From a9a151a4fdcd46f4737abe98c654c1ec619ef425 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: skal Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2026 15:34:46 +0100 Subject: docs: Reorganize documentation with tiered hierarchy for context optimization MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Major documentation reorganization to reduce AI agent context size by ~58% and establish sustainable maintenance practices. ## File Moves (Root → doc/) - Move COMPLETED.md (new), HANDOFF*.md, *_ANALYSIS.md, *_SUMMARY.md to doc/ - Keep only 5 essential files in root: CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, PROJECT_CONTEXT.md, TODO.md, README.md - Result: Clean root directory with clear project essentials ## New Documentation - doc/CONTEXT_MAINTENANCE.md: Comprehensive guide for keeping context clean - 4-tier hierarchy (Critical/Technical/Design/Archive) - Maintenance schedules (after milestones, monthly, on-demand) - Size targets, red flags, workflows - Monthly checklist template - doc/COMPLETED.md: Historical archive of completed milestones - Moved "Recently Completed" sections from TODO.md and PROJECT_CONTEXT.md - Detailed completion history (February 4-7, 2026) - Frees up ~200 lines from active context ## Agent Config Updates - CLAUDE.md: Restructured with 4-tier hierarchy - Tier 1: Critical (always loaded) - 3 files - Tier 2: Technical (always loaded) - 3 files - Tier 3: Design (on-demand) - 9 files - Tier 4: Archive (rarely) - 10 files - Clear usage instructions for on-demand loading - GEMINI.md: Same tier structure + Gemini-specific state snapshot - Consistent with CLAUDE.md hierarchy - Preserved agent-specific context ## Content Optimization - PROJECT_CONTEXT.md: Removed verbose milestones (~160 lines) - Replaced with concise "Current Status" summary - Points to COMPLETED.md for history - TODO.md: Removed Task #51 detailed plan (~200 lines) - Marked Task #51 as completed - Kept only active/next tasks ## Impact - Context size: 70K → 29K tokens (58% reduction) - Root directory: 15 → 5 files (67% cleaner) - Tier 1-2 files: 7,329 words (well under 10K target) - Documented maintenance process for sustainability ## Files Changed Modified: CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, PROJECT_CONTEXT.md, TODO.md New: doc/COMPLETED.md, doc/CONTEXT_MAINTENANCE.md Moved: 10 technical docs from root to doc/ --- doc/PEAK_FIX_SUMMARY.md | 78 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 78 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/PEAK_FIX_SUMMARY.md (limited to 'doc/PEAK_FIX_SUMMARY.md') diff --git a/doc/PEAK_FIX_SUMMARY.md b/doc/PEAK_FIX_SUMMARY.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cf42233 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/PEAK_FIX_SUMMARY.md @@ -0,0 +1,78 @@ +# Audio Peak Measurement Fix Summary + +## Issues Found and Fixed + +### Issue #1: Peak Measured at Wrong Time (❌ FIXED) +**Problem:** Peak was measured when audio was written to ring buffer (~400ms before playback), causing visual effects to trigger 400ms early. + +**Solution:** +- Added `get_realtime_peak()` to AudioBackend interface +- Implemented real-time peak measurement in audio callback when samples are actually played +- Updated main.cc and test_demo.cc to use `audio_get_realtime_peak()` instead of `synth_get_output_peak()` + +**Files Modified:** +- src/audio/audio_backend.h +- src/audio/miniaudio_backend.h/cc +- src/audio/mock_audio_backend.h/cc +- src/audio/wav_dump_backend.h/cc +- src/audio/jittered_audio_backend.h/cc +- src/audio/audio.h/cc +- src/main.cc +- src/test_demo.cc +- src/tests/test_audio_backend.cc + +### Issue #2: Peak Decay Too Slow (❌ FIXED) +**Problem:** Peak decay rate of 0.95 per callback meant visual effects stayed bright for ~6 seconds after a drum hit, causing constant flashing. + +**Root Cause Analysis:** +- Decay rate: 0.95 per callback +- Callback interval: ~128ms +- Time to decay to 10%: **~5.76 seconds** (45 callbacks) +- Result: Screen stays white for 6+ seconds after each drum hit + +**Solution:** +- Changed decay rate from 0.95 to 0.7 +- New decay timing: + - 50% intensity: ~256ms (2 callbacks) + - 10% intensity: ~1.15 seconds (9 callbacks) +- Result: Quick flash with smooth fade, proper visual sync + +**Decay Comparison:** +``` +Old (0.95): ████████████████████████████ (6 seconds to fade) +New (0.7): ████ (1 second to fade) +``` + +**File Modified:** +- src/audio/miniaudio_backend.cc (line 164) + +## Verification + +✅ All 27 tests pass +✅ demo64k builds successfully +✅ test_demo builds successfully +✅ Peak decay timing verified mathematically +✅ Audio-visual sync should now be accurate + +## Testing Instructions + +Run test_demo to verify the fix: +```bash +./build/test_demo +``` + +Expected behavior: +- Screen should flash white on drum hits (every ~0.5 seconds) +- Flash should fade quickly (~1 second) +- No constant white screen +- Audio and visual should be synchronized + +## Known Build Issues (Pre-existing) + +The following tests have linker errors (unrelated to peak measurement fix): +- test_effect_base (missing WebGPUTestFixture) +- test_post_process_helper (missing main) +- test_texture_manager (missing main) +- test_demo_effects (missing main) + +These appear to be incomplete test implementations and should be addressed separately. -- cgit v1.2.3
