Phase 1 group 5 (S15, S16, S18, S19, L22, L23, L20, L21, L1 delete-half).
- S15: the four-way focus/altitude system. setFocus was never called anywhere,
so only the 'composite' branch was reachable. Deleted SplitStage,
ReadoutStrip, InputMini, AltitudeNav, CompactAxis, the UI Focus type/prop,
the focus branches, stripPinned and the vacuous keyboard gates. MiniMeters
kept; engine.feedback.setFocus (a different, live thing) untouched.
- S16 + L1: the decorative stratum that rendered real-looking controls driving
nothing — A/B machinery, the fake seed, seededGradient + weightsRevision,
snapshots, master volume, bpm, and the learningRate/decay/tame/spreadLevel
sliders with their Drawers rows. Each was confirmed self-referential first.
NOTE a real behaviour change falls out of dropping `snapshots`: Undo outside
an active explore-and-place session used to pop a UI-only snapshot that
restored noiseCap/seed. It is now simply inactive unless a genuine
core-backed scratchpad undo exists. Geometric-dislike mode never had a real
undo primitive in the core, so only the fake path is gone.
- S18: BackendAdvanced.tsx and its Drawers block. It self-described as a
duplicate of the inline OutputsBackendConfig editor and BOTH rendered in the
same expanded drawer. OutputsBackendConfig already covers every backend.
- S19: pruned ConsoleCtx to the fields Dock/Drawers/OutputsBackendConfig
actually read; deleted the Axes type + axes/setAxis and the
preset/setPreset/offsetActive chain (permanently 'Sculpt'/false).
KEPT ctx.modes and ctx.setModeId despite having no reader today — the
Phase 5 instrument picker (§7.6, adopted) is built on exactly that plumbing.
- L22: the 5 dead primitives (Panel, StatusLine, ControlAxis, CurvePlot,
Sparkline) and their barrel exports, plus the now-dead .mf-axis-input CSS.
- L23: OutputControl/toOutputControl, ModeIconComponent and the BACKENDS
catalogue; Drawers now reads modeDesc.label/description from OUTPUT_MODES,
the surviving single catalogue.
- L20: the solo-mode selector's two unimplemented options no longer pretend to
be selectable.
- L21: FeedbackController vestiges — seed/undoDepth options, maxUndo, and six
ControllerEngine members nothing called (the finding named three; the other
three are used on the real EngineApi by debug/probe.ts, a different
interface, so removing them from ControllerEngine is safe).
Gates: run-all-tests.sh ALL GREEN (typecheck, 33 Playwright specs).
TS half of P3.1/P3.2/P3.3: wire the new WASM exports and delete the TS
approximations now that geometric-dislike, jolt, OU, and the seeded RNG live
in the C++/WASM core.
- types.ts/wasm-iml.ts: bind + wrap dislike_geometric, store_positive,
positive/negative_count, set_avoid_style, jolt_press/step/release/active/
lr_scale/tick_lr_ramp, explore_intensity/get/apply. Weight-mutating wrappers
republish weights (version bump); explore_apply reuses feedbackBuf.
- engine-api: extend .feedback (dislikeGeometric/storePositive/counts/
setAvoidStyle) + new .explore facade. thumbsDown now passes the HEARD
(routed) vector, not the raw MLP output (raw == net output => inert cold-start).
- feedback/controller.ts: delete dislikes[] + applyDislikeBias + both C++ GAP
blocks + the SeededRng field; dislike() -> core dislikeGeometric (returns
action, 15 => cold-start prompt); like() feeds the centroid via the core
thumbsUp; getState() exposes positive/negative counts. Delete feedback/rng.ts.
- engine/exploration.ts: execute the P3 SWAP POINT -> drive engine.explore.*;
delete engine/jolt.ts + ou-explore.ts. UI surface unchanged.
- ConsoleApp: one-time cold-start banner (British spelling), routed heard vector
at the dislike call site.
- App.tsx/spine.ts: under ?debug=1 pin a fixed seed + fixed per-tick dt so the
probe/e2e are deterministic (production keeps time-seeded, real-time dt).
- tests: new geo-dislike.spec.ts; probe gains dislikeGeometric/storePositive/
feedbackCounts/setAvoidStyle; the thumbsDown probe test now drives a real
distinct-heard-vector dislike (bare thumbsDown on the net's own output is
correctly inert under the geometric core). 27 e2e + 9 unit green.
Docs: manifold/ONBOARDING.md engine+feedback sections synced.
Adds the Manifold app (manifold/) — the convertible-mode React front-end on
the real NISPS ML+audio engine, served live at meml.lnfinitemonkeys.org/next/.
Console chrome trimmed per UI pass:
- drop mode label + subtitle from the top-left overlay (keep MEMLNaut wordmark)
- remove the composite split preset/ratio readout (top-centre)
- remove the OUTPUT corner tag above the bars
- remove the A/B compare toggle from the verdict cluster
- remove the follow button + input/noise readout (bottom-left)
- remove AltitudeNav focus switcher (bottom-right)
