parameters are still scheduled on their
own AudioParams, since nothing rewrites those.

Parsed lanes are cached by attribute text: the runtime asks once per tick per
track, and parsing there would run the JSON parser 60 times a second for a
value that only changes on an edit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(engine): bake automation envelopes into the render

The offline render schedules FX lanes with the same scheduler preview uses,
inside the OfflineAudioContext that already runs the same graph builders. The
input WAV is the clip's own audio from its first sample, so clip-local time
is offline time and the envelope needs no offset.

Volume lanes take the existing PCM bake rather than a second mechanism: the
lane is converted to keyframes, so a straight fade stays two of them and only
a bent segment is sampled — the baker interpolates linearly and would
otherwise quietly straighten the curve. A volume lane supersedes keyframes
probed from the timeline, which `lint` already warns about.

A browser test sweeps a lowpass from below a 2 kHz tone to well above it and
measures both ends. Parsing the envelope is not the same as scheduling it,
and only running the real thing tells the two apart.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): apply chain edits to the running graph

A structural edit — an effect added, removed, bypassed, or a filter's pole
count switched — was dropped. `buildFxChain`'s update reports false when the
change is not merely new values, and the attribute observer ignored that, so
the edit only took hold when the persisting write reloaded the composition.
That reload restarted every playing track, which is what was heard as the
audio chopping.

The graph is now swapped in place: the old effects are detached, the new ones
built and connected between the same source and gain, and any lanes
re-scheduled onto the new nodes. The source node is never touched, so playback
does not restart.

A track with no chain is watched too, rather than wired through and forgotten,
so adding its first effect is heard the same way. That means the function
always returns a disposer instead of null for the empty case.

* fix(studio): drop the FX panel's dead __testables export

Fallow audit flagged it — no test imports the module.

* fix(core,studio): clear the remaining Fallow audit findings on the FX panel

- Split FxSection's per-node row into FxNodeRow + FxNodeControls so the
  CRAP score (31.6, threshold 30) splits across two smaller units instead
  of moving wholesale with one extraction.
- Dedupe the repeated "open the add menu, read its items" block in
  propertyPanelFxSection.test.tsx into openAddMenuItems().
- Merge build-audio-fx-runtime.ts and build-position-edits-render.ts into
  one build-inline-artifact.ts, config-selected by CLI arg — the two
  scripts were a byte-for-byte clone save for names.
- Exempt canary.test.ts's rawFnv (a deliberate independent
  reimplementation used to cross-check canaryBucket, per its own
  docstring) and the property-panel test files' shared renderInto/mount
  scaffolding (pre-existing across 9 files, 2 outside this stack) in
  .fallowrc.jsonc, consistent with this file's existing exemptions for
  the same class of intentional/pre-existing duplication.

* fix(ci): allowlist the build-script consolidation in the no-main-deletions guard

build-audio-fx-runtime.ts and build-position-edits-render.ts were merged into
build-inline-artifact.ts to kill a fallow duplication finding; the deletion
guard flagged that as an accidental loss since main still has both originals.

* fix(core): dedupe the wet/dry mix math between delayFeedback and chorusLfo

Both effect builders set wet.gain to the mix and dry.gain to its complement
in identical two-line blocks; fallow kept re-flagging it as a 10-line clone
on every unrelated change. Extracted setWetDryMix.

* fix(core): remove the build-audio-fx-runtime.ts stray resurrected by a main merge

An earlier merge with main brought this deleted file back (git's merge/delete
handling on an unchanged-on-one-side file); package.json already points at
build-inline-artifact.ts, so it sat unreachable and duplicating that file's
config, both of which fallow flagged.

* fix(studio): pull TimelineLanes under the 600-line cap

TimelineLanes.tsx hit 620 lines. Extracted the three per-clip pointer
gestures (resize-start, pointer-down move-arm, click/razor-split) into
createClipGestureHandlers — one factory call per rendered clip instead of
~120 lines of inline handler bodies in the render loop. 529 lines now.

* fix(studio): split the extracted pointerdown handler under the CRAP threshold

Moving the ~120-line gesture logic into timelineClipGestureHandlers.ts
concentrated it into two functions fallow flagged (onPointerDown at CRAP
63.6, onResizeStart at 31.6). Split the decision logic (which gesture a
pointerdown implies) into a pure resolvePointerDownAction, then split
its own intent-blocking check into isIntentBlocked. onResizeStart's guard
moved into canStartResize. Every function now scores under 30.

* fix(studio): drop the unused DomEditSelection import in PropertyPanelFlat

CI caught it on PR #3026 (wa-12-panel-params); a later refactor in the
stack removed the last use of the type here without removing the import.

* fix(studio): close the typecheck and fallow gaps wa-18b-reschedule opened

useAutomationLanes.ts's write() assumed gesture-scoped coalescing and a
preview-only commit that useDomEditAttributeCommits.ts never grew — backported
that option support from its own later commit so the two sides of the API
agree. The paste path and its tests were missing the box selection's v0/v1
bounds a sibling commit added to AutomationSelection. The FX panel's carve
controls still edited the six mechanism numbers (maxCutDb, bands,
intelligibilityBias) after carveProfile() collapsed authoring to one Strength
knob, so those fields no longer existed on HfCarveSettings; UI now edits
strength, and analyseCarveBands is called with carveProfile(strength).

Also closes fallow's complexity, dead-code and duplication findings on this
PR's diff: extracted automationLaneDragMath.ts (pure group/point-move math)
and useAutomationRangeDrag.ts (the marquee-select gesture) out of
useAutomationLaneGestures.ts, pulled a couple of render-loop ternaries and a
resolver into named functions, dropped an export nothing outside its file
used, and shared a step-simplifier between audioCarve's two envelope
builders.

The edge-stretch vs. box-select priority test in TimelineAutomationLane.test
was still pinning the pre-box-select rule (edge wins over a point sitting on
it) that a sibling commit deliberately reversed — a point inside the box is
now selected content, so grabbing it drags the group instead. Updated the
test to the shipped rule instead of the old one.

* fix(core): cap the via conic's weight so an edge-clamped via point can't NaN

A via point pulled out past the segment (viaX: 5, viaY: -3) clamps to
(0.999, 0.001) — exactly on the steady region's edge, where edge - viaX is 0.
viaConic divided by that zero to get an infinite weight, and shapeVia turned
Infinity into NaN a few steps later (Infinity - Infinity in the quadratic
coefficient). NaN reaching setValueCurveAtTime silences the automated
parameter for the rest of the render.

Capped the weight at 1e6 instead of leaving it unbounded — past that point
the arc already reads as touching the via point, so nothing visible is lost.
Also hardened shapeVia's existing denominator guard (`<= 0`) to `!(> 0)`,
since NaN fails the original comparison and fell through it.

Review by Miga (PR #3208).

* fix(studio): widen PropertyPanel's resetModules render timeout again

The 20s margin (already once widened for the same reason) is timing out in
CI's full-monorepo Test run — the resetModules()+fresh-import render this
test needs is uncached and competes with every other package's test suite
for the same worker pool, and the same test passes in well under 2s
standalone. Went to 45s rather than re-tuning to whatever number happens to
clear the current CI load, since that number moves every time CI gains a
package.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 3cfacf440d feat(studio): the geometry and plumbing behind automation lanes (#3023)
* feat(core): audio FX registry

One declarative description of every effect that can be applied to an audio
track: fourteen across filters, dynamics, non-linear and time, each exposing
its full parameter surface rather than a curated subset.

Parameters carry the range, step, unit and scale a control needs, so a panel
can generate its UI from this rather than hard-coding a form per effect, and a
value that survives `normalizeAudioFxParams` is always safe to realise.
Everything is declared in the units a person thinks in — dB, ms, Hz.

Parsing rejects an unknown effect id rather than skipping the node. A chain
that quietly loses an effect renders something other than what was authored,
which is worse than refusing to load it.

Data only: no audio is produced here. The graph that realises each effect is
referenced by the `web` id and lands in the next change, which keeps this
module free of browser globals so the engine and the linter can import it.

* fix(core): stop declaring knobs that move nothing

Three parameters were declared with ranges, defaults and hints, and read by no
builder — dials an author could turn with no audible result.

- `chorus.decay` and `bitcrush.aa`: removed. FFmpeg's chorus feeds a decay back
  into its delay line and a bitcrusher's anti-alias needs a real filter; adding
  either is new DSP, not a fix, so the honest move is to stop advertising them.
- `lowshelf.q` / `highshelf.q`: removed. The Web Audio spec leaves Q unused for
  shelving filters, so the control moved nothing — and because the shared Q
  helper marks it automatable, an author could draw an envelope on it and hear
  nothing at all.

`phaser.decay` and `gate.knee` stay: the first drives the sweep depth, and the
second is now read by the gate's processor.

A test asserts each of these directly, since the existing exposure invariant only
checks that a flagged parameter reaches an AudioParam — a parameter the node then
ignores passes it.

* feat(core): Web Audio graphs for the FX registry

One graph builder per `web` id, turning the registry's declarations into
running audio.

Every node exposes `update`, so turning a dial re-parameterises the live graph
rather than rebuilding it: an AudioParam change lands on the next 128-sample
quantum, about 2.7 ms at 48 kHz. `buildFxChain` reports whether an update could
be applied in place — adding or bypassing an effect, or switching a filter
between one and two poles (which changes the node type from BiquadFilterNode to
IIRFilterNode), changes the graph's shape and returns false so the caller
rebuilds.

Four effects have no native node and run as AudioWorklet processors:
compressor, limiter, gate and bitcrush. The module is registered from a data:
URL rather than a blob:, because a blob inherits the page origin and is opaque
on a file:// page, where it fails with an unhelpful AbortError.

Reverb has no single node either. `synthesizeReverbImpulse` generates a tail
from the room parameters, seeded so the same room sounds the same on every
machine, and the ConvolverNode uses it.

Tests cover the wiring — which nodes get built, how they connect, parameter
application and clamping, in-place update versus rebuild, disposal — against a
fake AudioContext, since happy-dom has no Web Audio.

* fix(core): reverb level, phaser wiring, per-channel dynamics, one-pole rebuild

Four defects in the graph builders, all found by review rather than by ear.

**Reverb was unusable at its own defaults.** A ConvolverNode applies the
impulse's gain whole — the graph sets `normalize = false` so a room is
deterministic rather than browser-defined — but the impulse was raw decaying
noise. Measured L2 at the registry default (size 0.7 / damping 0.5): 46.4, or
+33.3 dB, putting the wet path ~24 dB over dry at the default `wet: 0.35`. It is
now normalised to unit energy, so the wet knob means what it says. Preview and
render both convolve this buffer, so they stayed identical throughout — equally
deafening before, equally correct now.

**Phaser in_gain/out_gain trim the signal entering and leaving the effect**, not
a wet/dry pair. Wired to the wet and dry legs, "Input" muted the dry path and
the two defaults summed to 1.14, so inserting a phaser raised the track level.
They are now input and output trims with the legs summed at unity. Its declared
waveform is also honoured: `lfo.type` was never assigned, so the default
"Triangular" was silently a sine.

**The dynamics worklets held one envelope across a channel-major loop.** The
followers advance per sample, so on stereo a 20 ms attack behaved as 10 ms, and
the right channel's gain came from an envelope that had already traversed the
left — the two ducked differently from the same input and the image pumped.
State is now per channel, as is the gate's smoothed gain and bitcrush's
sample-hold counter, which previously advanced only on the last channel and left
every earlier one frozen for a whole quantum. The gate also honours the knee it
declares instead of chattering on material sitting at the threshold.

**A one-pole filter's cutoff was swallowed in preview.** Its coefficients are
fixed at construction, so `update` cannot push a new frequency — but the shape
signature carried only type and pole count, so a cutoff change looked like a
values-only edit and went into a no-op updater. Preview kept filtering at the
old frequency while the render used the new one: a preview/render divergence in
exactly the two effects that do not use a BiquadFilterNode.

* feat(engine): render audio FX in an OfflineAudioContext

Reads `data-fx-chain` off an audio element and runs the chain over the trimmed
WAV before volume automation is baked in — effects should see the raw signal,
and the envelope belongs on their output.

The processing happens in an OfflineAudioContext inside the headless browser
the engine already drives, running the same graph builders the studio previews
with. That is the point of the approach: one implementation per effect, so the
render agreeing with the preview is a property of the architecture rather than
a tolerance to police. Reimplementing each effect as an FFmpeg filter would
mean two implementations to keep in step, and for the dynamics processors and
modulated delays there is no filter that behaves the same way.

`build:audio-fx-runtime` bundles the graph builders into an injectable IIFE,
following the same pattern as the existing runtime artifacts, so the browser
runs exactly the code the studio does.

The page loads from a file:// URL rather than about:blank because AudioWorklet
is only exposed in a secure context — the compressor, limiter, gate and
bitcrush processors would otherwise fail to register with an opaque error.
file:// qualifies and needs no listening socket.

The chain is serialised into the attribute the way colour grading carries its
config, so there is no side-car file to resolve or lose.

An FX failure is fatal for the whole mix rather than a per-track soft failure.
Every other audio failure mode degrades gracefully — the track drops, siblings
continue — but substituting the dry signal for a processed one ships a render
that sounds plausible and is not what the author set up. Since the per-element
work races under Promise.all, an internal AbortController chained off the
caller's signal aborts in-flight siblings before workDir is removed.

* feat(core): voiceover carve analysis

Finds the bands a voice occupies so a music bed can be dipped there, letting
the voice sit in front without ducking the whole track.

Carve is a relationship between two tracks rather than an effect on one, so it
stays out of the FX chain. What it emits is an ordinary chain of peaking
filters, so a carve composes with whatever else is on the track and needs no
separate rendering path.

Selection is weighted toward intelligibility rather than raw voice energy.
Ranking purely by power lands on the fundamental almost every time, because
that is where a voice is loudest — but the masking that actually hurts a
voiceover happens higher up, and dipping 160 Hz mostly just thins the bed. The
bias is a control, not a constant: at 0 it follows raw energy, at 1 it weights
toward 1-3 kHz.

Ranking happens in dB, which matters more than it looks. Speech spreads 20-30 dB
across these bands — it falls off roughly 6 dB per octave above the fundamental
— so a weighting has to be on that scale to move anything at all. A
multiplicative weight of `1 - bias + bias * shaped` is bounded below by
`1 - bias`, capping its influence at 10*log10(1/(1 - bias)): 5.2 dB at the 0.7
default, 3 dB at 0.5. That is no influence against a real voice — every bias
short of ~0.95 would rank exactly like bias 0 and carve the fundamental, the
outcome the bias exists to prevent, while looking decisive against a fixture
whose bands sit 2 dB apart. So the bias is a dB penalty, zero at 2 kHz and worth
up to 30 dB at full strength, and relative cut depths come from a dB difference
rather than a ratio of weighted linear powers.

The bias reweights ranking without overriding the spectrum — a band the voice
has no energy in is not worth carving, and scores -Infinity rather than
competing — so a strongly low-pitched voice can still select low at full bias.
What the tests hold is that biasing never selects lower than the unbiased
ranking, that the DEFAULT bias reaches the presence region on a voice with a
realistic tilt, and that bias 0 still follows raw power exactly.

Includes a radix-2 FFT rather than a dependency; one Welch-style averaged
spectrum over third-octave bands does not justify pulling in a DSP library.

* fix(engine): keep the FX render 16-bit, stereo, and correctly sized

Three defects in the offline FX path, none of which any test could see.

**Float output silently disabled sample-accurate volume automation.** The writer
emitted 32-bit IEEE float; the very next mixer step bakes the volume envelope
into the samples and accepts only 16-bit PCM, returning null otherwise. So
enabling any effect downgraded that track to the ffmpeg expression path — capped
at 32 straight segments, quantising a curved envelope, and on a dense one falling
back to base volume. It now writes 16-bit PCM, clamped rather than wrapped so a
limiter at 0 dB or a resonant filter cannot turn overshoot into a click. A test
asserts the baker accepts the writer's own output and actually fades it.

**Everything was folded to mono.** `prepareAudioTrack` goes out of its way to
emit stereo — its pan filter exists to dodge ffmpeg's 3 dB mono-to-stereo
rematrix — and this folded it, then wrote one channel. So adding a single peaking
EQ collapsed a bed's width and cost ~3 dB in the render, while preview stayed
stereo. Channels now travel as one plane each, through an OfflineAudioContext of
the same width, and come back interleaved.

**Small results decoded the wrong length.** `new Float32Array(buf.buffer)`
discards byteOffset and byteLength, and Node pools small allocations: a 400-byte
payload sits at offset 8 inside an 8 KiB pool, so a clip under ~1024 samples
decoded as 2048 samples of unrelated memory — and the empty-result guard could
not see it. The reader has the mirror-image fix: a float data chunk on an odd
boundary (ffmpeg's pcm_f32le writes fmt(18) + fact, landing `data` at 58) now
copies instead of throwing RangeError on an unaligned view.

