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.

gpu (its render already runs under catch_unwind and falls back to the CPU):
- a failed readback (device lost, out of memory) logs, marks the GPU
broken and returns zeros, so crate::render discards the result and
renders on the CPU, instead of panicking;
- an unknown kernel name does the same instead of panic!;
- finish-parameter fields are looked up as Option (debug_assert on an
unknown name) instead of panic!;
- the warp sampler matches (mode, warp) like the CPU pipeline;
- Buf::raw keeps one documented expect (Some from construction to Drop).
merge:
- pyramid building (push_pull, Blender::finish), camera graph growth,
bundle adjustment, focal median and alignment use let-else / filter_map
instead of expect;
- synth::bracket_dngs / pano_views return Result (a missing demo scene
or a DNG write error is an error); lightcraft-cli synth-merge and the
engine merge tests handle it.
lightcraft-gpu, lightcraft-merge and lightcraft-cli now #![deny]

- import / merge polling: let-else on the task instead of expect("task").
- the merge worker catches a panic and reports "the merge failed

Session::execute (the entry point of the UI, CLI, control channel and
MCP) runs each command through lightcraft_engine:💂:catch: a panic
that escapes a command becomes that command's error (EngineError::Other,
shown like any failed command) and the session, catalog and undo history
stay usable. The desktop app installs guard::install_hook, which keeps
the default stderr report and appends the panic location and message to
<temp>/lightcraft-panics.log.
The desktop app crate (already clean) now #![deny]s unwrap/expect/panic/
unimplemented/todo/unreachable; clippy.toml as in the steering PR.

A Point Curve dropdown under the curve graph shows the preset the photo's
point curves match (or Custom) and lists our own built-ins (Linear, Medium
Contrast, Strong Contrast: symmetric S-curves, values chosen here) and the
user's presets; Save Point Curve... names and stores the current four
channels, right-click deletes, Import/Export Presets... read and write
.lccurve JSON files. Presets set only the point curves (parametric curve and
Refine Saturation stay) and are saved with the library preferences.
Engine commands: curve.presets, curve.applyPreset, curve.savePreset,
curve.deletePreset, curve.importPresets, curve.exportPresets; UI commands
file.importCurvePresets / file.exportCurvePresets (file dialogs on desktop).

An .lmp look is an XML property list of adjustment layers with named
sliders (newer looks: a Name.lmp/Contents/preset.lmp bundle); an
.mplumpack is a zip of looks plus PresetsInfo.plist (GroupName).
preset.import, the file dialog and drag & drop now accept both. Sliders
with a clear counterpart (exposure, contrast, highlights/shadows,
whites/blacks, WB shift, saturation/vibrance, clarity/structure,
dehaze, HSL, point curves, vignette, grain) map onto develop settings;
the rest is reported in `unmapped`. Looks are named after the look and
grouped by the pack. Tests use synthetic looks and packs only.

Release builds of lightcraft.exe are GUI-subsystem programs
(windows_subsystem = "windows"), so launching the app no longer opens
a terminal. Debug builds keep the console; lightcraft-cli.exe stays a
console program for terminal use (--help / --version / scripting).
Checked with cargo check --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.

lightcraft-pipeline gains lut.rs: a .cube parser (LUT_3D_SIZE, DOMAIN_MIN/MAX, TITLE), a
trilinear lookup and an in-process registry; the finishing stage applies a `lut:` profile to
the display-encoded colour, blended by the profile amount (0–200 %); LUT profiles render on the
CPU. profile.import {paths} reads files, folders and zips, copies each LUT into the library's
Profiles/ folder, lists them in prefs and registers them when the library opens; the profile
browser shows them under their folder / zip name; profile.deleteImported. File ▸ Import
Profiles & Presets…, the file picker and drag & drop take .cube files.

- Smart previews (smart.rs): a ~1 MB proxy per photo in the library's "Smart Previews" folder
(the decoded preview-size source, scaled, sRGB-encoded JPEG behind a one-line header). When
a photo's original is missing (an unplugged drive), its source loads from the proxy: the
photo renders, edits and exports at proxy size. library.smartPreviews {discard?},
photo.smartPreview status; File ▸ Previews ▸ Build / Discard Smart Previews; Info shows
"Original offline · editing the smart preview".
- Photo ▸ Duplicate (photo.duplicate): a real "-copy" file with the same settings, metadata,

photo.editExternal renders the active photo with its edits as a 16-bit TIFF "<name>-Edit.tif"
(Adobe RGB by default; ProPhoto / P3 / sRGB) next to the original, never overwriting, adds it
stacked on top of the original and selects it. Photo ▸ Edit in External Editor (⇧⌘E, as
observed; the export dialog stays on ⇧E) then opens it in the application set in Settings ▸
General ▸ External Editor, or the system default (desktop: open -a / start / xdg-open,
spawned, never waited for).

- 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).

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.

- develop.pastePrevious (⌥⌘V): the previously active photo's settings (copy groups) onto the
selection; the session tracks the previous active photo.
- photo.copyMetadata / photo.pasteMetadata {fields?}: title, caption, copyright, creator,
location, keywords.
- Photo Merge with last settings (⇧⌃H, ⇧⌃M, HDR panorama): no dialog, the options of the last
merge of that kind.
- Help → LightCraft Help (F1) opens the docs; F-keys map to native macOS accelerators.
- Parity: stale rows fixed (pet eye, merge submenu/keys, preset on import, profile favourites).

