feat: Implement Audio IO module with Web Audio Modules support

[mickmister]

Implements a comprehensive Audio IO module similar to the existing MIDI IO module with full Web Audio Modules (WAM) support.

Features

• Full WAM registry and management system
• Three example WAMs: synthesizer, delay effect, spectrum analyzer
• Seamless MIDI integration with existing infrastructure
• Cross-platform support (browser/Node.js)
• Comprehensive test suite
• Master volume control and audio context management

Closes #53

Code Review Complete ✅

I've conducted a thorough review of the Audio IO module implementation. Here's my comprehensive feedback:

Tasks

• Analyze the main Audio IO module architecture
• Review Web Audio Modules (WAM) implementation
• Check service layer implementations (browser/Node.js)
• Evaluate example WAMs (synthesizer, delay, spectrum analyzer)
• Review test coverage and quality
• Check for security concerns
• Assess performance considerations
• Provide comprehensive feedback

🎯 Overall Assessment

This is a well-architected and comprehensive implementation that successfully mirrors the existing MIDI IO module pattern. The code demonstrates good separation of concerns, cross-platform support, and follows established patterns in the codebase.

✅ Strengths

Architecture & Design

• Excellent cross-platform abstraction: Clean separation between browser/Node.js implementations with proper fallbacks
• Consistent with existing patterns: Follows the same architectural patterns as the MIDI IO module
• Proper dependency injection: Uses the springboard framework effectively with platform-specific dependency creation
• Well-defined interfaces: Clear TypeScript interfaces for all components

Code Quality

• Strong typing: Comprehensive TypeScript types with proper parameter validation
• Error handling: Good error handling with informative error messages
• Clean audio graph management: Proper Web Audio API usage with correct node connections
• Resource management: Proper cleanup methods in WAM implementations

Test Coverage

• Comprehensive unit tests: Good test coverage for the main module functionality
• Mock services: Well-implemented mock services for testing
• MIDI integration testing: Tests cover the MIDI event conversion and integration

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

Security Concerns

1. Dynamic Import Security (browser_wam_registry_service.ts:55)

   const WAMClass = await import(descriptor.moduleUrl);

   • Risk: Potential code injection if moduleUrl contains malicious code
   • Recommendation: Implement URL validation, allowlist trusted domains, or use a sandboxed execution environment

2. Missing Input Validation (audio_io_module.tsx:188-201)

   • Risk: MIDI event conversion doesn't validate input parameters
   • Recommendation: Add bounds checking for MIDI values (0-127 for velocity/note numbers, 0-15 for channels)

Performance Considerations

1. Audio Context Resume Pattern (browser_audio_service.ts:88-115)

   • Issue: Multiple event listeners added for each suspended context
   • Recommendation: Use a single global handler or remove listeners more efficiently

2. Frequent State Updates (audio_io_module.tsx:131-157)

   • Issue: State updates on every WAM instantiation/destruction
   • Recommendation: Consider debouncing state updates or batching multiple changes

3. Missing Audio Node Disconnection

   • Issue: Example component (audio_io_example.tsx:38-41) connects nodes but doesn't provide disconnection
   • Recommendation: Add methods to properly disconnect audio nodes to prevent memory leaks

Code Quality Issues

1. Hardcoded Values (delay_wam.ts:90)

   maxValue: 0.95, // Prevent runaway feedback

   • Recommendation: Extract magic numbers to named constants

2. Inconsistent Error Handling (browser_wam_registry_service.ts:51-66)

   • Issue: Different error handling patterns for built-in vs external WAMs
   • Recommendation: Standardize error handling and provide more specific error types

3. Missing Cleanup in Example (audio_io_example.tsx)

   • Issue: No cleanup of audio connections when component unmounts
   • Recommendation: Add useEffect cleanup to disconnect audio nodes

Minor Issues

1. Potential Memory Leak (oscillator_synth_wam.ts)

   • Issue: Active oscillators map may not be cleared properly on destroy
   • Recommendation: Ensure all oscillators are stopped and disconnected in destroy method

2. Console Logging in Production Code

   • Issue: Multiple console.log statements that should be conditional
   • Recommendation: Use a proper logging service or make logging conditional

📋 Specific Recommendations

Security Fixes

// In browser_wam_registry_service.ts
private validateModuleUrl(url: string): boolean {
    const allowedDomains = ['trusted-wam-registry.com', 'localhost'];
    try {
        const urlObj = new URL(url);
        return allowedDomains.includes(urlObj.hostname);
    } catch {
        return false;
    }
}

Performance Optimization

// In audio_io_module.tsx - debounce state updates
private debounceStateUpdate = debounce(() => {
    const state = this.audioIOState.getState();
    state.wamInstances = this.audioIODeps.wamRegistry.getAllInstances().map(/* ... */);
    this.audioIOState.setState(state);
}, 100);

Input Validation

// In audio_io_module.tsx
private validateMidiEvent(midiEvent: any): boolean {
    const {number, velocity = 64, channel = 0} = midiEvent;
    return number >= 0 && number <= 127 && 
           velocity >= 0 && velocity <= 127 && 
           channel >= 0 && channel <= 15;
}

🚀 Future Considerations

1. WAM Plugin System: Consider implementing a plugin discovery system for external WAMs
2. Audio Routing Matrix: Add visual audio routing capabilities
3. Preset Management: Implement save/load functionality for WAM configurations
4. Performance Monitoring: Add audio performance metrics (latency, CPU usage)

📊 Test Coverage Assessment

The test suite covers the core functionality well, but could benefit from:

• Integration tests between WAMs and the audio service
• Edge case testing (invalid MIDI data, audio context failures)
• Performance tests for large numbers of WAM instances

🎯 Verdict

This is a solid, production-ready implementation that successfully extends jamtools with comprehensive audio capabilities. The architecture is sound, and the code quality is high. The security and performance recommendations above are important to address before production deployment, but they don't compromise the overall quality of the implementation.

Approval recommendation: ✅ Approve with minor revisions to address the security concerns around dynamic imports.
