Dragging the in or out edge of a selected layer's bar now trims every
selected layer by the same delta from its own in/out point, as in After
Effects. layer.timing gains relative inDelta/outDelta params (seconds,
frame-snapped), clamped to the comp start/end and to one frame of layer;
the drag stays one undo step via the merge key.

A launch from the Dock, the Start menu or a launcher has no terminal, and
without RUST_LOG nothing reached standard error anyway, so start-up and
GPU warnings were lost unless Help > Enable Logging was already on.
The logger now writes EffectCraft's info records and everyone's warnings
to standard error and to Logs/effectcraft.log in the settings folder.
Each launch keeps the previous two runs' logs; the file is capped at
16 MiB. RUST_LOG still overrides the filter. Help > Reveal Logging File
shows this run's log unless Enable Logging is on.

Problem: the viewer blurred hard edges even at Full resolution and 100 %
(reported on Discord). The frame rect was centred without snapping to
physical pixels, so bilinear sampling blended neighbouring pixels at 1:1
(worst at 125 %/150 % display scaling); More Accurate also magnified
bilinearly, so 200 %+ and lower resolutions were smoothed; and Zoom In /
Zoom Out stepped in points, so at 125 % scaling they never reached 100 %.
Fix: snap the frame origin (and the ViewerMap overlays use) to the
physical pixel grid; magnify with nearest in both Zoom Quality modes
(CPU texture options and the GPU frame sampler), keeping the averaged
minification below 100 % (#417); the snapshot texture follows the same
options; Zoom In / Out step through screen-pixel magnifications.

Problem: on Linux the font list only scanned /usr/share/fonts,
/usr/local/share/fonts, ~/.local/share/fonts and ~/.fonts. The ArtCraft
Launcher installs EffectCraft as a Flatpak, where those folders hold only
the runtime's fonts and the host's fonts live under /run/host, so installed
fonts were missing (25 families instead of 320 on the reporter's setup).
$XDG_DATA_HOME/fonts, $XDG_DATA_DIRS/*/fonts and fontconfig <dir> entries
were never scanned either.
Fix: a new font_dirs module lists the usual folders, the Flatpak host
folders (/run/host/fonts, local-fonts, user-fonts), the XDG data folders
and the <dir>/<remap-dir> entries of the fontconfig configuration
(FONTCONFIG_FILE or /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, /usr/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf,
and ~/.config/fontconfig), following <include>s with prefix="xdg",
"relative" and ~ expansion. It uses a small tag scanner (no new dependency),
bounds the include depth, the number and size of files read, and reads each
file once. Folders are deduplicated before the walk, and the walk depth
goes from 4 to 8. docs/agents.md lists the folders and how to grant the
Flatpak an extra one.

Project files now record activeComp and openComps next to savedBy, and
file.open restores them, so a project reopens on the comp it was saved
on (desktop app, CLI and MCP all open through file.open). Older files
and ids that no longer name a comp fall back to the first comp; older
versions ignore the new keys.

Port of storytold/photocraft#2445. Each theme in the appearance picker gets a
star at the right edge of its row. Starred themes are saved with the
preferences and listed in a right-click menu on the header's appearance button,
next to Appearance Settings, so switching between favorites takes one click.
Problem: Object Matte had no After Effects comparison, and none can be made
on this Linux machine (no After Effects). The gap notes still listed the
viewer tool, background job and disk cache as missing.
Fix: docs/fidelity/object-matte.md states plainly that nothing is measured
yet and pins down the comparison for when an After Effects 26.2+ reference
is available: four original or openly licensed clips (the synthetic moving
disk from the engine tests, the disk with a jump, two objects with a box
prompt, one CC0/CC BY real clip), the prompt and settings, where reference
mattes stay (gitignored), and the metrics: per-frame IoU against After
Effects (headline), IoU against ground truth, boundary distance, soft-edge
error, temporal stability, drift and time per frame, plus a proposed pass
bar left to the maintainers. Linked from docs/fidelity/README.md.
docs/gaps.md (#14) and docs/target-app-parity.md now list what landed and
leave the comparison as the one remaining item.

