Surfaces the detector's timing on every hit (the charrette's last item), fully
highway-side: notedetect already dispatches the judgment (timingState/timingError)
on notedetect:hit/miss, so we carry timingState onto the event mark and tint the
hit's spark burst + the ✓ verdict glyph by it — on-time green, early cyan, late
amber. Gracefully falls back to green when no timing is known (pure-provider path),
so it never invents data. Behind the new "Timing feedback" toggle (default on).
Charrette: 8/8 complete.

The single biggest fidelity lever from the charrette. Core had only
three.module.min.js (no postprocessing addons), so this vendors the r170
EffectComposer/RenderPass/UnrealBloomPass/OutputPass + their shader deps into
static/vendor/three/addons/, with every `from 'three'` rewritten to the SAME
vendored three (../../three.module.min.js) so the addons share the plugin's
three instance (a CDN copy would be a second, non-interoperable module).
highway_3d wiring:
- Lazy-loads the addons only when the new `bloom` setting is on (dynamic import),
builds EffectComposer(RenderPass → UnrealBloomPass(strength .65/radius .5/
threshold .82 — high so only emissive gems + the hit flash bloom) → OutputPass).
- Render loop uses composer.render() with ACES tone-mapping when bloom is active,
else the unchanged direct ren.render() with NoToneMapping (bloom-off = today's look).
- Perf-gated: OFF in splitscreen; graceful fallback to direct render if the modules
or composer fail; composer.setSize on canvas resize; disposed on teardown.
- settings.html: "Glow bloom" toggle (default on).
Verified the import chain resolves + renders via a same-origin module-load test
(EffectComposer built + a bloom frame rendered, three r170).
Charrette status: 7/8 (only #5's early/late timing tint remains — a notedetect
verdict-field change, outside the highway).

- #3 (completion) gem scale-punch: the hit gem briefly grows (1 + 0.22·hitFx·alpha),
biggest at the strike and easing with the verdict — the per-gem impulse.
- #7 streak heat: a renderer-side consecutive-hit counter eases a 0..1 "heat"
(plateau at 16) that grows the spark burst + warms the strike-line idle glow;
a miss eases it back down. Behind the Streak-feedback toggle.
- #6 colorblind verdict marks: a redundant ✓ (hit) / ✗ (miss) glyph on the verdict
via the existing 2D label overlay, so the green/red pair isn't the only signal —
notably also covers the provider path (where the timing labels don't show).
- settings.html: Streak-feedback + Accessible-marks toggles.
Deferred: #4 bloom+ACES (needs the Three.js postprocessing addons vendored into
core static/vendor/three/ — not present; warrants its own infra change), and #5's
timing tint (the early/late ±ms labels already render on the event path; surfacing
them on the provider path needs a notedetect verdict field — a cross-plugin item).

Charrette wave 1 (additive, default-tasteful, all behind settings):
- #8 Hit-feedback settings: hitFx (0..1), cinematic, verdictMarks, timingFx,
streakFx in BG_DEFAULTS + h3dBgSet* setters + settings.html (intensity slider +
cinematic toggle). hitFx=0 → colour verdict only.
- #2 Cinematic lighting: ambient 0.85→0.35 + stronger key light when cinematic on,
so emissive gems have a dark surround to pop against. Live-toggleable.
- #1 Strike line: a glowing bar at the hit line (Z=0) that flashes green on a
verified hit / red on a miss, eased from the per-frame verdict alpha.
- #3 Hit sparks: a pooled additive Points burst at the gem on a verified hit
(deduped one burst per note), scaled by hitFx; disposed on teardown.
Staged for wave 2 (after dogfooding): bloom+ACES (#4), colorblind verdict glyphs
(#6), early/late timing tint (#5), streak heat + clean-bar (#7), gem scale-punch.

