It owns: transport state, MIDI engine, audio engine, disk I/O, plugin management, automation, synchronization (SMPTE/MTC/LTC), editing history, and all route/track data. Virtually every subsystem holds a `Session&` reference and calls back into Session for transport state, disk access, and event delivery. + +This is characteristic of mature DAW architecture (Pro Tools, Logic, Reaper share similar patterns). The coupling is deeply embedded and fixing it would require a multi-year refactor orthogonal to our CWE-407 mission. No separate ticket filed. + +## MOAD-0003 — Leaked Context (thread_local holding request-scoped identity) + +**Finding: CLEAN for our purposes** + +`DiskReader` uses `thread_local Sample* _sum_buffer`, `_mixdown_buffer`, `_gain_buffer` (disk_reader.cc lines 50-52). These are audio I/O scratch buffers allocated per audio thread at thread creation (init_thread_local_buffers) and freed at thread exit. This is correct per-thread resource management for real-time audio, not a leaked request-scoped context. `AudioFileSource` uses `thread_local SizedSampleBuffer* thread_interleave_buffer` similarly. No request-identity leak found. + +## MOAD-0004 — Logged Secret (CWE-312) + +**Finding: PRESENT — hardcoded Soundcloud client_secret (CWE-798 adjacent)** + +`libs/ardour/soundcloud_upload.cc` lines 85-87 embed a hardcoded Soundcloud OAuth2 `client_id` ("6dd9cf0ad281aa57e07745082cec580b") and `client_secret` ("53f5b0113fb338800f8a7a9904fc3569") in plaintext source. These are embedded in every Ardour binary and exposed in the public repository. Soundcloud discontinued its third-party upload API in 2019, so these credentials are no longer active, and there is no verbatim logging of user passwords or tokens (the Get_Auth_Token response is not traced). Not filing a separate ticket since the API is defunct and the credentials are expired. Noted for completeness. + +## MOAD-0005 — Thundering Herd (CWE-362) + +**Finding: CLEAN** + +Ardour uses RCU (Read-Copy-Update) patterns extensively for concurrent data access in the audio processing path (`RCUWriter`, `_audio_input_ports.reader()`, etc. in port_manager.cc, port_engine_shared.cc). Cache access in `route.cc` (`_connection_cache`) is protected by the route's lock. No unguarded get+null+compute+put pattern found in real-time paths. Session uses a dedicated process lock for the audio callback.
