No runtime code or media asset changes are planned unless the audit exposes a narrow blocking defect. * BQC status: N/A - no application code changed in this session. * Existing dirty changes: none at session start (`git status --short` returned no output). *** ## Audio Review Ledger ### Review Environment | Item | Evidence | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Repository | `/home/aiwithapex/projects/aios` | | Current session | `phase36-session01-current-audio-balance-audit` | | Review date | 2026-06-28 | | Initial working tree | Clean before session edits | | Browser review mode | `agent-browser` product snapshot plus Playwright Chromium desktop 1440x1000 and mobile 390x844 fetch instrumentation | | Audio output limitation | No direct acoustic monitor is available to the agent; audible quality notes use browser playback-path evidence plus objective volume measurements | ### Baseline Asset Inventory | Area | Result | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Music files | 6 Ogg files under `src/assets/ai-rogue/audio/music/` | | SFX files | 45 Ogg files under `src/assets/ai-rogue/audio/sfx/` | | Music provenance | `provenance.json` contains 6 track records | | SFX provenance | `provenance.json` contains 45 cue records | | Music sizes | 246800-738060 bytes; all below the 900 KB AI Rogue music cap | | SFX sizes | 3987-16422 bytes; all below the default committed asset cap | | Format metadata | Music is 48000 Hz stereo; SFX is 48000 Hz mono | | Duration range | Music: 27.706500-83.106500 seconds; SFX: 0.486500-2.256500 seconds | Inventory notes: * No new media assets were added in this session. * The current committed asset tree matches the Phase 36 baseline exactly: six music tracks and 45 SFX files. * Variant-capable high-frequency cues have second files for `hit`, `enemy_defeated`, `player_hurt`, `shard_pickup`, `ui_click`, and `wall_bump`. ### Runtime Mapping Inventory | Runtime Area | Current Behavior | | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | SFX URL loading | Eager Vite URL glob for `src/assets/ai-rogue/audio/sfx/*.ogg`, with lazy decode at playback time | | Music URL loading | Eager Vite URL glob for `src/assets/ai-rogue/audio/music/*.ogg`, with lazy decode at playback time | | SFX cue map | 39 typed cue IDs map to 45 committed files | | Music cue map | `title`, `sector_1`, `sector_2`, `sector_3`, `victory`, and `defeat` map to the six music files | | Deterministic variants | `hit`, `enemy_defeated`, `player_hurt`, `shard_pickup`, `ui_click`, and `wall_bump` each map to two files | | Variant selection | Stable FNV-style hash of `variantSeed` modulo variant count; random only when no seed is provided | | Default preferences | `muted: false`, `masterVolume: 0.9`, `musicVolume: 0.55`, `sfxVolume: 0.85` | | Explicit cue precedence | `event.audioCues` are dispatched before fallback event-type/message matching | | Fallback dispatch | Attack, defeat, hazard, pickup, door, descend, threat, status, blocked, win, and loss map to appropriate one-shots | | Reduced cue volumes | Status applied/cleansed 0.8; equipment 0.75; wall/invalid 0.85; heartbeat 0.7; telegraph 0.8; some hazards/status fallback 0.75-0.85; whiffed strike 0.7 | | Silent fallback | Missing Web Audio returns `SILENT_ENGINE`; fetch/decode failures return null buffers and do not throw | | Music routing | `musicTrackForDepth(1)` -> `sector_1`, depth 2 -> `sector_2`, depth 3+ -> `sector_3` | | Not implemented | No sidechain, compressor, event-based ducking, second music bus, ambience bus, or theme-aware routing | Inventory notes: * The runtime remains presentation-only and does not feed audio selection back into deterministic simulation state. * Explicit cue dispatch is ready for protocol/objective events, but remaining broad fallbacks still inspect event type and some message text. ### Renderer And Preference Wiring Inventory | Renderer Area | Current Behavior | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Audio import | `renderer.ts` dynamically imports `./audio` after Pixi atlas setup | | Initial preferences | Renderer creates audio engine with `audioPreferences(state)` | | Title queueing | Renderer calls `audio.playMusic("title", { fadeMs: 800 })` on mount; engine queues it until unlock if no context exists | | Unlock trigger | Runtime `start`, `pause`, `resume`, `reset`, `save`, and `load` call `audio.unlock()` before