* test(cli): pin today's argument handling
Run the real binary and record how the hand-written parser behaves for every
subcommand: help and version spellings, no arguments, unknown subcommands and
flags, value flags in both spellings, missing and repeated values, positional
order, exit codes and which stream carries each message.
No behaviour change. Later parser changes update these assertions on purpose.
* refactor(cli): split main.rs into modules
Move only: args, error, output, convert, info, session, catalog, app and
mcp each get their functions and unit tests; main.rs keeps the usage doc,
help_text and the dispatch. Moved items become pub(crate) where other
modules call them. No behaviour change.
* refactor(cli): typed errors and run(args, out, err)
soundcraft-cli is now a library plus a thin binary. `soundcraft_cli::run(args,
out, err) -> i32` is the whole program; main.rs only passes the real streams
and shuts the plugin hosts down afterwards (process teardown, not part of run,
which tests call repeatedly in one process). Subcommands write to the given
writers, return `Result<(), CliError>`, and `fail` is gone. CliError wraps
engine, audio-io, io (with the path), serde_json and the control channel
errors; UsageError, ConvertError and RootFlagError cover the subcommands' own
failures. No Result<_, String> is left except where a dependency reports a
string (control-channel call, AutomationRoots::new), wrapped in a variant.
The tests that need no files, working directory, environment or stdin now call
`run` in-process (tests/it/run.rs); the rest still run the binary.
Behaviour changes:
- Error messages start with `error: ` instead of `soundcraft-cli: `.
- A script line that stops the run now prints `error: FILE:N: ID: ...` (it had
no prefix). With --keep-going the line stays bare.
- A convert encode or write failure now names the output path.
- An empty or help-less call still prints the one-line usage to stderr without
a prefix and exits 1; `files confined:` keeps its `soundcraft-cli:` prefix
(it is a note, not an error).
* refactor(cli): parse arguments with clap
Replace the hand parser (arg_value, check_options, ENGINE_OPTIONS, the
lib.rs dispatch, the per-subcommand positional handling and the root
flags' consume) with clap derive types in args.rs: a Parser, a
Subcommand enum and one Args struct per subcommand, with the run/script
engine flags flattened. main passes args_os(); run takes OsString-like
arguments and renders clap's help, version and usage errors (help and
version on stdout, exit 0; usage errors on stderr, exit 2). Add
command() returning the clap definition. The usage block in the module
doc and help_text are gone: the doc comments are the help.
Behaviour changes:
- Usage errors exit 2 with clap's message and the --help hint on
stderr, instead of exit 1 with hand-written text: unknown subcommand,
unknown flag, missing value, missing or extra positional, a value on
a boolean flag (--demo=1, --normalize=1).
- No arguments prints the help to stderr, exit 2 (was a one-line usage,
exit 1).
- --help, -h and help print clap's generated help, and every subcommand
has its own (SUB --help, SUB -h, help SUB). Before, info and script
read --help as a file name, describe as an id, commands as a filter,
run rejected --help and ignored -h, convert and app printed their
usage error, mcp, parity and plugins ignored it, and app --port P -h
called the method -h.
- --help or -h before -- shows the subcommand's help even after a
mistake on the same line (run --bounce --help).
- --version, -V and version print "soundcraft-cli X.Y.Z" (was
"SoundCraft CLI X.Y.Z").
- Unknown flags on info, commands, describe, app, mcp, parity and
plugins are usage errors; they were ignored or read as a positional.
mcp --automation-bogus exits 2 (was exit 1).
- Extra positionals are usage errors on every subcommand (were ignored).
- A single-dash word (-x) is a flag, so an unknown one is a usage
error; a value starting with - is written --flag=-value.
- Flags may come before or between the positionals: convert IN --rate
44100 OUT, convert --rate 44100 IN OUT and script --keep-going FILE
parse (the flag word was taken as a file name).
- A repeated single-value flag keeps its last value (was the first):
--rate, --bit-depth, --save, --port and the others.
- parity --write without a value is a usage error (printed the report).
- mcp --connect without a value, or followed by a flag, is a usage
error (was exit 1, or took the flag as the port).
- mcp --demo=1 is a usage error (was ignored, without the demo).
- A root flag without a folder, with an empty one, or followed by a
flag is a usage error with clap's message (was exit 1).
- A non-Unicode argument is a usage error where text is expected and
accepted as a root folder (std::env::args panicked).
- The help lists --sample as --demo's alias.
