 All notable changes to av-tools are documented here. The project follows
 semantic versioning once a first release is legally publishable.

+## 0.2.1 — 2026-07-27
+
+- Move the canonical source, manifest schema links, and package registry from
+  the personal `zemion` namespace to the `lotobo` (LocalToolBox) Gitea
+  organization.
+- Upgrade the Toolbox contract, React shell, and validation testkit to 0.2.3,
+  republished from the organization-owned registry without functional shell
+  changes.
+- Replace the generic starter favicon with original add·ideas
+  audio/video file artwork.
+
+## 0.2.0 — 2026-07-27
+
+- Allow recognized local audio/video to begin native browser playback while
+  FFmpeg inspection continues in the background.
+- Replace the fixed 30-second media-inspection watchdog with a bounded,
+  size-aware budget and report timeout expiry separately from user
+  cancellation.
+- Add an isolated, reproducible Chromium ST/MT Opus regression harness using
+  the reviewed cores, checked tone fixture and real built-in command plan.
+- Rebuild ST/MT core 0.12.10 with the upstream 5 MiB stack fix, lock and
+  deterministically package the exact assets, pass non-empty Opus encode and
+  re-probe in both modes, and enable Opus presets behind runtime capabilities.
+- Add bounded 0.04–10 second audio/video crossfades to normalized sequential
+  joins, including runtime `xfade`/`acrossfade` gates and clip-material checks.
+- Add bounded scene-change analysis and exact-PTS thumbnail/contact-sheet
+  extraction, with an honest no-scenes result instead of silent substitution.
+- Bundle unmodified DejaVu Sans 2.37 with byte identity, upstream archive
+  provenance and full terms; verify it in-browser before labelled contact
+  sheets and fail closed when `drawtext` is unavailable.
+- Add native execution coverage, pinned-core browser matrix steps and an opt-in
+  large-file browser playback-during-inspection evidence run.
+- Make removal of queued or active source inspections generation-safe, cancel
+  owned active probes and prevent stale results from updating deleted or
+  same-ID replacement assets.
+
 ## 0.1.0 — 2026-07-24

 - Scaffold a local-first React/Vite audio and video toolbox application.

+## Opus regression evidence

-Pinned core 0.12.10 predates upstream ffmpeg.wasm fixes associated with stack
-size and Opus zero-byte/out-of-bounds failures (including upstream issues
-`#591` and `#775`). Therefore:
+Published core 0.12.10 predates the upstream stack-size fix and stalled in the
+real Opus preset path even though it advertised the `opus` muxer and
+`libopus` encoder. Capability discovery alone was therefore not accepted as
+enablement evidence.

- decoder/encoder listing is not enough to certify Opus;
- real ST and MT fixture encodes must produce a non-empty, re-probeable output;
- the Opus audio and VP9/Opus presets must remain disabled with a diagnostic
-  if that smoke fails;
- a core upgrade requires new checksums, capability snapshots, legal review
-  and regression tests.
+On 2026-07-26 the Chromium harness used the checked
+`tests/fixtures/generated/tone.wav` fixture (32,102 bytes, SHA-256
+`0fd1f54d6be2f1cc7fd778775dd29cf184770d3716cf3394bf03ed54ac264c3c`)
+and the real built-in `audio-opus` preset/command planner. After rebuilding
+with the reviewed stack profile, the isolated ST and MT runs each:

-This is a known pinned-core risk, not a claim that every Opus job fails.
+- loaded the requested mode rather than a fallback;
+- mapped PCM audio to `opus (libopus)`;
+- opened the declared Opus output and reported its libopus encoder;
+- returned non-empty bytes within its independent containment limit;
+- re-probed the result as positive-duration Opus audio.
+
+```sh
+# Record JSON evidence.
+npm run evidence:opus
+
+# Positive Opus enablement/release gate.
+npm run test:opus-regression
+```
+
+The Opus audio and VP9/Opus presets are enabled only when the reviewed-core
+lock records both passing modes and runtime discovery finds every preset
+requirement. This is exact Chromium fixture evidence, not a claim about every
+browser, input or possible Opus build.

+As inspected on 2026-07-26, the active
+`/mnt/DATA/git/toolbox-portal/deploy/nginx.conf` has an additional worktree
+patch that extends the immutable FFmpeg cache rule from plain semantic versions
+to the one exact reviewed build profile
+`0.12.10-reviewed-stack5m.1`. The corresponding deployment tests accept the
+five reviewed core files and `version.json` while rejecting mutable-looking
+suffixes, malformed versions and unexpected paths. A clean temporary clone
+containing that exact patch passed the AV release assembly smoke without a
+known-header-gap override.

-Smallest required Portal change: append exactly
-`media-src 'self' blob:;` to that CSP. This permits only same-origin and
-in-memory Blob media; it does not permit remote media hosts, inline script or
-eval. If the Portal is not changed, conversion/download can remain available
-but Blob source/result preview must show a clear disabled reason.
-
-As inspected on 2026-07-24, the active
-`/mnt/DATA/git/toolbox-portal/deploy/nginx.conf` contains that exact directive
-as a local worktree patch. The worktree still resolves to the immutable
-revision above, so the patch is useful for local deployment testing but is not
-a committed Portal revision and must not be cited as published release
-evidence. The clean-reference assembly smoke therefore continues to require
-`--allow-known-header-gap` until a reviewed Portal commit contains the fix.
-
-The nginx profile includes `.wasm` in its static allowlist/gzip types but
-relies on the base image `mime.types`. Verify `Content-Type:
-application/wasm` against the pinned image; add an explicit mapping if the
-response differs.
+Until the cache extension is committed, cite it only as staged integration
+evidence, not as a published Portal revision. The clean `v0.6.0` rule leaves
+the reviewed profile at `no-cache`; that affects performance, not loading,
+MIME type, isolation or preview correctness.

 ## Caching

-The immutable Portal reference's cache map makes Vite content-hashed assets
-immutable but leaves versioned FFmpeg cores at `no-cache`. Correctness is
-unaffected.
-For performance, the exact directory
