i18n: test_lock() and lang_test_lock() used to be TWO different static
mutexes, so the i18n tests and the ~30 app/actions/dialogs tests that
mutate the language global never excluded each other. Windows thread
scheduling exposed the race: tr_falls_back_to_english_then_the_key got
the English value because another test flipped the language mid-assert.
Both entry points now lock the same mutex.
oak_test_plugin.c: on Windows the plugin DLL has its own CRT
environment block, so getenv() never sees what the host's
std::env::set_var set via SetEnvironmentVariableW — the interact
lifecycle test's marker file stayed empty ("lifecycle actions
missing: []"). Read the marker path through GetEnvironmentVariableA
on _WIN32.

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" |
