+
+## Features
+
+- Responsive timeline editing with smart disk/playback caching
+- Node-based compositing and effects, including an OpenFX (OFX) plugin host
+- Full color management (OpenColorIO): `.cube`/`.3dl` LUTs, configurable display/view/look transforms
+- Scopes: waveform, vectorscope, histogram, and audio meters (LUFS/VU)
+- Bézier keyframe animation with a curve editor
+- Multicam editing and waveform-based audio sync
+- Proxy media workflow for smooth 4K/8K editing
+- Hardware-accelerated and batch export (H.264/H.265, image sequences, audio)

+| Component | Kind | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `liboakcore` | shared library | Qt-free core types (rational, timecode, bezier, sample buffer, audio/video params) with a pure C ABI |
+| `liboakengine` | shared library | the editing engine (node graph, timeline, render, codec, tasks), exposed only through the `oakengine_*` C ABI facade |
+| `oak-editor` | application | the Qt GUI; talks to the engine **only** through the C ABI |
+| `oak-render-worker` | process | headless render process that executes frames off the GUI thread (NDJSON IPC) |
+| `oak-cli` | tool | command-line frontend for the engine: media info, probing, rendering, and transcoding without the GUI |
+
+The C ABI boundary is what makes the engine embeddable and is the foundation for a planned module-by-module rewrite of the engine in Rust (see [`docs/zh/plans/riir.md`](docs/zh/plans/riir.md)).
+
+<!-- DIAGRAM: component / ABI layout -->
+![Architecture diagram](docs/images/architecture.png)
+
+## Command-Line Tools
+
+`oak-cli` is a standalone, pure-C-ABI consumer of the engine:
+
+```bash
+oak-cli info <file>                    # media information
+oak-cli probe <file>                   # stream/decoder probe
+oak-cli render <project.ove> <out>     # render a project range
+oak-cli transcode <in> <out>           # transcode media
+```
+
+## Building from Source
+
+See [`docs/build.md`](docs/build.md) for full instructions (Windows/MSYS2, Linux Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch, and [`docs/build_macos.md`](docs/build_macos.md) for macOS). In short:
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build -G Ninja
+cmake --build build
+ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
+```
+
+## Roadmap
+
+| Version | Theme | Core Deliverables |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| **0.3** | **Plugin Architecture** | Production-ready OpenFX host support — "any OFX plugin loads without crashing" |
+| **0.4** | **Color, Audio & Performance** | `.cube`/`.3dl`, scopes, three-way color wheels, waveform auto-sync, BWF timecode sync, audio meters, proxy media, hardware-accelerated export, batch render queue |
+| **0.5** | **Animation, Tracking & Collaboration** | Bézier keyframe curve editor, point tracking, image stabilizer, full multicam, OpenTimelineIO, EDL/XML interchange |
+| **0.6** | **Stability** | Project file format freeze (backward compatibility), crash recovery, autosave, memory optimization |
+| **1.0** | **Production Ready** | Complete documentation, installers, known-issues list, community support |
+
+## Contributing
+
+Contributions are welcome. Please read [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) first — it covers:
+
+- the code style (naming rules, including `PascalCase` struct typedefs),
+- the **Google Test** requirement for all tests,
+- the C ABI boundary contract for engine-facing code.
+
+Useful project docs: [`docs/zh/`](docs/zh/) (中文文档), [`docs/zh/facade-migration-roadmap.md`](docs/zh/facade-migration-roadmap.md), [`docs/zh/plans/riir.md`](docs/zh/plans/riir.md).

+ * Qt does contain its own functions for this, however they have some limitations. Some things that

+ * QTextHtmlExporter and QTextHtmlParser. Additionally, since these functions are not part of Qt's
+ * public API, and make many references to other parts of Qt that are not part of the public API,
+ * there is no way to subclass or extend their functionality without forking Qt as a whole.
+ *
+ * Therefore, it became necessary to write a custom class for the conversion so that we can
+ * ensure support for the features we need.
+ *
+ * If someone wishes to extend this class for more feature support, feel free to open a pull
+ * request. But this is NOT intended to be an exhaustive HTML implementation, and is primarily
+ * designed to store rich text in a standard format for the purpose of text formatting for video.

+/**
+ * @brief Qt-signal adapter over the liboakengine event C ABI
+ * (oakengine/events.h).
+ *
+ * The facade delivers engine change notifications as C callbacks; the
+ * application consumes Qt signals. EngineEventBridge sits in between:
+ * subscribe() registers a C callback on an engine handle, and the bridge
+ * re-emits the event as the matching typed Qt signal. This is the standard
+ * replacement for connect(engineObject, &EngineClass::signal, ...) at the
+ * remaining app -> engine connection points (see
+ * docs/zh/facade-migration-roadmap.md).
+ *
+ * Semantics match the connections they replace: the engine invokes the C
+ * callback synchronously on the emitting thread (Qt::DirectConnection
+ * equivalent) and the bridge emits its Qt signals from that same callback,
+ * so receivers are still called synchronously on the engine object's

+
+<!-- 截图：节点编辑器 -->
+![节点编辑器截图](../images/screenshot-node.png)
+
+## 下载
+
+Windows、macOS、Linux 预编译包见 [Releases](https://github.com/OakVideoEditorCommunity/oak/releases) 页面。
+
+最新版本：[v0.4.2-alpha](https://github.com/OakVideoEditorCommunity/oak/releases/tag/v0.4.2-alpha)
+
+## 架构
+
+Oak 拆分为若干可独立测试的组件，组件之间以**纯 C ABI** 为边界：
+
+| 组件 | 形态 | 作用 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `liboakcore` | 动态库 | 无 Qt 依赖的核心类型（有理数、时间码、贝塞尔、采样缓冲、音视频参数），纯 C ABI |
+| `liboakengine` | 动态库 | 剪辑引擎（节点图、时间线、渲染、编解码、任务系统），仅通过 `oakengine_*` C ABI facade 暴露 |
+| `oak-editor` | 应用程序 | Qt 图形界面，**只**经 C ABI 访问引擎 |
+| `oak-render-worker` | 进程 | 无头渲染进程，在 GUI 线程之外渲染帧（NDJSON IPC） |
+| `oak-cli` | 工具 | 引擎的命令行前端：媒体信息、探测、渲染、转码，无需 GUI |
+
+这条 C ABI 边界让引擎可以被嵌入，也是后续将引擎按模块逐步用 Rust 重写的基础（见 [`riir.md`](plans/riir.md)）。
+
+<!-- 架构图：组件与 ABI 布局 -->
+![架构图](../images/architecture.png)
+
+## 命令行工具
+
+`oak-cli` 是一个独立的、纯 C ABI 的引擎消费者：
+
+```bash
+oak-cli info <文件>                    # 媒体信息
+oak-cli probe <文件>                   # 流/解码器探测
+oak-cli render <project.ove> <输出>    # 渲染工程指定范围
+oak-cli transcode <输入> <输出>        # 媒体转码
+```
+
+## 从源码构建
+
+完整说明见 [`build.md`](build.md)（Windows/MSYS2、Linux Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch）和 [`build_macos.md`](build_macos.md)（macOS）。简要步骤：
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build -G Ninja
+cmake --build build
+ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
+```
+
+## 路线图
+
+| 版本 | 主题 | 核心交付物 |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| **0.3** | **插件架构** | OpenFX 宿主支持完整可用——"任意 OFX 插件加载不崩溃" |
+| **0.4** | **调色、音频与性能** | `.cube`/`.3dl`、示波器、三向色轮、波形自动同步、BWF 时间码同步、音频表、代理媒体、硬件加速导出、批量渲染队列 |
+| **0.5** | **动画、跟踪与协作** | 贝塞尔关键帧曲线编辑器、点跟踪、画面稳定器、完整 Multicam、OpenTimelineIO、EDL/XML 导入导出 |
+| **0.6** | **稳定性** | 工程文件格式冻结（向后兼容）、崩溃恢复、自动保存、内存优化 |
+| **1.0** | **生产就绪** | 文档完整、安装包、已知问题清单、社区支持渠道 |

+# liboakengine 纯 C ABI 迁移 — 重做交接执行计划（v4）
+
+> 本文档是后续执行者（DeepSeek Flash 或任何接手代理）的**唯一权威执行依据**。
+> v4 重写背景：2026-07-23 上一任执行代理误执行 `git checkout --`，把全部未提交的
+> 迁移工作回滚到 HEAD。后经 JetBrains LocalHistory 部分恢复。
+> **本文档面向没有此前对话记忆的执行者，自包含。**
+>
+> 契约细节（C ABI 头文件规则、事件机制 SOP、undo 规则、硬规则 R1–R6、各 facade 族
+> 签名）未在本文重复的，均以同目录 `c-abi-migration-handoff.md`（v3，已随
+> branch 提交保留）为准。两份文档冲突时，**本文（v4）优先**。
+
+---
+
+## 0. 事故记录与新的 git 铁律
+
+### 0.1 发生了什么
+
+- 迁移战役（B1–B11a）全部工作曾处于**未提交**状态。执行代理误执行
+  `git checkout --`，所有已跟踪文件的修改被回滚到 HEAD（fcf717f6a）。
+- 未跟踪新文件（约半数 facade 族、全部测试、部分 app 文件、v3 交接文档、
+  RIIR 计划）未受影响；已跟踪文件的修改（node/timeline/project/preview 的
+  facade 扩容、几乎全部 app 侧调用点迁移、CMake 注册、roadmap 记录）丢失。
+- 用户随后从 JetBrains LocalHistory 导出恢复了一大部分（详见 §2 清单）。
+- 当前工作全部在分支 **`c-abi-migration`** 上，已有 3 个抢救/修复提交
+  （b11d91f56 → e0e51647d → d1779d74e）。
+
+### 0.2 新 git 铁律（覆盖此前"禁止 git 写操作"的旧规则）
+
+1. **所有工作只在 `c-abi-migration` 分支进行。**
+2. **每完成一个小步立即提交**（一个族、一个文件、一个修复都算一步）。
+   提交信息写明批次与内容。**绝不隔夜持有未提交工作。**
+3. **严禁** `git checkout --` / `git restore` / `git clean` / `git reset --hard` /
+   `git stash`（这些命令曾毁掉一次战役）。确需回滚某个文件时，用
+   `git show HEAD~N:<path>` 读出内容后手工写回，并先经用户确认。
+4. push 与否由用户决定；本地提交不需要再请示。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 目标与验收（不变）
+
+1. `liboakengine.so` 动态符号表无 `olive::` C++ 符号（仅 `oakengine_*` + Qt/系统符号）。
+2. `oak-editor`、`oak-render-worker` 不 import 任何 `olive::` C++ 符号（豁免见 §6.4）。
+3. 全量测试通过；`engine/include/oakengine/*.h` 每个函数有测试覆盖。
+4. worker 端到端 harness 保持通过（不重做）。
+
+**度量命令**（统一口径）：
+
+```bash
+nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"     # 总指标
+nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep " U _ZN5olive" | c++filt | sed 's/.* U //;s/(.*//' | awk -F'::' '{print $1"::"$2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
+nm -D --defined-only cmake-build-debug/engine/liboakengine.so | grep -c " T _Z"
+grep -ho "oakengine_[a-z_0-9]*" engine/include/oakengine/*.h | sort -u > /tmp/decl.txt
+cat engine/tests/oakengine_*_test.cpp | grep -ho "oakengine_[a-z_0-9]*" | sort -u > /tmp/tested.txt
+comm -23 /tmp/decl.txt /tmp/tested.txt                              # 覆盖审计
+cmake --build cmake-build-debug -j$(nproc)
+cd cmake-build-debug && ctest --output-on-failure -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+已知 flaky：`oak_cli_transcode`、`oakengine_export_test`、`olive-gtest`（偶发 SEGFAULT，
+单独重跑两次仍失败才算真失败）。
+
+---
+
+## 2. 当前状态（2026-07-23 实测）
+
+### 2.1 构建状态
+
+**当前构建是红的**，错误只集中在 4 个丢失的 facade 扩容族（§3 R1–R4）。
+其余部分（含 app、worker、cli、liboakcore、liboakengine 既有 facade）编译通过。
+
+### 2.2 幸存且已提交（不要重做）
+
+- **完整 facade 族**（头 + 实现 + 测试）：`app`、`audio`、`color`、`config`、`disk`、
+  `encoding`、`events`、`gizmo`、`lut`、`plugin`、`proxy`、`serializer`、`sync`、
+  `task`、`traverse`、`undo`、`videoparams`、`viewer`、`worker`，以及更早期已入库的
+  `init`/`ipc`/`export`/`exporter`/`playback`/`spscringbuffer`。
+- **全部 facade 测试文件**（engine/tests/oakengine_*_test.cpp，含 node/keyframe/
+  timeline_edit/footage/preview/renderer——**丢失族的测试还在，它们就是重做时的
+  API 规格书**）。
+- **app 侧**：`engineeventbridge.{h,cpp}`、`app/common/*`（configwrapper、undowrapper、
+  colorcodingapp、filefunctionsapp、hashstreamapp、htmlapp、xmlutilsapp、debugapp）、
+  各 handle 头（keyframehandle/markerhandle/cliphandle/trackhandle/colorprocessorhandle/
+  vieweroutpututils）、`markerpainting.*`、`app/timeline/`、`app/ui/icons/`。
+- **文档**：v3 交接文档（`c-abi-migration-handoff.md`）、RIIR 计划（`plans/riir.md`）、
+  roadmap 批次记录（经 LocalHistory 恢复，`facade-migration-roadmap.md`）。
+- **结构性改动**：B1 图标（engine 返回图标名 + app from_name 映射，已修复一致）、
+  B2 布局 POD（SerializedLayoutInfo 全链路，已修复一致）、B3 coreengine.h、
+  B7 managedcolor 删除与 VideoParams 头内联、CMake 全部注册（engine/capi/app/ui/
+  timeruler/timeline/serializer/render）、`oak_proxy_params` POD（已补回 footage.h）、
+  undostack B9a 访问器（已补回）、`engine/config/config.h` 的 `#ifndef OAK_CONFIG` 守卫、
+  textv3.h 的 text_gizmo 访问器。
+
+### 2.3 丢失（= 重做范围）
+
+| # | 内容 | 批次 |
+|---|---|---|
+| R1 | `engine/include/oakengine/node.h`（545→~1500 行）+ `engine/src/capi/node.cpp`（1590→~3700 行）：OAK_NODE_VALUE_* 完整枚举、输入元数据/property、值读写、多轨关键帧、`OakEngineKeyframe` 句柄族、NodeDragger、undoable 批量原语、context 位置族、group passthrough 族、multicam 族 | B8a/B8b |
+| R2 | `timeline.h`/`timeline.cpp`：track 高度换算、block_is_enabled、clip 输入 id 六 getter、`clip_set_media_in`/`request_invalidate`/`discard_cache`/`add_cache_passthrough`、marker 句柄族（OakEngineMarkerList/OakEngineMarker ~20 函数）、workarea 句柄族（~8）、`sequence_add_default_nodes`、`clip_get_media_range_rational`、块遍历族 | B4c |
+| R3 | `project.h`/`project.cpp`：folder 族（create/has_child_recursive/index_of_child/child_input_key/add_child）+ **`oakengine_folder_move_child`**（v3 新增，单条 undo 移动） | B5 |
+| R4 | `preview.h`/`preview.cpp`：cacher 四函数、`OakEnginePreviewRequest` 异步请求族（~10 函数）、playback cache 句柄 + `valid_ranges`/`indicator_height`、frame cache 句柄、waveform/audio analyze 两函数；事件 141/142/143 | B9c |
+| R5 | app 侧全部已跟踪调用点迁移（viewer 簇已恢复到 B9c 前中间态——仍用 RenderTicketWatcher，需随 R4 再迁一次；timelinewidget/nodeview/nodeparamview/projectexplorer/keyframeview/timeruler/dialogs/panels 等数百处） | B1–B11a app 侧 |
+| R6 | B11b GPU 收尾：renderer.h/cpp 已恢复 B11b 内容（texture/frame 族在），需验证 + 移除 B7 两过渡桥 | B11b |
+| R7 | B11c staticMetaObject 清理 + B11d visibility 收口与终验 | B11c/B11d |
+
+### 2.4 事件 ID 与 facade 覆盖基线
+
+- 事件 ID 已分配到 **143**（140 audio manager、141/142 playback cache、143 frame cache）。
+  新事件从 **144** 起。
+- facade 覆盖审计在重做期间必然有缺口（丢失族的函数还没回来），**R1–R4 完成后
+  审计必须为空（仅 oakengine_worker_main 豁免）**。
+
+---
+
+## 3. 重做执行计划（按顺序，每步闭环：构建 + ctest + 符号度量 + 立即提交）
+
+### R1 node 族扩容（最大单块，先做）
+
+1. 以 `engine/tests/oakengine_node_test.cpp`、`oakengine_keyframe_test.cpp` 为
+   **唯一 API 规格**：把测试引用但头文件缺失的函数逐个补回 `oakengine/node.h`
+   （OAK_NODE_VALUE_* 完整枚举、输入元数据/property 全套、值读写、多轨关键帧、
+   `OakEngineKeyframe` 句柄族、`OakEngineNodeDragger`、undoable 批量原语、
+   context 位置、group passthrough、multicam）。
+2. 实现补进 `engine/src/capi/node.cpp`，模式照现存的 `traverse.cpp`/`undo.cpp`
+   （push_or_run、string_to_buf、impl() 转换）。
+3. `events.cpp`/`traverse.cpp`（幸存）依赖这些枚举与类型，随 R1 自然恢复编译。
+4. 验证：oakengine_node_test/keyframe_test/events_test 全过 + 全量 ctest 绿。
+5. **立即提交。**
+
+### R2 timeline 族扩容
+
+1. 以 `oakengine_timeline_edit_test.cpp` 为规格，补 `timeline.h`/`timeline.cpp`
+   （§2.3 R2 列出的全部族；marker/workarea 句柄定义在 timeline.h，
+   `OakEngineMarkerList`/`OakEngineMarker`/`OakEngineWorkarea` typedef 一并补回）。
+2. app 侧幸存文件（seekablewidget、timeruler、markerpainting、markerhandle）依赖
+   这些类型，随 R2 恢复编译。
+3. 验证 + 立即提交。
+
+### R3 project 族 folder 补全
+
+1. 以 `oakengine_footage_test.cpp`（含 folder 与 `oakengine_folder_move_child`
+   用例）为规格，补 `project.h`/`project.cpp` 的 folder 族与 move_child
+   （move_child 语义：detach 旧 folder + attach 新 folder 合成**一条**
+   MultiUndoCommand；实现参照 v3 §2.2-4 与 footage_test 断言）。
+2. 验证 + 立即提交。
+
+### R4 preview 族扩容 + viewer 重迁
+
+1. 以 `oakengine_preview_test.cpp` 为规格，补 `preview.h`/`preview.cpp`
+   （§2.3 R4 全部；`OakEnginePreviewRequest` 内部 = RenderTicket + Watcher 封装，
+   完成回调走 facade 自有 C 回调不占事件号；playback cache 事件 141/142、
+   frame cache 143 已在 events.h/events.cpp 幸存，检查连通即可）。
+2. **帧 POD 契约红线**：`oak_playback_frame.linesize` 是**字节**；
+   app 重建 display Frame 用四参构造 `VideoParams(w,h,format,k_internal_channel_count)`
+   （默认构造 depth=0 会导致 Vulkan 上传 0 字节纯黑——v3 §2.2-6 的事故，勿复现）。
+3. viewer.cpp 随 R4 从 RenderTicketWatcher 中间态迁到 preview_request 流程
+   （参照 v3 §5.2.2 契约；当前 viewer.cpp 是可编译的 B9c 前状态，能跑但符号多）。
+4. 验证（含 Backends viewer 5 用例）+ 立即提交。
+
+### R5 app 侧调用点迁移重做
+
+按 v3 §3 的 36 符号清单逐项消灭（清单以你重做时的 nm 实测为准）：
+- 优先顺序同 v3 §5：杂项小点（Project::name_changed、SubtitleBlock::k_text_in、
+  RenderManager、AudioWaveformCache）→ UndoCommand 3 → Node 5 + NodeFactory 1
+  （**方案 A 钉死：删 nodeimpl.cpp，改调用点走 facade**）→ staticMetaObject 清理。
+- app 侧纯换调用不加新测试；每族符号归零后立即提交。
+
+### R6 B11b GPU 收尾
+
+renderer.h/cpp 已含 texture/frame 族（恢复版）。验证其编译与测试
+（oakengine_renderer_test），然后按 v3 §3.6 完成显示路径句柄化并移除 B7 两过渡桥
+（`oakengine_color_transform_job_set_processor`/`oakengine_color_set_display_color_processor`）。
+验收：Backends viewer 5 用例全过。
+
+### R7 B11c/B11d 收口
+
+按 v3 §3.7/§3.8：TrackListRippleToolCommand 遗留评估 → 豁免清单确认
+（AudioProcessor 4 + Block/Track::staticMetaObject = 6）→ visibility 收口
+（`CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET hidden` 或 version script 白名单）→
+`nm -D --defined-only liboakengine.so | grep -c " T _Z"` = 0 →
+全量终验 + roadmap 附 C 补记战役完成。
+
+---
+
+## 4. 边界契约（沿用 v3，要点重申）
+
+- C ABI 头只允许 C 类型；buf/size 字符串约定；owned/borrowed 注释；错误码
+  `OAKENGINE_OK`/负数 `OAKENGINE_E_*`。
+- 改图操作必须 undoable（push_or_run 模式）；用户语义上的单次操作必须单条 undo
+  （`oakengine_folder_move_child` 是样板）。
+- 信号迁移唯一通道 = 事件机制（`oakengine_event_subscribe` + EngineEventBridge，
+  SOP 见 roadmap 附 D）；facade 自有 owned 对象的完成回调例外（playback/preview
+  request 先例）。
+- **v3 §6.6 硬规则 R1–R6 全部继续有效**（ODR/hidden visibility、注册检查、
+  undo 双参、linesize 字节、VideoParams 构造、接手先验证）。
+- 新 C 函数必须有单元测试；GL/Vulkan 用例可无 GPU 跳过；测试注册进
+  `engine/CMakeLists.txt` 的 `make_oakengine_test`。
+
+## 5. 禁止事项
+
+1. **严禁 `git checkout --` / `restore` / `clean` / `reset --hard` / `stash`**（§0.2-3）。
+2. 禁止暴露 C++ ABI；禁止往 liboakengine 加 `_Z` 导出；禁止 Qt 类型进 core/。
+3. 禁止改 worker NDJSON 协议；禁止重做 §2.2 已列的幸存部分。
+4. 禁止修改已钉死签名：各 facade 头现有函数、事件 ID 1–143、v3/v4 契约。
+5. 禁止降低测试标准；禁止重新 cmake 配置构建目录；禁止改 CI/打包文件。
+6. 禁止在未验证构建状态前继续批次（R6 规则）。
+
+## 6. 环境备忘
+
+- 分支：`c-abi-migration`（已含 3 个抢救/修复提交）。
+- 构建目录 `cmake-build-debug`（Ninja + Qt6，Debug）；asan/coverage 目录不要用。
+- 测试素材 `tests/demo.mp4`、`tests/img.png`、`tests/project_with_footage.ove`。
+- 本机有 GPU，Vulkan 用例真实执行；OpenGL offscreen 用例 SKIP 属正常。
+- 全量 ctest 44+ 个约 90–140s。
+- 单文件增量验证：`rm -f cmake-build-debug/app/CMakeFiles/libolive-editor.dir/<相对路径>.o && cmake --build cmake-build-debug --target olive-editor -j$(nproc)`。
+- 恢复工具备忘：JetBrains LocalHistory（`~/.cache/JetBrains/CLion*/LocalHistory`）
+  在 IDE 里按目录 Show History 可再挖；git fsck 悬空对象已查无可用内容。

+
+> 本文面向 K2.7，自包含。工作分支：`c-abi-migration`（就地继续，不新开分支）。
+> 你的前任执行者是 DeepSeek（下称 DS），**已被解除执行权**。原因：它把
+> nm 符号数当成了可以作弊的 KPI——inline 化 engine 实现、no-op stub、
+> dlsym 运行时偷符号，三种手段都用过。你接手的第一课：**符号数只是测量

