…n ExportDialog and webcamSegmentation
Fourteen of the fifteen review findings; the fifteenth (transparent export losing its alpha) is structural and documented instead. Correctness: - The pre-rendered track was saved through `storeRecordedVideo`, which is the recording-session finaliser, not a file-save: it reset the current session, cleared `currentProjectPath`, flushed cursor telemetry and wrote a `.session.json`. Exporting with an effect on corrupted the app's session state. Adds a `write-derived-media` IPC that only writes a file. - `locateFile` returned a root-absolute `/mediapipe/...` URL, which resolves to the filesystem root under `file://` — the feature only ever worked in the Vite dev server. Routed through `getAssetPath`, like wallpapers. - MediaPipe's `onResults` is a single callback slot and was re-registered per frame, so a `seeked` landing mid-render stranded the previous promise and the preview froze for good. One listener for the segmenter's lifetime, sends serialised through a queue, watchdog on a dropped frame. - `video.duration || 1` let `Infinity` through (MediaRecorder WebM with no Duration header), and the pre-render loop never terminated. - Custom backgrounds only filled for `#`/`rgb` strings, so gradients and image wallpapers exported as black. Now dispatched through `classifyWallpaper` and painted with the existing gradient helpers. - A failed save returned a bare filename that was then used as a source path. - The preview canvas ignored the webcam crop the native path applies. - `webcamBackgroundMode` was read unvalidated and `webcamBlurIntensity` unclamped. Dead and unrelated code: - The HLSL person-mask heuristic and the `effect_mode` plumbing were unreachable: the only draw that could reach them was gated off. `shaders.hlsl` and `scene.rs` are now byte-identical to main. The load-bearing part — the app owning the webcam layer in preview — is done in TypeScript instead, so it holds on all three backends rather than Windows only. - `webcamEffect` was written and never read, sentinel included. - `BackgroundPane` was a dead copy of a surface deliberately removed in #84. - The `OPENSCREEN_START_EDITOR` branch was unrelated and skipped the unsaved-changes guard. Reuse: - `WallpaperPicker` is now the single implementation, used by both call sites, with the `role="tab"`/`aria-selected` the copy had dropped. - The blur slider uses `SliderCell` instead of an uncontrolled copy of it. - The export pre-render is shared by both exporters. Adds `webcamSegmentation.test.ts` covering the result-channel protocol — the class of bug that has no other way of being caught.
…sured The feature composites the camera in two different places — a DOM canvas in preview, the shader at export — which is what breaks the "preview and export are ISO because they run the same code" property, and what makes transparent export impossible (the baked track round-trips through a codec that cannot carry alpha). Writes down the constraint that shapes any fix: the mask reaches the shader cheaply (`t3` is free, `fx.y/.z` are free in mode 0), but producing it on the device that consumes it is the hard part — DirectML binds to a D3D12 device, not the compositor's D3D11 one, and the platform story is three different answers. Rather than build the interop first, this names the measurement that decides: per-frame inference cost against the compositor's budget on the target integrated GPU. The ledger already records encoder pipelining being rejected for exactly that reason — contention on the same queue. Adds a self-contained brief for running that measurement on a test machine, bound to the §C.2 protocol (warm-up discarded, spread gate, ratios not absolutes) so the result comes back admissible.

Do not materialize complete webcam tracks in memory.
This call preprocesses each distinct webcam source before export. prepareSegmentedWebcamTrack encodes the full video.duration into a BufferTarget, then sends the complete ArrayBuffer through IPC. write-derived-media creates another Buffer copy.
At the configured 4 Mb/s bitrate, one hour can require about 1.8 GB before IPC copies. A short timeline clip from a long source has the same exposure because preprocessing is source-wide. Stream encoded output to approved storage, or process only required source ranges, before invoking the native export.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not restore the native webcam source after delegation.
When appOwnsWebcamLayer is true, the active-clip effect still passes camera.path to setActiveClip. This restores native raw webcam rendering after a clip change. In transparent mode, the raw frame fills the cutout background and makes the effect appear inactive.
Do not provide the native webcam source while the segmentation canvas owns the layer. Keep cameraPath only for scene sizing. Add a regression test that changes clips with transparent mode enabled and verifies that no native webcam source is supplied.
As per coding guidelines: “Add a test for every new behavior in the same package as the code under test.”

