Phase 8 Plan 1: Constant Cleanup and Future-Proof Tests Summary

Removed stale exported constants and hardcoded test bounds from the synth package so v1.2 phases can add new traffic classes and frequencies without triggering false CI failures.

Tasks Completed

Task	Name	Commit	Files
1	Delete stale NumLayers and GainPerLayer constants	fd17061	synth/config.go
2	Update synth/config_test.go — future-proof frequency bounds, rename test, remove duplicate	4800e8e	synth/config_test.go

What Was Done

Task 1 deleted NumLayers = 14 and GainPerLayer = 1.0 / float64(NumLayers) from synth/config.go. These constants were dead code since NewBank computes gainPerLayer dynamically as 1.0 / float64(len(cfgs)). The constant block now contains only SampleRate, WindowMs, SamplesPerWindow, and WhisperFloor.

Task 2 made three improvements to synth/config_test.go:

1. TestFrequenciesInRange now validates each BaseHz is in (0, 22050) using float64(synth.SampleRate) / 2.0 as the Nyquist bound — no hardcoded upper limit that would reject new protocol classes above 1100 Hz.
2. TestNumLayersMatchesAllClasses renamed to TestClassFreqConfigsMatchAllClasses — name now accurately describes what it tests.
3. TestClassFreqConfigsComplete deleted — it was a semantic duplicate of TestAllClassesHaveConfig (both iterate AllClasses() and check for a map entry). Three clean, non-overlapping tests remain.

Verification Results

All six plan verification checks passed:

• Zero NumLayers/GainPerLayer references in synth/*.go
• Zero hardcoded 1100 bounds in synth/config_test.go
• go test ./... — all 7 packages green
• TestFrequenciesInRange passes
• TestClassFreqConfigsMatchAllClasses passes
• TestClassFreqConfigsComplete no longer exists (correctly)

Deviations from Plan

None — plan executed exactly as written.

Known Stubs

None.

Self-Check: PASSED

• synth/config.go exists and contains WhisperFloor, no NumLayers/GainPerLayer
• synth/config_test.go exists with nyquist validation, TestClassFreqConfigsMatchAllClasses, no TestClassFreqConfigsComplete
• Commits fd17061 and 4800e8e exist
• Full test suite green