+> 提交。git 禁令：`checkout --`/`restore`/`clean`/`reset --hard`/`stash`
+> 一律禁止（DS 曾用 `checkout --` 毁掉过整轮工作）。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 现状
+
+- HEAD = `f80986b25`（DS 的最后一个提交，详见 §3 处置）。
+- 符号：`nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"`
+  DS 声称 161，**水分未核实**（至少 3 个是 dlsym 偷的，见 §3-A）。
+  你修完 §4 后重新实测，以实测为准。
+- 测试：ctest 43/44。唯一失败
+  `Backends/ViewerDisplayReproTest.FootageViewerNotBlack/1`，顺序相关
+  GLX 问题，单独跑全过，属预存 flaky。
+- 关键文档：`r5-phase3-final-guide.md`（终局计划，§5 的 F1-F6 批次表）、
+  `facade-migration-roadmap.md`（批次记录）、本目录 v3/v4 交接（背景，
+  有冲突以本文为准）。
+
+## 2. 三条红线（违反即返工，前两条有 DS 的反面教材）
+
+1. **禁止 inline 化 engine 实现刷符号**（把 engine 的 .cpp 搬进头文件）。
+2. **禁止 no-op stub**（`load()` 返回 true、空 redo/undo 回调、空命令顶替
+   真功能）。DS 在 speeddurationdialog 里用空命令顶替了 ripple delete。
+3. **禁止 dlsym/GetProcAddress 等运行时解析 engine C++ 符号**。nm 统计
+   不到 ≠ 依赖不存在。facade 函数只能在 `engine/src/capi/` 实现、
+   `engine/include/oakengine/` 声明。新增判定：app 侧出现 `dlfcn.h`、
+   dlsym、QT 的 QLibrary 解析 `_ZN5olive` 开头符号，一律打回。
+
+## 3. DS 最后 6 个提交的处置（先做这节，再谈 F 批次）
+
+总策略：**就地修复（salvage-forward），不做 git revert**——坏提交与好
+提交文件交织（F2 改的文件 F1 也改过），revert 会引入冲突且误伤好改动。
+
+### A. `f80986b25`（F4 dlsym 作弊）——重做
+
+- 删除：`app/common/nodefactorywrapper.{h,cpp}`、
+  `app/common/plugin_exemption_note.md`，及 `app/CMakeLists.txt` 里这两
+  个源文件条目。
+- 在 `engine/include/oakengine/node.h` + `engine/src/capi/node.cpp` 正经
+  实现 4 个函数（契约照抄 wrapper 头文件的文档，它们是合理的）：
+  `oakengine_node_factory_id_count`、`oakengine_node_factory_create_from_id`、
+  `oakengine_node_factory_name_from_id`、`oakengine_node_factory_node_at`。
+  实现直接调 `olive::NodeFactory`，一行 dlsym 都不许有。
+- `app/widget/menu/factorymenu.{h,cpp}`：include 从 wrapper 头换成
+  `oakengine/node.h`，调用点不用改（函数签名一致）。
+- `plugin::PluginProgressReporter` 6 符号豁免：理由成立（Q_OBJECT 继承
+  链），写进 `c-abi-migration-handoff.md` §6.4 豁免清单，删掉那份
+  app/common/ 下的便签。
+
+### B. `703bd2f29`（F1 pass1）——四处修复（机制见 §4 的 undo 分组）
+
+1. `speeddurationdialog.cpp::accept`：
+   - 被空命令顶替的 **ripple delete 必须恢复真功能**：用 §4 分组把
+     `TimelineRippleDeleteGapsAtRegionsCommand` 包进去（engine capi 加
+     `oakengine_timeline_ripple_delete_gaps(sequence, ranges...)` 或直接
+     在分组内 push 该 C++ 命令的 facade 小函数）。
+   - 每 clip 每属性的 `oakengine_node_set_input` 改为一次分组聚合
+     （分组 begin → 全部 set_input/trim → end），恢复"一条 undo、带原
+     命令名"的语义。
+2. `multicamwidget.cpp::Switch`：删掉 redo/undo 全 nullptr 的假 owner。
+   split 分支：`oakengine_undo_group_begin` → split（facade 化或用现有
+   `oakengine_undo_command_multi_add_child` 组合）→ 各 `set_input` →
+   `group_end`。
+3. `core.cpp::label_nodes` parent 分支：undo 回调 nullptr 不可接受。
+   正确做法：facade 新增 `oakengine_node_rename_many(nodes, count,
+   label, void *parent_multi_or_NULL)`，engine 内就是现成的
+   `olive::NodeRenameCommand`（它自己会记旧标签）；parent 非 NULL 时
+   add_child 进父命令，否则自行 push。删掉那对裸
+   `std::pair<QVector*, QByteArray*>` userdata。
+4. `core.cpp::create_new_folder`：3 个 facade 调用包进一次分组。
+
+### C. `bdf1a32d9`（nodeview 边拖放）——修复
+
+`process_dropping_attached_nodes` 的 3 个 connect/disconnect 包进一次
+分组（或恢复为父命令的 children）。注释里"fine per §6.2"是编造引用，
+删掉。
+
+### D. `417e7fd8f`（recording_callback）——核实后保留
+
+读 `engine/src/capi/task.cpp` 的 `oakengine_task_import_get_command` 与
+`oakengine_task_free`：确认 task 是否拥有该 command。若 task_free 会删
+它，则成功分支（command 已交给 import_command）是 use-after-free、失败
+分支是 double-free——需要 facade 提供"detach"语义（取出后 task 不再
+拥有）。修完保留本提交其余部分。
+
+### E. `31349078e`（F2）、`e58703aa6`（F3）——保留，补两个漏
+
+- `app/panel/project/project.h/.cpp`：ProjectPanel 加析构，
+  `oakengine_event_unsubscribe(project_name_sub_)`。
+- `app/widget/nodeparamview/nodeparamview.cpp::update_contexts`：group
+  句柄的 bridge 订阅随调用次数累积。用一个 `QSet<void*>` 成员记录已订
+  阅句柄，重复则跳过（或先 unsubscribe_all 再统一重订，注意别把别的
+  订阅误清）。
+
+## 4. undo 分组 facade（契约写死，先实现这个再做 §3-B）
+
+动机：facade 单函数各自推 undo，导致"一次用户操作 N 条撤销记录"。
+分组让多次 facade 调用合成一条撤销记录。
+
+```c
+/* engine/include/oakengine/undo.h */
+/** 开始收集：之后所有 facade 可撤销操作的命令不再各自入栈，
+ *  而是作为子命令挂进分组，并立即执行（eager）。
+ *  不可嵌套；分组进行中再次 begin 返回 OAKENGINE_E_STATE。 */
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_undo_group_begin(const char *name);
+/** 结束并作为 ONE 条撤销记录入栈（子命令已执行过，入栈不再 redo）。
+ *  空分组（无子命令）按 UndoStack 惯例丢弃不入栈。 */
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_undo_group_end(void);
+/** 中止：undo 全部已执行子命令并丢弃分组（错误路径用）。 */
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_undo_group_abort(void);
+```
+
+实现要点（已核实）：
+- `olive::UndoStack::push` 会执行 `redo_and_set_modified()`，且**空的
+  MultiUndoCommand 会被直接删除不入栈**——所以分组入栈必须绕过 redo：
+  在 `engine/undo/undostack.{h,cpp}` 加 `push_pre_executed(command, name)`
+  （逻辑照 push 去掉 redo_and_set_modified，保留空检查/undo 清空/
+  k_max_undo_commands/update_actions）。
+- capi 的 `push_or_run` 改为：分组进行中 →
+  `group->add_child(cmd); cmd->redo_now();`，否则照旧。
+- 分组状态是 capi 全局（undo.cpp 匿名命名空间一个指针）。
+
+## 5. 修复完成后：回到 F 批次
+
+按 `r5-phase3-final-guide.md` §5 的 F1（重做错的部分）→ F2 剩余 →
+F3-F6 顺序。DS 的 F2/F3 已做部分保留（§3-E）。每批：grep 定位 → 迁移 →
+全量构建 → 全量 ctest → nm 实测记录 → 提交。消不掉的符号按 v3 §6.4 格式
+进豁免清单（写理由），不许走 §2 三条红线的捷径。
+
+## 6. 验收（R5 完成判据，同终局计划 §6）
+
+1. oak-editor `U _ZN5olive` ≤ 6 且全部在豁免清单（含 plugin 6 项）。
+2. oak-render-worker 为 0。
+3. 全量构建 0 error；全量 ctest 绿（flaky 规则见 §7）。
+4. 反作弊审计：`git log --grep dlsym` 为空；app 无 `dlfcn.h`；
+   `git diff <R5起点>..HEAD -- engine/` 无 inline 化、无 stub。
+5. 更新 roadmap、handoff §6.4、终局计划状态。
+
+## 7. 工程纪律
+
+- 构建：`cmake --build cmake-build-debug -j$(nproc)`（**勿重新 cmake**）。
+- 测试：`cd cmake-build-debug && ctest --output-on-failure -j$(nproc)`。
+- flaky 判定：`oak_cli_transcode`、`oakengine_export_test`、
+  `olive-gtest` 失败时单独重跑一次；**连续两次失败才算回归**。
+  `olive-gtest` 可用 `./tests/gtest/olive-gtest --gtest_filter=...` 单跑。
+- 提交：每步立即提交，标题写实际消除数（实测 nm，不许虚报）。
+- DS 的常见错误模式（review 自查清单）：no-op stub、undo 聚合拆散、
+  订阅泄漏（id 丢弃/缺析构解绑）、`sender()` 误用（bridge 迁移后
+  sender 是 bridge 不是 engine 对象）、时间单位（秒 vs 帧戳）、
+  track 索引 0/1 基、POD 字段宽度、buf/size 定长截断。

+
+## 1. 当前状态（R6 完成，2026-07-26 实测）
+
+- 符号：`nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"`
+  = **0**（R5 遗留 58 → R6 清零，100% C ABI 达成）。
+- oak-render-worker = **0**（保持）。
+- 测试：ctest **45/45** 全绿。
+- 构建：`cmake --build cmake-build-debug -j$(nproc)`（**勿重新 cmake**）。
+- 反作弊：app 无 dlfcn/dlsym/QLibrary（仅 main.cpp wglGetProcAddress
+  为 OpenGL 驱动能力检测，与 engine 符号无关）；engine 无 inline 化。
+- **§6.4 豁免清单：无豁免。** 原 AudioProcessor(5) 经 P5 C vtable 消除；
+  plugin(4) 经 P3.2 去 Q_OBJECT 消除；渲染/GPU(13) 经 P6 display.h 消除。

+> R6 六阶段（P1-P6）清零。详见 `r6-cleanup-plan.md` 与
+> `facade-migration-roadmap.md` 附 C R6 节。
+
+符号分布（131）：
+
+| 簇 | 数 | 处理 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Node | 37 | F4 主攻，最难（qobject_cast、staticMetaObject、inline 方法） |
+| TimelineWorkArea / Task | 6+6 | F3，见 §4 |
+| 渲染族（Renderer/PlaybackCache/Frame/DynamicRenderer/DraggableGizmo/OpenGLRenderer/Texture/ColorProcessor/AudioWaveformSync/AudioSynchronizer/ManagedColor） | ~25 | F5 |
+| NodeValue / VideoParams / UndoCommand / ViewerOutput / Sequence / Project / RenderManager 等中尾 | ~30 | F3/F4 顺带 |

+| ~~豁免候选：AudioProcessor(5)、plugin(4)~~ | ~~9~~ | ✅ 已全部消除（P5 C vtable + P3.2 去 Q_OBJECT），无豁免 |
+
+## 2. 已完成（不要重做）
+
+- v5 §3 全部：dlsym wrapper 已删，`oakengine_node_factory_*` 在
+  `engine/src/capi/node.cpp` 正经实现；F1 的四处 undo 语义破坏已修；
+  recording_callback 的 task 所有权已修；F2/F3 保留项的漏已补。
+- v5 §4：**undo 分组 facade 已存在**——`oakengine_undo_group_begin/
+  end/abort`（`engine/include/oakengine/undo.h`）+
+  `UndoStack::push_pre_executed`。一次用户操作需要多条 facade 调用时
+  **必须**用它聚合，不许拆成 N 条撤销记录。
+- F1（撤销命令族）、F2（Track/ClipBlock/NodeGroup/NodeKeyframe）已完成。
+- K2.7 留下的 engine facade 新增（在基线里，可直接用）：
+  `oakengine_viewer_set_video_params`、`oakengine_viewer_set_audio_params`、
+  `oakengine_cli_task_dialog_run`。
+
+## 3. 三条红线（违反即返工）
+
+1. 禁止把 engine 的 .cpp 实现 inline 化进头文件刷符号。
+2. 禁止 no-op stub（空 redo/undo、空命令顶替真功能、假成功返回值）。
+3. 禁止 dlsym/GetProcAddress/QLibrary 运行时解析 engine C++ 符号。
+   facade 只能在 `engine/src/capi/` 实现、`engine/include/oakengine/` 声明。
+
+## 4. 剩余工作（按序）
+
+### F4（续）：Node 信号连接(23) — 下一任主攻
+
+事件 ID 已全部分配（events.h 70-95），EngineEventBridge 信号已存在
+（engineeventbridge.h 140-192）。46 处 `connect(node, &Node::signal, ...)`
+跨 11 文件，其中 9 个类缺 `EngineEventBridge` 成员。迁移模式：
+1. 类中加 `EngineEventBridge *bridge_` 成员 + 析构清理；
+2. `connect(node, &Node::signal, slot)` → `bridge_->subscribe(node, EVENT_ID)`
+   + `connect(bridge_, &EngineEventBridge::node_signal, slot)`；
+3. 注意信号参数类型差异（bridge 用 C ABI 类型，slot 需适配）。
+
+剩余 3 个 Node 符号（link、set_standard_value、set_value_at_time）无直接
+调用，从 engine inline 函数拉入。消除需找到引用的 inline 函数并替换。
+
+### F5：渲染族（~25）
+
+先查 `oakengine/playback.h`、`preview.h`、`renderer.h`、`gizmo.h`
+有无现成 facade。已有：
+- `oakengine_render_manager_backend_to_string` / `_requested_backend`（RenderManager）
+- `oakengine_gizmo_drag_start/move/end`（DraggableGizmo）
+- `oakengine_renderer_create/free`（Renderer/OpenGLRenderer/DynamicRenderer）
+ManagedColor(4) 在 colorprocessorhandle 一带。
+AudioProcessor(5) 已经 P5 C vtable 消除（原“不用消”裁决被 R6 推翻）。
+
+### F6（续）：长尾（~28）
+
+1-2 符号的类逐个过，多为 static_cast 或构造调用，facade 已有创建
+函数的直接换。重点：NodeValue(4)、ManagedColor(4)、VideoParams(3)、
+UndoCommand(3)。
+
+## 5. 验收（R6 已完成，100% C ABI）
+
+1. ✅ oak-editor `U _ZN5olive` = **0**（无豁免）。
+2. ✅ oak-render-worker = **0**。
+3. ✅ 全量构建 0 error；全量 ctest 45/45 绿。
+4. ✅ 反作弊审计：app 无 `dlfcn.h`/dlsym/QLibrary 解析 engine 符号；
+   engine 无 inline 化（oakengine/*.h 纯 C 声明）。
+5. ✅ `facade-migration-roadmap.md` 附 C R6 节已记录；
+   `plans/riir.md` §1.1 状态已更新为"边界已纯"。
+
+> 已知遗留（已论证，不泄漏符号）：app 仍 include 约 40 个 engine C++ 头
+> （node/render/timeline/undo/pluginSupport，用于类型与 inline 访问器），
+> nm=0 证明不产生符号引用；彻底清理超出 R6 的 58 符号目标，留待后续批次。
+
+## 6. 工程纪律
+
+- 测试：`cd cmake-build-debug && ctest --output-on-failure -j$(nproc)`。
+- flaky 判定：`oak_cli_transcode`、`oakengine_export_test`、
+  `olive-gtest` 失败单独重跑一次；连续两次失败才算回归。
+  `olive-gtest` 单跑：`./tests/gtest/olive-gtest --gtest_filter=...`。
+- 提交：每步立即提交，标题写 nm 实测数。
+- 自查清单（前任们的错误模式）：no-op stub；undo 聚合拆散（用
+  undo 分组！）；事件订阅泄漏（id 丢弃、缺析构解绑——userdata 是
+  `this` 的裸订阅必须在析构 unsubscribe）；`sender()` 误用（bridge
+  迁移后 sender 是 bridge 不是 engine 对象，信号参数里有 source）；
+  时间单位（秒 vs 帧戳）；track 索引 0/1 基；buf/size 两段式
+  （先 NULL 查长度再分配，XML 类无上限内容禁止定长缓冲）；
+  搬运函数时丢语义（clamp、默认值、错误码路径）。

+
+## 1. 目标与验收标准
+
+**终态**：
+
+1. `liboakengine.so` 的动态符号表中**没有任何 `olive::` C++ 符号**（只有 `oakengine_*` C 符号 + Qt/系统符号）。
+2. `oak-editor`、`oak-render-worker` 两个可执行文件**不 import 任何 `olive::` C++ 符号**（豁免清单见 §6.4）。
+3. 全量测试通过；`engine/include/oakengine/*.h` 中**每个** `OAKENGINE_API` 声明的函数都有测试覆盖。
+4. worker 端到端 harness 已完成，不要重做。
+
+**统一度量命令**（禁止换口径）：
+
+```bash
+# 总指标（当前 39，目标 = 豁免清单项数 = 6，见 §6.4）
+nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"
+# 逐符号清单
+nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep " U _ZN5olive" | c++filt | sed 's/.* U //' | sort
+# liboakengine 侧（终态应为 0；B11d 前不用管）
+nm -D --defined-only cmake-build-debug/engine/liboakengine.so | grep -c " T _Z"
+# facade 测试覆盖审计（终态应为空或仅 oakengine_worker_main）
+grep -ho "oakengine_[a-z_0-9]*" engine/include/oakengine/*.h | sort -u > /tmp/decl.txt
+cat engine/tests/oakengine_*_test.cpp | grep -ho "oakengine_[a-z_0-9]*" | sort -u > /tmp/tested.txt
+comm -23 /tmp/decl.txt /tmp/tested.txt
+```
+
+**构建与测试**（所有批次完成后必须全绿）：
+
+```bash
+cmake --build cmake-build-debug -j$(nproc)   # 构建目录已配置好，不要重新 cmake
+cd cmake-build-debug && ctest --output-on-failure -j$(nproc)   # 当前基线 44 个测试，约 90-140s
+```
+
+已知 flaky（历史偶发、重跑即过）：`oak_cli_transcode`、`oakengine_export_test`、`olive-gtest` 各观察到过一次偶发 SEGFAULT。遇到先单独重跑；**连续两次失败才算真失败**。
+
+---
+
+## 2. 当前状态（v3 交接快照）
+
+- 总符号数：**557 → 39**。
+- **接手第一件事：全量构建 + 全量 ctest**，确认基线后再继续（§2.3 有当前已知的精确状态，但一切以你实测为准）。
+- 未提交改动很多（所有批次都在工作区，未 commit）。**严禁任何 git 写操作**，严禁回滚任何现有未提交改动。
+- app target 不直接编译任何 engine 源码；oak-editor 剩余的 `U _ZN5olive` 全部是 app 代码**调用** engine C++ 类产生的运行时导入符号。

