Configure the release variant's output filename (via the legacy applicationVariants
API) so the unsigned release APK is stamped with its versionCode — e.g.
space.rcmd.android.sizzle_4.apk — to simplify uploading to the private F-Droid
repo. Staging keeps its app-staging.apk name.

Lay out and place the SF2/XI loader's audition keyboard like the toolbox and
tracker keyboards: extract it into SoundFontKeyboard (an octave selector above two
weighted octaves) and pin it at the bottom of the device editor, with the controls
scrolling in a weighted region above (1.7 : 1, matching the toolbox tab) — so it's
the same height and always visible instead of scrolling away. Patch bump to 0.3.1
(versionCode 4).

- SF2/XI loader: add a Loop XFade control (ms, 0-500) next to the loop toggle.
SampleVoice crossfades the loop tail into its head for a click-free seam even
when the file's loop points don't match; 0 ms keeps the previous hard wrap.
Threaded through VoiceSample and all noteOn call sites.
- Add a reusable RepeatButton: fires on press then auto-repeats while held with
an exponentially shrinking interval (stops on release/scroll-off). Applied to
every +/- stepper (tempo, MIDI channel, arrangement repeats, audition/keyboard
octave, and the new crossfade).
- Bump version to 0.3.0 (versionCode 3) per the minor-per-change policy.

Global rename of the app/package identifier from
com.reactorcoremeltdown.sizzletracker to space.rcmd.android.sizzle:
- build.gradle.kts: applicationId + namespace.
- Move the Kotlin source tree (main + test) and rewrite every package/import.
- native_audio.cpp: JNI symbol names (Java_space_rcmd_android_sizzle_...) so the
Oboe callback still links against the relocated NativeAudioBridge.
- docs: package/file-map header.
The desktop-project GitHub URLs (github.com/reactorcoremeltdown/sizzletracker)
and the Reactorcoremeltdown copyright/SPDX author identity are intentionally left
unchanged. Note: the new applicationId installs as a separate package (existing
installs won't upgrade in place).

- Add GPL-3.0 LICENSE and SPDX headers (GPL-3.0-or-later) to every source file
(58 Kotlin, the C++ file, and the sample-pack HTML tool).
- README: state the GPL-3.0-or-later license (+ badge); fix stale "256 beats"
-> "256 bars"; fix build instructions (the Gradle wrapper is committed);
mention master recording and the sample-pack tool.
- DEVELOPER_HANDOVER: resync with the codebase — corrected the wrapper note,
architecture diagram, full file map, the add-instrument/effect guide, Oboe
(now default with fallback, not an opt-in toggle), moved SF2/XI to implemented,
and added recently shipped features with an honest remaining/optional list.
- Fix a pre-existing broken unit test: SngFormatTest called the old
SngFormat.import(text); the API is importInto(project, text). Tests compile
and pass again.

- Denominate the canvas in bars (lengthBars, default 256) instead of a raw beat
count; canvasBeats(sig) = lengthBars * beatsPerBar, so it spans exactly 256
bars in any signature. Backing arrays sized for the widest case (5/4 -> 1280
beats). Playback still stops at lastFilledBeat, so the wider empty canvas adds
no trailing silence.
- Roll: draw with viewport culling (iterate only the beats scrolled into view)
so the ~16x-wider canvas stays cheap to redraw and scrolls smoothly.
- Persistence: store bars= (was len= in beats) and write cells only up to the
last filled beat; old files without bars= load the default 256-bar canvas with
their cells intact. .sng import grows the canvas in bars as needed.

- Theme: pick a light or dark Material base scheme by palette luminance and map
the palette onto the container/variant/outline/secondary roles components
actually read, so cards and secondary text stay legible on bright themes.
- Audio: remove the experimental stereo-FX rendering and the tape-delay per-head
balance (both worked poorly); each channel runs a single mono FX chain again.
Master output and recording remain stereo (dual-mono content).
- Tools: add tools/samplepack-builder.html, a standalone page for assembling
Sampler .zip preset bundles (16 note-labelled drag-n-drop pads, audition,
16-bit mono WAV re-encode, duplicate-sample detection).

