# Decision 0003: Real-time thread rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Status:** Accepted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Context
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Audio glitches and unsafe graph changes can undermine the whole application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Decision
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The audio callback performs bounded processing using preallocated resources.
|
||
|
|
It performs no allocation/free, blocking locks, file I/O, logging, GUI calls,
|
||
|
|
plugin loading, or waits. Graphs are prepared outside the callback and active
|
||
|
|
graph resources are retired only after safe reclamation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Consequences
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thread ownership and publication mechanisms must be documented and tested.
|
||
|
|
Any exception to these rules requires explicit evidence and review.
