+  theme: { accent: "#ff9f1c", compactBreakpoint: 420 },
+});
+```
+
+## Responsive layout
+
+The editor adapts to the **container** width (not the window) via a
+`ResizeObserver`, toggling `toneforge-editor--compact` below the breakpoint
+(default 480px) and `toneforge-editor--wide` otherwise. The compact layout uses
+a single column; the wide layout uses an auto-fitting grid. The observer is
+disconnected on `dispose()`.
+
 ## Accessibility
 
 - **Labelled** — every control has a name (`aria-label` / visible label) sourced

Subject: [PATCH 26/53] chore: remove unused 'tone' dependency from
 package.json

Tone.js was removed in a prior migration (TF-0MN06817414DW638) but the
package.json dependency entry and lockfile remained. No source files
import the 'tone' package.

ACs verified:
- No file imports tone
- tone removed from package.json dependencies
- npm install completes cleanly, lockfile updated
- Full test suite passes (2572 tests)
- Web build succeeds

+ * - browser console messages, so a missing recipe surfaces the
+ *   `Unknown recipe ""` warning emitted by `web/src/audio.ts`; and
+ * - shell errors from the PTY buffer, so a wait that ends in
+ *   `toneforge: command not found` reports that error instead of a generic
+ *   "Timed out waiting for terminal text".
+ *
+ * The pure helpers (no Playwright dependency) are unit-tested in
+ * `web/test/diagnostics.test.ts`; the `waitFor*` helpers inject the Playwright
+ * `Page` so the module stays import-safe outside a Playwright run.

Subject: [PATCH 30/53] feat(pty): add CI-safe CLI shim directory for PTY PATH
 resolution

Prepend bin/tf-shim/ to the PTY PATH so that toneforge and tf resolve
inside the web server terminal without a global npm link.

- bin/tf-shim/toneforge, tf: shell scripts delegating to bin/dev-cli.js
- web/server/index.ts: prepend SHIM_DIR to PTY env.PATH at startup
- README.md: document CI-safe CLI invocation in the web demo

Resolves TF-0MUVK0OMW0058TV0

+### Web demo — CI-safe CLI in the PTY
+
+The web demo spawns a terminal PTY for the frontend to execute CLI commands.
+To make `toneforge` and `tf` resolvable inside that PTY without a global
+`npm link`, the server prepends a shim directory (`bin/tf-shim/`) to the
+PTY `PATH` at startup. The shim scripts delegate to `bin/dev-cli.js`, so the
+commands work in CI and on any machine.
+
 ### Troubleshooting
 
 In CI, the postinstall step skips linking automatically. If linking is unavailable locally (permissions/restricted environments), you'll see a non-failing message and can use the loader script directly:

Subject: [PATCH 31/53] TF-0MUVC3DZ10089SAU: Implementation complete

Persist `tf library add` recipes into an external recipe directory
(~/.toneforge/recipes by default, configurable via TONEFORGE_RECIPE_DIR or
--destination) so a separate `tf generate` process discovers and renders them.

- core/recipe.ts: multi-directory discovery, external directory resolution,
  atomic temp-file+rename persistence, path-traversal-safe names
- recipes/index.ts: discover baked-in presets plus the external directory
- cli.runtime.ts: persist on `library add`; `library list` shows the recipe
  catalogue with source directory and external/baked-in/built-in kind
- help text and docs/guides/external-recipes.md document path resolution