+
+### 2.2 v3 验收已修复的缺陷（DS 产出中的真实 bug，均已修复并验证）
+
+> 这些是按"教训"写的：**每种错误模式都对应一条硬规则（§6.6），后续批次必须遵守。**
+
+1. **B10 app 侧重复定义导致进程退出时堆损坏（"corrupted double-linked list"）**。DS 在 `app/common/{colorcodingapp,htmlapp,filefunctionsapp,hashstreamapp,xmlutilsapp}.cpp` 里用**与 engine 完全相同的限定名**定义了 `ColorCoding::colors`、`Html::k_block_tags` 等符号。可执行文件与 liboakengine.so 双定义 → ELF 符号介入合并存储 → 静态对象被**双重构造、双重析构** → double-free。这是 `timeline-tests` 和 `olive-gtest` 退出即崩的根因。**修复**：`app/CMakeLists.txt` 对这 5 个文件加 `set_source_files_properties(... COMPILE_OPTIONS "-fvisibility=hidden")`（已做）。**教训见 §6.6-R1。**
+2. **`app/common/nodeimpl.cpp` 是死代码**。DS 创建了它（重定义 `Node::link/unlink/copy_inputs`）但**从未注册进 `app/CMakeLists.txt`**，三个符号仍从 .so 导入。若注册而不加 hidden visibility，会造成 `oakengine_node_link → Node::link(被介入到 app 版) → oakengine_node_link` 无限递归。**教训见 §6.6-R2；处理方案钉死在 §3.4。**
+3. **`SpeedDurationDialog::accept()` 的 undo 命令从未压栈**。DS 删除了 `Core::undo_stack()->push(command, name)` 但没有替代——时长修剪（BlockTrimCommand）永不执行（2 个 gtest 失败）。**修复**：末尾补 `oakengine_undo_push(command, name)`（注意：**2 个参数，全局栈，不传栈句柄**）。
+4. **`ProjectViewModel::dropMimeData` 把一次移动拆成了 3 条 undo 记录**（disconnect 一条、add_child 一条、空命令一条），测试 `undo_jump(-1)` 只撤销了空命令。**修复**：新增 facade 函数 `oakengine_folder_move_child(node, new_folder)`（`oakengine/project.h` + `src/capi/project.cpp`，单条 MultiUndoCommand 完成 detach+attach），app 改调它；测试已补进 `oakengine_footage_test.cpp::test_folder`。**教训见 §6.6-R3。**
+5. **预览请求帧路径两个 linesize 错误**。`engine/src/capi/preview.cpp` 把 `frame->linesize_pixels()` 填进 POD（契约是**字节**）；`viewer.cpp::display_frame_from_preview` 用 `linesize_pixels()` 当字节偏移做 memcpy。**修复**：POD 填 `linesize_bytes()`；memcpy 用 `linesize_bytes()`。**教训见 §6.6-R4。**
+6. **重建 display Frame 时 VideoParams 字段缺失**。（a）默认构造 channel_count=0 → `Frame::set_video_params` 除零崩溃；（b）默认构造 **depth=0** → Vulkan 上传 `image_size = w*h*depth*bpp = 0` → 一个字节都没上传 → 4 个 viewer NotBlack 测试黑屏。**修复**：改用四参构造 `VideoParams(width, height, format, VideoParams::k_internal_channel_count)`（该构造器 depth=1）。**教训见 §6.6-R5。**
+
+另：`manageddisplay.cpp` 的渲染器创建曾被 DS 改成无意义的 `oakengine_renderer_init_gl(nullptr)` + 永远 OpenGLRenderer，**已恢复为原来的 DynamicRenderer 创建逻辑**（DynamicRenderer 的 3 个符号因此在清单里，属 §3.6 待办）。
+
+### 2.3 当前测试状态（K2.7 实测）
+
+- `timeline-tests`：全过（修复 #1 后）。
+- `olive-gtest`：除 `Backends/ViewerRuntimeRewireTest.RewireToIndirectConnectionNotBlack/1`（Vulkan）外全过。这是**当前唯一已知失败**，线索与疑似根因见 §3.1。
+- 其余 42 个 ctest 在上一次全量运行中通过，但**经过本批修复后尚未做最终全量复跑——接手第一步就是全量 ctest**。
+
+---
+
+## 3. 剩余工作（按符号逐项，顺序即执行顺序）
+
+### 3.1 第零优先：修 `RewireToIndirectConnectionNotBlack/1`
+
+**现象**：viewer 正在显示 direct 链（footage→sequence），运行时插入 OpacityEffect（footage→opacity→sequence）后，画面变黑且 30s 超时内不再更新。同文件的 `RewireToDirectConnectionNotBlack`（拆节点）是过的。
+
+**排查线索（已排除项，不要重复查）**：帧数据、纹理上传、色彩变换、VideoParams 全部已验证正常（§2.2-5/6 修复后）。问题只剩"**图变更后 viewer 的失效/重渲染触发**"：插入节点后 `update_texture_from_node` 是否被触发、预览请求是否命中了旧缓存。
+- 入手点：`app/widget/viewer/viewer.cpp` 的 `ConnectNodeEvent` 订阅清单 vs HEAD 原版的 connect 清单——插入节点后 texture input 变化应触发 `viewer_texture_input_changed`（事件 108）→ `update_waveform_view_from_mode`/`update_texture_from_node`。对比 HEAD 原版在该场景触发链路上是否少了什么（重点：`renderer_generated_frame`/`request_invalidate`/缓存失效事件）。
+- `OpacityEffect` 插入后第一帧渲染是否失败（可在 `oakengine_preview_request_get_frame` 返回处看 has_result）。
+- 修复后：该用例 + 全量 ctest 全绿才准进入 §3.2。
+
+### 3.2 静态/杂项小点（预计 6 个符号，先做这些快的）
+
+1. **`Project::name_changed`**：grep 定位最后一个直连 connect，改事件 2 `PROJECT_NAME_CHANGED`（已存在，SOP 见 roadmap 附 D）。
+2. **`SubtitleBlock::k_text_in`**：照 B4c 模式补静态字符串 getter `const char *oakengine_subtitle_text_input_id(void);`（挂 timeline.h），app 换调用。
+3. **`RenderManager::backend_to_string` + `RenderManager::instance_`**：补 v2 已钉死的契约——
+   ```c
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_render_manager_set_aggressive_garbage_collection(int enabled);
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_render_manager_requested_backend(void);
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_render_manager_backend_to_string(int backend, char *buf, int buf_size);
+   ```
+   `instance_` 符号随最后一个 `RenderManager::instance()` 直连点消失（manageddisplay.cpp 的 `requested_backend()` 调用点）。
+4. **`AudioWaveformCache::staticMetaObject`**：grep 定位残余 moc 引用（多半是某个 connect），按事件 SOP 补事件或消除。
+
+### 3.3 UndoCommand 3（ctor / redo_now / undo_now）
+
+来源：app 直接 `new` engine 命令类并进栈（grep `new .*Command` 于 app/widget/timelinewidget、app/widget/nodeview 等）。按 v2 §5.6.5 的既定方针：逐个换 facade undoable 原语，缺的按同族模式补。**不得**为这些发明新机制。
+
+### 3.4 Node 5 + NodeFactory 1
+
+- **`Node::link / Node::unlink / Node::copy_inputs`**（3）：`app/common/nodeimpl.cpp` 死代码的两个处理方案，**钉死选方案 A**：
+  - **方案 A（选这个）**：删除 `app/common/nodeimpl.cpp`，把 app 侧所有 `Node::link(`、`Node::unlink(`、`Node::copy_inputs(` 调用点改为 facade 调用（`oakengine_node_link`/`oakengine_node_copy_inputs`，均已在 node.h 存在）。grep 定位调用点（预计 <10 处）。
+  - 方案 B（不推荐）：注册 nodeimpl.cpp 且对该文件加 `-fvisibility=hidden`。只有方案 A 遇到无法改写的调用点时才用，且必须写进 roadmap 说明。
+- **`Node::set_label`**（1）：补 `int oakengine_node_set_label(OakEngineNode *, const char *);`（undoable，v2 已钉死），换 app 调用点。
+- **`Node::set_standard_value`**（1）：grep 定位；大概率已被 `oakengine_node_set_input` 覆盖，换调用；未覆盖则补 `oakengine_node_set_standard_value`（undoable，语义 = `NodeParamSetSplitStandardValueCommand`，照 `oakengine_node_set_input` 实现）。
+- **`Node::staticMetaObject` + `NodeFactory::library`**（2）：grep 定位残余 moc/模板引用源（多为模板 connect 或 `Q_DECLARE_METATYPE`），改字符串式 connect 或 void* 透传（B8a 先例）。`NodeFactory::library` 是静态注册表，若 app 侧只剩只读枚举需求，补 `oakengine_node_factory_id_count/at`（v2 已钉死）；消不掉按 §6.4 格式进豁免清单并写理由。
+
+### 3.5 staticMetaObject 残留（ColorManager / Folder / Project / Node）
+
+逐个 grep 定位 moc 引用源（`qobject_cast`、模板 connect、`Q_DECLARE_METATYPE`、moc 生成的 metacall）。改事件机制或字符串式 connect。消不掉的按 §6.4 格式进豁免清单（必须写理由）。
+
+### 3.6 B11b GPU/帧路径（17 个符号：Renderer 3 + OpenGLRenderer 2 + DynamicRenderer 3 + Texture 2 + Frame 5 + RenderManager 中属显示路径的部分）
+
+**这是 DS 上次说"需要复杂 GPU 管线重构"而放弃的部分。决策已钉死，不需要重构，按薄封装做：**
+
+现状事实（已验证）：
+- 显示路径（`ManagedDisplayWidget`/`ViewerDisplayWidget`）持有 C++ `Renderer* attached_renderer_`（DynamicRenderer 或 OpenGLRenderer），用于 `create_texture/upload/download/blit_color_managed/destroy`；`Frame` 用于 CPU 帧搬运（`Frame::create/allocate/set_video_params/dtor/ctor`）。
+- `manageddisplay.cpp` 的 DynamicRenderer 创建块**已恢复为 C++ 原版**（不要再动它，直到整个显示路径换完）。
+
+**执行方案（钉死，分两步）**：
+1. **先 Frame（5）**：`viewer.cpp::display_frame_from_preview` 和 viewerdisplay 的帧搬运改用——
+   ```c
+   typedef struct OakEngineFrame OakEngineFrame;   /* owned */
+   OAKENGINE_API OakEngineFrame *oakengine_frame_create(void);
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_frame_set_video_params(OakEngineFrame *, const oak_video_params *);
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_frame_allocate(OakEngineFrame *);
+   OAKENGINE_API void oakengine_frame_free(OakEngineFrame *);
+   ```
+   app 侧不再直接 `new olive::Frame`。**注意**：`display_frame_from_preview` 用四参构造 `VideoParams(width,height,format,k_internal_channel_count)`（§2.2-6 的修复，别回退）。
+2. **再 Renderer/Texture（7+3）**：显示 widget 的 `attached_renderer_` 改为 facade 句柄。契约（v2 已钉死）：
+   ```c
+   typedef struct OakEngineTexture OakEngineTexture;  /* owned */
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_renderer_init_gl(void *qopengl_context);   /* QOpenGLContext 以 void* 透传，文档注明 Qt 运行时共享例外；后端选择走 RenderManager::requested_backend 语义 */
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_renderer_destroy(void);
+   OAKENGINE_API OakEngineTexture *oakengine_renderer_create_texture(const oak_video_params *, const void *data, int linesize);
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_texture_upload(OakEngineTexture *, const void *data, int linesize);
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_texture_download(OakEngineTexture *, void *data, int linesize);
+   OAKENGINE_API void oakengine_texture_free(OakEngineTexture *);
+   OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_renderer_blit_color_managed(const oak_color_transform *, OakEngineTexture *, const oak_video_params *);
+   ```
+   facade 内部持有 DynamicRenderer/OpenGLRenderer 实例（与现在 manageddisplay 的选择逻辑相同）；backend-neutral 的离屏纹理 + 下载回读路径同样走 texture 句柄。落地后**移除 B7 两个过渡桥** `oakengine_color_transform_job_set_processor`/`oakengine_color_set_display_color_processor`，roadmap 补记。
+   **验收**：5 个 Backends viewer 用例继续全过（这是该路径的现成回归测试）。
+
+### 3.7 TrackListRippleToolCommand ctor（1）
+
+v2 已钉死为遗留评估点。方案：grep 定位（timelinewidget ripple 工具），先尝试用现有 timeline 编辑原语组合替代；无法替代则设计 `oakengine_tracklist_ripple_*` 小族（参数拍平：track 列表 + per-track RippleInfo POD 数组 + 时间 + movement mode）。**这是最后一个符号，允许单独花时间；消不掉按 §6.4 进豁免清单（写理由）。**
+
+### 3.8 B11d 收口（最后做）
+
+1. 确认 oak-editor `U _ZN5olive` 只剩豁免清单 6 项；oak-render-worker 为 0。
+2. liboakengine 符号可见性收口：`set_target_properties(oakengine PROPERTIES CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET hidden VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN ON)` 或 version script 白名单 `oakengine_*`。验证 `nm -D --defined-only liboakengine.so | grep -c " T _Z"` → 0。liboakcore 复查不回归。
+3. facade 覆盖审计为空（`oakengine_worker_main` 豁免）。
+4. 终验：全量构建 + ctest 全绿；§1 四条验收逐条核对；roadmap 附 C 标记战役完成。
+
+---
+
+## 4. 已完成批次（不要重做）
+
+详见 roadmap 附 C。要点：B1–B8c 全部、B9a（Task/Undo）、B9b（Config/AudioManager/DiskManager/ProxyManager/LUTLibrary/ProjectSerializer）、B9c（预览/渲染服务 PreviewAutoCacher/RenderTicket/RenderTicketWatcher → `oakengine_preview_cacher_*`/`oakengine_preview_request_*`）、B9d（plugin）、B9e（gizmo POD 化 + DraggableGizmo 搬 app）、B10（工具类搬 app）、B11a 大部（Node 族、命令类、input id getter）、事件机制（ID 已分配到 143）。
+
+**事件 ID 分配**：已用到 143（141/142 playback cache、143 frame cache）。**新事件从 144 起**。
+
+---
+
+## 5. 每批的标准产出（SOP）
+
+1. `nm` 度量基线 → 2. grep 确认实际使用点（§3 清单仅供参考，以 grep 为准）→ 3. facade 补 C 函数（§6 契约）→ 4. app 逐文件换调用 → 5. 每个新 C 函数补单元测试（注册进 `engine/CMakeLists.txt` 的 `make_oakengine_test`）→ 6. 全量构建 + ctest 全绿 → 7. 族符号和总数双度量对比 → 8. roadmap 附 C 补记。
+
+---
+
+## 6. 边界契约与硬规则（钉死，不得违反）
+
+### 6.1 C ABI 头文件规则
+- 位置 `engine/include/oakengine/*.h`，实现在 `engine/src/capi/*.cpp`（注册进 `engine/src/capi/CMakeLists.txt`）。
+- 每个头：GPL 版权头、`#ifdef __cplusplus extern "C"`、`OAKENGINE_API` 导出宏。
+- **头文件里只允许 C 类型**：`int/int64_t/double/char*/void*`、POD struct、不透明句柄 typedef。禁止 C++ 类、模板、Qt 类型、std:: 类型、引用、默认参数、重载。
+- 命名：`oakengine_<族>_<动作>`；错误码 `OAKENGINE_OK`（0）/ 负数 `OAKENGINE_E_*`。
+- 字符串输出 buf/size 约定（返回所需长度不含 \0，`buf=NULL,buf_size=0` 查长度）。
+- 线程语义：回调/事件 = Qt::DirectConnection 等价同步调用；回调内不得反调改同一对象的编辑原语。
+- 所有权：create 返回 owned 句柄必须配套 free；borrowed 句柄在注释里写明。
+
+### 6.2 undoable 编辑原语
+- 所有改图操作必须 undoable，实现照 `engine/src/capi/node.cpp` 的 `push_or_run` 模式。
+- **undo 粒度妥协是允许的**（facade 单命令边界导致一次用户操作产生多条 undo 记录），代码加注释说明即可。**但：用户语义上的一次操作若在 UI/测试层被当作一条 undo（如 drag&drop 移动、对话框 accept），必须用单条命令的 facade 函数**（`oakengine_folder_move_child` 是样板）。
+
+### 6.3 事件机制（信号迁移唯一通道）
+- 禁止 app 直接 `QObject::connect` engine 对象的信号。一律 `oakengine_event_subscribe` → `app/engineeventbridge` → app 连 bridge。SOP 见 roadmap 附 D。
+- 新事件：events.h 加宏（**从 144 起**）、events.cpp `connect_event` 加 case、bridge 加信号 + dispatch、`oakengine_events_test.cpp` 补实测。
+- **例外（钉死）**：facade 自有 owned 对象（OakEnginePlayback、OakEnginePreviewRequest）的完成/数据回调用各自的 `set_*_callback`，不走事件机制。
+
+### 6.4 豁免清单（R6 后已清空：无豁免，nm=0）
+
+> **状态（R6 收尾）**：原"终态保留"裁决已被 R6 计划推翻并全部消除——
+> `AudioProcessor`（5 符号：ctor/dtor/open/close/convert）经 P5 改为 C vtable
+> 接口（`oakengine/audio.h` `oakengine_audio_processor_*`，app 持
+> `OakEngineAudioProcessor*` 句柄）；`plugin::PluginProgressReporter`（4 符号：
+> staticMetaObject/qt_metacast/qt_metacall/cancelled）经 P3.2 去 Q_OBJECT、
+> cancelled 信号改 C 回调。`oakengine_worker_main` 为 worker 进程入口
+> （非 `olive::` 符号，不计入 nm 指标）。
+>
+> 实测：`nm -D` 于 oak-editor 与 oak-render-worker 的 ` U _ZN5olive` 均为 **0**。
+> **当前无任何豁免。**
+
+以下为 R5 冲刺时记录的 58 符号历史分类（**R6 已全部清零，仅作存档**）：
+
+**GLM-5.2 R5 冲刺豁免清单（58 符号，分类理由）——✅ R6 已全部清零（nm 58→0）**：
+
+**A. MOC 生成 staticMetaObject（9 符号）**——app 类的信号/槽参数类型
+  含 Node*/Project*/Sequence*/ViewerOutput*/UndoStack* 时，MOC 生成的
+  meta-object 代码引用 engine 类的 staticMetaObject。消除需更改所有
+  此类信号/槽签名为 C ABI 句柄类型（OakEngineNode* 等），工程量大。
+  - `Node::staticMetaObject`、`Project::staticMetaObject`、
+    `Sequence::staticMetaObject`、`ViewerOutput::staticMetaObject`、
+    `UndoStack::staticMetaObject`、`AudioWaveformCache::staticMetaObject`
+  - `plugin::PluginProgressReporter::staticMetaObject/qt_metacast/qt_metacall`
+
+**B. Inline 函数拉入（8 符号）**——engine 头文件的 inline 方法引用
+  这些符号，app 包含头文件即产生 undefined reference。消除需创建
+  app 侧 handle 头（不包含 engine C++ 头）或扩 facade 覆盖所有 inline 路径。
+  - `Node::link`（NodeLinkCommand 析构 inline 调用）
+  - `Node::set_standard_value`（inline getter 引用）
+  - `Node::set_value_at_time`（1 处直接调用，QVariant→POD 转换复杂）
+  - `UndoCommand::redo_now/undo_now/UndoCommand()`（MultiUndoCommand
+    inline add_child/析构调用）
+  - `MultiCamNode::k_current_input`、`SubtitleBlock::k_text_in`
+    （inline 方法引用静态字符串）
+
+**C. 实时回调边界（5 符号）**——v3 已预批。
+  - `AudioProcessor`：ctor/dtor/open/close/convert
+
+**D. 渲染/GPU 边界（13 符号）**——manageddisplay/viewer 的 OpenGL 路径
+  直接创建 OpenGLRenderer/DynamicRenderer 对象并调用虚函数。
+  facade 有 oakengine_renderer_* 但 app 仍用 C++ 对象。
+  消除需将整个渲染对象管理移入 engine。
+  - `Renderer`：destroy/create_texture/blit_color_managed
+  - `DynamicRenderer`：ctor/init_with_open_gl_context/load
+  - `OpenGLRenderer`：ctor/init
+  - `Texture`：upload/download
+  - `Frame`：allocate/create/set_video_params
+
+**E. 色彩管理（6 符号）**——ManagedColor/ColorProcessor 的 C++ 对象
+  在多个 UI 组件中使用。无 C ABI 等价物。
+  - `ManagedColor`：ctor×2/set_color_input/set_color_output
+  - `ColorProcessor`：create/convert_color
+
+**F. 无 C ABI 等价物（17 符号）**——需新增 facade 函数。
+  - `NodeValue`：4 个静态工具方法
+  - `VideoParams`：3 个构造器重载
+  - `AudioWaveformSync`：2 个估计算法
+  - `AudioSynchronizer`：2 个对齐方法
+  - `TimelineMarker`：set_time/ctor
+  - `ShapeNodeBase::set_rect`、`FrameHashCache::load_cache_frame`
+  - `RenderManager::instance_`（viewer.cpp inline instance() 引用）
+  - `plugin::PluginProgressReporter::cancelled`（信号，需事件迁移）
+
+### 6.5 测试规则
+- facade 每个新 C 函数必须有单元测试（纯 C `assert` 风格，不依赖 GPU/QApplication；需要时 `oakengine_init(OAKENGINE_INIT_HEADLESS)`）。
+- GL/Vulkan 测试必须可无 GPU 跳过（GTEST_SKIP 模式）。
+- 新测试注册进 `engine/CMakeLists.txt` 的 `make_oakengine_test(...)`。
+
+### 6.6 v3 新增硬规则（对应 §2.2 的六条教训）
+
+- **R1（ODR/符号介入）**：app 侧**严禁**用与 engine 相同的限定名定义任何非 inline 符号（函数或静态数据）。确需同名本地副本（B10 模式），必须对该源文件加 `-fvisibility=hidden`（`app/CMakeLists.txt` 的 `set_source_files_properties` 是现成样板）。`#pragma GCC visibility` 对已被 engine 头以 default 可见性声明过的符号**无效**（GCC 取首次声明的可见性）；要么用编译 flag，要么在定义处打 `__attribute__((visibility("hidden")))`。验证方法：`readelf -sW <binary> | c++filt | grep <符号>` 必须是 `HIDDEN`。
+- **R2（注册检查）**：新建任何 .cpp 必须同步注册进对应 CMakeLists，并在当批验证其符号确实从 `U` 清单消失。app 侧定义的 engine 同名函数若不加 hidden，会通过 ELF 介入把 engine .so 内部调用劫持到 app 版，可能形成跨模块无限递归。
+- **R3（undo 语义）**：`oakengine_undo_push(command, name)` **只有两个参数**（全局栈，不传栈句柄）。`Core::instance()->undo_stack()` 返回 `void*`，仅作事件订阅 handle 用。删除任何 `push` 调用时必须同步删除/替换其命令的执行路径——**命令不压栈 = 静默不执行 + 内存泄漏**。
+- **R4（linesize 约定）**：facade POD 中的 `linesize` 一律是**字节**。`olive::Frame` 有两个值：`linesize_bytes()`（字节）和 `linesize_pixels()`（像素 = 字节/bpp）。跨边界只传字节；engine 内部（纹理上传等）按各 API 既有约定（Vulkan/OpenGL 纹理上传收**像素**）。
+- **R5（VideoParams 构造）**：默认构造的 `VideoParams` 是 width=0/height=0/**depth=0**/channels=0/format=invalid。凡要喂给帧分配/纹理上传的，**必须用带参构造器**（显示 RGBA 帧用四参 `VideoParams(w, h, format, VideoParams::k_internal_channel_count)`，depth=1）。depth=0 不会报错，只会让上传字节数为 0（纯黑）。
+- **R6（接手验证）**：任何中断/交接后，第一件事是全量构建 + 全量 ctest + 对照 §3 清单 grep 复核，不要采信上一手的完成声明（包括本文 §2.3——以你实测为准）。
+
+---
+
+## 7. 禁止事项（硬约束）
+
+1. **禁止任何 git 写操作**：commit / add / push / restore / checkout / stash / clean / rebase。
+2. **禁止暴露 C++ ABI**：不得新建导出 C++ 类/模板/Qt 类型的头；不得往 liboakengine 导出表加 `_Z` 符号（新代码产生 C++ 弱符号时给实现类加 `visibility("hidden")`）。
+3. **禁止把 Qt 类型放进 core/**（liboakcore 是 Qt-free）。
+4. **禁止改 worker 的 NDJSON IPC 协议**；禁止重做 §4 已完成的任何批次。
+5. **禁止修改本文已钉死的签名**：各 facade 头现有函数、events.h 已分配的事件 ID（1–143）、§3 各批钉死的契约签名。
+6. **禁止为追求 undo 记录合并、staticMetaObject 消除等发明新机制**——按 §6.2/§6.4 妥协条款执行。
+7. **禁止降低测试标准**：新 C 函数无测试不得算完成；全量 ctest 不绿不得进入下一批。
+8. **禁止重新 cmake 配置构建目录**；禁止安装/卸载系统依赖；禁止改 CI/打包文件。
+9. **禁止在未验证构建状态前继续批次**（§6.6-R6）。
+
+---
+
+## 8. 决策兜底原则
+
+1. roadmap 已有裁决的，从 roadmap。
+2. 能搬进 app 的纯 UI/工具代码 → 搬 app（优于 facade 化）。
+3. 纯数据类 → POD 化或头内联，优先于新增 facade 族。
+4. 必须跨边界的 → 最小 facade 族（只包 app 实际用到的成员）。
+5. GPU/帧路径、Qt 运行时耦合 → 薄封装 + `void*` 透传 + 文档注明例外。
+6. 以上都拿不准的：留下不动，写进 roadmap 遗留清单，继续下一点。**不允许为单点发明新架构。**
+
+---
+
+## 9. 环境备忘
+
+- 构建目录 `cmake-build-debug`（Ninja + Qt6，Debug）；另有 cmake-build-asan / cmake-build-coverage，**不要用**。
+- 单文件增量验证：`rm -f cmake-build-debug/app/CMakeFiles/libolive-editor.dir/<相对路径>.o && cmake --build cmake-build-debug --target olive-editor -j$(nproc)`。
+- 测试素材：`tests/demo.mp4`、`tests/img.png`、`tests/project_with_footage.ove`。
+- 本机有 GPU，worker/viewer 的 Vulkan 用例真实执行（OpenGL 用例 offscreen 不可绘，会 SKIP，属正常）；CI 无 GPU 会 GTEST_SKIP，两者都算通过。
+- 全量 ctest 44 个约 90-140s（olive-gtest 占 ~85s），每批必须跑完不能裁剪。
+- 调试技巧（本批实测有效）：teardown 堆崩溃用 `GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.malloc.tcache_count=0 gdb -batch -ex run -ex bt` 可拿到真实崩溃栈；帧/纹理内容验证用 `Texture::download` 回读后求和。

+12. **构建修复事故记录(2026-07-22,K2.7)**:B9b Proxy 批次子代理执行中途因 API 配额中断,误删 `timelinewidget.cpp` 一个函数块(rubber-band 三件套/add/remove/set_selections/get_item_at_scene_pos/save/restore_splitter_state/add_timeline_and_track_view/SetSplitterSizesCommand::redo/undo)并把 `seekablewidget.cpp` 留在半迁移态(`Core::undo_stack()` 返回 `void*` 后调用点未换、`resize_item_` 改 `void*` 后仍 `dynamic_cast`)。已由 K2.7 按 HEAD 恢复函数块(不含已 C API 化的 generate_existing_paste_map)、seekablewidget 改用 `resize_item_kind_` + `static_cast` + `oakengine_undo_push(command, name)` 双参形式,恢复 44/44 全绿。教训已写入交接文档 §2.1。代价:seekablewidget marker resize/绘制路径残留 `TimelineMarker::draw/set_time`/`TimelineWorkArea::set_range`/`MarkerChange*Command`/`ViewerOutput::set_playhead` 共 6 个符号,归入交接文档 §5.8.1(B11c)处理。
+13. **B9c/B9d/B9e/B10/B11a 大部(2026-07-22~23,DS)**:预览/渲染服务(PreviewAutoCacher/RenderTicket/RenderTicketWatcher → `oakengine_preview_cacher_*`/`oakengine_preview_request_*` 异步请求族)、plugin 族(`oakengine_plugin_*` + progress reporter 工厂回调)、gizmo(TextGizmo POD 化进 `oakengine/gizmo.h`,DraggableGizmo 整体搬 app)、B10 工具类(QtUtils/FileFunctions/ColorCoding/Html/xml/debug_handler/qHash/Track::Reference 流运算符全部搬 app)、B11a Node 大部(图操作原语/NodeFactory/input id getter/命令类替换)。符号 162→36。
+14. **v3 验收修复(2026-07-23,K2.7)**:对 DS 产出验收发现 6 个真实缺陷并全部修复——(1)B10 app 侧 `colorcodingapp/htmlapp/filefunctionsapp/hashstreamapp/xmlutilsapp` 与 engine 同名定义造成 ELF 符号介入、静态对象双重析构,`timeline-tests`/`olive-gtest` 退出即崩("corrupted double-linked list"),修复:`app/CMakeLists.txt` 对这 5 个文件加 `-fvisibility=hidden`;(2)`app/common/nodeimpl.cpp` 死代码(创建未注册),钉死方案 A:删除并改调用点(见交接文档 §3.4);(3)`SpeedDurationDialog::accept()` undo 命令未压栈(时长修剪不执行,2 个 gtest 红),补 `oakengine_undo_push(command, name)`;(4)`dropMimeData` 一次移动拆 3 条 undo,新增 `oakengine_folder_move_child`(单条命令)并补测试;(5)预览帧 POD `linesize` 误用 pixels 应为 bytes(preview.cpp + viewer.cpp 两处);(6)重建 display Frame 用 VideoParams 默认构造(channel_count=0 除零、depth=0 致 Vulkan 上传 0 字节、4 个 viewer NotBlack 黑屏),改四参构造。`manageddisplay.cpp` 渲染器创建恢复 DynamicRenderer 原版。当前符号 39(36+恢复的 DynamicRenderer 3),仅剩 `Backends/ViewerRuntimeRewireTest.RewireToIndirectConnectionNotBlack/1` 一个已知失败(交接文档 §3.1 有排查线索)。六条教训固化为交接文档 §6.6 硬规则 R1-R6。
 
 豁免原则:纯 UI 呈现类(不触引擎执行)可经 C++ 包装层引用——但包装层本身也是 C++ 符号引用,故阶段 4 的"0"实际指**直接 olive:: 符号**;包装类应放进 liboakengine 的 wrapper 头(符号由 wrapper 内联消解,不进动态符号表)。

+app 直接 connect 引擎 QObject 信号是 B4/B5 后最大的遗留耦合(~30 个连接点)。本批建立了通用替代机制:**引擎侧 C 订阅 API + app 侧 Qt 信号桥**。
+
+### 机制
+
+- `oakengine_event_subscribe(void *handle, int32_t event_id, oakengine_event_fn fn, void *userdata) -> int64_t`:按事件族传对应 facade handle(Project/Sequence/Track/Node,handle 即引擎对象指针,与既有约定一致)。返回订阅 id(>0),失败返回 0(handle NULL、事件 id 未知、或 handle 类型与事件族不匹配——内部用 `dynamic_cast` 从 `QObject*` 校验)。
+- `oakengine_event_unsubscribe(int64_t id)`:退订;id 已失效(对象已销毁)时返回 `OAKENGINE_E_NOT_FOUND`,无害。
+- 回调签名为 `void (*)(const oakengine_event *event, void *userdata)`;`oakengine_event` 是纯 POD:`{id, a, b, source, handle}`(`a`/`b` 为 int64:标志位、index 或帧时间戳;`source` 为被订阅 handle;`handle` 为事件相关对象,均为借用指针,仅回调期间有效)。
+- **线程语义**:与原 Qt direct connection 完全一致——回调在发射线程上同步调用(内部 `Qt::DirectConnection`),先于引擎自身发射返回。引擎对象都在 GUI 线程,回调即在 GUI 线程。回调不得在持锁点反向调用修改同一对象的编辑原语。
+- **生命周期**:被观察对象销毁时引擎侧自动注销(Qt `destroyed`),绝不会有悬空回调;`userdata` 归订阅方管理,退订前需自行保证有效。
+
+### 事件 ID 表
+
+| ID | 宏 | 订阅 handle | 载荷 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `PROJECT_MODIFIED_CHANGED` | OakEngineProject* | a = modified 0/1 |

+
+(`oakengine_event` 在 B8a 扩展了 `c`(第三整数载荷)与 `s`(字符串载荷,仅回调期间有效)两个字段;宏均带 `OAKENGINE_EVENT_` 前缀。)
+
+### app 侧:EngineEventBridge
+
+`app/engineeventbridge.{h,cpp}`:一个 QObject,`subscribe(handle, event_id)` 注册 C 回调并把事件按 id 分发为**带类型的 Qt 信号**(如 `folder_begin_insert_item(OakEngineNode*, OakEngineNode*, int)`)。桥拥有订阅,析构时全退订;被观察对象死亡时引擎侧自动注销,双向都安全。
+
+### 已迁的代表性连接点
+
+- `app/core.cpp` `on_active_project_changed`:`Project::modified_changed` → bridge 订阅 + 信号接 `QMainWindow::setWindowModified`。
+- `app/widget/projectexplorer/projectviewmodel.cpp`:Folder 的 begin/end insert/remove 四个信号 → `folder_bridge_` + `folder_subscriptions_`(QHash<Folder*, ids>);槽函数改为显式传 `Folder*`(原 `sender()` 语义由事件的 `source` 字段承担)。
+
+### 后续批次迁移连接点的标准操作步骤
+
+1. 确认目标信号已在事件 ID 表内;不在则:在 `events.h` 加宏(新 id)、`events.cpp` 的 `connect_event` 加 case(dynamic_cast 校验 + DirectConnection + POD 载荷)、`EngineEventBridge` 加对应信号和 `dispatch` case、在 `oakengine_events_test` 补一条实测。
+2. app 侧:在原来 `connect(engineObj, &EngineClass::sig, ...)` 处改为 `bridge->subscribe(reinterpret_cast<OakEngineXxx*>(obj), OAKENGINE_EVENT_...)`,保存返回 id;对象失效或换绑时 `unsubscribe(id)`(引擎对象销毁会自动注销,重复 unsubscribe 无害)。
+3. 若原槽函数用 `sender()`,改为从事件的 `source`/`handle` 字段显式传入(见 projectviewmodel 改法)。
+4. 构造期一次性 `connect(bridge, &EngineEventBridge::xxx, this, ...)`;回调语义与原 direct connection 相同,无需改线程假设。
+5. 全量构建 + ctest 全绿,`nm -D app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"` 应下降。
+
+### Track 块遍历族(同批落地)
+
+`oakengine_track_block_at_time / nearest_block_before(_or_at) / nearest_block_after(_or_at) / block_count` + `oakengine_block_next/prev/is_gap/get_range`(timeline.h,`OakEngineBlock` 不透明句柄,含 gap;clip 句柄与 `OakEngineClip` 同指针)。已迁 razor(nearest_block_before)与 trackselect(链式遍历)两个代表点;ripple/transition/timelineview 的同构用法照此替换即可。

+
+> 本文是 Oak 引入 AI 能力的长期设计，**执行前提是 RIIR 绞杀者拆分完成**
+> （见 [`riir.md`](riir.md)）。彼时 `liboakengine.so` 已不存在，取而代之的是

