* Disk cache: record the source files each frame reads
Part of #3184 (step 1): renders now report which footage files they read,
each with its identity (size and modification time) as read. Nothing uses
the list yet: images, cache keys and cache behaviour are unchanged.
- render: `reads` module with `FileStamp`, `ReadFile`, `ReadFiles` (sorted,
deduplicated, bounded; marked incomplete when it can't vouch for every
file) and the thread-safe `ReadLog`. `Renderer::reads` collects a frame's
files; `FootageSource::recording` lets a source note what it reads.
`file_stamp` uses the same identity.
- Layer cache entries keep the files their buffer was made of and report
them on every hit; derived entries (styles, blend space, flattened) keep
their base's. Buffers from the disk cache or the browser store don't know
their files yet and mark the list incomplete.
- Media pool: every file read notes its identity, taken from the file it
opens. Decoded frames, opened movies, GIFs, models and EXR channels keep
it with the cache entry, so a frame served from memory reports its file
without touching the disk.
- Viewer frame worker collects each frame's list and carries it to where
the disk entry is written (step 2 stores it).

* Automation: confined footage passes on the files it reads
Part of #3184: ConfinedFootage forwards FootageSource::recording to the
source it wraps, so renders of an automation session list their files
instead of coming back incomplete. The read tests also render through the
viewer's CancellableFootage wrapper.

* Disk cache: frame entries keep their source files, comp key from memory
Part of #3184 (step 2). Fixes#3175: opening a comp no longer stamps every
footage file of the project before its first frame can show.
- The comp's content key (`disk_cache::comp_content_key`) is taken from the
project in memory alone: no footage or proxy file is stamped, no
`VirtualFileId` is asked. `comp_content_key_with` is gone; `frame_key`
hashes a new entry version, so entries of the earlier format are never
looked up again (LRU evicts them).
- Frame entries (formats 2 and 3) store the files the frame read
(`EntryFiles`: size and modification time as read; size and content hash
through `VirtualFileId` for files from memory; missing files), then the
pixels. Formats 0 and 1 read as misses and are deleted.
- Check on hit: `get_frame`/`get_frame_f16` look only at the listed files
(one metadata call each) on the frame worker. A changed, back or unreadable
file, or a damaged entry, is a miss: the entry is deleted and the frame
rendered and stored again.
- A frame whose file list is incomplete is shown but not stored. The RAM
preview keeps each frame's files, so `persist_missing` writes only frames
with a complete list.
- Remote frame worker: `FrameServer` records each frame's reads
(`take_files`); the web worker stores them with the entry and the page
checks them through the file table before using it. The browser's media
epoch existed only for the old key and is removed. Export does not use
frame entries.
- The cache indicator still only asks whether an entry exists.
Tests: entry format round trip and damage, the check per file, and in the
viewer: a changed file re-renders exactly its frames (and a reopen reads the
rest from disk); a frame checks only its own files in a project with a large
unused sequence and the key looks at no file; missing, unreadable files and
damaged entries never serve a stale frame.

* Disk cache: layer entries keep their source files, no footage salt
Part of #3184 (step 3 of 4).
Layer buffers on disk (and in the browser's layer store) now carry the
files they were made of, like frame entries since step 2, and are checked
against exactly those files when used. The project-wide footage salt is
gone: nothing stamps every footage file any more.
- Layer entry format 4: the buffer's EntryFiles, then the pixels. A hit
checks only the listed files (metadata, or the VirtualFileId hook for
files from memory; Missing must still be missing); a change, a damaged
entry or the old format 0 is a miss and the entry is deleted, so the
re-rendered buffer replaces it. A hit reports its file list, so frames
made of buffers from disk are complete and get stored again.
- Buffers whose files can't all be named are not written.
- Layer disk keys: layer_disk_key = hash of the layer entry version, the
renderer version and the layer cache key (which names the footage items
with their paths and settings, from memory).
- PrefetchStore checks on use; an entry made of changed files is dropped
and forgotten, so the new buffer is queued over it. FrameServer passes
its virtual-file hook to its layer cache.
- Removed: footage_salt(_with), file_stamp, footage_stamp,
set_disk_salt, set_store_salt, Session::refresh_disk_salt,
poll_disk_salt, footage_fingerprint, disk_salt, disk_salt_background,
disk_salt_job, DiskSaltJob, the UI's per-frame poll, the salt in
FrameServer and in the availability worker (with its cache_enabled
plumbing). The disk cache is attached as soon as it is configured.
- Docs: architecture.md, web.md.
Tests: layer entries check their files (size, time, missing/back,
folder, damaged, old format, incomplete); virtual files; prefetch store;
media tests with a real pool across restarts (only the changed file is
read, projects with the same item ids never share an entry, missing,
unreadable and damaged never serve stale buffers); engine tests that the
cache is attached at once and edits do no file work (#1926, #3106).

