Catalog format v9 adds Photo.preview_checked and Op::SetContent.preview_checked:
the app version (CARGO_PKG_VERSION) whose decoder set preview_only, empty when
it isn't set. Import and content_op (Reload, Relink) stamp it; undo swaps it
back. Catalogs from before v9 read an empty stamp, so their preview-only photos
count as stale (Photo::preview_only_stale) and will be rechecked once.
The version guard test now also accepts a format version that only adds fields.

New vendor::arw_lens_rm6 reads the raw IFD's lens tables (0x7037 distortion,
0x7032 vignetting, 0x7035 lateral CA, their flags) and turns the distortion
table into a one-plane WarpRectilinear in OpcodeList3, with the conventions
measured on 54 ILCE-7RM6 photos: knots at i/15 of the full-frame crop half
diagonal, S(r) = r (1 + v(r)/15000), frame-filling zoom, centred on the
default crop. Only the ILCE-7RM6 is enabled; vignetting is read, not applied.
The radial least-squares fit is split out as vendor::fit_radial_warp (RW2
results unchanged); its error gate can be limited to the radii the crop
shows, so a padded active area (lossless files) doesn't refuse a fit over
pixels that are never rendered.
It sits next to main's vendor::arw_lens (#498), which holds the ILCE-7RM4A
conventions measured against Sony's exports (unit 16384, table indexed at the
output radius); the two are selected by camera model (disjoint allowlists).
arw::decode chains this module's opcodes after arw_lens::distortion, with the
same active area and the same crop (the DNG-style default crop when the file
has one, which on the ILCE-7RM6 equals Sony's crop tags), and like it only
for CFA data (not the downsized linear-RGB lossless sizes, where the knot
spacing in full-frame pixels would not hold).
The corpus test checks the conversion on the two lossless RawDB files (CC0).
The APS-C one is pinned in xtask RAW_SAMPLES with its sha256; the full-frame
one is not (at most two pins per PR, and #625 pins two Compressed ARW 6.0
files), so its case runs only where the file is present.
RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 62 -> 63.

The grid queues no render behind an unedited raw's quick thumbnail, since the embedded JPEG is
meant to be the thumbnail. But whether that JPEG can be read is only known when the quick job
runs, and `quick_thumb_job` had no fallback: when the preview loader returned nothing the job
failed with "no quick preview", the failure was remembered for that key, and the cell stayed
empty until an edit changed it. The quick job now carries the real thumbnail job as its last
resort, as `quick_view_job` already does for the loupe.
An unedited raw's face tile is cut from its largest embedded preview, read
the planned way (header and JPEG, never the sensor data), when the preview
holds at least 3/4 of the tile's pixels across the face; otherwise, and for
edited photos and other files, it is developed as before. Tiles keep going
to the memory + on-disk thumbnail cache, now at 16 px size steps so the
thumbnail slider reuses them. The planned preview path carries an Adobe RGB
preview colour space and applies it instead of declining to the whole-file
read (Sony alpha 1 previews).
MediaCache::enforce_budget never evicts the original of the photo on screen (set_on_screen), but it still
counted it. A 64 MP original (Sony A7R VI: 9984×6656 linear float, 760 MiB) nearly fills the default cache
share (768 MiB) alone, so the loop evicted everything else instead: the photo's preview and thumbnail sources,
the rendered previews and the prefetched neighbours. Every edit at 1:1 (the whole-frame render and the
thumbnail), every zoom out and every step to the next photo then decoded the raw again.
The pinned original is now left out of what is compared with the budget. The rest still fits the share; the
original sits over it, as the first commit of this PR already allowed.

Each drag tick changed the edited photo's settings, so the filmstrip asked
for a new thumbnail render every frame. For an unedited raw shown with its
embedded preview, the thumbnail-level source had never been decoded, so each
of those renders decoded the whole raw (a 64 MP ARW: over a second), several
side by side, and the loupe's drafts queued behind them.
- The edited photo's thumbnail is not re-rendered during a slider drag while
it has one; it follows once the drag ends.
- A thumbnail of a photo whose preview-level source is decoded (the one in
the loupe) is cut from that source (SourceRef::Fit) instead of decoding the
file again; not when the photo has a denoised picture.

