logging infrastructure
MILESTONE: Audio System Robustness & Debugging
Core Audio Backend Optimization:
- Fixed stop-and-go audio glitches caused by timing mismatch
- Core Audio optimized for 44.1kHz (10ms periods), but 32kHz expected ~13.78ms
- Added allowNominalSampleRateChange=TRUE to force OS-level 32kHz native
- Added performanceProfile=conservative for 4096-frame buffers (128ms)
- Result: Stable ~128ms callbacks, <1ms jitter, zero underruns
Ring Buffer Improvements:
- Increased capacity from 200ms to 400ms for tempo scaling headroom
- Added comprehensive bounds checking with abort() on violations
- Fixed tempo-scaled buffer fill: dt * g_tempo_scale
- Buffer maintains 400ms fullness during 2.0x acceleration
NOTE_ Parsing Fix & Sample Caching:
- Fixed is_note_name() checking only first letter (A-G)
- ASSET_KICK_1 was misidentified as A0 (27.5 Hz)
- Required "NOTE_" prefix to distinguish notes from assets
- Updated music.track to use NOTE_E2, NOTE_G4 format
- Discovered resource exhaustion: 14 unique samples → 228 registrations
- Implemented comprehensive caching in tracker_init()
- Assets: loaded once from AssetManager, cached synth_id
- Generated notes: created once, stored in persistent pool
- Result: MAX_SPECTROGRAMS 256 → 32 (88% memory reduction)
Debug Logging Infrastructure:
- Created src/util/debug.h with 7 category macros
(AUDIO, RING_BUFFER, TRACKER, SYNTH, 3D, ASSETS, GPU)
- Added DEMO_ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGS CMake option (defines DEBUG_LOG_ALL)
- Converted all diagnostic code to use category macros
- Default build: macros compile to ((void)0) for zero runtime cost
- Debug build: comprehensive logging for troubleshooting
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md with pre-commit policy
Resource Analysis Tool:
- Enhanced tracker_compiler to report pool sizes and cache potential
- Analysis: 152/228 spectrograms without caching, 14 with caching
- Tool generates optimization recommendations during compilation
Files Changed:
- CMakeLists.txt: Add DEBUG_LOG option
- src/util/debug.h: New debug logging header (7 categories)
- src/audio/miniaudio_backend.cc: Use DEBUG_AUDIO/DEBUG_RING_BUFFER
- src/audio/ring_buffer.cc: Use DEBUG_RING_BUFFER for underruns
- src/audio/tracker.cc: Implement sample caching, use DEBUG_TRACKER
- src/audio/synth.cc: Use DEBUG_SYNTH for validation
- src/audio/synth.h: Update MAX_SPECTROGRAMS (256→32), document caching
- tools/tracker_compiler.cc: Fix is_note_name(), add resource analysis
- assets/music.track: Update to use NOTE_ prefix format
- doc/CONTRIBUTING.md: Add debug logging pre-commit policy
- PROJECT_CONTEXT.md: Document milestone
- TODO.md: Mark tasks completed
Verification:
- Default build: No debug output, audio plays correctly
- Debug build: Comprehensive logging, audio plays correctly
- Caching working: 14 unique samples cached at init
- All tests passing (17/17)
handoff(Claude): Audio system now stable with robust diagnostic infrastructure.

Created debuggable drum beat track that tests variable tempo system
with clear acceleration and deceleration phases.
Music Track Changes (assets/music.track):
- Simplified to clear drum patterns (kick, snare, hi-hat, crash)
- Light kick syncopation for musicality
- Regular crash accents every 4 seconds
- Hi-hat stress on beats for clarity
- Phase 1 (0-10s): Steady beat at 1.0x tempo
- Phase 2 (10-16s): Acceleration test (1.0x → 2.0x, then reset to 1.0x)
- Phase 3 (16-20s): Denser patterns after reset (kick_dense, snare_dense)
- Phase 4 (20-26s): Slow-down test (1.0x → 0.5x, then reset to 1.0x)
- Phase 5 (26-30s): Return to normal tempo
- Phase 6 (30s+): Add bass line and E minor melody
Tempo Control (src/main.cc):
- Implemented phase-based tempo scaling logic
- Phase 1 (0-10s physical): tempo = 1.0 (steady)
- Phase 2 (10-15s physical): tempo = 1.0 → 2.0 (acceleration)
- Phase 3 (15-20s physical): tempo = 1.0 (reset trick)
- Phase 4 (20-25s physical): tempo = 1.0 → 0.5 (deceleration)
- Phase 5 (25s+ physical): tempo = 1.0 (reset trick)
- Added debug output showing tempo changes (!STRIP_ALL)
Test Updates (src/tests/test_tracker.cc):
- Updated voice count assertions to match new track (3 → 4 voices)
- New track triggers 4 patterns at t=0: crash, kick, snare, hi-hat
Results:
✓ All 16 tests passing (100%)
✓ Clear, debuggable drum patterns
✓ Tests both acceleration and deceleration reset tricks
✓ Musical: E minor bass and melody after 30s
✓ Debug output shows tempo scaling in action
handoff(Claude): Tempo scaling demo track ready for testing

