- `Project::to_file_json` writes `savedBy` (the EffectCraft version) ahead of the project and
checks that the text reads back before anything is written: JSON has no NaN or infinity, so
such a value made a file that saved but could never be opened. Save now fails with a message
and the file on disk is left as it was.
- Opening a project saved by a newer EffectCraft warns that settings this version doesn't know
are lost on saving; `file.open` reports `savedBy`. A file that isn't a project names itself in
the error.
- Increment and Save keeps the extension (`.ecprojx` stays XML); Save a Copy writes XML for
`.ecprojx` / `.xml` paths, like Save As.
- Docs: architecture (document model), parity.

- Group Shapes (Ctrl+G) / Ungroup Shapes (Ctrl+Shift+G) sit in the Layer menu itself, as in
After Effects (they were under Mask and Shape Path).
- Window ▸ Learn opens the Home screen's Learn tab.
- Composition ▸ Composition Flowchart is Ctrl+Shift+F11 and Window ▸ Flowchart Ctrl+F11 (the
flowchart had the panel's shortcut and the panel none).
- Layer ▸ Transform ▸ Center In View shows Ctrl+Home.
- "Reveal in Finder" reads "Reveal in Explorer" on Windows and "Reveal in File Manager" on
Linux (`menus::platform_label`).
- Docs: parity (View ▸ New Viewer noted as not yet).

- Pre-compose makes the new composition with the original's pixel aspect, background, motion
blur and frame blending settings and 3D renderer (`Comp::nested_like`); it kept only size,
rate and background.
- File ▸ New Comp from Selection records one undo step (two per item before) and takes each
item's pixel aspect. Several items selected open the New Composition from Selection dialog:
Single / Multiple Compositions, Use Dimensions From, Still Duration (default from Settings ▸
Import ▸ Still Footage), Add to Render Queue, Sequence Layers with Overlap, Duration and
Transition. `file.newCompFromSelection {single, dimensionsFrom, duration, addToRenderQueue,
sequence, overlap, overlapDuration, transition}`; `layer.addItem {duration}` for stills.
- Docs: parity.

- Locked layers can't be selected (Timeline click, Select All, Ctrl+Up/Down; shy layers while
hidden too) and are left alone by Clear/Delete, Arrange, Layer ▸ Transform and Center Anchor
Point, which fail when every target is locked (`commands::unlocked`, `commands::selectable`).
- Deleting a parent unparents its children where they are, in the same undo step: the
pick-whip compensation moved out of `layer.setParent` into `layer::parent_fixes` /
`ParentFix::apply`, which now also handles separated X/Y Position.
- Bring Forward / Send Backward move each selected layer one step (a non-contiguous selection
was squeezed into one block).
- Center In View / Fit to Comp keep a 3D layer's Z (and Fit keeps Scale/Anchor Z); Reset /
Center / Fit / Center Anchor Point work with separated dimensions (`layer::update_position`).
- Duplicate and paste keep parents and track mattes, following the copies when both were
copied; paste dropped them always.
- Docs: agents, parity.

- Layer ▸ Layer Settings on a solid or adjustment layer opens Solid Settings on the layer's
solid (it ran an empty command before): name (renames the layer and the solid), size, Pixel
Aspect Ratio, colour, and "Affect all layers that use this solid". It starts off, as in After
Effects, so changing a solid other layers share gives this layer its own copy.
`layer.settings {pixelAspect?, affectAll?}` → `{layer, solid?}`; `layer.newSolid {pixelAspect?}`.
- Nulls ask for their name; text and shape layers have no settings (the entry is disabled).
- Composition Settings / New Composition and Solid Settings register an automation id for
every control (`dialog.comp.*`, `dialog.solid.*`). Composition Settings takes any typed frame
rate besides the list, and New Composition starts from the last settings used.
- Colour buttons in both dialogs show the stored sRGB colour (`widgets::srgb_color_button`);
egui's linear picker showed it lighter.
- Docs: agents, parity.

