- engine: `merge.hdr`, `merge.panorama`, `merge.hdrPanorama` (bracket size from
EXIF); MergeJob (Send) with progress/cancel, preview renders through the develop
pipeline (deghost overlay, auto-crop frame); finish writes <name>-HDR/-Pano.dng
next to the first source, imports, selects, applies Auto Settings / auto crop
- ui: Photo Merge dialog (HDR / Panorama / HDR Panorama) with live preview on a
worker thread, background final merge with progress toast; context menu and
Ctrl+H / Ctrl+M (Ctrl now means the physical Control key on macOS)
- cli: `merge hdr|panorama|hdr-panorama`, `synth-merge` for synthetic inputs

Renders run in dedicated module Web Workers, each a second instance of the app's wasm module
(index.html compiles it once and posts the WebAssembly.Module to worker.js). A job crosses as
JSON (WireJob: source, settings, request); the worker reads originals and cached thumbnails from
browser storage itself, keeps decoded sources and per-view stage caches, and transfers RGBA back.
Jobs follow the worker that decoded the photo; the loupe waits for it. No wasm threads or
SharedArrayBuffer needed; falls back to inline rendering if no worker starts (?workers=0).
Thumbnail disk cache on the web: thumbs/<key>.jpg in OPFS/IndexedDB with an index on the main
thread, pruned to the desktop budget (2 GB → 80 %, LRU).
ui-egui: RenderOffload hook in the Renderer (queue/priorities/dedup stay in the UI).
engine: RenderJob.origin + MediaCache::origin_ref; preview: encode_jpeg/decode_jpeg public.
xtask web: copies worker.js; --serve sends COOP/COEP/CORP (documented in docs/web.md).
Headless Chrome, cold load + grid scroll, 24 demo photos: main-thread busy 12.4 s → 0.7–1.1 s,
long tasks 23 (max 1.1 s) → 0; grid filled in 6.3–8.4 s vs 13–16 s; slider job 4 ms.

Own T.81 encoder: Annex K tables, JFIF YCbCr 4:4:4/4:2:0 + gray, EXIF/XMP/ICC segments, bands of MCU
rows separated by RSTn so entropy coding runs on all cores. Per-core speed matches jpeg-encoder at 4:4:4
(225 vs 237 ms on 24 MP, single thread); with all cores 24 MP encodes in ~130 ms vs ~500–800 ms
(loaded machine). Output decodes with jpeg-decoder and zune-jpeg (odd sizes tested); same-or-smaller
files at equal/higher PSNR. 4:2:2 keeps jpeg-encoder. Bench: crates/codecs/examples/jpeg_bench.rs.

`media::develop` renders on the GPU when available (views, render_now, exports;
thumbnails stay on the CPU) and falls back to the CPU otherwise. `app.gpu
{enabled?}` toggles it at runtime, `LIGHTCRAFT_GPU=0` disables it for the process,
`ui.inspect` reports the adapter under perf.gpu.
Performance: dropped device buffers are recycled once their thread has submitted
(fresh 100-300 MB allocations per pass cost as much as the passes), Gaussian
passes ping-pong between two buffers and read all channels of a pixel at once,
and long box radii slide over longer chunks. LIGHTCRAFT_PROFILE prints real GPU
stage timings. render_bench prints CPU and GPU columns and the CPU/GPU difference.
24 MP ARW, loaded machine, min of 7: cold loupe 415 -> 32 ms, exposure drag
22-42 -> 3.9 ms, NR drag (1920) 301+ -> 18 ms, export render 1037+ -> 291 ms;
max 1 LSB difference. docs/gpu-pipeline.md describes the implementation.

The catalog Store on the web is an in-memory mirror (apps/lightcraft-web/src/files.rs) loaded
from browser storage at start-up and flushed in the background in modification order (so a
snapshot always lands before the log reset that follows it). Storage is OPFS when writable from
the main thread (createWritable), else IndexedDB (?store=idb forces it); ?reset clears it.
Imported originals are stored as originals/<content hash> and referenced as
web/<hash>/<name>; the main thread keeps a bounded memory cache and loads misses (and the
active photo) asynchronously. view.json and ui.json are saved every second when changed.
Engine: Session::open_library_in(LibraryStores) opens a library from any Store (presets, view
and prefs go through it too); Session::save_view; Copy imports into a non-disk library add.
JS automation API: lightcraft.command(id, paramsJson) (+ web.stats).

