- crates/speech (L2): Transcriber trait, FixedTranscriber, Whisper model catalogue (pinned,
SHA-256 verified) with optional downloader (feature `download`: ureq + rustls + RustCrypto),
pure-Rust Whisper inference on candle with word timestamps (feature `whisper`), log-mel, VAD
word tightening, MFCC speaker clustering. Both features off by default and for wasm.
- project: per-media-item transcripts (Project::transcripts); schema v9 with a no-op v8->v9
migration and a v8 fixture.
- edit::transcript: sequence transcript derived from clip transcripts, search, paragraphs,
word ranges, pause/filler detection, ripple delete of many ranges, caption layout.
- engine: transcript.* commands (generate, set, delete, inspect, search, select, extract, lift,
renameSpeaker, removeFillers, removePauses, createCaptions, models, downloadModel);
Session::transcriber for hosts/tests; features `whisper` / `speech-download` (also on the
desktop and CLI apps). Without whisper, transcript.generate fails with a clear error.
- ui: Text panel Transcript tab (Transcribe button, speaker paragraphs of clickable words,
Shift+click selection -> In/Out, extract/lift/remove fillers/create captions, search) with
text.transcript.* automation ids; headless UI test.
- docs/transcripts.md, crates/speech/README.md, architecture and project-files updates.
whisper-tiny measures 12.2% WER over 797 words on local samples.

- file.projectManager {destination, mode: collect|consolidate, sequences?,
excludeUnused, handles, preset, includeProxies, includePreviews, dryRun, wait}.
- Collect copies every file the chosen sequences use (nested sequences and subclips
followed), optionally proxies and render previews; consolidate writes only the used
media range plus handles with a transcode preset and re-bases media time so edits,
keyframes and markers stay put. Unused clips can be excluded.
- Dry run reports original / resulting disk space and the file plan; the copy runs
as a job and writes the project last with the new paths and fingerprints.
- UI: Project Manager dialog (sequences, mode, preset, options, destination,
Calculate → sizes) with automation ids pm.*.
- Tests: collected project opens with its media moved away and renders the same
frames; consolidate trims to used range + handles and matches (>38 dB) the original.
- ROADMAP: M11 done.

- media.createProxies: background job (jobs.list progress) transcoding with our own
encoders — ProRes 422 Proxy ¼/½, ProRes LT ½, H.264 ¼/½ (audio included) — into
<media dir>/Proxies or a chosen folder; attached when the job finishes
(Session::poll_persistence applies finished media jobs).
- media.attachProxies (duration ±1 frame and frame rate must match; size/aspect may
differ), media.detachProxies, media.reconnectFullRes, media.toggleProxies
(Preferences ▸ Media ▸ enableProxies; bumps the view revision without dirtying the
project), media.proxyPresets.
- Proxy frames are smaller; ProxySource reports the original size and the compositor
derives its pixel scale from the frame, so Motion and effects render the same
picture (44 dB PSNR vs full res with Motion + Gaussian Blur, 48 dB at ½).
Export always renders full resolution.
- ExportSettings::prores_profile (proxy / lt / standard / hq).
- project.ingestSettings + file.import: copy (fingerprint-verified), transcode,
create proxies, copy and create proxies.
- UI: Toggle Proxies button on both monitors (lit when on), Create Proxies dialog,
Project panel Proxy submenu and P badges.
- Measured (one core, 4K H.264 testsrc2): CPU composite 201 → 35 ms/frame at ¼ with
ProRes Proxy ¼, 277 → 131 ms at ½ with H.264 ¼; decode 9.2 → 0.7 ms with H.264 ¼.
- Tests: create+attach+toggle same composite modulo scale, attach checks, export
ignores proxies, ingest copy + proxies, ignored 4K benchmark, headless UI test.