* Disk cache: no-salt worker test, sequence paths in the frame-blend key
Part of #3184 (step 3 of 4).
- A frame-blended footage frame's layer-cache key now hashes the
sequence's file list: with no project-wide salt, two projects whose
items share an id and a first frame must not share its disk entry.
- Test: a frame worker syncing, patching and rendering a project with an
unused 5000-frame sequence asks its file hook only about the file its
buffer reads (the salt asked about every file at every sync).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Disk cache: the comp key covers what its expressions can read
With an expression anywhere in the project, every comp's disk key hashed
every item of the project, so any edit (another comp, an unused footage
item) threw away every comp's frames on disk. The key now covers what the
comp can draw plus what the expressions among it can reach
(Project::pixel_reach):
- without expressions: the items the comp draws, without silent layers,
plus the footage its precomp layers swap in (Media Replacement);
- with expressions: every layer of the comps they reach, their markers,
the comps and footage they name with string literals (comp("Name"),
footage("Name")) together with which items have those names now, and
the footage named like a reached source (its data is read by name);
- the whole project when an expression computes a name, uses the object
model's constructors or internals, dynamic code, computed keys or
writes, or text the scanner can't read for sure (regex literals,
template strings, escapes): expression_reach errs towards reaching more.
Markers count only where an expression can read them (#1083). Memory
only, no file is looked at.
Tests: scanner and reach unit tests in the project crate; engine tests
for the key (own-comp expressions keep the key through edits elsewhere,
comp("Other") follows Other and not a third comp, a second comp taking
the name counts, a computed name counts every item, markers read from
another comp); a ui-egui test that the disk frames outside an expression
layer are carried when the comp it names changes.
Part of #3184. Part of #1492.

* Disk cache: Reload Footage drops the entries of its files, docs
File > Reload Footage now deletes the frame and layer entries whose file
lists name the reloaded item's files (DiskCache::drop_files), so a file
replaced by one with the same size and modification time, which the
check on hit can't tell apart, is read again. The index knows keys, not
files: the writer thread reads the files section at the start of each
frame and layer entry (not the pixels) after the writes queued before
it, and deletes the entries that list one of the files. Until it is
done, an entry made of one of them is a miss and frames aren't linked to
new keys. The entries are gone for good, so they don't come back after a
restart. Automatic reloads don't drop anything: they follow a changed
stamp, which the check on hit catches. The browser needs nothing (its
file identities are content hashes).
Removed: disk_cache::seal, which steps 2 and 3 left without callers (the
tests use seal_format). Updated the module, seal_format and forget_media
docs, and docs/architecture.md / docs/web.md describe the final design:
what is cached, keys from memory, file lists checked on hit, nothing
scans the project, incomplete lists stay in memory, Reload Footage drops
entries, edits keep the frames they can't change.
Tests: render unit tests (same size and time passes the check but not
the drop; other files' entries stay; an entry queued before the drop is
dropped; a layer entry too; written again afterwards it is used; the
drop survives a restart; a pending drop is a miss), and an engine test
through file.reloadFootage.
Closes#3184. Part of #1492.

* Disk cache: file stamps keep the whole modification time
A file's modification time was nanoseconds since 1970 as u64: a time before 1970
read as "no time" (two such files of one size looked alike) and times after 2554
were truncated. It is now i128 nanoseconds, negative before the epoch; None only
means the file system has no time. The content-key hash writes a presence tag and
the full value.

