docs: Update project state with event-based tracker and WAV dump

Updated PROJECT_CONTEXT.md and TODO.md to reflect recent milestones:

PROJECT_CONTEXT.md changes:
- Updated Audio section: stereo format, variable tempo, event-based triggering
- Added milestone for "Event-Based Tracker for Tempo Scaling"
- Added milestone for "WAV Dump Backend for Debugging"
- Updated Audio Engine architecture section with new details
- Updated test counts (17/17 passing)

TODO.md changes:
- Added "Event-Based Tracker for Tempo Scaling" to Recently Completed
  * Refactored from pattern compositing to individual event triggering
  * Dynamic beat calculation enables notes to respect tempo scaling
  * ActivePattern tracking with start_music_time and next_event_idx
  * All 17 tests pass, WAV dump confirms correct behavior
- Added "WAV Dump Backend for Debugging" to Recently Completed
  * WavDumpBackend for offline rendering to .wav files
  * Fixed critical stereo format bug (mono/stereo mismatch)
  * Added regression test with stereo format assertion
  * Command-line option: --dump_wav output.wav

Current State:
- All tests passing: 17/17 (100%)
- Audio system: Stereo, variable tempo, event-based tracking
- Documentation: Up to date with latest architecture

Ready for handoff to Gemini.

 ## Recently Completed (February 4, 2026)
+- [x] **Event-Based Tracker for Tempo Scaling**:
+    - [x] **Problem Identified**: Notes within patterns didn't accelerate with tempo changes. Pattern events were pre-composited into single spectrograms at fixed positions.
+    - [x] **Refactored Architecture**: Changed from pattern compositing to individual event triggering. Each TrackerEvent now triggers as separate voice.
+    - [x] **Dynamic Beat Calculation**: `elapsed_beats = (music_time - start_time) / beat_duration` allows notes to respect tempo scaling.
+    - [x] **ActivePattern Tracking**: Added structure to track pattern_id, start_music_time, and next_event_idx for each active pattern instance.
+    - [x] **Removed Compositing Logic**: Deleted paste_spectrogram approach that baked events at fixed frame offsets.
+    - [x] **Full Tempo Scaling**: At 2.0x tempo, both pattern triggering AND note spacing play 2x faster. At 0.5x tempo, both play 2x slower.
+    - [x] **Testing**: Updated test_tracker.cc to verify individual event triggers at specific beat times. All 17 tests pass.
+    - [x] **WAV Verification**: Confirmed with WAV dump showing 61.24s music time in 60s physical time during tempo transitions.
+
+- [x] **WAV Dump Backend for Debugging**:
+    - [x] **Implementation**: Created WavDumpBackend implementing AudioBackend interface to render audio offline to .wav files.
+    - [x] **Command-Line Option**: Added `--dump_wav output.wav` flag to enable offline rendering instead of live playback.
+    - [x] **Stereo Bug Fix**: Fixed critical mono/stereo mismatch. Synth outputs STEREO (interleaved L/R) but initial implementation wrote MONO.
+    - [x] **Correct Allocation**: Changed to allocate `frames * 2` samples and write stereo format (num_channels = 2).
+    - [x] **Format Matching**: WAV header now correctly specifies 16-bit PCM, stereo, 32kHz (matches live audio exactly).
+    - [x] **Regression Test**: Added test_wav_dump.cc with critical assertion `assert(header.num_channels == 2)` to prevent future mismatches.
+    - [x] **Tempo Simulation**: WAV dump backend simulates tempo scaling matching main.cc logic for accurate offline rendering.
+    - [x] **All Tests Pass**: 17/17 tests pass including WAV format verification.
+
 - [x] **Variable Tempo System**:
     - [x] **Music Time Abstraction**: Implemented unified music time in `main.cc` that advances at `tempo_scale` rate, decoupling from physical time.
     - [x] **Tempo Control**: Added `g_tempo_scale` (default 1.0) allowing future dynamic tempo changes without pitch shifting.
