+quality_score: 89
+review:
+  strengths:
+  - Syllable band overlays (plotBands) are a high-quality design choice that immediately
+    communicates speech structure to the viewer
+  - Min/max envelope downsampling (1500 windows x 2 samples) correctly handles the
+    88200-sample waveform without aliasing artifacts
+  - 'Complete theme-adaptive chrome: all INK, INK_SOFT, GRID tokens applied throughout
+    — both renders look correct'
+  - Both PNG and HTML artifacts saved correctly; CDP + PIL belt-and-braces ensures
+    exact 3200x1800 output
+  - Acoustically realistic synthetic data (harmonics, hanning envelopes, noise floor,
+    silence gap)
+  weaknesses:
+  - 'Y-axis range is ±0.8 instead of the spec-mandated ±1.0 — fix: set min: -1.0,
+    max: 1.0, tickInterval: 0.5 on y_axis'
+  - LM-02 could be stronger — no use of Highcharts-specific advanced features beyond
+    plotBands/plotLines; consider Highcharts Boost module or navigator for dense waveform
+    data
+  image_description: |-
+    Light render (plot-light.png):
+      Background: Warm off-white #FAF8F1 — correct theme surface
+      Chrome: Title "Speech Waveform · waveform-audio · python · highcharts · anyplot.ai" in bold dark ink, spans ~75% canvas width; subtitle in INK_SOFT (muted dark); axis labels "Time (seconds)" and "Amplitude" in dark INK at 56px; tick labels in INK_SOFT at 44px — all readable
+      Data: Brand green #009E73 area fill with 40% opacity; two syllable bands in rgba(0,158,115,0.09) highlight voiced regions 0.15-0.65s and 0.85-1.55s; zero reference line clearly visible; dense waveform with two syllable peaks and silence gap
+      Legibility verdict: PASS
+
+    Dark render (plot-dark.png):
+      Background: Warm near-black #1A1A17 — correct dark theme surface
+      Chrome: Title and axis labels shift to light cream F0EFE8; tick labels and subtitle shift to B8B7B0; all text clearly readable against dark background; no dark-on-dark failures detected
+      Data: Waveform color identical to light render — brand green #009E73 unchanged; syllable bands slightly more saturated (rgba(0,158,115,0.13)) but tasteful; zero line visible