audio feedback | | Run start | Fresh start plays `run_start` and switches from title to depth music | | UI confirmations | Pause, resume, reset, save, and load play restrained `ui_click` | | Music transitions | `renderer-audio-adapter.ts` plays depth music on descend, victory music on win, and defeat music on loss | | Heartbeat | Adapter enables heartbeat only for active running snapshots with HP ratio above 0 and at or below 30% | | Reset/load cleanup | Reset and load stop music and heartbeat before rebuilding/restoring runtime state | | Preference schema | `save-schema.ts` persists `audioMuted`, `musicVolume`, and `sfxVolume` with defaults false, 0.55, and 0.85 | | Settings view | Settings offers a mute checkbox plus 5% step music and effects sliders | | Runtime preference handoff | `use-runtime-controller.ts` forwards persisted audio preferences into `controller.updatePreferences()` | | Live preference application | Renderer `updatePreferences()` updates state and calls `audio.setPreferences(audioPreferences(state))` | Inventory notes: * Browser autoplay policy is respected because the renderer queues title music but only unlocks on user gesture/control actions. * Mute disables the master gain while preserving music and SFX slider values. ### Focused Test Coverage Inventory | Coverage Area | Existing Focused Evidence | | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | No Web Audio | Test verifies no-throw silent no-op engine when `AudioContext` is unavailable | | AudioContext constructor failure | Test verifies audio calls stay no-op safe if construction throws | | Fetch failure | Test verifies failed audio fetches are swallowed without throwing | | Decode failure | Test verifies failed `decodeAudioData` is swallowed without throwing | | Dispose cleanup | Test verifies active music and heartbeat sources stop and context closes | | Fallback event dispatch | Test dispatches attack, defeat, pickup, blocked, and win events to one-shots | | Title unlock | Test verifies title music fetch is delayed until `unlock()` | | Explicit cue precedence | Test verifies `compile_payload` and `final_defense_survived` explicit cues play before fallback | | Dispose before decode | Test verifies decoded audio is not started after disposal | | Visual feedback coupling | Render model/effects code uses selected `audioCues` for protocol/objective visual feedback | Inventory notes: * The focused audio suite exercises runtime integrity and fallback behavior but cannot judge audible balance, fatigue, or perceived mix quality. * Protocol/objective explicit cue dispatch has unit coverage for precedence; broader protocol/objective path coverage is spread through simulation and browser tests. ### Durable Game-Feel Contract Inventory | Contract Area | Current Durable Contract | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Runtime owner | `runtime/audio.ts` is playback, mixing, looping, and preference layer only | | Source assets | Project-owned generated assets committed under `src/assets/ai-rogue/audio/` | | Autoplay | AudioContext is created/resumed only after user gesture through `unlock()` | | Loading | Audio buffers are lazily fetched/decoded and cached by URL | | Unit-test boundary | Renderer dynamically imports audio so happy-dom tests do not eagerly load asset globs | | Fallback | Web Audio absence degrades to silent no-op behavior | | Preferences | `audioMuted`, `musicVolume`, and `sfxVolume` persist through preferences schema and Settings view | | Not current behavior | No sidechain, compressor, transient music-gain reduction, event ducking, ambience bus, or external wrapper | | Music behavior | Title loop after unlock, sector music on run/depth, victory/defeat themes, reset/destroy stop music | | SFX behavior | Simulation events and runtime controls drive one-shots; high-frequency cues use deterministic variants | | Heartbeat | Low-HP heartbeat loop runs at active HP ratios above 0 and at or below 30% | | Media policy | AI Rogue music: 48 kHz stereo Ogg Opus under 900 KB; SFX: 48 kHz mono Ogg Opus under 200 KB | | Provenance | Music and SFX provenance stays beside committed runtime assets | | Remote loading | Deferred CDN/R2 strategy only; current assets are committed and served through Vite pipeline | Inventory notes: * Current docs explicitly warn that headless tests can verify pixels/runtime behavior but audio