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 footoperated polymeter stompbox for the stage: drive it handsfree with two heavy
footswitches and an expression pedal, read it off the floor from a big RGB beat light, and run your
instrument through it with the click mixed in. (For a desk/lesson unit with a full screen, see the

<h2>Designed for</h2>
<p>Live use, handsfree. The controls are built for feet: the <b>left footswitch</b> taps tempo (hold to
start/stop), the <b>right</b> steps through your set list (hold for previous), and a <b>1/4″ expressionpedal
input</b> sweeps tempo on the fly. A large RGB <b>beat light</b> is readable from standing height, with a
small angled TFT for the BPM, item name and beat. Your instrument passes through (1/4″ in) with the click
summed in the <b>analog domain</b> and sent to a balanced 1/4″ TRS out for the desk. Powered over USBC —
with a <b>second USBC "thru" port</b> so several pedals daisychain off one charger or power bank.</p>