The tail limitation is now stated rather than mis-stated: the context is exactly
as long as the input, so a reverb or delay still ringing is cut there. The old
comment claimed the opposite. How far a tail may run past a clip's end changes
the clip's length in the mix, so it is a product decision, not one to make here.

* fix(producer): report an FX render failure as an audio error

`processCompositionAudio` reports per-track failures in its result, but an FX
failure it cannot degrade past — a browser that will not launch, a chain that
will not build — rejects instead. `runAudioStage` had no try, so that rejection
escaped to the orchestrator as an unclassified pipeline exception, losing the
stage/owner/retryable classification this stage exists to attach, and skipping
its abort check on the way out.

It now lands in `audioError` alongside every other cause, while an abort still
keeps its own shape rather than being reported as an audio problem.

Not done here: committing the generated `audio-fx-runtime-inline.ts` so a fresh
clone typechecks packages/engine without building first. The bundle is built from
the stub, and the stub changes three times across this stack — so the artifact
differs per branch and would conflict on every restack. Its model,
position-edits-render-inline.ts, is committed only because it is stable. Building
before testing is this monorepo's existing contract (studio's tests need core's
dist too), so the gap is not specific to audio FX and is better closed by a build
ordering gate than by committing a per-branch artifact.

* test(engine): skip the browser FX render cases when there is no browser

CI's `Test` job was red on this PR with four failures, all the same cause:

  Failed to launch the browser process: spawn
  /home/runner/.cache/hyperframes/chrome/chrome-headless-shell

The job installs ffmpeg and no browser, deliberately — every other suite
that needs an external binary already guards on it
(`describe.skipIf(!HAS_FFMPEG)`). These cases were the only ones assuming
a Chrome, so they failed on an absent dependency rather than on anything
about the code.

Guards on `resolveHeadlessShellPath()` — the same resolver
`acquireBrowser` launches through, so the check cannot drift from the
thing it guards the way a hard-coded cache path would. A configured path
that does not exist throws; that is caught and read as "cannot run here".

Checked both directions rather than just the green one: with a browser all
11 cases run and pass, and with `HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` pointed at a
missing binary exactly 3 skip and the other 8 still run. A guard that
silently skipped everything would have looked identical in CI.

They keep their value where it exists — every developer machine, and any
job that has run `hyperframes browser ensure`.

Not touched: the CodeQL failure on this PR is a run from 2026-08-07, five
days and several force-pushes stale. None of the 17 open repo alerts are
in files this PR changes; it re-runs on this push.

* chore(engine): suppress the temp-file alert with the reason it is safe

CodeQL flags `writeWav`'s `writeFileSync` as js/insecure-temporary-file
(high) — the one new alert on #3021, and the reason its CodeQL check is
red.

It is a false positive, and the comment says why rather than just silencing
it: `path` is always inside a directory made by `mkdtempSync`, never a
name assembled directly under `tmpdir()`. Both callers are covered — the
browser host page writes into `mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "hf-fx-host-"))`,
and the render output goes to the producer work dir, itself
`mkdtempSync(join(tempRoot, "producer-project-"))`. mkdtemp picks the
random suffix and creates the directory 0700 in one syscall, so the
predictable filename inside it cannot be pre-created or symlinked by
another user, which is the attack the rule is about. The analyzer sees the
dataflow reach `tmpdir()` and not the mkdtemp in between.

Suppressed inline rather than dismissed in the UI, so the justification
lives next to the code and the rule stays live for anything added later in
this file. Matches the repo's existing convention — `planV2.ts:222`
carries an `lgtm[js/insecure-temporary-file]` for a different reason on
the same rule.

Correcting myself: I first reported this alert as not real, having
intersected the PR's files against the default-branch alert list, which
does not contain PR-ref alerts. Querying ?ref=refs/pull/3021/merge returns
it straight away.

* feat(core): register the audio-fx-rack canary at 0%

Lands the rollout switch dark, per the registry's own procedure: "Start at
percentage: 0 and merge that — a canary at 0 is dead code you can land
safely and ramp without a code review."

Declared at the bottom of the stack so every branch above can read it. The
gate itself goes in at wa-4-fx-panel, where the rack first appears.

Scope is deliberate and stated in the description: it gates the AUTHORING
surface only. A composition that already carries `data-fx-chain` still
plays and renders it. A canary should stage who can REACH a feature, not
make an attribute somebody already wrote silently inert — an agent that
writes a chain through the skill would otherwise produce a file whose audio
processing vanishes with no error.

* feat(studio): audio FX panel generated from the registry

Controls for the whole chain: add, remove, reorder, bypass, and every knob each
effect declares.

Nothing in the panel knows what a compressor is. The registry supplies each
parameter's range, step, unit and scale and the panel renders what it finds, so
adding an effect or a knob upstream needs no change here, and the panel cannot
offer a value the renderer would reject — a typed-in figure is clamped into the
declared range on the way through.

Frequency and time controls span three or four decades, so those declare a log
scale and the slider maps exponentially; a linear slider would spend most of
its travel somewhere useless.

Reorder is a first-class control because chain order changes the sound: a
reverb before a compressor is not the same as after.

Carve gets its own block rather than an entry in the add menu, with a picker
for the voice track to listen to. It processes this track based on another one,
which is how a sidechain control works — it lives on the track that changes,
and names the source.

* feat(studio): show the Audio FX section on audio tracks

Adds `audioFx` to the editing-affordances contract and renders the FX panel in
the inspector when an `<audio>` element is selected.

The section is audio-only. A `<video>` carries its sound on a separate
`<audio>` element, so an FX chain on the video would have nothing to process.

Chain and carve settings are written straight back onto the element as
serialised attributes, the way colour grading carries its config, so
persistence is an ordinary attribute write and needs no new server route. A
chain that cannot be parsed renders as empty rather than breaking the panel,
and the attribute is left untouched until the user changes something.

The collapsed group summarises what is on the track ("2 effects + carve") so
the state is visible without expanding it.

Wired into PropertyPanelFlat rather than PropertyPanel: STUDIO_FLAT_INSPECTOR_ENABLED
defaults to true, so the flat inspector is what actually renders.

* refactor(studio): lift audioFxSummary out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` is 612 lines here against the repo's 600-line cap,
so the required File size check is red — the sole reason this PR is
blocked. The review says as much: "mechanical fix (~5 min), not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `audioFxSummary` to `audioFxSummary.ts`, the same file a later
branch creates for it. Deliberately the smallest cut that clears the cap
rather than the whole `AudioFxGroup` extraction: every later commit in the
stack edits AudioFxGroup, so moving it here would collide with each of
them, while almost nothing touches this function.

595 lines.

* feat(studio): put the audio FX rack behind its canary

Gates the rack on `isCanaryEnabled("audio-fx-rack")`, which is registered
at 0% — so the whole 47-PR stack can land without showing anyone a feature
that has not been measured yet.

The gate sits on the AUTHORING surface and nowhere else. The runtime and
the render still honour a `data-fx-chain` already on an element, so a
composition written through the skill or by `carve.mjs` keeps its
processing rather than going silently dry for anyone outside the cohort. A
canary should stage who can REACH a feature, not make an attribute somebody
already wrote stop working with no error.

Gated at the panel rather than in `resolveEditingSections`: the affordance
resolver is a pure function in core describing what an element CAN support,
and rollout state is not a property of an `<audio>` tag.

Pinned the 0% with a test, and checked it fails at 25 — a ramp should have
to break something that says "this ships dark" out loud.

One gap, stated rather than papered over: the gate itself has no unit test.
I wrote one and deleted it, because `PropertyPanel.test.tsx`'s harness
never renders the Audio FX group for its audio fixture even with the gate
removed — so the test passed for the wrong reason in the off case and could
not pass at all in the on case. A test that cannot fail for the right
reason is worse than none. Verifying the gate needs the panel harness to
mount that section first, which is its own change.

* feat(core,studio): hear the FX chain in preview, and run the carve analysis

Splices an element's FX chain into the playback graph so preview stops being
silent about effects, and wires the carve button that was previously inert.

The chain goes between the decoded source and its gain stage: effects see the
raw signal and volume automation rides on their output, matching the order the
offline render uses. Since preview and render call the same graph builders,
what is heard while scrubbing is what gets written.

The splice lives in the transport rather than on the `<audio>` element. The
transport plays each track from a decoded AudioBuffer and mutes the element to
avoid doubling, so capturing the element with createMediaElementSource would
have processed a stream nothing is listening to — it looked like it worked
because the call succeeded, and the audio was unchanged.

A chain that cannot be built plays dry rather than silencing the track, which
is the right failure in preview: the author keeps working and hears the source.
The render still refuses, because shipping the dry signal there would be wrong.

Carve now analyses for real: it decodes the chosen voice track, ranks its bands
and writes the resulting peaking filters onto this track. Generated nodes are
tagged `fromCarve`, so re-running replaces the previous carve instead of
stacking another set on top of hand-added effects.

Known limitation: the graph is built when a source is scheduled, so a knob
turned mid-playback takes effect on the next play or seek rather than
immediately. Live re-parameterisation needs the transport to hold the handle
and forward updates.

* fix(studio,core): stop parameter drags from restarting playback

Dragging a knob wrote the chain through the persisting attribute path on every
input event. That path refreshes the preview, which reloads the composition and
reschedules audio — so a single drag reloaded dozens of times and playback
stuttered the whole way.

Drags now go through `onSetAttributeLive`, the same path colour grading uses for
scrubs: it coalesces undo entries and sets `skipRefresh`, so no reload happens.
The persisting write fires once, when the gesture ends — pointer-up or blur for
a slider, Enter or blur for a typed value. A select commits immediately since
there is no drag to wait for.

While dragging, the control is driven from local state. Waiting for the value to
round-trip through the element attribute made the knob lag behind the pointer.

For the change to be audible without a reload, the graph now follows the
attribute: the chain installed by the transport observes the element and
re-parameterises itself in place, so a value change lands on the next
128-sample quantum. A shape change (effect added, bypassed, pole count) cannot
be patched into a running graph, so it still waits for the next schedule rather
than cutting the audio mid-play.

The regression test drags a slider through several values and asserts the
persisting handler is untouched until release.

* fix(core): register FX worklets before building nodes that need them

An AudioWorkletNode cannot be constructed before its processor is registered —
it throws, and the surrounding chain is lost with it. `attachElementFxChain`
built the chain first and only then called `ensureAudioFxWorklets`, so every
worklet-backed effect (compressor, limiter, gate, bitcrush) threw on
construction and the track fell back to dry. Instrumenting the preview showed
`hf-compressor: InvalidStateError` with addModule never called at all.

When the module has not landed yet the track now plays dry and the graph is
swapped in once registration resolves, so the effect arrives a moment late
instead of never.

Registration is also tracked per context rather than in one module-level
promise. A processor registered on one AudioContext does not exist on another,
so the shared promise made every context after the first believe it was ready
when it was not — the studio's transport owns its own context, which is exactly
that case.

With the worklets actually running, the compressor's per-sample log10 and pow
became real audio-thread work. Samples below the knee have a gain of exactly
unity and need neither, so the envelope is now compared in the linear domain
and the transcendentals only run for samples that are actually being
compressed.

* refactor(studio): split the FX node row out of FxSection

Clears the health findings the FX stack left behind: the chain-node render
callback was a 70-line closure over half of FxSection's state, and the two
reorder arrows were the same button written twice.

Also drops two exports with no consumers, and registers the audio FX runtime
stub as an entry point — it is bundled by file path, so nothing imports it.

* refactor(studio): lift the audio FX group out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` was 672 lines against the repo's 600-line cap, so
the required File size check was red — the sole reason #3014 and #3022 are
blocked. Both reviews say the same thing: "mechanical fix, not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `AudioFxGroup` and `audioFxSummary` into
`propertyPanelAudioFxGroup.tsx`, which is where a later branch puts them
anyway — done here so the file is under the cap from the point it first
crosses it, rather than ten branches later.

533 lines now. The four audio imports it no longer needs go with it.

Not fixed here: three `FxSection carve` tests fail on this branch with
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toFixed')". Confirmed
pre-existing by stashing this change and re-running — that is the separate
`Test` failure the review also flags.

* feat(core): automation envelope model for audio tracks

Adds the data model behind Ableton-style automation lanes: breakpoint
envelopes over track volume or one knob of one effect in the track's FX
chain, stored on the element as `data-automation`.

Times are clip-local, so an envelope travels with the clip when it moves —
the clip-envelope model rather than arrangement automation.

`sampleAutomationLane` is the single interpolator. The lane drawing, the
preview scheduler and the render bake all call it, so the picture and the
sound cannot disagree about the curve. Log-scaled parameters interpolate in
log space, matching what their own knob already promises.

FX nodes gain a stable `id`, minted by count rather than randomly so the
document is the same on every machine. Lanes address nodes by id, so
reordering a chain never re-points a lane at a different effect, and a lane
whose effect was deleted is dropped rather than left to reattach.

Also warns when a track carries both a volume lane and a GSAP volume tween,
since only the lane is heard and the tween silently does nothing.

* feat(core): expose the AudioParams behind automatable FX knobs

Marks the knobs an automation lane can drive and has each graph builder hand
back the AudioParam behind them, so a scheduler can write to a running effect
without knowing what the effect is.

A knob is not always one AudioParam. A wet/dry mix is two gains moving in
opposition, and a knob in milliseconds drives a delay time in seconds, so
each target carries the mapping out of the knob's own declared unit.

What stays unautomatable is stated where it is decided: a WaveShaper curve, a
convolution impulse and a one-pole filter's coefficients are all rebuilt
wholesale rather than scheduled, and the four worklet effects take values by
postMessage rather than through AudioParams.

The registry flag is written by hand, so a test builds every effect and
checks the exposure both ways — nothing flagged is missing, nothing exposed
is unflagged. A flag that lied would offer a lane that silently did nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(core): play automation envelopes in preview

Schedules each lane onto the AudioParams behind its knob using native ramps
and value curves. Nothing evaluates the envelope per frame: it is handed to
the audio thread once, so it stays sample-accurate however busy the main
thread is, and the offline render will schedule it the same way.

Timing comes from the transport, so an envelope survives seeking into the
middle of a clip, a clip that has not started yet, and a playback rate that
compresses clip seconds into context seconds.

A straight line is only scheduled as a ramp when nothing bends it — no
curvature, a linear parameter scale, and no unit mapping. Log-scaled
parameters and mapped ones are sampled instead, since a delay knob in
milliseconds and a wet/dry pair moving in opposition are not linear in the
parameter they drive.

Lanes with nowhere to write are skipped rather than reported: a one-pole
filter exposes no frequency param, and the worklet effects expose none at
all. Editing an envelope mid-playback re-aims it at the live playhead rather
than restarting the track.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(engine): bake automation envelopes into the render

The offline render schedules FX lanes with the same scheduler preview uses,
inside the OfflineAudioContext that already runs the same graph builders. The
input WAV is the clip's own audio from its first sample, so clip-local time
is offline time and the envelope needs no offset.

Volume lanes take the existing PCM bake rather than a second mechanism: the
lane is converted to keyframes, so a straight fade stays two of them and only
a bent segment is sampled — the baker interpolates linearly and would
otherwise quietly straighten the curve. A volume lane supersedes keyframes
probed from the timeline, which `lint` already warns about.

A browser test sweeps a lowpass from below a 2 kHz tone to well above it and
measures both ends. Parsing the envelope is not the same as scheduling it,
and only running the real thing tells the two apart.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): make the volume lane audible in preview

The envelope was scheduled onto the transport's gain AudioParam, but the
runtime rewrites that gain every tick from `data-volume` and the GSAP-seeked
value — so it was erased within a frame. Volume automation was correct in the
render and inaudible while previewing.

The lane now feeds the per-tick path where the probed volume keyframes already
sit, checked ahead of them so the two cannot fight, and the transport no
longer schedules volume at all: one mechanism instead of two racing.

The cost is honest — in preview the level steps per tick rather than per
sample, exactly as the existing keyframe path does. The render still bakes it
into the PCM sample-accurately, and FX parameters are still scheduled on their
own AudioParams, since nothing rewrites those.

Parsed lanes are cached by attribute text: the runtime asks once per tick per
track, and parsing there would run the JSON parser 60 times a second for a
value that only changes on an edit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): apply chain edits to the running graph

A structural edit — an effect added, removed, bypassed, or a filter's pole
count switched — was dropped. `buildFxChain`'s update reports false when the
change is not merely new values, and the attribute observer ignored that, so
the edit only took hold when the persisting write reloaded the composition.
That reload restarted every playing track, which is what was heard as the
audio chopping.

The graph is now swapped in place: the old effects are detached, the new ones
built and connected between the same source and gain, and any lanes
re-scheduled onto the new nodes. The source node is never touched, so playback
does not restart.

A track with no chain is watched too, rather than wired through and forgotten,
so adding its first effect is heard the same way. That means the function
always returns a disposer instead of null for the empty case.

