 # Timeline Editor
 
-Interactive web-based editor for `timeline.seq` files.
+Interactive web-based editor for `timeline.seq` files with Sequence V2 format support.
 
-## Features
+## Quick Start
 
-- 📂 Load/save `timeline.seq` files (Sequence V2 format)

-- ✅ **Validation for undeclared nodes** (NEW)
+```bash
+cd tools/timeline_editor
+python3 -m http.server 8080
+# Open http://localhost:8080
+```
 
-## CPU Load Visualization
+Or with auto-load: `index.html?seq=../../workspaces/main/timeline.seq&wav=audio.wav`
 
-The editor displays a **CPU load bar** at the top (underneath audio waveform if loaded):
-- **Full-height bars** (80px) show effect density at each time point
-- **Color-coded:** Green (low) → Yellow (medium) → Red (high load)
-- **Load calculation:** Sum of all active effects across all sequences (1.0 per effect)
-- **Updates automatically** when effects/sequences are moved
-- **Collapsed sequences count** toward load
+## Features
 
-This helps identify performance hotspots in your timeline.
+**Editing:**
+- Drag/drop sequences and effects, resize with handles
+- Add/delete sequences and effects
+- Edit NODE declarations (typed buffers: u8x4_norm, f32x4, f16x8, depth24, compute_f32)
+- Edit effect routing: inputs/outputs with buffer chain visualization
+- Properties panel with validation for undeclared nodes
+- Collapsible sequences (double-click), re-order by time
 
-## Usage
+**Timeline:**
+- Beat-based timing with BPM slider (60-200)
+- Quantize grid (Off, 1/32-1 beat), snap-to-grid with hotkeys 0-6
+- Zoom 10%-200% (Ctrl/Cmd + wheel)
+- CPU load visualization (effect density)
+- Show beats/seconds toggle
 
-1. **Open:** Requires HTTP server (ES6 modules):

-4. **Playback:**
-   - Click "▶ Play" or press **Spacebar** to play/pause
-   - Click waveform to seek to position
-   - **Double-click timeline** to seek during playback (continues playing)
-   - Watch sequences auto-expand/collapse during playback
-   - Red playback indicators on both timeline and waveform show current position
-5. **Edit:**
-   - **Add Effect:** Select sequence, click "✨ Add Effect" button
-   - **Add Node:** Select sequence, properties panel → "Nodes" section → "+ Add Node"
-   - **Edit Effect Routing:** Select effect → edit "Inputs" and "Outputs" fields (space-separated)

-   - Drag sequences/effects to reposition (works when collapsed or expanded)
-   - Double-click anywhere on sequence to collapse/expand
-   - Click item to edit properties in side panel
-   - Drag effect handles to resize
-   - **Quantize:** Use dropdown or hotkeys (0-6) to snap to grid
-6. **Zoom:** Ctrl/Cmd + mouse wheel (zooms at cursor position)
-7. **Save:** Click "💾 Save timeline.seq" (validates node references before saving)
+**Audio:**
+- WAV playback with waveform visualization
+- Seek by clicking waveform or double-clicking timeline
+- Auto-expand/collapse sequences during playback
+- Dual playback indicators (timeline + waveform)
 
-## File Format
+**Shortcuts:**
+- **Spacebar**: Play/pause
+- **0-6**: Quantize (0=Off, 1=1beat, etc.)
+- **Ctrl/Cmd + Wheel**: Zoom
 
-⚠️ **For complete format specification, see:** `doc/SEQUENCE.md`
+## File Format (V2)
 
-The editor parses and generates **Sequence V2 format** `.seq` files:
+⚠️ **Complete spec:** `doc/SEQUENCE.md`
 
 ```
 # BPM 120
-SEQUENCE <start_time> <priority> ["optional_name"]
-  NODE <name> <type>                 # Optional explicit node declarations
-  EFFECT <+|=|-> <ClassName> <inputs...> -> <outputs...> <start> <end> [params...]
+SEQUENCE <start_time> <priority> ["name"]
+  NODE <name> <type>                  # Optional: u8x4_norm|f32x4|f16x8|depth24|compute_f32
+  EFFECT <+|=|-> <Class> <in...> -> <out...> <start> <end> [params]
 ```
 
