## 3.74.0

### Minor Changes

- acd99f1: Import Duesenberg (44 hardware/software entries).
- 4d33256: Import D.W. Fearn (8 entries: 7 hardware and 1 accessory).
- 37924ef: Import Ear Trumpet Labs (14 hardware and 4 accessory entries).
- 38c35af: Import elysia (10 hardware entries and 2 content entries).
- 85365b4: Import ENGL (45 hardware/software entries).
- 81ba025: Import Erica Synths (272 hardware/software entries).
- 5cf188b: Import EVE Audio (16 hardware and 3 accessory entries).
- bd26670: Import Expert Sleepers (50 hardware/software entries).
- 334eb65: Import Faderfox (28 hardware/software entries).
- a9bed0a: Import Ferrofish (10 hardware/software entries).
- cb8d6e5: Refresh Spitfire Audio: 173 new, 0 discontinued, 14 updated.

  Adds the rest of the Spitfire Audio library roster, covering the Abbey Road
  One and Abbey Road Orchestra ranges, the Albion and Originals series, the
  artist signature libraries and the studio and symphonic collections. The 16
  entries already in the catalog gain refreshed categories, prices and prose
  where the current product pages agreed with them.

## 3.73.1

### Patch Changes

- 33db9bf: Death By Audio is one manufacturer again.

  Its 30 products sat under a second manufacturer file, `deathbyaudio`, beside the `death-by-audio` one the tier list imports against, so an import could not see them and duplicated them (catalog#958, closed). The entries move to `death-by-audio` with their ids unchanged, the manufacturer keeps the `death-by-audio` id, and the `deathbyaudio` id is retired.

- 4ac1fc7: Refresh sonible: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 18 updated.

  Refreshed the 18 sonible plug-ins the site still publishes, adding
  current feature copy, specification rows, tutorial links and category
  tags. Four entries the refresh did not see (d:16, d:24, pure:comp and
  pure:verb) still answer on their own pages, so they were left live as
  retirement candidates rather than retired.

## 3.73.0

### Minor Changes

- b0cba2b: Import A-Designs (2 entries).

  Adds the two EM-series 500-slot preamps the catalog was missing, the
  EM-Red and the EM-Blue, completing the five-module family alongside the
  EM-Gold, EM-Silver and P-1 modules already listed. Both are marked
  discontinued: A-Designs now offer only the P-1 and the EM-PEQ from the
  500-series line.

- 45421ae: Import Aguilar (34 entries).

  Adds the DB 700 Hybrid Amp and Aguilar's bass pickup range, which the
  catalog carried none of: the AG and DCB passive pickup sets for Jazz,
  Precision, PJ, Music Man and soapbar formats, plus the OBP onboard
  preamps. Cables, replacement drivers and refurbished listings are
  deliberately left out.

- e737d7c: Refresh Softube: 17 new, 0 discontinued, 119 updated.

  Adds Console 1 Compact, Flow Studio and the Single Unit Stand alongside
  fourteen plug-ins the catalog was missing, including Limit Pro, Limit Go,
  Core Dimensions, Stereo Delay and both Reference equalizers. Refreshes
  prices, prose and specs across the existing range, and fills in the I/O
  for Console 1 Channel and Fader Mk III, which previously carried none.

### Patch Changes

- d1660d8: Accept Indonesian rupiah (IDR) prices.

  The racks extraction schema can already emit an IDR price, and the
  catalog rejected it as an unknown currency. `schema/currencies.yaml`
  lists IDR and the JSON schemas are regenerated.

- 3910d61: Fix: the Aguilar DB 700's mains inlet is an IEC C14.

  The import wrote the bare `iec`, which the connection vocabulary does
  not hold, so the strict E130 on `main` refused every validation run
  after it merged.

## 3.72.0

### Minor Changes

- d60e1ee: Import Zoom (115 hardware entries and 1 accessory).

  Zoom's recording hardware: the H-series Handy Recorders from the H1 to
  the H6studio and the Essential line, F-series field recorders including
  the F8n Pro and F3, MicTrak and PodTrak recorders, Q-series handy video
  recorders, LiveTrak mixers, R-series MultiTrak recorders, the MRS, HD
  and PS recording studios, UAC, TAC, U-series and AMS audio interfaces,
  the ZDM-1, ZUM-2, ZPC-1, ZSG-1 and LMF-2 microphones, iQ and Am plug-in
  mics, ARQ and SampleTrak digital instruments, and the V3 and V6 vocal
  processors. 60 of these are discontinued and tagged as such.

### Patch Changes

- 2fcb882: Reject `javascript:`, `data:` and other non-http(s) schemes in every `url` field (E128) and raw HTML in prose (E305); the build now escapes markup it is handed. The one `ftp://` link (dbx 160A) is removed.

## 3.71.0

### Minor Changes

- e3bd2ad: Import Schecter (21 hardware entries).

  The 2026 model year and the 50th Anniversary Collection guitars,
  including the C-1, Avenger and Tempest 50th Anniversary pairs,
  the Hydro-dip and Omen Extreme-II models, the Nick Johnston and
  Synyster signature guitars, and the USA Sunset Custom-II 24.
  Left-handed models are separate entries. Schecter's wider
  catalogue (about 480 further models) is deferred to follow-up
  imports.

- 1a52242: Import Zildjian (60 hardware entries).

  Size-specific cymbals and gongs across the A Zildjian, K, K Custom,
  K Constantinople, Kerope, I, S, Z Custom, Planet Z, L80 Low Volume
  and FX families, plus the 400th Anniversary Vault pieces. Drumsticks,
  cymbal packs, apparel and the electronic E-FAMILY line are deferred
  to follow-up imports.

### Patch Changes

- e80d8e6: Add the Waves V17 version (17.1.42) to the 54 Waves entries that listed only
  16.7.33 or no version, so an installed 16.7.33 no longer reads as current.
  Each product was checked against its waves.com page (live, lists V17) and the
  2026-06-23 "across-the-board update to V17" release note before the row was
  written through `pnpm identifiers:apply`. The reviewed list is
  `docs/reviews/2026-10-unmatched-makers.tsv`.

## 3.70.0

### Minor Changes

- 86f3439: Import Behringer desktop and semi-modular synthesizers (34 hardware entries).

  Covers the Behringer desktop synth line: the MODEL D, NEUTRON, CRAVE,
  PRO-1, PRO-800, 2600 and its BLUE MARVIN and GRAY MEANIE special
  editions, the DEEPMIND 12D and 12XD, UB-Xa D, the TD-3 and TD-3-MO
  bass line synths in three finishes each, plus the CAT, JT-2, K-2 MK II,
  KOBOL EXPANDER, MODEL 15, PROTON, SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE, TORO,
  WASP DELUXE, 2-XM, GRIND, SPICE, CZ-1 MINI, EDGE, BDS-3,
  SYNCUSSION SY-1 and the BQ-10 sequencer.

  This is the first of several Behringer batches. The rest of the
  manufacturer's catalogue is recorded in the import's deferred manifest,
  grouped by product family, for follow-up runs.

- 347c298: Import Cycling '74 (15 software and content entries).

  Covers the current line (Max, Max for Live, RNBO and the Mira iPad
  controller), the four Cycles audio source libraries by Ron MacLeod, and
  seven products retired from sale (M, Pluggo, Hipno, Mode, Octirama,
  Upmix and Radial) found on the maker's discontinued downloads page and
  tagged with the discontinued category.

- 5c514bc: Import KRK Systems (45 hardware and accessory entries).

  Covers the ROKIT Generation Five and Generation 4 monitors, the V Series
  Five and V Series 4 monitors, the Classic and Kreate ranges, the GoAUX
  portable pairs, the S.4 and 12sHO subwoofers, the KNS-6402 and KNS-8402
  headphones, and the grilles, cushions, cables and mount brackets that go
  with them. Fourteen retired models are tagged discontinued.

- 8d11110: Refresh sonible: 6 new, 0 discontinued, 18 updated.

  Adds the d:16 and d:24 installation amplifiers, the ml:1 USB DI box and the
  ml:mio MADI converter, alongside the pure:comp and pure:verb plug-ins.
  Refreshes descriptions, specs, prices and release history across the
  existing 18 entries.

- 6b2be7b: Import TC-Helicon (37 hardware, software and accessory entries).

  Covers the vocal processing line (VoiceTone single-button
  stompboxes, VoiceLive, Perform-V, Play Acoustic, Harmony Singer 2,
  Mic Mechanic 2, Critical Mass, Duplicator, Talkbox Synth), the
  GoXLR broadcast mixers and their white colourways, the MP-60 and
  MP-85 handheld vocal microphones, the Go Guitar and Go Vocal
  mobile interfaces, the Harmony V60 acoustic amplifier, and the
  VoiceSupport 2, VoiceJam and Voice Jam Studio applications.

  Also corrects the TC-Helicon manufacturer URL, which pointed at a
  domain that no longer resolves.

- 8a6de1f: Refresh Universal Audio: 10 new, 1 discontinued, 0 updated.

  Adds the Volt Gen 2 and Volt Max audio interfaces, the UAD Enigmatic '82
  Overdrive Special and Topline Vocal Tune plug-ins, and the UA Connect and
  UAD Console applications. Retires the Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble plug-in,
  whose page is gone. Ten renamed products were matched to the entries they
  already have rather than duplicated, and their new names and urls are
  left for review.

- 30e5d62: Fix `details` and `specs` that rendered as a wall of text (AUREO-1192).

  Adds `pnpm prose-layout-audit`, which reads both fields the way the
  build's `marked` pass renders them and reports one-block-per-line scrapes
  that markdown joins into one paragraph, paragraphs over 1,500 characters,
  bullet glyphs standing in for a list, lists flattened into prose,
  four-space-indented lists that render as code, leftover markup, list-less
  `specs`, and values not written as a `|-` block. `pnpm prose-layout:apply`
  applies the lossless fixes, and this release carries them: 720 values in
  668 entries. The 531 entries that need a person are listed in
  `docs/reviews/2026-10-prose-layout.tsv`, and `--findings` files the walls
  as a new `wall-of-text` kind.

### Patch Changes

- f2cb410: Model the GRIND, CRAVE and EDGE patch bays from Behringer's quick start guides.

  Adds 73 patch points (33 on GRIND, 31 on CRAVE, 9 on EDGE), each a 3.5 mm
  top-panel jack named from the panel legend. Corrects the main output on all
  three to the 3.5 mm VCA jack (none has a 1/4-inch output), moves their MIDI
  jacks to the top panel, and flips EDGE's Pitch jack to an output.

- a99f58e: Upgrade 292 `http://` URLs to `https://` where the site serves the same page
  over https, and add `pnpm https-upgrade` to probe and apply the rest on a later
  pass (AUREO-1191).
- 2b03232: Refresh Spitfire Audio: 14 entries updated with current prices, formats, platforms and product copy.

  Adds GBP pricing, plugin formats, platforms, search terms and video links
  across the Abbey Road One, Abbey Road Two, Albion, AIR Studios, Aperture and
  BBC Symphony Orchestra entries, and replaces thin or lowercased copy with the
  current product text, so names like BBC Studios and Maida Vale Studios now
  read correctly.

  Differences a refresh must not decide on its own are left for review rather
  than overwritten: 13 urls, 11 primary categories, 7 category lists and one
  product name. Every entry also carries a stale USD price that no current page
  supports, reported separately.

- cef0971: Rename MuseScore to MuseScore Studio, the desktop app's name since 4.3,
  keeping "MuseScore" as a search term, and add its macOS bundle id
  (`org.musescore.MuseScore`, unchanged through 4.7) so Studio matches it
  on macOS by identifier whatever name its scanner reports.

## 3.69.0

### Minor Changes

- 41d4d76: Match every plugin a collection installs, and add the Pultec, StudioVerse, ROLI and sonible entries Studio kept reporting

  A UAD collection installs one plugin per member, each with its own
  bundle id, but an entry could hold one identifier per format, so Studio
  listed the 1176 Rev A, the LA-2 or InTrigger Live as unknown plugins on
  every scan. `componentIdentifiers` takes the same keys and precedence as
  `identifiers` with a list per key, and the build writes the primary and
  every component into the new `software_format_identifiers` table (schema
  migration 24, additive, no `schema_version` bump). `software_formats` is
  unchanged for Studio builds that predate the table.

  `pnpm validate` now fails an identifier two entries claim, or one
  repeated within an entry (E402), because the matcher resolves an
  identifier to one entry. None existed on main.

  Data:

  - Component ids for the 1176, Fairchild, LA-2A, Manley Massive Passive,
    Topline and Hitsville entries, and InTrigger Live. The 1176 collection
    also gains the formats it lacked, without which it matched nothing.
  - The Nx Germano and StudioVerse Audio Effects identifiers. StudioRack is
    renamed StudioVerse Audio Effects, its name since V15.
  - New entries: Pultec Passive EQ Collection, StudioVerse Instruments,
    ROLI Studio Player, and the discontinued smart:reverb (v1) and
    smart:comp 2, each superseded by the entry the catalog already carried.
  - Add moves from Mesa/Boogie to its real developer, Mesa+, as a
    discontinued Windows VST.

### Patch Changes

- af4b938: Restore Kontakt compatibility on Impact Soundworks Plectra Series 1: 8-string Acoustic Bouzouki

  Its `compatibleWith` named `kontakt`, which matches no entry, so the
  Kontakt host was dropped. It now names `native-instruments-kontakt`,
  the slug the other 165 Kontakt libraries use.

  `pnpm validate` now fails an unknown `compatibleWith` slug (E206)
  instead of warning (the retired W123), which is how this one got
  through. No other unknown slug existed on main.

## 3.68.0

### Minor Changes

- effd1a3: Refresh Blue Microphones: 1 new, 0 discontinued, 7 updated.

  Adds the Yeti 2 multi-pattern USB microphone. Refreshes the Yeti, Yeti
  GX, Yeti Nano, Yeti Orb and Yeti Studio microphones plus the Compass
  boom arm and Radius III shockmount with current descriptions, specs,
  prices and support links from the Logitech G product pages.

- a840bfd: Refresh Bowers & Wilkins: 6 new, 0 existing products discontinued, 108 updated.

  Adds the 804 D5 and 805 D5 loudspeakers, the CDA-4D distribution
  amplifier, the CT8.4 LCRS in-wall speaker, the FS-HTM D5 stand and the
  Formation Flex wall bracket. Refreshes the whole existing range,
  including the 600, 700 and 800 Series, the CCM and CWM in-wall lines,
  the ASW, DB and ISW subwoofers, and the Px and Pi headphones, with
  current descriptions, specs, prices and support links.

  The Formation Flex wall bracket is new to the catalog but already
  archived by the maker, so it arrives tagged discontinued. Six live
  products that were wrongly shown as discontinued (702 S3, 705 S3,
  801 D4, 805 D4, HTM71 S3 and Pi8) are current again: their Signature
  and McLaren editions no longer claim to supersede them.

- 0866604: Refresh Marshall: 36 new, 0 discontinued, 94 updated.

  Adds Marshall's consumer speaker and headphone range (Acton, Emberton,
  Stanmore, Woburn, Kilburn, Stockwell, Willen, Middleton, Bromley, Heston,
  Major, Minor, Monitor, Motif, Milton, Mode) plus three PEDL footswitches
  and the 1959BJA signature head. Refreshes every existing amp, cabinet and
  pedal entry with current prose, specs, prices, videos and capabilities.

- 34a12d0: Refresh Togu Audio Line: 3 new, 5 discontinued, 26 updated.

  Adds TAL-Flanger, TAL-Tube and TAL-USE, three legacy plugins that were
  only ever reachable through TAL's bundled effects page. Marks
  TAL-BassLine, TAL-Dub, TAL-Dub-2, TAL-Dub-3 and TAL-Elek7ro as
  discontinued, matching the maker's own deprecated list. Fills in
  details, specs and release history across the rest of the range.

- 505ed99: Refresh Tritik: 1 new, 1 discontinued, 9 updated.

  Adds Krush2, the paid successor that now sells where the original Krush
  used to, links it to Krush through `supersedes`, and marks the original
  Krush discontinued now that Tritik no longer maintains it. Adds release
  history and the maker's EUR prices across the range, gives each entry a
  specific primary category, and drops VST2 from Tymee and Visu, whose
  installers ship only VST3, AU and AAX.

