Pcm triangular dither: continuation noise · case 01

Packet continuation resets the dither delay.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Packet continuation resets the dither delay.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use the stated conversion contract at continuation noise.

Unsuccessful approach: Using the shaped output as delay duplicates filtering on the next packet.

Case contract

Construct a bounded deterministic highpass triangular PCM dither sequence from paired supplied draws; return raw-noise delay for packet continuation.

Why this case matters

Offline PCM interchange uses these exact bounded packet and sample representation decisions.

Verification & scope

Stipulated finite model; no claim of hardware timing or full file-format conformance. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
