What this does

Releases the Octatrack Modwerk base and loading modules over USB to every member and visitor, and ships the base that goes with it. Merging this deploys the release.

Site

  • A gate of its own for the Octatrack base path (hasOctatrackBase, switch OCTATRACK_BASE_RELEASED, now on). Beta modules and the Zoom beta pages stay behind the beta gate.
  • A welcome to modules over USB, once, for whoever never had the base, on every machine's pages. Build and sync entry points lead to it. "Set up my Octatrack" opens the install guide.
  • The install guide says what is true: the first install goes through the card, later base updates go over USB. It opens from Your Octatrack and resumes after a reload.
  • Card firmware without the base stays as a labelled fallback, for browsers without WebUSB and for the three modules with no USB package (Tuner, Stem Rec, Temp Save, marked "Card only").
  • At most 20 modules in a module set for now (SET_MODULE_LIMIT); a longer set opens but cannot be synced or built until trimmed. Also checked in /api/auth/build-access.
  • Diagnostics are a free choice for everyone, testers included: a last step in the guide, and one more question after a failure (30-day pause after "Not now"). The step leads with why a report helps, Share diagnostics is its main button (owner's decision, 11 November 2026) and the guide's Continue waits for an answer.
  • Visitors without an account can share diagnostics too (owner's decision, 11 November 2026). Their consent and reports sit in two new tables (migration 0090) under the SHA-256 of a random ID the browser makes only on Share and keeps in localStorage. Same validation, retention and limits as a member's, plus limits per address. Stop sharing under Setup deletes the reports, the consent and the ID. The owner's view lists them as guest: and eight characters.
  • The welcome and the guide's first view are wider with a larger picture; Setup's Modwerk base section stands out; "What's new: modules over USB" opens the welcome also with a base installed; the unfinished Samples page is off Your Octatrack's list.
  • New anonymous daily counts (install guide steps, answers to the diagnostics invitation), migration 0089. New consented fields: browser and OS family, and why a connection failed. Consent version 2026-11-11.1; privacy page updated in English and German.
  • Octatrack beta wording removed; report forms send testers to Discord only for beta modules.

Base

  • New base 4854b76c…: holding PROJ, or FUNC, when the module restore runs skips it.
  • A base install or update with no layout asked for installs USB Audio off (MEMBER_LAYOUT). A set that contains the USB Audio module gets its layout in the same install or update. The update dialog says so when USB Audio is about to go off.
  • The five base-bound packages were rebuilt for the new base; their bytes did not change.

Checks

npm run pr:ready on the final state: Check passed (3128 tests passed, 6 skipped, sdk:check passed), "Ready". New tests: a visitor's consent, report, listing and deletion on the server with the CORS preflight, and the guide's last step for a visitor. Visitor consent was also tried with curl against the local Worker.

An independent review of both halves was run; its findings are fixed in this branch (layout kept on update, paused modules kept out of "Start from what's on it", USB-only modules refused in browsers without USB, account wording, stacked dialogs, the put-back limit message, guide counts).

Guides: they still described the Octatrack base path, USB loading and diagnostics as beta-only, and did not say which layout a base install without one gets. Fixed in docs/APP_DEVELOPMENT.md (the hasOctatrackBase gate, consent version, daily counts), docs/module-guides/midi-usb.md (the off default), docs/OCTATRACK_MODULE_EDGE_CASES.md and sdk/machines/octatrack/elekloader/README.md.

On hardware (owner's MKII, 11 November 2026)

  • The development twin of the new base, RAM-booted with PROJ held through the restart: MODULES SKIPPED showed.
  • PROJ held while switching on the previously flashed base: a normal start, no Startup Menu.
  • The off layout of the new base, built through the site's path and RAM-booted: started and answered over the USB link.

Not tested

  • The new dialog layouts in a browser by me: the owner looked at them on a local build; nothing was measured.
  • Visitor sharing end to end in a browser against production.
  • The new base flashed to a unit, from the card or over USB.
  • PROJ held from a cold power-on on the new base.
  • Any MKI. The repository's key tables list no PROJ key code for the MKI, so the hint gives the FUNC gesture for it.
  • The off layout's MIDI and audio behaviour on a host.
  • The whole journey on a unit starting from the original OS.
  • Several modules' current versions over USB on a unit (listed in the changelog).

