Setting the start past the current end, or shortening the composition, stored an inverted interval. Trimming that interval then saved a negative duration.
Edit > Duplicate (Ctrl+D) with a shape group or other shape item
selected in the Timeline duplicated the whole shape layer. As in After
Effects it now duplicates the selected items inside their group, each
copy above its original and numbered on ("Rectangle 1" gives
"Rectangle 2"), and selects the copies. With only layers selected the
layers are duplicated as before.
Test: duplicate_with_shape_items_selected_duplicates_them_in_place,

Edit > Copy with a shape group (or a path, fill, stroke or path
operation) selected in a shape layer's Contents copied the whole layer,
and Paste made a new layer. As in After Effects, Copy now copies the
selected items, Paste puts them into each selected shape layer's
Contents (above its selected item, in that item's group, else on top,
with names kept unique there: "Rectangle 2"), and Cut removes them, so
Cut + Paste moves them. Pasting with no shape layer selected is an
error rather than a new layer. Copying anything else clears the shape
item clipboard, as it does the other clipboards.
Test: shape_contents_copy_cut_and_paste_between_shape_layers,
ctrl_c_and_ctrl_v_copy_a_shape_group_into_another_shape_layer.

- J / K (Go to Previous / Next Keyframe) and Ctrl+Alt+A (Select All Keyframes) act on what the
Timeline shows, as in After Effects: the keys of its revealed properties, layer and comp
markers and the work area (they used every property of the selected or all layers, revealed
or not). The commands take `visible: [{layer, prop}]`, which the Timeline fills in; agents
calling them without it keep the previous behaviour.
- Graph Editor ▸ Auto-Select Graph Type (an "Auto" button, on by default as in After Effects):
the speed graph when every property shown is spatial (Position, Anchor Point…), else the
value graph; choosing Value or Speed turns it off.
- Docs: parity, agents.

- Go to Next / Previous Keyframe (K / J) also stops at the work area's start and end, as in
After Effects.
- With one keyframe selected, the Info panel shows its property, time and value instead of
"1 keyframes selected".

- Keys copied from several layers and pasted onto as many selected layers go first to first,
second to second, as in After Effects; every target used to receive every copied property
(the later ones overwriting the earlier).
- Edit ▸ Paste Reversed Keyframes mirrors the clipboard over its span and pastes it through
`keys.paste`, so it now follows the same rules as Paste: the layer's time stretch, the
selected target property, Hold-only properties, value conversion and roving keys (its own
simplified paste ignored them and kept existing keys' easing on a time collision).

- Double-clicking a keyframe of a numeric property (or its context menu ▸ Edit Value…) opens
the property's value dialog for that key, as in After Effects (it only moved the current
time); other keys still move the current time to them.
- The keyframe context menu has Select Equal Keyframes, Select Previous Keyframes and Select
Following Keyframes (`keys.selectEqual` / `selectPrevious` / `selectFollowing`).
- Roving keys draw as small dots in the Timeline, like After Effects.

- `keys.transform {fromStart}`: each step of a merged drag gives the whole transform since the
drag started and applies to the keys as they were then. Keys squeezed onto one frame on the
way (Alt-drag scaling, the transform box) are no longer merged for good, and a slow
transform-box move, whose per-frame offsets rounded to nothing, now moves the keys.
- Dragging a key in the Graph Editor moves every selected key in time and value (it moved only
the grabbed one), by how far the pointer went from where the button went down (the key no
longer jumps under the pointer); Shift keeps the drag to the time or the value axis.
- Shift+click toggles a key in or out of the selection; Ctrl+click switches Linear ↔ Auto
Bezier and Ctrl+Alt+click toggles Hold, as in the Timeline.
- The transform box and the Timeline's Alt-drag scale send whole-gesture values.

- A drag (keys.move steps sharing a merge key) applies its total offset to the keys as they
were before it (`Session::key_move`, `prop::shift_keys`): dragging over another key of the
property no longer deletes it; only the drop position replaces a key, as in After Effects.
- Keys of time-stretched layers move with the pointer: offsets are applied in comp time and
snapped to comp frames (drags and Alt+Arrow nudges; they moved by the layer-time distance).
- Shift+click toggles a key in or out of the selection (`keys.select {toggle}`); Ctrl+click
switches Linear ↔ Auto Bezier and Ctrl+Alt+click toggles Hold.
- Keys of locked layers can't be selected (clicks, marquee, Select All Keyframes), so nothing
edits them.
- Toggle Hold off returns an eased key to Bezier (it always restored Linear).
- Shift-dragging a key snaps to everything the current time snaps to — other keys, layer in /
out points, layer and comp markers, the work area — and a tooltip shows the key's time and how
many frames it moved.

