 # FilmCraft Roadmap
 
+- UI.6: Compact Source and Program monitors separate timecodes from view settings and retain Source drag choices. Transport controls use the shared toolbar sizing helper, with overflow actions in an operable More menu and a scrolling fallback at tiny widths.
+- UI.3: Panel tabs, edge splits, tab reordering and floating groups use the shared docking model and drop resolver. Floating geometry is saved with named workspaces while legacy layout JSON remains readable. Dock dividers use bounded shared geometry and keyboard-accessible resize handles. Tools and dock tabs expose actual widget focus, paint focus outlines, and support keyboard traversal/activation. Control input reaches focused widgets in background windows; optional input isolation supports unattended validation. Existing workspace trees and saved layout formats are retained.

-//! Windows graphics instance configuration, applied before wgpu can initialize any driver.
+//! Graphics start-up: the wgpu backends and adapter the window is created with, and the fallback
+//! when a start fails (docs/gaps.md G4, #820).
+//!
+//! A graphics driver can crash inside wgpu instance or device creation (Intel's Vulkan driver
+//! `igvk64.dll`, #512 #413; AMD's OpenGL driver `atio6axx.dll`, #477), where no Rust error
+//! handling runs, so every launch died the same way until the user set `WGPU_BACKEND` by hand.
+//!
+//! # When a start counts as failed
+//! The data folder keeps the mode to start with and the failed starts in a row in it
+//! ([`STATE_FILE`]). Each start also leaves its own attempt file (`graphics-start/<pid>-<n>.json`,
+//! so concurrent launches never write the same file) that is removed once the window has painted
+//! two frames, when the process ends normally, or [`DEATH_WINDOW`] after launch, whatever happened
+//! by then. An attempt file found by a later launch therefore means a process that died within
+//! [`DEATH_WINDOW`] of its start without painting: a driver crash, typically. A start that hangs,
+//! or is force-quit or crashes later, is not counted; neither is another instance that is still
+//! starting (its attempt is younger than [`DEATH_WINDOW`] and is left alone). After
+//! [`FAILURES_TO_MOVE_ON`] such failures in a row in the same mode, the launch moves on to the next
+//! [`Mode`] of the platform's [`LADDER`] and keeps it; a start that paints resets the count. A
+//! start-up error that wgpu does report (no adapter, device creation failed) moves on at once,
+//! within the same process.
+//!
+//! # Getting back
+//! A fallback mode shows a notice with a reset button in the window (`graphics.notice.reset`,
+//! [`GraphicsStart::reset_to_default`]); `--graphics default` does the same from the command
+//! line, and `--graphics dx12|software` picks a mode by hand. An explicit `WGPU_BACKEND` leaves
+//! the saved state alone: the user is in charge.
+//!
+//! All files are written beside and renamed into place, so a reader never sees half a file; two
+//! instances updating [`STATE_FILE`] at the same moment can lose one update (a failure counted
+//! once less, a confirmation repeated by the next start), never corrupt it.

+# filmcraft-avi
+
+A clean-room AVI demuxer, written from Microsoft's published AVI RIFF file reference and the
+OpenDML AVI File Format Extensions 1.02. Layer L0: no dependencies beyond `std`, no `unsafe`, builds
+for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`. No FFmpeg, libavformat or other AVI implementation was read; ffmpeg
+and ffprobe are used only as external **test oracles**.
+
+## API
+
+```rust
+use filmcraft_avi::{open, StreamKind};
+
+let file = open(&bytes)?;                    // any ByteSource: a slice, a file, a web Blob…
+for (i, s) in file.streams.iter().enumerate() {
+    match s.kind {
+        StreamKind::Video => println!("{:?} {} fps", s.video.as_ref().map(|b| b.compression), s.rate as f64 / s.scale as f64),
+        StreamKind::Audio => println!("format 0x{:04x}", s.audio.as_ref().map_or(0, |w| w.format_tag)),
+        _ => {}
+    }
+    let first = file.read_chunk(&bytes, i, 0)?;   // frame data, on demand
+}
+```
+
+## What it reads
+
+| Part | |
+|---|---|
+| Headers | `avih`; per stream `strh`, `strf` (`BITMAPINFOHEADER`, `WAVEFORMATEX` / `WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE`), `strn` |
+| Index | OpenDML `indx` super index → `ix##` standard indexes (field indexes too), else `idx1` (offsets relative to `movi` or absolute), else a scan of the `movi` lists |
+| Large files | `RIFF AVIX` extensions: through the OpenDML index, or scanned after `idx1`, which only covers the first RIFF |
+| Key frames | from the index; a scan marks every chunk and says so (`keyframes_known`) |
+| Damage | sizes clamped to the file (a cut-off recording opens with what is there), `rec ` lists nested at most 3 deep, tables bounded by what the file could hold |
+
+`filmcraft-codecs` maps the streams onto decoders (`AviSource`): Motion JPEG, H.264, HEVC and
+uncompressed RGB / YUV video; PCM, MP3, MP2 and AC-3 audio.
+
+## Tests
+
+`cargo test -p filmcraft-avi`: hand-built files for every index path (`idx1` relative and absolute,
+`rec ` lists, OpenDML standard indexes, a scan), truncation, and every single-byte mutation and
+truncation of them (never a panic). `tests/ffmpeg_oracle.rs` checks ffmpeg-made files (Motion JPEG,
+H.264 with B-frames, BGR24, YUY2; PCM and MP3) against ffprobe; the ignored `opendml_file_past_1_gb`
+checks a 1.16 GB OpenDML file with `AVIX` extensions.

