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.

- 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.

The full-feature desktop console (big TFT, arcade buttons, instrument pass-through)
is repositioned as the "Teacher" for studio desks and lessons:
- stage.html -> teacher.html, info-stage.html -> info-teacher.html (git mv)
- all links/paths, the embed variant (stage -> teacher), nav, cards, embed docs,
README, build.sh + deploy.sh updated; deploy cleans the stale live stage files
The "Stage" name is now free for a forthcoming foot-pedal stompbox (/stage.html).
