Corrects README.md, docs/status.md and docs/alpha-checklist.md after an audit of the code against FL Studio 26.1.7 (2026-11-08). Docs only: no code changes.

Rated too high, now partial: step sequencing and patterns (layer settings, Misc tab), piano roll (the "Full tool set" claim), song arrangement (per-clip properties, 4-beat bars, Consolidate). The settings row no longer says every page works: about 14 controls are greyed and 11 are saved but never read.

Described wrongly:

  • The event editor and knob menu entries don't reach stereo separation, slot mix, sends or the main knobs.
  • Export interpolation doesn't reach Lemon Sampler channels.
  • Piano roll MIDI import brings notes and time signatures only.
  • Automation records into the pattern, which is what FL does too, so "not yet into clips" isn't a gap.

Listed as missing but present: JACK, ASIO output pairs, multi-core mixing, a project's serial Patcher slots, Align all channel editors, main pitch control points, FL 10 to 24.1 projects.

New checklist section, "Found by the parity audit": seven unticked bugs. They aren't marked as Alpha blockers; that decision is the owner's.

Checked by reading main, not by running the app. The Consolidate silence comes from the code (Engine::new attaches no hosted plugins), not from a render. JACK is still untried against a running server. The audit itself ran on updater, which is main before #392 plus the updater, so its update-check findings don't apply here and were left out.

README, status and the alpha checklist are checked against an audit of the code
(2026-11-08). Step sequencing, the piano roll and song arrangement are partial, not
done; the event editor, knob menus, settings and export interpolation are described
as they work. JACK, ASIO output pairs, multi-core mixing, Patcher slots and FL 10
projects no longer read as missing. The checklist gets a section for the bugs the
audit found, waiting on a decision about the alpha.
