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.
