addProperty("ADBE Text Tracking Amount") returned the first property added to the animator, which is
the Tracking Type companion, so the script changed the wrong value. The engine now reports the
requested property's position in the Properties group, and the script returns that property. An
animator's Properties group also finds its properties by their After Effects names, such as
ADBE Text Tracking Amount, which the name table already had in the other direction. A regression
test checks the property returned, its value, and the lookup by name.
Not covered: the Advanced and Wiggly selector children and the Expression amount, which still keep
their own names.

Pro Levels2 keeps its Alpha controls one group down, under Alpha, and a script's
effect.property("Alpha Input White") only searched the effect's direct children, so it returned null.
The lookup now searches the groups nested below the direct children, up to three levels, after the
direct match fails. Direct children keep their priority. A regression test checks the name on the
effect and the same control through the Alpha group.

Opening movies in place (#796) skipped the whole-file bytes #827 read the
track matrix from, so the pool and the probe lost the turn for movies on
disk. stream::movie_header reads just the ftyp and moov boxes (bounded,
positional reads) and both in-place paths derive the orientation from it.

A running script reached `prefs.set` through `app.run` and could turn on
Settings > Scripting & Expressions > Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access
Network (or turn off Warn User When Executing Files), which the File, Socket
and system.callSystem gates then read: the permission the user withheld was
the script's to take.
Commands a script issues now go through `Session::execute_for_script`, which
marks the session as running for a script for the command and everything it
runs (engine.batch, ScriptUI callbacks, scheduled tasks). While it is,
`prefs.set` refuses any change that would leave the Application Scripting
settings different (compared on the resulting settings, so dotted keys,
whole-page objects and batches are all covered), and a script's
`prefs.reset` keeps them as the user set them. Command scripts read from a
file (File > Scripts > Run Script File... with .json/.jsonl) count as
scripts too. The UI, CLI, control channel and MCP still change them.

LayerCollection.addSolid dropped its fifth argument, so layer.newSolid
fell back to the composition's pixel aspect. The wrapper now passes
pixelAspect through; layer.newSolid already validates it.

`effectcraft-cli script FILE` passes the file's text to script.run, which
ran a compiled .jsxbin script as JavaScript and failed with "SyntaxError:
unexpected '@'" at 1:1, while file.runScript already says .jsxbin isn't
supported.
script.run now refuses a script named `.jsxbin` or whose text starts with
the `@JSXBIN@` header, with file.runScript's message (one shared
constant). The check is in the command, so the CLI with or without
--bridge, MCP run_script and the Script Console all report it.
Tests: engine_entry_points (by header and by name), script_file_and_eval
(the CLI exits 1 with the message and no SyntaxError).

Composition Settings ▸ Advanced has both options (they were missing from the model, the
renderer and the dialog):
- Preserve frame rate: nested in another comp, the comp shows only its own frames
(`EvalCtx::nested_time` floors the precomp layer's source time to the nested comp's frame
rate; used for the nested frame, its proxy, aux channels, collapsed transformations and the
viewer's internal wireframes), and the Render Queue renders it at its own rate whatever the
Frame Rate override (`RenderSettings::rate`).
- Preserve resolution: nested in a comp rendered at Half / Third / Quarter, it renders at full
size and the buffer's scale places it.
- `comp.settings {preserveFrameRate, preserveResolution}`, `comp.info` reports them, scripts
read and set `CompItem.preserveNestedFrameRate` / `preserveNestedResolution`, Pre-compose
copies them, and the dialog registers `dialog.comp.preserveFrameRate` /
`dialog.comp.preserveResolution`.

The getters were registered as keySpatialInTangent / keySpatialOutTangent,
so scripts using the documented After Effects names failed with
"TypeError: not a callable function" (setSpatialTangentsAtKey and the
other keySpatial* methods already use AE's names).

Fill's ADBE Fill-0002 is Color (documented numbering); essential.* controls by name with
a listing error; an explicit comp param satisfies a command's active-comp enablement.

Adding a property already in the Essential Graphics panel adds a mirror
(EgKind::Mirror: own name and place, one value in the comp and in every
instance; editing, reverting or pushing either acts on both). A property
control can also drive further properties of the comp (links follow the
main property both ways and take instance values). essential.addMirror,
essential.linkProperty, essential.unlinkProperty; panel badges and menu;
ExtendScript addToMotionGraphicsTemplate(As), canAddToMotionGraphicsTemplate,
motionGraphicsTemplateName, controller count/name and
exportAsMotionGraphicsTemplate.