+
+Clean-room DNG and CinemaDNG camera RAW decoder in pure Rust. Layer L0: depends only on
+`thiserror` and (optional, feature `threads`, default on) `rayon`. Builds for
+`wasm32-unknown-unknown`; no `unsafe`. Implemented from the public specifications below only; the
+source of no other raw decoder (dcraw, LibRaw, rawspeed, darktable, RawTherapee, FFmpeg, the Adobe
+DNG SDK…) was read. LibRaw's `unprocessed_raw` sample program is run as an external test oracle
+when it is installed, never linked.

+## API
+
+```rust
+if filmcraft_dng::sniff(&bytes) {
+    let dng = filmcraft_dng::Dng::parse(&bytes)?;
+    let info = dng.info()?;     // size after crop, bits, CFA or LinearRaw, frame rate, time code, camera, reel
+    let raw = dng.raw()?;       // the stored samples (u16), bit-exact
+    let img = dng.develop()?;   // linear Rec. 709 RGBA f32 (alpha 1), info.width × info.height
+}
+let img = filmcraft_dng::decode(&bytes)?; // parse + develop
+```
+
+`writer` (feature `writer`, tests only) writes synthetic DNGs: uncompressed at any depth or
+lossless JPEG with any predictor, strips or tiles, either byte order, an optional preview IFD with
+the raw image in a SubIFD, and arbitrary extra tags.
+
+## What it decodes
+
+- **Container:** little and big-endian TIFF, IFD chains and SubIFDs (at most 64 IFDs, 4 levels,
+  cycles end the walk). The main image is the largest NewSubFileType 0 IFD with a CFA or LinearRaw
+  photometric interpretation.
+- **Raw data:** 1–16-bit unsigned samples, uncompressed (8 and 16-bit in file byte order, other
+  depths packed most significant bit first) or lossless JPEG (all predictors 1–7, 1–4 components,
+  point transform, restart intervals of whole lines), in strips or tiles; tiles decode in
+  parallel.
+- **Processing:** ActiveArea, LinearizationTable, per-site black levels with row / column deltas,
+  per-sample white levels, as-shot white balance (clipped highlights stay neutral), demosaic
+  (Malvar–He–Cutler for 2 × 2 Bayer patterns of any phase, bilinear for other patterns up to
+  8 × 8), DefaultCrop, the DNG colour model to XYZ D50 and Bradford to linear Rec. 709, and
+  BaselineExposure. LinearRaw (3 samples) skips the demosaic; monochrome LinearRaw is grey.
+- **Output:** scene-linear Rec. 709 floats: a white the sensor clipped is 1.0 × 2^BaselineExposure;
+  brighter values are kept (FilmCraft's compositor works in linear float). Negative results of the
+  colour matrix are clipped to 0. Black levels scale per pixel by (white − black).
+- **White balance without a ForwardMatrix** follows the specification: the camera matrix takes the
+  values to XYZ and a Bradford adaptation moves the as-shot white to D50. Decoders in the dcraw
+  tradition (LibRaw included) scale the camera channels instead, so under a white far from D65
+  their saturated colours differ from ours (greys agree).
+- **Speed:** a 4096 × 2160 12-bit frame develops in about 80–100 ms on 16 threads (raw decode
+  ~15 ms, the rest demosaic and colour).
+
+## Not supported (errors name them)
+
+Lossy JPEG and JPEG XL DNG, deflate / floating-point DNG (HDR merges), planar raw data, colour
+filters other than red / green / blue (CMY, RGBE), non-rectangular CFA layouts, opcode lists
+(warp, vignette, bad pixels: ignored), DefaultScale and BestQualityScale (non-square pixels are
+shown square), DNG 1.6 IlluminantData for illuminant 255 (calibration 1 is used), lossless JPEG
+restart intervals that split a line, and MXF-wrapped CinemaDNG.
+
+## Tests
+
+- `tests/roundtrip.rs`: container parsing in both byte orders with and without a preview IFD;
+  uncompressed samples bit-exact at 8–16 bits, strips and tiles; lossless JPEG bit-exact for every
+  predictor and component count, full-swing 16-bit data (every difference category, SSSS = 16),
+  restarts and point transform; developed values against hand-computed ones (black / white,
+  white balance, ForwardMatrix, BaselineExposure, ActiveArea, DefaultCrop, LinearRaw); CinemaDNG
+  FrameRate / TimeCodes / ReelName; hostile files (every truncation, 12 000 mutations under
+  `catch_unwind`, cyclic IFDs, huge sizes, bad offsets, zero denominators).
+- `tests/oracle_libraw.rs`: LibRaw's `unprocessed_raw` reads the same samples from our synthetic
+  files (uncompressed 8–16-bit in both byte orders, lossless JPEG predictors 1–7 with one and two
+  components). Skipped when it is not installed.
+- Unit tests: matrix maths, the published sRGB matrix, McCamy temperatures, calibration
+  interpolation, sRGB / ForwardMatrix cameras mapping to themselves, demosaic on flat fields
+  (every Bayer phase), ramps and edges, black / white / linearisation maths.

