- library.missing lists photos whose file isn't where the library expects it; photo.relink
points one at its new location; library.findMissing {folder} relinks every missing photo
whose file (same name and size) is somewhere in a folder, in one undoable step. New
Op::Relink: like a rename in the catalog, but undo/redo never move files.
- UI: File → Find Missing Photos…, photo menu → Locate Missing File… (when the file is gone).
- Renderer: a remembered failure is retried once the catalog changes (a relinked file).

- library.browse {path, subfolders}: a folder's photos are read in place as "local" photos
(catalog flag, SetLocal op) that only folder views list — not All Photos, albums, date
groups, keyword counts or stats. photo.addToLibrary promotes them; importing the folder for
real promotes instead of reporting duplicates. The browsed folder persists with the view.
- UI: Local section (Pictures, Desktop, Downloads, Home, the browsed folder, Browse Folder…);
folder views get a breadcrumb header (each part opens that folder), Include subfolders and
"Add N to My Photos".
- Renderer: a job that fails (unreadable / missing file) is remembered by slot + key and not
requested again every frame — the grid re-queued it forever (a render loop per broken
file). The loupe says "This photo can't be opened" with the reason; grid cells show "!".
ui.inspect lists pending render slots.
- Headless app.export (MCP, lightcraft-cli run) exports the selection like the desktop app.

- Metadata gains alt text, extended description, sublocation, city, state/province, country:
catalog, photo.setMeta, copy/paste metadata, XMP read/write (Iptc4xmpCore AltText /
ExtDescrAccessibility / Location, photoshop City / State / Country), sidecars and export
(place fields dropped with "remove location").
- Info panel: camera card (camera, lens, size · file size, format badge, focal length,
shutter, aperture, ISO), then title, caption, alt text, extended description, copyright,
creator, file name (rename), file path (reveal), captured (edit), place fields, GPS.
- Text fields keep what is typed across frames and save on focus loss (they were rebound to
the stored value every frame). New pencil icon (drawn in code); dates::display_time.

- By Date: year → month → day rows with counts and disclosure triangles; a row filters by
that date prefix (catalog date_groups now carries days).
- Settings → Import → Metadata: copyright and creator given to imported photos that don't
carry their own (library.preferences {import: {copyright, creator}}), saved with the library.

Op::SetCaptured (validated, journaled), photo.setCaptureTime (the active photo gets the time,
others keep their offsets; or each / shift / hours), Edit Capture Time dialog with preview
(Photo menu, Info panel); engine + headless tests incl. op-log replay.

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).

Catalog keyword ops (one SetMeta batch: undoable, replayed from the op log), hierarchical
a|b|c keywords (tree with counts, parent filters include children), keyword.* commands,
rename/merge dialogs, Keywords-panel suggestions; catalog, engine and headless 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.

Resolved: album.create (main's one-liner + smart: None), menus (panels in
the Window menu, main's dialog.newFolder ⇧⌘N, app.showInFinder and
app.exportPrevious placed in the menu layout), shortcuts (native-menu skip
+ main's aliases and UI-over-engine rule; Shift+X/Shift+U aliases go
through the culling path; my Shift+P/X/U flag-and-advance dropped in
favour of the aliases). X and Delete stay egui-handled (contextual keys).

Photo.copy_of / copy_name. photo.virtualCopy (Cmd+') clones the photo with
independent settings and history, names it "Copy N" (numbered per master),
adds it to the original's albums and stacks it (expanded) right after the
original; one undo step for several copies (Session::merge_undo). Copies
never write XMP sidecars. "Copy N" badge in the grid, Info panel line,
copy:yes search token. Also: Info panel stars laid out in a row.

Stack entity in the catalog (AddStack/RemoveStack/SetStack ops with
inverses, validation, snapshot + journal replay property test). Helpers
build ops for group (merging stacks), ungroup, remove, set top, collapse,
and stack_with_ops() for future merge results. Views arrange stack members
together and collapse to the top. Commands stack.* (Cmd+G, Cmd+Shift+G, S,
Shift+S, expand/collapse all, stack.auto with preview); grid/filmstrip
count badges (click to toggle), context menu, Auto-Stack dialog.

Album.smart holds Filter rules (rating, flag, label, kind, edited, keyword,
camera, lens, capture date range, text, album); SetAlbumRules op with
inverse, validation (no nested smart albums, no deleted), journal replay
property test. album.createSmart (from the current view or explicit rules),
album.setRules; New Smart Album dialog, smart icon, live counts.

- pipeline::optics::Warp: one inverse map (lens-corrected → source) inside the single geometry resample:
manual radial distortion, embedded DNG WarpRectilinear (per plane), per-channel lateral CA scale,
radial vignetting gain (manual + embedded FixVignetteRadial); all in normalized radii
- automatic lateral CA estimate: radial edge profiles matched sub-pixel per plane, robust LSQ fit of
displacement = α·r (cached per source)
- defringe: purple/green hue ranges (OkLab hue) desaturated next to high-contrast edges, width relative
to the image long edge
- "Enable Lens Corrections" applies only lens data embedded in DNGs (opcodes are no longer baked at decode;
stored on the photo record, on by default at import when present). No LCP data anywhere.
- new controls: optics.caRed/caBlue, defringe hue ranges; Optics panel: Manual sub-section, Defringe flyout
- tests: barrel grid straightened, CA removal (auto + manual), embedded corrections toggle/scale, preview vs
export resolution independence, CA estimator accuracy, orientation of embedded lens data

- catalog: Store trait (FsStore: temp+fsync+rename+dir fsync; MemStore),
Journal: CRC-checked JSON-lines op log with sequence numbers + atomic
snapshots; torn final record dropped and truncated, stale records after a
snapshot skipped, mid-log damage preserved as catalog.log.damaged-N.
- PushHistory op so each edit logs one history step (not the full history).
- engine: Session::open_library/persist/close_library; every top-level
command is fsynced before returning; presets.json + view.json;
library.info / library.compact commands.
- app: default library ~/Pictures/LightCraft Library (LIGHTCRAFT_LIBRARY or
--library DIR override), --memory for throwaway sessions, snapshot on quit.
- tests: proptest replay(log)==state with random snapshots/reopens, every
truncation of the last record, stale log, mid-log damage, FsStore, engine
restart without close.