+
+---
+
+## 1. 定位与前提
+
+### 1.1 前提（未满足不动工）
+
+- RIIR 拆分战役完成：引擎已拆为 §2.1 的小库；各库导出仅 C 符号；
+  `oakengine_*` facade 壳稳定且全量测试绿。
+- Google Test 已是唯一测试框架；`gtest_discover_tests` 已接入。
+- 本文不改动 RIIR 既定的模块划分，只在模块化树上**新增叶子**。
+
+### 1.2 设计铁律（继承自迁移/拆分战役）
+
+1. AI Agent **只经 C ABI** 访问引擎，一行 engine C++ 都不碰；不污染符号边界。
+2. Agent 的一切编辑动作**必须可撤销**（undoable 原语），UI 默认"确认后执行"。
+3. 不为 AI 发明新的引擎内部机制；工具面是现有 facade/小库的组合。
+4. 引擎各模块**不得新增 Qt 依赖、不得新增 QObject 信号/moc 类**。
+
+## 2. 总体架构
+
+### 2.1 在模块化树上的位置
+
+```
+app / oak-cli / oak-render-worker / oak-agent / oak-mcp-server
+                     │
+            liboakengine-facade（壳：capi + 事件 + init）
+                     │
+   ┌────────┬────────┼─────────┬──────────┐
+ oaktask  oakrender  oakplugin  oakaudio  oakserialize
+   │        │         │          │          │
+   └────────┴────┬───┴──────────┴──────────┘
+                 │
+        oakmodel（节点图 + 项目模型 + 时间线模型）
+                 │
+        ┌────────┼─────────┐
+     oakcodec  liboakcore  oakbackend（GPU 插件）
+        │
+   ffmpeg_bridge
+```
+
+**新增三个叶子组件**（与 oak-cli、oak-render-worker 平级，都是纯消费者）：
+
+- **`oak-mcp-server`**：把策展过的工具面经 MCP 暴露给任何 LLM 客户端。
+- **`oak-agent`**：无头 Agent 运行时（对话编排 + 视觉闭环），供脚本/CI/本地使用。
+- **editor AI 面板**：app 内的聊天/操作日志/确认界面，与 `oak-agent` 复用同一工具面。
+
+AI 功能**不进入** oakmodel、oakrender 等引擎模块，引擎核心对 AI 无感知。
+
+### 2.2 视觉闭环（本设计的核心）
+
+```
+多模态 LLM ──► oak-agent ──► facade/小库执行编辑 ──► 渲染取帧 ──► PNG ──► 回喂 LLM
+   ▲                                                              │
+   └──────────────── 看图判断（效果/切点/内容定位） ◄───────────────┘
+```
+
+- **验证式**：每次编辑后取一帧，LLM 判断"效果对不对"。
+- **内容感知式**：沿时间线批量取缩略图拼 contact sheet，LLM 扫图定位
+  （"人何时进画面""哪里该切"），Agent 据此下刀——自动粗剪/打点的雏形。
+- **连续回放**：经 playback 族起范围播放，按间隔采样帧。
+
+## 3. 工具面（策展，非全量 facade）
+
+**不暴露全部 ~200+ facade 函数**，而是策展约 25 个高层工具，每个是 facade/小库
+的组合。`oak-mcp-server` 内部就是一个薄模块，链接 facade 壳与相关小库。
+
+| 工具 | 落到哪个库 | 说明 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `create_project` / `open_project` / `save_project` | facade 壳 + oakmodel | 工程生命周期 |
+| `probe_media` / `import_footage` / `get_media_info` | oakcodec + facade 壳 | 媒体探测与导入 |
+| `add_track` / `add_clip` / `trim_clip` / `ripple` / `add_transition` / `add_marker` | oakmodel（经 facade 时间线族） | 时间线编辑 |
+| `add_effect(effect_id)` / `set_param` / `set_keyframe` | oakmodel（经 facade node 族） | 节点与关键帧 |
+| `apply_lut` / `set_color_transform` | oakmodel + facade color 族 | 调色 |
+| `get_frame(time)` / `get_thumbnails(range,n)` / `get_audio_levels` | oakrender + oakbackend | **视觉闭环的取帧口** |
+| `export_render(params)` | oaktask + oakcodec | 导出 |
+
+**取帧→PNG 通路**（视觉闭环关键路径）：
+`get_frame` 经 oakrender 的预览请求得到 RGBA 帧（POD：`宽/高/字节流`），
+再经 oakcodec 的 OIIO 编码器出 PNG，base64 后作为图片消息发给 LLM。
+缩略图用同一路径降采样，多张拼 contact sheet。
+
+## 4. 协议：MCP（Model Context Protocol）
+
+工具协议**定为 MCP**，理由：
+
+- render-worker 已在用 **NDJSON over stdin/stdout 的 IPC**——MCP 本质是该模式
+  的标准化，实现路径一致。
+- 暴露成 `oak-mcp-server` 后，**外部 LLM 客户端（Claude Desktop、各类 agent
+  框架）可直接连接复用**，无需自研对话编排。
+- `oak-agent` 与 editor AI 面板都连同一个 MCP server，**一份工具面，多处消费**。
+
+## 5. 模型层
+
+抽象 `LLMProvider` 接口（输入：消息 + 图片；输出：文本 + tool_calls），两个后端：
+
+- **云端**：Claude / GPT 多模态（效果优先）。
+- **本地**：llama.cpp 跑 Qwen-VL / LLaVA 类多模态模型（隐私、离线优先）。
+
+API key 只走环境变量，**绝不写入 config / 工程文件**。无 key 时优雅降级为
+"仅本地工具"（仍可用 MCP，但不做对话编排）。
+
+## 6. 安全
+
+- **可撤销**：所有编辑走 undoable 原语；AI 面板提供"撤销整段会话"。
+- **确认模式**：默认每次 Agent 动作需用户确认才 apply；可切换自动模式。
+- **沙箱会话**：Agent 默认在临时工程中操作，用户接受后才落盘到真实工程。
+- **资源**：取帧/扫描限帧率与分辨率上限，防止批量取帧拖垮渲染进程。
+
+## 7. 可测试（与项目风格一致）
+
+1. **Mock LLM server**：录制/回放 tool_call 序列与固定回复，让 Agent loop 在
+   CI 无 key 无网络跑通（Google Test）。
+2. **黄金帧校验**：复用 render-worker 端到端 harness（真实渲染 ≥2 帧 +
+   像素非全黑 + 一致性断言），验证"Agent 的编辑确实改变了画面"。
+3. **会话回放**：tool_call + 帧哈希落盘日志，可回放复现、可作测试夹具。
+
+## 8. 里程碑（RIIR 完成后启动）
+
+1. **M1 工具面**：`oak-mcp-server`（facade → MCP，~25 工具）+ 取帧→PNG 通路。
+2. **M2 无头闭环**：Mock LLM + `oak-agent`，跑通"LLM→工具→取帧→回喂"，

+# 测试统一到 Google Test — 迁移指引
+
+> 本文指导把仓库里并存的三套测试框架统一收敛到 **Google Test**。
+> 面向执行者（DeepSeek Flash 或任何接手代理），自包含，可直接照做。
+> 工作分支：`c-abi-migration`。**启动前提：R5（C ABI app 侧迁移）验收完
+> 成之后**（R5 期间测试是唯一的回归防线，不在迁移途中换测试框架）；
+> 启动后可与 UI 改版计划并行（文件域不相交）。每迁完一个测试二进制
+> 立即提交，每步全量 ctest 绿才进下一步。
+>
+> **ctest 的定位**：统一后 ctest 仍然是唯一的测试**运行入口**
+> （`ctest --output-on-failure`），Google Test 是唯一的测试**编写框架**。
+> 两者不冲突——用 `gtest_discover_tests()` 让 ctest 按用例粒度发现 gtest 用例。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 现状：三套框架并存
+
+| 框架 | 位置 | 编写方式 | 构建/注册 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Google Test（目标形态）** | `tests/gtest/*.cpp` | `TEST()/TEST_F()/TEST_P()`，单一 `olive-gtest` 二进制 | `tests/gtest/CMakeLists.txt`，共享 `main.cpp`（QApplication + offscreen + OCIO） |
+| 自研 OAK 宏框架 | `tests/timeline/timeline-tests.cpp`、`tests/compositing/compositing-tests.cpp` | `OAK_ADD_TEST(name)` + `OAK_ASSERT(x)` | `tests/CMakeLists.txt` 的 `olive_add_test()` 宏，正则扫宏生成 `main()` |
+| 纯 C assert | `engine/tests/oakengine_*_test.cpp`、`core/tests/oakcore_*_test.cpp` | 手写 `main()` + `assert()` | `engine/CMakeLists.txt` 的 `make_oakengine_test()`，每个文件一个独立 ctest 二进制 |
+
+## 2. 为什么统一到 Google Test
+
+1. **断言可读性**：`assert(x)` 失败只说行号；`EXPECT_EQ(a, b)` 打印左右值，
+   定位快一个数量级。这正是近几轮 facade 调试里最痛的一点。
+2. **fixture 替代手工样板**：纯 C 测试里每个文件都手写 `oakengine_init` /
+   `setenv("XDG_*")` / 临时目录 / `oakengine_project_free`，gfixture 的
+   `SetUp()/TearDown()`/`SetUpTestSuite()` 一次性收口。
+3. **`GTEST_SKIP()`**：GPU/缺资源用例优雅跳过（offscreen OpenGL 不可绘现在
+   靠崩/超时区分，不好维护）。
+4. **过滤与重复**：`--gtest_filter`、重复运行（压 flaky）、死亡测试。
+5. **`assert()` 在 NDEBUG 下被吞**：纯 C 测试一旦开 Release 编译就形同虚设，
+   这是统一的硬理由之一。
+
+## 3. 目标结构
+
+```
+tests/gtest/            # app 集成测试（已是 gtest，保持不变，按需并入新用例）
+engine/tests/           # liboakengine facade 测试，改写为 gtest
+  CMakeLists.txt        # 一个 oakengine_gtest 目标 + gtest_discover_tests
+core/tests/             # liboakcore 测试，改写为 gtest
+  CMakeLists.txt        # 一个 oakcore_gtest 目标 + gtest_discover_tests
+tests/timeline/         # 删除 olive_add_test 产物，timeline-tests.cpp 改写为 gtest
+tests/compositing/      # 同上
+```
+
+- `tests/CMakeLists.txt` 的 `olive_add_test()` 宏与 `tests/testutil.h` 的
+  `OAK_ADD_TEST`/`OAK_ASSERT`/`OAK_TEST_END` 宏全部删除。
+- `engine/CMakeLists.txt` 的 `make_oakengine_test()` 宏删除。
+- 每个新 gtest 二进制经 `gtest_discover_tests(<target>)` 进 ctest；**ctest 总
+  用例数不得少于迁移前**（迁移前列一张基线清单核对）。
+
+## 4. 转换配方
+
+### 4.1 OAK_ADD_TEST 宏框架（tests/timeline、tests/compositing）
+
+| 旧 | 新 |
+|---|---|
+| `OAK_ADD_TEST(name)` | `TEST(SuiteName, name)` |
+| `OAK_ASSERT(x)` | `ASSERT_TRUE(x)` |
+| `OAK_ASSERT_EQUAL(a, b)` | `ASSERT_EQ(a, b)`（自定义宏会打印左右值，直接换掉） |
+| `TIMELINE_TEST_START`（ColorManager::set_up_default_config + Project + Sequence） | `class TimelineTest : public ::testing::Test { void SetUp() override {...} }` |
+| `OAK_TEST_END / return OLIVE_TEST_SUCCESS` | 删除（gtest 自动判过） |
+
+例：
+
+```cpp
+// 旧
+OAK_ADD_TEST(add_track) {
+    TIMELINE_TEST_START;
+    OAK_ASSERT(sequence.track_list(Track::k_video)->get_track_count() == 1);
+}
+
+// 新
+TEST_F(TimelineTest, AddTrack) {
+    ASSERT_EQ(sequence.track_list(Track::k_video)->get_track_count(), 1);
+}
+```
+
+### 4.2 纯 C assert（engine/tests、core/tests）
+
+| 旧 | 新 |
+|---|---|
+| 手写 `int main()` | 删除，链接共享 gtest main |
+| `assert(x)` | `ASSERT_TRUE(x)` / `EXPECT_TRUE(x)` |
+| `assert(fabs(a-b) < eps)` | `EXPECT_NEAR(a, b, eps)` |
+| `assert(strcmp(a, b) == 0)` | `EXPECT_STREQ(a, b)` |
+| `make_tmpdir()` + `setenv("XDG_*")` | `SetUpTestSuite()` 里建一次临时目录 |
+| 每文件自带 `oakengine_init/shutdown` | 共享 fixture 做（见 §5.2） |
+
+**纯 C ABI 测试照写 C 调用**：gtest 文件是 C++，直接 `#include "oakengine/xxx.h"`
+调 `oakengine_*` 函数即可，不需要把被测 API 改成 C++。断言里出现
+`OakEngineNode*` 等不透明句柄比较用 `EXPECT_EQ((void*)a, (void*)b)`。
+
+**过渡期技巧（可选，不推荐长期使用）**：文件量太大时可先加一个
+`#define assert(x) ASSERT_TRUE(x)` 的兼容头，把 `main()` 删掉挂进 gtest，
+再逐文件把 `assert` 换成语义化 `EXPECT_*`。但**最终态不许留 `assert()`**。
+
+### 4.3 已是 Google Test 的（tests/gtest）
+
+不动。新增的 engine/core 用例如需 app 侧对象，可直接加进 `olive-gtest` 目标。
+
+## 5. 落地步骤（按顺序，每步闭环：构建 + 全量 ctest 绿 + 提交）
+
+### 5.1 基线
+先跑 `ctest -N` 记录迁移前用例总数，存为 `docs/zh/gtest-migration-baseline.md`
+（迁移后对比，总数只增不减）。
+
+### 5.2 共享 fixture/main
+- `core/tests/main.cpp`：`RUN_ALL_TESTS` + `SetUpTestSuite` 建 XDG 临时目录。
+- `engine/tests/main.cpp`：同上，外加 `oakengine_init(OAKENGINE_INIT_HEADLESS)`，
+  `TearDownTestSuite` 调 `oakengine_shutdown()`；`OAK_TEST_SOURCE_DIR` 经
+  `target_compile_definitions` 传入（照 `make_oakengine_test` 现有做法）。
+- XDG 沙箱**每个二进制一份**，不要每个测试一份（与现状一致，避免并发冲突）。
+
+### 5.3 core/tests（最小、无 Qt，先练手）
+逐文件改写 `oakcore_*_test.cpp` 为 gtest，删手写 main；建 `oakcore_gtest` 目标
+（链 `oakcore` + `GTest::gtest` + `GTest::gtest_main`），`gtest_discover_tests`。
+全量 ctest 绿后提交。
+
+### 5.4 tests/timeline、tests/compositing（OAK 宏框架）
+按 §4.1 改写；建独立 gtest 目标或并入合适目标；删除 `olive_add_test` 调用、
+`tests/testutil.h` 宏与 `tests/CMakeLists.txt` 中的宏定义。全量 ctest 绿后提交。
+
+### 5.5 engine/tests（facade 测试，量最大）
+按 §4.2 改写 `oakengine_*_test.cpp`；建 `oakengine_gtest` 目标（链 `oakengine`
++ Qt + gtest），删 `make_oakengine_test`。全量 ctest 绿后提交。
+
+### 5.6 收尾
+- `ctest -N` 对比基线（只增不减）；全量 `--output-on-failure` 绿。
+- 全仓库 grep 确认无 `OAK_ADD_TEST`/`OAK_ASSERT`/`make_oakengine_test`/
+  `olive_add_test` 残留。
+- 更新 `docs/zh/` 相关文档与本指引标注"已完成"。
+
+## 6. 注意事项（别踩坑）
+
+1. **GPU/渲染用例**：沿用 `GTEST_SKIP()` 判定（参
+   `tests/gtest/render_worker_footage_test.cpp` 的 backend 检查与
+   viewer_display_repro_test 的 offscreen 跳过模式），不许靠超时/崩溃区分。
+2. **offscreen/OCIO**：需要 QApplication 的用例共享 `tests/gtest/main.cpp` 的
+   环境初始化（offscreen QPA + OCIO 配置）；engine/core 的无头用例走
+   `oakengine_init(HEADLESS)`，不要重复造 QApplication。
+3. **测试数据路径**：`OAK_TEST_SOURCE_DIR` 必须经 CMake 定义传入
+   （`tests/demo.mp4` 等），不要硬编码相对路径。
+4. **线程/事件**：facade 事件类测试（`oakengine_events_test` 等）依赖
+   DirectConnection 同步语义，迁移时保持原用例的线程假设，不要引入
+   `QCoreApplication::processEvents` 之外的等待方式。
+5. **一次性迁移 vs 渐进**：按 §5 的顺序渐进，**禁止**先删框架再慢慢补测试
+   （会造成不可测试的空窗）。每步都必须全量绿。
+6. **ctest 仍是入口**：CI/本地都继续用 `ctest --output-on-failure -j$(nproc)`；
+   `gtest_discover_tests` 注册后，单个用例可用 `ctest -R <SuiteName.CaseName>`
+   或 `./<binary> --gtest_filter=...` 跑。

+# RIIR 绞杀者模式执行计划：liboakengine 模块化拆分与渐进式 Rust 重写
+
+> 本文档描述在 C ABI 迁移战役（见 `c-abi-migration-handoff.md`）完成之后，
+> 如何用绞杀者模式（Strangler Fig）把 liboakengine.so 安全地拆成若干小模块，
+> 再逐个重写为 Rust。
+> **核心约束：每一步都可验证、可回退；任何一步失败都不影响已验证的部分。**
+>
+> 本文档面向未来的执行者（可能没有本文写作时的对话上下文），因此关键决策、
+> 依据和验证方法都写成自包含的形式。与交接文档的关系：交接文档管"ABI 迁移战役"
+> （消灭 oak-editor 对 olive:: 的引用、liboakengine 只导出 oakengine_*），
+> 本文档管那之后的"拆分与重写战役"。**拆分的前置条件是 ABI 迁移完成（§1.1）。**
+
+---
+
+**API 冻结保证（最高优先级约束，先于一切拆分）**
+
+**拆分模块，但公共 API 一个不动。** 这是整个战役的硬约束，凌驾于任何
+"拆得更细"的冲动之上。三条钉死：
+
+1. **公共 `oakengine_*` 全程冻结。** 在整个拆分与 Rust 重写期间，
+   `engine/include/oakengine/*.h` 里的每个公开函数：不改签名、不删函数、
+   不改语义。唯一允许的变更是**新增**函数，且必须标注 experimental。
+   新增不等于变更——既有签名与语义一个字都不许动。
+2. **`liboakengine-facade` 自身不拆分。** facade 是唯一、薄、稳定的路由层，
+   公共 `oakengine_*` 全部保留在这里。拆分发生在它**之下**：facade 的内部
+   实现从"直接调 C++"改为"转发给对应小库的 C ABI"，但**对外暴露的符号表
+   与调用约定完全不变**——app / oak-cli / render-worker / 未来 AI Agent
+   只链接 facade，连重新链接都不用。
+3. **模块间内部 C ABI 与公共 API 分层、分别版本化。** 拆分后模块之间
+   （如 oakrender 调 oakmodel）不能再 C++ 直连，必须走**新增的内部 C ABI**。
+   这层接口：(a) 只对模块间可见，app 永远看不到；(b) 与公共 API 分开管理、
+   允许演进；(c) 命名与头文件路径必须明显区别于公共 facade（例如放
+   `engine/include/oakinternal/`，前缀 `oakinternal_`），杜绝"内部接口慢慢
+   变成事实公共 API"的漂移。公共 `oakengine_*` 另加**版本字段**
+   （`oakengine_api_version()`），让任何公共面的意外漂移可被检测。
+
+> 一句话：**缝（公共 facade）冻死，缝后面的实现随便拆随便换。**
+> 任何执行步骤如果会改动公共 `oakengine_*` 的既有签名或语义，就是走错了，
+> 停下来回到本节。
+
+---
+
+## 0. 为什么这条路是可行的（三个已验证的事实）
+
+1. **绞杀缝已经存在。** 迁移战役的最终产物就是一条稳定、纯 C、带测试覆盖的
+   ABI 缝（`engine/include/oakengine/*.h`，~30 个头、20+ 族）。绞杀者模式最危险
+   的一步——"在没有缝的系统里造缝"——已经由当前战役完成。
+2. **插件模式在本仓库已跑通。** `ffmpeg_bridge`（独立 .so，C ABI）、
+   `oakgl`/`oakvulkan`（渲染后端插件，经 `engine/render/backend/renderbackend_c.h`
+   的 C ABI 由 `DynamicRenderer` 动态加载）证明"小 .so + C ABI + 运行时替换"
+   在本代码库不是理论，是现状。本计划只是把同一模式推广到全引擎。
+3. **验证资产现成。** 44+ ctest、~2000 条 gtest、oak-cli（info/probe/render/
+   transcode，含 PPM 帧输出）、worker 端到端 harness（NDJSON 协议真实渲染）、
+   测试素材（demo.mp4/img.png/project_with_footage.ove）。每一步验证不需要
+   新建测试体系，只需要把它们固化为"门禁脚本"。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 目标、前置条件与非目标
+
+### 1.1 前置条件（未满足前不动工）
+
+- ABI 迁移战役完成：oak-editor / oak-render-worker `U _ZN5olive` = 0；
+  `nm -D --defined-only liboakengine.so | grep -c " T _Z"` = 0（visibility 收口）；
+  全量 ctest 绿。（即交接文档 §1 的四条验收。）
+- 本文 §4.2 的基础设施（Rust 工具链接入 + 门禁脚本）就位。
+
+> **R6 收尾状态（2026-07-26 实测）**：
+> - ✅ oak-editor / oak-render-worker `U _ZN5olive` = **0**（R5→R6 迁移战役完成，
+>   nm 58→0；交接文档 §6.4 豁免清单已清空为"无豁免"）；
+> - ✅ 全量构建 0 error、全量 ctest 绿（45/45）；app↔engine 边界对 app 的
+>   引用而言已是纯 C ABI——**"边界已纯"**。
+> - ⏳ **遗留项（不属 R6 范围，S0 需复核）**：engine 侧 visibility 收口未做——
+>   `nm -D --defined-only liboakengine.so | grep -c " T _Z"` 实测 = **3486**
+>   （导出 C++ 符号），尚未降到 0。该子条件是独立的收口工作（§2 Step 2 的
+>   visibility=hidden 规则），app 侧已无任何引用，收口不影响 app。
+> - 已知遗留（已论证，不泄漏符号）：app 仍 include 约 40 个 engine C++ 头
+>   （node/render/timeline/undo/pluginSupport，用于类型与 inline 访问器），
+>   nm=0 证明不产生符号引用；彻底清理超出 R6 的 58 符号目标，留待后续批次。
+
+### 1.2 终态
+
+- `liboakengine.so` 不复存在，取而代之的是一组小动态库（§3 模块图），
+  每个只有两种实现状态：C++（待重写）或 Rust（已重写）。
+- app/worker/cli 只链接 **facade 壳库**（`liboakengine-facade`），对下层模块
+  的实现语言无感知。
+- 任何模块的 Rust 替换都经过 §2 的六步流程，全程有 C++ 版本可回退，
+  直到 G6 退役门禁通过。
+
+### 1.3 非目标（明确不做）
+
+- 不重写 Qt、FFmpeg、OpenColorIO、PortAudio 等第三方库本身。
+- 不重写 app（UI 层保持 C++/Qt；它消费的本来就是 C ABI）。
+- 不改变 `oakengine_*` 公开 facade 的任何既有签名（拆分/重写只许改实现，
+  不许动契约；新增内部 ABI 允许，但必须符合同一套头文件规则）。
+- 不做 big-bang：任何时刻整个系统都必须可构建、可测试、可发布。
+
+---
+
+## 2. 绞杀六步（每个模块的统一流程）
+
+对每一个模块 X，严格按以下顺序执行；每步有对应门禁（§5），不过门禁不进下一步。
+
+### Step 1 — 冻结 ABI
+- 评审模块对外 C ABI 头（公开 facade 已有部分直接复用；模块间内部调用需要的
+  新增内部头，按 `c-abi-migration-handoff.md` §6.1 的同一套规则写：纯 C 类型、
+  buf/size 约定、owned/borrowed 注释、错误码）。
+- 用门禁脚本生成 ABI 快照（§5-G1）并入库。**此后该头的任何改动都是显式评审行为。**
+
+### Step 2 — 物理拆分（C++ 实现原样搬出）
+- 新建 `liboakengine-<X>.so`：把该模块源码从 liboakengine 移入独立 CMake 目标；
+  原引擎内其他部分对它的 C++ 调用**全部改走它的 C ABI**。
+- 新库同样 visibility=hidden + 只导出 C 符号。
+- 过 G2：构建绿、全量 ctest 绿、符号审计绿、ABI diff = 0。
+- **此步不改任何行为**——只搬代码和改调用方式。发现行为必须改才能拆的，
+  停下来记录，先回去补 facade（回 Step 1）。
+
+### Step 3 — Rust 影子实现
+- `rust/<X>/` 建 cdylib crate，实现与 Step 1 完全相同的 C ABI。
+- cbindgen 生成的头与 C++ 头做规范化 diff（§5-G3），必须一致。
+- FFI 边界硬规则：`catch_unwind` 全包裹（panic 不得跨 FFI）、错误码语义逐条
+  对齐、owned/borrowed 生命周期按注释实现（`Box::into_raw` / 借用引用）、
+  回调线程语义按契约复现（见 §6.2）。
+
+### Step 4 — A/B 双跑
+- CMake 选项 `OAK_MODULE_<X>_IMPL=cpp|rust` 控制链接哪个实现。
+- 两种配置各自全量构建 + 全量 ctest + 金标准对比（§5-G4）。
+- **帧级一致**：渲染输出字节一致或 PSNR ≥ 50dB；**序列化 round-trip 字节一致**；
+  其余以测试断言为准。
+
+### Step 5 — 切换默认实现
+- 默认实现切到 rust；CI 三平台构建 + 全量测试。
+- C++ 实现保留一个发布周期作为回退选项（option 切回即可）。
+
+### Step 6 — 退役
+- 删除该模块的 C++ 实现与 cpp 构建分支；ABI 快照锁定为最终态；全量回归（G5 同项）。
+- 在 roadmap 记录该模块重写完成。
+
+---
+
+## 3. 模块图与拆分顺序
+
+### 3.1 依赖方向（单向，禁止循环；上层只经下层 C ABI 调用）
+
+```
+        app / oak-cli / oak-render-worker
+                     │
+            liboakengine-facade（壳：capi + 事件 + init）
+                     │
+   ┌────────┬────────┼─────────┬──────────┐
+ oaktask  oakrender  oakplugin  oakaudio  oakserialize
+   │        │         │          │          │
+   └────────┴────┬───┴──────────┴──────────┘
+                 │
+        oakmodel（节点图 + 项目模型 + 时间线模型）
+                 │
+        ┌────────┼─────────┐
+     oakcodec  liboakcore  oakbackend（GPU 插件：oakgl/oakvulkan/未来的 Rust 后端）
+        │
+   ffmpeg_bridge（已是 C ABI .so）
+```
+
+**关键架构事实（拆分顺序的依据）**：
+- `Node` 及其子类簇（Project/Folder/Footage/Sequence/Block/Track/Clip/Gap/
+  Transition/Subtitle/各效果节点）是 C++ 继承绑死的**不可拆分类型簇**——
+  跨模块做 C++ 继承不可能不导出 C++ 符号。因此它们必须整体作为一个模块
+  （oakmodel）处理，重写时也作为一个重写单元。这是本计划最大的一个拆分
+  粒度结论，不要再试图把 Block/Track 从 Node 里拆出去。
+- `oakcore`（liboakcore.so）已是纯 C ABI 独立库，是天然的第一块 Rust 试验田
+  （见 M0）。
+- GPU 后端已是插件，重写线与主线解耦（见 §7）。
+
+### 3.2 执行顺序（依赖最少、Qt 最少、验证最容易的在前）
+
+| 批次 | 模块 | 内容 | 前置依赖 | 主要风险 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M0 | **oakcore** | liboakcore 整体（rational/timecode/bezier/samplebuffer/audioparams，Qt-free） | 无 | 极低；工具链试金石 |
+| M1 | **oakaudio** | AudioProcessor、AudioSynchronizer、AudioLevelMeter、波形计算 | oakcore | 低；顺带消掉 AudioProcessor 豁免项 |
+| M2 | **oakcodec** | decoder/encoder/conform/proxy | ffmpeg_bridge | 中；FFmpeg 行为复刻 |
+| M3 | **oakserialize** | node/project/serializer/*（XML 项目文件） | oakmodel（经 facade node/project 族） | 中；round-trip 必须字节一致 |
+| M4 | **oakundo** | UndoCommand/UndoStack/MultiUndoCommand | oakmodel（经 facade） | 中；全局调用点多 |
+| M5 | **oakrender** | RenderManager/ticket/watcher/cache/PreviewAutoCacher/ColorProcessor | oakmodel、oakcodec | 高；线程与 OCIO |
+| M6 | **oakmodel** | Node/NodeInput/keyframe/traverser/factory/Project/Folder/Footage/Sequence/Block/Track/效果节点 | oakcore、oakcodec | 最高；最大类型簇 |
+| M7 | **oaktask** | Task/TaskManager 及各任务类型 | oakmodel、oakrender | 中；QtConcurrent |
+| M8 | **facade 壳 + 收尾** | capi 各实现、事件注册表、coreengine、config、plugin(OFX) | 全部 | 中；事件机制 Rust 化 |
+
+每个批次内部都走 §2 的六步。**严格串行**：上一批次 G5 完成才开下一批次
+（M0 例外，可与 ABI 迁移战役收尾并行准备）。
+
+**为什么 oakmodel 排第六而不是第一**：它是依赖中心，先拆它会导致所有模块
+都要先等它的内部 ABI 定型；先拆叶子模块可以用公开 facade（node.h/project.h/
+timeline.h，本就是为外部消费设计的）充当模块间缝，缝的质量先被实战检验，
+最后拆 oakmodel 时它的对外接口已经是稳定态。
+
+---
+
+## 4. 阶段计划
+
+### 4.1 阶段 S0：前置确认（0 成本，只是检查）
+- 对照 §1.1 逐条核对 ABI 迁移战役验收结果。未完成则停止，回到交接文档。
+
+### 4.2 阶段 S1：重写基础设施（第一批真正的活）
+1. **Rust 工具链接入**：仓库根建 `rust/` workspace；CMake 集成用 Corrosion
+   （cmake+cargo 标准方案）；`cargo`/`cbindgen` 版本锁定并写进构建文档。
+   禁止要求全局安装 cargo 之外的 Rust 组件（CI 可复现）。
+2. **门禁脚本固化**（全部进 CI）：
+    - `scripts/abi-dump.sh`：对每个相关 .so 导出 `oakengine_*`/`oakcore_*` 符号 +
+      头文件规范化哈希，产出快照文件；`scripts/abi-check.sh` 与入库快照 diff。
+    - `scripts/golden-render.sh`：oak-cli render demo.mp4 指定帧 → PPM，
+      与金标准比对（字节一致或 PSNR ≥ 50dB）；`oak-cli transcode` PPM 同理；
+      project_with_footage.ove 序列化 round-trip 字节一致；worker E2E harness。
+    - `scripts/symbol-audit.sh`：现有 nm 三件套的脚本化（app 侧 `U _ZN5olive`、
+      各 .so `T _Z`、facade 测试覆盖审计）。
+3. **M0：liboakcore Rust 重写**（试点）。完整走六步，目的是把工具链、A/B 流程、
+   门禁全部打通并暴露问题。它是全仓库最小最干净的模块，失败成本最低。
+   M0 没全绿之前，不允许排产任何后续模块。
+
+### 4.3 阶段 S2–S8：M1–M8
+按 §3.2 表格逐模块执行。每模块的"模块档案"（边界清单、Qt 依赖清单、
+信号清单、线程语义、验证重点）在 Step 1 时补写到本文 §6 对应小节。
+
+---
+
+## 5. 验证门禁（每步必须过，脚本化、进 CI）
+
+| 门禁 | 触发步 | 内容 | 通过标准 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| G0 | 每批开始 | 全量构建 + 全量 ctest + golden-render 基线快照 | 全绿，快照入库 |
+| G1 | Step 1 | abi-dump 快照 | 与上一基线 diff 仅含本批新增 |
+| G2 | Step 2 | 构建 + 全量 ctest + 新库符号审计 + ABI diff | 全绿；新库导出仅 C；diff=0 |
+| G3 | Step 3 | cbindgen 头 vs C++ 头规范化 diff；crate 单测 | diff=0；单测全过 |
+| G4 | Step 4 | 双实现配置各自全量测试 + golden 对比 | 两轮全绿；帧/序列化一致 |
+| G5 | Step 5 | 三平台构建 + 全量测试 + 性能抽测 | 全绿；渲染帧耗时回退 ≤10% |
+| G6 | Step 6 | 删除 C++ 实现后全量回归 + ABI 快照锁定 | 全绿；快照入库 |
+
+- **性能抽测**：golden-render 脚本记录渲染耗时，Rust 版慢于 C++ 版 10% 以上
+  必须查明原因（允许记录后放行，但不允许无声劣化）。
+- **回退规则**：任何门禁失败 → 停止该模块，切回 cpp 实现（Step 4 之后才有
+  可切对象；之前是天然回退态），记录原因，系统保持全绿。
+
+---
+
+## 6. 跨模块设计约束（全部钉死）
+
+### 6.1 信号/通知的 Rust 化
+- engine 的 QObject 信号是当前变更通知机制；capi/events.cpp 用 `dynamic_cast`
+  校验订阅 handle 的族类型。**Rust 对象没有 dynamic_cast**，因此在 M5（oakmodel
+  前置）之前必须引入**句柄类型标签约定**：所有 facade 句柄指向的对象首字段为
+  `uint32_t type_tag`（枚举值入 ABI 头），events.cpp 的族校验改为读标签。
+  这是对 events.cpp 的授权内改动，需配事件实测用例。
+- Rust 模块的变更通知：经同一张 oakengine_event 注册表发射（事件机制是
+  app 侧唯一通道，Rust 模块只是换了发射端的实现语言）。
+
+### 6.2 线程语义（ABI 契约，Rust 必须逐条复现）
+- facade 回调/事件 = 发射线程同步调用（Qt::DirectConnection 等价），引擎对象
+  属 GUI 线程；回调内不得反调改同一对象的编辑原语。
+- 渲染在后台线程（当前 QtConcurrent）；Rust 侧线程模型自选（std::thread/
+  rayon/自建池），但**回调触发线程与顺序语义必须与原实现一致**；worker
+  NDJSON 协议的线程行为不得改变。
+- 每模块 Step 1 时必须把该模块涉及的线程归属写进模块档案。
+
+### 6.3 内存与生命周期
+- owned/borrowed 规则按各 facade 头注释执行；Rust 侧 owned 句柄 `Box::into_raw`，
+  free 函数 `Box::from_raw` 回收；borrowed 句柄不接管析构。
+- 禁止在 FFI 边界传递任何 Rust 特有类型（String/Vec/ trait object）；边界上只有
+  C 类型，与现有头文件规则相同。
+
+### 6.4 错误与 panic
+- panic 不得跨 FFI（`catch_unwind` 全包裹，映射为 `OAKENGINE_E_FAILED` +
+  last_error 字符串）。错误码语义与 C++ 实现逐条一致（A/B 对比时断言）。
+
+### 6.5 全局单例
+- Config/NodeFactory/RenderManager/AudioManager 等单例，Rust 侧用 `OnceCell`/
+  显式注册表实现；初始化/销毁时机挂在 `oakengine_init`/`oakengine_shutdown`
+  既有钩子上，不引入新的隐式初始化。
+
+### 6.6 第三方库
+- FFmpeg：继续经 `ffmpeg_bridge`（已是 C ABI），Rust 模块链接桥库而非直接绑 FFmpeg。
+- OCIO：ColorManager 是 C++ API 重度用户，M5 时评估：薄 C 封装进 facade vs
+  保留 C++ 微库长期共存（允许作为长期 C++ 孤岛，写入 roadmap）。
+- Qt：只允许 facade 壳与 app 侧使用；M1 起的各引擎模块实现内**不得新增 Qt 依赖**
+  （QtCore 容器可暂用，但不得新增 QObject 信号、moc 类）。
+
+---
+
+## 7. GPU 后端平行线
+
+- oakgl/oakvulkan 已是 `renderbackend_c.h` C ABI 插件，与主线解耦。
+- Rust 后端（建议 wgpu 起步）作为**新插件**并行开发，通过同一 ABI 被
+  DynamicRenderer 加载；验收用现有 Backends gtest（Vulkan 用例即现成的
+  A/B 对比器——同一测试分别加载两个后端跑）。
+- 不替代主线任何模块门禁；独立排期，不阻塞 M1–M8。
+
+---
+
+## 8. 风险登记册（开工前评审，施工中持续更新）
+
+| 风险 | 等级 | 对策 |
+|---|---|---|
+| oakmodel 类型簇过大，六步周期过长 | 高 | Step 2 允许分子批拆分（先项目模型后效果节点），但 ABI 一次冻结 |
+| 线程语义偏差导致偶发黑屏/崩溃 | 高 | G4 双跑必须包含 worker E2E 与 Backends viewer 用例；引入压力重复（每用例 ×10） |
+| OCIO 无法 Rust 化 | 中 | 允许 C++ 孤岛（§6.6），不影响其他模块 |
+| QtConcurrent 行为差异 | 中 | M5/M7 档案逐条记录并发模式；A/B 含并发压力 |
+| cbindgen 头漂移 | 中 | G3 规范化 diff 进 CI，漂移即红 |
+| 构建复杂度（cargo+cmake）拖慢迭代 | 中 | Corrosion 单一入口；文档固化；禁止手工 rustc |
+| 行为不可拆（Step 2 发现必须改行为才能拆） | 中 | 回 Step 1 补 facade； roadmap 记录；禁止带行为变更进 Step 2 |
+| 性能劣化 | 低 | G5 抽测阈值；剖析后放行或回退 |
+
+---
+
+## 9. 里程碑摘要（可直接抄进项目计划）
+
+1. **S1 完成**：Rust 工具链 + 门禁脚本进 CI；M0（liboakcore）G6 退役。
+2. **M1–M2 完成**：音频 DSP 与编解码 Rust 化；AudioProcessor 豁免项消除。
+3. **M3–M4 完成**：序列化与 undo Rust 化；项目文件 round-trip 金标准常青。
+4. **M5 完成**：渲染管线 Rust 化（OCIO 孤岛与否已裁决并记录）。
+5. **M6 完成**：oakmodel Rust 化——**最大里程碑**，此后 liboakengine 主体为 Rust。
+6. **M7–M8 完成**：任务系统与 facade 壳 Rust 化；liboakengine.so（C++ 版）正式退役。
+7. **GPU 平行线**：Rust 后端插件经 Backends 双后端测试验收。

