The job reports its times when a frame finishes, so with slow frames the
Current Render strip held the same Est. Remain long enough to look
stalled, then jumped. Between reports both times now count on from the
last one, as a clock does (remaining never below zero, a finished job
stands still), and the panel repaints twice a second while rendering.

The menu only carried Mute, so unmuting meant the timeline's context menu.
Add the second row bound to `keys.setMuted {"muted":false}`, its translation
in the ten catalogs, and a test that runs both rows through Session::execute
with undo and redo.
Add a muted flag to Keyframe. Muted keys stay in the Timeline and Graph Editor (dimmed, selectable and movable) but evaluation skips them, so the active neighbours interpolate as if they were not there; auto-Bezier and eases use the active neighbours. When every key is muted the property falls back to its static value.\n\nkeys.setMuted {muted} mutes or unmutes the selected keys in one undo step. The Timeline context menu offers Mute/Unmute Keyframes and the Animation menu has Mute Keyframes. Muted keys have no Bezier handles and motion-path points are dimmed.\n\nLottie export omits muted keys (with a warning) because Lottie has no mute state; scripting keeps seeing them in numKeys/key().\n\nTests: keyframe evaluation (linear, auto-Bezier spatial, all muted), serialization and value replacement, engine command + undo, Lottie export.
Dragging a mask or shape vertex, a tangent or a Pen point against the
edge of the Composition panel now pans the view toward that edge, faster
the further out the pointer is, and the point keeps moving with it, so
zoomed-in rotoscoping no longer stops at the panel edge (as in After
Effects).

Dragging an effect's (or mask's, shape item's, text animator's) row in
the Timeline drew a marquee. The row now drags: a line shows where it
lands among its siblings and the drop runs prop.moveGroup (one undo
step); Escape cancels, as the layer reorder drag does.

Text strokes were always drawn with round joins. The document gets a
Line Join (`lineJoin: miter|round|bevel` in layer.setText / newText),
Miter for new text as in After Effects, Round for documents saved before
it so their look is kept. The 2D and Advanced 3D (extruded) text strokes
use it, expressions' style copies carry it, and the Character panel has
Miter / Round / Bevel buttons under the stroke width.

Gesture::Vertices took the raw drag delta; it now goes through one_axis, as a
Shift-dragged layer's move does, before snapping.

The Timeline's comp tabs had a × on the shown comp only, so closing another
comp meant showing it first. A comp tab the Timeline does not show now shows
its × while the pointer is over it, and clicking it closes that comp without
showing it. Every comp tab keeps the ×'s room, so a tab keeps its width when
it is shown or hovered. Automation: `panel.tab.Timeline.<comp>.close` for
each comp's ×; `panel.tab.Timeline.close` stays for the shown comp's.

The Composition and Layer viewers took every scroll as a zoom, so a trackpad
could not pan. A trackpad's two-finger scroll now pans; a pinch,
Ctrl/Cmd+scroll, a mouse wheel and Alt + a trackpad scroll zoom around the
pointer.
Where the platform names the device (egui's MouseWheelSource, macOS), that
decides. Elsewhere browsers and some high-resolution wheels report a mouse
wheel in points, as a trackpad does, so the unit alone doesn't decide. A
scroll in points pans only once it has shown it is a trackpad: a touch phase,
movement on both axes at once, or a pinch. That holds until a wheel scrolls
in lines. Until then the vertical part zooms and the horizontal part pans.
ui.scroll gains unit (point|line), source (wheel|trackpad) and pinch so
agents can drive both gestures.

Problem: pressing play on frames that still had to render left the playhead
standing still for seconds. The cache bar showed a gap of a few frames right
after the playhead while frames further ahead turned green, and playback
started only once the whole prefetch window was cached. The earlier #595
change (prefetch order, eviction) started the right frames first, but they
still finished last. Cache Frames When Idle left the same late-filling gaps.
Cause: prefetch frames render side by side on one rayon pool, and each
frame's own parallel loops run on that pool too. An idle thread steals a
piece of a frame that is rendering; when that piece waits on a nested
parallel loop, the thread picks up a queued frame job instead and renders
queued frames until the queue is empty. Only then does it return to the
piece it stole, so the frame that piece belongs to cannot finish while
frames keep being queued. The frames started first are the ones just ahead
of the playhead.
Fix: the frames of a playing preview and of Cache Frames When Idle render on
lanes: one single-thread pool per frame thread, one frame at a time each. A
lane's thread only ever works on its own frame, so no frame waits under
another. The shared pool keeps the viewer's frame, which still uses every
thread, and the few frames prefetched around it while paused. Queued frames
change hands when a preview starts or stops, or when the viewer shows one.
Idle caching takes every lane instead of half the pool's threads.
Tests: frames_started_first_are_done_first (a playing preview, idle
caching) and queued_frames_render_when_a_preview_starts_or_stops.

The button row followed each tab's content, so it jumped when switching
between Basic, Advanced and 3D Renderer. The tabs not on show are laid out
unseen each frame and the dialog pads to the tallest, so Cancel and OK stay
put with any font, language or scale.

The viewer lock in a tab group's header drew the same closed padlock in
both states, told apart only by brightness. Unlocked now draws an open
padlock, locked the closed one.

Two corners give a sliver instead of a comp-filling mask when the layer is
rotated by an angle other than a multiple of 90 degrees (CodeRabbit on
#1654): map the comp box's four corners into layer space and use their
bounds.
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.
The empty Composition viewer's button only ran File > Import, so the picked
file landed in the Project panel and no composition was made. file.import
now takes newComp: when the import lands (at once or when its background job
applies), what it made becomes one composition via New Comp from Selection.