Problem: computed Object Matte segmentations lived only in the in-memory
cache, so every restart or memory eviction segmented the shot again (After
Effects 26.5 keeps Object Matte results in its disk cache).
Fix: the persistent disk cache gets a third entry kind, Matte (folder
`mattes`, LZ4-compressed FrameSeg bytes, same checksum, atomic writes, LRU
eviction under the one size limit, purged with the rest). Entries are keyed by
the segmentation's chain key and scale; chain keys already hash the Input Key
(the layer's source, timing, masks and effects above), the prompt, the mode and
the model, so any change simply misses. The effects crate gets a SegStore
trait behind its memory cache: Chain::ensure reads from it on a memory miss
and writes what it computes. The engine installs the session's DiskCache as
the store (held weakly, so switching the disk cache off drops it). Roto Brush
segmentations go through the same chain and are persisted too. Frozen mattes
already persist in the project (the Frozen parameter).
Tests: engine tests_roto::object_matte_mattes_persist_in_the_disk_cache (a
second session on the same folder and project gets all tracked frames back
without being able to read a single input frame, renders identically, and a
moved prompt finds nothing); render disk_cache
segmentations_round_trip_and_reopen (round trip, reopen, damaged file is a
miss, size limit evicts).

Problem: Object Matte computed its frames only on demand while rendering, so
playing a shot stalled on every untracked frame, there was no progress or way
to stop, and nothing kept the mattes once computed.
Fix: Object Matte runs through Roto Brush's job machinery (one job slot,
cancellable with roto.cancel, a worker thread on the desktop, a Web Worker in
the browser, never the UI thread). objectMatte.propagate computes the frames
around the reference frame (clipped to the layer) outward, filling the same
content-keyed segmentation cache the renderer reads; the engine's sync now
queues an instance for background tracking when its frames or prompt change.
objectMatte.freeze stores the final mattes in a new hidden Frozen parameter
(Roto Brush's FrozenCache format) under a key of the input, prompt, span,
model and matte settings; renders use them without segmenting while the key
matches; a frozen prompt is refused until objectMatte.unfreeze. Freeze is one
undo step and is dropped if the prompt changed meanwhile.
objectMatte.status reports progress, frozen state and computed frames. Effect
Controls shows Freeze / Unfreeze and Track / Stop with a status line (progress
banner). The frontend now polls Roto Brush / Object Matte jobs on their own:
before, a finished job (and so a Freeze result) was only picked up while a
Warp Stabilizer job was active. Job progress is set before the worker starts.
Tests: engine tests_roto::object_matte_background_job_cancel_and_freeze
(queued by the edit, returns at once with progress, cancel keeps a partial
result, completion computes all 25 frames, frozen renders recompute nothing,
unfreeze recomputes, undo restores); effects object_matte job_frames and
frozen-matte tests (stored pattern used, key mismatch and damaged data
ignored); ui-egui ui_object_matte Effect Controls Freeze end to end.

Problem: After Effects 26.2's Object Matte (pick an object with a click,
optionally a box, get a matte that follows it) had no counterpart; only
stroke-driven Roto Brush existed.
Fix: an Object Matte effect (Effect > Matte, ec.matte.objectmatte) turns
the Object Point (and optional box) on a Reference Frame into Roto Brush
strokes and segments them with Roto Brush's engine, content-keyed cache
and the model chosen in Settings > Roto Brush (MobileSAM, classical graph
cut without it). Track Object carries the matte frame by frame up to 600
frames each way; otherwise every frame is segmented on its own. Feather,
Contrast, Shift Edge, Invert and a Matte view. The engine keeps its Input
Key current so upstream edits recompute it. objectMatte.apply creates one
from agents / the CLI. Unusable prompts pass the layer through.

Problem: comp.new/comp.settings clamp sizes to 30,000 px, frame rates to
0.001-1000 fps and motion-blur samples to 2-64, but reading a project
(.ecproj and .ecprojx, templates, recovery, offload) accepted any value:
a 4-billion-px comp, solid or footage frame, a 0 or 10^18 fps rate
(zero-length frames), a negative duration or 4 billion blur samples all
reached the renderer. New Solid, Layer Settings, Import Solid/Placeholder,
Crop Comp and PSD import set sizes without the upper bound, and comp
sizes past 2^32 wrapped.
Fix: one set of limits in effectcraft_project::limits. Project::from_json
brings every item (and proxy) within them; from_json_repaired also says
what it changed, which file.open returns as `repaired` and shows in a
toast, so the project still opens. Project::add_item applies the same
limits to every new item, and the size-setting commands clamp with the
shared helpers.

