eframe's default wgpu instance enables PRIMARY | GL on Windows. Creating
the OpenGL backend can crash inside AMD's atio6axx.dll before the window
appears, so the app exits silently at launch. When WGPU_BACKEND is not
set, the Windows instance now enables only DirectX 12; an explicit
WGPU_BACKEND is still honoured. macOS, Linux and web are unchanged.
Same fix as storytold/designcraft#168 and storytold/filmcraft#179.

The desktop app installed no logger, so every log::warn!/log::error! in
the workspace was discarded: the crash guard's panic report, a failed
crash-recovery save, PowerPoint parts skipped on import, audio output
problems. A launch from a desktop menu has no terminal either, so there
was nothing to attach to a bug report.
apps/deckcraft/src/logging.rs (no new dependency):
- standard error plus <settings dir>/logs/deckcraft.log (beside ui.json
and prefs.json); each launch rotates the previous log to
deckcraft.1.log and .2.log, so the log of a run that crashed survives
the next start; the file is capped at 16 MiB
- records logged before the settings directory is known are buffered
(bounded) and written once the file is attached
- default levels: info for deckcraft*, warn for everything else;
RUST_LOG replaces them with env_logger-style directives
- never panics: an unusable directory or a failed write leaves standard
error as the only sink; a poisoned lock is tolerated
- a record holds the lock for one write of an already formatted line
The cpal error callback runs on the realtime audio thread (on ALSA in a
loop while the device stays broken), so it no longer logs: it keeps the
first error without blocking, and the UI thread logs it when the stream
stops.
The logger is installed first in main (before the engine's panic hook)
and the file is opened after argument parsing (--version leaves no
file). The settings directory moves out of prefs_path into config_dir.
The start-up eprintln!s (sample, files that fail to open, control
server) now go through the logger. Documented in README.md (Getting
started > Logs).

- crates/media: probe (duration, rate/channels, size/fps; WMA/WMV recognised), audio decode to
f32 PCM (MP3, AAC M4A/ADTS, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, CAF, FLAC, Vorbis via symphonia; Opus with our
decoder in Ogg/WebM/MKV), video decode (MP4/MOV/WebM/MKV) with YUV->RGBA, poster frames,
trim/fade/volume, Player mixer + per-voice clock (device-clocked or wall-clocked), VideoFeed.
- Codec crates ported from FilmCraft: bitstream, h264, hevc, vp9, av1, isobmff, matroska, ogg, opus.
- insert.audio/insert.video probe and store duration/size and a poster frame; unplayable media
is embedded with a warning. New media.play/pause/toggle/stop/seek/info/posterFrame.
- UI: MediaHost (cpal output injected by the desktop app), control bar under media, video frames
on canvas and in the show; autoplay, click to play, loop, rewind, across slides, hide, full screen.
- Tests with in-code WAV/AIFF and CC0 self-generated fixtures (make.sh, ATTRIBUTION.md rows).

- apps/slidecraft-web: SlideApp in the browser via eframe's web runner (trunk; WebGPU with
WebGL2 fallback). Opens the sample deck (?blank for empty, ?show to present, ?webgl to force
WebGL2). Open/Insert use the browser file picker through Services::open_async + inbox;
Save/Export download; dropped files are read asynchronously.
- ui-egui: native-only synchronous drop handling (wasm uses the inbox), real clock on wasm
(js_sys::Date::now), About shows build commit/date when SLIDECRAFT_BUILD_SHA/DATE are set.
- .github/workflows/release.yml (push to `release` / workflow_dispatch): macOS universal
signed+notarized dmg, Windows x64/x86 signed msi + portable zip, Linux AppImage/deb/rpm/tar.gz
(x86_64, aarch64), Flatpak bundle, FreeBSD tar.gz (vmactions), web zip; draft GitHub Release
"SlideCraft v<version>" from [workspace.package] version. Same secret names as DesignCraft.
- freebsd.yml and packaging-lint.yml CI, ported from DesignCraft.
- packaging/: macOS (Info.plist, entitlements, cert import), Windows (WiX with new UpgradeCode,
.slidecraft ProgId, Open-with for pptx), Linux (.desktop, AppStream, MIME, nfpm, Flatpak),
FreeBSD and web scripts; shared setup in packaging/common.sh.
- apps/slidecraft/build.rs embeds icon + VERSIONINFO on Windows; slidecraft.icns/.ico generated
from the committed PNGs by packaging/icons.sh.
