6aeca94222 PE-1 editor display: match the device (always-elapsed, ramp, device link)
Bring the web editor's display in line with the PM_K-1 device screen:
- Elapsed stopwatch is always visible and counts while playing (was gated behind
  the Timers switch); the switch now governs only the countdown.
- Tempo-ramp indicator in the display (↗/↘ amount/everyBars), shown whenever a
  ramp is active — mirrors the device's ramp arrow.
- Header "device" badge that lights green with the port name while a PM_K-1 /
  PM_X-1 is connected over USB-MIDI, updated live on connect/disconnect. The
  editor requests MIDI on load (Chrome remembers the grant) so it reflects the
  link automatically; the badge is also click-to-connect.

editor-beta.html (separate live-sync variant) left as-is.

8bba218f67 Editor controls for playback flow + close web-side divergences
- docs/playback-flow-test.md: on-device verification checklist for the runtime
  (stop / rep / next / relative-goto / boundary / manual-override cases).
- editor.html + editor-beta.html: graphical "At end" control (loop / next / stop /
  goto ±N) plus a rep-count input in the arrangement panel, wired through
  state.rep/state.end -> currentSetup/currentPatch. Authoring is no longer
  text-field-only.
- src/engine.js: patchToSetup now clamps tempo to [5,300] and defaults to a beep:4
  lane when no lanes are given, matching the firmware. The editors keep their
  "no lanes" hint by checking the raw input for a ':' token instead of parsed lanes.
- fixtures: tempo-clamp-high + empty-defaults-to-beep now pass on both engines.

Suite: 41 pass / 1 known (only the intentional vol/cd host boundary remains).

da7c94e67f Implement per-track playback flow (rep / end / relative goto)
Adds the per-track end-action model designed in docs/track-format.md §3, end to
end across both engines, both firmwares, and the editors.

Grammar (parsed + serialized by engine.js and both app.py):
  rep=<n>     cycles before the end-action fires (default 1)
  end=stop    stop after rep cycles
  end=next    advance one track (sugar for end=+1)
  end=<±N>    relative goto after rep cycles (e.g. end=-2 = D.S.)
  (absent)    loop forever — the metronome default

Firmware runtime (pico-cp + pico-explorer): _on_new_bar now consults a per-track
_end_plan() and fires stop / gapless-advance / relative-goto at the right bar.
A cycle = b<bars>, else one master bar; fire bar = rep * cycle. Explicit end=
governs; with no end, the global Continue toggle stays a default (=end=next, still
needs b<bars>) so existing set-lists and the CONT UI are unchanged. _prepare_next
takes a target index; the seam machinery, _do_advance and live-sync all carry rep/end.

Editors (editor.html + editor-beta.html): state.rep/state.end thread through
applySetup / currentSetup / currentPatch so load -> edit -> save preserves the
flow; authoring is via the program-string field (no graphical control yet).

Tests: the 3 playback-flow vectors now pass on both engines (39 pass / 3 known).
Runtime decision logic (_end_plan / _goto_target) unit-tested for stop, rep,
relative goto clamp/wrap, and legacy-Continue precedence. Codec round-trip
verified idempotent. Both firmwares compile + mpy-cross clean.

Also: untrack stale __pycache__/*.pyc build artifacts and gitignore them.

3805c5ee00 PM_X-1 0.0.4 + editor push diagnostics
Layout fixes (user reported BPM/time were still bumping the header at 0.0.3):
- All Y coords below the header divider shifted down 6px: BPM 30->38,
  time 32->38, bar 44->50, train 52->58, setlist tab 66->72, title 82->88.
- GRID_TOP 104 -> 110.

Restored the Kit-style footer practice log:
- LOG_TOP=218, LOG_ROWH=14, LOG_ROWS=6.
- MAXLANES dropped from 6 visible to 4 visible (rowh capped at 26 so the grid
  doesn't run into the log). Tracks with more lanes still play silently.
- _build_scene now appends g_log (with a divider above it).
- draw_log() draws the current-track log into the footer; load() + _log_play()
  + the seam apply path all call it. The Practice-log menu entry is kept for
  the full scrollable history.

