What this changes for you

Glue Compressor no longer breaks the compressor wrapper (#102). The compressor type matched any device whose label contained "compressor", so Glue was detected as compressor. Every effect compressor / master effect compressor call then failed with Missing required standard effect keys for compressor: makeup. Glue has no Makeup parameter, and its Threshold, Ratio and Attack use raw dB and stepped values, so the compressor keys would have the wrong meaning even if they resolved. Glue is now excluded from detection, even when it is renamed (its class_name is GlueCompressor). effect find skips it, and the wrappers report "not a supported effect". Edit Glue with device parameter set-display / select instead. The README says so.

doctor catches a stale Remote Script (#103). A new remote_script_version check compares the version the running Remote Script reports in ping with the CLI version. tests/test_version.py already requires the bundled REMOTE_SCRIPT_VERSION to match that version. If they differ, the check fails with: "Run 'ableton-cli install-remote-script --yes' and restart Ableton Live." Before this, doctor passed and then every ref-based command failed with confusing errors. When the endpoint is unreachable, the check is skipped with a WARN, like the other remote checks. Release automation bumps both versions together, so a script left over from an earlier release is now caught.

#101 (Drift LP Reso → LP Res) was already fixed in #131 and is covered by tests/test_standard_parameter_specs_live12.py. This PR only closes the issue.

Left out of #103 on purpose:

• No hint is mapped onto the track must be an integer error that pre-Resolve architecture review findings: protocol fixes, remote config/auth, spec-driven note model, Live 11+ extended note API #88 scripts return. That would be a compatibility shim for an old script; the doctor check now points at the real cause.
• There is no automatic guard that fails when the wire shape changes without a version bump. The version check relies on the release version bump.

Closes #101, closes #102, closes #103.

Public contract impact

This is an intentional change, with no change to the snapshot. doctor output gains one check, remote_script_version, with cli_version and remote_script_version in its details. A Glue Compressor is no longer reported with detected_type: "compressor". The command surface, envelopes, exit codes and protocol are unchanged.

Update after merging main

Main added a plugins doctor check and a plugin_health argument to run_doctor (#134). The remote_script_version check sits alongside it: the conflict in doctor.py kept both, and this PR's doctor test helper now passes plugin_health. Nothing in this PR touches code that moved into plugins.

After the merge: full pytest 1527 passed, dev_checks / ruff check / ruff format --check pass, the quality harness reports 0 failures (409 warnings), and generate_skill_docs.py produces no diff.

Verification (original)

• TDD: the new tests in tests/test_effect_detection.py and tests/test_doctor.py failed first (5 failures), then passed.
• run_doctor went over the quality harness estimated_tokens limit, so I moved the ping-based checks into _remote_checks / _remote_script_version_check.
• dev_checks, ruff check and ruff format --check pass. Full pytest: 1459 passed. The quality harness exits 0 with 0 failures; warnings went from 416 to 418 because of the new helper functions. generate_skill_docs.py produces no diff.
• Not checked against a running Ableton Live. A manual check would be: load a Glue Compressor and run effect find, then run doctor against an older installed script.

Checked in Live 12 Suite

This is a local, unpushed merge of this branch with #133. I installed its Remote Script with install-remote-script --yes and started Live fresh.

doctor remote_script_version check

• I edited the installed copy's REMOTE_SCRIPT_VERSION to 0.4.9, since every saved backup is also 0.5.0. Doctor then fails remote_script_version with cli_version: 0.5.0, remote_script_version: 0.4.9 and the "Run 'ableton-cli install-remote-script --yes' and restart Ableton Live." hint.
• I restored the version to 0.5.0 and restarted Live. The check passes.

Glue Compressor (track 3-Audio: Glue Compressor at device 0, Compressor at device 1)

• effect find --track 2 lists only the Compressor (class_name: Compressor2, detected_type: compressor). Glue is skipped.
• On Glue, effect compressor set --parameter-key ratio and observe both fail with INVALID_ARGUMENT: "Device is not a supported effect".
• On the Compressor, effect compressor set 0.5 --parameter-key ratio works: 0.75 → 0.5.
• The README's workaround works: device parameter set-display --parameter-name Threshold -- -20 on Glue reads back -20.

Not checked: the renamed-Glue case. The CLI has no device rename, so it is covered only by the unit test on class_name.
