Control-channel pointer events (ui.drag) scrub numbers like a mouse but
turn off the edge wrap, so an agent never moves the user's cursor; the
TextBox case of the drag test goes (that plug-in isn't in-tree).

- file.relinkFootage (#461): close the params doc so checked execution
(MCP, control channel) rejects unknown keys; translate its menu entry.
- general.language lists Português (Brasil) (#217).
- docs/agents.md: set_property / add_keyframe take timeBase (#522).
- #299's MCP test no longer sends get_property a value.
- The Automatically Reload Footage sequence test uses PNG frames.
- h264_frames_at_reduced_sizes (#507): the bar depends on the fixture's
encoder; 50 dB with ffmpeg 6.1's x264.

The params parser reads ':' as the start of a value, so 'OpenType?:
discretionaryLigatures?' declared a bogus OpenType key and hid
discretionaryLigatures, and 'ss01?…ss20?' declared only ss01.

- #571's Red/Green/Blue rows duplicated #490's; keep 红色/绿色/蓝色 and give
Traditional Chinese 紅色/綠色/藍色 instead of the English copies.
- The viewer's grid menu says Title/Action Safe again (as in After
Effects and the View menu), with its own catalog rows.
- Half is 二分之一, as in After Effects' Simplified Chinese resolution menu.
- Drop the macOS 'defaults read' fallback for a C locale: sys-locale never
reports one on Apple, so it never ran.

Image sequences are watched only with All Footage (the default,
Non-Sequence Footage, leaves them alone). Purge also forgets the viewer's
per-revision disk keys, which hash footage files' size and time, so a
file reloaded without a new revision is keyed again.

A write to browser storage that failed (quota exceeded) was dropped:
effectcraft.flush() resolved anyway, nothing retried it, and a reload
restored the project from before the change. The failed key now stays
pending and is written again after 2 s (doubling to a minute while it
keeps failing; a newer change of the key goes with it), and flush()
rejects with the error.
Test: failed_writes_retry (store). The flush itself runs only in the
browser.

worker.js left a rejected start (its async init) unhandled, which a
page's Worker error event doesn't see: the page waited for "ready"
forever and the render stayed pending until cancelled. The failed start
is now re-raised where the page's onerror sees it, like the other
worker failures; the job fails with the error and the worker is
terminated.
Test: apps/effectcraft-web/tests/workers.mjs (worker.js with a stub
module whose init rejects; host.js with a worker whose start fails).

Job workers remembered the files they were sent by path and byte
length, so footage replaced by different bytes of the same length at
the same path was never resent: a Render Queue export through a reused
worker rendered the old image while the page showed the new one.
Frame workers remembered paths only, so they never got a replacement
at all.
Every write of a stored file now gets a version, and both kinds of
worker remember the version they were sent.
Tests: versions_change_with_every_write (store) and
apps/effectcraft-web/tests/workers.mjs (Node, fake Worker: the
replacement is sent once, an unchanged file not again).

Every pin move re-rendered the Puppet's input (source, masks and the
effects before it) at full size on the UI thread and deep-copied it
for the mesh overlay: the cache key of a layer's input hashed all of
its effects, so moving a pin of the Puppet changed the key of its own
input. The input key now covers only the effects that run before the
Puppet, and the overlay shares the cached buffer.
Test: input_keys_ignore_later_effects.

- Selecting a mask in the Timeline (its row or Mask Path), or a shape's
Path, selects all its points, so dragging one in the viewer moves the
whole mask, as in After Effects. Delete still removes the mask, and
selecting another property deselects the points.
- Mask Feather has the chain link (Constrain Proportions, on by
default, Alt edits one value) and no longer takes negative values;
Scale's link shows as a toggle too.
- Dragging in the Project panel's empty area draws a selection box
(Shift / Cmd adds); a click there deselects.
Tests: selecting_a_mask_selects_its_points,
mask_feather_values_are_linked_and_not_negative,
dragging_in_the_empty_area_box_selects_items.

An 11000 x 2200 comp at Full resolution renders on the CPU, and the
frame went to egui as one texture over the device's 8192 px limit:
the upload failed every frame (a panic in debug builds) and the window
stopped drawing. Creating a comp that size at Full did the same.
Frames, snapshots, the channel / exposure view, other viewers, the
Layer and Footage panels and the Roto Brush overlay now go up averaged
down by the smallest whole factor that fits. The full frame stays
readable for pixel readouts.
Tests: frames_over_the_texture_limit_are_averaged_down and
full_resolution_frames_wider_than_the_texture_limit_fit (panicked
before).