* feat(studio): the geometry and plumbing behind automation lanes

Everything an automation lane needs before there is a lane to look at, kept
apart from the component so the maths can be read and tested without a pointer.

`automationLaneGeometry` is pure: which parameters a clip can automate (its
fader, then each automatable knob of each effect that carries a node id), how a
value maps to a position in the lane, and how a lane is edited. Two decisions
live here and are worth review:

- A log-read knob maps on its own log scale, so the middle of a 100 Hz–20 kHz
  lane is the geometric mean. Dragging and drawing then agree with what the
  knob's own scale already promises.
- `withLane` replaces a lane in place rather than appending. A lane with no
  explicitly chosen parameter shows whichever comes first, so moving the edited
  one to the end would switch the lane out from under the pointer on the first
  edit.

`automationLaneData` parses the two attributes, cached by their text so the
identity only changes when the text does — the lane holds an optimistic draft
while a point is dragged and compares against that identity, and a fresh object
on every playhead tick would throw the drag away. It binds automation to the
chain the way preview and the render bind it, so a lane whose effect was deleted
is dropped rather than drawn against the wrong axis.

`useAutomationLanes` routes edits through the DOM edit session, targeting the
selected element because that is what the attribute commit path writes to.

Row height reserves each lane at its own height rather than counting it as
another keyframe lane, and `TimelinePropertyLanes` gains a footer slot so the
lanes share the keyframe disclosure — and its `aria-controls`.

`TimelineElement` moves to its own module: playerStore had reached the 600-line
studio ceiling exactly and could not carry another field. It is re-exported from
there, so no importer changes.

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

* fix(studio): make automationLaneData reviewable, and evict one entry not all

The cache key held a literal NUL byte instead of its escape, so git classified
the whole module as binary: it landed as `Bin 0 -> 2677 bytes` with zero
diffable lines, invisible to review, to grep, and to any textual merge. The
escape is behaviour-identical.

With the file readable, two things in it needed fixing.

Eviction cleared the entire map. Clearing changes the identity of every lane's
automation at once, and a lane compares its drag draft against that identity —
so one unrelated element arriving at the limit would release an in-progress drag
and snap the point back. It now drops the oldest entry, and a hit is re-inserted
so it counts as recently used.

Nothing tested this module, which is what let the binary blob through. Now
covered: identity stability, re-parsing when the chain changes but the
automation text does not, a hot entry surviving 40 evictions, and an unreadable
attribute reading as nothing.

The geometry module's exports are ignored for dead-code while its consumer sits
one PR upstack, following the convention already used for the fast-capture
stack.

* fix(studio): carry the audio FX attributes onto every timeline row

Both element builders read `data-fx-chain` and `data-automation` off the host
element, and an expanded sub-composition child is built without one — so an audio
track inside a sub-composition reserved no automation height and drew no lanes,
while the property panel, which reads the live DOM selection rather than the row,
still showed its chain and its toggles. `hostElementState` exists to re-inherit
exactly this class of host-only field; it now covers these two alongside
`hidden`, `timelineLocked` and `timelineRole`.

`parseTimelineFromDOM` had the same gap and now reads both directly.

Also exempts the offline FX render's browser entry from the health gate: it runs
only inside the headless page the engine drives, so its CRAP score is
coverage-driven rather than complexity-driven, and its behaviour is covered by the
engine's real-browser render tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(engine): render audio FX in an OfflineAudioContext

Reads `data-fx-chain` off an audio element and runs the chain over the trimmed
WAV before volume automation is baked in — effects should see the raw signal,
and the envelope belongs on their output.

The processing happens in an OfflineAudioContext inside the headless browser
the engine already drives, running the same graph builders the studio previews
with. That is the point of the approach: one implementation per effect, so the
render agreeing with the preview is a property of the architecture rather than
a tolerance to police. Reimplementing each effect as an FFmpeg filter would
mean two implementations to keep in step, and for the dynamics processors and
modulated delays there is no filter that behaves the same way.

`build:audio-fx-runtime` bundles the graph builders into an injectable IIFE,
following the same pattern as the existing runtime artifacts, so the browser
runs exactly the code the studio does.

The page loads from a file:// URL rather than about:blank because AudioWorklet
is only exposed in a secure context — the compressor, limiter, gate and
bitcrush processors would otherwise fail to register with an opaque error.
file:// qualifies and needs no listening socket.

The chain is serialised into the attribute the way colour grading carries its
config, so there is no side-car file to resolve or lose.

An FX failure is fatal for the whole mix rather than a per-track soft failure.
Every other audio failure mode degrades gracefully — the track drops, siblings
continue — but substituting the dry signal for a processed one ships a render
that sounds plausible and is not what the author set up. Since the per-element
work races under Promise.all, an internal AbortController chained off the
caller's signal aborts in-flight siblings before workDir is removed.

* feat(core): voiceover carve analysis

Finds the bands a voice occupies so a music bed can be dipped there, letting
the voice sit in front without ducking the whole track.

Carve is a relationship between two tracks rather than an effect on one, so it
stays out of the FX chain. What it emits is an ordinary chain of peaking
filters, so a carve composes with whatever else is on the track and needs no
separate rendering path.

Selection is weighted toward intelligibility rather than raw voice energy.
Ranking purely by power lands on the fundamental almost every time, because
that is where a voice is loudest — but the masking that actually hurts a
voiceover happens higher up, and dipping 160 Hz mostly just thins the bed. The
bias is a control, not a constant: at 0 it follows raw energy, at 1 it weights
toward 1-3 kHz.

Ranking happens in dB, which matters more than it looks. Speech spreads 20-30 dB
across these bands — it falls off roughly 6 dB per octave above the fundamental
— so a weighting has to be on that scale to move anything at all. A
multiplicative weight of `1 - bias + bias * shaped` is bounded below by
`1 - bias`, capping its influence at 10*log10(1/(1 - bias)): 5.2 dB at the 0.7
default, 3 dB at 0.5. That is no influence against a real voice — every bias
short of ~0.95 would rank exactly like bias 0 and carve the fundamental, the
outcome the bias exists to prevent, while looking decisive against a fixture
whose bands sit 2 dB apart. So the bias is a dB penalty, zero at 2 kHz and worth
up to 30 dB at full strength, and relative cut depths come from a dB difference
rather than a ratio of weighted linear powers.

The bias reweights ranking without overriding the spectrum — a band the voice
has no energy in is not worth carving, and scores -Infinity rather than
competing — so a strongly low-pitched voice can still select low at full bias.
What the tests hold is that biasing never selects lower than the unbiased
ranking, that the DEFAULT bias reaches the presence region on a voice with a
realistic tilt, and that bias 0 still follows raw power exactly.

Includes a radix-2 FFT rather than a dependency; one Welch-style averaged
spectrum over third-octave bands does not justify pulling in a DSP library.

* fix(engine): keep the FX render 16-bit, stereo, and correctly sized

Three defects in the offline FX path, none of which any test could see.

**Float output silently disabled sample-accurate volume automation.** The writer
emitted 32-bit IEEE float; the very next mixer step bakes the volume envelope
into the samples and accepts only 16-bit PCM, returning null otherwise. So
enabling any effect downgraded that track to the ffmpeg expression path — capped
at 32 straight segments, quantising a curved envelope, and on a dense one falling
back to base volume. It now writes 16-bit PCM, clamped rather than wrapped so a
limiter at 0 dB or a resonant filter cannot turn overshoot into a click. A test
asserts the baker accepts the writer's own output and actually fades it.

**Everything was folded to mono.** `prepareAudioTrack` goes out of its way to
emit stereo — its pan filter exists to dodge ffmpeg's 3 dB mono-to-stereo
rematrix — and this folded it, then wrote one channel. So adding a single peaking
EQ collapsed a bed's width and cost ~3 dB in the render, while preview stayed
stereo. Channels now travel as one plane each, through an OfflineAudioContext of
the same width, and come back interleaved.

**Small results decoded the wrong length.** `new Float32Array(buf.buffer)`
discards byteOffset and byteLength, and Node pools small allocations: a 400-byte
payload sits at offset 8 inside an 8 KiB pool, so a clip under ~1024 samples
decoded as 2048 samples of unrelated memory — and the empty-result guard could
not see it. The reader has the mirror-image fix: a float data chunk on an odd
boundary (ffmpeg's pcm_f32le writes fmt(18) + fact, landing `data` at 58) now
copies instead of throwing RangeError on an unaligned view.

The tail limitation is now stated rather than mis-stated: the context is exactly
as long as the input, so a reverb or delay still ringing is cut there. The old
comment claimed the opposite. How far a tail may run past a clip's end changes
the clip's length in the mix, so it is a product decision, not one to make here.

* fix(producer): report an FX render failure as an audio error

`processCompositionAudio` reports per-track failures in its result, but an FX
failure it cannot degrade past — a browser that will not launch, a chain that
will not build — rejects instead. `runAudioStage` had no try, so that rejection
escaped to the orchestrator as an unclassified pipeline exception, losing the
stage/owner/retryable classification this stage exists to attach, and skipping
its abort check on the way out.

It now lands in `audioError` alongside every other cause, while an abort still
keeps its own shape rather than being reported as an audio problem.

Not done here: committing the generated `audio-fx-runtime-inline.ts` so a fresh
clone typechecks packages/engine without building first. The bundle is built from
the stub, and the stub changes three times across this stack — so the artifact
differs per branch and would conflict on every restack. Its model,
position-edits-render-inline.ts, is committed only because it is stable. Building
before testing is this monorepo's existing contract (studio's tests need core's
dist too), so the gap is not specific to audio FX and is better closed by a build
ordering gate than by committing a per-branch artifact.

* test(engine): skip the browser FX render cases when there is no browser

CI's `Test` job was red on this PR with four failures, all the same cause:

  Failed to launch the browser process: spawn
  /home/runner/.cache/hyperframes/chrome/chrome-headless-shell

The job installs ffmpeg and no browser, deliberately — every other suite
that needs an external binary already guards on it
(`describe.skipIf(!HAS_FFMPEG)`). These cases were the only ones assuming
a Chrome, so they failed on an absent dependency rather than on anything
about the code.

Guards on `resolveHeadlessShellPath()` — the same resolver
`acquireBrowser` launches through, so the check cannot drift from the
thing it guards the way a hard-coded cache path would. A configured path
that does not exist throws; that is caught and read as "cannot run here".

Checked both directions rather than just the green one: with a browser all
11 cases run and pass, and with `HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` pointed at a
missing binary exactly 3 skip and the other 8 still run. A guard that
silently skipped everything would have looked identical in CI.

They keep their value where it exists — every developer machine, and any
job that has run `hyperframes browser ensure`.

Not touched: the CodeQL failure on this PR is a run from 2026-08-07, five
days and several force-pushes stale. None of the 17 open repo alerts are
in files this PR changes; it re-runs on this push.

* chore(engine): suppress the temp-file alert with the reason it is safe

CodeQL flags `writeWav`'s `writeFileSync` as js/insecure-temporary-file
(high) — the one new alert on #3021, and the reason its CodeQL check is
red.

It is a false positive, and the comment says why rather than just silencing
it: `path` is always inside a directory made by `mkdtempSync`, never a
name assembled directly under `tmpdir()`. Both callers are covered — the
browser host page writes into `mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "hf-fx-host-"))`,
and the render output goes to the producer work dir, itself
`mkdtempSync(join(tempRoot, "producer-project-"))`. mkdtemp picks the
random suffix and creates the directory 0700 in one syscall, so the
predictable filename inside it cannot be pre-created or symlinked by
another user, which is the attack the rule is about. The analyzer sees the
dataflow reach `tmpdir()` and not the mkdtemp in between.

Suppressed inline rather than dismissed in the UI, so the justification
lives next to the code and the rule stays live for anything added later in
this file. Matches the repo's existing convention — `planV2.ts:222`
carries an `lgtm[js/insecure-temporary-file]` for a different reason on
the same rule.

Correcting myself: I first reported this alert as not real, having
intersected the PR's files against the default-branch alert list, which
does not contain PR-ref alerts. Querying ?ref=refs/pull/3021/merge returns
it straight away.

* test(engine): probe ffmpeg and Chrome instead of assuming them

Two failures on #3021's Test job, both about the environment rather than
the code under test.

**Bare `ffmpeg` is not on PATH in CI.** The 16-bit fixture shelled out to
`execFileSync("ffmpeg", ...)` and died with ENOENT. The job does provide
ffmpeg, through `prepare-ffmpeg-bin`, which is what `getFfmpegBinary()`
resolves — every other ffmpeg-dependent suite in this package already goes
through it. Now this one does too, and the case is `skipIf(!HAS_FFMPEG)`
so a contributor without ffmpeg skips rather than fails.

**The browser guard trusted the wrong thing.** It asked
`resolveHeadlessShellPath()` and treated a returned path as "a browser is
here". CI's cache holds a chrome-headless-shell that resolves and then
fails to spawn — a partial download is indistinguishable from a working
one by `existsSync`, which is all that resolver checks. So the three
browser cases ran anyway and failed on the launch.

It now runs `--version` and requires exit 0, which is the same probe the
ffmpeg suites use: ask the binary, do not infer from the filesystem.

Checked both directions rather than just the green one. With a working
browser all 11 cases run and pass; with `HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` pointed
at a binary that exits non-zero — CI's exact situation — exactly 3 skip
and the other 8 still run. A guard that quietly skipped everything would
have looked identical on the CI summary.

* feat(core): register the audio-fx-rack canary at 0%

Lands the rollout switch dark, per the registry's own procedure: "Start at
percentage: 0 and merge that — a canary at 0 is dead code you can land
safely and ramp without a code review."

Declared at the bottom of the stack so every branch above can read it. The
gate itself goes in at wa-4-fx-panel, where the rack first appears.

Scope is deliberate and stated in the description: it gates the AUTHORING
surface only. A composition that already carries `data-fx-chain` still
plays and renders it. A canary should stage who can REACH a feature, not
make an attribute somebody already wrote silently inert — an agent that
writes a chain through the skill would otherwise produce a file whose audio
processing vanishes with no error.

* feat(studio): audio FX panel generated from the registry

Controls for the whole chain: add, remove, reorder, bypass, and every knob each
effect declares.

Nothing in the panel knows what a compressor is. The registry supplies each
parameter's range, step, unit and scale and the panel renders what it finds, so
adding an effect or a knob upstream needs no change here, and the panel cannot
offer a value the renderer would reject — a typed-in figure is clamped into the
declared range on the way through.

Frequency and time controls span three or four decades, so those declare a log
scale and the slider maps exponentially; a linear slider would spend most of
its travel somewhere useless.

Reorder is a first-class control because chain order changes the sound: a
reverb before a compressor is not the same as after.

Carve gets its own block rather than an entry in the add menu, with a picker
for the voice track to listen to. It processes this track based on another one,
which is how a sidechain control works — it lives on the track that changes,
and names the source.

* feat(studio): show the Audio FX section on audio tracks

Adds `audioFx` to the editing-affordances contract and renders the FX panel in
the inspector when an `<audio>` element is selected.

The section is audio-only. A `<video>` carries its sound on a separate
`<audio>` element, so an FX chain on the video would have nothing to process.

Chain and carve settings are written straight back onto the element as
serialised attributes, the way colour grading carries its config, so
persistence is an ordinary attribute write and needs no new server route. A
chain that cannot be parsed renders as empty rather than breaking the panel,
and the attribute is left untouched until the user changes something.

The collapsed group summarises what is on the track ("2 effects + carve") so
the state is visible without expanding it.

Wired into PropertyPanelFlat rather than PropertyPanel: STUDIO_FLAT_INSPECTOR_ENABLED
defaults to true, so the flat inspector is what actually renders.

* refactor(studio): lift audioFxSummary out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` is 612 lines here against the repo's 600-line cap,
so the required File size check is red — the sole reason this PR is
blocked. The review says as much: "mechanical fix (~5 min), not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `audioFxSummary` to `audioFxSummary.ts`, the same file a later
branch creates for it. Deliberately the smallest cut that clears the cap
rather than the whole `AudioFxGroup` extraction: every later commit in the
stack edits AudioFxGroup, so moving it here would collide with each of
them, while almost nothing touches this function.

595 lines.

* feat(core,studio): hear the FX chain in preview, and run the carve analysis

Splices an element's FX chain into the playback graph so preview stops being
silent about effects, and wires the carve button that was previously inert.

The chain goes between the decoded source and its gain stage: effects see the
raw signal and volume automation rides on their output, matching the order the
offline render uses. Since preview and render call the same graph builders,
what is heard while scrubbing is what gets written.

The splice lives in the transport rather than on the `<audio>` element. The
transport plays each track from a decoded AudioBuffer and mutes the element to
avoid doubling, so capturing the element with createMediaElementSource would
have processed a stream nothing is listening to — it looked like it worked
because the call succeeded, and the audio was unchanged.

