## Known Quirks

- **After model unload:** NAM CPU drops to 0% (no model to process). Reload a model to restore.
- **Engine switch (C++ ↔ PyTorch):** May take 5-8 seconds. Model reloads in new engine.
- **Profile changes:** ~6-10s JACK restart pause. NAM CPU should return >0% after restart.
- **Browser cache:** Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R) if UI seems stale after an update.
- **"Peaking/poping every second":** If this returns, increase buffer to 1024. Should be fixed by GC disable + 512 default.
