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.
