A film stock ran at order 25, after white balance and exposure, and
everything after it — contrast, the curves, the colour mixer, the
grading, every mask layer's tone — acted on the film's display-referred
output, as though the frame had been scanned and then worked on. That
was a display-referred rendering in the middle of the chain, which D19
removes (FR-DEV-3f, FR-DEV-3j).
`film_sim` is now in `Stage::View` beside `view_transform`. While a
stock is loaded the composer emits it in the view transform's place and
not the sigmoid; otherwise the sigmoid. So every edit is a decision
about the exposure the negative receives, and the film is the last
thing that happens to the picture — after the detail stage too, in the
view pass, which already binds the film's tables, the mask array and
the grain's source position. Its per-layer settings blend there as they
did in the fused pass.
`op_renders` goes: a rendering is chosen, not suppressed, and the only
render with no view transform is the camera-space tap. The YAML order
moves to 190 so the panel reads in pipeline order; the stage, not the
number, is what places it.
Existing edits that combine a stock with tone or colour operations now
render differently: those operations used to act on the print, and now
act on the scene.