-**Node Types:**
-- `u8x4_norm` - RGBA8 standard texture (default framebuffer format)
-- `f32x4` - RGBA float32 texture (HDR rendering)
-- `f16x8` - 8-channel float16 (G-buffer for hybrid 3D)
-- `depth24` - Depth buffer (3D rendering)
-- `compute_f32` - Storage buffer (compute shaders)
-
-**Reserved Nodes:**
-- `source` - Input framebuffer (implicit, always available)
-- `sink` - Output framebuffer (implicit, always available)
-
-**Priority Modifiers:**
-- `+` = Increment priority (normal effects)
-- `=` = Keep same priority as previous
-- `-` = Decrement priority (background layers)
+**Reserved nodes:** `source` (input), `sink` (output)
+**Priority:** `+` increment, `=` same, `-` decrement
+**Time:** Beats by default, `4b` explicit beats, `2.0s` seconds
 
-**Time Notation (Beat-Based):**
-- **Default:** All numbers are beats (e.g., `4`, `16.5` = beats)
-- `4b`, `16b` = Explicit beats (optional 'b' suffix for clarity)
-- `2.0s`, `8.25s` = Explicit seconds (rare, for physical timing)
-
-**Example (V2 Format with NODE declarations):**
+**Example:**
 ```
-# BPM 120
-SEQUENCE 0.0 0 "Opening Scene"
-  NODE temp1 u8x4_norm               # Declare intermediate buffer
-  NODE depth depth24                  # Declare depth buffer
+SEQUENCE 0.0 0 "Scene"
+  NODE temp1 u8x4_norm
+  NODE depth depth24
   EFFECT + Hybrid3D source depth -> temp1 0.0 4.0
-  EFFECT + GaussianBlur temp1 -> sink 0.0 4.0
-
-SEQUENCE 4.0 0 "Beat Drop"
-  NODE glow f32x4                     # HDR buffer for glow
-  EFFECT + Heptagon source -> glow 0.0 4.0
-  EFFECT + Bloom glow -> sink 0.0 4.0
+  EFFECT + Blur temp1 -> sink 0.0 4.0
 ```
 
-**Example (V2 Format with auto-inferred nodes):**
+**Auto-inferred nodes** (no NODE declarations needed):
 ```
-# BPM 120
-SEQUENCE 0.0 0 "Simple Chain"
-  # No NODE declarations - temp1 is auto-inferred
-  EFFECT + Blur source -> temp1 0.0 4.0
+SEQUENCE 0.0 0
+  EFFECT + Blur source -> temp1 0.0 4.0    # temp1 auto-inferred
   EFFECT + Flash temp1 -> sink 0.0 4.0
 ```
 
-**Buffer Chain Visualization:**
-
-The editor displays buffer routing for each effect:
-- Property panel: `source, depth → [Hybrid3D] → temp1`
-- Effect tooltip: Shows full buffer chain on hover
-

-
-## Keyboard Shortcuts
-
-- **Spacebar**: Play/pause audio playback
-- **0-6**: Quantize grid (0=Off, 1=1beat, 2=1/2, 3=1/4, 4=1/8, 5=1/16, 6=1/32)

-- **Double-click sequence**: Collapse/expand
-- **Ctrl/Cmd + Wheel**: Zoom in/out at cursor position
+## Architecture
 
-## Technical Notes
+- `index.html` - Main editor (1200+ lines)
+- `timeline-format.js` - V2 parser/serializer/validator
+- `timeline-viewport.js` - Zoom/scroll control
+- `timeline-playback.js` - Audio playback
 
-- Modular ES6 structure (requires HTTP server, not file://)
-  - `index.html` - Main editor and rendering
-  - `timeline-format.js` - V2 format parsing/serialization/validation
-  - `timeline-viewport.js` - Zoom/scroll/indicator control
-  - `timeline-playback.js` - Audio playback and waveform
-- No external dependencies
-- **Internal representation uses beats** (not seconds)
-- Sequences have absolute times (beats), effects are relative to parent sequence
-- BPM used for seconds conversion (tooltips, audio waveform alignment)
-- Priority determines render order (higher = on top)
-- Collapsed sequences show 35px title bar, expanded show full effect stack
-- **Show Beats** toggle: Switch time markers between beats and seconds
-- Time markers show 4-beat/bar increments (beats) or 1s increments (seconds)
-- **Waveform and time markers are sticky** at top during scroll/zoom
-- Vertical grid lines aid alignment
-- **Quantize grid**: Independent snap control (works in both beat and second display modes)
-- **Auto-expand/collapse**: Active sequence expands during playback, previous collapses
-- **Auto-scroll**: Timeline follows playback indicator (keeps it in middle third of viewport)
-- **Dual playback indicators**: Red bars on both timeline and waveform (synchronized)
-- **Seamless seek**: Double-click or waveform click seeks without stopping playback
-- **Node validation**: Only runs when explicit NODE declarations exist (auto-inferred nodes bypass validation)
+Pure ES6 modules, no dependencies, requires HTTP server (not file://).
