## Memory (M5.6)
A view's stages keep an uploaded source only up to 96 MB (a Preview-level source); a bigger one (the original a zoom window is cut from) is uploaded for the render alone, so the stages hold the window's own pixels (issue #323: otherwise a 288 MB upload counted against the stage budget on every tick of a drag).
A view's stages keep an uploaded source only up to 96 MB (a Preview-level source); a bigger one (the original a zoom window is cut from) is kept once, outside the views' stages, for all views of the photo (the Before and After windows and every pan share it) and given back when the app idles (issue #323: kept per view it counted against the stage budget on every tick of a drag, and not kept every new window uploaded 288 MB again).
- `library.memory` reports what the engine's caches hold (decoded thumbnail / preview / full-size
sources, rendered previews) and the GPU renderer's device buffers (allocated, of which pooled
and retired); `ui.inspect` → `memory` adds the loupe's stage caches (CPU images, GPU buffers)

The loupe's cost follows the canvas, not the zoom (issue #323): the whole frame is rendered at about canvas size (at most the 2560 px preview source level, the Preview size limit and the GPU's texture side), and once the view is zoomed well past that (more than 25 %) the window on screen is rendered too, cut from a frame of at most the photo's own pixels, so beyond 100 % the GPU magnifies it (`region::plan`, `RenderRequest::window`, `Session::region_job`, `crates/ui-egui/src/region.rs`); 1:1 and 2:1–8:1 are sharp at any photo size, a slider drag drafts both renders (7–12 ms a tick at 100 % and 400 % of a 24 MP photo on an M1 Max, `profile_slider_drag`), a continuous pinch holds the render sizes until it is quiet, and a fit view (also on a Retina Mac) never decodes the original. Before/After (side by side, stacked, `\\` and both wipes) gets the same windows on both sides. Windows render on the GPU like whole frames (equivalence-tested against the CPU), in the browser build too (windows no wider than its GPU's texture side, at most 3072 px), and are not made while hovering a look, soft-proofing or showing an overlay, nor over a picture that is not the frame (an unsupported raw's embedded JPEG with another crop). No texture is larger than the GPU allows. The per-view stage caches count against a quarter of the memory budget. Spots and Auto Mask brushes work while what a window reads fits one render (8192 px along an axis, 4096 in the browser): the window grows to hold the spot and its source patch, or the dabs near it, and if that would take more (a clone from far away at 8:1) the loupe keeps the whole-frame render instead, and spots with an automatic source pick it from a fixed-size render of the whole frame (so a window's choice can differ from a whole-frame render's, which picks at its own resolution). The wide stages (dehaze, clarity, highlights/shadows base) and Refine Edges on masks read a window margin capped at 768 px; measured on hard-edged blocks that costs at most a few levels at 8:1. the histogram and Navigator come from the whole-frame render |

The loupe's cost follows the canvas, not the zoom (issue #323): the whole frame is rendered at about canvas size (at most the 2560 px preview source level unless a larger Preview size is chosen, and never above the GPU's texture side), and once the view is zoomed well past that (more than 25 %) the window on screen is rendered too, cut from a frame of at most the photo's own pixels, so beyond 100 % the GPU magnifies it (`region::plan`, `RenderRequest::window`, `Session::region_job`, `crates/ui-egui/src/region.rs`); 1:1 and 2:1–8:1 are sharp at any photo size. A slider tick takes 7–12 ms on a 1400 × 900 canvas and 10–20 ms on a 2800 × 1700 one at 100 % and 400 % of a 24 MP photo (M1 Max, GPU, `profile_slider_drag`); 20 ms at 100 % on the big canvas is over a 16 ms frame. A continuous pinch holds the render sizes (and the windows there are) until it is quiet. A fit view on a canvas up to about 3200 px (a Retina Mac) never decodes the original; larger displays get a window at fit, which does. Modes that draw another picture over the loupe (mask overlays, soft proofing) and photos whose spots or Auto Mask strokes read too far for one window render the whole frame at the size it is drawn, as before windows. Before/After (side by side, stacked, `\\` and both wipes) gets the same windows on both sides, clipped to their pane or side of the line.