+//! Lossless JPEG decoding: ITU-T T.81 | ISO/IEC 10918-1 Annex H (process 14, Huffman coded,
+//! "SOF3"), the compression DNG calls lossless JPEG (Compression = 7).
+//!
+//! - Frame header (B.2.2): 2–16-bit precision, 1–4 components, each sampled 1×1.
+//! - Huffman tables (B.2.4.2, Annex C) decoded with a 9-bit lookup and the F.2.2.3 code-length
+//!   walk for longer codes.
+//! - Scan header (B.2.3): one scan holding every component, predictor `Ss` 1–7 (Table H.1) and
+//!   point transform `Al`.
+//! - Prediction (H.1.2.1): the first line (and the first line after a restart) predicts from the
+//!   left neighbour with 2^(P − Pt − 1) for its first sample; later lines predict their first
+//!   sample from the one above and the rest with the selected predictor. Differences are added
+//!   modulo 2^16 (H.1.2.2) and the SSSS = 16 category is 32768 with no extra bits.
+//! - Restart intervals (DRI, RSTn) that span whole lines.

+//! Raw samples to a linear Rec. 709 picture, in the order of the DNG specification's chapter 5
+//! ("Mapping Raw Values to Linear Reference Values") and chapter 6 (colour):
+//!
+//! 1. ActiveArea: only the active (unmasked) sensor area is used; black levels, the CFA pattern
+//!    and the default crop are relative to its top left corner.
+//! 2. LinearizationTable maps each sample.
+//! 3. The black level (BlackLevel over its BlackLevelRepeatDim pattern, plus BlackLevelDeltaH for
+//!    the column and BlackLevelDeltaV for the row) is subtracted and the range up to WhiteLevel
+//!    scaled to 0–1 (clipped there).
+//! 4. White balance: each sample is divided by the camera neutral of its colour and clipped at
+//!    1, so highlights the sensor clipped stay neutral.
+//! 5. A CFA is demosaiced ([`crate::demosaic`]).
+//! 6. DefaultCropOrigin / DefaultCropSize cut the picture.
+//! 7. The colour matrix of [`crate::color`] takes the white-balanced camera values to linear
+//!    Rec. 709 (including BaselineExposure); negative results are clipped to 0.

