preview_window_capacity used the *configured* worker count, so a window opened while workers were still handshaking (or after a crash) could claim every slot of the smaller live pool — the synchronous render ticket then never gets a free slot, and since the slot-releasing cleanup runs on the same UI thread that is blocked in TicketArena::wait, playback deadlocks permanently. Intermittent on Linux CI (the playback_display_tracks_the_playhead hang, caught by the new test watchdog): depends on how many workers had handshaken when playback started. Count only Alive workers (fall back to the configured count while none are alive, keeping the existing unit test semantics).

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" |
