File > Import > EffectCraft Project (and .ecproj/.ecprojx given to File > Import)
merges the project into a folder named after the file, with every id shifted past
the open project's, in one undo step. Relative footage resolves next to the file;
the result lists comps, root comps, primaryComp and missing media.
offset_ids now shifts tracker Motion Targets and saturates instead of overflowing;
fix_next_id saturates too, so a damaged file can't overflow on open or import.
Menu entry translated in all four languages.

The In/Out trim zones were 6 pt strips inside the bar only: at or just outside an end the pointer got the default cursor, and on footage/precomp layers just outside the end it hit the slip zone, which shows the same arrow but slips the source instead of trimming. Zones now reach 4 pt outside and up to 5 pt inside each end (short bars keep their middle third as body), registered after the slip zones so trimming wins there. The trim zones show the system resize cursor (upstream port: the fork also offers an owner-local cursor, left out here). Test: ui_timeline_trim.

- shape.reversePathDirection {layer?, prop?, reversed?}: one undoable step; toggles the
selected items without prop. The Timeline shows the ⇄ button on shape item rows; Path
Direction stays hidden as a property row. Trim Paths then runs the other way.
- Scripting: ADBE Vector Shape Direction is settable despite being hidden, with After
Effects' values (1 Default, 2 normal, 3 Reversed) mapped to ours (0/1) and read back as 1/3.
- AEP import: AE's Reversed (3) imported as 2 (not reversed); now maps to 1.
- Go to Work Area Start/End get AE's defaults Shift+Home / Shift+End.
Upstream port: the Shift+Home / Shift+End work-area bindings and the After Effects-import part are left out (they build on fork work not upstream yet).

With shape layers selected, Option-clicking the Fill/Stroke swatch or picking a kind,
blend mode or opacity in Fill/Stroke Options only changed the shape tools' defaults
(shape.toolOptions); the layers kept their paint (e.g. Fill: None left the blue fill).
shape.fillStroke now takes fillType/strokeType (none|solid|linear|radial, or
fill/stroke: false), fillBlend/strokeBlend and fillOpacity/strokeOpacity, applied to
every Fill/Stroke and Gradient Fill/Stroke in the layers' contents (nested groups too),
one undo step:
- None switches the items off (eye off, kept, as After Effects does); the renderer
already skips disabled items.
- Solid switches them on; Linear/Radial convert Fill <-> Gradient Fill and
Stroke <-> Gradient Stroke in place, keeping shared properties (uids, blend, opacity,
width, dashes, taper, wave) and the item number ("Fill 2" -> "Gradient Fill 2").
- Paths with no fill get one for a fill kind; with no stroke one for a stroke kind.
- Reports fillType/strokeType of the first layer (new pub first_kinds).
Header: the Alt-click kind cycle and the Options popup (kinds, blend, opacity) also
call shape.fillStroke on the selected shape layers; the swatches show the selected
layer's kinds.

Opening the Graph Editor (header button, menu, Shift+F3, control channel)
frames the graphs on its first frame: Fit Selection to View when keys are
selected, else Fit All Graphs to View. Switching value/speed graph refits
too (different units). A selected key now shows its property's graph even
when its layer isn't selected, and Fit Selection on a lone key also frames
its neighbouring keys.

The Timeline footer's zoom-out / zoom-in mountain icons were painted but not
interactive, and the zoom slider only reacted to drags (a click on the track did
nothing) and set the zoom without the whole-comp clamp. The icons are now buttons
(timeline.zoomOutButton / timeline.zoomInButton, one = / - step), the slider
jumps on click, and both go through set_zoom, centred on the CTI.
The layer bars and the Graph Editor share one time zoom (TimelineState start /
pps, as in After Effects); regression tests drive = / -, the buttons, the slider
and the navigator over the control channel in both views and check switching
views keeps the zoom.

