A command whose journal append fails now returns EngineError::NotSaved
("saved in memory but not written to disk: <reason>; LightCraft will retry")
instead of OK. The change stays applied and undoable, its ops stay queued and
are written by the next save (any command, or the frame loop with a 2 s
backoff). Queries and commands that change nothing are unaffected; a failed
compaction is reported in lastError, not as a failed command (and a failed
synchronous snapshot now backs off like a background one).
Session::unsaved(), library.info unsavedOps/unsavedError, ui.inspect unsaved;
the desktop UI toasts the failure and shows a warning on the top bar's cloud
icon until a save succeeds.

The macOS malloc_zone_pressure_relief call (returns freed allocator pages
after raw decodes) lived in identical copies inside the desktop app and the
CLI. It now lives in lightcraft-sysmem, an isolated L0 helper crate and the
workspace's only crate allowed unsafe: one #[allow(unsafe_code)] module, a
SAFETY comment, a safe API that returns bytes released (0 off macOS), and
tests (repeat calls, release after large frees, concurrent calls). Both apps'
alloc_release.rs now just install the safe hook, and their crate roots gain
#![forbid(unsafe_code)], so every production crate except sysmem forbids it.
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md name the exception, per craftrules standards/never-crash.md.

DNG compression 34892: each tile / strip is a baseline JPEG of 8-bit samples (decoded with
zune-jpeg, pure Rust), then the usual linearization table, levels and crop apply. Per the DNG
specification. Lossy DNGs (Smart Previews, "lossy compression" DNG exports, many phone DNGs)
now open as raw files instead of falling back to their embedded preview. Unit test with
synthetic JPEG tiles (edge tile cut short); the corpus sample decodes (5760×3840 in 144 ms).

preset.import (File ▸ Import Presets…, Presets panel ⋯, drag & drop, CLI, MCP) now reads
everything people actually download or carry over from other editors:
- classic .lrtemplate files (Lua table literal parser; value.settings uses crs: field names),
including old process-version fields (Exposure, Contrast, FillLight, HighlightRecovery,
Shadows, Brightness, Clarity, ToneCurve) approximated with today's sliders;
- photos carrying their edits in XMP ("DNG presets" from mobile apps, edited JPEG/TIFF): the
look only, without the photo's crop, geometry or custom white balance;
- .zip bundles (stored + deflate) of any of these, skipping __MACOSX / hidden files;
- folders: the pack's folder name becomes the group, skipping app/format container folders
("Lightroom Classic", "XMP", "Mobile (DNG)"…).
Each imported preset reports the settings that had no counterpart (`unmapped`: profiles,
looks, local masks); the app's toast names them. dryRun previews, group overrides.
Dropped .lcpreset/.lrtemplate/.xmp/.zip files import as presets instead of photos.

library.importPreview scans/probes (probes reused by the import) and marks duplicates;
library.import gains preset, keywords and albumName and is one undo step; File > Add Photos
opens a review grid (thumbnails, checkboxes, duplicates unchecked), add in place or copy into
the dated Originals folders, batched import with progress; engine + headless tests.

RenderRequest gains an output space (default sRGB; previews stay sRGB). The per-pixel stage converts
scene-linear Rec.2020 to the target primaries, gamut-maps into the target gamut and encodes with the
target curve, on CPU and GPU (WGSL finish kernel reads the matrix, luma weights and curve from its
parameter block). sRGB output is byte-identical to before on the CPU. Export embeds our own
generated ICC profile for the space; AVIF stays sRGB. ExportOptions.colorSpace, export dialog and
MCP export schema. Tests: P3 colour survives a P3 export (decoded through the embedded profile),
every space/format round-trips its profile, GPU equivalence per space.

Photo Merge's Create Stack option now puts the merged DNG on top of a
collapsed stack of its sources (Catalog::stack_with_ops), so the grid
shows the result; test in tests_merge (and no stack without the option).
Photo Merge dialogs live in a Photo > Photo Merge submenu.

- engine: `merge.hdr`, `merge.panorama`, `merge.hdrPanorama` (bracket size from
EXIF); MergeJob (Send) with progress/cancel, preview renders through the develop
pipeline (deghost overlay, auto-crop frame); finish writes <name>-HDR/-Pano.dng
next to the first source, imports, selects, applies Auto Settings / auto crop
- ui: Photo Merge dialog (HDR / Panorama / HDR Panorama) with live preview on a
worker thread, background final merge with progress toast; context menu and
Ctrl+H / Ctrl+M (Ctrl now means the physical Control key on macOS)
- cli: `merge hdr|panorama|hdr-panorama`, `synth-merge` for synthetic inputs
- merge::synth: procedural brackets (DNG) and panorama views; docs/merge.md

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).

menubar.rs builds File/Edit/View/Photo/Window/Help from engine + UI
commands (layout table for order and separators, parameterized submenus
for rating, flag, label, sort, add to album), with live labels ("Undo
Exposure"), enabled and checked state; ui.menu.tree exposes it. The
desktop app installs it natively on macOS with muda (pure Rust over
AppKit; no GTK — muda is a macOS-only dependency): app menu (About,
Services, Hide, Quit), Window menu (Minimize/Zoom/Bring All to Front),
Help menu; per-frame state sync; accelerators without Cmd and the text
editing ones step aside while a text field has focus; natively handled
shortcuts are skipped by the egui handler. Other hosts (web, Windows,
Linux) get the same menus in the top bar. Panels/sections/tools move to
the Window menu. Verified with System Events: menus listed with live
enabled state, View > Survey dispatches.

