adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0e73fd85b9 Route sounds, songs and buses in one Master routing graph (#351)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m20s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 15m17s
A project bus could only go into one other bus, and a sound, an
instrument, a pattern or a song into exactly one bus. A shared reverb
needs a sound to go there in part and on dry at the same time. Instead
of a list of sends on every asset, the project gets one routing graph
like the routing of a song (#350), one level up.

- Menu -> Master routing opens a tab with one graph per project. It has
  a node per sound, instrument, pattern, song and bus, named after its
  asset, and one Master. Embedded assets have none, their song routes
  them.
- The nodes follow the assets. Every edit settles the routing in the
  same undo step (KeepRoutingCommand), so an undone delete brings the
  links of its asset back. A new asset gets a node and a link to the
  master. What went only into a deleted bus goes to the master.
- New nodes start in three columns: what plays, the buses, and the
  master a row above, so no link into it runs behind a bus.
- Links are sends: -60 to +12 dB, and a Mode on links out of a bus or a
  song. Out of a sound, an instrument or a pattern a link always takes
  the sound after its volume and FX. Loops are refused.
- A node without a link is silent and says "Goes nowhere".
- The rows Bus and Into are gone. Play nodes with a picked bus still
  overrule the routing.
- A click on a node shows its asset in the inspector, the Master shows
  the master volume and sound FX. A double click opens the asset's tab.
- The graph lives in project.routing and is held to the assets when a
  project is read, but nothing is added there. The editor adds the
  nodes when it opens a project. An asset without a node plays on the
  master, so old projects sound as before without a migration.
- In the mix an asset with one link at 0 dB goes straight into that bus.
  A sound or instrument with more gets a bus of its own with the sends.
  A pattern or song sends from the master of its playing, which is
  where its Mode taps. Buses of the mix can have sends now too.

Found:

- The check "the scheduler plans a looped bar" in e2e 34 wobbles. It
  failed in 2 of 5 runs here and in CI task 580 at 490fcba, before
  this change. HEAD passed it 2 of 2. Not fixed here.

Tests:

- Unit master-routing (new, 10), sound-library (2 new), buses
  rewritten onto the routing, 5 lists without the Bus row. 5 counter
  checks red.
- e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 93 checks (3 new, 2 rewritten).
  Counter check with the Sound tab ignoring the routing: the routing
  check red.
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 273 files, 4225 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 8891f027db Pick a pattern's sign in one row, as a song's (#364)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m52s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 15m0s
A pattern had two rows for its meter, Beats per bar and Beat, while a
song has had one row Sign since #363. Both now pick from the same list.

- The list of signs and how a sign becomes a meter moved to time.ts.
  Song and pattern share it.
- A pattern keeps its meter in `sign`. The fields `beats` and `beat`
  are gone, a sign that is not in the list counts as 4/4.
- Create pattern in a song hands the song's sign to the new pattern.
- The four patterns of cbbf160bb7e8 were moved to `sign` by hand
  (three 4/4, one 3/4). The other projects only had 4/4, which stays
  the default.

Tests:
- Unit pattern/embedded: 30 green (1 new, 2 rewritten), the
  counter-test reading `beats` again turns 2 red
- e2e 64 + 65 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 85 checks
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 272 files, 4215 tests

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0d57a2f3c4 Pick a song's sign in one row, and let its patterns keep theirs (#363)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m46s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 15m52s
A song had two rows for its meter, Beats per bar and Beat, and the
patterns it kept to itself took both from it on every change. Their
length is counted in bars, so a new sign cut or stretched them and
their items.

- The song has one row Sign with 1/2, 2/2, 3/2, 1/4 to 6/4 and 5/8
  to 9/8, 4/4 by default. It is stored as `sign`. A value not in the
  list reads as 4/4.
- An embedded pattern keeps its own tempo and meter, as a project
  pattern does. Its inspector shows Tempo, Beats per bar and Beat
  again and hides only Bus.
- A pattern made in a song still starts with the song's tempo and
  sign, so its first bar fits the item it gets.
- A copy (Embed a copy, a paste from another song) keeps its clock.
  `clockFollowers` and the follow step in `AssetPropertyCommand` are
  gone.
- No load migration. The two songs of the user's project were moved
  from `beats`/`beat` to `sign` by hand. No other project had a song
  with a meter of its own.

