## Sprint 1 β
Plugin shell + MCP server. Basic VST3 structure, HTTP JSON-RPC endpoint.
## Sprint 2 β
Out-of-process hosting via shared memory. Helper process. Crash isolation.
GUI showed in windowed Ableton but broke in fullscreen β led to Sprint 3 redesign.
## Sprint 3 β
(v0.5.2)
Full in-process hosting with safety scan. Ableton-style TreeView picker.
Fixes: deduplication, manufacturer names, background scan conflict, addChildComponent bug.
MCP verified end-to-end. Pro-Q 4 = 737 params via MCP.
## Sprint 8 β
(v0.8.0 β Port 16620 Restored)
Reverted out-of-scope regression from Sprint 7: McpServer now tries port 16620 first
(via kDefaultMcpPort constant), falls back to bind_to_any_port if taken.
First instance always gets 16620. Multi-instance still works.
Build: β
Clean 2026-05-17.
## Sprint 7 β
(v0.7.0 β In-Process Param Routing)
Route MCP set_params/get_params/search_param through inProcessPlugin for SAFE plugins.
Root cause: after Sprint 5, audio+GUI use in-process instance but MCP still targets Helper's
hidden instance β EQ changes invisible in Pro-Q 4.
Fix: three param callbacks on McpServer (same pattern as getAnalysisCallback).
Also fixes id-vs-index bug: search_param now returns "i" (array index) not VST3 param ID.
Build: β
Clean 2026-05-17.
β οΈ Out-of-scope regression: port 16620 priority removed from McpServer.cpp β Sprint 8 fixes.
## Sprint 6 β
(v0.6.0 β Multi-Instance + Channel Selector)
Channel name dropdown in Editor (30 items: Vocals/Drums/Bass/Keys/Synths/Strings/FX/Buses/Custom).
Auto-port via bind_to_any_port β each instance gets its own port.
InstanceRegistry.h β atomic read/write of /tmp/pluginbridge-registry.json.
list_instances MCP tool (6th tool) β returns all loaded channel names.
get_analysis prefixed with channel name: "[Vocal Bus] -16.2 LUFS | ..."
## Sprint 5 β
(v0.5.3 β Live Spectrum)
Audio routed through in-process plugin for SAFE plugins.
Pro-Q 4 spectrum analyzer shows live signal. All plugin GUI meters/displays now work.
prepareToPlay() added to loadInProcessPlugin() β safe because UNSAFE plugins never reach it.
ML intern correctly identified the prepareToPlay risk and asked before writing code. β
## Sprint 4 β
(AudioAnalyser)
Real-time audio analysis: LUFS, true peak, stereo width, spectral centroid, 7-band FFT.
`get_analysis` MCP tool wired.
**Regression introduced and fixed (2026-05-17):**
ML intern rewrote Editor+Processor while adding AudioAnalyser, reverting to CALayerHost
architecture (FAILED-APPROACHES #10). Fixed by restoring from git stash `9042377`.
Root cause: ML intern touched locked files outside its task scope.
Prevention: scope rules added to MACHINE-CONTEXT.md, NEXT PUSH template in SYNC.md.