The source is uploaded once per view (kept with the GPU stages) and resampled on
the device: orientation as an integer pixel map, the Mitchell area prefilter
with the CPU's exact taps, then one bilinear resample through the
crop/straighten/flip affine or through the full warp (inverse perspective,
manual distortion, embedded DNG WarpRectilinear per plane, lateral CA, manual
and embedded vignetting gain, blank outside the source). `Frame::sample_plan`
(new) decides prefilter size and mode for both renderers; sources larger than
the device's buffer limit are still resampled on the CPU.
Equivalence: all 8 orientations with and without crop/straighten/flip, embedded
lens + perspective: max 1 LSB.

Linear and radial gradients, luminance and colour ranges and brush strokes are
evaluated by a WGSL kernel per component, combined (add/subtract/intersect,
component and mask invert, amount) into one device buffer of alpha planes that
the per-pixel stage reads directly. Brushes use the CPU's dabs
(`masks::brush_dabs`, shared with the rasterizer) and the closed form of the
flow accumulation (1 − Π(1 − a·flow), capped at density). Sky / Subject /
Background and other heuristic shapes, and brushes of more than 4096 dabs, are
evaluated on the CPU inside the same render and uploaded.
New equivalence case with CPU-evaluated shapes, subtract/intersect and amount;
all cases stay at max 1 LSB.

Gaussian blur (three box passes each way, running sums per 16-pixel chunk), the
separable resample with the CPU's exact taps (uploaded tables), the guided filter
and the fast guided filter (coefficients on the subsampled grid), log luminance,
dark channel + airlight (percentile of every 7th value read back), white balance
and luminance/colour noise reduction now run as WGSL kernels. A render records
everything into one command encoder and reads back only the output (and the
airlight samples); defringe and spot removal still run on the CPU when used.
Equivalence unchanged: max 1 LSB, mean < 0.001 LSB over all test cases.

New L3 crate `lightcraft-gpu`: a wgpu device (Metal/Vulkan/DX12; none on wasm32),
WGSL kernels compiled once, buffer/dispatch/readback helpers, and a renderer that
runs the per-pixel stage (tone map, highlights/shadows, clarity/texture/sharpen,
dehaze, local mask terms, OkLCh colour ops, grading, vignette, gamut map, sRGB
encode, curves, grain) on the device. Earlier stages still run on the CPU and are
uploaded (per-stage hybrid). Stage results are cached per view next to the CPU
StageCache (new `StageCache::extension`).
The CPU pipeline stays the oracle and shares its resolved parameters with the
kernels: `finish::FinishParams` / `mask_terms`, `pipeline::plan` (stage-cache keys),
`local::plane_sigmas` / `nr_params` / `wb_matrix_for`, exact LUTs and OkLab
matrices exported for the shader prelude. Equivalence tests (skip without an
adapter): mean |d| < 0.5 LSB, max <= 3 LSB; measured max 1 LSB on Apple M4 Pro.

Integrated with M4 optics/Upright: render_impl resolves Upright and uses frame_for (lens + auto CA)
on the cached source; defringe runs in the cached linear stage and optics settings are part of its key.
Stage-cache equivalence test extended with optics/geometry steps.

The guided base, clarity band, texture band and dark channel (and the paired blurs inside the
guided filter) are independent; each alone scales poorly (subsampled grids, short rows), so they now
run under raster::par_join. Same arithmetic, identical pixels. render_bench gains a per-feature
breakdown of the per-pixel stage (ONLY=finish).

Vanishing points need structural support (≥3 inliers, length, spread, 60% family consensus) and must lie
outside the frame; Level needs consensus; Auto confirms a vertical-implied roll with the horizontals and
limits its level fallback to ±5°. Regression test: Auto ≈ identity on all 24 demo scenes; building tests
unchanged.

- ui-egui/softpaint: pure-Rust rasterizer for tessellated egui output (gamma-space premultiplied
blending like egui-wgpu, bilinear texel-centre sampling, scissor clips, tie-break rule so shared
edges blend once, parallel row bands, deterministic) + CPU texture mirror from TexturesDelta.
- ui-egui/headless: HeadlessView (offscreen context with our fonts/theme) and Headless (windowless
app session: logic+ui per frame, answers viewport Screenshot/InnerSize/Close, settle loop,
control requests through the shared handler).
- ui.screenshot {headless: true} in the running app renders from the logic tick (works while the
window is occluded / display asleep); windowed captures fall back to headless after 2 s.
Screenshots now wait for in-flight renders, not just queued ones.
- lightcraft-cli snapshot [--demo|--library DIR] [--script f.jsonl] -o out.png --size WxH --scale S.
- Fixes found with it: dialog backdrop was painted over the dialog itself (now an area below the
window); dialog content padding; crop overlay options use our buttons (registered widget ids).
- Docs: control-protocol.md (headless section), AGENTS.md (prefer headless when unattended).

