fix(audio-effects): accept pre-rebrand chain plan schema as alias

The rebrand renamed PLAN_SCHEMA to 'feedBack.audio_effects.chain_plan.v1'
but shipped plugin bundles (rig_builder <= 2.9.x) still send the
slopsmith-era id, so _validatePlan rejected every plan and providers fell
back to their heavyweight legacy load paths (full chain rebuild per poll
cycle — audible as continuous distortion during songs). Accept the old id
as an explicit alias.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
-- **Plugins can ship an ES-module `src/` tree (module-migration rails, R0).** The host gains three things so a plugin can move off a single global-scope `screen.js` IIFE onto native ES modules with **no build step**: (1) a new sandboxed `GET /api/plugins/{id}/src/{path}` route that serves a plugin's `src/` source subtree, containment-checked by the same `safe_join` guard as `assets/` (traversal/absolute/NUL → 404); (2) the live-edit cache contract — `Cache-Control: no-cache` + a weak mtime/size `ETag` + `If-None-Match`→`304` — applied to `src/`, `screen.js`, and `assets/` (previously `screen.js` sent no cache headers and `assets/` emitted an ETag but never revalidated), so an edited module reloads on refresh while unchanged ones `304`; and (3) `scriptType`/`minHost` passthrough from `plugin.json` to `/api/plugins`, with the loader injecting a plugin that declares `"scriptType":"module"` as `<script type="module">` (its screen.js becomes `import './src/main.js'`). A `<script type=module>` fires its load event only after its whole static-import graph evaluates, preserving the loader's completion-by-`onload` + `_loadingPluginId` contract. Classic plugins are unaffected; `minHost` is passthrough-only for now (enforcement deferred). Tests: `tests/test_plugin_src_route.py` (serve/media-type/traversal/304/no-stale-304/screen.js+assets conditional), `tests/js/plugin_loader_script_type.test.js` (guarded module injection).
-- **Module-migration governance & rails (R0).** Constitution amended to **v1.2.0**: Principle II now names native ES modules as a first-class, *build-free* extension mechanism (the `scriptType:"module"` load path, both plugins and — over time — core's `static/js/`), keeping the no-bundler/no-transpiler/source-served rule intact; Operating Constraints gains a "Module load contract" clause (a `<script type=module>` load event awaits the whole static-import graph, so completion-by-`onload` is preserved; per-visit re-init comes from the `screen:changed` event, not screen.js re-execution). Mirrored into `CLAUDE.md`. New `docs/plugin-modules.md` (the migration playbook — layering, import-time purity, `import.meta.url` assets, the ETag live-edit loop) and `docs/size-exemptions.md` (the signed 1,500-line size-norm register; Byron signs core/bundled rows, Christian the authored virtuoso row). Adds a **maintainer/CI-only** ESLint gate (`eslint.config.js` + a `lint` CI job): `max-lines` warns at 1,500 as a non-blocking ratchet (ceilings for exempt files mirror the register), and `import-x/no-unresolved` + `import-x/no-cycle` hard-error on ES-module graphs — dormant until module code lands, never on the serve/Docker path.
-- **Perf-baseline harness (R0).** `scripts/perf-baseline.mjs` (maintainer-only, Playwright-driven) captures server p50/p95/p99 latency, cold boot-to-interactive, JS-heap after an idle soak, and the injected plugin-script shape (how many are `type=module`), so every refactor phase can be checked for "screen-entry and frame-time no worse." Methodology + the R0 baseline live in `docs/perf-baseline.md`; playback frame-time and chart-loaded screen-entry rows need a seeded library and are re-taken per environment.
-- **Sort and filter the library by your personal difficulty rating — now visible at a glance, not just in the edit drawer.** `song_user_meta.user_difficulty` (the 1–5 planning rating, settable manually or seeded by a plugin like the community `difficulty_tagger`) already existed but was only readable by opening a song's per-song details drawer. The library API gains `sort=difficulty` / `sort=difficulty-desc` — a correlated subquery over `song_user_meta`, following the same unrated-rows-sort-to-the-bottom-in-both-directions pattern as the existing `mastery` sort — and library cards now show the rating as a `◆N` badge (v2 grid/tree views and the v3 grid alike), next to the tuning and lyrics badges. The classic tree view's `query_artists` batch-attaches `user_difficulty` the same way `query_page` already did for the grid, so the badge actually renders there too instead of staying dark. Tests: `tests/test_library_filters.py::test_difficulty_sort_pushes_unrated_to_bottom`, `tests/test_library_filters.py::test_tree_view_songs_carry_user_difficulty`.
