Daniel VoshartandClaude Sonnet 5 f29436a1f6 Meta: read MWG-RS face/pet/focus regions from XMP (read-only)
Adds Metadata::regions: Vec<Region>, populated by parse_xmp from mwg-rs:Regions
(MWG Region Guidelines v2.0) — the format Lightroom, digiKam and Picasa write
for face/pet/focus/barcode regions. Read-only: LightCraft does not write
regions yet (blocked on #92, which would otherwise clobber existing sidecars).

- Canonicalises the mwg-rs/stArea/stDim namespaces so any prefix a writer
  picks resolves consistently, reusing the existing generic struct/array XMP
  machinery (handles both the element and attribute encodings transparently).
- Area center-coordinates are converted to lightcraft_geom::Rect via
  Rect::from_center. Normalized units (the default, and the only unit we've
  seen in practice) need no AppliedToDimensions cross-reference; the rare
  pixel-unit region is converted when AppliedToDimensions is present, and
  dropped (not stored as a nonsense fraction) when it isn't.
- Hostile/malformed regions (missing Area, NaN/absurd/zero/negative extents)
  are skipped individually rather than failing the whole list or panicking.
- regions merges like keywords in fill_missing/overlay_user_fields, since it
  only ever comes from XMP today.

Not included: nothing yet reads Metadata::regions (no catalog field, no UI,
no command) — this is plumbing for a later PR, with no user-visible effect
and no docs/parity.md row to update.

cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy -D warnings, test, parity, layers, assets,
wasm).

lightcraft-meta (L1)

Photo metadata: EXIF, XMP (read + write), IPTC-IIM, and the containers that carry them.

API

Function Purpose
read_exif(&[u8]) -> Metadata TIFF-structured Exif block (whole TIFF/DNG/raw file, or JPEG APP1 payload with/without Exif\0\0). try_read_exif reports header errors.
from_tiff(&Tiff) -> Metadata Same, from an already parsed stream (used by lightcraft-raw).
embedded(&[u8]) -> Embedded Sniffs JPEG / PNG / WebP / TIFF and returns the Exif, XMP (+ extended XMP), ICC and IPTC blocks. jpeg_segments, png_chunks, webp_chunks are the per-container walkers.
parse_xmp(&str) -> Result<XmpData> Metadata + the opaque lc:settings JSON + every property (prefix:name, structs flattened as a:b/c:d).
write_xmp(&Metadata, Option<&str>) -> String Complete <?xpacket?> packet; the second argument is LightCraft's full develop settings JSON.
parse_iptc(&[u8]) -> Metadata IIM record 2: title (2:5), keywords (2:25), by-line (2:80), copyright (2:116), caption (2:120), date/time created (2:55/2:60).
extract(&[u8]) -> Metadata Everything for a whole file. Precedence: EXIF → IPTC fills gaps → XMP overrides user fields (rating, label, title, caption, artist, copyright, keywords, GPS) and fills the rest.

Metadata carries camera (make, model, serial, software), lens (make, model, serial, specification), capture (date-time with UTC offset and milliseconds, exposure time, f-number, ISO incl. extended ISO, focal length and 35 mm equivalent, flash, exposure bias, program, metering, white balance), orientation, GPS, dimensions and the user fields (artist, copyright, title, caption, keywords, hierarchical keywords, rating −1…5, colour label).

XMP namespaces

Written: dc, xmp, photoshop, exif, exifEX, tiff, lr (hierarchicalSubject) and ours, lc = http://ns.lightcraft.app/lc/1.0/ (lc:settings, an opaque JSON string). Reading canonicalises prefixes by namespace URI, handles attribute and element forms, rdf:Seq/Bag/Alt (x-default first), rdf:parseType="Resource" and nested-description structs, predefined and numeric entities. Nesting depth and node count are limited.

Robustness

No panics on malformed input: proptests feed random bytes to every container walker and random text to the XMP parser; truncation tests cut a sample JPEG at every byte.
