Viewer frames render in long-lived Web Workers holding a project replica
(engine::remote: structural JSON diff/patch, Mirror, FrameServer); the
frame cache hands jobs to a RemoteFrames renderer (UI-thread fallback).
Roto Brush propagation runs in a job worker and streams segmentations
back (FrameSeg binary form), relayed to frame workers. Control-channel
wait:true commands whose job is offloaded reply when it ends. The Media
Browser browses a pluggable Browser: the file system on the desktop;
browser storage and File System Access folders on the web.

Depth of field in Advanced 3D comps uses the camera's iris (Fast Rectangle, Triangle to
Decagon, rotation, roundness, aspect, diffraction fringe) and highlight gain/threshold/
saturation through the Classic 3D bokeh kernel. Collapsed precomps in an Advanced 3D comp
add their nested layers as real geometry (meshes, extrusions, cards) lit by the parent;
2D collapsed precomps draw nested 3D layers with the parent's renderer. Text and shape
strokes extrude as bevelled meshes stacked in paint order (model extrude_stacked).

Planes prepared for the GPU carry their depth of field (padding, radius map, levels) and the
bokeh_boost / bokeh_prefix / bokeh_gather kernels blur them where they are drawn, with the CPU's
spans; GPU-vs-CPU agreement tests for iris shapes, highlights, fringe, Fast Rectangle, tilted
planes and a 2D layer with a 3D track matte.

- 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).

- Wave Type: Polygon, Image Contours (source layer channel threshold, pre-blur, tolerance,
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.

Reconciled with main's keyframe labels (same Keyframe::label field; keys.setLabel and
keys.selectLabelGroup from main are kept, M14.5's duplicates removed; Edit ▸ Label on
selected keys delegates to the label helper), proxies (RenderOpts::proxy next to
nested_switches/draft_shadows), offloaded renders (Work carries nested_switches), wasm
audio pump (preview mix rate), variable font axes and mask feather points.

- card3d: shared Camera System (Camera Position with rotations, X/Y position and
Transform Order; Corner Pins with focal length; Comp Camera via EffectHost::comp_scene),
Lighting (Distant / Point / First Comp Light, colour, position, depth, ambient) and
Material (diffuse, specular, highlight sharpness).
- Shatter: Custom Shatter Map (+ White Tiles Fixed), Gradient group, Textures group
(front/side/back modes and layers, colour, opacity) and extrusion side rendering.
- Card Wipe: true 3D cards, Back Layer as a layer parameter (old None/Self popup migrated),
Flip Direction, Position / Rotation Jitter.
- Renderer supplies the comp camera and first light to effects.

Text: text.animatorFontAxes (replaces the stub) lists the layer font's
variation axes (skrifa) or adds an animator property that offsets one axis
(weighted by the selectors, from the axis default); the renderer redraws each
character's outline at its design-space position (cached per location). The
Timeline's Animate: menu lists the font's axes.

Text: vertical type turns Roman characters on their side (CJK stays
upright) unless Standard Vertical Roman Alignment is on; Tate-Chu-Yoko sets
selected characters horizontally in a one-em cell of the column (layer.setText
tateChuYoko / verticalRomanUpright, Character panel toggles). A Left-to-Right
paragraph is now forced LTR instead of auto-detected. The editing caret follows
animators and text on a path (render::text::caret_maps). Lottie export writes
per-character style runs as index-unit range animators.

3D-1: Classic 3D depth of field renders the camera's Iris Shape (Fast
Rectangle box or Triangle…Decagon polygon), Iris Rotation, Roundness, Aspect
Ratio and Diffraction Fringe as a span-kernel gather blur, with Highlight
Gain/Threshold/Saturation boosting highlights first; tilted layers blur
progressively by per-pixel camera depth. Layer > Camera > Link Focus Distance
to Point of Interest / to Layer (expressions) and Set Focus Distance to Layer

Shapes (SHP-2): Stroke Taper (pixels/percent start/end length, width, ease) and
Wave (amount, pixels/cycles, wavelength, phase) rendered as a variable-width
outline; Dash 2/Gap 2/Dash 3/Gap 3 (shape.dashes.add/remove, timeline +/-
buttons); radial gradient Highlight Length/Angle as a focal gradient.
Masks (MSK-1): mask feather points on the Mask Path (mask.featherPoint.*,
Mask Feather tool add/drag), per-point signed radius and tension, rendered
from the signed distance to the path; carried through vertex edits.
Motion blur (LYR-10): Adaptive Sample Limit comp setting; 2D layers take one
sample per pixel of shutter travel between Samples Per Frame and the limit.

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
(upper/lower first, fields become frames at twice the rate), Guess alpha with matte colour,
explicit matte colour, Invert Alpha, Interpret As Linear Light; non-square footage, solids
and precomps are stretched by their pixel aspect in the comp. The four proxy stubs are gone.

sampleImage renders the sampled layer through the evaluating renderer's footage source
(EvalCtx::footage), cached per thread and frame. File > Import reads .json/.csv/.tsv as data
footage kept in the project. expr.errors collects failing expressions for the error bar;
expr.languageMenu lists the categorised Expression Language menu. Marker keys expose
protectedRegion and cue points; colorDepth, timeToFeetAndFrames, comp.activeCamera.

Comps expose controls (properties typed as text/color/slider/checkbox/point/angle/dropdown,
Media Replacement, groups, comments); precomp layers get an Essential Properties group whose
edits override per instance (Push to Comp / Revert); templates export/import as an open ZIP
(manifest.json + project subset + media + poster). Stretched precomps keep protected regions
at their original speed.

Extruded text keeps per-character 3D: each glyph's outline is extruded in its own space and
placed by its animated matrix; shape layers extrude their fill outlines (gradients use their
mid colour). Shadow-map bias scales with the texel footprint at the receiver and the PCF
reach (no acne on curved casters), identically on CPU and GPU. Docs: Advanced 3D in
architecture.md, parity table updated (3D, Text).

Advanced 3D comps render their 3D runs as one scene of world-space triangles: model and
primitive layers (meshes, skinning, animation clips by layer time), extruded text/shape
layers, and textured cards for every other layer with their Material Options. Shading is
physically based in linear light: Cook-Torrance GGX + Lambert for parallel/spot/point lights
(AE falloff and cone), ambient lights, image-based light from an Environment light's layer
(equirectangular; cosine irradiance map + roughness mip chain + split-sum BRDF fit), and
PCF shadow maps (spot/parallel/point cube faces). 2x2 SSAA, depth of field as a gather blur
by circle of confusion, back to the working encoding.
The software rasteriser (depth buffer, top-left rule, perspective-correct, opaque visibility
then sorted transparent blending) is the reference and CI path; effectcraft-gpu implements
Accelerator::raster_3d with a wgpu render pipeline (advanced3d.wgsl) and matches it within
tolerance. Environment layers are hidden from both renderers.

Auto backend keeps comps with 3D layers on the CPU compositor (3D runs are
still CPU-composited; the GPU round-trip made them slower).

Region-of-interest frames render on the CPU path; the viewer keeps main's
frame drawing (Show Channel, exposure, ROI) and reads GPU-composited frames
back. Keeping frames as native egui-wgpu textures stays implemented behind
RenderSource::gpu_display (off).