+# filmcraft-flac
+
+A clean-room FLAC encoder (Free Lossless Audio Codec, [RFC 9639](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9639)),
+written from the RFC. Layer L0: it depends only on `filmcraft-bitstream` and `thiserror`, has no
+`unsafe`, and builds for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
+
+No libFLAC, FFmpeg or other FLAC implementation was read or ported. ffmpeg is used only as an
+external **test oracle** (decoding our streams). Decoding FLAC in FilmCraft is still done by the
+symphonia bootstrap decoder in `filmcraft-codecs`.
+
+## API
+
+```rust
+use filmcraft_flac::{Encoder, EncoderConfig, STREAMINFO_OFFSET};
+
+let mut cfg = EncoderConfig::new(48_000, 2, 24);   // rate, channels (1–8), bits (8–24)
+cfg.level = 8;                                     // 0 fastest … 8 smallest; 5 by default
+let mut enc = Encoder::new(cfg)?;
+let mut file = enc.header();                       // fLaC + STREAMINFO + VORBIS_COMMENT (vendor)
+file.extend(enc.encode(&[&left, &right])?);        // planar i32 samples, any chunk size → whole frames
+file.extend(enc.finish());                         // the last, shorter frame
+// frame sizes, total samples and MD5 are only known now: patch STREAMINFO (or seek back in a file)
+let at = STREAMINFO_OFFSET as usize;
+file[at..at + 34].copy_from_slice(&enc.streaminfo());
+
+// MP4 / QuickTime (`fLaC` + `dfLa`): one frame per sample, the STREAMINFO body in `dfLa`
+let frames: Vec<Vec<u8>> = enc.encode_frames(&[&left, &right])?;   // each a full block
+let last_len = enc.pending_samples();                               // duration of the frame finish() writes
+```
+
+## What it writes
+
+| Part | |
+|---|---|

+## Tests
+
+`cargo test -p filmcraft-flac`: CRC check values, the RFC 1321 MD5 suite, frame-number coding,
+predictor round trips, and `tests/ffmpeg_oracle.rs`, which decodes every stream with ffmpeg and
+requires every sample back exactly, no decoder errors, and the STREAMINFO MD5 equal to ffmpeg's
+hash of the decoded audio. It covers music-like, sweep, noise, full-scale square, silence and click
+signals; 8/16/20/24-bit; mono, stereo and 5.1; common and odd sample rates; block sizes 16 to 65535;
+and every level. Skipped (with a `SKIPPED` line) without ffmpeg.

+//!
+//! Lossless at every compression level; the level (0–8) only trades encoding time for size.

+//! Animated images (APNG and animated GIF) as movie clips (#402).
+//!
+//! The still decoders read only the first picture of these files. [`open`] decodes every frame
+//! instead, composited onto the full canvas by the `image` crate (APNG blend and dispose operations,
+//! GIF disposal methods), and keeps them with their timing:
+//!
+//! - each frame lasts its own delay; GIF delays of 10 ms or less play as 100 ms and APNG delays
+//!   under 10 ms as 10 ms, as browsers do, so a zero delay never makes a zero-length frame;
+//! - consecutive identical frames are merged (one picture, the sum of their delays);
+//! - the clip is one pass through the animation (the file's loop count is not applied);
+//! - transparency is kept: the source reports alpha when any frame has a pixel that is not fully
+//!   opaque.
+//!
+//! The file is hostile: decoding stops at [`MAX_FRAMES`] frames or [`MAX_DECODED_BYTES`] of
+//! pictures (the clip then ends there), and a frame that fails to decode ends the animation at the
+//! frames decoded before it. A file that turns out not to be animated (one frame, or no frame that
+//! decodes) is left to the still decoders, which is what happened to every animated image before.

