Zero-Trust Ready
Files never leave the tab. WAV binaries live inside WebAssembly memory and are disposed of immediately after producing a ALAC output.
Format-Aware Presets
We tune FFmpeg flags so WAV characteristics (color depth, metadata) persist when writing ALAC deliverables.
Ops-Level Observability
Each run exposes duration, file size deltas, and CPU hints so production teams can benchmark WAV → ALAC workflows.