- Quit and the window's close button, File ▸ New Project, Open Project, Open Recent, Close
Project, the demo project and a Home template show Save / Don't Save / Cancel when the
project has unsaved changes (Save asks for a path when untitled; cancelling that keeps the
project open). File ▸ Revert asks to discard. Before, all of them dropped unsaved work
without asking.
- The window title shows the project's path and `*` while it is modified.
- The modified mark follows undo: the session keeps the snapshot it last opened or saved
(`Session::saved_project`), so undoing, jumping in the History panel or rolling back a batch
to the saved state clears it.
- An edit that changes nothing (a value set to what it already is) records no undo step and
doesn't mark the project modified (`Project::same_content`, comparing untouched comps by
pointer).
- Agents' `engine.execute` / MCP calls are never asked; `ui.menu.invoke` shows the prompt like a
click (automation ids `dialog.unsaved.save` / `dontSave` / `revert` / `cancel`), and the
control channel's `app.quit {force: true}` skips it.
- Docs: architecture, agents, control protocol, parity.

warp.status solved the stabilization plan (Subspace Warp eigen-decompositions and mesh fits)
on the page the first time it saw an analysis: ~4.9 s blocking the browser's event loop in
the smoke test. The analysis job now sends the plan summary with its result, and a settings
change has a WarpPlan job solve it (status reports stabilizing meanwhile). Desktop unchanged.

contentFill.generate sends its plan (FillPlan) to a browser job worker:
the layer's frames render in passes on the worker's WebGPU device, the PNG
sequence goes back to browser storage (Services::store_file), and the page
adds the fill layer when the plan returns (WorkerReply::Fill). The smoke
test checks it; docs updated.

- GPU in browser job workers: each job worker opens its own WebGPU device
(deferred readbacks); the Render Queue export and the analyses' frame loops
are futures (render::passes, offload::run_request_async) whose frames
render in passes, awaiting the device between them. GPU particles and
Advanced 3D read back under keys too. workers.jobs reports passes and
readbacks; the smoke test measures them.
- Layer buffers in the browser's OPFS disk cache: frame workers back their
layer caches with a PrefetchStore; the page plans what to fetch before a
request from recent misses (LayerPrefetch over the shared DiskIndex).
- Templates embed footage (default on, size-capped with a warning) and
creating from a template extracts it next to the new project / into
browser storage.
- ICC LUT profiles (lut8/lut16/lutAtoB/lutBtoA, from the public ICC spec) in
Simulate Output > My Custom RGB, baked into a 3D LUT for the viewer.

The geometry stays on the CPU as per-frame plans shared with the CPU effects (bolts, mask
strokes, scribbles, contour segments, audio marks, glyph strokes, waves, flood-fill region,
eyedropper sample); segments and convex polygons are tile-binned and rasterised on the GPU
with the CPU's coverage functions. CPU output unchanged (gen_golden). CC Threads' exact ties
at round parameter values are a documented exception; Fractal stays on the CPU (needs f64).
Regenerated docs/effects.md, docs/parity.md EFF-5.

GPU render passes for CC Particle World / Systems II, Particle Playground,
CC Ball Action, CC Pixel Polly, CC Scatterize and Curl Noise (fx_particles,
chunked multi-pass raster); Shatter wireframe views, Foam extras, Timewarp
with a Matte Layer, strong Warp Fisheye/Twist (CPU f64 inverse map) and
custom .ocio configs no longer fall back to the CPU. CPU refactors pinned by
particle_golden / timewarp_golden / sim_golden hashes.

Inner/Outer Key's trimap and Cleanup strokes, Color Link's sample and CC Glass/Plastic's
light are shared with the CPU effects (CPU output unchanged: gen_golden). CC Plastic now
reads its Bump Layer (it read the nonexistent bumpMap id).

Pin exact CPU pixel hashes of the simulation effects refactored into shared
GPU plans in M13.23 (CC Rainfall/Snowfall/Star Burst/Bubbles/Drizzle/Hair/
Mr. Mercury, Caustics, Wave World, Foam, Shatter, Card Dance, Card Wipe):
404 frames over default and non-default settings, four times incl. a seek
backwards, 8 and 32 bpc, full and half resolution. Verified bit-identical
between 7a5a93b (before M13.23) and 808ca70 (after).

FilmCraft's AV1 decoder now frame-threads by default, so a picture may
come out of a later decode call; the round-trip check wants each
packet's picture from its own call.

Bump the FilmCraft crates from 89cfbf2 to 2c5ba7a (118 commits; no API
changes needed here), whose Matroska reader now decodes the VP9 alpha
stream from BlockAdditions. The compositing QA scenario now checks that
WebM renders round-trip their alpha like ProRes 4444.
