 | D8 | How output works | **A method's return value is output from the object's outlets, by its type; its return *hint* fixes how many outlets, at bind time.** No injected outlet API in 2.0 (nothing for the class to import, so it still runs in a notebook): `None` outputs nothing; a number or a string one atom; a sequence a list; a method hinted `-> tuple[A, B]` outputs one value per outlet, right to left. The object has as many outlets as the widest return hint among its methods (at least one), plus a dumpout outlet at the right, as Max objects with attributes do; a save that changes the count changes the outlets in place. The rules are in [Output](#output-what-a-method-returns). |
 | D9 | Inlets | **One inlet in the first release.** Messages are the methods; state is the attributes (`steps 8`, `@pulses 3`, attrui), which is what a right inlet is for in most Max objects. More inlets are a later option (how, in [Later](#later-not-planned)), not a 1.x promise. |
 | D10 | Threads | **A message runs on the thread it arrives on, holding the GIL while Python runs, and outputs on that thread after the GIL is released.** That is Max's main thread, the scheduler thread under Overdrive — or, with Scheduler in Audio Interrupt on, the audio thread itself, which the object says once per session and the ReadMe states as a limit. As every ordinary Max object does, and as `tap.python~`'s messages already do. No worker. The limits, in [Threads](#threads-and-the-gil). |
-| D11 | Code layout | **One binary registers both Max classes; the second is a plain SDK class, not a min class; the core gains one option.** *Why one binary (decided 2026-10-09, audit B1):* the core is header-only and keeps its process-wide state in function-local statics, so two externals would each start the interpreter — the second `PyImport_AppendInittab()` after `Py_Initialize()` aborts Max (reproduced with two shared objects in one process) — and, as 1.0.1's Windows failure showed, a function's address is not its identity across a DLL boundary. *Why a plain SDK class:* min keeps one file-scope `this_class` per translation unit and returns early from a second `wrap_as_max_external()` (`c74_min_api.h:325`, `c74_min_object_wrapper.h:780`); a second min class in a second translation unit would work by accident of internal linkage and violate the one-definition rule the moment a test instantiated its templates elsewhere. A plain class (`class_new`/`class_addmethod`/`class_register` in the same `ext_main`, after min's) is what the shared glue already speaks — `object_addattr`, `object_addmethod`, the nobox file watcher — and what the outlets need (M1). Max finds the object through the package's `init/` mapping (`objectfile`), with a stub external as the fallback; the 9.0 spike found the mapping works (on the Mac; Windows still to run). The core's `processor` takes `bind_audio` (true for `tap.python~`): with it off, `process` and `prepare` are plain methods and nothing is prepared. The shared glue moves into templates on the host object (`python_glue<Host>`) so both classes use one copy. |
