⚡ Core Architecture: "Quantum Flow"

  • Unified Scheduling & Decoding (Quantum Flow): Introduced a "Fast/Slow Dual-Channel" architecture (FastLane + HeavyLanePool) that isolates instant interactions from heavy decoding tasks.
  • N+1 Hot-Spare Architecture: Implemented a "Capped N+1" threading model where standby threads are kept warm for immediate response, maximizing CPU throughput without over-subscription.
  • Deep Cancellation: Granular "On-Demand" cancellation logic allowed for heavy formats (JXL/RAW/WebP), ensuring stale tasks (e.g., during rapid scrolling) are instantly terminated to save power.
  • Direct D2D Passthrough: Established a "Zero-Copy" pipeline where decoded RawImageFrame buffers are uploaded directly to GPU memory, bypassing GDI/GDI+ entirely.

🎨 Visual & Rendering Refactor

  • DirectComposition (Game-Grade Rendering): Completely abandoned the legacy SwapChain/GDI model in favor of a DirectComposition Visual tree.
    • Visual Ping-Pong: Implemented a double-buffered Visual architecture for tear-free, artifact-free crossfades.
    • IDCompositionScaleTransform: Hardware-accelerated high-precision zooming and panning.
  • Native SVG Engine: Replaced nanosvg with Direct2D Native SVG rendering.
    • Capabilities: Supports complex SVG filters, gradients, and CSS transparency.
    • 2-Stage Lossless Scaling: Vector-based re-rasterization during deep zoom for infinite sharpness.
    • (Requirement: Windows 10 Creators Update 1703 or later).

💾 Memory & Resource Management

  • Arena Dynamic Allocation: Switched to a TripleArena strategy using Polymorphic Memory Resources (PMR). Memory is pre-allocated and recycled (Bucket Strategy) to eliminate heap fragmentation.
  • Smart Directional Prefetch:
    • Auto-Tuning: Automatically selects Eco, Balanced, or Performance prefetch strategies based on detected system RAM.
    • Manual Override: Full user control over cache behavior.
    • Smart Skip: Prevents "OOM" in Eco mode by intelligently skipping tasks that exceed the cache budget.

🧩 Infrastructure & Metadata

  • Metadata Architecture Refactor: Decoupled "Fast Header Peeking" (for instant layout) from "Async Rich Metadata" parsing (Exif/IPTC/XMP), solving UI blocking issues.
  • Debug HUD: Added a real-time "Matrix" overlay (F12) visualizing the topology of the cache, worker lane status, and frame timings.
