Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 5.5 3d5432c318 Never crash: engine without expect() (job polling, commands, menus)
Removes the engine's production expect() calls: background-job polling (camera, mask, roto,
point and warp tracking, render queue) uses let-else / if-let instead of take().expect("job"),
command helpers bind what they checked instead of re-reading it with expect, the menu bar falls
back to an empty tree (logged) instead of expect()ing that a constant parses, and
autotrace/text animator group lookups no longer expect a just-inserted group. perf.rs, the
benchmark harness behind `effectcraft-cli bench --ops`, opts out with a module-level allow.
Test-only unreachable!() calls become panic!() (clippy.toml allows panics in tests). Denies the
panic lints in the crate.

Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 5.5 7537eea85c M13.5: Animate Text > Variable Font Axes
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.

Animation ▸ Animate Text (Enable Per-character 3D, every animator property,
Fill/Stroke Color RGB/Hue/Saturation/Brightness/Opacity submenus, Line Anchor,
Character Value), Add Text Selector ▸ Range/Wiggly/Expression (text.addSelector
now supports all kinds) and Text Animation Presets after Browse Presets, in the
engine menu tree. Stubs replaced: text.perCharacter3d, animatorLineAnchor,
animatorCharacterValue, addWigglySelector, addExpressionSelector.

Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 5.5 fedb5cb715 M9.6: text animation UI (Animate:/Add: pop-ups, flattened animator rows, path popup, presets, menus)
Timeline: Text group 'Animate:' and animator 'Add:' pop-ups (properties and
Range/Wiggly/Expression selectors), selectors/properties listed directly under
each animator, Path Options ▸ Path lists the layer's masks and hides the
other path options until one is chosen. Properties panel Add Animator lists
every animator property plus Enable Per-character 3D, and a Presets menu.
Animation menu: Animate Text, Add Text Selector, Text Animation Presets.
Expression Selector result replaces the selection (no Mode); selector popups
are non-keyframable like AE.
