Ednunp 6d6d6897e4 Bump to v2.2.0: Opus native binding, efficiency tidy-up, diag self-meter 
Single biggest change: added the Concentus.Native NuGet package. Concentus
2.0+ auto-detects native libopus at runtime and routes encode calls
through it; encoder state lives on the C side and is reused across calls
rather than `new`ing ~15 working buffers per call (Concentus issue #22,
open since 2018). Measured on the desktop test at 15:36:55 — Opus 10 ms
allocation rate dropped from 4,625 KB/s to 108 KB/s, a 97.7% reduction.
Process CPU dropped from 4.7% to 1.6% in the same config. Audio is bit-
for-bit identical (it's literally the same encoder, just better
packaged). `OpusEncoderState.cs` itself unchanged on the call site.

Diagnostic / measurement layer (gated on Enable-logs, zero cost when off):
* ProcessSelfMeter: CPU%, managed heap MB, working set MB, allocation
  rate per second, GC counts per generation
* Per-thread work-time counters: captureMs / sendMs / recvMs / renderMs
  expressed as milliseconds of CPU consumed by each audio thread per
  second
* Inter-packet arrival gap measured at the user-space UDP socket
  (rxNetGapMs) — pinpoints whether arrival jitter is in the network or
  our own dispatch path

Small efficiency wins (each one was small but cumulative):
* deviceRefreshTimer interval 1s -> 3s (item 4)
* WaitHandle array allocations eliminated in MixingEngine.MixLoop and
  MultiOutputPlayout.ProduceLoop (item 6)
* MultiOutputPlayout caches its output-buffer snapshot and only rebuilds
  on SetOutputDevices, instead of rebuilding every 10 ms (item 7)
* HeartbeatService reuses an outbound ping byte[] instead of allocating
  per send (item 14)
* PeerDiscoveryService caches broadcast addresses and invalidates on
  Windows' NetworkChange event instead of walking all NICs every 1.5 s
  (item 16)

Legacy / dead-code removal:
* KeepAlive packet's implementation (struct, enums, writer, reader, size
  constant) — all dead since HeartbeatService landed 2026-05-06. Kept
  the RemPacketType.KeepAlive enum value and silent-drop dispatch for
  wire compat with any pre-2026-05-06 build still in the wild (item 30)
* driftDropFramesTotal / driftRepeatFramesTotal fields and accessors —
  Phase-2 splice corrector relics, never incremented since Phase-4
  resampler design landed; backed five always-zero diag log columns
  (items 34 + 35)
* DriftAccumulator (always returned 0) — same shape, removed alongside
  the driftAcc= column (item 35)
* TakeMaxFanOutCacheBytes / Ms + fanCacheMs column — FanOutSource was
  retired in May (item 36)

Project documentation:
* RemSoundefficiency.md added as the canonical record of the efficiency
  analysis, every item's status, and the measured wins from this round
* Honest item-by-item review of the original 50-item list — several
  items I had sized optimistically in the original analysis turned out
  to be already-done (item 20), already-optimal (item 22), or below
  the meter floor (items 9, 15, 17, 25). Recorded so future passes
  don't re-investigate.

Wire format and audio pipeline unchanged from v1.5 onward — v1.5 through
v2.2 peers interoperate.

Ednunp 79b28b6c02 Bump to v2.1.0: UPnP, read-only profile lock, sleep/hibernate audio fix 
Headline features:
* Automatic router port opening (UPnP / NAT-PMP / PCP). Opt-in via
  Preferences; surfaces external address + carrier-grade NAT detection.
* Lock profile (read-only). New File-menu tick that makes a profile
  load-only — session changes don't persist, no save prompt on close.
  Unblocks unattended shutdowns (NVDA gone, remote dropped, hibernate)
  where the existing save prompt could deadlock.
* Check for updates on startup (default on) + brief countdown notice
  before silent updates install, so a launch-time update doesn't make
  the app silently vanish.
* "Cue sounds" -> "Audio cue sounds" label clarification.