Editor diagnostics for the firmware push (the user got chunk-1 ACK then the
device's MIDI badge went gray, meaning chunks 2+ never reached it):
- editor.html + editor-beta.html _pushFirmware() now logs every MIDI output
  + input it sees along with which ones _isDevicePort() matched, plus per-
  chunk send/ACK timing for the first 3 chunks and any failed chunk.
- This narrows down whether the failure is (a) wrong-port routing
  (filter doesn't match the Pimoroni Explorer's name), (b) ACK never arriving
  back to the host, or (c) chunks sent fine but the device's RX buffer is
  dropping them.

ea7bb9bfee PM_X-1 0.0.3: compact 240x320 layout + piezo polarity flag + Pimoroni device filter
Three fixes the user reported on 0.0.2:

1. Layout still overlapped. 0.0.2 ported the Kit's pixel positions verbatim,
   but those were designed for 480 px of height; on 320 the same Y values
   stack on top of each other. This pass actually scales everything down:
   - BPM big number was FONT_L (~30 px tall) -> FONT_M (~16 px tall).
   - Time + bar meters were FONT_M -> FONT_S, tightly stacked at y=32/44
     instead of y=50/78.
   - Setlist tab + CONT y=66 (was 118); track title y=82 (was 134).
   - GRID_TOP=104 (was 138). Frees ~34 px more vertical room for the
     pad grid.
   - Modal panels: PX/PW shrunk to use less of the 240-wide canvas, RH
     22 (was 26), inter-line spacing 13-14 (was 14-16). Title strings
     trimmed ("Practice log" instead of "Practice log (this track)").

2. No sound from the piezo. Two likely causes:
   - SPEAKER_AUTO_MUTE was True. Live sync sends a FULL heartbeat over
     USB-MIDI every 5s; the firmware sees those bytes and treats it as
     "host listening" -> mutes the piezo. Default now False on Explorer
     (toggle to Auto in Settings if you ARE using "Device audio" in the
     editor).
   - AMP_EN polarity. Added AMP_EN_ACTIVE_HIGH config flag (default True)
     and a _amp(on) helper. If your specific board's amp is active-low,
     flip to False at the top of CONFIG.

3. Firmware push stalled at chunk 1. Editor's _isDevicePort() only matched
   "pico" / "circuitpython" / "usb_midi"; the Pimoroni Explorer reports
   under a different name, so the editor broadcast to all MIDI outputs
   and the ACK got lost in routing. Filter now also matches "pimoroni",
   "explorer", "rp2350", and "varasys" (future-proofing).

The .mpy build dropped from 29.8 KB to 29.3 KB (smaller font footprint plus
fewer modal hint strings).

3192f3debc PM_X-1 0.0.1: Pimoroni Explorer sibling firmware + Kit 0.0.23 device-id reply
Adds pico-explorer/ as a parallel CircuitPython firmware target alongside the 52Pi
Kit in pico-cp/. Same engine, same program-string grammar, same programs.json, same
live-sync protocol. Read-only on the device (no on-device beat editing); the web
editor's Live sync mirrors all edits in real time and the Explorer emits its own
play/stop/bpm/sel deltas back.

Hardware (Pimoroni Explorer PIM744):
- RP2350B + 2.8" ST7789V 320x240 LCD (8-bit parallel; CircuitPython's official
  board definition pre-builds the BusDisplay so we just use board.DISPLAY).
- 6 user buttons - A/B/C on the left of the screen, X/Y/Z on the right.
- Piezo speaker on GP12 (PWM) with amp enable on GP13.
- I2C QwSTEMMA on GP20/21 - reserved, unused by the firmware.
- No touchscreen, no joystick, no RGB LED. Run state shows on a tiny on-screen dot.

Buttons:
- A = play/stop. B = tap tempo. C = menu.
- X = prev track (hold-repeat). Z = next track (hold-repeat).
- Y = tempo -1 (hold-repeat; -5 after 1.5s).
- X+Z chord = tempo +1 (mirrors Y).
- In a menu: X/Z move the row cursor, Y decrements, A cycles/increments/selects,
  B = back, C = close.

Files added:
- pico-explorer/{boot.py, code.py, app.py, programs.json, README.md}.
  app.py = 1444 lines (~73KB source -> 29.8KB compiled .mpy).
- info-explorer.html.

Files touched:
- pico-cp/app.py: bump to 0.0.23. Version-query (SysEx 0x02 -> 0x03) reply now
  includes the device id as "K;<version>" (backward-compat: editor parses
  "contains ';'?" - old firmware sent bare version, treated as K).
- editor.html + editor-beta.html: _parseDeviceReply() splits id;version, FW_PATHS
  maps id to .py/.mpy URL pair, so Update firmware now pushes the right binary.
- build.sh + deploy.sh: precompile pico-explorer/app.py -> dist/explorer-app.mpy,
  zip pm_x1_circuitpy.zip alongside pm_k1_circuitpy.zip, ship
  pico-explorer-app.{py,mpy} next to pico-cp-app.{py,mpy}.
- docs/livesync-protocol.md: new section 7 - per-device emit/apply matrix.

f637a65abd Push reliability: 10s ACK timeout + per-chunk flush + periodic GC
Push to 0.0.14 stalls at ~150 chunks with the MIDI badge going gray (=device silent for
>1s). It's an occasional slow flash flush on the device side — the file buffer fills,
flush takes several seconds, the editor's 4s timeout cuts it off too early.

