A clipped pixel is never valid at full resolution, so its diffused chromaticity was always the
bilinear sample of the half-resolution pyramid level; the full-resolution chroma field (288 MB
at 24 MP) and its fill pass were wasted work. The pyramid now starts at half resolution straight
from the image. Bit-identical to the previous implementation (kept as a test reference over odd
sizes and clipping densities). 24 MP: 319 -> 145 ms isolated; real CR2/ARW loads 0.8-1.1 s ->
0.3-0.5 s under load. Runs on every full-resolution raw load (1:1 loupe, export).

- lightcraft-raw: RawImage::develop_binned(k) — k×k superpixel binning of the CFA
(Bayer k even, X-Trans k multiple of 3), black/white normalised row by row, default
crop only, clipping preserved for highlight reconstruction. 2560 px previews of a
24 MP raw bin 2×, thumbnails 4–8×; exports / 1:1 still demosaic (AHD) at full size.
- highlight::reconstruct and its pyramid fill are rayon-parallel (bit-exact).
- X-Trans directional demosaic: precomputed per-phase neighbour offsets and no
reflection in the interior, no per-pixel allocation (bit-exact, tested against the
reference formulation): 2.9 s → 0.75 s CPU at 24 MP.
- files::load_bytes runs on a rayon worker so its short parallel loops don't each
wait for the pool to wake (dominant cost on a loaded machine); LIGHTCRAFT_PROFILE
prints per-stage source timings; files::bin_factor picks the block size.
- render_bench ONLY=source: per-file decode / normalise / demosaic / binning / load.
- Fix: u64 overflow on hostile IFD sizes in DNG/ARW/NEF raw-IFD selection (proptest).
load_bytes(2560) CPU time, ARW a7 III 24 MP: 2347 → 240 ms; X-T20: 3120 → 1220 ms.
