library.importPreview scans/probes (probes reused by the import) and marks duplicates;
library.import gains preset, keywords and albumName and is one undo step; File > Add Photos
opens a review grid (thumbnails, checkboxes, duplicates unchecked), add in place or copy into
the dated Originals folders, batched import with progress; engine + headless tests.

Engine: spot.select / spot.update (move target or source, size, feather, opacity, mode) /
spot.refreshSource (next-best source away from the current one) / spot.delete (selected spot);
spot.add resolves the automatic source (so it has a pin and stays put at every size) and selects
the new spot. Remove tool: pins for targets and the selected spot's source, click to select, drag
to move; Size/Feather/Opacity sliders edit new and selected spots; ⌫ deletes the selected spot
(never the photo), / refreshes its source, [ ] size and Shift+[ ] feather (Masking brush too).
Command tests and headless pointer/keyboard tests.

Auto Mask strokes weight each dab by similarity (log luminance + chromaticity) to the pixel under
its centre and are refined by a cross guided filter on log luminance (max-combined, never removing
paint). Local Noise smooths small-amplitude luminance detail (negative boosts it) and calms colour
noise; Moiré blends chromaticity towards a blurred plane (appended to the GPU mask buffer);
Defringe desaturates purple/green casts on edges. Pixel tests per slider and for the edge
constraint, CPU/GPU equivalence cases, Auto Mask checkbox and Moiré/Defringe sliders in the panel.

RenderRequest gains a sample format (OutputDepth: U8 for previews, U16, F32Linear); deep renders
run the per-pixel stage with the exact sRGB curve and return Rendered::deep alongside the 8-bit
image (GPU stays 8-bit: deep exports render on the CPU). Export encodes deep renders: 16-bit PNG and
TIFF, 32-bit float linear TIFF with a linear ICC profile we generate, 10-bit AVIF (YCbCr planes into
ravif). Output sharpening and watermarks work on deep images. ExportOptions.bitDepth with per-format
defaults (TIFF 16-bit, others 8-bit), export dialog bit depth choice (remembered with the last
export), MCP export schema. Tests: a smooth gradient has 1024 levels in a 16-bit TIFF vs 13 in
8-bit, float TIFF decodes to the same light as 16-bit, per-format depth rules, AVIF 10-bit.

The profile encoder packs tags back to back, so the odd-length description of the
"Adobe RGB (1998) compatible" profile misaligned the copyright tag and macOS ImageIO ignored the
profile in PNG iCCP (sips showed none). Tags are re-laid at aligned offsets; already aligned
profiles (sRGB, P3, ProPhoto, Rec. 2020) are byte-identical.

Settings (Cmd+, / app menu on macOS, Edit elsewhere) with General, Import,
Performance and Interface tabs. App settings (startup view, delete
confirmation, GPU, preview size, filmstrip/grid badges, last library) live in
UiState.settings (ui.json); library settings (raw / non-raw / per-camera
import presets, XMP, thumbnail cache size) go through library.preferences into
prefs.json. Import applies the matching default preset; the photo remembers it
as its import look (unedited; Reset returns to it). Open Library… switches
libraries at runtime.
View modes: F full-screen preview (photo on black, arrows step, I cycles the
info overlay, Esc exits), Cmd+Shift+F window full screen, Cmd+I cycles the
loupe info overlay (off / file + date / exposure), Navigator mini map while
zoomed (click/drag pans).

The selected mask's evaluated alpha is drawn by the renderer as Overlay::Mask (CPU and GPU share the
alpha the render used; hidden masks are evaluated on demand), kept out of the view-preview cache.
Pins for radial/linear/brush components select their mask on click and move the component on drag;
view.maskPins hides them. CPU/GPU equivalence and headless keyboard/pointer tests.

Catalog date runs (stacks never split), Sort.group (auto/day/month/year/none) in the sort
menus, library.groups query, sticky headers, header click selects the group; layout unit
tests and a headless test.

RenderRequest gains an output space (default sRGB; previews stay sRGB). The per-pixel stage converts
scene-linear Rec.2020 to the target primaries, gamut-maps into the target gamut and encodes with the
target curve, on CPU and GPU (WGSL finish kernel reads the matrix, luma weights and curve from its
parameter block). sRGB output is byte-identical to before on the CPU. Export embeds our own
generated ICC profile for the space; AVIF stays sRGB. ExportOptions.colorSpace, export dialog and
MCP export schema. Tests: P3 colour survives a P3 export (decoded through the embedded profile),
every space/format round-trips its profile, GPU equivalence per space.