Problem: floating panels lived inside the main window only, so on a
two-screen setup no panel could go onto the second monitor (#486).
Fix: panel menu > Move Panel to New Window (and the agent/control command
`window.panelWindow {panel, window?}`) undocks the panel if needed and shows
its floating group in a native egui viewport the user can drag to any screen;
Move Panel to Main Window or closing the window brings it back. The window's
place and size are kept in the workspace (sanitised against hostile values)
and restored on the next start. Browser and test builds, which embed
viewports, show it as an in-app window.

Problem: nothing fuzzed project files. The hand-written .ecprojx XML reader
recursed once per nested <arr>/<obj> with no limit, so a deeply nested file
overflowed the stack and aborted the app instead of failing to open.
Fix: a dependency-free, deterministic, seeded mutation fuzzer for File > Open
(JSON and XML seeds from the demo, byte and JSON-structure mutations, the real
file.open path, first queries and a thumbnail render; each input under
catch_unwind with a deadline; bounded for cargo test, longer runs via env
vars). The XML reader now stops at the JSON reader's 128-level limit, with a
regression test.

Problem: app.scheduleTask(code, delay, true) queued the task and then
skipped it (eval_with_tasks: `if repeat { continue; }`), so repeating
tasks - what ScriptUI panels use for polling and refreshing - never ran.
One-shot tasks scheduled by handlers or in the Script Console never ran
either.
Fix: tasks live per script context (crates/script/src/tasks.rs) with a
due time. Frontends run the due ones every frame through the new
ScriptUi::run_tasks hook (the egui app does; agents and headless hosts
use the `script.runTasks` command). Script-host threads get a Tick
message, inline hosts (Script Console, web) run in their kept context.
A repeating task runs every `delay` ms until app.cancelTask, until it
throws (reported once, then cancelled), or until its owner goes: the
script's last window closing, or - for scripts without windows and the
console - the project being closed or replaced (ScriptUi::project_epoch).
Bounds: at least 50 ms between runs, at most 64 pending tasks per
script, one run per pass (no catch-up bursts), task code nested too
deeply is refused, the engine's loop and recursion limits apply. Ticks
only reach the hosts of the session that scheduled them.

Problem: with the Project panel focused the arrow keys did nothing (After
Effects selects the previous / next item, extends with Shift and opens /
closes folders with Right / Left). The custom-drawn rows, sort headers,
twirls, label swatches, proxy switches and footer buttons reached
AccessKit with no name or role, the empty list area and each row's name
cell were unnamed extra Tab stops, a Tab-focused row showed no focus
ring, and the arrows then moved egui's spatial focus instead.
Fix: Up / Down select the previous / next row (Shift extends from the
anchor), Right opens and Left closes the selected folder or selects the
parent; the moved-to row scrolls into view. A row with keyboard focus
keeps the arrows, focus follows the selection and the panel takes focus.
Rows are AccessKit tree items named "<name>, <type>" with selected,
level and expanded state; headers and row / footer buttons are named
buttons; one Tab stop per row and a focus ring.

The panel catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/ui.rs) has grown to 496 rows since
Ukrainian last matched it on 9 October, so `uk` fell back to English for the Home
screen, the viewer's toolbar tooltips and popups, the Appearance settings, the
solid dialog and the project, import, export and colour-management forms.
Add those rows, in the Chinese catalogs' order and under their section comments,
so the catalogs stay parallel. `uk` now carries 495 of the 496 rows: `RGB` reads
the same in Ukrainian, so it keeps no row and falls back to the English source,
which is what the catalog's own rule asks for.
Terminology follows the Ukrainian menu catalog in i18n.rs so the two agree:
Full/Half/Third/Quarter as Повна/Половина/Третина/Чверть, Draft as Чорнова,
Wireframe as Каркас, Custom... as Власна..., Region of Interest as Область
інтересу, footage as матеріал, solid as суцільний колір, Default as Стандартний.
Dark and Light take the neuter form the catalog's existing Darker/Lighter rows
(Темніше/Світліше) already use, so one row reads correctly both as an Appearance
Mode and as a theme card option.
`format_ago` picks between one and many, while Ukrainian declines the noun for 1,
for 2–4 and for 5 and up, so the relative times use the invariant unit
abbreviations (хв, год, дн.), which read correctly for every count. A per-language
plural rule would be the fuller fix and is left for its own change.
ROADMAP.md and docs/localization-parity.md carry the new count.