- pipeline::upright: own gradient-based line-segment detector (level-line region growing seeded from the
strongest gradients, weighted principal-axis fit, elongation test); vanishing points by RANSAC over
segment pairs + least-squares refinement (smallest eigenvector of Σ w·l·lᵀ)
- corrections as a virtual camera rotation K·R·K⁻¹ (vertical VP → y axis; Full also horizontal VP → x axis
with focal length from VP orthogonality when plausible); Level = rotation; Auto = Full/Vertical when
moderate, else Level; all re-centred
- Guided: guides stored in normalized lens-corrected coordinates; 2+ vertical/horizontal guides define the
vanishing points, a single guide levels
- the analysis runs on the lens-corrected image at 1024 px and the result is stored in
geometry.upright_transform (identical preview/export); settings naming a mode without a transform
(XMP, CLI) are resolved at render time
- commands geometry.upright {mode} (Update = run again) and geometry.guides {guides, add}
- UI: Upright mode buttons, Update, Draw/Clear Guides in the crop panel; on-canvas guide drawing that
follows the warp
- tests: segment detector on known lines; Vertical/Auto/Full fix converging verticals; Level fixes a tilted
horizon; Full fixes both families; guided from two guides; analysis resolution independence; lazy vs
stored transform; engine commands

- pipeline::transform::manual: Vertical/Horizontal keystone as a virtual camera rotation K·R·K⁻¹ (re-centred,
local scale preserved), Rotate, Aspect, Scale, Offset X/Y composed into one homography
- the homography lives in the Warp: output → crop affine → inverse perspective → lens model → source, still a
single resample; masks/crop/spots stay in transformed normalized coordinates
- Constrain Crop: the effective crop shrinks about its centre until no blank (outside-source) area remains;
aspect unchanged
- UI: Constrain Crop checkbox in the crop panel's Geometry section
- tests: slider signs, known keystones straightened (3 slider combos), constrain removes blank corners,
preview vs export match

Exports above 2560 px were rendered from the 2560 px preview proxy and upsampled. SourceLevel::Full
(native size; procedural demo scenes at their nominal size) is now selected for outputs larger than
a preview; the media cache keeps only the last full-size original. render_bench gains a batch-export
scenario (decode + render + JPEG per file).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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

- finish: sRGB encode through an interpolated 4096-entry table (< 2e-5 from the exact curve,
tested), exp2 instead of powf(2, x).
- guided / guided_fast: coefficient and output passes run row-parallel (were serial loops);
Image::zip_map.
- blur_bench reports process CPU time next to wall-clock (meaningful on a loaded machine).
- RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 3 (exposure-after-filters and the table change pixels by <= 2 LSB).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- pipeline: StageCache + render_cached: resampled source, white-balanced/retouched/denoised image
and each spatial plane (log L, guided base, clarity, texture, dark channel + airlight) are keyed
by exactly their inputs; keeps a draft-size and a full-size entry warm.
- Exposure moved after the spatial filters (applied per pixel; planes shifted by EV): identical up
to rounding (test: <= 2 LSB vs. exposing the source), so exposure drags hit the cache too.
- engine: RenderJob::draft / with_stages; ui: loupe and before views own a StageCache, loupe
renders at Draft quality while interacting.
- engine example render_bench (min-of-N wall + process CPU time).

- embedded_preview: CR3 PRVW/THMB boxes (plus RAF, RW2, ORF, PEF from the
format commits); stops at the first valid box of each kind
- engine: raw variants that report Unsupported are probed and shown from
their embedded JPEG (orientation from the JPEG or the raw), not an error
- crates/raw/tests/corpus.rs: every corpus/raw file is recognised, has a
JPEG preview (DNG optional) and decodes or is a known-unsupported
variant; prints decode timings
- xtask corpus --download: 37 CC0 raw.pixls.us samples (matched by SHA-256)
- ROADMAP/crate docs: format coverage, NEF Huffman / RW2 format 4 /
compressed ORF+RAF gaps, neutral colour-matrix fallback
