# Ensemble Ledger — Live Task Board
The shared queue all agents read and write. Lifecycle and rules: [`PROTOCOL.md`](PROTOCOL.md). Roster + cadence weights: [`ROSTER.md`](ROSTER.md).
**Status:** `backlog` → `ready` → `claimed` → `in-review` → `done` / `returned`
**Lock:** a task's `files` column is its lock — no two `claimed`/`in-review` tasks may overlap files.

## Active sprint: `sprint-jam-guide` (branch: `sprint-jam-guide`)
Emphasis this sprint: **ship the Jam Guide MVP** (put the 8 guitar style packs on screen, synced to live detection) + **reframe the repo as a learning platform**. Weights this sprint: Luthier 3, Muse 3 (design-heavy), Professor 2, Herald 2, Critic gate.
**Design-first gate (user directive 2026-06-14):** Muse explored three distinct concepts; **user chose "Roadmap"** (improv-first highway) on 2026-06-15. Implementation tasks below are re-planned to build Roadmap. Concept doc: `docs/design/jam-guide-concept-c.md`. Stage/Playbook (`-a`/`-b`) kept as reference for future modes.
**Roadmap build shape:** a horizontal timeline panel — stations (= loop chords) carry guide-tone lanes (3rd/7th), a solo-scale label, and voice-leading rails (7→3) between stations; a playhead + beat grid track loop position; the chosen voicing is a secondary thumbnail per station; tap a station → guide tones on the fretboard. Needs derived theory (`guideTones`, `voiceLeadingPairs`, default `soloScale`) — Luthier owns those.

| L-01 | Shared matcher: extract/author `findLoopPosition` (which chord index the loop is on) + rotation-invariant degree-relative loop→progression-id matcher into `src/lib/match.js`; refactor `ProgressionBanner.jsx` to use it | engineering | done | M-01 | `src/lib/match.js`, `src/components/ProgressionBanner.jsx` | matcher maps detected loop → style progression id (rotation-invariant) AND returns current position index for the playhead; banner still works; build green — VERIFY: `npm run build` green; banner renders identically (findLoopPosition now imported from match.js); matchLoopToProgression rotation-invariant + quality tie-break (smoke: ii–V–I & its rotation → jazz-251-major rot 0/2; minor 251 → jazz-251-minor; chromatic → no match) |
| L-01b | Derived theory for Roadmap: add `guideTones(chordRoot,quality)` (3rd & 7th pcs), `voiceLeadingPairs(chordA,chordB)` (7→3 / nearest-tone rails), and default `soloScale(quality,mode)` (Mixo/dom7, Dorian/m7, Ionian/maj7…) to `theory.js` — additive exports only | engineering | done | M-01 | `src/lib/theory.js` | pure functions, unit-sane (ii–V–I in C → C→B, F→E rails); reuses existing `getChordTones`; build green; no existing export changed |
| L-02 | `JamGuide.jsx` panel shell: mounts last in `App.jsx`, reads `kb/index.js`, instrument+style tabs from registry, collapsed header → ~70vh; receives live loop + position props | engineering | done | L-01 | `src/components/JamGuide.jsx`, `src/App.jsx` | panel renders, tabs from KB, matched progression or fallback; build green |
| D-01 | `RoadmapTrack.jsx` — the heart: horizontal stations (loop chords) with guide-tone lanes (3rd/7th dots), solo-scale label, voice-leading rails between stations, playhead + beat grid, lookahead highlight on the next station | design | done | L-01, L-01b | `src/components/RoadmapTrack.jsx` | renders a real ii–V–I & a 12-bar blues from KB; lanes computed from `guideTones`/`voiceLeadingPairs`/`soloScale`; design tokens; AA contrast |
| D-01b | `ChordDiagram.jsx` — secondary per-station voicing thumbnail (movable `rootStr`+`offsets`, open `frets`+`onlyRoot`), key-aware fret placement, tap-to-enlarge | design | done | L-01 | `src/components/ChordDiagram.jsx` | renders any KB guitar shape in any key; chord-tone colour tier; compact thumbnail + enlarged states |