- 9a45ced: Refresh UJAM Instruments: 6 new, 0 discontinued, 73 updated.

  Adds Virtual Drummer NEON, Symphonic Elements CHOOIR, RETROCRAFT,
  Beautyflute Pro, Vox Humana and the MIDI Drum and Beat Pack. Refreshes
  the descriptions, feature details and system requirements across the
  Beatmaker, Virtual Bassist, Virtual Drummer, Virtual Guitarist, Virtual
  Pianist, Usynth, UFX, Finisher, Groovemate and Symphonic Elements
  ranges, and corrects five stale Beatmaker prices to the current 49 USD.

### Patch Changes

- 3c841f8: Refresh Bome Software: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 13 updated.

  Brings all thirteen Bome entries up to date with the current bome.com
  pages, including release history for MIDI Translator Pro, the BomeBox
  and Send SX, refreshed specs and prices, and current support links.

- 1e07567: Refresh Relab Development: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 12 updated.

  Refreshed details, specs, versions and pricing for the full Relab
  plugin range, including LX480, Sonsig, Q82, REV6000 and the Maselec
  models. Category, format and primary-category conflicts were settled
  against the maker's pages, and a sale price was dropped for LX480.

- 6d0977e: Retype Marshall cabinet inputs and footswitch jacks, add the Thrash v2 firmware port

  Seven passive Marshall cabinets (1936, 1936V, 1960AV, 1960B, 2551AV,
  2551BV, Studio Vintage 2x12) recorded their 1/4-inch inputs as `line`.
  They carry an amplifier's speaker output, so they are now
  `speaker-level`. `speaker-level-audit` did not flag them because their
  port names ("Input 1 (Mono / Stereo Left)") never say "speaker".

  Nineteen Marshall amps typed their dedicated footswitch jack `line`. It
  is now `expression`, per the footswitch and expression jack rule. The
  two combined "Aux In / Footswitch" minijacks on the DSL1 Combo and
  DSL20 Head are left alone: one jack shares an audio input and needs the
  manual.

  The Mackie Thrash12v2 and Thrash15v2 gain the rear USB-C port the owner's
  manual documents for firmware updates.

  Two Elektron sound packs (Haunted Hearts, Gutnishy Islands) carried the
  date they were ingested as `releaseDate`, years after release. Both
  dates are removed until a primary source gives the real one.

## 3.67.0

### Minor Changes

- 173f2e6: Refresh Hosa: 14 new, 0 discontinued, 1 updated.

  Adds per-SKU entries for Hosa microphone cables, interconnects, patch
  cables, snakes, Y cables and stereo breakouts, and refreshes the YPP-111
  Y-Cable with its current page copy, price and connector detail.

### Patch Changes

- f0222dd: Refresh Cytomic: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 3 updated.

  The Glue, The Scream and The Drop now carry the current descriptions,
  feature details and technical specs from Cytomic's product pages, along
  with demo videos and release history. The Scream gains its full version
  list back to 1.0.7.

- 0d6e252: Retire the Dear Reality plugin line and refresh its copy: 0 new, 9 discontinued, 5 updated.

  Sennheiser has wound Dear Reality down as an independent company and
  states on its brand page that the plugins are no longer developed or
  maintained, so every entry now carries the discontinued category (two
  already did). dearVR PRO 2, dearVR MICRO, dearVR MUSIC, EXOVERB and
  EXOVERB MICRO also pick up refreshed descriptions and feature lists from
  that page.

- d4a2c9b: Name the Marantz FM antenna connector and point a retired entry at its own page

  Five Marantz receivers and processors recorded their FM antenna jack as
  `proprietary`, which said the connector had no standard name. It has
  one: the threaded 75 ohm coaxial F connector, read off the NR1711's own
  rear-panel photograph and confirmed by the F-plug on the supplied indoor
  antenna in each owner's manual. `f-type` joins the connection
  vocabulary and the five entries use it, so a reader can tell this jack
  from the AM spring terminal beside it.

  The M-CR612's `url` pointed at the live-catalogue path, which answers
  200 only by redirecting to the archive path. Marantz moves a product's
  path rather than its id when it retires one, so the entry now names the
  page that serves it directly. It was the only retired Marantz entry
  still carrying the pre-archive path.

- 78798c3: Correct the Power Grid Disruptor price and two doubled words

  Power Grid Disruptor carried a stale 99.99 USD. Korneff Audio gives the
  plugin away: its JSON-LD AggregateOffer reads a zero low and high price
  and InStock, and the struck-through 347.99 is a gag anchor on an April
  Fools release the maker kept up. The entry now carries a verified zero
  with source and asOf, which is what separates a giveaway from a price an
  import could not read, so Studio renders "Free" and suppresses the
  purchase link instead of quoting a price nobody can pay
  (catalog-submissions #64).

  Four more Korneff prices were re-read at source and confirmed correct as
  they stand, one issue each (catalog-submissions #60, #61, #62 and #63),
  so those close with no edit. Shure Level-Loc is the one worth noting: the
  store shows 79.99 today, but that is display_price, a live sale, against
  a display_regular_price of 149.99. A check reading the JSON-LD alone
  publishes only the sale figure, so it would have "confirmed" the wrong
  number and retired a correct price.

  Two doubled words are fixed, "at at 96 khz" and "set at at 15ips". Both
  sit inside wrapped block scalars and neither uses a function word the
  earlier sweeps grepped for, which is why 3.66.0 left them: a line-based
  scan over the raw file cannot see a pair that straddles a wrap, and this
  pass read the parsed YAML values instead. The remaining hits on main are
  the fifteen that sweep already judged correct as written, which stand
  (catalog-submissions #24).

## 3.66.0

### Minor Changes

- d87fc5f: Refresh Klevgrand: 62 new, 0 discontinued, 1 updated.

  Adds the full current Klevgrand range, 40 plugins and instruments plus 22
  OneShot and Tomofon expansion packs, and brings the existing Baervaag entry up
  to date with its current page.

- 8941844: Refresh Korneff Audio: 1 new, 0 discontinued, 14 updated.

  Adds the Sound Techniques Alpha Range Channel and brings the existing fourteen
  plugins up to their current pages, including four prices that had drifted.

- 3048e75: Refresh Kush Audio: 22 new, 0 discontinued, 1 updated.

  Adds the current Kush range, 15 plugins and 7 analog units including the 500
  series modules, and brings the existing AR-1 entry up to its current page.

- b4961a5: Refresh Mackie: 4 new, 1 discontinued, 141 updated.

  Adds the CR3.5 and CR3.5BT studio monitors and the Thrash12v2 and
  Thrash15v2 powered loudspeakers. Retires the MC-50BT headphones, whose
  page now redirects to the MC-60BT. The existing 141 entries gain
  connector detail, prices, product links and videos read from Mackie's
  own spec sheets and owner's manuals.

- 847c495: Refresh Marantz: 9 new, 1 discontinued, 31 updated.

  Adds the PM-10 and PM6007 integrated amplifiers, the MM7055 power
  amplifier, the CD 70 player, the AV8805A processor, the NR1711, SR6015
  and SR7015 receivers and the Grand Horizon wall mount. Retires the
  M-CR612, whose page now redirects to the archive. The existing 31
  entries gain connector detail, prices and documentation links read from
  Marantz's own manuals and rear-panel photography.

- 5be2381: Refresh Wave Arts: 23 new, 0 discontinued, 14 updated.

  Adds the twenty Convology impulse response libraries, covering vintage
  plates, springs, digital reverbs, real spaces and guitar amps, plus the
  MasterRestoration 6 plugin and the free IR measurement tools. Every
  existing Wave Arts plugin gains full details, feature specs and links.

- 704deae: Refresh zplane: 2 new, 0 discontinued, 7 updated.

  Adds TIMBRE, a real-time formant-shifting plugin, and PEEL STEMS 2, which
  zplane sells as a separate plugin from PEEL STEMS rather than an update to
  it. Brings current descriptions, formats and release history to the existing
  élastique, PEEL, reTune, TONIC and DECODA entries.

### Patch Changes

- d8b7fa2: Add the 16 DAWs and notation apps Studio's scanner recognises but the catalog did not carry

  Studio's DAW scanner ships a per-platform table of products it identifies by
  bundle id, `.desktop` entry or uninstall key. Diffing that table against the
  catalog found 16 products with no entry at all, so a user with any of them
  installed got a scan result the catalog could not resolve.

  Added: WaveLab, Mixbus, Waveform, Samplitude, Sibelius, Dorico, Finale,
  MuseScore, LMMS, Qtractor, Rosegarden, Hydrogen, Hindenburg PRO, VirtualDJ,
  djay Pro and n-Track Studio, with nine new manufacturers (Boris FX, LMMS,
  rncbc, Rosegarden, Hydrogen, Hindenburg Systems, Atomix Productions,
  Algoriddim, n-Track Software).

  Three entries carry a decision worth a reviewer's eye. Samplitude is filed
  under a new `boris-fx` manufacturer rather than MAGIX, because Boris FX
  acquired it with Sequoia and Music Studio in August 2025 and borisfx.com is
  the only live official page, the MAGIX product page having gone to a redirect.
  Finale takes the `discontinued` category, MakeMusic having sunset it in August 2024. Hindenburg PRO is stored as `name: PRO` under Hindenburg Systems,
  following the same stripping the catalog already applies to Bitwig Studio and
  Serato DJ Pro, with the composed form in `searchTerms`.

  Prices are omitted throughout. Every one of these sells either a multi-tier
  lineup or a subscription that could not be read off a maker's own store page,
  and a single figure would misrepresent the product.

- 603a7a7: Give the corpus audits a durable sink. `power-input-audit`,
  `speaker-level-audit`, `capability-gaps` and `dataset:audit` each take
  `--findings <dir>` and append their findings to `findings.jsonl` beside the
  report they already print, in the shape the submissions inbox reads. Each
  pass files less than it reports, because a report row costs a glance and an
  inbox issue costs an afternoon: only what the audit can settle without
  opening a maker's page.
- 0d69842: Remove 31 doubled words from entry prose

  Sweeps the backlog reported in catalog-submissions #24. Widening the grep from
  eight function words to seventeen finds 46 hits, of which only 31 are genuine
  repeats. The other 15 are correct as written (`plug-in in`, `in in-ear`,
  `that that`, `a a-a` for the Alfred Arnold bandoneon, `the THE ORCHESTRA`, and
  `the The Plex`), so every hit was reviewed in context rather than fixed by a
  blanket regex, which would have broken all fifteen. Eleven of the genuine ones
  are a single Echo Fix boilerplate paragraph repeated across sibling entries.
  Two were near-repeats rather than adjacent ones (`as well as as a standalone
application`), which the `duplicated-word` rule cannot see, so whether
  prose-lint should gain a near-repeat rule stays open on that issue.

- 2500ec4: Give the hp findings a path that resolves from the repo root

  `pnpm dataset:audit --findings <dir>` wrote its `file` as
  `hardware/x.yaml`, while the other three audits write
  `data/hardware/x.yaml`. Of the 431 rows the four audits file against
  `main`, 200 carried a path that names nothing from the repo root.

  The racks inbox prints the field as ``Entry: `...` `` on every issue it
  opens, and the nightly triage resolves it to read the entry, so a
  data-relative path there is a dead reference on just under half the
  corpus. `Finding.files` is relative to `DATA_DIR` because that is what
  the terminal report prints; the findings row is repo-relative because
  that is what reads it.

  The test fixture is the reason this shipped: it passed
  `files: ["data/hardware/make-noise-maths.yaml"]`, already repo-relative,
  where `checkModularMissingHp` emits `relPath(p.file)`. Both fixtures now
  carry the real shape, and a cross-audit case asserts all four kinds land
  on the same repo-relative path, so the next audit to join them cannot
  pick the other convention silently.

  `relPath` is `path.relative`, which separates with a backslash on
  Windows, and `path.posix.join` keeps it, so the same function produced a
  mixed `data/hardware\x.yaml` there. That is not only cosmetic: the slug
  takes everything after the last forward slash, so the mixed path keys as
  `missing-hp:hardware\x` and a Windows run would file all 200 findings a
  second time against entries a Linux run had already filed. Backslashes
  are now normalized unconditionally rather than on `path.sep`, because
  `path.sep` is `/` on the runner that files these and a guard written
  against it could never fail on CI.

- 8570791: Correct 154 software prices that wrongly read as free. Every Joey Sturgis
  Tones entry but one carried a zero amount while the store charged for all
  of them, and ujam, WA Production, Dear Reality and Tritik carried the same
  thing, clustered on vendors whose product page leads with a free trial.
  Prices are re-read from each maker's own page: 124 entries gain a real
  amount, 30 whose maker page is retired or serves its price client-side
  carry none rather than a wrong one, and the 10 that really are free keep
  their zero with source and asOf. Adds E127, a hard error on a negative or
  non-finite amount, and W133, an advisory on a zero carrying no provenance.
- 7c4d1d2: Correct HoRNet plugin formats: add AAX to Graffio, which gained it in
  1.1.0, and drop VST 2.4 from Cassette644's spec prose, which 1.0.3
  removed.
- 2d3b77e: Refresh ADPTR Audio: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 5 updated.

  Brings current descriptions, formats, prices and release history to Hype,
  Metric AB, Sculpt, Streamliner and Utopia.

- e999ff8: Refresh A.O.M.: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 15 updated.

  Updated descriptions, details, specs and version histories for the A.O.M.
  plugin range from the maker's current product pages, covering the Invisible
  Limiter and tranQuilizr generations, Kujaku, Wave Shredder and the rest of
  the line.

- 675fe61: Refresh Auburn Sounds: 0 new, 2 discontinued, 10 updated.

  Updated descriptions, details, specs and version histories across the Auburn
  Sounds plugin range from the maker's current product pages, and retired GFM
  Koch and GFM Distort, which the maker now lists as legacy products.

- 6b2162f: Refresh Audiaire: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 3 updated.

  Updated descriptions, details and specs for Zone, Nuxx and Zenith from the
  maker's current product pages, and recorded the plugin formats each page
  states.

- 75cc042: Refresh DW Drums: 0 new, 68 discontinued, 159 updated.

  Refreshed every DW Drums entry against the current dwdrums.com product
  pages, updating prices, descriptions, details, specs and images. Retired
  68 entries whose product pages now return 404, covering older Collector's
  and Performance shells, Zikit snares and earlier pedal revisions.

- 39162aa: Refresh Elektron: 0 new, 5 discontinued, 22 updated.

  Refreshed every current Elektron entry against elektron.se, adding
  capabilities to the instruments and refreshing prices, details and specs.
  Retired the Analog Drive, Analog Keys, Digitone Keys and two Machinedrum
  models, whose product pages are gone.

- 920424a: Refresh ESP Guitars: 0 new, 1 discontinued, 54 updated.

  Refreshed every ESP entry against the current espguitars.com pages, adding
  prices to the LTD and E-II lines and refreshing specs and details
  throughout. Retired the LTD Deluxe SN-1000FR, whose page now returns 404.

- 28746ac: Refresh Focal: 0 new, 1 discontinued, 20 updated.

  Refreshed every Focal entry against the current focal.com product pages,
  replacing shared boilerplate descriptions with each product's own copy and
  adding details, specs and capabilities throughout. Marked the Shape 40 as
  discontinued, which its page now states outright.

- 922b957: Refresh Fostex: 0 new, 3 discontinued, 56 updated.

  Refreshed every Fostex entry against the current fostex.jp pages, adding
  details, specs, images and manual links throughout. Gave 14 headphone
  entries the cable input ports they were missing, and retired the GS17H,
  HP-A3mk2 and PC100USB-HR2, which the maker now marks discontinued.

- 9b3d465: Refresh HoRNet Plugins: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 87 updated.

  Refreshed every HoRNet entry against the current hornetplugins.com pages,
  updating details, specs, videos and categories throughout, with corrected
  formats on 22 entries, descriptions on 17 and prices on 3. Linked four
  generation pairs, including Spaces MK2 to the Spaces it replaces.

