Goal Achievement

Observable Truths

All must-haves drawn from PLAN frontmatter across all three plans (02-01, 02-02, 02-03).

# Truth Status Evidence
1 Each of 11 traffic classes has a unique frequency, harmonic profile, and pan position defined VERIFIED ClassFreqConfigs in synth/config.go lines 30-44; all 11 classes present, frequencies 65-780 Hz; TestFrequenciesUnique + TestAllClassesHaveConfig pass

From To Via Status Details
synth/config.go classify/types.go map[classify.TrafficClass]FreqConfig WIRED Line 30: var ClassFreqConfigs = map[classify.TrafficClass]FreqConfig{
synth/layer.go synth/oscillator.go Layer embeds Oscillator WIRED Layer.Osc field is *Oscillator; AdvanceSample calls l.Osc.Advance
synth/bank.go synth/layer.go Bank holds map[classify.TrafficClass]*Layer WIRED Line 8: layers map[classify.TrafficClass]*Layer; NewBank creates layers
synth/bank.go synth/config.go Reads ClassFreqConfigs to initialize layers WIRED Line 20: cfg := ClassFreqConfigs[class]
synth/mixer.go synth/bank.go StereoFramesToInt16Bytes converts bank output WIRED encode/mp3.go line 32 calls synth.StereoFramesToInt16Bytes(frames) where frames come from bank.RenderWindow
encode/mp3.go synth/bank.go RunSynthesis calls bank.RenderWindow per snapshot WIRED Lines 57-60: bank := synth.NewBank(1.0) then frames := bank.RenderWindow(snap)
encode/mp3.go synth/mixer.go Uses StereoFramesToInt16Bytes for PCM conversion WIRED Line 32: pcmBytes := synth.StereoFramesToInt16Bytes(frames)
cmd/netsynth/main.go encode/mp3.go -o flag wired; RunSynthesis integration deferred to Phase 3 PARTIAL (by design) outputPath defined and populated; TODO(phase-3) marks deferred integration point per plan spec

Note: The cmd/netsynth/main.go -> encode/mp3.go link is PARTIAL by deliberate design. Plan 02-03 explicitly states "Do NOT import the encode package yet — Phase 3 handles that." This is not a gap.


Data-Flow Trace (Level 4)

The phase produces a file-output pipeline (not a UI component), so data-flow tracing focuses on the end-to-end synthesis chain.

Artifact Data Variable Source Produces Real Data Status
encode/mp3.go allFrames [][2]float64 bank.RenderWindow(snap) for each snapshot Yes — renders 22050 stereo PCM frames per snapshot via OscillatorBank FLOWING
encode/mp3.go pcmBytes []byte synth.StereoFramesToInt16Bytes(allFrames) Yes — interleaved int16 LE bytes from float64 frames FLOWING
encode/mp3.go (go-lame) MP3 file wr.Write(pcmBytes) + wr.Close() Yes — ffprobe validates real MP3 output in tests FLOWING
synth/bank.go frames [][2]float64 11 layers each calling AdvanceSample() with EMA-smoothed oscillators Yes — non-zero samples when traffic seen; verified by TestRenderWindowNonZeroWithTraffic FLOWING

Requirements Coverage

Requirement Source Plan Description Status Evidence
SYNTH-01 02-01 Each traffic class generates a distinct ambient/drone layer (layered sine/harmonic waves) SATISFIED ClassFreqConfigs has 11 distinct entries; FreqConfig carries BaseHz, Harmonics, Pan; oscillator renders additive harmonics via Advance()
SYNTH-02 02-01 Drone layer amplitudes evolve over time windows based on traffic volume per class SATISFIED Layer.UpdateTarget(count, maxCount) scales amplitude by normalized rate; EMA smoothing in AdvanceSample(); whisper floor maintains presence; TestEMAAmplitudeRise + TestMultipleWindowsEMAConvergence verify
SYNTH-03 02-02 Multiple drone layers are mixed into a single coherent audio stream without distortion SATISFIED Fixed GainPerLayer (1/11) applied per layer in RenderWindow; constant-power panning; TestMixerNoClip verifies 11 max-amplitude layers produce no frame with |L| or |R| > 1.0
OUT-01 02-03 User can specify output file path via -o flag (defaults to netsynth-<timestamp>.mp3) SATISFIED StringVarP(&outputPath, "output", "o", ...) in main.go; timestamp default netsynth-20060102-150405.mp3; visible in --help
OUT-02 02-03 Output is encoded as a valid MP3 file SATISFIED EncodeMP3 uses go-lame at 44100 Hz, 128 kbps, stereo; TestMP3Valid + TestEncodeMP3DirectBytes use ffprobe to validate MP3 format
OUT-03 02-03 Empty captures (zero packets) produce a clear error instead of a corrupt file SATISFIED totalPackets == 0 check in RunSynthesis before os.Create; returns error "no packets captured: output MP3 not written"; TestZeroPacketError verifies no file on disk

All 6 requirements declared across the three plans are satisfied. No orphaned requirements found — REQUIREMENTS.md maps all 6 IDs to Phase 2, all 6 are covered.


Anti-Patterns Found

File Line Pattern Severity Impact
cmd/netsynth/main.go 99 TODO(phase-3): Pass collectedSnapshots to encode.RunSynthesis(...) Info Expected deferred wiring; plan explicitly defers encode integration to Phase 3. Not a blocker — outputPath and collectedSnapshots are both populated and ready.

No blockers. No stub implementations. No placeholder data. No empty return values in production code paths.

Note on go.mod: github.com/sjzar/go-lame was listed as // indirect prior to verification but encode/mp3.go imports it directly. Running go mod tidy during verification corrected this — the dependency is now properly marked as direct in go.mod. Build and tests were unaffected throughout.


Human Verification Required

None required. All phase-2 behaviors are verifiable programmatically:

  • Audio quality (timbre, harmonic distinctness) will be evaluable in Phase 3 when live traffic synthesis is complete. Phase 2's contract is correct PCM generation and valid MP3 encoding, both of which are verified via ffprobe.
  • The -o flag produces the correct timestamp format; its integration into the live pipeline (Phase 3) is the appropriate point for end-to-end UX testing.

Gaps Summary

No gaps. All must-haves from the three plans are verified at all levels:

  • Level 1 (exists): All 13 artifact files are present
  • Level 2 (substantive): All files contain required functions, patterns, and implementations
  • Level 3 (wired): All key links are connected; the one deferred link (main.go -> encode) is intentional per plan spec
  • Level 4 (data flowing): The full synthesis pipeline WindowSnapshot -> OscillatorBank -> stereo PCM -> MP3 is traced end-to-end; ffprobe validates real output

The phase goal is achieved.
