Guardian
Input gain, look-ahead limiting with attack and release, variable-curve clipping (soft to hard), DC removal, true-peak protection, bypass, and latched fault recovery.
Guardian is intended for the end of autonomous graphs. An input gain control drives the limiter harder or preserves headroom. The clipper shape parameter sweeps continuously from no clipping through gentle tanh saturation to a near-hard clip. A transfer-curve graph shows the full input-to-output response in real time. Bypass, overload, silence, and fault diagnostics complete the safety picture.