- ad7e152: Refresh Impact Soundworks: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 1 updated.

  Refreshed the Plectra Series 1 bouzouki entry against its current
  impactsoundworks.com page, adding the price, host compatibility, videos and
  images.

- bc44ccf: Refresh TSE Audio: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 5 updated.

  Adds release history to all five plugins, a user manual link for B.O.D.
  and the walkthrough video for X50 v2. Every entry already matched the
  maker's current pages, so no existing prose changed.

- 504bd64: Refresh VCV: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 8 updated.

  Every VCV entry gains full product details and feature specs from the
  current product pages, plus release history. Categories are now more
  specific, so Drums is a drum machine, Spectra a spectral processor,
  Sound Stage a reverb and Pluck a physical modeling instrument.

- 1d8104e: Refresh W. A. Production: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 73 updated.

  Every W. A. Production entry gains full product details and feature specs
  from the current product pages, plus demo videos and release history. Many
  categories are now more specific, so the InstaChord plugins are chord
  generators, Puncher and Imprint are transient shapers and Dynawide is a
  stereo widener.

- 392c90b: Refresh Waves Factory: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 36 updated.

  Adds real prices, current descriptions and release history to the plugin
  and Kontakt library range, and drops the €0 records that stood in for the
  free demo download on every entry that now carries its selling price.

- 2b6d0ff: Add `pnpm power-input-audit`, which reports hardware entries whose prose
  documents a power supply but whose `io` carries no power port. Reports
  only; the connector has to come from the maker's documentation.
- 613b8c2: Correct the signal type on 193 passive-speaker ports across 129 entries

  Every Marshall, PRS and EVH cabinet input, and most amplifier speaker outputs,
  were typed `line` when they carry an amplified signal. CLAUDE.md has required
  `speaker-level` for these since the field existed, but nothing checked it, so
  Studio drew them with the colour and shape it gives a low-voltage preamp jack.
  Added `pnpm speaker-level-audit` to report them and `pnpm speaker-level:apply`
  to write a reviewed list. Speaker-emulated outputs and a monitor controller's
  balanced line feed to powered monitors both keep `line`, and the audit excludes
  them: a passive loudspeaker is never fed down an XLR or a DB25.

- 4c13722: Apply the Studio submission batch and correct the IR-Live identifier

  Added 31 observed versions and one new identifier (Phase Fiasco Tape Fiasco 2)
  from catalog-submissions #25-57. The 29 Universal Audio items already carried
  their exact identifier, so what the batch actually contributed was version data
  for entries that had none.

  IR-Live carried `com.WavesAudio.IR-L`, which belongs to IR-L. That made IR-Live
  unmatchable by its own id, and a real install fell through to name matching and
  landed on Mixed In Key's "Live" entry instead. IR-Live now carries the observed
  `com.WavesAudio.IRLive`, and IR-L takes the id that was sitting on its sibling.
  The sonible smart:reverb submission was withheld: its version places it in the
  original smart:reverb, which the catalog does not carry, not in smart:reverb 2.

## 3.65.0

### Minor Changes

- a6325a3: Refresh Tokyo Dawn Labs: 8 new, 0 discontinued, 20 updated.

  Adds Limen, Collector and six retired plugins including both Feedback
  Compressors and the vladg.net era Limiter N6, Molot and Nova-67P. Existing
  entries pick up current pricing, Linux builds and newer version numbers.

### Patch Changes

- c58ffaa: Refresh ToneBoosters: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 17 updated.

  Every entry gains current pricing, VST3 and iOS availability, fuller
  feature detail and version history. BitJuggler and Enhancer move to more
  specific primary categories.

- 05e6574: Backfill plugin formats and versions from a KVR Studio Manager scan: 9 formats
  across 8 entries, and 236 versions across 231 entries. The scan's response half
  matches each plugin to KVR's product database, which resolves WaveShell
  component names (RCompressor, SSLEQ, REQ 6) to real Waves products and supplies
  a current version for 203 entries that had none.
- 004e150: Close the eight open CodeRabbit security findings (four medium, four low).

  **SSRF, `scripts/lib/url-guard.ts` (CWE-918).** `fetchPublic` resolved a
  hostname, approved the answer, and then handed the _hostname_ to native
  `fetch`, which resolved it again. The two answers need not agree, so a host
  an attacker controls could answer publicly for the guard's lookup and
  privately for fetch's — the file's own doc comment called this "the
  residual gap". It now requests through an undici dispatcher whose
  `connect.lookup` is `guardLookup`, so the socket can only reach an address
  that passed; the hostname still travels for the Host header and TLS
  verification. A refusal raised inside the lookup arrives wrapped as
  `TypeError: fetch failed`, so `isPrivateDestinationError` follows the
  `cause` chain and `fetchPublic` rethrows the guard error in place of the
  wrapper, keeping "private destination refused for x" in reports instead of
  "fetch failed". The regression test runs the real fetch against a resolver
  that flips between lookups and fails on the old implementation.

  **Unverified download, `.github/workflows/release.yml` (CWE-494).**
  `curl -sL … | tar xz` ran an executable straight out of a release URL, in
  the step that also held `CATALOG_SIGNING_KEY`. Installing minisign is now
  its own step, with no secrets in scope, that downloads to a file and checks
  it against a SHA-256 pinned in the workflow before extracting. The digest
  was taken from the archive upstream signs with the minisign public key
  published in its README, whose detached `.minisig` is on the same release.

  **Prettier config discovery, `scripts/format-yaml.ts` (CWE-829).** Explicit
  targets could sit anywhere, and Prettier loads configuration from the
  target's directory — importing a `.prettierrc.js` there as code. Targets
  are now confined to regular non-symlink files under `data/`, and Prettier
  is invoked with `--config` naming this repository's `.prettierrc` plus
  `--no-editorconfig`. A full run reformats nothing.

  **Command injection, `scripts/migrate-content.ts` (CWE-78).** Filenames
  from `data/software/` were interpolated into an `execSync` `git mv`;
  double quotes leave `$(...)` and backticks live. Now `execFileSync` with an
  argument array and `--`, and filenames that are not slug-shaped are skipped.

  **Path traversal, `scripts/promote-canonical-urls.ts` (CWE-22).** A
  `--from-mapping` entry's `file` was joined to `DATA_DIR` unchecked, then
  reused for the write under `--apply`. It must now match
  `<collection>/<slug>.yaml` and pass containment, re-checked immediately
  before writing.

  **Unbounded read, `scripts/validate-urls.ts` (CWE-400).** The changed-file
  path matched the git pathname lexically and then followed it, so a symlink
  committed at `data/software/x.yaml` redirected the validator to whatever it
  pointed at. Both the file list and the read itself now go through the new
  `checkContainedRegularFile`, which refuses symlinks, non-regular files and
  anything resolving outside `data/`.

  **Slow-drip request, `scripts/promote-canonical-urls.ts` (CWE-400).**
  `requestOnce` had only an inactivity timeout, which a byte every ten
  seconds resets forever, and drained the whole body after collecting its
  4 KB sample. It now carries a 30s wall-clock deadline that destroys request
  and response, and stops reading once the sample is full.

  **Markdown injection, `.github/workflows/url-health.yml` (CWE-116).** A
  catalog URL went raw into a Markdown table row. The workflow's `cell()`
  encoder now collapses control characters, escapes table, code-span and
  link metacharacters and defuses `@mentions`; the same hardening lands in
  `dataset-audit.yml` and `discontinued-check.yml`, whose weaker `cell()`
  escaped pipes only. Link delimiters (`[`, `]`, `(`, `)`, `!`) are in the
  set because an unescaped `[text](url)` renders as a live link that a
  bot-authored report appears to vouch for — the same "apparent authorship"
  problem as a raw `@mention`, caught by review on the first pass. The other half is new validation: `z.url()` accepts a
  URL containing a newline, a NUL or a pipe, so **E126** now rejects control
  characters in single-line values (newlines stay legal in `description`,
  `details` and `specs`, which are prose). The full catalog passes as-is.

  Adds `undici` as a devDependency, a `checkContainedRegularFile` helper in
  `scripts/lib/utils.ts`, `scripts/lib/control-characters.ts` with tests, and
  the conventions behind each fix to CLAUDE.md. No data changes.

## 3.64.1

### Patch Changes

- 54cab39: Add per-format identifiers and current versions for 34 software entries.

  Homebrew's cask index was matched to the catalog by vendor domain and
  name (30 entries). Of the 37 macOS download URLs it and the Open Audio
  Stack registry link to, the installer introspection lane read 26
  installers (the rest were disallowed by robots.txt or over the size
  cap), which yielded exact bundle ids for every FabFilter plugin's VST, CLAP
  and AAX builds, plus Audio Hijack, Engine DJ, Platinum Notes, Focusrite
  Control and Bome Network. Every entry gains a versions entry for the
  release the installer carries. Two existing values the installers
  contradict are corrected: Pro-MB's CLAP id is spelled Clap.1 like every
  other FabFilter id, and FabFilter One's ids carry its major version 3.

## 3.64.0

### Minor Changes

- 7382f9e: Make `default` and `bundle` identifiers reach `software_formats`.

  An entry holding its identifier under `identifiers.default` (208
  entries) or `identifiers.bundle` (5) built to a NULL identifier on every
  format row, because the build looked each format up by name and nothing
  else. Studio's plugin matcher reads only that column, so 217 of the 247
  entries with identifiers could never match a scanned plugin. The build
  now resolves each listed format as its own key, then `default`, then
  `bundle` for `au` and `standalone`. Rows with a non-null identifier go
  from 46 to 822. Additive, so `schema_version` is unchanged.

- d0850ad: Add the identifier writer and the lanes that feed it.

  Software identifiers were the thinnest field in the catalog (247 of
  4,443 entries) and the one plugin sync depends on. Every observed
  identifier now lands through one writer, `scripts/lib/identifier-writer.ts`,
  which refuses a `local.*` fallback, an invalid value, a format already
  resolving to a different id and a vendor segment naming another maker,
  and adds an unlisted format beside its id and a version the entry lacks.
  It is fed by `pnpm identifiers:from-telemetry` (Studio's name-match
  observations, two or more installs), `pnpm identifiers:apply` (a
  reviewed TSV), `pnpm identifiers:from-registry` (the Open Audio Stack
  registry) and `pnpm identifiers:from-juce` (a JUCE project's build file).
  `vst3` accepts the 32-digit class id beside the bundle id. No data file
  changes and `schema_version` is unchanged.

- b37e401: Import Ashdown Engineering (263 hardware/accessory entries).

  British bass and guitar amplification maker, family run since 1997.
  Covers the ABM, RM Rootmaster, Original, CTM, MAG, AGM and UK-made
  head, combo and cabinet ranges, the SX guitar amp line, Woodsman
  acoustic combos, NFR studio monitors, several compressor and drive
  pedals, and footswitch accessories.

- e85535c: Refresh Cherry Audio: 3 new, 2 discontinued, 40 updated.

  Adds the Crumar DS-2, Ensoniq ESQ-1 and Memorymode 2 instruments. Retires
  Memorymode and Pro VS Mini, whose product pages are gone. The refreshed
  entries pick up missing formats, platforms, prices, videos and current
  product copy.

- d3d872e: Refresh DHPlugins: 10 new, 0 discontinued, 1 updated.

  Adds the HALO 2 hybrid synth with its FX and Lite editions, the LFO-EQ
  filter plugin, and six HALO 2 expansion packs (Beast-Mode, Borg Bass,
  Cyberfunk, Junglist, Mono-Synth and Raw). BASS-FACE picks up video titles
  from its current product page.

- e8d6828: Refresh sonible: 15 new, 1 discontinued, 3 updated.

  Adds the pure and learn era of sonible's range, including pure:EQ, pure:limit, pure:level, pure:unmask, pure:deess, smart:EQ 4, smart:comp 3, smart:reverb 2, smart:gate, smart:chain, prime:vocal, entropy:EQ+, proximity:EQ+, true:balance and the free puffer:fish. smart:EQ 3 is marked discontinued, and smart:deess, smart:limit and true:level gain current specs, formats, prices and descriptions.

- 1df4743: Refresh Sonuscore: 2 new, 0 discontinued, 89 updated.

  Adds Elysion Elements and The Sculpture, and refreshes the rest of the
  Sonuscore range with current prices, specifications and descriptions.
  Review rewrote manufacturer marketing copy into factual prose across
  the range and removed several claims that belonged to other products.
  The refresh also surfaced that a large share of these entries are
  resold third-party libraries, which is noted on the pull request for a
  person to decide.

- 3a3ff1c: Refresh STL Tones: 5 new, 0 discontinued, 233 updated.

  Adds five AmpHub models (Fenix Super, Max Drive M808X, Mizar Wild OD,
  My Crunch Drive and Osaka J120) and refreshes the rest of the range
  with current prices and descriptions. 128 entries had their product
  link updated after the store renamed its handles, and several
  descriptions that had been cut off mid-sentence are now complete.

- 4f70f8b: Import Syntonie (28 hardware/software entries).
- d235d2c: Refresh Three-Body Technology: 1 new, 0 discontinued, 21 updated.

  Adds Future DS, a spectral de-esser, and brings the existing twenty-one
  plugin and instrument entries up to date with the maker's current site.
  Every entry now carries its regular list price, replacing promotional
  figures captured at earlier imports.

### Patch Changes

- e7c838b: Back-fill seven identifiers from Studio telemetry, and let a maker's own
  domain satisfy the vendor-segment check.

  The vendor-segment guard compared a reverse-domain identifier against the
  manufacturer's slug and display name only. A bundle id is built from the
  maker's domain rather than its name, and the two need not resemble each
  other: Universal Audio ships `com.uaudio.effects.*` from `uaudio.com`,
  which matches neither `universal-audio` nor `Universal Audio`, so every
  identifier for that maker's 156 entries was refused as naming somebody
  else. `vendorSegmentMatches` now also accepts the host of the
  manufacturer's url, and only of a root url, because a brand whose url is a
  deep path on another company's domain is hosted there rather than the
  owner of it (`bock-audio` sits on `uaudio.com/pages/microphones`).

  The seven rows are in `docs/reviews/2026-09-identifier-backfill-telemetry.tsv`
  with the rejections and the reason each was declined. Six entries gain an
  identifier they had none for. The seventh, the API Vision Channel Strip
  Collection, already held the right id under `default` and listed no formats
  at all, so the build wrote it onto no row and the matcher could not reach
  it; it gains `formats: [vst3]`, the format actually observed.

- 55330c2: Validate every identifier value, `default` and `bundle` included.

  `pnpm validate` now reports E400 for an identifier that does not match
  its key's pattern. Until the build applied `default` and `bundle` to
  format rows a malformed value under either key never reached the
  database, so nothing checked it. `pnpm identifier-coverage` now counts
  an entry as covered only when a listed format resolves, so a `bundle`
  beside vst3 and aax, or a `productId` alone, is listed by what is still
  missing rather than skipped.

- bce757b: Write down that a maker's own domain satisfies the vendor-segment check.

  catalog#863 taught `vendorSegmentMatches` to accept the host of the
  manufacturer's `url` alongside the slug and display name, and only of a
  root url, but left the Identifiers section describing the old two-spelling
  behaviour. Anyone reading it would not know why `com.uaudio.effects.*`
  passes on `universal-audio`, which is the shape of change this file exists
  to stop being re-litigated. No code or data changes.

- 3c8c054: Refresh Sonnox: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 15 updated.

  Adds GBP pricing and product identifiers across the Oxford plugin
  range, Claro, Voca, VoxDoubler and ListenHub, and expands the
  specifications on every entry. Product descriptions were rewritten
  from promotional copy into factual prose, which also corrected two
  errors: Oxford Dynamics described five of its six processes, and
  Oxford SuprEsser DS carried the base SuprEsser's description along
  with a linear-phase claim that contradicted its own latency spec.

- 5afcc32: Refresh Synchro Arts: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 5 updated.

  Updates the five Synchro Arts plugin entries from the maker's current
  site, filling in details, specs and licence terms for RePitch Elements,
  RePitch Standard, Revoice Pro 5, VocAlign Pro and VocAlign Standard.
  Each entry now records its perpetual licence term alongside its price,
  and the tier-specific feature lists separate what Standard and Pro each
  include.

