EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.8 aeca24ae17 v5 pre-release: multi-track drift fix, more self-tests, logging, CLI, version bump
Multi-track recording drift fix (Ed's question — can the separate tracks drift over an hour?):
 * Root: FlushPeerTracks skipped a peer that produced no samples in a render block, so a peer that
   went quiet long enough for its session to be pruned (>4 s idle) would have its track fall behind
   and desync. Now every peer track is padded to a full render block each cycle (silence when the
   peer produced nothing), so all peer tracks stay sample-locked to the single render clock — they
   can't drift apart however long the recording runs, and all end the same length. Same padding for
   the single-file bypass path. OnRecordBlockComplete now carries the block's float count.
   (The peer tracks are already resampled to the render clock per peer, so this makes peer-to-peer
   sync exact; your own "me" track is capture-clocked — same soundcard for capture+playback = same
   clock = no drift, different interfaces can drift slightly.)

 * Self-test: two new steps — "Per-peer shaping DSP" (PeerDspChain unity/master-off/volume/parametric
   + ParametricToPeaking) and "v5 settings and shaping round-trip" (AppConfig defaults, NamedPeers,
   MainTabOrder, parametric PeerShaping, recording default = Both).
 * Logging (gated by the logging checkbox): master shaping switch, EQ-mode change, parametric band
   add/delete, peer rename/clear/delete, and the applied Appearance settings after Preferences close.
 * CLI: --list-profiles and --list-named-peers (read-only), in --help.
 * Version bumped to 5.0; About-box changelog, RELEASE_NOTES.md and README updated for v5.

Build clean; --selftest passes.

EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.8 57847ff358 Pan/EQ: label the advanced mode "12 band"; single recordings include the machine name
Two of Ed's test findings: the EQ mode picker still said "10 band advanced EQ" (it's 12 now);
and a single-file recording's name now carries the recorder's machine name too —
"<HH-mm-ss> RemSound recording <machine>.<ext>" — matching the split tracks. Held for release.

EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.8 fc4ad3bb92 Recording fixes: date folders on top, and multi-track honours the Source setting
Two issues Ed found testing:
 * The default recordings path was recordings\<machine>\, so date folders nested under a
   machine-name folder. Dropped the per-machine subfolder — recordings now nest by date at the
   top (recordings\<yyyy-MM-dd>\...); the machine name still appears in split-track file names.
 * Multi-track always created the "me" (sent) track regardless of the Source setting, so a
   receive-only recording wrongly produced a track of your own machine. Multi-track now follows
   Source like single-file does: peer (received) tracks unless "sent only", and your own (sent)
   track only when Source is "both" or "sent only".

Held for next release.

EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.8 efa9435da7 Recording: sum each peer's streams per track (record how it sounds)
Follow-up to the multi-track feature (Ed): the split path wrote each per-peer tap straight to
that peer's file, so a peer sending on more than one lane stacked their streams sequentially
instead of summing. Playback and the single-file path already sum; now the per-peer path does
too. Each PeerTrack accumulates that peer's block(s) per render and flushes the sum once on the
block boundary (OnRecordBlockComplete = FlushPeerTracks). "Sum to listen, sum to record."

Held for next release.

EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.8 de55230048 Multi-track + shaped/raw recording (per-peer split tracks) — held for next release
Recording Settings gains two per-profile toggles (Ed's request):
 * "Split recording into separate tracks" — each recording becomes a folder with one file per
   connected peer (their received audio only) plus one for your own send.
 * "Bypass pan and EQ when recording" — record the RAW audio (before pan/EQ) instead of the
   shaped audio you hear; applies to single and split.

Engine: a per-peer record tap in SessionPlayout hands each peer's block to the recorder RAW
(before pan/EQ) or SHAPED (after) per the bypass flag; PlayoutEngine propagates the tap to all
sessions (+ inherits on reconnect) and fires OnRecordBlockComplete each render; AudioReceiver
exposes SetPeerRecordTap / OnRecordBlockComplete. AudioRecorder now accepts an explicit path and
exposes ExtensionFor. RecordingController composes one AudioRecorder per track: multi-track =
a recorder per connected peer + a "me" recorder; single-track shaped = the existing mixed tap;
single-track raw (bypass) = sum each peer's raw block per render, flushed on the block boundary.

Naming (Ed's scheme, sortable): <recordings>/<yyyy-MM-dd>/ then, single-track, "<HH-mm-ss>
RemSound recording.<ext>"; multi-track, a folder "<HH-mm-ss> RemSound recording multi track/"
containing "<machine name> <HH-mm-ss>.<ext>" per peer (name or IP) and for your own send.

