Cockpit - #1

New src/main/projectfile.js: validated read/write at user-chosen paths
(atomic write, app-dir refusal, 8 MB cap), id-gated template listing,
recents pruning, streamed sha256 for media. Registers
project:openDialog/saveDialog/read/write/recent/templates/readTemplate
and files:statAudio; preload exposes them. HUD now names WASAPI loopback
(SYSTEM AUDIO) instead of falling through to NO AUDIO.

cutTo(id) swaps slots without the 0.1 s fade floor; crossfadeTo routes
sub-0.12 s requests through it. prewarm() compiles one cold scene per
frame after a project apply. A ResizeObserver on the canvas makes the
stage safe in a grid cell. Knobs 0-2 are no longer hardwired in the
frame loop — engine.params {hue, intensity} takes their place and
autoVJ.fadeTime stops being overwritten every frame (app.js carries a
change-driven shim until the assignment router lands). setFrameHook()
reserves the router/transport slot. applyProject() loads the .sway
shape, replaying fx params through the rack's clamping. fxrack now
exports DECKS beside RANGES (drops the three phantom keys, surfaces
audioReactive and asciiAccent).

src/renderer/audio/transport.js plays the timeline's audio track through
AudioBufferSourceNodes scheduled on the context clock (sample-accurate
seek, clip fades, loop region) and reports visual-lane clip entries to a
single subscriber. src/renderer/project/projectstore.js owns the .sway
document lifecycle: open/apply hydration order, sequential media loading
with decoded-size pre-flight, collect() reassembly, save/saveAs, and
media registration for the kit. Both ride the existing analyser bus, so
timeline audio drives the visuals like every other source.

src/renderer/control/router.js owns the project's assignment table and
dispatches pad strikes (sample / scene cut-or-fade / momentary fx punch),
learned-CC button toggles, note routing (assigned pads stop double-firing
the synth; Theory Engine pitches still reach it), change-driven knob
targets, and per-frame gesture routes (gestures win on shared targets,
held punches re-assert last). It runs inside the engine frame via
setFrameHook, drives the transport's visual lane (autoVJ suspended while
the timeline owns the stage), records the last-touched control for the
surface UI, and is midi.learn's first caller. midi.js now emits cc events
and carries pad indices on note/noteoff; keyboard pads route through the
router, wiring sampler.release for gate mode.

One always-live page replaces the five screens: top bar (project,
transport, scene readout, pills, deck buttons), scene bank + auto group,
center stage, assignment rail + input box, timeline band (ruler with
loop region and locators, visual clip lane, audio waveform lane,
playhead), and the Sway deck — a stroke line-art schematic of the
hardware with live LED beam, sensor field, gesture chips, knob arcs,
pads, and buttons, sharing one control-id grammar with the router so
click-to-select and hardware touch land on the same node. Deep panels
(synth, rack, kit) live in a drawer that never stops the render loop;
docs and the system checks are modals; the blast door reveals the
already-running stage on ENTER. Projects open and save as .sway files
from the project menu; AKSWAYJ_AUTOPLAY takes a template id or a .sway
path. Bundled Source Code Pro replaces remote fonts (CSP has no
font-src).

The 8 legacy projects/*.json and the projects:list channel are gone —
templates are the only bundled projects now, and each ships its pool on
the right-cluster pads as instant cuts. AKSWAYJ_WINDOW=WxH forces an
initial window size for narrow-layout screenshots; __akswayj gains
renderTimeline. Assign-rail number inputs keep a readable minimum width.

Every bundled doc, the README, and the internal handoff now describe the
single-page cockpit, the .sway format, the assignment model, and the
current probe surface — claims verified against source, links and
headings checked. Audio-lane clips gained pointer hit-testing (select,
move, trailing-edge resize) closing the gap the review found.

Product name, wordmarks, window title, preload global
(window.swaycommand), automation handle (__swaycommand), env hooks
(SWAYCOMMAND_SHOT/_SHOT_DELAY/_PROBE/_AUTOPLAY/_SCENE/_WINDOW), appId,
installer artifact, launcher scripts, and every doc. Note: the Electron
userData directory follows the product name, so settings saved under the
old name (learned MIDI overrides, legacy kit) are not carried over.

…ironment

The engine renders scenes into half-float targets, runs UnrealBloomPass
per scene (meta.bloom or a live instance.bloom, strength crossfaded with
the scene mix), and hands scenes a PMREM RoomEnvironment through
ctx.environment so black-chrome ports finally have something to reflect.
io gains strike (max pad energy) as the morph dimension scenes read.

lattice.js is a full-fidelity rewrite of theDAW's engine: the complete
373-node body (strands + cuboctahedron core + reactor) and 756-beam
topology (rings, inter-strand rungs, core edges, spokes), positions
easing at upstream's rate so geometry changes pour, the morphEnergy
shockwave, per-shape core scales / node factors / bloom multipliers, and
upstream bloom numbers live-modulated. Strike advances the geometry and
fires the shockwave; sway morphs the filament field; nothing merely
rotates.

…alley

fxrack gains anaglyph (depth-scaled red/cyan stereo separation with
counter-rotation at high drive) and mosaic (grouted tile quantiser with
per-cell brightness hash), both arm-gated and free at zero. Default knob
assignments now put glitch / anaglyph / mosaic / echo trails on knobs
4-7 with the kit level on 8, and driving any rack target switches the
rack on. valley.js is the faithful theDAW landscape: verbatim terrain
maths, fbm plasma sun with halo and palette-tinted point light,
starfield, fog-to-black, engine bloom — and sway morphs the terrain
itself from liquid chrome to magnetic spike field, strike quakes the
ridges, press dives between them.

