feat(overview): choose waveform or whole-file spectrogram for the overview strip - #109
The spectrogram overview pools the coarsest pyramid level (or the in-memory
spectrogram) to one column per pixel, keeping each band's maximum so short
calls stay visible. Option overviewMode, player.setOverviewMode(), and a
Display setting in the labeling app.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Choose a waveform or spectrogram overview; spectrogram mode shows a max-pooled view of the full recording.
Record from a microphone with a live spectrogram, a 300-second default limit, and controls to stop or cancel. Completed recordings can be loaded into the player.
View detected recording start times from supported audio metadata or filenames. Raven selection table exports can include corresponding clock times.
Documentation
Added guidance on microphone recording, recording-time details, and overview display options.

Summary
Overview pooling and image generation src/domain/spectrogram.ts, tests/overview-spectrogram.test.mjs
New functions pool spectrogram frames by their per-bin maximum and build colorized overview images. Tests cover pooling behavior.
The controller provides overview images from in-memory spectrogram data or the tile manager. The tile manager selects and caches a pyramid level for the image.
The player supports waveform and spectrogram overview modes, schedules spectrogram redraws, and renders asynchronous overview images. The labeling app saves the selected mode. The documentation describes the option.
The audio engine derives recording start times from WAV metadata or filenames. The player exposes and displays the value. Tests cover parsing and formatting for supported sources.
Raven selection tables add clock-time columns when a recording start is provided. Labeling-app exports pass available recording start times.
Microphone capture and live view src/infrastructure/audio/LiveRecorder.ts, src/app/BirdNETPlayer.ts, src/ui/components/live-view/live-spectrogram-view.ts, src/styles/components/_views.scss, tests/live-recorder.test.mjs
The recorder captures microphone audio and encodes it as a WAV file. The player manages recording lifecycle events and the live spectrogram view. Tests cover WAV encoding, filenames, and pending-start cancellation.
Labeling-app recording controls and guidance demo/labeling-app.html, src/styles/components/_project-location.scss, docs/usage/integration.md, CHANGELOG.md
The labeling app adds recording controls and loads completed recordings. The integration guide describes recording events, options, and recording-start accessors.
The overview can show stale colors after display-only changes, and an old spectrogram buffer can stay in memory after switching to waveform mode. Both are minor and bounded. Merging is reasonable once the stale-overview fix is applied or accepted.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 7eb89
An integration that starts the same recorder twice before startup completes can leave the microphone active after Stop or Cancel. The built-in recording controls prevent that overlap, and browser microphone permission is still required.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: The newly exported LiveRecorder permits overlapping start calls while microphone permission or setup is pending. Both calls can pass the initial guard, and a later start can overwrite the stream and AudioContext fields without releasing the earlier resources. Stop and Cancel then release only the last stored resources, potentially leaving an earlier microphone stream active after the recorder reports stopped. The built-in player prevents overlapping starts, so the identified exposure is limited to direct consumers of the exported recorder.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified ownership failure affects microphone resources in a browser session after the page has microphone permission. It requires overlapping direct calls to the exported recorder; the inspected labeling application uses the guarded player facade instead. The source does not establish a permission bypass or cross-tenant attack path.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — Two starts can enter before startedAt is assigned and obtain separate permitted streams. If both complete successfully, the second replaces the first session's cleanup references. Stop or Cancel sets the stopped state and releases the current references, but cannot stop an earlier stream whose reference was overwritten. This violates the recording lifecycle's microphone-release guarantee.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Microphone acquisition uses the browser's getUserMedia control. For a single startup, cancellation is checked after permission and asynchronous setup; late-granted streams are stopped, and setup errors release owned resources. BirdNETPlayer additionally reserves its recorder synchronously before awaiting startup.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Normal termination is centralized: sample limits and track-ended events call Stop, repeated stops reuse one result promise, and capture callbacks discard samples after stopping. Cleanup stops stored tracks and closes the stored context; player destruction also cancels recording and detaches the live view. These controls contain ordinary termination but depend on exclusive ownership of those stored resources.