+
+Clean-room MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 Audio Layer I and Layer II decoder (MP1 / MP2) in pure Rust. Layer L0:
+depends only on `filmcraft-bitstream` and `thiserror`. Builds for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`; no
+`unsafe`. No GPL/LGPL code (FFmpeg, libmad, mpg123, twolame) was consulted; FFmpeg (and twolame,
+when installed) are used only as external fixture generators and test oracles.
+
+## Why
+
+symphonia (the bootstrap decoder for MP3 and others) rejects every Layer II frame whose bit rate /
+channel mode combination ISO/IEC 11172-3 does not allow: mono above 192 kbit/s and stereo below
+64 kbit/s. ffmpeg writes such streams by default (mono MP2 is 384 kbit/s unless asked otherwise),
+so those tracks played as silence in every container (#809).
+
+## Specification
+
+ISO/IEC 11172-3:1993: §2.4.1 bit stream syntax (header, Layer I and Layer II audio data),
+§2.4.2 semantics, §2.4.3.1 frame length, §2.4.3.2 synthesis subband filter (Figure A.2),
+§2.4.3.3 Layer I and §2.4.3.4 Layer II decoding; Annex B: Table 3-B.1 scalefactors (computed as
+2^(1 - i/3)), Table 3-B.2a-d Layer II allocation tables, Table 3-B.3 synthesis window (the 257
+coefficients `D[0..=256]`, exact multiples of 2⁻¹⁶, the rest from the prototype's symmetry;
+a unit test checks the typed table is the smooth prototype), Table 3-B.4 quantization classes.
+ISO/IEC 13818-3: the lower sampling frequencies (16 / 22.05 / 24 kHz), their bit rate tables and
+the Layer II allocation table B.1 (its rows confirmed against FFmpeg's decode).
+
+## API
+
+```rust
+let mut dec = filmcraft_mpa::Decoder::new();
+let h = filmcraft_mpa::parse_header(frame)?;   // layer, rate, mode, frame size
+let out = dec.decode(frame)?;                  // h.samples() per channel (384 or 1152)
+dec.reset();                                    // before decoding from another position
+```
+
+## Decoder
+
+- Layer I and Layer II; mono, stereo, dual channel and joint (intensity) stereo with every bound;
+  MPEG-1, MPEG-2 lower sampling frequencies and the unofficial MPEG-2.5; with or without CRC.
+- Layer II table selection by sampling frequency and bit rate per channel, with the ranges of
+  Table 3-B.2 taken as open-ended so the disallowed combinations decode the way encoders write
+  them (mono 384 kbit/s uses table a at 48 kHz, b at 44.1 / 32 kHz; stereo 32 / 48 kbit/s uses
+  c, or d at 32 kHz).
+- Requantization `(2v + 1 - steps) / steps` (the standard's `C · (s''' + D)` for every class),
+  grouped 3-, 5- and 9-step codewords, scalefactor selection information.
+- Output: planar f32 at full scale ±1.
+- Errors (forbidden allocation, reserved header fields, data running past the frame) return
+  `Err`; garbage never panics (unit fuzz test and damaged-frame oracle test).
+
+## Accuracy (vs FFmpeg as an external oracle)
+
+`tests/oracle.rs`, worst channel SNR against FFmpeg's float decoder. FFmpeg's own fixed-point
+decoder agrees with its float decoder to ~77 dB (the error sits at the 16-bit LSB); the test
+requires 70 dB, and a wrong table entry or misread field costs tens of dB.
+
+| Stream | SNR |
+|---|---|
+| Layer II mono 48 kHz, FFmpeg's default 384 kbit/s (not allowed by 11172-3) | 77.1 dB |
+| Layer II mono 44.1 kHz 320 kbit/s pink noise (not allowed) | 72.9 dB |
+| Layer II stereo 48 kHz 32 kbit/s (table c; not allowed) | 83.2 dB |
+| Layer II stereo 48 kHz 192 kbit/s, 44.1 kHz 256 / 96 kbit/s, 32 kHz 128 kbit/s | 83.3-83.6 dB |
+| Layer II mono 32 kHz 48 kbit/s (table d) | 76.9 dB |
+| Layer II MPEG-2: stereo 24 kHz 160 kbit/s, mono 22.05 kHz 64 kbit/s, stereo 16 kHz 32 kbit/s | 76.9-83.5 dB |
+| Layer II joint stereo and dual channel from twolame (when installed) | 83.4-83.6 dB |
+| Synthetic valid random frames: Layer I mono / stereo / dual / joint stereo at every bound, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2; Layer II joint stereo at every bound and dual channel with every allocation table | 74.1-80.0 dB |
+
+No installed encoder writes Layer I, so Layer I is checked on synthetic frames (random
+allocations, scalefactors and samples) that FFmpeg decodes as it would any stream. Through
+`filmcraft-codecs` (`tests/mpeg_oracle.rs`), mono 384 kbit/s MP2 in MPEG-TS, Matroska and a raw
+`.mp2` file is within 3.1·10⁻⁵ of FFmpeg's decode.
+
+## Gaps
+
+- Layer III is not decoded here (symphonia does it); `parse_header` reads its headers.
+- The free format (bit rate index 0) is refused: its frame length is only known from the next
+  sync word.
+- The CRC is read, not checked; ancillary data is skipped.

+## Pane layout controls
+
+Dock transactions and pointer targets use `craft-ui::docking`; bounded split geometry and
+keyboard-accessible resize handles use `craft-ui::layout`. FilmCraft adapts its existing saved
+dock tree and panel identities to the shared model. Panel tabs or their header grip can move
+between tab groups, split at an edge, reorder, or float when released with Cmd/Ctrl. Floating
+panels move by their empty header and resize from the bottom-right corner. Timeline sequence
+tabs retain their sequence-opening, closing and horizontal reorder behavior; the header grip
+moves the Timeline panel. Workspace saves retain floating groups alongside the legacy layout
+JSON, and workspaces without floating data still load. Automation IDs and workspace commands
+remain the integration boundary.
+
+Tools and dock tabs expose their actual egui widget IDs, paint keyboard focus, and support
+Tab/Shift-Tab traversal and Space/Enter activation. Control-injected keys can reach focused
+widgets in a background window. The optional `--control-input-only` native launch mode isolates
+automation from native widget/menu input; `ui.inspect` reports native and effective focus
+separately. Focus and input-ownership regressions cover document/playhead preservation.
+
+Compact monitor layouts separate the current and duration timecodes from zoom, resolution and
+settings. Source video/audio drag choices retain their existing placement behavior. Transport
+buttons use `craft-ui::layout::fit_toolbar`; commands beyond the available width remain available
+through More, including their selected state and Source/Program routing. A scrolling fallback
+retains all commands if even More cannot fit. `monitor_geometry` checks the painted readouts,
+control bounds, overflow actions and Source drag payloads across monitor widths and themes.

