Research direction

Search the JavaScript files for the TODO comments containing "magic number" and review the referenced values. Read the surrounding code and compare whether each value belongs in the .js file or NormalModesConstants.js. Done means the appropriate values are documented and promoted to constants where warranted.

Description

dev:code-review

Related to #2 (code review):

  • Are there any magic numbers that should be factored out as constants and documented?

There are a couple of TODO comments that contain "magic number", they should be reviewed. It's likely they can just be documented and promoted to constants (either in the .js file or in NormalModesConstants.js).
