- SM26 single-seat manual extraction (Opus general-purpose seat); SM34 (2026-05-26) STRUCTURAL migration capability-v3->v4 (control_style=fader-led + 9 hand-bootstrapped morphology_overrides); SM36 council re-extraction with panel-image SSOT (2026-05-26): CC/Opus + Codex CLI + Gemini browser 3-seat council, panel images at manuals/synths--<id>-panel.jpg (SM35-landed) -- panel-grounded re-extraction.
Manual-grounded. Stressors resolved: (1) TWO filters in series but order is VCF->VCA->HPF, NOT HP-before-LP as the prior assumed; (2) onboard FX engine is real (35 algos, 4 slots) and listed as fact while bypass lives only in rig.json; (3) mod matrix is 8-bus/24-src/132-dest, NOT the prior's 8x4. OSC2 is square-only (no sawtooth), pulse via Tone-Mod (p.62/67); 3 ADSR envelopes (p.89); 2 LFOs, the 'Sample & Glide' shape dropped from the enum (no token). cv_gate flipped true->false (expression/CV-pedal input only). VCF key_tracking true (VCF KYBD fader), drive false (no filter-drive control). SM34 (2026-05-26): STRUCTURAL migration capability-v3->v4 (top-level control_style='fader-led', morphology_overrides[] of length 9). Morphology grounded in real-hardware knowledge + the SM34 brief's per-synth assignment (panel-image backfill at manuals/synths--*-panel.jpg is a separate follow-on node). SM36 (2026-05-26): 3-of-3 council seats (CC/Opus + Codex + Gemini, all panel-grounded) CONFIRMED control_style=fader-led but OVERRULED SM34's 9 hand-bootstrapped morphology_overrides -- the panel image (manual p1) shows ALL OSC/VCF/LFO/ENV controls as vertical illuminated faders, NOT knobs. The 8 knob-overrides (OSC0.pw, OSC1.pw, OSC1.detune, VCF.cutoff, VCF.resonance, VCF.env_amt, LFO.rate, LFO.depth) were panel-contradicted; the 1 slider-override (VCF.key_track=slider) was redundant under fader-led (default already produces slider). Council verdict: morphology_overrides[] reduced from 9 -> 0; fader-led + [] now matches the panel uniformly. provenance.fields.control_style bumped medium -> high.
