## Code Review Changes Implemented
1. ✅ **`analyze_audio()` Implementation**: Full Phase 1A pipeline
2. ✅ **Config Module Enhanced**: Added preprocessing fields (min_amplitude_db, normalization, center_frequency)
3. ✅ **AnalysisMetadata Enhanced**: Added duration_seconds, sample_rate, processing_time_ms, confidence_warnings
4. ✅ **Benchmarks Expanded**: Comprehensive benchmark suite for all modules
5. ✅ **Test Fixtures**: Generated 4 synthetic audio files for integration testing
6. ✅ **Integration Tests**: 5 tests validating real audio processing
## Known Limitations
1. **Spectral Flux & HFC**: Require pre-computed STFT spectrogram (not computed in these modules)
- **Current**: Only energy flux used in `analyze_audio()` pipeline
- **Future**: STFT module in Phase 1B
2. **HPSS**: Uses fixed 10 iterations (could be made configurable)
3. **Consensus Voting**: Expects onsets in samples (not frame indices) - may need conversion layer
4. **BPM/Key Detection**: Not yet implemented (Phase 1B/1D)
- **Current**: Returns placeholder values
- **Future**: Full implementation in Phase 1B (BPM) and Phase 1D (Key)
## Next Steps (Phase 1B)
- [ ] STFT computation module (for spectral flux, HFC, HPSS)
- [ ] Integration layer to convert frame indices to sample positions
- [ ] Period estimation (BPM detection)
- [ ] Autocorrelation-based BPM estimation
- [ ] Comb filterbank BPM estimation