- 3821709: Restore the Wildhunt edition prices removed during PR #851 review

## 3.63.0

### Minor Changes

- 40ceacd: Refresh baltic audio: 93 new, 0 discontinued, 8 updated.

  Adds the label's Serum, Spire and Sylenth1 preset series, the Slap
  House, Trap, Festival Ammo and Essential Pop Moments sample packs, and
  its loop and drum collections. The eight entries already in the catalog
  gain current prices in EUR, video previews and refreshed copy.
  Multi-pack bundles are deliberately left out, since what a user installs
  is the individual pack.

- 1bfb146: Refresh Black Rooster: 25 new, 0 discontinued, 2 updated.

  Adds the rest of the Black Rooster Audio plugin range, including the
  VLA opto and FET compressors, the Pultec-style VEQ equalizers, the
  OmniTec tube preamp and compressor, the RO plate and spring reverbs,
  the TD-201 tape echo and the Koen Heldens signature series. The two
  entries already in the catalog, BlackAsh SC-5 and BlueAsh SC-5, pick
  up formats, platforms, prices and refreshed details.

- 64b70d3: Refresh Blue Microphones: 6 new, 0 discontinued, 1 updated.

  Adds the current Yeti microphone line (Yeti, Yeti Nano, Yeti Orb, Yeti GX
  and the active dynamic XLR Yeti Studio) plus the Radius III shockmount, and
  fills in the Compass boom arm entry, which until now carried only a name and
  a one-line description. Blue is owned by Logitech and its products are sold
  on logitechg.com, so that is where this roster was read from.

- ddadf44: Refresh Bome Software: 10 new, 0 discontinued, 3 updated.

  Adds the rest of the Bome range, including MIDI Translator Pro and
  Classic, Send SX, Mouse Keyboard, MIDI-CI Tools, the BMIDI Virtual MIDI
  SDK, and the BomeBox 2 preview, plus the retired CS1x-Edit and Renovator
  for ReBirth 2. Refreshes BomeBox, Bome Network and Bome Network Pro with
  current descriptions, specifications, prices and release history.

- 0a680f5: Refresh Bowers & Wilkins: 63 new, 5 discontinued, 15 updated.

  Adds the custom-install ranges the catalog did not carry (CCM and CWM
  in-wall and in-ceiling, CT series, ISW subwoofers), the 800 Series D5
  generation, the Formation and Zeppelin wireless families, marine
  speakers and the CDA-2HD amplifier. Retires the 803 D4, DB1D, HTM81 D4
  and the D4 Signature pair, and adds capabilities and a second currency
  to entries the catalog already carried.

- d223849: Refresh Catalinbread: 19 new, 4 discontinued, 59 updated.

  Adds the Knight School kit pedal line, the Ghost artwork reissues, the
  Galileo 4K and the EG1 Lo-Fi Delay. Existing entries gain manufacturer
  spec tables, dated USD prices and missing capability tags. Four legacy
  pedals the brand no longer sells are marked discontinued.

- 5bc61af: Import mnemonic devices (3 hardware entries).
- 92837ad: Add Modbap Modular: 3 Eurorack modules, 12 sample and wavetable packs, and 3 accessories.
- 1c47557: Import ModularPlug (1 hardware entry).
- abba316: Refresh Nembrini Audio: 2 new, 0 discontinued, 61 updated.

  Adds the Bass 3500 bass amplifier and the Blue Clipper saturator. The
  sixty-one existing plugins gain current descriptions, feature lists,
  release history and demo videos, and every entry is now correctly
  classified as software.

- 078c15a: Refresh oeksound: 1 new, 1 discontinued, 3 updated.

  Adds soothe3, the current generation of oeksound's dynamic resonance
  suppressor, and retires soothe2, whose product page now redirects to it.
  bloom, spiff and soothe live pick up the feature lists and version history
  published on oeksound.com.

- 32735bc: Import Olivia Artz Modular (7 hardware and 2 content entries).
- b3f0101: Import P4L (13 hardware and accessory entries).
- eec6665: Refresh PSP Audioware: 1 new, 0 discontinued, 58 updated.

  Adds PSP BBDelay, a bucket brigade delay and ambience processor, and
  refreshes the existing 58 plug-in entries with current descriptions,
  feature lists, demo videos and prices. Two bundle entries had a stale
  free price sitting beside their real one, and fourteen entries listed
  the generic VST format where they support VST 2.4 specifically.

- 97f5056: Add Rivolta: 39 guitars and basses plus 3 accessories.
- 6a4fad4: Import Roswell Pro Audio (23 hardware and accessory entries).
- 8f3b34a: Import Silvertone (39 hardware and accessory entries).
- 8396757: Import Smoothie Audio (1 hardware entry).
- 37ef768: Import Sontronics (34 hardware/software entries).
- ba7e851: Import Spector (83 hardware/accessory entries).
- af0f427: Import Stoel Music Systems (28 hardware and 3 accessory entries).

### Patch Changes

- b5045c5: Refresh Black Octopus Sound with current pack contents and descriptions.

  Reconciles the label's existing sample pack entries against its current
  product pages: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 19 updated. Adds Serum compatibility
  and release dates, expands the pack contents from the current spec sheets,
  and replaces storefront marketing copy with factual descriptions. Existing
  prices were reviewed against the storefront and left unchanged.

- 9d97e7c: Refresh Polyverse Music: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 8 updated.

  Comet, Filterverse, Filtron, Gatekeeper, I Wish, Manipulator, Supermodal and
  Wider pick up current feature lists and demo videos. Marketing copy is out of
  the descriptions, Filterverse's filter count now reads the same in every
  field, and Wider gains its version history.

- 1270ceb: Refresh SIR Audio Tools: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 6 updated.

  Product links now point at the manufacturer's current product pages rather
  than the retired ones, which had been redirecting. Euro pricing is listed
  alongside dollar pricing for StandardCLIP, SpectrumAnalyzer, StandardEQ and
  qwertyGO!, and StandardEQ gains its 1.6.042 release.

- e187b25: Refresh Sonarworks: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 2 updated.

  SoundID Reference picks up its 5.13.7 and 5.13.8 releases, and SoundID

  Drums), the pedal line (Endless, Mess, Step, Press), and five
  Polyend-branded accessories (Hard Case, Power Supply, MIDI Jack to DIN
  Adapter, Stereo Jack Adapter, USB-C Cable).

### Patch Changes

- b19e73c: Refresh ODDSound: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 3 updated.

  MR Editor, MTS-ESP Mini and MTS-ESP Suite now carry the descriptions,
  overviews and feature lists published on oddsound.com. MR Editor is
  recategorised from MIDI effect to utility, which is what a sound editor
  and librarian for Ensoniq MR hardware actually is.

## 3.61.0

## 3.60.0

### Minor Changes

- 67fc357: Remove five consumer audio brands that fall outside the catalog's scope: Dekoni (143), Altec Lansing (36), Campfire Audio (32), Buchardt Audio (15) and Magnepan (14).

  All five were imported in the last 48 hours by the tier 5 campaign. They are home hi-fi, consumer Bluetooth speakers and audiophile headphone accessories rather than music production gear, and the tier manifests now exclude them so nothing re-imports. No remaining entry references any of the 240 removed ids.

### Patch Changes

- b603995: Post-merge cleanup after the 2026-09-06 import wave, plus the standing
  dataset-audit backlog.

  Import-wave fixes: `hp` backfilled on modular entries from sourced widths, 33
  colorway duplicates folded into `variants`, tagline separators dropped from 9
  names, specs lines restating structured fields removed, a scraped placeholder
  description rewritten.

  Backlog: every cv/gate, clock and expression jack filed by its documented rule
  (548 ports across 127 entries), 260 dead AlphaTheta manual links repointed at
  the help-center articles that replaced them (closes #673), 13 canonical urls
  promoted over aggregator ones, and `hp` coverage on modular entries raised from
  54% to 84%.

  Adds `5-pin xlr` and `proprietary` to the io connection vocabulary.

## 3.59.0

### Minor Changes

- 64559b3: Add an additive `hp` field to hardware (Eurorack panel width, positive integer) with a nullable `hardware.hp` column (schema migration 23, no `schema_version` bump), a `modular-missing-hp` audit finding with hp coverage, a reproducible `pnpm hp:backfill` pass, and `hp` on 359 of the 408 modular entries from their own prose, maker pages and ModularGrid.

  Adds ReDominator, Semi Modular X (ASM1X) and the TR-808 and TR-909
  sample packs, and brings the Bass Line 2, Bass Line 3 and Drum Machine
  entries up to date with the maker's current pages.

- e4f0fd4: Refresh AudioThing: 50 new, 2 discontinued, 2 updated.

  Adds the full AudioThing effect and instrument plugin range, from the
  Things series and the Type tape emulations to Orbita, Wurly and the
  sampled drum machines. Bells and Bowed Harp are retired, and Noises
  and Dub Station are brought up to date.

  plugin entries with current descriptions, specs, formats, platforms and
  pricing from the maker's product pages.

  Adds the FET-72 Colour Module and fills in technical specifications
  for 28 existing Louder Than Liftoff entries, covering the Chroma and
  Mister Focus hosts, the Colour and Mojo modules, and both Silver
  Bullet tone amps. Recorded prices now carry the date and source they
  were read from.

- 812f1b7: Import Magnepan (14 hardware and accessory entries).
- c3f2e8c: Import MasterSounds (34 hardware and accessory entries).
- 668852b: Import Maxon (41 hardware/software entries).

### Patch Changes

- 1073861: Layout hints (`rowPosition`/`columnPosition`) are now validated for shape, and the five entries that carry them were checked against their manuals and photos (AUREO-1115).

  `pnpm validate` fails a hint that is not a positive integer (E122), one
  set without its partner (E123), a cell occupied twice on one edge (E124)
  and an edge where some ports carry a hint and others none (E125), because
  Studio takes a hinted side down the grid path and back-fills the rest
  row-major. `pnpm dataset:audit` reports hint coverage per collection and
  for modular entries. The three Black Lion patchbays gain the
  `columnPosition: 1` their single-column rows implied, the PBR-8 gains
  the mult row its front panel shows, and the Eventide H90's USB-C and
  power jacks move to the lower row the quick reference guide draws them
  on. The Apollo Twin X matched its hardware manual and is unchanged.

- 8947a2c: Capabilities are now recorded on 911 hardware entries, up from 768, and 106 operations that entries described in their own text but did not list are filled in, including the Eventide H90's granular, freeze, reverse, pitch correction and stutter effects.

  Nothing wrote `capabilities` during import, merge or maintenance, so the
  field was frozen at whatever the original pass produced and everything
  imported afterwards carried none. `pnpm derive-capabilities` populates the
  143 effects entries that had accumulated, and a new `pnpm capability-gaps`
  reads each assessed entry's prose back against the vocabulary to report
  operations the list omits.

  That report deliberately has no bulk apply. Tier-1 probes measured about
  87% precision against the corpus and the residue is not lexical: prose
  names a sibling product, an influence, a simile or a denied spec row.
  `pnpm capability-gaps:apply` takes reviewed `slug<TAB>capability` pairs
  only, and the accepted list ships in `docs/reviews/` with the rejections
  and their reasons beside it.

- b0c8370: Refresh Audio Blast: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 51 updated.

  Every Audio Blast plugin and sample pack now carries the current
  product text, specs and release dates from the maker's pages, and
  video entries gained their missing provider and title fields.

- d15d9e4: Refresh Klanghelm: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 10 updated.

  Every Klanghelm entry now carries the current description, feature list
  and system requirements from the maker's product pages, along with
  release history for DC8C, VUMT and VUMT deluxe. MJUC gains a link to
  the French edition of its manual.

- 6df475d: Refresh Krotos Audio: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 61 updated.

  Every Krotos Audio entry now carries the current description, feature list
  and specifications from the maker's product pages, covering the nine
  plugins and all 52 sound effects libraries. Krotos Studio's page has moved
  to its own domain and its link is updated.

- 81cacdc: Refresh Lindell Audio: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 15 updated.

  Brings the existing Lindell Audio plugin entries up to date with current
  descriptions, specs, formats, version history and pricing.

- 77fa3f2: Refresh LiquidSonics: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 12 updated.

  Brings the existing LiquidSonics reverb entries up to date with current
  descriptions, specs, formats, version history and pricing, and gives each
  one a more specific primary category.

- ed53834: Refresh Massey Plugins: 0 new, 0 discontinued, 9 updated.

  Re-checked all nine plugins against the manufacturer site. Every
  price, format and platform already matched, so the entries now
  record the date and source their prices were verified from.

- 8c9587f: Seven products superseded by a newer model are now marked discontinued (Belle Epoch, Kilobyte, Micro Clock mkII, Brick Lane 500, Phoenix, Tape Fiasco, Mininn Drum), and Splice's own Astra page is no longer flagged as an aggregator link.

  Scripts: `validate.ts` and `build-sqlite.ts` no longer run on import.
  Each main-guards its tail and exports its units, and both gain
  characterization tests (#645, #646): the error-code mapping, markdown
  scanning, supersedes cycle detection and every advisory warning for the
  validator, and a fixture catalog built through the real `buildDatabase`
  into a temp file for the SQLite build, asserting row counts, populated
  FTS tables, alias search terms, compatibility edges, lineage, io
  flattening, variants and translations. `buildDatabase` takes a
  `{ dataDir, outputFile, version }` options object defaulting to the
  production paths, so `pnpm build` is unchanged.

  `isManufacturerOwnDomain` compares the manufacturer slug against each
  host label rather than their concatenation (#644), so a maker's
  subdomain or a multi-part TLD reads as the maker's own site. Measured
  against the dataset, exactly one entry changes.

- 61f2e29: `pnpm validate-urls --changed-only` is now bounded, so a PR file cannot hold
  the runner open indefinitely (CWE-400).

  The changed-file path checked every unique URL a file declared with no limit,
  and a HEAD that timed out was followed by another ten-second GET, so N slow
  URLs cost up to N×20s. It now carries a work budget: at most 100 unique URLs
  per file and 500 per run, with a file over budget reported as broken rather
  than checked, and a five-minute aggregate deadline shared by every request
  through one `AbortSignal`, so URLs still queued when it fires report instead
  of starting more work. A timed-out or aborted HEAD is no longer retried with
  GET, since that failure is deterministic; the 401/403/405 GET retry is
  unchanged. Scheduled full-catalog runs stay unbudgeted, and both workflow
  jobs gain an explicit `timeout-minutes` backstop.

## 3.58.0

### Minor Changes

- cf677a7: Import Animal Factory Amplification (14 hardware/software entries).
- b8af251: catalog-import-merge: joey-sturgis-tones — add 32 sample, impulse-response
  and plugin entries; all 61 existing entries re-verified and unchanged.

  Adds 30 content entries (Conquer All IR volumes I–V, the ANVIL and JTW v30
  IR packs, Make Believe, the Riff Vault loop packs, and the Blood Series,
  Departure Drums, Truth Custom, Shoulder City, Cymbalism and Kaoss sample
  packs) plus 2 software entries (Black Box, Impossible Fader).

  Bundle SKUs were deliberately excluded. Every pre-existing entry matched a
  live product URL, so nothing was marked discontinued.

- bd60937: Import Rossum Electro-Music (22 hardware/software entries).

### Patch Changes

- 4505ebf: Validator warns on unknown keys (W132) and untermed same-currency prices (W131), prices gain an optional term, scoped format normalises entry shape.

  `pnpm validate --strict-unknown-keys` turns W132 into E121 for the import
  lanes. `pnpm format <files>` now rewrites alias categories, drops a
  secondary category equal to the primary, coerces details and specs to
  block scalars and orders io fields. The unscoped run is unchanged. The
  sqlite build carries an additive `term` column on every prices table.
  CLAUDE.md gains the I/O modelling conventions, the price term, unknown
  key and ios rules, the import supersedes policy and the known false
  findings list, mirrored in .coderabbit.yaml (AUREO-1076).

- 4ee935a: An unknown key is now a validation error (E121) on every `pnpm validate` run, not a warning.