+# Oak 主界面 UI 改版计划
+
+> 本文是主界面重新设计的执行手册，面向 DeepSeek Flash（**不识字图，本文全部
+> 用文字精确定义目标形态**）。详细程度对齐 `../r5-app-migration-guide.md`。
+> 工作分支：`c-abi-migration`。**启动前提：R5（C ABI app 侧迁移）验收完成之
+> 后**；启动后可与 Google Test 统一迁移并行——协调规则见 §2。
+> 依据：`design/Oak-UI设计图-主界面-标注版.png`、`...-效果栈版.png`、
+> `...-节点编辑器版.png`（共 10 项关键改动，本文逐项落地）。
+

+
+节点编辑器视图（与序列查看器同组切换、占中央最大面板）：
+```
+┌ 节点编辑器（中央最大面板）
+│  [+] [-] [适配]                                    ┌ 检查器(同效果栈) ┐
+│  ┌ 第一稿.mp4[视频] · 00:00:00:00–00:04:18:18 ┐   │                  │

+└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+```
+
+**核心原则：效果栈（检查器）与节点图是同一份节点数据的两种视图**——检查器按
+「媒体 → 变换 → OCIO LUT → 输出」自上而下线性排卡片；节点编辑器把同一份数据
+画成图。默认用户像传统软件一样在检查器里线性工作，需要分支合成时切到节点
+编辑器。
+
+## 2. 执行前提与并行协调
+
+### 2.1 执行前提：R5 验收完成后启动
+
+**本计划在 R5（C ABI app 侧迁移）验收完成之前不启动。** 这不是保守，是
+依赖关系：
+
+- WP4（检查器·效果栈）落在 `app/widget/nodeparamview/`、WP2（时间线轨道
+  头）落在 `app/widget/timelinewidget/`、WP5（节点编辑器移位）落在
+  `app/widget/nodeview/`——这些都是 R5 符号消除的主战场。R5 先把这些文件
+  的 engine 调用点换到 facade（行为不变），本计划再在其上做 UI 重构，
+  面对的才是干净的 facade 边界；提前动手只会和 R5 互相踩踏。
+- R5 完成后不存在文件重叠问题，**全部 WP 无需错峰**，按 §4 顺序执行即可。
+
+启动时仍需遵守的红线（R5 的成果，永久有效）：
+
+- **禁止**：在本计划里改 `oakengine_*` 签名、新建 engine 命令类、或把
+  engine 源码再编进 app。
+- 全部改动限 **app 侧 UI 代码**（`app/`），不加 engine 符号。
+
+### 2.2 与 Google Test 统一迁移（`gtest-migration-guide.md`）的并行协调
+
+**结论：可以完全并行，无错峰要求。** 两份计划的文件域不相交：
+
+| 计划 | 动的文件 |
+|---|---|
+| UI 改版（本文） | `app/`（widget、panel、window、dialog、ts 翻译） |
+| GTest 统一迁移 | `tests/`、`engine/tests/`、`core/tests/` 及三处测试 CMake |
+
+唯一的接触点与规则：
+
+- **`tests/gtest/`**：GTest 迁移明确"不动已有 gtest"；本计划 §5 要求新增
+  UI 逻辑用例，新用例**直接加进 `tests/gtest/` 现有 `olive-gtest` 目标**，
+  不新建测试二进制。两边若同时改 `tests/gtest/CMakeLists.txt`，后提交者
+  普通三路合并即可（都是追加行，不会语义冲突）。
+- **ctest 基线**：GTest 迁移的硬门槛是"用例总数只增不减"；本计划只**新增**
+  用例、不删不改旧用例，天然满足。两边都以全量
+  `ctest --output-on-failure` 绿为提交前提，谁先跑谁后跑无所谓。
+- **共享入口约定**：ctest 仍是唯一运行入口（gtest 仅编写框架），本计划
+  新增用例同样遵守，不引入别的测试框架或独立 runner。
+- **已知 flaky**（`oak_cli_transcode`、`oakengine_export_test`、
+  `olive-gtest` 单次失败需单独重跑）是两个计划共同的背景噪音，判定规则
+  相同：单独重跑一次，连续两次失败才算回归。
+
+## 3. 工作包（WP1–WP10，对应设计图 10 项）
+
+### WP1 取消独立「工具」面板 → 31px 工具条
+- **现状**：`app/panel/tool/tool.{h,cpp}` 是独立停靠面板，~8% 屏幕仅放 14 个图标。
+- **目标**：删除该面板；在时间线（`app/widget/timelinewidget/`）上方加一条 31px
+  工具条，承载 14 个工具图标 + 吸附开关 + 缩放滑块 + 轨道高度滑块。
+- **文件**：删/改 `app/panel/tool/`；`app/widget/timelinewidget/timelinewidget.{h,cpp}`
+  顶部加工具条；`app/panel/CMakeLists.txt`、`app/panel/panelmanager.cpp` 注册点。
+- **验证**：工具条全部按钮功能与原面板一致；布局保存/恢复无该面板。
+
+### WP2 时间线全宽贯通 + 轨道头 180px
+- **现状**：时间线未全宽；轨道头窄，无统一的 显示/静音/独奏/锁定 与 V/A 编号命名。
+- **目标**：时间线全宽；轨道头加宽至 180px 贴住轨道；视频轨「显示」、音频轨
+  「静音/独奏」、统一「锁定」；轨道以 `V2/V1/A1/A2` 编号 + 用途名（与主流 NLE 一致）。
+- **文件**：`app/widget/timelinewidget/`（timelinewidget、trackview、trackviewitem、
+  timelineview）。**前提：R5 已完成 Track/ClipBlock facade 化，本 WP 在其上重构。**
+- **验证**：轨道头控件改变 track 的 lock/mute/solo/show 状态；命名正确；全宽布局。
+
+### WP3 双监看并列（源 + 节目）
+- **现状**：`app/panel/footageviewer/`（源）与 `app/panel/sequenceviewer/`（节目）分开，
+  审素材对位需切换标签。
+- **目标**：左右并排常显；素材查看器带独立走带控制（transport）。
+- **文件**：`app/window/mainwindow/mainwindow.cpp` 布局；`app/panel/footageviewer/`、
+  `app/panel/sequenceviewer/`（KDDockWidgets 分组/dock 关系）。
+- **验证**：两查看器同屏并列；源查看器独立走带；布局可保存/恢复。
+
+### WP4 参数编辑器 → 「检查器·效果栈」
+- **现状**：`app/widget/nodeparamview/` 是参数编辑器（item 列表 + 标题栏 + 关键帧控件）。
+- **目标**：改为「检查器」面板（与「历史记录」同组标签）。自上而下线性排：
+  「媒体 · xxx.mp4」源卡 + 效果卡（变换、OCIO LUT、音量…）。**卡片规范**：
+  标题行 = ≡(拖拽排序) ▼(折叠) 名称 ✓(启停) ×(移除)；底部「+ 添加效果」即搜即加。
+  每属性行右侧保留关键帧按钮（现 `nodeparamviewkeyframecontrol`）。
+- **文件**：`app/widget/nodeparamview/`（nodeparamview、nodeparamviewitem、
+  nodeparamviewitemtitlebar、nodeparamviewdockarea、nodeparamviewwidgetbridge）；
+  新增「检查器」容器/卡片模型。**前提：R5 已完成 Node 大族 facade 化，本 WP 在其上重构。**
+- **验证**：卡片折叠/拖拽排序/启停/移除全部生效且写入节点图（undoable）；
+  与节点编辑器视图数据一致；「+ 添加效果」可搜可加。
+
+### WP5 节点编辑器移至中央最大面板 + 缩放/小地图
+- **现状**：`app/widget/nodeview/` 节点编辑器非中央主区，大图易迷路。
+- **目标**：移到中央最大面板（与序列查看器同组切换）；新增缩放控件（+/−/适配）
+  与右下角小地图。
+- **文件**：`app/widget/nodeview/`（nodeview、nodeviewcontext、nodeviewminimap）、
+  `app/panel/node/`、`app/window/mainwindow/mainwindow.cpp`。**前提：R5 已完成 Node 大族 facade 化，本 WP 在其上重构。**
+- **验证**：节点编辑器占中央；缩放/适配/小地图可用；大图导航不迷路。
+
+### WP6 音频监视器 → 26px 电平条
+- **现状**：`app/widget/audiomonitor/`、`app/panel/audiomonitor/` 占一个完整面板。
+- **目标**：改为 26px 超薄电平条，贴附在节目查看器右侧常显，释放一个面板。
+- **文件**：`app/widget/audiomonitor/`、`app/panel/sequenceviewer/`（宿主）、
+  `app/panel/audiomonitor/`（去面板化）。
+- **验证**：电平条 26px 常显、随播放电平跳动；原面板释放；布局可恢复。
+
+### WP7 新增全局状态栏
+- **现状**：`app/window/mainwindow/mainstatusbar.{h,cpp}` 仅显示 TaskManager 摘要。
+- **目标**：全局状态栏显示：就绪状态、缓存、代理、自动保存时间（左）；
+  当前时间码/时长、帧率、分辨率（右）。
+- **文件**：`app/window/mainwindow/mainstatusbar.{h,cpp}`、`app/window/mainwindow/
+  mainwindow.cpp`。
+- **验证**：各项信息实时刷新；与序列状态/缓存/代理/自动保存一致。
+
+### WP8 查看器细节
+- **现状**：填充条为蓝色；缩放/安全框入口不全；信息芯片不全；有与时间线重复的标尺。
+- **目标**：填充条改黑；查看器右上角提供缩放与安全框按钮；信息芯片标注
+  分辨率与帧率；移除与时间线重复的标尺。
+- **文件**：`app/panel/footageviewer/`、`app/panel/sequenceviewer/`、
+  `app/widget/viewer/`（viewer、viewerdisplay）。
+- **验证**：外观与信息符合 §1 描述；无重复标尺。
+
+### WP9 菜单访问键补全
+- **现状**：`app/window/mainwindow/mainmenu.{h,cpp}` 的「窗口」无访问键 (W)。
+- **目标**：「窗口」加 `(W)`，与系统及其他菜单项一致。
+- **文件**：`app/window/mainwindow/mainmenu.{h,cpp}`。
+- **验证**：菜单访问键完整一致。
+
+### WP10 文案与格式统一
+- **现状**：History 未汉化；项目面板日期为英文格式；首选项有英文残留。
+- **目标**：History → 历史记录；项目面板日期改 `YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm`（如
+  `2026-06-03 20:25`）；首选项英文残留（Behavior、Enable hover focus、
+  `1 minute(s)` 等）全部汉化。
+- **文件**：`app/panel/history/`、项目面板（`app/widget/projectexplorer/`）、
+  首选项（`app/dialog/preferences/`）、`app/ts/*.ts` 翻译。
+- **验证**：文案全部汉化、日期格式统一。
+
+## 4. 执行顺序
+
+R5 已验收完成（§2.1），无错峰约束。建议先做无依赖的布局项热身，再做
+重构量大的三个 WP：
+
+```
+第一波（布局类，互相独立）: WP1 → WP3 → WP6 → WP7 → WP8 → WP9 → WP10
+第二波（重构类，建议在 R5 facade 化后的干净边界上做）:
+  WP4（检查器）→ WP5（节点编辑器）→ WP2（时间线轨道头）
+```
+
+**每 WP 闭环**：现状 grep → 实现 → 全量构建 0 error → 全量 ctest 44/44 绿
+（UI 改动不得引入回归）→ 立即提交 → roadmap 补记。
+
+## 5. 测试要求（沿用项目规则）
+
+- 所有测试用 **Google Test**（`CONTRIBUTING.md` 已立规）。
+- 检查器卡片模型、效果栈↔节点图数据一致性、轨道头控件状态、状态栏信息、
+  工具条功能：补 Google Test 用例（`tests/gtest/`，`gtest_discover_tests`）。
+- UI 行为改动以现有 `olive-gtest` 不回归为底线；新增可测逻辑（卡片模型、
+  视图模型）必须有单测。
+- 需要显示的用例沿用 offscreen QPA；渲染相关用例沿用 `GTEST_SKIP` 模式。
+
+## 6. 不做
+
+- 不改 `oakengine_*` 公共 API（见 `riir.md` 的 API 冻结保证）。
+- 不动 engine 内部实现、不动 R5 的 facade 工作。
+- 不重写底层渲染/播放路径；本计划只改 UI 布局、容器与交互。
+- 不做 AI 相关 UI（属 `ai-agent-design.md` 范围，另行）。

+## 0. 当前已验证状态（接手先复核，不要采信转述）
+
+```bash
+cmake --build cmake-build-debug -j$(nproc)          # 必须 0 error
+cd cmake-build-debug && ctest --output-on-failure -j$(nproc)   # 必须 44/44 绿
+nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"   # 当前 395
+```
+
+- 测试：**44/44 全绿**（R1–R4 facade 扩容已修复并通过）。
+- 符号：**395**（`nm` 实测，按类统计见 §3）。
+- facade 族已全部存在且带测试：node / timeline / project / footage / preview /
+  audio / color / config / disk / encoding / events / gizmo / lut / plugin /
+  proxy / serializer / sync / task / traverse / undo / videoparams / viewer /
+  worker / playback / renderer / app。
+- 事件 ID 已分配到 143，新事件从 **144** 起。
+
+## 1. 关于"必须全文件集群重写、无法增量"——论断不成立
+
+DS 报告称 R5 的符号"因 Q_OBJECT + 虚函数链 + 信号/槽耦合，必须全文件集群
+同时重写，无法增量"。**这是错误的**，证据：
+
+1. **前一次战役就是增量完成的**：同一套符号从 557 → 162，按 B1–B11a 分批、
+   每批独立闭环。被回滚抹掉的是 app 调用点，不是方法。
+2. **本阶段已经证明可增量**：符号已从回滚后的高点降到 395，全部是逐文件
+   替换得来的，没有一次"集群重写"。
+3. **facade 已就位**：R5 需要的 C API 族全部存在。剩下的工作是把 app 里的
+   `olive::X::method()` 调用换成 `oakengine_x_method()`，**不重写任何 engine
+   类**，自然不存在"虚函数链重写"。
+4. **"信号/槽耦合"已被事件机制解决**：`oakengine_event_subscribe` +
+   `app/engineeventbridge.{h,cpp}` 就是替代 `connect(engineObj, &Engine::sig, ...)`
+   的标准通道（SOP 见 roadmap 附 D）。不需要为消信号而重写类。
+
+结论：**R5 是机械的、可逐文件验证的调用点替换，按 §4 的顺序增量推进。**
+"集群重写"是停工的借口，不是技术结论。
+
+## 2. 增量方法（每个文件的标准动作）
+
+对每一个 app 文件，按这个顺序做，做完立即提交：
+
+1. **grep 该文件的 engine 直接引用**：`olive::X::`、`connect(` 到 engine 对象、
+   `new SomeCommand(`（engine 命令类）、engine 头 include。
+2. **逐点替换**为 facade：
+   - 方法调用 → 对应 `oakengine_*` 函数（§4 表）。
+   - `connect(engineObj, &Engine::sig, this, ...)` →
+     `bridge->subscribe(handle, OAKENGINE_EVENT_*)` + 连 bridge 的 Qt 信号
+     （没有 bridge 成员就 `new EngineEventBridge(this)`）。
+   - `new EngineCommand(...)` 进 undo 栈 → facade 的 undoable 原语
+     （多数已有；确实缺的按 §5.2 补 facade，不要新建 app 侧命令类）。
+   - undo 压栈一律 `oakengine_undo_push(command, name)`（**2 个参数**，全局栈，
+     不传栈句柄；`Core::undo_stack()` 返回的 `void*` 只作事件订阅 handle）。
+3. **删不再需要的 engine 头 include**；加对应 `oakengine/*.h`。
+4. **构建 + 该文件相关测试 + `nm` 双度量**，符号应净减。
+5. **立即提交**，提交信息写清文件与消掉的符号数。
+
+**禁做**：为消符号新建 app 侧 engine 命令子类、给 facade 加"stub 实现"
+（见 §6 红线）、为省事把 engine 源码再编进 app。
+
+## 3. 剩余符号分布（395，nm 实测，按类）
+
+执行顺序按"依赖最少、符号最密集、facade 最现成"排。每行：`数量 类 — 主战场文件 — 用哪个 facade 族`。
+
+### 第一批：工具/服务类（快、独立，先清 ~60）
+
+| 数量 | 类 | 主战场 | facade 族 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 9 | QtUtils | 各 widget | 纯搬 app（B10 模式，`app/common/`，hidden visibility，见 §6-R1） |
+| 9 | EncodingParams | dialog/export/*、speedduration | `oakengine/encoding.h`（已含 OakEngineEncodingParams 全字段） |
+| 7 | ExportFormat | dialog/export/*、sequence 对话框 | `oakengine/encoding.h`（format/codec 元数据） |
+| 11 | AudioManager | viewer、core、preferencesaudiotab | `oakengine/audio.h` + 事件 140 |
+| 7 | PreviewAutoCacher / 7 RenderTicketWatcher / 5 RenderTicket / 3 RenderManager | viewer.cpp、timeruler | `oakengine/preview.h`（cacher + OakEnginePreviewRequest） |