+# of the trade (render, preset, mixer, gain, ripple, roll, slip, slide, snap, scrub, offline) stay
+# as they are. Decimal fractions in descriptions use a comma (29,97 fps). This catalog has the same
+# entries as `es.tsv` plus the native macOS Settings menu; strings added later show in English until
+# they are translated. A native-speaker review is welcome.

+//! Native file dialogs that don't stop the frame loop (#260).
+//!
+//! A dialog is asked for with [`FilmcraftApp::pick`]: what to show ([`FileDialog`]) and what to do
+//! with the chosen paths. A host that can show dialogs without blocking ([`HostHooks::run_dialog`]:
+//! the desktop app on Linux, where the XDG portal call would otherwise hold the UI thread until the
+//! user chooses, and GNOME offers to force-quit the window after about five seconds) gets the
+//! dialog and answers on a channel; the frame loop keeps running, and the continuation runs on the
+//! frame the answer arrives ([`FilmcraftApp::poll_native_dialog`]). Without it the host's
+//! synchronous pickers (`pick_files`, `pick_save_as`, …) are called and the continuation runs at
+//! once, as before: headless tests, the control channel's stand-ins and other hosts are unchanged.
+//!
+//! Two entry points:
+//! - [`FilmcraftApp::pick`] for menu and control-channel commands: with the synchronous pickers
+//!   the continuation runs at once and its result is the command's (agents and tests see what
+//!   they saw before); with the runner the command answers `{"dialog": "open"}`.
+//! - [`FilmcraftApp::pick_ui`] for a panel's Browse… / Import… / Export… button: the continuation
+//!   always runs at the start of a later frame, before the panels draw, since a panel works on a
+//!   copy of its state that it writes back at the end of the frame. It writes into the dialog's
+//!   stored state (`app.ui.…`, an egui temporary); when the user has closed that dialog meanwhile
+//!   there is nothing to write into and the path is dropped.
+//!
+//! One dialog is open at a time; asking for another one meanwhile is refused.

+//!
+//! Fonts: like [`crate::cjk`], the craft-fonts faces for these scripts (`Arab`, `Hebr`) become the
+//! last fallbacks of every UI font family. A build without them looks up one installed face per
+//! script once (Noto Sans Arabic, SF Arabic, Segoe UI…) and reuses it across theme changes.
+//!
+//! Reading order: egui shapes each font run with harfrust, so a word's letters join and run right
+//! to left, but it places the runs left to right in logical order with no bidi pass: in
+//! "كلمة أخرى" the second word comes out first. [`Lines`] lays out document text (captions) in
+//! reading order for display. Lines are broken on the logical text as egui wraps it, each line's
+//! runs are put in visual order by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (UAX #9, as the text engine
+//! does for titles), and every right-to-left word becomes its own layout section, which egui's
+//! shaper draws right to left. Text being edited keeps egui's logical order: `TextEdit` maps the
+//! caret by character index, so a reordered galley would put it in the wrong place.

+//! (`HostHooks::run_dialog`) the test answers by hand: while a dialog is open the app keeps
+//! answering requests and drawing, and the chosen path is used when the answer arrives (a menu
+//! command, a panel's field), cancelled or lost dialogs do nothing, one dialog is open at a time,
+//! and a path for a dialog the user has closed meanwhile goes nowhere. Also: with the synchronous
+//! pickers (no runner) a panel's Browse… still fills its field.

