A project can name /dev/zero, a FIFO or a folder as footage; reading those whole
never ended (or ran out of memory). The media layer's whole-file reads (probe,
pool, model side files) and the engine's FsServices::read_file now open the file,
refuse a non-regular one, and reserve its length fallibly, so a sparse file that
claims more than memory is an error too.

file.import without the flag (scripts, agents, files opened from the command line,
the CLI's templates) turned `lockin_line1.png` into a one-frame image sequence.
ImportOptions.sequence defaults to false in After Effects, so picked and dropped files
now import as stills unless `sequence: true`; folders' numbered runs still import as
sequences, and the Import dialog's Sequence checkbox is unchanged.

Settings ▸ Project ▸ Project Files ▸ Save Compact Project Files (off by
default) saves .ecproj files as compact JSON: smaller, faster to save and
open. Off, they stay indented, one value per line, so they read and diff
cleanly in version control. XML copies are not affected; auto-saves were
already compact. The project.ecproj inside exported template and Motion
Graphics template packages is written compact.

A double-click on a creation tool in the Tools bar makes what it draws, as in After Effects: a text layer from the Type tools; from the shape tools a shape that fills the comp - into the selected shape layer's Contents, as a mask on the selected layer (or when Tool Creates Mask is on), or as a new shape layer when neither applies. The shape geometry defaults now match AE: the Rounded Rectangle tool's Roundness is a fixed 20 instead of growing with the drawn size, and the Polygon tool draws five points.
Alt+] (Trim Layer Out Point to Current Time) used to set the Out edge exactly at the playhead; the layer interval is half-open, so the playhead's frame was already gone - nothing showed in the current frame. The edge now lands one frame after the playhead, as in After Effects, so its frame is the layer's last visible one. A layer still keeps at least one frame; Alt+[ (In point) is unchanged.
The fill holds every frame as float RGBA, its hole mask and the filled copy until it
finishes, so a long or large range ran out of memory partway through (22-33 % on the
reports). Planning the fill now compares that lower bound with the system's available
memory and refuses with what it needs and how to shorten the range.

Review of the first commit found three places that still asserted the old cleanup: the UI integration
test (which would have failed CI), docs/agents.md, and the comments on TextEdit::created, layer.newText
and the engine test itself.

Clicking away from a Type-tool layer without typing deleted it, so a click that was meant to place the
text point lost the layer. AE keeps it in the timeline as <空白のテキストレイヤー>, and the layer came from the
user's click rather than being a mistake to clean up.
edit.deselectAll already routes through text.endEdit, so one change covers both paths. The tests that
asserted the old cleanup now assert the layer survives.

CC Composite stays After Effects-pure: its Layer parameter is gone, so
parameter indices match AE again (scripts and expressions that address
parameters by index). The model reference lives in its own effect,
ec.3d.instance3d (3D Channel, CPU, one layer parameter), which replaces
the layer's pixels with the referenced layer's render — alpha included.
A referenced model's solo render is now hashed into the owner's cache key
instead of declining the entry (Bflat, review of #2410): the layer, its
animated values and transform, the mesh item, the comp camera and lights,
draft 3D, the renderer setting and the in/out gate. Covered by a render
test: the copy is cached, served on the second render, and re-rendered
when the camera pans or the model leaves its in/out range.
