+# Phase 1 Plan 01: Core Pipeline Summary
+
+**Single-file hum2inst.py CLI wrapping ACE-Step XL-SFT cover mode with auto duration detection, instrument caption templates, and silence detection**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 2 min
+- **Started:** 2026-04-11T07:10:42Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-04-11T07:12:04Z
+- **Tasks:** 2
+- **Files modified:** 3
+
+## Accomplishments
+- Archived experimental scripts (midi_to_audio.py, musicgen_melody.py) to archive/
+- Created complete hum2inst.py CLI pipeline (273 lines) with argparse, CUDA check, ACE-Step init, cover mode generation, output renaming, silence detection, and error handling
+- Caption templates for 5 common instruments with generic fallback for any instrument name
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Archive experimental scripts** - `262ee6f` (chore)
+2. **Task 2: Create hum2inst.py CLI pipeline script** - `5a23389` (feat)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+- `hum2inst.py` - Complete CLI pipeline: argparse, CUDA check, ACE-Step XL-SFT cover mode, duration detection, caption building, silence detection, error handling
+- `archive/midi_to_audio.py` - Archived experimental MIDI-to-audio script
+- `archive/musicgen_melody.py` - Archived experimental MusicGen melody script
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Used direct Python API import of ACE-Step (not subprocess) for cleaner error handling and access to result objects
+- Set default audio_cover_strength=0.9 (high end of 0.8-1.0 range) to prioritize melody fidelity
+- Used -60 dBFS as silence detection threshold with warning-only behavior for borderline cases
+- Used temp directory for ACE-Step's UUID-named output, then copy to user-friendly filename in output dir
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+None.
+
+## User Setup Required
+
+None - no external service configuration required. Script uses existing ACE-Step installation and venv.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- hum2inst.py is ready for end-to-end testing with actual humming WAV files
+- Foundation is set for Phase 2 (quality presets), Phase 3 (batch processing), and Phase 4 (output polish)
+- All phases 2-4 can import or extend the patterns established here

+## Self-Check: PASSED