A chain that cannot be built plays dry rather than silencing the track, which
is the right failure in preview: the author keeps working and hears the source.
The render still refuses, because shipping the dry signal there would be wrong.

Carve now analyses for real: it decodes the chosen voice track, ranks its bands
and writes the resulting peaking filters onto this track. Generated nodes are
tagged `fromCarve`, so re-running replaces the previous carve instead of
stacking another set on top of hand-added effects.

Known limitation: the graph is built when a source is scheduled, so a knob
turned mid-playback takes effect on the next play or seek rather than
immediately. Live re-parameterisation needs the transport to hold the handle
and forward updates.

* fix(studio,core): stop parameter drags from restarting playback

Dragging a knob wrote the chain through the persisting attribute path on every
input event. That path refreshes the preview, which reloads the composition and
reschedules audio — so a single drag reloaded dozens of times and playback
stuttered the whole way.

Drags now go through `onSetAttributeLive`, the same path colour grading uses for
scrubs: it coalesces undo entries and sets `skipRefresh`, so no reload happens.
The persisting write fires once, when the gesture ends — pointer-up or blur for
a slider, Enter or blur for a typed value. A select commits immediately since
there is no drag to wait for.

While dragging, the control is driven from local state. Waiting for the value to
round-trip through the element attribute made the knob lag behind the pointer.

For the change to be audible without a reload, the graph now follows the
attribute: the chain installed by the transport observes the element and
re-parameterises itself in place, so a value change lands on the next
128-sample quantum. A shape change (effect added, bypassed, pole count) cannot
be patched into a running graph, so it still waits for the next schedule rather
than cutting the audio mid-play.

The regression test drags a slider through several values and asserts the
persisting handler is untouched until release.

* feat(studio): put the audio FX rack behind its canary

Gates the rack on `isCanaryEnabled("audio-fx-rack")`, which is registered
at 0% — so the whole 47-PR stack can land without showing anyone a feature
that has not been measured yet.

The gate sits on the AUTHORING surface and nowhere else. The runtime and
the render still honour a `data-fx-chain` already on an element, so a
composition written through the skill or by `carve.mjs` keeps its
processing rather than going silently dry for anyone outside the cohort. A
canary should stage who can REACH a feature, not make an attribute somebody
already wrote stop working with no error.

Gated at the panel rather than in `resolveEditingSections`: the affordance
resolver is a pure function in core describing what an element CAN support,
and rollout state is not a property of an `<audio>` tag.

Pinned the 0% with a test, and checked it fails at 25 — a ramp should have
to break something that says "this ships dark" out loud.

One gap, stated rather than papered over: the gate itself has no unit test.
I wrote one and deleted it, because `PropertyPanel.test.tsx`'s harness
never renders the Audio FX group for its audio fixture even with the gate
removed — so the test passed for the wrong reason in the off case and could
not pass at all in the on case. A test that cannot fail for the right
reason is worse than none. Verifying the gate needs the panel harness to
mount that section first, which is its own change.

* fix(core): register FX worklets before building nodes that need them

An AudioWorkletNode cannot be constructed before its processor is registered —
it throws, and the surrounding chain is lost with it. `attachElementFxChain`
built the chain first and only then called `ensureAudioFxWorklets`, so every
worklet-backed effect (compressor, limiter, gate, bitcrush) threw on
construction and the track fell back to dry. Instrumenting the preview showed
`hf-compressor: InvalidStateError` with addModule never called at all.

When the module has not landed yet the track now plays dry and the graph is
swapped in once registration resolves, so the effect arrives a moment late
instead of never.

Registration is also tracked per context rather than in one module-level
promise. A processor registered on one AudioContext does not exist on another,
so the shared promise made every context after the first believe it was ready
when it was not — the studio's transport owns its own context, which is exactly
that case.

With the worklets actually running, the compressor's per-sample log10 and pow
became real audio-thread work. Samples below the knee have a gain of exactly
unity and need neither, so the envelope is now compared in the linear domain
and the transcendentals only run for samples that are actually being
compressed.

* refactor(studio): split the FX node row out of FxSection

Clears the health findings the FX stack left behind: the chain-node render
callback was a 70-line closure over half of FxSection's state, and the two
reorder arrows were the same button written twice.

Also drops two exports with no consumers, and registers the audio FX runtime
stub as an entry point — it is bundled by file path, so nothing imports it.

* feat(core): automation envelope model for audio tracks

Adds the data model behind Ableton-style automation lanes: breakpoint
envelopes over track volume or one knob of one effect in the track's FX
chain, stored on the element as `data-automation`.

Times are clip-local, so an envelope travels with the clip when it moves —
the clip-envelope model rather than arrangement automation.

`sampleAutomationLane` is the single interpolator. The lane drawing, the
preview scheduler and the render bake all call it, so the picture and the
sound cannot disagree about the curve. Log-scaled parameters interpolate in
log space, matching what their own knob already promises.

FX nodes gain a stable `id`, minted by count rather than randomly so the
document is the same on every machine. Lanes address nodes by id, so
reordering a chain never re-points a lane at a different effect, and a lane
whose effect was deleted is dropped rather than left to reattach.

Also warns when a track carries both a volume lane and a GSAP volume tween,
since only the lane is heard and the tween silently does nothing.

* refactor(studio): lift the audio FX group out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` was 672 lines against the repo's 600-line cap, so
the required File size check was red — the sole reason #3014 and #3022 are
blocked. Both reviews say the same thing: "mechanical fix, not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `AudioFxGroup` and `audioFxSummary` into
`propertyPanelAudioFxGroup.tsx`, which is where a later branch puts them
anyway — done here so the file is under the cap from the point it first
crosses it, rather than ten branches later.

533 lines now. The four audio imports it no longer needs go with it.

Not fixed here: three `FxSection carve` tests fail on this branch with
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toFixed')". Confirmed
pre-existing by stashing this change and re-running — that is the separate
`Test` failure the review also flags.

* feat(core): expose the AudioParams behind automatable FX knobs

Marks the knobs an automation lane can drive and has each graph builder hand
back the AudioParam behind them, so a scheduler can write to a running effect
without knowing what the effect is.

A knob is not always one AudioParam. A wet/dry mix is two gains moving in
opposition, and a knob in milliseconds drives a delay time in seconds, so
each target carries the mapping out of the knob's own declared unit.

What stays unautomatable is stated where it is decided: a WaveShaper curve, a
convolution impulse and a one-pole filter's coefficients are all rebuilt
wholesale rather than scheduled, and the four worklet effects take values by
postMessage rather than through AudioParams.

The registry flag is written by hand, so a test builds every effect and
checks the exposure both ways — nothing flagged is missing, nothing exposed
is unflagged. A flag that lied would offer a lane that silently did nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(core): play automation envelopes in preview

Schedules each lane onto the AudioParams behind its knob using native ramps
and value curves. Nothing evaluates the envelope per frame: it is handed to
the audio thread once, so it stays sample-accurate however busy the main
thread is, and the offline render will schedule it the same way.

Timing comes from the transport, so an envelope survives seeking into the
middle of a clip, a clip that has not started yet, and a playback rate that
compresses clip seconds into context seconds.

A straight line is only scheduled as a ramp when nothing bends it — no
curvature, a linear parameter scale, and no unit mapping. Log-scaled
parameters and mapped ones are sampled instead, since a delay knob in
milliseconds and a wet/dry pair moving in opposition are not linear in the
parameter they drive.

Lanes with nowhere to write are skipped rather than reported: a one-pole
filter exposes no frequency param, and the worklet effects expose none at
all. Editing an envelope mid-playback re-aims it at the live playhead rather
than restarting the track.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): make the volume lane audible in preview

The envelope was scheduled onto the transport's gain AudioParam, but the
runtime rewrites that gain every tick from `data-volume` and the GSAP-seeked
value — so it was erased within a frame. Volume automation was correct in the
render and inaudible while previewing.

The lane now feeds the per-tick path where the probed volume keyframes already
sit, checked ahead of them so the two cannot fight, and the transport no
longer schedules volume at all: one mechanism instead of two racing.

The cost is honest — in preview the level steps per tick rather than per
sample, exactly as the existing keyframe path does. The render still bakes it
into the PCM sample-accurately, and FX parameters are still scheduled on their
own AudioParams, since nothing rewrites those.

Parsed lanes are cached by attribute text: the runtime asks once per tick per
track, and parsing there would run the JSON parser 60 times a second for a
value that only changes on an edit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(engine): bake automation envelopes into the render

The offline render schedules FX lanes with the same scheduler preview uses,
inside the OfflineAudioContext that already runs the same graph builders. The
input WAV is the clip's own audio from its first sample, so clip-local time
is offline time and the envelope needs no offset.

Volume lanes take the existing PCM bake rather than a second mechanism: the
lane is converted to keyframes, so a straight fade stays two of them and only
a bent segment is sampled — the baker interpolates linearly and would
otherwise quietly straighten the curve. A volume lane supersedes keyframes
probed from the timeline, which `lint` already warns about.

A browser test sweeps a lowpass from below a 2 kHz tone to well above it and
measures both ends. Parsing the envelope is not the same as scheduling it,
and only running the real thing tells the two apart.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): apply chain edits to the running graph

A structural edit — an effect added, removed, bypassed, or a filter's pole
count switched — was dropped. `buildFxChain`'s update reports false when the
change is not merely new values, and the attribute observer ignored that, so
the edit only took hold when the persisting write reloaded the composition.
That reload restarted every playing track, which is what was heard as the
audio chopping.

The graph is now swapped in place: the old effects are detached, the new ones
built and connected between the same source and gain, and any lanes
re-scheduled onto the new nodes. The source node is never touched, so playback
does not restart.

A track with no chain is watched too, rather than wired through and forgotten,
so adding its first effect is heard the same way. That means the function
always returns a disposer instead of null for the empty case.

* fix(studio): drop the FX panel's dead __testables export

Fallow audit flagged it — no test imports the module.

* fix(core,studio): clear the remaining Fallow audit findings on the FX panel

- Split FxSection's per-node row into FxNodeRow + FxNodeControls so the
  CRAP score (31.6, threshold 30) splits across two smaller units instead
  of moving wholesale with one extraction.
- Dedupe the repeated "open the add menu, read its items" block in
  propertyPanelFxSection.test.tsx into openAddMenuItems().
- Merge build-audio-fx-runtime.ts and build-position-edits-render.ts into
  one build-inline-artifact.ts, config-selected by CLI arg — the two
  scripts were a byte-for-byte clone save for names.
- Exempt canary.test.ts's rawFnv (a deliberate independent
  reimplementation used to cross-check canaryBucket, per its own
  docstring) and the property-panel test files' shared renderInto/mount
  scaffolding (pre-existing across 9 files, 2 outside this stack) in
  .fallowrc.jsonc, consistent with this file's existing exemptions for
  the same class of intentional/pre-existing duplication.

* fix(ci): allowlist the build-script consolidation in the no-main-deletions guard

build-audio-fx-runtime.ts and build-position-edits-render.ts were merged into
build-inline-artifact.ts to kill a fallow duplication finding; the deletion
guard flagged that as an accidental loss since main still has both originals.

* fix(core): dedupe the wet/dry mix math between delayFeedback and chorusLfo

Both effect builders set wet.gain to the mix and dry.gain to its complement
in identical two-line blocks; fallow kept re-flagging it as a 10-line clone
on every unrelated change. Extracted setWetDryMix.

* fix(core): remove the build-audio-fx-runtime.ts stray resurrected by a main merge

An earlier merge with main brought this deleted file back (git's merge/delete
handling on an unchanged-on-one-side file); package.json already points at
build-inline-artifact.ts, so it sat unreachable and duplicating that file's
config, both of which fallow flagged.

Miguel Ángel 4cc46f5f9f feat(studio): edit and style text in the preview (#3143)
* feat(studio): edit and style text in the preview

Double-press a text element in the canvas and the caret opens where you
pressed, in the element itself rather than in a panel. Select characters and
a small toolbar offers colour, bold, italic and underline, applied to
exactly those characters.

The toolbar lives in Studio's document rather than the composition's.
Putting it in the preview would inject Studio's chrome into the user's
composition, where a render would capture it and the composition's own
styling would inherit into it.

In a flex or grid container the rebuilt runs go inside one wrapper, so a
coloured word cannot reflow the element it sits in.

Also fixes the keyboard: the shortcut guards matched contenteditable=true
only, so playback shortcuts ate letters typed into the composition.

* perf(studio): follow playhead across virtualized rows

* perf(studio): add timeline clip-window index primitive

* perf(studio): virtualize timeline clip windows

* perf(studio): stop timeline scroll work when row virtualization is off

The row virtualization stack made the timeline publish a viewport snapshot
on every scroll frame and swap `renderClipContent` across every mounted clip
at gesture start and settle. Both are windowing concessions, and neither was
gated on the flag, so the build users actually run paid for them while
mounting all 1,000 clips anyway. Measured on a 3,000-clip project: median
scroll step 16.6ms to 76.9ms, p95 17.9ms to 189.4ms, 40 long tasks to 247.

Gate both on the row virtualization flag. The scroll path now stops at the
door when the flag is off, so `isScrolling` stays false and resize-driven
and programmatic syncs still publish through the immediate path.

The flag moves into its own module: the scroll-viewport hook needs to read
it, and the virtualization hook already imports the viewport snapshot type
back, which would have closed an import cycle.

Also release the perf fixture lease from the fixture rather than from the
test-hook effect. Loading a fixture writes player state, which changed that
effect's dependency identities and tore it down on the next frame, so the
lease was revoked moments after it was taken and live iframe discovery
overwrote the fixture before the gate could measure it.

The e2e gate gains a flag-off arm (`test:timeline-default`, 1,000 elements)
next to the existing flag-on one. It refuses the 50,000-element combination,
verifies from the mounted DOM that the server under test matches the
requested flag, and skips the DOM-size budgets for the unvirtualized build
rather than relaxing them, so a skipped budget never reads as a passed one.

Verified against a live Studio dev server on the fixture project:

  flag off, before: interactionP95 303.1ms, longest task 194ms, 0/5 runs pass
  flag off, after:  interactionP95  33.6ms, longest task   0ms, 5/5 runs pass
  flag on,  after:  interactionP95  33.2ms, 4/5 runs pass, exit 0

The flag-on arm's fourth run reproducibly reports a 55-58ms long task
against a 50ms budget. That is the residual tail of the window swap itself,
tracked separately and not addressed here.

* ci(studio): run the timeline viewport gate on studio changes

The gate has existed since the row virtualization stack landed but nothing
under `.github/` referenced it, so it only ever ran when someone ran it by
hand. That is how the flag-off scroll regression reached eight merged-ready
PRs without anything noticing.

Adds a `studio-timeline-viewport` job that boots two Studio dev servers, one
per flag state, and runs both arms of the gate against them. Two servers are
needed because row virtualization is read from `import.meta.env` at module
load, so one process cannot serve both builds.

Scoped to a new `studio` paths filter rather than the broad `code` one: the
gate only says anything about `packages/studio`, `packages/core` and
`packages/studio-server`.

Adds a `ci` tier. It applies the constrained budgets without any emulation,
because a hosted runner is already slower and noisier than the machine the
strict numbers were recorded on, while the existing `low-resource` tier would
throttle it a further 4x and measure the throttle rather than the build.

The fixture composition is tracked under `tests/e2e/fixtures` but Studio

Miguel Angel Simon Sierra e317f1fbe3 refactor(studio): double-cast test fixtures and split three dense functions
CONTRIBUTING.md allows `as unknown as T` with a justification, not a bare
`as T`; the gsapShared fixtures only carry the fields under test.

The fallow complexity gate flagged three functions on this branch. Each is
split at its natural seam rather than suppressed: the auto-expand scan moves
out of the effect, the four repeated attribute guards in
nodeMatchesManifestClip collapse into one table-driven check, and the
segment-% interpolation moves out of onPathDown.

Miguel Angel Simon Sierra 8f66b06d12 fix(studio): retime the dragged element's own keyframe
Drag-to-retime resolved the dragged diamond against the selected element's
animations and committed through the selected element's DOM selection, so
dragging a diamond on a non-selected clip retimed the wrong tween. It now
resolves against the clicked element's animations and commits through that
element's selection, matching the delete path.

The three diamond callbacks also take the TimelineKeyframeTarget they already
had instead of five positional fields, and the two copies of the
sourceFile#domId split share splitTimelineElementKey.

Miguel Ángel 07965e9fe9 fix(studio): play preview audio at speeds above 1x (#2691)
* fix(studio): play preview audio at speeds above 1x

The player force-muted preview audio whenever playback rate exceeded 1x
and disabled the mute button (and the M shortcut) in that state. Users
changing speed to 2x heard nothing, and clicking unmute did nothing.

Media elements play audio fine at any rate (pitch preserved by default),
so remove the special case: audio now follows only the user's mute
toggle at every speed. Drops the shouldMutePreviewAudio helper and the
audioAutoMuted UI/keyboard gating that existed solely for it.

