The slideshow always advanced on its own after the slide duration.
The new Manual slideshow setting (Settings > Slideshow > Playback, or
manual in slideshow.playback and view.slideshow) keeps each slide, the
intro and the ending up until the right or left arrow or the control
bar changes it. Space, Esc, random order and repeat work as before.
Exports still use the slide duration. The setting is saved with the
library and in slideshow templates; a template without it reads as off.
Found while testing crates/slideshow/src/settings.rs:296-300 (parse_color); same pattern in crates/engine/src/slideshow.rs:117-122 (fadeColor)

Intro and ending title screens (Lightroom Classic's Titles panel): each on
or off, a background colour and, centred, the Overlays identity plate or a
line of text, in the plate's colour or an override colour, at a scale, for
its own duration (default: the slide duration).
- Playback timeline: titles are items (Item::Title) of Playback; the intro
plays once before the first photo, the ending after the last photo when
repeat is off; random order never moves them; arrows step across them;
fades, pause and readiness work as for slides; n of N counts photos only.
- Engine: slide_title (TitleSettings in prefs.json, TitleCompose drawing
through the slide composer and overlay text renderer), slideshow.titles
get/set, slideshow.preview {title}.
- UI: titles composed on a render worker (Renderer::request_title), the
control bar shows Intro / End, Settings > Slideshow > Titles section and
a Photo / Intro / Ending preview choice; strings in the nine locales.
- Docs: parity row (partial), playback note, whats-new, control and MCP.
