- Double-clicking a keyframe of a numeric property (or its context menu ▸ Edit Value…) opens
the property's value dialog for that key, as in After Effects (it only moved the current
time); other keys still move the current time to them.
- The keyframe context menu has Select Equal Keyframes, Select Previous Keyframes and Select
Following Keyframes (`keys.selectEqual` / `selectPrevious` / `selectFollowing`).
- Roving keys draw as small dots in the Timeline, like After Effects.

- `keys.transform {fromStart}`: each step of a merged drag gives the whole transform since the
drag started and applies to the keys as they were then. Keys squeezed onto one frame on the
way (Alt-drag scaling, the transform box) are no longer merged for good, and a slow
transform-box move, whose per-frame offsets rounded to nothing, now moves the keys.
- Dragging a key in the Graph Editor moves every selected key in time and value (it moved only
the grabbed one), by how far the pointer went from where the button went down (the key no
longer jumps under the pointer); Shift keeps the drag to the time or the value axis.
- Shift+click toggles a key in or out of the selection; Ctrl+click switches Linear ↔ Auto
Bezier and Ctrl+Alt+click toggles Hold, as in the Timeline.
- The transform box and the Timeline's Alt-drag scale send whole-gesture values.

- A drag (keys.move steps sharing a merge key) applies its total offset to the keys as they
were before it (`Session::key_move`, `prop::shift_keys`): dragging over another key of the
property no longer deletes it; only the drop position replaces a key, as in After Effects.
- Keys of time-stretched layers move with the pointer: offsets are applied in comp time and
snapped to comp frames (drags and Alt+Arrow nudges; they moved by the layer-time distance).
- Shift+click toggles a key in or out of the selection (`keys.select {toggle}`); Ctrl+click
switches Linear ↔ Auto Bezier and Ctrl+Alt+click toggles Hold.
- Keys of locked layers can't be selected (clicks, marquee, Select All Keyframes), so nothing
edits them.
- Toggle Hold off returns an eased key to Bezier (it always restored Linear).
- Shift-dragging a key snaps to everything the current time snaps to — other keys, layer in /
out points, layer and comp markers, the work area — and a tooltip shows the key's time and how
many frames it moved.

The windowing layer delivers Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V as clipboard events instead of key
presses, and the shortcut dispatcher only read key presses: in the app, copying and pasting
keyframes, layers and effects with the keyboard did nothing (tests passed because they inject
key presses). Clipboard events now map back to their keys with the modifiers held (so Ctrl+Alt+C
and the other variants work too), except while text is edited in the viewer, which handles them
itself. Ctrl+V sends no event while the system clipboard is empty, so copying now also puts a
line naming what was copied on it ("EffectCraft: 3 keyframes").

Dragging a keyframe moved it a frame or two and then let go: the key's widget id includes its
time, so after the first move it was a new widget and egui ended the drag. The Timeline now
follows the whole gesture itself (`KeyDrag`: from where the button went down, by whole frames,
every selected key, one undo step), like After Effects. Holding Shift snaps the grabbed key to
the current time, the work area and composition markers.

Following AGENTS.md's Never crash rules for the M3 / M4 additions:
- Cache Frames When Idle panicked (`clamp` with min > max) when the work area was inverted
(start set past the end); an empty work area now has nothing to cache.
- `file.newCompFromSelection`: the sequence overlap times the layer count overflowed for a huge
`overlapDuration` (wrapping to a wrong comp length without overflow checks); negative or
non-finite values fall back to 1 s and the product saturates. The lead item is read with
`get()` instead of indexing.
- Layer Settings' enablement reads the first selected layer with `first()`.
- Regression tests for both (each failed before the fix).

Composition ▸ Preview ▸ Cache Frames When Idle was only a saved checkbox. After a second
without input or edits it now renders the work area's frames (from the current time on, then
from the start) into the RAM preview, a few at a time behind the viewer's own frame, until the
work area is cached or the RAM preview budget is full.
Docs: preferences.

- Viewer Resolution Auto rendered at half its scale while a preview played, so frames cached
while scrubbing were not played and frames cached by the preview were re-rendered once it
stopped. Auto now follows the zoom alike playing and paused (Fast Previews still lowers it
while dragging).
- Cache Before Playback waited for every frame of the range: a range larger than the RAM
preview budget evicted its first frames and never started. The range is now cut to the
frames that fit (90 % of Settings ▸ Memory & CPU's budget) with a message, then cached and
played.
- The Info panel shows the frame rate a playing preview achieves and whether it is real time
(`Playback::achieved_fps` / `real_time`, automation id `info.previewFps`).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `FrameKey` carries a hash of the render options (`frames::opts_hash`): switching Fast
Previews (Draft / Fast Draft) or Realtime Shadows no longer shows frames rendered the other
way.
- Eviction drops the least recently shown frame (`Frames::get` touches it), not the oldest
inserted: a looping preview a little over budget no longer evicts the frame it shows next.
- Frames of earlier project revisions are dropped on every change (`Frames::drop_stale`); they
could never be shown again but held memory (and GPU textures) until evicted.
- The green cache bars (Timeline, Preview panel) count the frames of exactly what the viewer
shows — scale, 3D view / region of interest and options (`EffectcraftApp::shown_series`) —
instead of any frame at that scale.
- Playback loops compute the key's fixed part once (`EffectcraftApp::frame_series`).
- Docs: architecture.

