New app/playback/playbackcontroller.{h,cpp}: a lazily created
process-wide singleton whose set_playhead() forwards to
oakengine_viewer_set_playhead and re-broadcasts playhead_changed as a
plain Qt signal. Every app-side oakengine_viewer_set_playhead call site
(17 across viewer, timelinewidget, timelineview, import tool,
timebasedwidget, keyframecontrol, export dialog, mainwindow) now goes
through it.
Migrate the first four playhead subscribers off the raw C event
subscription / EngineEventBridge to the controller signal:
- TimeBasedView (issue 1)
- NodeParamViewWidgetBridge (issue 2)
- NodeParamViewKeyframeControl (issue 3)
- NodeParamViewConnectedLabel (issue 4)
Each stores a QMetaObject::Connection filtered on its viewer node and
disconnects on teardown; the viewer_sub_ members are gone. Plan docs
mark issues 0c and 1-4 as done.
Closes #30, closes #31, closes #32, closes #51, closes #52.

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" |