Unchanged: --dither with --no-dither, bad --rate and --bit-depth values,
the roots with --connect and the SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT fallback are
still checked after parsing (exit 1).
* refactor(cli): reject repeated flags, clap --version (photocraft#7071 decisions)
Behaviour changes:
- A flag given twice is a usage error (exit 2), in either spelling, including
an alias pair such as --demo and --sample. Before, the last one won. Only
run's --cmd and mcp's --automation-read-root / --automation-write-root
repeat; they accumulate in order.
- --version and -V print the long version, "soundcraft-cli 0.13.1 (linux
x86_64)": the version and the platform the binary was built for.
- The hidden `version` subcommand is gone; `soundcraft-cli version` is an
unrecognized-subcommand usage error.
- --start and --end accept a negative number (`--start -1`, as the engine
counts positions before 0); any other value starting with `-` needs `=`
and otherwise is an unexpected-argument usage error. No flag has
allow_hyphen_values.
- `help <subcommand>` is unchanged (tested).
* refactor(cli): typed values and flag relations
Handlers receive typed values: convert --bit-depth is a ValueEnum, --rate a
NonZeroU32, file arguments PathBuf, --start/--end a TimeArg, --cmd a parsed
(id, JSON) spec, app's JSON a serde_json::Value, app --port and mcp --connect
a validated port or host:port. Relations (--dither/--no-dither, --in/--demo,
--start/--end needing --bounce) are declared on the flags. describe ID,
commands FILTER and app METHOD refuse an empty string. parse_rate,
parse_bit_depth, parse_dither, parse_cmd_spec, time_arg and the Rate,
BitDepth, DitherConflict and CmdJson errors are gone.
Behaviour changes:
- --dither with --no-dither is a usage error (exit 2) instead of exit 1.
- --rate 0 / non-numeric and an unknown --bit-depth are usage errors (exit 2)
with clap's wording, naming the flag. --bit-depth help lists the values.
- --in with --demo (or --sample) is a usage error; --in used to win silently.
- --start/--end without --bounce are a usage error; they used to be ignored.
- Malformed JSON in --cmd ID=JSON and in app's JSON argument is a usage error
(exit 2) at parse time. Before, run opened the engine and executed every
earlier --cmd (printing their results) before the bad one failed with exit 1.
- An empty --start/--end, an empty command id (--cmd =1), and an empty
describe ID, commands FILTER or app METHOD are usage errors. An empty
commands FILTER used to list everything.
- app --port and mcp --connect accept only a port (0-65535) or host:port;
junk used to be accepted and failed at connect time (exit 1).
- Non-Unicode file names are accepted wherever the callee takes a Path (info
audio files, convert, script, parity --write). Session and bounce/save paths
go to the engine as text, so a non-Unicode one fails with exit 1, "the path
is not valid Unicode", after any earlier --cmd ran.
* refactor(cli): shared launch flags and SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT as clap env
soundcraft_automation::args holds the launch flags as clap Args structs:
ControlClientArgs (`app --port`, env SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT, default
7979), ControlServerArgs (the desktop `--control`, same variable, wired
in a later step; its ControlPort value is a port, also from a loopback
host:port, or another host's host:port, which the app decides on, so one
export serves both), AutomationArgs (the two root flags, repeatable, flags
only), the ControlTarget value parser, and the blank_env_is_unset,
name_env_vars and conflict helpers. The module and its clap/thiserror
dependencies are left out of the wasm build. `app` and `mcp` flatten
them; the hand fallback to the variable in `app` is gone.
Behaviour changes:
- An empty or blank SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT counts as unset, so `app`
uses 7979; before, it tried to connect to `127.0.0.1:` (exit 1).
- A bad SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT is a usage error naming the variable
(exit 2); before, the connection failed (exit 1).
- Spaces around the `app --port` or `mcp --connect` value, or the
variable's, are ignored; before, the connection failed (exit 1).
- An IPv6 host in `app --port`, `mcp --connect` or the variable goes in
brackets (`[::1]:7979`); `::1:7979` is a usage error (exit 2), as the
host and port can't be told apart; before, the connection failed
(exit 1).
- `app --help` shows `[env: SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT=]` and
`[default: 7979]` instead of the hand-written default note.
- `mcp` with a root flag and --connect is clap's conflict error (exit 2,
"the argument '...' cannot be used with '...'"), reported before any
root folder is opened; before, a custom message with exit 1, after the
roots were opened.
