Adds Review, Learn, Essential Graphics, Color and Undocked Panels to the
built-in workspaces (Libraries, an Adobe service, is left out), lists them all
in Window > Workspace in After Effects' order, and gives each its own layout:
Review (large viewer, Markers and Project), Learn (Default plus the Home
screen with the community links), Essential Graphics (Properties panel full
height, type panels), Color (wide Effect Controls, Info), Undocked Panels
(Composition docked, the other panels floating). Tests check every AE
workspace exists, has its own layout, has each panel once and is in the menu.

Composition > Composition Flowchart charts the active comp as a node graph:
nested comps, footage and solids, optionally the layers and their effects
(panel switches Solids / Layers / Effects), left to right or top to bottom.
Double-click a comp to open it, Cmd/Ctrl-click to reveal an item in the
Project panel (a layer: select it), drag or scroll to pan. Reveal Layer in
Project Flowchart shows layers with the layer selected. The graph builder is
pure and cycle-safe (shared items drawn once, back edges to comps on the path).
Commands flowchart.options {layers, effects, solids, direction, comp} and
flowchart.graph (the graph as JSON); automation ids flowchart.node.<id> and
flowchart.option.<key>.

The Home screen (panels/home.rs) gets New Project / Open Project / New
Composition / Open Demo Project / Import, the recent projects from Settings
(File > Open Recent) with thumbnails, folder and modified date (click opens,
Clear list), and the ArtCraft community links (Discord, getartcraft.com, the
EffectCraft page, GitHub, sibling apps) where After Effects has Learn / What's
New. A 96x54 thumbnail is stored in the config store when a project is opened
or saved and the viewer shows it. Automation ids: home.<command>,
home.recent.<i>, home.clearRecent, home.sibling.<slug>.

Native menu bar (apps/effectcraft, muda, macOS only): the engine's After Effects
menu tree mirrored into NSMenu through a pure, serializable spec
(ui-egui native_menu: submenus, separators, live labels, check marks, enabled
state, Cmd/Ctrl/function-key shortcuts as accelerators, Open Recent). Hide /
Hide Others / Show All are macOS' predefined items (app.hideOthers/app.showAll
are real commands now, via NSApplication); Services added; About, Settings and
Quit dispatch our commands. State is pushed only when the session revision,
selection, history, settings or journal change; structural changes rebuild.
Activations dispatch the same command ids as the in-window bar; Edit
Cut/Copy/Paste/Select All/Undo/Redo act on a focused text field. Settings >
Appearance > Use In-Window Menu Bar on macOS switches back.
Timeline: column visibility from the column header's context menu (A/V
Features, Keys, Label, #, Comment, Switches, Modes, Parent & Link, In, Out,
Duration, Stretch; Source/Layer Name toggle), Comment editing
(layer.setComment), draggable In/Out/Duration cells, Stretch opens Time
Stretch; property search filters layers and reveals matching properties with
their groups; Shift+P/S/R/T/A/E/M/F/L/U add to the revealed properties; UU
reveals all modified properties; Shift-drag in the ruler snaps the CTI to keys,
in/out points, markers and the work area. Commands: timeline.column,
timeline.sourceName, timeline.search, timeline.revealAdd.*.

New L0 crate effectcraft-opusenc: clean-room RFC 6716 CELT-only encoder
(fullband 48 kHz, 20 ms packets, mono/stereo as dual L/R stereo, constant
packet size from the bitrate) with the RFC 7845 OpusHead and pre-skip.
Forward low-overlap MDCT, inter/intra coarse energy, fine/final energy,
the decoder's exact allocation, recursive band splitting, PVQ search and
codeword indexing, silence frames.
crates/export depends on it; filmcraft-opus (dev) is the round-trip oracle
in tests/opus_roundtrip.rs, with ffmpeg reading an in-test Ogg Opus file
as a second oracle when installed.

Extruded text keeps per-character 3D: each glyph's outline is extruded in its own space and
placed by its animated matrix; shape layers extrude their fill outlines (gradients use their
mid colour). Shadow-map bias scales with the texel footprint at the receiver and the PCF
reach (no acne on curved casters), identically on CPU and GPU. Docs: Advanced 3D in
architecture.md, parity table updated (3D, Text).

Advanced 3D comps render their 3D runs as one scene of world-space triangles: model and
primitive layers (meshes, skinning, animation clips by layer time), extruded text/shape
layers, and textured cards for every other layer with their Material Options. Shading is
physically based in linear light: Cook-Torrance GGX + Lambert for parallel/spot/point lights
(AE falloff and cone), ambient lights, image-based light from an Environment light's layer
(equirectangular; cosine irradiance map + roughness mip chain + split-sum BRDF fit), and
PCF shadow maps (spot/parallel/point cube faces). 2x2 SSAA, depth of field as a gather blur
by circle of confusion, back to the working encoding.
The software rasteriser (depth buffer, top-left rule, perspective-correct, opaque visibility
then sorted transparent blending) is the reference and CI path; effectcraft-gpu implements
Accelerator::raster_3d with a wgpu render pipeline (advanced3d.wgsl) and matches it within
tolerance. Environment layers are hidden from both renderers.

