Accumulated Context
Decisions
Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table. Recent decisions affecting current work:
From Phase 2 (02-backing-track-seek-controls):
- jamClient must NOT be stored in Redux state - pass as prop instead (non-serializable)
- All jamClient methods in jam-ui return Promises - always use async/await pattern
- jamClient returns string values - always parseInt() before math operations
- End-of-track position requires SessionStopPlay() reset before new playback
From Phase 3 Plan 1 (03-backing-track-finalization):
- Volume control uses mixer system:
SessionSetTrackVolumeData(mixer.id, mixer.mode, trackVolumeObject) - Loop control uses direct API:
SessionSetBackingTrackFileLoop(backingTrack.path, shouldLoop) - UAT-003 resolved with state machine workaround (stores pending seek, applies on resume)
- Remove conditional fallback code - use correct methods directly
From Phase 3 Plan 2 (03-backing-track-finalization):
- Error types: file (red), network (red), playback (yellow), general (yellow)
- Loading states: isLoadingDuration (track fetch), isOperating (prevent rapid clicks)
- Disabled logic: buttons disabled during loading/operating/error
- Cleanup on unmount: stop playback to prevent stale state
- Network resilience: stop after 3 consecutive polling failures
From Phase 3 Plan 3 (03-backing-track-finalization):
- Performance: Visibility-aware polling (500ms visible, 2000ms hidden)
- Popup mode handling: Check
(isOpen || isPopup)since popup window = open - Backing track format: Handle both string (popup) and object (modal) with getBackingTrackPath helper
- Loop handling: Check isLooping flag before stopping at track end
- React optimizations: useCallback for handlers, conditional state updates
From Phase 4 Plan 1 (04-jamtrack-research-design):
- fqId format mandatory: All JamTrack jamClient calls require
{jamTrackId}-{sampleRate}format - 8-state sync machine: no_client, initial, packaging, downloading, keying, synchronized, quiet, errored
- JMEP must load before play:
JamTrackLoadJmep(fqId, jmepData)beforeJamTrackPlay(fqId) - Mixdown selection: pickMyPackage() filters by ogg/jkz/sample_rate matching client capabilities
- Callback pattern: jamClient download callbacks passed as string names, not function references
- loadJamTrack thunk bug identified: Uses jamTrack.id instead of correct fqId format
From Phase 4 Plan 2 (04-jamtrack-research-design):
- JKSessionJamTrackPlayer follows Backing Track patterns with extensions for download/sync and mixdown selection
- Redux state split: jamTrackState (playback), downloadState (sync machine), availableMixdowns (mixdown cache)
- 6 async thunks needed: loadJamTrack (enhanced), downloadJamTrack, checkJamTrackSync, loadJMEP, seekJamTrack, closeJamTrack
- Enhanced loadJamTrack fixes existing bug: uses fqId format instead of jamTrack.id
- 6-state download/sync machine: idle → checking → downloading → keying → synchronized → error
- Phase 5 preliminary scope: 9 plans, 2.5-3x complexity of Phase 3 Backing Track
- 5 critical decisions deferred to Phase 5: popup mode support, stem control integration, error recovery strategy, download cancellation, UAT deferral threshold
- HIGH risks identified: Download/sync state machine complexity, native client race conditions
- Component architecture: 10 sub-components (PlaybackControls, SeekSlider, TimeDisplay, MixdownPicker, DownloadProgress, ErrorDisplay, SyncStatus, VolumeControl, LoadingSpinner, EmptyState)
From Phase 5 Plan 1 (05-jamtrack-implementation):
- CRITICAL BUG FIXED: loadJamTrack now uses fqId format for JamTrackPlay call, unblocking all JamTrack functionality
- fqId construction moved outside conditional block to ensure consistent availability for all jamClient calls
- State organization: Separated concerns with jamTrackState (playback), downloadState (sync machine), mixdown state (availableMixdowns)
- jamTrackState structure: 7 fields tracking real-time playback (isPlaying, isPaused, currentPositionMs, durationMs, selectedMixdownId, playbackMode, lastUpdate)
- downloadState structure: 8 fields tracking 6-state machine (jamTrackId, mixdownId, fqId, state, progress, currentStep, totalSteps, error)
- Mixdown management: availableMixdowns array, activeMixdown object, mixdownCache map for efficient package lookups
- UI preferences: openJamTrack tracks currently open player, jamTrackUI stores user preferences (lastUsedMixdownId, volume)
- Redux foundation complete: 10 new reducers and 8 new selectors across 3 slices ready for Phase 5 Plans 2-5
From Phase 5 Plan 2 (05-jamtrack-implementation):
- Enhanced loadJamTrack checks sync state and triggers download if needed before playback
- downloadJamTrack uses global window callbacks for native client integration (callbacks passed as string names)
- seekJamTrack applies UAT-003 fix pattern (pending seek while paused, applied on resume)
- WebSocket handlers parse messages correctly with parseInt for numbers
- Thunks can dispatch other thunks using dispatch().unwrap() pattern
- Global callbacks named as strings for native client callback pattern (window.jamTrackDownloadProgress, etc.)
- Component cleanup on unmount with closeJamTrack thunk prevents memory leaks
- Component initialization pattern: buildFqId → check sync → autoPlay
- 6 async thunks complete: loadJamTrack (enhanced), downloadJamTrack, checkJamTrackSync, loadJMEP, seekJamTrack, closeJamTrack
- 3 WebSocket handlers active: MIXER_CHANGES (extended for mixdowns), JAM_TRACK_CHANGES (enhanced), MIXDOWN_CHANGES (new)
From Phase 5 Plan 3 (05-jamtrack-implementation):
- Reused Phase 3 Backing Track patterns for consistency (visibility-aware polling, UAT-003 fix, error handling)
- Playback controls with jamClient: JamTrackPlay/Pause/Resume/Stop/SeekMs
- Visibility-aware polling: 500ms visible, 2000ms hidden for position/duration updates
- Conditional state updates in polling (only dispatch if values changed)
- isOperating flag prevents rapid clicks during async operations
- formatTime utility for consistent MM:SS time display
- End-of-track handling: automatic stop and reset when position >= duration
- handleSeek with UAT-003 fix: pendingSeekRef for pause-seek-resume flow
Deferred Issues
From Phase 3 Plan 3 UAT:
-
End-of-track restart requires double-click (Minor)
- First click doesn't start playback, second click required
- Root cause: Race condition between component/native client state
- Needs: Investigation of native client state machine
-
Loop functionality not working (Medium)
- Loop checkbox can be enabled but track doesn't restart at end
- Root cause: Native client doesn't respect SessionSetBackingTrackFileLoop
- Needs: Verify jamClient API or implement loop manually in React
-
Volume control not working in popup mode (Medium)
- Architectural limitation: backingTrackMixers empty in popup mode
- Root cause: Mixer system not available without Redux state
- Needs: Architecture refactor or document as modal-only feature
Blockers/Concerns
None yet.
