liboakcore is now a shared library that exposes only a C ABI: - every value class (Rational, TimeRange, Color, Bezier, AudioParams, SampleBuffer) and the free-function groups (StringUtils, fraction utils, Timecode) is wrapped in an opaque-handle C API under core/include/olive/core/oakcore/ (init/copy/free + self-first functions), implemented in core/src/capi/ - consumers keep the original C++ API unchanged through same-name wrapper classes that hold the handle and forward across the C boundary; original implementations moved to core/src/oliveimpl (namespace olive::core::internal) and are hidden from export - TimeRangeList/TimeRangeListFrameIterator are reimplemented inline over the wrapper (iterators/containers don't cross C ABI) - generic Value container stays internal (unused by consumers) and is no longer part of the public umbrella header - hidden visibility + OAKCORE_BUILD export macro; nm shows zero olive::* symbols exported - install into the platform's standard libdir (GNUInstallDirs); Windows DLLs next to the executables, macOS into the app bundle - TimelineWorkArea::in/out/length now return by value: the wrapped TimeRange getters return values, and forwarding them through const references dangled (found via RenderWorkerFootageTest crash) - tests: 9 new pure C ABI test executables (oakcore_*_test) covering every public C function; 4 stale legacy core tests removed (they targeted a long-renamed API and were never built due to a malformed option() that also kept OLIVECORE_BUILD_TESTS off) - CI/CD: oakcore.dll staged for NSIS, liboakcore.so added to the AppImage validation list, build-tree DLL copies on Windows

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" |
