3 days	feat(3d): Use procedural grid for floor and revert object noise	skal
	- Reverted test_3d_render to use the global 'noise' texture for floating objects, restoring their bump mapping. - Implemented a procedural grid directly in the fragment shader for rasterized objects (floor). - Inverted the grid color scheme (black lines on a lighter background) as requested. - This ensures accurate object bump mapping and clear shadow visibility on the floor without requiring multiple texture bindings.
3 days	fix(build): Add compatibility for older wgpu-native headers	skal

	- Increased the scale of orbiting 3D objects by 40% for more visual impact. - Replaced the smooth, predictable camera animation with a non-linear, eased motion. - Applied different easing frequencies to camera radius, height, and orbit to create an erratic, dramatic effect with sudden acceleration and braking.
3 days	refactor(platform): Encapsulate state in PlatformState struct	skal
	- Replaced all global static variables in the platform layer with a single PlatformState struct. - Updated all platform function signatures to accept a pointer to this struct, making the implementation stateless and more modular. - Refactored main.cc, tests, and tools to instantiate and pass the PlatformState struct. - This improves code organization and removes scattered global state.

	Fixes seq_compiler build for Windows cross-compilation. Moves common WebGPU compatibility shims to gpu.h. Applies project-wide coding style via clang-format. Verified on both macOS (native) and Windows (cross-compile).
5 days	feat: Full implementation of post-processing pipeline and new effects	skal
	Completes the multi-pass rendering engine and implements all requested effects: MovingEllipse, ParticleSpray, GaussianBlur, Solarize, Distort, and ChromaAberration. Includes WGSL shaders for all effects and logic for time-varying parameters via uniforms.

	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.
5 days	feat: Implement Sequence Compiler for data-driven choreography	skal
	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.
5 days	opt: Guard debug/seek features with STRIP_ALL	skal
	Ensures that code related to the --seek command line option (simulation loops, silent audio rendering) is completely compiled out when the DEMO_STRIP_ALL build option is enabled, preserving the 64k size constraint.
5 days	feat: Add --seek command line option for fast-forward debugging	skal
	This feature allows developers to jump to a specific time in the demo sequence (e.g., './demo64k --seek 10.5'). It simulates the game logic, audio state (rendering silent buffers), and visual physics (compute shaders) from t=0 up to the target time before starting real-time playback. Audio initialization is refactored to separate device init and start.
5 days	feat: Implement Sequence and Effect system for demo choreography	skal
	Refactors the rendering pipeline into a modular Sequence/Effect system. 'MainSequence' manages the final frame rendering and a list of 'Sequence' layers. 'Sequence' manages a timeline of 'Effect' objects (start/end/priority). Concrete effects (Heptagon, Particles) are moved to 'demo_effects.cc'. Updates main loop to pass beat and aspect ratio.
5 days	fix: Resolve macOS build breakage and restore tools audio support	skal
	Updates gpu.cc to handle modern wgpu-native callback signatures (5 args) for macOS while maintaining Windows compatibility. Modifies audio.cc and CMakeLists.txt to ensure miniaudio encoding features are only stripped from the demo binary, not the tools (spectool/tests).
