Summary

• add backend-agnostic live waveform edit state across ACE-Step and SA3 streaming requests
• preserve source samples outside selected edit regions at the final streamed-audio boundary
• treat an enabled empty region set as an all-preserve mask and immediately restore the source buffer
• validate only explicit extension tails and preserve ordinary backend canvas padding
• retain the hidden StreamDenoise audio-edit node registration and cover left/right extension paths

Correctness details

The request snapshot travels through StreamDenoise and SlotRequest into each backend's mask or inpainting path. Final output is constrained by the intersection of that emerged request snapshot and the current edit selection after runner crossfades. Edit activation is serialized with slice publication so stale unmasked slices cannot overwrite the restored client mirror.

Verification

• Direct StreamDenoise import and node id check
• CPU unit suites: 34 passed across live audio edit, wire contract, and client SDK
• git diff --check

GPU/model-level inference was not available locally; preservation, mask polarity, snapshot propagation, ordinary interior edits, empty masks, and left/right extension behavior are covered at the CPU/session delivery boundary.
