Composite and zoom on the GPU

[IAmJSD]

What

A wgpu GPU backend for rendering, slotted into the Compositor seam the CPU compositor left open:

• crates/compositor-gpu — the layer tree compiles once per composite into a flat op program (plan.rs), which composite.wgsl executes as a per-pixel stack machine: all 27 blend modes (Dissolve hash included), layer masks, clipping stacks, group isolation/pass-through, LUT-compilable adjustment layers and fills. One compute dispatch per tile batch, RGBA8 packing on-GPU for quarter-size readbacks.
• Viewport resampling (zoom/pan/rotate: crisp/bilinear/box + checkerboard) extracted from the canvas view into compositor/src/viewport.rs, with a GPU twin in viewport.wgsl — the main win on large documents zoomed out.
• Backend registry — schist_compositor::set_backend / backend(); the public composite_* functions dispatch through it, so the canvas cache, tools, exports and plugins all accelerate without changes. *_cpu variants remain the reference.
• App wiring — on by default when an adapter exists, Preferences ▸ Rendering toggle (rebuilds caches live), SCHIST_GPU=0|1 env override, clean CPU fallback with a log line otherwise.

Correctness

The CPU compositor stays the semantic contract. The WGSL mirrors pixel-ops formula for formula — operand order, guards, and CPU quirks (e.g. a clip-base group's double-applied mask) included. New parity tests (compositor-gpu/tests/parity.rs) hold the GPU to ±1 RGBA8 step across blend modes, masks, groups, clip runs, adjustments, 8/16/32-bit, regions and every viewport sampling mode; they run under lavapipe in CI-like environments.

Anything the shader can't express falls back to the CPU per call, bit-identically: the four non-LUT adjustment kinds (hue/saturation, black & white, threshold, posterize), layers mid-drag (render_offset != 0), and nesting deeper than the shader's fixed stack.

Not in this PR

Tool and filter math (smudge, clone, large-kernel blurs, Liquify, Content-Aware Scale) stays CPU — the README's "Not there yet" now records where a second GPU seam would pay off (whole-canvas filter kernels) and why per-dab brush work deliberately isn't it.

Notes

• GPUI doesn't expose its render device, so this is a second wgpu instance; batching amortizes the bus crossing, and the damage-driven single-tile path stays cheap either way.
• naga 27 breaks if gpui's tree enables codespan-reporting/termcolor without naga's own termcolor feature — compositor-gpu declares it explicitly (comment in its Cargo.toml).
• 513 workspace tests pass, clippy-clean; verified end-to-end under a real window (Xvfb + lavapipe): boots with GPU compositing on (vulkan · llvmpipe) and renders layered PSDs correctly.

CI is green on all three platforms. Getting there hardened the GPU backend against real driver diversity:

• DX12/WARP: FXC (the default D3D compiler) miscompiled the switch-heavy op interpreter — Color Burn and the f32 source path returned noise while simpler modes passed. The statically-linked DXC is now selected on Windows (WGPU_DX12_COMPILER still wins). Separately, the pack kernel moved to its own WGSL module because naga's HLSL backend rejects overlapping bind slots across entry points that Vulkan/Metal tolerate.
• Metal: fma contraction across Color Burn's b=1 discontinuity flipped 3 channels in 360k; the parity harness now allows 0.01% boundary-pixel slack while keeping the ±1 rounding bar.
• Pipeline creation and every batch now run inside validation error scopes (serialized by a mutex), so a backend that can't run these shaders reports "no GPU" or falls back to the CPU per call instead of silently compositing zeroed buffers — which is exactly how the DX12 failure originally masked itself.

Net effect: the parity suite now genuinely executes on Vulkan (lavapipe), Metal, and DX12 (WARP + DXC) in CI.
