Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 26b4b

The new Morse feature currently produces incorrect timing, waveform playback, and speed estimates, drops some lowercase accented characters, displays corrupted instructional text, and includes a failing unit-test expectation. These user-visible correctness problems mean the PR is not merge-ready until the affected logic and test are fixed.

Morse code was used extensively in military cryptography. Theಛtwas&apos;s famous
&quot;Q简&quot; (Q codes) and prosigns are still used today. The encoding itself is not
encryption — it&apos;s a character encoding, but it can serve as a simple cipher when
combined with frequency analysis techniques.

Normalize lowercase accented characters.

encodeMorse("café") leaves é unchanged in stripAccents, then converts it to unsupported É and skips it. The result encodes CAF instead of CAFE.

Use a case-aware mapping or Unicode accent normalization before the Morse lookup.

Count each intra-character gap once.

Line 202 adds the intra-character gap to totalUnits. Lines 210-212 add the same gap again through elements. This inflates units and duration for every character with multiple symbols.

Remove the increment at Line 202.

Use the standard seven-unit word gap at every timing surface.

encodeMorse("E E") reports six units. generateWaveform("E E") reports 15 units. The correct transmission duration is nine units: one dot, one seven-unit word gap, and one dot.

  • lib/encoding/morseCode.ts#L214-L222: add WORD_GAP for a space because the preceding character does not add an inter-character gap.
  • lib/encoding/morseCode.ts#L301-L335: add an inter-character gap only before a following non-space character. Do not add one before a word gap or after the final character.

Use the WPM dot duration for result estimates and playback.

At 20 WPM, one dot is 60 ms. The current formulas use 20 ms per unit, so result estimates and waveform playback run three times too fast. This also conflicts with farnsworthTiming(20).

  • lib/encoding/morseCode.ts#L237-L237: calculate the estimate as totalUnits * farnsworthTiming(20).dotMs.
  • lib/encoding/morseCode.ts#L284-L284: use the same conversion after calculating decoded timing units.
  • components/encoding/MorseCodeVisualizer.tsx#L369-L375: calculate totalMs from waveform.totalDuration * farnsworthTiming(wpm).dotMs.

Calculate decoded duration from Morse timing.

decoded.length * 5 does not represent the input signal duration. For example, ... --- ... has 27 timing units without terminal silence, but this code reports 15. calculateWPM therefore returns an incorrect speed.

Derive units from each dot, dash, and separator in the supplied Morse input.

Fix the word-separator expectation.

The input decodes to HE LLO, not HELLO, because / is a word separator. This assertion fails when the test runs.

-    expect(result.decoded).toBe("HELLO");
+    expect(result.decoded).toBe("HE LLO");
