adminandClaude Opus 5.5 bd99f9e79d Let automation lanes of a song track be drawn in the song tab (#337)
Stage 2 of #337. The lanes of stage 1 played, but nobody could make
one. Now a track folds out a lane for volume and one for pan, and
points are set, dragged and eased right on the timeline.

- A lane is a row of its own, as high as a track, below its track.
  The view functions stay row based, so zoom, fit, item drags and
  the composition (which shares them) are unchanged.
- itemAt and itemsWithin take a map of track id to row.
- A triangle in the track head folds the lanes out. The head menu
  shows or hides each lane. A lane with points is open by itself.
- Which lanes are open belongs to the view of the tab and is saved
  with it. It is not part of the song and makes no undo step.
- A click sets a point on the grid, Alt or Shift on the exact tick.
  Press and drag sets one and drags it in a single undo step.
- A dragged point stops at its neighbour. Two points on one tick
  make a jump. Double click or Delete removes a point.
- The value shows next to a dragged point and as a tooltip.
- Right click on a point opens "Ease to next point" with the same
  choice as animation keys, curve assets included.
- The lane head shows the value at the playhead. Its menu clears
  or hides the lane.
- While a lane rules a value, the fader shows it in the lane colour
  and cannot be dragged (decision 4). A hint says why.
- Geometry in laneView.ts, edit rules in laneEdit.ts, the easing
  menu in easingMenu.ts. New test hooks automationAt,
  automationHeadAt and automation under __gm.song.

Open: the Volume (dB) field of a track in the inspector can still be
changed while a lane rules it. It has no effect while playing.

Tests:
- song-lanes.test.ts (12, new) and song-edit adapted: 27/27.
  Editor tests of song and composition 62/62.
- 9 counter checks, all compile, all red.
- e2e 65 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 66 checks. 65g2 is new with
  6 checks. It goes red when a set point is not taken on release.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 329 files, 5065 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 b5e071ca68 Let the agent read what is heard in the running game (#436)
The agent has no ears. It could start music and sounds, but not tell
whether anything reached the speakers: a song without an instrument, a
bus at volume 0 or a browser that holds the audio clock all looked the
same from outside.

- get_runtime has a section audio. Under levels it gives the peak and
  RMS in dB of the master, each bus of the mix, each pattern, song or
  composition playing and the tracks of a song. Below -90 dB it says
  silent.
- The levels come from a tap of their own after the level and pan of
  each bus, an AnalyserNode per side as for the meters of the Song tab.
  It looks back about 0.7 s, so the gap between two notes is not
  silence. A pause holds the values, which fits play with until.
- Under voices it names what sounds now: a sound by its asset, a note
  of an instrument with its note name, each with its bus and object.
  Next to them planned, playing, waiting (bytes not here yet) and
  failed.
- Under clock it gives the state of the audio clock, with a hint when
  it stands still while the game runs. The state is told as it was
  before a pause, else the pause would hide that case.
- The buses are tapped only while the agent is switched on.
- The note now travels with a voice from the Start of a pattern or song
  to the SoundLibrary, so a voice can be named by it.
- tools.json and the relay's instructions tell the agent to check under
  audio that music and sounds are really heard.

Found on the user's project: started right after F5, before a click in
the page, the browser kept the audio clock suspended for the whole run.
Nothing was heard and the notes stayed planned. That is what clock now
shows.

Tests:
- Unit: sound-library (taps, levels, voices, clock), agent-play
  (audioView). Pattern and song tests expect the note in their timing.
- 9 counter-checks, 8 red. Not dropping a tap with its bus stays green,
  as the bus is cut off and gone anyway.
- e2e 71 (melektaus-atx): 28/28. New 71h4: a sound on the master and
  one on a bus at volume 0, both voices named, the master loud, the bus
  silent, the values held in the pause.
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 327 files, 5037 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 70402aa19a Let the agent hold the game at a given game time (#435)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m31s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 19m9s
The agent could not look at a short moment of a running game. Its
calls took longer than the moment lasted, so an intro window from
0.5 to 2 s slipped past twice in the 5d test. Now the editor itself
stops the clock at the time the agent names.

- play takes until: play, resume or pause let the game run on to
  that game time and hold it there. The call answers once the game
  is paused, so get_runtime and screenshot show that moment.
- The frame that would step past the time is cut short
  (frameWithin in src/core/time.ts, used in PlaySession). The game
  stands at 0.5 s, not one frame later.
- play_input takes a last step {"pause": true}. After a wait it
  holds the game at the time of the wait, after a key or click at
  once. Its answer names the game time and whether it is paused.
- A pause that comes first (toolbar or a Break node), a Load scene
  or a Restart game call the until off, and the answer says so.
- When the clock stands still, the call gives up after 25 s with
  the time it is at. A tab in the background is refused at once.
- A recording that does not run in real time is not cut. There the
  game stops in the first frame that reaches the time.
- get_runtime and play_input give times to the millisecond, not to
  the hundredth, so 0.505 no longer reads as 0.51.
- The relay's instructions name both ways.

Tests:
- Unit agent-play (6 new) and time (2 new): 19/19, related editor
  and relay tests 1158/1158.
- 6 counter-checks, all compile, all red. One stayed green at
  first: 0.3 s is exactly 18 frames. The test now takes 0.31 s.
- e2e 71 (atx): ALL PASSED, 27 checks. New 71h3 holds at 0.505 s
  and 0.8 s and after a wait of 0.31 s. Without the cut in
  PlaySession it went red at 0.5166 s.
- Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 327 files, 5033 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 e4ccf5f72f Keep other nodes out of a group the agent makes round new nodes
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m18s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 19m7s
A group made in an agent call is fitted round its nodes only after
the call has arranged them, and the arrangement knew nothing of it.
With On key held, Move and Owner placed fresh, a group round key and
move and one round the owner, the Owner landed beside the key. Move
is taller than the key, so the Owner stood in the first group and the
two groups lay on each other. lint_graph counted none of it. Found
while testing copy_nodes (#434).

- arrange takes the new option blocks: sets of arranged nodes a group
  is fitted round afterwards. Once the columns are laid out, whatever
  would stand in such a group goes below it, a node or the group of
  another set, with everything arranged under it.
- The flow keeps its columns. A first try laid each set out as one
  block instead, but then the link from the Owner ran over the key
  inside the group (throughNodes 1).
- AgentEdit passes every group made in the call whose nodes are all
  new. Groups round nodes already there and the Arrange button stay
  as they were.

Tests:
- agent-edit: new test with the setup that showed the fault. No node
  stands in a group not its own, the groups lie apart, lint_graph has
  0 overlaps, throughNodes, backwards and coveredNotes.
- Counter-check: without the new step exactly that test is red.
- Agent, graph-arrange and graph-follow tests 120/120.
- e2e 71 on atx: ALL PASSED, 26 checks.
- Gate on atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 327 files, 5025 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 fb981b5b0f Let the agent copy nodes, also into another graph (#434)
The agent built every part again that already stood in a graph,
node by node, while the editor has Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V for it. The new
command `copy_nodes` in the area graphs copies nodes into the same
graph or another one, in one undo step with the rest of the call.

- The links between the copied nodes come along, and so do groups
  and comments that are only about copied nodes. A node belongs to a
  group by its middle, as when it is dragged. `boxesAbout` in
  annotationFollow.ts decides this.
- `made` names each copy by the id of its original, so later steps
  link to it with `$copy.<id>`. `$copy` alone is the first one.
- Without x and y the copies are arranged at the end of the call like
  new nodes. With them they keep their layout, top left corner there.
- Nodes the target graph does not take are refused by name, not left
  out as Ctrl+V does. The rule is the graph tab's: `fitsGraph` and
  `fittingPart` moved from clipboard.ts to paletteEntries.ts.
- A copied Variables node takes the variables of its behavior along
  into the target behavior (`CarryVariablesCommand`), with default,
  value, Keep and Private. A variable of that name of another kind
  there is refused.
- The relay's instructions name `copy_nodes`.

Found on the way:
- Groups made by the agent can take in a node of another group once
  the nodes are arranged. lint_graph does not count that.
- Undo after a paste leaves an empty `groups: []`, as
  AddAnnotationCommand does. It is the same as no list.

Tests:
- agent-copy (new, 3 tests) with the agent, relay, clipboard and
  palette tests: 118/118.
- Counter-probes: 6 bendings, all compile, all red.
- e2e 71 (atx): ALL PASSED, 26 checks.
- Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 327 files, 5024 tests.
- Live in the MCP Test Project: 5 nodes of Arrow keys walk into a new
  behavior, 6 links, group, comment and speed (300) along, lint_graph
  0 everywhere, taken back with undo.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 24cd9fdeaa Let the agent use stored files, presets and usages (#431 #432 #433)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m16s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Failing after 19m8s
The agent got stuck where the editor has it easy: it could not make a
Sample play without a sound asset, it built instruments node by node
although the Preset menu has them ready, and it could not tell what
names an asset before reworking or deleting it.

- list_files is a new tool. It lists the pictures, fonts, sounds or
  videos the server holds, with size, video state and the asset that
  already wears a file. Bakes and stream copies of songs are left out.
- add_file_asset makes an asset of such a file, as the picker does.
  It reuses the create rules of the import pipeline, so the four
  import kinds are exported now. It refuses a file already in the
  project (naming that asset), a picture without a size, a video not
  yet converted and a file the server does not hold.
- run_commands fetches the file lists its steps need before it runs,
  so the commands themselves stay synchronous.
- apply_preset sets one of the 16 instrument presets or 7 sfxr
  presets, like the Preset menu. Presets take every note, so the
  C4 to B4 range of a new Notes node is no trap there.
- get_asset gains usedBy: every asset naming the asset or one of its
  frames or clips, with the object, node, item or key that does, plus
  start scene, master FX and master routing of the project.
- usesOf in src/core/model/usages.ts walks the project data instead of
  a list of fields, so no new field can be missed. The node every
  asset has in the master routing does not count as a use.
- The relay tells the agent about all three ways.

Found on the way: suite 740 for 2e4c0a0 (#430) was red in e2e 68h
only, a sound clip 61 ms early against 50 allowed. #430 did not touch
sound timing, and e2e 68 on the same tree was green on atx (-4 ms).
Taken as a timing wobble under load until the next suite says more.

