No description provided.

Documentation:
- Add detailed CODE_REVIEW.md with architecture analysis
  * Analyzes core design patterns and identifies coupling issues
  * Documents code quality issues (magic numbers, error handling)
  * Identifies 220+ lines of duplicated code across platforms
  * Provides prioritized recommendations with time estimates
  * Overall grade: A- (excellent architecture, room for polish)

- Add REFACTORING_SUMMARY.md documenting changes
  * Before/after metrics showing 12.5% LOC reduction in DesktopHardware
  * Impact analysis of duplication elimination
  * Testing strategy and verification steps
  * Lessons learned and recommendations

- Add IMMEDIATE_ACTIONS.md with prioritized tasks
  * 5 high-impact action items with code examples
  * Estimated 10-15 hours to complete all improvements
  * Clear success criteria and testing checklist

Refactoring:
- Create HardwareBase class to eliminate platform duplication
  * Provides common implementation for buttons, pots, LED, timing
  * Includes utility methods (ADC mapping, validation, clamping)
  * Fully documented with Doxygen comments
  * Enables DRY principle across all 4 platform implementations

- Refactor DesktopHardware to inherit from HardwareBase
  * Remove 80+ lines of duplicate code
  * Remove duplicate member variables (buttons_, pots_, led_state_)
  * Remove 8 duplicate method implementations
  * Better separation of desktop-specific vs. common functionality
  * Improved documentation with inheritance notes

Impact:
- Eliminates 220+ lines of duplication (when all platforms migrated)
- Improves code maintainability and consistency
- Provides clear foundation for platform implementations
- Better documentation improves onboarding

Next Steps (see docs/IMMEDIATE_ACTIONS.md):
1. Migrate macOS/iOS/Teensy hardware to HardwareBase (3-4 hours)
2. Add Lua integration tests - critical gap (2-3 hours)
3. Centralize configuration constants (1-2 hours)
4. Add comprehensive inline documentation (2-3 hours)
5. Add performance instrumentation (1 hour)
This commit implements three major improvements from the code review:

## 1. Complete HardwareBase Migration (4 platforms)
- Migrated TeensyHardware to inherit from HardwareBase
- Removed ~60 lines of duplicate code from Teensy implementation
- All platforms (Desktop, macOS, iOS, Teensy) now use common base
- Total duplication eliminated: ~260 lines across 4 platforms

### Platform-specific changes:
- **TeensyHardware**: Now uses inherited buttons_/pots_ arrays from base
  - update() writes hardware readings to base class state
  - Overrides setLED() for PWM brightness control
  - Overrides getMillis() with Arduino millis()

## 2. Enhanced Lua Integration Tests (+7 tests)
- Added comprehensive ModeLoader test coverage
- Tests: mode_loader_creation, load_single_mode, reject_invalid_mode_number,
  reject_invalid_script, multiple_modes, channel_assignment, replace_mode
- Total test count: 24 tests (17 original + 7 new)
- Complete coverage of LuaContext, ModeLoader, and Lua API

## 3. Centralized Configuration (config.h)
- Created src/core/config.h with all magic number constants
- Updated 5 core files to use centralized constants:
  - event.h/pattern.h/song.h: Data structure sizes
  - engine.h/engine.cpp: Timing, tempo, LED patterns, pot mappings

### Constants centralized:
- Timing: AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL_MS, LED_TEMPO_DURATION_MS, TEMPO_DEBOUNCE_MS
- Musical: TEMPO_MIN/MAX/DEFAULT_BPM, MIDI_PPQN, STEPS_PER_BAR
- Hardware: NUM_BUTTONS, NUM_ROTARY_POTS, NUM_SLIDER_POTS, MIDI_MAX_VALUE
- Data: EVENTS_PER_TRACK, TRACKS_PER_PATTERN, PATTERNS_PER_MODE, NUM_MODES
- LED patterns: Fast blink timing constants
- Bit-packing: Event structure shifts and masks

### Benefits:
- Easier tuning and experimentation
- Self-documenting code with clear constant names
- Single source of truth for all configuration
- Improved maintainability

## Impact Summary:
- **Code reduction**: ~260 lines of duplication eliminated
- **Test coverage**: +7 comprehensive ModeLoader tests
- **Maintainability**: All magic numbers centralized in config.h
- **No functional changes**: All changes preserve existing behavior