* refactor(app): move launch flag parsing into launch_args
The parsing moves out of main unchanged, into a LaunchArgs struct and a
parse function that takes SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT as a parameter. Tests pin
the flags, the file list, ignored unknown flags and the fallback of a bad
--control to the variable. No behaviour change.
* refactor(app): parse launch flags with clap
soundcraft --help now comes from the LaunchArgs doc comments and ends with the
environment variables the app reads, and the shared ControlServerArgs supplies
--control and SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT. Process tests cover the variable (bad
value, blank value, loopback host:port, another host).
Behaviour changes:
- An unknown flag (--bogus, -x) is a usage error on stderr, exit 2. It was
ignored, and a single-dash word was opened as a file; after `--` it is a file.
- A bad --control (out of range, not a number, missing value) is a usage error,
exit 2. It was ignored and the variable used instead.
- A bad SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT is a usage error naming the variable, exit 2.
It was ignored. An empty or blank variable still counts as unset.
- A loopback host:port (127.0.0.1, localhost or [::1]) in --control or
SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT gives its port, so the value `soundcraft-cli app`
takes from the variable works for both. The control server listens on
127.0.0.1 only, so another host in --control is a usage error. In the
variable, which may point `soundcraft-cli app` at another machine, it is
ignored with a log warning and the app opens without a control server.
Both were ignored before.
- A repeated flag is a usage error (--demo twice, --control twice).
- --control=PORT and a port with surrounding spaces are accepted; a value that
starts with `-` is not taken as the value, except a negative number, which is
a bad port (`--control -1`).
- --help ends with an Environment section listing SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT,
SOUNDCRAFT_CONFIG_DIR, SOUNDCRAFT_NO_PREFS, SOUNDCRAFT_NO_SYSTEM_FONTS,
SOUNDCRAFT_WAYLAND (Linux) and RUST_LOG.
- --help and -h print the help, exit 0. They were ignored.
- --version and -V print `soundcraft 0.13.1 (linux x86_64)`, as soundcraft-cli
does. It printed `SoundCraft 0.13.1`.
- -V and --version are read in order with the other arguments: an earlier
error comes first.
- macOS -psn_… process serial numbers are dropped, as before they were
opened as files.
- A file whose name is not valid Unicode is skipped with a log warning. It
used to panic in std::env::args.
* feat(cli): shell completions and man pages
An example, `cargo run -p soundcraft-cli --example man-and-completions -- <out-dir>`,
writes bash, zsh, fish, elvish and PowerShell completions and soundcraft-cli.1 plus a
page per subcommand, using clap_complete and clap_mangen (dev-dependencies of
soundcraft-cli only, not in the binary).
The Linux package (deb, rpm, tar.gz, AppImage) installs the pages in
/usr/share/man/man1 and the bash, zsh and fish completions in their standard
directories; the deb also links the zsh completion into Debian's
vendor-completions. A cross build runs the example through $EMULATOR and
leaves the files out without one. The FreeBSD tarball carries them in the
ports layout; a cross build builds the example for the host as well.
No change to the CLI's behaviour. A test pins the files the example writes.
* ci(cli): check the command-line code with ast-grep rules
Adds lint/ast-grep (rules for clap errors built from strings, String as an
error type, and std::env::args) and a workflow that runs the rule tests and a
scan over the CLI code through the shared craft-common-actions workflow. No
behaviour change; the scan has no hits.
* docs(cli): document soundcraft-cli and RFC-0012
Add docs/cli.md: the subcommands, exit codes, environment variables, the
desktop app's launch flags, man pages and completions, and the RFC-0012 rules
not followed yet (convert can overwrite its input; no --compact/--json).
Link it from the README and the MCP and control-protocol guides. No code change.
* feat(cli): refuse an output that replaces an input
An output that is one of the subcommand's inputs is a usage error (exit 2,
`error: …` on stderr, clap's usage line), reported while parsing, before
the engine loads or any --cmd runs. Paths are compared by file identity
(device and inode, through same-file), or, when neither exists yet, by
where they would be created, so `a.wav`, `./a.wav`, an absolute path and a
symbolic or hard link all count as the same file.
Inputs and outputs per subcommand:
- convert: input IN, output OUT. --in-place lets OUT replace IN.
- run: input --in, outputs --bounce and --save. --in-place lets --save
replace the --in session; it requires --in. A --bounce naming the --in
session is always refused.