Since #103, a preview with audio stayed silent until every frame from
the playhead to the end of the preview (or what fits in the RAM
preview) was cached. The prefetch only renders a few frames ahead, so
on a normal work area the sound came near the end or on the second
loop, even when the comp rendered in real time.
The held sound now also starts once the silent preview has kept real
time for a quarter second with the prefetch window ahead cached. A
comp that can't render in real time still waits for the cache, as #103
intended; a stall clears the measured rate so the sound doesn't cut in
and out.
Test: preview_with_audio_sounds_once_rendering_keeps_up (a 30 s comp
sounds within 2 s, without skipping a frame first).

- With a shape layer selected, the toolbar shows its Fill, Stroke and
Stroke Width (with any tool) and editing them changes the layer's
fills and strokes, as in After Effects (new shape.fillStroke, one
undo step per picker or drag). Shapes drawn without a stroke get one
when a stroke colour or width is set, so changing the stroke now works.
- Alt+Shift+P (A, S, R, T) reveals the property it keyed on each layer.
- A click in the time graph below the last layer deselects the layers
(it only deselected keyframes), so a shape tool draws a new shape
layer instead of a mask on the selected image.
Tests: toolbar_fill_and_stroke_paint_selected_shape_layers,
toolbar_stroke_edits_the_selected_shape_layer,
add_position_key_reveals_position,
clicking_below_the_layers_deselects_them.

eframe's default device request asks for wgpu's default limits (8
storage buffers per stage and more). An older GPU such as Intel HD
Graphics 5500 can't meet them, so the device request failed before
EffectCraft ran, and the release build on Windows quit without a word.
The device now asks for the adapter's own limits (textures capped at
16384 px like the headless renderer). The compositor already checks
what it needs and composites on the CPU when the device can't run it.
If the window still can't open, a message dialog says why instead of
the app vanishing.
Test: device_limits_fit_the_adapter. Not checked on that GPU.

Trim Paths, Merge Paths, Repeater and the other path operations
existed (layer.addShapeItem) but no menu added them to a shape layer.
Like After Effects, a shape layer's Contents row now has "Add:" with
Group, Rectangle, Ellipse, Polystar, Path, Fill, Stroke, Gradient Fill,
Gradient Stroke and the path operations; with a shape group selected
they go into it. layer.addShapeItem gains the empty Path and Gradient
Stroke kinds.
A 3D text or shape layer in a Classic 3D comp now shows Geometry
Options with "Change Renderer…", which opens Composition Settings on
its 3D Renderer tab (Advanced 3D comps show the extrusion options).
Popup menus are as tall as the window allows and open upward near its
bottom: the 20-entry Add menu was cut at 420 px, hiding Trim Paths.
Tests: shape_contents_add_menu_adds_path_operations,
classic_3d_shape_layers_offer_change_renderer.

The desktop app opened the demo project whenever it wasn't given a
project file, so File ▸ New Composition on the Home screen added "Comp
4" to the three demo comps. As in After Effects, a launch now starts
with an empty Untitled Project. --demo opens the demo (Help ▸ Open
Demo Project and the Home screen tile still do); --empty is kept.
The arguments are parsed by a function now, with a test
(no_arguments_start_an_empty_project).

Both visualisers read their Audio Layer's samples around the frame
time, but they weren't in TIME_DEPENDENT, so the viewer's layer cache
gave the layer one key for every frame and showed the first frame's
spectrum for the whole preview. Export doesn't use that cache, which is
why it rendered correctly.
Test: audio_spectrum_follows_time_through_the_layer_cache renders a
tone that starts at 0.5 s through a shared layer cache after t = 0 and
compares it with an uncached render (it showed the stale baseline).

#94 asked for native Windows on ARM builds and for their availability and limits to be
documented. The builds landed in #101 (an arm64 entry in the release matrix, the PE checks in
package.ps1 and the windows-arm64 workflow that installs the MSI on ARM64 hardware), but the
README never said they exist. Get started now lists the installers on the Releases page for
each platform, says the Windows ARM64 build runs without x64 emulation, and says what CI checks
on ARM64 hardware and what it doesn't yet (the app's window and a native test run).

A Windows user reported that the Properties panel's font menu offered only the bundled Inter,
JetBrains Mono and Noto Serif. The system font folders were scanned only when a project asked for
a family the bundled fonts lack, so until then every font menu (Properties, Character, Essential
Graphics) and `file.findMissing {what: fonts}` saw the bundled families alone, on every
platform. Listing the families now scans the system fonts first, and the desktop app starts that
scan on a background thread at launch so the menus are complete when first opened.
The style menus in the Properties and Character panels list the chosen family's own styles
instead of a fixed Regular / Medium / SemiBold / Bold / Italic. Both menus build their lists only
while open.
New query for agents: `text.fonts {query?, rescan?}` (MCP tool `list_fonts`) lists every family
with its styles, origin (bundled / system / user) and own-language name; `rescan` picks up fonts
installed since launch.
Tests: a fresh-process test that the family list includes every family in the platform's font
folders without a prior scan (failed before), and `text.fonts` filtering, rescan and per-family
styles, and the `list_fonts` MCP tool.
