  "summary": "Introduce true runtime broadcast-style metering for the FM stereo/RDS multiplex chain by measuring multiple semantically distinct DSP stages and exposing them through a dedicated measurements endpoint for Overview, Flow, and diagnostics UI surfaces.",
  "problemStatement": {
    "currentState": [
      "The current UI mostly exposes configured MPX-related values such as pilotLevel, rdsInjection, mpxGain, BS.412 state, and composite clipper state.",
      "These values describe intended configuration but not the actual measured runtime behavior of the multiplex chain.",
      "The current Flow Composite / MPX node is therefore closer to a config summary than to a true live broadcast metering surface.",
      "Runtime telemetry currently focuses on transport and engine health such as queue health, underruns, runtime states, and fault transitions, but not on actual composite/MPX signal composition."
    ],
    "operationalGap": [
      "Operators cannot currently see how audio processing, stereo encoding, composite clipping, BS.412, pilot injection, and RDS injection interact on the live signal.",
      "Without live stage-aware metering, it is difficult to identify whether signal behavior is caused by audio processing, compliance shaping, or final composite assembly.",
      "A single config snapshot is not enough to answer whether the transmitted multiplex is nominal, compliance-limited, overdriven, missing pilot, or missing RDS."
    ]
  },
  "objective": {
    "primary": "Turn the Composite / MPX area of fm-rds-tx into a true runtime metering surface that reflects measured DSP behavior rather than only saved configuration values.",
    "secondary": [
      "Give operators a trustworthy view of what the DSP chain is actually producing at critical stages.",
      "Separate audio-path behavior, BS.412 compliance behavior, and final composite/on-air behavior into distinct measured views.",
      "Support a richer Overview and Flow UI without increasing full-runtime polling cost.",
      "Create a stable foundation for future alerts, engineering diagnostics, and signal-quality workflows."

  "whatWeAreTryingToAchieve": [
    {
      "goal": "Show real measured multiplex behavior",

      "goal": "Explain stage interactions",
      "description": "Make visible how processing, stereo encoding, composite clipping, BS.412, pilot injection, and RDS injection each affect the final multiplex."

    {
      "goal": "Separate compliance and on-air views",
      "description": "Provide distinct views before BS.412, after BS.412, and at the final composite point directly before FM modulation."

    "Use chunk-level aggregation, not per-sample external reporting.",
    "Keep measurement logic low-overhead and safe for the hot path.",
    "Prefer semantically conservative field names over catchy but ambiguous meter labels."

  "whyMultipleTaps": [
    "A single final composite reading cannot explain whether a change came from L/R processing, composite clipping, BS.412 gain reduction, or fixed pilot/RDS injection.",
    "BS.412 acts on the audio MPX budget, not on pilot/RDS directly, so pre-BS.412 and post-BS.412 views are semantically different.",
    "Pilot and RDS become meaningful only in the final composite stage, so they require final pre-IQ measurement.",
    "Operator-facing UI needs both an audio/compliance view and a final on-air-adjacent composite view."
  ],
  "semanticAdjustmentsFromReview": [
    "The L/R tap must account for optional watermark insertion between first-pass audio processing and stereo encoding.",
    "Pilot and RDS percent-style fields must not conflate RMS measurements with injection-equivalent display values.",
    "Composite threshold counters must avoid overmodulation-suggestive names unless their semantics are explicitly regulatory, which they are not.",
    "Composite clipper-related metrics should avoid claiming hard clip event semantics where the implementation is actually shaping/protection-oriented.",
    "BS.412 gain must be described as a chunk-level running control state, not a sample-exact causal response.",
    "Final-composite interpretation should expose feature flags such as watermark, RDS2, and license injection activity.",
    "stereoMode should be exposed alongside stereoEnabled so non-DSB operation remains interpretable in diagnostics and UI.",
    "licenseInjectionActive must mean chunk-local actual activity, not merely that the feature exists.",