- script: inputs FILE and --in, outputs --bounce and --save. --in-place
lets --save replace the --in session; a --bounce naming it is always
refused, and neither may ever replace FILE.
- run and script: --bounce and --save naming one file is refused with or
without --in-place (the save would replace the bounce).
- info, commands, describe, app, mcp, plugins write no file; parity
--write has no input. Paths inside --cmd parameters are not checked.
With --in-place, an output that is a symbolic link to the input is written
to the file the link names, so convert and --save both replace the input
and leave the link in place (a save renames a new file over its path,
which would otherwise replace the link and leave the input unchanged).
Behaviour changes:
- `convert a.wav a.wav`, `run --in s.scraft --save s.scraft`,
`run --in s.scraft --bounce s.scraft` and the other cases above exit 2
instead of replacing the input.
- New flag --in-place on convert, run and script.
- An existing file that is not an input is still replaced without asking.
* feat(cli): --compact for JSON output
RFC-0012 rule 1.3: JSON is pretty-printed by default and --compact prints
one line. Every pretty-printed JSON output now goes through
output::print_json.
Changed outputs:
- info <audio file>, describe, app: new --compact flag.
- run and script: new --compact flag, which requires --inspect and applies
to the --inspect JSON only.
Unchanged on purpose:
- The `ID: JSON` result lines of run and script and the --bounce and --save
results stay one line each. The prefix makes them text records, and the
RFC lets a command document its own layout; scripts that parse them keep
working.
- commands, plugins, parity and the .scraft summary of info are text and get
no --json flag (an open question in the RFC); mcp speaks JSON-RPC lines.
Pretty output is byte-identical to before.
* fix(app): one Switch parser for boolean environment switches
SOUNDCRAFT_NO_PREFS, SOUNDCRAFT_NO_SYSTEM_FONTS and SOUNDCRAFT_WAYLAND each
counted any value, including 0, as on. They now share
soundcraft_ui_egui::switch::Switch: 1/on/true/yes is On, 0/off/false/no is
Off (case- and space-insensitive), unset or blank is Default, and any other
value is Default and logged with the variable name. The ENVIRONMENT help
text, docs/cli.md and the README say the same.
Behaviour changes (old -> new):
- SOUNDCRAFT_NO_PREFS=0 disabled preferences (any value did); now only On
does.
- SOUNDCRAFT_NO_SYSTEM_FONTS=0 disabled system fonts (any value did); now
only On does.
- SOUNDCRAFT_WAYLAND=0 kept native Wayland (any value did); now only On does.
- An empty value of any of the three counted as set; it now means the
default (off).
- An unknown value of any of the three is logged.
* refactor(app): read the environment once into Env
The desktop app reads SOUNDCRAFT_CONFIG_DIR, SOUNDCRAFT_NO_PREFS,
SOUNDCRAFT_NO_SYSTEM_FONTS and SOUNDCRAFT_WAYLAND once at startup into
env::Env (typed fields, Switch for the on/off ones), after the logger is
installed so malformed switches are logged. The --help Environment
section is generated from the same VARS table, with a test that it lists
every name.
ui-egui no longer reads the app's variables: fonts::install and
definitions take system_fonts, set through SoundApp::set_system_fonts
(default on, so the web app is unchanged). The XWayland and prefs
decisions are methods on Env, tested on literals. logging::install takes
the RUST_LOG value, which stays outside Env because the logger needs it
before anything can log.
No behaviour change beyond help column spacing.
* refactor(cli): one long_version for both binaries
* refactor(audio-io): one FileFormat table for extensions
FileFormat gains the extension table every caller matches on:
from_extension / from_path (ASCII case-insensitive) over extensions,
from_write_extension over write_extensions, default_extension, name,
mime_type, the READ and WRITE lists, and readable_extensions /
writable_extensions for dialog filters, help and messages. Reading
takes every extension the decoder knows; writing takes only the names
whose readers expect what the encoder writes (no rf64 or aifc, whose
files would get plain RIFF and AIFF headers).
detect_format, bounce (mix and stems), convert, the bounce dialog, the
desktop and web file pickers, the workspace browser, the Sampler, web
downloads and the MCP bounce schema all use it; ENCODE_EXTENSIONS and
encode_format_for are gone. convert's IN/OUT and info's FILE help name
the extensions from the read and write lists.
