9/// The format-facing plugin runtime trait. **Plugin authors do NOT
10/// implement this directly.**
11///
12/// `PluginRuntime` is the surface every format wrapper (CLAP, VST3,
13/// VST2, LV2, AU, AAX) consumes. The `truce::plugin!` macro generates
14/// an `impl PluginRuntime for __HotShellWrapper` from the user's
15/// `truce_plugin::PluginLogic` impl, bridging the user-facing trait
16/// into this GUI-free format-wrapper surface so `truce-core` doesn't
17/// pull in `truce-gui` types.
18///
19/// What plugin authors implement instead:
20///
21/// ```ignore
22/// impl truce::prelude::PluginLogic for MyPlugin {
23///     type Params = MyPluginParams;
24///     fn reset(&mut self, config: &AudioConfig) { /* ... */ }
25///     fn process(&mut self, /* ... */) -> ProcessStatus { /* ... */ }
26///     fn editor(params: Arc<MyPluginParams>) -> Box<dyn Editor> { /* ... */ }
27/// }
28///
29/// truce::plugin! { logic: MyPlugin, params: MyPluginParams }
30/// ```
31///
32/// The macro-emitted `impl PluginRuntime` routes each method directly
33/// to the user's impl.
34pub trait PluginRuntime: Send + 'static {
35    /// The plugin's chosen audio sample precision. Either `f32` (the
36    /// default - matches host wire format for nearly all formats) or
37    /// `f64` (for plugins whose DSP path runs in `f64` end-to-end:
