Claude Code makes a new AudioContext on every tap and my synth glitches. How do I make it refactor properly?

   Tell it the fix, not the symptom: 'one AudioContext, created on the first user gesture, kept in a module-level variable, resume() it if it's suspended'. It knows the pattern, it just doesn't reach for it unless you name it.

   And on iOS the context sometimes starts suspended even after the gesture. Call resume() in the touch handler, not on load.

   That did it. It was also making a new oscillator on every tilt event, which I hadn't noticed. One context, one oscillator, no crackle.
