Raw variants the decoder can't read yet (e.g. Nikon Huffman-compressed NEF
from a D3200/D5100) silently fell back to the camera's embedded JPEG, so
users edited a JPEG with the camera's picture style (e.g. Monochrome) baked
in without being told.
- catalog: Photo.preview_only (serde default; old catalogs load), set /
cleared by Op::SetContent with an exact inverse; Photo::develops_raw().
- engine: ProbeInfo.preview_only carries the decoder's Unsupported reason
into import, the import review (previewOnly) and catalog.query
(previewOnly); photo.inspect includes it. photo.reload and photo.relink
re-probe and clear/set it when the file decodes (or not) now.
- source_info: a preview-only raw is a rendered source (relative WB scale,
display tone curve) instead of raw:true/5500 K + filmic tone map on a
display-referred JPEG; import uses the JPEG default preset for it; the
Edit panel shows the rendered-file WB sliders.
- UI: "Preview" badge on grid thumbnails, a pill on the loupe, a notice in
Edit and Info (amber caution token, Info icon drawn in code).
- Tests: catalog serde/undo, engine import -> reopen -> reload/relink,
headless UI badge/notice widgets.

- develop.quickAdjust {control, delta}: adds a step to every target photo's own value (one undo
step); the Edit panel shows Quick Develop rows (exposure ⅓ / 1 stop, contrast, highlights,
shadows, whites, blacks, clarity, vibrance, temperature) in the grid with several selected.
- library.findSimilar {id?, similarity?}: look-alike photos by their culling signature (cached
per content), most similar first, as a view filter (Filter.only); photo menu entry.
- develop.matchExposure: selected photos' Exposure set so shutter × ISO ÷ aperture² + slider
matches the active photo; photos without exposure data are skipped.
- Impromptu slideshow row marked (View ▸ Slideshow).

lightcraft-pipeline cull.rs: focus (Laplacian energy of the sharpest 16-px blocks at 512 px,
0–100, calibrated on the CC0 corpus), clipping share and an 8×8 look-alike signature.
photo.analyze scores the selection (else the view), groups look-alike shots taken within 10 s
into bursts and marks each burst's sharpest; optionally rejects photos below a focus score and
picks each burst's best (one undo step). Scores live on the photo (Analysis, Op::SetAnalysis):
rule fields Focus and Best of Similar Shots, Info panel line. Photo ▸ Assisted Culling….

A 100k-photo scaling check (ignored test `scale_100k_library_queries`) showed the left
panel rebuilding the keyword tree every frame (323 ms), the grid recomputing date headers
(57 ms) and the Keywords panel its suggestions (44 ms) every frame.
- keyword_tree builds with hash maps instead of linear sibling scans: 323 → 57 ms at 100k.
- LightcraftApp::caches keeps the keyword tree, date runs and keyword suggestions per catalog
revision (and inputs), so each is computed once per change instead of every frame.

Op::SetContent records a photo's file facts (size, dimensions, content hash; undoable).
photo.reload re-probes the photos' files and, for those that changed on disk, updates them and
drops their cached sources; render keys now include the file's content key, so the grid and
loupe re-render. The app reloads this session's external-edit copies whenever its window
regains focus (with a toast).

- Auto versions: leaving an edited photo keeps its settings as an Auto version (when they
differ from its latest version; 20 kept); saved with the library, not an undo step.
- View ▸ Slideshow (⌥⌘↩, `interval`): the photos in view full screen, wrapping; Space
pauses, ←/→ step, Esc ends.
- Photo ▸ Convert to DNG (photo.convertToDng): lossless DNG next to the raw with the settings
embedded; the photo and its virtual copies are relinked (Relink gains an optional format),
originals kept, undoable. Import: Copy as DNG (`dng`) for copy imports.
- A fine grid over the photo while a geometry slider is dragged.
- View ▸ Show Photo Counts; Help ▸ System Info… (app.systemInfo, JSON for agents).
- Native menus: modified Enter accelerators.
- Parity rows refreshed (target / quick collection, auto sync, location rules, bring to front).

Albums gain a `quick` flag: the Quick Collection is created the first time B adds to it.
album.toggleTarget adds the selection to the target album (the Quick Collection unless
album.setTarget names another regular album) or removes it when all of it is already there;
album.clearQuick empties it. B in the photo / square grids does this (with a toast); in the
loupe and edit views B stays the masking brush. Album menu: Set as Target Album / Stop Using
as Target Album / Clear Quick Collection; the target is marked + in the list.