Tests:
- agent-files (new, 4 tests) with the other agent and relay tests:
  130/130.
- 8 counter checks, all compiling, all red.
- e2e 71 on atx: 26/26, new 71g9 lists an uploaded sound, makes an
  asset of it and fills an instrument from a preset.
- Gate on atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 326 files, 5021 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 2e4c0a09ea Open clips and frames from the asset panel by double click (#430)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 4m58s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Failing after 19m37s
A double click on a clip row did not open its tab. The first click of
the double click had already selected the clip for the inspector, so
the second click selected the same thing again and the editor saw no
change. Frames of textures and pixel art had no rows at all.

- A double click now asks for the tab with openSelection, even when
  the selection is already right.
- Textures with frames and pixel art with more than one frame get a
  chevron and one row per frame, like sounds and videos. Which rows an
  asset has is decided in one place, src/core/model/assetParts.ts,
  used by the panel and the inspector link.
- A texture frame shows in the inspector on click and opens the
  texture with the frame selected on double click.
- A pixel art frame selects the pixel art on click, so an open tab
  paints on that frame. A double click opens the tab on the frame.
- A frame can be dragged onto a composition track like a video clip.
  The item carries the sprite of the whole image, the frame becomes
  the texture of its object, and it is 3 s long. The agent can do the
  same with add_composition_item.
- A texture label that names a frame now points at the frame row.

Found on the way: the e2e check from #425 only double clicked the
texture label, where the first click is a ping, so the bug never
showed there.

Tests:
- Unit: asset-parts (new, 6), composition-sprites and references

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 37779a2070 Fold object groups in the timeline, with summary keys (#414)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m21s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 20m7s
Long animations with many objects fill the timeline with rows. A
group per object can now fold away, and its header row still shows
where the group has keys, so they stay reachable while folded.

- A click on an object header or its triangle folds the group. The
  groups of the objects below it fold along.
- Which groups fold along follows the real parent in the hierarchy,
  not the indent. The root shows at the level of its children, so
  folding it hides only its own rows.
- Every header shows a summary diamond on each frame where a row of
  the group or of a group below has a key. Click selects all those
  keys, drag moves them, Ctrl+drag duplicates, a band catches them
  and Delete removes them, each through the existing commands.
- The fold state is a view of the session per animation. It is no
  undo step and is not saved.
- Selecting a row without keys inside a folded group unfolds it, so
  a fresh row from + Row does not stay hidden.
- The fold rules live in the new timelineFold.ts. keyAt became
  keysAt, which returns every key behind a summary diamond.

Found on the way: the triangle moved the object name to x 22 while
its rows stayed at x 20, left of the name (#408 check in e2e 25).
Rows now sit one step behind the name, as in the hierarchy.

Tests:
- Unit animation + timeline-view 114/114, 6 new

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 19902a9f02 Keep groups, comments and silent music in view for the agent (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 4m47s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 19m5s
A live test of the music areas built a pattern, a song and a
composition that stayed silent: no instrument at first, and later
notes outside the C4 to B4 range of a new Notes node. The agent got
no hint of either. The same test showed that new nodes left groups
behind, that a comment could end up under other nodes, and that an
end node like Output stayed left of the devices put in front of it.

- get_asset lists under silent what of a pattern, song or
  composition is not heard. That is a missing instrument, an
  instrument that sounds no note, or notes outside what its Notes
  nodes take in, in a song after the transpose.
- soundingNotes moves from the pattern tab to
  src/core/instrument/compile.ts. The tab and the agent use the
  same rule.
- When new nodes go between two that have no room, everything from
  the fed node on moves right together. This holds for Arrange with
  a selection too, so no link runs backwards.
- A new node linked to a node in a group joins that group, and the
  group grows in the same undo step. A group that would take in a
  foreign node stays as it is.
- Arrange takes groups and comments along: a group whose nodes all
  moved the same keeps its size, otherwise it is fitted anew. The
  rules live in the new src/editor/graph/annotationFollow.ts.
- add_comment and fit_group put a comment below its nodes when a
  node or a group title is in the way above. lint_graph counts
  covered comments as coveredNotes.
- add_notes, get_asset, lint_graph and the relay instructions name
  the default range and how to mend a covered comment.

  other agent, graph, pattern and relay tests green

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 10f5e3ba8f Let the agent write music and build compositions (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m17s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 18m54s
The agent could already draw, animate and wire graphs, but songs,
patterns, sound clips and compositions were out of its reach. This
last step of #429 adds the two missing catalog areas, so the agent
can now use 168 of the editor's commands.

- Area music (15 commands): notes, pattern and song loops, song
  tracks and items, sends, and clips of sounds and videos.
- Area composition (9 commands): tracks, items for objects, images
  and audio, changes with fades, volume and bus, removal, and
  animation clips.
- A pitch is a MIDI number or a name like C4 or F#3. A note past the
  end of its pattern is refused.
- Song and master routing stay graphs. The agent links them with
  connect, and set_send sets level and tap. get_graph now shows the
  send of every link.
- Lengths follow the same rules as dragging in the tab. A sound has
  a length only after the editor loaded it. get_asset reports it as
  seconds, and without it the agent has to give a length.
- Moving a composition item takes its clips along, as dragging does.
  A clip that would then overlap another one is refused. Fades are
  only allowed on items with sound.
- get_asset reads notes back with their names and gives the length
  of a pattern in ticks.

Found while testing live: two song tracks in the same column made
lint_graph report a backwards link. arrange_graph cleared it, as the
agent instructions ask.

Tests:
- agent-music (new, 9 tests) and the other agent and relay tests:
  109/109.
- 9 mutations of the new code, each one red in its own test.
- e2e 71 on melektaus-atx: 25/25. New check: notes are read back by
  name, and a composition with a pattern and a sprite opens in its

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0684e76dc5 Let the agent draw pixel art and vector art (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m46s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 19m14s
Stage 5c of the MCP work. The agent could place sprites and edit
graphs, but it could not draw: pixel art, palettes and vector art had
no commands in its catalog. Two new areas bring 29 commands, so the
catalog now holds 144.

- pixelart (13): paint, layers (add, copy, remove, change, move,
  merge down), frames (add, also as a copy, remove, move), canvas size
  with an anchor, palette colors set and removed.
- paint_pixels edits one layer on one frame. Its steps run in order:
  rows (a small picture as characters, a space keeps the pixel),
  pixels, line, rect, ellipse, fill, clear. An index the palette does
  not have, a pixel off the canvas and an unknown character are
  refused.
- vectorart (16): shapes from rings or as rect and ellipse, outline,
  style (fill, opacity, gradient or image fill, stroke), move, scale,
  rotate and flip, copy, remove, combine, rename, order, move into
  groups, group, layers.
- get_asset gives the palette of pixel art as colors. Up to 16384
  pixels over all layers and frames each layer comes as rows, above
  that only the number of painted pixels. Palette and vector colors
  come as #rrggbb.
- Merge down, canvas size and removing a color are now builders in
  pixelActions.ts. The panel and the agent share the same code.
- Color and point helpers moved into catalog/shared.ts, and graphs.ts
  uses them too.

Found while testing:

- The ellipse tests only checked the four extreme points, which stay
  right even with wrong handle lengths. The test now checks that every
  point of the drawn curve lies on the ellipse.

Tests:

- agent-drawing (new, 9) and the other agent, pixel and relay tests:
  133/133.
- 7 mutations, all red in the matching test.
- e2e 71 on melektaus-atx: 24/24. New check: the agent's pixel art
  opens in its tab, reads back as rows, and its cel is on the server
  after saving (status 200).
- Live in a test project: an 8x8 sprite and a copied second frame
  read back as painted, a rotated square and a radial gradient disc
  with their corners where computed.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 d01e2b832e Let the agent edit animations, frames, tiles and tilemaps (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m14s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 18m43s
After stage 5a the agent could build behaviors and scenes, but not
animate an object, cut a texture into frames or paint a tilemap.
Stage 5b adds three areas with 30 commands, 115 in all.

- animation (12): set the root, add, retarget and make rows relative,
  set, move, copy and delete keys, easing, insert or remove frames,
  and curve points.
- textures (8): add, change and delete frames, slice a grid, nine
  slice, sorting line and collision outline.
- tiles (10): the images of a tile, painting tilemaps, layers (add,
  copy, move, change) and the border of a placed tilemap.
- get_asset names the targets of an animation with their animatable
  properties. A tilemap up to 400 cells shows its cells, a bigger one
  only their count.
- After such a call the editor opens the tab of the animation, curve,
  texture, tile or tilemap. A frame edit selects the frame there.
- One paint step takes rectangles and single cells. Rectangles go
  first, so a cell can cut a hole into a rectangle. Cells outside the
  grid, ids that are no tile and more than 20 000 cells are refused.
  The grid is the tilemap's largest, a grown placement included.

Left out on purpose: Generate collision, because it reads the pixels
of the texture, and pasting keys, which goes through the clipboard.

Found on the way:
- Nine slice without fill now keeps the fill the image has. The
  model's default is repeat, not stretch as first described.
- Painting ran the other way round, rectangles overwrote cells.

Tests:
- agent-art (new, 11) and the other agent tests green, 64/64.
  5 bends of the code, all red.
- e2e 71 on atx: 23/23, the new check opens the agent's animation in
  its tab and reads its targets.
- Gate on atx: 321 files, 4969 tests.
- Live on a test project: a Spin animation of 360 degrees in 30
  frames matched 12 degrees per frame to 0.01 frames in the game.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0d8fd6ff52 Let the agent use the graph, scene and project commands (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m10s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Failing after 18m49s
The agent knew 23 of the editor's commands. It could not point a
Variables node at a variable, group nodes, edit ports, transitions,
containers, colliders or the project settings. Stage 5a brings the
catalog to 85 commands in five areas and keeps every answer short.

