params.rs

//! Parameter system for audio plugins.
//!
//! This module provides traits and types for declaring and managing plugin parameters
//! in a format-agnostic way. Parameters use normalized values (0.0 to 1.0) for
//! host communication, with conversion to/from plain values handled by the plugin.
//!
//! # Thread Safety
//!
//! The [`Parameters`] trait requires `Send + Sync` because parameters may be
//! accessed from multiple threads:
//! - Audio thread: reads parameter values during processing
//! - UI thread: displays and modifies parameter values
//! - Host thread: automation playback and recording
//!
//! Use atomic types (e.g., `AtomicU64` with `to_bits`/`from_bits`) for lock-free access.