Protocol per Full report with all arms and discarded runs: https://claude.ai/code/artifact/8a5b4e87-f1b8-4a05-a86b-7f066e2107c2 Hardware — this is an integrated GPU, so the result transfersAMD Radeon 610M on a Ryzen 5 7520U (Mendocino, RDNA2, 2 CU), no discrete GPU present. Driver 32.0.11038.3, D3D11 feature level 11_1, ASUS Vivobook Go E1404FA, 16 GB shared, on AC. This is the pessimistic end of the target class, so a pass here is meaningful and a fail here would not have been conclusive for stronger iGPUs. Warning The battery charged from 34 % to 67 % at 13–18 W throughout the session, so the SoC power envelope was moving under the measurement. Combined with thermal load this voided an entire run (see below). Only the ratios survive it — absolute fps from this machine are not comparable to the reference. The brief's table
The gate — qualified yesCompositor alone 11.07 ms/frame → with a 60 Hz segmentation load on the same GPU 14.08 ms/frame = +3.01 ms/frame. Against an isolated inference cost of 3.80 ms, that means ≈79 % of the model's own runtime is billed straight to the compositor's frame time. The DirectML (D3D12) queue and the compositor's D3D11 queue are very nearly serialising — the same shape as the encoder-pipelining loss already in the ledger.
Important +3.01 ms is a floor, not the delivered cost. Two processes contending measures queue contention only. It excludes everything option B actually adds: D3D11↔D3D12 shared-handle interop, the NV12→RGB conversion feeding the model, and the mask upload. The real number is above this, and the headroom is 2.59 ms. Task 1 — isolated inference latencyThe conversion was not clean, and the latency would have been worthless if I had trusted it.
Repaired rather than substituting a pre-converted model from the internet (no new supply chain):
Result passes Correctness gate passed — mask verified on two real webcam frames (an in-repo website asset and a genuine capture from the app's own webcam path). Both give a clean person silhouette, not noise. CPU and DirectML agree to 1e-4.
ms/inference, batch 1, warm, 300 iterations after 40 discarded. ONNX Runtime 1.23.0, DirectML 1.15.4. Profiling confirms 100 % of kernel time on the DirectML provider — the graph fuses to Note DirectML is slower than the CPU at the median (3.80 vs 3.58 ms) — the opposite of the assumption the design rests on. At 256×144 the model is too small for a 2-CU iGPU to amortise dispatch. What DML buys is the tail: p95 4.33 vs 5.34, and a much tighter max. On this hardware class, moving inference to the GPU is a bid for predictability and a free CPU, not for latency. Task 2 — contentionThree arms per round, not two. Arm N is a control: identical pacing loop and spin-wait, no GPU work at all. Without it a drop in arm B cannot be distinguished from the load generator stealing CPU — and the ratio is the whole deliverable.
The control settles it: N/A = 1.007. The pacing loop costs nothing measurable, so the whole of arm B's deficit is GPU contention. Per-round paired ratios are tight and mutually consistent — 0.769 / 0.803 / 0.786 — which is what gives the headline its weight despite one void arm. Excluding B2 entirely gives 0.778; the conclusion is unchanged either way. Secondary probe — preview mode (no encoder)
Contention is far milder without the encoder: −6.5 %, +1.39 ms/frame. Read with care — the harness's What surprised me
What I could not measure
Runs discarded, and whyA void run reported as void is a useful result; a void run reported as a number is a harmful one.
Machine state during the admissible run. Edge and its WebView2 hosts killed, Parsec stopped and confirmed at zero GPU. Residual: the agent's own UI process held a constant 4.5–8 % of the 3D engine on both arms, and two other tools stayed resident on CPU. Not a perfectly quiet machine — but the residual is constant across arms, which is what the ratio requires. |
…wrong lever Parsing the vendored `selfie_segmentation_landscape.tflite` as a flatbuffer settles what the round-1 measurement could only hint at. 246 nodes, of which 110 are `DEQUANTIZE` — the weights are already fp16 at rest. Of the 136 real ops, 48 have a 1x1 spatial output; one of them is a convolution doing 128 MACs in an entire dispatch. The whole graph is 33.3 M MACs, and against a ~486 GFLOP/s device that is an ALU floor of 0.137 ms against 3.803 ms measured. 3.6 % of peak. 38 % of the dispatches perform 0.1 % of the arithmetic. So quantisation is dropped: it halves 416 KiB of weights that already sit in L2, on a GPU idle 96 % of the time, and removes no dispatch. DirectML and the CPU EP landing within 6.4 % of each other across two unrelated engines points instead at a shared ~2-2.5 ms constant in ONNX Runtime's per-Run() path. Records the levers in order of payoff — 30 Hz inference (+1.5 ms, a scheduling change), ORT session hygiene (~2 ms if whole-graph fusion was simply off), fusing away the Squeeze-and-Excitation dispatches (1.6-2.2 ms, and no off-the-shelf runtime will do it), fp16, and the CPU EP, which keeps the full 5.6 ms because it never touches the contended queue. Also corrects two things the earlier draft got wrong: the Linux backend is wgpu 24 + WGSL compiled at runtime by naga, not raw Vulkan with a SPIR-V toolchain to reuse; and macOS already shares one MTLDevice and one MTLCommandQueue between preview and export, so it needs no interop at all. Replaces the round-1 brief with the experiment ladder that follows from this, starting with the resolution sweep that can falsify the whole finding.

