Structure observations

• Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
• Primary languages: Swift.
• The verified tree contains 4 project/configuration file(s) and 39 source declaration(s).

Reference code

MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab.swift:10 — architecture anchor

@main
struct MusicUnderstandingLab: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

Interpretation

The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into Music Understanding.

Ownership and state

    LoudnessView *-- CGFloat : statsSpacing
    LoudnessView *-- CGFloat : chartSpacing
    LoudnessView *-- Float : loudnessMin

Ownership evidence

MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/Views/LoudnessView.swift:14 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

    private enum Constants {
        static let contentSpacing: CGFloat = 12
        // ...
    }

Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.

Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety

Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.

@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.

Reference code

MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/App/AssetAnalyzer.swift:12 — representative execution boundary

@Observable @MainActor
final class AssetAnalyzer {
    // ...
    let asset: AVURLAsset
    // ...
}

State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies

Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.

receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.

Class and protocol design

MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/Views/LoudnessView.swift:11 — representative type boundary

struct LoudnessView: View {
    // ...
        static let contentSpacing: CGFloat = 12
    // ...
}

No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.

Access control

Reference code

MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/App/AssetAnalyzer.swift:19 — representative boundary

@Observable @MainActor
final class AssetAnalyzer {
    // ...
    private(set) var result: MusicUnderstandingSession.SessionResult?
    // ...
}

Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.

Main application flow

    participant audioTrack
    AssetPlayer->>player: seek()
    AssetPlayer->>AssetPlayer: durationLoad()
    AssetPlayer->>tracksLoad: first()

Reference code

MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/App/AssetPlayer.swift:74 — load()

    func load(_ item: AVPlayerItem, preservePlayback: Bool = false) async {
        let wasPlaying = isPlaying
        let time = player.currentTime()

        replaceItem(item)

        if preservePlayback {
            await player.seek(to: time, toleranceBefore: .zero, toleranceAfter: .zero)
            if wasPlaying { player.play() }
        }

        async let durationLoad = item.asset.load(.duration)
        async let tracksLoad = item.asset.loadTracks(withMediaType: .audio)

        if let assetDuration = try? await durationLoad, assetDuration.isNumeric {
            duration = assetDuration.seconds
        }

        // Load the audio sample rate from the asset's first audio track.
        if let audioTrack = try? await tracksLoad.first,
           let formatDescription = try? await audioTrack.load(.formatDescriptions).first,
           let audioStreamBasicDescription = CMAudioFormatDescriptionGetStreamBasicDescription(formatDescription) {
            sampleRate = CMTimeScale(audioStreamBasicDescription.pointee.mSampleRate)
        }
    }

Naming conventions

• Types: Document: SongAnalysisDocument; Player: AssetPlayer; View: ContentView, InstrumentActivityView, InstrumentRangesView, KeyView, LoudnessView.
• Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
• Methods: statsRow, statItem, stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource.
• Files: MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab.swift, MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/Views/LoudnessView.swift, MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/Views/StructureRoundedBarView.swift, MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/Views/VisualizationView.swift, MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/Views/ContentView.swift, MusicUnderstandingLab/MusicUnderstandingLab/Views/InstrumentActivityView.swift.

Architecture takeaways

• MusicUnderstandingLab is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
• Framework work reaches SwiftUI, MusicUnderstanding, CoreMedia, AVFoundation through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
• Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
• Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
• The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