Echo, Posterize Time and the other Time effects read the layer at other times with none of
its effects. After Effects renders them with the effects before them: SceneYard "Task
Preparation UI" applies Echo after CC Particle Systems II on black solids, and AE shows the
echoed fireworks over a white page where we echoed the black solids and blacked it out
(Posterize Time after Turbulent Displace, the usual stop-motion setup, depends on the same).
The host already bounds the count to the effects before the one rendering.
Mean abs error vs AE: Task Preparation UI 0.1855 -> 0.0071, Lightbulb Idea 0.0126 -> 0.0102;
the 15 other corpus projects with a Time effect after another effect are pixel-identical.

The particles were composited with the original layer by the Transfer Mode, so the solid an
artist applies them to stayed visible. After Effects 2026 frames show no trace of it:
SceneYard "Burnout matchstick" (a red rectangle around the flame), "Documentary Man Falling"
(a black block over the light), "Task Preparation UI" (black solids under fireworks). The
Transfer Mode now only sets how the particles meet each other.
Mean abs error vs AE: Burnout matchstick 0.0191 -> 0.0130, Documentary Man Falling
0.1177 -> 0.0937 (Task Preparation also needs the next commit).

Every fill and stroke allocated a coverage mask the size of the whole canvas and painted every
canvas pixel, so a vector file cost shapes × canvas area: SceneYard "Retro Desktop Movie
Popups" spent 556 s per frame on one 4001×2501 Illustrator layer (568 s a frame in all).
Each shape now rasterises and paints only inside its device-space bounding box (+1 px of
anti-aliasing) clipped to the canvas; a stroke uses the bounds of its outline. The frame
renders in 5–7 s (bench, no cache). Pixels match the whole-canvas version except a few
anti-aliased edge pixels (float rounding of the re-based transform). A test checks that every
pixel a shape covers lies inside its rectangle, and pins the output.

* Release prep: bump to 0.8.0 and add a Linux riscv64 release build
- release.yml: new `linux-riscv64` job, ported from GridCraft. It cross-compiles on
ubuntu-24.04 against riscv64 libraries from ports.ubuntu.com (the Linux job's X11/Wayland/GL
-dev packages plus ALSA), ships effectcraft-<v>-linux-riscv64.tar.gz, and smoke-tests
effectcraft-cli under qemu-riscv64. The draft-release job now needs it, so its tarball is
uploaded and covered by SHA256SUMS.txt.
- packaging/linux/package.sh: cross-compiles when CROSS_ARCH/CROSS_TARGET/CROSS_COMPILE are set
(cargo --target, the cross strip, the EMULATOR smoke test), as GridCraft's does.
- Version 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0 (cargo xtask version set), Cargo.lock refreshed.
- README and docs/releasing.md list the riscv64 tarball.

* Fix FreeBSD CI: pointer_wrap test harness, wasm32 target, clippy as_chunks
- pointer_wrap tests: the harnesses dropped run_ui's FullOutput with the font atlas upload still
in textures_delta, and epaint 0.36's drop check panics on that in debug builds. Every
pointer_wrap test failed on every platform; FreeBSD is the only CI that runs them. Clear the
delta, as the other UI tests do.
- freebsd.yml: install wasm32-unknown-unknown in the VM. Without it the host plug-in test's build
of examples/plugins/posterize-bands failed (E0463, no std) and the test skipped silently; now
it builds and runs.
- media/convert.rs: chunks_exact(2) -> as_chunks::<2>() (clippy chunks_exact_to_as_chunks,
new in Rust 1.99); same pairs, same dropped remainder.

file.import stores a path as given, so footage imported by the CLI or an
agent as `clip.mp4` was saved relative, and opening the project looked it
up from the working directory. The CLI, started in the project's folder,
found it; the desktop app, started from the Finder, Explorer or a launcher
in another folder, showed and rendered neither its picture nor its sound,
while the Project panel still listed the saved duration.
On open, a relative footage path that doesn't exist from the working
directory but does next to the project file is resolved there (After
Effects also looks for footage relative to the project). Paths that exist
as they are, and absolute ones, are kept.

