Merge main into feat/stroke-latency-trace (keep both new stroke tests)

Stroke latency trace: PHOTOCRAFT_STROKE_TRACE times each frame of a brush stroke (#1343 )
Testers report ~50 ms input-to-pixel while painting on Linux and macOS, and asked for a per-stage breakdown. With PHOTOCRAFT_STROKE_TRACE=1 the app prints, per stroke, p50/p95 of the frame interval, pointer moves per frame, the live stroke's render, the canvas refresh (composite + upload), the UI build, eframe's CPU time (UI, tessellation, submission) and the remaining vsync/swap-chain wait, with the GPU backend; =<file.csv> also appends every frame. The last summary is in the control channel's perf.strokeTrace. RTX 5090, Vulkan, 120 Hz: interval 8.33, cpu 2.2 (ui 0.9, stroke 0.8, canvas 0.4), wait 6.0 ms.

-//! A download that fails is tried again, the later tries past the browser's cache (a bad copy

 /// Color Balance on channel `ch` (0 red, 1 green, 2 blue) of `v` (0..1); `tones` are the
 /// shadows, midtones and highlights slider triples (cyan–red, magenta–green, yellow–blue,
 /// −100..100).
 ///
-/// Reverse-engineered from Photoshop (a 16-bit gray ramp through every tone at ±10..±100, pairs of
-/// tones, and random settings of all nine sliders, Preserve Luminosity on and off): the three
-/// tones fold into one Levels per channel (input black point, input white point, midtone gamma),
-/// within 0.8 of 255 everywhere. Folding matters: a lowered shadows and a raised highlights
-/// slider cancel each other's gamma, which applying the tones one after another doesn't (#3423).
-/// - Preserve Luminosity off: a slider only moves its own channel. Lowered shadows set the black
-///   point to |shadows| levels, raised highlights set the white point to 255 − highlights levels,
-///   and the gamma is 2^(m / 100) with m = midtones + (shadows + highlights) / 2.
-/// - Preserve Luminosity on: each channel's black point is (max − own) shadows levels, its white
-///   point 255 − (own − min) highlights levels, and m = own − (max + min) / 2 midtones.
+/// Reverse-engineered from Photoshop 27.11 (a gray ramp and pure colours through each slider at
+/// ±25, ±50 and ±100, with Preserve Luminosity on and off): every slider is a levels-and-gamma
+/// curve per channel, exact within 1 level for a single slider. With `a` = slider / 100:
+/// - Preserve Luminosity off: a slider only moves its own channel. Midtones is gamma 2^−a.
+///   Shadows is gamma 2^(−a/2) after a black point at 0.39·|a| when lowered; highlights is
+///   gamma 2^(−a/2) after a white point at 1 − 0.39·a when raised.
+/// - Preserve Luminosity on: midtones uses gamma 2^((max(a) + min(a))/2 − a_ch),
+///   preserving the one-slider behaviour without summing offsets when multiple sliders move.
+///   Shadows and highlights go by the differences between a tone's three sliders:
+///   each channel gets a plain black point at 0.39·(max − its own) for shadows and a plain white
+///   point at 1 − 0.39·(its own − min) for highlights (so one raised shadows slider darkens the
+///   other two channels, and two raised together darken only the third).
 ///
-/// A gamma > 1 starts with slope 2^gamma at black ([`balance_gamma`]: up to 18 of 255 brighter
-/// near black without it). When the black point reaches the white point, input
-/// at or above the white point is white and the rest black.
+/// Tones apply highlights, shadows, then midtones (measured with two and three tones on one
+/// channel: within 1 level).

+//! Mode-native flattening of plain CMYK layer stacks (#3778).
 //!
 //! The compositor works in display RGB, so flattening a CMYK document through it reads every ink
 //! value through the profile and separates it again: even a lone Background comes back with
 //! different ink. When every visible layer is a plain raster layer in Normal mode (no masks,
 //! effects, clipping or advanced blending), the composite needs no colour conversion at all:
 //! Normal mixes ink values linearly, as Photoshop does in CMYK, so it is worked out on the stored
-//! values and an opaque layer keeps them exactly. A layer mask (unfeathered) scales the mix, as
-//! it does there.
-//!
-//! Plain adjustment layers that Photoshop evaluates on the inks (Invert, Posterize, Threshold,
-//! Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, Color Balance, and Levels and Curves on CMYK channels)
-//! join such a stack too: on the
-//! stored inks their rules are exact, where the RGB compositor can only apply them to a separation
-//! of its RGB composite, whose black differs from the file's. Such stacks are also rendered for
-//! display this way ([`render_cmyk`]); stacks of raster layers alone keep the RGB compositor there.
+//! values and an opaque layer keeps them exactly.