- Missing media no longer fails: opening a project scans for missing files
(`media.findMissing`, `file.open` → missingMedia). Missing clips render our own
offline slate (render::offline: red striped field, warning triangle, "MEDIA NOT
FOUND", file name, hint) with silent audio, and the Link Media dialog opens.
- Media identity: imports record the size and a fast content fingerprint (hash of
size + first/last MiB) in MediaClip::identity (optional field, older builds
ignore it, no schema bump).
- media.relink checks file name / extension / fingerprint ("Clip ID") / duration /
media start / frame size+rate+channels, refuses a mismatched fingerprint unless
forced, supports Align Timecode (Project::shift_media_time), and relinks the
others automatically by the derived folder remap (Windows/macOS separators).
- media.autoRelink {from,to} | {folder}, media.search, media.replaceFootage,
media.makeOffline {deleteFiles?}, media.offlineAll, media.status, media.linkMedia.
- Media pool caches sources per reference (path, offline flag), so relink, Make
Offline and undo take effect at once; proxy-aware resolution and a full-res
provider that export uses.
- codecs::gop no longer holds its lock while decoding: rayon decoders inside a
parallel export could steal another frame of the same source and deadlock.
- UI: Link Media dialog (rows, match options, folder search with preview, Locate…,
Link, Offline, Offline All, Cancel), Make Offline dialog, Project panel offline
markers and context menu, media thumbnails keyed by media reference.
- Tests: moved media opens offline (slate rendered) and relinks others by folder,
prefix remap and folder search, fingerprint mismatch refused, Make Offline,
headless UI test of the dialog.

- Engine autosave module: Preferences (autoSave.enabled/intervalMinutes=5/maxVersions=20/
saveCurrentProject/recoveryJournal/recoveryIntervalSeconds), persisted in the per-user data
dir; prefs.get/set/reset commands.
- Background worker (filmcraft-autosave thread): the UI thread only hands over the Arc<Project>
snapshot; JSON encoding and atomic writes happen on the worker. Premiere-style auto-saves to
<project dir>/Auto-Save/<name>-YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.fcproj (local time), only when changed,
rotated to Maximum Project Versions, optionally also saving the project.
- Recovery journal: debounced snapshot of unsaved changes in <data>/Recovery/<session>/ guarded
by an OS file lock; on launch, sessions whose lock is free and that left a snapshot are offered.
Clean quit removes the journal (or keeps it, marked cleanExit, if changes were unsaved).
- Commands: file.recover, file.discardRecovery, file.recoveryList, file.autoSaveNow,
file.autoSaveStatus, file.listAutoSaves.
- UI: Preferences ▸ Auto Save page (Edit ▸ Preferences, Cmd+,; FilmCraft ▸ Settings… on macOS),
"Recover Unsaved Changes" dialog at startup, Revert confirmation; all with automation ids.
- Desktop: --recover / --no-recover / --data-dir; local-time offset via chrono (clock).
- Verified in the app: edits, kill -9, relaunch, dialog, Recover restores the edits (unsaved, original path).
- docs/project-files.md: auto-save, recovery and measured costs (2,000 clips: 2.5 ms encode,
1.4 MB, ~30 ms atomic write+fsync, all off the UI thread). ROADMAP M11 updated.

- New crate filmcraft-format (L3): files are an envelope {format, schema_version, generator,
project}; a chain of single-step JSON migrations (v1 bare Project → v2 envelope) upgrades old
files on load; newer-than-supported files are refused with a clear "update FilmCraft" error;
damaged/foreign files report as such.
- atomic_write: temp file in the same dir + fsync + rename + dir fsync; used for every project
write (FsServices), so a crash mid-save never corrupts the project.
- Engine: file.save/saveAs/open go through the format crate; new file.saveCopy (Save a Copy…,
Cmd+Alt+S) and file.revert; the first save over an upgraded file keeps
"<name> (schema vN backup).fcproj". Project.version dropped (the envelope carries it).
- Hand-made v1 fixtures (minimal + edit without later serde-default fields) in
crates/format/tests/fixtures; 2,000-clip encode/decode timing test.
- docs/project-files.md.
