Compare and Reference View are where focus is checked at 1:1, and their panes show the same
stand-ins as the loupe: a thumbnail while the photo renders, the last render after an
edit, the magnified frame under a window not in yet. Each pane now shows the loupe's
"Rendering…" pill once that has lasted half a second with nothing new (widget
`compare:rendering:<pane>`), and its failed pill ("This photo can't be opened", or
"Original offline · no smart preview", the reason on hover) when the render failed behind
a thumbnail (`compare:renderFailed:<pane>`). Survey's small fit tiles don't.
Compare panes have no draft renders, so a slider drag on the photo would leave its pane
saying "Rendering…" for the whole drag: the photo being dragged doesn't count until the
drag ends. Each pane's wait belongs to the photo in it, so one that moves in (swap, Make
Select) starts its own. A retry of a failed render keeps the failed pill, as in the loupe.