+# filmcraft-vp8
+
+Clean-room, pure-Rust (no `unsafe`) VP8 decoder, implemented from RFC 6386, *VP8 Data Format and
+Decoding Guide*, sections 1-19. It is an L0 crate: it depends only on `thiserror`, and builds for
+`wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
+
+The constant tables (coefficient and mode probabilities and their update probabilities, the
+subblock mode contexts, quantizer lookups, MV probabilities, interpolation filters...) were
+extracted from the text of the RFC by [`tools/extract_tables.py`](tools/extract_tables.py) into
+`src/spec_tables.rs`; the script cuts the text at section 20, so nothing is read from the
+reference decoder attached to the RFC. No code was taken or ported from libvpx, FFmpeg or any
+other decoder; ffmpeg (with libvpx) and vpxenc are used only as external fixture generators and
+test oracles.
+
+## Status
+
+| Area | Status |
+|---|---|
+| Frame tag, key frame header, frame header (segmentation, loop filter type / level / sharpness, deltas, partitions, quantizer indices, reference updates and sign bias, probability updates) | done |
+| Boolean decoder, tree decoding, probability persistence across frames and `refresh_entropy_probs` | done |
+| Intra prediction: 16x16 and chroma modes, the ten 4x4 subblock modes, key frame subblock mode contexts, edge rules | done |
+| Inter prediction: last / golden / altref with sign bias, NEAREST / NEAR / ZERO / NEW / SPLIT (all four partitionings), MV decoding and clamping, six-tap and bilinear filters, full-pixel chroma (bitstream versions 0-3) | done |
+| Coefficient tokens (1-8 partitions), dequantization (frame and segment quantizers), inverse WHT and DCT | done |
+| Normal and simple loop filters, per-macroblock levels from segments and reference / mode deltas | done |
+| Golden / altref copies, hidden (altref) frames, frame size changes at key frames | done |
+| Damaged input: errors (never panics), decoding resumes at the next key frame | done |
+| Upscaling hints of the key frame header (9.1) | not applied (reported in `KeyframeInfo`) |
+
+Bit-exact with libvpx on the 62 libvpx VP8 test vectors checked (`vp80-00-comprehensive-001` to
+`018` and the `vp80-01` to `vp80-06` intra, inter, segmentation, partition, sharpness and small
+size vectors; `tests/vectors.rs` checks them when they are present) and on the generated fixtures
+of `tests/conformance.rs`.
+
+## API
+
+```rust
+use filmcraft_vp8::Decoder;
+
+let mut dec = Decoder::new();
+for (pts, frame) in frames {      // one IVF frame / WebM block / MP4 sample each
+    let skippable = dec.is_disposable(frame); // could this frame be left out (catching up)?
+    if let Some(pic) = dec.decode(frame, pts)? {
+        // pic.width / pic.height, pic.chroma_width / chroma_height,
+        // pic.y / pic.u / pic.v: tight 8-bit 4:2:0 planes, pic.pts, pic.key,
+        // pic.color_space (0: BT.601 YUV)
+    }
+    // None: a hidden (altref) frame
+}
+dec.reset(); // forget the reference frames (seek): decoding resumes at the next key frame
+let stats = dec.stats(); // frames, key frames, hidden frames
+
+// Random access points
+let key: bool = filmcraft_vp8::is_keyframe(frame);
+let info: Option<filmcraft_vp8::KeyframeInfo> = filmcraft_vp8::keyframe_info(frame);
+```
+
+`filmcraft-codecs` wires the decoder into Matroska / WebM (`V_VP8`, including the alpha layer of
+transparent WebM in `BlockAdditional`) and MP4 (`vp08`). VP8 has no colour signalling: pictures are
+BT.601, studio swing (RFC 6386 9.2), unless the container's `Colour` says otherwise. VP8 has no
+superframes either: a hidden altref frame is a block of its own, and the WebM reader takes a
+request for its time as a request for the shown frame that follows it.
+
+## Tests and tools
+
+- `cargo test -p filmcraft-vp8`: unit tests, bit-exactness against libvpx on generated fixtures
+  (`target/fixtures/vp8-tests`, skipped without ffmpeg / libvpx), robustness (corrupted,
+  truncated, reordered and random input), and the libvpx test vectors when present in
+  `target/fixtures/vp8/conformance` (or `$VP8_TEST_VECTORS`).
+- `cargo run --release -p filmcraft-vp8 --example vp8dec in.ivf out.yuv`: decode to raw I420.
+- `cargo run -p filmcraft-vp8 --example fuzz -- <iterations> <seed> files.ivf...`: decode
+  randomly damaged variants of IVF files (in a debug build, so overflow panics too) and report
+  any panic.