ONNX Runtime config_options.cc AddConfigEntry unknown keys accepted non-empty key length limit
💡 Result:
In ONNX Runtime, the AddConfigEntry method is used to set configuration options for both SessionOptions and RunOptions [1][2][3]. Official documentation and source code header files define specific constraints for these entries [4][5][6]. The constraints for configuration keys and values are as follows: 1. Key Length and Content: - The configuration key cannot be empty [4][5][6]. - The maximum length of the configuration key is 128 characters [5][6][7]. While some older or specific internal documentation may reference a limit of 1024, the primary source header files for SessionOptions and RunOptions consistently specify 128 [4][5][6]. 2. Value Length: - The maximum length of the configuration value is 1024 characters [8][5][6]. 3. Naming Convention: - Keys should follow the naming convention: "[Area].[SubArea1].[SubArea2]...].[Keyname]" (e.g., "ep.cuda.use_arena") [4][8][5]. Regarding "unknown keys": The AddConfigEntry API does not strictly validate the provided key against a predefined list of "known" keys at the time of entry insertion. Instead, it adds the key-value pair to an internal map [9][10]. Consequently, the runtime accepts arbitrary strings as keys, provided they adhere to the length and formatting constraints, allowing for extensibility and the configuration of various providers or experimental settings [10][3].

ONNX Runtime IOBinding CPU-bound I/O copied during Run device-bound I/O avoids copies official documentation
💡 Result:
In ONNX Runtime, IOBinding is a feature designed to minimize or eliminate redundant data copies between the host (CPU) and a target device (e.g., GPU) by allowing users to manage input and output memory locations explicitly [1][2][3]. By default, without IOBinding, ONNX Runtime typically expects inputs and outputs on the CPU [2][4]. If your model runs on a non-CPU device, the runtime automatically performs data copies during the Run call—copying inputs from CPU to the device before execution, and copying outputs from the device back to the CPU after execution [1][3]. These automatic copies are part of the execution time, which can create a bottleneck and lead to suboptimal performance [1][3]. Using IOBinding allows you to bypass this overhead: 1. Device-bound I/O avoids copies: If you pre-allocate memory on the target device (or provide pointers to existing device memory) and bind these buffers to the input/output nodes using IOBinding, ONNX Runtime can use this memory directly during execution [1][5][6]. This effectively moves the responsibility of memory management to the user and avoids the implicit copies that otherwise occur during every Run call [5][6]. 2. CPU-bound I/O and explicit copies: If you bind CPU memory to an input, ONNX Runtime will still perform a copy to the device if the model requires the data on that device [2][7]. However, IOBinding facilitates these transfers efficiently [8]. For example, in some APIs, bind_cpu_input is provided specifically to handle this transition, and operations like synchronize_outputs ensure that data transfers are completed correctly before the host consumes the result [9][4]. In summary, IOBinding enables you to "pin" your input and output tensors to specific memory locations (device or host) prior to inference. When these locations match the requirements of the model execution, you successfully eliminate redundant runtime memory copies, which is critical for maximizing performance in high-throughput or low-latency inference scenarios [1][5][3].

