Animated shader backgrounds (aurora). Bench: no cost on GPU, +7 ms on WARP.

Chantier 3D, PR 3b. Spec complète et branche d intégration : #682. Empilée sur feat/3d-programme-time, à merger après.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added animated gradient wallpaper options: Drift, Aurora, and Waves.
    • Added an Animation control in background settings, available for gradient wallpapers.
    • Wallpaper animation choices are saved with projects and style presets.
    • Added localized labels and guidance across supported languages.
    • Added deterministic animation timing for consistent previews and exports.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Non-gradient wallpapers, webcam backgrounds, and still gradients remain static.
    • Older projects and presets safely default to no animation.

A gradient wallpaper can now move slowly behind the recording. The motion is a
new project appearance setting, `wallpaperMotion` ("none" | "drift" |
"aurora" | "waves", default "none"), and only a linear gradient drawn by the
compositor moves.

- Shader mode 5, all three backends, no new mode and no LayerCB change:
  fx.z = programme time folded onto 120 s, fx.w = motion index, mb.x = output
  aspect. Motion 0 leaves today's gradient untouched, byte for byte.
  drift: the axis swings +-15 deg over 20 s. aurora: slow value noise plus
  three gaussian blobs in the two stop colours (20-40 s Lissajous paths).
  waves: three soft sine bands across the axis, one band per 12 s.
  Periods divide 120 s, so folding the clock never shows a seam. Every frame
  stays a pure function of programme time.
- Scene: `background.motion` is optional on the gradient and omitted when
  still, so a still project sends the same payload. scene.rs defaults it with
  #[serde(default)] and maps an unknown value to None, so an unknown value
  does not fail the parse. The webcam bubble's gradient never moves.
- Settings chain: editorSettings, projectDefaults, style presets (a preset
  without the key reads as "none"; an unknown value is refused),
  stylePresetsEditor, projectPersistence (the CLI export reads through it),
  migrate's default editor state.
- UI: an "Animation" select under the background picker. It is disabled on a
  colour or image wallpaper and says why. It uses the same predicate as the
  scene serializer. 14 locales.
- Tests: GradientMotion parsing, the slot helper, sceneDescription payloads,
  settings/preset/persistence round trips, the pane's enabled/disabled
  states, and an env-gated D3D11 render test. That test checks that a still
  gradient is the same at every programme time, and that each motion gives a
  distinct, reproducible frame at 3, 9 and 15 s.

Metal is mirrored line by line from the HLSL but was not compiled here.
The animated background had no row in the per-frame cost ladder. It only
exists in a scene, so the row is an A/B of two scene fixtures that differ by
`"motion": "aurora"`, run through `poc-d3d --scene`.

- crates/fixture/scene-gradient-{still,aurora}.json: the two scenes.
- bench.rs: `--scene` now also applies the scene's live params, as the app
  export does. Without them the scene padding is ignored and the video covers
  the background in the visual proof.
- bench.rs: drop `ClipSource.hold_sec`, which the compositor no longer has.
  poc-d3d did not compile without this.
- rendering-performance.md: new "Animated background (C9)" section.

Measured 2026-09-16 on one machine (RTX 4070 Ti, Ryzen 7 5800X, ~55 browser
processes live). Sources are 6 s -c copy cuts of a local 1080p60 recording
because the frozen fixture media were absent. One warm-up pass, then 3
interleaved still/aurora rounds. Each value is the best over the rounds, in
ms/frame:

  HW preview C3 (best-of-5):   still 4.20   aurora 4.20   spread 59-70 %, void
  HW preview C8 (best-of-5):   still 6.76   aurora 6.77   spread 5.8-9.0 %
  HW export  C3 (1 run):       still 2.22   aurora 2.24   rounds 2.22-2.36
  HW export  C8 (1 run):       still 2.17   aurora 2.19   rounds 2.17-2.26
  WARP preview C3 (best-of-3): still 12.54  aurora 19.69  (+7.15, +57 %)
                               spread 2.2-6.3 %, one round per arm void

Aurora is free on a GPU, below the noise in every path. On WARP it costs
~7 ms per 1080p frame. The export does animate: a top strip moves by up to
22/255 between frames 0 and 300, against 4/255 when still.

Wallpaper motion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Editor motion state
src/components/video-editor/*, src/lib/ai-edition/*, src/lib/projectDefaults.ts, electron/*
Adds none, drift, aurora, and waves values to editor settings, project persistence, style presets, defaults, migrations, and test fixtures.
Scene motion payload
src/native/sceneDescription.ts, src/native/sceneDescription.test.ts
Adds optional motion data to gradient scene backgrounds and omits it for static or non-gradient wallpapers.
Motion control and localization
src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx, src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json, src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.backgroundMotion.test.tsx
Adds the motion selector, gradient-only behavior, translated labels, and UI tests.
Compositor motion slots
crates/compositor/src/scene.rs, crates/compositor/src/frame_geometry.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_*.rs
Parses motion values and passes time-based animation and aspect-ratio parameters to fullscreen gradients while keeping webcam gradients static.
Shader animation modes
crates/compositor/src/shaders.metal, crates/compositor/src/vk_shaders/layer.wgsl
Implements drift, aurora, and waves rendering for gradient shader mode 5.
Rendering validation and support
crates/compositor/tests/animated_background.rs, crates/fixture/*, crates/poc-d3d/src/bench.rs, technical-documentation/engineering/rendering-performance.md
Adds Windows integration coverage, gradient fixtures, benchmark setup changes, and animated-background performance measurements.

Explanation

The description gives a brief summary and performance note, but it omits the required template sections for related issue, change type, release impact, desktop impact, screenshots or video, and testing. The issue reference also does not use the required format.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the repository template. Add the required headings and checklist selections, use a valid issue reference such as "Refs #682" or "Fixes #682", and document testing commands or environments. Include screenshots or a video for the UI and visual changes, or state why they are unavailable if permitted by repository practice.