Problem: the Render Queue had no single-file uncompressed output, so
handing a render to an external encoder meant a lossy codec, ProRes,
or an image sequence plus a separate WAV.
Fix: add the "QuickTime (Uncompressed)" Output Module format. Frames
are stored as QuickTime 'raw ' samples: 8-bit RGB (depth 24, rows
padded to even bytes) or ARGB with RGB + Alpha (depth 32), written
through FilmCraft's existing QuickTime muxer with PCM audio
(16/24-bit or float) like ProRes. Format name `uncompressed` on the
control channel; disk-space estimate and Sample Format menu included.

Problem: ScriptUI controls never sent mouse events to scripts.
addEventListener("mousedown" | "mouseup" | "mousemove" | "mouseover" |
"mouseout" | "click") listeners never ran, so custom-drawn controls
(onDraw + mouse, as DuScriptUI builds them) could not react to the pointer.
docs/plugins.md listed this as missing.
Fix: scriptui.js builds a ScriptUI MouseEvent (clientX/clientY relative to
the target, button, detail = click count, screenX/Y, modifier keys,
getModifierState, stopPropagation, preventDefault) and delivers it in the
capture, target and bubble phases. addEventListener takes the capture flag.
The parent walk is bounded, so a script-made parent cycle cannot hang it.
Each published control lists the mouse events a listener wants
(Widget::mouse, inherited from containers). The new scriptui.mouse
command dispatches one event with clamped, finite values and rejects
unknown types and disabled controls. The egui ScriptUI view hit-tests the
pointer over script windows and docked panels, skipping covered layers and
windows blocked by a modal dialog. It sends mouseover/mouseout,
mousemove, mousedown/mouseup with click counts, and a click carrying the
pointer details in place of the plain click, so a checkbox still toggles
once. Handlers run under the existing script limits; a throwing listener
reports an error and the window keeps working.

Problem: After Effects 26.2 spreads a Ctrl+Alt (Cmd+Opt) hot-text scrub
over the selected layers by selection order (first unchanged, last the
whole change, the ones between even shares). Our multi-layer scrub
(#491) always moved every selected layer by the same change.
Fix: prop.set takes `proportional` (with `selected` + `offset`); each
participating layer, the scrubbed one included, gets index/(n-1) of the
change in selection order, in one undo step; the first layer is left
alone (no key added). The Timeline value editor sends it while Ctrl+Alt
(Cmd+Opt) is held; that chord no longer fine-scrubs or unlinks Scale.

Problem: `$.evalFile` always threw, and `typeof BridgeTalk` was
`undefined`, so frameworks such as DuAEF failed during initialisation
when they load their modules or ask which application they run in.
Fix: `$.evalFile(file[, timeout])` evaluates a script file in the global
scope and returns its last value. Relative paths resolve against the
folder of the file being evaluated (the running script's for the
outermost call, else the project's); reads follow the same file gate,
16 MiB size cap and 32-deep nesting limit as `#include` (#759, shared
`scriptfile.rs`), and the bracket-depth check runs before parsing.
`BridgeTalk` names the host honestly (`appName` "effectcraft", its
version, `appSpecifier`, `isRunning` / `getSpecifier` / `getStatus` /
`getTargets` for ourselves only); `send()` throws a clear "not
supported" error instead of messaging other applications.

Problem: ExtendScript's preprocessor directives weren't understood, so a
script (or ScriptUI panel, or library such as DuAEF) failed to parse at
its first `#include`; `#target` / `#targetengine` / `#strict` lines broke
parsing too.
Fix: before a script runs, `include::expand` inlines `#include "f"` and
`//@include "f"` in place of the line, resolved against the including
file's folder, then the folders of the latest `#includepath "a;b"`.
Each file is inlined once (which also breaks cycles), nesting is limited
to 32, files are capped at 16 MiB (64 MiB in all), and reads follow the
scripts' file gate (the script's own folder, the project's folder, or
anywhere with Allow Scripts to Write Files). `#target`, `#targetengine`,
`#strict`, `#script` and `#engine` are dropped. Errors in the expanded
code are mapped back to the included file and its line. Scripts without
directives run unchanged. File resolution, the gate and the limits live
in `scriptfile.rs` for `$.evalFile` (#760) to share.

