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.

- audio::AudioScrub: an open output that plays a faded snippet (one frame, 30–100 ms) of the
comp's mix at each new frame, replacing what is still queued; holding still repeats nothing.
The mixing is shared with the preview feeder (mix_block); AudioFeed::clear.
- The Timeline ruler: Ctrl/Cmd-drag scrubs audio (EffectcraftApp::scrub_audio opens the output
through the audio device hook on first use). The Audio panel meters follow the snippets; an
idle second closes the output.
- playback.scrubAudio {time?} for agents.
- Tests: ui_audio_scrub (snippet length, fades, same-frame no-op, replace not pile up, silent
comps, Cmd-drag in the ruler, idle close) with a fake device. Docs: parity.

- commands::markers::nested_markers: a precomp layer's comp markers at their times in the
containing comp (start and stretch in closed form; with time remapping or a stretch over
protected regions, the first frame whose source time reaches them), within In–Out.
- markers.nested {layer}: the same list for agents.
- Timeline: drawn on the precomp bar as outlined read-only markers (positions cached per
revision), hover names them, double-click opens the nested comp at the marker; automation id
timeline.layer.<id>.nestedMarker.<i>.
- Tests: engine (start, stretch, trim, time remap, non-precomp error), UI (draw, label, open).
Docs: parity, control protocol.

- PanelKind::Viewer(n): more Composition viewers (panels::viewers). One is active (the full
interactive viewer, showing the active comp); the others show their own comp's frame at that
comp's current time (CPU or GPU frames, their own textures) and become active on a click or
their tab, their comp becoming the active comp.
- view.newViewer (View menu, the Composition panel menu, Alt+Shift+N): a new viewer of the
active comp next to the one in use, which is locked. Opening a comp while the active viewer
is locked shows it in an unlocked viewer, or a new one when every viewer is locked. Closing
the active viewer hands over to another with its comp. Tabs are named after their comp, with
their own lock and swatch; Preview full screen maximizes the active viewer.
- UI state: viewers (comp per viewer) and active_viewer (serde).
- Tests: ui_viewers (lock on New Viewer, routing, click to activate, all locked → new viewer,
close hand-over, tab titles; an ignored snapshot). The bounded-drag frames test asserts what
holds when freed addresses are reused. Docs: parity, control protocol.

- FrameKey's identity is the comp's content (frames::comp_content), not the project revision:
an edit keeps the cached frames of comps it doesn't touch and undo finds the frames of the
state it returns to. The identity hashes the addresses of the comps a comp draws (~0.1 ms on
the 1500-layer test project; the full content hash took ~117 ms), by value the footage, solids,
proxies and project settings; with expressions, every item. Frames::content_of keeps a
project snapshot per identity with frames (or in flight), so Arc::make_mut always copies an
edited comp and its address can't be reused meanwhile; past 64 identities the least recently
used go with their frames (long drags).
- drop_stale is gone (frames of other contents are evicted least-recently-shown first).
- disk_cache::comp_content_key covers items' proxies and Use Proxy (it served stale frames).
- Tests: frames (content keys, edits elsewhere and undo, bounded drags, in-place edit safety),
ui_ram_preview (end to end), the disk cache proxy key. Docs: roadmap (M4 done), parity.

actionlint's shellcheck flagged SC2015 on release.yml's Install wasm-bindgen CLI step, failing
the Packaging lint workflow on main and release since 2 October.

- Home covers the whole workspace below the Tools bar (the panels wait behind it) instead of
the Composition panel.
- Left rail: New Project (primary) and Open Project, the Home / Templates / Learn pages with
icons, and the community links and ArtCraft apps at its foot.
- Home page: "Welcome to EffectCraft", quick-start tiles (New Composition, Open Demo Project,
Import Footage, New from Template) and Recent as a table — thumbnail, name and folder,
Opened (relative), Size, Kind — with a filter field, Clear list and an empty state.
- Theme tokens throughout (light themes follow); web_time for "now" (works on the web).
- Tests: formatters (opened / size / kind) and the new automation ids. Docs: parity.

- paint_logo draws docs/brand/artcraft-mark.png (the README's / getartcraft.com's ArtCraft
mark) as supplied, decoded once into a mipmapped texture, instead of a drawn placeholder.
- The "More ArtCraft apps" sibling and help.sibling named DrawCraft (storytold/drawcraft, which
doesn't exist): it is VectorCraft (storytold/vectorcraft); provenance comments in the path
crate follow.

