Me Here 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.

<p class="lead">A metronome as an object: the silhouette of a classic pyramid windup unit, but the swinging
pendulum is pure <b>RGB light</b> — a glowing bob easing to the beat just like the mechanical original — with
rows of light beneath it showing every lane's subdivisions, accents and mutes.</p>

<h2>Designed for</h2>
<p>The shelf, the studio, the shop window — a beautiful, glanceable tempo reference that's a pleasure to watch.
The RGB pendulum swings in perfect time (decelerating to each extreme exactly as a weighted rod would), and
the segment rows turn your polymeter pattern into a light show: accents glow amber, normal steps cyan, ghosts
soft violet, mutes stay dark, and the playhead sweeps each lane. It runs the same grooves as everything else
(load any program string), plays the click through a small speaker, and is powered over USBC with a second
"thru" port to daisychain. No instrument I/O — it's a showpiece, not a signalchain tool.</p>
<h2>Bill of materials</h2>
<p class="sub">Rough parts list — a USBCpowered RP2040 display piece driving addressable RGB light.
Ballpark oneoff prices (USD); cheaper at volume.</p>