 - **`lib/midi_import.py`: `convert_midi_tempo_map` — MIDI imports can finally carry

 - **Auto-sync: DTW step constraint — riff-based songs no longer produce garbage sync points.** `librosa.sequence.dtw`'s default step pattern allows unbounded horizontal/vertical path runs, and on music with long self-similar chroma stretches (riff-driven stoner/doom, drone sections) the flat cost surface let the warping path collapse — minutes of score mapped onto a single audio frame, so the per-bar warp imported charts wildly out of sync while reporting success (observed on a real 138 BPM tab: effective displayed tempo 159 BPM, three sync points sharing one audio timestamp). `_dtw_align` now uses the standard music-sync slope-constrained step pattern (`[[1,1],[1,2],[2,1]]`, local tempo ratio bounded to 0.5x–2x), which makes the degenerate path impossible, with a fallback to unconstrained steps when the global length ratio makes the constrained pattern infeasible (e.g. a tab aligned against a full-concert video). Validated on the failing song: coarse points track the recording 1:1, refined downbeats land on onset peaks at 3.3x background energy.
 
 ### Added
-- **3D Keys Highway: key layout modes, lane-color opacity & octave lines.** A new **Highway layout** settings section rebuilds how sharps/flats and lanes draw on the 3D piano highway. **Sharps & flats layout** (`keys3d_bg_sharpMode`) picks between **floating** (the original raised-sharp look), **flat** (one plane, zero-overlap piano-shaped tiled lanes with the naturals evened out), and **realistic** (one plane, bars sized like the physical keys) — default **realistic**; the geometry lives in pure, unit-tested `laneSpanFlat()`/`laneSpanReal()` helpers. **Lane color opacity** (`keys3d_bg_laneOpacity`, 0–1, default 0) fades the pitch-class lane tint from full vivid color down to a dark floor with guide lines only at the key-block boundaries (E→F and each octave); the lane strips, per-lane separators and block lines crossfade with the value. **Octave separators** (`keys3d_bg_octaveGaps`, default on) and **Octave line contrast** (`keys3d_bg_octaveContrast`, 0–1) control the B→C octave divider, which auto-shifts from a dark to a bright layer as lane opacity fades. Settings re-read on init and apply on the next chart build. `plugins/keys_highway_3d` → 0.2.0. Tests: `plugins/keys_highway_3d/tests/fx_settings.test.js` (new defaults, sharp-mode setting, lane-geometry tiling/evening for flat, uniform/overlap for realistic, and an active-range boundary case where a white key's edge stays untrimmed when its neighboring sharp falls outside the active range).
-- **Unmapped-percussion capture now records velocities alongside times.** Both drum converters' opt-in `out_unmapped` reporting (`lib/midi_import.py` `convert_drum_track_from_midi`, `lib/gp2rs.py` `convert_drum_track_to_drumtab`) gain an index-aligned `velocities` list next to `times`, carrying each dropped note's real dynamics (MIDI velocity verbatim; GP velocity with the same 1–127 gate as mapped hits, falling back to the 100 import default). This lets a hand-mapping UI (the editor's unmapped-notes dialog) restore mapped notes at their source dynamics instead of flattening everything to `v:100`. The GP path's chronological sort now reorders times and velocities in lockstep so multi-voice measures can't silently reassign dynamics. Additive — callers that ignore the new key are unaffected. Tests: `tests/test_midi_import_drums.py`, `tests/test_gp2rs_drums.py`.