- Collapsed precomps: the renderer records the precomp layers a nested comp is drawn through;
motion-blur sub-samples re-evaluate their transforms (when their motion blur is on) and map
times down through each one, so the precomp layer's own motion blurs its nested layers. The
containing (outermost) comp's shutter applies to collapsed layers. The GPU compositor gets
this through Renderer::placement.
- Shape and text layers whose content changes within the shutter (compared by its cache key)
draw their source at Samples Per Frame times and average them; the cache key covers every
sub-sample's content.
- Tests: tests_motion_blur_depth (collapsed vs flat, the containing shutter, shape content vs
the same move by Position); each fails without the change.
- Docs: roadmap, parity.

- The Timeline shows one tab per open comp (dock DocTab). Clicking a tab shows that comp; ×
or middle-click closes that comp's Timeline (comp.close), not the panel. Opening a comp brings
its viewer and Timeline tab to the front.
- Project panel: a double-click on an item's name opens it (a comp gets its own tab) instead of
renaming; Enter and the context menu rename.
- Tab drags: over a tab strip an insertion mark shows where the tab lands, and it lands there
(Layout::insert_tab), which also reorders a group's own tabs; side zones are unchanged.
- Tests: ui_tabs (double-click, tab switch / close, drag reorder and cross-group insert; an
ignored mid-drag snapshot); the Timeline close test follows the new behaviour.
- Docs: parity, control protocol.

- effect.pickColor {effect, param|prop, x, y (layer px), average?}: the colour of the effect's
input at a point, set on the parameter (one undo step). Keying effects' Effect Controls
eyedroppers use it, since the shown frame is already keyed; Ctrl/Cmd+click averages 5x5.
- effects::aliases / name_matches: Effects & Presets and effect.list (MCP list_effects) find
Key Light by After Effects' name ("Keylight (1.2)").
- End-to-end test: a green-screen plate with an uneven screen, spill and soft edges keyed via
effect.apply "Keylight (1.2)", pick, Clip Black / White and a render; UI eyedropper test.
- Docs: parity, agents (green-screen recipe).

- J / K (Go to Previous / Next Keyframe) and Ctrl+Alt+A (Select All Keyframes) act on what the
Timeline shows, as in After Effects: the keys of its revealed properties, layer and comp
markers and the work area (they used every property of the selected or all layers, revealed
or not). The commands take `visible: [{layer, prop}]`, which the Timeline fills in; agents
calling them without it keep the previous behaviour.
- Graph Editor ▸ Auto-Select Graph Type (an "Auto" button, on by default as in After Effects):
the speed graph when every property shown is spatial (Position, Anchor Point…), else the
value graph; choosing Value or Speed turns it off.
- Docs: parity, agents.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- Go to Next / Previous Keyframe (K / J) also stops at the work area's start and end, as in
After Effects.
- With one keyframe selected, the Info panel shows its property, time and value instead of
"1 keyframes selected".

- Keys copied from several layers and pasted onto as many selected layers go first to first,
second to second, as in After Effects; every target used to receive every copied property
(the later ones overwriting the earlier).
- Edit ▸ Paste Reversed Keyframes mirrors the clipboard over its span and pastes it through
`keys.paste`, so it now follows the same rules as Paste: the layer's time stretch, the
selected target property, Hold-only properties, value conversion and roving keys (its own
simplified paste ignored them and kept existing keys' easing on a time collision).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- Double-clicking a keyframe of a numeric property (or its context menu ▸ Edit Value…) opens
the property's value dialog for that key, as in After Effects (it only moved the current
time); other keys still move the current time to them.
- The keyframe context menu has Select Equal Keyframes, Select Previous Keyframes and Select
Following Keyframes (`keys.selectEqual` / `selectPrevious` / `selectFollowing`).
- Roving keys draw as small dots in the Timeline, like After Effects.

