feat(nisps-core,vcv): complete Phase 0 + Phase 1
...
Phase 0 — spread-aware API ported to nisps-core C++:
- MLP::DrawWeightsSpread(T spread) — interpolate uniform↔Xavier per layer
- MLP::MoveWeightsSpread(T speed, T spread) — per-layer noise + weight decay
- IML::randomise_weights(Float spread) and IML::move_weights(speed, spread)
- 5 unit tests (10/10 total pass)
Phase 1 — VCV Rack 2 plugin skeleton:
- Makefile with C++20, nisps-core include path
- plugin.json manifest
- Empty MEMLNaut module: 2 inputs, 12 outputs, placeholder SVG panel
- static_assert verifies nisps-core headers resolve
- C++20 confirmed working in VCV SDK (8 existing plugins use it)

docs(vcv): third review — input ranges, CV modulation, lifecycle, smoke test
...
- Add per-input range configuration (unipolar/bipolar) for LFO vs envelope compat
- Add SPREAD CV input for automated exploration/precision control
- Add background thread graceful shutdown (shouldStop flag + join timeout)
- Document multi-instance behavior (per-instance threads, ~80KB each)
- Add integration smoke test milestone after Phase 2 (go/no-go gate)
- Note OSC library dependency for Phase 8
- Fix 30HP layout: acknowledge density, defer validation to Phase 9

docs(vcv): fix 7 issues from second fresh-eyes review
...
1. Rename derived output SPREAD → STD to avoid collision with SPREAD knob
2. Route thumbs-down through background thread (was mutating inference
MLP directly — data race). Establish single-writer threading invariant.
3. Add rapid feedback queueing with coalescing (max queue depth 1)
4. Document slew-on-slew interaction (decimation + crossfade compose cleanly)
5. Cut compact (20HP) panel — physically impossible to fit 22 jacks
6. Define derived output defaults with 0 examples (NOVELTY=10V, CONFIDENCE=0V)
7. Initial random output is intentional (shows liveness, gives RL starting point)

docs(vcv): address spec gaps from fresh-eyes review
...
- Fix licensing: nisps-core is MPL-2.0, VCV SDK is GPLv3
- Fix VCV Rack 2 description: Community Edition is free, Pro is paid
- Add Phase 0: port spread-aware drawWeights/moveWeights to nisps-core C++
- Detail threading model: two MLP instances, atomic swap flag, memory cost
- Add configurable output slew (default 10ms) for post-training crossfade
- Add input signal handling: mono channel 0, hard-clamp out-of-range CV
- Add .nisps file format version field for forward compatibility
- Document dataset capacity (100 max, FIFO forgetting)
- Specify novelty/confidence computation strategy (training thread, cached grid)
- Add open questions: novelty grid scaling, C++20 toolchain, expander protocol

docs(vcv): add VCV Rack module specification
...
Full spec for MEMLNaut VCV Rack module based on interview:
- 2-8 configurable CV inputs, 12 raw + 5 derived CV outputs
- RL feedback via panel buttons + CV triggers with learn gate guard
- nisps-core C++ engine with background thread training
- User-configurable inference rate (block to audio rate)
- Bidirectional state transfer with companion webapp (file + OSC)
- 10-phase development plan from skeleton to distribution
