Root cause (in 0.2.1 and still on main): files and folders named on the
command line were imported from the eframe app-creator closure with
`app.run("library.import", …)`, which runs the engine command synchronously:
`import::expand` walked the folder recursively (one `is_dir()` open per entry,
no depth or count bound, following links) and probed every file before the
first frame could be drawn. An argument that resolves to a drive root (`.` or
`..` with a launcher's working folder at `C:\`, `/` or `\` on Windows) or to
the home folder therefore walked the whole drive with the window stuck as a
black "not responding" box. The library-problem banner's pending import had
the same synchronous call. Every other recursive walk (Local's Include
Subfolders, Find Missing Photos, preset and LUT folders, MCP) was also
unbounded, which is the "Local folders with subfolders: not responding"
pattern of filmcraft#23, and a link loop recursed until the stack overflowed.
- engine `walk::files_in`: one bounded, iterative walker (32 folder levels,
1,000,000 entries; `Walked::truncated` says it stopped), folder or file
taken from the directory listing (no open per entry), links and junctions
to a folder followed once. `import::expand` (+ `expand_within`), preset and
LUT folder expansion and MCP `expand_paths` use it.
- engine `import::launch_path`: an empty launch argument is ignored; a
relative one is resolved against the working folder; a drive or file-system
root becomes its memory card's DCIM folder or is refused, and so is the home
folder (a notice says why and to use File > Import Photos).
- desktop: launch arguments go through it and are imported with
`import::start_paths` (the import worker), like dropped files; so does the
library-problem banner's pending import.
Not verified on Windows (no machine here). The report says PhotoCraft 0.5.0
and `--memory` hang the same way with no arguments; nothing in LightCraft
walks the disk at startup without arguments (strace of a headless demo run
with HOME=/ and cwd /: no recursive listing), so that part may be outside
this code.

Import -> Copy (and Move, and Copy as DNG) handled one file after another
on the import worker: copy, fsync, read back and hash, optionally decode
and re-encode the raw as DNG. Every other CPU-heavy step of an import was
already parallel (the probes, up to 8 threads), so with the probes cached
by the review dialog's scan the transfer phase ran on one core.
ImportJob::prepare_files now plans each file in order, as before
(duplicates by path and content, sidecars, rename sequence numbers,
folders, Kept notes) and collects the copies/moves, which then run on up
to 8 threads (std::thread::scope; sequential on wasm32). Outcomes keep
their places, so results, order, names and failure messages are those of
a one-by-one import:
- a file whose content matches a transfer still pending, or whose name
could collide with one (same folder, same name family: IMG.jpg,
IMG-1.jpg, img.dng), waits until that one has finished;
- cancel stops before the next file; transfers not started leave no item;
- a panic in one transfer fails that file instead of the batch;
- Copy as DNG holds a memory-gate permit (6x the file size) while it runs.
Copy verification and crash safety are unchanged (same copy_new / place).
The desktop's import worker prepares batches of 2 x workers files (8..16,
lightcraft_engine::import::batch_size) instead of 8, so a batch's slowest
file holds back fewer threads; the browser build keeps 8.
Measured (4-core shared VM, 200 procedural 3.7 MB JPEGs = 754 MB, warm
page cache, throwaway benchmark not committed):
- probe: ~80 ms CPU per file is the JPEG decode (DCT-scaled to 64 px),
1.2 ms the content hash; the dialog's scan: 4.4 s, 3.6 cores busy.
- Copy, probes cached: copy+fsync+verify 1.59 s at 0.43 cores before,
0.94 s at 0.81 cores after. Copy, not cached: 6.45 s -> 5.51 s.
- Add, probes cached: 2 ms prepare; nothing to parallelize.
- commit of a batch on the UI thread (journal append + fsync): ~4 ms,
flat for libraries of 0, 5k, 20k and 50k photos (~0.7 s for 1300).
Copy as DNG could not be measured (no raw corpus here); it is the most
CPU-heavy per-file step and was sequential.
Test: copies_run_side_by_side_with_the_same_outcome (copies under the
test fault Slow run on more than one thread; names, order and in-batch
duplicates match a one-by-one copy; the outcome assertions also pass on
the old code, the thread assertion fails there).

