Builds the SolidJS-side feature parity with the legacy a-immersive
playground. Every Phase 1–4 feature called out in
.local/recon/04-playground.md now flows through the runtime → stores →
primitives pipeline.
Phase 1 (compound axes / zoom / drawer / trail):
- control-routing.ts: resolves Boldness/Memory/Precision into
input/output/exploration store writes via createEffect.
- SettingsDrawer (new): tabbed sections for Input / Training /
Exploration / Output / Per-param overrides / Advanced. Per-param
ParamEditor list wires through modeStore.setOverride.
- JoyMap navigator added to ModeShell; tap-to-return + long-press
region pin handlers wired into the runtime.
- Anchor mode toggle (auto/sticky/center) exposed via drawer.
Phase 2 (pinning / history / A/B):
- features/snapshots.ts: bridge sessionStore push/pop to actual
Float32Array weights. Auto-snapshot before train/randomize/thumbs-down.
- Undo button + long-press snapshot list popup wired in ModeShell.
- A/B capture/toggle/accept/revert in SettingsDrawer.
- features/overrides.ts buildPinMask() composes override `pinned`
flags + sessionStore param pins; passed to mlStore.moveWeights.
- Region pinning long-press → addRegionPin + auto-snapshot tag
"pinned baseline".
Phase 3 (refinement / exploration):
- features/heatmap-sampler.ts: 16x16 grid via mlStore.inferBatch,
three colour modes, throttled 5/sec, refreshed on ml.trained /
ml.delta_update bus events.
- exploration-store.ts (new): RL noise level, floor/cap/growth/decay,
spread, learning rate, weight decay, auto-explore, pressure.
- Auto-explore timer in mode-runtime drives moveWeights at user
interval, zoom-scaled intensity.
- Pressure feedback: window pointerdown/up timestamps mapped to
explorationStore.setPressure; feeds growNoise/decayNoise.
Phase 4 (output / persistence / polish):
- features/weight-health.ts: histogram, status, per-layer L2 deltas,
vanishing/exploding/converged classification.
- features/session-preset.ts: full state capture/restore +
base64url URL sharing; main.tsx applies on load.
- SettingsDrawer Advanced tab renders WeightHealth, GradientFlow,
LayerStats, Heatmap, session preset save/load/share.
Override application:
- features/overrides.ts applies per-param mute/freeze/curve/range
between MLP outputs and the engine. Mode runtime exposes
`paramOutputs` (length = schema.params) which all modes now bind to
OutputDisplay so ranges and mutes are visible.
- Freeze flags push into outputStore.freezeMask reactively.
Mic input:
- features/mic-input.ts: getUserMedia + AnalyserNode-derived
{energy, brightness, pitch, aperiodicity}. Mode runtime feeds
them into channels 2..(input_size-1) when active. ModeShell shows
a Mic toggle for audio_in modes.
Debug probe (probe.ts):
- Synchronous bypass for snapshot, A/B, pins, overrides, axes,
spread, output freeze, heatmap, weight health, session presets,
URL params, bus emit/on. Untracked reads/writes throughout to
avoid SolidJS reactivity surprises in tests.
Modes:
- All 8 firmware mode TSX files now use the default SettingsDrawer
(no per-mode SliderBank scaffolding). They bind OutputDisplay to
runtime.paramOutputs (post-override) instead of processedOutputs.
Build status:
- bun run typecheck: clean
- bun run build: clean
- dev server smoke: index, /modes, mode-runtime, SettingsDrawer,
features/* all serve.
Note: bd close meml-5wg failed because Dolt server unreachable from
this worktree. Issue should be closed manually by orchestrator.
Stream 7 wires nisps/ml + nisps/engines into the playground via Emscripten.
Highlights:
- nisps/wasm/bindings.cpp: flat C API per architecture.md §6.2. Fixed-arch
MLP<2, 10, 14, 18, 126>; engine string→type dispatch table with NoOp
fallback.
- scripts/build-wasm.sh: emcc invocation, MODULARIZE=1, exports listed
explicitly; produces playground/public/nisps.{js,wasm}.
- playground/src/ml/wasm-iml.ts: main-thread MLP host (sync inference,
sync training, RL ops, weights I/O, layer stats, localStorage).
- playground/src/ml/wasm-worker.ts: disposable Web Worker for off-thread
async training, owns its own WASM instance.
- playground/src/ml/dataset.ts: Float32Array-backed FIFO with sample-weight
modes (uniform/global/local/combined). Port of legacy dataset.js.
- playground/src/audio/engine-host.ts: AudioContext + AudioWorkletNode
lifecycle, with start/stop/setEngine/setParams.
- playground/src/audio/worklet/nisps-processor.ts: WASM-loading
AudioWorkletProcessor that runs engine.process_block per 128-sample
block. Loads its own WASM instance from main-thread-supplied bytes
(no fetch in worklet).
- playground/src/stores/ml-store.ts: wired stub methods to WasmIML
singleton; lazy initialize().
- playground/src/debug/probe.ts: window.__nisps now calls real WasmIML
via the store; lazy-init on first use.
Verified:
- bash scripts/build-wasm.sh succeeds (94 KB nisps.wasm)
- bun run typecheck OK
- bun run build OK (production bundle)
- vite dev server serves /nisps.{js,wasm} with COOP/COEP
Known limitation: WASM is fixed at one MLP shape. Multi-arch deferred —
documented in nisps/wasm/README.md.
Fresh playground/ now sits on:
- Vite 5 + vite-plugin-solid + Solid.js 1.9
- TypeScript strict (jsx preserve, target ES2022)
- index.html → main.tsx → App.tsx with a tiny pushState/popstate router
- Design tokens (dark immersive palette, JetBrains Mono) at src/styles/tokens.css
- COOP/COEP headers in vite.config.ts (server + preview) so SharedArrayBuffer
is available for the C15 + AudioWorklet wiring stream 7 will land.
- Debug-probe stub at src/debug/probe.ts: window.__nisps with placeholder
methods + __ready=false marker. Stream 10 fills it in. Keeping the install
point stable from day one means Playwright tests can rely on the global
existing.
Stores, pipelines, and primitives ride in the next commits.
Stream 8 of the rewrite (meml-911).
