- Add PartialUpdate dataclass and supports_partial_updates to EffectPlugin
- Add dirty region tracking to Canvas (mark_dirty, get_dirty_rows, etc.)
- Canvas auto-marks dirty on put_region, put_text, fill
- CanvasStage exposes dirty rows via pipeline context
- EffectChain creates PartialUpdate and calls process_partial() for optimized effects
- HudEffect implements process_partial() to skip processing when rows 0-2 not dirty
- This enables effects to skip work when canvas regions haven't changed
- Add PipelineIntrospectionSource that renders live ASCII DAG with metrics
- Add PipelineMetricsSensor exposing pipeline performance as sensor values
- Add PipelineIntrospectionDemo controller with 3-phase animation:
- Phase 1: Toggle effects one at a time (3s each)
- Phase 2: LFO drives intensity default→max→min→default
- Phase 3: All effects with shared LFO (infinite loop)
- Add pipeline-inspect preset
- Add get_frame_times() to Pipeline for sparkline data
- Add tests for new components
- Update mise.toml with pipeline-inspect preset task
- Remove ~700 lines of legacy code from app.py (run_demo_mode, run_pipeline_demo,
run_preset_mode, font picker, effects picker)
- HUD now reads metrics from pipeline context (first-class citizen) with fallback
to global monitor for backwards compatibility
- Add validate_signal_flow() for PureData-style type validation in presets
- Update MicSensor documentation (self-contained, doesn't use MicMonitor)
- Delete test_app.py (was testing removed legacy code)
- Update AGENTS.md with pipeline architecture documentation
- Add DataType enum (SOURCE_ITEMS, TEXT_BUFFER, etc.)
- Add inlet_types and outlet_types to Stage
- Add _validate_types() for type checking at build time
- Update tests with proper type annotations
- Convert presets from YAML to TOML format (no external dep)
- Add DEFAULT_PRESET fallback for graceful degradation
- Add validate_preset() for preset validation
- Add validate_signal_path() for circular dependency detection
- Add generate_preset_toml() for skeleton generation
- Use tomllib (Python 3.11+ stdlib)
- Add TransformDataSource for filtering/mapping source items
- Add MetricsDataSource for rendering live pipeline metrics as ASCII art
- Fix display stage registration in StageRegistry
- Register sources with both class name and simple name aliases
- Fix DisplayStage.init() to pass reuse parameter
- Simplify create_default_pipeline to use DataSourceStage wrapper
- Set pygame as default display
- Remove old pipeline tasks from mise.toml
- Add tests for new pipeline architecture
