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.
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.
