project_dir rebuilt the folder with `/` and dropped a UNC share's leading
`\`, so a project opened from \server\share\Job looked for its moved
footage under the relative path server/share/Job and never found it. It now
keeps the path's own separator and its leading `/` or `\`.
The relink tests built mixed-separator paths (`…\Job/p.ecproj`) and so failed
on Windows; they now use native paths and check the separator is kept.

The PDF / Illustrator import dialog now offers Composition - Retain Layer
Sizes. Each file layer's footage is cropped to its artwork bounds (fills,
stroke outlines, images, clips) and positioned to keep its place on the
page. Decoding, continuous rasterisation, shape conversion and reload share
one crop (effectcraft_pdf::layer_doc_with_sizes), so they agree.
Also collapses a match guard in the STL reader for current stable clippy.

Problem: the built-in animation preset library had no Backgrounds category
(gap 7: 31 presets against After Effects' 621).
Fix: 23 original Backgrounds presets in crates/engine/presets/backgrounds.json,
built from our own generator, noise, colour and stylize effects: Soft Gradient
Drift, Aurora Veil, Slow Fog, Cloud Bank, Dark Smoke, Ember Haze, Magma Flow,
Ice Flow, Pastel Plasma, Cell Drift, Crystal Facets, Hex Mosaic, Mirrored Silk,
Water Caustics, Blueprint Grid, Checker Scroll, Scrolling Stripes, Pulse Rings,
Bokeh Drift, Spotlight Floor, Dawn Sky, Sweeping Light, Grainy Wash.
The preset format gains `expr` (an expression per property, so backgrounds keep
moving for the whole layer) and point parameters written as fractions of the
layer size. Effects & Presets lists them under * Animation Presets > Backgrounds.
Tests: catalogue uniqueness and categories, apply/undo/redo of every preset
(engine), render of every preset with the expression engine: finite,
non-flat, deterministic, moving (host), panel listing and apply (ui-egui).
Sidecar, ATTRIBUTION.md, gaps.md row 7 and effects-parity.md updated.

The media layer keys decoded frames by path, and nothing dropped them when a
new project (or a new import) named a file that another app had overwritten
since, so a same-size overwrite showed the old pixels. Importing footage and
replacing the project now make the media layer and the layer cache let go of
the files involved.

footage.relink {item, path} relinks one item and every other missing item that moved with it (one undo
step); Replace Footage on a missing item does the same, as in After Effects. File > Dependencies >
Relink Missing Footage in Folder... (footage.relinkFolder) finds missing files by name in a folder;
footage.missing lists them. The footage check after open finds files that moved along with the
project's folder, without marking the project modified. Paths compare by parts, so Windows and macOS
projects relink either way.
Checks: engine relink:: / footage_check:: (13 passed with replay::), host relink:: (1 passed),
clippy -D warnings (engine, host, ui-egui, script, cli, xtask). Not run: ui-egui i18n tests.

Upstream port: the folder search (footage.relinkFolder) is left out, since upstream's file.relinkFootage already scans a folder; the module is relink_moved.rs next to upstream's relink.rs.

Importing an animated GIF as a movie (bfbdadd) made it preview and export
again, but nothing pinned it: the item must probe as a GIF movie and its
rendered frames must follow the file's own per-frame delays, not hold one
still. Add a host integration test that imports a red/green/blue GIF and
asserts each third of its duration renders the matching colour, so a
regression to still-frame import is caught.
- 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.

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.

Reload Footage (Cmd+Alt+L) updated an item's metadata but left the media
pool's decoded frames and the layer cache in place, so the old image kept
rendering until Edit > Purge. It also replaced the footage with a probe of
the merged document, so a Photoshop layer item lost its layer and its
Retain Layer Sizes bounds.
Reload now re-reads only what the file decides (size, a movie's duration,
streams and frame rate, codec, a data file's text), keeps the layer or
page and the interpretation, finds a Photoshop layer again by name, and
makes the media layer forget the file (FootageSource::forget, which also
drops the EXR aux-channel cache) and clears the layer cache.
Settings > Import > Reload Footage Changed on Disk (on by default): the
desktop app stamps footage files (size + modification time) on a worker
thread every two seconds and when the window comes back to the front, and
reloads what changed. Not an undo step and it doesn't modify the project;
a file still being written is retried on the next check.
footage.reloadChanged runs one check (CLI, MCP, agents).

EXtractoR's Red, Green, Blue and Alpha are text parameters naming
channels, and Effect Controls drew nothing for text parameters: there
was no way to choose a layer or channel. And a multi-layer OpenEXR file
whose colour is only in named layers (`diffuse.R`, Blender's
`ViewLayer.Combined.R`) didn't import at all: the image decoder wants an
unnamed RGB layer ("does not contain non-deep rgb channels").
- Effect Controls: EXtractoR gets a Layer popup listing the footage's
OpenEXR layers. Picking one sets red, green, blue and alpha to its
channels in one undo step, as After Effects' EXtractoR dialog does (a
one-channel layer such as depth goes in all three colours). Red /
Green / Blue / Alpha are popups of the layer's own R, G, B, A, every
channel of the file, and (none). The lists are read only while open,
so playing an EXR sequence doesn't parse files on the UI thread.
- `layer.channels {layer}` lists a layer's EXR layers and channels and
what each layer shows in red, green, blue and alpha, for agents.
- Media: an EXR without an unnamed RGB layer imports and shows its
colour layer (one named combined, beauty or rgba first); its channels
stay available to EXtractoR and the 3D Channel effects.
- Raster: AuxChannels::layers / layer_rgba and split_channel.
Test: extractor_shows_the_chosen_layer_and_channels_of_a_layered_exr
(host: a layered EXR written with the exr crate imports, layer.channels,
EXtractoR renders spec and depth; it failed to import before),
extractor_offers_the_exr_layers_and_channels (UI: Layer popup, one undo
step, channel popup), layered_exr_without_an_unnamed_rgb_layer_imports
(media).
