Me Here 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.

<div class="tags"><span class="tag hw">Hardware</span><span class="tag">Inline practice bar</span><span class="tag">~$35 oneoff</span></div>
<p class="lead">A long, narrow practice bar you patch <i>into</i> your signal: instrument in one end, amp or
headphones out the other, the click mixed in. One clickable thumbroller does everything, an amber
14segment display shows tempo and track names, and it runs over USBC — a wall adapter or a power bank.</p>

<h2>Designed for</h2>
<p>Practising plugged in — at the desk or on the go. It sits inline in your signal chain: a 1/4″ TRS input on
one end, USBC and a 1/4″ TRS output on the other, with the metronome click summed into your signal in the
<b>analog domain</b> (and a small monitor speaker). No menus — a single clickable thumbroller does it all
(roll = tempo, press = start/stop, hold + roll = switch track), and the amber 14segment display shows the
BPM or the track name. Powered over USBC — a wall adapter for a permanent practicespace install, or a
pocket power bank when you're mobile (no internal battery to wear out); ships with the editor's grooves built in.</p>
<h2>Bill of materials</h2>
<p class="sub">Rough parts list — a USBCpowered RP2040 inline bar with analog click injection.

<p class="sub" style="margin-top:12px">Like the Teacher, the click is summed in the <b>analog domain</b>: a highimpedance
buffer of the 1/4″ instrument input is mixed with the DAC's click and sent to the 1/4″ output and the monitor
amp — your instrument is never redigitised (no added latency).</p>
