Stop trying to rotate the camera image based on device orientation.
The activity is now locked to portrait (screenOrientation="portrait"),
so the GL surface stays portrait-sized regardless of how the device
is held, and the camera passthrough goes back to the simple
texCoordsBack 90° rotation that was working before any of the
v1.1.6–1.1.13 attempts at landscape support.
Net effect: the camera image stays in the device's portrait frame
and visually follows the phone as it tilts (since there is no
inverse rotation cancelling it). The UI is also locked to the
portrait layout for now — a follow-up will add Modifier.graphicsLayer
rotations to the icon overlays so they stay readable when the phone
is held sideways. screenOrientation switched from fullSensor to
portrait; the rest of the file changes are reverts of the orientation
plumbing introduced in v1.1.6 and its follow-ups.
Bump to 1.1.14.

OrientationEventListener fires continuously on the raw accelerometer
tilt and crosses the ROTATION_90 / ROTATION_270 boundary at 45° — well
before the system actually rotates the activity. The renderer was
swapping its texcoord buffer at 45° tilt while the GL surface and
Compose layout were still in the previous orientation, so for the few
degrees between "OrientationEventListener fires" and "activity
rotates" the camera image rendered at the wrong rotation. Past that
window it snapped back into sync.
Use LocalConfiguration + Display.rotation to source the renderer's
rotation. Configuration only changes when the activity has actually
rotated, so the texcoord buffer flips in lock-step with the GL surface
and there is no transient mis-orientation. OrientationEventListener
is still used by capture for EXIF metadata.
Bump to 1.1.13.

Re-add landscape support, this time via four precomputed texcoord
buffers — one per Surface.ROTATION_* — instead of going through
SurfaceTexture.getTransformMatrix() (which doesn't honour
Preview.targetRotation for custom SurfaceProviders) or the manual
matrix composition attempts in v1.1.6–1.1.11.
For each device orientation the renderer picks the texcoord set that
both compensates for the 90° CW sensor mount and the activity's own
rotation under screenOrientation="fullSensor", so world-up stays at
clip-space-top. recomputeVertices swaps effective camera dimensions
between portrait and landscape so crop-to-fill picks the right aspect.
Verified empirically in the emulator across all four Display.rotation
values (sky-yellow band always lands at the top of the screen).
Bump to 1.1.12.

Roll back the rendering-pipeline changes from v1.1.6 (and the
subsequent attempts in 1.1.7/1.1.8/1.1.9): no more
SurfaceTexture transform-matrix-driven re-orientation, no more
rebinding on rotation, no more inverse-rotation correction. The
camera passthrough goes back to fixed portrait-oriented texcoords
and the crop-to-fill math treats the camera buffer as portrait
unconditionally.
The activity stays `fullSensor`, so the Compose UI and the GL
blur passes continue to follow the device orientation — only the
camera image itself is left untouched, which matches the
"normal camera doesn't flip the picture when rotating the phone"
behaviour requested.
Bump to 1.1.10.

Replace hardcoded portrait-only texture coordinate rotation with
SurfaceTexture.getTransformMatrix(), so the camera preview and capture
re-orient correctly when the device rotates. Also drive
Preview/ImageCapture targetRotation from the live display rotation, fix
the crop-to-fill aspect math to swap effective camera dimensions
between portrait and landscape, and make the slider control panel
scroll if it doesn't fit the shorter landscape height.
Bump to 1.1.6.

Move the ~220-line stack blur algorithm from ImageCaptureHandler into
its own util/StackBlur.kt object, making it independently testable
and reducing ImageCaptureHandler from 759 to 531 lines.
Split CameraScreen.kt (873 lines) by extracting:
- ControlPanel.kt: ModeToggle, ControlPanel, SliderControl
- CaptureControls.kt: CaptureButton, LastPhotoThumbnail
CameraScreen.kt is now 609 lines focused on layout and state wiring.

- Switch GLSurfaceView from RENDERMODE_CONTINUOUSLY to RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY
with OnFrameAvailableListener, halving GPU work
- Add crop-to-fill aspect ratio correction so camera preview is not
stretched on displays with non-16:9 aspect ratios
- Add LifecycleEventObserver to pause/resume GLSurfaceView with Activity
lifecycle, preventing background rendering and GL context issues

Users can now opt out of embedding GPS coordinates in photos.
The toggle is persisted via SharedPreferences and defaults to enabled.
When disabled, effectiveLocation returns null so no EXIF GPS tags are written.

