A script line for `ui.screenshot` without a `path` had its generated path
assigned with `params["path"] = …`: `serde_json`'s mutable index panics on
an array, a string or a number, and the CLI installs no `catch_unwind`, so
a script handed to the documented headless workflow aborted the process.
Only an object (or null, like an absent `params`) takes the path now;
anything else is a script error naming the line, like the existing handling
of a malformed line.
The regression test runs the real binary on such a script and asserts a
non-zero exit, no "panicked" in stderr and the `params` must be a JSON
object message (it fails before the fix with `cannot access key "path" in
JSON array`).
A library with no photos opened on the Detail view, whose empty state said "Choose a photo in
the grid or filmstrip" while the grid was empty and hidden: the only screen that mentioned
import was off screen, and Import itself was nowhere but the File menu and its shortcut.
- An empty library (no photos, or only deleted or browsed ones) opens on the Photo Grid with the
sidebar (Square Grid stays as it is), in the desktop app and in `lightcraft-cli snapshot`. The
desktop app switches before it notes what its settings file holds, so the switch alone isn't
saved.
- The grid and the Detail view show "Your library is empty" with Import Photos… (primary) and
Import Lightroom Catalog… (not on the web) as buttons, and a line saying photos and folders
can be dropped into the window, with the key Import Photos… is bound to now (`⌘⇧I` on macOS,
`Ctrl+Shift+I` elsewhere, or a remapped one). Not while a folder is browsed under Local or
Recently Deleted is shown: their photos aren't in the library but are on screen.
- The right-hand panel says "No photos yet / Import photos to get started" there instead of
"Select a photo to edit".
- The top bar has an Import button beside Export in every library. The centred search field's
reserve grows by both sides' share (620, and a 190 minimum), so the filter icon stays clear of
the icons on the right at every window width, also with macOS's title bar in the window. The
top bar's icons are named for screen readers, and a refused click says why in a toast.
- `empty_state` is `empty_message` with buttons that do the next step.

The desktop app opened at 1600 x 1000 every time: a resize, or a zoom by a
double-click on the top bar, was forgotten at quit.
The size the window rests at and whether it is zoomed (macOS) / maximized are
kept in ui.json (`window: {size, zoomed}`) and the window is built from them.
A zoomed window keeps the size it goes back to. A size counts once the window
has rested at it for half a second, so the sizes a resize or the zoom
animation passes through do not; one given just before quitting is taken at
exit. Full screen and the window's place on the desktop are not remembered.
Windows and Linux say whether a window is maximized. On macOS egui-winit only
refreshes that at launch and when the app zooms the window itself, so there
the window's size is gone by as well: zoomed when the system said so or the
window was seen to come to fill its screen, and for as long as it keeps that
size. Whatever is in doubt is a window of the size it has, which opens as
large as it was left.
A `window` in the settings that is not one reads as none and costs no other
setting.
Run on macOS with one display; the other platforms follow from reading winit
and egui-winit, so the tracker row is partial.

Photo ▸ Photo Merge ▸ HDR for Each Bracket Set (`merge.hdrBatch`) merges many brackets in one go with the last HDR
options, as Lightroom merges a selection of stacks: one HDR per stack among the photos, then per bracket among the
unstacked ones (`Catalog::bracket_sets`: photos taken less than about a second after the previous one's shutter
closed, at exposures at least ½ EV apart; bursts at one exposure and earlier merge results are left out). The app runs
the merges one after the other in the activity stack (cancelling one stops the rest; a failed set doesn't); the
command runs them inline for the CLI and MCP (`lightcraft-cli merge hdr-batch FILES…`) and reports merged and failed
sets.

Wake the serving loop after protocol output fails and preserve the actual writer error. Use one process-owned stdin worker so the CLI can finish normal backend cleanup without waiting for client EOF, and terminate the output worker even when a progress hook is retained.

Without the XDG settings portal, the start-up fallback asks gsettings for
the GNOME colour scheme, but only looked in /usr/bin, /bin and
/usr/local/bin. NixOS keeps it in /run/current-system/sw/bin or the
per-user profile, so Auto never followed the desktop there. It now tries
the absolute PATH entries first, then those three; relative entries are
still skipped, so nothing runs from the working folder.

