GPU render passes for CC Particle World / Systems II, Particle Playground,
CC Ball Action, CC Pixel Polly, CC Scatterize and Curl Noise (fx_particles,
chunked multi-pass raster); Shatter wireframe views, Foam extras, Timewarp
with a Matte Layer, strong Warp Fisheye/Twist (CPU f64 inverse map) and
custom .ocio configs no longer fall back to the CPU. CPU refactors pinned by
particle_golden / timewarp_golden / sim_golden hashes.

- gpu: pooled working textures (released once every encoder that could read
them is submitted), shared zero images, reused readback staging buffers,
direct readback into Image; NaN-poisoned scratch images under test and
NaN-aware diffs; validation errors panic under test
- render: AutoPick (per comp / scale / path EWMA of CPU vs GPU frame times,
warm-up and periodic re-probe) behind Backend::Auto; viewer uses it too;
cached adjustment footprints (uploaded once)
- gpu fx_warp: Warp, Bezier Warp, CC Bend It, CC Page Turn, Smear, Reshape,
Color Emboss, Cartoon; sliding-histogram median for large radii; CC Power
Pin perspective < 100
- cli: bench --gpu reports Auto and per-frame upload / readback MB