Behaviour changes, where the lists disagreed:
- The bounce dialog's Browse result, the bounce save filter and the MCP
bounce enum take wav, wave, bwf, aif, aiff and flac: wave and bwf are
new to all three, and aif is new to the MCP enum. convert and
file.bounce_mix already took these. The "supported:" list in the
cannot-write errors is "wav, wave, bwf, aif, aiff, flac".
- file.bounce_stems reads its format name case-insensitively: `AIFF`
or `FLAC` meant WAV before. Unknown names still mean WAV.
- The bounce dialog sends the format as its file extension (aif for
AIFF); the engine accepts both spellings.
- File pickers, the workspace browser and the Sampler's drop and Load
Sample filter list every extension the decoder reads: the workspace
browser gains wave, bwf, rf64, aifc, mp1, mp2, oga, aac, mp4, adts,
mkv and webm; the Sampler gains rf64, mp1, mp2, m4b, adts, mkv and
webm; the desktop and web open filters gain rf64, mp1, mp2 and adts.
- Web downloads get a media type for every audio format, not only WAV,
AIFF and FLAC.
* refactor(app): resolve the settings folder once in Env
* fix(app): keep paths as paths until the engine needs text
A path is text only where an engine command takes `"path": string`; a
name that is not valid Unicode is reported there instead of being opened
under a lossy rendering (another file, or a confusing "can't read").
- ui-egui: dialogs::unicode() and NotUnicode ("<path:?> is not valid
Unicode"); dialogs::open_path(app, &Path), moved from the desktop app,
is the one open-by-extension path for dropped, command-line and
Workspace files.
- Services: the file dialogs return PathBuf (pick_save and pick_folder
start from a &Path); callers convert where the text field or command
takes the path.
- Sampler drops and Load Sample pass the path to mix.sampler_load
through unicode(); the audio test checks the Path.
- Workspace panel keeps entry paths; names are shown lossily only as
labels. workspace_dir stays a String (serialized preferences).
- soundcraft-cli: utf8() is unicode(), CliError::NonUnicodePath is
NotUnicode; it is called only for info's session, --in, --bounce and
--save. convert's output format test no longer treats a non-Unicode
extension as "no extension".
- docs/cli.md: sessions and bounces the engine opens or writes must be
valid Unicode.
Behaviour changes:
- A dropped, command-line, picked or Workspace file whose name is not
valid Unicode is not opened: the status line (and log) says
"<path:?> is not valid Unicode", with the bytes escaped. Dropped files
used to be opened under a U+FFFD rendering.
- A file dialog result that is not valid Unicode leaves the path field
unchanged and shows the same warning.
- Double-clicking a Workspace file opens it like a dropped file:
.MID/.MIDI/.SCRAFT in any case open as MIDI/session (they used to
import as audio), and a failed open is logged.
- convert OUT with an extension that is not valid Unicode is refused as
an unsupported format instead of being written as WAV.
* fix(app): read Env after the launch flags; tidy Switch and Env
* fix(audio-io): decode every extension the format table lists
* fix(cli): write convert output atomically; tighten --connect and loopback
- convert writes every output to a new file in the output's folder, flushes it and renames it
over the target, removing the new file on failure. A failed write (disk full, unwritable
folder) no longer truncates the input under --in-place (RFC-0012 rule 1.6). A link output
still writes the linked file.
- --save in place already goes through the engine's replace_file (tmp + rename), and
file.bounce_mix renders to <name>.part and renames it when complete, so both are atomic.
- The desktop's --control / SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT no longer treat [::1] as loopback: the
control server binds 127.0.0.1 only. [::1]:P is a usage error from the flag and is ignored
with a warning from the variable. The CLI's --connect / app --port still accept [::1]:P.
Error tip and docs/cli.md updated.
- mcp --connect conflicts with --demo (exit 2): the demo session belongs to the in-process
server. Help and docs/cli.md say so.
* test(audio-io): list the decode fixtures in ATTRIBUTION.md
cargo xtask assets needs a row for every committed audio file; one
directory row covers crates/audio-io/tests/fixtures/.
* fix(cli): refuse non-finite --start and --end values
* refactor(cli): parse the control target once; open sessions by path; keep error sources
- A1: ControlTarget { host, port } is parsed once by args::control_target; is_loopback() replaces
control_port/ControlPort, and Remote::new takes &ControlTarget.
- A2: engine::io::open_session takes impl AsRef<Path>; the CLI no longer requires a Unicode path
to open a session, only for the --bounce and --save paths that go into JSON.