 - **Handedness (left-handed) is now a first-class choice in the instrument selector — and surfaced during onboarding.** Left-handed players could already mirror the highway, but only via a buried Settings toggle they had to find *after* setup — so a lefty hit the tour, the tuner and calibration all right-handed first. The v3 instrument badge popover now has a **Handedness: Right / Left** row alongside Instrument / Strings / Tuning (all player-orientation choices), writing the same `lefty` preference (`highway.setLefty` when a live highway exists, else the `lefty` localStorage key it reads on init; the Settings checkbox stays in sync). The first-run tour's "Choose your instrument" step — which runs **before** the tuner/audio-calibration steps — now calls it out so lefties flip it up front. Frontend-only, additive: `static/v3/badges.js`, `static/v3/onboarding-tour.js`. Tests: `tests/js/badges_handedness.test.js`.
 - **"Colorblind (deuteranope)" highway string-color preset.** Adds a one-click preset to the shared "Highway String Colors" picker, sitting next to the existing Okabe–Ito "Colorblind-friendly" preset — contributed by a deuteranopic player who found the Okabe–Ito set still hard to separate. It retunes the six main strings (red / yellow-green / blue / orange / teal / deep-purple) and keeps that set's 7/8-string colors, and applies to **both** the 2D and 3D highways via the shared picker. Frontend-only, additive: `static/app.js` (`HWC_PRESETS`).
 - **`lib/gp_autosync.py`: piecewise time-warp helpers + a working `refine_sync()`.** `auto_sync()` has always computed per-bar sync points (DTW), but consumers could only apply the scalar bar-1 `audio_offset`, so any tempo difference between the recording and the tab's authored tempo accumulated audibly over the song. New librosa-free helpers expose the full mapping: `bar_start_times(gp_path)` (per-bar score times on the same axis as the sync points — GPIF bar-resolution map for `.gp`/`.gpx`, per-tick integration for GP3/4/5), `build_warp_anchors(points, bar_starts)` (strictly-monotonic `(score, audio)` anchor pairs), `warp_time(t, anchors)` (piecewise-linear map with edge-slope extrapolation for count-ins/tails), `warp_song_times(song, warp)` (retimes a `lib.song.Song` in place: notes + sustains, chords, beats, sections, anchors, handshapes, per-phrase difficulty levels, tone changes, tempo overrides), and `gp_has_expandable_repeats(gp_path)` (detects GP3/4/5 repeat/volta/direction markup whose playback expansion the as-written sync points cannot map — callers fall back to offset-only sync). Also implements `refine_sync()`, which the editor plugin's refine-sync endpoint has imported since the snapshot but which never existed in core (the Refine button 500'd): it densifies the coarse DTW points to every Nth bar and re-times each with a local onset phase sweep (sweep radius clamped under half a beat so periodic material can't lock a full beat off; short scoring grid + median residual snap). Synthetic click-track validation: ~13ms mean / ~40ms max error from ±180ms coarse input across 117–123 BPM recordings of a 120 BPM tab. Tests: `tests/test_gp_autosync_warp.py`.

 **Frontend scripts** — `screen.js` runs in the global scope via a `<script>` tag. It can access `window.playSong`, `window.showScreen`, `window.createHighway`, the `<audio>` element, and the `window.feedBack` event emitter.
 
-**ES-module plugins (`scriptType:"module"`)** — a plugin may instead ship a native ES-module graph with **no build step**: set `"scriptType": "module"` in `plugin.json`, make `screen.js` a one-line `import './src/main.js'`, and put the module tree under `src/` (served by the sandboxed `/api/plugins/<id>/src/{path}` route). The host injects it as `<script type="module">`, whose `onload` fires only after the whole static-import graph evaluates — so the loader's completion-by-`onload` + `_loadingPluginId` + `playSong` wrapper-chain ordering all hold. Resolve your own asset URLs (worklets, WASM) with `import.meta.url` — `document.currentScript` is `null` in a module. Module top-level code does **not** re-run when the user re-enters the screen at the same version (the host loads screen.js once and `showScreen` re-injects nothing), so keep per-visit re-init in a `screen:changed` handler, exactly as classic plugins do. Classic global-scope `screen.js` remains fully supported. See `docs/plugin-modules.md`.
-
 **The playSong wrapper chain** — Plugins commonly wrap `window.playSong` to hook into song playback. Plugins load alphabetically, so the last-loaded (alphabetically later) wrapper runs first, while the alphabetically first plugin runs closest to the original. Be aware that `await` calls in inner wrappers yield to the event loop — WebSocket messages can arrive before outer wrappers finish setup.