Addresses the altitude finding from the Butterchurn review: the visualizer's
on/off + slider options shipped as a parallel UI (a ~140-line floating
in-canvas control panel) separate from the plugin's standard settings panel.
Move the standard controls (Background on, opacity, dim-behind-lane + strength,
chart accents + strength, color tint + strength, guitar gain, song gain) into
settings.html, using the plugin's normal settings UI. They persist into the
same 'viz3d_settings' blob the controller already reads; a new module-scope
window.h3dBcApplySettings() hook lets settings.html push changes to a mounted
highway live (it invalidates the controller's settings cache and re-applies).
The in-canvas panel is now ONLY the live preset browser (pick / favorite /
ban / cycle / hold / meters) — things that are inherently live tools and don't
belong in a static settings form. cyclePool/hold and the favorites/bans lists
stay there; reads were made cache-safe (read fresh via _bcLoadSettings) so a
settings.html write can't be clobbered by a stale captured reference.

* feat(highway_3d): add Butterchurn visualizer background style
Adds an opt-in "Butterchurn (visualizer)" option to the 3D Highway plugin's
Background-style dropdown. When selected, the highway renders over a WebGL
MilkDrop (Butterchurn) canvas that reacts to your playing (guitar input on
desktop, the song <audio> spectrum in the browser) and the chart (beat/note/
chord accents + instrument-color tint). The default stays 'particles', so
existing users see no change until they pick it.
Integrates the standalone "3D Highway + Butterchurn" mod into the bundled
renderer as the 'butterchurn' bg-style (not a fork):
- a self-contained _bc* controller that lazy-loads the vendored butterchurn
libs only when the style is selected; mount/unmount is driven idempotently
by the existing bg-style lifecycle (_bcSyncMode in _bgMountStyle) plus an
explicit teardown in destroy()
- the renderer uses alpha:true with the transparent clear gated on the mode,
so every other bg style stays byte-identical (opaque clear)
- the fog-scenery <audio> tap is disabled while active to avoid a double
createMediaElementSource on #audio
- the mod's slopsmith* globals are adapted to the current feedBack* names and
the vendored asset URLs repointed to /api/plugins/highway_3d/assets/
Vendors butterchurn.min.js + butterchurnPresets.min.js (MIT) + viz-worklet.js
under assets/vendor/; see plugins/highway_3d/NOTICE for attribution.

* fix(highway_3d): anchor Butterchurn panel to the highway, centered
Addresses three issues found testing the visualizer control panel:
- Attach the panel + preset pane to the 3D highway's `wrap` (position:absolute,
pointer-events:auto) instead of position:fixed on document.body, so they sit
on the highway's right edge and only exist while the highway is on-screen
(no longer linger on the main menu / float at the app edge).
- Re-home the singleton panel to the active highway wrap on mount, so it follows
whichever highway is showing (e.g. moves off Virtuoso's embedded highway onto a
normal song's highway) instead of sticking to the first one created.
- Center it vertically (top:50% + translateY(-50%), folded into the slide
transform) so a top overlay element no longer covers it.

* fix(highway_3d): harden Butterchurn audio + lifecycle (review #597)
Browser audio reactivity now REUSES the highway's existing shared analyser
(the fog scenery's #audio / stems side-chain tap) instead of opening a
second createMediaElementSource on #audio. The old _bcBrowserSource path:
- threw InvalidStateError when the fog tap already owned #audio (default
config), leaving the visualizer non-reactive in the browser, and could
permanently disable fog reactivity if it tapped first (one-shot/element);
- rerouted the song through a fresh, possibly-suspended AudioContext, which
could MUTE playback when butterchurn was selected mid-song;
- ignored the stems analyser, so it saw only silence on sloppak songs.
_bcCreateController now takes an audioProvider (wired to _bgGetAnalyser) and
connectAudio()s the shared AnalyserNode (a passthrough, so the fog's own
reads are undisturbed).
Also:
- destroy() now closes the AudioContext when we own it (desktop / browser
fallback), fixing a per-mount leak that hit the browser ~6-context cap
after a few style toggles. The shared (fog-owned) context is never closed.
- _bgApplyVenueSceneFog keeps the clear transparent while butterchurn is
active, so the venue scene no longer occludes the visualizer.
- _bcLoadLib no longer caches a rejected promise, so a transient vendor-load
failure can be retried instead of disabling the feature for the session.

