An empty layers list cleared the composition's markers too (CodeRabbit);
the composition-marker menu uses comp.deleteAllMarkers instead.

Strokes carry an object (0 for older projects, nothing written for 0). The
tracker follows every object in one pass and the mattes are united; the
confidence of a frame is the least sure object's. Object picker in the Layer
panel's bar; roto.options/stroke/clearStrokes/status take or report objects.

Memory attention (1.8e-5 vs PyTorch) and the memory encoder (2.6e-6) as wgpu kernels,
convolution and layer-norm+GELU kernels, VideoModel::load_auto picks the GPU when
there is one (EFFECTCRAFT_SAM2_DEVICE overrides) and falls back to the CPU on any GPU
error; disable_gpu switches it off mid-clip. One process-wide device (several at once
crashed the Vulkan loader). A tracked frame: 4.3 s CPU, 0.7 s on the RX 7900 GRE.
Clips tracked on the GPU match Sam2VideoModel (worst logit error 0.0032).

MaskModel::idle_secs (SAM 2 tracks its use); the engine frees a model idle for
ten minutes when no job runs, keeps the choice, and reloads it before a stroke
or a Propagate needs it. Docs: memory and limits.

The tracked frames lived only in memory, so a saved project lost them: a render in another
process (effectcraft-cli render-frame) segmented the frames again with the classic engine.
A propagate with a tracker now saves the frames it followed with the instance, in a hidden
parameter beside Freeze's (TrackCache: each frame's matte, Refine Edge band, colour models and
confidence, keyed by the inputs it was tracked from).
- They apply while the strokes and span they came from are unchanged, whichever model Settings
choose, so a project renders the same when it reopens, without the model loaded or chosen.
- A stroke or span change makes them stale until the next Propagate. A Propagate replaces them;
with the classic engine it leaves none.
- roto.status reports tracker.saved (the model they came from) and a notice when Settings
choose another model.
- The save at job completion is not an undo step (the frames are a cache of the strokes) and is
skipped if the strokes changed while tracking. Decoding checks the saved size, so a corrupt
project is ignored rather than overflowing.
Object Matte saves nothing. Projects saved before this change open unchanged (the parameter is
filled in on open).
Tests: a saved project reopens with the model unloaded and renders the saved frames through
Chain::ensure; choosing the classic engine keeps them until a classic Propagate replaces them; a
stroke change makes them stale. The SAM 2 tests and the failing-tracker test take the Roto test
lock.

With SAM 2 (or MobileSAM) chosen, a propagate that started before the model had loaded ran
the whole job on the classic engine and reported nothing. The chosen model is now in use
before a job that segments with it starts (Roto Brush 2.0 / 3.0 and Object Matte):
- roto.propagate and the other Roto jobs wait for a load or download under way when called with
wait: true (bounded to 10 minutes). Without wait they refuse while the model is still loading,
and start the load in the background. A model that is not installed, or failed to load, is
refused either way.
- roto.status reports model {selected, installed, active, loading, error} and a notice while the
chosen model is not the one in use. source is "model" for a frame the model segmented on its own,
instead of "classical".
- Auto-propagate keeps edited instances pending while the model loads, and shows errors as toasts
instead of dropping them.
- Docs: what propagate does now; tracked frames live in the session that ran propagate and are not
saved in the project file, so a separate render process does not show them; roto.model.select
lists sam2.1-hiera-tiny.
Tests: a selected model that is not installed refuses to propagate (no weights needed); SAM 2
selected without wait is loaded before propagate (EFFECTCRAFT_SAM2). The SAM 2 tests and the
failing-tracker test take the Roto test lock, since they share the process-wide model slot.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0136kZtXrYo5VUWEFxWduwUD
When the chosen model has a tracker, roto.propagate runs one tracking pass over
the span: prompts from the strokes (a handful of points, which SAM 2 trusts),
the clip tracked both ways, each frame's probability map refined by the same
graph cut with the strokes as hard constraints. Results are cached under their
own keys with a per-frame confidence and an occluded flag; roto.status reports
them (source: tracker|classical). Without a tracker nothing changes.
Real weights: IoU 0.98 on all 21 frames, confidence 0.99.

Selecting a mask group now clears the previous key selection, so Copy/Cut act
on the mask. Pasting masks clears the source mask's vertex selection, so Clear
removes the pasted mask rather than points of the source.

Session::write_output (and refuse_export) is the one place that checks; Save Frame As
(PNG/PSD/EXR), Export Lottie, Save a Copy (+XML), Collect Files, Export Timeline (and its
pre-rendered movies), Export Template, Save Animation Preset, Export Guides and Export
Shortcuts write through it. The control channel's render.frame/ui.screenshot, MCP
render_frame and CLI render-frame --out check first (new query file.checkOutput for the
bridged cases). Save/Save As/auto-save are untouched.

edit.copy {"layer": id} copied the selected mask instead of the layer:
the mask branch only checked for `layers`, but `layer` is an explicit
target too.

Edit > Copy with masks selected copied the layer, so Paste duplicated it
instead of adding the mask. Masks now go to their own clipboard and Paste
appends them, with unique names, to the selected unlocked layers.

File ▸ Export ▸ Adobe Premiere Pro Project… pre-rendered every layer Premiere can't show to
ProRes 4444 with the window waiting: minutes on a large comp, which Windows reports as not
responding. The export now runs as a job (Window ▸ Progress, cancellable, with per-layer
progress) when started from its dialog (`background: true`); without it, the command still
waits and returns the same result.

A slip on a layer with no source handles succeeded with `delta: 0` and nothing else, which
read like a no-op bug. The result now carries `requested` (seconds) and, per layer, `clamped`
when the source could not move that far.