* test(studio): update seek audio test for unmuted-above-1x behavior

useTimelinePlayer.seek.test.ts still asserted the old force-mute: at 2x
with the user unmuted it expected a set-muted{muted:true} message. With
audio now following only the user's toggle, the preview receives
set-muted{muted:false}. Update the assertion and title to match.

Ular KimsanovandMiguel Angel Simon Sierra 89db718899 feat(studio): mirror canvas z-order actions into timeline lanes (track order = default paint order) (#2380)
* feat(studio): mirror canvas z-order actions into timeline lanes, badge z overrides

Track order = default paint order; authored z = advanced override.

- timelineZMirror.ts: pure resolver mapping a successful z-menu action to a
  timeline lane move — closest track in the action's direction that is free
  over the clip's whole span, else a new lane adjacent to the crossed
  neighbor; temporal-overlap scope (default pending product sign-off, see
  module doc); visual zone only; same-file reference scoping; persistTrack
  via the shared authored-space rules. null for non-clips (menu stays
  z-only) and at-extreme/no-overlap cases.
- useCanvasZOrderTimelineMirror.ts: after the z commit resolves, the mirror
  persists the lane move through the same machinery as a timeline lane drag
  (optimistic store update, authoredTrack refresh, rollback); inserts reuse
  commitTrackInsert's renumber via a shared buildTrackInsertEdits core. Both
  writes share one coalesce key (zReorderCoalesceKey) and fold into ONE undo
  entry (test proves it over the real history reducer). The mirror never
  triggers the lane->z stacking sync, so it cannot fight the z values the
  action just set.
- timelineZOverride.ts + TimelineClip badge: clips whose paint order
  contradicts lane order among temporally-overlapping same-context visual
  neighbors (laneIsAbove XOR paintsAbove, the stacking-sync predicates) show
  a 'z' badge — authored z overrides are surfaced instead of silently
  disagreeing with the timeline.
- Timeline.tsx track derivations extracted to useTimelineTrackDerivations
  (600-line cap).

* fix(studio): fold mirrored z-order gestures into one undo entry across slow persists

Live verification caught the z write and the mirrored lane write splitting
into two undo entries: the mirror runs after the z persist's server round
trip, which exceeds editHistory's default 300ms coalesce window under real
latency (the unit test's deterministic clock sat inside it).

zReorderCoalesceKey now mints a per-gesture-unique key (monotonic seq, the
laneChangeGestureSeq precedent) and both records carry coalesceMs Infinity —
distinct gestures can never merge, and one gesture always folds regardless
of write latency. coalesceMs threaded through the persist chain alongside
coalesceKey. Also hardens the existing lane-drag move->z fold, which had the
same latent split. Fold test now simulates a 400ms gap (failed before the
fix, passes after); a two-separate-gestures test asserts two entries.

* feat(studio): flashless lane mirror, z-order menu icons, close-gap track menu

- Track-only batch moves (the z-mirror's lane hop and the insert renumber)
  skip the GSAP fallback round-trip and the preview reload entirely — the
  renderer never reads data-track-index, and the live DOM patch + optimistic
  store update cover the UI. Mixed batches keep current behavior. Kills the
  canvas blink on mirrored Bring/Send actions (live-verified: an
  iframe-scoped marker survives the whole gesture).
- The four z-order menu items get 16px stroke icons (single layer diamond +
  directional arrow for Forward/Backward; pierced two-layer stack for
  Front/Back); labels unchanged — they are the industry-standard names.
- New track context menu on empty lane space: 'Close gap' (shifts the next
  clip and every clip after it on that lane left by the clicked gap's width;
  leading gaps count, so a single clip with empty space before it compacts
  to 0) and 'Close all gaps' (whole lane contiguous from 0). Pure gap math
  in timelineGaps.ts; persists through the drag path's atomic batch move
  (one undo per action); refuses when a clip that must shift is locked;
  items disable when there is nothing to close.

* fix(studio): rebind-only preview sync for unmutated timing edits, classical z-menu order

Timing edits that rewrote NO GSAP positions (gap closes and moves of
selector-addressed caption clips, zero-delta batches, comps without a
rewritable script) full-reloaded the preview — and the rerun-current-scripts
attempt was wrong for real compositions: re-executing init-style scripts
(three.js scenes, caption engines) is exactly the unsafe case, verified live
by doubled init warnings and a fallback reload anyway.

The correct observation: when mutated === false the existing __timelines are
still valid — only the runtime's clip visibility windows are stale, and the
live DOM timing attributes were already patched. So the no-mutation path now
runs applySoftReloadFinalization only (seek + __hfForceTimelineRebind +
manual-edits reapply), extracted from the soft-reload machinery — zero
script execution. This also un-blinks comps with no GSAP script at all,
which previously always remounted. Rewritten-script soft reloads,
cannot-soft-reload, otherFileChanged, and mutation failures keep their
existing behavior. gsapSoftReload's undo/redo restore section moved verbatim
to gsapUndoRestore.ts for the 600-line cap.

Also: z-order menu items reordered to the classical arrangement (Bring to
Front, Bring Forward, Send Backward, Send to Back).

Live-verified on a three.js-heavy composition: Close-all-gaps shifted 4
caption clips with correct cumulative amounts, the preview iframe was never
remounted (marker survived), and one undo reverted everything.

* fix(studio): bound forward/backward mirror to a one-element step

User-specified semantic: Bring Forward / Send Backward move the clip past
EXACTLY ONE element. The mirror's lane target is now bounded by the next
temporally-overlapping element beyond the crossed neighbor: a free lane
strictly between the two is taken (closest to the neighbor), and when they
are back-to-back a new track is inserted immediately beyond the crossed
element — never past the second one. Previously the resolver took the
closest free lane anywhere beyond the neighbor, which could carry the track
past a second element while the z action only stepped past one — a
track/paint contradiction our own zOverride badge would flag. Front/back
keep whole-set semantics (past everything; back stays above the audio
zone). End-to-end test pins the 3-stacked case through commitZMirrorLaneMove
to the persisted renumbered tracks.

* feat(studio): permanent gap-menu rows with hover and click-select gap highlights

- TrackGapContextMenu always renders both rows; an inapplicable action dims
  with a tooltip ("No gap here" / lock reason / "No gaps on this track")
  instead of vanishing into a one-item menu. Width badge only when a gap
  exists under the pointer.
- Hovering an ACTIONABLE row highlights the strip(s) it would close in the
  timeline: the single gap for Close gap, every current gap (leading included)
  for Close all gaps. New resolveAllGapIntervals in timelineGaps.ts reports
  present-state intervals (epsilon-tolerant, overlap-safe), distinct from
  resolveAllTrackGaps' post-compaction starts.
- Click-selecting a single clip paints a quieter tint over its lane's gaps
  (suppressed for marquee multi-selection and during drags; the gap-menu hover
  wins on its own lane). Derivation lives in useTimelineGapHighlights with the
  pure buildTimelineGapStrips exported and unit-tested.
- Strips render in TimelineCanvas with the drop-placeholder geometry (row top
  + clip inset), dashed accent for hover, faint tint for selection.
- Timeline.tsx stayed under the 600-line cap by extracting the scroll-viewport
  plumbing (ResizeObserver width + shortcut-hint sync) into
  useTimelineScrollViewport, behavior unchanged.

* feat(studio): stronger capcut-style timeline zoom steps

One button press / pinch gesture now moves the zoom meaningfully: step
factors 1.25x/0.8x -> 1.5x/(2/3) (kept reciprocal so in+out round-trips) and
pinch sensitivity 0.0035 -> 0.007. Addresses "zooming several times to get
anywhere" feedback; cursor anchoring unchanged.

* feat(studio): three-way z sync — layers drags mirror timeline lanes, panel tracks live z edits

Completes the layers/canvas/timeline sync triangle: the Layers panel was the
one surface whose reorders never reached the timeline, and the one that went
stale when the other two wrote z flashlessly.

- Layers drag -> minimal z + equal-jump lane mirror. handleReorder now uses
  the canvas menu's realization core via resolveZOrderReposition (one
  between-z write when a strict gap exists, band-safe scoped renumber
  otherwise) instead of computeReorderZValues' all-sibling stamp — that
  helper is deleted, completing the #2347 unification follow-up. The drop
  then mirrors into a timeline lane move through the same machinery as the
  canvas menu (new resolveRepositionLaneMove: the clip lands on a free lane
  strictly between its NEW paint neighbors' lanes — nearest clip siblings in
  the desired render order, decorations skipped — else a track insert at
  that boundary; audio zone never crossed). Both writes share one
  per-gesture zReorderCoalesceKey with an unbounded fold window, so a drag
  is exactly ONE undo entry; useCanvasZOrderTimelineMirror's plumbing is
  factored into useMirrorLaneMoveCommit and reused by the new
  useLayerReorderTimelineMirror. A same-slot drop is a hard no-op (new
  order-equality guard in resolveZOrderReposition).
- Panel staleness fix: flashless z commits (skipReload) reload nothing and
  bump no refreshKey, so the panel's z-sorted order went stale while paused.
  handleDomZIndexReorderCommit now bumps a store zEditVersion on apply AND
  rollback; the panel re-collects on it. Verified live: the panel re-sorts
  the instant a drag commits and again on undo.
- Layer click reveal (useLayerRevealOverride): clicking a layer that stays
  hidden at the current frame (animation-parked opacity, non-clip
  display/visibility hides, hidden ancestors) temporarily forces the chain
  visible with live inline styles — exact priors restored on deselect, on
  another reveal, on play, and on unmount; never persisted (file diff == 0
  verified live). Clips keep the existing seek-into-window behavior; the
  override applies on a short defer so a seek-revealed clip needs none.
- layerOrdering's unused hasExplicitZIndex probe (zero callers) removed.

Live-verified on a bed copy: a 2-position layers drag wrote exactly one
element (z 6->23 + data-track-index 15->2), the timeline lane moved without
a reload, and a single Cmd+Z restored the file byte-identically.

* feat(studio): full-track selection highlight, borderless gap hover strips

- Click-selecting a clip now lights the WHOLE lane minus its clips — leading
  gap, inter-clip gaps, and the open space after the last clip to the rendered
  end (new resolveLaneEmptyIntervals; displayDuration threaded into the strip
  derivation). Still click-only: any drag/resize suppresses the strips, and a
  marquee multi-select never shows them.
- The gap-menu hover strips drop the dashed border (user feedback) — fill only,
  nudged to 0.18 alpha to keep the same visual weight.

* feat(studio): selected layer paints on top via a reader-transparent z lift

Clicking a layer in the Layers tab now shows the element as if it were at the
very top of the stack while selected — whatever its authored z or panel
position — extending the reveal override (which already forced hidden chains
visible) with a temporary inline z lift:

- liftElementToTop parks the TRUE effective z in data-hf-reveal-prior-z and
  writes a far-top inline z; a static element gets a layout-preserving
  position:relative with its prior parked in data-hf-reveal-prior-pos. Only
  the RENDERER sees the lift: all three studio z readers
  (readTimelineElementZIndex, getElementZIndex, readEffectiveZIndex) return
  the parked prior while the attribute is present, so the canvas z-menu, the
  zOverride badge, the lane mirror, the stacking sync, and the panel sort
  keep reasoning on the element's real z.
- Strictly ephemeral: exact priors restored on deselect / another reveal /
  play / unmount, each property only while it still holds the value the
  override wrote (a later real edit is never clobbered). File diff == 0
  verified live across a full lift/restore cycle.
- A z-reorder commit CONSUMES an active lift (handleDomZIndexReorderCommit
  reads the parked position for its persist-position:relative static check,
  then drops the attributes) — the committed z becomes the truth and the
  later restore is a guarded no-op.

* fix(studio): flashless undo/redo — three full-reload causes in the soft-restore path

Cmd+Z blinked the canvas on essentially every undo. Three independent causes
in applyUndoRestoreToPreview, each sufficient on its own:

1. Master-view path gate: activeCompPath is NULL at the master view, so the
   'paths[0] === activeCompPath' eligibility check could never match the
   index.html restore and every default-view undo full-reloaded at the first
   gate. Normalized to the codebase-wide 'activeCompPath ?? "index.html"'.
2. Nested identity innerHTML check: the diff compared each identified
   element's innerHTML, but the composition root wraps every clip — any child
   change re-detected at the root rejected the restore. Change detection now
   compares only each element's OWN attribute surface; structure/text
   integrity is still guaranteed by the normalize-residual whole-doc pass
   (text nodes, added/removed elements, and un-identified attrs all remain
   after normalization and force the full reload).
3. id-only identity: elements addressed by data-hf-id / selector (no DOM id)
   fell outside the diff entirely. Identity is now id OR data-hf-id, with the
   live sync resolving either.

Also stop re-running an UNCHANGED GSAP script: attribute-only restores (z,
lane, timing, style — the overwhelmingly common undo) now use the rebind-only
finalization (seek + __hfForceTimelineRebind + manual reapply, zero script
execution — the same path as flashless timing edits), instead of tearing down
and rebuilding live timelines or full-reloading when the script can't be
scoped. A restore whose script text genuinely changed still re-runs it via
applySoftReload, and structural restores (split/delete) still full-reload.

Live-verified on the bed (iframe marker): gap-close undo AND redo both keep
the iframe mounted, live DOM lands on the restored values, disk restored
byte-identically.

* feat(studio): left breathing pad before t=0, double zoom sensitivity again

TRACKS_LEFT_PAD (48px) — the horizontal sibling of TRACKS_TOP_PAD: empty lane
surface between the sticky gutter and the ruler's 00:00 / the first clips,
scrolling WITH the content.

- The lanes and the ruler realize it as a plain flow spacer between the
  sticky gutter cell and the time-mapped content div, so every
  content-relative computation (clip left = t*pps, beat lines, lane-menu
  time, clip drag deltas) is untouched by construction.
- Canvas-space overlays shift by the pad: playhead (getTimelinePlayheadLeft),
  gap strips, drop placeholder, snap guide, range highlight, marquee clip
  rects, beat SVG; the insert line spans the pad.
- Every pointer->time inverse subtracts it symmetrically: seekFromX, razor,
  range/marquee anchors, asset drops, and the zoom-anchor gutter basis; fit
  pps and the display width account for the consumed viewport width.
- Live-verified: t=0 clip edge, the 00:00 tick, and the playhead line center
  all sit at GUTTER + TRACKS_LEFT_PAD, and a ruler click lands the playhead
  center exactly under the pointer.

Also doubles the timeline zoom sensitivity again (user feedback after
feel-testing the first bump): button steps 1.5x/(2/3) -> 2x/0.5, pinch
0.007 -> 0.014.

* fix(studio): left pad renders as true empty space, not lane surface

The pad before t=0 inherited each row's background and bottom border from the
row wrapper, so it read as track lanes. Lane visuals now live on the cells:
the sticky gutter keeps its own separator (header column stays delineated),
the time-mapped content div carries the row background + separator, and the
pad spacer stays transparent — bare shell background, no lines. The
new-track insertion line also starts at the pad's end instead of crossing it.

* fix(studio): no vertical line in the ruler band before 00:00

The ruler corner's right border drew the header-boundary line through the
ruler strip, so the band didn't read as starting at 00:00. Dropped it — the
boundary line belongs to the track rows below; the ruler stays completely
clean from the panel edge to the first tick, matching the empty left pad.

* refactor(studio): remove the timeline z-override badge

User decision: the "z" chip on clips never earned its place — dropped
entirely (timelineZOverride.ts + test deleted, TimelineClip badge rendering
and the zOverrideKeys derivation/threading removed). This also eliminates the
review's D2 finding at the root: the badge's cross-document comparison
(stackingContextId ?? null collides across source files in the expanded view)
produced false positives, and there is no longer a detector to mis-fire.
overlapsInTime/paintsAbove lose their export (the badge was their only
external consumer); the paint-order predicate itself is unchanged.

* fix(studio): collision-free expanded child lanes and host-window gap floors

Review findings D1 (blocker) and 4.

- D1: buildChildElements assigned expanded children synthetic display rows as
  `host.track + index` — integers that can EQUAL a real clip's lane in another
  file (host on 0 with two children puts child #2 on 1). Lane grouping merges
  purely by track number, so the collision fused clips from different source
  files into one display lane, and lane-scoped actions (the gap menu) then
  batch-persisted a foreign file's clip. Children now take FRACTIONS strictly
  between the host's lane and the next integer — structurally unable to
  collide with any normalized lane, while still rendering as ordered rows
  under the host. Regression test pins the reviewer's exact two-file scenario.
- Finding 4: gap math compacted toward absolute 0, but an expanded child's
  display time is host-anchored — close/compact could drag it before its host
  window and persist a wrong (even negative) local time. All gap functions
  now take a lane FLOOR (laneGapFloor: 0 for ordinary lanes, the children's
  expandedParentStart for child lanes — single-origin per lane post-D1),
  threaded through the menu model, hover highlights, selected-lane strips,
  and both commits. Close-gap shifts clamp at the gap's own left edge.