Found running cargo xtask ci with the corpus on Windows. The two changes
landed on the same day: the Fujifilm test (#282) expected the compressed
X-T20 file to keep the neutral fallback because its fit failed the gates
on all pixels (held-out RMS 0.114 against 0.10). The retry away from
edges (#263, issue #232) fits it (0.056), so the fit is accepted at both
sizes. Expect true.
follow_library_folder rebuilt the chosen subfolder from the lower-cased
folder_key on Windows and joined it with '/', so after a move the folder
shown in the sidebar came back as c:\archive\trip/day1 with its names in
lower case. Add folder_rest (compares by folder_key, returns the names as
spelled) and join them with the platform's separator. Tests compare
folders by identity where they only mean the same folder, and a new test
fails on Windows without the fix.
When catalog.lock can't be locked (a file system without locks, such as
some network shares), the library opens unprotected, as documented, but
the promised warning went only to the log. It is now the first of the
library's warnings: library.info lists it under settingsWarnings, the
app shows it once in its notices, and lightcraft-cli run / mcp print the
library's warnings on stderr (stdout stays results / protocol only). A
normally locked library shows none.

Decode lossless CRX and version 0x100/0x200 C-RAW in portable Rust,
including sensor geometry, timed white balance and black/white levels.
Verify all sensor samples against six independent M50/R100/R8 references.
Any CR3 decode error falls back to the embedded JPEG, as CR3 files did
before this decoder. The full sensor buffer is allocated only after the
first plane decodes, and plane buffers grow row by row. Tile planes
decode in parallel with a windowed bit reader (24 MP: 424 -> 89 ms
lossless, 519 -> 138 ms C-RAW on an M4).
Add guarded CR3 camera-JPEG colour fitting with independent framing
validation, relative white balance and cache invalidation.
Validation: cargo xtask ci.
The pending counter was decremented when the job's guard dropped at the
end of the loop iteration, after the reply was sent, so a waiting caller
(CLI / MCP mask.add) could see the segmenter still busy right after its
answer arrived. Under a loaded test run that made
tests_segment::waiting_requests_with_a_damaged_model_are_errors fail on
assert!(!busy()). The guard is now dropped just before each reply.

After an undo or redo that changed one photo (its edit, rating, flag,
label, metadata or versions), that photo becomes the active one, as in
Lightroom Classic, so the change is on screen instead of happening to a
photo out of sight. It joins the selection if it isn't in it; steps that
touch several photos, albums or files, and photos outside the current
view, leave the selection alone.

#333 passed imported LUT names and folder names through tr(), so a LUT
named like a message ("Vivid") was shown translated; they are now shown
as the file names them (builtin_label / new profile_label, as for user
presets). A LUT folder named like a built-in group ("Film") shared that
group's menu widget id and the browser section's open state; both are
keyed apart now. Restores the "Amount 0 = the photo as it was" assertion
#333 replaced, and adds a What's new line.

#287 made app.export refuse unknown params. Stored settings (a user export
preset, prefs.json lastExport) written by another version are not the
caller's typo, and refusing them would break that preset or Export with
Previous for good after an update: their unknown keys (also inside
watermark) are dropped before the strict check. What the caller passes is
still checked strictly.

lightcraft-cli installed no `log` backend, so every log::warn!/info! record
(the GPU-to-CPU fallback, an unknown LIGHTCRAFT_GPU_BACKEND, the adapter
chosen) was dropped and RUST_LOG, which docs/gpu-pipeline.md documents for
the fallback warning, did nothing. The desktop app had its own logger that
read only LIGHTCRAFT_LOG.
Both now install lightcraft_engine::logging: warnings and errors on stderr
by default; LIGHTCRAFT_LOG or RUST_LOG (off, error, warn, info, debug,
trace) picks another level, LIGHTCRAFT_LOG winning, and RUST_LOG's
per-target directives (`lightcraft=debug,wgpu=warn`) set LightCraft's
level. Below warnings only LightCraft's own records are shown, as the app's
logger did. The app's --help lists the variable.
Tests: level parsing and target filtering (engine logging::tests); the CLI
prints "LIGHTCRAFT_GPU_BACKEND=bogus names no known backend" with
RUST_LOG=warn and nothing with RUST_LOG=off (cli.rs).

Review of the onDeleted work found that purging photos one at a time built each
op list against the unchanged catalog, so photos sharing an album or a stack made
Empty Recently Deleted (and Fresh imports) fail with NoStack or leave dangling
album entries. Catalog::delete_photos_permanently_ops builds one list for all of
them; Empty, Delete Permanently and the Fresh purge use it. Photos an import
restores now take part in album/albumName/selection, and undo labels say Restore.

A file that is in Recently Deleted was always skipped as a duplicate with no way
forward (#298). The report now flags such duplicates (existingDeleted); onDeleted
restores the trashed photo with its edits or replaces it with a fresh import; and
Empty Recently Deleted removes every trashed photo in one undoable step.