Tests:
- Unit song + embedded + pattern: 44 green, 1 new, 4 rewritten.
  Counter-probes: a copy taking the song's clock and a sign outside
  the list both turn a test red.
- e2e 65 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 57 checks (1 new: Sign picked
  from its list in the inspector).
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 272 files, 4214 tests.
  After it, `SIGNS` lost its `as const` and the cast went with it.
  Typecheck, lint and the 44 unit tests ran again, all green.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 e721bba120 Let the places of a song share what it keeps to itself (#357)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m54s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 15m58s
With clips, one take serves many items: four items on the four clips
of one take. The rule from #355 gave every further place its own copy
of an embedded asset, so a cut made in the Sound tab reached one item
only. Now the song, its tracks and its items share a sound, a pattern
or a sound FX the song keeps.

- settleEmbedded no longer copies within the song. An embedded asset
  stays as long as one place names it, and goes with the last one.
- A paste from another song still gets a copy, but one copy for all
  the places naming the same asset, with its clip ids mapped.
- The picks in a song offer what the song keeps, under a line after
  the project's assets: the Sound row of an item the song's sounds
  and their clips, the Pattern row its patterns, every sound FX pick
  its sound FX.
- Make project asset and Embed a copy are unchanged.

The project cbbf160bb7e8 was merged by hand afterwards: the items of
Song 2 on three copies of Take 1 now play the same clips of the first
one, and the copies are gone.

Tests:
- Unit embedded, sound-clips, own-fx and the song tests: 66 green,
  3 counter-checks red as expected
- e2e 65 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 52 checks
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 271 files, 4198 tests

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 42a3759d9d Cut a sound into named clips, as a texture into frames (#357)
A sound could only be cut to one stretch, set on the asset itself. To
play two parts of one file, the file had to be imported twice. Now a
sound is always the whole file, and its clips are the stretches of it,
each with a name and a cut of its own.

- A clip is { id, name, props } on SoundAsset.clips. Its id shares the
  generator with asset ids, so a sound field holds a sound or a clip,
  as a texture field holds a texture or a frame.
- props are the cut: start, end, the fades and their curves, reverse.
  Volume, loop, sound FX and bus stay on the sound for all its clips.
  The cut rows left the sound's schema for CLIP_ROWS.
- findSound resolves either id. Play sound, the Sample of an
  instrument, a Reverb impulse, song items, the scheduler and the test
  sound of the Sound FX tab all go through it.
- Every sound field offers each sound followed by its clips, "Kick",
  "Kick / Clip 1". A clip that is gone reads as "<id>?".
- The Sound tab has a strip under the ruler with the clips as bands.
  A drag there makes a clip, a click picks one, beside the bands the
  sound. Only the picked clip has handles. Reverse, fades and curves
  in the header work on it and are greyed out without one.
- Whole file is gone from the header, as the user asked.
- Picking a clip is a selection of its own, like a frame. The
  inspector shows its name, its cut rows and Delete clip. Delete
  takes it away without asking, as with a frame. Ctrl+Z brings it
  back.
- Copies get fresh clip ids: Duplicate, Embed a copy, a song
  duplicated with its takes, and the copy a split or paste makes of
  an embedded take. An item on a clip plays the same clip of its copy.
- A double-click on a song item playing a clip opens its sound with
  the clip picked. The Sound row of an item on an embedded take
  offers the take and its clips, which no list shows.
- A new take stays the whole sound. Clips are made by hand, as the
  user decided.
- No migration in the code, as the user decided. The one project
  with cut sounds was changed over by hand.

Deviation from the issue: deleting a used clip does not warn. A frame
does not warn either, and the issue had promised "like a frame".

Tests:
- Unit sound-clips (new): 11 green, 7 counter-checks each red
- Unit sounds, embedded: adjusted to clips, green
- e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 90 checks (3 new, 12 rewritten)
- Counter-check in the browser: clips left out of the sound fields,
  the picker check fails
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 271 files, 4194 tests

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 668682c4ff Give a song, a track or an item a sound FX of its own (#355)
A sound FX for one place in a song had to be a project asset, which
then stood in every picker. Now every pick of a sound FX in a song
can make one the song keeps for that place alone, on top of the
embedded assets of the first two parts.