* Automation: a refused footage read leaves the render's file list incomplete
Footage outside the read roots shows nothing and was noted as no file at all, so a
picture made without it had a complete, empty list and could be kept on disk for
a later session with other roots. A refused read during `recording` now marks the
list incomplete.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Render: a buffer kept by another worker comes with its own files
LayerCache::insert returns the files of the buffer it keeps, and Renderer::keep
notes them in the render's log and returns them, so a render that uses another
worker's buffer lists that buffer's files (a file changed between the two reads
then has two identities and the list is incomplete).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Render: sampleImage and text fonts note the files they read
EvalCtx carries the render's read log. A sampleImage render records its footage
reads, keeps them with its per-thread cached buffer and notes them in the
evaluating render's log on every use. Text notes the font files it is drawn with,
with the identity their bytes were read with; a family that isn't installed, a
fallback or missing glyph, or a font from memory leaves the list incomplete.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Disk cache: frame entries store the whole modification time
A frame entry's file list stores a file's modification time as i128 nanoseconds
since 1970 (negative before), as the file stamps now keep it; the frame entry
format version goes to frame-entry-files-2 so entries in the old layout are not
read.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Disk cache: layer entries store the whole modification time
Layer entries share the frame entries' file list layout, which now stores the
full i128 modification time: the layer entry format version goes to
layer-entry-files-2. The module doc names the font files text is drawn with
among an entry's source files, and what keeps a list incomplete.

* Layer cache: buffers that read other layers are keyed by the switches passed down
A layer whose effect reads another layer (Gradient Wipe, Set Matte, Blend…) gets
that layer drawn by its own renderer. Through a precomp layer, Switches Affect
Nested Comps, the switches inherited from the precomp layers above and motion
blur on change those pixels, but the key held only the layers' own switches: a
buffer made with the setting on was reused (from memory or the disk cache) with
it off. Such layers now derive their key with what the renderer passes down.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Layer cache: masked buffers are keyed by the mask motion blur gate
A mask with Mask Motion Blur On blurs even when the layer's own switch is off,
as long as the render's gate is open (Render Settings motion blur, and with
Switches Affect Nested Comps the precomp layers above). The key held the
layer's own motion blur state only, so a buffer blurred with the gate open was
reused with it closed (and the other way round), also from the disk cache.
Masked layer, input and footprint keys now tell a closed gate apart.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Render: cached buffers list what their expressions and substituted characters read
- Buffers made under `Renderer::recorded` (layer content, a Time effect's input, an adjustment
layer's footprint) evaluate their masks, shapes and effects with the context that notes into
the buffer's own read log, so a file an expression reads (`sampleImage`, also at shutter times
mask motion blur adds and the cache key doesn't see) is in the buffer's files.
- A styled layer served from the cache lists the files of the cached body and passes too, so
the buffers made of it (flattened, blending space) don't get a complete list when one of them
came with an incomplete one.
- A character put in by Character Offset or Character Value without a relayout notes the font
it is drawn with; a fallback face (or none) leaves the list incomplete.

* Render: text lists the font file of a run that draws no glyph; tests clean their temp dirs
An empty first paragraph draws no glyph, but in a box its face sets the
first baseline that places every later line. The read list took faces only
from glyphs, so it could be complete without that file. Note each style
run's resolved face as well.
The font-reads and confine tests use tempfile::tempdir(): a fresh
directory per run, removed on panic too.

* Disk cache: Reload Footage closes the gaps around its drop (#3184)
- A reload while the disk cache is off is kept on the session
(pending_disk_drops) and applied when the cache is switched on, before
anything is read from it.
- Each render takes the cache's drop generation before it reads (frame
worker; layer cache at the miss). An entry listing a file dropped after
that is refused under the queue's lock, so a render that was under way
during the reload can't store pixels from before it. Such a frame is
shown with an incomplete file list, so persist_missing skips it too.
The per-file record is bounded (past it, everything older is refused).
- An entry read while its drop was pending is a miss even when the
writer ends the sweep between the read and the check (a stale hit
found under load): the pending drops and the generation are taken
before the entry is read.
- Test: a reopened project serves its frame from disk with no source file
opened or decoded.