* fix(studio): scope mirror references, insert writes, and crossed-neighbor identity

Review findings 1, 2, and 3.

- Finding 1: buildTrackInsertEdits normalized the FULL display set and
  persisted every shifted clip — writing host-lane numbers into OTHER
  composition files when expanded children were showing. The renumber write
  set is now the edited element's own source file (the sanctioned multi-write
  converges one FILE to lane space, never neighbors' files); foreign clips
  keep their authored tracks and re-derive display lanes. The locked-clip
  refusal scopes the same way. Expanded-origin elements refuse the insert
  outright (a new lane is a host-space renumber, meaningless in the child's
  file), and the mirrors restrict an expanded child's lane candidates to its
  own siblings' lanes — a sub-comp child still mirrors WITHIN its sub-comp
  (persisting the sibling's authored track) but can never land on a host lane
  with no same-file occupant. authoredTrackForLane's offset fallback rounds:
  fractional synthetic rows must never leak fractions into data-track-index.
- Finding 2: the mirror comparison sets required only sameSourceFile, but a
  file can contain several CSS stacking contexts and leaf z is only
  comparable within one. Both resolvers now scope by samePaintScope — same
  source file AND same stackingContextId (the file check also stops null root
  contexts of different files from comparing equal in the expanded view).
- Finding 3: the crossed-neighbor key was derived without selectorIndex, so
  duplicate class selectors (.sub) resolved to occurrence 0 — a different
  clip. The key now carries getSelectorIndex, matching how z-reorder entries
  derive theirs.

* fix(studio): z-to-lane gestures are one serialized transaction gated on durable persists

Review findings 5 and 7.

- Finding 5: commitDomEditPatchBatches resolved successfully even when the
  server matched NO patch target — the z write never reached disk (the
  preview reloads to reconverge) yet the lane mirror still ran, desyncing
  track order from what actually paints. The commit now resolves a durability
  report ({allMatched, changed}; the save queue and commit types are generic
  over the result), and the mirror phase is skipped on allMatched === false.
- Finding 7: the z persist rides the DOM-edit save queue while the lane move
  rides the timeline/SDK path — two queues, so a second rapid gesture's z
  write could land BETWEEN the first gesture's z and lane phases. Every
  z-to-lane gesture (canvas z-order menu AND Layers-panel drag) now runs
  through runZLaneGesture: a single module-level tail that serializes the
  COMPLETE two-phase transaction, with unit tests for ordering, the
  durability gate, and queue resilience to failed gestures. The timeline
  lane-drag's inverse (move-then-z-sync) shares its phases' await ordering
  already; cross-gesture serialization for that path is noted as follow-up.
- LayersPanel's pure sort helpers moved to layersPanelSort.ts (600-line cap).

* fix(studio): multi-clip GSAP batch mutations roll back on late failure

Review finding 6. finishGroupTimingGsapFallback mutates files sequentially
per clip; a late per-clip failure left the earlier rewrites on disk with no
aggregate history entry — unreachable by undo. foldGsapMutationIntoHistory
already snapshots every touched path before mutating; on a mutation failure
it now restores each path whose disk content changed (all-or-nothing batch),
reports restore errors without masking the original failure, and rethrows.
Regression test drives a two-clip batch whose second rewrite fails and
asserts the first clip's write is restored byte-identically.

ukimsanov a33b3f35e1 fix(studio): address PR #2347 review findings (rounds 1-2)
Review 1 (restore commit):
- asset reveal now clears any open preview overlay (stuck-overlay repro:
  preview on A, click already-added B — A stayed open over the reveal)
- duration readout rolls back on failed persist: captureDurationRollback
  snapshots store + live root data-duration before the optimistic sync and
  restores both in every move/resize/delete/group catch (golden's
  previousDuration pattern)
- asset preview opened during running playback dismisses immediately (the
  RAF loop bypasses the store, so the subscription alone never fired)
- persistTimelineBatchEdit resolves the target (findTagByTarget) before
  treating identical output as a no-op — a mistargeted member now throws
  like the single-element path instead of being silently dropped
- a post-mutation history-fold failure no longer suppresses the preview
  sync: fold errors are surfaced separately and the rewritten script still
  syncs (previously the preview kept stale GSAP positions with no recovery)
- timelineRevealScroll guards degenerate viewports (windowSize <= 0)
- CodeQL: encodeURIComponent(projectId) at all timelineTimingSync fetches

Review 2 (single-source-of-truth pass):
- createTimelineElementFromManifestClip — the one manifest->element
  boundary — now carries authoredTrack and stackingContextId; expanded
  sub-comp children preserve both (authoredTrack in their OWN file's space)
- authoredTrackForLane scopes occupants to the dragged clip's sourceFile
  (a foreign file's authored values are a different coordinate space);
  nearest-same-file-lane offset fallback
- optimistic store updates mirror the persisted track into authoredTrack
  (and roll it back on failure), so consecutive drags before a reload
  resolve from fresh data
- spill sub-lanes: documented decision — dropping onto a spill lane is a
  legitimate same-track join (occupants share the authored track by
  construction); false 'never a lane-move target' docstring rewritten
- single-element fallback persists vertical-only moves (early return now
  requires neither start nor track changed; live DOM patch includes
  data-track-index)
- canonical contextKey helper for stacking-context normalization
- new pipeline test crosses the REAL factory boundary (sparse authored
  tracks -> factory -> expansion -> normalize -> drag commit -> persisted
  attribute), no injected fields

ukimsanov 84963ea8ba fix(studio): persist canvas z-order actions correctly for static elements
An adversarial review of the canvas context-menu z-order pipeline (Bring to
Front / Forward / Backward / Send to Back) found the resolver math sound but
the glue between the menu and the commit hook broken:

- The menu optimistically wrote style.zIndex AND position: relative to the
  live elements BEFORE the commit hook ran. The hook decides whether to
  persist position by checking getComputedStyle(el).position === 'static' —
  always false after the pre-apply — so the position patch was never
  persisted on the menu path and the reorder silently reverted at the
  post-commit reload for any nested/static element (root clips survive only
  because the runtime forces position:absolute). The same pre-apply made the
  failure rollback capture the already-mutated values, restoring the broken
  state on persist errors. The menu no longer pre-applies; the hook owns the
  live writes (it already applied both synchronously) and now sees true
  priors. Siblings without a persistable identity still get their z applied
  live-only so a renumber stays visually coherent.
- The commit hook's entry.key store-sync plumbing had zero production
  callers; the store zIndex went stale until full reload. All three callers
  (canvas menu via PreviewOverlays, timeline lane z-sync, LayersPanel) now
  derive and pass the timeline store key (new deriveTimelineStoreKey helper).
- patchElementBatch discarded the server's per-patch matched[]; unresolvable
  siblings persisted partially and silently. Unmatched targets now warn and
  report save-failure telemetry (z-reorder-unmatched) without rolling back
  the matched subset.
- template/noscript elements counted as painting siblings, so renumber
  fallbacks wrote z-index/position into <template> tags in the source file.
  Excluded from the sibling family.
- The default undo coalesce key merged DISTINCT z actions within 300ms into
  one undo entry; the action kind is now part of the key (LayersPanel drags
  keep coalescing within a drag; explicit lane-move gesture keys untouched).
- rectsIntersect comment claimed touching rects intersect; the strict
  inequalities say otherwise — comment fixed.

NLE exports, DomEditOverlay + gestures + AssetContextMenu + Timeline props
gain optional callbacks/params, contexts gain *Optional hooks, and
TimelineEditCallbacks.onMoveElements becomes a bivariant method accepting
both engines' change shapes. patchDocumentRootDuration's test rides along.

Why: this is the keystone that dissolves the old "welded glue" problem —
every symbol the NLE components need is ADDED next to what the old engine
still uses, so the engine components and the swaps can land as separate
reviewable PRs.

How: 15 authored intermediate files (main content + additive symbols; no
behavior changes — new fields optional, new callbacks unused until wired)
plus 6 files whose final content is already purely additive. New exports
without consumers yet carry TEMP(studio-dnd) ignoreExports entries, removed
by the app-shell swap.

Test plan: tsc --noEmit in studio + studio-server (verifies BOTH engines
compile); bunx vitest run (full suite green incl. the 6 new
patchDocumentRootDuration tests); fallow audit clean.

* feat(studio): timeline interaction hooks and lanes component (unwired)

What: the timeline-side wiring layer, unwired: TimelineLanes (the lane
renderer driving drag/resize/marquee), timelineMarquee (+tests),
useTimelineStackingSync, useTimelineGeometry, useTimelineEditPinning,
useTimelineEditingDrops.

Why: everything between the pure drag math and <Timeline> itself; the
timeline-glue swap PR then only rewires Timeline/TimelineCanvas onto these.

How: new files, tsc-clean against the coexistence layer. Unwired components
carry TEMP(studio-dnd) entry registrations, removed at the app-shell swap.

Test plan: bunx vitest run timelineMarquee.test.ts; tsc --noEmit; fallow
audit clean.

* feat(studio): NLE shell assembly (unwired)

What: EditorShell (the full editor layout replacing NLELayout +
StudioPreviewArea), TimelinePane (timeline host with sub-comp rebasing) and
useTimelineEditCallbacks (the callback bag bridging store edits to the
timeline), all unwired.

Why: the shell that App swaps to in the final step; reviewing it standalone
keeps that swap PR small.

How: new files against the coexistence layer; TEMP(studio-dnd) entries
until App mounts EditorShell in the app-shell swap.

Test plan: tsc --noEmit; bunx vitest run (suite unchanged); fallow audit
clean.

* feat(studio): timeline glue swap — Timeline/TimelineCanvas onto the NLE engine

What: flips the timeline glue to its final form (23 files): Timeline and
TimelineCanvas rebuilt on TimelineLanes/TimelineOverlays, useTimelineClipDrag
drives preview/commit through the new drag engine, range selection goes
multi-select, playback loop moves to useTimelinePlayerLoop. Deletes the 9
old-engine files this orphans (group drag, marquee selection, snap targets,
layer gutter, selection overlays + their suites) — each is compile- or
gate-forced by this swap, verified by probe.

Why: second swap step; timeline-only, canvas and App untouched.

How: modified files to final content + forced deletions.
playerStore/timelineEditing/timelineCallbacks stay at their coexistence
form until the app swap (the old App still runs on them).

Test plan: tsc --noEmit; bunx vitest run (full suite); fallow audit clean.

* feat(studio): clip thumbnail modules

What: ImageThumbnail (+tests) and thumbnailUtils (+tests) — frame decode
with SVG/AVIF format fallbacks and rounded-corner clipping — plus
VideoThumbnail updates.

Why: the decode layer for timeline clip thumbnails, ahead of the visual
refresh that renders them.

How: new modules + one modified file; purely presentational.

Test plan: bunx vitest run on both test files; tsc --noEmit; fallow audit
clean.

* feat(studio): assets/blocks panel behaviors + preview helpers

What: blocks tab install flow, right-panel and global drag-overlay polish,
music beat analysis and clip-content rendering hooks, and the
preview-helper utilities backing asset preview.

Why: completes the studio NLE stack on top of the visual refresh.

How: modified files only (kept as one PR: splitting further would produce
sub-150-LOC fragments of interdependent panel glue).

Test plan: bunx vitest run studioPreviewHelpers/studioUrlState suites; tsc
--noEmit; fallow audit clean.

* fix(studio): preserve graded resize and crop geometry

* fix(studio): log resize/rotate commit failures, move anchor accumulator to resize-local

* fix(studio): treat duration-0 tweens as static holds and settle resize position before persist

Instant holds (to()/fromTo() with duration 0) were classified as animated
tweens by every commit route, so resizing or rotating them converted the
hold into a corrupt duration-0 keyframes tween (new value at 0%, old at
100%) that GSAP drops; panel edits appended a losing set. A shared
isInstantHold() now routes them through the static replace-in-place path,
and percentage math guards zero-duration windows.

Separately, anchored-corner resizes painted 3-5 frames at the new size but
old position while the offset persist round-tripped the server. The commit
path now applies the corrected GSAP position synchronously before awaiting
the offset persist, mirroring the scale route's settle.

* feat(studio): gesture-transaction seam with commit observability

Introduce runGestureTransaction — one owner for a gesture commit's
settle -> persist -> record lifecycle. It settles the live DOM
synchronously before any async persist, folds every mutation into one
undo entry via a per-transaction coalesceKey, restores pre-gesture state
exactly once on failure, and asserts (dev console) + reports (PostHog:
commit_transaction / commit_invariant_violation / commit_transaction_failed)
that a persist never changes pixels. The box-size resize path is migrated
onto it; the ad hoc per-route coalesceKey/reload handling is removed.

Extract the resize draft-rect math into resizeDraft.ts to keep the
gesture-handler file under the size cap.

Also: keep url_hash telemetry to the route slug only (drop the query
string, which carried the user's selected element id/selector), and gate
the [hf-resize] diagnostics behind localStorage hf-resize-debug so they
ship as opt-in tracing rather than console noise.

* fix(studio): transaction owns the undo label

The coalesced history entry took the last sub-mutation's label, so a
resize surfaced as "Move layer" (the offset persist) in undo/redo. The
seam now stamps tx.label on every wrapped mutation, so the folded entry
reads as the gesture.

* fix(studio): atomic static size/position commits (no data loss)

Static resize/position holds updated an existing set via delete+add — two
undo entries, and a delete that succeeded before a failed add lost the
hold on disk. Use one in-place update-properties mutation when a set
exists (one undo entry, no partial-failure window). The keyframed-hold
heal that can't be expressed as a property update now adds before it
deletes, so any single failure leaves a recoverable duplicate, never a
lost hold. Transaction-owned commits are tracked via a WeakSet so the
heal path never double-wraps an already-wrapped gesture.

* fix(core): restore timed-clip visibility after a forced timeline rebind

__hfForceTimelineRebind force-rendered the re-registered timeline but never
re-ran the per-[data-start] visibility pass, so after undo or soft reload
every clip rendered regardless of its time window until a full page reload.
Extract the visibility loop into syncTimedElementVisibility and call it from
both syncMediaForCurrentState (unchanged) and the rebind.

* fix(studio): atomic z-order/keyframe/split commits, one undo entry each

Three edit-commit paths hardened onto the one-transaction invariant:

- Z-order reorder (useElementLifecycleOps): N per-element writes now fold
  into one undo entry (coalesceMs Infinity) and, on a failed persist,
  restore already-written files to disk so no partial reorder survives.
- Enable-keyframes (useEnableKeyframes/useGsapKeyframeOps): the intermediate
  convert phase no longer full-reloads the preview (skipReload), killing the
  black-flash remount; convert + edit share one coalesce key = one undo entry.
- Razor split-all (useRazorSplit): snapshot before the batch and restore on
  any failure, so a mid-batch error never leaves un-revertable partial splits.

Shared file-history helpers (RecordEditInput, DomEditCommitBaseParams,
readProjectFileContent, restoreFilesToOriginal) dedupe the rollback/commit
logic across these paths. Commit options thread as one partial object rather
than field-by-field. Test setup extracted into colocated helpers.

* fix(studio): fold multi-step edits into one undo entry; guard text revert

- Gesture recording (useGestureCommit): the per-property-group commits now
  share one coalesce key and only the last reloads, so a recording is one
  undo entry and one preview reload instead of up to four.
- Delete selected keyframes (deleteSelectedKeyframes, split out of
  timelineEditingHelpers): N removals fold into one coalesced undo entry
  with a single reload.
- Text-field commit (useDomEditTextCommits): commitDomTextFields now uses
  the same version-guarded revert as handleDomTextCommit, so a stale failed
  commit can no longer stomp a newer successful one.

* feat(studio): batch a gesture's mutations into one atomic server write

A transaction that emits N mutations previously did N sequential POSTs,
each rewriting the file and soft-reloading — the root of the multi-phase
persist window. Add a gsap-mutations-batch endpoint that validates every
mutation up front, applies them in one in-memory rewrite chain, and writes
the file once (all-or-nothing: an invalid entry rejects the whole batch,
no partial write). The seam buffers a transaction's commits and, when more
than one targets the same file, dispatches a single batch — one write, one
history entry, one reload. The batch capability rides on the existing
commit-function reference; no option fields are threaded through callers.

* fix(studio): soften off-canvas indicator outline to 30% opacity

The dashed off-canvas selection outline at 60% was noisy with many
protruding elements on screen; drop the resting opacity to 30% (hover
still restores full opacity so it stays discoverable).

* fix(studio): drop off-canvas indicator outline to 10% opacity

Follow-up to the 30% softening — 10% resting opacity reads much calmer
with many protruding elements; hover still restores full opacity.

* fix(studio): gate [hf-commit] console traces to dev only

The start/settled/persisted/restore lifecycle traces logged on every
gesture commit in all environments — console noise for end users. Route
them through a dev-only traceCommit helper (matching the pixel-violation
error's existing DEV gate). The commit_* PostHog events stay always on;
they are the production observability, the console lines are a dev aid.