Problem: the Media Browser lists .mxf files, but File > Import's dialog
filtered them out and media::is_importable refused them, although the
pinned FilmCraft codecs behind crates/media already demux MXF (AVC,
MPEG-2 / XDCAM / D-10, VC-3 / DNxHD, ProRes, PCM audio) by content.
Fix: add "mxf" to VIDEO_EXTENSIONS and to the File > Import and Set
Proxy dialog filters. Tests check MPEG-2 4:2:2 long-GOP + 24-bit PCM and
DNxHD 36 MXF against ffmpeg frames (>35 dB, measured 64-67 dB), audio
level, and that the Import dialog offers MXF. AVI stays open: FilmCraft
has no AVI demuxer.

Problem: an animated WebP (e.g. ffmpeg -c:v libwebp_anim) imported as a
still and showed only its first frame; probe_bytes handed every WebP to
the still path. Found while measuring #719.
Fix: a webp_anim module, following the animated GIF path. Probing reads
the RIFF chunk headers (VP8X animation and alpha flags, one ANMF per
frame) and describes a WebP with two or more frames as Video footage
(codec "WebP", alpha Straight or Ignore from VP8X). Frame delays give the
rate: delays within 1 ms of each other read as the standard rate they
round to (24, 25, 29.97...), else 1000 / gcd of the delays so uneven
timing is exact; delays of 10 ms or less count as 100 ms as in browsers.
Frames are decoded once with the image crate's WebP AnimationDecoder and
cached in the pool's existing GIF slot; gif_anim::Anim now keeps frame
starts as Ticks and serves both formats. Canvas x frames beyond the
existing memory cap is refused before decoding; a damaged tail keeps the
frames before it; a file without frames is a clear decode error. Still
WebP stays a still.

Problem: the Media Browser listed .dpx files and After Effects imports
DPX and Cineon scans (stills and numbered sequences), but import
refused them: nothing could decode either format, and .cin was not even
an image to the browser, so its runs never grouped into sequences.
Fix: a small pure-Rust reader written from the public SMPTE 268M and
Kodak Cineon specifications (crates/media/src/dpx.rs): luma, RGB, RGBA
and ABGR at 8/10/12/16 bits, 10-bit filled method A/B, 12-bit in 16-bit
words, both byte orders, lines padded to 32-bit words, unrotated
orientations and the pixel aspect ratio; the codec names the transfer
(log, linear, ...) and code values are shown as stored. RLE, signed,
float, Y'CbCr, packed 10/12-bit and transposed files are refused with a
clear error; every header field is bounds-checked and the data length
verified before allocating. Probe and frame decode use it first;
is_importable, the Media Browser kinds and the import dialog list
.dpx/.cin.

Problem: EffectCraft shipped only 8 original text-animator presets against
After Effects' 621; there was no Transitions category (ranked gap #7).
Fix: an original preset library, crates/engine/presets/transitions.json
(23 presets on our own Transition effects and layer opacity: fades,
directional and diagonal wipes, clock and fan reveals, blinds and slats,
pixel/mosaic dissolves, card flips, CC grid, radial scale, line sweep and
jaws wipes; In and Out). New commands anim.applyBuiltinPreset (adds the
effects with values and keyframes from the current time, one undo step,
reports any path that doesn't fit) and anim.builtinPresets. Effects &
Presets lists them under * Animation Presets > Transitions; double-click
applies. Sidecar and ATTRIBUTION.md entry; gaps/effects-parity updated.

Problem: After Effects scripts call layers and property groups as a
shorthand for .property(nameOrIndex) (layer("ADBE Effect Parade"),
fxGroup(1), effect("Slider Control")("Slider")); Duik and many other
scripts use it throughout. EffectCraft's objects were Proxies around
plain objects, so each such call failed with "TypeError: not a callable
function".
Fix: Layer, PropertyGroup, MaskPropertyGroup and Property objects are
now Proxies around an arrow function carrying the object's state and
prototype (own name/length removed so the object's getters show). The
apply trap returns self.property(arg), so a call matches .property():
null when absent, Property returns null, and a missing name is the same
script error. instanceof, attribute access and script results are
unchanged; new on these objects stays a TypeError.

