Coding Style

Guidelines to keep the codebase consistent.

General

• Prefer small, testable functions.
• Keep UI logic (widget state) separate from backend orchestration.
• Avoid heavy imports at module import time (especially for plugins).

Types & errors

• Use type hints on public functions/classes.
• Raise clear exceptions in the backend; surface them in the UI with traceback.

Audio processing

• Document sample rate assumptions.
• Keep DSP functions pure (no hidden global state).
• Ensure multi-channel behavior is explicit.