- The catalog lists names and descriptions only. With a query (an
  area or command names) it adds the arguments. All schemas at once
  would pass the 60 000 character limit of one answer.
- add_port points a Variables node at a variable. The port takes the
  variable's kind, and an unknown name is refused with the list of
  the ones that exist.
- add_group and add_comment take nodes instead of coordinates. They
  follow the nodes after the arrange step, in the same undo step.
- The rule for which list a port picks from moved into portChoices.ts.
  Inspector and agent now share it.
- The frame of a group around nodes moved into annotationDrag.ts, so
  the button and the agent get the same frame.
- list_assets returns the project settings. get_asset shows the
  content of placed containers with the ids overrides need. get_graph
  shows declared ports and frame colors.
- A new node is placed at the height of its port, in the free spot
  whose links cross the fewest others. A source goes left of the node
  it feeds. Before, new nodes always went right of the rest.
- Arrange breaks a tie in crossings by putting the flow on top, and
  exec links pull harder when a column is sorted.
- A comment over a group keeps clear of the group's title bar.
- The agent's instructions and lint_graph ask to look at crossings
  too and to call arrange_graph when there are more than needed.

Left out on purpose: file assets (no upload), paste from the
clipboard, internal wrapper commands and switching plugins on.

Found on the way:
- Variable commands on a Struct asset did not run through
  WithStructTypes. New fields did not reach variables of that type.
- A query "variables" also matched set_variables_scope. A word that
  names an area now means only that area.

Tests:
- agent-catalog (new, 10), agent-edit, graph-arrange (3 new) and
  relay green. 11 bends of the code, all red.
- e2e 71 on atx: 22/22, the new check sees port speed and a group
  around all 4 drawn nodes.
- Live on a test project: a speed variable of 300 moved the player
  to x 150.03 in 0.5 s. A re-placed Variables node landed below Axis
  input with 4 crossings instead of 7.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 1943539a7a Let the agent play the game and read its state through MCP (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m7s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 18m44s
An agent could build a game object but not see whether it works. It
had to ask the user to press the keys. Now it can play the game in the
editor itself, send keys and mouse input and read what happened.

- play_input sends steps into the running game: hold or tap a key,
  keep it down or let it go, click, press, release or move the mouse,
  turn the wheel, wait. Holding and waiting count game seconds.
- A mouse target is a point in world units or an object by id or
  name. A click on an object reports whether it landed on it.
- The answer names the game time used, the keys still held, the mouse
  and the new console lines.
- One tool instead of press_keys and pointer from the plan. A step
  list can then mix both, like holding Shift during a click.
- get_runtime reads the running game: objects with id, type and
  position, the own variables of their behaviors, the Variables
  assets, the camera, keys, mouse and the console. Named objects come
  with all their properties.
- A hidden editor tab gets no frames. play_input says so at once. If
  game time stands still for 25 s it stops, names the step and lets
  go of every key it held.
- get_view and play say when the scene has no active camera. The
  first agent test missed that and only saw it on a screenshot.
- The relay instructions tell the agent to test what it built.

Found in the live test on a real project:

- A click on an object by its name reported hit false. The hit test
  looked the target up by id only.
- get_runtime listed the built-in switches of a behavior (enabled,
  runInEditor) as its variables.

Tests:
- agent-play (new), agent-edit, agent-view, relay green.
- 5 counter-checks red: hold counts one frame, key never released,
  click ignores the object, hidden tab not refused, no variable
  filter.
- e2e 71: 21/21. The agent holds ArrowLeft 0.5 s (x -120 to -270)
  and clicks the object (hit true).
- Gate: CHECK EXIT 0, 319 files, 4944 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 97e0d93168 Let the editor follow the agent's edits on screen (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 4m45s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Failing after 18m0s
The user asked to see what the agent is working on through MCP. Until
now the agent had to call open for that, and mostly did not.

- After run_commands the editor shows what the call worked on last. A
  graph opens its tab with the touched nodes selected, deleted ones
  left out. A scene or container shows with its objects selected. Any
  other asset shows in the inspector.
- Objects in another scene switch the scene inside the same undo step.
  A switch of its own would be its own step, and Ctrl+Z would take back
  the switch before the agent's edit.
- A graph tab that is open already moves its camera after the nodes.
  It stays put while they are in view, moves only as far as needed with
  the zoom kept, and frames them like Fit only when they do not fit.
  This is revealBoxes in framing.ts and the state's reveal event.
- A tab that has just opened frames itself first and moves after that.
- The account menu has "Follow agent" below "Agent", on by default and
  kept in the browser. While the game plays the editor never follows.
- The run_commands description and the relay's instructions tell the
  agent about it.

Tests:
- agent-edit.test.ts: 3 new tests, each red with its bent-back fix
  (scene switch outside the undo step, deleted nodes selected, switch
  ignored)
- graph-framing.test.ts 29/29, 6 of them new
- e2e 71 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 20 checks. 71g4 adds a node
  3000 px to the right of an open tab: it ends 24 px inside the edge,
  zoom still 1
- Tried live on a test project through a real MCP session: the tab
  opened, the nodes and the object were selected. With the old build
  a far node stayed out of view, after the reload the camera went there

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 732989a452 Keep Fit inside the song tab's header again (#429)
Suite 719 for 0dd671e was red in e2e 65. The Arrange button that came
with b9d1602 sits in every graph tab's header, the song's too. There it
pushed Bake and Fit past the right edge of the tab. The Fit click hit
nothing, the last track stayed below the edge, and its head menu with
"Add track below" never opened.

- The song tab shows Arrange with its routing only. On the timeline it
  was greyed out and of no use anyway.
- SnapToggle.setArrangeShown hides the button and lays its header out
  again, so the timeline's header is as wide as before #429.
- The magnet stays where it was, greyed out on the timeline, as e2e 65
  expects.

The other red check in suite 719, e2e 34 "the pause holds the stream",
is the wobble left open in 5b9d084 (task 712). Its message now shows
the stream behind before the pause already (skipped 12950), so the
pause did not lose its place. On melektaus-atx it passed.

Tests:
- snap-toggle.test.ts 6/6, the new test is red without the relayout
- e2e 65 on melektaus-atx: red before (same error as in CI), now
  ALL PASSED, 59 checks

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 b9d1602b94 Arrange graph nodes for the agent and with a button (#429)
An agent that built a graph through MCP left every new node in one
row. In the first real test that put nine nodes on a line 2080 px
long, with the Owner's links running straight through all the others.
Placing nodes by hand cost nine move_node calls and guessed heights.
The agent now gives no coordinates, and the editor lays the nodes out.

- arrange.ts is a pure function. It puts the flow into columns from
  left to right and sets an Owner or Get right before the first node
  it feeds. It orders each column for the fewest crossings and lines
  nodes up by their linked ports without overlaps.
- Node sizes come from the drawn NodeView in the browser and from an
  estimate in unit tests. Both share the constants in nodeBox.ts.
- run_commands arranges the nodes that came without x and y when the
  call ends, inside the same undo step. Nodes that were there stay.
- New command arrange_graph and new tool lint_graph. The lint counts
  overlaps, crossings, links through foreign nodes, backward links
  and the longest links, with example ids.
- The relay instructions tell the agent not to give coordinates and
  to fetch far values with a second Get or Owner node.
- An Arrange button next to the snap magnet in all eight graph tabs.
  It arranges the selected nodes, or all of them, as one undo step.

Found while testing on a real project:

- lint_graph missed a crossing where two links swap rows exactly
  mirrored. Both curves then share a sample point in the middle, and
  only a crossing between two sample points was counted. Links that
  meet on a point count now (segmentsMeet).
- The Arrow-key graph with one Owner for four Moves cannot get below
  8 crossings. The Owner feeds object in row 2 of Move, between exec
  and dt of the key, so it always crosses one of them.

Tests:
- graph-arrange, agent-edit, snap-toggle: 33/33. The swapped-rows
  test was red before the fix (0 instead of 1).
- Four counter-checks that bend arrange or the edit plan, all red.
- e2e 71 on melektaus-atx: 18/18. Lint after the build shows 0
  overlaps, 0 links through nodes, 0 backward. Arrange takes a
  tangled graph from 3 backward links and 2 crossings to 0, and one
  Ctrl+Z restores it.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 318 files, 4917 tests,
  measured before the lint fix.
- Live through MCP on the user's project: lint_graph reports 8
  crossings after Arrange, matching the screenshot.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 25af064249 Let an AI agent read and edit the open project through MCP (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 4m40s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 18m43s
Stage 2 of #429. Until now an agent could only look at the editor.
Now it reads the project and changes it through the same commands
the user's own edits run, so every change shows up live and one
Ctrl+Z takes back a whole agent call.

- Read tools: list_assets, get_asset, get_graph and catalog. The
  catalog lists the commands with their arguments, the nodes of a
  graph from the same palette the user sees, asset types and
  variable kinds.
- run_commands runs its steps as one undo step named "Agent: ...".
  A failing step rolls back the steps before it. The answer names
  the step and the reason the editor gave.
- A step can name what it made ("as") and later steps use "$name".
  Each step is built after the one before has run, so one call can
  make a behavior and fill it.
- 23 commands cover assets, variables, scene objects and graphs.
  Textures, fonts, sounds and videos need a file and are left out.
- open, select, play and undo/redo drive the editor.
- Deleting asks the user with the same text as their own delete.
  The tab sends "wait", and the relay then gives the call 2 minutes
  instead of 30 seconds.
- tools.json is the only source of the argument schemas. argCheck
  checks every call against them before anything runs.
- An open menu now names its first entries in get_view, instead of
  an empty title.
- The new host functions live in editorToolHost.ts, so Editor.ts
  does not grow further.

Found while testing: e2e 71 hung for 30 s in Page.navigate after a
failure. The beforeunload guard of an unsaved project held the page
and hid the real error. The module now reports the error first and
waits for the save before it navigates.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 317 files, 4903 tests.
- agent-edit 14/14, agent-view 10/10, relay 24/24.
- e2e 71 16/16 on atx and against the live site. One call builds a
  sprite with an arrow-key behavior, play moves it from x 0 to -125,
  and one undo restores the assets exactly.
- Counter-checks turned red: no rollback, a partial undo, no delete
  question, a relay that ignores "wait".

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 48ec722660 Let an AI agent see the open editor through MCP (#429)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m41s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Successful in 18m44s
Claude Code should be able to work inside the user's open editor tab.
This first stage connects the two and lets the agent look: what the
user sees and a picture of it. Changing the project comes in stage 2.

