Removes the engine's production expect() calls: background-job polling (camera, mask, roto,
point and warp tracking, render queue) uses let-else / if-let instead of take().expect("job"),
command helpers bind what they checked instead of re-reading it with expect, the menu bar falls
back to an empty tree (logged) instead of expect()ing that a constant parses, and
autotrace/text animator group lookups no longer expect a just-inserted group. perf.rs, the
benchmark harness behind `effectcraft-cli bench --ops`, opts out with a module-level allow.
Test-only unreachable!() calls become panic!() (clippy.toml allows panics in tests). Denies the
panic lints in the crate.

sampleImage renders the sampled layer through the evaluating renderer's footage source
(EvalCtx::footage), cached per thread and frame. File > Import reads .json/.csv/.tsv as data
footage kept in the project. expr.errors collects failing expressions for the error bar;
expr.languageMenu lists the categorised Expression Language menu. Marker keys expose
protectedRegion and cue points; colorDepth, timeToFeetAndFrames, comp.activeCamera.
