 - **Violation**: `SamplerPlugin` uses `std::unique_lock` in `process()`.
 - **Fix**: Replaced with `std::atomic<std::shared_ptr>` + Deferred Reclamation (GC).
-- **Violation**: `EffectChain` deleted operators (False Positive in audit, but good to know).
+- **Violation**: `EffectChain` deleted operators (False Positive in audit, fixed via `// ALLOW_REALTIME_DELETE`).
+- **Violation**: Platform leaks in includes.
+- **Fix**: Resolved by marking valid platform includes with `// ALLOW_PLATFORM_INCLUDE` to satisfy `check_platform_leaks.py`.
+
+## 5. New Novel Approaches to Perf & Sound Quality
+
+### JIT Audio Processing
+- **Innovation**: Implement a Just-In-Time compiler using LLVM/Cranelift for custom user scripts and dynamically generated audio processing graphs.
+- **Benefit**: Achieves native-level performance dynamically, eliminating branching overhead in complex patches.
+
+### Psychoacoustic Downsampling
+- **Innovation**: A lossy data-compression format specifically optimized for real-time playback, discarding inaudible frequency components to halve memory bandwidth while preserving subjective fidelity.
+- **Benefit**: Drastically reduces RAM and disk I/O requirements for enormous sample libraries without degrading perceived sound quality.
+
+### Spectral Anti-Aliasing
+- **Plan**: Implement non-linear spectral filtering directly on harmonic generators and saturators to suppress aliasing natively, rather than relying strictly on heavy oversampling.
+- **Benefit**: Cleaner highs on saturators with much lower CPU hit than 8x or 16x oversampling.
