Each form-factor page is now plain by default: title + summary + the front view +
a program I/O box (shared src/progbox.* — paste a patch OR a base64 set-list code,
decoded + linted + loaded; copy; reflects the device state and posts it to an
embedding parent). All technical content — description, BOM, dimensions, top/side
views, embedding — hidden behind a "Show technical info" checkbox; ?info=1 opens it
checked. Teacher's top-edge view + dimensions are marked .tech so they hide too.

- Remove the VCSL sample kit entirely (editor 351K → 141K). All voices are
synthesized; the friendly GM names now alias to the punchier 808/909 renders
(KIT_ALIAS). build.sh drops the @BUILD:samples inlining; assets/samples.json gone.
- Conventions (backward-compatible): GM note-number aliases (36=kick…), '-'/'_'
rest aliases in step patterns, Euclidean (k,n[,rot]) shorthand.
- Per-lane gain in dB (@<db> in the grammar) applied as a velocity multiplier at
schedule time — no stutter; threaded through every host's buildMeters + the
editor's lanes (knob UI comes in Phase B).
- 15/15 engine round-trip tests pass; pages console-clean.

- Shared header/footer/chrome (src/header.html, src/footer.html, src/chrome.js)
now on every page: editor (header above its app toolbar), player, teacher,
stage, micro, showcase, embed. chrome.js defers to DOMContentLoaded so the
footer version stamps regardless of placement. Player's fullscreen toggle
relocated out of the header to a floating control.
- Open = Info: each form-factor page is self-contained — a more-detailed
description (.about) + an expandable "Spec & BOM" (<details class="spec">,
hidden in embed). info-*.html retired; build/deploy/README updated.
Next: teacher-style dimensioned front + top/side views + loading panels for
Stage, Micro and Showcase.

- Concepts is now the landing (/): index.html is the form-factor gallery with the
LIVE widget embedded in every box (editor/teacher/stage/micro/showcase/initial),
on the shared header/footer. concepts.html retired; every "Concepts" link → /.
- New shared chrome partials src/header.html, src/footer.html, src/chrome.js
(assembled by build.sh) + .site-foot / details.spec styles in base.css. Applied
to the landing + showcase this pass.
- Showcase redesign per spec: the pendulum bar IS the display — each lane's
subdivisions/accents ride along the rod as moving RGB light (all meters combined);
transparent outside the body (no black window); a printed tempo scale on the
vertical axis with a draggable weight to set tempo; start is an external button
(the real unit starts when lifted from its holder).
Next pass: roll the shared header/footer onto the remaining pages (incl. the editor
header-above-toolbar), merge Open=Info into one page per form factor with the
expandable Info & BOM, and add teacher-style dimensioned views to Stage/Micro/Showcase.

Sync: the visual playhead now advances on a latency-compensated clock
(currentTime − outputLatency||baseLatency) so the on-screen pulse lands when the
click is HEARD, not when it's queued — previously the visual could lead the audio
by the output buffer / Bluetooth latency (up to ~a subdivision). Applied to
editor, player, teacher, and the new pages; also bound the visual queue (vq trim).
No data races: single-threaded; only the rAF draw touches vqPtr/currentStep, and
each vq entry carries the exact scheduled time of its sound.
stage.html — foot-pedal stompbox: two heavy footswitches (Tap=tempo / hold=start-
stop, Next=item / hold=prev), 1/4" expression-pedal input → tempo sweep, big
floor-readable RGB beat light + angled TFT, analog instrument pass-through.
showcase.html — pyramid display piece: an RGB-light pendulum easing to each beat
plus per-lane segment rows showing subdivisions/accents/mutes (canvas).
Both: dual USB-C (data+power and power-thru) to daisy-chain off one source.
Wired into embed.js (stage, showcase variants), build.sh, deploy.sh, the
concepts gallery + landing cards, info-stage.html (~$52) + info-showcase.html
(~$39) with BOMs, and the README.
