Replace the single-pass 9-tap directional blur with a three-pass
pipeline: passthrough (camera→FBO), horizontal blur (FBO-A→FBO-B),
vertical blur (FBO-B→screen). This produces a true 2D Gaussian with
a 13-tap kernel per pass, eliminating the visible banding/streaking
of the old approach.
Key changes:
- TiltShiftRenderer: FBO ping-pong with two color textures, separate
fullscreen quad for blur passes (no crop-to-fill), drawQuad helper
- TiltShiftShader: manages two programs (passthrough + blur), blur
program uses raw screen-space angle (no camera rotation adjustment)
- tiltshift_fragment.glsl: rewritten for sampler2D in screen space,
aspect correction on X axis (height-normalized), uBlurDirection
uniform for H/V selection, wider falloff (3x multiplier)
- New tiltshift_passthrough_fragment.glsl for camera→FBO copy
- TiltShiftOverlay: shrink PINCH_SIZE zone (1.3x, was 2.0x) so
pinch-to-zoom is reachable over more of the screen
- CameraManager: optimistic zoom update fixes pinch-to-zoom stalling
(stale zoomRatio base prevented delta accumulation)
Bump version to 1.1.3.

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)

Add uIsFrontCamera uniform to shader and adjust coordinate
transformations for front camera's mirrored texture coordinates:
- Position transform: (1-posY, 1-posX) instead of (posY, 1-posX)
- Angle transform: -angle - 90° instead of +angle + 90°
Applied to linearFocusDistance, radialFocusDistance, and blur
direction calculations in sampleBlurred.

Apply screen aspect ratio correction to offset.y (screen X direction)
instead of offset.x (screen Y direction) in both linear and radial
mode distance calculations. This fixes angle distortion at non-90°
rotations in portrait mode.

Transform screen coordinates to texture coordinates (90° CW rotation):
- Position: (x,y) -> (y, 1-x)
- Angle: θ -> θ + 90°
Applied in linearFocusDistance, radialFocusDistance, and sampleBlurred
to fix preview not matching UI overlay position and rotation.

State persistence:
- Use rememberUpdatedState to always get latest params inside pointerInput
- Capture gestureStartParams at beginning of each gesture
- All adjustments now use initial values + accumulated change
Drag tracking:
- Track initialDragCentroid at drag start
- Calculate total drag offset from initial point (not frame-by-frame)
- Drag now properly moves focus center 1:1
Shader rotation sync:
- Adjust angle by -90° in shader to compensate for portrait texture rotation
- Preview blur effect now rotates in sync with overlay UI

2D positioning:
- Add positionX parameter to BlurParameters (was only Y before)
- Update shader with uPositionX and uPositionY uniforms
- Single-finger drag now moves focus center anywhere on screen
- Update gradient mask generation for capture
Rotation tracking:
- Remove dampening from rotation gesture (1:1 tracking)
- Rotate gesture now directly tracks finger movement
- Preview effect rotates in sync with overlay
Overlay and shader sync:
- Both now use same positionX, positionY, angle parameters
- Preview blur effect matches overlay visualization

- Move #extension directive to first line (required by GLSL)
- Replace array initializer syntax with getWeight() function
(float[]() constructor not supported in GLSL ES 1.00)