+title: "External Recipes: Registering ToneGraph Recipes from Outside the Repo"
+id: external-recipes
+order: 30
+description: >
+  Register ToneGraph recipe files that live outside the ToneForge repository so
+  a separate `tf generate` process discovers them. Covers `tf library add`,
+  `--destination`, the `TONEFORGE_RECIPE_DIR` environment variable, path
+  resolution, idempotency, validation and listing.
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+By default, `tf generate --recipe ` resolves recipes from two sources:
+
+1. the built-in TypeScript recipes in `src/recipes/`, and
+2. file-backed ToneGraph recipes in the repository's `presets/recipes/`
+   directory.
+
+`tf library add` extends this with an **external recipe directory** so tools and
+build pipelines can register recipes without editing the ToneForge source tree.
+The recipe is copied into the external directory, and every later `tf` process
+discovers it alongside the baked-in recipes.
+
+## Registering a recipe
+
+```bash
+# Persist to the default external directory (~/.toneforge/recipes/)
+tf library add --file ./game-weapon.yaml
+
+# Render it in a separate process
+tf generate --recipe game-weapon --seed 42 --output ./game-weapon.wav
+```
+
+The recipe name is derived from the file name without its extension
+(`game-weapon.yaml` → `game-weapon`). Use `--name ` to override it; the
+persisted file is then written as `.` so the separate process finds
+it under the same name.
+
+Inline and stdin inputs are persisted as YAML:
+
+```bash
+tf library add --inline "$(cat game-weapon.yaml)" --name game-weapon
+tf library add --stdin --name game-weapon < game-weapon.yaml
+```
+
+## Choosing the destination directory
+
+The destination is resolved in this order:
+
+1. `--destination ` — single-operation override.
+2. `TONEFORGE_RECIPE_DIR` — environment variable.
+3. `~/.toneforge/recipes/` — platform-agnostic default (uses the OS home
+   directory).
+
+```bash
+tf library add --file ./game-weapon.yaml --destination ./project-recipes
+
+TONEFORGE_RECIPE_DIR=./project-recipes tf library add --file ./game-weapon.yaml
+```
+
+### Path resolution
+
+Both relative and absolute paths are supported for `--file`, `--destination`
+and `TONEFORGE_RECIPE_DIR`:
+
+- **Relative paths** are resolved against the current working directory.
+- **Absolute paths** are used as-is.
+
+`~` is **not** expanded by ToneForge; the shell expands it before the CLI runs.
+The default (`~/.toneforge/recipes/`) is expanded programmatically using the OS
+home directory, so it works on every platform.
+
+## Idempotency and validation
+
+- Re-registering the same recipe overwrites the persisted file and re-registers
+  the recipe in-process — it never errors and never creates duplicates. The
+  write is atomic (temp file + rename), so a concurrent `tf generate` never
+  reads a partial file.
+- Invalid recipe files (non-ToneGraph, schema-violating, or corrupt) are
+  rejected with a clear, non-zero-exit error message. Validation happens
+  **before** anything is written, so the external directory is left unchanged.
+- Recipe names that contain path separators (e.g. `../escape`) are rejected so
+  persistence can never write outside the destination directory.
+
+## Listing externally registered recipes
+
+`tf library list` lists the recipe catalogue (built-in, baked-in and external)
+with each recipe's source directory and kind:
+
+```bash
+tf library list
+tf library list --json
+```
+
+In JSON mode, the `recipes` array entries carry `source` (the directory) and
+`external` (boolean). `externalRecipeCount` reports how many recipes came from
+the external directory.
+
+## How discovery works
+
+`initializeRecipeRegistry()` scans the baked-in `presets/recipes/` directory
+first and then the external directory. A recipe in the external directory with
+the same name as a baked-in recipe **overrides** it. Discovery is a no-op in
+browser runtimes; external directories are Node-only.

+## External recipe registration
+
+\`library add\` persists the recipe to an **external recipe directory** so a
+separate \`toneforge generate --recipe \` process discovers it. The
+directory is resolved in this order:
+
+1. \`--destination \` (single-operation override)
+2. the \`TONEFORGE_RECIPE_DIR\` environment variable
+3. \`~/.toneforge/recipes/\` (platform-agnostic default)
+
+Relative paths for \`--file\`, \`--destination\` and \`TONEFORGE_RECIPE_DIR\` are
+resolved against the current working directory; absolute paths are used as-is.
+The recipe is written atomically (temp file + rename) and re-registering the
+same recipe is an idempotent overwrite. Externally registered recipes are
+discovered alongside the baked-in \`presets/recipes/\` recipes and are shown by
+\`library list\` with their source directory.

