Windows x64 preview with faster full-resolution page updates.

Transfer only the bounded page-ink image, then compose it at its exact position on a full-size white page. Resolution, page dimensions and magnification are preserved. Unsupported pages retain the existing raster path. Reuse compression of exact PDF streams in local affected-page previews, with a bounded 8 MiB cache; strict baseline proofs and full builds/exports retain their existing path.

Two fresh matched local comparisons on a private ten-page lecture at 250% scaling (280 input events): text-edit median 310 -> 217 ms; equation-edit median 300 -> 203 ms; typing-burst median 623 -> 441 ms. Burst worst 1178 -> 580 ms. A first edit in one candidate run took 916 ms, so the 300 ms target is not met for every edit. All samples, including that outlier, remain in the sanitized permanent results. Timings stop at a completed hidden-window canvas, not physical display.

Verification: 90 selected unit/native checks, 19 source/package integration reports, 28 exact-pixel cases. Four additional local page checks compared both generated and attached viewer pixels with full native rendering at the actual display scale, with zero mismatches. No private document/profile/raw logs were uploaded. See PAGE-PREVIEW-SPEED.md and PAGE-PREVIEW-RESULTS.json for method and limits.

Install TeX Live separately; close the previous version normally before running the portable executable. Existing documents/settings stay in the local profile. This remains an unsigned prerelease. Mac/Linux downloads remain at separately tested 0.123.0.

Release downloads, checksums, provenance and sanitized measurement summaries do not expire.
