Autoshop v1.0.0

Autoshop v1.0.0 — the first major release

Autoshop v1.0.0 turns the post-v0.35.0 Lightroom measurement work into a
clearer mask-frame contract, improves modern sidecar import, and makes the
project documentation and release checks harder to drift. The deterministic
develop path remains recipe-based: AI proposes or derives intent, while the
Rust renderer owns the pixels.

What changed since v0.35.0

Rendering fidelity

• Angled LINEAR masks now evaluate their projection in the frame's pixel/aspect
  metric instead of normalized-coordinate distance (ecb6505). On the measured
  9504×6336 probe, the half-contour error fell from 874 px to 9.8 px;
  axis-aligned gradients and square frames remain byte-stable.
• RADIAL mask transport now uses Sony 0x7037's measured (i+1)/16 native
  radius law, a metadata-derived full-raw-frame centre, a 64-knot persisted map,
  and the exact-once m_lr^-1 ∘ T_engine sampler (706ac84). All 41 measured
  radial point vectors close to at most 1 px.
• LINEAR masks now use their measured H2 topology instead of sharing RADIAL's
  pointwise sampler (ad6de62). With correction enabled, Autoshop reconstructs
  the straight gradient in the corrected frame. With correction disabled, it
  transports only the Zero/Full handles and rebuilds one straight line in the
  raw pixel metric.

Lightroom interoperability

• Camera-metadata lens profiles now preserve the mask-warp centre as
  LensProfile.mask_warp_center; disabled-sidecar LINEAR transport preserves
  its separate camera map as LensProfile.linear_handle_warp.
• Modern Lightroom MaskBrushTable data can be read from the companion .acr
  content store with strict directory, digest, envelope, Brotli, and payload
  validation (2cb59a5). Supported table-encoded brushes now import and render
  instead of producing the previous named out-of-model refusal.
• Unmodified table-backed mask groups remain byte-preserved on sidecar merge.
  Unknown or malformed table forms are still refused by name rather than
  guessed or partially imported.
• The lens-profile refusal model remains explicit: unsupported fisheye LCPs,
  unparseable profiles, and missing profile roots do not silently invent a map.

Masks and local AI

• Gesture dabs attached to subtype-0 object masks now become ordered positive
  SAM 2.1 point prompts (1e99e84). Prompt transfer uses a bounded temporary
  JSON file rather than an unbounded command line.
• Only subtype-0 masks that carry gestures receive the new gp1 cache identity
  and re-derive once. Subject masks, sky masks, and gesture-free object masks
  retain their previous cache keys and behavior.
• Object/background intent remains ambiguous in Lightroom's subtype-0 carrier;
  Autoshop continues to disclose that it locally re-derives an alpha rather than
  importing Adobe's unavailable raster.
• The training-data scope comments were audited and corrected (70832eb):
  Autoshop distributes neither ADE20K nor SA-1B, while the downloaded
  OneFormer and SAM runtime artifacts remain governed and digest-gated under
  their own MIT and Apache-2.0 terms.

Application and evaluation

• A new per-user Windows installer needs no administrator access, creates Start
  Menu shortcuts, offers optional desktop and user PATH tasks, and preserves
  the develop store on uninstall.
• Evaluation rows with fewer than 20 observations are marked [low n], and a
  supplementary n-weighted gap is reported without changing the established
  headline, state-file, or n≥20 definitions (ef5a71a).
• Retry disclosures now distinguish native Anthropic 529 refusals from relay
  failures that may have completed upstream, and warn that retrying relay
  524/529 failures can incur a second charge.
• Advisor error bodies use the same bounded read policy as the other response
  paths. Store safety tests now use explicit temporary roots rather than a real
  user data location.
• A same-version rerun measured a 16.3% evaluation gap versus the 17.7%
  baseline. That 1.4-point resampling swing is comparable to the prior
  1.7-point cross-version change, so the 17.7% figure is not evidence of a
  rendering regression.

Documentation and release gates

• The README is now a structured install guide, user manual, CLI reference,
  Lightroom/AI explainer, and measured showcase (53bb77f).
• Architecture and planning docs now state the RADIAL and LINEAR frame laws,
  schema breaks, precision limits, and the current test battery.
• scripts/check_docs.py now checks the exact README RAW-extension membership,
  the exact no-preview format membership, and README/ARCHITECTURE battery
  consistency in addition to the existing version, count, dependency,
  toolchain, camera, and corpus checks.

Hard changes and compatibility

v1.0.0 remains backward-compatible with older recipes: both new lens-frame
fields have defaults, so recipes written by earlier releases remain readable.
Forward compatibility is deliberately strict. Older executables use
deny_unknown_fields for LensProfile and therefore refuse a v1.0.0 recipe
that carries either mask_warp_center or linear_handle_warp. Refusal is safer
than silently discarding a coordinate transform and rendering the mask in the
wrong frame.

The following existing content can render differently in v1.0.0:

• angled LINEAR masks on non-square frames, because their metric is now
  pixel/aspect-correct;
• RADIAL masks paired with camera-metadata lens profiles, because the native
  knot law, map centre, and exact-once transport are now applied;
• LINEAR masks paired with camera-metadata lens profiles, in both the
  correction-on and correction-off paths, because LINEAR now follows H2;
• modern table-encoded Lightroom brushes, which move from named refusal to
  actual brush rendering; and
• subtype-0 object masks with gesture dabs, whose SAM prompt set and scoped
  cache identity now include those dabs.

No released Autoshop version shipped the intermediate 706ac84 LINEAR
behavior; ad6de62 is the v1.0.0 LINEAR contract.

Known limitations

• RADIAL point transport is 41/41 at ≤1 px, but the R2 large-mask dilation has
  an open residual of about 1.2 percentage points. Clean cells are within
  0.35 pp and R1 is about 0.5 pp.
• LINEAR H2 is not 1 px-closed. Correction-on residuals are
  9.748/7.025/6.336 px RMS; correction-off residuals are
  12.449/9.943/4.979 px RMS. A fitted anisotropic-aspect term remains diagnostic
  only and is not shipped.
• AI masks are local re-derivations, not Adobe raster imports. Model or sidecar
  failure leaves the adjustment skipped and disclosed rather than applying an
  inverted mask to the whole frame.
• The X-Trans path is a geometry-aware approximation, not a
  Markesteijn-class directional demosaic.
• Generative reimagine/retouch outputs are lossy, resolution-limited targets,
  not full-resolution deliverable masters.
• Prebuilt artifacts are Windows-only for this release; Linux and macOS are
  built and tested in CI but remain less exercised interactively.

Validation

The v1.0.0 source battery is 871 library tests (862 pass + 9 ignored forensic
probes), 14 CLI tests, 132 GUI-feature tests, and two integration suites with
2 tests each. The GUI-feature Clippy and compile gates are clean.