+## Node Automation
+
+`automation` is an optional per-node object map from an AudioParam name to an
+ordered list of events. It is the inline counterpart to document-level
+[`sequences`](#sequences) and uses the same event kinds. Unlike `sequences`,
+automation is declared directly on the node definition, which keeps one-shot
+pitch contours (laser zaps, explosion sweeps, whooshes) co-located with the
+node they modulate.
+
+```yaml
+nodes:
+  osc:
+    kind: oscillator
+    params:
+      type: sine
+      frequency: 220
+    automation:
+      frequency:
+        - kind: set
+          time: 0
+          value: 220
+        - kind: linearRamp
+          time: 0.5
+          value: 880
+```
+
+### Automation Contract
+
+- `automation` must be an object (not an array, not `null`).
+- Each key is an AudioParam name on that node (for example `frequency` on an
+  `oscillator` or `biquadFilter`, or `gain` on a `gain` node). Keys must not be
+  empty.
+- Each value must be an array of events drawn from the same union as
+  `sequences` events: `set`, `linearRamp`, `exponentialRamp`, and `lfo`.
+- Events are validated at document load. A malformed event (unknown `kind`,
+  missing or non-finite `time`/`value`, non-array event list) fails validation
+  with a clear error.
+- An `exponentialRamp` whose `value` is `<= 0` is rejected at validation: the
+  Web Audio API only supports exponential ramps to strictly positive targets.
+- The validator **preserves** `automation` on the validated document, so the
+  loader can schedule the events.
+- Invalid param names (ones that do not resolve to a runtime AudioParam) fail
+  at load time with a descriptive error, exactly like `sequences`.
+
+### Worked Example: Frequency Sweeps
+
+The committed example recipe
+[`presets/recipes/frequency-sweep-demo.yaml`](../presets/recipes/frequency-sweep-demo.yaml)
+demonstrates a one-shot linear rise and an exponential fall:
+
+```yaml
+# rise: 220 Hz -> 880 Hz linear rise
+rise:
+  kind: oscillator
+  params:
+    type: sine
+    frequency: 220
+  automation:
+    frequency:
+      - kind: set
+        time: 0
+        value: 220
+      - kind: linearRamp
+        time: 0.5
+        value: 880
+
+# fall: 440 Hz -> 60 Hz exponential fall
+fall:
+  kind: oscillator
+  params:
+    type: sine
+    frequency: 440
+  automation:
+    frequency:
+      - kind: set

+        value: 440
+      - kind: exponentialRamp
+        time: 0.5
+        value: 60
+```
+
+Render it with the CLI:
+
+```bash
+tf generate --recipe frequency-sweep-demo --seed 42 --output frequency-sweep-demo.wav
+```
+
+Because automation is part of the recipe file, this recipe renders through the
+same file-backed path as every other ToneGraph recipe; no TypeScript is
+required to author the sweep.

Subject: [PATCH 35/53] refactor: per-parameter override coverage harness
 (TF-0MUVK21BQ004E6ZO)

- Export assertOverrideChangesOutput helper for per-parameter testing
- Refactor registry-wide coverage test to use the helper
- Add stale-entry and missing-entry guard assertions
- Add unit tests for the override-check helper
- All 9 tests pass; no production code changes

Subject: [PATCH 36/53] test: preserve inline node automation through
 validation (TF-0MUVK21Q9003PW21)

- Remove the 'as unknown as ToneGraphDocument' cast from automation
  test cases in tonegraph.test.ts; use typed const annotations instead
- Add an integration test asserting ambient-wind-gust and card-transform
  inline automation survives validation, changes rendered output, and
  remains deterministic

Note: the core schema validation/preservation was already delivered by
TF-0MUV8YKFR002BIA2; this item closes the remaining test/type gaps.

