The Ease Presets panel (#254) is modelled on a third-party panel, so,
as with third-party tools in After Effects, it isn't core any more: it
is `extensions/scriptui-panels/Ease Presets.jsx`, a ScriptUI panel
bundled as an optional extension (Window ▸ Ease Presets.jsx), written
only against the public scripting API. Clicking a preset eases every
pair of neighbouring selected keyframes in one undo step (per
dimension, along the motion path for spatial properties, the keys'
other sides as they play); the fields edit the working curve, which the
panel draws; From Keys, Save, Rename and Delete as before. The twelve
built-in curves are unchanged.
Scripting API fixes it needed (After Effects parity):
- `app.settings` lasts between runs (`script_settings.json` in the
settings folder; `script.settings.get` / `script.settings.save`).
- Per-key methods (`setTemporalEaseAtKey`, `setInterpolationTypeAtKey`,
`removeKey`, the continuous / auto-Bezier / roving setters) no longer
change the user's key selection (they selected the key they edited).
- `keyInTemporalEase` / `keyOutTemporalEase` report linear and
auto-Bezier sides as they play, `keyIn/OutSpatialTangent` the
tangents the motion path plays.
- `selectedProperties` includes the properties of selected keyframes.
- `isInterpolationTypeValid` is false for Linear / Bezier on values that
only hold.
Removed from core: Window ▸ Ease Presets, the `keys.easePreset.*`
commands, `engine::ease_presets` and the `ease_presets.json` store,
`keyframe::EaseCurve` (nothing else used it) and the egui panel. User
presets saved by the v0.6.0 panel move into the panel's app.settings
section the first time settings load (the old file is left as is).
Docs: plugins.md (bundled extensions), parity.md, gaps.md G8, agents.md.
Test: app_settings_last_between_runs,
per_key_methods_keep_the_key_selection_and_report_eases_as_they_play,
spatial_tangents_are_reported_as_the_path_plays (each fails before),
the_ease_presets_panel_eases_every_selected_pair_in_one_undo_step,
a_typed_curve_scales_to_each_dimension_and_follows_motion_paths,
user_presets_save_rename_delete_and_persist,
presets_saved_by_the_old_core_panel_carry_over (script, through the
panel's controls), ease_presets_panel_eases_the_selected_keys_from_its_list
(UI: the panel docks and a click on a preset eases the keys).

EffectCraft's extension points compared with After Effects' (public
user guide and Scripting Guide) are now in docs/plugins.md, which
becomes "Plug-ins and extensions": scripts, ScriptUI panels and effect
plug-ins, with a short guide and an example panel for writing your own.
ScriptUI panels already came from `Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/` in the
settings folder, were listed at the bottom of the Window menu and
docked as tabs. What was missing: After Effects reopens the panels
that were open when it quit. Now the open panels are remembered in
`scriptui_panels.json` in the settings folder (a panel is added when
it opens and dropped when its tab or its script closes it; quitting
leaves the list), and `window.restoreScriptPanels` opens them again;
the desktop and web apps run it at start-up. A panel whose script is
gone or fails is reported and forgotten, and the others still open.
Where a panel was docked isn't kept, as workspace layouts aren't saved
between launches.
Gaps recorded in plugins.md and gaps.md G8: the Startup and Shutdown
script folders, keyboard shortcuts for scripts, ExtendScript's
`#include` / `#target` directives and `.jsxbin`.
Test: open_panels_open_again_at_the_next_launch (fails before: no
restore command), a_panel_dropped_in_the_folder_is_listed_and_opens_as_a_panel
(script), panels_open_at_quit_dock_again_at_launch (UI: the restored
panel docks with its controls; closing the tab forgets it).

Scripts (Script Console, effectcraft-cli script, the MCP run_script tool) are parsed by Boa,
which recurses per nesting level and overflows the stack (aborting the app) at about 200
levels on an 8 MiB thread. run() now rejects a script nested deeper than MAX_NESTING (96)
brackets with a ScriptError before parsing; strings, template literals and comments are
skipped. Also replaces expect("console context") with an error, and denies the panic lints.