- An agent token per account opens only /mcp, no API route. The
  dialog "Agent tokens..." in the account menu creates it once, shows
  the ready "claude mcp add" line and revokes it. The server keeps
  only its sha256 (api/lib/AgentTokens.php).
- Wrong tokens count into the sign-in brake from #427. Changing the
  password, renaming or deleting an account ends its tokens.
- The relay (tools/mcp/) is a small Node service without packages,
  WebSocket server included. It runs in the container feuerwerk-mcp
  because PHP-FPM cannot hold connections. Whether a token or a tab
  ticket is valid is still decided by the PHP API, through two routes
  that answer only with the relay key.
- The tab joins over WebSocket on the same origin with the normal
  session, an Origin check and a one-time ticket. It connects only
  after "Agent" is switched on in the account menu. One tab per
  account is active, a new one takes over. Guests get nothing.
- Tools: get_view (project, tab, document, selection with names,
  camera, play state, open dialog) and screenshot. The resource
  feuerwerk://view can be subscribed. Claude Code does not act on
  that reliably, so a changed view is also noted on the next answer.
- A badge next to the account menu shows the connected agents. It
  counts only agents with an open stream or a request in the last
  two minutes.
- CI starts the relay in front of php -S (tools/ci/serve.sh), and
  e2e 71 runs the whole path in the browser.

Found on the live test: the badge showed four agents because old
sessions of revoked tokens were still counted.

Tests:
- Gate on atx: 316 files, 4888 tests
- relay protocol test with fake API and fake tabs: 23/23
- get_view, tools, socketUrl: 16/16
- PHP agents 29, rights 103 checks
- e2e 71 on atx 10/10, against the live site 10/10, no CSP violation
- real Claude Code against the live site: get_view answered
- ZAP against /mcp: nothing at High or Medium
- every new check fails when the guard it covers is taken out (6)

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0701fe3856 Share the parts the sound devices and timelines repeated (#85)
feuerwerk / gate (push) Successful in 5m5s
feuerwerk / suite (push) Failing after 18m39s
Round 12 of the clean-up. Duplicate code had grown from 33 clones
(249 lines) after round 11 to 140 clones (1263 lines), almost all of
it in the panels and faces of the sound FX devices (#379 to #401).
It is down to 57 clones (416 lines) now, and src is 816 lines
shorter.

- deviceParts.ts holds what the device panels built by hand: the
  head, rows of knobs, the screen style and the row layout for
  groups of knobs. Twelve panels use it. panel.knobs stays because
  the debug hooks read it.
- DeviceFace is the base of the twelve faces. It finds the node and
  does wired, preview, commit, set, hide, reload and audition.
  compressorWired lives there as paramWired.
- TextPool replaces ten copies of "make texts as needed, hide the
  rest" in the wave and video tabs, the rulers, the piano roll and
  the song and composition timelines. clipStrip.ts is the clip label
  strip the wave and video tabs share.
- core/util/bytes.ts has the concat that ogg, matroska and avcColour
  each wrote out.
- Dead code is gone: clear on the video players (never called since
  #402), posterFileOf and videoTimeAt (only tests called them) and
  easeOut (the same as glide(t, 3)). Values only used in their own
  file lose their export.
- Comments over 125 columns are wrapped, and comments that told the
  history ("as before", "used to") say what is, in src and in the
  e2e modules.
- Left alone on purpose: AnimationEditor and CompositionEditor share
  only the play button, and the curve panels are built differently.
- Chip now places its boxes through put, which rounds. They were
  whole numbers already. The three row layouts are byte-identical
  before and after.
- README lists the video and composition assets and the Videos and
  Compositions pages.

Tests:
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 313 files, 4835 tests.
- e2e 25, 34, 64, 65, 66, 69 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 330 checks.
- TextPool without keeping its texts and framesToRoom without making
  room both go red.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 043c224cc3 Rename Game Maker to Feuerwerk and serve it at /feuerwerk/ (#422)
The editor gets a name of its own that fits beside Brandmauer,
Glutspeicher and Feuerwehr. This is stage 1, 2 and 4 of #422: the
name, the URL and the stored state in the browser. Repository, CI
runners, containers and the GAME_MAKER_* variables follow in stage 3.

- All paths come from SITE_PATH in src/core/site.ts: the API endpoint,
  the data folders, the play page and the base in vite.config.ts. A
  later move is one line instead of fifteen.
- The window title, the sign-in screen, the playground and the README
  say Feuerwerk. The package, __feuerwerkPlay, the take worklet and the
  writing app in Ogg and Matroska follow.
- The session cookie is now feuerwerk_session, so everyone signs in
  once more.
- localStorage keys are now feuerwerk.*. moveOldStoredKeys copies the
  old game-maker.* keys over on the first start, so settings, panel
  sizes and save games survive.
- tools/ci/serve.sh serves the build under /feuerwerk/. The variable
  GAME_MAKER_BASE_URL keeps its name until stage 3.

Outside the repository, nockal.com/feuerwerk/ is a second symlink to
the same tree. nginx sends the bare /game-maker/ folder there with a
301. Everything else under /game-maker/ is still served directly, so
shared play links and the API keep working.

Finding: when nginx redirects a path without a trailing slash or with
a query, the Brandmauer answers with its own 307 to the same URL plus
a slash, placed after the query. A play link would lose its token that
way, which is why only the bare folder is redirected.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 307 files, 4756 tests
  (4 new in site.test.ts).
- Counter-check: when the migration misses the old prefix, 3 of the
  4 new tests fail.
- e2e 60 under /feuerwerk/: ALL PASSED, 20 checks.
- From outside: /feuerwerk/ 200, /game-maker/ 301, an old play
  link 200.

game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m28s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 18m13s
An animation with more rows than the panel is tall cut the bottom rows
off. There was no way to reach them, their fields or their keys.

- The view has a new `scrollY`. Rows scroll up under the ruler, which
  stays where it is together with the tab head.
- The wheel over the header column scrolls the rows. Over the cells it
  still zooms, and `Shift`+wheel still scrolls across.
- A scrollbar at the right edge shows up only when the rows do not
  fit. Its thumb can be dragged, a click beside it jumps there.
- The middle button pans both ways. `Shift`+drag stays across only.
- A row picked or added out of view is scrolled just far enough to be
  seen whole. Value fields out of view are not drawn.
- The tab keeps its scroll like its zoom when switching.

Found on the way: `zoomCells` built a new view from `panX` and
`cellWidth` only, so every zoom would have dropped the scroll. The
type check caught it, and a unit test now holds it.

Tests:
- tsc, eslint, Prettier clean
- Unit timeline-view: 20 green, 6 new. Bending `rowAt` to ignore the
  scroll or `revealRow` to do nothing turns exactly those tests red.
- e2e 25 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 37 checks (25j, 25j-ii new).
  32 rows, the wheel brings the last field into view and typing keys
  77 there. Dragging the thumb up goes back to 0.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: green, 305 files, 4730 tests.
- Not checked in the browser: the middle button, revealing a picked
  row, the wheel right over a value field.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 d4fc425233 Draw the editor's mouse pointer from SVG files, on screen too
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m19s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 17m35s
The pointer drawn into an editor recording lived as paths in code, so
it could not be looked at or edited by hand. The shapes are now SVG
files, and the editor can show the same pointer on screen, so what is
recorded is what was seen.

- src/core/recording/cursors/ holds one file per shape: arrow, hand,
  open-hand, fist, move, crosshair, text and resize. Resize is turned
  for the vertical and diagonal directions.
- data-hot="x y" on the <svg> is the hotspot in viewBox units. Width
  and height in the file are ignored, and anything before <svg>, such
  as <?xml ...> from a drawing program, is cut off.
- The open hand had six fingers. It has a thumb and four now, the
  middle one longest.
- CURSOR_SIZE = 0.8 scales every pointer the same on screen and in a
  recording, so the files keep their units.
- General settings has "Custom mouse pointer", on by default. It hangs
  the files into Pixi's cursorStyles as CSS cursors with the keyword as
  fallback, so the system still draws the pointer and the canvas does
  not. Off gives Pixi's own values back at once.
- A recording draws the pointer from the same files at its own size,
  so it stays sharp in 4K. It still reads the shape from the canvas
  when that holds a url(...) cursor.

Tests:
- Unit recording and view-tween: 3 new, green. They read viewBox and
  data-hot in an edited form, the boxes of turned shapes, the default
  size and old settings without the switch. Red without data-hot and
  without cutting before <svg>.
- e2e 46i-ii: the canvas cursor is a url(...) ending in default and
  the image loads. Off gives inherit and stores false, on brings the
  file back. Red without useCursorFiles.
- e2e 67e: the recording is still black at the mouse position.
- The README names 2046 e2e checks.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 304 files, 4702 tests green.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0334d2508d Place compositions in scenes and play them from behaviors (#417)
A composition can now sit in a scene like a container and play there.
Its items become real objects while they run, so behaviors, colliders
and events work on them as on any other object.

- A composition is placeable with its own symbol, transform and render
  layer. The scene view shows its picture at frame 0. A click on that
  picture selects the placement, not a single item.
- CompositionSystem spawns each item as an object under the placement
  when it begins, with the id <placement>~<item>. On start and the
  other events run. The object is destroyed when the item ends.
- The top track lies in front no matter which item started first.
  World.arrange() orders the entity list and the scene objects.
- Clips and driven videos follow the same rules as compositionAt().
  Loop, restart, stop and the game pause work.
- New nodes: Play composition (with restart), Stop composition and the
  event On composition finished. They were planned for step 4 but come
  now, because without autoplay nothing could play otherwise.
- The editor run ignores Play composition and says so in the log. It
  writes into the saved project, and the items would stay behind.
- contentId() moved to instance.ts. The animation system uses it for
  nested ids too.
- Compositions get no "Sort with parent" for now.

