Deeply nested `.pcraft` files reopen.

Preferences no longer get lost when two windows or tabs save, or when a save fails.
Languages: the interface is available in 日本語, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Español, Русский and Čeština (Edit › Preferences › Interface › Language), with CJK fonts and IME input in the Type tool.
Files:
JPEG and other no-alpha exports composite transparency over white.
Formats without colour profiles get sRGB.
Truncated JPEGs and multi-frame files open with a warning instead of silently.

…and 224 more changes in the full release notes.

Automation (MCP / control channel) now needs explicit file roots. File access from automation clients is limited to folders you grant with `--automation-read-root <dir>` / `--automation-write-root <dir>` (or `PHOTOCRAFT_AUTOMATION_READ_ROOT` / `PHOTOCRAFT_AUTOMATION_WRITE_ROOT`), and paths must be relative to them. Without roots, automation file operations fail closed. The desktop control channel also requires the per-launch token printed at startup. Interactive file dialogs and one-shot CLI commands are unaffected.
Camera RAW: DNG, Canon CR2, Sony ARW (lossless and compressed), Panasonic RW2 and uncompressed Olympus ORF now decode. Nikon's compressed NEF and other formats still open their embedded full-size preview for now.
Indexed Color: no panic when forced colours fill the palette #17
MCP: a panicking command no longer wedges the headless session #16
Layers: Add Layer Mask uses the active selection #11
feat(ui): add Exit to the File menu #10
fix(ui): give menu bar labels more breathing room #8
Eraser on Background layer paints the background colour (fixes #15) #19
Open links in the system browser via a platform service (fixes #14) #20
Test: Image Rotation rotates every layer (re #1) #21
GPU: Rgba16Float fallback when Rgba32Float isn't renderable (fixes #7) #22
Add File > Open Recent (fixes #5) #23
