--all names files slide-01.png onward, so --slide 8 on an 8-slide deck looked like an off-by-one. The index stays 0-based, matching slide.go, and the error now gives the range and the file names.

animation.remove's remark belongs to its `ids` option, so describe shows
it there instead of as a note on the whole command. A command with an
all-optional set of parameters is suggested as a bare id.

A --cmd without a value now asks for COMMAND[=PARAMS]. The params field
says how describe reads it, table.split's row and col are optional as
the command reads them, and the MCP instructions name only shape
commands for `ids`.

Same fix as storytold/gridcraft#117 (storytold/gridcraft#316): eframe drops
the window while AppKit's run loop still runs, AccessKit restores the
content view's class and AppKit's Touch Bar KVO observer throws on the
next display cycle. on_exit now ends the process on macOS once the
preferences are saved.
`deckcraft-cli help` and each subcommand's `--help` say what it does,
with a working example; `--help` never runs the subcommand. `describe`
spells out a command's parameters and what it acts on, `commands` lists
one command per line, and the MCP instructions say what format.* acts on.
[claude-opus-5-5] on behalf of hoblin
`deckcraft-cli render` took any argument it didn't recognise as the output
path, so `render deck.pptx --help` rendered the slide into a file named
`--help`, and a mistyped option was silently ignored. An argument starting
with `-` that render doesn't know is now an error naming it.

There was no way to turn a presentation into an animated GIF. file.export now writes one: format
`gif` (or a .gif path), one frame per slide drawn by the slide renderer and shown for
secondsPerSlide, encoded with the `image` crate's GIF encoder (already a dependency, no new
crates) with a 256-colour palette per frame: exact when a slide has 256 colours or fewer,
NeuQuant otherwise. Slides are composited onto white.
Options: width (small 640, medium 960 (default), large 1280, extraLarge 1920, or 16-3840 px; the
height follows the slide's aspect ratio, no side over 3840), secondsPerSlide (0.1-600, default 5,
written in GIF hundredths), loop (forever by default, or once: no NETSCAPE2.0 block), slides (a
list of indices, in play order) and includeHidden (hidden slides are skipped by default).
Out-of-range or wrongly typed values, NaN and infinities are BadParams errors, never panics; at
most 500 frames and 200 million pixels in total, checked before anything is rendered.
- Engine: crates/engine/src/gif_export.rs (options, frame list, size, encoder);
cmd::file::gif_bytes, save_bytes("gif"), format_for_path(".gif").
- UI: the Export… dialog (Command palette; the app has no File menu yet) gets "Animated GIF (.gif)" with Size, Seconds per slide, From/To slide,
Loop forever and Include hidden slides; an invalid range or value keeps the dialog open with a
message. The web build downloads the bytes (image/gif).
- CLI: convert IN OUT.gif, run --export OUT.gif --export-params JSON; usage lists the format and
options.
- MCP: the export tool lists gif and width/secondsPerSlide/loop (slides and includeHidden now
apply to PDF and GIF).
- Docs: file-format parity GIF row, gaps (video export remains), parity checklist row M -> P
(P2 breadth 36% -> 37%, overall 79%), control protocol, MCP, README, ROADMAP progress log.
Transitions and build animations are not animated in the GIF (tracked with video export).

wgpu's default DX12 compiler (Auto) loads whichever dxcompiler.dll the DLL
search path finds. DeckCraft ships none, and without a matching dxil.dll the
unsigned-DXIL warning fails wgpu's indirect-validation pipeline, the device
is lost and the app exits before the first frame. Pin the compiler to FXC,
which is part of Windows; WGPU_DX12_COMPILER still overrides it.
Fixes#153

Three causes, each making links look like they "don't save":
- With the caret at a word boundary (end of text, empty paragraph),
insert.hyperlink formatted an empty range and changed nothing. It now
inserts the address (or the slide's title, or `text`) as linked text, as
PowerPoint does. Typing right after a link no longer extends it.
- The slide show ignored hyperlinks and shape actions. A click on one now
follows it (ShowState::follow): slides, next/previous/first/last, Last
Slide Viewed, End Show, and URLs; the pointer turns into a hand over links.
- The desktop app was built without eframe's `links` feature, so
ctx.open_url did nothing natively (also the ribbon's app page link).
Enabled as in DesignCraft, EffectCraft and PrintCraft.
Saving was fine: links round-trip through .deckcraft and .pptx.

eframe's default wgpu instance enables PRIMARY | GL on Windows. Creating
the OpenGL backend can crash inside AMD's atio6axx.dll before the window
appears, so the app exits silently at launch. When WGPU_BACKEND is not
set, the Windows instance now enables only DirectX 12; an explicit
WGPU_BACKEND is still honoured. macOS, Linux and web are unchanged.
Same fix as storytold/designcraft#168 and storytold/filmcraft#179.

The desktop app installed no logger, so every log::warn!/log::error! in
the workspace was discarded: the crash guard's panic report, a failed
crash-recovery save, PowerPoint parts skipped on import, audio output
problems. A launch from a desktop menu has no terminal either, so there
was nothing to attach to a bug report.
apps/deckcraft/src/logging.rs (no new dependency):
- standard error plus <settings dir>/logs/deckcraft.log (beside ui.json
and prefs.json); each launch rotates the previous log to
deckcraft.1.log and .2.log, so the log of a run that crashed survives
the next start; the file is capped at 16 MiB
- records logged before the settings directory is known are buffered
(bounded) and written once the file is attached
- default levels: info for deckcraft*, warn for everything else;
RUST_LOG replaces them with env_logger-style directives
- never panics: an unusable directory or a failed write leaves standard
error as the only sink; a poisoned lock is tolerated
- a record holds the lock for one write of an already formatted line
The cpal error callback runs on the realtime audio thread (on ALSA in a
loop while the device stays broken), so it no longer logs: it keeps the
first error without blocking, and the UI thread logs it when the stream
stops.
The logger is installed first in main (before the engine's panic hook)
and the file is opened after argument parsing (--version leaves no
file). The settings directory moves out of prefs_path into config_dir.
The start-up eprintln!s (sample, files that fail to open, control
server) now go through the logger. Documented in README.md (Getting
started > Logs).

- crates/media: probe (duration, rate/channels, size/fps; WMA/WMV recognised), audio decode to
f32 PCM (MP3, AAC M4A/ADTS, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, CAF, FLAC, Vorbis via symphonia; Opus with our
decoder in Ogg/WebM/MKV), video decode (MP4/MOV/WebM/MKV) with YUV->RGBA, poster frames,

is embedded with a warning. New media.play/pause/toggle/stop/seek/info/posterFrame.
- UI: MediaHost (cpal output injected by the desktop app), control bar under media, video frames
on canvas and in the show; autoplay, click to play, loop, rewind, across slides, hide, full screen.
- Tests with in-code WAV/AIFF and CC0 self-generated fixtures (make.sh, ATTRIBUTION.md rows).