+### Including a stack inside a sequence (recipe wrapper)
+
+Sequence events resolve **recipes only** — `renderSequence()` looks up a
+registered recipe and calls `renderRecipe()`. Stack presets are rendered by a
+separate `renderStack()` path, so you cannot reference a stack preset directly
+from a sequence event. To reuse a stack inside a timeline, wrap it as a thin
+**recipe wrapper**:
+
+1. **Implement the wrapper.** A factory builds a `RecipeRegistration` whose
+   `buildOfflineGraph()` derives a numeric seed from the recipe `Rng`, calls
+   `renderStack()`, and copies the resulting samples into the caller's
+   `OfflineAudioContext` as a buffer source. Its `getDuration()` mirrors the
+   stack's natural duration from the same seed derivative so `renderRecipe()`
+   does not truncate the wrapped audio.
+
+   ```ts
+   // src/recipes/stack-wrapper.ts (excerpt)
+   export function createStackWrapperRecipe(options: StackWrapperOptions): RecipeRegistration {
+     const stack = options.stack;
+     const params = options.params; // e.g. [{ name: "gain", min: 0.2, max: 1.0, unit: "amplitude" }]
+     return {
+       getDuration(rng, overrides) {
+         const { seed } = deriveInputs(rng, params, overrides);
+         return computeStackDuration(stack, seed);
+       },
+       async buildOfflineGraph(rng, ctx, duration, overrides) {
+         const { seed, params: derived } = deriveInputs(rng, params, overrides);
+         const gain = derived["gain"] ?? 1.0;
+         const result = await renderStack(stack, seed);
+
+         const audioBuffer = ctx.createBuffer(
+           result.numberOfChannels, result.samples.length, result.sampleRate,
+         );
+         for (let ch = 0; ch < result.numberOfChannels; ch++) {
+           const data = audioBuffer.getChannelData(ch);
+           for (let i = 0; i < result.samples.length; i++) {
+             data[i] = result.samples[i] * gain;
+           }
+         }
+
+         const source = ctx.createBufferSource();
+         source.buffer = audioBuffer;
+         source.connect(ctx.destination);
+         source.start(0);
+         source.stop(duration);
+       },
+       // ...description, category, tags, signalChain, params, getParams
+     };
+   }
+   ```
+
+   `deriveInputs()` takes the stack seed from the **first** `rng()` call, so
+   `getDuration()` and `buildOfflineGraph()` agree for the same event seed.
+
+2. **Register it.** In `src/recipes/index.ts`, after the shared `registry` is
+   created, register the wrapper with an in-memory `StackDefinition` (so the
+   browser build never touches `node:fs`):
+
+   ```ts
+   const cardPlayLandingStack: StackDefinition = {
+     name: "card_play_landing",
+     layers: [
+       { recipe: "card-slide", startTime: 0, gain: 1.0 },
+       { recipe: "card-place", startTime: 0.08, gain: 0.9 },
+       { recipe: "card-glow", startTime: 0.18, gain: 0.55 },
+     ],
+   };
+
+   registry.register("stack-card-play-landing", createStackWrapperRecipe({
+     name: "stack-card-play-landing",
+     stack: cardPlayLandingStack,
+     description: "Wraps the card_play_landing stack preset as a recipe.",
+     category: "Card Game",
+     tags: ["card", "stack", "wrapper", "landing"],
+     signalChain: "Stack(card_play_landing): card-slide -> card-place -> card-glow",
+     params: [
+       { name: "gain", min: 0.2, max: 1.0, unit: "amplitude" },
+     ],
+   }));
+   ```
+
+3. **Reference it from a sequence preset.** The `event` field names the wrapper
+   recipe exactly as registered. The shipped example
+   `presets/sequences/tableau_play_card_with_landing.json` mixes a plain
+   `card-slide` lead-in with the wrapped stack:
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "version": "1.0",
+     "name": "tableau_play_card_with_landing",
+     "events": [
+       { "time": 0,    "event": "card-slide",              "seedOffset": 0, "gain": 0.7 },
+       { "time": 0.15, "event": "stack-card-play-landing", "seedOffset": 1, "gain": 1.0 }
+     ]
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Preview the composed sequence.** Omit `--output` to play it through your
+   speakers:
+
+   ```bash
+   toneforge sequence generate --preset presets/sequences/tableau_play_card_with_landing.json --seed 42
+   ```
+
+   Inspect and simulate the timeline first if you want to verify event timing:
+
+   ```bash
+   toneforge sequence inspect  --preset presets/sequences/tableau_play_card_with_landing.json
+   toneforge sequence simulate --preset presets/sequences/tableau_play_card_with_landing.json --seed 42
+   ```
+
+> **Why a wrapper instead of a native stack event?** The sequence schema
+documents `event` as resolving "recipe, stack preset, or library entry", but
+only recipes are resolved today. The wrapper keeps the stack reusable without
+re-authoring its layers, and the pattern is covered by automated tests in
+`src/recipes/stack-wrapper.test.ts`. Native stack events in the sequence schema
+are a future enhancement.

Subject: [PATCH 38/53] feat: wire built-in recipe parameters into synthesis
 (TF-0MUVK225D006RD7B)

- impact-crack: blend white/pink noise by noiseColorMix (0=white, 1=pink)
  using Paul Kellet's pink-noise filter; exactly one RNG draw per sample
- card-round-complete: implement ADSR envelope with a sustain plateau
  (attack -> decay to sustain -> plateau -> release); duration now
  attack + 3*decay so the sustain phase is inside the rendered buffer
- Remove both entries from KNOWN_UNWIRED
- Add explicit per-parameter override tests and sustain-plateau RMS test

Note: seed-derived baseline audio changes for both recipes; no golden
snapshots exist.

Subject: [PATCH 39/53] feat: declarative file-backed override mappings
 (TF-0MUVK22K5002RR1R)

- Add src/core/recipe-overrides.ts: parse, validate and apply declarative
  meta.parameters[].overrides mappings
- Support direct node-param targets, automation-event targets (by index or
  kind), and computed expressions (* and /) over resolved parameters and
  node fields
- Wire mappings into createFileBackedRegistration after the name/default
  heuristic so explicit mappings win; validate at registration/discovery time
- Add 26 unit/integration tests covering each target form, resolution order,
  precedence, no-op behaviour, and loud failures
- Document the mapping format in docs/tonegraph.md

Recipes without mappings are unchanged (no-op path).

