- 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.

- footage.check: background footage check after File > Open (Progress panel), not an undo step
- timeline: track-matte / parent menus built only while open (was O(n^2) per frame);
expression-row lookup per layer; panels hold Arc<Comp> snapshots instead of deep clones
- Project panel: virtualised vertical scrolling, selection reveal, thumbnails rendered off
the UI thread
- effectcraft-cli bench --ops (engine::perf + ui-egui::bench)

- command.describe / list_commands {schemas} give each command's params JSON Schema;
MCP describe_command, add_effect, list_effects and get_state (app.capabilities)
- effectcraft-cli exec --list [--schemas]
- headless UI audit: every panel kind's interactive egui widgets are covered by
automation ids (fixed: timeline navigator, label swatch, bar trim edges, group and
property name cells)
- command lookup is indexed

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
get close, label swatch and viewer lock; Effect Controls tab the layer
swatch; dropdowns elide long text. Fix the browser start (no default disk
cache folder on wasm32). Browser smoke test covers frame workers, waiting
renders and the Media Browser.

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.

Render Settings: field render with 3:2 pulldown phases, effects/solo/guide
layer/color depth/frame blending/motion blur overrides, custom time sampling
(duration), storage overflow through a quota hook. Output Module: crop
(edges or region of interest), resize (presets, lock aspect, quality),
straight/premultiplied/alpha-only channels, post-render actions, include
project link, audio channels and PCM formats, WebM bitrate and key frame
interval. Render Settings / Output Module templates with built-ins and
defaults per slot (Edit > Templates dialogs), render logs next to the
output, Notify on completion. All through renderQueue.* commands and
persisted in the project.

Reconciled with main's keyframe labels (same Keyframe::label field; keys.setLabel and
keys.selectLabelGroup from main are kept, M14.5's duplicates removed; Edit ▸ Label on
selected keys delegates to the label helper), proxies (RenderOpts::proxy next to
nested_switches/draft_shadows), offloaded renders (Work carries nested_switches), wasm
audio pump (preview mix rate), variable font axes and mask feather points.

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
drag threshold); Choose Grid and Guide Options > 3D Reference Axes toggles a
world-axis triad seen through the view's camera (Settings > 3D).

LYR-9: Layer > Layer Styles > Layer Style Options... (layer.style.options)
and choosing a style from that menu open a Layer Style dialog: style list
with check boxes (Blending Options first) and the selected style's controls
built from its layerStyles properties, edited live through prop.set (one
undo step per control); Cancel rolls back everything done since it opened.

Interface: Timeline outline columns wider than the pane scroll horizontally
(Shift+wheel/trackpad, scroll bar above the footer; headers clipped); the
Project panel's optional columns scroll under the frozen Name/Label columns.
ANM-1: keyframe colour labels (keys.setLabel, Label submenu, tinted key
icons) and Edit > Select Keyframe Label Group on selected/all layers and
visible keyframes (keys.selectLabelGroup replaces the stub). Alt-drag time
scaling of key groups already existed.

Shapes (SHP-2): Stroke Taper (pixels/percent start/end length, width, ease) and
Wave (amount, pixels/cycles, wavelength, phase) rendered as a variable-width
outline; Dash 2/Gap 2/Dash 3/Gap 3 (shape.dashes.add/remove, timeline +/-
buttons); radial gradient Highlight Length/Angle as a focal gradient.
Masks (MSK-1): mask feather points on the Mask Path (mask.featherPoint.*,
Mask Feather tool add/drag), per-point signed radius and tension, rendered
from the signed distance to the path; carried through vertex edits.
Motion blur (LYR-10): Adaptive Sample Limit comp setting; 2D layers take one
sample per pixel of shutter travel between Samples Per Frame and the limit.

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).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The desktop viewer builds the GPU compositor on egui-wgpu's device and,
with Mercury GPU Acceleration, renders frames into RGBA8 textures that are
registered with egui-wgpu and drawn directly (no readback); the RAM preview
cache holds them under a video-memory budget. Pixels are read back only on
demand (Info panel, eyedroppers, histograms). Project Settings gets the
Video Rendering and Effects renderer choice. ui_gpu test: GPU viewer frame
matches the CPU one (skips without an adapter).

