- oakrender: renderer/texture/frame/cache/colorprocessor/ticket/copier
all become by-value {ctx, addref, release, abi_version} handles over a
generic box; retain() folds into addref; new
oakrender_cache_wrap_borrowed for native caches from oaknode
- oaktimeline: marker list/workarea borrowed handles become value
handles (non-owning boxes) with explicit free
- oaktask: OakTaskTask becomes a value handle; ownership still moves
to the manager on start (owns flag flips)
- consumers (timeline/task/codec sources) migrated; tests everywhere
updated; suites green: render 45, timeline 117, task 106, node 96,
common 193, codec 18, audio 36

Roadmap
| Version | Theme | Core Deliverables | Boundary Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3 | Plugin Architecture Milestone | Production-ready OpenFX host support | Not about quantity of plugins, but "any OFX plugin loads without crashing" |
| 0.4 | Color, Audio & Performance | .cube/.3dl support, scopes (waveform/vectorscope/histogram), three-way color wheels, waveform auto-sync, BWF timecode sync, audio meters (LUFS/VU), proxy media workflow, hardware-accelerated export (NVENC/VideoToolbox), batch render queue |
Combines the previous 0.4-0.6 scope into one usability milestone: color workflow, audio sync, and 4K/8K performance |
| 0.5 | Animation, Tracking & Collaboration | Bézier keyframe curve editor, basic point tracking, image stabilizer, full multicam angle switching, OpenTimelineIO, EDL/XML import/export | Combines the previous 0.7-0.8 scope into one timeline/interchange milestone |
| 0.6 | Stability Milestone | Project file format freeze (backward compatibility promise), crash recovery, autosave, memory optimization | "Feature freeze" testing period before 1.0 |
| 1.0 | Production Ready | Complete documentation, installers, known issues list, community support channels | Declared "ready for serious projects" |
