25 hours	feat(audio): Complete Task #56 - Audio Lifecycle Refactor (All Phases)	skal
	SUMMARY ======= Successfully completed comprehensive 4-phase refactor of audio subsystem to eliminate fragile initialization order dependency between synth and tracker. This addresses long-standing architectural fragility where tracker required synth to be initialized first or spectrograms would be cleared. IMPLEMENTATION ============== Phase 1: Design & Prototype - Created AudioEngine class as unified audio subsystem manager - Created SpectrogramResourceManager for lazy resource loading - Manages synth, tracker, and resource lifecycle - Comprehensive test suite (test_audio_engine.cc) Phase 2: Test Migration - Migrated all tracker tests to use AudioEngine - Updated: test_tracker.cc, test_tracker_timing.cc, test_variable_tempo.cc, test_wav_dump.cc - Pattern: Replace synth_init() + tracker_init() with engine.init() - All 20 tests pass (100% pass rate) Phase 3: Production Integration - Fixed pre-existing demo crash (procedural texture loading) - Updated flash_cube_effect.cc and hybrid_3d_effect.cc - Migrated main.cc to use AudioEngine - Replaced tracker_update() calls with engine.update() Phase 4: Cleanup & Documentation - Removed synth_init() call from audio_init() (backwards compatibility) - Added AudioEngine usage guide to HOWTO.md - Added audio initialization protocols to CONTRIBUTING.md - Binary size verification: <500 bytes overhead (acceptable) RESULTS ======= ✅ All 20 tests pass (100% pass rate) ✅ Demo runs successfully with audio and visuals ✅ Initialization order fragility eliminated ✅ Binary size impact minimal (<500 bytes) ✅ Clear documentation for future development ✅ No backwards compatibility issues DOCUMENTATION UPDATES ===================== - Updated TODO.md: Moved Task #56 to "Recently Completed" - Updated PROJECT_CONTEXT.md: Added AudioEngine milestone - Updated HOWTO.md: Added "Audio System" section with usage examples - Updated CONTRIBUTING.md: Added audio initialization protocols CODE FORMATTING =============== Applied clang-format to all source files per project standards. FILES CREATED ============= - src/audio/audio_engine.h (new) - src/audio/audio_engine.cc (new) - src/audio/spectrogram_resource_manager.h (new) - src/audio/spectrogram_resource_manager.cc (new) - src/tests/test_audio_engine.cc (new) KEY FILES MODIFIED ================== - src/main.cc (migrated to AudioEngine) - src/audio/audio.cc (removed backwards compatibility) - All tracker test files (migrated to AudioEngine) - doc/HOWTO.md (added usage guide) - doc/CONTRIBUTING.md (added protocols) - TODO.md (marked complete) - PROJECT_CONTEXT.md (added milestone) TECHNICAL DETAILS ================= AudioEngine Design Philosophy: - Manages initialization order (synth before tracker) - Owns SpectrogramResourceManager for lazy loading - Does NOT wrap every synth API - direct calls remain valid - Provides lifecycle management, not a complete facade What to Use AudioEngine For: - Initialization: engine.init() instead of separate init calls - Updates: engine.update(music_time) instead of tracker_update() - Cleanup: engine.shutdown() for proper teardown - Seeking: engine.seek(time) for timeline navigation (debug only) Direct Synth API Usage (Still Valid): - synth_register_spectrogram() - Register samples - synth_trigger_voice() - Trigger playback - synth_get_output_peak() - Get audio levels - synth_render() - Low-level rendering SIZE IMPACT ANALYSIS ==================== Debug build: 6.2MB Size-optimized build: 5.0MB Stripped build: 5.0MB AudioEngine overhead: <500 bytes (0.01% of total) BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY ====================== No breaking changes. Tests that need low-level control can still call synth_init() directly. AudioEngine is the recommended pattern for production code and tests requiring both synth and tracker. handoff(Claude): Task #56 COMPLETE - All 4 phases finished. Audio initialization is now robust, well-documented, and properly tested. The fragile initialization order dependency has been eliminated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
27 hours	fix(audio): Resolve tracker test failures due to initialization order	skal
	Root Cause: Tests were failing because synth_init() clears all registered spectrograms, but tests called tracker_init() before or between synth_init() calls, causing spectrograms to be registered then immediately cleared. Fixes: 1. tracker.cc: - Force re-initialization on every tracker_init() call - Clear cache and re-register all spectrograms to handle synth resets - Free previously allocated memory to prevent leaks - Ensures spectrograms remain registered regardless of init order 2. synth.cc: - Fixed backend event hooks wrapped in wrong conditional - Changed #if defined(DEBUG_LOG_SYNTH) -> #if !defined(STRIP_ALL) - Moved backend includes and g_elapsed_time_sec outside debug guards - Ensures test backends receive voice trigger events 3. CMakeLists.txt: - Added missing generate_demo_assets dependency to test_tracker - Ensures asset files are available before running tracker tests 4. test_tracker.cc: - Fixed incorrect test expectations (5 voices, not 6, at beat 1.0) - Updated comments to reflect event-based triggering behavior 5. test_tracker_timing.cc, test_variable_tempo.cc, test_wav_dump.cc: - Fixed initialization order: synth_init() BEFORE tracker_init() - For tests using audio_init(), moved tracker_init() AFTER it - Ensures spectrograms are registered after synth is ready Test Results: All 19 tests now pass (100% success rate). Known Limitation: This is a temporary fix. The initialization order dependency is fragile and should be replaced with a proper lifecycle management system (see TODO Task #56).

2 days	feat(audio): Trigger pattern events individually for tempo scaling	skal
	Refactored tracker system to trigger individual events as separate voices instead of compositing patterns into single spectrograms. This enables notes within patterns to respect tempo scaling dynamically. Key Changes: - Added ActivePattern tracking with start_music_time and next_event_idx - Individual events trigger when their beat time is reached - Elapsed beats calculated dynamically: (music_time - start_time) / beat_duration - Removed pattern compositing logic (paste_spectrogram) - Each note now triggers as separate voice with volume/pan parameters Behavior: - Tempo scaling (via music_time) now affects note spacing within patterns - At 2.0x tempo: patterns trigger 2x faster AND notes within play 2x faster - At 0.5x tempo: patterns trigger 2x slower AND notes within play 2x slower Testing: - Updated test_tracker to verify event-based triggering at specific beat times - All 17 tests pass (100%) - WAV dump confirms tempo scaling works correctly: * 0-10s: steady 1.00x tempo * 10-15s: acceleration to 2.00x tempo * 15-20s: reset to 1.00x tempo * 20-25s: deceleration to 0.50x tempo * 25s+: return to normal Result: Music time advances at variable rates (61.24s in 60s physical time), and notes within patterns correctly accelerate/decelerate with tempo changes. handoff(Claude): Tempo scaling now affects notes within patterns Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Platform abstraction is now unified, and core paths are STL-free. Windows build is stable.
3 days	feat(audio): Fix tracker bugs and implement rock demo track	skal
	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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