Filter.labels: a photo matches when its label is any of them. The filter bar's label toggles
add / remove labels from the set instead of replacing the single label; the summary reads
"label red or yellow". The filter already persists across albums (locked, as in the desktop
app).

lightcraft-catalog gains rules.rs: RuleSet {match: all|any|none, rules: [{field, op, value} |
{group}]} with text, keyword, number, date (is / before / after / between / in the last N
hours…years) and choice operators over 26 fields (rating, flag, label, type, edits, keywords,
any text, filename, title, camera, lens, location, dates, ISO, aperture, focal length,
megapixels, GPS, virtual copy, album…). Filter.ruleSet: smart albums and library.filter use it;
"in the last" counts from the session clock. album.ruleFields lists fields and operators for
agents; rules are validated.
UI: File ▸ New Smart Album… / album context menu ▸ Edit Smart Album… open the rule editor
(field / operator / value rows with per-kind editors, + / − / ⌥+ for groups, live match count).

- develop.autoSync (Edit ▸ Auto Sync, ⌥⇧⌘A): an edit of the active photo carries only the
settings that changed to the other selected photos, in one undo step; slider drags sync on
release; spots / red eye and history restores stay per photo. Edit ▸ Sync Settings in the
menu; Edit panel banner while it's on with several photos selected.
- Colour-label sets: built-in Colors / Review sets plus user sets in prefs (label.sets,
applySet, saveSet, deleteSet); listed in Photo ▸ Set Color Label; the names dialog can start
from a set and save one. XMP sidecars and exported originals write the label's name, and
reading resolves custom names back to their colour.
- Crop: ⌘-drag draws a straighten line and keeps the crop tool active.

- develop.autoBwMix (B&W Mixer → Auto): each hue band's colourful pixels are pushed away from
the image's mean lightness (light bands brighter, dark ones darker; bands with almost no
colour untouched), clamped to ±60; switches to B&W; one undo step.
- library.filter {merged: hdr | panorama | hdrPanorama | any}: Photo Merge results recognised
by the "-HDR" / "-Pano" / "-HDR-Pano" names merges write; filter bar type picker lists HDR,
Panoramas, HDR Panoramas.

- Export watermark can be a graphic (watermark {image, imageWidth}): a logo with transparency,
scaled premultiplied to a share of the photo's width, converted into the output colour
space, placed with the same anchor / inset / opacity as text; decoded once per file.
Export dialog: Text / Graphic, Choose…, width; size and shadow apply to text only.
- Recently Added: everything imported in the 30 days up to the latest import, newest import
first, grouped by import day (was the latest import day only).

- metadata.savePreset / applyPreset / presets / deletePreset: named sets of copyright,
creator, title, caption, place and keywords (text replaces, keywords add; one undo step),
saved with the library; Photo → Metadata Preset (apply, Save Metadata Preset… from the active
photo's copyright, creator and place); Settings → Import applies one to every import
(library.preferences import.metadataPreset).
- stack.split (this photo and those after it become their own stack; single leftovers are
unstacked), stack.moveUp / moveDown; in the Stack menus.

- library.missing lists photos whose file isn't where the library expects it; photo.relink
points one at its new location; library.findMissing {folder} relinks every missing photo
whose file (same name and size) is somewhere in a folder, in one undoable step. New
Op::Relink: like a rename in the catalog, but undo/redo never move files.
- UI: File → Find Missing Photos…, photo menu → Locate Missing File… (when the file is gone).
- Renderer: a remembered failure is retried once the catalog changes (a relinked file).

- library.browse {path, subfolders}: a folder's photos are read in place as "local" photos
(catalog flag, SetLocal op) that only folder views list — not All Photos, albums, date
groups, keyword counts or stats. photo.addToLibrary promotes them; importing the folder for
real promotes instead of reporting duplicates. The browsed folder persists with the view.
- UI: Local section (Pictures, Desktop, Downloads, Home, the browsed folder, Browse Folder…);
folder views get a breadcrumb header (each part opens that folder), Include subfolders and
"Add N to My Photos".
- Renderer: a job that fails (unreadable / missing file) is remembered by slot + key and not
requested again every frame — the grid re-queued it forever (a render loop per broken
file). The loupe says "This photo can't be opened" with the reason; grid cells show "!".
ui.inspect lists pending render slots.
- Headless app.export (MCP, lightcraft-cli run) exports the selection like the desktop app.

- Metadata gains alt text, extended description, sublocation, city, state/province, country:
catalog, photo.setMeta, copy/paste metadata, XMP read/write (Iptc4xmpCore AltText /
ExtDescrAccessibility / Location, photoshop City / State / Country), sidecars and export
(place fields dropped with "remove location").
- Info panel: camera card (camera, lens, size · file size, format badge, focal length,
shutter, aperture, ISO), then title, caption, alt text, extended description, copyright,
creator, file name (rename), file path (reveal), captured (edit), place fields, GPS.
- Text fields keep what is typed across frames and save on focus loss (they were rebound to
the stored value every frame). New pencil icon (drawn in code); dates::display_time.

- By Date: year → month → day rows with counts and disclosure triangles; a row filters by
that date prefix (catalog date_groups now carries days).
- Settings → Import → Metadata: copyright and creator given to imported photos that don't
carry their own (library.preferences {import: {copyright, creator}}), saved with the library.

