Previously every device .html bundled its full narrative (purpose, BOM,
dimensioned drawings, embedding docs) inside a #techinfo block that embed
mode (?embed=1) only CSS-hid — so every embedder and every landing-page
iframe downloaded all of it (showcase 77%, teacher 49% of the file) for
content no embedder ever sees.
Now:
- <device>.html is the lean widget only: header + front view/controls +
title + summary + program box. ?embed=1 still collapses to the bare
widget; the heavy narrative is gone from the payload.
- info-<device>.html (new, one per form factor) carries all the words —
purpose, dimensions, priced BOM, embedding docs — and embeds the live
widget at the top via the existing iframe + auto-resize protocol
(new shared src/infoembed.html + src/infoembed.js).
- Each device links out to its info page ("…dimensions & BOM →"); the
landing panes and viewport bar now offer both Open ↗ and Specs & info ⓘ.
- Dropped the now-dead "Show info" toggle (CSS + progbox.js).
Branding: adopt the official VARASYS "tagline on the bottom" logos from the
brand kit (light-background variant now matches; dark already did). The
tagline is baked into the PNGs, so remove the CSS .brand-tag / .dev-tag
spans and the showcase canvas-drawn tagline. Brand cyan #0AB3F7 / navy
#1C283F already match the official palette.
build.sh / deploy.sh: build + deploy the six new info-*.html pages.

Logos: the brand is now a consistent lockup — wordmark image + a crisp CSS
"Simplifying Complexity" tagline — in the shared header, device silkscreens
(teacher/stage/micro), the player (was a CSS text box) and the showcase canvas
(was drawn text; now the real logo image + tagline). Cropped the baked tagline
out of logo-light.b64 so both themes render the tagline once. Renamed device
silk logos to .dev-logo so they no longer shrink the shared header logo.
Embeds: every form factor now loads its default set lists when embedded with no
config — and the Concepts landing embeds them that way (viewport loads
<device>?embed=1 with no forced #p=; the program box reflects what the device
reports and only overrides on explicit Load).

- Embed page: a form-factor dropdown that rewrites every snippet (drop-in +
plain iframe), the live demo, and the name for the chosen version; variant
table completed to all six.
- Display (Showcase): the tempo weight no longer flashes and is drawn BEHIND the
pendulum lights so it never hides a beat flash.
- Practice (Micro): a beat/sub-beat flash — the whole 14-seg display washes amber
on each step (subtle on sub-beats, brighter on the beat, full on the "1"),
latency-compensated like the other devices.
- Landing: Philosophy section moved above "Pick a form factor".

- Add front + top/side dimensioned schematic views (inch + mm) inside the
"Show info" section of Stage (front + top-edge I/O), Practice (front bar +
both end faces), and Display (pyramid front + side profile). Shared .dview /
.dschem CSS in base.css.
- Fix: progbox.js now defers to DOM-ready, so the "Show info" toggle + #techinfo
are wired even when they sit after the page script (Stage/Practice/Player were
silently not toggling / ignoring ?info=1).

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.