- A3: ValueError::Json keeps the serde_json::Error; Remote::request returns RemoteError and
AutomationRoots::new returns RootError, both carried by CliError.
* test(engine): pass session paths to open_session without a borrow
* test(cli): info opens a session at a non-Unicode path
* refactor(app): log the shared long version; info: session extension in any case; Switch beside Env
* ui: move panel docking onto craft-ui's shared Workspace and DockCommand
Pin every craft-libs crate at 16fb3d4 (craft-libs main after #285).
The Edit and Mix workspaces are craft_ui::docking::Workspace<Panel>.
ui.dock and ui.dock.reset parse into DockCommand; the app keeps its
panels, permissions, defaults, the document-view and Mix rules, the
beside-the-canvas fallback for panels without a recorded place, and
Arrange. The canvas accepts splits so panels still open beside it.
Saved v1 workspaces (no version, floating windows as
{panels, active, rect}) load unchanged. Tests cover loading one and
dragging a group by its drag bar.
* ui: test that activating a hidden panel shows it
* ui: name the field in ui.dock operation errors; document the shared panel menu and zones
The built-in plugins had no subharmonic synthesizer. Subharmonic
(`subharmonic`, Harmonic category, also offline as AudioSuite) adds the
octave below a lower and an upper band of the input. The Range picks the
two band frequencies (120-180, 80-120, 60-90 or 40-60 Hz). Each band
band-passes the input at its frequency and multiplies it by a flip-flop
that changes sign on every rising zero crossing, which moves the band an
octave down at a level that follows the band. A direct band adds the
input's own bass.
Each band has a gain from -120 to +24 dB and a solo; a solo also mutes
the dry signal. Drive raises the summed bands into one of six saturation
characters, and HP and LP filters (5 to 1000 Hz, Q 0.1 to 5) shape the
result. Below 50 % Mix the dry signal stays at full level, above 50 % the
wet signal does, and Wet Solo mutes the dry signal. Input and Output run
from -18 to +18 dB.
The Total row in docs/plugin-parity.md now counts 25 processors and 3
instruments, the entries in the built-in registry, and its Instruments
row lists `sampler` and no longer lists the Sampler as missing.
Auto Pan (`auto_pan`) pans the mono sum of a stereo track between the
left and right channels with constant-power gains. The position is
Manual scaled by (1 - Width) plus the modulator scaled by Width, and
Path sets the direction. The modulator is an LFO with seven waveforms,
or an envelope follower that moves the signal from the start of the
path at the threshold to the end at full scale.
The LFO rate is set in BPM, or follows the session tempo with Link to
Tempo, and Duration (a 16th note to 4 bars) sets the length of one
cycle at that rate. The LFO runs free, runs once, restarts at every
Duration on the transport (Beat Clock; bar Durations count from the
bar line), or runs one cycle each time the level rises through the
threshold or the Manual Trigger switch changes. After an envelope
trigger, the next one waits until the level has stayed below the
threshold for the Release time. Output sets the level from -24 dB to
+12 dB. On a mono track the insert has one channel, and only Output
applies.
The plugin parity doc, ROADMAP and the README plugin list name it, and
the parity doc's built-in count now reads 25 processors + 3
instruments.
The built-in plugins had no ring modulator, and AudioSuite > Modulation >
Sci-Fi ran the Flanger instead. Ring Modulator (`ring_mod`, Modulation
category, also offline as AudioSuite) has four effects: Ring multiplies the
input by a sine carrier, Frequency Mod reads the input through a delay the
carrier swings by 1 ms, and Resonator + and Resonator - feed the output back
after one period of the frequency with a positive or a negative sign. At full
depth an LFO or sample and hold moves the frequency by up to two octaves
either way, and an envelope follower raises it by up to two octaves.
AudioSuite > Modulation > Sci-Fi now opens it.
The Total row in docs/plugin-parity.md now counts 25 processors and 3
instruments, the entries in the built-in registry.
The Bounce dialog never sent `dither`, so every 16- and 24-bit bounce
was dithered, and file.bounce_stems hard-coded it. The dialog gets a
Dither (TPDF) checkbox, off by default and disabled for 32-bit float,
and file.bounce_stems takes the same `dither?: true` parameter as
file.bounce_mix.
#181 already pushes instrument params each block, so drop the duplicate
apply_instrument_params. Import Session Data now brings a Sampler's sample
along and remaps its source id.