* fix(highway_3d): Butterchurn lifecycle + audio re-bind (Codex preflight)
Local Codex preflight on the Butterchurn feature flagged four issues; all fixed:
- WebGL context leak on teardown: destroy() (and the async-init failure path)
now call _bcReleaseCanvasGL() to force WEBGL_lose_context before dropping the
canvas, so repeated mount/toggle cycles can't exhaust the browser's WebGL
context cap.
- Stale shared analyser across songs: the browser path captured the analyser
once at mount, so a sloppak stems swap (new analyser, often new context) left
the visualizer reacting to a dead node. update() now compares the live
_bgGetAnalyser() against what the controller actually bound (boundAnalyser(),
guarded by ready()) and either reconnects (same context) or rebuilds the
controller (context changed) via the proven destroy()+_bcSyncMode paths.
- Half-mounted controller on createVisualizer failure: the async .catch now
cleans up (closes an owned AudioContext, removes layers, marks dead) and
_bcSyncMode retries when bcCtrl.dead(), instead of leaking and never recovering.
- _bcFfIdx off-by-one dropped accents landing exactly on a seek/loop target
time; it now uses strict < so the update walkers fire the boundary event.

* feat(highway_3d): add one-click string-color presets
Adds 12 named string-color presets (Warm→Cool, Vivid, Colorblind-friendly,
Neon, Accessible, Warm Ember, Tape Deck, CRT Green/Amber, Pitch Ramp, Sunrise)
selectable from the 3D Highway settings panel.
Extends the existing core HWC (highway-color) subsystem in static/app.js with
HWC_PRESETS + applyHighwayStringPreset(), exposed on the existing facade as
window.feedBack.highwayColors.{presets, applyPreset}. The plugin settings page
renders the preset buttons from that core list and refreshes the per-string
pickers on apply. Purely additive — stock behavior is unchanged.
Scope: core static/app.js (the shared HWC facade both highways consume) plus the
highway_3d plugin's settings.html / screen.js / CLAUDE.md.

* fix(highway_3d): address review of colour-theming PR
- Rebuild assets/plugin.css so the new `flex-wrap` (preset row) and
`text-[10px]` (theme-dropdown helper) Tailwind classes are actually
compiled, and bump plugin.json 3.26.0 -> 3.27.0 so the <link>'s ?v=
cache-buster fetches the fresh CSS (per the plugin's build rule).
- Replace the mirror-at-every-read hwTheme migration with a one-time
backfill (persist hwTheme := bgTheme on first load, no emit). The two
scene-color axes are now genuinely independent: changing the Background
dropdown no longer silently retints the Highway surface/lane, and the
rendered highway can't disagree with the Highway dropdown value.
- Collapse the duplicated theme id-set in settings.html (two identical
<option> lists + VALID_BG_THEMES) into a single SCENE_THEMES source the
dropdowns and validator are generated from; sync points 4 -> 2.
- Update CLAUDE.md to document the backfill + reduced sync contract.

* Update GitHub repo references from feedback* to feedBack*
* rename: slopsmith -> feedBack, byron -> got-feedBack
Renames across the entire codebase:
- slopsmith/Slopsmith/SLOPSMITH/SlopSmith -> feedBack/FeedBack/FEEDBACK/FeedBack
- byron/Byron/Byrongamatos -> got-feedBack/got-feedBack/got-feedBack
- /home/byron/ -> /opt/got-feedBack/
- byron@ougsoft.com -> hi@got-feedBack.org
- github.com/byrongamatos/ -> github.com/got-feedback/
- com.byron. -> com.got-feedback.
- SLOPSMITH_ env vars -> FEEDBACK_ with backward-compat fallback
- Protocol/storage strings migrated with read-old/write-new pattern
- window.slopsmith JS API -> window.feedBack (canonical) + backward-compat alias
Refs: #rename-slopsmith
* rename: complete regen against current main + fix backward-compat alias
Regenerated the slopsmith->feedBack / byron->got-feedBack rename on top of
current main (3 commits had landed since the branch: #572/#554/#574),
resolving the four content conflicts in favour of main's newer content
(autoplay/auto-exit, accuracy-badge, Virtuoso re-home, feedpak badge).
Completion fixes on top of the mechanical rename:
- Re-apply rename to post-branch content the original rename never saw:
window.slopsmith(.Tour) consumers in lessons.js / notifications.js /
onboarding-tour.js, and the matching JS + python tests (autoplay_exit,
progression_*, test_feedpak_extension FEEDBACK_* env vars). The test env
vars now match server.py (which reads FEEDBACK_SYNC_STARTUP /
FEEDBACK_SKIP_STARTUP_TASKS), so the sync-startup test exercises the real
path again.
- Restore the window.slopsmith backward-compat alias dropped during conflict
resolution, and move the bus aliases to AFTER the _feedBackExisting merge
block so they reference the fully-assembled object (also fixes the
loop_api.test.js API-surface regex, which the original PR latently broke).
- Drop the stray empty data/web_library.db (runtime DB lives in CONFIG_DIR)
and gitignore it.
- Fix stale tone-source test: feed[dB]ack -> fee[dB]ack to match shipped
source labels.
Verified locally (org CI billing-blocked): JS 819/819 pass; pytest 1669
passed / 1683 collected with 0 import errors; zero residual slopsmith/byron
except the two intentional window.slopsmith aliases.

