Squashed from work; the fine-grained history is under tag archive/work-2026-08-26: - vjfx: 104 new presets — the transition lane fills out and the screen family goes wide - vjfx: three lanes land — engine hooks + hold stage, the videomesh engine, and the audio picture - vj: the thumbnail pipeline becomes one honest machine, and effects go livecodable - vj: thumbnails become mp4 — hardware-coded sheets at measured-4K cells, and the bake stops racing the GPU - store: the ceremony dies — batch publish, one transaction, and the engine stops re-reading its own log - store: the ceremony dies — batch publish, one transaction, and the engine stops re-reading its own log - vj: the console grows real transports, and the deck stops lying about reverse - vj: reverse earns a memory, and the effects stop aging - fab: a 3D creation shell and the viewer built on it

// LEVEL PULSE RINGS — every kick that happened in the last five seconds,
|
|
// still travelling. Radius is age, so the outermost ring is the oldest
|
|
// hit; nothing here is spawned, tracked or decayed on the CPU — the rings
|
|
// ARE the low-band column of the spectrogram, read along the radius.
|
|
//
|
|
// The classic "VU pump" without a single accumulator: the whole picture is
|
|
// a function of (radius -> age -> texture row).