-# Plugin ES-module migration playbook
-
-How to move a plugin off a single global-scope `screen.js` IIFE onto a native
-ES-module graph — **no build step, no framework, no bundler**. This is the
-mechanism the monolith-killing refactor uses; the host rails for it shipped in
-R0 (see `.specify/memory/constitution.md` Principle II + the "Module load
-contract" in Operating Constraints).
-
-## The shape
-
-```
-my-plugin/
-  plugin.json      +  "scriptType": "module"        ← opt in
-  screen.js           import './src/main.js';        ← the entire file
-  src/
-    state.js          (0) module state + accessors
-    util/…            (1) pure helpers — real-import testable
-    …/…               (2..4) model → render/audio/io → input
-    globals.js        (5) THE ONLY file that writes window.*
-    main.js           (5) boot: wire modules, register screen:changed
-  assets/…            worklets / WASM / images (unchanged, served as today)
-```
-
-`screen.js` becomes a one-line static `import`. The host injects it as
-`<script type="module">`, whose load event fires **only after the whole
-static-import graph fetches and evaluates** — so the loader's
-completion-by-`onload` + `_loadingPluginId` window + `playSong` wrapper-chain
-order are all preserved. (A classic IIFE that fired a fire-and-forget
-`import()` would break that contract — don't do that; use `scriptType:"module"`.)
-
-## Non-negotiable rules
-
-1. **Source-served, no build.** Modules are plain source files fetched from
-   `/api/plugins/<id>/src/<path>`. No bundler, transpiler, or TypeScript.
-2. **Layering points downward** — `state → util → commands/model →
-   render/audio/io → input → globals/main`. A lint check (`import-x/no-cycle`)
-   enforces acyclicity; extract bottom-up so each move only imports
-   already-extracted layers.
-3. **`globals.js` is the only writer of `window.*`.** The deliberate global
-   surface shrinks to one auditable file; everything else is module-scoped.
-4. **Import-time purity.** `node --test` runs a module's top-level code on
-   import, so a module you want to unit-test must be side-effect-free at import:
-   no `document` / `window` / `localStorage` at module top level — lift init
-   into an exported `init()` called by `main.js`. (Constitution Principle V's
-   "no implicit IO at import time", applied to the frontend.) Tests are `.mjs`
-   and use real `import`, retiring the regex/`extractFunction` harness.
-5. **Assets resolve via `import.meta.url`.** `document.currentScript` is `null`
-   inside a module. `assets/` lives at the plugin root, so a `src/` module must
-   climb out of `src/`: from `src/main.js`, `new URL('../assets/x.js',
-   import.meta.url)` (deeper modules need more `../`). Simpler and
-   depth-independent: the absolute route `/api/plugins/<id>/assets/x.js`.
-   Worklets run in a *separate* module graph (`AudioWorkletGlobalScope`) and
-   cannot share modules with `src/`.
-6. **Re-init comes from `screen:changed`, not re-execution.** The host loads
-   `screen.js` once per version and `showScreen` re-injects nothing, so module
-   top-level code does **not** re-run when the user re-enters the screen at the
-   same version. Keep per-visit setup/teardown in a `window.feedBack.on(
-   'screen:changed', …)` handler — exactly as classic plugins (tuner,
-   minigames) already do. Do not rely on the IIFE re-running.
-7. **Inline `onclick=` keeps working** during migration via `globals.js` (which
-   keeps every referenced symbol on `window`); retire inline handlers to
-   module-side `addEventListener` opportunistically, never as a blocking step.
-
-## The live-edit loop
-
-The host serves `screen.js`, `src/**`, and `assets/**` with
-`Cache-Control: no-cache` + a weak `ETag` and honors `If-None-Match` → `304`.
-So: edit a `src/` file → **refresh the browser** → the edited module returns
-`200` and reloads while every unchanged module `304`s. There is no hot-reload;
-the loop is edit → refresh → see change, exactly as before. The `?v=<version>`
-query on `screen.js` is the legacy version buster; it does **not** propagate
-into the `src/` graph and does not need to — ETag/mtime is the correctness
-authority for the whole graph.