architecture
- Fixed black screen by ensuring clear operations in Pass 2 when Skybox pass is skipped.
- Resolved WebGPU validation errors by synchronizing depth-stencil state.
- Implemented rotating skybox using world-space ray unprojection (inv_view_proj).
- Improved procedural noise generation (multi-octave Value Noise).
- Restored scene integrity by correcting object indexing and removing artifacts.
- Updated documentation (TODO.md, PROJECT_CONTEXT.md).
|
|
- Added ObjectType::SKYBOX for dedicated skybox rendering.
- Created assets/final/shaders/skybox.wgsl for background rendering.
- Implemented a two-pass rendering strategy in Renderer3D::render:
- First pass renders the skybox without depth writes.
- Second pass renders scene objects with depth testing.
- Corrected GlobalUniforms struct in common_uniforms.wgsl and src/3d/renderer.h to include and explicit padding for 112-byte alignment.
- Updated Renderer3D::update_uniforms to set the new and zero-initialize padding.
- Reverted sky sampling logic in renderer_3d.wgsl to for SDF misses, preventing background bleed-through.
- Updated test_3d_render.cc to include a SKYBOX object with Perlin noise.
handoff(Gemini): The skybox is now correctly rendered with Perlin noise as a dedicated background pass. Objects render correctly without transparency to the sky. All necessary C++ and WGSL shader changes are implemented and verified.
|
|
- Updated ProcGenFunc signature to return bool for error reporting.
- Implemented gen_perlin (Fractional Brownian Motion) in procedural/generator.cc.
- Added support for sky texture in Renderer3D and its shader.
- Integrated Perlin noise sky texture in test_3d_render.cc.
- Caught and handled memory/generation errors in AssetManager and TextureManager.
- Assigned reference numbers to all remaining tasks in documentation.
handoff(Gemini): Side-quest complete. ProcGenFunc now returns bool. Perlin noise added and used for sky in 3D test. Windows build remains stable. All tasks numbered.

Critical Bug Fixes:
- Fixed pool exhaustion: Tracker slots never freed after use, music stopped
after 8 patterns. Implemented round-robin allocation with cleanup.
- Fixed note name parsing: Added automatic note-to-frequency conversion
in tracker_compiler. Bass and melody now play correctly.
- Fixed timing mismatch: Patterns are 2 seconds but triggered every 4 seconds,
causing silence gaps. Updated SCORE to trigger every 2 seconds.
Improvements:
- Implemented dynamic resource sizing in tracker_compiler: Analyzes score to
determine optimal MAX_VOICES/MAX_SPECTROGRAMS values.
- Created comprehensive rock track: 11 patterns with drums, bass, power chords,
and lead melody over 25 seconds.
- Added 213 lines of asset system documentation with 8 prioritized tasks.
Known Issues for next session:
- Audio quality could be improved (some artifacts remain)
- Note synthesis uses default parameters, needs tuning
- Pattern overlaps might cause voice exhaustion under heavy load
Files Changed:
- src/audio/tracker.cc: Round-robin pool allocation, cleanup logic
- tools/tracker_compiler.cc: Note name parser, resource usage analysis
- src/audio/synth.h: Increased limits to 16 based on analysis
- assets/music.track: 230-line rock arrangement
- doc/ASSET_SYSTEM.md: Comprehensive documentation + 8 tasks
- TODO.md: Updated with recent completions and known issues
handoff(Gemini): Music system now functional but needs quality improvements.
Audio artifacts and synthesis tuning remain. See TODO.md for details.

Implemented comprehensive unit tests for ShaderComposer and a validation test for production WGSL shader assets. This ensures the shader asset pipeline is robust and that all shaders contain required entry points and snippets. Also improved InitShaderComposer to be more robust during testing.
|
|
Created a new script, scripts/gen_spectrograms.sh, to robustly convert all audio files in assets/originals to .spec format. The new script is more portable and provides better feedback. Added the newly generated drum and bass samples to the asset list, organizing them by type for clarity. This completes the requested sub-task.
|
|
Updated project roadmap and to-do list to reflect the completion of the modular build system refactor.

Implements a post-processing pipeline using offscreen framebuffers. Adds stubs for MovingEllipse, ParticleSpray, GaussianBlur, Solarize, Distort, and ChromaAberration effects. Updates MainSequence to orchestrate the scene pass and post-processing chain.
|
|
Adds a 'seq_compiler' tool that converts a text-based timeline (assets/demo.seq) into a generated C++ file. This allows editing effect sequences and timing without modifying engine code. Replaces manual sequence creation with a generated 'LoadTimeline' function.
|

|
|
Removed dummy and test assets from the main demo list, leaving only the required drum samples.
|
|
This file has been replaced by 'demo_assets.txt' and 'test_assets_list.txt'.
|
|
Renamed demo assets to 'demo_assets.txt' and created 'test_assets_list.txt' for AssetManagerTest to prevent interference.
- Updated CMakeLists.txt to generate separate headers for demo and test.
- Updated test_assets.cc to conditionally include the test-specific header.
- Incorporated gen_assets.sh into the 'final' target.
|

This commit makes the asset packer fully functional and adds an end-to-end test suite.
- Updated asset_packer.cc to read file contents and embed them as hex arrays.
- Added actual asset files (null.bin, test_asset.txt) for testing.
- Implemented src/tests/test_assets.cc to verify data integrity at runtime.
- Refactored CMakeLists.txt to handle generated file dependencies correctly.
|
|
Introduces a new asset management system to embed binary assets directly into the demo executable.
- Creates the directory for asset definition and an descriptor file.
- Implements to generate (with enum and declaration) and (with placeholder data).
- Integrates into CMake build, making depend on the generated asset files.
- Adds minimal integration in and documentation in .
This addresses Task 9 (compact in-line and off-line asset system).
