VECTOR 0.3.1-experimental: VECTOR again, sample tracks only. The MIDI generator from 0.3.0 becomes its own module, VECTOR MIDI.

The owner decided on 8 November 2026, after #1339 went live, that the MIDI-track generator is a separate module. 0.3.0 had built it into VECTOR and renamed VECTOR to "VECTOR MIDI". This release rolls that back.

What changes for the musician:

• The library name is VECTOR again, and the summary names sample tracks only.
• VECTOR no longer appears in MIDI NOTE SETUP's generator list. The MIDI generator comes back as its own module, VECTOR MIDI, in a separate first-release pull request.
• Card builds: VECTOR's SRC SETUP page 2 can open beside POLY8 ([vector] VECTOR #1119). This is VECTOR 0.2.6-experimental: SRC SETUP page 2 on VECTOR's own row, wherever it sits (#1119) #1141's 0.2.6 fix, released here.
• Over USB this installs the 0.2.5 package (45c962ca…, 18,354 B), the one that ran on the owner's MKII ([recorder-loop-fix] Vector show just 1 SRC menu #972), under a declared lag (lagsBehind 0.3.1).

How it was made:

• git revert -m 1 of VECTOR 0.3.0-experimental: VECTOR MIDI, phrases on the Octatrack's MIDI tracks #1339's merge, then VECTOR 0.2.6-experimental: SRC SETUP page 2 on VECTOR's own row, wherever it sits (#1119) #1141's VECTOR source changes (control.s, native.c, vector_runtime.py, the manifest, TESTING.md, vector.test.ts, version pins), with the version set to 0.3.1 because 0.3.0 is live.
• The changelog keeps 0.3.0's entry as history and drops 0.2.6's, which never shipped.
• Card packages rebuilt with build-modules-isolated.sh and imported (--development).
• Machine recipe pins are VECTOR 0.2.6-experimental: SRC SETUP page 2 on VECTOR's own row, wherever it sits (#1119) #1141's: machine-ports.json hashes to the same eefb1c8b….
• Tape Echo and Euclid standalone recipe pins were moved to the new assets. Play Modes stays stale (Play Modes 0.2.0 has no USB package: USB installs still get 0.1.1 #764).
• Analog BD composition proofs re-exported (6 shards, --suite analog-bd).

Validation commands and results:

• npm run module:verify -- vector: 186 selections, 76 native images match, 110 matching refusals, 0 mismatches.
• npm run octatrack:module-packages -- --check: VECTOR kept at 0.2.5 by the declared lag; the rest identical.
• npm run pr:ready: Ready. The committed packages reproduce the isolated build (import-module-build.mjs --check-only --verify-existing).
• Hardware: no new run. The card build is 0.2.6's code, checked only in ot_emu (TESTING.md). Over USB the package is byte-for-byte the one tested on 0.2.5's MKII run.

What the guides lacked or got wrong: nothing.

Related to #1119. Supersedes #1141.