Bug fixes:
* No sound after the computer wakes from sleep. PowerResumeHandler
  rebuilds the audio backend automatically on resume; brief
  "Reconnecting to audio driver" splash during the rebuild.
* Receiver audio silent after waking from hibernate. RefreshAudioDeviceLists
  now treats a transient ASIO probe failure (returns -1/-1 because the
  driver is mid-teardown / mid-reinit) as "retry next tick" instead of
  clearing the user's tick selection.

Diagnostic-only changes (gated on the existing Enable-logs checkbox,
zero cost when off):
* AudioStepProbe split into cross-buffer vs within-buffer maxes so log
  inspection can tell a real-content sharp transient apart from a
  pipeline-boundary glitch. Plumbed through every probe owner.
* New rxNetGapMs + gc0/gc1/gc2 delta columns in the diag log to split
  receive-side jitter into network-layer vs managed-runtime causes.

Files touched: RELEASE_NOTES.md + readme.html + 24 source files across
RemSound.Core / RemSound.Sender / RemSound.Receiver / RemSound.App.
Three new app files: PowerResumeHandler, RouterPortMapper,
UpdateInstallNoticeDialog.

Wire format and audio pipeline unchanged from v1.5 onward — v1.5

EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.7 918ca6cac0 Bump to v1.6.0: peer-address recovery, reconnect crash, long-run memory/CPU leak 
Three reliability fixes. Wire format and audio pipeline unchanged from
v1.4 / v1.5 — all interoperate.

Peer address recovery:
* When a tracked peer goes Unreachable (its resolved address — often a
  stale DNS / Pi-hole record, or a peer that rebooted onto a new IP) but
  the same peer is still heartbeat-pinging us from a different address,
  RemSound now adopts the live address instead of transmitting to a dead
  one. HeartbeatService records untracked ping sources; MainForm's
  TryAdoptLiveHeartbeatAddress (1 Hz) re-points the sender, heartbeat
  tracking and receiver allow-list. Conservative: fires only on the
  unambiguous one-unreachable-and-one-source case, private-range (RFC1918)
  addresses only so a relay can't hijack the sender, 10 s cooldown.

Reconnect crash:
* Fixed IndexOutOfRangeException in MainForm.SyncConnectedList. A churny
  peer-list rebuild (peer reboot) left SelectedIndex pointing past the
  rebuilt item array; the 1 Hz status timer read SelectedItem and crashed
  the app. New SafeSelectedItem bounds-checks the index; applied to all
  three timer-driven sync methods. The status tick is also wrapped in
  try/catch so a transient WinForms hiccup logs instead of crashing.

Long-run memory / CPU leak:
* A receiver left running for hours grew to gigabytes and climbing CPU.
  Decoder sessions orphaned by peer reconnects were not reaped — every
  reconnect mints a fresh (endpoint, streamId) key, and PruneIdleSessions
  silently skipped sessions whose PlayoutEngine lookup missed. Rewrote it
  to reap on each session's own LastWriteUtc (no cross-dictionary lookup),
  added a hard MaxLiveSessions cap as a backstop, and a "stream sessions
  live: N" diagnostic line. Bounds both memory and render-thread CPU.

EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.7 4915a9afe1 Bump to v1.5.0: cross-lane routing fix, recording double-tap fix, menu reorg 
Bug fixes:
* BothIndependent recording was double-tapped — when both WASAPI and
  ASIO outputs were ticked, recordings came out garbled and ~2x the
  expected duration. AudioRecorder now uses four per-lane rings
  (sent-wasapi, sent-asio, recv-wasapi, recv-asio) plus a writer-
  thread mix step that drains min(wasapi, asio) frames and sum-mixes
  with the soft-tanh limiter. Tap signatures gained a RenderRoute
  parameter; Mixed maps to the wasapi slot.
* A peer announcing on the WASAPI lane was inaudible when the
  receiver only had an ASIO output ticked (and vice versa). The
  session opened, samples flowed into the SessionPlayout ring, but
  ReadForRoute(AsioLane) skipped any session whose Route was
  WasapiLane so nothing drained the ring. PlayoutEngine now tracks
  per-lane "is this lane backed by a device" via volatile bools
  settable through SetLaneActive(RenderRoute, bool), called from
  CompositeRenderBackend.SetOutputDevices whenever the device split
  changes. ReadForRoute admits orphan sessions when the other lane
  is inactive.