* Disk cache: RAM frames keep the drop generation their render started at
Reload Footage empties the RAM preview, but an idle pass of
persist_missing may already hold a frame from before the reload. It
took the cache's drop generation when it ran, after the drop, so the old
pixels could be written back and, with the file's size and time
unchanged, served again after a restart.
Each RAM frame now keeps the disk cache its render started with and
that cache's drop generation then. persist_missing writes a frame only
to that cache, with that generation, and skips it once one of its files
was dropped since; a frame rendered without that cache is not written
from there.
Tests use tempfile directories (the layer drop test, the frame_files
folders under target/).

* Doc comments for the functions this PR touches
* Disk cache: cap the free-space reserve at 10 GB, skip encodes the limit refuses
The reserve the cache leaves free on its disk was max(2 GB, 5% of the
disk) (#2551). On a 4 TB disk with 190 GB free that is 200 GB, so a
cache set to 20 GB had a limit of 0: every write was refused, the cache
never held anything, and only a log warning said so.
The reserve is now clamp(5% of the disk, 2 GB, 10 GB). It is there to
keep the cache from filling the disk, not to keep a share of a large
disk free: 10 GB leaves the system room to work on any disk, a small
disk still keeps 2 GB, and a 100 GB disk keeps 5 GB as before. After
Effects has only a maximum cache size and no reserve; a clamp keeps
the floor for small disks, where a fixed 10 GB would take most of the
space.
Writes the limit refuses cost no work: DiskCache::accepts_writes (one
atomic read) is checked before a frame is converted (put_disk_frame)
and before frames and layers are compressed (put_frame, put_frame_f16,
put_layer). The frame workers spent about 8 ms per frame and 14 ms per
layer on encodes that were then refused. persist_missing returns at
once at limit 0 instead of converting the RAM frames on every idle pass.
Settings > Disk shows the limit in effect in MB under Maximum Disk
Cache Size, with a note when free disk space lowers it
(settings.disk.cacheLimit).
* Disk cache: refuse writes below 64 MB of room, show this disk's reserve
Review follow-ups to the reserve fix:
- accepts_writes also refuses while free disk space leaves less than
64 MB of room (a limit the setting asks for is always used): a few
frames would fill it, and the rest would be compressed only to be
refused.
- While writes are refused the idle passes ask for no repaint, so the
UI keeps a frame coming every 5 s: the free space is read again and
the RAM frames are written once there is room.
- Settings > Disk names the space kept free on this disk (the reserve
the last reading applied; the rule from MIN/MAX_DISK_RESERVE when it
is unknown), and the "no room" note follows accepts_writes.
- The settings.disk.cacheLimit automation label is machine-readable
and the same in every language: limitMb, maxMb, reserveMb,
spaceLimited, writes.
- cargo fmt.
* Disk cache: follow 3D model sources in the comp's reach
The reach walk followed comp, footage and solid sources but not
LayerSource::Model. An expression reading a model layer's source
(thisComp.layer("Model").source.name) left the model item out of the
comp's content key, so renaming the model kept the key and the old
frames on disk were served. Every source item is followed now
(LayerSource::item), which also counts the model when no expression
reads it (Advanced 3D draws it).
The same omission is fixed in the RAM preview's content walk
(frames.rs) and in the layer key's walk of referenced layers
(cache/dependencies.rs).
* Disk cache: a render's drop generation travels with its reads; no disk entries for Expression Selectors
Drop generation per render: the layer cache recovered a buffer's drop
generation from the latest miss of its key, so a second render of the
key that started after File > Reload Footage lent its generation to a
render still running from before, and that render's buffer (the file as
it was) was written after the sweep. Now Renderer::recorded starts each
buffer's read log at the store's drop generation before anything is
read (ReadLog::starting_at); ReadFiles carries the earliest generation
through merges, so derived buffers (styles, the blend-space copy, the
flattened layer) and frames that use a buffer from memory carry it too.
LayerCache::insert keeps a buffer made of a file dropped since its
reads began neither on disk nor in memory; a list that doesn't say
counts as made before every drop. DiskCache::dropped_since takes the
list's own generation too. missed_at keeps only the miss time.
Expression Selectors: the layer key evaluates a text Expression
Selector's amount for the first character only, so a per-character
dependency such as textIndex == 1 ? 0 : footage("ref.png").width was
not in the key, and after the footage item's width changed a reopened
session reused the old layer entry. A text layer with an Expression
Selector now marks its reads unkeyed (ReadFiles::is_unkeyed), which
merges like the generation; such buffers stay in memory and are never
written to disk. Frame entries are unaffected: the comp's frame key
hashes what the expressions name. The equality and hash of ReadFiles
ignore both new fields.
* Disk cache: never serve a RAM layer buffer made before a drop of its files
A render that passed the drop check could sit in put_layer's encode
while Reload Footage cleared the layer cache and dropped the file, then
publish its old pixels to memory after the purge; get, and a fresh
render's insert, then served them. The disk-hit promotion went through
the same insert_mem.
Every way the cache hands out a RAM buffer (get, the kept-first path of
insert, an existing entry in insert_mem) now checks the entry's files
against the store's drops from their own generation (ReadFiles::since):
an entry made before a drop of one of its files is forgotten and the
lookup misses, so a fresh render's buffer replaces it. insert_mem also
re-checks a buffer just before publishing it.