 - If both `min` and `max` are present, `min <= max`.
 - `default` must match `type` and be inside declared bounds when bounds exist.
 
+### File-Backed Override Mappings
+
+When a recipe is loaded from a file, a declared parameter is normally injected
+into the graph by matching node-param keys or automation fields by exact name,
+or by equality with the declared `default`. That heuristic cannot express
+computed relationships (for example `modulator.frequency = carrier.frequency *
+modRatio`).
+
+For those cases a parameter descriptor may carry an explicit `overrides` list:
+
+```yaml
+meta:
+  parameters:
+    - name: modRatio
+      type: number
+      min: 1
+      max: 4
+      default: 2
+      overrides:
+        - target: modulator.frequency
+          expression: "carrier.frequency * modRatio"
+    - name: modDepthEnd
+      type: number
+      min: 300
+      max: 800
+      overrides:
+        - target: modDepth.automation.gain.linearRamp.value
+```
+
+Each entry in `overrides` has:
+
+- `target` (string, required) — a dotted path to a node field:
+  - `.` writes a node `params` field.
+  - `.automation...` writes an automation
+    event field, selected by zero-based `index` or by event `kind`.
+- `expression` (string, optional) — a small arithmetic expression evaluated
+  against resolved parameter values and node fields. Supported operators are
+  `*` and `/`; operands are numeric literals, declared parameter names, or
+  `.` references. When omitted, the parameter's resolved value is
+  written directly.
+
+Resolution order: seed-derived values, then base overrides, then the generic
+name/default heuristic, then explicit mappings. Computed mappings therefore see
+the post-override value of every parameter they reference, regardless of
+declaration order, and explicit mappings win over a heuristic match for the
+same field. An unknown parameter, node, field, automation param, event or
+reference fails loudly when the recipe is registered.
+
+Recipes that declare no `overrides` are unaffected: the mapping mechanism is a
+no-op for them.
+
 ## Routing
 
 `routing` is a required array of connection entries.

+/**
+ * Declarative file-backed override mappings.
+ *
+ * File-backed recipes may attach an `overrides` list to each entry in
+ * `meta.parameters`. Each entry maps the declared parameter onto one or more
+ * node fields or automation event fields, optionally transforming it with a
+ * small arithmetic expression. This lets a recipe express computed
+ * relationships (for example `modulator.frequency = carrier.frequency *
+ * modRatio`) without duplicating derived literals in the YAML.
+ *
+ * The mechanism is deliberately explicit: mappings win over the generic
+ * name/default-value injection heuristic in `createFileBackedRegistration`,
+ * and an invalid mapping (unknown parameter, node or field) fails loudly at
+ * registration time.
+ *
+ * Declaration format:
+ *
+ * ```yaml
+ * meta:
+ *   parameters:
+ *     - name: modRatio
+ *       type: number
+ *       min: 1
+ *       max: 4
+ *       overrides:
+ *         - target: modulator.frequency
+ *           expression: "carrier.frequency * modRatio"
+ *     - name: modDepthEnd
+ *       type: number
+ *       min: 300
+ *       max: 800
+ *       overrides:
+ *         - target: modDepth.automation.gain.linearRamp.value
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Target paths are one of:
+ * - `.` — a node `params` field.
+ * - `.automation...` — an automation event
+ *   field, selected by zero-based event index or by event `kind`.

Subject: [PATCH 40/53] fix: honour file-backed derived parameters via
 declarative mappings (TF-0MUVK22YO002IID4)

- ambient-wind-gust.yaml: map filterFreq -> windFilter.frequency and
  automation offset, lfoRate -> automation rate, lfoDepth -> automation
  depth (expression 'lfoDepth / 2')
- card-transform.yaml: map carrierFreq -> carrier.frequency, modRatio ->
  modulator.frequency (expression 'carrier.frequency * modRatio'),
  modDepthStart -> modDepth.gain and the 'set' event, modDepthEnd -> the
  'linearRamp' event value
- weapon-laser-zap.yaml: map carrierFreq/modulatorFreq directly and
  modIndex -> modDepth.gain (expression 'modIndex * modulator.frequency')
- Add shared assertOverrideChangesOutput test helper and explicit
  per-parameter override assertions for the three recipes
- Remove the three now-honoured KNOWN_UNWIRED entries; only
  ambient-wind-gust.release remains (child TF-0MUVK23CN004C4R9)

Baseline audio changes for the three recipes (no golden snapshots exist).