wgpu's default DX12 compiler (Auto) loads whichever dxcompiler.dll the DLL
search path finds. SoundCraft ships none, and without a matching dxil.dll the
unsigned-DXIL warning fails wgpu's indirect-validation pipeline, the device
is lost and the app exits before the first frame. Pin the compiler to FXC,
which is part of Windows; WGPU_DX12_COMPILER still overrides it.

both into zoom_delta, so the old Cmd+scroll branch never ran; Shift+wheel
pans sideways again for the same reason.
- Two-finger panning keeps the sub-sample remainder, so slow motion still
moves at the closest zoom; the scrollbar drag pans the same way (its range
now takes in the view, so the thumb stays in the bar), and the rulers pan
too. Panning stays open-ended to the right, as before.
- A swipe keeps to the axis it starts along, so panning doesn't drift between
tracks and scrolling doesn't drift in time. The larger share of its first
6 points decides until egui reports the scroll over: the fingers lift, or
150 ms pass without wheel events.
- The MIDI editor scrolls by the point instead of rounding each frame's delta
to whole rows (slow swipes did nothing), and its range fits the panel
(pitch 0 could not be reached; a taller panel showed blank rows).
- Zoom and scroll write through `Engine::zoom_mut` (`view` commands): no
playback resync (a session copy sent to the audio thread every frame), no
copy of the whole session per frame, no journal entry per frame, and no
end to an undo gesture (scrolling during an automation pass made each
write its own undo step). New `view.zoom_by {factor, x?}`;
`view.scroll` saturates; Fill Window and Zoom to Selection stay within the
zoom range (zooming out after them on a long session zoomed in).
- Control channel: `ui.scroll` (trackpad swipe or wheel notches) and
`ui.zoom` (pinch); `session.inspect` reports zoom.
- release.yml: new linux-riscv64 job, cross-compiled on ubuntu-24.04 against ports.ubuntu.com
riscv64 libs (the linux job's -dev packages incl. libasound2-dev:riscv64), CLI smoke-tested
under qemu-riscv64; wired into the release job's needs so SHA256SUMS covers it.
- packaging/linux/package.sh: CROSS_ARCH/CROSS_TARGET/CROSS_COMPILE/EMULATOR support.
- clap-host: c_char -> u8 without a cast that is a no-op (clippy error) where c_char is u8.
- Version 0.4.0 -> 0.5.0; docs list the riscv64 tarball.

* Progress docs to the craftrules standard; full re-measure against Pro Tools 2026.4.1
Stage: alpha. Menu breadth 482/512 (94.1%, measured), feature breadth ~70%,
ready for real work ~40%; ~350-570 agent-hours to beta, ~950-1,450 to full parity,
calibrated on this repo's PR history.
- ROADMAP.md rewritten: stage banner, two numbers, dimension/feature/language tables
- docs/target-app-parity.md: authoritative assessment (area table moved from ROADMAP)
- docs/gaps.md: 22 ranked gaps with evidence and estimates
- docs/roadmap.md: milestones, current focus, beta plan
- docs/ui-, file-format-, hardware-, plugin-, localization-parity.md: new checklists
- docs/parity.md -> docs/parity-checklist.md (generated by cargo xtask parity)
- architecture.md: video, vst3-host, au-host crates; device I/O limits

* Stage: pre-alpha under the core-workflow gate
Add the alpha gate to docs/roadmap.md: interface recording at a chosen buffer
size, MIDI recording, and session interchange with Pro Tools fail, so the stage
moves from alpha to pre-alpha (~5 points and ~110-180 agent-hours to alpha).
Mark the alpha blockers in docs/gaps.md; update ROADMAP.md, target-app-parity.md
and README.

* Add mainstream-practitioner and essentials-user readiness numbers
Mainstream practitioner ~36% (weekly-area depth 50.6% x 0.90 interaction x 0.92
stability x 0.85 file exchange) and essentials user ~57% (core-feature depth
72.4% x 0.90 launch/stability x 0.90 discoverability x 0.97 files), with written
weights, discounts and GitHub user evidence. Full ready-for-real-work checked
against its written dimension weights (40.6%); unchanged at ~40%, stage unchanged.

* Readiness by audience: hours to ~95% for full, mainstream and essentials
Full ~40% / 950-1,450 h, mainstream ~36% / 380-600 h, essentials ~57% / 110-200 h,
calibrated on this repo's PR history. The full number is already an additive
weighted sum over the written dimension table; method unchanged.