Before merging

  • Improvement: add SNAP alignment to Octatrack sample editor #1165 also regenerates the base. Whichever of the two merges second has to rebuild the base on top of the other.
  • PREVIOUS_IDENTITIES in src/engine/elekloader/base-variants.ts covers only the step from 500cdb6f… and should come out with the next base.
  • One test expectation was narrowed and deserves a look: src/components/OctatrackHub.test.ts now allows FUNC in Setup only inside the skip hint's MKI wording.
  • Merging applies migration 0090 to production.
  • The privacy page changed in English and German (who can share, the visitor's random ID).
  • Existing testers: their consent lapses with the version bump and they are asked once more; their units are offered the new base and their modules are put back after it.

Improvement: a gate of its own for the Octatrack base path
d1d62a2 
The Octatrack base path (module sets, the Your Octatrack hub, the USB link and
sync dialog, the base install and its prompt) now has its own gate,
hasOctatrackBase, released by one switch, OCTATRACK_BASE_RELEASED in
src/config/octatrack-base.ts, which the Worker's base install prompt reads too
(memberOctatrackBase). Beta modules, the beta-only Zoom pedal pages
(hasBetaUi), the tester flag and invitations stay on the beta gate. The switch
stays off, so nothing changes for anyone; USB_LINK now only marks a dev build.

Octatrack base: PROJ held from power-on skips the module restore
2786850 
FUNC held at power-on opens Elektron's Startup Menu, so the FUNC skip needed
a press after the startup animation began. The restore now also skips when
PROJ (key 0x1c: row 3, bit 4 of the panel's held-key rows at 0x46100b18,
the code status.c and scripts/device.mjs use) is held; FUNC keeps working.
Same result and message (SKIPPED, MODULES SKIPPED). An MKI has no PROJ key.

The host tests now model the key rows: FUNC and PROJ skip, PART (PROJ's
neighbour in its row) does not, and a PROJ boot keeps the card's newest
generation as a FUNC boot does. Docs, the overview's card line and the
diagnostics label say PROJ or FUNC; the PROJ gesture is not yet run on
hardware. The committed base is regenerated in the next commit.

@repeat98 @claude
Improvement: at most 20 modules in an Octatrack module set for now
1746229 
Units showed DSP stalls and failed self-tests with 14 to 20 modules, so an
Octatrack set takes at most SET_MODULE_LIMIT (20) modules for now, from one
constant in src/catalog/set-limit.ts. Every module counts, machine group members
one by one; USB Audio (a base variant), stock-effect removals and the base do
not. Other machines are not limited.

Adding past the limit is refused in the workspace (toggleModule), and the
library's add notes, the module page, the comparison and the set's tiles show
it as unavailable with the reason. A saved, shared or imported set or a unit's
inventory over the limit still loads whole; it cannot be synced (site review
and sync in module-set.ts, the sync dialog), built as card firmware
(cardBuildError, so the page, the build worker and the MCP alike) or pass the
Worker's build-access check until trimmed, and each says its count. A smaller
set still syncs to a unit that holds more.

The sync dialog now checks paused modules with the member's real beta access,
so Air Chorus no longer passes for a member who is not a beta tester, and the
card build's refusal no longer says the base is in the beta.

Improvement: the module limit in the library's add notes and card button
90943cf 
Two hunks in shared files, kept apart for a hand merge: App wraps the
library's add notes with withSetLimit, and a library card shows a module the
full set cannot take as unavailable ("Full") like a USB-only one.

Server and contract for the Octatrack base release to everyone: identifier-free daily
counts of the base install guide's steps and the diagnostics invitation's answers by
placement (migration 0089, octatrack_count_daily, 30 days like the sync-action counts),
a client field (browser and OS family) and link_failed in opted-in reports, and consent
version 2026-11-11.1 so existing consents are asked again rather than widened.

