Matthew James SivakandClaude Opus 5.5 2434525b53 LR-MERGE-HDR: full-size alignment refinement and local alignment (refine.rs, flow.rs)
Split out of #1887 (part 2 of 3, stacked on part 1). The modules land on their
own; the HDR merge starts using them in part 3.

- refine.rs: an alignment found on <= 1200 px versions refined at full size.
  One 48 px patch at the most textured spot (smaller structure-tensor
  eigenvalue) of each of ~24 cells along the long edge, matched by masked
  normalised cross-correlation over the pixels usable in both frames with a
  sub-pixel peak (ambiguous and textureless patches dropped), fitted by RANSAC
  at 0.75 px with the simplest of translation / similarity / homography. Also
  recovers a frame with no alignment, searching +-16 px.
- flow.rs: what one homography leaves (parallax, distortion), measured on ~96
  tiles along the long edge within +-5 px, outliers against their neighbours'
  median dropped, gaps filled, the field smoothed; flow::warp resamples once
  through the homography plus the local shift (Lanczos-3). align::warp is
  flow::warp with no shift.

//! LightCraft Photo Merge: HDR merge and panorama stitching (layer L3, no UI dependencies).
//!
//! - [`frame`]: inputs — scene-linear frames from raw files (camera RGB) or standard images.
//! - [`hdr`]: exposure brackets → one scene-linear radiance image (auto-align, exposure
//! normalisation, saturation-aware weighting, deghosting with an overlay).
//! - [`pano`]: overlapping photos → one panorama (features, matching, RANSAC, rotation bundle
//! adjustment, spherical/cylindrical/perspective projection, exposure compensation, seams,
//! multi-band blending, boundary warp, auto crop, fill edges).
//! - [`output`]: results as linear DNGs (16-bit float for HDR) with the source's colour tags.
//!
//! Every algorithm here is our own implementation from published papers (cited in each module);
//! no code from GPL projects was consulted.
