 - **2026-10-12:** `soundcraft-cli convert` rejects an unparsable or zero `--rate` and an unknown `--bit-depth` (exit 1, nothing written) instead of converting with a default (#256)
 - **2026-10-12:** Timecode labels with huge fields no longer overflow: frame counts are computed in 128 bits and clamp, so `setup.current_timecode` and `session.format_time` saturate instead of failing (#248)
 - **2026-10-12:** `session.format_time` with the smallest bar number no longer fails with an internal error: the bar offset saturates (#249)
+- **2026-10-12 (plugin editors on Windows):** VST3 editors and embedded CLAP editors open in a SoundCraft host window on Windows (owned by the app window, resized on request, closed from its title bar); verified with a JUCE VST3 compressor and a CLAP effect. No readiness percentage change.
+- **2026-10-12 (Mix in a separate window):** Window › Mix in Separate Window shows the Mix window in its own native window, so Edit and Mix can be on screen at once (e.g. one per monitor), as in Pro Tools. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-12 (audio device settings):** Setup › Playback Engine chooses the audio system, output and input device, sample rate and buffer size, kept per machine with the preferences; 16/32-bit integer devices are converted; ASIO is available behind the opt-in `asio` build feature (verified with an SSL 2+ at 128 samples). Channel routing, one duplex clock and latency compensation remain (G-01). No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-10 (UI docking):** Tracks and Groups, Clips, MIDI Editor, Memory Locations, and Undo History use movable panels. Edit and Mix retain separate arrangements; Clips and MIDI Editor belong to Edit. Transport, plug-in, and specialist utility windows retain their existing hosts. Panel moves and reset are available as UI commands, and saved UI preferences retain arrangements. Common toolbar and track record-enable buttons share interaction, accessible labels and keyboard focus through `craft-ui`, retaining blue tool selection and red record-arm states. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-10** — Stage re-normalized to **pre-alpha** by the core-workflow gate (interface recording, MIDI recording and session interchange fail). Full re-measure against Pro Tools Ultimate 2026.4.1 and the standard