  W132 and its opt-in flag existed only while 337 entries on `main`
  predated the check. Those were backfilled in catalog#716, so strict is
  the only mode and the W132 code is retired. `--strict-unknown-keys` is
  still accepted and ignored, because the racks import lanes probe for
  it and pass it on their changed files (AUREO-1079).

- 5d10a93: Backfill the 465 unknown keys across 337 entries so `pnpm validate` reports no W132 on main.

  Every key Zod was silently stripping now lives where the schema keeps
  it or is gone: `versions[].notes` and `changes` become `description`,
  `versions[].date` becomes `releaseDate`, `links[].label` becomes
  `title`, `prices[].type` one-time and perpetual become `term: perpetual`,
  a top-level `discontinued: true` becomes the `discontinued` category,
  and the Grado S550 cable terminations become `variants`. Dropped with
  no home: `platforms` on 219 STL content entries, a `type: software`
  marker on 13 discoDSP entries, price notes, labels and regions, and 32
  conditional discount, demo, intro and bundle price rows that were never
  a term (AUREO-1079).

- 188979b: `pnpm format` now turns a `details` or `specs` plain scalar that wraps over several lines into a `|-` block scalar, not only one that carries a paragraph break.

  The rule tested the value for a newline, and a folded plain scalar has
  none because YAML folds the line breaks to spaces, so 127 wrapped
  `details` on `main` came through the first `--normalize` pass
  untouched. A value wider than the writer's 80-column fold now counts
  as multi-line too. A single short line is still left as it is
  (AUREO-1080).

- aecaa3c: Second shape pass: 126 entries whose `details` or `specs` wrapped over several lines as a plain scalar now carry a `|-` block scalar.

  These are the entries the first `pnpm format --normalize` pass left
  behind because a folded plain scalar carries no newline in its value.
  With that rule corrected, the pass is a no-op on `main`, and every
  scoped `pnpm format <file>` in an import PR changes shape only for
  what the PR itself introduced (AUREO-1080).

- 8f2c09f: One-time shape normalisation of 803 entries: 708 alias categories rewritten to their canonical name, 290 duplicate categories dropped, 94 details arrays turned into block scalars.

  The pass `pnpm format --normalize` has run on every entry once, so
  from here every scoped `pnpm format <file>` in an import PR is a no-op
  on shape and the unscoped run can stop skipping it. No entry gains or
  loses information: an alias and its canonical category are the same
  category to the build, a category that repeats the primary was already
  implied, and a `details` array and its block-scalar form render the
  same paragraphs (AUREO-1080).

- 2aaa0c5: `pnpm format` normalises entry shape on every run, scoped or not, so the `assign-ids` sync keeps the tree in shape.

  The scoping existed only while 708 entries on `main` still carried
  alias categories, and #718 and #720 rewrote those. `--normalize` is
  still accepted and changes nothing (AUREO-1080).

- 493c105: Prices on 61 entries that carried several amounts in one currency now say what each amount is: 48 gain a `term` (perpetual, monthly or yearly) and 77 sale, upgrade, free-tier and bundle rows are removed.

  Every maker's page was read for this pass. Subscriptions keep their
  monthly and yearly rows with a term each (Output Arcade and Co-Producer,
  Serato DJ Pro, Slate Transient Shaper, the A.O.M. Total Bundle), one-off
  licences keep the list price as `perpetual`, and an intro price, a
  loyalty discount, a free edition beside a paid one, an upgrade fee or a
  higher edition sold as a bundle goes. Sonuscore Percussion carried only
  two sale prices and now lists the Series edition at 299 USD. AudioMulch
  is untouched because its site could not be reached. Distinct hardware
  models that shared one entry (CDMK sizes, iLoud Precision models,
  Majesty string counts) keep the base model's price, with the rest
  recorded in AUREO-1084 for entries of their own (AUREO-1081).

- 3b56f45: The schema version history now documents every migration through version 22, including the optional price `term` column, so a consumer can see the four breaking changes it previously omitted.

  `docs/SCHEMA_VERSIONS.md` is the compatibility contract consumers are
  told to read, and nothing in the repo referenced it, so it drifted. It
  stopped at "Version 10 (Current)" while `scripts/schema.sql` had reached
  22, hiding versions 13, 15, 16 and 17 as breaking, and hiding the `term`
  column of catalog#715. It had also mislabelled the v17
  `hardware_revisions` rename as a second "Version 8". Versions 11 through
  22 are backfilled from the `schema_migrations` rows, the mislabelled
  entry is corrected, and a guard test diffs the doc against those rows so
  the next migration cannot land without its entry (AUREO-1081).

- 703baf4: catalog-import-merge: acon-digital refreshes 12 existing entries with current product data

  Updates descriptions, details, specs, formats, platforms, versions and
  images across the full Acon Digital plugin line from the manufacturer's
  current product pages. No new entries and no retirements.

- 8bfa29a: catalog-import-merge: adam-audio refreshes all 24 existing entries with current product data

  Updates descriptions, details, specs, images, links and videos across the
  A, S and T series, the subwoofer line, the H200 headphones, S Control and
  the two accessories. No new entries and no retirements. Proposed `io`
  changes are listed in the pull request for review rather than applied.

- 177c82d: catalog-import-merge: audio-modeling refreshes the Ambiente entry with current product data

  Updates the canonical URL to the maker's current /products/ path and adds
  description, details, specs, formats, platforms, prices, links, videos and
  version history. No new entries and no retirements.

- ab6e3b7: catalog-import-merge: jam-origin, refreshed all 7 entries from the current jam.live product pages

  Updates descriptions, details, specs, formats, platforms, prices and
  version history for MIDI Guitar 3, MIDI Guitar 3 Hex, MIDI Guitar 3 for
  Logic, MIDI Bass 3, MIDI Cello 3, Guitar Mods and MIDI Guitar 2. No
  entries were added or retired.

- 2b69662: catalog-import-merge: kazrog, refreshed 12 plugin entries with current specs, system requirements and pricing

  Reconciled all 13 existing Kazrog entries against the live
  kazrog.com storefront. No products were added or discontinued:
  every catalog entry is still on sale.

  - 36 safe-add fields applied across 12 entries (details, specs,
    descriptions, formats, prices).
  - KClip 3's price corrected to its current regular price.
  - KClip Zero regained the platform requirements its product page
    no longer lists, sourced from the Kazrog Plugin Manager page.
  - Avalon EQ Bundle left untouched pending a human decision on its
    pre-existing bundle-entry flag.

## 3.57.0

### Minor Changes

- c86d0b1: catalog-import-merge: acon-digital adds 6 new plug-ins (Remix, Remix:Drums,
  DeBleed:Drums, Extract:Dialogue 2, Multiply, Verberate Basic), refreshes
  7 existing entries and marks AudioLiquid Converter discontinued.
- dbace44: catalog-import-merge: adam-audio adds S Control and refreshes all 23
  existing entries with current details, specs, videos and cosmetic
  variants. Existing curated I/O left untouched.
- 717935c: catalog-import-merge: audioblast adds 50 new entries (11 software, 39 content) and refreshes Abx3

  Adds Audioblast's full current roster: the plugin line (AcidBox, Blast
  Delay, BreadSlicer Pro, DistoBlast, Drum Blaster, Instalooper3,
  Minilooper, Mininn Drum, Mininn Drum 2, Multi FX Blaster, Rave
  Generator 3) plus 39 preset banks, sample packs and add-ons for ABX3
  and Rave Generator 3.

  The existing Abx3 entry gains formats, prices, specs, releaseDate,
  videos and a refreshed description. Bundle SKUs were excluded per the
  catalog's no-bundles rule.

- 491c5c0: Import Darkglass Electronics (50 hardware/software/accessory entries).

  Bass amplifier heads, combos and cabinets (Alpha·Omega and Microtubes
  lines), overdrive/distortion/compressor pedals, the Anagram multi-effects
  unit, footswitch and carrying-bag accessories, and the free Darkglass
  Suite companion app.

- 8cd57cb: Import Death By Audio (30 hardware/accessory entries).

  Death By Audio is a Brooklyn-based boutique effects pedal maker.
  Adds their core lineup of fuzz, distortion, delay, reverb, and
  modulation pedals (Fuzz War, Apocalypse, Echo Dream 2, Rooms,
  Total Sonic Annihilation 2, Time Shadows II, and others), plus a
  handful of accessories (Raw Power supply, patch cables, mic-stand
  mounting hardware, and a gig bag).

- f552ae8: Import Empress Effects (37 hardware/accessory entries).

  Adds the full current pedal lineup (compressors, drives, distortions,
  delays, modulation, EQ, reverb, buffers, the ZOIA modular platform and
  ZOIA Euroburo eurorack module) plus MIDI/power accessories. Four
  limited-edition cosmetic variants (Heavy Menace Limited Edition,
  ParaEq MKII Deluxe Black, 10th Anniversary Tremolo, ZOIA 10K) are
  folded into their base entries' `variants` arrays. Five supersedes
  edges link discontinued predecessors to their successors.

- 3bf6f3b: Import HEDD (43 hardware/accessory entries)

  Adds HEDD's studio monitor and headphone lineup: the TYPE 05/07/20/30
  MK2 and A-CORE monitors, Tower Mains, BASS 08/12 subwoofers, and the
  HEDDphone / HEDDphone TWO / TWO GT / D1 headphones, plus their
  official cables, earpads, and adapters. Also adds the IsoAcoustics V120
  mounting brackets and HEDD's own M05/M07/M20/M30 mount bundles used to
  pair HEDD monitors with the V120 isolation system.

  Four Atmos bundle/consultation listings (Bespoke, Bold, Dream, Light)
  were intentionally excluded: they package existing monitor/subwoofer
  SKUs rather than being standalone products.

- b8a5f35: catalog-import-merge: hofa-plugins, 3 new entries and 36 refreshed

  Adds SYSTEM ThirdPartyPluginLoader plus two 4U freeware utilities
  (Meter, Fader & MS-Pan and Goniometer & Korrelator) that were absent
  from the sitemap and reachable only from the freeware page. Refreshes
  descriptions, details, specs, prices, videos and links across the 28
  existing software and 8 content entries, filling 17 entries that
  previously carried no description at all. No discontinuations.

- 9e8b94c: catalog-import-merge: hornet, 3 new entries and 85 refreshed

  Adds Spaces MK2, SpectraDuck and ZeroWidth. Refreshes descriptions,
  details, specs, prices, formats and videos across the existing 85
  HoRNet plugin entries, replacing changelog fragments and one-line
  taglines with multi-paragraph prose and adding specs throughout. Marks
  the original Spaces as discontinued. Its product page now redirects to
  Spaces MK2.

- 42d593a: Import Joranalogue Audio Design (28 catalog entries: 27 hardware modules and 1 accessory).

  Belgian Eurorack modular manufacturer. Adds 27 modules spanning

  Floral) folded into their base product's `variants` array rather
  than imported as standalone entries.

### Patch Changes

- 874d964: catalog-import-merge: getgood-drums, refresh product details on 53 entries

  Replaces one-line placeholder details with the current vendor prose for
  all 24 GetGood Drums software entries and 29 content entries. No products
  added, removed, or discontinued; names, descriptions, categories, formats,
  prices and URLs are unchanged.

- 08f1eb7: catalog-import-merge: gforce, refresh product details on 59 entries

  Adds current vendor prose to 59 GForce Software entries, adds specs to 40
  entries that had none, and follows the vendor's URL rename for The Streetly
  Tapes Vol 2, 3 and 4. Corrects three prices that had been captured at a sale
  value. No products added, removed, or discontinued.

- 8fb3f18: catalog-import-merge: gg-audio, refresh Blue3 and Spin

  Replaces scraped label fragments with real product prose on both entries,
  adds full specs and demo videos to Blue3, and corrects its price, which was
  recorded as zero against a listed 49 USD. No products added or removed.

- 16a39b0: catalog-import-merge: glitchmachines, refreshed 22 existing entries

  Refreshes details, specs and descriptions across 9 software and 13
  content entries, adds version history to 9 plugins, formats to 5, and
  `compatibleWith` host references to 3 sample packs. No new products and
  no discontinuations.

- 512be92: catalog-import-merge: goodhertz, refreshed 21 existing entries

  Refreshes details and specs across all 21 software entries, adds
  video references to 11, version history to 6, plugin formats to 2, and
  corrects the primary category on CanOpener Studio and LA-210. No new
  products and no discontinuations.

- 04891a4: catalog-import-merge: hitnmix, refreshed 6 existing entries

  Refreshes details and specs across all six RipX entries, adds pricing
  and plugin formats to RipX DAW PRO, video references to two, and a
  primary category to RipX. No new products and no discontinuations.

- a3b0bf7: catalog-import-merge: ignite-amps, refreshed 11 existing entries

  Adds details and specs to the 11 free Ignite Amps plugin entries, which
  previously carried a description and little else. No new products and no
  discontinuations: the site's roster matches the catalog exactly. The three
  hardware pedals are deliberately untouched, their only presence on the
  site being a photo portfolio with no specs.

- 55f06af: catalog-import-merge: illformed, refreshed 1 existing entry (Glitch 2 now free, VST3 added)
- 6f88adf: catalog-import-merge: inphonik, refreshed 4 existing entries (added user manual links)

## 3.56.0

### Minor Changes

- 17f7e31: catalog-import-merge: future-audio-workshop, 26 new packs and a 4-entry refresh

  Adds 26 Circle², SubLab, SubLab XL and Notes patch and sample packs as
  content entries with images, and refreshes the four existing software
  entries (Circle², Notes, SubLab, SubLab XL) with current formats,
  details, specs and videos. Corrects SubLab's price from a previously
  captured sale price to its regular price.

### Patch Changes

- 0bfdd75: catalog-import-merge: drumforge, refreshed 63 existing entries

  Refreshes descriptions, details, specs and videos across 15 software
  and 48 content entries, adds `compatibleWith` host references to 11
  groove and sample packs, and adds the `standalone` format to the
  David Bendeth sampler. Strips OS-requirement, supported-DAW and
  license boilerplate from specs. No new entries, no deletions, and
  every existing ID is preserved.

## 3.55.0

### Minor Changes

- b0483af: catalog-import-merge: d16-group adds 4 Lush 2 sound expansions and Plasticlicks, and enriches 19 existing plugin entries

  Added Aurora, Lure, Pulse, Ripple (Lush 2 preset packs) and Plasticlicks
  (drum sample collection) as new content entries. Enriched all 19 existing
  D16 plugin entries with details, specs and version history that were
  previously missing. Pulsatec's primaryCategory is now equalizer, the
  canonical category for the analog passive EQ its own product page
  describes. PunchBox's name stays flagged for human review (PunchBox vs
  PunchBox 2, reflecting the manufacturer's in-place product refresh).

- 85edfd9: catalog-import-merge: discodsp adds TDminator and refreshes versions/prices/descriptions across 9 existing entries
- 94551ae: catalog-import-merge: dotec-audio adds DeeMultiWider and refreshes DeeVocalTools version history

### Patch Changes

- a766b4e: catalog-import-merge: audiosourcere refreshes descriptions, details, specs, and video links for all 5 entries from current site content
- 7348f35: catalog-import-merge: ddmf, fill in missing descriptions for the free
  IIEQ and Transport plugins, and record Tube Preamp's current version.
- e958d6b: catalog-import-merge: dmg-audio refreshes all 16 existing plugin entries (prices, descriptions, specs, versions, formats)
- 40aec2a: catalog-import-merge: dmitry-sches-audio-software refreshes descriptions,
  details, specs, and version history for Diversion, Tantra, Thorn, and
  their free preset packs from the current manufacturer site.

