         <h3>🦀 Native‑Rust firmware — PM_K‑1 (RP2350 / Pico 2)</h3>
         <p>An experimental native‑Rust build of the Kit firmware: one <code>no_std</code> core (track codec + scheduler,
-          validated against the same golden vectors as the web and CircuitPython builds) plus per‑board drivers. Currently
-          a bring‑up image (boot + display); it grows one driver at a time.</p>
+          validated against the same golden vectors as the web and CircuitPython builds) plus per‑board drivers.
+          It now runs as a working metronome — boots, drives the ST7796 display, plays built‑in grooves with audio
+          clicks, and has a drum‑notation view. Controls: <b>A</b> = play/stop, <b>B</b> = grid/notation, joystick =
+          tempo &amp; groove. (Alpha; built and reviewed in a host simulator.)</p>