A text or shape layer's effect bounds are comp-sized (as in After Effects),
but its buffer surrounds only its content, and each effect grows the buffer
itself when it needs room. CC Smear and CC Tiler never did, so a smear was
cut off where the glyphs end and tiles filled only the text's box.
CC Tiler now covers the whole layer rectangle; CC Smear grows by how far it
moves pixels (Reach x From->To), at most to the layer bounds, so footage
layers, whose buffer is their bounds already, are unchanged. CPU and GPU
alike.

Every viewer request spawns a job on the frame pool. A pool thread blocked
inside a render (waiting on a parallel loop's join) runs other pool work
meanwhile, rayon's injected jobs included: the spawn of the next request
started a whole frame render on top of the waiting one. Dragging makes a
new revision, and a new viewer frame, every UI frame, so renders nested
without bound on every thread, each holding its buffers (a large image's
full-resolution copies), until all memory was used. Holding the layer still
makes no new revisions, which is why only moving it did this.
A spawn now drains the queue, and one that lands inside a render on its
thread returns at once; the render below takes the queued jobs when it is
done. Each pool thread renders one frame at a time.

The Scrub helper and the real-properties test discarded FullOutput, so the
first pass' font-atlas texture delta panicked on drop in debug builds —
which is how the FreeBSD CI gate failed. Consume the delta the way the
rest of the crate's egui tests do.
Preserve legacy selection repair, modifier routing, viewer lifecycle and workspace persistence through the shared docking integration. Qualify the complete workspace gate by refreshing the 18 stale Audio Spectrum hashes for the existing linear renderer, with an independent synthetic-tone regression.
`effectcraft-cli mcp` had no way to keep an agent's file access to a folder;
the flags were unknown options. Both now take a folder (repeatable, as in
PhotoCraft): with either given, files are read only under a read or write root
and written only under a write root (none: no writes). Defaults are unchanged.
automation::confine::Confinement checks every engine command the backend runs
(execute_command, command_run, open/save_project, each engine.batch step), in
both headless and bridge mode, before it runs: the file parameters of the
commands that read or write files must be absolute paths inside the roots
(symbolic links resolved through the longest existing ancestor, `..` refused),
as must any other absolute path in a command's parameters. Commands that write
where they aren't told are checked against the target they would write: Save /
Increment and Save the open project's file, renderQueue.render every queued
output (renderQueue.list). Scripts, Execute File, Reveal in Finder, Open Recent
by index, `$N` file-path references in a batch, render_frame/screenshot paths
outside a write root and the bridge's UI-driving tools are refused while
confined. docs/mcp.md describes it.
Test: a confined headless server opens and saves inside its roots and is refused
outside them, for a relative path, `..`, a batch step, a `$N` path, Save to a
read-only root's project, the Render Queue's default output there, a symbolic
link out of the write root, and scripts; the unconfined server still writes
anywhere.

The file dialogs were blocking rfd::FileDialog calls made inside eframe's frame,
that is inside winit's event handler. On macOS the dialog runs a nested modal
event loop there; a file dragged over the window while it was open reached
winit's handler again, which refuses re-entry with a panic across the
Objective-C boundary, aborting the app (Import with Cmd+I, then a drag).
Hooks gains file_dialog_async: a host that sets it shows a command's file dialog
(Import, Open, Save As, Save Frame As, presets, guides, templates, Collect Files,
Relink...) without blocking, and the command runs with the answer on a later
frame (menus::dialog_answered, drained at the start of each frame); a cancelled
dialog runs nothing. The macOS app implements it with rfd::AsyncFileDialog, a
sheet on the window answered when it closes, outside the frame. Other platforms
keep the blocking dialogs (winit queues their re-entrant events), as do the few
panel buttons that pick a file in place (Settings paths, shortcut import/export,
effect file pickers).
Test: with a non-blocking hook, Save As and Save Frame As return at once without
the blocking dialog, the save happens when the answer arrives from another
thread, and a cancelled dialog writes nothing. The macOS sheet itself needs a
manual check (Cmd+I, drag a file over the window, pick or cancel).