Subject: [PATCH 41/53] fix: schedule envelope release inside the render window
 (TF-0MUVK23CN004C4R9)

- tonegraph.ts stop(): release now spans [time - release, time] (clamped at
  0) instead of [time, time + release], matching the authored convention
  duration = attack + decay + release; sources still stop at time
- Re-assert the sustain plateau from cancelScheduledValues(releaseStart)
- Document the stop() contract on ToneGraphHandle
- Add unit tests: release ramp measurable inside the window; release = 0
  holds sustain through the buffer (unchanged behaviour)
- Add ambient-wind-gust.release override test with tail-fades-to-silence
  assertion; remove the last KNOWN_UNWIRED entry (now empty)

footstep-gravel and ui-scifi-confirm have release = 0 and render unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 42/53] chore: empty KNOWN_UNWIRED allowlist and update docs
 (TF-0MUVK23RD008P0VA)

- Extract evaluateAllowlist guard helper; the registry-wide coverage test
  now derives stale/missing entries through it
- Add unit tests for the guard machinery (stale, missing, still-no-effect)
  and a helper test that fails when a wired parameter is claimed allowlisted
- Update docs/tonegraph.md: envelope release window semantics and the
  file-backed override mapping format (already added) plus node-automation
  preservation
- Document override resolution order on RecipeRegistration.buildOfflineGraph
  and RenderPresetInput.overrides

The allowlist is empty; every declared parameter of every registered recipe
is honoured.

+## Namespaces
+
+`namespaces` is an optional object map that groups existing nodes under named
+prefixes. Routing entries may then reference nodes in a namespace using the
+`ns//` syntax. Namespaces enable recipe authors to refer
+to logically related node groups without hard-coding node ids.
+
+### Namespace Definition
+
+```json
+"namespaces": {
+  "sfx": { "nodes": ["osc1", "filter1", "env1"] },
+  "pad": { "nodes": ["osc2", "filter2", "amp2"] }
+}
+```
+
+Fields:
+- `nodes` (array of strings, required) — list of existing node ids that belong
+  to this namespace. Every node must exist in `nodes`.
+
+### Namespace Routing Reference
+
+Routing entries may use `ns//` anywhere a plain node id is
+expected:
+
+```json
+"routing": [
+  { "chain": ["ns/sfx/osc1", "ns/sfx/filter1", "ns/sfx/env1", "out"] }
+]
+```
+
+The loader resolves `ns/sfx/osc1` to the node `osc1` declared in the `sfx`
+namespace. Namespace references in routing are validated at load time:
+
+- The namespace name must exist in `namespaces`.
+- The referenced node id must be listed in that namespace's `nodes` array.
+- The namespace name must not collide with a node id.
+
+### Namespace Example
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "0.1",
+  "namespaces": {
+    "sfx": { "nodes": ["osc", "filter", "env"] }
+  },
+  "nodes": {
+    "osc": { "kind": "oscillator", "params": { "frequency": 440 } },