-
-## Host-version floor (`minHost`)
-
-A migrated plugin *requires* a host new enough to serve `src/` and inject
-`type=module`. Declare the floor with `"minHost": "X.Y.Z"` in `plugin.json`.
-(R0 plumbs the field through `/api/plugins`; enforcement — refuse-with-message
-on an older host — is deferred, so bundled plugins are unaffected. Community
-plugins should state the floor and not migrate below it.)
-
-## Migration mechanics
-
-- **Move-only PRs.** One slice extracts one module: cut code, add
-  imports/exports, update `globals.js` — zero behavior change. Behavior fixes
-  are separate PRs. (Init-lifts for import purity are the one non-pure move —
-  budget them.)
-- **Bottom-up, layer by layer.** Within a layer, independent modules are
-  independent PRs (a DAG, not a chain); use a git worktree per branch.
-- Tests move with their subject and convert to real `.mjs` imports in the same
-  PR (assertions unchanged).
-- Size norm: no source file over **1,500 lines**; legitimate exceptions
-  (hot renderers, etc.) go in the signed register at `docs/size-exemptions.md`.
-
-## Verifying a migration
-
-`node --test <plugin>/tests/*.mjs`; load the plugin on the `:8000` testbed and
-confirm it boots (`<script type=module>` in DevTools, the `src/` graph in
-Network); edit a `src/` file → refresh → change visible (`200` on the edited
-file, `304` on the rest); leave and re-enter the screen at the same version →
-it re-inits via `screen:changed`. The R1 pilots (stems, then studio) certify
-this end-to-end before the flagship repos migrate.

-# Size-exemption register
-
-The working norm (constitution Principle II; enforced by the `max-lines` lint
-gate) is **no source file over 1,500 lines**. A few files are allowed to exceed
-it because splitting them would do more harm than good — hot per-frame
-renderers, C++, offline generators, cohesive registries. This register is the
-list of those exceptions: each row is a **deliberate, signed** decision with a
-ceiling, a rationale, and a review trigger. Without it, "no file over 1,500
-without a *signed* exemption" is unenforceable.
-
-**Rules**
-- One row per file: a ceiling, a rationale, a signer, a review trigger.
-- The `max-lines` per-file ceilings in `eslint.config.js` mirror this table —
-  keep them in sync (this register is canonical).
-- Files with a scheduled split **plan** are *not* exempt — they live in
-  "Planned, not exempt" at the bottom so nothing falls between the two states.
-- **Signers** (decided 2026-07-08): **Byron** signs core + bundled rows;
-  **Christian** signs the authored-plugin row (virtuoso, its own repo/track).
-
-## Permanent exemptions (structural rationale)
-
-| Repo / file | Lines (7-07) | Ceiling | Rationale | Signer | Review |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| core `static/highway.js` → residual `renderer-2d.js` (post-split) | ~2,400–2,900 est. | **3,000** | 60 fps hot path; no module boundary inside the per-frame loop | Byron | after the highway.js split |
-| core `plugins/highway_3d/` → residual renderer | sized at split; likely **>3,000** | set at split, flagged now | same hot-path rule; the draw core can't be cut without behavior risk | Byron | after the highway_3d split |
-| core `static/capabilities.js` | 1,538 | 1,600 | cohesive registry + `window.feedBack` bus, 38 lines over; a split spends credibility for nothing | Byron | R4 |
-| tutorials `builtin/reading-the-highway/generate.py` | 1,818 | 2,000 | offline content generator, never imported at runtime, deps not in runtime requirements | Byron | if a 3rd builtin pack appears |
-| desktop `src/audio/NodeAddon.cpp` | 3,542 | as-is | C++, outside the ESM/routes playbooks; under active use-after-free crash work — do not churn | Byron | after crash-class work settles |
-| desktop `src/audio/AudioEngine.cpp` | 2,977 | as-is | same | Byron | same |
-| desktop `src/vst-host/main.cpp` | 1,928 | as-is | same | Byron | same |
-| virtuoso `screen.js` (authored, own track) | 25,741 | as-is until its own split | authored plugin on a separate roadmap; migrates on its own schedule | Christian | virtuoso split kickoff |

-## Split-when-touched (no scheduled train; row retires when split)
-