* Disk cache: stamp footage files for the salt off the UI thread
Importing an After Effects project whose footage includes long image
sequences on a network share froze the desktop app for 15-27 s. The
import itself takes about 0.25 s; the time went into the edit's bump(),
where refresh_disk_salt() stats every footage file (13,466 sequence
frames in the measured project, ~15 s) on the UI thread whenever a disk
cache is attached. File > Open and footage reload hit the same path.
With Session::disk_salt_background (set by the desktop app) the salt is
taken on a worker thread and picked up by poll_disk_salt() from the UI
tick. Until it lands the layer cache runs memory-only, so keys under the
old salt (other files, or another project's items) are never read. A
newer footage change supersedes a salt still being taken. Headless
sessions keep taking it synchronously.
A settings change that keeps the disk cache folder no longer re-stamps
every footage file either.

* Disk cache: opening a project drops the footage salt being taken
A salt job still running for the old project was kept when the new project named the

* Plug-ins: API 2 (PluginHost, padding, layer_span)
Split out of the OpenFX work so it can be reviewed on its own. Additive; the WebAssembly ABI

- point3 / layer / text / hidden parameters, integer sliders, parameter groups.
- EffectPlugin::padding (transparent pixels around the buffer, at most 4096 per side).
- EffectPlugin::render_v2 with a PluginHost: the input at other times, other layers, parameters
at other times, frame rate, per-instance key, the layer's source range.

* Plug-ins: external effect helpers (crates/helper-host)
Native plug-in formats run in separate helper programs, never in EffectCraft's process
(docs/adr/0001-external-effect-helpers.md). New safe-Rust crate effectcraft-helper-host (L3,
native only, unsafe forbidden): it finds helper programs, starts each as a child process and
registers its effects through plug-in API 2, so the UI and command surface need nothing new.
- Protocol v1 (docs/external-helpers.md): JSON lines over stdin / stdout (helper replies are
prefixed so plug-in chatter is ignored); pixels go through a frame exchange file (/dev/shm on
Linux), never through the pipe. Render-time callbacks for the input at other times, other layers
and parameters at other times, with nested renders through the same helper.
- A helper that exits, hangs past its timeout or breaks the protocol is stopped. The render fails
with a message, the frame is left as it was, and the helper restarts for the next render. An
effect that stops its helper 3 times is turned off (helper_blocklist.txt).
- Opt-in: nothing starts helpers unless the user asks (Effect > Scan for Effect Helpers), or opts
in to starting them at launch with EFFECTCRAFT_HELPERS=1, an environment variable, so writing
to the settings folder alone can't run code. effect.helpers.scan / load are refused for
confined agent sessions (confine.rs), like file.executeFile.
- Discovery: helpers/ next to the app (Contents/Helpers on macOS), helpers/ in the settings
folder, EFFECTCRAFT_HELPER_PATH.
- Commands effect.helpers.list / scan / load; Effect menu entries (translated); the last render
error of an effect shows as a warning sign after its name in Effect Controls.
- serve(): the helper side for Rust helpers. tests/it/main.rs runs the whole protocol (render,
padding, callbacks, nesting, threads, crash, restart, block list, hang) against a fake helper,
with nothing to install.