Tests: the gate passed with 301 files and 4643 tests, 18 more than
step 1. 13 of them are in tests/core/composition-play.test.ts. The
first gate run failed in event-order.test.ts, which counts the event
nodes and now finds 19. Five counter-checks each turned exactly their
test red. Two order tests stayed green without the fix at first and
were rebuilt. e2e 68 is new and passed with 5 own checks. Its
counter-check without arrange() failed as expected.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 597367c804 Keep a transition's pace through new steps and pans (#309)
A wheel step in the middle of a transition restarted the ease-out
curve at full speed, so a run of quick steps kicked at each one.
A pan called finish() first and made the zoom jump to its target.
Both made the zoom and the gliding lists feel jerky.

- A new step starts from the speed the view already has and then
  eases out. Quick steps in one direction move in one stroke. A step
  the other way still starts from rest.
- A pan takes the transition along. The zoom goes on while dragging
  and lands where it was heading, moved by the pan. This covers all
  eight pan places: scene and container, graph, plugin board,
  texture and pixel art, timeline, pattern, song and sound.
- finish() is gone, it has no callers left. Dragging the scrollbar,
  a jump to a row, another document or a new view size still end
  the transition as before.

Found: on a second step the old curve jumped to 2.47 times the
speed the view had just before.

Tests:
- npm run check on stein2: 299 files, 4598 tests (5 new)

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 be41b1f0d7 Glide the asset and object lists and scroll past their end (#309)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m21s
game-maker / suite (push) Canceled after 8m42s
The asset panel stopped with its last group flush on the bottom edge,
and both lists on the left jumped on every wheel step while the tabs
next to them already zoom with a transition.

- ScrollContainer gets tailSpace, empty room always kept below the
  content. Content that fits only without it scrolls by the rest. The
  content is made that much taller, so clicks and the context menu on
  that room work as on any empty part of the list.
- The asset panel keeps six rows of it. The other lists keep none.
- ScrollContainer gets wheelStep, which by default scrolls at once.
- scrollTween() in viewTween.ts hands the wheel step to an axisTween.
  The duration is the zoom transition's from the General settings,
  quick steps add up and stop at the end of the list, and dragging the
  bar or a jump to a row ends the glide where it stands.
- Only the asset panel and Scene objects use it. Inspector, menus and
  the console still jump.
- Wiki: Concepts describes the glide and the room below the assets.

Not checked in the browser by me. The user picked the six rows and
asked for the glide after trying the room below the list.

Tests:
- Unit scroll-container: 10 tests (3 new for tailSpace).
- Unit view-tween: 4 new with a fake clock (glide lands on target,
  quick steps add up and stop at the end, a jump ends it, 0 ms jumps).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 8679dfbe65 Group timeline rows by object and edit values in the row (#408)
The rows of the animation timeline stood in the order they were keyed.
With several objects and properties the list was hard to read, and a
value could only be changed by picking a key and using the inspector.
The Play button also kept saying Pause after scrubbing had paused.

- Each object gets a header row with its name, indented by depth. The
  groups follow the scene hierarchy, the root first. Rows whose object
  is missing go to the end.
- Under an object the rows follow the order in which it lists its
  properties: X, Y, Z, then the order of the inspector. Only the view
  is sorted, the animation itself is unchanged and there is no undo
  step. After a move in the hierarchy the order is right by itself.
- The row head shows the same field as the inspector with the value at
  the playhead. Without keys it shows the value of the object, for a
  relative row the offset.
- A change in that field sets or changes the key at the playhead,
  selects it and is one undo step. A running playback pauses first.
- The Play/Pause button follows every change of the playing state, so
  scrubbing that pauses shows Play again.

Tests:
- Unit animation + timeline-view: 100 passed, 3 new.
- e2e 25 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 34 checks, 3 new (groups,
  order and values at frame 4, a typed 55 becomes a selected key on

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 774207208c Key a video to its end at 1x and zoom the timeline further out (#407)
To play a clip at its real speed the user had to know its length,
work out the last whole frame by hand and then scroll far to the
right to set the end key. The timeline now does the sum, and it
zooms out far enough to see a long clip in one piece.

- The context menu of a Video time row gets "Video at 1x to its end
  from frame N". It keys the playhead with the row's value there and
  the last whole frame before the clip ends with the matching time.
- The start key turns linear and keys in between are removed. The
  whole run is one undo step (KeyStraightRunCommand).
- The clip is the one the sprite wears at the playhead, also when
  the texture is keyed in the same animation (rowVideoAt).
- The entry is greyed out for relative rows, without a video, while
  the length is unknown, or when the playhead is already at the end.
- The status line names the result, e.g. "frame 572 shows 57.2 s of
  57.27 s".
- The timeline zooms out to 0.02 px per frame instead of 4 px. The
  ruler labels follow a 1-2-5 step without an upper limit.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 ce933a4f32 Let a drag change only the picked clip in the Sound and Video tab (#403)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m15s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 15m40s
A drag with a clip picked could span a new clip in the strip or span
the picked one anew over the wave. Both happened by accident while
working on a clip. Now a drag only makes a new clip while none is
picked. With one picked it moves its edges or the whole of it.

- With no clip picked, a drag in the strip or over the wave (in the
  Video tab the track) spans a new clip, as before.
- A click over the wave or in the track picks the clip at that point,
  as a click on its band does. Beside the clips it picks the sound or
  the video. The picked clip wins where clips lie over each other.
- With a clip picked, its handles move its edges as before. A drag on
  its band in the strip moves the whole clip, its length kept and
  inside the file. Any other drag does nothing.
- The rules live in waveView.ts (clipGrip, clipToPick, movedSpan) and
  both tabs use them. The cursor shows grab over the picked band.
- The Video tab's track draws the clips not picked faint, as the wave
  does, so a click there has something to aim at.

Tests:
- Unit wave-view.test.ts: 16 tests (4 new)

  one again fails the picked-clip rule test

game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m13s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 16m5s
The round screen of the Reverb stood still. It now moves, only for
the look of it, and says nothing it did not say before.

- The sound rings out again and again in real time. The dot in the
  middle flashes, and a thin front runs out over the rings as fast as
  the tail does. It fades as the tail falls, then 0.8 s of quiet.
- A reflection lights up for a moment once the front has passed it.
- The reflections turn slowly round the dot, each at its own pace and
  way (at most 0.16 rad/s). They sway 1.5 px in and out and twinkle.
  Their drift comes from a noise of its own, so they sit where they
  always did.
- Rings, grid and dashed end stay one drawing. Only the dots, the
  front and the flash are drawn again each frame.
- Nothing moves without a tail to see: no sound picked, or wet at 0.

game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m14s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 16m49s
The Sample was the last node of an instrument that still showed rows.
It now draws the sound or clip it plays, so the loop and what plays
after the note can be seen instead of read off two numbers.

- SamplePanel, SampleFace and sampleView: a compact gold plate of
  480x280 with the sound picker beside the name, a waveform screen,
  the four ways of playing it as buttons two by two, the root as a
  knob that reads as a note, a lever for following the note and the
  loop's start above its end.
- The waveform comes from the library's peaks of the played sound,
  a clip's own cut included, scaled by the sound's volume. It is
  loaded on demand as the Reverb's sound is.
- Each part has its colour: played once, looped, played after the
  note, never heard. The loop is held as playback holds it: an end
  of 0 or past the sound is the end, a start not before it loops
  all of it.
- Idle settings come from the node's own idleParams, so the device
  greys out what the rows did.
- A new instrument places its Output at x 840, past the device.
  At 460 it lay under the Sample.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 a6c00f7b8b Show a Bitcrusher node as a device that draws its pixels (#399)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m11s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 15m21s
A Bitcrusher only said what it does in rows of numbers. How coarse
its steps and holds are could not be seen. Now the node is a device
of its own size. Its screen sends a sine through the node's own crush
and draws what comes out in cells, as tall as a step and as wide as a
hold, so the coarser the crush, the coarser the picture.

- CrusherPanel draws a 680x280 plate in bubblegum pink. Bits and rate
  are large knobs, wet is small. Rate gives its low end more of the
  turn, 8 kHz sits just past the middle.
- crushTrace runs a 440 Hz sine at 0 dBFS through Crusher at 48 kHz
  and blends it as the worklet does. Where each hold starts comes from
  Crusher too: a ramp through it at 16 bits takes a new value per hold.
- cellOf shapes a hold. From 5 px a step or hold gets a grid line and
  a gap. Finer steps give a 2 px bar. A cell is never more than twice
  as tall as wide, so 1 bit gives bars at -1, 0 and 1.
- The screen shows two periods, or 6 holds where the rate is low. The
  sine going in is a grey ghost. Below wet 1 the heard line lies over
  the cells.
- Above the screen a word for how crushed it is, CLEAN to BROKEN.
  Under it the noise the bits leave and where the rate folds back.
- 16 lamps show the bits kept, the highest on the left. A CRUSH lamp
  beside the name glows the more it crushes.
- COLUMNS_OF gives the Bitcrusher 4 columns in the presets.
- Hook __gm.bitcrusher.panel(id) for the sound FX and instrument
  graphs.

Decided myself:

- The screen is still. Nothing on it moves, so tick() says false.
- How crushed counts whichever of bits or rate takes more, the rate in
  octaves, times wet.

Found: at 8 kHz the first hold is 7 samples long, the rest 6. Six
sixths add up to just under 1 in Crusher. The worklet does the same,
so the screen shows what is heard.

Every sfxr effect preset ends in a Bitcrusher and gets 3 columns
wider. The Laser preset still fits whole on Fit.

Tests:
- Unit: crusher-view 13 tests (new). The screen matches Crusher with
  its wet on three settings.
- Counter-test: without the wet in the blend the worklet test fails.
- e2e 34: ALL PASSED, 143 checks (1 new).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 b145e1f288 Draw the Flanger's comb as a thin line with a fading trail (#398)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m8s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 16m2s
The comb was still drawn too heavy. Each frame showed the whole band
the comb had swept over the last 1/20 s, edged by two lines 1.5 wide,
and the faster the delay moved, the thicker that band got.