## 3.54.0

### Minor Changes

- 1564d44: Add hardware_io.signal_flow_raw carrying the unflattened
  YAML signal flow, and stamp schema_version into catalog_meta
  for Studio's reader-compatibility gate. Additive only, the
  flattened signal_flow column is unchanged.
- e452187: catalog-import-merge: black-salt-audio — add BSA Mix Bus, refresh copy/pricing/URLs across the 16 existing entries

### Patch Changes

- b5f34b1: catalog-import-merge: audiomulch — fix dead product URL (site dropped /products, now points to the What is AudioMulch page)
- c29f00f: catalog-import-merge: chase-bliss — refresh 15 existing hardware/accessory
  entries (descriptions, details, specs, I/O, videos, manuals, and a
  Lost + Found URL update) from the current chasebliss.com product pages.
  No new or newly-discontinued entries in this pass.
- 9e6c92b: Reclassify 70 mislabeled `connection: pin` ports to their real connectors (binding-post, db25, hdmi, pin-header, 1/8-inch, xlr) and add a `suspect-pin` dataset-audit check that flags the remaining pin ports for review (AUREO-1043).
- 33d883c: Reclassify 495 remaining `connection: pin` ports to their real connectors (euroblock, db25, speakon, binding-post, spring-terminal, 1/8-inch, mini-xlr, idc, card-slot, db9, xlr, mmcx, apple-30-pin), fix speaker-level typing on the reclassified speaker paths, and keep genuine pin contacts (phono cartridges, 500-series card edges). Adds `mmcx`, `apple-30-pin`, `barrier-strip`, `rj11`, and `twist-lock` to the connector vocabulary, corrects Crown CDi/XLC/DSi barrier-strip outputs, DCi RJ-11 GPIO ports, vRack twist-lock mains inlets, and I-Tech HD Speakon/binding-post outputs, and splits aggregated multi-socket entries (Antelope/RME DB25 pairs, Fostex L/R speaker terminals, Mackie MMCX earpieces) into one entry per physical connector (AUREO-1043).
- cc61483: Repoint dead manual links on 7 Pioneer DJ effector entries. The
  `downloads.support.alphatheta.com/manuals/dj-effectors/` tree no longer
  exists, so every link under it 404s; AlphaTheta moved manual content into
  support articles. EFX-1000 keeps its "Specifications" title against a
  dedicated specifications article; the other six point at the instruction
  manual and are retitled, since the per-page anchor no longer exists.
- 084af2c: Remove storage media card slots (SD, microSD) from hardware io, 44 entries across 44 files. Card slots hold media, not cables, so the setup graph cannot use them, the same reasoning as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. New validation error E120 blocks reintroducing them by name while leaving option and expansion card bays legal.

## 3.53.0

### Minor Changes

- d9bed2a: Add a `capabilities` field to hardware entries recording what a product does, covering 768 effects entries

  `capabilities` is a closed, single-dimension vocabulary
  (`schema/capabilities.yaml`) describing the audio processing operations a
  product performs. It exists because `categories` cannot answer whether two
  products overlap: 26% of hardware carries `discontinued`, 12% `analog`, 12%
  `rack-mount`, while the functional tags sit under 1% each, so the frequent
  values are lifecycle, form factor and technology rather than function.

  Validation is strict. E119 flags an unknown value, E205 flags a duplicate, and
  there are no aliases. A guard test fails the build if the vocabulary picks up a value from a
  non-functional category group. Built into SQLite as `hardware_capabilities`,
  and reported by `pnpm capability-coverage`.

  Also recategorises 21 dbx entries out of `multi-effect`: the 16 DriveRack
  loudspeaker-management processors move to a new `speaker-management` category,
  and five others move to what they actually are (`reverb`, `dynamics`, `flanger`,
  and `utility` for a remote-control panel that processes no audio).

## 3.52.1

### Patch Changes

- 938986b: Record Bad Mood's two colourways, Ink Edition and Xtreme Red

## 3.52.0

### Minor Changes

- c34f50a: catalog-import-merge: algorithmix — add Sound Laundry compact edition, refresh version numbers on 6 existing products
- 3b58592: catalog-import-merge: chase-bliss. Adds Bad Mood, refreshes 14 existing
  entries with current copy/specs/images/videos, marks exp discontinued

### Patch Changes

- 9d9dd88: Add the four rear panel io ports to the IK Multimedia iLoud MTM MKII, which had none and so could not be wired into a setup
- daa7781: catalog-import-merge: accentize — refresh 11 existing entries with current pricing, descriptions and specs
- c654b17: catalog-import-merge: aly-james-lab, refresh specs and versions for all 8 existing entries from the current manufacturer site

## 3.51.2

### Patch Changes

- 7419a46: Flag discontinued products in the web index

  The index derived `discontinued` from `verification.status`, which only 3
  of 11,042 entries carry, so web consumers saw 3 discontinued products
  where the dataset marks 1,770. That signal is retained and unioned with
  the two Studio already uses: the canonical `discontinued` category and
  entries another product supersedes.

- 27c6cdd: catalog-import-merge: aberrant-dsp — add current version numbers to 4 plugins (Digitalis, Lair, ShapeShifter, SketchCassette II)

## 3.51.1

### Patch Changes

- b6b7bc0: Clear the validation warning backlog (62 warnings across 51 files).

  I/O connectors: Black Lion preamps and patchbays had port names copied
  into the `connection` field ("AC Power", "TT/Bantam slot inputs"), now
  real connectors. Added `tt`, `4-pin din`, `db15`, and `digilink` to the
  connection vocabulary. Patchbay rows are aggregates by nature, so
  `patch-bay` entries no longer trip the collapsed-jack heuristic (W128).

  Search: added expansions for RAH (Royal Albert Hall), CJ (Collings
  Jumbo), SJ (Small Jumbo), and SPA (grandPa Expander); recorded the
  researched dead ends (Brauner VMA/VMX, Dangerous MQ, Burl BCLK,
  Catalinbread SFT, Collings MF/MT) and the names that only look like
  acronyms (URLA, CROM, LOL, BOB, BOBEK, MIXER, OR).

  Also dropped `url` where it merely repeated the manufacturer homepage
  (AIR Music, Artiphon, Forgotten Keys, Sonic Sirius, none of which
  publish a live product page for those entries) and removed the
  duplicated brand prefix from "Drumforge Djent Grooves: Vol. 1".

## 3.51.0

### Minor Changes

- 39b17bc: Import AC noises (4 hardware entries).

  Italian boutique effect pedals: CONTINUA (stereo dynamic sampler and
  multi-effect), RICORDA (stereo granular reverb with freeze and loop),
  URLA (CMOS fuzz into an MS-20 style dual resonant filter), and AMA V.2
  (oscillating spring reverb into a bit crusher). RICORDA and AMA V.2
  carry their Limited RETRO Series finish as a cosmetic variant rather
  than a separate entry. Merchandise listings were excluded.

- 3068b2a: Import Cranborne Audio (12 hardware, 2 accessory entries).

  500-series preamps, EQs, and compressors (Camden 500, Carnaby 500,
  Brick Lane 500) alongside their standalone rack evolutions (Camden
  EC1/EC2, Carnaby HE2, Brick Lane MC4), audio interfaces (500R8,
  500ADAT), and C.A.S.T. breakout/distribution gear (N22, N22H, N8).
  Includes a half-rack mounting kit and a cosmetic blanking-plate
  accessory.

### Patch Changes

- d9b9084: Fix Tape Fiasco 2 description: it was carried over from Tape Fiasco 1
  (three engines) — rewritten to match the actual v2 feature set of four
  time-based engines (Stretch, Varispeed, Stutter, BendIt), consistent
  with the entry's details text.

## 3.50.0

### Minor Changes

- 205a1cd: Import Conductive Labs (5 hardware entries).

  Adds The NDLR (MIDI interval sequencer/groovebox), MRCC (modular
  MIDI Router Control Center), the discontinued MRCC 880, and two
  MRCC expansions: XpandR 4x1 and Remote 7.

- fce031d: Import Cordoba (93 hardware entries).

  Classical/flamenco nylon-string guitars (Protege, Iberia, Luthier,
  Luthier Select, Master, Fusion, Stage, Mini lines) and ukuleles
  (15/20/24/25/35 series). Includes Cordoba x Abasi Concepts signature
  7-strings and 5 cosmetic colorway families folded into `variants`.

- a30954a: Import Crane Song (17 hardware/software entries).

  Hardware: Avocet IIA monitor controller, Egret summing mixer, Falcon
  and STC-8 tube compressors, Flamingo and Syren mic preamps, HEDD
  Quantum and Interstellar/Solaris Quantum converters, Ibis and Insigna
  equalizers, Spider preamp mixer, Titan² compressor, and Trakker
  compressor-limiter. Software: the Phoenix and Phoenix II tape-emulation
  plug-in suites and the Peacock vinyl-emulation plug-in.

- a0c3fe0: Import Cre8audio (17 hardware/accessory entries).

  Adds cre8audio's Eurorack/semi-modular lineup: Assembler
  mixer, Boom Chick drum machine, East Beast and West Pest
  synths, Programm sequencer, NiftyKEYZ and NiftyCASE, plus
  standalone modules (Capt'n Big-O, Chipz, Mr. Phil Ter,
  Cellz, Function Junction) and accessories (Nazca Noodles
  cables, Box 'o' Cables, NiftyCASE PSU, BigEARS, bag).

- 5c80ca0: Import Critter & Guitari (8 hardware/accessory entries).

  Adds the Organelle S2 synthesizer and 7 accessory/spare-part
  entries (replacement mic, microSD card, power adapter,
  replacement keypad, MIDI cables, USB WiFi adapter).

- 1b0b34c: Import Phase Fiasco (8 entries: 4 software, 4 hardware).

  Jonas Eriksson's Phase Fiasco brand: the Tape Fiasco 2, Tape
  Fiasco, Annulus, and Modular Fiasco plugins, plus the Meteor
  Shower, [i], 240 DL, and Skalman eurorack modules.

### Patch Changes

- 7908b02: Retire the inert monthly staleness-check workflow. The fields it
  reported on (verification.lastVerified, prices[].asOf) are populated
  in zero entries, so every run filed the same meaningless issue.
  Freshness detection now happens in the racks repo (AUREO-890).

## 3.49.0

### Minor Changes

- a2887f8: Import Intellijel (168 hardware/accessory entries).

  Eurorack modules, cases, power systems, and accessories:
  Metropolix, Cascadia, Atlantix, Rubicon², Planar², Shapeshifter,
  Rainmaker, plus the 1U tile line, 4U/7U performance cases,
  TPS power supplies, and the recovered legacy line (Metropolis,
  Rubicon, Dixie, µMod, µScale, µStep, Spock, Plog) with
  supersedes edges wired between generations.

## 3.48.1

### Patch Changes

- f795592: Backfill prices for 1,271 hardware entries that were missing them. Befaco
  modules (50) sourced from the official Befaco store; ~1,221 other entries
  across ~90 manufacturers researched from manufacturer webstores and major
  retailers (Sweetwater, Thomann, B&H, Andertons). Prices are bare
  `amount + currency`. Discontinued products and entries with no confidently
  findable price were left unpriced. Hardware price coverage rises from 36% to
  58%.

## 3.48.0

### Minor Changes

- 1896b74: Remove April Fools gag plugins and clean up joke-framed copy.

  Deleted two Joey Sturgis Tones novelty entries that are gags rather than
  usable tools: JST Black Box (a plugin that "doesn't actually do anything" by
  design) and JST Impossible Fader (a fader deliberately engineered to ignore
  input). Both were real downloads but function as jokes, not production gear.

  Kept the Deathcore Soundboard — a genuinely functional sample instrument (16
  triggerable vocal phrases) — but rewrote its description/details/specs to drop
  the "THIS PLUGIN STARTED AS AN APRIL FOOLS' JOKE" framing and gag "Known
  Issues", and corrected its platforms (VST3/AU/AAX plugin, no Linux build).

  The JHS Voice Tech fake was already removed in #595.

## 3.47.0

### Minor Changes

- cde6a99: Import Dirtywave (3 products): the M8 Tracker Model:02 and the discontinued
  original M8 Tracker (superseded by Model:02), plus the DW01 Synthdrums preset
  pack. Adds the Dirtywave manufacturer.

## 3.46.0

### Minor Changes

- b0d3b14: Import Dangerous Music (23 hardware entries).

  Analog summing mixers (2-BUS family), monitor controllers
  (MONITOR/MONITOR-ST/MONITOR-SR/SOURCE), converters (CONVERT
  series), the BAX EQ/BAX500 shelving equalizers, COMPRESSOR,
  LIAISON patchbay, MASTER transfer console, and the S&M
  (Sum-Minus) mid-side matrix.

- 07e430e: Clean scraped junk out of product names and remove standalone bundle entries.

  Renamed ~310 entries: stripped page-title marketing taglines ("nanobox |
  tangerine – Compact Streaming Sampler" → "Nanobox Tangerine"), trademark
  symbols (™/®/©), HTML entities, and manufacturer-name prefixes ("dbx 286s"
  → "286s") — the manufacturer is stored and indexed separately, so the
  prefix duplicated data. Reattributed seven Sonuscore storefront listings
  to their actual developers (Wavelet Audio, Soundiron) and added
  searchTerms where names became bare acronyms (DDP, DJDI, DRMR, EX) or
  lost a commonly searched compound form (EHX by JHS Big Muff 2, BAE 8CR).

  Removed 86 standalone bundle/suite entries (HoRNet, Antelope Audio,
  Arturia V Collection, Soundtoys 5, Softube collections, Lexicon PCM
  bundles, and more) whose member products exist individually — a bundle is
  a commercial SKU, not a discrete product. Integrated products that only
  carry "Suite"/"Bundle" in the name (Waldorf Edition 2, PSP MixPack2,
  Ampeg-style single packages) were kept.

- 07e430e: Add name-hygiene validation and bundle-entry auditing.

  `pnpm validate` now hard-fails on mechanical name junk (E118: trademark
  symbols, HTML entities, stray leading/trailing separators, doubled
  spaces) and warns when a name starts with the manufacturer's display
  name (W129) or contains a tagline-style en/em-dash or pipe separator
  (W130, with a reviewed exclusion list for official stylings).
  `pnpm dataset:audit` gains two Tier-2 review checks: name-tagline
  (plain-hyphen suffixes that may be scraped taglines) and bundle-entry
  (suite/bundle categories or bundle-ish software names, with an
  allowlist for integrated products). Conventions documented in CLAUDE.md
  and docs/VALIDATION_ERRORS.md.

- 07e430e: Remove Bluetooth and Wi-Fi from hardware io sections.

  Wireless capabilities are not physical ports, so they don't belong in
  the io graph. Removed the Bluetooth io entry from 31 hardware files and
  the Wi-Fi entry from the KEF XiO, and dropped `bluetooth` and `wifi`
  from the io type vocabulary so future imports fail validation instead
  of reintroducing them. Wireless capabilities remain documented in
  description/details/specs. Also corrected the Midas MR18's Ethernet and
  ULTRANET ports, which were mislabeled as `dante`.

## 3.45.0

### Minor Changes

- e430a3b: Add telemetry-reported software versions (112 versions, 110 entries).

  Backfills versions that Studio's catalog sync reported as installed
  but missing (`catalog_version_not_found`, March–July exports).
  Dominated by the Waves 16.x line (94 entries), plus Antares (10),
  FabFilter (5), Kontakt, Bitwig Studio, UA Ravel, sonible truelevel,
  and IK Multimedia. Adds the reusable
  `scripts/add-telemetry-versions.ts` used to apply them.

### Patch Changes

- 765c43a: Fold the JHS Colour Box 10 into the Colour Box V2 as a cosmetic variant.

  The "Colour Box 10" is the 10th Anniversary Edition of the Colour Box V2 —
  identical circuit, controls, and I/O in a limited navy-blue finish — so it
  fails the separate-entry test and becomes a `variants` entry on the V2
  (resolving the open consolidation note from the jhs-pedals import, #571).
  Adds `searchTerms` ("Colour Box 10", "Color Box") so the anniversary name
  still ranks in search, and carries over the one demo video unique to the
  removed entry.

## 3.44.0

### Minor Changes

- c2d3c81: Import 1010 Music (30 hardware/accessory entries).

  Covers the current desktop and Eurorack lineup (Bento, Blackbox 2,
  Bluebox, Tangerine, the Nanobox line, Bitbox mk2/Micro and their Black
  Edition variants), the archived first-generation modules (Blackbox,
  Bitbox, Fxbox, Synthbox, Toolbox, Waverazor, MX4, Euroshield), and
  cables/faceplates/spare parts accessories.

- 199e5b2: Import 1V/Oct (3 hardware entries).

