## Progress log
- 2026-10-11: Canon EOS R5 Mark II C-RAW decodes from sensor data (57% of its files opened as a
preview): the CRX QP map's first-symbol literal and limited-length escape; four CC0 R5 Mark II files
pinned, the QP maps of 33,665 private C-RAW files decode exactly ([cr3.md](docs/cr3.md)). 235 models
verified; RAW decoding 76% → 77%; headline numbers unchanged.
- **2026-10-10 (UI docking):** Library, Tools, and Presets panels can be regrouped, split, floated within the app window, closed, and reopened. Tools keeps the current Edit/Crop/Masking mode; the photo view and filmstrip stay together. Panel moves and reset are available as UI commands, and saved UI preferences retain arrangements. Widget state styling uses the shared `craft-ui` theme helper, retaining the dark palette, typography, spacing and per-state borders. No readiness percentage change.

of the subband base and a minimum step of one. QP values 131–167 are verified;
unmeasured values are rejected.
The QP map is coded as follows (established on the EOS R5 Mark II). Its first symbol is a 32-bit
big-endian literal, mapped like every other symbol and added to a prediction of zero. Every later
symbol is Rice coded with a limited-length escape: a quotient of 23 or more is written as 23 zeros,
the terminating 1 and the symbol in 8 bits. This is the escape layout of ITU-T T.87 for a 32-bit
code-length limit and 8-bit symbols, without that standard's minus-one offset. In the R8 maps only
the first symbol needs more than 15 leading zeros, and its bits read the same whether taken as a
32-bit literal or as an escape after 16 zeros with a 16-bit literal (the rule LightCraft used before).
The R7 maps decoded to their exact ends under that rule, which a later long prefix would have broken;
no R7 file was at hand to recheck them. R5 Mark II maps (QP 150–162) also jump by up to 12 where the Rice parameter is 0. That
gives 18- to 22-zero prefixes, which the 16-zero rule misread as escapes ("Canon CRX adaptive QP value
−21087" and other out-of-range values; the file then opened as a preview). It also gives real escapes,
symbols 23 and 24. Escapes were seen only where the Rice parameter is 0 (in 100 of 612 maps; all 351 inspected, up to 10 per map); at a larger
parameter they would use the same layout, which is unobserved. With this coding the QP maps of all
33,665 R5 Mark II C-RAW files in a private library (version `0x200`, 8480 × 5650) decode to the exact
end of their entropy streams, with values 150–162. So do the reduced-size tracks of 306 of those
files, the two CC0 R5 Mark II C-RAW files above and the R8 C-RAW fixture; all six fixture hashes are
unchanged. Under the 16-zero rule, 174 of those 306 files (57%) failed and opened as previews, all
with out-of-range values (none at QP 168). The two CC0 C-RAW files are low-ISO shots whose maps need no
long prefix: they decoded under the old rule too, so the escape is covered by synthetic unit tests in
`crx.rs` rather than by a public file. Render cache version 43 redraws thumbnails of files whose decode
changed; photos imported as preview-only switch over with Photo ▸ Reload from Disk.
The R5 Mark II sensor has 5650 rows (3574 in crop mode), so its Bayer planes have odd heights (2825,
1787). Lossless planes decode as before. In C-RAW every wavelet level has an odd height (2825 → 1413 →
707), and each subband's entropy stream ends exactly where the subband geometry says. The synthesis
uses the same boundary rules that are verified on the R8's odd lengths. Decoded rows show no step
down to the last sensor row, and the developed images match the camera's embedded JPEGs at 100 %.
An odd QP-map height (EOS R7: 4732 sensor rows give 1183 QP rows) leaves the
last row of the second-level high-frequency bands without a partner row; that
row's QP is used on its own. The odd-height map decodes to the exact end of its

### Canon EOS R5 Mark II
- Canon EOS R5 Mark II C-RAW files that opened as "preview only" (more than half of them, depending on the
scene) now develop from their sensor data with every editing tool, like the camera's other raws. Photos
imported earlier switch over with Photo ▸ Reload from Disk.