* rename: implement advertised backward-compat + prune dead community plugins
Address gaps where PR #537's "Backward compatibility" section was advertised
but not implemented, and clean up the community plugin list.
Env vars (FEEDBACK_* canonical, legacy SLOPSMITH_* honoured):
- New lib/env_compat.py (getenv_compat / env_flag_compat) + tests. server.py
(_env_flag + all FEEDBACK_* reads), diagnostics_hardware, gp2midi and
tailwind_rebuild now resolve the legacy alias, so existing SLOPSMITH_UI /
SLOPSMITH_PLUGINS_DIR / etc. deployments keep working.
- Fix the rename collapsing plugins/__init__.py and minigames/routes.py from
`FEEDBACK_PLUGINS_DIR or SLOPSMITH_PLUGINS_DIR` into a redundant
`FEEDBACK_ or FEEDBACK_` (the fallback was silently lost).
Storage (app.js update-channel):
- Read feedBack-update-channel, fall back to legacy slopsmith-update-channel,
and clear the legacy key on write — so a user's update-channel preference
survives the rename instead of resetting to "stable".
Community plugin list (README): the rename rewrote third-party repo URLs we
don't own. Probed every one; their owners never renamed, so:
- Restore the 13 live community plugins to their real slopsmith-* names.
- Prune 6 that are 404 to the public (topkoa splitscreen/stems, OmikronApex
tuner, Jafz2001 nam-rig-builder, DeathlySin song-preview, Erikcb91 shuffle).
- Fix a pre-existing Guitar Theory clone-command typo (nam-tone -> guitar-theory).
Verified: env_compat 7/7, JS 819/819, pytest 1690 collected / 0 import errors,
rename-sensitive + startup suites green.

window.h3dSetFretSpacing was the only 3D-highway setting that applied via
location.reload(). The SPA boots with #home as the active screen and has
no restore-last-screen mechanism, so the reload ejected the user from
Settings onto the home screen.
Apply it live like every other 3D-highway setting: rebind the module-scope
_h3dFretUniform flag (so panels mounted later this session pick up the new
mode), recompute the two fretX-derived scalars baked at init
(_fretLabelScaleRefW, FRET_WIDTH_MID), and broadcast a 'fretSpacing' change
over the existing _bgEmitChange pub-sub so every mounted panel rebuilds its
board via buildBoard(). Per-frame note geometry already reads fretX live.
Settings copy updated (no longer reloads) and tests/js pin the no-reload /
live-rebuild behavior.

Reword comments/docstrings/strings and rename identifiers that referenced
the external game and its file formats:
- format-id "psarc" -> "archive"; local vars psarc_path -> song_path,
psarc_base -> tone_base
- lyrics provenance value "sng" -> "notechart" (legacy "sng" still accepted)
- highway_3d fret-ghost scope value "rocksmith" -> "chords" (invalid/legacy
values fall back to the default, preserving behaviour)
- neutralise references in prose, test names/data, .gitattributes and docs
No functional change beyond the renamed identifiers; all Python compiles.
