- Transform: Use Composition's Shutter Angle / Shutter Angle, sampling the transform across
the shutter via EffectHost::params_at (EffectEnv::shutter carries the comp shutter when
motion blur is on); the GPU path defers to the CPU when blurring.
- Glow: Glow Operation (blend modes) and Glow Colors > Arbitrary Map.
- Cartoon: Advanced > Edge Enhancement (shock-filter sharpening / softening).

contour index, source centre) and Mask, rippling outward from the outline (exact signed
distance transform, util::signed_distance).
- Parameters Are Set At Birth via the new EffectHost::params_at; Render Quality; Reflection
off the layer edges; Stroke Profile.

- Fill: Fill Mask, All Masks, Horizontal / Vertical Feather, Invert outside the mask
(GPU falls back to the CPU when masks are used).
- Refine Soft / Hard Matte: Reduce Chatter (temporal steadying of oscillating edges) and
Use Motion Blur (samples, shutter angle, higher quality) from neighbouring frames.

Key Light is registered under a generic name (Keylight is a vendor
trademark); lookup() resolves "Keylight (1.2)" to it. mocha shape reads a
documented JSON shape format (Mocha's own export format is not public).

Liquify stores its strokes as effect data and replays them into a cached
displacement mesh; liquify.stroke / liquify.clear commands for agents.
Rolling Shutter Repair measures motion with effectcraft-track KLT (new
effects -> track same-layer edge).

New L3 crate effectcraft-gpu: a wgpu compute backend for the per-frame
compositing walk (layer transforms with the CPU's nearest/bilinear/bicubic
sampling and minification pre-filter, motion-blur accumulation, track
mattes, Preserve Transparency, layer style passes and knockout, all 38
blend modes as a WGSL port of color::blend, 8/16 bpc clamp+quantise,
colour-space conversions). 3D runs, adjustment and wireframe layers run on
the CPU between GPU steps. GPU effects with the CPU semantics: Gaussian,
Fast Box and Directional Blur, Glow, Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation, Tint,
Fill, Gradient Ramp, Fractal Noise, Drop Shadow, Brightness & Contrast,
Exposure, Invert, Transform (registry gpu badge from effects::GPU_EFFECTS).
render: Backend (Cpu/Gpu/Auto) in RenderOpts, the Accelerator trait and
Renderer::accel, GPU effect chains in the effect stack, hooks for the GPU
walk. Project setting gpu_acceleration (Mercury GPU Acceleration / Software
Only), render.backend command, file.projectSettings renderer. Session and
Render Queue exports carry the accelerator. CLI --gpu and bench --gpu.
Tests compare GPU vs CPU renders (blend modes x bit depths, transforms,
masks, mattes, motion blur, colour management, styles, collapse,
adjustment fallback, every GPU effect) and skip without an adapter.

EffectHost gains self_at (the layer's source + masks + first N effects at
another layer time) and layer_at (another layer at another comp time);
EffectEnv carries the effect's stack index. The renderer serves these via
Renderer::layer_input, cached in the layer cache under input keys (footage
included, keyed by source time) with a depth guard against recursion.
Time effects are TIME_DEPENDENT so processed-layer keys fold in layer
time; layers with time effects and expressions are not cached.
Also registers the Effect > Audio specs (DSP in effects::audio_fx; the
mixdown integration follows in M11.2). Audio effects are skipped by the
video effect pass.

- render: LayerCache (content-keyed processed-layer cache: source -> masks ->
effects, keyed by a hash of the layer's non-transform props evaluated at the
frame time, solid item, switches, scale; time folded in for clock-driven
effects / wiggle paths). Static and transform-only layers render once;
edits only re-render the edited layer. Session + UI frame jobs share it.
- effects: TIME_DEPENDENT list + test that every clock-reading effect is listed.
- raster: affine composite fast path (per-row span clipping, unchecked interior
bilinear, integer-translation copies, inlined Normal blend), checked against
composite_warp_reference; box/Gaussian blur without transposes, two
ping-pong buffers; accumulate_warp so motion blur sums into one buffer
instead of one full-frame image per sub-sample.
- ui: viewer frame is urgent and jumps the prefetch queue; stale-revision jobs
are dropped; paused prefetch waits for the viewer frame; "Frame Render Time"
reports viewer frames only; parallel f32 -> Color32 conversion.
- cli: `frame --bench N` (per-layer/per-effect timings, wall + CPU time) and
`frame --bench-play N` (consecutive frames with/without the layer cache).
- tests: cache transparency (scrub, edits of values/keys/effects/masks/
solids/text/timing), hit/miss accounting, time-dependent effects, demo
cached == uncached, fast warp/blur/accumulate == reference.
