LOFO: the instrument zone library is MP3 now — 98.65 MB to 7.08 MB

13.94x, measured, across all 108 samplers and 614 zones, at mono 22.05 kHz 48 kbps. Not a fidelity trade in disguise: instrument zones carry 0.254% mean energy above 11 kHz, so 48k/22.05k measures a HIGHER SNR (24.7 dB) than 64k/44.1k while being 25% smaller.

• HOSTING.md said this was impossible, because loop points are absolute sample indices and 552 of the 614 zones loop.

• len — the decoded sample count, so a padded buffer can be spotted at all. sr — the zone FILE's rate.

• Two ordering bugs in the tool, found by review: it deleted each sampler's WAVs as that sampler finished but spliced the metadata once at the very end, so an interrupt left media gone with nothing describing…

• : the rename lives inside genre-kernel.js, which rides stale-while-revalidate, so without a bump a returning listener's first load after deploy would serve the WAV-era kernel and 404 every zone.