- Holding ⌥ while painting a brush mask flips Add/Erase for that stroke.
- Control channel: injected pointer/key events now announce their modifiers to egui

- Engine: export split into prepare_export (session thread, cheap) and PreparedExport::run
(Send: read/decode/render/encode); run_batch with per-photo progress, cancel and collected
errors; export_batch keeps the stop-at-first-error behaviour for scripted calls.
- Desktop: the Export dialog, Export with Preset (menu and context menu) and Export with
Previous run their batch on a worker thread (app.export {background: true}); a progress
panel shows count / file / Cancel; ui.inspect reports export {running, last}.
- Headless: settle waits for a running export; `lightcraft-cli snapshot` finishes it before
exiting. Web keeps foreground exports (downloads are main-thread).

- Resize modes: long edge, short edge, width, height, W x H (either orientation), megapixels,
percent; "don't enlarge" (default on); ppi written to JFIF density / PNG pHYs / TIFF tags.
- Full-size export of a cropped photo now renders the crop at native resolution (it was
upscaled to the uncropped long edge).
- Formats: Original (file copied byte for byte + XMP sidecar with the edits, named after the
output) and DNG (raw photos re-encoded losslessly, edits in the embedded XMP).
- Export dialog: Resize-to dropdown, values, Don't enlarge, Resolution; DNG/Original hide
pixel options.
- lightcraft-cli render goes through the shared exporter (colour space, metadata, ppi) and
takes any app.export option via --opt KEY=VALUE; MCP export schema lists the new params.
- xtask resolves the workspace root at run time (a moved checkout broke ci).

RenderRequest gains a sample format (OutputDepth: U8 for previews, U16, F32Linear); deep renders
run the per-pixel stage with the exact sRGB curve and return Rendered::deep alongside the 8-bit
image (GPU stays 8-bit: deep exports render on the CPU). Export encodes deep renders: 16-bit PNG and
TIFF, 32-bit float linear TIFF with a linear ICC profile we generate, 10-bit AVIF (YCbCr planes into
ravif). Output sharpening and watermarks work on deep images. ExportOptions.bitDepth with per-format
defaults (TIFF 16-bit, others 8-bit), export dialog bit depth choice (remembered with the last
export), MCP export schema. Tests: a smooth gradient has 1024 levels in a 16-bit TIFF vs 13 in
8-bit, float TIFF decodes to the same light as 16-bit, per-format depth rules, AVIF 10-bit.

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).

The selected mask's evaluated alpha is drawn by the renderer as Overlay::Mask (CPU and GPU share the
alpha the render used; hidden masks are evaluated on demand), kept out of the view-preview cache.
Pins for radial/linear/brush components select their mask on click and move the component on drag;
view.maskPins hides them. CPU/GPU equivalence and headless keyboard/pointer 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.

- memory::budget (default min(25% RAM, 1.5 GiB); LIGHTCRAFT_MEMORY_MB, app.memoryBudget):
half for engine caches (sources + rendered previews, LRU across them via a global
use tick; the photo on screen stays), a quarter for decodes in flight (WorkGate:
thumbnails, prefetch and import probes wait; loupe/export loads never wait), an
eighth for the GPU free pool.
- GPU: best-fit buffer reuse (<= 25% slack), buffers released outside a render are
pooled at once (no stranded retired lists), pool trimmed after 3 s idle.
- Decodes drop file bytes and raw samples early, colour/crop/orient in place.
- macOS: apps install malloc_zone_pressure_relief as the release hook (after each
decode, import and idle trim): freed large blocks no longer stay resident.

Decoders take a Mode: Header reads everything but the samples (DNG, CR2, ARW,
RAF, RW2; PEF when it has crop tags). NEF/ORF (and PEF without crop tags)
derive geometry/CFA from the samples and still unpack them. decode() stays
bit-exact (debug-hash of every corpus/raw decode identical before/after); the
corpus test asserts probe_info == decode().info() for all 37 files.
Import of 14 corpus raws: 3.4 s -> 1.4-2.0 s; peak RSS through import

ColorOps and its WGSL twin (equivalence case). Indexed control specs

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.

- engine: QuickJob — what to show the moment a photo opens: the loupe's last render for the
current settings (kept by Session::loupe_job under a size-independent "view" key in the
preview cache, memory + disk with a library; the disk JPEG is written off the render
thread via PreviewCache::put_deferred), else the embedded camera JPEG of a raw that still
has its import look (import::has_import_look), else a thumbnail-level render.
- Grid / filmstrip: an unedited raw without a thumbnail shows its cached thumbnail, else its
embedded preview (Slot::ThumbQuick) at once; the real rendered thumbnail follows at
background priority (same cache keys, so it still ends up matching the develop render;
edited photos render directly).
- Loupe (detail, compare, filmstrip selection): Slot::Preview holds the stand-in until
Slot::Main has the photo; the full render then replaces it in place (no blank frame).
- files::embedded_preview_srgb + PreviewLoader hook (desktop/CLI/MCP and web).
- ui.inspect → loupe {photo, source: render|cached|embedded|small|thumb|none, pending}.
Real app (24 MP raws, loaded machine): first image 15–90 ms (thumbnail, then embedded
preview), full render 0.2–0.5 s (was 1.0–2.4 s with nothing shown before it).
