- Gather the union of every movie frame's all-sky tiles once and read them in bounded batches, replacing the per-frame prefetch scan and log.
- Fuse the fast supersampled-buffer clear into the FFTW pack pass so a resolved frame starts clean with no serial memset.
- Split parallel HDR->RGB8 tone mapping from PNG encoding.
- Add a bounded single-producer/single-writer movie output queue used by both observer movies and multi-frame imported lens maps, with writer timing and error propagation.
- Add --png-compression-level and --movie-output-workers shared|reserve-one.
- Add --fast-fftw-plan estimate|measure|wisdom|wisdom-update with strict wisdom identity sidecars.
- Add staged movie timing, regression tests, and docs.
Replace the nested spatial global convolution in fast_psf_accumulator_resolve with a reusable double-precision FFTW linear convolution on the CPU PSF backend.
- Add the private src/fast_psf_fftw.{c,h} module: zero-padded R2C/C2R plans, cached kernel spectrum and planar scratch, exact 1/(Pwidth*Pheight) and 1/N^2 normalization, (R,R) crop, and additive HDR output.
- Keep the previous nested loops as fast_psf_accumulator_resolve_spatial_reference for tests/benchmarks only; it is not a runtime fallback.
- Cache the circular row spans on FastPsfAccumulator and report one-time plan, kernel transform, scratch, and per-frame stage timings.
- Require fftw3_omp for CPU builds; HIP and dummy builds do not link FFTW.
- Namespace test/helper binaries by spacetime and build tag, and reject make test / psf-capture for non-CPU backends.
- Add tests/test_fast_psf_fftw.c (FFTW versus spatial), tests/benchmark_fast_psf_fftw.c, an FFTW CLI smoke check, and the 2026-09-25 benchmark record.