A decoded 64 MP original (Sony A7R VI: 9984×6656 linear float, 797 MB) is bigger than the
default cache share (half of 1.5 GiB). MediaCache::enforce_budget evicted it as soon as the
render handed it over, so every pan of a 1:1 view and every slider move while zoomed decoded
the raw again (and lost the shared GPU copy, keyed by the CPU Arc).
The frontend now tells the cache which photo Detail shows (MediaCache::set_on_screen, set per
frame in panels::compare::prepare); that photo's original is not evicted for the budget and is
let go as soon as another photo or view is shown. Keying it on "no newer preview of another
photo" instead does not work: the neighbour prefetch stores previews after the original.
- Files with no capture date in their metadata or sidecar (e.g. exports saved without
metadata) take the file's modification time, as Lightroom does, instead of all landing
under "Unknown Date" (the loupe overlay showed the import date for them). The import
review and its folder/rename templates use the same date.
- The import review counted files with the same bytes as another file in the source as
"already in the library" (8 on a brand-new, empty library); they are now shown apart as
"identical copies".
- View > Grid Info captions are drawn on Square Grid only; choosing one from Photo Grid now
switches to Square Grid instead of seeming to do nothing.

A panic inside RenderJob::run or QuickJob::run (a raw decoder or pipeline bug) unwound the
job pool's worker without sending a result. The slot stayed pending and its key was never
asked for again, so the loupe or the thumbnail rendered forever; and the pool never
replaces a dead worker, so after as many such panics as it has workers (2–6) no photo
rendered until LightCraft was restarted.
Both now catch the panic (guard::catch) and return it as the job's failure, answering the
request it came from, so the renderer records it like any failed render: no retry until
the catalog changes, and the workers live on. run() is the one place every render goes
through (the pool, export, Build Previews, contact sheets, face and AI-mask workers);
callers that had their own guard keep working, and the watermark preview's, now
redundant, is gone. The web build aborts on panic, so nothing changes there.

On merge: the HDR histogram is applied in develop_reporting (#712 split develop), is skipped for
draft renders (a second render per drag tick), and HdrBins::bin clamps a hand-built split so it
can't underflow (test hdr_bins_with_any_split_stay_in_range).
On merge: the quick preview path orients like the whole-file path (preview_orientation with the
raw's header prefix, so a portrait raw whose embedded JPEG carries no orientation is not sideways),
and its doc links point at preview_window.
A raw shot in a monochrome picture style records full colour, but its
camera JPEG is grey: neither the full look nor the partial look has
colour to fit, so the photo started from the spectral matrices or the
neutral fallback with the default tone curve, about 1.3 EV darker than
the same body's colour-shot photos. The grey JPEG still shows the
camera's tone curve.
When no look was fitted and the JPEG is black and white (`monochrome`),
fit the quantile tone curve alone on top of the colour the photo gets
otherwise: the camera profile's (in `fit_preview`), else the spectral
matrices or the fallback (`monochrome_look`, after the spectral step).
The chroma curve stays neutral; the partial look's checks apply. A
tone-only look keeps the file's colour model for white balance.
LOOK_VERSION 2 -> 3, RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 42 -> 43.

The CRX 0x200 QP map opens with its first symbol as a 32-bit literal; every
later symbol is Rice coded with a limited-length escape: 23 zeros, the
terminating 1 and the symbol in 8 bits (the ITU-T T.87 layout for a 32-bit
limit and 8-bit symbols, without its minus-one offset). The old rule (an
escape after 16 zeros with a 16-bit literal) matched only the first symbol,
which is all the R8 and R7 maps need. R5 Mark II maps (QP 150-162) jump by up
to 12 where the Rice parameter is 0, giving 18- to 22-zero prefixes that
misparsed ("Canon CRX adaptive QP value -21087"): 174 of 306 sampled files
from a private R5 Mark II library opened as previews. Every QP map of its
33,665 C-RAW files now decodes to the exact end of its entropy stream; the six
oracle fixtures are unchanged. Established by black-box analysis of the
bitstream; no third-party decoder source consulted.
Adds the four CC0 R5 Mark II samples (raw.pixls.us 7881-7884) to the corpus
with pinned sensor hashes (the crop-mode framing is left to #754), bumps
RENDER_CACHE_VERSION to 43, and updates cr3.md, raw-parity (235 verified
models), coverage, gaps, the checklist rows, ROADMAP, target-app-parity and
What's New.