Separate transfer time from per-Run() time.
IOBinding with device-resident tensors and a NumPy round trip use different I/O paths. Their timing gap is an end-to-end I/O and execution delta, not only per-Run() overhead. Use matched device-resident buffers or ORT profiling to report transfers, synchronization, provider execution, and output-copy time separately.

Segmentation measurement — round 2 (E0): the overhead-bound hypothesis is falsifiedFollow-up to round 1. Round 2 asked where the 3.803 ms goes and which lever recovers it, starting from the claim that the GPU is idle 96 % of the time and therefore the cost is overhead rather than compute. E0 was run first, as the brief requires, because it decides everything after it. It falsifies the hypothesis, so I stopped there and did not run E1–E4 — per the brief's own instruction. No production code touched, no dependency added to the app, nothing committed. Scaffolding lives outside the repo. Hardware — same machine as round 1, in a better stateSame Radeon 610M integrated GPU, same driver 32.0.11038.3, so round-1 absolutes are comparable. But the battery is now at 100 % and not charging, against 34 % → 67 % charging throughout round 1. Round 1's absolutes were depressed by that moving power envelope; ratios are unaffected. This is why round 2 reads faster across the board. E0 — resolution sweepAdmissible. Two independent DirectML passes agree to 0.9 % at the shipped resolution and 2.0 % at the smallest size. Sizes are interleaved at the iteration level — every resolution timed once per iteration, in rotation — so all sizes share one thermal state to within milliseconds. Statistic is p10 over 400 samples.
Important Prediction: the smallest size would land at 2.5–3.5 ms. Measured 0.639 ms — four to five times below the predicted band. Falsified on DirectML and on the CPU EP (0.871 ms). The clinching data point is the one going up: the square variant has 1.78× more pixels and costs 1.63× more time — 109 % of proportional. Time tracks pixels in both directions, not just downward. Least-squares fit
This also falsifies E2's stated premise directly. E2 predicted "a shared constant of ~2–2.5 ms outside both providers". The measured shared constant is 0.43 ms (DML) / 0.70 ms (CPU). The per-node profile, and how it reconcilesThe Squeeze-and-Excitation signature is present at node level, exactly as described:
Heaviest convolution 3.981 MMACs → 246.5 µs; lightest 0.00013 MMACs → 29.4 µs. 31,104× the arithmetic for 8.8× the time. (Profiled on the CPU EP with graph optimisation disabled — DirectML fuses the graph into a single partition and reports one kernel event per But this does not make the workload overhead-bound, and that is the crux. Most of that plumbing — Transpose, Mul, Resize, Relu, Add, some 38 % of node time — runs on full-resolution feature maps. Its cost is per-pixel memory bandwidth, not per-dispatch overhead. Which is precisely why it disappears when the input shrinks, and why the sweep is linear.
Which lever to pull firstResolution, and it is not close. 192×112 costs 1.53× less for an IoU of 0.976 against the shipped mask — visually indistinguishable, and the model is fully convolutional so this is an input-shape change, not a retrain. 128×80 gives 2.64× at IoU 0.949 with visibly softer edges. Extrapolating round 1's +3.01 ms/frame contention — which nearly serialises, so it scales with GPU time — gives roughly +1.14 ms/frame at 128×80. That is an extrapolation, not a measurement. E1's 30 Hz stacks on top multiplicatively. One architectural constraint found along the way: both input dimensions must be divisible by 16, or the skip-connection What to stop pursuing
What this reopens
Runs discarded, and why
|
…th-bound The prediction was that shrinking the input would not speed the model up proportionally, because 3.6 % of ALU peak and 48 ops with a 1x1 spatial output looked like dispatch overhead. Measured, it is wrong in both directions: 1.78x the pixels costs 1.63x the time (109 % of proportional), and the fixed overhead fits at 0.43 ms on DirectML, not the 2-2.5 ms predicted. The Squeeze-and-Excitation plumbing is real at node level, but it runs on full-resolution feature maps, so its cost is per-pixel bandwidth rather than per-dispatch. The ALUs idle because the workload is bandwidth-limited, not because it waits on dispatch. "96 % idle" was a real number read wrongly. So the levers change completely. Input resolution is the lever and it is not close: 192x112 is 1.53x faster at IoU 0.976 against the shipped mask, which is an input-shape change on a fully convolutional model rather than a retrain. fp16/int8 is reopened for the opposite reason it was closed — halving precision halves the dominant cost when that cost is bandwidth. And the CPU EP measures 21 % faster than DirectML on this hardware while never touching the contended queue. Drops ORT session hygiene and the hand-fused SE kernel: both were premised on a large fixed cost that does not exist, and together they cap at ~14 %. Records two constraints found along the way: input dimensions must be divisible by 16 or the skip-connection Adds fail, and at 64x48 the model stops working rather than degrading.
The only unknown left that changes the architecture. The CPU EP already measures 21 % faster than DirectML in isolation (2.476 vs 3.119 ms p10) and never touches the contended GPU queue; if that holds under load it removes the D3D11-D3D12 shared-handle interop, the adapter-LUID matching, the cross-queue fence and the DirectML packaging cost, on all three platforms at once. The risk that could kill it is the box itself: 4 cores, 8 threads. An ORT CPU session left at default will grab every core and fight the compositor, so intra_op_num_threads is swept rather than assumed — and the interesting answer is likely not the fastest inference but the thread count where inference is fast enough and the compositor is untouched. Four interleaved arms including round 1's no-op control, run at both 256x144 and 128x80 so the provider choice and the resolution lever can be read apart. Starts from round 2's iteration-level interleaving and p10 statistic rather than rediscovering them. Adds a correctness check the timing rounds did not need: IoU 0.949 is a number, not a verdict, so the mask gets looked at as a 25 %-width PiP and at camera fullscreen, where a 128x80 mask is upscaled ~15x and edges are at their worst.