- lightcraft-raw: RawImage::develop_binned(k) — k×k superpixel binning of the CFA
(Bayer k even, X-Trans k multiple of 3), black/white normalised row by row, default
crop only, clipping preserved for highlight reconstruction. 2560 px previews of a
24 MP raw bin 2×, thumbnails 4–8×; exports / 1:1 still demosaic (AHD) at full size.
- highlight::reconstruct and its pyramid fill are rayon-parallel (bit-exact).
- X-Trans directional demosaic: precomputed per-phase neighbour offsets and no
reflection in the interior, no per-pixel allocation (bit-exact, tested against the
reference formulation): 2.9 s → 0.75 s CPU at 24 MP.
- files::load_bytes runs on a rayon worker so its short parallel loops don't each
wait for the pool to wake (dominant cost on a loaded machine); LIGHTCRAFT_PROFILE
prints per-stage source timings; files::bin_factor picks the block size.
- render_bench ONLY=source: per-file decode / normalise / demosaic / binning / load.
- Fix: u64 overflow on hostile IFD sizes in DNG/ARW/NEF raw-IFD selection (proptest).
load_bytes(2560) CPU time, ARW a7 III 24 MP: 2347 → 240 ms; X-T20: 3120 → 1220 ms.

`media::develop` renders on the GPU when available (views, render_now, exports;
thumbnails stay on the CPU) and falls back to the CPU otherwise. `app.gpu
{enabled?}` toggles it at runtime, `LIGHTCRAFT_GPU=0` disables it for the process,
`ui.inspect` reports the adapter under perf.gpu.
Performance: dropped device buffers are recycled once their thread has submitted
(fresh 100-300 MB allocations per pass cost as much as the passes), Gaussian
passes ping-pong between two buffers and read all channels of a pixel at once,
and long box radii slide over longer chunks. LIGHTCRAFT_PROFILE prints real GPU
stage timings. render_bench prints CPU and GPU columns and the CPU/GPU difference.
24 MP ARW, loaded machine, min of 7: cold loupe 415 -> 32 ms, exposure drag
22-42 -> 3.9 ms, NR drag (1920) 301+ -> 18 ms, export render 1037+ -> 291 ms;
max 1 LSB difference. docs/gpu-pipeline.md describes the implementation.

The catalog Store on the web is an in-memory mirror (apps/lightcraft-web/src/files.rs) loaded
from browser storage at start-up and flushed in the background in modification order (so a
snapshot always lands before the log reset that follows it). Storage is OPFS when writable from
the main thread (createWritable), else IndexedDB (?store=idb forces it); ?reset clears it.
Imported originals are stored as originals/<content hash> and referenced as
web/<hash>/<name>; the main thread keeps a bounded memory cache and loads misses (and the
active photo) asynchronously. view.json and ui.json are saved every second when changed.
Engine: Session::open_library_in(LibraryStores) opens a library from any Store (presets, view
and prefs go through it too); Session::save_view; Copy imports into a non-disk library add.
JS automation API: lightcraft.command(id, paramsJson) (+ web.stats).

New L3 crate `lightcraft-gpu`: a wgpu device (Metal/Vulkan/DX12; none on wasm32),
WGSL kernels compiled once, buffer/dispatch/readback helpers, and a renderer that
runs the per-pixel stage (tone map, highlights/shadows, clarity/texture/sharpen,
dehaze, local mask terms, OkLCh colour ops, grading, vignette, gamut map, sRGB
encode, curves, grain) on the device. Earlier stages still run on the CPU and are
uploaded (per-stage hybrid). Stage results are cached per view next to the CPU
StageCache (new `StageCache::extension`).
The CPU pipeline stays the oracle and shares its resolved parameters with the
kernels: `finish::FinishParams` / `mask_terms`, `pipeline::plan` (stage-cache keys),
`local::plane_sigmas` / `nr_params` / `wb_matrix_for`, exact LUTs and OkLab
matrices exported for the shader prelude. Equivalence tests (skip without an
adapter): mean |d| < 0.5 LSB, max <= 3 LSB; measured max 1 LSB on Apple M4 Pro.

Integrated with M4 optics/Upright: render_impl resolves Upright and uses frame_for (lens + auto CA)
on the cached source; defringe runs in the cached linear stage and optics settings are part of its key.
Stage-cache equivalence test extended with optics/geometry steps.

