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">The fullfeature desktop console: a colour readout of every lane, fast setlist navigation, and
your instrument running straight through with the click mixed in — the handson unit for a studio desk or a
teaching room, on a nonreflective matteblack case. (For handsfree live use, see the footoperated

<h2>Designed for</h2>
<p>The studio desk and the teaching room. Topmounted 1/4″ jacks keep cabling tidy; you plug your
instrument in, the metronome click is summed into the signal in the <b>analog domain</b> (no redigitising,
no added latency) and sent to a balanced 1/4″ TRS output for the desk or interface, plus a small monitor
speaker. Powered over USBC — a wall adapter, or a power bank. The colour TFT shows tempo, the item name,
and all lane patterns; arcade buttons + a recessed thumbroller make it quick to drive while you teach or track.</p>
<h2>Bill of materials</h2>
<p class="sub">Rough parts list — a desk/studio RP2040 build (USBC powered) with analog click injection.