- memory::budget (default min(25% RAM, 1.5 GiB); LIGHTCRAFT_MEMORY_MB, app.memoryBudget):
half for engine caches (sources + rendered previews, LRU across them via a global
use tick; the photo on screen stays), a quarter for decodes in flight (WorkGate:
thumbnails, prefetch and import probes wait; loupe/export loads never wait), an
eighth for the GPU free pool.
- GPU: best-fit buffer reuse (<= 25% slack), buffers released outside a render are
pooled at once (no stranded retired lists), pool trimmed after 3 s idle.
- Decodes drop file bytes and raw samples early, colour/crop/orient in place.
- macOS: apps install malloc_zone_pressure_relief as the release hook (after each
decode, import and idle trim): freed large blocks no longer stay resident.
14 raws + loupe + 12 steps (M4 Pro): peak RSS 1.9-2.3 GB -> 0.83-0.99 GB, footprint
2.5-2.6 GB -> 0.91-0.96 GB, heap peak 930 -> 656 MB; stepping median ~13 ms.

Fix-ups: diagnostic overlays never populate the view-preview cache; Photo Merge's RenderRequest gets
the new overlay field.

Photo Merge's Create Stack option now puts the merged DNG on top of a
collapsed stack of its sources (Catalog::stack_with_ops), so the grid
shows the result; test in tests_merge (and no stack without the option).
Photo Merge dialogs live in a Photo > Photo Merge submenu.

Also: GPU retired-buffer list leaks its buffers at thread exit instead of
dropping them (wgpu's thread-locals may already be gone; the drop aborted
the test process intermittently), and headless UI tests wait up to 120 s
for renders (they timed out on a loaded machine).

Overlay::Spots(threshold): luminance minus its Gaussian blur (sigma relative to the long edge,
so the same specks show at any preview size), thresholded to white/black; the threshold slider
(0..100) raises sensitivity. Runs after either renderer like the other overlays (equivalence:
share of differing pixels, since the view is binary). Remove panel: Visualize Spots checkbox +
Threshold slider; UI command view.visualizeSpots (A) opens the Remove tool with the view on or
toggles it.

Decoders take a Mode: Header reads everything but the samples (DNG, CR2, ARW,
RAF, RW2; PEF when it has crop tags). NEF/ORF (and PEF without crop tags)
derive geometry/CFA from the samples and still unpack them. decode() stays
bit-exact (debug-hash of every corpus/raw decode identical before/after); the
corpus test asserts probe_info == decode().info() for all 37 files.
Import of 14 corpus raws: 3.4 s -> 1.4-2.0 s; peak RSS through import
1.41-1.49 GB -> 1.12-1.22 GB.

Pet eyes are found by brightness (the tapetum glows in any colour) and the disc is replaced by
a dark neutral pupil (Darken scales it); redeye.catchlight {index, on, offset} adds a soft
white catchlight at an offset from the pupil centre in pupil radii. Red Eye panel: Red Eye /
Pet Eye mode for new corrections and an Add Catchlight checkbox. CPU/GPU twins updated
together (equivalence covers both modes and the catchlight).

pipeline::redeye: inside the user's ellipse the pupil is found on the source image (a fixed
grid in normalized coordinates, so previews and exports agree): weighted centroid and area of
red-dominant pixels (or, for pet eyes, of the brightest ones). Pupil Size scales the detected
disc; rendering in scene-linear light after white balance neutralizes the red where it is red
(iris and catchlights stay) and darkens it. CPU (lin stage) and GPU kernel redeye_k with an
equivalence test (both the GPU and the CPU scene-linear paths). Indexed controls
redEye.<i>.pupilSize/darken, redeye.add/delete commands, the Red Eye panel (selected eye's
sliders, delete) and the loupe tool (drag an ellipse, click to select).

Filter bar above the grid (View > Filter Bar, ⇧F, or the top-bar filter
icon): rating with ≥ / = / ≤, picked / rejected / unflagged, colour labels,
kind, edited/unedited, camera / lens / keyword pickers, Clear and "Save as
Smart Album…" — every control drives library.filter. Two rows when the
grid is narrow. Empty grid under a filter says so. Headless test clicks
the bar's widgets and saves a smart album.
docs/parity.md: rows for smart albums, stacks, virtual copies, compare,
survey, filter bar, menu bar updated; finished top gaps removed.