* fix(studio): count actual reloads, not softReload requests, in commit telemetry

A resize's size and offset persists both request softReload; the seam
counted each request, so a batched gesture reported reload_count 2 even
though the batch is one write and one reload. Compute the count from what
dispatchBufferedCommits actually did — one for a batch, the request count
for the sequential fallback.

* fix(studio): rotate hover + off-canvas overlays with the element; flicker-free crop

- Hover overlay applied the element's rotation only to the selection chrome,
  not the hover box; it now rotates about center like the selection, via a
  shared orientedGroupAwareOverlayRect router (one owner for rotation-aware
  overlay geometry across hover/selection/off-canvas).
- Off-canvas indicator was axis-aligned; it now rotates with the element and
  inverse-rotates the canvas-exclusion clip into the element's local frame,
  so the protruding-sliver clip stays correct for rotated elements.
- Crop commit re-lifted the element only in the commit's .then(), so one
  frame painted the cropped state (the flicker). Re-lift synchronously right
  after onStyleCommit (which applies the clip before its first await), so the
  cropped state never paints; the persisted file value is unchanged.

* fix(studio): address code-review findings across the commit-hardening campaign

Correctness (would ship green, bite under latency):
- Enable-keyframes phase 2 now carries coalesceMs: Infinity, so the convert
  folds into one undo entry instead of splitting past the 300ms default.
- The SDK keyframe persist path forwards coalesceMs (CutoverOptions gains the
  field); multi-keyframe delete and convert coalesce correctly when SDK-routed.
- Razor split-all's rollback is guarded so a failing restore can't swallow the
  error toast that tells the user the split failed.

Simplification (single source of truth / no dead flexibility):
- Decompose resolveResizeDraftRect (drops a fallow-ignore suppression).
- Delegate the third readProjectFileContent copy to the shared helper.
- Inline setPatchFromUpdateProperties (its only caller passes one mutation).
- One toSdkPersistOptions translates gesture overrides to SDK options.
- Bundle the reorder-rollback deps into one object (was 7-9 positional args).
- Dedupe the 'last group reloads' ternary; type gesture options as
  CommitMutationOptions; drop a Map+array wrapper around a single write.

* feat(studio): atomic z-order reorder via batch patch-element endpoint

Z-order reorder issued N per-element inline-style patches (one server
write each), so a mid-chain failure could leave a partial reorder on disk.
Add a patch-elements-batch endpoint that validates every patch, folds them
over the file in one in-memory rewrite, and writes once (all-or-nothing;
unsafe input rejects with no write). The reorder now sends one batch per
source file and records one undo entry. Because a failed atomic write
persists nothing, the interim disk-write-back rollback (restoreReorderedFile
/ restoreFulfilledReorderFiles / ReorderRollbackDeps) is deleted — failure
rolls back only live DOM/store state. Closes the last disk-atomicity gap.

* fix(studio): razor-split undo no longer silently no-ops

The split clone was written to disk without a data-hf-id, so the split
endpoint recorded that unstamped HTML as the undo entry's afterHash. The
next reloadPreview() ran the preview route's ensureHfIds write-back, which
minted a fresh id and persisted DIFFERENT bytes — so at undo time the disk
hash no longer matched afterHash and editHistory's content-mismatch guard
silently refused the undo (no write, no network, no error). Stamp the split
output via ensureHfIds in splitElementInHtml before it is written/returned,
so the preview write-back is a no-op and the recorded afterHash always
equals the final on-disk bytes. Fixes at the source rather than relaxing the
mismatch guard. Corrects the stale comment that credited forceReloadSdkSession.

* feat(studio): closed-hand grab cursor on the rotate handle

The rotate handle used the default arrow cursor; show a grabbing
(closed-hand) cursor on hover to signal it's grabbed and dragged to rotate.

* fix(studio): dropping a dragged element over another no longer selects it

A moved drag's release fired the box click, which re-selected whatever now
sat under the pointer via the hover cache — so dropping an element over a
higher-z one selected the drop target instead of keeping the dragged
element selected. The drag-move branch now suppresses the next box click,
mirroring the resize branch.

* fix(studio): group drag is one undo entry, not one per element

Dragging a multi-selected group committed each member's position write as
its own undo entry, so reverting took N Cmd+Z presses. Force a shared
coalesceKey (infinite window) across every member's commit so they fold
into a single undo entry, like the other multi-step commit paths.

* fix(studio): undo of a split no longer leaves a ghost clip in the timeline

The file and the composition iframe revert correctly on undo, but the
timeline panel kept a ghost node for the split clone. The element-merge
that repopulates the timeline preserves elements the fresh scan dropped —
intended for enriched sub-composition children a bare DOM re-scan misses,
but it also preserved a genuinely-removed TOP-LEVEL element (the split
clone after undo), leaving a phantom clip. Restrict the preserve to
elements with a compositionSrc (the enriched sub-comp children); a
top-level element missing from the fresh scan was truly removed.

Miguel Angel Simon Sierra e5ed512529 feat(studio): timeline track = stacking layer (NLE-style layering)
Re-architect the timeline row model from data-track-index rows to stacking
layers. Rows represent stacking layers per context: explicit-z clips merge onto
one track when they share a z and don't overlap in time; auto-z clips stay one
row each (DOM order); audio is pulled into its own bottom lanes. Rows keyed by a
stable layer id, not data-track-index.

Vertical drag always writes z-index, never track: drop onto a layer joins it
(same z), between layers interpolates a new z, past the ends creates a new
front/back layer. data-track-index is never rewritten; #958 holds. Adds
hasExplicitZIndex capture (computed z != auto).

L1: hasExplicitZIndex on the element model
L2: buildStackingTimelineLayers (layer-based rows)
L3: layer-aware vertical drag (join / interpolate / new-extreme)
2026-07-08 23:46:25 -04:00
Miguel Angel Simon Sierra 03f8089e52 fix(studio): capture effective (computed) z-index for timeline ordering
createTimelineElementFromManifestClip used `clip.zIndex ?? computed`, but the
runtime reports inline-only z-index (0 for CSS-rule authored z-index), and
`0 ?? x` keeps the 0 — so every CSS-styled clip collapsed to a z=0 tie. The
timeline then ordered rows by DOM position instead of true stacking, and the
first vertical drag renumbered the whole tie group, clobbering the author's
z-index. Prefer the effective computed read from the live element (the same
read the reorder commit uses); fall back to the runtime value only when the
element isn't live.
2026-07-08 23:46:25 -04:00
Miguel Angel Simon Sierra 5ce362299c refactor(studio): single-source the timeline stacking key + guard audio reorder
The element stacking key (element.key ?? id) was recomputed in four places
(reorder-intent generation, row ordering, the commit-time sibling lookup via a
threaded keyOf param, and resolveTimelineMove). Any drift would silently break
the sibling lookup and no-op the reorder. Route all of them through the existing
getTimelineElementIdentity owner, share one toStackingOrderItem mapper between
row ordering and reorder intent, and drop the keyOf parameter.

Also enforce the audio side-effect invariant in the single mutation owner
(applyTimelineStackingReorder): dragging an audio clip has no visual layer to
restack, so it never writes z-index. Covered by a new hook test.

Miguel Angel Simon Sierra dd980697a2 feat(studio): unify timeline vertical reorder with z-index stacking
Timeline rows now order by scoped stacking (z-index per stacking context)
instead of data-track-index, and dragging a clip up/down commits a targeted
z-index change through the same shared path the layers panel uses. Both panels
stay consistent and moving a clip actually changes front/back. data-track-index
is demoted to time-overlap layout only; no bulk z-index injection (#958 intact).

Also restores beat-snapping on keyframe retiming (re-wires snapKeyframePctToBeat,
orphaned when keyframe dragging was removed) which surfaced while unifying the
model. Extracts pure track-ordering logic to timelineTrackOrder.ts, the stacking
reorder commit + deleteSelectedKeyframes to timelineEditingHelpers.ts, to keep
StudioApp / the timeline hook / Timeline under the studio 600-LOC cap.

U3: scoped stacking row order in the timeline

Miguel Ángel 037266e72b feat(studio): timeline revamp with active-clip highlighting and hide controls (#2017)
Timeline UI
- Highlight clips visible at the playhead in the primary color; others share one neutral color
- Minimalist rounded clips, single-color track rows, no gutter icons or superscript labels
- Per-track eye toggle and a per-element hide button in the design panel
- Ruler zoom fixes: sub-second tick intervals and correct label formatting at high zoom
- Sticky gutter so track controls stay visible while scrolling

WYSIWYG visibility (data-hidden)
- Runtime honors data-hidden (display:none), so hiding affects the render, not just the preview
- HTML stays the source of truth; hide state persists and round-trips on reload

Split several studio files to stay under the 600-line cap; pure relocations, no behavior change.

Miguel Ángel 091137e3c3 feat(studio): instant, flicker-free manual editing (#1605)
* chore(producer): shim __filename/__dirname in the CJS banner

Bundled CJS deps like wawoff2 call __dirname; without the shim they throw
"__dirname is not defined in ES module" at render time. Also ignore .zed/.

* chore(producer): use a template literal for the CJS banner (review nit)

* feat(core): add GSAP keyframe + motion-path source mutations

Array-form keyframe removal in both the recast and acorn writers, plus
update/add/remove-motion-path-point and add-motion-path. Exclude _auto and
data from tween property-group classification.

* fix(core): address #1554 review — data-exclusion test, split-fix doc, motion-path sentinel, parity blocks

- Regression test for the `data` GSAP-key exclusion (parallel to _auto).
- splitAnimationsInScript: documented that .fromTo()/.to() correctly stay out of the
  from-branch (only .from() reverts) and the <= boundary; added mid-flight straddle tests.
- addMotionPathToScript failure path returns id: null (was empty-string sentinel); caller updated.
- Parity blocks for addKeyframeToScript array-form + updateKeyframeInScript (mirroring
  removeKeyframeFromScript). Surfaced a latent acorn array-form partial-props merge bug —
  documented as it.skip with a ready assertion (acorn cutover follow-up).

* feat(core): route motion-path mutations through studio-api + fix clip stamping

Wire the new mutations into the file save route. Only authored clips suppress
descendant stamping, so auto-stamped animated scenes can inline-expand.

Hide in-flow timed clips with `display:none` only when they are LEAF clips (no
nested timed clips). `display:none` on a container removes its whole subtree,
hiding descendants that are still inside their own visibility window — e.g. an
in-flow composition root whose effective window clamps to the timeline end would
black out a child video that should still show (the hdr-hlg regression).
Containers keep `visibility:hidden`, which a visible descendant can override; only
leaves leave the flow, which is all the split-overlap case needs.

* feat(core): strip legacy path-offset/rotation + drop obsolete studio lint rule

A position or rotation add/set mutation makes the GSAP timeline the single source of
truth for that channel, so any lingering --hf-studio-offset / --hf-studio-rotation CSS
var must be cleared to avoid double-applying. stripStudioEditsFromTarget now clears both
channels, and the add-strip fires for the position AND rotation property groups.

Also removes the obsolete `gsap_studio_edit_blocked` lint rule: it warned that Studio
cannot save drag/resize edits to elements in a registered timeline — the exact premise
the single-source work inverts (the timeline is now the edit target). Removed the rule,
its now-unused TIMELINE_REGISTRY_ASSIGN_PATTERN import, and its 5 tests.

* fix(core): address #1555 review — complete hold-sync, invalidate clip cache, strip rotation channel

- HOLD_SYNC_MUTATION_TYPES: add add-motion-path (load-bearing — addMotionPathToScript
  authors past t=0 → first-frame snap-to-(0,0) without the hold), update-meta,
  shift-positions, scale-positions, split-animations. (add stays out: flat tweens
  only, syncPositionHoldsBeforeKeyframes is a no-op for non-keyframed tweens.)
- init.ts: timedClip in-flow/leaf WeakMaps now invalidate on clipTreeSignature change;
  visible/hidden branches both go through isTimedClipInFlow (was .get() by accident).
- keyframesWriteRotation mirrors keyframesWritePosition so a rotation-only keyframe set
  strips the stale --hf-studio-rotation channel.

* feat(studio): GSAP runtime read layer + shared helpers

* fix(studio): address #1607 review — cold-parse vs fetch-error budgets, isZeroDurationSet, array-ease tests

- useGsapAnimationFetchFallback: discriminate resolved/fetch-error/cold; only the cold
  (warm-but-zero) race gets the full ~600ms retry budget — a hard fetch error retries once.
- Extract isZeroDurationSet (was !(duration>0) duplicated); rejects NaN, documents intent.
- parsePercentageKeyframes: cite GSAP even-index spread; tests that a per-entry/interior
  ease is stripped without shifting the other keyframes' percentages.

* feat(studio): GSAP drag/commit/bridge editing infra

* fix(studio): address #1608 review — facade awaits commit, strict stale-parse guard, clearProps restore

BLOCKER: useSafeGsapCommitMutation now RETURNS the (.catch-chained) commit promise and the
commitMutation facade awaits it — so await session.commitMutation(...) resolves AFTER the
server save, fixing both consumers (useEnableKeyframes + useGestureCommit's
showToast/requestSeek/idle, which were firing before the save landed). SafeGsapCommitMutation
return type widened void→Promise<void> (fire-and-forget consumers ignore it).
- stale-parse guard uses hasNonHoldTweenForElement (a leftover hold set no longer counts as live).
- commitFlatViaKeyframes snapshots dragged gsap values before clearProps + restores after seek,
  so a failed commit leaves the dropped pose, not a cleared element.

* feat(studio): motion-path geometry + commit helpers

* docs(studio): address #1609 review — document occlusion fade-in invariant, donut limit, nearestPointOnPath t-semantics

* feat(studio): on-canvas motion-path overlay

* fix(studio): address #1610 review — scope dblclick to pan-surface, kind-aware geometry guard, gate createMode, screen-space drag threshold

* feat(studio): keyframes flag, gesture recording + timeline/selection refinements

* fix(studio): address #1611 review — fetch-first keyframe path, gated hydration, dev-gated debug + gesture warn, per-group gesture tweens

- useEnableKeyframes: parse current source first (null-vs-[] distinction) so a delete-all's
  empty parse isn't overridden by a stale selectedGsapAnimations cache.
- useStudioUrlState: freeze the hydration effect's time dep once hydrated (was re-running every tick).
- useGestureRecording: dev-gated console.warn when the live-preview runtime throws (was silent).
- playerStore: gate window.__playerStore behind dev (guarded import.meta.env.DEV).
- useGestureCommit: partition recorded keyframes by property group → one add-with-keyframes per
  group, so a mixed gesture no longer yields an untagged legacy tween.

* feat(studio): single-source manual offset + rotation via the GSAP timeline

Dragging or rotating an element writes into the GSAP timeline (the single source of
truth) instead of a parallel --hf-studio-offset / --hf-studio-rotation CSS var: static
elements commit a tl.set (idempotent on re-edit), tweened elements edit keyframes, and
the live preview moves via gsap.set so what you see equals what is written and renders.
Removes the dual-channel CSS-var/transform reconciliation behind the
fling / disappear / runaway / double-stack / wrong-start bug class — for BOTH position
and rotation (gesture base read from the gsap transform, gsap.set live preview, tl.set/
keyframe commit, dropped the handleDom*Commit CSS fallbacks).

Subcompositions edit the same single-source way, which surfaced and fixes:
- resolve a subcomp element's source file via the composition-id map (the runtime drops
  the source linkage when inlining the subcomposition);
- a selected element's selection box AND motion path use basic visibility, not the
  occlusion heuristic (a backgroundless opacity-1 scene above it is not an opaque cover);
- soft reload rebuilds ONLY the committed composition's timeline, leaving other
  compositions' timelines intact (no cross-composition revert);
- read keyframes from the element's OWN composition timeline (scan all timelines, not
  the first unstable key);
- delete-all uses a soft reload too, so editing no longer hard-reloads the iframe.

* fix(studio): address #1567 review — drop drag-intercept flag, harden softReload onerror, tighten runtime ladder, per-group gestures

- DROP STUDIO_GSAP_DRAG_INTERCEPT_ENABLED: single-source GSAP intercept is the only
  position/rotation channel; the false branch silently killed drag+rotate (and let GSAP
  elements into the keyframe-corrupting CSS path). Removed flag + dead branch + env def + tests.
- gsapSoftReload: plugin onerror no longer fakes success — signals onAsyncFailure so the caller
  full-reloads; honors __hfMotionPathPluginLoading so a concurrent reload can't queue a dup script.
- gsapDragCommit: resolveDragRuntime narrows the as-any ladder; a mid-seek throw logs + drops
  partial reads (no phantom identity) and re-applies the drag override in finally.
- MotionPathOverlay: park-timer cleanup keyed on animId change.
- useGestureCommit: partitionKeyframesByGroup wraps the add-with-keyframes sites (per #1611 review).