- `keys.transform {fromStart}`: each step of a merged drag gives the whole transform since the
drag started and applies to the keys as they were then. Keys squeezed onto one frame on the
way (Alt-drag scaling, the transform box) are no longer merged for good, and a slow
transform-box move, whose per-frame offsets rounded to nothing, now moves the keys.
- Dragging a key in the Graph Editor moves every selected key in time and value (it moved only
the grabbed one), by how far the pointer went from where the button went down (the key no
longer jumps under the pointer); Shift keeps the drag to the time or the value axis.
- Shift+click toggles a key in or out of the selection; Ctrl+click switches Linear ↔ Auto
Bezier and Ctrl+Alt+click toggles Hold, as in the Timeline.
- The transform box and the Timeline's Alt-drag scale send whole-gesture values.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- A drag (keys.move steps sharing a merge key) applies its total offset to the keys as they
were before it (`Session::key_move`, `prop::shift_keys`): dragging over another key of the
property no longer deletes it; only the drop position replaces a key, as in After Effects.
- Keys of time-stretched layers move with the pointer: offsets are applied in comp time and
snapped to comp frames (drags and Alt+Arrow nudges; they moved by the layer-time distance).
- Shift+click toggles a key in or out of the selection (`keys.select {toggle}`); Ctrl+click
switches Linear ↔ Auto Bezier and Ctrl+Alt+click toggles Hold.
- Keys of locked layers can't be selected (clicks, marquee, Select All Keyframes), so nothing
edits them.
- Toggle Hold off returns an eased key to Bezier (it always restored Linear).
- Shift-dragging a key snaps to everything the current time snaps to — other keys, layer in /
out points, layer and comp markers, the work area — and a tooltip shows the key's time and how
many frames it moved.

Each reading starts PowerShell on Windows (in the background since the previous commit); the
cache budgets only need to follow memory pressure, not track it closely.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
The windowing layer delivers Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V as clipboard events instead of key
presses, and the shortcut dispatcher only read key presses: in the app, copying and pasting
keyframes, layers and effects with the keyboard did nothing (tests passed because they inject
key presses). Clipboard events now map back to their keys with the modifiers held (so Ctrl+Alt+C
and the other variants work too), except while text is edited in the viewer, which handles them
itself. Ctrl+V sends no event while the system clipboard is empty, so copying now also puts a
line naming what was copied on it ("EffectCraft: 3 keyframes").

Dragging a keyframe moved it a frame or two and then let go: the key's widget id includes its
time, so after the first move it was a new widget and egui ended the drag. The Timeline now
follows the whole gesture itself (`KeyDrag`: from where the button went down, by whole frames,
every selected key, one undo step), like After Effects. Holding Shift snaps the grabbed key to
the current time, the work area and composition markers.

Every 10 seconds the UI thread re-read the system's memory for the cache budgets, and on
Windows that starts PowerShell (`Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem`) and waits for it:
about a second, sometimes two, during which the whole app froze. The reading now runs on a
background thread (`sysinfo::MemoryWatch`); `Session::memory_tick` takes the last reading and
starts the next one, never waiting. Console programs started for it no longer open a console
window (`CREATE_NO_WINDOW`).

`Project::same_content` ignored `next_id`, so an edit that only took an id was dropped as a
no-op and the id could be handed out again (an edit may keep it beyond the project).
`guard::tests::the_session_survives_a_panicking_edit`, merged after M3.9, failed on main for
this reason. Ids now count; setting a value to what it already is still records nothing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- parity: the status note covers the M3.9–M4.12 passes (feature counts unchanged: they fixed
behaviour inside features already counted done) and the GPU effect count matches EFF-5 (280);
the Layers, Compositions, Interface, Project and Preview rows name what is left and what
landed; landed items in "Highest-value gaps" are struck through with where they landed, the
gaps the passes left are items 16–18, and the closing paragraph no longer says 69 menu entries
are disabled.
- ROADMAP: what is left includes the preview gaps.
- web: a restored session with unsaved changes stays modified and asks before closing.
- preferences: Adaptive Resolution Limit applies while dragging, not to playing previews.
- agents: nested comp settings and New Comp from Selection for several items.

The web app reopens the last visit's project and, when it had unsaved changes, marked it
modified with `bump()`. Since M3.9 the modified mark follows the saved snapshot, and a bump on
the very project just opened counts as "back at the saved state", so restored changes looked
saved (no `*`, no unsaved-changes prompt). `Session::mark_unsaved` forgets the saved snapshot
instead: the project stays modified until saved, whatever is undone. Regression test included.

Following AGENTS.md's Never crash rules for the M3 / M4 additions:
- Cache Frames When Idle panicked (`clamp` with min > max) when the work area was inverted
(start set past the end); an empty work area now has nothing to cache.
- `file.newCompFromSelection`: the sequence overlap times the layer count overflowed for a huge
`overlapDuration` (wrapping to a wrong comp length without overflow checks); negative or
non-finite values fall back to 1 s and the product saturates. The lead item is read with
`get()` instead of indexing.
- Layer Settings' enablement reads the first selected layer with `first()`.
- Regression tests for both (each failed before the fix).