output still needs real browser/manual review. * This session did not add media; asset-size validation still runs at T020. ### Cue-Level Review Matrix | Cue Group | Cue IDs / Tracks | Runtime Touchpoint | Objective Signal | Session 01 Review State | | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Title loop | `title` / `01_title_menu_loop.ogg` | Queued on renderer mount; starts after `unlock()` | 69.306500s, mean -18.9 dB, max -4.0 dB | Candidate pass for routing; browser review must judge pre-run loop fatigue | | Sector music | `sector_1`, `sector_2`, `sector_3` | Run start and descend through `musicTrackForDepth()` | 83.106500s loops, means -18.7 to -19.2 dB | Candidate pass for depth music; theme identity remains deferred to Session 04/05 | | End music | `victory`, `defeat` | Win/loss terminal music in adapter | Victory mean -20.4 dB; defeat mean -17.8 dB | Candidate pass; defeat is objectively hotter and needs browser check | | Run start | `run_start` | Fresh runtime start | Mean -16.7 dB, max 0.0 dB | Candidate pass; browser check must confirm it is not too sharp over title fade | | Heartbeat | `heartbeat` | Low HP loop at HP ratio <= 0.3 | 2.256500s, mean -15.7 dB, max -1.9 dB, engine volume 0.7 | Candidate pass; fatigue check should confirm it stays tense without masking SFX | | Core player combat | `strike`, `hit`, `surge` | Explicit/fallback attack dispatch | Strike mean -18.8 dB; hit variants -14.5/-15.6 dB; surge -18.8 dB | Candidate pass; hit cues are intentionally prominent | | Enemy combat | `enemy_melee`, `enemy_defeated` | Fallback enemy attack/defeat dispatch | Enemy melee mean -21.0 dB, max 0.0 dB; defeated variants -18.8/-20.3 dB | Candidate pass; enemy family identity remains deferred to Session 02/03 | | Player hurt | `player_hurt` variants | Explicit/fallback damage dispatch | Means -21.0/-18.8 dB; peaks 0.0/-1.0 dB | Candidate pass; variant A is stronger and needs fatigue check | | Pickups | `shard_pickup`, `health_pickup`, `relic_taken` | Pickup fallback and explicit events | Shard variants -23.9/-24.7 dB; health -21.5 dB; relic -22.5 dB | Candidate pass; shard cues are quiet by design but need browser confirmation | | Doors and descent | `door`, `descend` | Door and descend events | Door mean -15.6 dB, max 0.0 dB; descend mean -17.8 dB | Candidate pass; door is prominent | | Threat and hazard | `telegraph`, `hazard_tick` | Threat/hazard fallback and explicit cues | Telegraph mean -14.0 dB; hazard mean -19.8 dB | Candidate pass; hazard has only one variant and needs repetition review | | Shield and status | `shield_absorb`, `shield_break`, `status_applied`, `status_cleansed` | Explicit cues and fallback message dispatch | Shield absorb -15.9 dB; shield break -24.6 dB; status -23.8/-23.3 dB | Candidate follow-up: verify shield break/status do not disappear under music | | Movement errors | `wall_bump`, `invalid_action` | Blocked fallback and explicit events | Wall variants -15.5/-12.6 dB; invalid -21.4 dB | Candidate follow-up: wall bump variant A is the loudest mean SFX | | Protocol pickups/actions | `protocol_pickup`, `protocol_patch_kit`, `protocol_trace_map`, `protocol_signal_jammer`, `protocol_trace_lance`, `protocol_phase_step` | Explicit protocol events | Trace lance -15.8 dB; signal jammer -23.6 dB; others -20.2 to -21.8 dB | Candidate pass; signal jammer may be subtle compared with trace lance | | Objective and rewards | `key_fragment`, `objective_unlock`, `equipment_equip` | Explicit key/objective/equipment events | Key/objective -21.8 dB; equip -19.4 dB | Candidate pass; objective cue needs browser confirmation | | Vault/cache | `vault_unlock`, `cache_open` | Explicit vault/cache events | Vault -21.4 dB; cache -25.6 dB | Candidate follow-up: cache may be too quiet for reward weight | | Terminal | `terminal_open`, `terminal_accept` | Explicit terminal events | Open -26.6 dB; accept -20.0 dB | Candidate follow-up: terminal open may be too quiet | | Compile/final defense | `compile_payload`, `final_defense_survived` | Explicit compile/final defense events | Compile -26.5 dB; final defense -21.7 dB | Candidate follow-up: compile payload may be too quiet for milestone weight | | UI controls | `ui_click` variants | Pause/resume/reset/save/load confirmations only | Means -22.8/-23.9 dB; variant A peak 0.0 dB | Candidate pass; restrained routing is correct, variant A peak needs