12 daysntsc: factor common code into snippet; add RGB and YIQ input variantsskal
- Extract shared NTSC logic into render/ntsc_common.wgsl snippet - sample_ntsc_signal() hook decouples input format from processing - ntsc_rgb.wgsl: RGB input (converts via rgba_to_luma_chroma_phase) - ntsc_yiq.wgsl: YIQ passthrough for RotatingCube output - Add NtscYiq WgslEffect thin wrapper; register both in tests handoff(Claude): NTSC refactor complete; NtscYiq ready for timeline use with RotatingCube.

13 daysdocs: update PROJECT_CONTEXT with new color/color_c64 snippets (27 shaders)skal
2026-03-06feat(effects): add Scratch post-process effect with reusable scratch_lines ↵skal
snippet - src/shaders/render/scratch_lines.wgsl: reusable WGSL snippet registered as "render/scratch_lines"; call scratch_lines(uv, resolution, time)->f32 from any effect. Uses hash_1f from math/noise; 8 lines/frame, ~24fps flicker. - src/effects/scratch.{wgsl,h,cc}: thin Scratch effect wrapping the snippet. - Applied to "intro" and "rotating_cube" sequences as the final step. - 35/35 tests passing. handoff(Gemini): Scratch effect added. render/scratch_lines snippet is reusable.

2026-03-05fix(audio): correct OLA synthesis and extract shared ola_encode/ola_decodeskal
- Remove erroneous Hann synthesis window from synth.cc (g_hann * tmp[j]). Hann analysis at 50% overlap satisfies w[n]+w[n+H]=1, so rectangular synthesis gives perfect reconstruction; applying Hann twice was wrong. - Extract ola_encode()/ola_decode()/ola_num_frames() into src/audio/ola.h+cc. spectool and test_wav_roundtrip now use the shared functions. synth.cc lazy-decode path stays inlined (see TODO for future refactor). - Drop dead <atomic> include and g_hann array from synth.cc. - Drop dead window.h include from spectool.cc. - Update PROJECT_CONTEXT.md, COMPLETED.md, TODO.md to reflect correct analysis-only Hann window and new ola.h API. handoff(Gemini): OLA synthesis bug fixed + ola.h factorized. synth.cc lazy-decode still inline (TODO item added). 34/35 tests pass; WavDumpBackendTest failure is pre-existing and unrelated.

2026-03-05fix(audio): OLA encoder never ran; version never propagated to decoderskal
Two bugs kept the v2 OLA path permanently disabled: 1. SpectrogramResourceManager::load_asset() never set spec.version from SpecHeader::version — all .spec assets loaded with version=0, so ola_mode was always false in the voice. 2. spectool analyze_audio() used non-overlapping chunks (stride=DCT_SIZE), hamming_window_512, and hardcoded header.version=1 — OLA analysis was never implemented in the encoder. Fixes: propagate header->version in load_asset(); switch spectool to OLA_HOP_SIZE stride, hann_window_512, and SPEC_VERSION_V2_OLA. Regenerated all .spec files. handoff(Gemini): OLA enc/dec chain now correct end-to-end. .spec files are v2 (50% overlap, Hann). No API changes; 33/34 tests pass (WavDumpBackendTest pre-existing failure unrelated). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-03-02docs: update PROJECT_CONTEXT, TODO, COMPLETED for OLA-IDCTskal
- PROJECT_CONTEXT: audio section reflects OLA-IDCT (Hann, 50% overlap); test count 35->34; Next Up notes .spec regen needed - TODO: remove stale MP3 sub-task (done), trim test TODOs, add .spec regen as Priority 3, update test count to 34/34 - COMPLETED: archive OLA-IDCT task with implementation summary
2026-02-28refactor: move common/shaders/ to src/shaders/skal

2026-02-21fix(tests): Resolve intermittent SIGTRAP in test_effect_baseskal
The test `test_sequence_render` was disabled due to an intermittent SIGTRAP. The issue was caused by the test application exiting before the GPU finished rendering. This commit fixes the issue by adding a call to `wgpuDeviceTick()` after submitting the command buffer. This ensures that the GPU has completed its work before the test finishes. The test is now re-enabled and passes consistently.
2026-02-21docs: Update test count in PROJECT_CONTEXT.md to 35/35.skal

2026-02-20feat(sequence): port Scene1Effect + fix seq_compiler absolute time bugskal
- Add Scene1 effect: raymarching cube+sphere+ground (reflections, shadows) - Fix scene1.wgsl: binding 0→2, CommonUniforms→UniformsSequenceParams - Replace Heptagon+Placeholder stub in heptagon_scene with Scene1 - Fix seq_compiler.py: emit seq.start_time+effect.start/end (absolute times) so dispatch_render active check works correctly for all sequences Bug: effects in sequences starting after t=0 were never active because local times (e.g. 0-8) never satisfied params.time<end for absolute time 20+. 34/34 tests passing. handoff(Gemini): seq_compiler now emits absolute effect times. All existing sequences affected — verify visual output across the full timeline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

2026-02-11fix: CNN test tool GPU readback with wgpuDevicePollskal
Fixed buffer mapping callback mode mismatch causing Unknown status. Changed from WaitAnyOnly+ProcessEvents to AllowProcessEvents+DevicePoll. Readback now functional but CNN output incorrect (all white). Issue isolated to tool-specific binding/uniform setup - CNNEffect in demo works correctly.
