* Build: line tables only for workspace crates, no debug info for dependencies
Full debug info made most of the dev and test target size and link time. Line tables keep file and line numbers in backtraces; dependency frames lose them.
* Tests: build each crate's integration tests as one binary
Each tests/*.rs file was its own test binary: 98 binaries, each linking the crate and its dependencies. The files are now modules of tests/it/main.rs, one binary per crate, which cuts link time and target size. Filter by module: `cargo test -p <crate> --test it <module>::`.
Binaries with their own main (harness = false) in clap-host and vst3-host stay separate, as do the ui-egui tests that switch the process-wide Light/Dark palette and recovery.rs, whose autosave locks leak into child processes other tests start.
* Xtask: run tests with nextest, doctests apart, and no examples in the test build
cargo xtask ci runs the tests with cargo nextest when it is installed, else cargo test with a notice, and doctests with cargo test --doc. The test build leaves out examples (--lib --bins --tests); clippy --all-targets still compiles them. Test binaries with harness = false run under cargo test: their own main cannot answer nextest's --list. clippy and the wasm check keep going past a failing crate. cargo xtask test runs the test step alone.
* 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.

Video (new standalone crate soundcraft-video):
- Pure-Rust H.264 (Baseline/Main/High), ProRes (all flavours) and Motion JPEG decoding with
ISO-BMFF demux, adapted from FilmCraft's crates; fuzzed with mutated/truncated movies
- TrackKind::Video with ClipContent::Video referencing Session.videos; file.import_video adds
the picture track and the movie's audio; relinking on open; video.offset/online/list
- Video and Video Universe windows, thumbnails on the timeline, background decoding
Third-party plugins:
- Plugin state (CLAP state ext, VST3 component + controller state) saved in sessions
- Hosted instances created, state-loaded and dropped on the UI thread, never the audio thread
- Plugin editors: floating CLAP GUIs and VST3 views on macOS (verified with Melodyne)
- New isolated FFI crate soundcraft-au-host: Audio Units on macOS (effects and instruments,
parameters, latency, MIDI, ClassInfo state), wired into the mixer and plugin browser
UI: Window > Renderer (speaker layout with live levels and object positions), Window > UI
Customization (interface scale, reduce motion), Window > Configurations > Auto-Update.
Fix: saturating sample-index math in clip rendering (hostile stretch values overflowed).

Surround:
- main and bus formats up to 9.1.6 and Ambisonics; pairwise constant-power
surround panner (divergence, centre, LFE, height) per track and send;
ITU fold-down; multichannel bounce with correct WAV channel masks;
multichannel device output; surround panner and multichannel meters in the
Mix window; setup.main_format, mix.surround_pan, mix.send_surround_pan
VST3:
- soundcraft-vst3-host: isolated unsafe crate (vst3 bindings, MIT), scans
standard folders, hosts components/processors/controllers, params,
latency, notes; VST3 menu; engine.vst3_plugins; e2e tests with a fixture
Hardening:
- positions from parameters clamped; offline renders capped and bounded to
track material; loop/transport limits; hostile-parameter property test

- soundcraft-clap-host: scans standard CLAP folders, loads plugins via
clap-sys/libloading, implements the Plugin trait (audio, params, latency,
notes); the only crate allowed unsafe, every block documented; stubs on wasm
- mixer, engine (mix.insert, engine.clap_plugins) and Mix window CLAP menu
- end-to-end tests against a Rust-built fixture plugin
- file.bounce_stems: one soloed file per track

Workspace for SoundCraft, a clean-room pure-Rust Pro Tools-class DAW:
timebases and tempo maps, WAV/AIFF/FLAC/symphonia audio IO with peaks,
SMF and MIDI ops, 26 original DSP plugins, the session model, the mix
engine, ~180 registered commands with undo, a cpal player, and the
agent rules (AGENTS.md, ATTRIBUTION.md).