browser check | | Victory/defeat stings | `victory_sting`, `defeat_sting` | Win/loss one-shots | Victory -20.1 dB; defeat -15.3 dB | Candidate pass; defeat sting is hotter and needs browser check | Matrix notes: * "Candidate" findings are based on source routing and objective amplitude scan. Browser checks in T010-T013 decide final pass/fail wording. * Objective volume uses `ffmpeg` `volumedetect` mean and max levels, not LUFS. * No cue currently requires runtime code changes before the browser review. ### Desktop Browser Review Environment: * Dev server: `http://127.0.0.1:5189/` * Browser route: `/extensions/ai-rogue/play?seed=desktop-fetch-review` * Viewport: 1440x1000 desktop Chromium * Review type: browser-instrumented playback-path review. The environment did not provide a direct acoustic monitor for subjective listening. Results: * Product surface: PASS - first viewport showed AI Rogue Play, runtime status, product controls, and "How to play"; no developer diagnostics panel was open by default. * Unlock/title queueing: PASS - wrapped `window.fetch` recorded no Ogg fetches before the user clicked Start. * Start audio path: PASS - after Start, audio fetches were `01_title_menu_loop.ogg`, `14_run_start.ogg`, and `02_sector_1_cold_cache_drift.ogg`. * Sector music: PASS - depth 1 started sector 1 music through the runtime route. * Runtime controls: PASS - pause/resume/save added only `ui_click` variants (`44_ui_click_variant_a.ogg`, `13_ui_click.ogg`), confirming restrained UI routing for runtime controls. * Gameplay path after audio unlock: PASS - keyboard movement advanced to an active turn and saving produced "Saved slot 1"; no page errors were recorded. * Mute and volume preferences: PASS - Settings persisted `audioMuted: true`, `musicVolume: 0.35`, and `sfxVolume: 0.45`; the UI correctly disabled sliders after mute was enabled. * Silent fallback: PASS - with `window.AudioContext` and `window.webkitAudioContext` removed, Start plus keyboard movement advanced gameplay, recorded no page errors, and recorded zero Ogg fetches. Desktop review caveat: * This verifies the desktop browser audio path, controls, and fallback behavior. Perceived loudness/fatigue judgments are grounded in the objective volume scan and route-trigger evidence because the agent cannot physically hear browser output in this environment. ### Repeated-Combat Fatigue Review Environment: * Browser route: `/extensions/ai-rogue/play?seed=repeated-combat-audio-review` * Scenario: `window.__AI_ROGUE_LOCAL_TEST_SCENARIO__ = "combat"` * Viewport: 1440x1000 desktop Chromium * Review type: repeated input through real runtime path with wrapped audio fetch capture. Results: * Runtime stability: PASS - repeated keyboard combat inputs advanced to turn 12 with no page errors. * Triggered combat-adjacent audio fetches: `01_strike_swing.ogg`, `02_hit_impact.ogg`, `19_enemy_melee_hit.ogg`, `11_ranged_telegraph.ogg`, `21_shield_break.ogg`, `40_hit_impact_variant_a.ogg`, `41_enemy_defeated_variant_a.ogg`, and `43_shard_pickup_variant_a.ogg`. * Deterministic variants: PASS - source hash check over 12 sample event IDs split each two-variant high-frequency cue 6 base / 6 variant while keeping event-equivalent seeds deterministic. * Hit fatigue: PASS - both base and variant hit cues were exercised; objective means are close (-14.5 dB and -15.6 dB). * Defeat fatigue: PASS - enemy defeated base/variant means are close enough for repeated kills (-18.8 dB and -20.3 dB). * Player hurt fatigue: PASS with caveat - variants exist, but variant A is 2.2 dB hotter by mean volume (-18.8 dB vs -21.0 dB); keep for browser listening in final closeout. * Shard pickup fatigue: PASS with caveat - variants are both quiet (-23.9 dB and -24.7 dB), which should reduce fatigue but can be masked. * UI click fatigue: PASS - UI click variants are quiet (-22.8 dB and -23.9 dB) and only runtime controls triggered them in desktop review. * Wall bump fatigue: FOLLOW-UP - variant A is the loudest mean SFX in the pack (-12.6 dB vs -15.5 dB base) and can become tiring if a player bumps walls repeatedly. * Hazard/status fatigue: FOLLOW-UP - `hazard_tick`, `status_applied`, and `status_cleansed` each have one file; repeated hazard/status play should get a second tiny variant only if Session 08 or human listening confirms fatigue. ### Objective And Protocol Runtime Review Review type: * Deterministic local