- flangerLine draws the comb where the light is as one line, 1 wide.
  It runs through the ends of each column and the peaks and notches
  in it, where they are. A comb finer than a column zigzags over it.
- Behind the line a faint trail shows what the comb swept over the
  last 1/20 s, and over the last 1/40 s once more, so it fades with
  age. A Flanger that stands still has none.
- The line fades out where its teeth move more than a quarter of a
  tooth within the trail (clearAt), and is gone from half a tooth on.
  There only the calm band of the trail is left, so nothing flickers.
- responseFrame gives the screen the line, how clear each point is,
  the sharp columns for the notches and the trail. It replaces
  responseColumnsOf, and RESPONSE_BLUR is now RESPONSE_TRAIL.
- The notches are counted on the sharp comb again, not on the band.
- The Phaser's response is drawn as the same thin line, without a
  trail.

Tests:
  Unit modulation-view (stein2): 26 tests, 2 new. The line holds the
    comb's dB at each point and every notch. On a fast swing it fades
    out over 8 kHz, stays clear under 1 kHz, and the trail is the same
    band over 16 kHz in three frames. A still Flanger has no trail.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 f9a953f3d3 Keep the Flanger's comb calm and smooth where its teeth crowd (#398)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m24s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 16m35s
High up the Flanger's comb flickered and looked pixelated. Each column
of its screen took six readings, and its teeth pass there faster than
frames are drawn, up to 0.4 of a tooth a frame at 15 kHz by default.
Each frame caught other teeth, and each column was drawn as a sharp
rectangle.

- flangerColumns reckons each column exactly. The response only hangs
  on the phase, and between two multiples of pi it runs one way. So a
  column holds its lowest and highest at its ends or on the peaks and
  notches inside it.
- Each frame is blurred over the delays of the last 1/20 s
  (RESPONSE_BLUR), about what an eye blends. Where teeth pass faster
  than that, they become a calm band from the deepest notch to the
  highest peak. Further down, where they can be followed, they stay
  sharp and move.
- The response is drawn as a band between two smooth lines through
  the columns, no longer as one rectangle per column.
- responseColumnsOf picks the Phaser's readings or the Flanger's exact
  columns. responseDb had no caller left and is gone.

Measured before choosing the blur, as the mean change of a column from
one frame to the next on the default Flanger (2-5 / 5-10 / 10-20 kHz):

  readings as before   5.6 / 10.6 / 14.3 dB
  exact, no blur       5.5 / 10.2 / 12.9 dB
  exact, 1/60 s        5.0 /  7.6 /  4.0 dB
  exact, 1/20 s        3.9 /  2.6 /  0.04 dB

Under 5 kHz most of what is left is the teeth really moving.

Tests:
  Unit modulation-view (stein2): 24 tests, 2 new. The exact columns
    hold what 4000 readings a column find there, and a fast swing
    leaves the same band over 16 kHz in three frames in a row.
  Counter-check: without the peaks and notches inside a column, both
    new tests fail.

  Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 291 files, 4469 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 b6749cc43d Show Tremolo, Vibrato, Phaser and Flanger as devices that swing (#398)
The four effects that swing were still drawn as rows of numbers. Like
the Delay, the Saturation and the Limiter, each node now shows a device
of a fixed size. Its screen draws what it does over the first seconds
of a sound, and a light plays that in real time, over and over.

- One device for all four (ModulationPanel, ModulationFace and
  modulationView), as KnobPanel is for Gain, Pitch, Mix and Pan. A short
  description gives each its title, plate, buttons and knobs.
- Tremolo, 640x280 in cream: a wave its volume shapes, the volume as
  its outline. It says DOWN TO 50%, EVERY 200 ms and DIPS -6 dB.
- Vibrato, 640x280 in plum: the pitch in semitones, cool below and warm
  above. Under a wet below 1 the dry pitch stands beside it. It says
  how late the voice is (LATE 0.93 ms).
- Phaser, 760x280 in mustard, and Flanger, 680x280 in steel blue: the
  response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and under it a lane of the turn or the
  delay over time. The response is drawn where the light is, so the
  notches swirl and the comb jets. A comb finer than a column fills it.
- The light loops over 1, 2, 4 or 8 s, two LFO swings at least, for a
  Flanger as long as its sweep takes to reach 20 ms. The face only
  keeps the editor drawing while something swings and is heard.
- A Rate lamp beside each name goes from dark to lit with the swing.
- Nothing is listened to. The pictures use the worklets' own numbers:
  lfoAt, vibratoSpeedUp (now exported from lfo.ts), the allpass chain
  with its feedback, and the comb, reckoned at 48 kHz.
- Phaser and Flanger take 4 preset columns. Phased Pad was looked at
  in a picture, nothing overlaps.
- Exported from nodes.ts: LFO_SHAPE, lfoShapeOf, TREMOLO_ROWS,
  VIBRATO_ROWS, PHASER_STAGE_ROW and phaserStagesOf. FLANGER_MAX_MS is
  exported from phaser.ts.

Decided here, as the request left the look open:

- A notch counts where the response falls below -3 dB, not some dB
  under the loudest point. Feedback rings peaks far above 0 dB, and the
  first rule counted 7 notches on a Phaser of 12 stages.
- Rate and Depth of Tremolo and Vibrato are big knobs, Wet is small.

Tests:
  Unit modulation-view (stein2): 22 tests, new. Phaser and Flanger
    give the dB of their worklets on a sine within 0.005 dB, the
    Tremolo its samples, the Vibrato the pitch it reads at.
  Counter-check: with the sign of the Phaser's feedback flipped in one
    place, exactly the worklet test fails.
  e2e 34 (atx): ALL PASSED, 142 checks, 4 new. Each device has its
    size, its ports outside, a light that runs by itself, and a button
    and a knob as one undo step each. Picking 8 stages on the Phaser

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 28909f0adf Show a Limiter node as a device that holds what it took away (#397)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m23s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 16m6s
A Limiter only said what it does in rows of numbers. How much it took
away, and when, could not be seen at all, and a short sound is over
before any needle could show it. Now the node is a device of its own
size, and its screen catches the reduction from the moment a sound
starts and holds it once the sound ends.

- LimiterPanel draws a 720x280 plate of brushed brick. The threshold
  knob is large, ceiling and release are small beside it, auto-gain is
  a lever. A LIMIT lamp lights while it takes something away.
- The screen hangs the reduction down from the top, 0 to 24 dB by the
  square root like the Compressor's meter. The level coming in runs
  along the bottom, orange above the limit. Time runs from the start
  of the sound over 1, 2, 4 or 8 s, and a longer sound rolls.
- ReductionCapture in limiterView holds the capture after 0.4 s of
  silence, without the silence, until the next sound. It writes the
  most taken away and when, and NOW or LASTED on the right.
- The Limiter is tapped now, like the Compressor. The face reads the
  loudest sample since the last frame on both sides.
- SpectrumTaps.levels takes a lateBy. The side in front is read 5 ms
  earlier, so a peak going in is met by what it became.
- limiterReduction leaves the auto-gain out and solves Wet's blend for
  the limited part. Less than 0.2 dB counts as none.
- A capture is also held when the node leaves the picture. Changing a
  knob or the lever leaves it as it is.
- Hook __gm.limiter.panel(id) for the sound FX and instrument graphs.

Decided myself:

- The capture stays held until the next sound, not for a fixed time.
- The screen has no wet knob, as the Compressor's has none.
- The Limiter's two taps cost two gains of 1 per voice. The analysers
  only exist while the node is in the picture.

Measured on stein2: the seeded blip at -4.4 dBFS against -12 dB showed
7.56 dB. Three hits at 0, -8 and -2 dBFS showed 11.9 dB at the first.
In e2e 34 on melektaus-atx, -10.44 dBFS in against -20 dB showed
9.56 dB, the difference to the hundredth.

Tests:
- Unit: limiter-view 13 tests (new), spectrum 6 (1 new), soundfx 67
  with the Limiter's taps.
- Counter-test: without Wet's share in the formula the blend test
  fails.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 80b25488ce Show a Saturation node as a device that glows with its drive (#396)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m5s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 16m2s
A Saturation in the graph was a stack of rows. The user wanted a device
of its own style and size, like the Delay and the Reverb, that shows
warmth and heat the harder the sound is driven.

- The node is a copper plate of 720x280 with a button per type, the
  auto-gain lever, a big drive knob and small knobs for tone, output
  and wet. Each change is one undo step, wired numbers lock their knob.
- The screen draws a sine at -12 dBFS, the level auto-gain is reckoned
  at, as a grey ghost. Over it is the wave that comes out: bent by the
  type, its DC taken out, auto-gain and output after it, blended by
  wet. Under it stand the auto-gain and the peak.
- The heat is the drive over 48 dB, as far as wet lets it be heard.
  The wave goes from cold steel through ember red to white, a glow
  rises from below and flickers, and embers fly up from about 8 dB on.
  A lamp beside the name glows with it.
- The node keeps the editor drawing only while there is heat. Without
  drive it draws nothing, unlike the Delay, which always animates.
- The Reverb's private type button is now PickButton with its own
  colours, and the Saturation's type buttons use it as well.
- No instrument preset uses a Saturation, so no preset needs more
  columns.

Tests:
- Unit saturation-view: 14 new tests.
- Counter-check: without taking out the DC, exactly the DC test fails.
- e2e 34 (atx): ALL PASSED, 137 checks, one new for type, lever and

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 cb3183227b Keep drags at full speed in large projects (#394)
Dragging a band of a Filter or a Parametric EQ ran at about 30 fps
in a large project. Each frame of a drag announces the changed
project, and every listener of that event ran, also those whose work
nobody sees while the drag goes on.

- FramePreview marks its own frame, read through isDragFrame().
- The Scene view behind another tab skips such a frame and draws on
  coming back, as it already did while a game runs (#265).
- preloadProjectFiles skips it as well. It walks every asset and
  checks every bake, which costs milliseconds in a large project.
- The command that ends a drag emits for itself, and a drag that
  changes nothing ends with a plain preview, so both catch up then.
- This holds for every drag through FramePreview, the knobs of the
  devices in the graph included.

Measured on stein2 with a copy of a project of 162 assets, a band of
a Parametric EQ dragged at 250 pointer moves a second for 3 s:

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 d4a45c127b Show a Delay node as a device with its echoes over time (#393)
After the Chip, the Envelope, the Reverb and the one-knob devices, the
Delay is drawn as a device of its own size too. Its screen shows what
time, feedback, damping, wet and ping-pong make of a sound, and a light
runs over the echoes at the beat they come at.