- Create sound FX sits at the end of the Sound FX row of the song,
  a track and an item, and of the menu of a track's FX button. It
  makes "Sound FX 1", 2, … per song with the Input wired to the
  Output, picks it and opens it. That is one undo step.
- Embed a copy, while the place names a project FX, gives the place
  a copy under the same name.
- While the place names its own, the menu shows it with the mark and
  offers Edit sound FX and Make project asset.
- Picking anything else lets it go in the same undo step. For a
  track or an item `settleEmbedded` did that already. For the song's
  own row `AssetPropertyCommand` now settles the song after `fx`.
- The mark `•` moved to the core. `assetRefLabel` puts it in front of
  an embedded asset, so the inspector rows show it like the timeline.
- `FieldHandlers.moreChoices` lets a caller end a reference menu
  with entries of its own. `embeddedPatternName` is `embeddedName`
  with a base now.

Tests:
- Unit own-fx (new): 6 green, 6 counter-checks each red
- Unit embedded and 80 neighbouring files: 1434 green
- e2e 65 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 51 checks (2 new)
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 270 files, 4178 tests

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 49669017b1 Make a pattern right in a song with a right-click (#355)
A pattern for one song had to be made in the Assets panel first and
dragged in, and then stood in every picker of the project. Now a
right-click on an empty spot of a track makes one the song keeps to
itself, on top of the embedded assets of the first part.

- Create pattern lays an item from the grid line before the spot,
  a bar long, and opens the pattern in its tab. Pattern, item and
  name are one undo step. The name is "Pattern 1", 2, … per song.
- It plays the instrument of the track's pattern item that starts
  last before the spot, else of the first one after it. An item's
  own pick counts before its pattern's.
- An embedded pattern runs on the song's clock. It takes the tempo
  and the meter of the song, and a change on the song moves it along
  in the same undo step (`AssetPropertyCommand`).
- Its rows Tempo, Beats per bar, Beat and Bus are hidden, as the
  song decides them. Length, grid, instrument and sound FX stay.
- A copy that comes to a song (Embed a copy, a paste from another
  song) takes that song's clock. Made a project asset, it keeps the
  values it had.
- `CreateAssetCommand` takes an owner. `embeddedCopy` takes the song
  now, not its id.
- The cleanup of e2e 65 also takes what the song keeps.

Tests:
- Unit embedded: 18 green (5 new), 6 counter-checks each red
- Unit take, song, pattern and the asset commands: green
- e2e 65 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 49 checks (2 new)
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 269 files, 4172 tests

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 23cb34f781 Keep a recorded take inside its song (#355)
A take used to land in the Assets panel as "Song – Take N", next to
every other sound of the project. Now a song can keep a sound, a
pattern or a sound FX to itself: an ordinary asset whose new field
`owner` names the song. Everything that finds an asset by its id
finds it, so playing, the tabs and the game need no change. Only
the places that list assets leave it out.

- `core/music/embedded.ts` holds the rules: which types can be
  embedded, `listedAssets`, the title "Song › Take 1", and the
  rows an embedded sound hides (Loop, Bus).
- One user per embedded asset. `SetSongCommand` settles the song
  after every edit: a place naming an asset an earlier place
  claimed, or one of another song, gets a copy, and what nothing
  names any more goes in the same undo step. The outcome is worked
  out once, so a redo brings back the same copies.
- A split, Ctrl+D and a paste get that for free. The clipboard
  keeps the embedded assets of the copied items, so a paste after a
  delete brings the take back.
- Deleting a song deletes what it keeps. Duplicating it copies
  that and points the copy at the copies. A duplicate of an
  embedded asset is a project asset.
- The item menu has Open, Make project asset and Embed a copy.
- An embedded item carries a bullet in front of its name. The
  first pick was a diamond, which the gate's font test refused:
  the UI font has no glyph for it.
- A take is "Take 1", 2, … numbered per song. With the song gone
  while it uploads, it becomes a project sound under a free name.
- Left out of: the Assets panel, every asset picker, the sound FX
  menu of a track, the test sound of the Sound FX tab and the
  naming of new assets. Delete on an embedded asset only says
  where it lives. A ping lights up its song.
- Loading drops an `owner` whose song is gone, the asset stays as
  a project asset. No migration: older projects have no owner.

Tests:
- Unit embedded (new): 13 green, 6 counter-checks each red
- Unit take, song, song-edit, asset-fx, asset-ref, serialize and
  neighbours: 116 green
- e2e 65 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 47 checks (1 new)
- Counter-check e2e 65 (asset panel unfiltered): exactly that
  check red
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 269 files, 4167 tests