- GPU in browser job workers: each job worker opens its own WebGPU device
(deferred readbacks); the Render Queue export and the analyses' frame loops
are futures (render::passes, offload::run_request_async) whose frames
render in passes, awaiting the device between them. GPU particles and
Advanced 3D read back under keys too. workers.jobs reports passes and
readbacks; the smoke test measures them.
- Layer buffers in the browser's OPFS disk cache: frame workers back their
layer caches with a PrefetchStore; the page plans what to fetch before a
request from recent misses (LayerPrefetch over the shared DiskIndex).
- Templates embed footage (default on, size-capped with a warning) and
creating from a template extracts it next to the new project / into
browser storage.
- ICC LUT profiles (lut8/lut16/lutAtoB/lutBtoA, from the public ICC spec) in
Simulate Output > My Custom RGB, baked into a 3D LUT for the viewer.

- GPU in the browser: each frame worker opens its own WebGPU device (Gpu::request_deferred) and
renders the GPU compositor and GPU effects with deferred readbacks (effectcraft-gpu deferred):
readbacks keyed by content start with map_async and miss, the pass returns placeholders, the
layer cache's gate drops inserts, and FrameServer::resume renders again once the device
delivered. Backend Auto times whole frames per comp in the workers. Frames with effects go to
GPU workers instead of the page. CPU fallback without WebGPU in workers (?nogpuworkers).
- Fix: a WGSL constant (3.40282347e38) that Chrome rejects invalidated every GPU kernel in Chrome
(the page's compositor too); a test checks every float literal fits f32.
- Disk cache in the Origin Private File System: workers write sealed frame entries with sync
access handles (temp file + move), the page keeps the DiskIndex (LRU under the settings' limit,
at most half the quota) and reads hits instead of rendering; survives reloads; blue cache bar.
- Storage manager: Settings ▸ Disk ▸ Browser Storage (usage/quota, persistent storage, Clear
buttons, automation ids) and storage.info / storage.persist / storage.clear (StorageHost).
- Docs: web.md (GPU workers, deferred passes, disk cache, storage manager, threading design:
one engine instance per worker), architecture, preferences, parity (WEB-1), roadmap.
- Tests: deferred passes vs CPU on a real device, placeholder gating, frame server passes and
Auto, GPU worker routing + disk cache across a reload, storage commands and widgets, store
usage by kind; smoke test: GPU effect frames in workers with pixel parity, disk hits after a
reload, storage manager.

Effect Controls: Lumetri RGB and hue/saturation curve graphs, Colorama's
palette wheel, Glow's colour map strip and Arbitrary Map curves, Reshape
correspondence buttons and viewer handles (all prop.set, one undo step per
gesture, automation ids). Preview panel scrolls; Composition/Timeline tabs

Viewer frames render in long-lived Web Workers holding a project replica
(engine::remote: structural JSON diff/patch, Mirror, FrameServer); the
frame cache hands jobs to a RemoteFrames renderer (UI-thread fallback).
Roto Brush propagation runs in a job worker and streams segmentations
back (FrameSeg binary form), relayed to frame workers. Control-channel
wait:true commands whose job is offloaded reply when it ends. The Media
Browser browses a pluggable Browser: the file system on the desktop;
browser storage and File System Access folders on the web.

Preview panel: five shortcuts (Spacebar, Shift+Spacebar, Numpad 0, Shift+Numpad 0,
Alt+Numpad 0) each with saved options (include video/audio/overlays/layer controls, loop,
cache before playback, range incl. play around current time, play from, frame rate, skip,
resolution, full screen, play cached frames, move time to preview time), persisted in
prefs; playback.settings.get/set; the playback loop follows the preview plan.
Align panel: layer.align {edge, to} and layer.distribute {mode} engine commands (bounds
through transform and parents, one undo step); Align Layers to dropdown and Distribute row.

Viewer: the region of interest has corner and edge handles that resize it
from the opposite corner/edge; Pan Behind snaps the anchor point (layer
features, guides, grid) and measures from the press point (it lagged by the

Region-of-interest frames render on the CPU path; the viewer keeps main's
frame drawing (Show Channel, exposure, ROI) and reads GPU-composited frames
back. Keeping frames as native egui-wgpu textures stays implemented behind
RenderSource::gpu_display (off).
