High Efficiency NEFs (HE / HE★, Z 8, Z 9, Z 6III, Z f) keep compression
34713 but carry a JPEG XS-based codestream (SOC + CAP, FF10 FF50) and no
maker-note 0x0096 table. They fell through to "Nikon compressed NEF
without a linearization table", so the Preview only notice gave Z f users
no hint why their raw wasn't decoded or that Lossless compressed NEFs work.
Detect the codestream before asking for the table and report "Nikon High
Efficiency NEF" with the workaround. Add a synthetic regression test, CC0
Z f HE + Lossless samples to the corpus (raw.pixls.us) with a corpus test,
and list HE NEF among the format gaps in parity.md and ROADMAP.md.
No decoder: the format has no public specification and the existing
decoders (LibRaw, rawler) are LGPL and derived from Nikon's binaries.

An odd-height adaptive QP map (EOS R7: 4732 sensor rows, 1183 QP rows)
was rejected as unsupported, so R7 C-RAW files opened from their embedded
JPEG. The map decodes to the exact end of its entropy stream; the last
row of the second-level high-frequency bands has no partner row and its
QP is used alone. Even-height maps never reach this rule, so the six
verified M50/R100/R8 fixtures are unchanged.
Checked on paired R7 RAW and C-RAW captures (ISO 100 and 6400): all
six C-RAW files decode, developed images match their RAW counterparts
visually, and ISO 6400 sensor means agree within 0.1%.

- With no window (a mask or point-colour overlay, Visualize Spots, soft
proofing, a window refused for a far read) the loupe renders the whole
frame at the size it is drawn. While a slider drags that meant the
photo's every pixel each draft frame at 1:1 and beyond (24 MP per tick
where 2.5 MP was rendered before #351; mask overlays are on by
default). A drag now drafts at most the canvas size, as the windowed
path does; at rest the zoomed frame is rendered as before.
- The Preview size hint in German, Spanish and Russian; the replaced
'Largest long edge…' text removed from those catalogs.

With Shader Cache Size disabled in NVIDIA Control Panel, the driver walks
the whole system drive inside D3D12CreateDevice (traced by the reporter
to NvMemMapStoragex.dll!TotalDiskUsage), before the window's first
frame; Driver Default fixes it (confirmed in #374, PhotoCraft too). The
launch-argument walk found on the way was fixed in #394.

CR2 and PEF decode without a camera colour matrix, like ARW, NEF, RW2,
RAF and CR3, but camera_preview::file_local_look (and the catalog's
relative white balance) left them out, so they rendered with the neutral
fallback matrix: the camera preview showed first, then a flat,
desaturated render replaced it. They now use the same guarded fit and
relative WB; a fit that fails the gates keeps the fallback, so a file can
only stay as it was or move closer to its camera JPEG. Not measured on
the corpus here (raw.pixls.us is blocked from this environment).
RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 15 re-renders cached CR2/PEF thumbnails.

The fixture wrote each row as one literal run of w bytes, which PackBits
can't express past 128 (a 160-pixel row's header byte read as a repeat
run). The old decoder clipped such rows silently; with the PSD fix in
this batch an overrun is an error, as it should be, and the fixture now
splits rows into valid runs.
