adminandClaude Opus 5.5 c087993000 Edit a Filter in its node and resize EQ and Filter nodes (#385)
A Filter sounds like one band of the Parametric EQ, but it keeps what
the EQ cannot: linked numbers, the all-pass and +-40 dB. So it stays a
node of its own and gets the EQ's editor with itself as the one band.
The editors also stop running out of their room: what does not fit is
left out instead of being cut.

- The curve of the EQ is now BandCurve with a host the EQ and the
  Filter both fill. CurvePanel holds what their panels share.
- FilterPanel shows the Filter as one band. A drag of its handle sets
  frequency and gain as one undo step. A number fed by a link is
  greyed out and the drag leaves it alone.
- A double-click on the Filter's title opens the same in a tab of its
  own. Delete there does nothing, the node stays.
- The Filter is tapped like the EQ, so its node and its tab draw the
  spectrum of what passes it. A tap is two gain nodes per voice, the
  analysers are made only while someone listens.
- EqFace and FilterFace are one CurveFace now, given the panel.
- EQ and Filter nodes have a corner to resize them, drawn like the
  floating window's. The size is saved on the node as `size`, each
  drag is one undo step, the least is 240 x 120.
- In the node the help line is gone. The row of numbers comes in only
  once the curve keeps 120 px of height. A group of the row that does
  not fit is not drawn, the one on the right first.
- A frequency or dB label that would run into the one before it is
  left out.
- The all-pass is drawn flat. The curve's maths takes every shape a
  Filter has.

Found on the way:
- The instrument presets set nodes 240 apart. A Filter with its
  editor is about 700 wide and covered the Bitcrusher, so a Filter
  now takes four columns.

Tests:
- Unit: 8 new (filter band, resize command and save, fitting rules),
  stage lists with a Filter now hold its taps
- e2e 34 (atx): ALL PASSED, 130 checks (4 new)
- Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 284 files, 4367 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 1df38bd430 Edit a Compressor in a tab of its own, with knobs and levels (#378)
A Compressor had only its number rows in the node. Its numbers are
easier to set by feel on a dial, and what it does is easier to judge
when the level going in and the level going out are seen side by side.

- Knob is a new widget in the toolkit: a slider bent into a circle,
  its name above and a number field below. A drag up or down turns
  it, Shift a tenth as far, a notch of the wheel a fiftieth of the
  turn, a double-click sets the default, the number takes a typed
  value. A taper gives the low end more of the turn.
- The Compressor's tab opens on a double-click, one per node, like
  the Parametric EQ's. It has a knob for each of the seven numbers,
  greyed while its input is linked.
- Its curve shows level in to level out from -60 to 0 dB. The point
  where it bends sets the threshold, the end of the curve sets the
  ratio that ends there.
- Its levels show the last 4 s on both sides of the node. Where it
  takes more than 0.5 dB away, the stretch below the level coming in
  is tinted. The makeup is left out of that.
- The Compressor is tapped like the EQ. SpectrumTaps listens to more
  than one node at once and reads the loudest sample of the last
  25 ms on each side.
- The node tabs share one map in the editor (nodeTabs), so a third
  kind needs no new plumbing.

Findings:

- CI task 614 for 23922ee was red on the memory check of the stream:
  the tab's renderer grew by 94 MB with nothing decoded. Play mode
  made garbage of its own and was read before a collection. Both
  readings in play now come after one, and the check compares the
  growth streamed with the growth decoded (3.7 MB against 59.8 MB).
- The ratio handle sat on the right edge of the picture, where a
  widget's hit area ends. The curve is inset by the grab radius.

Tests:

- Gate (melektaus-atx): 282 files, 4338 tests (17 new)
- e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 116 checks (6 new)
- Counter-checks: an inverted ratio search, stop() letting go of
  every node and a drag without its least step each fail exactly
  their test.
- Looked at the tab in a screenshot: a blip at -4.4 dB came out at
  -16.7 dB, the gap tinted, the threshold line at -24.