A third built-in instrument next to Subtractive Synth and Drum Synth. It plays one
sample across the keyboard: root note, transpose and fine tune, key tracking, key and
velocity ranges, amp ADSR with velocity sensitivity, sample start, forward or ping-pong
loops, gate or one-shot playback, 32 voices with cubic interpolation. The sample's own
rate is converted as it plays.
- dsp: `Plugin::set_sample` and the `SampleSource` trait hand an instrument shared
audio without copying; the Adsr from the synth is reused.
- model: `Insert::sample` names the session source the sampler plays.
- mix: sync hands the pool audio to the instrument when it changes, and built-in
instruments now get their parameter values applied (they always ran on defaults).
- engine: `mix.sampler_load {track?, path, params?}` decodes WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, OGG
(anything file.import_audio reads) into a session source, resampled to the session
rate and saved in Audio Files with the session; `mix.sampler_clear`; and
`mix.instrument_param {track?, param, value}` for any built-in instrument.
Tests generate their audio in code; no bundled assets.
The window checks every playlist, including inactive takes, for missing audio, rate mismatches, empty buffers, and clips that extend past their source.
eframe's default wgpu instance enables PRIMARY | GL on Windows. Creating
the OpenGL backend can crash inside AMD's atio6axx.dll before the window
appears, so the app exits silently at launch. When WGPU_BACKEND is not
set, the Windows instance now enables only DirectX 12; an explicit
WGPU_BACKEND is still honoured. macOS, Linux and web are unchanged.
Same fix as storytold/designcraft#168 and storytold/filmcraft#179.

- AppImages embed gh-releases-zsync update information and ship a .zsync beside them.
- New flatpak job repackages the Linux tarball into soundcraft-<v>-linux-<arch>.flatpak
(bundle manifest + flatpak-bundle.sh). Sandbox: pulseaudio socket (PipeWire's pulse server),
~/.vst3 and ~/.clap read-only, the LinuxAudio.Plugins extension point via VST3_PATH/CLAP_PATH;
no raw ALSA devices, no JACK. The from-source Flathub manifest gets the same finish-args.
- Only signing jobs (macOS, Windows) and the draft job keep `environment: release`, so a branch
dispatch dry-runs Linux, Flatpak, FreeBSD and web; the draft job still needs the signed jobs.
- README: Downloads section; docs/releasing.md updated.

The desktop app installed no logger, so every log::warn!/log::error! in
the workspace was discarded: the engine's panic report, audio devices
that failed to open or broke, plugins that refused their stored state or
failed to activate, CLAP plugins' own log messages, files that failed to
open. A launch from a desktop menu has no terminal either, so there was
nothing to attach to a bug report.
apps/soundcraft/src/logging.rs (no new dependency):
- standard error plus <settings dir>/logs/soundcraft.log (beside
ui.json, Autosave/ and Presets/); each launch rotates the previous log
to soundcraft.1.log and .2.log, so the log of a run that crashed
survives the next start; the file is capped at 16 MiB
- records logged before the settings directory is known are buffered
(bounded) and written once the file is attached
- default levels: info for soundcraft*, warn for everything else;
RUST_LOG replaces them with env_logger-style directives
- never panics: an unusable directory or a failed write leaves standard
error as the only sink; a poisoned lock is tolerated
- runs with SOUNDCRAFT_NO_PREFS (agents' test runs) log to standard
error only, so they don't rotate away the user's own logs
Realtime audio: a record takes a lock and does I/O, which the audio
callback must never do, yet code on the audio thread logs (the cpal
error callbacks, the synth's full event queue, a hosted plugin's failed
process, a CLAP plugin calling the host's log, the panic hook). The cpal
callbacks now mark their thread (soundcraft_mix::mark_audio_thread,
re-exported by soundcraft_playback), and the mix engine carries the mark
into the rayon workers that render strips for it. A record from a marked
thread is not written there: the first is kept in a fixed buffer
(try_lock, no allocation, never waits), the rest are counted, and the UI
thread writes them every frame (any other thread before its own next
record).
The logger is installed first in main (before the engine's panic hook)
and the file is opened after argument parsing (--version leaves no
file). The settings directory moves out of prefs_path into config_dir.
The control server's eprintln!s go through the logger (the
SOUNDCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT line on standard output stays). Documented in
README.md (Getting started > Logs) and docs/architecture.md (Audio).