Schedule the overview redraw in the stage-1 rebuild callback.
In spectrogram overview mode, the colour-scheme, noise-reduction, and CLAHE handlers call onStage1Rebuild. That callback rebuilds the main spectrogram and draws it, but it does not schedule the overview redraw. The overview can therefore keep its previous rendering until another needsredraw event occurs, such as a scroll or zoom. Calling the existing scheduler from this callback fixes that path. The scheduler returns early in waveform mode and coalesces with any pending overview timer.

Review comments at @demo/labeling-app.html:
- Line 4465: Initialize recordingStart when loadLocalAudioFile creates the local
recording entry, using the known player recording start time, rather than
relying on the ready-event update guarded by recordingManager.activeId. Preserve
the existing recordingManager.update behavior for entries that are already
active.
- Line 4465: Update the recording-loading flow that calls
recordingManager.update so blob-URL reactivation preserves the saved filename
needed to recover a filename-only start time. Do not overwrite an existing
recordingStart with null when the lookup fails; retain the known start while
continuing to update the sample rate.
Review comments at @docs/usage/integration.md:
- Line 36: Update the guide’s recording-start explanation to distinguish the
exports: `player.recordingStart` supplies clock time to the labeling app’s Raven
selection-table export, while `player.exportAnnotationsRaven()` writes only
start, end, species, and confidence and has no clock columns.
Review comments at @src/domain/spectrogram.ts:
- Line 1232: Update the pooling logic near poolFramesMax so phase data uses
representative-frame sampling, consistent with the GPU renderers’
nearest-sampling behavior; retain max pooling for amplitude values.
Review comments at @src/infrastructure/audio/AudioEngine.ts:
- Line 265: In the WAV URL load flow, read the recording start from the original
buffer before calling decodeArrayBuffer, which may detach it. Store the result
locally, then assign it to recordingStart only after decoding succeeds; preserve
metadata-derived timing rather than allowing the filename fallback to override
it.
- Line 236: In AudioEngine’s loadFromArrayBuffer and loadFromFile methods, keep
reading the recording start before decoding, but hold it in a local value and
assign recordingStart only after decodeArrayBuffer succeeds and audioBuffer is
updated. This keeps the clock metadata aligned with the currently loaded audio
when decoding fails.
Review comments at @src/infrastructure/audio/LiveRecorder.ts:
- Line 130: Update the startup flow in LiveRecorder.start() to check whether
cancellation occurred after each awaited startup step, including getUserMedia.
If a microphone stream arrives after cancelRecording(), stopRecording(), or
destroy() has cancelled startup, release the stream and reject the stale start
before creating the audio graph or attaching the player view; preserve normal
startup when no cancellation occurred.
- Line 189: Update the limit check in the LiveRecorder recording flow to use the
same rounded integer sample limit for capacity and completion, and stop when no
capacity remains. Preserve the existing `stop('limit')` behavior when the limit
is reached.
Review comments at @src/ui/components/live-view/live-spectrogram-view.ts:
- Line 116: Rebase drawnPx when the canvas width changes so frame() does not
compare the new-width target against a position accumulated at the old scale.
Update the resize handling around c.width to preserve the correct drawing
position after resizing, or derive movement from elapsed-time differences while
keeping existing drawing behavior.
Review comments at @src/ui/components/waveform/waveform.ts:
- Line 330: Update the animation-frame callback in the installThemeObserver flow
to compare the live overviewCanvas _aw_lastRender state with the state captured
before scheduling; skip renderOverviewWaveform when they differ, and preserve
the existing redraw behavior when they match.

- AudioEngine: read the start time before decoding (decodeAudioData detaches

Release the overview cache when the source changes.
After a spectrogram overview is built, _overviewCache.data retains the full source array. If the user switches to waveform mode and loads another file, setAudio() clears _data but leaves this reference intact. The previous spectrogram can remain in memory indefinitely because waveform mode does not rebuild this cache.
Clear _overviewCache in setAudio() and destroy().
