Evilander/newamp

[1.16.0] - 2026-07-02

The master-plan release: four of the five planned flagships in one pass
(notes/newamp-master-plan-fable5.md), plus the go verdict on the fifth.

Added

• Clip Studio — save the moment that already happened. While the Eviland
  Live stage is up, a WebCodecs ring buffer continuously holds the last 15
  seconds of the full composition (MilkDrop + scenes + reactor) with engine
  audio. Shift+R — or the "⏪ Save last 15s" button — muxes exactly that
  window and finishes it to a shareable MP4 (H.264/AAC, NVENC when your GPU
  offers it). No "wish I'd been recording" ever again. Skipped on the Lite
  performance tier. Gate: smoke:clip-replay proves ring → WebM → MP4 with
  real pixels and correct duration.
• Wrapped Live — your year as a video. Wrapped grew a WRAPPED LIVE
  button: a 30-second, six-chapter 1080×1920 film of your listening
  (count-up totals, artist bars, track reveals, genre arcs, the 24-hour
  listening clock, your sound) scored to your top track — with a Silent
  toggle for copyright-bot-wary sharing. Gate: smoke:wrapped-live.
• NewAmp Remote — your phone is the remote. Settings → Radio Brain now
  shows a QR code; scan it and your phone gets a full remote over Wi-Fi:
  album art, title, scrub, volume, prev/play/next, live via server-sent
  events — no cloud, no app store, no account. And the important part:
  every Radio Brain route now requires this install's secret token
  (playlist links embed it automatically). The server previously answered
  to anyone on the LAN; that hole is closed regardless of whether you use
  the remote. Audio streams also honor HTTP Range now — the advertised
  header used to be a lie, so phone scrubbing re-downloaded whole files.
  Gate: smoke:remote (401s, SSE, control whitelist, ranges) +
  smoke:radio-brain updated for auth.
• Ask Your Library — plain English in Ctrl+K. Type three or more words
  ("warm slow stuff from the 70s I haven't played this year") and the
  palette compiles it — fully offline — into year ranges, tempo caps,
  loved/rating filters, played-recency exclusions, and DNA-based
  warmth/energy re-ranking, showing "Understood: 1970s · slow (bpm ≤ 95) ·
  warm-leaning · not played this year" as chips so you always see exactly
  what ran. Unknown words still search titles/artists/genres. Short queries
  behave exactly as before. Gate: test:query-intent (10/10 canonical
  phrases).

Under the hood

• Smart rules gained notPlayedSinceMs (recency exclusion had no primitive
  before) and optional DNA energy/brightness re-rank targets — boosts, never
  filters, so un-analyzed tracks still surface.
• New shared eviland-live compositor module powers both press-to-record and
  the replay ring; WebM→MP4 finishing lives in one place
  (electron/video-mux.ts).
• Bit-Perfect Mode spike: GO. Vendored miniaudio opened true WASAPI
  exclusive mode on real hardware at 48k and 44.1k via a custom N-API addon
  built with the local VS2022 toolchain. Full integration (the plan's §5) is
  next. Note: the previous audify/RtAudio plan was disproven — RtAudio's
  WASAPI backend cannot do exclusive mode.