-| Repo / file | Lines | Ceiling | Rationale | Signer | Review |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| core `lib/gp2rs_gpx.py` | 2,540 | as-is | import converter, off the serve-path hot loop | Byron | when next touched |
-| core `lib/gp2rs.py` | 2,055 | as-is | same | Byron | when next touched |
-| core `lib/song.py` | 1,689 | as-is | data models + wire format; cohesive | Byron | when next touched |
-| core `lib/gp_autosync.py` | 1,572 | as-is | under active dev (#787/#791) — don't collide | Byron | after in-flight work lands |
-| core `plugins/capability_inspector/screen.js` | 1,752 | as-is | bundled diagnostics plugin, low churn | Byron | when next touched |
-| core `plugins/folder_library/screen.js` | 1,672 | as-is | bundled plugin, low churn | Byron | when next touched |
-
-## Temporary rows (cleared by a scheduled PR)
-
-| Repo / file | Lines | Cleared by |
-|---|---|---|
-| core `plugins/__init__.py` | ~2,470 (grew under R0) | the `plugins/_routes.py` + `plugins/_registry.py` split (rides the server.py router work) |
-
-## Watch list (under the norm — no row needed, re-census each phase)
-
-`musicxml-import/mxml2notation.py` (1,456) · core `static/capabilities/audio-effects.js`
-(1,436) · `studio routes.py` (1,399) · `update-manager screen.js` (1,492 — zero headroom).
-
-## Planned, NOT exempt (owned by split plans — listed so nothing falls between states)
-
-core `static/app.js` (11,821) · `static/highway.js` (4,154, whole file) · `server.py`

-(3,780) · `plugins/drum_highway_3d/screen.js` (3,597) — and every monolith with a PR
-train in the refactor plan. Test files (e.g. `tests/test_plugins.py`) are out of scope
-by policy — the norm governs source files.

 RS+-style falling-note 3D piano highway for [Slopsmith](https://github.com/got-feedback/feedback), fed by the **Sloppak Notation Format** (sloppak-spec §5.3) — part of the piano/keys first-class epic (slopsmith#828, plugin workstream slopsmith#824).
 
 - Consumes the `notation_info` / `notation_measures` highway-WS stream over a private per-instance socket and flattens measure → staff → voice → beat → note into `{midi, t, durSec, hand}` (durations derived from written `dur`/`dot`/`tu` at the running tempo; ties extend; overlap-clamped).
-- 3D perspective highway to a vanishing point with a real white/black-key keyboard; per-key **pitch-class colors** (Synthesia convention — C red, D yellow, E blue, …) with hand (rh/lh) as a secondary brightness cue. Selectable **note-color palettes** (settings → Note colors, `keys3d_bg_palette`, default the per-octave scheme): a per-octave rainbow (each octave its own hue, darker sharps), the original per-pitch "Rainbow" table, vivid/pastel per-pitch variants, and single-hue two-tone palettes (uniform naturals, darker sharps) for players who want "black key coming" to read at a glance; notes, key glow, lane guides and hit flames all follow the pick live.
+- 3D perspective highway to a vanishing point with a real white/black-key keyboard; per-key **pitch-class colours** (Synthesia convention — C red, D yellow, E blue, …) with hand (rh/lh) as a secondary brightness cue. Selectable **note-colour palettes** (settings → Note colours, `keys3d_bg_palette`, default the per-octave scheme): a per-octave rainbow (each octave its own hue, darker sharps), the original per-pitch "Rainbow" table, vivid/pastel per-pitch variants, and single-hue two-tone palettes (uniform naturals, darker sharps) for players who want "black key coming" to read at a glance; notes, key glow, lane guides and hit flames all follow the pick live.
 - Full RS+ visual treatment: key **letter glyphs** printed on the active-range key tops (cached CanvasTextures), **bevelled gem-style note blocks** (ExtrudeGeometry, geometry/material caches keyed by size and pitch-class×hand), **floating bar numbers** scrolling with the notes, **active-range lane dimming** so the playable span pops, and a **glowing pulsing hit-line** (layered additive gradient planes — no postprocessing).
 - Performance discipline: no per-frame allocations or DOM queries in `draw()`. Chart-scoped resources — note geometries/materials, bar-number and glow textures — are cached and disposed on chart teardown; the key-letter glyph `CanvasTexture`s live in a shared module-level cache that survives teardown and is reused across instances.
