Shape and text layers have comp-sized effect bounds centred on their
origin, but effects measured positions from the origin: a point at its
default "layer centre" sat at the comp's bottom-right corner, so Twirl
on a centred shape changed nothing and Bulge only its bottom-right
quarter. As in After Effects, effects now work in effect space,
measured from the top-left of the layer's effect bounds.
The renderer moves the layer buffer into effect space for the whole
stack (Buf::rebase, CPU and GPU alike) and hands effects everything
else in it: masks, other layers' pixels for layer parameters (each in
its own effect space, so Set Matte and displacement maps see a whole
shape layer), the layer's own frames (layer_input, also what Puppet,
Roto Brush and the Layer panel read) and the comp camera
(CompScene::rebased). Layer bounds are now right for every effect, so
pin_rect and EffectEnv::bounds_origin go and layer_rect serves edge
pinning too. Adjustment layers still run on the comp below as it is.
effect_bounds / EvalCtx::effect_to_comp replace the repeated "comp size
when there is no source" code; the viewer's effect point handles and
eyedroppers, Puppet pins, the Layer panel (paint, Roto Brush) and the
tracker's Corner Pin output use them.
Project schema 2: opening a schema 1 project moves positions held by
effects on shape and text layers by half the comp size, so set points
keep their place (point parameters with keyframes, Paint paths and
clone positions, Puppet seeds and pins, Liquify and Roto Brush
strokes). Points still at their default become the layer centre;
expression controls, adjustment layers and expressions are left as
they are (docs/architecture.md). The disk cache's render version is
bumped.
Tests: default_effect_points_sit_at_the_centre_of_a_shape_layer and
layer_parameters_see_a_whole_shape_layer (render, both fail before),
effect_points_on_a_shape_layer (GPU vs CPU),
opening_a_schema_1_project_moves_shape_layer_effect_points_into_effect_space
(engine), and the effects migration tests.
Part of #227

A user suggested py-aep (MIT, Python), which reads and writes .aep
files. G4 now records it for the clean-room decision, with the two
ways it could be used: as an external converter, or ported, which
means reading another implementation of the format.

The reports of 8 October (#225-#227, #229-#231), their fixes (#235,
#237-#241), what remains of #227 (multi-monitor support, the Project
panel's empty-area menu, effect points on shape and text layers) and
the regression tests for each.

The ui_angles evidence (#141) moves next to G2's other regression
evidence; the Stability row notes the parent-chain hang, the label colour
panic and the contained GPU failures.

gaps.md records the seven reports of 6 October (#85, #88, #89, #93, #103,
#106, #117), what they found in features marked done, their fixes of 7
October and the regression tests; parity.md's Interface, Animation and
Preview rows, the ROADMAP's reliability note and the README's panels
paragraph (drag and drop between panels) follow.

gaps.md records the Windows report and its fix under real-user experience and G2; parity.md's
Text row, the ROADMAP's reliability note and the README's Text bullet say text can use any
installed font; architecture.md says when the system font scan runs.

- effectcraft-segment: a FaceModel interface (find a face in a region, follow it; a Topology
maps the model's points to the tracker's landmarks and outline), a TensorFlow Lite reader and
interpreter (float ops, float16 weights folded; matches ai-edge-litert to ~1e-6), and
MediaPipe Face Landmarker (Google, Apache-2.0: BlazeFace + Face Mesh V2, 3.8 MB, pinned
SHA-256). The registry gains a task and authors per model; installed weights get a NOTICE.
- effectcraft-track: FaceTracker::new_with uses the model, falls back to the classical fitter
when it finds no face; chin and jaw come from the outline either way so measurements agree.
- Engine: roto_models becomes models (both tasks); face.models / face.model.* commands,
Settings ▸ Face Tracking, `wait` on select/install/download for scripts; track.mask reports
faceModel.
- Credits: ATTRIBUTION.md lists the optional models and the Apache-2.0 specs the code follows.
- Docs: README, ROADMAP (G7), gaps, parity (TRK-3 score unchanged pending G1), agents,
preferences, architecture, segment README.

parity.md's ≈99% measures breadth only. docs/gaps.md assesses real-world
readiness by dimension (fidelity, .aep interop, stability, platform
reliability, performance, media, AI tools, maturity) with evidence, and
sets prioritised workstreams with done criteria. ROADMAP, README, parity.md,
AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md point agents at it.