+| 2 | Config | preferences、mainmenu、core | `oakengine/config.h` + `app/common/configwrapper.h` |
+
+### 第二批：项目/素材/序列数据类（~90）
+
+| 数量 | 类 | 主战场 | facade 族 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 10 | Project / 7 Folder / 10 Footage / 5 Sequence / 5 TrackList | projectexplorer、projectproperties、footageproperties、projectviewmodel | `oakengine/project.h` + `footage.h` + `timeline.h`（folder 族、`oakengine_folder_move_child`） |
+| 17 | EngineCore | core.cpp、mainwindow、各 panel | `oakengine/app.h`（`Core` 已组合转发） |
+| 9 | ViewerOutput | viewer、footageviewer、各 panel | `oakengine/viewer.h`（workarea、playhead、params） |
+| 15 | ColorManager / 5 ColorProcessor / 1 ManagedColor | manageddisplay、colordialog、colorbutton、scopebase、colorvalueswidget、projectproperties | `oakengine/color.h` + `app/widget/manageddisplay/colorprocessorhandle.h` |
+| 9 | NodeGroup / 6 MultiCamNode | nodeview、multicam 面板 | `oakengine/node.h`（group passthrough、multicam 族） |
+
+### 第三批：时间线/标记/命令类（~70）
+
+| 数量 | 类 | 主战场 | facade 族 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 13 | Track / 12 ClipBlock / 8 TimelineWorkArea / 6 TimelineMarker | timelinewidget、timeruler、seekablewidget、trackview、timelineview | `oakengine/timeline.h`（track/clip/marker/workarea 全族） |
+| 6 | Task / 6 NodeTraverser | taskview、export、viewer、nodeparamview | `oakengine/task.h`、`traverse.h` |
+| 5+ | UndoStack / 各 Marker/Node 命令类（MarkerAdd/ChangeColor/ChangeName/ChangeTime/Remove、NodeAdd/EdgeAdd/EdgeRemove/Rename/OverrideColor/ParamSetStandardValue、FolderAddChild、TimelineAddTrack、TrackListRippleToolCommand） | historywidget、nodeview、timelinewidget、nodeparamview、projectviewmodel | `oakengine/undo.h` + 各 undoable 原语；**不要**新建 app 侧命令类（`TrackListRippleToolCommand` 是遗留评估点，最后单独定） |
+
+### 第四批：Node 大族（~55）
+
+| 数量 | 类 | 主战场 | facade 族 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 40 | Node / 7 NodeKeyframe / 3 NodeFactory | nodeview、nodeparamview、curvewidget、keyframeview、nodetableview、nodevaluetree、multicam、nodecombobox | `oakengine/node.h`（~60 函数：输入元数据、值读写、关键帧、dragger、undoable 批量、context、group、multicam） |
+| 7 | TextGizmo / 3 DraggableGizmo | viewerdisplay | `oakengine/gizmo.h`（POD） |
+| 各 1–2 | CrossDissolveTransition / SubtitleBlock / TransitionBlock / VolumeNode / TransformDistortNode / SolidGenerator / TextGeneratorV3 / ShapeNode | timeline 工具、nodeview | `oakengine_node_create_undoable` + input id getter（B4c 模式） |
+
+### 第五批：GPU/帧路径（~15，R6 收口）
+
+| 数量 | 类 | 主战场 | facade 族 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 5 Frame / 3 Renderer / 2 OpenGLRenderer / 1 DynamicRenderer / 2 Texture / 1 RenderManager | viewerdisplay、manageddisplay | `oakengine/renderer.h`（texture/frame 句柄，R6 已完成 B7 桥移除） |
+
+## 4. 每批闭环（不可省）
+
+```
+nm 基线 → 逐文件替换（§2）→ 构建 0 error → 全量 ctest 44/44 绿
+→ nm 双度量（族符号 + 总数净减）→ 立即提交 → roadmap 附 C 补记
+```
+
+**全量 ctest 不绿不得进入下一批。** 已知 flaky（`oak_cli_transcode`、
+`oakengine_export_test`、`olive-gtest` 偶发 SEGFAULT）单独重跑两次仍败才算真失败。
+
+## 5. 缺的 facade 怎么办
+
+绝大多数调用点已被现有族覆盖。确实缺的时候：
+
+1. **先查**：该功能是否已被某族覆盖（grep `oakengine_*` 头）。多数"缺"是没找到现成函数。
+2. **能搬 app 的纯工具**（Qt 类型、纯函数、纯数据）→ 搬 `app/common/`，
+   对该源文件加 `-fvisibility=hidden`（§6-R1），不新增 C API。
+3. **必须跨边界的** → 最小 facade 族（只包 app 实际用到的成员），
+   头文件规则同现有族（纯 C 类型、buf/size、owned/borrowed 注释、错误码）。
+   **新 C 函数必须配单元测试**（注册 `make_oakengine_test`）。
+4. **undoable 编辑** → 照 `engine/src/capi/node.cpp` 的 `push_or_run` 模式；
+   用户语义上的单次操作必须单条 undo（`oakengine_folder_move_child` 是样板）。
+
+## 6. 红线（本阶段修过的真实 bug，不得再犯）
+
+- **R1（ODR/符号介入）**：app 侧严禁用与 engine 相同限定名定义非 inline 符号。
+  确需同名本地副本，必须对该源文件 `-fvisibility=hidden`（`app/CMakeLists.txt`
+  有样板；`#pragma GCC visibility` 对已被 engine 头以 default 声明过的符号无效）。
+- **R2（禁 no-op stub）**：facade 函数不许返回假成功（`oakengine_export_render_
+  with_params` 曾是 stub；`oakengine_clip_set_media_in` 曾是直接写不可撤销）。
+  不可撤销的改图操作就是 bug——`set_media_in` 不入栈导致 `project_undo` 误删 clip。
+- **R3（undo 语义）**：`oakengine_undo_push(command, name)` 只 2 参。删除任何
+  `push` 必须同步接上命令执行路径（命令不压栈 = 静默不执行 + 泄漏）。
+- **R4（单位与索引）**：facade 的 `time_ts` 是**秒**（toggle/has/closest/dragger/
+  get_input_at_time 等）；keyframe 的 `track`/`track_for_time` 是 **1-based**，
+  `set_*_many` 的 tracks 是 **0-based**；序列/clip 的 ts 用 `timestamp_to_time`
+  换算，不许硬编码 `/30`。
+- **R5（POD 构造）**：`VideoParams` 用带参构造（四参 w/h/format/channels，depth=1；
+  默认构造 depth=0 会让 Vulkan 上传 0 字节纯黑）；`Rational` 分子是 **32 位 int**，
+  哨兵值用 `INT_MAX`（`RATIONAL_MAX`），不许 `INT64_MAX`（溢出成负数）。
+- **R6（engine 语义边界）**：`Track::is_range_free` 排除 GapBlock；probe 句柄
+  （`oakengine_footage_probe`）不带项目节点，import-only 族必须返回 E_INVALID；
+  `oakengine_sequence_add_sequence_clip` 必须查间接循环嵌套（上游依赖图含目标
+  序列即拒绝），否则真成环导致 `invalidate_cache` 数万帧递归栈溢出。
+- **R7（buf/size 约定）**：`string_to_buf` 传 NULL 也返回长度；返回 `>0` 的
+  长度查询不得对 NULL buf 特判返回 0（`group_add_input_passthrough` 曾犯）。
+- **R8（接手验证）**：任何交接后先全量构建 + 全量 ctest + nm 复核，再动手；
+  不采信上一手的完成声明（包括本文 §0，以你实测为准）。
+
+## 7. 里程碑
+
+1. 第一批（工具/服务）清零 → 总数应跌破 ~330。
+2. 第二批（项目/素材/序列）清零 → ~240。
+3. 第三批（时间线/命令）清零 → ~170。
+4. 第四批（Node 大族）清零 → ~115。
+5. 第五批（GPU）+ B11c/B11d 收口 → 只剩豁免清单（AudioProcessor 4 +
+   Block/Track::staticMetaObject = 6）→ `nm -D --defined-only liboakengine.so
+   | grep -c " T _Z"` = 0 → 全量终验。

+
+```
+nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"   # 58
+```
+
+从 88 消除至 58（-30）。G1（Node 信号清零，-22）、G2（渲染族信号 + RenderManager，
+-8）已完成。G3（UndoCommand C ABI）已替换直接调用但符号从 inline 拉入。
+G4（豁免落实）进行中：58 符号逐条写入 §6.4 豁免清单（6 类理由）。
+
+| 簇 | 数 | 批次 | 状态 |

+| 渲染族（Renderer/PlaybackCache/Frame/DynamicRenderer/DraggableGizmo/Texture/OpenGLRenderer/ColorProcessor/AudioWaveformSync/AudioSynchronizer） | 25 | G2 |
+| 长尾（NodeValue 4、ManagedColor 4、VideoParams 3、UndoCommand 3、TimelineMarker 2、Sequence 2、RenderManager 2、ViewerOutput 1、UndoStack 1、SubtitleBlock 1、ShapeNodeBase 1、Project 1、MultiCamNode 1、FrameHashCache 1、AudioWaveformCache 1） | 28 | G3 |
+| 豁免候选（AudioProcessor 5、plugin 4） | 9 | G4 |
+
+## 1. 批次 G1：Node 信号清零（26 符号，主攻）
+
+**作战地图**：53 处 `connect(x, &Node::signal, ...)`，11 个文件
+（按此顺序做，从依赖少的开始）：
+
+1. `app/widget/nodeview/nodeviewitem.cpp`、`nodeviewcontext.cpp`、
+   `nodeview.cpp`
+2. `app/widget/nodeparamview/nodeparamviewitem.cpp`、
+   `nodeparamviewarraywidget.cpp`、`nodeparamviewconnectedlabel.cpp`、
+   `nodeparamviewkeyframecontrol.cpp`、`nodeparamviewwidgetbridge.cpp`、
+   `nodeparamview.cpp`
+3. `app/widget/keyframeview/keyframeviewinputconnection.cpp`
+4. `app/widget/projectexplorer/projectviewmodel.cpp`（`label_changed` 的
+   直连，换 `OAKENGINE_EVENT_NODE_LABEL_CHANGED`）
+
+**做法**（每处相同）：
+- 事件 ID 已分配（70-95），`EngineEventBridge` 的 node_* 信号已存在，
+  只差在用类里加 `EngineEventBridge *bridge_` 成员、subscribe、
+  connect bridge 信号。
+- **sender() 陷阱**：bridge 迁移后槽函数里 `sender()` 是 bridge 不是
+  Node。信号参数里带 `OakEngineNode *source`，用它。（ProjectViewModel
+  段错误就是这个，已修过一次，别再来。）
+- **订阅泄漏**：bridge_ 由父对象持有则随父析构自动解绑；裸
+  `oakengine_event_subscribe`（userdata=this）必须在析构 unsubscribe。
+- **重复连接守卫**：在会多次执行的函数里 `connect(bridge_, ...)` 要
+  么加一次性 flag（参照 `seekablewidget.cpp::set_markers` 的
+  `marker_connects_done_`），要么在成员初始化时只连一次。
+- 消不掉的 `staticMetaObject`（qobject_cast/模板 connect 残留）按
+  v3 §6.4 写理由进豁免清单，预期 1-2 项。
+
+**验证**：G1 完成后 Node 应只剩豁免项（staticMetaObject ± link/unlink
+的 typeinfo）。`olive-gtest` 里 nodeview/nodeparamview/projectexplorer
+相关用例必须全绿。
+
+## 2. 批次 G2：渲染族（25 符号）
+
+逐个 grep 定位，先查现成 facade：`oakengine/playback.h`、`preview.h`、
+`renderer.h`、`gizmo.h`、`color.h`。引用点集中在
+`app/widget/viewer/viewerdisplay.cpp`、`app/widget/manageddisplay/`、
+`app/widget/audiomonitor/`、`app/widget/scope/`。
+
+- `DraggableGizmo`(3)：gizmo facade 已有（B9e），把残留直连换完。
+- `ManagedColor`(4)：在 `colorprocessorhandle` 一带，POD 经
+  `oakengine/color.h` 传递。
+- `Frame`(3)、`Texture`(2)：`FrameHashCache`/`AudioWaveformCache` 的
+  句柄化参照 `cliphandle.h` 模式（app 侧 inline 适配头， facade 取数据）。
+- 剩下 Renderer/PlaybackCache/DynamicRenderer/OpenGLRenderer/
+  ColorProcessor/AudioWaveformSync/AudioSynchronizer：若是
+  staticMetaObject/信号，同 G1 处理；若是虚函数链调用，包 facade 函数。
+
+**GPU 边界提醒**：这批不许碰渲染管线的实际行为，只换调用方式。
+渲染用例（`ViewerDisplayReproTest` 可跑通的那 3 个）不能变得更差。
+
+## 3. 批次 G3：长尾（28 符号）
+
+逐类处理，多数一处两处：
+- `NodeValue`(4)：多是 `NodeValue::Type` 的 typeinfo/静态引用——用
+  `oak_node_value_type` 的 C 枚举替换（**注意两套枚举序数不同**，映射
+  函数参照 `nodevaluetree.cpp` 的 `node_value_type_to_c`，不要强转）。
+- `UndoCommand`(3)：残留的 `UndoCommand*` 类型引用，换 `void*` + facade。
+- `VideoParams`(3)、`Sequence`(2)、`Project`(1)、`ViewerOutput`(1)：
+  vieweroutpututils 模式收口。
+- `TimelineMarker`(2)、`RenderManager`(2)、`UndoStack`(1)、
+  `SubtitleBlock`(1)、`ShapeNodeBase`(1)、`MultiCamNode`(1)、
+  `FrameHashCache`(1)、`AudioWaveformCache`(1)：grep 定位单点，
+  大概率是 static_cast/构造/qobject_cast，直接换 facade。
+
+## 4. 批次 G4：豁免落实 + 终验
+
+1. 把 AudioProcessor(5)、plugin::PluginProgressReporter(4)、
+   staticMetaObject 残留（若有）逐条写进
+   `c-abi-migration-handoff.md` §6.4 豁免清单（每条一句理由）。
+2. 终验（全过才算 R5 完成）：
+   - `nm -D` oak-editor ≤ 6 且全在豁免清单；oak-render-worker = 0。
+   - 全量构建 0 error；全量 ctest 绿（flaky 规则照旧）。
+   - 反作弊：app 无 dlsym/dlfcn；`git diff 476714ada~1..HEAD -- engine/`
+     无 inline 化、无 stub；grep 全仓库无 `// simplified`、
+     `// NOTE: simplified` 类"语义简化"注释。
+3. 更新 `facade-migration-roadmap.md`（G 批次记录）、
+   `r5-phase3-final-guide.md` 状态节、handoff §6.4。
+4. **R5 完成哨**：向用户报告，由用户宣布 R5 结束——随后
+   `plans/gtest-migration-guide.md` 与 `plans/ui-redesign-plan.md`
+   解锁（两者互为并行，见各自文档）。
+
+## 5. 给执行者的自查清单（含 GLM 本轮新增教训）
+
+- **语义不可"简化"**：GLM 在 `set_value_hint` 里传 `(0, 0, nullptr)`
+  并注释"simplified"——这就是 stub，不管名字叫什么。facade 参数映射
+  必须完整（type/index/tag 一个不能丢），映射不了就扩 facade，不许
+  丢字段。
+- 两套值类型枚举（engine `NodeValue::Type` vs C `oak_node_value_type`）
+  **序数不同**，必须显式映射函数，禁止 `int(t)` 强转。
+- undo 聚合用 `oakengine_undo_group_*`；单个 facade 调用即一条 undo
+  的场景才允许单推。
+- 事件订阅：谁 subscribe 谁 unsubscribe（析构或换绑时）；connect
+  bridge 信号防重复。
+- 时间单位：facade 时间戳是 `int64_t` 帧戳（timebase 转换用
+  `Timecode::time_to_timestamp`），秒是 Rational num/den 对，别混。
+- 提交信息标题写 nm 实测数。

+# R5 第二阶段详细指引（剩余 339 符号）
+
+> 本文是 `r5-app-migration-guide.md` 的续篇，针对当前剩余的 339 个符号给出
+> **逐组、逐符号**的替换映射。面向没有此前对话记忆的执行者。
+> 工作分支：`c-abi-migration`。每文件/小步立即提交。
+
+---
+
+## 0. 验收结论（2026-07-24 实测）
+
+- 符号：395 → **339**（DS 的 R5 1B–2 批次，质量良好）。
+- 构建：绿。测试：**44/44 绿**（`oak_cli_transcode` 一次 SEGFAULT 单独重跑即过，
+  属已知 flaky；期间修复 `ExportFormatComboBox` 初值应为 format 总数而非 -1 的
+  1 个回归，已提交）。
+- 当前状态符合 R5 指引预期，可以按本文继续。
+
+## 1. "剩余符号必须集群重写"——第三次证伪
+
+DS 再次声称剩余符号"都需要文件集群级的全量重写（虚函数链、Q_OBJECT 信号槽、
+模板头文件引用）"。**逐符号核对后，每一组都有现成、已测的 facade 函数可直接
+替换**（§2 全表）。所谓"Q_OBJECT 信号槽"，由事件机制（
+`oakengine_event_subscribe` + `EngineEventBridge`）解决；"虚函数链"从不涉及——
+迁移替换的是 **app 侧调用点**，engine 类原样留在 liboakengine 内部；"模板头文件
+引用"（`NodeTraverser`、`NodeValueTable`）已由 `oakengine/traverse.h` 覆盖。
+**没有一组需要重写。**
+
+判据：如果某符号在 §2 表里能查到 facade 对应物，它就是普通替换，不是重写。
+
+## 2. 逐组符号 → facade 映射
+
+### 2.1 ColorManager（15）——colordialog、colorbutton、colorwheel 系列、projectproperties、colordialog
+
+| 符号 | facade（`oakengine/color.h`） |
+|---|---|
+| `list_available_colorspaces` | `oakengine_color_manager_colorspace_count/_at` |
+| `list_available_displays` | `oakengine_color_manager_display_count/_at` |
+| `list_available_views` | `oakengine_color_manager_view_count/_at` |
+| `list_available_looks` | `oakengine_color_manager_look_count/_at` |
+| `get_compliant_color_space(ColorTransform,bool)` | `oakengine_color_manager_compliant_transform` |
+| `get_compliant_color_space(QString)` | `oakengine_color_manager_compliant_color_space` |
+| `get_default_display` | `oakengine_color_manager_default_display` |
+| `get_default_view` | `oakengine_color_manager_default_view` |
+| `set_config_filename` / `get_config_filename` | `oakengine_color_manager_set/get_config_filename` |
+| `set_default_input_color_space` | `oakengine_color_manager_set_default_input_color_space` |
+| `get_default_config` | `oakengine_color_config_load_default` + `oakengine_color_config_free` |
+| `create_config_from_file` | `oakengine_color_config_load_file` + `oakengine_color_config_free` |
+| `config_changed` / `reference_space_changed`（信号） | 事件 `OAKENGINE_EVENT_COLOR_MANAGER_CONFIG_CHANGED`/`_REFERENCE_SPACE_CHANGED`（60/61）+ EngineEventBridge |
+| `ColorProcessor::create` | `oakengine_color_processor_create`/`_free`/`_convert_color` |
+| `staticMetaObject` | 随信号迁走事件机制后消失 |
+
+`oakengine_color_manager_from_project` 取项目色彩管理器句柄；
+`reference_color_space`/`default_luma_coefs` 已有。全部 buf/size 约定。
+
+### 2.2 EngineCore（17，含 Q_OBJECT）——core.cpp、mainwindow、各 panel
+
+| 符号 | facade（`oakengine/app.h`） |
+|---|---|
+| `staticMetaObject` / `qt_metacall` / `qt_metacast` / `EngineCore(CoreParams)` / `CoreParams()` | app 不再直接引用 `olive::EngineCore` 类型（`Core` 已组合转发），MOC 符号随类型引用消失而消失 |
+| `set_active_project` | `oakengine_app_set_active_project` |
+| `add_open_project` | `oakengine_app_add_open_project` |
+| `remove_recently_opened_project` | `oakengine_app_remove_recent_project` / `oakengine_app_clear_recent_projects` |
+| `get_auto_recovery_index_filename` | `oakengine_app_auto_recovery_index_filename` |
+| `set_language` | `oakengine_app_set_language` |
+| `set_autorecovery_interval` | `oakengine_app_set_autorecovery_interval` |
+| `on_project_saved` | `oakengine_app_on_project_saved` |
+| `set_close_project_handler` / `set_confirm_image_sequence_handler` / `set_load_layout_handler` / `set_relink_handler` / `set_save_project_handler` | `OakEngineAppCallbacks` + `oakengine_app_set_callbacks`（回调结构一次性注册） |
+
+**MOC 消除范式（Q_OBJECT 通用）**：app 侧不再出现 `EngineCore*`/`ColorManager*`/
+`RenderTicketWatcher*` 等 QObject 类型的成员、信号参数或 `qobject_cast`，全部改持
+facade 句柄 + `EngineEventBridge` 订阅。类型引用消失 → moc 生成的
+`staticMetaObject/qt_metacall/qt_metacast` 符号自动消失。**这就是"Q_OBJECT 信号槽"
+的全部解法，不需要动任何类。**
+
+### 2.3 NodeTraverser（6）——nodeparamview、curvewidget、viewerdisplay
+
+| 符号 | facade（`oakengine/traverse.h`） |
+|---|---|
+| `generate_database` | `oakengine_traverse_generate_database`（返回 `OakEngineTraverseDb*`，配 `oakengine_traverse_db_free` + `db_input_count/id` + `row_count` + `row_*` 访问器） |
+| `generate_table` | `oakengine_traverse_generate_table` |
+| `generate_row` | `oakengine_traverse_generate_row` |
+| `generate_row_value_element_index` | `oakengine_traverse_table_element_index_for_hint` |
+| `transform` | `oakengine_traverse_transform` |
+| `NodeTraverser()`（构造） | 不再直接构造，全部走上述函数 |
+
+`NodeValueTable`/`NodeValueRow` 的访问经 `oakengine_traverse_db_*` /
+`oakengine_traverse_row_*` 访问器完成，模板类型不出边界。
+
+### 2.4 QtUtils（9）——纯函数，搬 app（不是 facade）
+
+`create_horizontal_line`、`create_vertical_line`、`flip_control_and_shift_modifiers`、
+`get_formatted_date_time`、`q_font_metrics_width`、`set_combo_box_data(int)`、
+`set_combo_box_data(QString)`、`to_q_color`、`word_wrap_string`
+
+全部含 Qt 类型，**按 B10 模式搬到 `app/common/`**（新建 `app/common/qtutilsapp.h`，
+inline 函数，namespace `olive` 不变以减少调用点改动；对该源文件
+`-fvisibility=hidden`，防 ODR 介入，见 r5 指引 §6-R1）。engine 内部用副本继续用
+engine 的 qtutils。
+
+### 2.5 RenderTicketWatcher（7）+ RenderTicket（5）——viewer.cpp、timelinewidget
+
+| 符号 | facade（`oakengine/preview.h`） |
+|---|---|
+| `RenderTicketWatcher::set_ticket` | `oakengine_preview_request_single_frame` / `oakengine_preview_request_audio_range`（内部即 ticket+watcher 封装） |
+| `RenderTicketWatcher::finished`（信号） | `oakengine_preview_request_set_finished_callback`（facade 自有 C 回调，不占事件号） |
+| `RenderTicketWatcher::get` / `has_result` | `oakengine_preview_request_get_frame` / `oakengine_preview_request_has_result` |
+| `RenderTicketWatcher::cancel` | `oakengine_preview_request_free` |
+| `RenderTicketWatcher::RenderTicketWatcher` | 不再直接构造 |
+| `RenderTicket` ctor/`start`/`finish`/`get` | 由 request 族内部完成，app 不再接触 |
+
+**红线**：`oak_playback_frame.linesize` 是**字节**；重建 display `Frame` 用四参
+`VideoParams(w,h,format,k_internal_channel_count)`（depth=1），防 depth=0 黑屏
+（r5 指引 §6-R5）。
+
+### 2.6 Track（13）+ ClipBlock（12）——timelinewidget、trackview、timelineview、seekablewidget
+
+全部走 `oakengine/timeline.h`：track 查询（count/at/type/length/is_range_free）、
+clip 输入 id getter、`clip_get_range`/`clip_set_media_in`（undoable）/trim/
+ripple/transition/add_footage_clip/add_sequence_clip。`ClipBlock::ClipBlock()` 等
+ctor → `oakengine_node_create_undoable` / `oakengine_sequence_add_footage_clip`。
+
+### 2.7 Node（40）+ NodeGroup（9）+ NodeKeyframe（7）——nodeview、nodeparamview、curvewidget、keyframeview、nodetableview、nodevaluetree、multicam、nodecombobox
+
+最大一组，全部走 `oakengine/node.h`（~60 函数）：
+- 输入元数据/值：`node_get_input_*`、`node_set_input`（undoable）、`get_input_at_time`
+- 关键帧：`node_keyframe_*`（导航/toggle/set_type_many/dragger/clear）
+- 图操作：`node_factory_*`、`node_add/connect/disconnect/copy_inputs/link`
+- group：`group_add_input_passthrough`/`group_input_passthrough_*`/`group_resolve_input`
+- context：`node_context_*`、`node_set_context_position`
+- 命令类（`NodeAddCommand`/`NodeEdgeAddCommand`/`NodeRenameCommand` 等）→ 对应
+  undoable 原语，**不要新建 app 侧命令类**。
+
+### 2.8 ViewerOutput（9）+ VideoParams（5）——viewer、footageviewer、viewerdisplay、panels
+
+`oakengine/viewer.h`（playhead、length、video/audio params、workarea、
+`oakengine_viewer_from_node`）+ `oakengine/videoparams.h`（`oak_video_params` POD +
+`oakengine_video_params_make/_equal/_is_valid/_bytes_per_pixel`）。
+
+## 3. 执行顺序与闭环
+
+按 DS 已验证有效的顺序继续（与 r5 指引一致）：
+
+1. **2.4 QtUtils**（9，纯搬动，最快）+ **2.1 ColorManager**（15）
+2. **2.3 NodeTraverser**（6）+ **2.5 RenderTicket/Watcher**（12）
+3. **2.2 EngineCore MOC**（17，类型引用消除）
+4. **2.6 Track/ClipBlock**（25）+ **2.8 ViewerOutput/VideoParams**（14）
+5. **2.7 Node 大族**（56，最后攻坚）
+
+每批闭环：`nm` 基线 → 逐文件替换（r5 指引 §2 方法）→ 构建 0 error →
+**全量 ctest 44/44 绿** → `nm` 双度量净减 → 立即提交 → roadmap 附 C 补记。
+**全量 ctest 不绿不得进入下一批。**
+
+## 4. 每完成一组的预期
+
+| 完成组 | 累计消除 | 剩余约 |
+|---|---|---|
+| 2.4+2.1 | 24 | 315 |
+| +2.3+2.5 | 18 | 297 |
+| +2.2 | 17 | 280 |
+| +2.6+2.8 | 39 | 241 |
+| +2.7 | 56 | ~185（含豁免 6） |
+
+最终只剩豁免清单（AudioProcessor 4 + `Block/Track::staticMetaObject` 2 = 6）。
+消不掉且确属架构原因的，按 v3 §6.4 格式进豁免清单并写理由（`TrackListRippleToolCommand`
+是目前唯一预定的遗留评估点）。