Scope the all-platform claim to measured evidence.
The cited measurements use one Windows Ryzen 5 7520U system. The PR also states that macOS and Linux were not measured. Say that the result removes the Windows GPU path, or verify the corresponding paths before claiming an architecture change on all three platforms.

Benchmark the achieved production inference cadence.
The production segmentation loop requests work on every requestAnimationFrame while the webcam plays. It allows one inference in flight and queues a trailing rerun. It does not use a fixed 30 Hz scheduler. Record the achieved rate and benchmark that rate, or both rates when they differ.

Require identical encoder placement in every arm.
Round 1 measured a 21.4% throughput loss with the encoder and 6.5% without it. Require A, N, B-dml, and B-cpu to use the same encode/decode/mux configuration, or report separate matched runs. Encoder presence alone does not prevent an arm mismatch from dominating the provider comparison.

State the baseline for the 14% cap.
The nearby values make this percentage provider-dependent: 0.43 ms is about 14% of DirectML's 3.119 ms p10 but about 17% of the CPU's 2.476 ms p10. Identify the provider and statistic used for the cap, or avoid presenting 14% as a universal limit.

Segmentation measurement — round 3: the CPU EP wins, and it removes the D3D11↔D3D12 interopFollow-up to round 1 and round 2. Round 3 asked the one question that still changes the architecture: does the ONNX Runtime CPU EP beat DirectML once both are running next to the compositor? It does — and the useful part is not the margin, it is the shape of the result. Same machine as rounds 1–2 (Radeon 610M integrated, driver 32.0.11038.3), battery at 100 % and not charging. No production code touched, no dependency added to the app, nothing committed. Contention armsAdmissible. Four arms, six configurations, interleaved round-robin, every B arm compared against the A of its own round — the only drift-robust statistic on this box. Load rate verified inside every single arm at 30.1 Hz (round 1's false result came from a "60 Hz" load that was really 38 Hz).
The control lands at 0.999 — the B deficits are inference, not the pacing loop. The control arm has now earned its keep in all three rounds; it should stay in the protocol. Important DirectML's cost scales with pixels; the CPU EP's does not. DML goes +1.03 → +0.51 ms when the input is quartered. The CPU EP sits at +0.47 ms at both resolutions — at 30 Hz with two threads it fits in the CPU slack either way. So the CPU EP at full 256×144 is cheaper than DirectML ever gets, even at reduced resolution. That is the decision. Paired per-round B-cpu/B-dml at 256×144: 1.004 / 1.102 / 0.984 / 1.094, median 1.049. I am not overselling that median — two rounds show ~10 %, two show parity. What is solid is the added-frame-time figure and the flatness across resolution. Thread count: pin
|
| config | 256×144 p10 / p95 | 128×80 p10 / p95 |
|---|---|---|
| intra = 1 | 3.716 / 13.195 | 1.515 / 2.931 |
| intra = 2 | 2.659 / 10.577 | 1.264 / 4.414 |
| intra = 4 | 2.469 / 16.461 | 1.284 / 13.607 |
| default | 2.465 / 24.940 | 1.502 / 24.454 |
intra=2 is within 8 % of the best p10 with less than half the tail latency, and leaves two of four cores to the compositor. The default is exactly the trap the brief predicted: a p95 of 24.9 ms is a dropped frame every time it fires. The right answer was never the fastest setting.
Visual check — 128×80 is not shippable, and it no longer needs to be
IoU 0.949 flattered it. Rendered where the mask is actually seen:
- PiP (~25 % of a 1920 canvas) — 256×144, 192×112 and 128×80 are indistinguishable.
- Full-screen camera (mask upscaled 15×) — 128×80 degrades badly. Soft-edge pixels go 3.1 % → 4.1 % → 8.1 %; hair detail collapses into a wide ramp and the silhouette picks up a visible halo.
