The spec missed Ansel, and with it Aurélien Pierre's argument that a
display-referred curve early in the pipeline throws away what every
later stage needs. Read against that argument, the code broke it four
ways: the base curve was flat past its last point and so clipped every
recovered highlight; the detail stage was handed curved, clipped values
while its comments promised linear ones; the edits ran in camera RGB
because the matrix had drifted to after them, against ARCH §5.2; and the
tone curve clamped to [0, 1] around a 2.2 gamma mid-chain.
D19 records the decision: unbounded scene-linear colour from the matrix
to one view transform, last, after the detail stage. FR-DEV-3j specifies
that view transform as an adjustable operation (contrast, white) with a
default fitted to where the retired default curve put middle grey.
FR-DEV-3e retires the per-body base curves, whose own file called them
hand-tuned shapes of unknown provenance. FR-DEV-3f makes a film stock
the view transform when one is chosen, instead of a rendering at order
25 that the later edits acted on. FR-DEV-2 gains the acceptance test
that holds the rule, and ARCH gains §6.14 and the corrected §5.2 order.