The black chrome finally has something to reflect: the engine's PMREM
RoomEnvironment plus upstream's three-point rig and GLSL3 backdrop dome,
under upstream's bloom (1.65/0.4/0.6). Rosensweig maths verbatim; the
one documented deviation makes the declared-but-unread spikeDensity
uniform actually scale the winding (identity at default). Strike cycles
the spike density and surges amplitude, sway glides density/viscosity
from oily swells to needle forests, press crushes the field into
mirror chrome. Stage luminance ~11% versus the old ~1%.

Verbatim upstream plate maths (mode tables, getCymaticValue, central-
difference normals) on the 160x160 chrome platform with RoomEnvironment
reflections, the backdrop dome, upstream's light rig and bloom, the
spectral-centroid mode index, and the cover camera. Strike hits the
plate and jumps the nodal mode with a ring-down; sway bows the mode
table continuously; press damps the plate; pulse drives it.

Sway no longer leans cameras: it spreads and cross-tilts the beam array
into a crossing lattice, splits the swarm's murmuration into orbiting
cells, winds the ribbons from silk sweeps into tight coils, and deepens
the wormhole's flare/twist/fold topology. Strike re-patterns each
generator: column phase and palette reseed, scatter shock with a
reforming attractor, a whipcrack impulse traveling every ribbon, and a
hyperjump that reseeds the tunnel's layers.

Sway re-weights the nebula's fbm spectrum and rotates its flow field
from laminar sheets into curl storm cells; glides the mandelbulb's power
across 6..12 (the canonical morph) with press diving the camera; and
lifts the cymatic orb's four resonance-mode numbers from sparse arcs to
dense weaves. Strike ignites a traveling density front in the nebula,
hops the mandelbulb into a new julia basin by the golden angle under a
glow flash, and jump-seeds the orb's modes with a ring-down envelope.
The orb's rotation-only sway response is gone.

Sway sweeps the VJ shader through its preset parameter space (bulb
power, julia constant arcs, box scale, KIFS fold angles, flythrough
rush) with zero-at-rest morph vectors preserving the upstream idle;
strike kicks the active preset's structural parameter, jumps the seed
scrub, and pads 5-7 step presets. Spectra gains a staged layout morph —
log/lin axis warp, mirrored-pair to multi-fold comb, planar terrain to
radial burst — while strike slams a full-band impulse through the mel
machinery and jumps the layout seed. The resting shear bias is gone.

The scene starts coasting in deep space — blackbody-tinted starfield,
a limb-darkened G-type star with corona under bloom, faint palette
nebulosity. A strike engages warp: stars streak along great circles
toward the direction of travel with relativistic aberration crowding
the sky forward and Doppler blue/red shift fore and aft; sway sets the
velocity around center. Pressing down to the sensors opens the wormhole:
thin-lens deflection bends the background around the mouth, an Einstein
ring brightens at the photon radius, the throat shows another region of
sky, and transit swaps the seed — you come out somewhere else. Bright
stars carry a widened point spread with a clamped peak so bloom mips
stay round. Auto rotation now stays off until a project decides,
closing a boot race. Docs pick up the 38-param rack, the new knob
defaults, ctx.environment, io.strike, per-scene bloom, and the morph
contract.

…default

PAD_CELLS follows the user's numbering: top rows first, left cluster 0-3,
right cluster 4-7, then the bottom rows 8-11 / 12-15; the assignment panel
shows PAD n 0-based.

defaultKnobs() is empty, the factory templates lose their fx and intensity
knobs (hue, fade length, kit level stay), and the router reconciles fx every
frame: a key no assignment drives any more is reset to its rack default, and
a rack that a control switched on switches off again when nothing drives it.
fxrack exports DEFAULTS for that and holds the radial-spoke wheel still.

Autonomous rotation removed everywhere (coast yaw, kaleidoscope spin, solid
spin, orb spin, camera drifts and auto-orbits, revolving cell ring, star-field
roll, phyllotaxis spin, nodal-spoke drift, Voxels' slow orbit); hand-driven
orbits, flow, scroll, breathing and path travel stay.

Every custom ShaderMaterial now sets glslVersion THREE.GLSL3 with in/out,
out vec4 fragColor and texture(); maths unchanged. onBeforeCompile injections
into three's built-in materials keep three's conventions by necessity.

… into

Forward motion only. The stars themselves are the hyperspace streaks
(instanced screen-space capsules along each star's line of flight, random by
construction; sway morphs the distribution toward a lattice). Warp rides X
and Y and peaks at the highest X, lowest Y; a jump ends at a new celestial
object - pulsar, spiral galaxy, solar system, nebula, ringed giant - ray-cast
analytically on one quad. PAD 7 opens a raymarched Schwarzschild black hole
with an edge-on accretion disk, Doppler beaming and a photon ring, and the
ship falls in; PAD 8 / PAD 15 bank. Bundled template carries the track.

One instanced mesh of axial-billboard beam quads; the fragment shader
crossfades the three styles on io.knobs[3] (0.5 = laser), smoothed so the
knob's speed is the transition's speed. Floor with impact pools and
reflection streaks, dust that catches the beams; sway fan/cross-tilt and
strike re-seed kept; fixed eye.

Grips on the rails, timeline, deck and the assign/input split (double-click
resets), a collapse chip per region, sizes and collapsed state persisted in
settings.layout, composing with solo view.