Known edge (noted): a peer using sender-side BothIndependent (two lanes) records both lanes to
one file in a split recording; single-track bypass sums per render in the Mixed path. Off by
default (both toggles unticked = today's behaviour). Builds clean; pending Ed's hands-on test.

EdnunpandClaude Opus 4.7 70c2669d70 Bump to v3.1.0: new audio cues (save, profile-switch), per-profile custom cue paths, redesigned tray menu
Two new cues join the existing connect / disconnect / record-start /
record-stop set:
  * profile-save cue (sounds\save.wav by default) fires in
    SaveProfileTo after a successful Save or Save As. Honours the
    Profile.EnableSaveCue per-profile flag.
  * profile-switch cue (sounds\profile.wav by default) fires in the
    MainForm Shown handler after a profile finishes loading - covers
    both startup-with-profile and mid-session profile switches.
    Honours the Profile.EnableProfileSwitchCue flag. Because cue
    loading runs AFTER settings.ApplyProfile in the ctor (line 542),
    the profile being entered determines which sound plays - not the
    one being left, exactly as Ed asked.

The audio cue UI in PreferencesDialog stays as a CheckedListBox (up /
down navigates, Space toggles) with TWO action buttons below that
operate on whichever cue is selected:
  * Play [cue name] (Alt+P) - previews via SoundPlayer.Play on the
    resolved path (custom override if set, default in sounds\
    otherwise). Independent of the tick state.
  * Browse for [cue name]... (Alt+B) - opens a WAV picker. If the
    user picks a file inside RemSound's own sounds\ folder, it's
    treated as "use default" and the override is cleared - avoids
    pinning the user to a specific shipped default that a future
    release might replace. Right-click "Use default sound" reverts.

Custom cue paths AND enable flags are per-profile. Lives on
Profile.CustomCuePaths (Dictionary<string,string>) and the per-cue
EnableXxxCue bool? properties. Cache mirror in
RemSoundSettingsStore.Settings.

All default WAVs moved from the install-root flat layout into a
sounds\ subfolder (csproj Content rules updated). save.wav and
profile.wav are bundled defaults.

Tray menu rewritten (MainFormTrayController) per Ed's spec:
  * Show RemSound (W) - now uses Win32 SetForegroundWindow after the
    standard Activate() because WinForms Activate is blocked by the
    foreground-lock when invoked from a tray-menu click, which left
    screen-reader users having to Alt+Tab to reach the restored
    window.
  * Enable sending (S) / Enable receiving (R) - tickable, reflect
    current state, TOGGLE rather than always-on.
  * Profiles (P) - submenu populated from AppConfig.RecentProfiles
    with the same &1..&5 mnemonics the File menu uses. Pre-populated
    once at construction so WinForms recognises it as a submenu and
    fires DropDownOpening - originally I relied entirely on the
    open event, which the framework skipped for items with no
    DropDownItems, producing the "Profiles does nothing" bug.
  * Exit (X).

Tray tooltip now built dynamically from snapshot tick (1 Hz):
"RemSound - [recording for MM:SS,] N peer(s), sending (lane),
receiving (lane)". Recording timer only included while
RecordingController.IsRecording is true (added
RecordingStartedUtc accessor for the elapsed calculation). Lane is
derived from which device-list ticks are active, not just the audio-
mode setting, so a BothIndependent user with only WASAPI inputs ticked
honestly reads as "sending (WASAPI)".

Fixes:
  * Initial tooltip "RemSound" produced a "RemSound RemSound" read on
    NVDA because the process name and tooltip matched. Set to
    "RemSound - starting up" so the duplicate disappears.
  * Recent profile menu items no longer carry a "Recent profile N:"
    AccessibleName prefix in either the tray submenu or the File
    menu's Recent profiles - now just the profile name. Number-key
    mnemonics (&1..&5) untouched.

Manual (readme.html) updated: new section 17 "Audio cue sounds"
documents all six cues, the Play/Browse buttons, the right-click
"Use default sound", and the per-profile semantics. Sections 17-21
renumbered to 18-22. New "System tray icon and its menu" subsection
inside section 4 documents the redesigned right-click menu and the
hover tooltip. MANUAL.md regenerated via sync-manual.py. About box
gets a v3.1 block at the top. RELEASE_NOTES.md fully rewritten for
v3.1.

No wire format change - v3.1 talks to other v3.0.x machines exactly
as before.

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.