- Editor: bump per-chunk ACK timeout 4s -> 10s; progress log every 25 chunks now with
  elapsed seconds so you can see it advancing through a slow chunk.
- Device 0.0.14: flush per chunk (small, predictable per-chunk cost instead of
  infrequent multi-second bursts) + gc.collect() every 50 chunks to keep the heap
  fresh during a long push.

30f02305e5 Editor: pause the Device-audio heartbeat during a firmware push
Push advanced to ~150/506 chunks then stalled intermittently. With Device audio on, the
heartbeat (0xFE every 250ms + a clock SysEx every ~3s) shares the MIDI link with the
firmware chunks and intermittently costs a chunk its ACK. Pause the heartbeat for the
duration of _pushFirmware and resume after.

937e7c332d Editor: fix firmware push stall - small chunks + send only to the Pico
Trace showed the push reaching "pushing" then stalling. Two causes: (1) _send went to
ALL MIDI outputs incl. "Midi Through Port-0" (a loopback that just echoes back); (2) the
512-char chunks overran the Pico's USB-MIDI receive buffer, so the device never saw the
end of a chunk's SysEx and never ACKed.

- _send now targets only the device port (name match pico/circuitpython/usb_midi; falls
  back to all outputs if none match) - no loopback echo.
- Firmware chunks 512 -> 64 base64 chars (a SysEx that fits the RX buffer); log progress
  every 50 chunks + a "committing" line so the console shows it advancing.

Editor-only; hard-reload to pick it up (no firmware change).

c5cc329185 Editor: add console breadcrumbs to updateFirmware to diagnose a silent no-op
User reports the updater does nothing with no visible error. Every code path shows a
dialog, so it's bailing before/at one of them (likely browser dialog-suppression making
confirm() return false, a stale/cached editor, or an uncaught throw). Log each step so a
console trace pinpoints where it stops.

7481f91935 PM_K-1 0.0.10: ship precompiled app.mpy (fixes boot OOM) + push .mpy over the air
The single-file app grew to ~57KB; CircuitPython compiling it at boot fragments the
RP2040 heap so badly that the fonts can't get a contiguous block (161KB free, yet a
~16KB alloc fails). Fix: precompile to app.mpy (Adafruit mpy-cross for CP 10.2.1, emits
CircuitPython mpy v6) so the device loads bytecode without compiling -> no fragmentation.

- build.sh precompiles pico-cp/app.py -> dist/app.mpy via tools/mpy-cross (gitignored
  binary); the bundle ships app.mpy (NOT app.py); serves pico-cp-app.mpy + pico-cp-app.py
  (the .py only for the editor's version regex + as readable reference).
- Loader (code.py) imports app.mpy and rolls back app.bak as .mpy.
- One-click updater now pushes the .mpy: editor base64-encodes it and sends it over the
  existing flow-controlled chunked transport (512-char = mult-of-4 chunks); the device
  base64-decodes each chunk to /app.new and verifies the CircuitPython .mpy header
  (magic 'C', v6, >=4KB) before the A/B install. Version still read from the served .py.

Verified: mpy-cross emits magic 'C'/v6; build produces a 21.8KB app.mpy; editing-logic
harness + scene render still pass; and a simulated push (base64 -> 57 chunks -> a2b_base64)
reassembles the .mpy byte-exact and passes the device's header check.

One-time recovery: delete app.py from the drive, copy app.mpy + code.py from the new zip.
After that, updates are one-click again (and can't brick: header check + A/B rollback).

2d243c9ef8 PM_K-1 0.0.8: built-in playlists (baked, read-only) vs user playlists (separate)
The standard editor defaults (Styles / Practice / Song) are baked into app.py as
BUILTIN_SETLISTS (ASCII-fied — emoji/accents would break the 7-bit push + the fonts),
so they update with firmware and the user can't change or delete them. User playlists
live separately in programs.json and are merged after the built-ins.

Device:
- Set-list model: self.setlists = built-ins + user lists (deduped by normalized title,
  so a baked built-in always wins). load()/goto() work within the current list.
- Navigation: a set-list "tab" (small, above the title) shows playlist + position,
  muted for built-in / cyan for user; TAP it to switch playlists. Joystick L/R = item.
- SysEx 0x10 (push) writes programs.json -> rebuild user lists; built-ins untouched.
- Shipped programs.json is now empty ({"setlists":[]}) — built-ins come from firmware.