simulation scenarios run through exported AI Rogue simulation APIs with the same world fixtures used by existing tests. Results: * Protocol pickup: PASS - collecting patch-kit and trace-map pickups emitted `protocol_pickup`. * Patch Kit: PASS - using patch-kit emitted `protocol_patch_kit` and `status_cleansed`. * Trace Map: PASS - using trace-map emitted `protocol_trace_map`. * Signal Jammer: PASS - using signal-jammer emitted `protocol_signal_jammer`. * Trace Lance: PASS - using trace-lance emitted `protocol_trace_lance`; the enemy response emitted `enemy_melee`. * Phase Step: PASS - using phase-step emitted `protocol_phase_step`. * Terminal open: PASS - bumping a terminal emitted `terminal_open` without spending a turn. * Terminal accept: PASS - resolving Fortify emitted `terminal_accept`. * Key fragment: PASS - collecting a key emitted `key_fragment`. * Vault unlock: PASS - unlocking with a key emitted `vault_unlock`. * Cache chest: PASS - claiming a cache emitted `cache_open` and `equipment_equip`. * Objective unlock: PASS - purging the required crash dump emitted `objective_unlock`. * Compile choice: PASS - crossing the first compile-level kill threshold emitted `objective_unlock`; selecting Throughput Boost emitted `equipment_equip`. * Final defense: PASS - surviving the final payload defense emitted `compile_payload`, `final_defense_survived`, and `victory_sting`. Routing note: * `compile_payload` is not the ordinary compile-level upgrade cue; it is the final defense/payload cue. Ordinary compile-level readiness currently uses `objective_unlock`, and the chosen upgrade uses `equipment_equip`. ### Mobile Browser Review Environment: * Browser route: `/extensions/ai-rogue/play?seed=mobile-audio-review` * Viewport/device: iPhone 14 emulation, 390x844, touch enabled * Review type: mobile/touch playback-path review with wrapped audio fetch capture and horizontal-overflow checks. Results: * Compact controls: PASS - `[data-ai-rogue-compact-controls]` was visible; Move right was disabled before Start and enabled after Start. * Unlock/title queueing: PASS - no Ogg fetches occurred before Start. * Start audio path: PASS - after Start, lazy audio fetches included `01_title_menu_loop.ogg`, `14_run_start.ogg`, and `02_sector_1_cold_cache_drift.ogg`. * Touch movement/SFX path: PASS - tapping Move right advanced to turn 1 and collected a Health Cache, fetching `06_health_pickup.ogg`. * Compact action controls: PASS - Inspect and Next target touch actions registered in runtime events without page errors. * Music/SFX preference path: PASS - Settings persisted `audioMuted: true`, `musicVolume: 0.4`, and `sfxVolume: 0.5`. * No horizontal overflow: PASS - Play and Settings both reported `clientWidth: 390`, `scrollWidth: 390`, and `bodyScrollWidth: 390` before and after interactions. * Page stability: PASS - no page errors were recorded. Mobile review caveat: * As with desktop, this proves the browser playback path and route behavior but not acoustic perception. Perceived balance findings use objective volume scan plus triggered cue evidence. ### Prioritized Follow-Ups | Priority | Follow-Up | Affected Cue IDs / Tracks | Source Touchpoints | Owner Session | | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | P1 | Reduce or replace loud wall-bump variant if human listening confirms fatigue. Objective scan shows variant A is the loudest mean SFX. | `wall_bump` / `45_wall_bump_variant_a.ogg` | `runtime/audio.ts`, `src/assets/ai-rogue/audio/sfx/provenance.json` | Session 03 or Session 08 | | P1 | Review quiet milestone/reward cues for audibility under sector music; lift gain or regenerate if they disappear in acoustic review. | `terminal_open`, `cache_open`, `compile_payload`, `shield_break`, `status_applied`, `status_cleansed` | `runtime/audio.ts`, simulation explicit `audioCues`, SFX assets | Session 03 or Session 08 | | P1 | Preserve explicit routing for rare objective/protocol cues. No routing defect found, but docs must clarify `compile_payload` belongs to final defense while ordinary compile choices use `objective_unlock` and `equipment_equip`. | `compile_payload`, `objective_unlock`, `equipment_equip`, `final_defense_survived` | `simulation.ts`, `compile.ts`, `docs/extensions/ai-rogue/game-feel.md` | Session 01 docs, then Session 08 | | P1 | Add typed enemy-family audio metadata before generating family/boss cues. Current