+    "out": { "kind": "destination" }

+# Mixer Rules
+
+ToneForge's Mixer applies **declarative, deterministic, auditable** mix rules
+to avoid an unusable mix when many sounds play at once. This document defines
+the rule schema, the built-in defaults, and the loader that reads rules from
+`.toneforge/mixer/*.json`.
+
+See [`docs/prd/MIXER_PRD.md`](prd/MIXER_PRD.md) for the product-level design.
+
+## Mix groups
+
+Mix groups are intent-based semantic categories (not channel strips). The six
+confirmed groups are:
+
+| Group | Default priority |
+|---|---|
+| `dialogue` | 100 |
+| `alerts` | 90 |
+| `ui` | 80 |
+| `combat` | 60 |
+| `footsteps` | 40 |
+| `ambience` | 20 |
+
+Group names are case-insensitive and normalised to lowercase.
+
+## Defaults
+
+| Default | Value | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `maxVoices` | 4 | Concurrent voices allowed per group |
+| `duckDepthDb` | 6 | Attenuation applied by a duck action (positive magnitude, e.g. `6` = −6 dB) |
+| `uiDuckDurationMs` | 200 | Duck duration applied to UI-triggered rules |
+
+## Rule schema
+
+Each file under `.toneforge/mixer/` is a JSON rule set:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0",
+  "defaults": { "maxVoices": 4, "duckDepthDb": 6, "uiDuckDurationMs": 200 },
+  "groups": {
+    "combat": { "priority": 60, "maxVoices": 4 }
+  },
+  "rules": [
+    {
+      "id": "combat-focus",
+      "when": { "state": "combat" },
+      "then": {
+        "duck": ["ambience"],
+        "boost": ["combat"],
+        "limit": ["ui"]
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### `when` — triggers
+
+At least one of `state` / `context` is required:
+
+- `state` — a state name (e.g. `"combat"`).
+- `context` — a map of context dimensions that must all match (e.g.
+  `{ "surface": "metal" }`).
+
+### `then` — actions
+
+At least one of `duck` / `boost` / `limit` is required. Every target may be a
+group-name string (using the built-in defaults) or an object with explicit
+values:
+
+| Action | String form | Object form | Defaults applied |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `duck` | `"ambience"` | `{ "group": "ambience", "depthDb": 9, "durationMs": 500 }` | `duckDepthDb` (6); UI-triggered rules also default `durationMs` to `uiDuckDurationMs` (200) |
+| `boost` | `"combat"` | `{ "group": "combat", "gainDb": 3 }` | none |
+| `limit` | `"ui"` | `{ "group": "ui", "maxVoices": 2 }` | `maxVoices` (4) |
+
+Rules are evaluated deterministically: the same state/context and rules always
+produce the same decisions. Intelligence may *suggest* rules, but the Mixer
+never auto-applies suggestions.
+
+## Loading rules
+
+```ts
+import { loadMixRules } from "./src/mixer/index.js";
+
+const rules = loadMixRules();
+// → { version, defaults, groups, rules }
+```
+
+`loadMixRules(options)` accepts:
+
+- `dir` — directory to read (`*.json`); defaults to `/.toneforge/mixer`.
+- `fallback` — rule set used when no files are present; defaults to the
+  built-in rule set.
+- `warn` — warning sink used on fallback; defaults to `console.warn`.
+
+Behaviour:
+
+- **No files present** (directory missing or containing no `.json`): a warning
+  is emitted and the built-in defaults are returned.
+- **Files present**: every file is validated in filename order and merged
+  (later files override `defaults`/`groups`; rules concatenate). Invalid JSON
+  or schema violations fail fast with field-level, actionable errors — a
+  malformed rule file never silently falls back to defaults.
+- **Group names are case-insensitive** (`"UI"` and `"ui"` are equivalent) and
+  normalise to lowercase.
+
+The committed seed file [`../.toneforge/mixer/rules.json`](../.toneforge/mixer/rules.json)
+mirrors the built-in defaults and is covered by tests that guard against drift.
+
+## Programmatic validation

+/**
+ * Mixer Rule Schema
+ *
+ * Defines the declarative JSON schema for Mixer mix rules and provides
+ * validation plus normalisation. Rules map a state/context trigger
+ * (`when`) to duck/boost/limit actions (`then`), matching the shape in
+ * `docs/prd/MIXER_PRD.md` §4.3:
+ *
+ * ```json
+ * {
+ *   "when": { "state": "combat" },
+ *   "then": {
+ *     "duck": ["ambience"],
+ *     "boost": ["combat"],
+ *     "limit": ["ui"]
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * The schema is intentionally declarative (JSON only, no code execution) so
+ * rule files stay auditable, version-controlled and deterministic. Built-in
+ * defaults mirror the committed seed file `.toneforge/mixer/rules.json`:
+ * `maxVoices` 4, duck depth 6 dB, UI duck duration 200 ms.
+ *
+ * Reference: docs/prd/MIXER_PRD.md §4; docs/mixer-rules.md

