OpenEXR renders (Render Queue sequences and Save Frame As ProEXR) received
the frame after Project Settings > HDR, so Compand and Tone Map (the default
of every OCIO project) compressed highlights and changed values below 1.0
before the writer decoded them, always with the sRGB curve.
- RenderOpts::scene_output: the top-level comp converts to the output space
without the HDR step (CPU and GPU walks, via Renderer::output_pipe).
- Pipe::output_linear: the writers decode with the output space's curve
(the Working Gamma's when unmanaged) instead of a fixed sRGB curve.
- Render Queue EXR jobs and ProEXR set the flag; PSD layers, 8-bit stills,
movies and the viewer keep the HDR step. The flag is part of the viewer
frame and disk cache keys (opts_hash).
Golden hashes, taken before the change, pin PNG/TIFF/Targa bytes for
8/16/32 bpc x Clip/Compand/ToneMap, Clip-mode EXR samples with an sRGB
output, and the layered PSD bytes.

Every MP4 export said BT.709 whatever the Output color space, in the
colr box and in the bitstream, so Rec. 2020, P3, PQ and HLG renders
were labelled as BT.709.
Move the ProRes colr mapping to output_codes and use it for every movie
path: the nclx colr box, FilmCraft's H.264 ColorConfig (VUI), and new
colour fields in effectcraft-hevcenc (VUI) and effectcraft-av1enc
(color_config), which wrote 1-1-1 as constants. The matrix stays BT.709,
the coefficients every path converts with. Default renders don't change.
ProRes renders had no colr atom, so the stream reported no primaries,
transfer or matrix. Write an nclc atom, as FilmCraft does for MOV, with
the codes of what the render path makes: the project's output space when
it has a working space, BT.709 otherwise.
sRGB output stays at transfer 1, which is still open on #340 and #464.
The frames don't change, so the pinned ProRes bytes move by exactly the
atom's 18 bytes.
Resolve the export tests' module list (banding and h264_gpu_yuv both stay). #1631's
yuv420_frame checked Render Settings Color Depth itself; that depth is now the project's
depth for the whole render, so the GPU YUV path is taken only for 8 bpc renders. Above
8 bpc frames take the RGBA path, which dithers, so H.264 exports don't band either.
Test: renders_above_8_bpc_skip_the_planes.
Accelerator::comp_frame_yuv420 (default None) renders a top-level comp frame and
converts it over the background to the H.264 export's 8-bit BT.709 limited-range
4:2:0, every byte within one level of the CPU conversion (the GPU kernel follows
it operation for operation, including NaN and half-away-from-zero ties, but a
driver may contract its arithmetic). A 4K frame then reads back 12 MB of planes
instead of 133 MB of RGBA f32.
The H.264 export asks the accelerator for planes when a frame needs nothing after
the render (progressive, project depth, no crop/resize, rendered at the output
size) and otherwise renders and converts on the CPU as before. Deferred
readbacks (a browser worker) keep the pass-based path. Sizes the kernel can't
take (width not a multiple of 8, odd height) are declined before any GPU work.
Like Cx::frames, h264_frames caps GPU frames in flight only while the
accelerator is up (map_frames_while with the same liveness check): once the GPU
stops for good, the remaining frames render on the CPU side by side instead of
one at a time.
rgba_to_yuv420 moves to effectcraft_raster::yuv so the export and the GPU tests
share one reference. The GPU tests skip without an adapter (tests::gpu()), as
the crate's others do.
Exports converted the float frame to 8 bits by plain rounding, so a smooth
gradient rendered at 16 or 32 bpc came out as flat bands, the same as at
8 bpc: raising the depth changed nothing visible. After Effects dithers
colours converted to 8 bpc for render and export; do the same.
- raster: dither_u8 and Image::to_rgba8_dithered / to_rgba8_over_dithered
round each channel up or down against a hash of the pixel position with
a fixed seed (deterministic, no clock or global RNG). A value already on
an 8-bit code, as everything rendered at 8 bpc is, is unchanged.
- export: Cx::pixels dithers the colour for every 8-bit output (stills,
H.264, ProRes, HEVC, AV1, VP9); GIF keeps plain rounding (palette).
- export: the Render Settings' Color Depth now overrides the project's
depth for the whole render instead of only quantising the finished
frame, so a 16 bpc render of an 8 bpc project keeps its precision.
Tests: crates/export/tests/it/banding.rs (ramp export at 8/16 bpc and with
Color Depth overrides), raster unit tests for dither_u8.

H.264 and ProRes exports of a 60-frame comp (several render batches, a
rotating stroked ring, a fading solid at a fractional position, a
Screen-mode shape, 8 bpc) must keep the exact bytes main wrote before the
two previous commits.

After Effects lists Targa among its still-image output formats; EffectCraft
imported Targa (#745) but could not render to it.
- OutputFormat::TargaSequence ("Targa Sequence", `.tga`, numbered like the
other sequences; `tga` / `targa` as a format name or output extension).
- Written by the `image` crate's Targa encoder (its `tga` feature, already
enabled in effectcraft-media; no new crates, Cargo.lock unchanged), with
run-length compression off: an 18-byte header, top-left origin, 24-bit BGR
for RGB, 32-bit BGRA with 8 alpha bits in the image descriptor for
RGB + Alpha (straight or premultiplied), 8-bit grey for Alpha.
- The render queue's size estimate counts the uncompressed bytes.
- CLI usage, the renderQueue command specs, README, architecture.md and
file-format-parity.md name the new format.
Tests: each Targa frame holds exactly the pixels of the PNG sequence of the
same job, with the expected header, numbering and size; the frames read back
through the Targa importer as the same picture (straight, and premultiplied
when interpreted so); the image-sequence round trip, the format parser and
the renderQueue commands cover it too.