- DelayPanel: a 680x280 plate in the Compressor's brushed aluminium,
  now exported as ALUMINIUM. A screen, levers for Sync and Ping-pong,
  knobs for Time, Feedback, Damping and Wet, and an Echo lamp.
- The screen draws the sound as a white bar and each echo as a bar one
  step later. A bar is as tall as the echo is loud, evenly in dB to
  -60. It turns from warm white to rust as the damping takes the highs.
  With ping-pong the bars alternate above and below, the first left.
- At most 24 bars are drawn, and the screen says how many more are
  heard. Under it stand the step and the end of the tail, above it
  where the highs of the first echo end.
- The running light: DelayFace.tick returns true while the node is in
  the picture, so the editor keeps drawing, as for the Particles tab.
  The light goes round the span in real time, a bar glows as it is
  passed, and the lamp blinks with every echo but not with the sound.
- On beats the screen counts at 120 BPM, as the tempo of the voice is
  not known in the graph. The time knob then names the note, dotted
  and triplet ones included. In seconds, 2 s and up reads "2 s max".
- delayView holds the rules apart from the drawing: layout, tapers,
  echoTrain, echoCutoff for k rounds of the Butterworth low-pass,
  sweepAt and the texts. At wet 0 the rest is drawn faint.
- delayEchoes in the core counts the echoes heard. The tail of a voice
  and the screen use it both. DELAY_ROWS, DELAY_SYNC and PING_PONG are
  exported.
- Knob.reformat writes the number anew when its format changes, here
  when Sync switches between seconds and beats.
- The test hook __gm.delay.panel returns knobs, levers, idle settings,
  the echoes drawn, the texts and where the light is.
- Instrument presets give the Delay 4 columns. Echo Lead and Bell use
  one. In the picture of Echo Lead nothing overlaps.

Found on the way: a node with a face draws no setting rows. The e2e
check of a bypassed Delay (#354) read "Bypass: true" from them. It now
checks the faded node and the stages heard, as before.

Tests:
- Unit delay-view: 17 tests, new. Counter-check: the first ping-pong
  echo on the right turns the side test red.
- e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): 136 checks, 1 new.
- Gate (melektaus-atx): 288 files, 4416 tests.
- Pictures looked at: default, ping-pong, beats with damping, 83
  echoes at 50 ms, wet 0, and the preset Echo Lead.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 389d9555fa Show a Pan node as a one-knob device in cyan (#392)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m13s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 15m23s
After the Gain, the Pitch and the Mix, the Pan is the next node that
is just one number. It now gets the same device in the graph instead
of a row for its pan.

- PAN_DEVICE: the Gain's 160x160 plate in cyan with one bipolar knob
  for Pan. The middle stands straight up, and the turn goes evenly to
  L and R, which are engraved at its ends like A and B on the Mix.
- PAN_TAPER in hardwareView is 1, so left and right are heard alike.
  Device and unit test read the same constant.
- PAN_ROW is exported from the core, so the knob has the node's range.
- A linked Pan greys the knob, as for the Gain.
- The test hook __gm.pan.panel returns the same shape as the Gain's.
- No instrument preset uses a Pan, so no preset columns change.

Tests:
- Unit hardware-view: 17 tests, 2 new (the turn, and L and R inside
  the plate and clear of the screws). Counter-check: PAN_TAPER 2
  turns the turn test red.
- e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): 135 checks, 1 new.
- Gate (melektaus-atx): 287 files, 4399 tests.
- Pictures looked at: Gain, Pitch, Mix and Pan in a row, Pan at -0.35.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 fe4e0d9f1a Snap to the grid from the start in every graph tab (#391)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m12s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 15m55s
Laying out a graph by hand mostly means lining nodes up, so the
magnet was switched on in nearly every session. Every graph tab now
starts with it lit: Behavior, State machine, Shader, Particles,
Sound FX, Instrument, the song's Routing and the Routing tab.

- SnapToggle takes the state it starts in and lights its button to
  match. GRAPH_SNAPS_AT_FIRST sets it for the toggles and for
  GraphCanvas alike, so button and canvas cannot disagree.
- Curve and Vector Art are no graphs and still start without it.
- New hook __gm.graphSnapping(on?) reads every graph tab's magnet,
  or "mixed" where button and canvas differ, and switches them all.
- The e2e harness reads the magnets after each navigate() and then
  switches them off, as it already sets the zoom transition to 0.
  Most checks drag a node to an exact spot. e2e 45 does the same
  itself, because the editor comes up there through the sign-in.
- e2e 06 checks that all eight graph tabs started with the magnet on.
  The checks in 06, 26 and 65 that read it off now say they read
  what the harness left.

Tests:
- Unit snap-toggle: 4 tests, 1 new (lit at first, nothing asked of
  the target before a click).
- e2e 06 (melektaus-atx): 150 checks, 1 new. e2e 34: 134 checks.
- Gate (melektaus-atx, together with #390): 287 files, 4397 tests.
- Pictures looked at: none, the state comes from the hook.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 e70954115c Show Pitch and Mix nodes as one-knob devices in green and blue (#390)
The Gain has been a small device with one big knob since #384. The
Pitch and the Mix are just as much a single number, so they now look
and work the same way. The Mix also gets a lever for its curve, which
until now was only a row in the inspector.

- GainPanel and GainFace become KnobPanel and KnobFace. Each node is
  described by a KnobDevice: its plate, its row, how the knob turns,
  and an optional lever. The Gain looks as before.
- Pitch: a green 160x160 plate with a bipolar knob for Semitones. 0
  stands straight up and taper 2 puts an octave at 43 % of each half,
  so small steps near 0 are easy and the full +-64 is still there.
- Mix: a blue 180x200 plate, the lever on top and the knob below.
  The knob has A and B engraved at the ends of its turn. The lever
  reads "crossfade" down and "both at center" up with its lamp lit.
  A flip is one undo step.
- A wired Semitones or Mix greys the knob, as for the Gain.
- The instrument presets give Pitch and Mix two columns. In the graph
  they are 281 and 261 units wide, more than one column of 240.
- The test hooks __gm.pitch.panel and __gm.mix.panel return the same
  shape as __gm.gain.panel, plus the lever.

Tests:
- Unit hardware-view: 15 tests, 3 new (Pitch turn, lever above the
  knob and ends on the Mix plate). Counter-check: taper 1 turns the
  Pitch test red.
- e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): 134 checks, 1 new.
- Gate (melektaus-atx, together with #391): 287 files, 4397 tests.
- Pictures looked at: Gain, Pitch and Mix in a row, Pitch at -24.5,
  Mix with both curves, the Bell preset without overlaps.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 e8021b1fd3 Show a Reverb node as a device with a round screen of its tail (#389)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m5s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 15m49s
The Compressor, the Gain, the Chip and the Envelope are devices in the
graph. The Reverb was still a list of rows, and how long and how dark
its tail rings was left to the numbers.

- The node is a plate of 640x280 in pale lavender. Its inputs are on
  the left, its output on the right.
- A round screen draws the tail as rings out from the sound. A ring's
  radius is its time, as the root of its seconds, on one scale up to
  10.5 s for every Reverb. So a Room is a small disc and a Cave fills
  two thirds.
- A ring is as bright as the tail is loud there, evenly in dB. Its
  colour is how much of the highs is left, from ice to violet, with
  the cut-off of the impulse response (reverbCutoff, now shared).
- The pre-delay is a dark gap round the dot, a dashed ring marks
  -60 dB. Seeded dots stand for the reflections. Wet fades the tail
  against the dot.
- A type of Sound draws the peaks of its sound from the library, each
  against its loudest. It says LOADING until they are there.
- A button for each type, a list of the sounds and four chrome knobs:
  Decay, Damping, Pre-delay and Wet.
- A knob the type does not take is greyed but turns. It goes over to
  Custom with the type's numbers, as one undo step. Picking a sound
  makes the type Sound, also one step.
- NodeParamDrag can write several settings as one drag for that.
- Test hook __gm.reverb.panel(nodeId), for the sound FX and the
  instrument graph.

Tests:
- Unit reverb-view: 10 new tests for the plate, the knob turn, the
  numbers per type, the scale, the tail and the texts. A screen that
  ignores damping turns the highs test red.
- e2e 34 (atx): 1 new check (device between its ports, decay knob of
  a Hall goes to Custom as one undo step, Cave button, a sound from
  the list makes it Sound and draws that sound).
- Probe pictures on stein2: Room, Hall, Cave, Plate, Custom with
  damping 1 and pre-delay 0.3 s, Sound.
- Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 287 files, 4393 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 c75e72d4ee Show an Envelope node as a device with its ADSR curve (#388)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m24s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 15m50s
The Compressor, the Gain and the Chip are devices in the graph. The
Envelope was still a list of rows, and its shape was left to the
imagination of whoever read the numbers.

- The node is a plate of 520x280 in pale sea green. Its inputs are
  on the left, out and value on the right.
- A dark screen draws the curve over a note in amber. A letter sits
  above each stage, its time below it, and the sustain in percent
  above its line.
- The time on the screen is squeezed. Each stage is as wide as the
  root of its seconds, at least 3 %, and the hold has a fixed fifth.
  So 5 ms of attack still shows beside a release of 3 s.
- The falls use SETTLE, as the player does. With sustain 0 there is
  no hold and no release, and the screen says NOTE ENDS.
- Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release are chrome knobs. The times use
  taper 4, so 5 ms sits an eighth of the way and 1 s not quite half.
- From and To have no range a knob could turn through. They are
  NumberFields on the plate, typed in or scrubbed.
- The decay at sustain 1 and From/To while nothing takes value are
  faded. While a link takes value, the bezel says what it moves
  between, as VALUE 400 TO 3500. The UI font has no arrow.
- Instrument presets give an Envelope 3 columns of 240.
- Test hook __gm.envelope.panel(nodeId).

