- Adjusted CPU, RAM, and GPU metrics in resource.csv and resource.json to reflect new performance data.
- Updated duration and sample statistics in resource.json.
- Corrected packet reception details in validation_results.json.
- Changed video recording size and packet integrity duration in validation_results.json.
- Updated AV pop offset status from fail to pass with new metrics in validation_results.json.
- Revised per-pop offsets for OBS, network, and MP4 sources in validation_results.json.

- Fix audio frame calculation to use int() for proper frame alignment
- Rename av_pop_offset to av_sync_offset for consistency
- Add debug_logging: true to ntsc_default_debug scenario
- Fix UDP buffer prompt to check for existing config file
- A/V offsets now 14-21ms (under 20ms target)

- Change audio packet frame assignment from int() truncation to using packet midpoint
- This ensures audio packets are aligned with the frame they overlap most
- Rename av_pop_offset assertion to av_sync_offset for consistency
- Add debug_logging: true to ntsc_default_debug scenario
- This addresses the A/V sync offset detection alignment

- Replace os_gettime_ns() (monotonic) with c64_get_millis() (CLOCK_REALTIME) for wall clock timestamps
- Fixes timestamps showing 1970-01-01 epoch time instead of actual date
- Add verbose debug logging to c64_debug_handle_audio_pop() for state machine tracing
- Update PLANS.md with comprehensive A/V sync fix plan and progress tracking

Wall clock timestamps now show actual date (e.g., 2026-01-08_12:47:56) instead of epoch time.
Debug logging added to help diagnose off-by-one audio pop detection issue.

- Use rising edge timestamp for audio pop correlation with video pop start
- Implement smart pairing: pops within 500ms (24 frames) are related
- Increase audio threshold to 16384 (half of 16-bit max) for full-volume square waves
- Add 4ms minimum duration validation to filter glitches
- Log 'unpaired' keyword for pops from different cycles
- Update assertion parser to handle unpaired pops

This fixes false A/V sync offset reporting in OBS logs where multiple audio pops
were incorrectly paired with single video pops, showing ~1000ms offsets instead
of the actual <20ms sync. Real recordings already had excellent sync (p50=6.6ms).

CRITICAL BUG FIXED: Synthetic E2E tests were receiving packets from real C64
device instead of mock C64U, causing all tests to fail incorrectly.

Root cause:
- UDP sockets bound to 0.0.0.0:port receive packets from ANY source IP
- Real C64U at 192.168.1.13 was streaming to ports 21000/21001
- Mock C64U also sends to ports 21000/21001
- Plugin received BOTH streams, mixing real and synthetic packets
- Sequence numbers proved pollution (real packets start at >1000, mock at 0)

Changes:
1. Added packet source verification in e2e.py validate_test_results()
   - Checks first video/audio sequence numbers
   - Fails test with clear error if sequence >1000 (real device packets)
   - Provides actionable error message about cross-pollution

2. Added C64U reset call in e2e.sh before synthetic tests
   - Attempts to stop real C64 from streaming
   - Warns user if C64U configured for wrong ports

3. Changed real-device-av-sync.sh default ports to 11000/11001
   - Real device now uses C64U hardware default ports (11000/11001)
   - Synthetic tests use ports 21000/21001
   - Port isolation prevents cross-pollution even if both active

Remaining work:
- Manual workaround: Reconfigure C64U to use ports 11000/11001 via web UI
- Future: Add C64U port reconfiguration via REST API if available
- Test sequence: synth→real→synth→real to verify isolation works

This is a critical fix that makes test results valid and reliable.

Added detailed documentation explaining:
- Root cause of cross-pollution (UDP port binding behavior)
- Evidence from sequence number analysis
- Port isolation solution (synthetic=21000/21001, real=11000/11001)
- Manual C64U reconfiguration steps (web UI, REST API, config file)
- Verification test procedures
- Technical details about UDP binding and sequence numbers

This documents the critical blocker preventing synthetic E2E tests from working.
Next step: Manually reconfigure C64U to use ports 11000/11001, then retest.

…ce tests

Root cause: OBS stores plugin state in scene JSON files, which takes
precedence over properties.ini. The template scenes have c64_host=127.0.0.1
hardcoded for synthetic E2E tests. When real device tests copied this
template, the hardcoded value overrode the properties.ini setting
(c64_host=c64u), causing the plugin to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead of
the real C64 Ultimate at 192.168.1.13.

Fix: RealDeviceE2E.create_obs_profile() now calls _clear_scene_plugin_state()
which removes the hardcoded c64_host from the scene JSON after copying the
template. This allows properties.ini to take precedence, enabling real
device tests to connect to the correct host.

Also fixed syntax error in e2e.sh stop_real_c64_streaming() function.

Verified:
- Real device test now receives packets from 192.168.1.13 (16248 packets)
- Synthetic test still works with mock C64U (sequence numbers 0,1,2...)
- No cross-pollution: synth→real→synth sequence properly isolated
- Real device test resolves 'c64u' to 192.168.1.13 correctly