Menu reorganisation:
* New Options menu (Alt+O) holds Recording settings (Alt+S), Keyboard
  shortcuts (Alt+K, Ctrl+K), Startup behaviour (Alt+T), Preferences
  (Alt+P, Ctrl+P). Pre-v1.5 these were scattered across File menu,
  Record menu, and inside the Preferences dialog itself.
* Record menu mnemonic moved from Alt+O to Alt+K, rendered as
  "Record (Alt+K)" so the chord is visible despite K not being a
  letter in "Record". Alt+R is taken by Receive audio.
* File menu — new Recent profiles submenu (Alt+F, R) listing the
  five most-recently-opened profiles. Press 1..5 inside the submenu
  to jump to a slot. Missing files are skipped from the menu but
  kept in storage.
* Rename current profile moves to Alt+M (was R), Minimise to tray
  moves to Alt+N (was M).
* Lock to audio clock was Alt+K, now Alt+D.

UX additions:
* Ctrl+O = Open profile (matches the menu chord).
* New global hotkey: Start / Stop recording. Pickable from Options
  -> Keyboard shortcuts. Unbound by default. Works system-wide.

Wire format and audio pipeline unchanged from v1.4 — v1.4 and v1.5
peers interoperate.

EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.7 c59e413c1f Bump to v1.2.0: recording, sound cues, drift compensation, diagnostics 
New user-facing features:

* Recording. Dedicated Record menu (Alt+O — moved from Alt+R to
  avoid clashing with the Receive audio checkbox), Start/Stop on
  Ctrl+R, settings dialog, per-profile source / format / bit-depth /
  channel-mode / folder. Three source modes (received only, sent
  only, both). Files are crash-resilient — a process crash
  mid-recording leaves a playable file containing everything up to
  the last header refresh (~5 seconds).

* Four output formats, all functional:
    - WAV: 16/24-bit PCM or 32-bit float, custom writer with
      periodic RIFF re-patching.
    - MP3: LAME 128–320 kbps CBR (via NAudio.Lame).
    - OGG-Opus: 96–256 kbps VBR (via Concentus.Oggfile, reusing the
      Concentus encoder from the wire path).
    - FLAC: 16/24-bit lossless (via CUETools.Codecs.FLAKE — pure
      managed, no native DLL).

* Recording start/stop sound cues. record start.wav and
  record stop.wav play around the recording transition. Played via
  System.Media.SoundPlayer to the default Windows output, separate
  from the recording pipeline so a normal recording does not contain
  the cue.

* Per-cue Preferences. The old single "Mute connect/disconnect
  sounds" checkbox is replaced by a CheckedListBox: Connect /
  Disconnect / Recording start / Recording stop. Old profiles with
  the legacy MuteConnectionCues=true are honoured on first load via
  a migration path in the new Load* helpers.

* Receiver-side drift compensation switched from discrete
  single-frame splices to a continuous WdlResampler at a smoothed
  rate ratio. SessionPlayout.cs rewrite.

Diagnostics (only active with Enable logs ticked):

* Per-stage discontinuity probes — sender raw capture (per backend,
  PushModeWasapi + Asio both wired), sender pre-encode (now per
  lane in BothIndependent, fixing a cross-stream artefact), receiver
  post-decode, post-ring, post-resampler.

* Wire-level packet sequence tracking on each PCM stream — in-order
  / missed / reordered / duplicated counts in the diag log.

* Clipped-sample delta in the diag log.

* New AudioStepProbe in RemSound.Core with per-channel scan helper.

UI changes:

* Record menu uses Alt+O (Rec&ord). Inside the menu, item mnemonics
  unchanged (S / T / O / C).

* Auto-tune interval combo label is mode-aware: "Auto-tune latency
  interval" in classic modes, "Auto-tune interval — WASAPI and ASIO"
  in BothIndependent. The combo's Enabled state now follows EITHER
  lane's auto-tune checkbox (was only the WASAPI one — bug).

Wire format and audio pipeline unchanged from v1.1 — v1.1 and v1.2
peers interoperate.