* Effect helpers: address review (start failures, frame file mode, nextest listing)
- A helper that can't start (not installed any more, restarting too often, no frame exchange
file) is reported but no longer charged to the effect being rendered: it is Failure::Refused,
not Failure::Broken, so it never counts toward turning that effect off. New check in
tests/it: once the helper is out of restarts, renders of an effect fail without blocking it
(fails without the fix: the effect was turned off after 3 such renders).
- The frame exchange file is created owner-only (0o600) on Unix: it holds the user's frames and
/dev/shm is shared. Asserted in the frames unit test.
- tests/it (harness = false) speaks the libtest listing protocol cargo-nextest uses:
`--list --format terse` prints `helper_protocol: test` (nothing with `--ignored`), and
`helper_protocol --exact` runs the checks.

* Effect helpers: bound writes to a helper, drain stderr, keep callbacks in step
- Writes to a helper go through a writer thread with the request timeout: a
helper that stops reading its stdin (hung with a large callback answer or
render request pending) no longer blocks the render thread forever while
holding the helper.
- stderr is drained as bytes (lossy, in 64 KiB pieces) to the end: output that
isn't UTF-8 stopped the reader, closing the pipe under the helper (EPIPE /
SIGPIPE on its next write); lines were unbounded.
- Callback images that can't be written are answered with `null` instead of
failing the render while the helper waits (which left the protocol out of
step); a frame that can't be written before the request is sent is not
charged to the effect.
- Mid-render calls use the render's own process: no respawn or heartbeat ping
while the helper is waiting for an answer.
- Waiting for a busy helper is bounded (load timeout) instead of forever;
status() no longer blocks on a running render.
- Reap the child when start-up fails after spawning; cap the block list read.
- Scripts start helpers only with Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access
Network on (they run native code), as for File.execute().
- helper-host declares the workspace's no-panic crate lints; the desktop
main() keeps its doc comment.

* Plug-in Library: offer WebAssembly API 1 releases only; a helper already stopped mid-render isn't charged again
- WasmPlugin loads only modules at the WebAssembly ABI version, which stays 1 while
PLUGIN_API_VERSION is 2: share it as effects::plugin::WASM_API_VERSION and have the
library's compatibility check use it, so it never installs an API 2 release that

render, charged there), so this render fails without charging its own effect.

With main's narrowed frame invalidation (#2795), an edit inside a precomp under an

Plug-in API 2 gives every plug-in effect the input at other times, so any effect

start-up loading of installed packages with SHA-256 checks. Downloads go
through the system curl (https, GitHub hosts), as trained models do.
Preview before installing (library.preview): the release is downloaded,
checked like an install, and rendered in the sandbox on a built-in sample
frame at default settings (2 s at 12 fps) with a Before/After split, plus
the effect's parameters, "Open on GitHub" and an optional author video
link (catalog field preview.video). Authors need to do nothing for it.
Hardening: a module that fails to load leaves the installed copy alone,
Update All updates every package in one job, minApp also applies to an
explicit version, curl ignores ~/.curlrc and URL globbing, unique temp
files, percent-decoded file URLs. Plug-in effect slots grow from 64 to
256 with a clearer overflow error.
Docs: plugins.md "Plug-in Library", publishing-plugins.md (author guide
from zero to listed), gaps.md; examples/plugin-catalog is the starting
content of the catalog repository (schema, validation workflow).

* G8: plug-in library: one preview texture set; catalog schema requires effects
The preview kept a texture set per package version previewed (about
6 MB each) for the whole session; it now keeps one, replaced when
another package is previewed. Releases in the catalog schema must list
at least one effect id, as the author guide says.

* G8: plug-in catalog schema: effect ids follow the manifest's id rules
Letters, digits, '.', '_' and '-', and not the reserved 'ec.' prefix,
so library.missing can match them.