DiagnosticsInvitation without onLeave offers Not now and Share diagnostics with equal
weight; DiagnosticsGuideStep for the base install guide's last step; the gate asks once
more after a failed sync or self-test or a fallback start (offerDiagnostics for other
places), never while the unit is busy, and not for 30 days after a Not now to it. The
collector adds the browser family to reports and records pre-link failures. The admin
diagnostics show the install funnel and the share rate.

Octatrack base: regenerate the beta base for the PROJ skip (4854b76c)
8dfeeac 
npm run octatrack:base -- --stock OS --beta --write with the reviewed GCC
16.2 (the same toolchain first reproduced the committed 500cdb6f base
unchanged), then octatrack:module-packages --base-only: the five base-bound
packages rebuild byte-identical and only their requiredBase follows the new
identity. The lease entries did not move, so the controller trust rows and
Analog BD's reviewed recipe are unchanged.

Base 500cdb6f... -> 4854b76c2c340e52a6f629853d9292bf40c545c6f2aa6220d137d69f32f4c9f5

Improvement: the base install guide for every member, in plain words …
5c0cfed 
…about USB

The Octatrack base install guide drops its beta framing and says how USB really
works: the original OS has no Modwerk USB link, so the first install is the
card file, copied in USB DISK MODE or with a card reader and installed with OS
UPGRADE; every later update goes over USB, with the card as the fallback. The
FAQ says the same, for the MKI and MKII. Problems go to the site's report forms
(REPORT_PROBLEMS); beta modules and beta pages keep #beta-testers.

The guide opens on a clear first view without a countdown, resumes at the card
step it left after a reload, closes by itself when the unit already runs the
current base, leads a visitor to sign in without holding up the install, and
takes two integration props for the diagnostics stream: diagnosticsStep, its
last view once the unit first connects on the new base, and onStage, told each
stage (and one failure category) at most once per run. The recovery notice
keeps its advice as BASE_RECOVERY_NOTICE; MODULE_SKIP_HINT holds the one
sentence about starting without modules.

Improvement: card firmware as a labelled fallback, and card-only modu…
d3bb5fa 
…les marked

On Your Octatrack the whole-image card build becomes "Card firmware without the
base", labelled Fallback and folded away where the browser can use USB: it is
for browsers without WebUSB and for the modules with no USB package yet, named
from the package list. A browser with USB is no longer pointed at it to sync a
set. In the library, those modules say "Card only" on their cards, marked like
"USB only", which loses its "in the beta". Setup keeps the way back to the
install guide before a unit connects, and the Status line for skipped modules
no longer names a key.

@repeat98 @claude
Improvement: Your Octatrack walks a member through the base install once
b96716f 
The install guide now opens on the Your Octatrack page, not anywhere on the
site. The connected unit decides: the original OS opens it whatever the account
says, a current base never does, and an older base still gets the one-step USB
update wherever the member is. With no unit connected, the account's record is
the hint for a member and this browser's for a visitor; a browser without WebUSB
gets no guide. A signed-out visitor on Your Octatrack is led to sign in, and the
page loses its Beta badge. App passes the guide's diagnosticsStep and onStage
from one commented place, as placeholders.

Improvement: the beta is new modules first, and diagnostics an offer
d03d82d 
The beta join prompt, the beta invitation and the testers' note now describe
what stays in the beta (new modules first, the beta-only pages, #beta-testers)
instead of USB loading, which is everyone's. Diagnostics after the note are
offered with Not now instead of Leave beta, once per visit, and the confirmation
for leaving says the Octatrack page, the base and USB sync stay once the base
path is released.

Octatrack site: a base install or update without a layout gets USB Au…
36b0798 
…dio off

Owner, 11 November 2026: every member's base starts as USB MIDI alone. The
firmware worker builds MEMBER_LAYOUT ('off', the published variant patch)
when no module set asks for a layout; a set with the USB Audio module still
asks for its layout and the site switches the base over USB as before.