Grid thumbnails looked much more denoised than the loupe. `nr_params` sized
the radii from the output's scale relative to the source buffer it was given,
not the original: a 256-px cell drawn from the 512-px thumbnail level used
half the full-size radius on pixels that each average ~23 sensor pixels, and
below 0.4x (0.35x for colour) the radius stopped shrinking at all. The
guided filter's eps (the variance treated as noise) also stayed at its
full-size value although downscaling divides the noise variance by 1/scale²,
so texture in small previews was flattened as noise.
- `SourceInfo::native_long` (filled by the engine from the catalog's photo
size, kept when the decoder supplies its own facts, carried to web
workers) and `Plan::detail_scale` = output pixels per original pixel
(from `px_per_long`, so a crop no longer changes it).
- `nr_params(s, scale)`: radii x scale with no floor, eps x scale². Below
1 px the smallest blur the box Gaussian makes is blended in by the ratio
of variances (`blur::box_sigma`); a fade under 1% skips the filter.
At scale 1 the parameters are unchanged: 1:1 views and full-size exports
render as before. The GPU takes the same parameters.
- RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 63: cached thumbnails are redrawn.
Measured on a 1536x1024 noisy synthetic scene (tests_nr_scale.rs), error
of the preview against the full-size render scaled down, as a fraction of
leaving NR off, luminance NR 50 at preview scales 0.5 / 0.33 / 0.25 /
0.167 / 0.1 / 0.05: before 0.53 / 0.70 / 1.04 / 2.26 / 3.87 / 6.07, after
0.28 / 0.37 / 0.66 / 0.90 / 0.99 / 1.00. A 256-px render from the 512-px
level now matches one from the original (mean 0.07 LSB vs 0.71 before).
photo.cycleFlag steps each selected photo's own flag unflagged -> pick ->
reject -> unflagged; photo.increaseFlag / photo.decreaseFlag move it up or
down reject < unflagged < pick without wrapping. One batch undo step, Compare
and Survey act on the active photo, Auto Advance follows, text fields keep
the key. Shown in Photo > Set Flag and Help > Keyboard Shortcuts.
As in PhotoCraft: when portable.txt (or LightCraft.portable) sits next to the
executable, config_dir() is <exe dir>/LightCraftData, so settings, logs and
models stay with a portable copy instead of %APPDATA%. LIGHTCRAFT_CONFIG_DIR
still wins and is used without probing beside the executable. A portable
folder that can't be written logs a warning and the platform folder is used.
The check runs once per process.

Open the configured SAM directory itself and preserve the pending mask
action and existing files when folder creation or the opener fails.
Run the Linux desktop opener in a background task and deliver failures
to the UI for retry. Directory creation remains synchronous.
Cover configured paths, creation and opener failures, retry state and
worker completion.
Partially addresses #366; model download hosting remains unresolved.

With GPU rendering on and no graphics adapter at all (wgpu: "no GPU adapter among …", e.g. no
Vulkan loader: a `cargo run` outside `nix develop` on NixOS), every render ran on the CPU, much
slower, and only Settings ▸ Performance, Help ▸ System Info and `perf.gpuReason` said why.
The desktop app now queues one start-up notice per session once the device has been tried
(`gpu::ready()`, never blocking): "No graphics processor found: LightCraft renders on the CPU, which
is much slower. Details in Help → System Info.", on Linux with "On NixOS, start it from `nix
develop`." (→, not ▸: no installed font paints ▸.) `panels::notices::gpu_notice` decides from the
reason: nothing when the GPU was turned off (preference, LIGHTCRAFT_GPU, LIGHTCRAFT_GPU_BACKEND=off),
only a software adapter was skipped, or it failed later. Headless sessions and tests never show it
(`app.gpu_notice` is set by the desktop app only). Translated in all nine catalogs; one README
sentence in the Nix section.

Each drag tick changed the edited photo's settings, so the filmstrip asked
for a new thumbnail render every frame. For an unedited raw shown with its
embedded preview, the thumbnail-level source had never been decoded, so each
of those renders decoded the whole raw (a 64 MP ARW: over a second), several
side by side, and the loupe's drafts queued behind them.
- The edited photo's thumbnail is not re-rendered during a slider drag while
it has one; it follows once the drag ends.
- A thumbnail of a photo whose preview-level source is decoded (the one in
the loupe) is cut from that source (SourceRef::Fit) instead of decoding the
file again; not when the photo has a denoised picture.

The close button let eframe drop the window while AppKit's run loop was
still running; AccessKit restored the content view's class and AppKit's
Touch Bar KVO observer threw on the next display cycle. on_exit now ends
the process on macOS once settings and library are saved and background
work has stopped, as #444 does for Quit from the menu bar. Same fix as
storytold/gridcraft#117.
eframe 0.36's App::on_exit takes the glow context as a second argument.
The macOS-only menu-bar Quit path still called on_exit(self), so the
0.7.0 macOS release job failed with E0061. Pass None; our on_exit ignores
it. macOS isn't built in CI, so only the release build caught it.