review confirms shared `enemy_melee` and `enemy_defeated` are functional but not tactically identifying families. | `enemy_melee`, `enemy_defeated`, future sentry/boss cues | `types-simulation.ts`, `combat.ts`, `enemy-effects.ts`, `audio.ts` | Session 02 and Session 03 | | P2 | Add a second hazard/status variant only if human listening confirms repetition fatigue. Automation found single-file hazard/status cues and quiet status levels. | `hazard_tick`, `status_applied`, `status_cleansed` | `audio.ts`, `enemy-effects.ts`, `combat.ts`, SFX provenance | Session 03 or Session 08 | | P2 | Keep UI click routing restrained. Current review found UI click only on runtime controls and Settings persisted mute/volume. Do not broaden UI sound to every button. | `ui_click` variants | `renderer.ts`, Settings preferences | All later sessions | | P2 | Human-listen title-loop suitability before replacing it. Browser path passes, duration is 69.306500s, objective level is consistent with sector music, but the agent cannot judge acoustic loop fatigue. | `title` / `01_title_menu_loop.ogg` | `renderer.ts`, `audio.ts`, music provenance | Session 08, or Session 05 if replacing music | | P2 | Defeat music and defeat sting are objectively hotter than victory equivalents; confirm they feel dramatic rather than harsh in acoustic closeout. | `defeat`, `defeat_sting`, `victory`, `victory_sting` | `audio.ts`, music/SFX assets | Session 08 | | P2 | Theme audio should remain depth-based until Session 04 defines routing. Current sector music passes depth routing; theme-aware ambience/music remains deferred. | `sector_1`, `sector_2`, `sector_3`, future theme cues | `themes.ts`, `audio.ts`, `renderer-audio-adapter.ts` | Session 04 and Session 05 | | P3 | Adaptive stingers are a conditional go, not an automatic asset batch. Current review found core routing stable and no ducking/second bus. Add stingers only after Session 06 defines a minimal engine contract. | Future combat/boss/objective/final stingers | `audio.ts`, `renderer-audio-adapter.ts`, future engine docs | Session 06 and Session 07 | Current go/no-go: * Replacements: no immediate replacement required by automation; wall bump variant A is the strongest replacement candidate. * Volume changes: likely candidates are reducing wall bump variant A and lifting terminal open/cache open/compile payload if acoustic listening confirms masking. * Routing fixes: no blocking runtime routing defect found; the only doc-level correction is that `compile_payload` is final-defense payload audio, not the ordinary compile-level upgrade-ready cue. * Variants: high-frequency hit/defeat/player hurt/shard/ui/wall variants are wired; hazard/status second variants are conditional. * Title-loop suitability: browser path passes; acoustic fatigue requires a human-listen closeout. * Adaptive stingers: conditional go after Session 06 engine contract; do not generate Session 07 assets unless Session 06 keeps the contract simple and browser review accepts the added density. ### Command Evidence T017 PASS: * `bun run test -- src/extensions/ai-rogue/runtime/__tests__/audio.test.ts` passed 1 test file and 9 tests in 700 ms. T018 PASS: * `bunx playwright test tests/e2e/ai-rogue-runtime.spec.ts` passed 9 desktop Playwright tests in 35.3 seconds. T019 PASS: * `bunx playwright test tests/e2e/ai-rogue-mobile.spec.ts` passed 5 mobile Playwright tests in 23.0 seconds. T020 PASS: * `git status --short src/assets/ai-rogue/audio` returned no output. * `bash scripts/check-asset-sizes.sh` passed with "OK: All assets within configured size limits (total: 14M)". T021 PASS: * ASCII scan across tracked diffs and untracked files returned no output. * CRLF scan across tracked diffs and untracked files returned no output. * `.spec_system/scripts/analyze-project.sh --json` confirmed `current_phase: 36`, `current_session: phase36-session01-current-audio-balance-audit`, and session files `implementation-notes.md`, `spec.md`, and `tasks.md`. ### Documentation Sync Notes T015 complete: * `.spec_system/PRD/phase_36/PRD_phase_36.md` now records Session 01 implementation review results, cue follow-ups, downstream owner sessions, and the acoustic-listening caveat. * `.spec_system/PRD/phase_36/session_01_current_audio_balance_audit.md` now records implemented-pending-review status, checked prerequisites, pass results, caveat, and prioritized follow-ups.
