A running script reached `prefs.set` through `app.run` and could turn on
Settings > Scripting & Expressions > Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access
Network (or turn off Warn User When Executing Files), which the File, Socket
and system.callSystem gates then read: the permission the user withheld was
the script's to take.
Commands a script issues now go through `Session::execute_for_script`, which
marks the session as running for a script for the command and everything it
runs (engine.batch, ScriptUI callbacks, scheduled tasks). While it is,
`prefs.set` refuses any change that would leave the Application Scripting
settings different (compared on the resulting settings, so dotted keys,
whole-page objects and batches are all covered), and a script's
`prefs.reset` keeps them as the user set them. Command scripts read from a
file (File > Scripts > Run Script File... with .json/.jsonl) count as
scripts too. The UI, CLI, control channel and MCP still change them.

prop.deselect resolved its uid through prop_ref, which only finds leaf
properties, so mask.selected=false threw. Resolve it as prop.select does.

LayerCollection.addSolid dropped its fifth argument, so layer.newSolid
fell back to the composition's pixel aspect. The wrapper now passes
pixelAspect through; layer.newSolid already validates it.

`effectcraft-cli script FILE` passes the file's text to script.run, which
ran a compiled .jsxbin script as JavaScript and failed with "SyntaxError:
unexpected '@'" at 1:1, while file.runScript already says .jsxbin isn't
supported.
script.run now refuses a script named `.jsxbin` or whose text starts with
the `@JSXBIN@` header, with file.runScript's message (one shared
constant). The check is in the command, so the CLI with or without
--bridge, MCP run_script and the Script Console all report it.
Tests: engine_entry_points (by header and by name), script_file_and_eval
(the CLI exits 1 with the message and no SyntaxError).

Composition Settings ▸ Advanced has both options (they were missing from the model, the
renderer and the dialog):
- Preserve frame rate: nested in another comp, the comp shows only its own frames
(`EvalCtx::nested_time` floors the precomp layer's source time to the nested comp's frame
rate; used for the nested frame, its proxy, aux channels, collapsed transformations and the
viewer's internal wireframes), and the Render Queue renders it at its own rate whatever the
Frame Rate override (`RenderSettings::rate`).
- Preserve resolution: nested in a comp rendered at Half / Third / Quarter, it renders at full
size and the buffer's scale places it.
- `comp.settings {preserveFrameRate, preserveResolution}`, `comp.info` reports them, scripts
read and set `CompItem.preserveNestedFrameRate` / `preserveNestedResolution`, Pre-compose
copies them, and the dialog registers `dialog.comp.preserveFrameRate` /
`dialog.comp.preserveResolution`.

The getters were registered as keySpatialInTangent / keySpatialOutTangent,
so scripts using the documented After Effects names failed with
"TypeError: not a callable function" (setSpatialTangentsAtKey and the
other keySpatial* methods already use AE's names).

Fill's ADBE Fill-0002 is Color (documented numbering); essential.* controls by name with
a listing error; an explicit comp param satisfies a command's active-comp enablement.

Adding a property already in the Essential Graphics panel adds a mirror
(EgKind::Mirror: own name and place, one value in the comp and in every
instance; editing, reverting or pushing either acts on both). A property
control can also drive further properties of the comp (links follow the
main property both ways and take instance values). essential.addMirror,
essential.linkProperty, essential.unlinkProperty; panel badges and menu;
ExtendScript addToMotionGraphicsTemplate(As), canAddToMotionGraphicsTemplate,
motionGraphicsTemplateName, controller count/name and
exportAsMotionGraphicsTemplate.