* G8: check an update before replacing a loaded package; Update All past failures
- An update to a package that is already loaded is now compiled and its manifest checked
(through the previewer, without registering it) before the new file is written and the old
version's folder deleted. Before, a release with the right SHA-256 that didn't load replaced
the working version and failed at the next start.
- Package ids that differ only in case, or end in a dot, would share one folder on Windows and
macOS: the catalog keeps the first of them, and ids can't end in a dot (schema too).
- Update All: a package that can't be picked or installed no longer stops the others; the
result names what was updated and what wasn't.
- Downloads: at most 5 redirects, and one that ends off GitHub's hosts is refused, as the module
docs say.
- A job that panics no longer leaves the library busy; poisoned status locks are used, not
dropped.

The pool learned that an effect reads a footage item's channels only at the
first aux() call, so the first frame was decoded twice (picture, then in
full), and the hint was never cleared after the effect was removed.
The session now gives the footage source the whole set of files read by
enabled 3D Channel effects (FootageSource::set_aux_footage) with every
project change (Session::bump: edits, undo, redo, history jumps, rollbacks,
project open), sending it only when it changed. The pool keeps that set and,
as a safety net, what aux() learns; a new set drops what was learned.

Settings ▸ Import ▸ Reload Footage Changed on Disk used to spawn a stat thread every two seconds
from the UI thread, request a repaint 100 ms later to collect it, and request another repaint every
2 s in between, for every project with items, focused or not: the whole interface redrew on a timer
for footage that hadn't changed.
`footage_reload::Watcher` is one long-lived worker: the interface tells it what to watch (recomputed
when the project revision or the preference changes) and whether the window is in front; it stamps
the files every 2 s while the window is in front, every 10 s while another app has the front, at once
on focus regain and on a new set, and hands the stamps over — calling `ctx.request_repaint()` — only
when one differs from its last look. Nothing watched means the thread sleeps. `apply_stamps` and the
reload semantics are unchanged; `start_scan`/`poll_scan`/`Session::footage_scan` are gone. No new
dependencies: the stat loop is also what footage on a network share relies on, where FSEvents would
not report another machine's writes.
Tests: the watcher wakes the interface for the first stamps and for each change and never for an
unchanged file; behind another app it rests until the window is back; nothing watched is nothing
stamped and a new set is reported whole (and dropping it ends the thread); the host test
`the_watcher_notices_a_footage_file_changed_on_disk` saves a PSD from "another app" and sees it
reloaded once.

- Default disk cache size 20 GB (was 100 GB); settings version 3 migrates the stored old
default and keeps a size the user chose.
- The cache keeps max(2 GB, 5% of the disk) free: sysinfo::disk_space (df -Pk / PowerShell
DriveInfo) is read in the background from memory_tick and caps the limit
(DiskCache::set_disk_space); cache.diskStats reports limitBytes.
- Eviction goes down to 90% of the limit, so the LRU sort runs once per tenth of the limit
written instead of on every write at the limit.
- Failed writes are counted (cache.diskStats failed) and the first is logged.
Also fixes#2063.