Stereo effects (experimental), off by default and persisted:
- When on, each mono insert effect runs a second instance for the right
channel so upstream stereo (e.g. a delay's width) carries into later
effects like the reverb; the delay stays single-instance (nativeStereo).
- Settings toggle under Audio Devices; rebuilds the FX chains on change.
Seamless system bars:
- SizzleTheme tints the system navigation bar to the palette's surface
(matching the bottom tab bar) and the status bar to the background, with
light/dark icon appearance by luminance, re-applied on theme change.

- fillBlock now outputs interleaved stereo; AudioTrack and native Oboe
configured for 2 channels; MasterRecorder writes a stereo WAV.
- AudioEffect gains processStereo() (default mono-collapse); the tape delay
overrides it to pan each of its 4 heads with a level-preserving linear pan
(feedback still uses the mono sum, so loop behaviour is unchanged).
- New per-head balance param + a horizontal balance slider under each head's
division fader (center-detented, L/C/R readout), with a revision read so it
redraws.
Note: only the delay produces stereo width; other insert effects stay mono
and collapse upstream stereo, so place the delay last to keep its panning.

Recording & audio:
- Master-bus WAV recorder: arm + FX-tail + SAF output folder on the mixer
toolbar; allocation-free capture (ring buffer -> writer thread).
- Oboe is now the default backend; falls back to AudioTrack only on init
error and shows a popup. Removed the manual engine toggle.
- Arpeggiator: fixed loop-boundary slip (phase-continuous), monophonic
(no chord/voice pile-up), and a per-bar reset toggle.
- AmbienceReverb: 8-line FDN (was 16) to fit the real-time budget; per-bus
soft-clip limiter; per-channel non-finite guard on the master sum.
UI / layout:
- Responsive landscape layouts: side nav rail; tracker grid beside the
arrangement/keyboard; toolbox tiles beside a wider keyboard; two-column
mixer strips; collapsed transport toolbar.
- Two-column instrument/effect editors; reverb controls paged with dot
pagination.
- Arrangement: per-lane mute toggles; center-follow scrolling.
- Tracker toolbar: BLK dropdown, SKIP moved by OFF/KBD, glyph edit buttons.
- Sampler: normalize button, per-pad volume snap, single CLEAR.
- Import error popups; content validation on all file loaders.
- App themes: import/export/delete/dropdown library (stock themes protected).
Persistence & QoL:
- Persist keyboard MIDI channel/octave; remember loaded project in the
settings dropdown; New Project button.
Cleanup:
- Removed dead code and fixed audio-thread allocation hot spots
(per-sample iterators, Math.random on the RT thread, etc.).

A retro, grid-based music tracker for Android (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose,
single Activity) with four equally-capable input methods (touch, keyboard,
gamepad, MIDI) and four tabs: tracker, mixer, toolbox, settings.
Highlights:
- Tracker: Canvas-drawn 4-track pattern grid over an 8-lane arrangement roll,
with a glyph cache and draw-phase state reads so the playhead and edits
redraw without per-frame recomposition.
- Audio: sample-accurate sequencer feeding a shared AudioEngine, driven by
either a Kotlin AudioTrack loop or native Oboe/AAudio via JNI (16 KB-aligned
native libs). media3 MediaSession for lock-screen/headset transport.
- Toolbox: 16 instrument/effect slots with a 2-octave audition keyboard;
single-tap select, double-tap edit, long-press clear.
- Note entry: long-press cell popups (piano keyboard / value steppers) plus
keyboard/gamepad stepping that resumes from the last note/channel entered.
Velocity capped at 0x7F, channel at 16.
- Selection/clipboard (cut/copy/paste/delete) and .sng import/export
compatible with the reference desktop tool.
- A `profile` build type (non-debuggable, debug-signed) for realistic
on-device performance testing.
- Developer handover documentation under docs/.
