Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 df57ad4bac fix(studio): the shared-row follow-ups (#3215)
* 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.

* fix(studio-server): fingerprint the proactive waveform cache key too

The route already keys the waveform cache on the asset's size and mtime as
well as its path, so a rebuilt-in-place file gets fresh peaks instead of
stale ones. generateWaveformCache — the proactive path that runs on upload —
still called buildWaveformCacheKey with the path alone, so it wrote to a
different key than the route reads from (making the pre-generated cache
never found) and kept the exact collision bug this fingerprint exists to fix
on its own path.

* style(docs): run oxfmt on the /hyperframes-audio skill docs

Table column widths had drifted out of alignment with oxfmt's own rules,
failing format:check and blocking the Preflight gate every downstream
branch inherits. Whitespace only, no content change.

* fix(core): stop \b from missing underscore-separated names, guard clipsOverlap's negative duration

\b treats `_` as a word character, so \bbed\b never matched bed_01,
music_bed_loop, or theme_song, and \bvo\b/\bvox\b/\btts\b had the same gap —
an underscore-separated bed classified as "unknown" and could end up offered
as its own carve source. Replaced the short hints with a boundary that
actually excludes letters and digits on both sides.

clipsOverlap computed end = start + duration without guarding sign, so a
negative duration put end before start — an interval that does not describe
anything, and one specific case showed it silently dropping a real overlap
(a shorter, earlier broken end rejected a clip that genuinely contained the
point). Duration clamps to zero instead: a clip cannot un-play time, and a
zero-length clip at its start is the sane reading of "duration nobody wrote
down as positive."

* 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.

* fix(studio): stop the single-candidate auto-apply carve firing twice

Two auto-apply effects both fire when sourceOptions.length === 1: the
multi-candidate effect only guards length === 0, so a single candidate
passes it too, and the single-candidate effect passes its own guard right
after — both compute the same sources list and both call setCarve, so the
common case (one narrator, one bed) triggered two decodes, two FFT runs, and
two concurrent attribute writes for one decision.

The multi-candidate effect now defers to its sibling for exactly one
candidate, which already has its own detailed handling for that case.

* feat(core): carve against every voice over a bed, always (#3212)

* feat(core): carve against every voice over a bed, always dynamically

A bed usually runs under a whole sequence — a narrator, an interview answer, a
second presenter — and carving against one of them left the others fighting it.
`source` becomes `sources`, and `mixCarveSources` sums every voice onto the BED's
clock before anything is measured. That is what keeps one analysis sufficient: the
chain is fixed, so there is no per-voice filter to switch between, and bands drawn
from all the speech there is with envelopes that rise wherever any of it happens
answer the actual question — where and when is speech masking this bed.

Summed rather than averaged: two people talking at once mask more than either
alone. Audio before the bed starts is dropped rather than folded in at zero, since
it plays over nothing and shifting it would put a cut where there is no voice.

`dynamic` is gone. A fixed depth thins the bed through every pause, and once both
have been heard there is no reason to want it, so every carve follows the speech.

Two helpers the panel and the headless script now share instead of each carrying a
copy — two definitions of "what does this name suggest" drift, and then the two
disagree about which track is the voice:

- `classifyAudioName` reads a track's kind from its id and filename together.
  `unknown` is deliberately common: treating an unrecognised name as "not a voice"
  would hide the one track somebody needs to pick.
- `clipsOverlap` keeps out a voice that never plays while the bed does. An unwritten
  duration counts as unbounded, not zero — refusing a clip whose length the
  composition leaves to the media would drop the commonest case there is.

Files written before this still load: a single `source` reads as a one-voice list,
a stored `dynamic` is ignored, and an absent attribute means the defaults whole.

* fix(studio): port the carve UI off the removed source/dynamic fields

#3212 (accidentally squash-merged into this branch instead of main) changed
HfCarveSettings from a single `source` + `dynamic` toggle to a `sources`
list with dynamic mode removed outright — the multi-voice UI consumer that
goes with that shape lands in the very next PR, so this branch was left with
a type that no longer matched its own code.

Minimal port, not the multi-voice redesign that PR does properly: the
"Listen to" picker and analyse() treat sources[0] as the one voice this UI
still understands, and every dynamic-mode branch (the automated envelope
lanes, the toggle, the checkbox) is gone along with the field — a carve is
now always the static value the analysis computes, matching what the type
change made permanent. Test suite trimmed the same way: the automation-lane
and toggle tests covered behavior that no longer exists.

Shared automation lane rows on a track

Decision taken 2026-08-07. Implemented in 1e21d763b.

The bug

Four narration slices sit on one track row. The row's header is named after whichever clip is selected ("Narration 2"), carries a 4 badge, and lists that clip's automation lanes ("Peaking EQ 1 kHz / Q"). So a lane belonging to one clip reads as governing the whole row, and changing the selection silently swaps which envelopes are visible.

The lane SVG itself is already confined to its clip — TimelineAutomationLaneSlot passes leftPx={element.start * pps} and widthPx={element.duration * pps}. What misleads is the label column and the full-width row, not the geometry.

What was decided, and what was rejected

Effects stay on the clip. Track-level FX was considered and rejected: there is no track to own a chain. data-track-index is parsed in exactly one place (core/src/runtime/timeline.ts:63) and only to choose a row; there is no track element, no manifest, and both runtimes build audio per element — each clip gets its own source → chain → gain → master. Track FX would mean inventing a storage location and a bus node in two runtimes. It is also wrong for the domain: two takes on one row often want different treatment, and a carve names specific clips.

Clips on one row share a lane row when it is the same property of the same effect. One row for Peaking EQ 1 kHz / Q, with each clip's envelope drawn over its own span. A different parameter, or the same parameter on a different effect, is its own row.

Implementation notes

  • The grouping key cannot be the lane target. Targets are fx.<nodeId>.<param> and node ids are minted per chain, so fx.n1.q in one clip and fx.n1.q in another may be different effects entirely. Key on what identifies the parameter to a reader: effect label + distinguishing setting + param — which is exactly what automationLaneLabelParts in automationLaneData.ts already computes (it resolves the frequency for peaking-style filters). volume groups by itself.
  • Rows come from the track, not the selection. TimelineAutomationLaneSlot currently binds one element. It needs the clips on the row, their chains, and the union of their grouped lanes — so lanes stop appearing and disappearing as the selection moves.
  • Gestures stay per clip. Each clip keeps its own SVG, its own useAutomationLaneGestures, and its own selection box; a shared row is a shared lane track, not a shared envelope. Two clips' envelopes in one row must not be draggable as one thing.
  • Row height is AUTOMATION_LANE_H per grouped lane, not per clip-lane, so getTimelineLaneTop and the header's row positions follow the grouped count.
  • Header labelling: name the header for the track when it holds several clips rather than for one of them, and let the lane label stand for the property (it is the group's identity now, so it needs no clip qualifier).

Worth deciding while implementing

A clip on the row that does not automate a grouped property has empty space in that row. Leave it empty (the envelope is simply absent there) rather than drawing a flat line at the stored value — a flat line would claim an envelope exists.