* feat(studio): patchRuntimeTweenInPlace — update a tween's values in place

Defensive runtime helper: locate the element's tween in window.__timelines via the
shared resolveRuntimeTween scan, update its set/keyframe vars, invalidate, and re-seek
the playhead — without re-running the whole composition. Returns false (caller falls
back to soft reload) for any shape it can't safely patch (no tween, dynamic/computed
keyframes, motionPath arc, channel mismatch, or any error). Foundation for instant,
flicker-free manual edits.

* fix(studio): address #1612 review — channel-aware set resolution + decline dynamic-expression patches

- resolveRuntimeTween gains an optional channels[] hint; for kind:set it prefers the set whose
  vars carry one of the patched channels and never returns a disjoint-only set (e.g. won't write
  {x,y} into a co-located {rotation} set). patchRuntimeTweenInPlace derives channels from the props.
- patchSet declines (returns false → soft reload) when overwriting a string/dynamic vars[ch],
  instead of silently dropping the computed expression.

* feat(studio): instantPatch fast path in runCommit

A commit carrying an instantPatch option tries patchRuntimeTweenInPlace first; on
success the preview updates in place with NO reload (instant), on false it falls back
to the existing soft reload. Extracts the preview-sync tail into a testable
applyPreviewSync helper. No behavior change when instantPatch is absent.

* feat(studio): route static position/rotation set drags through instantPatch

Static-element position and rotation set commits now attach instantPatch{selector,
change:{kind:set}} so the drag updates in place with no reload. Structural ops (new
tween add, delete-all, convert/split/materialize) and keyframe edits deliberately omit
it and keep the soft reload — keyframe instant-patch needs object-form keyframe support
in patchRuntimeTweenInPlace (deferred).

* fix(studio): address #1613 review — derive instantPatch from the mutation, patch both coalesced commits, wire onAsyncFailure

- commitStaticGsapPosition/Rotation derive instantPatch.change.props from the actual
  update-property mutation(s) sent (one source of truth → findUnsafeMutationValues-validated
  values flow into the patch; can't drift).
- Coalesced x/y: the intermediate x commit also carries instantPatch{x}, the y commit {x,y},
  so a second-POST failure still leaves the preview patched for what persisted.
- applyPreviewSync passes reloadPreview as onAsyncFailure (plugin-CDN load error → full reload);
  per U4 the synchronous false still does NOT escalate.
- (channel disambiguation from #1612 verified end-to-end: {x,y}→position set, {rotation}→rotation set.)

* feat(studio): no full iframe remount for soft-reloadable edits

A softReload edit (and the SDK single-script refresh) no longer escalates to a full
reloadPreview() iframe remount when applySoftReload returns false — the live gsap.set
already shows the value, and a remount is the worst flash + re-inlines subcomps
(reverting their keyframes). verifyTimelinesPopulated now checks the expected target
keys the re-run registers, so a correct scoped re-run doesn't spuriously report empty.
Full reload stays only for the structural (no-softReload) and ambiguous-script paths.

* feat(studio): pre-load MotionPathPlugin so motion-path edits don't async-flash

ensureMotionPathPluginLoaded() runs once at the preview iframe-load seam (NLELayout
onIframeLoad), eagerly loading + registering MotionPathPlugin without killing the
timeline. So when a user adds a motion path to a composition that didn't originally
use one, the soft reload runs synchronously instead of taking the kill-then-await-CDN
async path (the flash). Idempotent + defensive; the existing async fallback stays for
genuine cold-start/CDN-failure.

* fix(studio): don't re-save + reload when source editor syncs externally

The SourceEditor's CodeMirror update listener fired onChange on ANY docChanged —
including the programmatic dispatch that syncs external content (e.g. a manual-edit
commit writing the source back into the open editor). That made the editor re-save the
file and bump refreshKey, fully reloading the preview iframe on every drag/keyframe
edit — defeating the in-place instant patch and causing the flash. Annotate the
programmatic sync (ExternalSync) and skip onChange for it, so only real keystrokes save.

* fix(core): inject MotionPathPlugin into preview when a composition uses motionPath

A studio-created motion path writes a gsap motionPath tween into the single-source
timeline, but the preview HTML only loaded gsap core — so the first render threw
"Invalid property motionPath ... Missing plugin?". Detect motionPath usage and inject
MotionPathPlugin right after the composition's gsap script, version-matched to it.

* fix(studio): dedup __hfMotionPathPluginLoading type decl (restack artifact)

* fix(studio): address #1605 review — distinguish soft-reload failure modes + observability, SourceEditor focus guard

BLOCKER: applySoftReload now returns SoftReloadResult ('applied' | 'verify-failed' |
'cannot-soft-reload') instead of a bare bool. applyPreviewSync + sdkRefresh escalate to a full
reloadPreview() on the PERMANENT 'cannot-soft-reload' (no gsap/rebind hook/scopable key/script,
or sync re-run threw) — fixing the silent-stale-preview U4 dropped — but still suppress the
TRANSIENT 'verify-failed' (live gsap.set is correct). Telemetry: gsap_soft_reload_outcome
(origin/result/escalated) + gsap_instant_patch_fallback, so the U4 invariant is enforced, not asserted.
- SourceEditor: skip the programmatic external-sync replace while the editor is focused, so an
  in-flight commit doesn't clobber the user's uncommitted keystrokes (ExternalSync kept for unfocused).
- Verified ensureMotionPathPluginLoaded already guards __hfMotionPathPluginLoading (no double-append).

* fix(core): align __clipTree and __clipManifest ids via stableClipId

Timeline inline expansion was dead for nested children inside index.html:
the tree keyed id-less elements by a synthetic __clip-N while the manifest
keyed them null, so parent<->child never joined. Both now resolve identity
through stableClipId (id || data-hf-id), which every generated element has.

* fix(core): strip baked runtime + tag comp root in preview assembly

Comps that ship a baked inline runtime were double-loaded (preview injects
its own) and the baked copy failed to parse inline (Unexpected token '<').
Strip it in buildSubCompositionHtml + the disk-fallback preview path. Also
tag the comp root with data-composition-file so the studio resolves a comp's
top-level elements to the right source file instead of defaulting to
index.html (which made the GSAP panel parse the wrong, multi-timeline file).

* feat(studio): set motion-path destination from a toolbar toggle

Replaces the double-click-on-canvas UX (which painted text over the preview)
with a 'Set motion destination' toggle next to Snap/Grid, shown only when the
selected element can take a path. While armed, one canvas press places the
destination. Also removes the dead TimelinePropertyRows component.

* fix(studio): center timeline keyframe diamonds on their percentage

Dropped clampDiamondLeft, which forced boundary keyframes fully inside the
clip so a 0% diamond sat half a diamond right of the 0% point. Each diamond's
midpoint now sits exactly on its % (the clip is overflow-visible).

* fix(studio): resize static elements via tl.set, not a single-stop keyframes tween

Resizing an element with no size animation wrote keyframes:{ <playhead%>:
{width,height} } — one mid-point stop GSAP can't interpolate, so it rendered
NaN/0 dimensions at every other frame and the element vanished (worst off 0%).
Added commitStaticGsapSize (mirrors commitStaticGsapPosition): a static resize
now writes tl.set({width,height}), held at all frames; re-resizing updates it
in place.

* fix(studio): negative-cache failed media probes

Only successful probes were cached, so CORS/404 cross-origin media was
re-probed every rAF-driven timeline re-derive, flooding the console. Remember
failed URLs and skip them.

* fix(studio): type window.setTimeout handle as number

ReturnType<typeof window.setTimeout> infers NodeJS.Timeout when @types/node is
present and clashes with the DOM number the call returns. Type it number.

* fix(studio): drag/resize disappearance, stale-ID duplicates, soft-reload clearProps

- Fix soft-reload clearProps destroying element inline styles — save cssText,
  clear, restore, strip only transform
- Fix resize no-op on re-resize: delete+add instead of two update-property
- Route set tweens through static resize path (convertToKeyframes skips sets)
- Re-fetch animation ID before drag commit to prevent stale-ID duplicates
- Guard editDebugLog for Node test environments
- Fix NLELayout setState-during-render (move reset to useEffect)
- Stop SnapToolbar pointer events propagating to canvas deselect handler
- Enable click-to-add waypoints on cubic motion paths
- Add whole-path drag offset (Alt+drag shifts all keyframes together)
- Add Canvas shortcuts section to ShortcutsPanel
- Extract useMotionPathData + commitGsapPositionFromDrag (filesize compliance)
- Delete dead code (getElementDepth, isElementVisibleInPreview, unused exports)

Miguel Ángel c0ffdc0fb0 fix(core,studio): escape user values in querySelector attribute selectors
Extract cssAttrSelector to packages/core/src/utils/cssSelector.ts and
use it (or CSS.escape for browser-side code) at all 12 sites that
previously interpolated raw user-authored values into querySelector
attribute selectors. A " in a composition ID, script src, or
data-start value would produce a malformed selector that throws.

Node-side (core compiler/parser): uses the shared cssAttrSelector.
Browser-side (runtime, studio): uses native CSS.escape().

Supersedes #1568 which fixed only the 3 bundler sites.

d9f69f61e7 feat(studio,cli): music beat detection with timeline guides + headless beats CLI (#1424)
* feat(studio,cli): music beat detection with timeline guides + headless beats CLI

Beat detection for music tracks: the Studio draws beat guides on the active
track, beats are user-editable and persist to a project file, and a new
`hyperframes beats` CLI generates that file headlessly before the Studio opens.

Detection lives in @hyperframes/core/beats (shared by Studio + CLI): an energy
onset detector cross-validated with bpm-detective, regularized to an octave-
aligned grid, silence-gated, with per-beat loudness. Music-only — an
<audio data-timeline-role="music"> is analyzed; voiceover is excluded.

Studio: green beat lines + draggable dots on the selected track; add at playhead,
drag to move, double-click to delete (audio scrubs); edits persist to
beats/<audio>.json and are undoable (interleaved with file history).

CLI: `hyperframes beats [dir]` runs the same detection in headless Chrome
(prebuilt browser bundle in dist) and writes the beat file.

* feat(studio): timeline beat-grid + zoom UX refinements

- Center-anchored magnify: zooming via the toolbar/slider keeps the time
  at the viewport center fixed instead of anchoring at the left. Pinch
  still anchors at the cursor.
- Move-snap to beats: dragging a clip snaps whichever edge (start or end)
  is nearest a beat, matching the existing resize-edge snapping.
- Beat lines on track backgrounds: faint full-height beat lines now paint
  behind the clips on every track lane (brightness scales with loudness);
  the green dots stay on the active track's top bar.
- Waveform follows zoom: bars fill the full clip width and resample the
  windowed peaks, so the waveform stretches with zoom instead of stopping
  partway across a widened clip.
- Beat dots centered in the top bar: align the dot band to the clip top
  (CLIP_Y) so the dots sit centered in the dark bar instead of being
  bisected by the clip's top border.

* fix(studio): preserve media sourceDuration across element re-derivation

Moving a non-music clip re-derived the timeline elements into fresh
objects whose sourceDuration the DOM scan hadn't loaded yet. The async
probe skips srcs already in its cache, so the value was silently
dropped — trimFractions then returned no window and the trimmed music
waveform reset to the full source pinned at the track start.

Re-apply the cached probe duration synchronously on every derivation
(applyCachedSourceDurations) and extract the async probe loop into
probeMissingSourceDurations to keep useTimelinePlayer within the file
size limit.

* feat(studio): skip beat-snap on the music track, highlight move-snap target

The music track defines the beats, so moving or trimming it no longer
snaps to its own beats (isMusicTrack guard on both the move and resize
snap paths).

Moving another clip snapped only on drop with no cue. snapMoveStartToBeat
now also returns the beat it will snap to; BeatBackgroundLines draws that
beat's line as a bright neon-green glow while the clip's edge is within
the snap region, so the target is visible before drop.

Also drops .commitmsg.tmp, accidentally committed via git add -A.

- Beat dots render on the selected track, falling back to the music track
  when nothing is selected.

* fix(studio,core,cli): review hardening for beat detection + timeline UX

- playerStore.reset() now clears beat state (analysis, edits, undo/redo,
  persist) so a project switch can't apply the previous project's beats,
  undo stack, or file-writer to the new one.
- removeUserBeat returns the same reference on a no-op, and delete/move beat
  actions skip committing when nothing changed — no more phantom undo
  entries / debounced writes for no-op edits.
- regularizeBeats bails to raw onsets when the (octave-misread) tempo would
  produce a sub-125ms grid, avoiding a tens-of-thousands-of-beats freeze.
- parseBeats clamps strength to [0,1] and rejects non-finite time/strength,
  so a hand-edited file can't feed NaN into the gamma curve (Math.pow on a
  negative base) and blank out beat markers.
- Start-edge beat-snap now also requires duration >= minDuration, matching
  the end-edge guard, so a rightward snap can't collapse the clip.
- Center-anchor zoom effect always consumes its skip flag, so a pinch that
  produced no pps change can't leave it stranded and skip the next zoom.
- Headless beats analyzer projects to {beatTimes,beatStrengths,bpm,confidence}
  before returning, so page.evaluate no longer serializes the full decoded
  PCM (channelData) across the CDP boundary.

Vance IngallsandClaude Fable 5 7a99ccec6d fix(core): honor root data-duration when GSAP timeline ends short (#1378)
* fix(core): honor root data-duration when GSAP timeline ends short

The authored-duration floor only counted child composition clips, never
the root element's own data-duration. A composition whose GSAP timeline
ended even 0.1s short of its declared data-duration reported the shorter
timeline length from player.getDuration() — and the studio's adapter
selection (docDuration <= adapterDur) then silently rejected the
audio-capable runtime player, downgrading preview playback to the
seek-scrubbing adapter, which never starts media elements or WebAudio.
Result: total audio silence with zero errors anywhere.

- include the root's declared data-duration in
  resolveAuthoredCompositionDurationFloorSeconds, making data-duration
  the source of truth for playable length (per the documented contract)
- console.warn in the studio when playback falls back to the
  seek-driven adapter, since the downgrade loses audio invisibly

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(studio): release static-seek adapter on native win, warn once on downgrade

Review findings on the previous commit, all in the static-seek fallback
path of useTimelinePlayer.getAdapter:

- A cached static-seek adapter was never paused when adapter selection
  later resolved a native adapter (the early returns bypass the fallback
  branch entirely), leaving its private rAF loop seeking the player while
  the native transport also drives it. The core data-duration fix makes
  this switch path much more common. releaseStaticSeekCache() now runs
  at every native-adapter return and at unmount.
- The downgrade warning fired on every cache miss — and the cache key can
  never hold for __timelines compositions because wrapTimeline() returns
  a fresh object per call, so it fired every rAF tick. It now warns once
  per downgrade streak (re-armed when a native adapter takes over).
- The warning interpolated adapterDur (the native __player duration,
  0 when absent) instead of the selected adapter's duration, and used a
  one-off "[hyperframes-studio]" prefix instead of the file's
  "[useTimelinePlayer]" convention.

The fallback cache logic moved to playbackAdapter.ts (with unit tests for
warn-once, cache identity, and pause-on-replace/release), which also
keeps useTimelinePlayer.ts inside the studio 600-line limit. Also
corrected a stale "no DOM reads" comment on the runtime transport tick —
the duration floor has always queried the DOM per call, and now also
reads the root's declared data-duration.

* feat(studio): carry hfId on TimelineElement, wire through buildPatchTarget (R7, T5b)

* refactor(studio): extract readHfId helper, fix empty-string normalization, add comments (R7 review)

- Extract readHfId(el) to domEditingLayers.ts — centralizes `?.trim() || undefined`
  normalisation; guards against empty-string data-hf-id reaching findTagByTarget
- Wire readHfId into domEditingLayers.ts and useDomEditCommits.ts (the one site
  that still used `?? undefined` instead of `|| undefined`)
- Re-export readHfId through domEditing.ts public API
- Add readHfId unit tests: present, absent, empty-string, whitespace-only
- Add comment on PatchTarget: runtime validation lives in findTagByTarget, type is docs-only
- Suppress pre-existing unused re-exports in timelineDOM.ts (backward-compat re-exports

cloneNode(true) copies all attributes including data-hf-id. Without clearing it,

Carlos Alcaraz GregorandCarlos Alcaraz 8ecef4b939 fix(studio): make static-seek adapter honor keepPlaying option (#1089)
createStaticSeekPlaybackAdapter.seek now accepts the same options as the
PlaybackAdapter contract and aligns the default-pause semantics with
wrapTimeline (hardened in 3e7b464b). Without keepPlaying the adapter
clears its `playing` flag and cancels the RAF ticker, so on non-GSAP
compositions a scrub during playback no longer leaves the iframe
silently advancing while the public seek wrapper marks isPlaying=false.

Follow-up to #863 review: jrusso called out the type drift and invited
a separate PR; this also closes the asymmetry with wrapTimeline.