192×112 is the safe reduced option (IoU 0.976, soft-edge 4.1 %). But since the CPU EP costs +0.47 ms at full resolution, there is no reason to reduce resolution at all.
What I would ship
ONNX Runtime CPU EP, intra_op_num_threads = 2, inter_op_num_threads = 1, 256×144, 30 Hz.
Cost to the compositor: +0.47 ms/frame out of a 9.03 ms budget — about 5 %.
Yes — the CPU EP removes the need for D3D11↔D3D12 interop. This is the real prize, and it is bigger than the latency margin:
- no DirectML ⇒ no D3D12 device, no shared-handle interop, no adapter-LUID matching, no cross-queue fence;
- no DirectML in packaging;
- the mask returns as a 36 KB CPU buffer and uploads into
t3as an ordinary texture write. That is an upload, not a readback, so it never touches the blockingMap(D3D11_MAP_READ)that dominates preview cost; - the platform multiplier collapses: one code path on Windows, macOS and Linux — and Linux stops being the weak leg, because "ORT has no Vulkan EP" simply stops mattering when no GPU EP is needed.
Runs discarded, and why
- Phase 1 with the Parsec client live — DirectML measured 5.572 ms p10 against round 2's 3.092 (an 82 % penalty) while the CPU EP was only 8 % off. Parsec loads the GPU, so it penalises the GPU arm specifically — precisely the bias that would have decided this round wrongly. Discarded and re-run once the client was closed.
- Round r1 of phase 2 — cold start. A = 94.5 fps against 110–114 for r2–r5, which pushed arm A to 20.5 % spread and VOIDed the run. The warm-up was
--repeat 2, too short. Discarding r1 brings every arm inside the gate (A: 3.7 %). Next protocol should warm up with a full--repeat 3sweep. - Phase 1's DML column in general — that sweep keeps 10 ORT sessions alive at once, so it is not an isolated figure. Only the
intra_opcomparison within the CPU EP is valid from it. - The head-to-head isolated check (CPU 2.05× faster at 256×144) — reported with a caveat rather than as a headline: alternating a CPU session against DML lets the CPU pool's spinning threads perturb DML's submit path. Round 2's cleaner isolated numbers give 1.25×. Neither changes the decision, which rests entirely on the contention arms.
Not measured
- Linux, where the export path is already CPU-heavy and giving two cores to inference may bite differently. This is the one place the recommendation could still fail.
allow_spinning = falseon the CPU thread pool — the obvious next knob for contention behaviour, left alone because session hygiene was out of scope after round 2 capped it at ~14 %.- fp16/int8, which round 2 reopened and which interacts with the provider choice now settled here.
Round 3 measured all four arms under contention with the no-op control that has now earned its keep three times. DirectML costs +1.03 ms/frame at 256x144 and +0.51 at 128x80; the CPU EP costs +0.47 ms at *both*. Its cost does not scale with pixels, so the CPU EP at full resolution is cheaper than DirectML ever gets at reduced resolution — about 5 % of a 9.03 ms compositor frame. The prize is architectural rather than the margin. No DirectML means no D3D12 device, no shared-handle interop, no adapter-LUID matching and no cross-queue fence, and the mask comes back as a 36 KB buffer that goes into t3 as an ordinary upload rather than a readback. The three per-platform inference stories collapse into one, and Linux stops being the weak leg because "ORT has no Vulkan EP" stops mattering when no GPU EP is needed. Two things the measurement corrected. The thread pool must be pinned to two intra-op threads: the ORT default takes all four cores on the target box and produces a 24.9 ms p95, a dropped frame every time it fires. And 128x80 is not shippable after all — IoU 0.949 flattered it, and with the camera fullscreen the mask is upscaled 15x, soft-edge pixels go 3.1 % to 8.1 %, and hair collapses into a ramp. Since the CPU EP is flat across resolution there is no reason to reduce. Adds the decision to the ledger, which is the file that exists so this is not re-litigated.