Problem: After Effects 26.3's font menu can show only variable fonts.
EffectCraft's font menus (Character panel, Properties ▸ Text) had no such
filter, and text.fonts / MCP list_fonts didn't say which families are
variable.
Fix: the font scan marks a face variable when its table directory has an
fvar table declaring axes (header read only, no extra file loading). The
font menu gets a "Variable fonts only" checkbox above the results; it
combines with the typed search, keeps the keyboard in the search field and
stays set while the app runs. text.fonts reports `variable` per family and
takes `{variable: true}`; list_fonts passes it through. Catalog rows for
ja, zh-Hans, zh-Hant and uk.

Problem: In Advanced 3D, an extruded shape or text layer was one mesh in
its paint colour. After Effects colours the front, bevel, side and back
of an extrusion separately (shape Contents ▸ Add ▸ Front/Bevel/Side/Back,
text Animate ▸ Front/Bevel/Side/Back), and EffectCraft had none of it.
Fix: The extruder can split its mesh by surface (front cap, bevel rings,
walls, back cap). Shape layers get Front / Bevel / Side / Back contents
items (layer.addShapeItem kinds frontColor…backColor, one item per
group, colouring every paint of the group and its nested groups; the
innermost wins). Text animators get Front / Bevel / Side / Back Color,
blended over the character's fill or stroke by the selection. Paints
with a surface colour render as one mesh per surface. Menus, the
Contents Add: pop-up and the menu translations list them. The other
surface material properties (Ambient, Diffuse, Specular, Metal,
Reflection, ...) remain.

Problem: with no working space and Working Gamma 2.4, a linear EXR still
converted with the sRGB curve (0.18 -> 0.4627, After Effects 0.4902):
float footage was sRGB-encoded at decode, before the render knew the
project's curve. Interpret As Linear Light on float footage then encoded
a second time (0.18 -> 0.7255).
Fix: FootageSource::frame_with asks for float footage with a FloatCurve
(sRGB, a pure 2.4 power curve, or as stored). The renderer asks for the
Working Gamma's curve when unmanaged, sRGB when managed, and the stored
values when Interpret As Linear Light encodes them afterwards.
MediaPool decodes float values that way (Preserve RGB still reads them
as stored) and caches each curve apart.

Problem: the Media Browser lists .tga and .hdr files (and groups them into
image sequences), but media::is_importable had neither extension and the
still decoder never tried them, so importing them failed.
Fix: enable the image crate's built-in tga and hdr decoders (no new
dependency), add both to STILL_EXTENSIONS and the File > Import dialog, and
pick a still's format by signature with an extension fallback, since Targa
has no signature. Radiance HDR is linear float light and is sRGB-encoded like
OpenEXR (super-white kept); Targa alpha goes through the existing
unlabeled-alpha interpretation.

Problem: After Effects 26 imports FBX models into Advanced 3D comps; File > Import rejected
.fbx, so FBX product shots and scenes could not be used.
Fix: a clean-room FBX 7.x reader in effectcraft-model (binary node records with 32/64-bit
offsets and zlib arrays, ASCII syntax) and a scene builder: meshes with normals, UVs and
per-polygon materials, the Model hierarchy with the SDK transform (pivots, offsets, pre/post
rotation, rotation order, geometric transform), Lambert/Phong materials onto
metallic-roughness with embedded or relative textures, and GlobalSettings axes turned to
Y-up. Wired into import, probing, the media browser and the file dialog. Hostile input

Problem: After Effects 26.3 pastes copied vector artwork as shape layers. Edit ▸ Paste only
knew the app's own clipboard, so SVG markup on the system clipboard was ignored; turning SVG
into shapes needed an imported footage file and Create Shapes from Vector Layer.
Fix: a new `edit.pasteSvg {svg, name?, comp?}` command builds a shape layer from SVG text with
the same conversion as Create Shapes from Vector Layer (paths, fills, strokes, gradients, clip
masks), above the selected layer with the SVG canvas centred in the comp, as one undo step;
oversized, non-SVG or shapeless text is rejected. In the UI, Ctrl/Cmd+V (and the native Edit ▸

Problem: After Effects 26.3 copies the current composition frame to the
system clipboard; EffectCraft could only write it to a file (Save Frame As).
Fix: new command comp.copyFrame {comp?, time?, scale?} renders the frame as
Save Frame As ▸ File does and emits Event::CopyImage (pixels not
serialized); the egui frontend puts it on the clipboard after checking the
buffer size. In the Composition menu (translated) and the viewer's context
menu; drivable by id over the control channel / MCP.