The committed package stays the twenty-channel layout: as the package,
'off' would patch four stock audio sites fewer than every other layout, and
octatrack-base.mjs refuses a variant that patches a site its default
leaves alone. No base bytes or identities change here.

Improvement: the base install guide's steps are counted, with the rea…

…sons it can report

Each run of the guide now reaches countBaseInstall. The anonymous count takes exactly
the guide's failure reasons (BaseGuideFailure is derived from BASE_INSTALL_FAILURES),
and anything else is stored as other; link-timeout, which the guide never reports, is
no longer one of them.

Improvement: the base install guide ends with the diagnostics question
8971db5 
A member who doesn't share diagnostics gets DiagnosticsGuideStep (still lazy) as the
guide's last view once the unit connects on the new base. Once offered it stays until
the guide closes, so the answer and Continue stay in view after sharing turns on. Not
now in the guide is stored as the answer to the first-connection invitation as well,
so that one doesn't follow, on this visit or the next.

The guide's USB update failure path and the hub's DSP_STOPPED line now offer the
one question after a failure (offerDiagnostics), the stall once for each base and
running set, as the privacy page already says.

@repeat98 @claude
Improvement: the link reports why connecting failed before it existed
9cf78f6 
octatrack-link.ts sends link_failed through its own diagnostic channel: no-device
when the device picker closes without an Octatrack, permission-denied when opening
is refused (standing in for that attempt's open-failed), and no-webusb when the
member connects or opens the install guide in a browser without WebUSB. Nothing
before a link exists has a timeout, so link-timeout leaves the contract, the
invitation's "What gets shared" and the privacy page.

@repeat98 @claude
Improvement: "Start from what's on it" takes the whole set, and "Add …
8728ad8 
…to set" says when it can't

Filling an empty set from the Octatrack adds every module at once, as an import
does (workspace.addModules), so a unit with more than 20 gives a set that shows the
over-limit message instead of one cut off at 20. The project's missing modules are
added all or none: past the limit the note says how many are too many instead of
adding some of them.

Improvement: a welcome to modules over USB, once, for whoever never h…
003e4dd 
…ad the base

With the base path released, a visitor or member who never had the Modwerk base (the
guide's own authority: a connected unit, the account's record or this browser's) is
greeted once on the Octatrack's pages: what is new, the way there in three steps, what
it needs and the way back. "Set up my Octatrack" opens the install guide on Your
Octatrack; "Build card firmware instead" opens the card fallback in Setup, and is the
main button in a browser without WebUSB. Every build and sync button leads to Your
Octatrack, so it is met there first; once answered it stays away in this browser (there
is no per-member record without a new table) and can be read again from Setup. The guide
and the beta invitation keep away while it is due and on the visit it opened.

Improvement: opening the install guide answers the welcome

Nothing passes onLeave any more, so the invitation's beta-requirement branch, its
"Needed for the beta" line and its test go. A tester whose consent predates the
current version gets the ordinary dismissible invitation once: a Not now to it, or
to the invitation anywhere else, is remembered in this browser like the first
connection's (invitationAnswered in diagnostics-sharing.ts), instead of it coming
back on every visit.

Improvement: report forms send testers to Discord only for beta modules
d9a8283 
BetaReportReminder now shows only in a report about a beta module (a module's own
form, or a set holding one), and says that the base, a sync and released modules
belong in the site's forms. The Digitakt and Digitone form drops it: none of their
mods is a beta module.

Improvement: no beta left in what the Octatrack base path says
6e0b465 
A base that started its previous one asks for a report through Your Octatrack instead
of #beta-testers; a base without live load asks for the current base, not a "beta
base"; Samples is a work in progress, not beta. Comments that said who reaches the hub,
the sidebar card or the module set words name the base path, and the card record's
key is no longer named FUNC.

testers get the ordinary invitation once; stale lines make room so the file doesn't grow.

Fix: a card build refusal names USB again where it isn't open yet
edcd52c 
With the switch off, a member outside the base path who picks a module that needs the
base is told that loading modules over USB isn't open to everyone yet, instead of only
"take it out": the frontend MCP's catalogue test expects the refusal to name USB, and
it was red since the gate commit. With the switch on, everyone gets the sync advice.