  Eurorack modular synthesizer manufacturer. Includes The Centre
  (polyphonic modular-in-modular synth voice), Twins (quad FX
  processor), and Taipo (MIDI extender module).

## 3.43.0

### Minor Changes

- 50b1428: Import Origin Effects (29 hardware/accessory/content entries).

  UK boutique guitar/bass pedal manufacturer. Adds the full Cali76
  compressor line, BASSRIG and DELUXE/RevivalDRIVE amp-recreation
  pedals, Halcyon and DCX overdrive/boost pedals, the M-EQ Driver and
  MAGMA57, plus the IR Cab Library and replacement knob/accessory
  parts.

## 3.42.0

### Minor Changes

- 984910b: Import Alvarez (4 hardware entries).

  Adds baritone acoustic guitars and acoustic bass from the Alvarez
  Artist Series: ABT60 (current and 2017 archived models), ABT60ce
  8-String (with Shadowburst variant), and AB60ce acoustic bass.
  All entries feature solid Sitka Spruce tops and FST2 bracing.

- 51a2155: Import Amphion Amp400.8 (1 hardware entry).

  The Amp400.8 is an 8-channel rack-mount power amplifier with Class-D
  amplification and a proprietary buffer stage, designed as a sonic match
  for Amphion and other passive studio monitors.

- b41ea97: Import Bastl Instruments (19 products).

  Seven discontinued Eurorack hardware modules: grandPA granular sampler,
  SPA expander, Noise Square noise/square generator, LOL mute utility,
  Little Nerd clock/trigger processor, Multiple passive splitter, and
  the original Skis envelope+VCA (predecessor to Skis II).

  Eight accessories: Juice Bus busboard, Rumburack Case, Marton Case,
  Long Skiff, Marton Skiff, and three full Eurorack systems (Rumburack
  2.0, BOB, BOBEK).

  Four VCV Rack software plugins (free): VCV Basil delay, VCV Crust
  drum voice, VCV Pizza synthesizer, VCV Kompas sequencer.

- fd9126c: Import Benson Amps (26 hardware entries).

  Handmade boutique amp builder from Portland, OR. Adds their full
  lineup: 12 guitar amplifiers (Monarch Reverb Plus and Bellringer
  in head and 1x12 combo configurations, Redland Reverb in 15W/35W
  head and combo configurations, Vincent, Nathan Junior, Vinny

  Super PSG, SY-4X Syncussion, VProm, VSDSX) stored 34-char `PL…` playlist
  IDs in `videoId`, which no embed player accepts and whose thumbnails 404.
  Each is replaced with the first video of that playlist plus its real
  title, resolved from YouTube and verified via oEmbed.

## 3.39.1

### Patch Changes

- ef826bc: Canonicalize IO connection values and expand the connection vocabulary. Adds `ethercon`, `hdmi`, `db9`, `idc`, `pin-header`, `card-slot`, and `iec-c6` to `schema/io-connections.yaml`, and normalizes ~300 near-miss connection values across 100+ hardware files (`trs`/`ts`/`trs-male`/`trs-female` → `1/4-inch`, `xlr-male`/`xlr-female` → `xlr`, `phoenix` → `euroblock`, `rj45` → `ethernet`, `etherCON` → `ethercon`, `d-sub-9` → `db9`, Eurorack bus power `proprietary` → `idc`, plus casing/singleton fixes), resolving the W121 warning backlog. Also splits the ME-1/ME-500 collapsed Network entries into their physical Link In / Link Out EtherCON ports and corrects the KEF Reference 8b passive inputs to `type: speaker-level`.
- ef826bc: Fix W128 collapsed-jack IO entries across 11 hardware files: split multi-jack entries into one entry per physical jack (A&H GR4 stereo RCA inputs, Antelope Satori DB25 in/thru, Blackstar cab inputs and TV-10 speaker outputs, RME UFX III AES/EBU in/out, dbx 166XL/XS per-channel sidechain inserts) and correct Midas DL155 AES3 XLR entries to maxConnections 1 (each XLR carries 2 channels on one jack). Blackstar passive-cab/speaker entries also corrected from `line` to `speaker-level`, and the Satori entry from `1/4-inch` to `db25`.
- 3e1dffa: Replace aggregator canonical `url`s (KVR, ModularGrid, Plugin Boutique,
  Best Service, ...) with the makers' own official pages across product and
  manufacturer entries, verified live. Entries whose maker is confirmed gone
  keep their aggregator link as the only remaining page. Adds
  `scripts/promote-canonical-urls.ts` (link promotion + researched-mapping
  apply, with live URL verification) and an `aggregator-url` check to
  `pnpm dataset:audit` so new imports can't silently reintroduce these.
- b8055bc: Import 11 Chase Bliss products and complete the discontinued lineage.

  - New entries: Gravitas, Condor, Ayahuasca, Generation Loss, Bliss Factory,
    Tonal Recall, Tonal Recall RKM, Brothers, Warped Vinyl (MKI), Faves, and
    Big Time (current, ships August 2026) — sourced from official manuals and
    archived chasebliss.com/chaseblissaudio.com product pages.
  - Tag 8 existing Chase Bliss entries `discontinued` per the manufacturer's
    discontinued section (Habit, Preamp MKII, Thermae, Condor HiFi, Dark World,
    Warped Vinyl HiFi, Spectre, Wombtone MKII).
  - Wire `supersedes`: Condor HiFi → Condor, Generation Loss MKII → Generation
    Loss, Warped Vinyl MkII → Warped Vinyl. Tonal Recall RKM deliberately left
    unwired (sold concurrently with the original).
  - Add Brothers AM Monochrome Edition as a cosmetic variant.

- bb32901: Data cleanup: remove links[] entries that duplicate the main `url` (or an earlier link) across 68 files, drop the nakst-apricot link that duplicated the manufacturer homepage, and remove specs lines that restate the structured formats/platforms fields in 19 files. Clears all W124/W126 validation warnings.
- 957d455: Resolve the W127 acronym backlog: add researched searchTerms (verified expansions like Pentatone Equalizer, Rupert Neve Direct Interface, Constant Loudness Monitor System, plus documented spacing/model variants) to 41 acronym-named entries, add 24 stylized non-acronym names (BASIL, CIAO, CRBN, MJUC, TAIP, ZHEGA, …) to the W127 false-positive exclusion list, and add a researched-no-expansion suppression list for 16 letter-name products (Oberheim DMX/DSX/DX, Ensoniq VFX, Waldorf STVC, …) whose names have no documented expansion to index.
- b8055bc: Mark 712 out-of-production products with the `discontinued` category and add
  a `defunct` manufacturer flag.

  - New optional manufacturer field `defunct: true` (company gone, nothing
    still produced under the brand); set on 13 manufacturers (E-mu, Ensoniq,
    ARP, Siel, Quasimidi, Elka, Technosaurus, Gleeman, Chamberlin, EML, PPG,
    Steiner-Parker, Future Retro). Products of defunct manufacturers are
    tier-1 auto-tag candidates. The flag ships in the SQLite build as a new
    `manufacturers.defunct` column (INTEGER, default 0) so downstream apps
    can render manufacturer status.
  - `discontinued:report` gains three signals: defunct-manufacturer (tier 1),
    vintagesynth.com-linked (review tier — VSE also covers current gear), and
    released-20+-years-ago (review tier — age is never auto-safe: SM58, DS-1,
    A-100 are evergreen).
  - `discontinued:apply` gains `--signal defunct` and `--files <list.txt>` for
    applying human-reviewed lists.
  - Tagged: 112 defunct-manufacturer products plus 600 reviewed
    vintagesynth-linked entries (55 VSE-linked products verified still in
    production or uncertain were deliberately left untagged).

## 3.39.0

### Minor Changes

- 5c6b735: Standardize `io[].type` across the catalog and enforce the vocabulary. Widen
  `schema/io-types.yaml` with 10 real port types that were missing (`rf`, `hdmi`,
  `gpio`, `insert`, `clock`, `bluetooth`, `wifi`, `video`, `ground`,
  `proprietary`), canonicalize 371 ports across 78 hardware entries, and promote
  unknown types from an advisory warning to a hard validation error (E117).
- 6ce285f: Add `io`, `formats`, and `releaseDate` to `catalog-index.json`. Ports are
  grouped (`{type, connection, flow, count}`) rather than emitted verbatim, and
  I/O type spelling variants (`spdif`, `wordclock`, `aes3`) are folded into their
  canonical forms so the data is queryable.

### Patch Changes

- 13a9cbe: IO vocabulary follow-ups from the #539 review: correct Bastl Klik clock output to `type: clock`, correct Mackie DLM12 channel inputs to `mic`/`instrument`, add `usb-b-mini` to the connection vocabulary (Bastl Klik, Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1), canonicalize Xone:43 connections (`trs` → `1/4-inch`, `minijack` → `1/8-inch`), and update CLAUDE.md/CONTEXT.md/VALIDATION_ERRORS.md to reflect enforced IO types (E117) and the expand-the-vocabulary policy.

## 3.38.0

### Minor Changes

- ef2316e: Add the `/io-enrich` enrichment command and correct the Apollo Twin X I/O.

  Pillar 2 of the I/O data-quality plan (#212): a repeatable, authoritative-source
  process for fixing and enriching a hardware entry's `io`.

  - New `.claude/commands/io-enrich.md` codifies the manual-first workflow proven on
    the Eventide H90: read the manufacturer manual/QRG panel diagrams, model one
    entry per physical jack, set positions and column/row from the diagram, verify
    adversarially (flag ambiguous jack faces to the user rather than guess), then
    validate and cite sources.
  - Piloted it on the **Universal Audio Apollo Twin X**, replacing an incorrect
    6-entry list (collapsed "Two 1/4\" Monitor Outs"/"Line Outs" pairs, a split
    Thunderbolt, no mic/line/instrument inputs, everything guessed as `Top`) with
    the real 11 discrete jacks: front-panel Hi-Z and headphone (`Bottom`), and
    rear-panel (`Top`) Mic/Line 1–2 combo inputs, Monitor L/R, Line Out 3/4,
    optical, Thunderbolt, and 12VDC power — with column/row layout from the Apollo
    Twin X Hardware Manual.

## 3.37.0

### Minor Changes

- 860c7be: Add IO data-quality triage: `pnpm io-quality` report and warning W128.

  Follow-up to the IO positioning work (#212). Adds tooling to find and prevent
  bad hardware I/O data at scale:

  - New `pnpm io-quality` report scores every hardware entry and prints a
    prioritized worklist: correctness smells (combine candidates, collapsed
    stereo/numbered-pair names, uniform-position imports), connectivity-category
    devices missing I/O entirely, and entries lacking column/row layout (densest
    first). Supports `--json` and `--limit`.
  - New advisory validation warning **W128** flags `maxConnections > 1` on
    single-jack connections (e.g. two jacks collapsed into one entry), excluding
    intentional aggregates. Non-blocking.
  - Shared heuristic in `scripts/lib/io-heuristics.ts` keeps the report and the
    validator in lockstep.

### Patch Changes

- 744529d: Resolve dataset audit (#365) and discontinued backlog (#362) findings.

  **Duplicate-name groups (#365):**

  - Merged true duplicates onto canonical manufacturer-slug filenames, keeping the
    richer entry and pulling in `formats`/`categories` from the thin twin: 10 uJAM
    Beatmaker instruments (`ujam-beatmaker-*` → `ujam-instruments-beatmaker-*`),
    WA Production Babylon 2 and BassShaper (`w-a-production-*` → `wa-production-*`),
    Airwindows Average (two blog-post imports of one plugin), and the DW
    Satin-Black-over-Brass snare and 4-Piece Performance Series kit (duplicate SKU
    codes).
  - Folded the three Taylor T5z Pro colorways (Cayenne Red, Harbor Blue, Tobacco
    Sunburst) into one entry with a cosmetic `variants` array.
  - Renamed `fostex-t50rpmk4g-2` → `fostex-t50rpmk4g-plus` to match its product
    name (T50RPmk4g+); it is a distinct SKU, not a duplicate.
  - Fixed the audit's `normalizeName` to treat a trailing `+` as a significant
    `plus` token so distinct SKUs (ProFX10v3 vs ProFX10v3+, Prime 4 vs Prime 4+,
    etc.) no longer false-collide. This clears ~12 false-positive groups whose
    members were already correctly modeled as separate entries.

  **Discontinued backlog (#362):**

  - Auto-tagged 14 Tier-1 (superseded, missing `discontinued`) entries.
  - Reviewed and tagged 34 Tier-2 entries with explicit discontinuation language
    (13 Audeze legacy headphones, 14 dbx Professional Audio units, Krotos and
    Synchro Arts software, and others). Excluded `dubreq-ltd-stylophone-s2` — its
    "discontinued in 1975" refers to the original Stylophone; the S2 is current.

## 3.36.0

### Minor Changes

- 9721b39: Add IO port positioning (`columnPosition` / `rowPosition`) enrichment.

  Starts issue #212: IO ports can now carry `columnPosition` (left-to-right) and
  `rowPosition` (top-to-bottom) values describing their spatial arrangement on a
  device edge, so the setup graph can render port layouts accurately. The schema
  already accepted these fields; this adds the convention, tooling, and first data.

  - New `pnpm enrich-io <slug>` interactive tool to assign column/row positions to a
    hardware entry's IO ports, writing back to YAML while preserving formatting.
  - Document the ordering convention in `schema/CONTEXT.md` (via the generator) and
    `CLAUDE.md`.
  - Fully correct and backfill the Eventide H90 Harmonizer as the validation case:
    its IO now lists all 14 discrete rear-panel jacks (Inputs 1–4, Outputs 1–4,
    Exp/Ctl 1–2, MIDI In, MIDI Out/Thru, USB-C, Power) with column/row positions,
    replacing an incomplete 5-entry list that omitted the audio I/O and MIDI Out and
    mis-positioned the jacks.

  - SL 110/112/210/212/410x: add the missing second 1/4-inch input and Neutrik speakON input (each cabinet has 1× speakON + 2× 1/4-inch).
  - SL 115: add the missing speakON input.
  - TLC Compressor EQ DLX: add `supersedes` link to TLC Bass Compressor (product lineage).
  - Aguilar Plugin Suite: add `standalone` to `formats` (the suite runs standalone).

- fe214f7: Enforce recurring import rules in CI and refresh the schema doc.

  Regenerate `schema/CONTEXT.md` (previously stale, blocked by orphan
  category mappings) so `speaker-level`, `speakon`, `binding-post`,
  `euroblock`, `spring-terminal` and other IO enums are visible to the
  importer; add a CI freshness gate + pre-commit hook so it can't drift.

  Harden `pnpm validate`: hardware `io` entries now require
  `maxConnections` and (except on played instruments) `position`, and
  every product entry requires `primaryCategory`. Backfill the handful of
  existing stragglers. Add the passive-speaker `speaker-level` rule and a
  URL-whitespace rule to the schema docs and CodeRabbit path instructions.

- 1a0f022: Fix category and compatibility warnings on existing entries.

  Remove the redundant `fx` alias (normalizes to `effect`, causing a duplicate)
  from eight entries — six Dotec-Audio plugins, Newfangled Audio Obliterate, and
  the HOFA Special FX IR pack — and correct GetGood Drums Modern & Massive's
  `compatibleWith` to the real `native-instruments-kontakt` slug (was the
  non-existent `kontakt-player` / `kontakt`).

- 5f4b027: Split aggregated hardware `io` entries into individual ports.

  Where a single `io` entry collapsed multiple physical jacks into an
  inflated `maxConnections` (e.g. `xlr, maxConnections: 8`), split it into
  one entry per physical connector, each `maxConnections: 1`, preserving
  signal type, connection, and position. Covers 109 files (308 entries →
  individual ports). Heterogeneous, single-stereo-jack, and ambiguous
  cases were left unchanged for manual review.

## 3.34.2

### Patch Changes

- a3c88dc: Merge 44 duplicate manufacturer stubs into their canonical entries.

