`IHostApplication::createInstance` returned nothing, so plugins whose
controller and processor exchange `IMessage`s through
`IConnectionPoint::notify` could not create one. Line 6 Helix Stadium
Native reported "Failed to get content database recovery info (Out of
memory condition. [code -2])", loaded no models and exposed no
parameters.
The host now creates `IMessage` (an id plus its attribute list) and
`IAttributeList` (ints, floats, UTF-16 strings and binary blobs, by
NUL-terminated attribute id). Strings and blobs are kept in their own
allocation so pointers from `getBinary` stay valid while the list holds
the value; strings are capped at 1M UTF-16 units and blobs at 256 MiB.
Null arguments are refused rather than read. Other classes are still not
provided.
Verified with Helix Stadium Native 1.03.3a on Windows: the error is gone,
its model database and presets load, and its parameters appear in the
generic plugin window. A unit test drives the objects through the COM
interfaces the way a plugin does.

Plugins that offer no floating editor (most CLAP plugins on Windows) now
get a host window of SoundCraft's: the GUI is created embedded, parented
to a top-level HWND owned by the app window, sized from get_size, resized
on request_resize (applied by the editor's idle on the main thread, then
set_size), and torn down when the user closes the window. Floating
editors work as before; other platforms still report embedded editors
as unsupported.

* 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.