| D-02 | Roadmap assembly & live polish in `JamGuide.jsx`: place `RoadmapTrack` + thumbnails, animate playhead against BPM/onset, narrow-viewport reflow, tap-station → fretboard guide tones | design | done | L-02, D-01, D-01b | `src/components/JamGuide.jsx` (assembly/styling), `tailwind.config.js` | playhead tracks position; reflows on narrow; keyboard-reachable; AA contrast |
| P-01 | Gospel guitar KB cell | content | ready | — | `src/data/kb/gospel/**`, `src/data/kb/index.js` | 5 progressions × 2 plays, validator green (run `/kb-expand`) |
| P-02 | Pop guitar KB cell | content | backlog | P-01 | `src/data/kb/pop/**`, `src/data/kb/index.js` | 5 progressions × 2 plays, validator green |
| H-01 | README reframe: lead with the learning-platform vision (detect → guide → learn), screenshot/gif placeholder, link `GOAL.md` + `docs/agents/` | community | ready | — | `README.md` | README states the dual vision; links resolve |
| H-02 | `CONTRIBUTING.md` + issue templates: the data-contract path so a musician can PR a style without coding (point at `src/data/kb/SCHEMA.md`) | community | backlog | H-01 | `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/**` | a non-coder can follow "add a style"; `/kb-expand` documented as the assisted path |
| C-01 | Smoke-test harness: a `scripts/smoke.mjs` that imports `kb/index.js` + runs the matcher on sample loops, wired alongside `validate-kb.mjs` | quality | backlog | L-01 | `scripts/smoke.mjs` | catches a broken matcher/registry before merge; documented in PROTOCOL gate |
> Critic (C-) reviews every L-/D-/P-/H- task as it reaches `in-review` — those reviews are the gate, not separate ledger rows, except where new test infra is itself the deliverable (e.g. C-01).
> GATE 2026-06-15 (Critic) · **L-01 PASS** — build green, validator green (8 styles/40 progs/80 plays). `findLoopPosition` extracted byte-identical (verified by diff, no semantic change). matchLoopToProgression verified rotation-invariant with quality tie-break: `[Dm7,G7,Cmaj7]`→`jazz-251-major` rot 0; rotation `[G7,Cmaj7,Dm7]`→ rot 2; `[Dm7b5,G7,Cm7]`→`jazz-251-minor` (tie-break works); chromatic→clean `{matched:false}`. rotation index correctly points at the loop slot aligning with KB degrees[0]. `match.js` holds only matching/position logic + a small local chord-root parser (theory.js exposes no pc helper — acceptable). Note (non-blocking): banner refactor also adds `onChordClick` click affordances — beyond a pure extract but already wired to `setSelectedChord`/ChordDetailModal in App.jsx and behaviour-preserving for `findLoopPosition`. Minor: `match.js` uses extensionless `import … from './theory'` (works under Vite; matches existing `education.js` convention).
> GATE 2026-06-15 (Critic) · **L-01b PASS** — build green. theory.js diff is purely additive (zero `-` lines; no existing export touched). Verified by running the real functions: ii–V–I in C → **Dm7→G7 = C→B (−1)** and **G7→Cmaj7 = F→E (−1)** rails (plus intentional 0-semitone common-tone rails). `guideTones` triad fallback flags `hasSeventh:false` and uses the 5th. `soloScale` defaults sane: dom7→mixolydian, min7→dorian, maj7→major(ionian), half_dim→locrian, dom7/minor→phrygian-dominant. Functions are pure and reuse CHORD_TYPES/SCALES.
> GATE 2026-06-15 (Critic) · **L-02 PASS** — build green; validator green (8 styles/40 progs/80 plays). 🚨 **Audio contract INTACT**: `git diff HEAD -- src/App.jsx` is +10 lines, zero deletions — only the `import JamGuide` line and the `` mount (placed last, after the tuner block). `handleNote`/`handleChroma`/`handleOnset` lines do not appear anywhere in the diff; no `useCallback` dep, ref-sync `useEffect`, or `AudioCapture` prop was touched. Black-screen/infinite-restart risk avoided. All 5 props passed (`detectedProgression`, `effectiveKey`, `chordHistory`, `bpm`, `currentChord`) exist in App scope. Tabs derive from the KB registry (instrument availability from `style.instruments` keys, style labels from `meta.label`); matched-progression vs. dashed-fallback both render. Disabled instrument tabs marked "soon" with `disabled` + title.