Editor:
- "Save to device" now syncs only YOUR set lists (filters out the built-in seeds) in the
  new {setlists:[...]} format; warns if you have none. Load-from-device imports both the
  new multi-list and old flat formats.

Verified in the harness: 3 read-only built-ins, set-list switching, user-list merge +
dedup of a pushed "styles", and the ramp engine on a built-in track (80->84->88, +4/4 bars).

5e71df6b17 PM_K-1: chunked firmware transfer (reliable), LED run/stop indicator, revert bg tint
APP_VERSION -> 0.0.6. Device firmware + editor change in lockstep — one-time manual
copy of 0.0.6 needed (the broken single-shot updater can't deliver it).

Update transport (fixes the failed/bricking updates):
- Editor now pushes app.py in 512-byte flow-controlled chunks: begin(0x21,len) ->
  data(0x22)* -> commit(0x23), waiting for each ACK before the next. A single ~38KB
  SysEx overran the device's USB-MIDI input buffer and arrived corrupt.
- Device writes chunks straight to /app.new, and on commit verifies length + no NUL +
  App().run()/APP_VERSION present before the A/B install; rejects (NAK) otherwise and
  keeps the working build. All errors caught -> never bricks.

Run/stop indicator moved off the screen onto the RGB LED (per feedback that recoloring
the whole background is wrong — it forces a full-screen SPI repaint and fringes the
anti-aliased text):
- Dim GREEN when stopped ("on"), dim RED while playing; the beat pulse flashes brighter
  and now decays back to the running base instead of to black. Background is static black.

e24a39e4e8 Firmware update: file-picker fallback so the OFFLINE on-device editor can update too
The editor that ships on the device opens via file://, whose null origin can't
fetch() anything — so "Update firmware" died at the download-the-latest step
(CORS-blocked) before the USB-MIDI push. Now _firmwareSource() tries the site
(same-origin on the https editor; absolute URL when online) and, failing that,
lets the user pick app.py — mirroring the programs.json download/drag fallback.

e8945ee1d1 PM_K-1: one-click A/B firmware updates over USB-MIDI (+ version check)
Split the CircuitPython firmware into a tiny stable loader (code.py) + the application (app.py,
carries APP_VERSION). The editor's ⋯ → "⬆ Update firmware" queries the device version (SysEx 0x02
-> 0x03 reply), fetches the latest app from the site (/pico-cp-app.py), shows device-vs-latest, and
pushes the new app.py over USB-MIDI (SysEx 0x20). The device installs it to a trial slot (old build
kept as app.bak), reboots, and the loader AUTO-ROLLS-BACK to app.bak if the new build fails to start;
a build that runs cleanly ~5s is confirmed (clears /trial). No BOOTSEL, no dragging; Chromium/Firefox.
app.py forced to pure ASCII so it pushes raw (no base64); SysEx buffer raised to 60KB.

build.sh/deploy.sh: bundle code.py+app.py and serve /pico-cp-app.py. Docs updated.

Verified in CPython: version reply, update install+reboot+ACK, rollback file dance; editor loads clean
with the updater wired.

7d743c18a1 PM_K-1: appliance model — push-programming over USB-MIDI, on-device practice log, swing fix
Firmware (pico-cp/): the Pico now owns its filesystem by default (boot.py), so it can save the
practice log and write editor-pushed set lists; the drive is read-only to the computer, which also
protects the firmware. Hold button A at power-on for editor mode (drive writable; universal drag).
  - Replaced the on-screen touch buttons with an on-device PRACTICE LOG (time · BPM · duration ·
    track), newest-first, persisted to /history.json next to programs.json. Plays < 5s aren't logged;
    tap a row twice to delete it. Real timestamps once the editor syncs the clock.
  - USB-MIDI SysEx receiver: clock-set (0x01 -> RTC) and program-push (0x10 -> write programs.json,
    reload, ACK/NAK). disable autoreload so our own writes never self-restart.
  - Fixed swing: the parser was discarding the 's' flag, so /2s never swung. Now the scheduler uses a
    per-step duration with long-short (2:1, SWING_RATIO 2/3) pairs on even subdivisions, matching the
    web engine. Verified: ride:4/2s -> 266/133ms vs straight 200/200.

Editor (editor.html): requestMIDIAccess({sysex:true}); Save to device now pushes programs.json as
SysEx to the device (+ clock sync), waits for ACK, shows "Saved ✓", and falls back to downloading the
file (drag onto the drive in editor mode) when no device answers. Heartbeat also keeps the clock synced.
Web MIDI works in Chromium AND Firefox; the drag fallback covers any browser/OS incl. Safari.