The base dialog takes the layout of the set being synced or edited when no other

(or one first install from the card), instead of USB Audio off and a second update.
Without the module the base installs with USB Audio off, and an update from a base
that had USB Audio, or one the site can't tell, says so before it runs. The previous
base's seven identities (500cdb6f…) are known for this one transition only.

Since the base path opened to everyone, the library offered USB-only modules and the
card build pointed to USB sync in Firefox, Safari and on phones too. Both now follow
whether this browser can use the USB link here (WebUSB on a computer, browserHasUsb,
the check the welcome already made): without it the module is marked USB only and
refused at the add, and the card build's refusal says to open Modwerk in Chrome or
Edge on a computer. Nothing changes in a browser with USB.

edbaf9e 
The hub and the install guide said signing in keeps the Octatrack's setup with the
account. Module sets live in this browser; an account lets a member report problems,
share diagnostics if they choose, and lets the site remember that their Octatrack has
the base. The guide now says signing in is optional.

It now waits, as the welcome and the re-ask do, until no other dialog is open and

still opens over anything.

…xactly as seen

Edge case 15 records the owner's MKII results: MODULES SKIPPED with PROJ held through
a RAM boot of the new base's development twin (513be133…), PROJ at power-on on the
previously flashed base starting normally, and the off layout (d891acb3…) RAM-booted
and answering status. Not done: the new base flashed, PROJ from a cold power-on on it,
any MKI, the off layout's audio and MIDI on a host. The layouts' evidence file gets
a dated line for the off layout.

Fix: the module-skip hint is true for both models, and says what was …

…confirmed

Hold PROJ while you switch it on, and on an MKI, which has no PROJ key, press and hold
FUNC as soon as the startup animation begins (case 15, done on hardware 12 October).
The comment names what was seen on hardware and what wasn't.

Fix: a guide that opens by itself is counted once per browser and base
c3aab8c 
For a visitor the install guide opens by itself on each visit until this browser reads
a unit with a base, and every opening sent base_guide_opened, so the count measured
visits. An automatic opening now counts once per browser and published base (a small
localStorage flag); one the member opens always counts. The admin read-out says these
are openings, not people.

Docs: the changelog says how a base update treats USB Audio, and the …
bb24451 
…other fixes

The PROJ base's entry states plainly that USB Audio is off by default, that a set with
the USB Audio module keeps its layout through an install or update, and what an
existing tester streaming audio should do before updating; the MKI's FUNC gesture is
given as the hint gives it. The release entry adds the USB-only refusal in browsers
without USB, the put-back limit note, that signing in is optional and module sets stay
in the browser, and how automatic guide openings are counted.

…ly that

The check that Setup names no FUNC key predates the hint's MKI wording. FUNC held from
power-on opens Elektron's Startup Menu, so the check stays for everything but the hint,
and the hint may name FUNC only as pressed once the startup animation begins.

… the firmware build gate

The same rule and prompt as the card build (MemberGate): a verified member with a
username passes; anyone else meets "Sign in to build firmware", which a guest may
skip after five seconds, once for the page. Signing in from the guide sets it aside
and opens it again at its steps on the page it was left from. No server call was
added: /api/auth/build-access checks module ids only, and the base has none.

Not yet in this commit: tests for the gate, the APP_DEVELOPMENT sentence, pr:ready.

Improvement: visitors can share diagnostics, a clearer ask, a larger …

…welcome picture

- Diagnostics without an account: consent and reports under the hash of a random
  ID the browser makes only on Share (migration 0090), with limits per ID and
  address; stopping deletes both. Privacy page, consent texts and docs updated.
- The install guide's last step leads with why a report helps; Share diagnostics
  is the main button (owner, 11 November 2026) and Continue waits for an answer.
- The welcome and the guide's first view are wider with a larger picture.
- Setup: the Modwerk base section stands out; What's new reopens the welcome
  with a base installed; the unfinished Samples page is off the list.