Compare and Reference drew each pane from a whole-frame render of at most
2560 px, so 1:1 was a magnified preview and focus could not be checked.
Each pane now also renders the window on screen from the photo's own
pixels (Slot::CompareRegion), as the loupe does (#323). The media cache
keeps up to two full-size originals while either view is open, so one
pane's window does not evict the other's source.
Docs: gaps.md entry 4 shrinks to overlays and soft proofing; checklist
LR-VIEW-ZOOM / LR-VIEW-COMPARE and ui-parity zoom row updated.

An HDR edit's preview shows its SDR rendition, so its histogram said nothing
about the highlights above SDR white. Now it shows the HDR rendition:
`pipeline::hdr_histogram` renders the edit small (384 px, float HDR, same
framing) and bins it with SDR on the left half and the HDR range on the right
(`Histogram::of_hdr`, `HdrBins`), on a fixed scale of Hdr::MAX_EV_LIMIT (5)
stops above SDR white so it doesn't rescale when the headroom limit changes.
The engine's `develop()` (CPU and GPU renders) and the web worker swap it in
for HDR edits; high-bit-depth, windowed and proofed requests keep the image's
histogram, and a display profile's histogram doesn't replace it. Web workers
carry the HDR bins across their wire (`Histogram::to_words` / `from_words`).
The panel draws it in Lightroom's layout: a solid line at SDR white, dashed
lines between the stops, the headroom limit as an orange line with the range
past it dimmed, a bar under the plot (white; one band per stop in Visualize
HDR range's colours while that is on), SDR / HDR labels and an info tooltip.
Follow-up to #646, ported from #466.

The grid already showed the camera's embedded preview first, then queued a render of the whole raw
to replace it. For a 512 px thumbnail that render decodes 50 of a 56 MB Fuji RAF's bytes for a
picture the 4 416 × 2 944 embedded JPEG already covers — 45 s a photo on the 1.2 MB/s share this was
measured on, 8.3 GB of traffic for a 149-photo folder, and a queue that delayed the render the user
was actually waiting for (measured: the first loupe render of a cold photo finished 174 s after the
click, most of it spent behind thumbnails). Idle for a minute afterwards, the same folder read 12
previews (26.9 MB) and decoded zero raws for thumbnails, against 638 MB of whole-file reads before.
- `Session::embedded_thumb_is_final` answers whether a photo is an unedited raw whose camera JPEG the
viewer is showing — the same `has_import_look` gate the preview path uses.
- `grid::skips_the_real_render` is the decision (unit-tested): a cached render as stand-in, an edited
photo and a raw without an embedded JPEG all still render, because their thumbnail must show the
pipeline's output rather than the camera's.
- `Renderer::remember_embedded_thumb` records the quick render's key and the bucket, and
`thumb_quick_is_final` / `thumb_quick_pending` let the per-frame grid request stop at the embedded
preview instead of rebuilding the render job (and its cache key) every frame.
- The thumbnail key still follows the settings hash, so editing a photo re-renders its thumbnail
through the ordinary background path.
`docs/raw-preview-reads.md` and the `LR-IMP-PREVIEW-READ` parity row record the behaviour and the
numbers.

A Sony body shot in Adobe RGB writes ColorSpace Uncalibrated with InteropIndex R03 in the raw's EXIF and leaves the
embedded JPEG untagged, so the look was fitted against the JPEG decoded as sRGB. The EXIF fallback now applies to
all makes (the Nikon maker note still wins); DNGs are skipped, since their previews come from the converter.
Color Grading gets 3-Way / Shadows / Midtones / Highlights tabs (3-Way by
default). 3-Way shows three equal wheels; a range tab shows one large wheel
with that range's Hue, Saturation and Luminance sliders. Blending and Balance
are in every tab.
Precision (#559):
- Shift-drag on a wheel locks the hue and changes saturation only; the whole
spoke is drawn as a guide. Shift can be pressed or released mid-drag.
- A white dot marks each wheel's neutral centre.
- The large wheel has dashed 25/50/75 % saturation rings.
- 3-Way shows the hovered wheel's hue and saturation above it.
Each wheel has an eye (bottom-left, on hover) that hides its effect for
viewing only: RenderJob::with_hidden_grading renders those wheels neutral
under their own key, never cached as the photo's preview. Not an edit, not
saved, reset on another photo; export is unaffected.

Canon EOS R50 C-RAW files reach QP 168 (quant 44, step 102, measured about 100). The quantization step and the adaptive QP map range accept it; anything above stays rejected. Bumps RENDER_CACHE_VERSION since such files change from the embedded preview to a raw decode.
