# Project State

## Project Reference

See: .planning/PROJECT.md (updated 2026-03-24)

**Core value:** Network traffic patterns are instantly recognizable as distinct sounds — a ping sounds different from HTTPS noise, which sounds different from a port scan.
**Current focus:** Phase 02 — audio-synthesis-engine

## Current Position

Phase: 02 (audio-synthesis-engine) — EXECUTING
Plan: 2 of 3

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table.
Recent decisions affecting current work:

- Use `github.com/gopacket/gopacket` v1.5.0 (community fork) — NOT `google/gopacket` which is unmaintained
- Use `github.com/packetcap/go-pcap` for live capture (pure Go, no CGo for capture layer)
- Use `github.com/sjzar/go-lame` v0.0.9 for MP3 encoding (embeds LAME C source, CGo required at build time only)
- Audio synthesis: hand-rolled additive sine oscillators + EMA amplitude smoothing (no external audio library)
- Frequency table: register-separated harmonics (low drones = bulk traffic, mid = control, high = interactive)
- [Phase 01]: Go installed to /home/dev/tools/go-install/go (no sudo); PATH export required each session
- [Phase 01]: Classifier uses ordered []Rule slice with first-match-wins; no switch statement (D-02)
- [Phase 01]: ICMP checked before TCP/UDP in Classify to handle packets with no port info
- [Phase 01]: DefaultWindowMs=500: 500ms windows balance temporal resolution against snapshot frequency for audio synthesis
- [Phase 01]: io.Writer injection in PrintSummary/PrintWindowLine enables test capture via bytes.Buffer and production use via os.Stderr
- [Phase 01-capture-and-classification]: Use net.Interfaces() for listing (go-pcap has no FindAllDevs equivalent); privileges not required for enumeration
- [Phase 01-capture-and-classification]: StartCapture uses 512-buffered channel with atomic drop counter to prevent backpressure blocking capture goroutine
- [Phase 01-capture-and-classification]: Dynamic link type detection via handle.LinkType() not hardcoded LinkTypeEthernet
- [Phase 01-04]: Cobra RunE + signal.NotifyContext for clean shutdown: context cancellation is the single stop signal propagating through all three pipeline stages
- [Phase 01-04]: Three-stage pipeline: capture -> classify goroutine -> aggregate via buffered channels; 1024-buffered classified channel absorbs burst processing
- [Phase 02]: go-lame v0.0.9 used for MP3 encoding (embedded LAME C source, no system library needed)
- [Phase 02]: go-audio/wav excluded — writing PCM bytes directly to LameWriter is simpler (per Claude's Discretion grant in CONTEXT.md)

### Pending Todos

None yet.

### Blockers/Concerns

- Phase 2: Frequency mapping requires subjective listening validation — specific Hz values not determined by research; must test during Phase 2
- Phase 3: Auto-clustering algorithm choice (hash-bucketing vs k-means) deferred until synthesis engine exists to evaluate perceptual results
- macOS privilege model (BPF device vs CAP_NET_RAW) not verified by research — flag if macOS is a target during Phase 1