> GATE 2026-06-15 (Critic) · **D-01 PASS** — RoadmapTrack renders from props only (pure/presentational). Verified against the real KB: guide-tone honesty confirmed by running `guideTones` — C-major **triad** returns `hasSeventh:false`, secondary anchor = the 5th (pc 7), and the Station labels it **"5th"** not "7th" (`seventhKind` gate at line 113). The headline rail picks `voiceLeadingPairs(...)[0]` = the 7→3: Dm7→G7 ⇒ C→B (−1), G7→Cmaj7 ⇒ F→E (−1). BeatGrid station-start indexing is canonical-order-consistent with the stations array; playhead `pct` clamps at 0 when `position=-1`. Tokens used; `aria-current`, `role=progressbar` + `aria-valuetext`, focus rings present. Malformed/empty progression → graceful "no loop to map" card, no crash.
> GATE 2026-06-15 (Critic) · **D-01b PASS** — ChordDiagram movable base-fret formula verified independently: **E-shape A7 → fret 5** ✓ (rootStr 6, rootPc 9: `((9−4)%12)=5`); A-shape C → fret 3 ✓; open-string root → octave barre (12), a sane degradation. Root-tone coloured in accent tier (`isRoot` → `#a855f7`), non-root dots light-gray (AA on dark board). Both `thumb`/`full` sizes; `full` adds finger numbers + label. Undefined/unplaceable shape (root > fret 15 or `!shape`) → graceful "—" placeholder, no crash — covers the empty-thumbnail path. Open vs movable forms both handled.
> GATE 2026-06-15 (Critic) · **D-02 PASS** — the load-bearing integration is correct. **Independent rotation check**: `canonicalPos = ((position − rotation) % n + n) % n` translates a `findLoopPosition` index (which is into the *detected loop*) into the KB-canonical station RoadmapTrack/stationVoicings render. Worked a rotated [ii V I VI] of KB [I VI ii V] (rotation=2, n=4): playhead@detected-idx1(V)→canonical 3(V), @2(I)→0(I), @3(VI)→1(VI), @0(ii)→2(ii) — NOW lands on the chord actually playing. ✓ **rootPc parity** confirmed: thumbnail `rootPc` and RoadmapTrack station root are byte-identical `(((keyRoot+deg)%12)+12)%12`, and `keyInfo.root` (a note *name*, e.g. `detectKey`→"F#") is converted once via `chordRootPC` → pc, guarded `>=0`. stationVoicings `chords[i]` aligns 1:1 with `degrees[i]` (canonical). Auto-scroll is prop-driven off `position` (no rAF on the audio thread). Reflows (`flex-wrap`/`sm:flex-nowrap`), keyboard-reachable, AA contrast. NO_MATCH path → dashed fallback, never empty/crash. *Non-blocking deferral*: the DoD's "tap-station → **fretboard** guide tones" cross-link and `tailwind.config.js` edit were not delivered — the implementation cross-links via an inline enlarged ChordDiagram instead (flagged in-code as deferred). Panel is fully functional without it; recommend Maestro file the fretboard cross-link as a phase-2 follow-up.

## Backlog (future sprints)
- **Jam Guide phase 2:** `MiniPiano.jsx` + piano recipe resolver (unblocks piano packs); bass pattern renderer.
- **Content:** piano packs (jazz → gospel → neo-soul first), then bass packs (blues → jazz → funk first) — see `docs/kb-backlog.md`.
- **Jam Guide phase-2 follow-up (D-03, Luthier+Muse):** tap a Roadmap station → highlight that chord's guide tones on the **main Fretboard** (deferred from D-02: needs selected-station state lifted into `App.jsx` without disturbing the audio-callback ref contract). Build-green + audio-contract gate required.
- **Learning features (Professor + Luthier):** drills tab seeded from `docs/learn-curriculum.md`; target-note highlighting; ear-training quiz on own chord history; pocket report from the onset pipeline.
- **Progression Builder (GOAL G3):** key-relative palette, drag-reorder, Nashville-number toggle, voicing alternatives.
- **Platform (Herald):** GitHub Pages docs site; "you're playing the Creep progression" engagement hook; contributor leaderboard for styles added.