Keeps the GPU's public placement() API (motion-blur sample count now
shared via mb_samples) and the footprint-limited quantisation; the CPU
fallback helpers draw_layer_cpu / draw_collapsed_cpu pass blank = false.

Auto backend keeps comps with 3D layers on the CPU compositor (3D runs are
still CPU-composited; the GPU round-trip made them slower).

Region-of-interest frames render on the CPU path; the viewer keeps main's
frame drawing (Show Channel, exposure, ROI) and reads GPU-composited frames
back. Keeping frames as native egui-wgpu textures stays implemented behind
RenderSource::gpu_display (off).

8/16 bpc no longer re-quantises the whole comp after every layer: 2D layers
report the canvas region they can change (transformed buffer bounds plus the
resampling margin; stencil modes, motion blur, perspective, styles,
adjustment and 3D runs fall back to the full canvas), and only that region
is quantised. A quantised buffer placed pixel-exactly (integer translation,
Normal, 100%) over a blank canvas needs nothing; invisible layers need
nothing; collapsed precomps quantise per nested layer. The redundant final
comp pass is skipped unless the comp is re-encoded. Solids are filled with a
pre-quantised colour and skip the source pass unless masked. Row-parallel
vectorisable kernel. Debug builds verify every pixel outside the region is
already quantised (whole workspace test suite run with 8 bpc forced: no
violations).

Library groundwork for mask tracking (MSK-3) and the Warp Stabilizer (TRK-2),
clean-room from published methods:
- track::klt: Shi-Tomasi corners, pyramidal Lucas-Kanade with forward-backward check
- track::fit: RANSAC + least-squares translation/scale/similarity/affine/homography
- track:😷 MaskTracker following the pixels inside a mask outline per frame
- track::stabilize: incremental clip analysis (serde WarpAnalysis), Gaussian path
smoothing (Matsushita 2006), No Motion, preserve scale, crop / auto-scale with
max-scale relaxation
- path::interp: Mask Interpolation correspondence (arc-length vertex insertion,
shape-context matching) and rigid/linear in-betweens
Engine commands, UI and the effect itself are not wired yet (stubs unchanged).

The desktop viewer builds the GPU compositor on egui-wgpu's device and,
with Mercury GPU Acceleration, renders frames into RGBA8 textures that are
registered with egui-wgpu and drawn directly (no readback); the RAM preview
cache holds them under a video-memory budget. Pixels are read back only on
demand (Info panel, eyedroppers, histograms). Project Settings gets the
Video Rendering and Effects renderer choice. ui_gpu test: GPU viewer frame
matches the CPU one (skips without an adapter).

New L3 crate effectcraft-gpu: a wgpu compute backend for the per-frame
compositing walk (layer transforms with the CPU's nearest/bilinear/bicubic
sampling and minification pre-filter, motion-blur accumulation, track
mattes, Preserve Transparency, layer style passes and knockout, all 38
blend modes as a WGSL port of color::blend, 8/16 bpc clamp+quantise,
colour-space conversions). 3D runs, adjustment and wireframe layers run on
the CPU between GPU steps. GPU effects with the CPU semantics: Gaussian,
Fast Box and Directional Blur, Glow, Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation, Tint,
Fill, Gradient Ramp, Fractal Noise, Drop Shadow, Brightness & Contrast,
Exposure, Invert, Transform (registry gpu badge from effects::GPU_EFFECTS).
render: Backend (Cpu/Gpu/Auto) in RenderOpts, the Accelerator trait and
Renderer::accel, GPU effect chains in the effect stack, hooks for the GPU
walk. Project setting gpu_acceleration (Mercury GPU Acceleration / Software
Only), render.backend command, file.projectSettings renderer. Session and
Render Queue exports carry the accelerator. CLI --gpu and bench --gpu.
Tests compare GPU vs CPU renders (blend modes x bit depths, transforms,
masks, mattes, motion blur, colour management, styles, collapse,
adjustment fallback, every GPU effect) and skip without an adapter.

TextDoc gains character style runs (font, size, colours, tracking, leading,
baseline shift, h/v scale, tsume, faux styles, caps, super/subscript, kerning
metrics/optical/manual, ligatures) and per-paragraph settings (justification
with last-line modes, indents, space before/after, direction, composer,
hanging punctuation), serde-compatible with single-style documents. Layout
handles mixed runs on a line (shared baseline, largest leading), every-line
composer, editing geometry (carets, hit testing, selection quads) and basic
vertical type. Renderer colours per run. Expressions get the sourceText style
API (style, getStyleAt, createStyle, setters with character ranges).