Following AGENTS.md's Never crash rules for the M3 / M4 additions:
- Cache Frames When Idle panicked (`clamp` with min > max) when the work area was inverted
(start set past the end); an empty work area now has nothing to cache.
- `file.newCompFromSelection`: the sequence overlap times the layer count overflowed for a huge
`overlapDuration` (wrapping to a wrong comp length without overflow checks); negative or
non-finite values fall back to 1 s and the product saturates. The lead item is read with
`get()` instead of indexing.
- Layer Settings' enablement reads the first selected layer with `first()`.
- Regression tests for both (each failed before the fix).

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`.

- Every purge emptied the viewers' RAM preview; Purge ▸ All Disk Cache and Snapshot now leave
it (Image Cache Memory, All Memory, All Memory & Disk Cache, All and All 3D Cache still
clear it).
- The memory purges also drop the decoded footage frames (`FootageSource::purge`, the media
pool's `clear_frames`; decoders stay open), so footage reads decode again.

- `Project::to_file_json` writes `savedBy` (the EffectCraft version) ahead of the project and
checks that the text reads back before anything is written: JSON has no NaN or infinity, so
such a value made a file that saved but could never be opened. Save now fails with a message
and the file on disk is left as it was.
- Opening a project saved by a newer EffectCraft warns that settings this version doesn't know
are lost on saving; `file.open` reports `savedBy`. A file that isn't a project names itself in
the error.
- Increment and Save keeps the extension (`.ecprojx` stays XML); Save a Copy writes XML for
`.ecprojx` / `.xml` paths, like Save As.
- Docs: architecture (document model), parity.

- Pre-compose makes the new composition with the original's pixel aspect, background, motion
blur and frame blending settings and 3D renderer (`Comp::nested_like`); it kept only size,
rate and background.
- File ▸ New Comp from Selection records one undo step (two per item before) and takes each
item's pixel aspect. Several items selected open the New Composition from Selection dialog:
Single / Multiple Compositions, Use Dimensions From, Still Duration (default from Settings ▸
Import ▸ Still Footage), Add to Render Queue, Sequence Layers with Overlap, Duration and
Transition. `file.newCompFromSelection {single, dimensionsFrom, duration, addToRenderQueue,
sequence, overlap, overlapDuration, transition}`; `layer.addItem {duration}` for stills.
- Docs: parity.

- Locked layers can't be selected (Timeline click, Select All, Ctrl+Up/Down; shy layers while
hidden too) and are left alone by Clear/Delete, Arrange, Layer ▸ Transform and Center Anchor
Point, which fail when every target is locked (`commands::unlocked`, `commands::selectable`).
- Deleting a parent unparents its children where they are, in the same undo step: the
pick-whip compensation moved out of `layer.setParent` into `layer::parent_fixes` /
`ParentFix::apply`, which now also handles separated X/Y Position.
- Bring Forward / Send Backward move each selected layer one step (a non-contiguous selection
was squeezed into one block).
- Center In View / Fit to Comp keep a 3D layer's Z (and Fit keeps Scale/Anchor Z); Reset /
Center / Fit / Center Anchor Point work with separated dimensions (`layer::update_position`).
- Duplicate and paste keep parents and track mattes, following the copies when both were
copied; paste dropped them always.
- Docs: agents, parity.

- Layer ▸ Layer Settings on a solid or adjustment layer opens Solid Settings on the layer's
solid (it ran an empty command before): name (renames the layer and the solid), size, Pixel
Aspect Ratio, colour, and "Affect all layers that use this solid". It starts off, as in After
Effects, so changing a solid other layers share gives this layer its own copy.
`layer.settings {pixelAspect?, affectAll?}` → `{layer, solid?}`; `layer.newSolid {pixelAspect?}`.
- Nulls ask for their name; text and shape layers have no settings (the entry is disabled).
- Composition Settings / New Composition and Solid Settings register an automation id for
every control (`dialog.comp.*`, `dialog.solid.*`). Composition Settings takes any typed frame
rate besides the list, and New Composition starts from the last settings used.
- Colour buttons in both dialogs show the stored sRGB colour (`widgets::srgb_color_button`);
egui's linear picker showed it lighter.
- Docs: agents, parity.

Items (footage and comps) carry a proxy rendered in their place at the source's size when
its switch and Render Settings > Proxy Use allow it; Create Proxy queues a half-resolution
render whose post-render action attaches it. Interpret Footage gains Separate Fields