Playback starts the pre-roll before it (C = max(0, R − pre-roll)) and the input is captured from C. When the UI's audio clock really starts, `audio.voiceover.sync` restarts the capture there. `audio.voiceover.stop` keeps the audio from R to min(stop, Out), writes a mono 32-bit float WAV `<Name> <n>.wav` (Scratch Disks ▸ Captured, else next to the project, else the data or temporary directory), imports it and overwrites it onto the record track at R as one undo step. The record track is the given one, else the record-armed one, else the first targeted one. Input goes through the `AudioInput` trait: cpal in the desktop app (`apps/filmcraft/src/audio_in.rs`, on its own thread), and `SyntheticInput` headless, which produces exactly the samples the timeline asks for so recordings land sample-accurately. Voice-Over Record Settings (Source, Input channel, Name, Countdown Sound Cues, Pre-/Post-roll) are preferences (`voiceOver`). The track header's microphone records or stops, and a right-click opens the settings dialog. Countdown beeps (1 kHz, 100 ms, each whole second of pre-roll and at R) are mixed into playback, an overlay counts down, and playback stops at Out + post-roll.

+Invalid source/target identities and non-finite or out-of-range geometry return an error with

+rectangles. `panel.drag.<Panel>` locates each panel's header grip; `panel.float.<index>.move`
+and `.resize` locate floating geometry handles. Named workspace saves include these groups.
+
+`window.dockAction` accepts `{action}` using the shared docking action's JSON form. It
+covers tab moves and ordering, split and floating geometry, activation, and closing.
+For example, `{"action":{"ResizeSplit":{"path":[],"size":{"FixedFirst":360}}}}`
+resizes the root split; path entries use `false` for the first child and `true` for
+the second. `{"action":{"MoveFloating":{"panel":"Info","rect":[45,65,420,320]}}}`
+repositions and resizes the floating group containing Info. Invalid actions leave the
+layout unchanged. Pointer gestures dispatch through this same catalog command.

+whole duration; the ruler zooms in as far as five frames. The playhead, markers, In/Out and ticks
+follow the part shown, and clicking or scrubbing the ruler sets a time within it; what lies
+outside it is not drawn. While the monitor plays, a zoomed ruler follows the playhead as the
+Timeline does (Settings ▸ Timeline ▸ Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling): it pages when the playhead
+runs off the right edge or jumps before the left one, or keeps the playhead in the middle with
+smooth scrolling, and keeps its width; scrubbing and clicking never move it. Each monitor keeps its own range in its view state (`time_zoom`: start

+## Results (#847: AV1 in-loop filters in parallel row bands, before → after)
+
+The AV1 decoder ran deblocking, CDEF and loop restoration on one thread per frame. A single-tile
+stream (what SVT-AV1 and most encoders write by default) has no other parallelism inside a
+frame, and a frame's references are waited for as whole frames, so this serial tail sat on the
+critical path of every frame that references it. The three filters now run in bands of 64 luma
+rows on the decoder's rayon pool, one join per filter per frame (the loop filter recomputes the
+8 rows above each band rather than splitting into two passes, because every join costs a worker
+wake-up, which is slow on a busy machine). Output is bit-exact with the single-threaded path and
+with libdav1d (all oracle and conformance tests, plus new 4:2:2 / 4:4:4 libaom fixtures); with
+one thread the code path is the old one.

+
+One thread is unchanged (`perf_1080p_lowdelay`, 8 pairs: 2.19–2.20 s both). The extra CPU time
+is mostly rayon workers spinning briefly before they sleep after each join, plus the loop
+filter's recomputed margin rows. Key-frame-only streams gain little: their frames are
+independent, so frame threads already keep every core busy. What remains is the tile decode
+itself (entropy decoding and reconstruction of a single tile, 65–80 % of a frame), which only
+row-level frame threading (waiting for reference rows instead of whole frames) can overlap.
+
+## Results (VP9 loop filter wavefront, #980, before → after)
+
+The VP9 post stage of a frame (band assembly, loop filter, publication) ran on one thread, and
+later frames wait per band for their references, so the loop filter (about 30 % of the decode
+profile) set the pace of every inter frame: with 16 threads the tile columns spent most of their
+time waiting for the previous frame's bands. The loop filter now runs as a wavefront over
+superblock rows (row r two superblocks behind row r - 1, which is what the raster order of 8.8.1
+allows), the post thread and helpers on the decoder's pool each taking a row. No lock is held
+while a superblock is filtered: rows exchange copies of the 8 rows the filter reaches across a
+band boundary. Output is bit-identical (the conformance tests compare 1, 2, 3, 5 and 16 threads
+with ffmpeg).

+| `bench_4k` (8 tile columns) | 15–18 | 1.52 (1.49–1.59) | 6/6 | 48.0 → 57.8 |

+1080p clip (+0.5 %, `perf stat`). The extra CPU with threads is mostly rayon workers spinning
+before they sleep. With the machine oversubscribed (load above 16) the wavefront gains less, as
+every row waits for the one above.

+//!   (`crates/project/examples/effect_catalog.rs`); paths are Effects-panel folders