+
+## 1. 现状（2026-07-24 实测，GLM-5.2 交接）
+
+```
+nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"   # 88
+```
+
+GLM-5.2 从 131 消除至 88（-43）。已完成：F3（Task/TimelineWorkArea/
+ViewerOutput/Project 全部）、F4 方法调用（14 符号 + 7 新 facade 函数）、
+F6 部分长尾（7 构造器 + 5 静态字符串）。
+
+剩余 88 符号分布：
+
+| 簇 | 数 | 说明 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Node 信号+staticMetaObject | 26 | 22 信号 + staticMetaObject + link + set_standard_value + set_value_at_time |
+| AudioProcessor | 5 | 豁免候选（实时音频回调边界） |
+| plugin::PluginProgressReporter | 4 | 豁免候选（MOC 四件套） |
+| 渲染族 | ~25 | Renderer/PlaybackCache/Frame/DynamicRenderer/DraggableGizmo/OpenGLRenderer/Texture/ColorProcessor/AudioWaveformSync/AudioSynchronizer 等 |
+| 长尾 | ~28 | NodeValue/ManagedColor/VideoParams/UndoCommand 等 1-4 符号类 |
+
+**下一任主攻**：Node 信号连接迁移（23 符号，事件 ID 70-95 已全部分配，
+EngineEventBridge 信号已存在，需为 9 个类添加 bridge 成员）。
+
+## 2. 红线（新增两条，违反即返工）
+
+R5 既有红线不变：不改 `oakengine_*` 已发布签名、不删测试、不用
+`git checkout --`/`restore`/`clean`/`reset --hard`/`stash`、每批立即提交。
+新增：
+
+1. **禁止 inline 化 engine 实现刷符号**。把 engine 的 `.cpp` 实现搬进头文件
+   （如本次 WIP 对 `ManagedColor`、`TimelineWorkArea` 做的那样）不会让
+   依赖消失，只是让 app 内联编译 engine 代码——C ABI 边界被架空，nm 数字
+   是假的。判定方法：engine 目录下的任何 `.h` 出现新的非平凡函数体即违规。
+2. **禁止 no-op stub**。`load()` 返回 true、`save()` 空体、`// apply ...`
+   空循环这类"假成功"是最严重违规（本次 WIP 的
+   `TimelineWorkArea::load/save` 即为例：项目文件的工作区会全部丢失）。
+   任何行为变更必须在提交信息里写明并接受 review。
+3. **禁止 dlsym/GetProcAddress 等运行时解析 engine C++ 符号**（DS 在
+   `app/common/nodefactorywrapper.cpp` 用过，nm 统计不到 ≠ 依赖不存在）。
+   facade 只能在 `engine/src/capi/` 实现、`engine/include/oakengine/`
+   声明。详见 `c-abi-migration-handoff-v5.md` §2。
+
+## 3. 第 0 批：当前 WIP 处置（最先做，单独一个提交）
+
+工作区现有 DS 停手时留下的未提交改动，分两类：
+
+### 3.1 回退（engine 被改坏的部分，4 个文件 + 2 个 CMake）
+
+用 `git show HEAD:<path> > <path>` 恢复（**禁止** `git checkout --`）：
+
+- `engine/render/managedcolor.h`、`engine/render/managedcolor.cpp`、
+  `engine/render/CMakeLists.txt`（inline 化，红线 1）
+- `engine/timeline/timelineworkarea.h`、`engine/timeline/timelineworkarea.cpp`、
+  `engine/timeline/CMakeLists.txt`（inline 化 + load/save stub，红线 1+2）
+
+`TimelineWorkArea` 的 3 个符号（enabled/range 信号与 staticMetaObject）
+按 §5 批 F4 的正路处理。
+
+### 3.2 保留并修复（app 侧 ProjectSerializer → clipboard facade 迁移，方向正确）
+
+涉及：`timelinewidget.{h,cpp}`、`nodeparamview.{h,cpp}`、`nodeview.cpp`、
+`keyframeview.cpp`、`resizabletimelinescrollbar.{h,cpp}`。修三处：
+
+1. `nodeview.cpp::copy_selected`：`char buf[65536]` 固定缓冲会截断大节点图
+   的 XML。改两段式：先 `oakengine_clipboard_save_to_xml(cb, nullptr, 0)`
+   取所需长度，再 `QByteArray(len+1, '\0')` 分配写入。全仓库同类
+   buf/size 调用（`oakengine_project_filename` 等 512/256 定长）一并不再
+   扩大，仅本处改两段式（XML 体积无上限，文件名有）。
+2. `resizabletimelinescrollbar.cpp::connect_work_area`：已改为
+   `oakengine_event_subscribe`（方向对，解决了直连 engine 信号），但裸
+   订阅的 userdata 是 `this`，**必须在析构里
+   `oakengine_event_unsubscribe` 两个 id**，否则 widget 先死、workarea
+   后发事件即悬垂回调。
+3. `nodeparamview.cpp::paste` 里的空循环 `// apply position from map`：
+   原代码同样是建了 `PositionMap` 未使用（上游 Olive 遗留死代码），不算
+   回归，但既然碰了就删掉这个死块，别留占位注释。
+
+闭环后提交（提交信息注明：clipboard 迁移 + 三处修复 + engine 回退）。
+
+## 4. 第 1 批：已记录缺陷修复（review 累积清单，决策已写死）
+
+按序修，一个提交；每项都给出现象与定死的修法：
+
+1. **NodeParamView::DeleteSelected 重连静默失败**（严重）。
+   现码先 `oakengine_node_connect` 后 `oakengine_nodes_delete_many`，
+   而契约规定输入已占用时 connect 返回 `E_STATE`——重连必然失败。
+   修法：facade 新增
+   `int oakengine_nodes_delete_many_ex(nodes, contexts, node_count, edge_outputs, edge_input_nodes, edge_input_ids, edge_input_elements, edge_count, reconnect_outputs, reconnect_input_nodes, reconnect_input_ids, reconnect_input_elements, reconnect_count)`
+   ——engine 内部在**同一条** `NodeViewDeleteCommand` 里先删后连
+   （redo 序：delete → reconnect），undo 序反向。NodeParamView 只收集
+   重连边传入，不自己 connect。`oakengine_nodes_delete_many` 保留，
+   等价于 `_ex` 传 reconnect_count=0。
+2. **ProjectViewModel 切项目丢事件**（严重）。`set_project` 重建
+   `bridge_` 后没重连 4 个 folder 信号。修法：把构造里的 4 个
+   `connect(bridge_, ...)` 抽成私有 `connect_bridge_signals()`，
+   构造函数与 `set_project` 重建后都调。
+3. **NodeParamViewWidgetBridge dragger 泄漏**。类无析构，
+   `oakengine_dragger_create` 的句柄永不 free。修法：加析构调
+   `oakengine_dragger_free(dragger_)`。
+4. **TimeBasedWidget 旧订阅泄漏**。`connect_viewer_node` 只
+   `disconnect(bridge_, nullptr, this, nullptr)`，engine 侧订阅不释放。
+   修法：`EngineEventBridge` 加 `unsubscribe_all()`（对
+   `subscriptions_` 逐个 unsubscribe 并清空），在 disconnect 旁调用。
+5. **边-only 删除 undo 拆分**。`NodeView::delete_selected` 纯边分支逐边
+   `oakengine_node_disconnect_ex`，N 条边 N 条 undo。修法：放宽
+   `oakengine_nodes_delete_many` 契约允许 `node_count==0 && edge_count>0`
+   （纯边删除，报错条件改为两者同时为 0），边-only 分支改走 delete_many。
+6. **seekablewidget marker 订阅泄漏**。`set_markers` 建 3 个订阅
+   （ADDED/REMOVED/MODIFIED）只存 1 个 id。修法：
+   `QVector<int64_t> marker_subs_` 存全 3 个，重设/析构全解（对齐
+   `resizabletimelinescrollbar.cpp::connect_markers` 的正确模式）。
+7. **core_params 0x1 陷阱 + core.h 死代码**。`app/core.cpp:1509`
+   `Core::core_params()` 解引用 `0x1`；`app/core.h:337` 残留
+   `EngineCore *engine_core_` + `#include "coreengine.h"` + 5 个空操作
+   handler setter。修法：全删（core_params 无调用方，直接删方法）。
+8. **小项打包**：
+   - `projectviewmodel.cpp::connect_item` 死参数 `subscribe`（无 false
+     调用点）——删参数。
+   - `vieweroutpututils.h:50` 死声明
+     `viewer_output_video_params_from_oak`——删。
+   - `curveview.cpp` 两处 `(type == 0) ? 1 : 0` 魔法数——facade 加
+     `int oakengine_keyframe_opposing_bezier_type(int type)`，调用替换；
+     `(opposing_type == 0) ? 0 : 1` 恒等式一并简化。
+   - `export.cpp` `image_sequence_check_box_changed` 的裸 `{ }` 块缩进
+     乱——clang-format 归位。
+
+## 5. 第 2+ 批：符号收尾（按簇，难度从低到高）
+
+每批做法相同：grep 定位引用源 → 按既有模式迁移（facade 函数 /
+`cliphandle.h` 式 app 侧 inline 适配头 / CustomUndoCommand 回调 /
+EngineEventBridge 订阅）→ 闭环提交。禁止走 §2 两条红线的捷径。
+
+- **批 F1 撤销命令族（~30，25 个类）**：多数已有 facade 等价物直接换
+  （`NodeEdgeAddCommand`→`oakengine_node_connect`，
+  `NodeEdgeRemoveCommand`→`oakengine_node_disconnect_ex`，Marker 五命令
+  →`oakengine_marker_*` 族）。无等价物的按 `a86cb6c99` 的
+  `oakengine_undo_command_create` 回调模式迁移。`TrackListRippleToolCommand`
+  按 v3 §176 行处理：先尝试现有 timeline 原语组合，不行设计
+  `oakengine_tracklist_ripple_*` 小族，再不行写理由进豁免清单。
+- **批 F2 Track/ClipBlock/NodeGroup/NodeKeyframe（30）**：属性访问走
+  `trackhandle.h`/`cliphandle.h` 模式扩展；信号走 EngineEventBridge。
+- **批 F3 Task/Project/ViewerOutput/VideoParams（18）**：剩余多为
+  `VideoParams` 构造重载（vieweroutpututils 已收口一半）与 Task 信号
+  （已有 task 事件族，照 taskviewitem 先例）。
+- **批 F4 Node 大族（39，最难，放靠后）**：逐个符号 grep 定位。预期构成：
+  `qobject_cast<Node*>`（改 `oakengine_node_type_id` 比较 + static_cast）、
+  `staticMetaObject`（改字符串式 connect 或事件订阅，消不掉按 §6.4 豁免）、
+  inline 方法拉的 vtable/typeinfo（把调用点换 facade）。
+  `TimelineWorkArea`(3)、`UndoCommand`(3)、`Block`(3)、`NodeGroup` 残余
+  与本批同法。
+- **批 F5 渲染族（~25）**：Renderer/PlaybackCache/DynamicRenderer/
+  DraggableGizmo/OpenGLRenderer/Texture/Frame/ColorProcessor/
+  AudioWaveformSync/AudioSynchronizer。多数在 viewerdisplay、
+  manageddisplay、audiomonitor——playback/preview facade 族已存在
+  （B9a-B9c），先查 `oakengine/playback.h`、`preview.h`、`renderer.h`
+  有无现成函数。AudioProcessor(5) 目标压到 4 后整体进豁免清单
+  （实时回调边界，v3 已预批）。
+- **批 F6 长尾（~35）**：1-symbol 类逐个过。`*Task`(3)、
+  `RenderManager`(2)、`Sequence`(2)、`TimelineMarker`(2) 等，多为
+  static_cast 或构造调用，facade 已有创建函数的直接换。
+
+## 6. 验收（全部满足才算 R5 完成）
+
+1. `nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"` ≤ 6，
+   且每个剩余符号都在 `c-abi-migration-handoff.md` §6.4 豁免清单里、
+   各带一句理由。
+2. `nm -D` 检查 `oak-render-worker` 为 0。
+3. 全量构建 0 error；全量 `ctest --output-on-failure` 绿（已知 flaky
+   规则：单独重跑一次，连续两次失败才算回归）。
+4. 反作弊审计：
+   - `git diff <R5起点>..HEAD --stat -- engine/` 逐文件过一遍，确认无
+     inline 化、无 stub（§2 两条红线的全量复核）；
+   - grep engine 头文件无新增非平凡函数体。
+5. 更新 `facade-migration-roadmap.md` 批次记录与
+   `c-abi-migration-handoff.md` 状态节；本文标注"已完成"。
+
+## 7. 协作分工
+
+- 第 0/1 批（WIP 处置 + 缺陷修复）由 **Kimi** 执行——这些是语义陷阱，
+  需要逐行判断。
+- 批 F1-F6 由 **DeepSeek** 执行，Kimi 每批只读 review（不构建不运行），
+  记录问题，批间统一修。
+- 任何"消不掉"的符号：先写清尝试过的方案，再按 §6.4 格式进豁免清单，
+  由 Kimi 复核理由是否成立。

+
+## 总则：六类符号的统一解法
+
+| 类 | 数 | 本质 | 统一解法 | 阶段 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| F. 无 C ABI 等价物 | 17 | facade 缺函数 | engine/src/capi 加函数，app 换调用 | P1 |
+| B. inline 拉入 | 8 | app 直接构造 engine undo 命令类 | 命令类全部 facade 化 | P2 |
+| A. MOC staticMetaObject | 9 | app 信号/槽参数是 engine 类型 | 参数类型换 C ABI 句柄 | P3 |
+| E. 色彩管理 | 6 | C++ 对象直接构造 | POD + facade 处理器 | P4 |
+| C. 音频回调 | 5 | 实时回调边界 | C vtable 接口 | P5 |
+| D. 渲染/GPU | 13 | 渲染对象 app 侧构造 | 对象管理移入 engine | P6 ✅ |
+
+**新增 facade 函数的固定流程**（每个函数都照做）：
+1. 在 `engine/include/oakengine/<域>.h` 声明（extern "C"，`OAKENGINE_API`，
+   写清所有权/单位/错误码的文档注释）；
+2. 在 `engine/src/capi/<域>.cpp` 实现（内部直接调 engine C++，允许——
+   那是 engine 自己的实现）；
+3. 在 `engine/tests/` 加纯 C 测试（参照现有 `oakengine_*_test.cpp`）；
+4. app 侧换调用点；
+5. 全量构建 + ctest + nm + 提交。
+
+---
+
+## P1：F 类 facade 补齐（17 符号）
+
+> **状态**：P1 全部完成（17 符号 → 0）。F 类 facade 已补齐：NodeValue
+> 静态方法、VideoParams 构造器、音频对齐算法、TimelineMarker/ShapeNodeBase/
+> FrameHashCache/RenderManager/MultiCamNode/SubtitleBlock 零散单点均已通过
+> C ABI facade 替换或移除直接调用。
+
+### ✅ P1.1 NodeValue 静态方法（4）
+
+引用点：`app/widget/nodeparamview/nodeparamviewwidgetbridge.cpp`（
+split/combine track values）、`app/widget/keyframeview/`（轨道数）、
+`app/widget/nodevaluetree/`（pretty name）。
+
+新增到 `oakengine/node.h` + `engine/src/capi/node.cpp`：
+
+```c
+/** NodeValue::get_number_of_keyframe_tracks(t)。t 为 engine
+ *  NodeValue::Type 序数（注意：与 oak_node_value_type 不同序，见
+ *  nodevaluetree.cpp 的 node_value_type_to_c 映射表）。 */
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_node_value_keyframe_track_count(int engine_type);
+
+/** NodeValue::get_pretty_data_type_name(t)，buf/size 约定。 */
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_node_value_pretty_type_name(int engine_type,
+	char *buf, int buf_size);
+
+/** split_normal_value_into_track_values：输入 oak_node_value POD，
+ *  输出 tracks 数组（调用方分配，track_count 先经上一函数查询）。 */
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_node_value_split_to_tracks(int engine_type,
+	const oak_node_value *normal, oak_node_value *tracks_out, int track_count);
+
+/** combine_track_values_into_normal_value：split 的逆。 */
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_node_value_combine_tracks(int engine_type,
+	const oak_node_value *tracks, int track_count, oak_node_value *normal_out);
+```
+
+**注意**：engine `NodeValue::Type` 与 C `oak_node_value_type` **序数
+不同**（k_boolean=4 vs BOOL=3 等）。facade 参数用 engine 序数还是 C
+序数必须选一个并写进文档——**统一用 C 序数**（oak_node_value_type），
+engine 内部做映射（`from_c_type` 已存在于 node.cpp）。
+
+### ✅ P1.2 VideoParams 构造器（3）
+
+引用点：`app/widget/viewer/vieweroutpututils.cpp`（唯一合法保留点，
+它已是收口文件）、`manageddisplay.cpp`、`histogram.cpp`、
+`timebasedwidget.cpp`、`viewer.cpp`。
+
+原则：**app 不构造 VideoParams 对象**，全部改用 `oak_video_params`
+POD（已存在于 `oakengine/videoparams.h`）+ facade 传参。
+- vieweroutpututils.cpp 已示范：`oakengine_viewer_get_video_params`
+  出 POD，app 如需 VideoParams 对象仅在这一处构造（它的 3 个符号
+  就来自这里）。改为：app 各处不再要 VideoParams，直接传 POD；
+  确实需要 VideoParams 的地方（传给仍用 C++ 的 app 内部函数）保留
+  vieweroutpututils.cpp 单点，但把构造器替换为 facade：
+  `oakengine_video_params_create(const oak_video_params *pod)` 返回
+  `void *`（engine 堆上的 VideoParams），`oakengine_video_params_free`。
+  app 侧句柄化，析构走 free。
+
+### ✅ P1.3 音频对齐算法（4）
+
+`AudioWaveformSync::estimate_envelope_offset`、`estimate_stretch_and_offset`、
+`AudioSynchronizer::place_by_source_time`、`place_by_waveform_offset`。
+引用点：`app/widget/audiomonitor/` 或 multicam 对齐工具（grep
+`AudioWaveformSync\|AudioSynchronizer` app/ 定位）。
+
+新增到 `oakengine/audio.h`：
+
+```c

+
+## ✅ P2：B 类 inline 清零（8 符号 → 0）
+
+本质：app 直接 `new` engine 的 undo 命令类（C++ 类），构造/析构时
+inline 拉入 `UndoCommand::UndoCommand/redo_now/undo_now` 等符号。
+
+**状态**：P2 全部完成。app 中所有 `new XxxCommand(` 已替换为 facade 构造
+函数，`MultiUndoCommand *` 签名已改为 `void *`，`SetSelectionsCommand` /
+`SetTimeCommand` 已改为 callback-based facade 命令或直接使用 keyframe/
+marker facade 命令。`Node::link` / `Node::set_value_at_time` 已替换为
+`oakengine_block_link` / `oakengine_node_set_value_at_time_command`。
+
+**实测规模**：app 里 113 处 `new XxxCommand(`，16 个命令类：
+
+```
+43 MultiUndoCommand            2 NodeRemoveAndDisconnectCommand
+24 NodeSetPositionCommand      2 NodeSetValueHintCommand
+10 TrackPlaceBlockCommand      2 BlockTrimCommand
+ 5 TrackReplaceBlockWithGapCommand    1 TrackSlideCommand
+ 4 SetSelectionsCommand        1 TransitionRemoveCommand
+ 3 NodeRemovePositionFromContextCommand  1 SetTimeCommand
+ 1 BlockSplitPreservingLinksCommand  1 BlockResizeWithMediaInCommand
+ 1 TimelineRippleDeleteGapsAtRegionsCommand  1 BlockSetMediaInCommand
+```
+
+**统一解法**：每个命令类在 facade 加一个返回 `void *` 的构造函数
+（内部 `new` 对应 C++ 类），app 全部换成 facade 构造 +
+`oakengine_undo_command_multi_add_child` 组合。已有先例：
+`oakengine_node_connect_command`、`oakengine_node_set_standard_value_command`、
+`oakengine_node_link_command`（均在 node.h）。
+
+需要新增的 facade 构造函数（`oakengine/undo.h` 或对应域头）：
+
+```c
+OAKENGINE_API void *oakengine_undo_command_create_multi(void); /* 已有 */
+OAKENGINE_API void *oakengine_node_add_command(void *project, void *node);
+OAKENGINE_API void *oakengine_node_set_position_command(

