v0.2.1 — M1.1 Devices & Plug-ins (alpha)

Release fix on top of M1.1 — Devices & Plug-ins. v0.2.0 was tagged but never published: its
release build failed on a timing assertion in the tests.

Fixed

• The test that a slow plug-in loads in the background bounds the insert by the plug-in's load time
  instead of a fixed 300 ms, which a CI runner can exceed (#138).

Also in this release (v0.2.0 was never published)

Milestone M1.1 — Devices & Plug-ins: native devices v2, plug-in hosting in a sandbox, plug-in
windows and lucide icons.

Added

• EQ Eight v2 and Compressor v2 native devices, edited on their graphs (#67). EQ Eight: drag a
  node for frequency and gain, wheel for Q, double-click to switch a band; eight bands with type
  and on/off, pre/post spectrum, Q-width shading, St / L-R / M-S, Adaptive Q, audition. Compressor:
  drag the threshold on the Transfer graph, Transfer / Activity views, IN / GR meters, Lookahead,
  Peak / RMS / Expand, Makeup Auto / Mix / Out. Each gesture is one undo step.
• Device cards for native devices and plug-ins (#66). A native card can be Folded, Compact or
  Expanded. A plug-in card shows vendor, format, up to 4 pinned parameters edited inline, and CPU,
  latency and sandbox state; a missing plug-in offers Locate and Replace. The chain ends in
  a drop zone.
• Plug-in windows (#68) with host chrome: Bypass, presets, A/B compare, latency, CPU, sandbox
  state and UI scale 100 / 150 / 200 %. A plug-in's window opens when it is inserted, with a toast
  offering Undo and an Auto-open window on insert switch. One window per instance; position, pin and scale
  are saved with the Project. Esc / Mod+W close the focused window, Mod+Alt+P shows or hides
  them all.
• Plug-in sandbox (#69): each plug-in runs in its own process by default. A crashing plug-in
  bypasses only its own device, playback keeps going, and Reload brings it back with its last
  saved state. Run in-process can be set per plug-in and is saved with the Project.
• Plug-in scanning out of process (#78): a plug-in that crashes or hangs the scan is listed as
  Failed to scan with Retry, and the rest load. Browser rows show a VST3 / AU / CLAP badge.
• A native Mixer Insert opens its device in a floating window, like a plug-in insert; plug-in
  inserts look different from native ones (#70).
• The lucide icon set, sized and coloured by role (#79).

Changed

• EQ Eight v2 and Compressor v2 replace the v1 EQ and compressor in the device list. Projects that
  use the v1 devices still load them.

Fixed

• Inserting a sandboxed plug-in no longer blocks the app while it loads; export, bounce and freeze
  wait for plug-ins that are still loading (#134).
• A sandboxed plug-in's CPU % is the plug-in's own time in its host (#136).
• Undo right after a new track or a plug-in insert keeps Redo (#133).
• A plug-in insert that is refused leaves no partial undo step.
• Shortcuts typed in a plug-in window reach Resamper.

Known issues

• AUv3 and other plug-ins that load asynchronously run in-process, outside the sandbox.
• A plug-in that finishes loading during playback can cause a short gap.
• Moving a plug-in's controls doesn't record automation yet (M3).
