- 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.

- 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).

- 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).