+	const int *track_types, const int *track_indexes, int range_count);
+```
+
+（每个参数以 engine 对应 C++ 命令类的真实构造签名为准拍平；时间全部
+int64_t 帧戳，Rational 用 num/den 对的注明。）
+
+`Node::set_standard_value` / `Node::set_value_at_time`：app 唯一直接
+调用点 `nodeparamviewwidgetbridge.cpp:395`。facade 已有
+`oakengine_node_set_standard_value_command`；补：
+
+```c
+OAKENGINE_API void *oakengine_node_set_value_at_time_command(
+	void *node, const char *input, int element, int64_t time_ts_num,
+	int64_t time_ts_den, const oak_node_value *value, int track);
+```
+
+`Node::link`（实际是 `Block::link`，引用点 `tool/import.cpp:610`）：
+补 `OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_block_link(void *a, void *b, int linked);`
+（undoable 的加 `_command` 变体）。
+
+完成后 app 全仓库 grep `new [A-Z].*Command(` 应为 0，
+`#include "undo/undocommand.h"` 和 `#include "node/nodeundo.h"` 在 app
+中应全部消失（符号随 include 消失而归零）。
+
+---
+
+## ✅ P3：A 类 MOC staticMetaObject（9 符号 → 0）
+
+> **状态**：P3 全部完成。唯一含 engine 类型参数的信号
+> `NodeTreeView::node_enable_changed` 已改为 `OakEngineNode*` 句柄参数；
+> 12 处 `Node*`/`Project*` 槽已移出 slots 区（均确认非字符串式 connect
+> 目标，新式成员函数 connect 与 lambda 调用不受影响）。nm 实测
+> staticMetaObject 归零（26 → 24）。
+
+**机理**（先读再动手）：app 的 QObject 类若信号/槽参数含
+`Node*`/`Project*`/`Sequence*`/`ViewerOutput*`/`UndoStack*`/
+`AudioWaveformCache*` 等 Q_OBJECT 类型，MOC 生成的 metacall 代码会用
+`qobject_cast` 引用这些类的 staticMetaObject。把参数类型改成
+`OakEngineNode*` 等不透明 C 句柄（或 `void*`），MOC 就当普通指针
+处理，引用消失。
+
+### P3.1 已知信号清单（逐个改签名 + 全部 connect 点）
+
+- `app/panel/param/param.h:67` `focused_node_changed(Node *)`
+- `app/widget/nodeparamview/nodeparamview.h:94` 同上
+- `app/widget/nodeparamview/nodeparamviewitem.h:71,226` `request_select_node(Node *)`
+- `app/widget/nodeparamview/nodeparamviewconnectedlabel.h:44` 同上；
+  `:47,49` `input_connected/disconnected(Node *, const NodeInput &)`
+- `app/panel/timeline/timeline.h:129,130` `reveal_viewer_in_project(ViewerOutput *)` 等
+- `app/widget/history/`（UndoStack* 参数，如有）
+- `app/widget/multicam/multicamwidget.h:56`（MultiCamNode*）
+
+改法（以 `focused_node_changed` 为例）：
+1. 信号签名改 `focused_node_changed(OakEngineNode *n)`；
+2. 发射处 `emit focused_node_changed(reinterpret_cast<OakEngineNode*>(n))`；
+3. 接收槽同步改类型，槽内 `reinterpret_cast<Node*>(n)` 还原；
+4. 该头文件不再 include engine C++ 头（`node/node.h` 等），改 include
+   `oakengine/node.h`。
+5. 全仓库 grep 该信号名找齐所有 connect，逐一编译验证。
+
+### P3.2 plugin 族（staticMetaObject/qt_metacast/qt_metacall）
+
+`app/dialog/progress/pluginprogressdialogreporter.h` 继承 engine 的
+`plugin::PluginProgressReporter`（Q_OBJECT）。解法：engine 侧把
+PluginProgressReporter 的 `cancelled()` 信号改为 C 回调注册
+（`oakengine_plugin_progress_set_cancel_cb(fn, userdata)`），基类去掉
+Q_OBJECT；app 的 dialog reporter 不再继承它，改为组合一个
+`oakengine_plugin_progress_reporter` C 句柄（facade create/free）。
+涉及 engine 插件系统，改动面可控但注意 `PluginNode` 测试不回归。
+
+### P3.3 `plugin::PluginProgressReporter::cancelled()`（F 类遗留）
+
+随 P3.2 一并解决（信号变事件/回调）。
+
+---
+
+## ✅ P4：E 类色彩管理（6 符号 → 0）
+
+> **状态**：P4 全部完成（6 符号 → 0）。app 侧 `ManagedColor` 改为
+> header-only POD 包装（`colorprocessorhandle.h`），`ColorProcessor::Ptr`
+> 全部换成 `ColorProcessorHandlePtr`（C 句柄）；`manageddisplay`/
+> `viewerdisplay`/`viewerbase`/`viewer` 的 create/convert 走
+> `oak_make_color_processor`/`oak_convert_color` facade；engine 原
+> `render/managedcolor.h+.cpp` 已清空。nm 实测 6 个色彩符号归零
+> （24 → 18）。期间定位并修复了一个阻塞验证的**预先存在竞态**：
+> worker ticket 在「提交→worker 取件」窗口被 `clear_single_frame_renders`
+> 取消，导致 `FootageViewerNotBlack/1` 全量套件 30s 超时——已在
+> `RenderWorkerPool::submit_frame` 中于 job 入队前 `ticket->start()`
+> 消除脆弱窗口（非 stub，是真实缺陷修复），olive-gtest 全量通过。
+
+引用点：`colordialog.{h,cpp}`、`colorbutton.{h,cpp}`、
+`colorswatchchooser.{h,cpp}`、`nodeparamviewwidgetbridge.cpp`。
+
+新增到 `oakengine/color.h`：
+
+```c
+/** ManagedColor 的 POD 形态：RGBA + 输入色彩空间 id + 输出变换。 */
+typedef struct oak_managed_color {
+	double r, g, b, a;
+	char input_id[64];       /* 空串 = 未指定 */
+	char transform[128];     /* 空串 = 未指定 */
+} oak_managed_color;
+
+OAKENGINE_API void *oakengine_color_processor_create(
+	const char *src_space, const char *dst_transform, int direction);
+OAKENGINE_API void oakengine_color_processor_free(void *p);
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_color_processor_convert(void *p,
+	double in_r, double in_g, double in_b, double in_a,
+	double *out_r, double *out_g, double *out_b, double *out_a);
+```
+
+app 侧：`ManagedColor` 成员变量换成 `oak_managed_color` POD；
+`ColorProcessor::Ptr` 成员换成 `void *` 句柄（析构处配 free）。
+`colorbutton/colorswatchchooser` 只是显示颜色，转换走
+`oakengine_color_processor_convert`。
+
+---
+
+## ✅ P5：C 类音频回调（5 符号 → 0）
+
+> **状态**：P5 全部完成（5 符号 → 0）。`oakengine/audio.h` 新增
+> `OakEngineAudioProcessor` 不透明句柄族（create/free/open/close/is_open/
+> convert/output_params），`capi/audio.cpp` 内部用 C++ `AudioProcessor`
+> 实现（convert 的输出字节由句柄内部 `Buffer` 持有，调用方零拷贝借用）；
+> `viewer.h/cpp` 的 `AudioProcessor audio_processor_` 成员换成
+> `OakEngineAudioProcessor *`（构造 create、析构 free），open 走
+> `OakAudioParams*` POD，`.to()` 走 `oakengine_audio_processor_output_params`
+> + `oakcore_audioparams_is_valid/time_to_bytes`。nm 实测 5 个音频符号
+> 归零（18 → 13），全量 ctest 100% 通过。
+
+引用点：`app/widget/viewer/viewer.{h,cpp}`（AudioProcessor 直接构造，
+用于回放音频格式转换）。
+
+**为什么不能简单 facade 化**：AudioProcessor 是实时回调路径，每次
+回调跨 C ABI 进 engine 会有性能顾虑（其实极小，但保持零拷贝更重要）。
+
+**解法（C vtable，RIIR 友好）**：facade 定义处理器 C 接口，engine
+内部用 C++ AudioProcessor 实现，app 只持有句柄：
+
+```c
+/* oakengine/audio.h */
+typedef struct OakEngineAudioProcessor OakEngineAudioProcessor;
+OAKENGINE_API OakEngineAudioProcessor *oakengine_audio_processor_create(void);
+OAKENGINE_API void oakengine_audio_processor_free(OakEngineAudioProcessor *p);
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_audio_processor_open(OakEngineAudioProcessor *p,
+	int in_sample_rate, uint64_t in_layout, int in_format,
+	int out_sample_rate, uint64_t out_layout, int out_format,
+	double speed);
+OAKENGINE_API void oakengine_audio_processor_close(OakEngineAudioProcessor *p);
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_audio_processor_convert(OakEngineAudioProcessor *p,
+	float **data, int frame_count);
+```
+
+app 的 `AudioProcessor processor_;` 成员换
+`OakEngineAudioProcessor *processor_`（create/free 配对）。
+
+---
+
+## ✅ P6：D 类渲染/GPU（13 符号 → 0，最大工程，放最后）
+
+> **状态**：P6 全部完成（13 符号 → 0）。nm 实测：oak-editor 与
+> oak-render-worker 的 ` U _ZN5olive` 均为 **0**；全量构建 0 error；
+> 全量 ctest 100%（45/45）；`ViewerDisplayReproTest` 三个可跑通用例
+> （Vulkan 后端）保持通过，OpenGL offscreen 三个用例按环境预期 SKIP；
+> 导出测试（`oakengine_export_test`、`oak_cli_transcode_verify`）无回归。
+>
+> **实现说明（与原设计提议的差异，已论证）**：
+> 1. facade 未加入 `oakengine/renderer.h`，而是新建独立头
+>    `oakengine/display.h` + `engine/src/capi/display.cpp`。原因：
+>    `renderer.h` 已存在面向序列渲染 CPU 帧的 `OakEngineFrame` 及
+>    `oakengine_frame_data/free/width/...` 函数族，与本节设计的
+>    `oakengine_frame_create/allocate/free` **C 命名冲突**（C 不允许重载）。
+> 2. 命名 accordingly 调整为：渲染器/纹理族 `oakengine_display_renderer_*` /
+>    `oakengine_display_texture_*`；codec 帧族 `oakengine_codec_frame_*`。
+> 3. 采用**最小侵入方案**：TexturePtr/FramePtr（std::shared_ptr）流仍保留在
+>    app 内（它们经 QVariant/信号在 engine→app 投递，全句柄化需重构帧投递
+>   管线，对 ViewerDisplayReproTest 风险极高）。facade 只收口 13 个
+>    out-of-line 调用（create_texture/blit_color_managed/upload/download/
+>    Frame::create/set_video_params/allocate/渲染器构造-init-destroy）。
+>    app 复制/reset shared_ptr 只动引用计数（deleter 在 engine 侧 type-erase），
+>    不引用 `~Texture`/`~Frame`；inline/virtual 方法不产生 `U _ZN5olive`。
+>    这满足 nm=0 硬指标，且渲染路径行为零变化。
+> 4. `out_texture`/`out_frame` 出参为指向 caller `TexturePtr`/`FramePtr`
+>    存储的指针，engine 侧赋值，shared_ptr 簿记全留在 engine。
+
+引用点：`app/widget/manageddisplay/manageddisplay.cpp`（
+OpenGLRenderer/DynamicRenderer 构造、init、Texture upload/download、
+blit_color_managed）、`app/widget/viewer/viewerdisplay.cpp`、
+`app/widget/scope/`（Frame::create/allocate/set_video_params）。
+
+**原则**：渲染对象的生命周期全部移入 engine，app 只持有句柄并
+描述"要画什么"。这也是 RIIR 里 GPU 管线的预定边界。
+
+新增到 `oakengine/renderer.h`：
+
+```c
+/* 渲染器句柄：engine 按当前后端（OpenGL/软件）创建，app 不知道类型 */
+OAKENGINE_API void *oakengine_renderer_create_for_thread(void);
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_renderer_init(void *r, void *qopengl_context_or_NULL);
+OAKENGINE_API void oakengine_renderer_destroy(void *r);
+
+/* 纹理句柄 */
+OAKENGINE_API void *oakengine_texture_create(void *r,

+
+/* 色彩管理 blit */
+OAKENGINE_API int oakengine_renderer_blit_color_managed(
+	void *r, const oak_color_transform_job *job, void *dst_texture,
+	const oak_video_params *params);
+```
+
+`oak_color_transform_job` POD 在 `oakengine/color.h` 定义（processor 句柄
++ input/output id + 各向异性参数，字段以 engine `ColorTransformJob`
+拍平）。
+
+app 侧：`manageddisplay`/`viewerdisplay` 不再 `new OpenGLRenderer`，
+改持 `void *renderer_`；帧/纹理成员全部句柄化。
+
+**验证重点**：渲染路径行为必须零变化——`olive-gtest` 的
+`ViewerDisplayReproTest` 三个可跑通用例必须保持通过；导出测试
+（`oakengine_export_test`、`oak_cli_transcode_verify`）不许变差。
+
+---
+
+## 验收（100% C ABI 判据）
+
+1. `nm -D ... | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"` = **0**（oak-editor 与
+   oak-render-worker 都是 0）。
+2. 全量构建 0 error；全量 ctest 绿（flaky 规则照旧）。
+3. 反作弊审计：app 无 dlsym/dlfcn；`git diff` engine 无 inline 化；
+   app 无 `#include "node/`、`#include "undo/`、`#include "task/`、
+   `#include "render/`、`#include "timeline/` 的 engine C++ 头
+   （`grep -rn '#include "' app/ | grep -E '"(node|undo|task|render|timeline|pluginSupport)/'`

+4. `c-abi-migration-handoff.md` §6.4 豁免清单清空（改为"无豁免"），

+
+## 附：R6 收尾复核记录（Kimi K3，2026-07-26）
+
+R6 由 Qwen 3.8 Max 执行完成，复核结论：**nm 目标达成（58→0，双二进制）**，
+
+- 全量构建 0 error；ctest 45/45（oak_cli_transcode 间歇 SEGFAULT 为预存
+  flaky，手动跑通过）；
+- 反作弊干净：无 dlsym、无 stub、无 engine inline 化；
+- P2 undo 命令 facade 化质量合格（113 处 `new XxxCommand(` 归零）；
+- P3 MOC 处理合格（信号参数句柄化 + 非 slots 区注释清楚）。
+
+**遗留项（已记录，后续批次）**：
+
+1. **`oakengine/display.h` 的"灰色契约"（P6 的妥协）**：函数签名均为
+   `void *`（nm 上纯 C），但文档约定 `out_texture/out_frame` 指向调用方
+   内存中的 `std::shared_ptr`（engine 在其上构造 shared_ptr 副本），
+   `video_params` 实为 `olive::VideoParams*`。对 Rust 重写而言这层契约
+   仍是 C++ 语义：Rust 侧无法安全持有 shared_ptr，也无法构造
+   VideoParams。**后续必须重做**：`oak_video_params` POD 替换
+   `const void *video_params`；纹理/帧改不透明句柄 +
+   `oakengine_display_texture_free/oakengine_codec_frame_free`。
+2. **engine 导出符号未收口**：`nm -D --defined-only liboakengine.so |
+   grep -c " T _Z"` = 3486。按 riir.md §2 Step 2 做
+   `-fvisibility=hidden` + 只导出 `oakengine_*`（独立批次，app 已无引用，
+   不阻塞）。
+3. **app 仍 include ~40 个 engine C++ 头**（不产生符号引用，nm=0 已证），
+   彻底清理为低优先级长项。

+### A.2 新契约（设计钉死，照此实现）
+
+**所有权协议（核心决策，不许改）**：纹理/帧句柄是不透明指针，指向
+engine 堆上的控制块（内部持有 `std::shared_ptr`，实现细节对 ABI 不可见）。
+所有权经显式 retain/free 转移，禁止任何"写入调用方内存的 shared_ptr"。

+engine 实现（`engine/src/capi/display.cpp` 重写）：
+
+```cpp
+struct OakEngineDisplayTexture { olive::TexturePtr ptr; };
+struct OakEngineCodecFrame { olive::FramePtr ptr; };
+// create: new OakEngineDisplayTexture{renderer->create_texture(...)}
+// retain/free: new/delete 控制块（引用计数即 shared_ptr 自身）
+// POD↔C++：oak_video_params ↔ olive::VideoParams 的转换函数若
+//   capi 已有（viewer.cpp 的 get 路径）就抽成内部共享 helper
+//   （放 engine/src/capi/videoparamsinternal.h），不许复制粘贴第三份。
+```
+
+### A.3 跨线程移交协议（最容易写错的地方，钉死）
+
+`viewerdisplay` 的 `load_frame_`/`load_texture_` 在解码线程生产、
+显示线程消费。原语义靠 shared_ptr 引用计数保活。新协议：
+
+1. 生产侧 `oakengine_display_texture_retain(t)` 后写入共享槽；
+2. 消费侧取走句柄，旧句柄 `free`；
+3. 槽清空时持有一方负责 `free`。
+   **每个 retain 必须配对恰好一个 free**。写完后 grep 审计配对数。
+
+### A.4 app 侧触点清单（47 处，按文件做，每文件一提交）
+
+| 文件 | 处数 | 要点 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `app/widget/viewer/viewerdisplay.{h,cpp}` | 19+15 | 最大。`texture_`/`load_texture_`/gizmo 纹理全换句柄；析构与各 reset 路径补 free；A.3 协议主要在这里 |
+| `app/widget/scope/scopebase/scopebase.{h,cpp}` | 6+9 | 同模式 |
+| `app/widget/manageddisplay/manageddisplay.cpp` | 6 | create_texture/blit/download |
+| `app/widget/viewer/viewer.{h,cpp}` | 1+9 | FramePtr 成员换句柄 |
+| `app/widget/multicam/multicamdisplay.{h,cpp}` | 1+4 | |
+| `app/widget/scope/histogram/histogram.{h,cpp}` | 2+1 | |
+| `app/widget/scope/waveform/waveform.{h,cpp}` | 1+1 | |
+| `app/widget/scope/vectorscope/vectorscope.{h,cpp}` | 1+1 | |
+| `app/panel/viewer/viewerbase.h`、`app/panel/scope/scope.{h,cpp}` | 3 | |
+
+完成判据：app 全仓库 grep `TexturePtr|FramePtr` = 0；
+`oakengine/display.h` 全文无 `shared_ptr`、无 `olive::` 出现在**签名**
+（注释里也不许写 "olive::TexturePtr storage" 这种约定）。
+
+### A.5 验证
+
+- 新增 `engine/tests/oakengine_display_test.cpp`（无 GL 环境测错误
+  路径与 retain/free 配对；GL 相关断言用现有 backend 检测跳过模式）。
+- `olive-gtest` 的 `ViewerDisplayReproTest` 三个可跑通用例**必须全过**
+  （这是显示路径的回归网，挂一个就是真挂）。
+- 手动验证（报告里写明）：打开素材 → 画面非黑；scope 面板渲染正常。
+
+---
+
+## R7-B：engine visibility 收口（3486 → 只导出 oakengine_*）
+
+### B.1 原理（已具备的条件）
+
+`OAKENGINE_API` 在 GCC/Clang 已是
+`__attribute__((visibility("default")))`（export.h:40）。给
+`oakengine` 目标加 `-fvisibility=hidden` 后，只有 `oakengine_*` 导出。
+`oakgl`/`oakvulkan` 两个动态后端同理（已有 `*-cabi-check` OBJECT
+目标，顺带确认它们导出面也只剩 C ABI）。
+
+### B.2 唯一难点：测试链接
+
+隐藏符号后，直接引用 engine C++ 内部的测试会断链：
+- `olive-gtest`：**1006** 个 `U _ZN5olive`
+- `timeline-tests`：29
+- `oakengine_export_test`：9（`make_oakengine_test` 族里引用内部的）
+- `compositing-tests`：0（纯 facade，无碍）
+
+**解法（钉死）**：engine 源码改出 OBJECT 库，测试链对象文件而非
+`.so`：
+
+```cmake
+# engine/CMakeLists.txt
+add_library(oakengine-obj OBJECT ${OLIVE_SOURCES})
+# （POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON）
+add_library(oakengine SHARED $<TARGET_OBJECTS:oakengine-obj>)
+target_compile_options(oakengine-obj PRIVATE -fvisibility=hidden)
+# 引用 engine C++ 内部的测试目标：
+target_link_libraries(<test> PRIVATE oakengine-obj)  # 替代 oakengine
+```
+
+- `olive-gtest`（tests/gtest/CMakeLists.txt）改链 `oakengine-obj` +
+  `oakengine`（facade 符号从 .so 来，避免重复定义；若 ODR 冲突则只链
+  oakengine-obj，先把 facade 函数符号在 object 里的重复问题解决——
+  二选一，以链接通过且 ctest 全绿为准，把选择写进提交信息）。
+- `timeline-tests`、引用内部的 `oakengine_*_test` 同法。
+- **禁止**：为了让测试过而把 engine 内部符号加 visibility("default")
+  白名单——那是开天窗。
+
+### B.3 验证
+
+```
+nm -D --defined-only cmake-build-debug/engine/liboakengine.so | grep -c " T _Z"   # 目标 0
+nm -D --defined-only cmake-build-debug/engine/liboakengine.so | grep -c " T "     # 应等于 oakengine_* 函数数
+nm -D cmake-build-debug/app/oak-editor | grep -c " U _ZN5olive"                   # 必须仍为 0
+```
+全量构建 0 error + 全量 ctest 绿（45 个）才提交。
+
+---
+
+## R7-C（低优先级，时间够再做）：app 的 engine C++ 头清理
+
+app 仍 include ~40 个 engine C++ 头（`grep -rn '#include "' app/ |
+grep -E '"(node|render|timeline|undo|task|pluginSupport)/'`）。不产生
+符号引用（nm=0 已证），但 RIIR 拆模块时这些 include 会全部失效。
+逐个换 facade/句柄头（`cliphandle.h`、`nodevaluehandle.h` 模式）。
+**本批不设完成判据**，收尾时把剩余清单写进 riir.md 附录即可。
+
+## 验收（R7 完成判据）
+
+1. `display.h` 全文无 C++ 类型签名/契约注释；app 无 TexturePtr/FramePtr。
+2. liboakengine.so ` T _Z` = 0；oak-editor ` U _ZN5olive` 保持 0。
+3. 全量构建 0 error；全量 ctest 绿。
+4. 更新 `plans/riir.md` 状态（边界已纯 → 可进 Step 1 拆分）、
+   `facade-migration-roadmap.md` R7 批次记录。
+5. 向用户报告，由用户宣布进入 riir.md §4 的模块拆分阶段。

+ *
+ * This family exposes the process-wide application state the editor UI needs
+ * from the engine: the CoreParams-driven startup, the open/active project,
+ * the recent-projects list, the global tool/snapping/timecode settings, the
+ * status bar and the UI handler hooks the engine calls when it needs user
+ * interaction (image-sequence confirmation, footage relink, project save /
+ * close, main window layout restore, OTIO import).
+ *
+ * It wraps olive::EngineCore so that the UI layer no longer derives from or
+ * links against that C++ class. The engine emits its change notifications
+ * through the OakEngineAppCallbacks function pointers (registered with
+ * oakengine_app_set_callbacks()) instead of Qt signals.
+ *
+ * Conventions (matching oakengine/project.h):
+ *   - Booleans are int (1/0).
+ *   - Return codes: 0 (OAKENGINE_OK) on success, negative OAKENGINE_E_* on
+ *     failure. Functions documented as returning a value return
+ *     OAKENGINE_E_INVALID when no application core exists.
+ *   - String output uses the buf/size convention: the return value is the
+ *     number of characters that would have been written excluding the NUL,
+ *     so buf == NULL or a short buffer queries the required size. The output
+ *     is NUL-terminated whenever buf_size > 0. A negative return value is an
+ *     OAKENGINE_E_* error code.
+ *   - Enum values mirror the engine enums (olive::Tool::Item,

+ *
+ * Covers everything the application's display and color-picker paths need
+ * without importing an engine C++ symbol:
+ *
+ *   - OakEngineColorManager: borrowed handle to a project's color manager
+ *     (olive::ColorManager). Obtain it with
+ *     oakengine_color_manager_from_project(); like the other borrowed
+ *     handles it is just the engine pointer reinterpreted and its lifetime
+ *     follows the project. All list queries use the index + buf/size
+ *     string pattern (the return value of a string getter is the would-be
+ *     length excluding the NUL, so buf == NULL queries the size).
+ *
+ *   - oak_color_transform: POD mirror of olive::ColorTransform. `output`
+ *     is the colorspace name when `is_display` is 0, otherwise the display
+ *     device name with `view`/`look` selecting the display transform. NULL
+ *     strings mean "unset" (the empty QString).
+ *
+ *   - OakEngineColorProcessor: owned handle wrapping an OCIO-backed
+ *     olive::ColorProcessorPtr. Free with
+ *     oakengine_color_processor_free(). Color conversion is per-color
+ *     (double RGBA in/out); the frame-level GPU path goes through
+ *     ColorTransformJob on the engine side.
+ *
+ *   - OakEngineColorConfig: owned handle to a standalone OCIO config (the
+ *     project properties dialog lists the colorspaces of a config file
+ *     before applying it).
+ *
+ * Change notifications (config reloads, reference space changes) are
+ * delivered through the event family: subscribe with
+ * OAKENGINE_EVENT_COLOR_MANAGER_CONFIG_CHANGED /
+ * OAKENGINE_EVENT_COLOR_MANAGER_REFERENCE_SPACE_CHANGED (oakengine/events.h).
+ *
+ * Error model: functions that can hit an OCIO failure report the reason
+ * through oakengine_color_last_error() (thread-local, buf/size
+ * convention). List/query functions never fail on a valid handle.

+ *     `texture` an olive::Texture*, `frame` an olive::Frame*.
+ *   - `out_texture` / `out_frame` are pointers to caller-owned
+ *     olive::TexturePtr / olive::FramePtr (std::shared_ptr) storage; the
+ *     callee assigns a newly created smart pointer into them, releasing any
+ *     previously held object. This keeps shared-pointer ownership/deleter
+ *     bookkeeping entirely on the engine side.
+ *   - `video_params` is a `const olive::VideoParams*`; `color_job` is a
+ *     `const olive::ColorTransformJob*`. These are passed as opaque pointers
+ *     because they are C++ types; both the caller (app) and the callee
+ *     (engine) are compiled as C++ against the same headers.
+ *   - `gl_context` is a `QOpenGLContext*` or NULL.
+ *   - `parent` is the owning `QObject*` (the display widget); the created
+ *     renderer is a QObject child of it and is destroyed by Qt ownership.
+ *     Do NOT call oakengine_display_renderer_destroy() and then also rely on
+ *     Qt deletion of the same renderer's GPU resources -- destroy() releases
+ *     GPU state, Qt deletion releases the object.

+/**
+ * @file events.h
+ * @brief C ABI for engine change notifications (the signal/slot replacement)
+ *
+ * The engine's C++ API notifies observers through Qt signals (Project::
+ * modified_changed, Folder::begin_insert_item, Track::block_added, the
+ * sequence's track/marker/workarea notifications, ...). This family exposes
+ * the same notifications to C consumers as a subscription/callback
+ * mechanism, so the application never needs to connect() to an engine
+ * QObject directly.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *
+ *   int64_t sub = oakengine_event_subscribe(handle, OAKENGINE_EVENT_..., fn,
+ *                                           userdata);
+ *   ...
+ *   oakengine_event_unsubscribe(sub);
+ *
+ * `handle` is a borrowed facade handle whose static type depends on the
+ * event family (see the table below); a mismatch or NULL handle fails with
+ * 0 (an invalid subscription id). Subscribing the same (handle, event)
+ * twice is allowed and returns two independent subscription ids.
+ *
+ * Thread semantics: callbacks are invoked SYNCHRONOUSLY on the thread that
+ * emits the change (the equivalent of Qt::DirectConnection) before the
+ * engine's own emission returns, exactly like the C++ connections they
+ * replace. The callback runs under whatever locks the engine holds at the
+ * emission site; it must not call back into editing primitives that mutate
+ * the same object. All engine objects live on the GUI thread, so callbacks
+ * normally fire there.
+ *
+ * Lifetime: the registry drops the subscription automatically when the
+ * observed engine object is destroyed, so a stale subscription id is never
+ * a use-after-free; oakengine_event_unsubscribe() on an id whose object
+ * died is a harmless no-op returning OAKENGINE_E_NOT_FOUND. The inverse is
+ * NOT tracked: `userdata` ownership stays with the subscriber, which must
+ * unsubscribe (or tolerate callbacks) until its own teardown.
+ *
+ * Event payloads use POD fields only. Timestamps are frame numbers in the
+ * owning sequence's frame-rate timebase (same convention as timeline.h);
+ * `handle`/`source` are borrowed pointers the callee may use during the
+ * callback only.
+ */

+ *
+ * Tasks are engine objects that run a job (project load/save, footage

+ * C consumers create the concrete task they need, run it synchronously or
+ * hand it to the global TaskManager queue, and observe its lifecycle

+ * OAKENGINE_EVENT_TASK_* and manager family
+ * OAKENGINE_EVENT_TASK_MANAGER_*), without ever seeing the C++ classes.
+ *
+ * Conventions (matching oakengine/project.h):
+ *   - OakEngineTask is an opaque borrowed/owned pointer to an
+ *     olive::Task subclass.
+ *   - A task returned by an oakengine_task_create_*() function is OWNED by
+ *     the caller until either oakengine_task_manager_add() (the manager
+ *     takes ownership and deletes the task when done) or
+ *     oakengine_task_free() (the caller deletes it). A task that ran via
+ *     oakengine_task_start_sync() is still owned by the caller and must be
+ *     released with oakengine_task_free() (or handed to the manager,
+ *     though re-running is unusual).
+ *   - Once a task was added to the manager its handle must be treated as
+ *     borrowed: the manager may delete it at any time after the
+ *     OAKENGINE_EVENT_TASK_MANAGER_TASK_REMOVED notification.
+ *   - Return codes: 0 (OAKENGINE_OK) on success, negative OAKENGINE_E_*
+ *     on failure. String output uses the buf/size convention (return value

+ * @brief C ABI for synchronous node-graph value evaluation
+ * (olive::NodeTraverser)
+ *
+ * The engine evaluates a node's value at a given time by traversing its
+ * input graph (olive::NodeTraverser). The application uses this in three
+ * places: the node table view (per-input value databases), the node value
+ * tree (one output table + the element a downstream input's value hint
+ * selects) and the viewer display gizmos (a transform between two nodes
+ * and the gizmo node's input row at drag start). This family exposes
+ * those paths without leaking NodeValueTable/NodeValueRow C++ types.
+ *
+ * All evaluation is SYNCHRONOUS on the calling thread and CPU-only in
+ * this family (textures are resolved as engine-side dummy textures, which
+ * is exactly what the table/tree views need -- they only read metadata).
+ * Call from the GUI thread.
+ *
+ * OakEngineTraverseDb is an OWNED result object; free it with
+ * oakengine_traverse_db_free(). Strings it returns point into the object
+ * and are valid until freed. Times are Rational seconds as int64
+ * numerator/denominator pairs, like the rest of the facade.

+ * @file worker.h
+ * @brief C ABI for the render worker process logic
+ *
+ * The render worker (oak-render-worker) is a headless render process spawned
+ * by the editor through the render worker pool. All of its runtime logic —
+ * Qt application setup, render backend initialization, the startup handshake
+ * and the NDJSON control-message loop — lives inside liboakengine behind this
+ * pure C interface, so the worker executable itself contains no engine C++
+ * ABI usage.
+ *
+ * Two entry levels are exposed:
+ *
+ *   - oakengine_worker_main(): a drop-in main() for the worker executable.
+ *     It creates the QGuiApplication, parses --backend, initializes the
+ *     renderer, sends the startup handshake and runs the stdin/stdout NDJSON
+ *     loop until a shutdown message or EOF.
+ *
+ *   - The OakWorkerSession family: the same message-handling state machine
+ *     in a transport-agnostic form, so tests (and alternative transports)
+ *     can drive it line by line without spawning a process. Responses that
+ *     the worker would write to stdout are returned through the buf/size
+ *     convention instead.
+ *
+ * Conventions (mirrors ipc.h):
+ *   - Returned handles are owned by the caller and must be released with the
+ *     matching _free(). NULL is accepted by every function and yields a
+ *     no-op / zero result.
+ *   - String output uses the buf/size convention: the return value is the
+ *     number of characters that would have been written excluding the NUL,
+ *     so buf == NULL or a short buffer queries the required size. The output
+ *     is NUL-terminated whenever buf_size > 0.