- ui-egui/softpaint: pure-Rust rasterizer for tessellated egui output (gamma-space premultiplied
blending like egui-wgpu, bilinear texel-centre sampling, scissor clips, tie-break rule so shared
edges blend once, parallel row bands, deterministic) + CPU texture mirror from TexturesDelta.
- ui-egui/headless: HeadlessView (offscreen context with our fonts/theme) and Headless (windowless
app session: logic+ui per frame, answers viewport Screenshot/InnerSize/Close, settle loop,
control requests through the shared handler).
- ui.screenshot {headless: true} in the running app renders from the logic tick (works while the
window is occluded / display asleep); windowed captures fall back to headless after 2 s.
Screenshots now wait for in-flight renders, not just queued ones.
- lightcraft-cli snapshot [--demo|--library DIR] [--script f.jsonl] -o out.png --size WxH --scale S.
- Fixes found with it: dialog backdrop was painted over the dialog itself (now an area below the
window); dialog content padding; crop overlay options use our buttons (registered widget ids).
- Docs: control-protocol.md (headless section), AGENTS.md (prefer headless when unattended).

- finish: sRGB encode through an interpolated 4096-entry table (< 2e-5 from the exact curve,
tested), exp2 instead of powf(2, x).
- guided / guided_fast: coefficient and output passes run row-parallel (were serial loops);
Image::zip_map.
- blur_bench reports process CPU time next to wall-clock (meaningful on a loaded machine).
- RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 3 (exposure-after-filters and the table change pixels by <= 2 LSB).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- pipeline: StageCache + render_cached: resampled source, white-balanced/retouched/denoised image
and each spatial plane (log L, guided base, clarity, texture, dark channel + airlight) are keyed
by exactly their inputs; keeps a draft-size and a full-size entry warm.
- Exposure moved after the spatial filters (applied per pixel; planes shifted by EV): identical up
to rounding (test: <= 2 LSB vs. exposing the source), so exposure drags hit the cache too.
- engine: RenderJob::draft / with_stages; ui: loupe and before views own a StageCache, loupe
renders at Draft quality while interacting.
- engine example render_bench (min-of-N wall + process CPU time).

apps/lightcraft-web runs the egui UI in the browser (eframe web, glow/WebGL2):
procedural demo library on load; in-memory imports via file picker
(Cmd+Shift+I) and drag-and-drop (MemStore + bytes-based engine hooks);
export goes through app.export and downloads in the browser; `?bench` logs
first-frame and slider latency. `cargo xtask web [--serve [port]] [--dev]`
builds with the matching wasm-bindgen CLI into <target>/web/; the web app is
part of the CI wasm check. Wasm fixes: lazy profiling Instant in pipeline,
web-time clocks in ui-egui (render timings were 0 on wasm). Docs: docs/web.md.
No persistence on web yet.

- new crate lightcraft-preview (L3): 128-bit content hashing (SipHash-1-3),
cost-bounded Lru, DiskCache (JPEG q90 files keyed by content hash +
settings hash + size + RENDER_CACHE_VERSION; temp+rename writes; LRU prune
by mtime to 80% of budget; corrupt files dropped), PreviewCache (memory
LRU over disk), JobPool (per-slot dedupe, priorities, reprioritize/drop,
inline mode for wasm).
- engine: Session::thumb_job buckets thumbnails to 128/256/384/512 and serves
them from the cache without decoding the source; decoded thumbnail
sources now in a 384 MB LRU (was unbounded); library attaches
<library>/thumbs; library.info cache stats; library.clearPreviews.
- ui-egui: Renderer runs on JobPool; thumbnails scrolled out of the
prefetch area are dropped from the queue; on-screen thumbnails get
re-prioritized; ui.inspect reports in-flight renders + thumb textures.
- Demo library (24 photos): grid fully drawn 4.4 s cold -> 0.21 s warm
(24/24 disk hits, no source decoded).

- 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.

crates/mcp (lightcraft-mcp, L5): hand-written MCP over stdio (JSON-RPC 2.0,
protocol 2025-06-18 with 2025-03-26/2024-11-05 negotiation): initialize,
ping, tools/list, tools/call, resources/list/read. Two backends behind one
trait: Headless (in-process engine Session; answers engine.execute,
engine.commands, ui.render, app.export) and Remote (the desktop app's
loopback JSON-lines control channel; lazy connect + reconnect).
Tools: helpers (list_commands, run_command, import, query_photos,
select_photos, list_controls, get/set_develop, apply_preset, crop,
render_photo -> image content, export), UI tools when connected
(screenshot -> image content, inspect_ui, set_ui, list_widgets, click,
press_key, type_text, pointer_gesture), plus one cmd_<id> tool generated
per command in the registry (--compact omits them).
apps/lightcraft-cli: `mcp [--connect [ADDR]] [--demo] [--compact] [FILES]`,
`render <in> -o <out> [--set control=value]... [--settings] [--preset]
[--size] [--quality]`, `commands`, `controls`.
Acceptance e2e: crates/mcp/tests/e2e.rs sets exposure over MCP and renders
(headless and through the TCP transport); apps/lightcraft-cli/tests/cli.rs
does the same through the real binary's stdio. Docs: docs/mcp.md,
docs/control-protocol.md. Also rustfmt of one line in pipeline/finish.rs
(main was not fmt-clean).