 - Auto-selected for arrangements with notation via `matchesArrangement(songInfo.has_notation)`; capability-native `visualization` provider declaration.
 - **Camera settings**: camera-rig presets (`keys3d_bg_camera` — classic low rig / elevated / overhead; default overhead, applied live, adaptive pan-zoom preserved) with base-rig fine-tune sliders for height, distance and tilt (`keys3d_bg_camHeight` / `camDist` / `camTilt`) that nudge the vantage point the follow-motion orbits. Numeric FX keys clamp to per-key declared ranges (`FX_RANGES`, default 0–1).
-- **Highway-layout options** (settings → Highway layout). **Sharps & flats**
-  (`keys3d_bg_sharpMode`, string; default `realistic`) picks the sharp layout:
-  `floating` (original raised-plane sharps, white-only lanes); `flat` (one plane,
-  zero-overlap piano-shaped tiled lanes — white lanes trimmed where a sharp adjoins
-  them, and each sharp leaned toward the edge natural beside it so the naturals come
-  out close to even: C/D/E/F/B equal, G/A a hair smaller since G# can't lean; pure
-  `laneSpanFlat()`); `realistic` (one plane, bars sized like the physical keys — full
-  naturals always rendered full, full black keys drawn on top and only occluding a
-  natural where a sharp note actually coincides in time; pure `laneSpanReal()`).
-  **Lane color opacity** (`keys3d_bg_laneOpacity`, 0–1, default 0) fades the
-  pitch-class lane tint; at 0 (default) the strips are a dark floor with guide lines
-  only at the key-block boundaries (E→F and each octave B→C), so each block is bounded
-  rather than every lane — the notes keep their colors; toward 1 it fills in full,
-  vivid colored lanes. The strips, per-lane separators and block lines crossfade with
-  this value. **Octave separators** (`keys3d_bg_octaveGaps`, default on) widens the
-  gap a touch at each B→C octave boundary. **Octave line contrast**
-  (`keys3d_bg_octaveContrast`, 0–1, default 0.5) scales how hard the B→C octave line
-  reads; it is drawn as a dark layer (scaled by lane opacity) plus a bright layer
-  (scaled by its inverse), so it auto-shifts dark→bright as the lanes fade — no mode
-  switch needed. All are geometry-time — applied on the next chart build via
-  `init()`'s re-read.
 - **Web MIDI input scoring**: module-level MIDI singleton (one access per tab, focused-instance routing) with device auto-connect by saved id+name, loopback blocklist, channel filter, transpose and CC64 sustain (`keys3d_` localStorage prefix; `window.keysH3d*` settings API). Hit detection matches played MIDI against the flattened chart notes within ±0.10 s with per-note dedupe and a missed-note sweep (only while a device is connected — never retroactive across a mid-song connect).
-- **Live hit feedback on the MIDI path** (not the chart): key depress (~4° back-edge pivot, ~120 ms spring; the key letter rides along), wrong-note red key flash, and a vertical flame flare on hits (pooled additive sprites, white-hot base fading into the pitch-class color, ~400 ms).
+- **Live hit feedback on the MIDI path** (not the chart): key depress (~4° back-edge pivot, ~120 ms spring; the key letter rides along), wrong-note red key flash, and a vertical flame flare on hits (pooled additive sprites, white-hot base fading into the pitch-class colour, ~400 ms).
 - **End-of-run stats**: POSTs `/api/stats` `{filename, arrangement, score, accuracy}` exactly once per run with the same formula as the guitar notedetect path (`accuracy = hits / max(1, hits+misses)`, `score = round(hits·100·accuracy)`), then notifies the progression core when present.
 - **Capability wiring** (all guarded for servers without the hosts): registers as a note-detection `midi` provider (`keys-midi`, `verify.target`), opens a per-song binding scoped to the chart's keys range, reports hit/miss observability events, and exposes Web MIDI inputs to the audio-input domain with pseudonymized labels (`midi-input-1`, …) via `source.enumerate/describe/open/close`.
 - Headless test hook: `window.__keysHwTest = { injectNoteOn(midi, when), getScore() }`.