  Each pair was the same company split across two slugs (spelling, spacing,
  accent, or typo variants — e.g. `ohmforce`/`ohm-force`,
  `hexinverter-lectronique`/`hexinverter-electronique`,
  `moog-music-inc`/`moog`). The duplicate's display name (and any of its own
  search terms) is preserved on the surviving entry via `searchTerms`, 19
  products were repointed to the canonical slug, and several manufacturer URLs
  were corrected to their real homepages. Known distinct-company name
  collisions (e.g. Jackson guitars vs Jackson Audio, Martin guitars vs Martin
  Audio, Pulsar Audio vs Pulsar Modular) were deliberately left untouched.

  Also backfilled official homepage URLs for four distinct (non-merged)
  stubs that had none: `mod-sound`, `arc` (Analogue Research), `jmk-audio`,
  and `jmk-music-pedals`.

## 3.34.1

### Patch Changes

- edcba30: Remove non-schema `images` field from all entries

  The `images:` field is not part of any collection schema (the
  canonical JSON schemas are `additionalProperties: false`) and is
  never read into `catalog.sqlite`. Product images are served from R2
  keyed by id, so the YAML field was dead, misleading data — an entry
  could carry `images:` yet show a placeholder because nothing was
  uploaded.

  Stripped `images:` from 224 entries and added a `validate.ts` rule
  that rejects the field so it cannot reappear. All referenced images
  were confirmed present in R2 before removal (no data loss).

  Transi-Q (EQ), and UNMASK (psychoacoustic dynamic EQ).

  TAL-Elek7ro, TAL-Reverb-2, TAL-Reverb-3, TAL-U-No-62. TAL-J-8X is a new

  TENS jr., TENS, VUMT deluxe, VUMT.

  Fields added across entries: primaryCategory corrections (VUMT
  `meter`→`metering`, TENS/TENS jr. `effect`→`spring`), vst format
  ordering normalized, details and specs blocks enriched, versions
  added for freeware products.

- 54833f4: Merge update for LiquidSonics (12 products enriched): added pricing, version
  histories, descriptions, specs, and videos across the full product line.

  descriptions, details, specs, versions, and videos from current product pages;
  3 name conflicts flagged for human review (Human Plugins, Mashup, Satellite Plugins)
- 9528f2e: catalog-import-merge: sonnox — 1 new product (Oxford SuprEsser DS, AAX DSP
  variant for Avid VENUE/S6L), 14 existing entries updated with descriptions,
  specs, prices, videos, and links from current product pages on sonnox.com
- 98416d3: catalog-import-merge: stl-tones — added 6 new entries (3 AmpHub bass/guitar
  models, 3 ControlHub/ToneHub expansion packs), applied descriptions and prices
  to 138 existing entries, marked 1 discontinued (Will Yip ToneHub)
- c62a5b6: catalog-import-merge: wavearts — enriched 14 existing software entries with updated
  descriptions, details, specs, and prices from current product pages. No new products,
  none discontinued.
- 3a80077: Normalize polyverse-music specs blocks to the `- ` list format and drop the
  redundant platform restatement (W126), and add the `ios` platform to Wider.
- 7baee5c: Remove inline links (URLs, `www.` domains, bare domain mentions, and email addresses) embedded in `description`/`details`/`specs` prose across 22 entries. These auto-linked at build time (GFM autolinks) and duplicated the dedicated `url`/`links` fields; the prose now reads cleanly with the links removed.

## 3.33.0

### Minor Changes

- 99bc8fb: Merge refresh for Hit'n'Mix (hitnmix).

  Adds 2 new companion apps — RipX Deconstruct (free macOS stem
  separator bridging to the RipX iPhone app) and RipX Separator
  (free macOS stem separator for RipX Backstage on Apple Vision Pro).

  Enriches all 4 existing entries with fuller details, specs, and
  platforms; description conflicts and category additions surfaced
  for reviewer.

## 3.32.0

### Minor Changes

- 8b8c0c7: Merge-refresh Dear Reality (discontinued=2, enrichment of 11 existing).

  Dear Reality is a German spatial audio company now operating under
  Sennheiser. All 11 software entries enriched with formats, platforms,
  prices, descriptions, details, and specs sourced from the Sennheiser
  product page. dearVR MIX-SE and dearVR UNITY marked discontinued per
  manufacturer deprecation notices. dearVR MUSIC noted as no longer
  actively maintained, still available to existing owners via Plugin
  Alliance.

- 4022a14: Remove bundle entries and strip purchase links.

  Removed 13 Drumforge bundle entries (7 software, 6 content). A bundle
  is a commercial SKU, not a discrete installable product — what exists
  on disk and syncs is the individual plugins/packs, which remain as
  their own entries.

  Stripped purchase/buy/store links from the `links` arrays across the
  catalog (186 links in 174 files). The canonical `url` already points
  users to the product, so retailer/cart links were redundant.
  App-store / play-store download links were preserved.

## 3.31.0

### Minor Changes

- b97b1fa: Merge-refresh DMG Audio (15 of 16 existing software entries updated).

  DMG Audio is a UK-based developer of professional audio plugins
  covering EQ, dynamics, de-essing, pitch-shifting, metering, and
  stereo processing — known for deep feature sets and high-quality
  processing algorithms.

  Updated entries received: expanded categories arrays (8 products),
  added format entries vst2/vst3 (EQuality, EQuilibrium, Limitless,
  Multiplicity), added full specs bullet lists (EQuality, EQuilibrium,
  Essence, Limitless, Multiplicity, PitchFunk, Dualism), and expanded
  details prose for EQuick and all Track\* products. DMG-Audio-Compassion
  was unchanged (no safe-add fields identified).

- c6b3c24: Merge-reconcile Drumforge (76 updated entries).

  Applied 121 safe-add field updates across 76 existing Drumforge
  entries covering drum samplers, drum replacers, MIDI groove packs,
  one-shot sample libraries, and mixing plugins. Includes
  primaryCategory canonicalization (drum-sample-pack → sample-pack,
  bundle → suite), prices for newly-priced items, and descriptions
  for previously empty fields. One discontinued entry confirmed.

### Patch Changes

- a7482a6: Make punctuated brand names searchable by their unpunctuated forms.

  `brandVariants()` now generates search-term variants for periods,
  ampersands, apostrophes, and slashes, so the FTS index matches names
  like "A.O.M." when a user types "aom", "Mesa/Boogie" for "mesaboogie"
  / "mesa boogie", "D'Addario" for "daddario", and "Bang & Olufsen" for
  "bang and olufsen" / "bang olufsen". Mirrors the existing hyphen/space
  handling; ampersands additionally seed an "and" rewrite.

## 3.30.0

### Minor Changes

- ed8b265: Merge-refresh Algorithmix (3 new entries + enrichment of 11 existing).

  Algorithmix is a German audio DSP company known for high-end spectral

  manual links (ClapTrap 2, FMDrive, Super PSG, VProm 3, VSDSX), version
  history (all 8 entries), and release years (6 entries). Structural field
  conflicts (url www/non-www, categories ordering, prose descriptions) surfaced
  in PR for human review. Notable: Super PSG pricing conflict (€20 vs €15)
  requires manual verification on the product page.

- 2544616: catalog-import-merge: aom (new=0 discontinued=0 updated=14)

  Added releaseDate, videos, and links to 14 existing AOM Factory entries.
  Conflicts (description, specs, prices, categories, primaryCategory)
  surfaced in PR body for human review.

- e23753c: catalog-import-merge: audiosourcere (new=0 discontinued=0 updated=5)

  Added images, videos, and version history to all five AudioSourceRE
  entries (DeMIX Pro, DeMIX Essentials, DRUMLESS, RePAN, VOXLESS). DeMIX
  Pro and Essentials now reflect version 6.0. Conflicts on description,
  details, specs, and select categories are surfaced in the PR for human
  review.

- 7a2545b: catalog-import-merge: black-salt-audio (new=1 discontinued=0 updated=15)

  specs and a version entry (1.1.1).

  human review (only a third-party KVR source was found; official
  Cytomic CDN is CAPTCHA-gated). Categories, description, details,
  and specs conflicts surfaced in PR for reviewer to resolve.

- b4880c0: Merge refresh discoDSP: 1 new entry (Phantom), 12 entries enriched
  with images, videos, versions, and type field.
- 50093d3: catalog-import-merge: dmitry-sches-audio-software (new=1 discontinued=0 updated=3)

  Added Factory Expansions for Tantra (free preset pack, content type). Refreshed
  existing entries: Diversion gained expanded categories (granular, fm, subtractive,
  hybrid, electronic), prose details, trimmed specs, links, and version history;
  Tantra gained primaryCategory upgrade to multi-effect, expanded categories, prose
  details, trimmed specs, links, and version history; Thorn gained two new category
  tags (hybrid, electronic), prose details, 64-bit spec, links, and version history.

- 3c3b66c: catalog-import-merge: dotec-audio (new=5 discontinued=0 updated=32)

  Adds 5 discontinued legacy products (DeeComp, DeeGraphComp, DeeRAM, DeeTP,
  DeeTrim) and enriches 32 existing entries with descriptions, details, specs,
  formats, platforms, prices, versions, and URLs extracted from dotec-audio.com.

- 6117ac9: catalog-import-merge: drumforge (new=13 discontinued=1 updated=63)
- d9f0590: catalog-import-merge: fuse-audio-labs (new=1 discontinued=0 updated=0)

  Adds Tube Lab, a vintage channel strip combining tube preamp (5 models),
  Baxandall EQ, and optical leveler. Note: price field omitted — FastSpring
  product pages are not accessible headlessly; resolve manually before merging.

### Patch Changes

- 1395f12: merge(auburn-sounds): add images and versions (safe-add fields)

  Added CDN image URLs and current version numbers to 7 active Auburn
  Sounds products (Couture 1.10, Graillon 3.2, Renegate 1.6,
  Panagement 2.8, Inner Pitch 2.1, Lens 1.4, Selene 1.1). Added
  version 1.0 to 3 GFM legacy products (Distort, Koch, Psypan).

  Conflicts (primaryCategory, categories, description, details, specs,
  prices, formats for all 10 entries) require human review — see PR
  body for full conflict list.

- b47091a: catalog-import-merge: audiaire (new=0 discontinued=0 updated=1)

  Zone gained version 1.2.

- 60f2563: catalog-import-merge: future-audio-workshop — refresh 4 software entries (Circle², Notes, SubLab XL, SubLab): updated prices, enriched descriptions/details/specs, added categories, updated Notes URL and formats.

## 3.29.0

### Minor Changes

- 9ae6e0d: catalog-import-merge: accentize (new=2 discontinued=3 updated=0)

  Added Content Creator bundle (DialogueEnhance + DeRoom, $94.40) and
  dxLevel (free LUFS leveling plugin). Marked dxRevive Pro, DeRoom Pro,

  demo download links (Digitalis), version data (Cataclysm v1.1, Tectonic v1.1),
  and release year for Lofi Oddity (2023). All structural fields (formats,
  platforms, url, prices) match — this merge surfaces category and prose
  conflicts for human review.

- 9dba47f: Emit a lean `catalog-index.json` web index alongside the SQLite build.

  Adds `scripts/build-catalog-index.ts` (run via `pnpm build:index`),
  which mirrors the SQLite source-of-truth loading to produce a
  slim JSON summary of categories, brands, and products for
  machine-readable / web consumption. The release workflow builds
  and checksums the index and attaches it to the GitHub Release
  next to `catalog.sqlite`.

## 3.27.0

### Minor Changes

- 70464be: Merge update for AudioMulch (1 software entry).

  Adds version history (14 releases, 2.0.0–2.2.5, 2009–2016) and

### Minor Changes

- cd33d70: Import Serato (9 software entries).

  Adds current Serato products — DJ Pro, DJ Lite, Studio, Sample,
  Hex FX, Pitch 'n Time, Visualizer — plus two discontinued legacy
  entries (Scratch Live, DJ Intro). Producer Suite and Serato DJ

  Time DJ) deferred — they share a single anchor-linked page and
  need a follow-up import. 46 Serato Studio sound packs also
  deferred.

## 3.24.0

### Minor Changes

- cbf7bc4: Add `pickup` as a hardware category with five companion subcategories:
  `humbucker`, `single-coil`, `p90`, `active-pickup`, `passive-pickup`. Unblocks
  imports of pickup-making manufacturers (Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, EMG, Bare
  Knuckle, Lollar, etc.) whose catalogs were previously deferred because the
  schema had no home for pickups other than the loosely-typed accessory bucket.
  Pickup entries belong in `data/hardware/` since they are first-class musical
  electronics on par with effects pedals and amplifiers.
- cbf7bc4: Import Serato (9 software entries).

  Adds current Serato products — DJ Pro, DJ Lite, Studio, Sample,
  Hex FX, Pitch 'n Time, Visualizer — plus two discontinued legacy

  Time DJ) deferred — they share a single anchor-linked page and

  captured in `links[]` for later enrichment.

### Patch Changes

- b6d26b0: Dedupe redundant category aliases on Antelope Audio software entries.

  62 Antelope Audio entries from the recent import listed both the
  canonical category and its alias in the same `categories:` array
  (`effect` + `fx`, or `equalizer` + `eq`), producing "Duplicate category
  ... after normalization" warnings at build time. Drop the redundant
  alias rows; the canonical form remains.

## 3.16.0

### Patch Changes

- 547b6b5: Tighten the W127_MISSING_SEARCH_TERMS validation warning and add
  searchTerms to 28 acronym entries with documented expansions.

  The W127 warning previously fired on every entry whose name contained a
  hyphenated model number (e.g. `DR-110`, `SM-7B`) or any all-caps string
  of two or more letters (e.g. `REAPER`, `TONIC`, `IRON`). That covered
  526 entries — almost all of them false positives:
  - Model-number variants (`dr110`, `dr 110`) are already generated by
    `brandVariants()` in `synonyms.ts` at build time and indexed in FTS,
    so asking authors to add them by hand is duplicate work.
  - All-caps stylized brand names that happen to be English words
    (`REAPER`, `TONIC`, `IRON`, `MOOD`) are not acronyms and have nothing
    meaningful to expand.

  The check now flags only short (2–5 character) all-caps names that
  aren't on a small exclusion list of known English words and stylized
  brand names.

  Of the ~65 entries that remained after the rule change, 28 had
  expansions explicitly stated in their own descriptions or were
  universal audio-engineering terms (`VCA` → Voltage Controlled
  Amplifier, `ADT` → Automatic Double Tracking). Those expansions are
  now in `searchTerms`, leaving 37 advisory warnings where the
  expansion would require manufacturer-specific research.

## 3.15.0

### Minor Changes

- d20ee33: Add Cakewalk Next and Cakewalk Sonar DAWs
- 1d274bc: Expand FTS5 search terms with curated synonyms

  Each product/manufacturer row now has additional search terms generated
  from curated misspellings (e.g. `srum` → Serum, `oporator` → Operator),
  common abbreviations (`comp` → compressor, `verb` → reverb), and brand
  name variants (hyphen-stripped / space-separated, e.g. `ms20`/`ms 20`
  for "MS-20"). These flow into both the `*_search_terms` table and the
  FTS5 `search_terms` column, so Studio's strict FTS path returns hits
  for these variants directly without needing the client-side fuzzy
  fallback.

  No schema change. Old Studio versions consuming new catalogs benefit
  automatically; new Studio versions still work against older catalogs
  (the JS fuzzy layer covers the gap).

## 3.14.3

### Patch Changes

- 10eda21: Upgrade to pnpm 11.
  - Move build allowlist from `package.json` `pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies` to `pnpm-workspace.yaml` `allowBuilds` (pnpm 11 no longer reads the `pnpm` field in `package.json`).
  - Pin transitive `vite` to `>=7.3.2` via pnpm override to clear GHSA-v2wj-q39q-566r and GHSA-p9ff-h696-f583 (pnpm 11 now correctly fails `pnpm audit --audit-level=high`, which pnpm 10 silently ignored).
  - Bump dev dependencies.

## 3.13.0

### Minor Changes

- d3fe8b4: Add dedicated search_terms FTS column for improved full-text search ranking. Search terms now get their own high-weight BM25 column instead of being diluted in the description field. Switches FTS tokenizer from porter to unicode61 to fix acronym matching. Adds W127 advisory warning for entries that would benefit from searchTerms. Backfills searchTerms for 70 high-priority entries across software, hardware, and content.

  - Removed Image interface from types