Tests:
- Unit envelope-view: 6 new tests for the plate, the knob turn, the
  idle settings and the curve. A linear decay turns two of them red.
- e2e 34 (atx): 1 new check on the Laser preset (device between its
  ports, curve ends with the decay, decay knob and scrubbed To field
  each one undo step).
- Probe pictures on stein2: Synth Brass preset, pad, pluck, organ
  and an Envelope whose value moves a Chip.
- Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 286 files, 4383 tests. The first run was
  red on the font test (#214) for an arrow in the bezel text.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 ab37d3423a Let graphs zoom out to an eighth (#387)
With the Chip and the Filter drawn as devices, a preset such as the
Laser is about 3060 units wide. In a window of 1280 px a fit then hit
the floor of 0.25 and cut the Notes node off on the left.

- ZOOM_LIMITS.min goes from 0.25 to 0.125. The graph zooms without
  steps, so one more step is the floor halved. 0.125 is also the
  smallest step of the scene view.
- It holds for the wheel, for Fit and for the node board of plugins.
- The grid still hides itself below 8 px, so it does not flicker.

Tests:
- Unit plugins and graph-framing: 55 tests green, the floor test now
  expects 0.125.
- e2e 06 (atx): ALL PASSED, 149 checks. Only a comment that named 0.25
  changed there.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 eb78f3cbf3 Show a Chip node as a device with its wave and its pitch (#386)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m5s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 16m5s
The Chip had eleven numbers in rows and nothing that showed what they
do to a note. Its node is now a device of one size like the
Compressor's, and two screens draw the wave and the pitch from the
settings, worked right in the instrument graph.

- ChipPanel is 840x280 in the warm grey of a handheld console. A
  button per wave, the "follow note" lever and a chrome knob per
  number, grouped Oscillator, Slide, Vibrato, Arpeggio and Repeat.
- The wave screen draws two periods as loud as the Chip plays them,
  a square at its duty. toneValue and periodicSteps come out of
  chip.ts, so the screen and the worklet share one formula.
- The pitch screen draws what slide, delta slide, vibrato, arpeggio
  and repeat make of the pitch over a note. It ends where the note
  falls below "min frequency" and starts from A4 while the Chip
  follows the note.
- Idle settings are faded, wired ones greyed and locked, as the rows
  were. Every change is one undo step.
- Knobs take a bipolar range: 0 straight up, the taper bends each
  half. Slide, delta slide, duty sweep and arpeggio use it.
- The Compressor's auto-gain lever is now a Lever with a name of its
  own, which the Chip uses for "follow note".
- Presets give a Chip five columns, as a Filter has four since #385.

Found on the way:

- With the Chip this wide the Laser preset is about 3060 units. In a
  1280 px window Fit stops at the least zoom of 0.25 and cuts the
  Notes node off. The zoom limit is left as it is.

Tests:
- Unit: chip-view (9 new), knob (1 new), chip, chip-presets and
  hardware-view, 53 green
- e2e 34 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 131 checks (1 new). The
  first run was red on the check itself: a Laser's "min frequency"
  can lie above A4, and the screen then rightly says the note ends
  at once.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 285 files, 4377 tests
- Counter-check: a square drawn with its duty mirrored turns the wave

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 17f47f6956 Drop the Gain's engraved name and centre its knob (#384)
The plate was taller than its one knob needs, and the engraved
"GAIN" only repeated the node's title. Without it the plate is
square, and the knob sits in its middle.

- The plate is 160x160 instead of 160x220, without the "GAIN"
  engraving.
- The knob is centred on what it shows: the "DB" caption and the
  dial. Since #382 its number hangs inside the dial's open bottom,
  so it adds no height.
- CAPTION_AIR (4) takes out the empty space above the caption's
  capitals. Without it the knob sat a little too low.

Measured on a picture at zoom 0.8: 19 px of air above "DB" and
19 px below the number. The user's screenshot showed about 14
above and 35 below.

Tests:
- Unit hardware-view: 12 tests green. The layout test now asks
  for the same air above and below.
- e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 126 checks.
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 283 files, 4359 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 01ee61868b Show a Gain node as an orange device with one knob (#384)
A Gain node now draws a small device in the graph, as the Compressor
does since #380: the brushed plate in orange, 160x220 graph units, with
one chrome knob between its inputs and its output.

- GainPanel and GainFace join the node faces. The knob drags, resets
  on a double-click and keeps the wheel for the graph (#383). Each turn
  is one undo step, a linked Gain (dB) greys it.
- The knob turns with a taper of 0.26, so 0 dB stands straight up and
  the range below -24 dB takes a fifth of the turn.
- drawPlate, engrave and the brushed look move out of CompressorPanel
  so both devices share them. The Knob takes an arc colour, because
  the orange arc vanished on the orange plate.
- No meter and no tap. Gain sits in every voice of an instrument, and
  a tap would add two audio nodes to each note for a display nobody
  asked for.

Found on the way:
- Knob.dialGlobal added half the dial unscaled. In a zoomed graph it
  pointed beside the dial. The Compressor's e2e only hit by luck.

Tests:
- Unit: 2 new for the Gain plate and its taper.
- e2e 34 on atx: ALL PASSED, 126 checks (1 new).
- Gate on atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 283 files, 4359 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 79a04e6764 Edit a Parametric EQ in its node, let the wheel only zoom graphs (#381)
The small curve below the EQ node's rows (#375) only showed the bands.
Like the Compressor since #380, the node now shows the editor of its
tab between its inputs and its output, and is worked right there. A
double-click on the node still opens the same editor in a tab.

Two wishes for the nodes with a panel came on top and share the same
files, so they are in this commit as well: the numbers below the
Compressor's knobs read as plain labels (#382), and the wheel over a
node zooms the graph instead of turning a value (#383).

#381, the EQ in its node:
- EqPanel holds the curve, the band's numbers and the help line, taken
  out of EqEditor. The tab puts its one panel under a header, each EQ
  node has a panel of its own at 720 x 360 (EqFace).
- A press on the curve neither picks nor moves the node. A
  double-click on the curve adds a band, one on the title or the edge
  opens the tab.
- In the node a press on the Type or Slope button stays with the
  button, so the node is not picked or moved.
- The spectrum runs in the node while it is in the picture. The tab
  lets go of the tap once, like the Compressor's, and Editor.tick lets
  every unseen tab and graph go before any seen one listens.
- The count of bands moved from the tab's header into the band row,
  so the node shows it as well.
- The node picture of #375 is gone with its only user: NodePicture,
  EQ_PICTURE and NodeView's drawing of it.

#382, the numbers below the Compressor's knobs in its node:
- A Knob with typed: false shows its number as a centred Label without
  a box, in the panel's ink. The ratio reads 4:1 (ratioText).
- The label is as high as its text and sits up in the dial's open
  bottom, right under the ends of the scale.
- Label takes a colour of its own.

#383, the wheel in a graph:
- GraphCanvas takes the wheel on the way down and stops it there. It
  zooms over a node too, and no knob or curve in a node sees it.
- The tabs keep their wheel: a knob's step, a band's Q and the zoom
  of the EQ's dB.

Found on the way:
- A Menu opened below a button in the zoomed graph would have been
  placed by the button's own height. openBelow now takes the bottom
  edge as drawn.
- The band row did not lay out its labels after a text change when
  its own size stayed. In the tab a later resize hid it, in the node
  "Band 1" and the count were missing. The row now lays out itself.
- Handle and point positions for the checks were unscaled. They now
  go through toGlobal and hold at the graph's zoom.

Tests:
- Unit parametric-eq: 16 tests. The #375 tests now check
  eqCurvePoints and eqRangeOf directly. compressor-view: ratioText.
- e2e 34 (atx): ALL PASSED, 125 checks (3 new: the EQ panel and its
  ports, editing in the node, the spectrum in the node with the tab
  open). The Compressor node's check reads its numbers as labels and
  8:1. Both node checks now expect the wheel to zoom the graph and
  leave the ratio, the Q and the dB zoom alone.
- The unseen-tab check now leaves for the Scene tab, since the node
  in the graph listens to the same tap.
- Counter-check: the tab letting go of the tap every unseen frame
  stalls the node's spectrum with the tab open (1 frame against 22,
  probe on stein2).
- Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 283 files, 4357 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 1f2b64fb4c Show a Compressor's panel in its node, its tab on a double-click (#380)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m2s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 16m14s
The panel of #379 opened in a window of its own and replaced the tab.
The user wanted the device in the graph instead, and the tab of #378
back on a double-click. The switch Hardware look goes again.

- A node can show a face instead of its rows (`NodeFace`). Its inputs
  sit on the left of it and its outputs on the right, in the middle of
  the height. Each side is as wide as its longest port name.
- A Compressor node shows the panel at full size, 820x280 graph units.
  Its settings and numbers are not listed as rows, the panel has them.
- The knobs and the lever work in the node. A drag, a notch of the
  wheel and a double-click are one undo step each. A press on them
  neither picks nor moves the node, and the wheel does not zoom the
  graph. The number below a knob is only shown, typing stays in the
  tab and the inspector.
- The meter and the LEDs run while the node is in the picture of a sound
  FX or instrument graph that is seen. Out of the picture, folded or
  hidden, the node lets go of its taps.
- The window of one size, `fixedSize`, `refit`, `keptSize` and the rule
  that kept a Compressor out of the tab row are gone again.
- A knob's drag as one undo step lives in `nodeParamDrag.ts` now, for
  the tab and the node. The numbers of a node and what auto-gain says
  moved to `compressorView.ts`.

Found and fixed on the way:
- The tab and the node listen to the same taps. The tab let go of them
  on every frame it was not seen, so the node's meter stood still while
  the tab was open. Now the tab lets go once, and in a frame everything
  unseen lets go before anything seen listens.

Tests:
- Unit: compressor-view (2 new), documents (the test of `keptSize` is
  gone with it)
- e2e 34 (stein2, melektaus-atx was off): ALL PASSED, 122 checks. The
  four checks of #379 are now four of the node: ports beside the panel,
  knobs and lever in the node, the needle when played (21.7 dB with the
  tab open), and the double-click opening the tab.
- Gate (stein2): CHECK EXIT 0, 283 files, 4356 tests
- Counter-checks: an old auto-gain number read as off turns exactly its
  unit test red. A tab that lets go on every frame leaves the node's
  needle at 0 dB and no LED lit (probe on stein2).
