`Operation::descriptor()` returned `&'static OpDescriptor`, and that lifetime
is the whole reason a build-time node is free and a run-time node is
impossible: only a compile-time literal can satisfy it, so no amount of
reading `ops/*.yaml` at startup could ever produce a descriptor the rest of
the application would accept. FR-PLG-2 says a bundled operation and a
third-party plugin are the same kind of thing, differing only in where the
file was found — and a lifetime outsiders cannot meet is exactly the second,
weaker format that requirement forbids.
So a descriptor is now owned and handed out as `Arc<OpDescriptor>`, with `Vec`
where it held `&'static` slices. `Arc` rather than a `&self`-borrowed
reference because the callers want to *keep* it: the develop panel collects
descriptors and then mutates the graph, and a borrow would tie the
descriptor's lifetime to a borrow of the operation it came from, which is the
one thing `&'static` was doing right.
The identifier newtypes deliberately did not follow. `ParamId` is `Copy`, is
compared in `match` arms against generated constants, is a map key in the
sidecar and history, and reaches Slint model rows; an `Arc<str>` there would
cost a refcount on every one of those and would take `match id { EXPOSURE =>
.. }` away from the generated code. They gain an interner instead, which is
honest about its lifetime rather than pretending to one — the set of ids is
bounded by deduplication and is process-lifetime by construction, because the
sidecar on disk names its parameters and an id has to stay resolvable for as
long as any edit naming it can be opened.
No behaviour changes. Every descriptor that was a `static` is a `LazyLock`
initialiser now, `Operation::helpers` borrows from `self` instead of being
`'static` so a future run-time node can own its list, and `Warp` and `Framing`
follow `Operation` so there is one shape rather than two.
The one place a descriptor is read per frame is `compose_full`, which takes
`descriptor().id` to prefix each active operation's uniforms, and `dr-ui`
composes on every frame it draws. That is a dozen atomic increments beside a
composition that is already building several kilobytes of WGSL on the same
call; it is noted at the trait method rather than left for a profiler to find.

A spot set now composes detail passes of its own, one per round, and they
go ahead of every operation's kernel. That placement is the decision worth
recording: a sharpening pass reads a neighbourhood, so sharpening a dust
mark before removing it smears its edge into pixels the repair's disc does
not cover, and what survives is a faint over-sharpened ring around an
otherwise perfect patch. It also disagrees with ARCH §5.2, which draws
spot removal after clarity — docs/spot-removal.md §5.1 is where that is
argued out.
Every length reaching the shader is in render pixels, converted here where
the framing is in scope. Both the centre and the source go through
`Framing::output_at` — the same map the fused pass applies to every pixel
— so a rotated photograph rotates the offset with no trigonometry, and the
radius is found by mapping a point one radius above the centre and
measuring, rather than by multiplying by a ratio this function has no
business knowing about. The tests turn and crop the frame and expect the
mark to stay gone, which is the property that arrangement buys.
compose_full now takes the spot set, because a photograph with a repair
and no sharpening still has a detail stage: a fused pass that encoded its
own output there would quantise twice and bind to a texture of the wrong
format. compose_detail_for takes the source size for the same kind of
reason — a RenderScale describes the region on screen, and a spot is
stored against the photograph.

Every neighbourhood pass so far has been a convolution, whose whole
description fits in the uniform block because its structure fixes how many
numbers it needs. Spot removal is not that shape: sixty-four repairs and
one repair are the same shader with a different buffer behind it.
So a pass may declare `storage`, which arrives at binding 3 as
`array<vec4<f32>>` with `arrayLength` in scope. The alternative — packing
the list into uniforms — needs a fixed maximum paid for on every frame, a
composer that can emit vec4 fields because a uniform array's stride is 16
whatever it holds, and it gives the next operation that wants a table
nothing to build on.
The property worth having is what stays out of the generated source: the
count is in the buffer, so placing the tenth spot uploads 512 bytes and
reuses the compiled pipeline, exactly as moving a slider does for the
fused pass. `changing_the_list_does_not_recompile` is that, asserted.
One bind group entry rather than two more layouts, and one placeholder
buffer allocated in `new` rather than sixteen bytes per pass per frame —
a zero-length storage buffer cannot be bound, and per-frame allocation is
what this module's documentation exists to refuse.

`cargo fmt --check` is a required step and had drifted across 45 files. Most of
it arrived this week: several operations were written in parallel worktrees and
merged by hand, and a hand-merge resolves conflicts without ever running the
formatter over the result.
No behaviour changes — this is `cargo fmt --all` and nothing else, kept as its
own commit so the next reader can skip it wholesale rather than search it for
one that matters.

The fused-fragment check in lib.rs cannot see a detail pass: it is a
separate shader composed at a resolution compose() never knows. The
kernel's own test now scans the block the composer wrapped, with comments
stripped so prose about the keyword cannot fail a test about the code.

Capture sharpening as a two-pass unsharp mask in the detail stage: blur
along x, then along y, each pass applying a one-dimensional high-pass to
luminance so the composite preserves a flat field exactly and matches the
textbook kernel on any locally one-dimensional edge.
The radius is stated in source pixels and converted once per render, so a
radius tuned on a fit view is the radius the exported file gets. Below one
render pixel the operation declines to draw rather than showing sharpening
the file will not contain, and emits a single pass-through that still
carries the output transform.
The develop session now renders through render_detailed, which is what
lets an active neighbourhood operation reach the screen at all.

Checkpoint committed by the coordinator, not by the authoring agent: the
session hit its API limit mid-task and left this work uncommitted. Committed
so it survives, NOT because it is finished - expect failing tests and
half-applied changes. The agent resumes from here.