Op::SetCaptured (validated, journaled), photo.setCaptureTime (the active photo gets the time,
others keep their offsets; or each / shift / hours), Edit Capture Time dialog with preview
(Photo menu, Info panel); engine + headless tests incl. op-log replay.

Settings (Cmd+, / app menu on macOS, Edit elsewhere) with General, Import,
Performance and Interface tabs. App settings (startup view, delete
confirmation, GPU, preview size, filmstrip/grid badges, last library) live in
UiState.settings (ui.json); library settings (raw / non-raw / per-camera
import presets, XMP, thumbnail cache size) go through library.preferences into
prefs.json. Import applies the matching default preset; the photo remembers it
as its import look (unedited; Reset returns to it). Open Library… switches
libraries at runtime.
View modes: F full-screen preview (photo on black, arrows step, I cycles the
info overlay, Esc exits), Cmd+Shift+F window full screen, Cmd+I cycles the
loupe info overlay (off / file + date / exposure), Navigator mini map while
zoomed (click/drag pans).

Catalog keyword ops (one SetMeta batch: undoable, replayed from the op log), hierarchical
a|b|c keywords (tree with counts, parent filters include children), keyword.* commands,
rename/merge dialogs, Keywords-panel suggestions; catalog, engine and headless tests.

Catalog date runs (stacks never split), Sort.group (auto/day/month/year/none) in the sort
menus, library.groups query, sticky headers, header click selects the group; layout unit
tests and a headless test.

Resolved: album.create (main's one-liner + smart: None), menus (panels in
the Window menu, main's dialog.newFolder ⇧⌘N, app.showInFinder and
app.exportPrevious placed in the menu layout), shortcuts (native-menu skip
+ main's aliases and UI-over-engine rule; Shift+X/Shift+U aliases go
through the culling path; my Shift+P/X/U flag-and-advance dropped in
favour of the aliases). X and Delete stay egui-handled (contextual keys).

Photo.copy_of / copy_name. photo.virtualCopy (Cmd+') clones the photo with
independent settings and history, names it "Copy N" (numbered per master),
adds it to the original's albums and stacks it (expanded) right after the
original; one undo step for several copies (Session::merge_undo). Copies
never write XMP sidecars. "Copy N" badge in the grid, Info panel line,
copy:yes search token. Also: Info panel stars laid out in a row.

Stack entity in the catalog (AddStack/RemoveStack/SetStack ops with
inverses, validation, snapshot + journal replay property test). Helpers
build ops for group (merging stacks), ungroup, remove, set top, collapse,
and stack_with_ops() for future merge results. Views arrange stack members
together and collapse to the top. Commands stack.* (Cmd+G, Cmd+Shift+G, S,
Shift+S, expand/collapse all, stack.auto with preview); grid/filmstrip
count badges (click to toggle), context menu, Auto-Stack dialog.

Album.smart holds Filter rules (rating, flag, label, kind, edited, keyword,
camera, lens, capture date range, text, album); SetAlbumRules op with
inverse, validation (no nested smart albums, no deleted), journal replay
property test. album.createSmart (from the current view or explicit rules),
album.setRules; New Smart Album dialog, smart icon, live counts.

- pipeline::optics::Warp: one inverse map (lens-corrected → source) inside the single geometry resample:
manual radial distortion, embedded DNG WarpRectilinear (per plane), per-channel lateral CA scale,
radial vignetting gain (manual + embedded FixVignetteRadial); all in normalized radii
- automatic lateral CA estimate: radial edge profiles matched sub-pixel per plane, robust LSQ fit of
displacement = α·r (cached per source)
- defringe: purple/green hue ranges (OkLab hue) desaturated next to high-contrast edges, width relative
to the image long edge
- "Enable Lens Corrections" applies only lens data embedded in DNGs (opcodes are no longer baked at decode;
stored on the photo record, on by default at import when present). No LCP data anywhere.
- new controls: optics.caRed/caBlue, defringe hue ranges; Optics panel: Manual sub-section, Defringe flyout
- tests: barrel grid straightened, CA removal (auto + manual), embedded corrections toggle/scale, preview vs
export resolution independence, CA estimator accuracy, orientation of embedded lens data

- catalog: Store trait (FsStore: temp+fsync+rename+dir fsync; MemStore),
Journal: CRC-checked JSON-lines op log with sequence numbers + atomic
snapshots; torn final record dropped and truncated, stale records after a
snapshot skipped, mid-log damage preserved as catalog.log.damaged-N.
- PushHistory op so each edit logs one history step (not the full history).
- engine: Session::open_library/persist/close_library; every top-level
command is fsynced before returning; presets.json + view.json;
library.info / library.compact commands.
- app: default library ~/Pictures/LightCraft Library (LIGHTCRAFT_LIBRARY or
--library DIR override), --memory for throwaway sessions, snapshot on quit.
- tests: proptest replay(log)==state with random snapshots/reopens, every
truncation of the last record, stale log, mid-log damage, FsStore, engine
restart without close.