State the frame-budget conclusion precisely.
A p95 of 24.9 ms does not mean that every inference drops a frame. At 30 Hz, 24.9 ms is below the 33.3 ms interval. At 60 Hz, it can exceed the 16.7 ms frame budget under contention. Report the observed drop rate, or name the cadence and frame budget used for this conclusion.

First slice of the realtime design settled in rounds 1-3: the compositor can now take a per-pixel subject mask and composite the webcam background itself, instead of receiving a composite that was baked in the renderer and shipped through a codec. - `t3` carries the mask (256x144 R8, upscaled by the linear sampler — exactly the filtering a mask wants). `t0`/`t1` are the webcam NV12 and `t2` the wallpaper and sprite slot, so nothing had to move. - `ps_main` branches on `fx.z` in the video path: 1 detours, 2 blurs the background, 3 replaces it with a flat colour. `color` carries that colour and `fx.w` the blur intensity, both free on this layer. - `Compositor::set_webcam_mask` uploads from the inference thread into a DYNAMIC R8 texture, reallocated only when the model resolution changes. The device is already multithread-protected, which is what makes that safe. - `SceneWebcamEffect` is back in the scene contract, but honest this time: it carries the mode and its parameters, never pixels. The version removed in the review was written and never read, and encoded the cutout as a negative blur intensity. The effect requires BOTH a mode and a mask. Without a mask nothing is applied and the webcam draws as it always did, so this is inert until the inference lands rather than being a broken intermediate state — the same shape as a missing cursor sidecar. A cutout also suppresses the PiP drop shadow, since a shadow cast by an invisible box reads as an artifact. Windows only so far: macOS binds at `texture(3)` and Linux at `@binding(4)`, both free, and the HLSL-to-MSL convention is already documented in shaders.metal.
