ChrisBeWithYouandClaude Opus 4.8 71833705b2 fix(tunings): extended-range bass was named as a guitar
Reported by a 6-string bassist: a Sleep Token chart tuned A0 D1 G1 C2 F2
A#2 (standard 6-string bass, whole step down) imported and displayed as
"6 string D Standard". They called it A standard and they were right.

Root cause: `tuning_name()` gated its naming ladder on
`len(offsets) == 6`, treating six offsets as proof of a 6-string GUITAR.
A 6-string BASS also has six offsets, but its lowest string is B, not E
— so the guitar ladder mislabels the whole family: an all-zeros bass
read "E Standard" (it is Standard/B) and a whole-step-down bass read
"D Standard" (it is A Standard). The function's own comment warned about
exactly this error for 7-string guitars; nobody guarded the bass axis.
The stored value feeds the library's Tuning filter, so every 5/6-string
bass song in every library was filed under a guitar name.

- `tuning_name(offsets, *, is_bass=False)`: bass 5/6 use the low-B
  ladder (Standard / Bb / A / G# / G) and bass 4 keeps the E ladder it
  shares with guitar. Drop names come off the resulting low string.
  Default stays guitar, so existing callers are unaffected.
- `sloppak._tuning_for_meta_kind()` reports WHICH kind supplied the
  tuning; `extract_meta` emits `tuning_is_bass` and scan_worker passes
  it through. Guitar-first selection for the library index is unchanged
  — a pack with a guitar part still indexes by the guitar.
- `TUNING_PRESET_MIDIS` bass-5/bass-6 renamed to match, with
  `TUNING_PRESET_ALIASES` so `_valid_tuning_for_key` MIGRATES a saved
  profile carrying an old name instead of rejecting it (it refuses names
  belonging to another key's built-ins, and "D Standard" still exists
  for guitar-6/bass-4 — so a rename alone would have invalidated those
  profiles). Pitches are untouched; only labels change.

Convention confirmed by the bass- and guitar-pedagogy seats: name
extended range off the ACTUAL lowest string, which is what the 7-string
guitar presets already do. The old names came from the band-level habit
of saying "we're in D standard" — true of the guitars, while the bassist
in that band is in A standard. Right answer, wrong scope. The bass table
was also internally inconsistent: its Drop A was already named off the
low string while its standards were not.

Tests: bass ladders for 4/5/6 strings, the reported chart pinned both
ways (is_bass=True -> "A Standard", same offsets as guitar -> "D
Standard"), bass drop naming, a table-wide invariant that every bass
preset name matches the note its low string sounds, and alias migration
(incl. not leaking into guitar-6/bass-4). The existing legacy-flat-bass
migration test now asserts the corrected label — same pitches, right
name. Suite: 1735 passed vs 1720 on main, with the same 99 pre-existing
env failures.

# Bass charts in the wild store SIX-element tuning arrays even when the chart is

# note ever references string index 4 or 5 (the deepest reach is index 3).
#
# The feedpak spec carries NO string-count field (manifest `arrangement.tuning`
# is an untyped integer array, `minItems: 1`), and counting strings for real
# would mean parsing the 600KB-1.2MB arrangement JSON of every song on the
# manifest-only fast scan path — unacceptable for scan time. So we DEFAULT BASS
# TO 4 STRINGS and truncate.
#
# Five-element arrays are unambiguously extended-range. Six elements remain
# ambiguous because legacy four-string charts are padded to six; preserve that
# legacy interpretation except for a uniform non-zero down-tuning, which cannot
# be padding (the padded tail would be zero) and is the common extended-range
# case that motivated the fix. Ambiguous all-zero and drop-shaped six-element
# arrays stay conservative until the manifest carries an explicit string count.

# on a song whose guitar chart is dead standard and whose own note content is
# consistent with standard tuning; the offsets were almost certainly computed
# against a 6-string-bass reference with an uninitialised tail).
#
# Such a tuning MUST NOT be named: printing "A Standard" would send a player

#
# What the player actually wants is "don't make me retune", not "match this
# label". A chart is playable as-is when every pitch it needs is reachable on
# the instrument as currently tuned.
#
# WHAT WE CAN HONESTLY COMPUTE. We index open-string TUNINGS, not the notes a
# chart plays — note data lives in the 600KB-1.2MB arrangement JSON, and the
# library scan is deliberately manifest-only, so we do not read it (indexing a
# per-song lowest note would mean opening every chart on every scan).
#
# So the comparison is on OPEN-STRING PITCH, with a conservative assumption:
# a chart may require its own lowest open string. That gives
#
# playable <=> your lowest open pitch <= the chart's lowest open pitch
#
# On a fretted instrument every pitch ABOVE your lowest open string is
# reachable by fretting (strings sit within an octave of each other and the
# neck gives ~2 octaves), so the low end is the binding constraint. This is
# exactly the dominant real case: a 5-string bass (low B) plays every 4-string
# standard chart AND every drop-D chart untouched, because the low D is just
# fretted on the B string.
#
# DELIBERATE LIMITATIONS, both erring toward NOT claiming playability:
# * A chart that never actually touches its lowest open string is excluded
# anyway. Conservative: excluding a playable chart costs a scroll;
# including an unplayable one costs a mid-practice retune, which is the
# failure this feature exists to prevent.
# * The UPPER bound is not checked — a chart tuned far above you could in
# principle exceed your neck. Checking it needs the note range we do not
# have. It is the rare direction (and the guard above already refuses
# up-tuned bass data), but it is a real gap, not an oversight.

`is_bass` is load-bearing, not cosmetic: string COUNT alone cannot

ladder labels an all-zeros bass "E Standard" (it is B/Standard) and a
whole-step-down bass "D Standard" (it is A Standard). That is exactly
the error the 7-string comment below warned about, on the axis nobody
guarded. Callers that know the instrument must say so; the default
stays guitar for backward compatibility.
All the pattern checks are gated on the expected string count. The
guitar conventions are 6-string-specific — e.g. a 7-string all-zeros
tuning has a low B, not an E, so labeling it "E Standard" would be
wrong. 7+-string guitar content falls through to the numeric
fallback. See #43.
