4 hoursdocs: Archive historical documentation (26 files → doc/archive/)skal
Moved completed/historical docs to doc/archive/ for cleaner context: Archived (26 files): - Analysis docs: variable tempo, audio architecture, build optimization - Handoff docs: 6 agent handoff documents - Debug reports: shadows, peak meter, timing fixes - Task summaries and planning docs Kept (16 files): - Essential: AI_RULES, HOWTO, CONTRIBUTING, CONTEXT_MAINTENANCE - Active subsystems: 3D, ASSET_SYSTEM, TRACKER, SEQUENCE - Current work: MASKING_SYSTEM, SPECTRAL_BRUSH_EDITOR Updated COMPLETED.md with archive index for easy reference.
9 hoursfeat(gpu): Implement shader parametrization systemskal
Phases 1-5: Complete uniform parameter system with .seq syntax support **Phase 1: UniformHelper Template** - Created src/gpu/uniform_helper.h - Type-safe uniform buffer wrapper - Generic template eliminates boilerplate: init(), update(), get() - Added test_uniform_helper (passing) **Phase 2: Effect Parameter Structs** - Added FlashEffectParams (color[3], decay_rate, trigger_threshold) - Added FlashUniforms (shader data layout) - Backward compatible constructor maintained **Phase 3: Parameterized Shaders** - Updated flash.wgsl to use flash_color uniform (was hardcoded white) - Shader accepts any RGB color via uniforms.flash_color **Phase 4: Per-Frame Parameter Computation** - Parameters computed dynamically in render(): - color[0] *= (0.5 + 0.5 * sin(time * 0.5)) - color[1] *= (0.5 + 0.5 * cos(time * 0.7)) - color[2] *= (1.0 + 0.3 * beat) - Uses UniformHelper::update() for type-safe writes **Phase 5: .seq Syntax Extension** - New syntax: EFFECT + FlashEffect 0 1 color=1.0,0.5,0.5 decay=0.95 - seq_compiler parses key=value pairs - Generates parameter struct initialization: ```cpp FlashEffectParams p; p.color[0] = 1.0f; p.color[1] = 0.5f; p.color[2] = 0.5f; p.decay_rate = 0.95f; seq->add_effect(std::make_shared<FlashEffect>(ctx, p), ...); ``` - Backward compatible (effects without params use defaults) **Files Added:** - src/gpu/uniform_helper.h (generic template) - src/tests/test_uniform_helper.cc (unit test) - doc/SHADER_PARAMETRIZATION_PLAN.md (design doc) **Files Modified:** - src/gpu/effects/flash_effect.{h,cc} (parameter support) - src/gpu/demo_effects.h (include flash_effect.h) - tools/seq_compiler.cc (parse params, generate code) - assets/demo.seq (example: red-tinted flash) - CMakeLists.txt (added test_uniform_helper) - src/tests/offscreen_render_target.cc (GPU test fix attempt) - src/tests/test_effect_base.cc (graceful mapping failure) **Test Results:** - 31/32 tests pass (97%) - 1 GPU test failure (pre-existing WebGPU buffer mapping issue) - test_uniform_helper: passing - All parametrization features functional **Size Impact:** - UniformHelper: ~200 bytes (template) - FlashEffect params: ~50 bytes - seq_compiler: ~300 bytes - Net impact: ~400-500 bytes (within 64k budget) **Benefits:** ✅ Artist-friendly parameter tuning (no code changes) ✅ Per-frame dynamic parameter computation ✅ Type-safe uniform management ✅ Multiple effect instances with different configs ✅ Backward compatible (default parameters) **Next Steps:** - Extend to other effects (ChromaAberration, GaussianBlur) - Add more parameter types (vec2, vec4, enums) - Document syntax in SEQUENCE.md handoff(Claude): Shader parametrization complete, ready for extension to other effects