Concurrency & bitmap lifecycle:
- Defer bitmap recycling by one cycle so Compose finishes drawing before
native memory is freed (preview bitmaps, thumbnails)
- Make galleryPreviewSource @Volatile for cross-thread visibility
- Join preview job before recycling source bitmap in cancelGalleryPreview()
to prevent use-after-free during CPU blur loop
- Add @Volatile to TiltShiftRenderer.currentTexCoords (UI/GL thread race)
- Fix error dismiss race with cancellable Job tracking
Lifecycle & resource management:
- Release GL resources via glSurfaceView.queueEvent (must run on GL thread)
- Pause GLSurfaceView when entering gallery preview mode
- Shut down captureExecutor in CameraManager.release() (thread leak)
- Use WeakReference for lifecycleOwnerRef to avoid Activity GC delay
- Fix thumbnail bitmap leak on coroutine cancellation (add to finally)
- Guarantee imageProxy.close() in finally block
Performance:
- Compute gradient mask at 1/4 resolution with bilinear upscale (~93%
less per-pixel trig work, ~75% less mask memory)
- Precompute cos/sin on CPU, pass as uCosAngle/uSinAngle uniforms
(eliminates per-fragment transcendental calls in GLSL)
- Unroll 9-tap Gaussian blur kernel (avoids integer-branched weight
lookup that de-optimizes on mobile GPUs)
- Add 80ms debounce to preview recomputation during slider drags
Silent failure fixes:
- Check bitmap.compress() return value; report error on failure
- Log all loadBitmapFromUri null paths (stream, dimensions, decode)
- Surface preview computation errors and ActivityNotFoundException to user
- Return boolean from writeExifToUri, log at ERROR level
- Wrap gallery preview downscale in try-catch (OOM protection)
Config:
- Add ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION permission (GPS EXIF on Android 10+)
- Accept coarse-only location grant for geotags
- Remove dead adjustResize (no effect with edge-to-edge)
- Set windowBackground to black (eliminates white flash on cold start)
- Add values-night theme for dark mode
- Remove overly broad ProGuard keeps (CameraX/GMS ship consumer rules)

Gallery imports now show the effect live as you adjust parameters,
matching the camera preview experience. Uses a downscaled (1024px)
source bitmap for fast recomputation via collectLatest, which
cancels stale frames when params change mid-computation.

Migrate all UI state from local remember{} to CameraViewModel for
surviving configuration changes. Add processing overlay indicator,
accessibility semantics on interactive elements, gallery preview
with Cancel/Apply flow, and consistent bottom bar layout.

- Null the Compose state reference before recycling bitmaps to prevent
the renderer from drawing a recycled bitmap between recycle() and
the state update
- Wrap ACTION_VIEW startActivity in try-catch for devices without
an image viewer installed

Instead of immediately processing gallery images, show a preview where
users can adjust blur parameters before committing. Adds Cancel/Apply
buttons and hides camera-only controls during gallery preview mode.

- Increase bottom padding and add systemGestureExclusion to prevent
accidental navigation gestures from the capture controls
- Save both original and processed images with shared timestamps
(TILTSHIFT_* and ORIGINAL_*) via new saveBitmapPair() pipeline
- Show animated thumbnail of last captured photo at bottom-right;
tap opens the image in the default photo viewer
- Add gallery picker button to process existing photos through the
tilt-shift pipeline with full EXIF rotation support

The feature provided no benefit on Pixel 7 Pro — both standard and
hi-res modes produced 12MP images since CameraX's standard resolution
list doesn't include the full sensor output.

Add an error StateFlow to CameraManager so camera binding failures
are surfaced to the user instead of silently swallowed by
e.printStackTrace(). CameraScreen collects this flow and displays
errors using the existing red overlay UI. Added Log.e with proper
TAG for logcat visibility.

Use rememberUpdatedState in ControlPanel to prevent stale closure
capture during continuous slider drags. This ensures the latest
blur parameters are used when updating, avoiding conflicts with
concurrent gesture updates from TiltShiftOverlay.