Graph Editor (ANM-4) and timeline keyframe tools:
- Transform box around two or more selected keys: corners scale time and
value about the opposite corner, edges one axis, the inside moves the
keys (keys.transform, one undo step per drag, times land on frames).
- Snap: dragged key times snap to the current time and other keys.
- Show Reference Graph: the other graph type, faint, behind the curves.
- Timeline Alt-drag of a key group's first or last key scales the group in
time about the other end.
- keys.transform takes dims (only the shown dimensions change).

Composition viewer interaction parity with After Effects:
- Snapping (View > Snapping, the Tools bar checkbox, Cmd/Ctrl inverts while
dragging): layer edges, centres and anchor points, mask and shape-path
vertices, comp edges/centre, guides (Snap to Guides) and grid (Snap to
Grid), with highlighted target box / line / cross feedback. Pure maths in
engine::viewer (nearest target within tolerance, priority ties).
- Rulers (Cmd+R) with live pointer markers and a draggable zero point;
guides dragged out of the rulers, moved in the viewer, dragged off to
remove (view.moveGuide / view.removeGuide), lock respected; proportional
grid.
- Show Channel (RGB/Red/Green/Blue/Alpha/RGB Straight, Colorize), exposure
(+/- stops in linear light, reset), Take Snapshot (Shift+F5) with a stored
render and Show Snapshot (F5 held / button held), Fast Previews (Off,
Adaptive Resolution, Draft, Fast Draft, Wireframe), Resolution > Custom.
- Region of interest: drawn in the viewer; RenderOpts.roi renders only that
rectangle (crop of the full render, tested), Crop Comp to ROI uses it.
- Bottom bar in AE 2026 order ("136.1 %", "(Full)").
- Shape Pen (SHP-1): Pen on a shape layer / nothing selected draws Shape n
groups (Path 1, Stroke 1, Fill 1) via shape.newPath; the G slot cycles
Add / Delete / Convert Vertex and Mask Feather; mask.* vertex commands
work on shape paths; mask.insertVertex / mask.convertVertex; marquee
vertex selection, Alt-drag/click converts, double-click free transform
box (path.freeTransform on masks and shape paths).
- Motion paths (ANM-3): keyframe dots and spatial tangent handles, dragging
keys (keys.set) and tangents (keys.setSpatialTangents), parented layers.

Angle dial with revolutions (0x+45.0°), point crosshair + on-viewer effect
point controls via a small viewer hook, colour eyedropper sampling the
composited frame, Curves graph editor and Levels histogram/triangles bound
to their params, layer params with a Source/Masks/Effects & Masks companion,
mask (Path) popups, keyframe navigator, drag-to-reorder effect headers.
Engine: effect.copy / effect.paste / effect.reset; effect.remove takes the
selection; Edit > Copy/Paste/Duplicate/Clear act on selected effects; all
undoable.

Tracker panel (Window > Tracker): Track Camera / Warp Stabilizer (disabled),
Track Motion / Stabilize Motion, Motion Source, Current Track, Track Type,
Position/Rotation/Scale, Motion Target with Edit Target..., Options...
(Motion Tracker Options dialog), Analyze (1 frame back, back, forward,
1 frame forward; stop while running) with progress, Reset and Apply (Apply
Dimensions dialog). Track point widgets in the viewer: feature and search
regions with corner handles, attach point crosshair and track path, all
draggable through track.setPoint (one undo step per drag). Automation ids for
every widget; headless UI test.
Tracker: featureless regions no longer drift (ties keep the prediction, only
confident matches predict motion). docs/agents.md: tracking example.

Resolve conflicts with perf (layer cache / Arc<Buf>), export (RenderOpts.view: None
for output), timeline (separate dimensions + one-node POI visibility), mask/pen
viewer gestures (alongside camera tools and view-aware layer matrices), key
dialogs (alongside Camera/Light Settings), render queue + MCP command modules.
3D path tangent honours separated position; DOF blurs a per-frame copy so cached
layer buffers stay shared. New test: cached renders match uncached after camera,
focus, light and 3D view changes. Fix a clone-on-copy lint from main.