+## Mixer runtime
+
+The runtime arbitration engine lives in
+[`src/mixer/runtime.ts`](../src/mixer/runtime.ts) and is reached through the
+module index:
+
+```ts
+import { Mixer, loadMixRules } from "./src/mixer/index.js";
+
+const mixer = new Mixer({ ruleSet: loadMixRules() });
+
+mixer.setContext({ surface: "metal" });   // context-driven rules
+mixer.updateState("combat");               // evaluates rules → decisions
+
+const voice = mixer.startVoice("combat");  // null when at the voice cap
+mixer.stopVoice("combat", voice!);
+
+mixer.inspect();
+// → { state, context, groups[], decisions[], voiceCount }
+```
+
+### Group registry
+
+`inspect().groups` returns one `MixGroupState` per confirmed group with its
+`priority`, effective `maxVoices`, `currentGain`, `activeVoices` and (while a
+duck is active) `duckDurationMs`. Gains start at unity (`1`) and only move in
+response to an explicit rule action.
+
+### Voice ledger
+
+`startVoice(group)` admits a voice only while the group is below its effective
+`maxVoices` cap and returns a deterministic voice ID (`-voice-`), or
+`null` when the group is full. `stopVoice(group, id)` releases a voice. Active
+voices are tracked per group; a group never admits more voices than its cap.
+
+### Rule evaluation
+
+`applyRules()` (called implicitly by `updateState`/`setContext`) evaluates the
+rule set against the current state/context. A rule matches when its `state`
+matches the current state **and** every declared `context` dimension matches;
+a rule declaring only one of the two is matched on that trigger alone. Each
+pass resets gains to unity and caps to their configured values, so evaluation
+is deterministic and idempotent for identical inputs.
+
+Matching actions are applied in rule order:
+
+- `duck` multiplies the target gain by `10 ** (-depthDb / 20)` (6 dB → ≈ 0.5);
+- `boost` multiplies the target gain by `10 ** (gainDb / 20)` when `gainDb` is
+declared, otherwise it records a decision without changing the gain;
+- `limit` lowers the target's effective voice cap.
+
+A cap lowered beneath the current active count does not retroactively stop
+live voices; the effective cap is raised to the active count until they end, so
+`activeVoices ≤ maxVoices` always holds.
+
+The full ordered decision list from the most recent pass is available as
+`inspect().decisions`. Evaluation is constant-time per rule and adds no
+allocation-heavy work to the hot path; there is no ML inference and no
+suggestion is ever auto-applied.
+

+
+- `schema.test.ts` and `rules-loader.test.ts` — rule parsing/validation and
+  config loading;
+- `runtime.test.ts` — the runtime API: group metadata, voice admission,
+  rule decisions, default duck/UI values, determinism and a latency benchmark;
+- `voice-limiting.test.ts` — the safety-critical voice-limit invariant under a
+  seeded simulated load, fixture-verified duck/boost/limit outcomes for all
+  six groups, and byte-stable determinism snapshots. Deterministic fixtures
+  (seeded PRNG + fixed rule sets) live in `rules-fixtures.ts`.

 # Changelog
 
+## v0.1.2 (2026-10-06)
+> **Release focus:** This release focuses on making the sound design system more flexible and reliable, letting you shape sounds with interactive controls, save and reuse custom recipes without rebuilding the game, and add recipes from any file location. It also adds smooth pitch sweeps for effects, network playtesting, and preset browsing, alongside fixes for audio glitches, session saving, and automated tests.
+### Features
+- Shape sounds with sliders, dials, and touchpads, then hear changes instantly. (TF-0MUTZ4TOY003DJ45)
+- Sound effects can now sweep smoothly up or down in pitch, like laser zaps and explosions. (TF-0MUV8YKFR002BIA2)
+- You can now save custom recipes that persist across sessions and use them in any future run. (TF-0MUVC3DZ10089SAU)
+- You can now add custom sound recipes from any file location without editing the game's code. (TF-0MUUC9RTU008UJ18)
+- Recipes can now be added or tweaked without rebuilding the game. (TF-0MMZIW9NQ09MV98G)
+- Improved session saving reliability so your progress is preserved more consistently. (TF-0MN1QCTMC07ATYMS)
+- Easily browse available sequence and stack presets right from the command line. (TF-0MMSXILP20HEKXT2)
+- Playtest the game from other devices on your network. (TF-0MUVUWN0A006EEBT)
+- You can now reuse layered sound stacks inside sequences without rebuilding them. (TF-0MMSYF0G20PY7GMB)
+### Bug Fixes
+- Fixed browser audio rendering and terminal command issues so tutorial tests pass reliably. (TF-0MUVBX24I000ST03)
+- Fixed an occasional audio glitch that could cause sound effects to play incorrectly. (TF-0MUURP3KD00724BM)
+- Fixed a setup issue that was preventing the game's automated tests from running. (TF-0MUUELBUD002OEQ8)
+- Sound controls now show labels and respond to click-and-drag. (TF-0MUVMITO30059E7U)
+- All sound parameters now actually change the audio when adjusted. (TF-0MUV9U9QU001SORH)
+### Other
+- ToneForge audio is now properly licensed, ensuring reliable sound in the game. (TF-0MUTVQSI6003VPAD)
+- Recipes now produce different results each time you play. (TF-0MN1TS9661DEIXH0)
+- Removed an unused audio library, making the game download smaller and faster to install. (TF-0MUUYLVHZ002FRYE)
+
 ## v0.1.1 (2026-10-04)
 ### Features
 - Generate a wider variety of game sounds, like lasers, footsteps, chimes, and wind. (TF-0MLXF74KE17SQKAD)
