Mike-Solar b36cbd6b6f refactor: purge CHandle from module internals (M14 R5)
Module-internal object references are Rust types now (values, Arc,
Mutex); CHandle remains only at the oakengine C-ABI boundary:

- oakundo: the global stack holds UndoStack/UndoCommand values
  directly (stack token is the static's address)
- oaktimeline: marker/workarea boxes carry Arc<Mutex<T>>; commands
  share the same allocation through Arc clones (readers in oakengine
  stubs and the app's graphops updated to lock)
- oaktask/oakstorage: sessions, write-through bindings and the
  database backend pass ProjectArc; the Session drops its manual
  release bookkeeping; nodeutil keeps the CHandle<->Arc boundary
  conversion (release_project restored for the app)
- oakcodec: handle.rs deleted outright (no facade entry needed it);
  texture/block placeholders are unit structs
- oakrender: copier's project handle is an identity u64; alive-count
  machinery removed; handle.rs is make_owned/get/get_mut only
- oakplugin: the instance registry is gone (its unregister key never
  matched, leaking weak entries); handle.rs is the RefBox boundary type
- oaknode/oakcommon: only dead guard/borrow helpers removed; external
  payload handles (texture/processor) documented as the boundary

Flake hunts landed along the way: the audio recording test serializes
on the shared manager lock with a normalized state; the autocacher
cancel test uses a slow producer so cancellation is deterministic.

# oaktimeline Rust crate (declaration draft, for review)
> Status: **declaration draft**. Signatures + doc comments are the
> spec; every body is `todo!()`. Not wired into any build.
> The crate template (FFI discipline, testing layers) follows
> `crates/oakplugin/README.md` and `crates/oaknode/README.md`.
## Scope
Replaces the C++ oaktimeline module (`src/timeline/src`): timeline
markers and work areas, the timeline undo-command family (add/remove
tracks, place/trim/split blocks, ripple edits, slide, gap insertion),
and the shared `Timeline` namespace / utility helpers.
Public contract: `include/timeline/*.h` (`error.h`, `displaymode.h`,
`marker.h`, `workarea.h`, `edit.h`) — frozen, implemented verbatim by
`src/ffi.rs`. The timeline value handles (`OakTimelineMarkerList`,
`OakTimelineWorkArea`) and every edit command are exported through this
ABI only; consumers (the facade/app, the oaknode crate) never see the
internal Rust types.
## Key architectural decisions (C++ → Rust mapping)
1. **Domain modules mirror the C++ header files.** The C++ module is a
flat set of headers, not a deep class hierarchy, so the Rust crate
keeps one module per C++ header family (`common`, `marker`,
`workarea`, `undocommon`, `undotrack`, `undogeneral`, `undopointer`,
`undoripple`, `undosplit`, `util`). `COVERAGE.md` maps every C++ type
to its Rust home; review that first.
2. **No C++ `UndoCommand` subclass hierarchy.** Following the oaknode
crate decision (#4), each undo command is a plain Rust struct that
exposes `prepare()` / `redo()` / `undo()` (all `todo!()` here) and
is surfaced to the world through the oakundo C ABI vtable
(`bridge::undo::oakundo_command_init`, Rust callbacks as `userdata`).
Every command struct carries a `to_command()` factory that wraps it
into an `oakundo::undocommand::UndoCommand` value for the undo stack.
3. **Value types come from `oakcore-rs`.** Markers and work areas are
built on `Rational`/`TimeRange`, so the crate depends on
`oakcore-rs` (`crates/oakcore`) exactly like oaknode does; no
pixel/sample formats are involved here.
4. **All cross-module access goes through the C ABI.** Per the project
rule (no cross-module C++ member calls), timeline commands touch the
node graph exclusively through the oaknode C ABI
(`bridge::node`), undo through the oakundo C ABI (`bridge::undo`),
and XML/config through the oakcommon C ABI (`bridge::common`). The
C++ internal helpers `oakundo_capi::make_command_handle` /
`oaknode_c_api::to_native` are **not** replicated in Rust — their
role is subsumed by vtable commands and by value handles treated as
opaque.
5. **Handles.** `handle.rs` keeps the `RefBox`/`CHandle` scaffolding
for the oakengine facade boundary (the C ABI export layer is the only
place left that talks handles). Every `make_owned` value handle boxes
an `Arc<Mutex<T>>` — the same pattern as the oaknode project handles —
so the crate's commands hold the shared marker list / work area as a
plain Rust `Arc<Mutex<…>>` and the facade entries convert the handle
back to the `Arc` at the boundary.
## Layout
```
src/
lib.rs crate doc + module map
error.rs error codes (mirrors include/timeline/error.h)
handle.rs refcounted-handle scaffolding (same pattern as node)
common.rs Timeline namespace (MovementMode/ThumbnailMode/
WaveformMode, EditToInfo) — timelinecommon.h
marker.rs TimelineMarker/MarkerList + 5 marker commands
workarea.rs TimelineWorkArea + 2 workarea commands
undocommon.rs node/block remove helpers + MultiUndoCommand
undotrack.rs track ripple/prepend/insert-after/replace commands
undogeneral.rs resize/media-in/add/remove-track/transition/gap/
enable-disable/insert-gaps/default-transition commands
undopointer.rs BlockTrimCommand/TrackSlideCommand/TrackPlaceBlockCommand
undoripple.rs ripple remove-area / ripple-tool / delete-gaps commands
undosplit.rs BlockSplitCommand/BlockSplitPreservingLinksCommand/
TrackSplitAtTimeCommand
util.rs timelineutil.h inline helpers (rat_nd, same_*,
free_detached_handle, block/track queries)
bridge/ C ABI imports: node.rs, undo.rs, common.rs
ffi.rs include/timeline/*.h export layer
tests/ contract + golden tests (see README test section)
```
## Hard rules for the implementer
1. Every `extern "C"` body goes through `handle::guard*`; no panic
crosses FFI.
2. Timeline objects never outlive their owning node; borrowed handles
are created under a guard that owns the node reference.
3. Behavior parity with C++ is proven by the C ABI test-suite
(`src/timeline/tests`, unchanged) plus the golden tests in `tests/`
(XML save/load formats captured verbatim from
`src/timeline/src/timelinemarker.cpp` / `timelineworkarea.cpp`).
4. Where C++ behavior is genuinely load-bearing but ugly (e.g. marker
list kept sorted by time, ripple's compensation gap rules), port the
behavior, not the aesthetics; leave a `// CPP-PARITY:` comment with
the C++ file:line.
## Dependency policy
Prefer mature third-party crates (MIT/Apache-2.0/BSD, GPL-compatible)
over hand-rolling; register each addition (name + reason) here. Large
existing C++ libraries (OTIO, OCIO, OIIO, FFmpeg) are NEVER rewritten
— they are consumed through their C ABI / bridge layers.