effect.cryptomatteAt rendered the effect's input on every call to learn its pixel grid (up
to ~1 s per hover on a 3D precomp). The aux channels and that grid are now kept in a
CryptoProbe on the Session, keyed by the project revision, layer, effect, frame, scale and
render prefs (nested switches, draft shadows). On footage with nothing animated before the
Cryptomatte effect the frame is the source frame, so a still or a held frame keeps one
probe for every comp time. The effect's own Selection doesn't count: the probe never reads
it, so an animated Selection keeps the probe too.
Session::crypto_probe_ready says whether a query answers from the kept probe and changes
nothing. Session::crypto_probe_job builds it on another thread for the viewer; asking for a
job is starting it. Each started job has a generation: it stores its result only while it
is the newest, a newer job or an edit cancels it, and a panic in the build becomes the
probe's error. A cancelled build checks its generation between its stages (reading the IDs,
rendering the effect's input), so it stops early and lets go of what it read. `probeOnly`
makes cryptomatteAt / pickCryptomatte answer {pending} instead of building on the caller.
A pick re-keys the probe (it only edits the Selection), and undo, redo and history jumps
over picks keep it too (each pick is labelled "Pick Cryptomatte"). Any other edit, footage
changes, Open / New and Session::drop_crypto_probe (the eyedropper disarmed) let it go. The
slot's type is crate-private (the Session field stays public, doc(hidden), so other crates
can still build a Session); crypto_probe_stats and crypto_probe_jobs (jobs run, cancelled
ones included) are doc(hidden), for tests.
Reconcile main 991904888a and preserve the reviewed lifecycle, IME, rendering and lockfile changes.
Formatting, strict lint, layers, assets and WASM passed. Full CI retained 3,961 passes, 14 baseline-matching GPU failures and 31 ignored executions. The local review commit has explicit approval to retain these documented failures; native/browser acceptance and paired app performance remain open.
A table of After Effects' index and unit for the effect parameters its keyframe text gives differently from EffectCraft's rules, read from After Effects 2019's text for 230 effects. All 1,530 parameters the two share now match; 949 did before.
Session::bump took the disk cache's footage salt at every edit, which reads the size and time of
every footage file, each frame of an image sequence included. With three 5000-frame sequences a
caret move or a typed character in a text field took ~0.6 s on the UI thread (9 ms with the disk
cache off). The salt is now taken again only when the footage items changed, or when a project
is opened, footage is reloaded or the disk cache attached.

Alt/Option-drag a Project item onto a Timeline layer, or press Ctrl+Alt+/ (Cmd+Opt+/) with layers and an item selected, to swap the layer's source. The layer keeps its name, timing, transforms, keyframes, expressions, effects, masks, switches, parenting and track matte; a source with audio adds Audio properties when missing. Precompositions can't be nested inside themselves.
AVLayer.replaceSource now runs the same engine command and closes the replaceSource part of #813.
Copying keys or unanimated properties of one layer records them as After Effects keyframe text: its Transform properties, one row per key with the frame in comp time (start offset and stretch applied) or a frameless row for a static value. EffectCraft's own keyframe clipboard is unchanged.
Engine part of viewer picking: replace / add / remove the top-coverage ID at a
layer-space point in one undo step, at the time the Selection was read. The
aux channels come from the render's own path (Renderer::layer_aux, shared with
the effect host; footage at its source time, 3D precomps) through a renderer
set up like Session::render (expressions, render prefs, layer cache). An
optional scale snaps the point to the pixel a preview at that resolution
samples. New effects::crypto_select quotes names and falls back to <hex> for
unnamed, wildcard-looking or ambiguous names. effect.cryptomatteAt is the
read-only hover query.
Layer times were already saved and read back as exact ticks; the values in
the issue are 34f, 315f and 3033f at 59.94 fps. The viewer was black because
the playhead wasn't saved: a reopened comp started at 0, before its layers.
The project file's view (`activeComp`, `openComps`) now also records each
comp's current time (`compTimes`), restored on open within the comp's frames.

Footage paths stored in a project are resolved through craft-docpath against
the project file when it is opened or imported: relative paths are taken from
the project's folder, and an item whose path is on another computer, names a
device or is a non-file URL is marked missing without being looked at. The
footage check, the changed-on-disk scan, Reload Footage, Relink, Edit Original
and Reveal in Finder resolve the path again before touching the file, and the
Project panel, Metadata panel and waveforms read no file details of missing
footage.
Lottie image assets are resolved against the Lottie file; one on another
computer is skipped with a warning. Files a 3D model names are read only when
local or on the model's own share.
Reveal in Finder refuses a folder that would open as an app or other bundle.
Files imported or relinked in this session are opened as given.
keys.delete returned the number of selected keys even when some of them
no longer existed, so a delete that removed nothing still reported success.
It now returns the number of keys actually removed, and a key that is gone
or listed twice is not counted.

Merge each offloaded property-group result against the snapshot the job started from. Preserve disjoint live edits, group identity and child changes; refuse conflicting results without changing the document or undo/redo history.
Record an apply rejection on its originating job so completion logs and waiting control commands report failure. Keep concurrent jobs' outcomes separate and retain the correct completion position when the bounded log rolls over.
Add actual-worker regressions for conflicts, disjoint edits, concurrent analyses and undo/redo, plus control completion/error regressions.
Fixes#1249