Docs (pico-cp/README, info-kit, README) updated for the two modes, push programming, and the log.

cc56741483 PM_K-1: on-screen MIDI indicator + auto-mute buzzer when a host is listening
The editor's 'Device audio' now sends a MIDI Active-Sensing heartbeat (0xFE, every 250ms)
to the device while on. The firmware reads usb_midi.ports[0]; while it hears the heartbeat
(<1s) it shows a green 'MIDI' badge top-right and silences the buzzer (the computer plays);
~1s after it stops, it reverts to the buzzer and hides the badge. Manual MUTE_BUZZER still
works. Verified headless: host detected -> MIDI shown + buzzer duty 0; timeout -> reverts.

aaf5c4d260 editor: MIDI 'Device audio' diagnostics (show device name + pulse on note)
User reported no computer audio + 'no device being controlled'. Add visibility to
diagnose: the button now shows the connected MIDI input's name (or 'no device'), the
toggle alert lists detected inputs, and the button pulses green on each Note-On
received — so it's clear whether the device is seen and whether notes are arriving.
Also call ensureAudio() in the message handler as a guard.

7ccc75e399 Phase 3: USB-MIDI audio — play the device through the computer's speakers
Firmware (pico-cp/code.py): on every click, send a USB-MIDI note-on per firing lane —
GM drum note by voice (SOUND_GM), velocity by level (accent/normal/ghost) — via the
default-enabled usb_midi.ports[1]. Polyphonic, so the computer plays the full groove.
New CONFIG: MIDI_ENABLED (default on), MUTE_BUZZER (silence the buzzer when using
computer audio).

Editor (editor.html): a '🎹 Device audio' toggle uses the Web MIDI API
(requestMIDIAccess) to voice incoming notes through the existing synth — Note-On ->
GM_NUM[note] / velocity-to-gain -> playInstrument(). The device is the clock; the
browser is the sound module, locked in sync. Chrome/Edge.

Verified: firmware emits the right notes (kick+hat on beat 1 of four-on-the-floor,
snare's rest skipped); editor loads clean with the toggle + handlers present. Docs
(info-kit, both READMEs) updated. The on-device buzzer/screen still work standalone.

d558dccbde Phase 2: editor 'Save/Load to device' + bundle the editor on the drive
Add to the editor's set-list ⋯ menu:
  - 📟 Save to device — writes the active set list as programs.json (the same file the
    PM_K-1 firmware reads). Uses the File System Access API to write straight onto the
    CIRCUITPY drive (Chrome/Edge); falls back to a download to drag on. Reuses
    setupToPatch() per item -> {title, programs:[{name, prog}]}.
  - 📥 Load from device — reads a programs.json back into a new set list (patchToSetup
    per item; reuses the existing import path).
Bundle the built editor.html into pm_k1_circuitpy.zip so the drive carries its own
offline programmer. info-kit + pico-cp/README document the workflow.

Verified: editor loads with no console errors; both menu buttons + all four functions
present; zip contains editor.html. (FSA save needs a real user gesture to test on-device.)

31111abbcb Phase B — landing rebuild + editor program I/O + per-lane dB knob
Editor: per-lane gain knob (drag/scroll/double-click, dB, applied at schedule

Landing (Concepts) rebuilt to the spec: description first, the EDITOR open by
default in a live viewport, a summary pane per form factor (click loads it into
the viewport), and a program I/O box that shows the current program decoded (not
base64), accepts plain text OR a base64 set-list code, lints it, loads it into
the viewport, and copies it. Viewport auto-sizes + reflects the device's posted
program. Engine codec inlined for decode/lint.

4babd1f4ef Phase A — engine v2: drop samples, add conventions + per-lane dB gain
- 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.

1c74100065 Restructure (2a): shared chrome on every page; merge Open=Info into one page per form factor
- 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.

be00ebf097 Restructure (1/2): Concepts = landing with live embeds; shared chrome partials; Showcase redesign
- 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.

17053719f1 New Stage (foot-pedal) + Showcase (RGB pendulum); fix audio/visual sync
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.

f0cc30f373 Dedicated landing page at /; move the editor to /editor.html
The site now opens on a proper front door: a hero (logo + tagline + pitch),
an "Open the Editor →" CTA, and form-factor cards (Editor, Stage, Micro, Embed)
linking out to each page + info. The PE-1 editor app moves from index.html to
editor.html; every "Editor"/"Open" link, the embed.js editor variant, and the
editor's own brand-logo (now → /) are repointed. build.sh + deploy.sh build and
publish both index.html (landing) and editor.html (app).
