Sparseness was being applied for two different reasons at once. Aesthetic
sparseness is set by the extraction rate; labour sparseness only binds on the
plate, because a human draws each one. The mouth is traced and therefore free,
and in limited animation lip sync is routinely the densest element - on 1s
while heads hold on 2s and 3s.
So: the mouth gets a key on every frame, and the frame strip is now the
editing surface for deciding which frames need their own plate drawing. All
frames start kept; delete the ones you don't want.
- strip of face-cropped thumbnails, keep/drop per frame, keyboard driven
- worksheet panel lists the drawings needed and the range each one holds
- Suggest runs error-tolerance decimation on head pose as a starting point
- export writes sparse plate keys + dense mouth keys, with a hold manifest
- smoothContours: bounded exception to "never smooth the contour", which held
only while keys were sparse enough to reject detector noise by sampling
- averages are now a RADIUS in frames: 0 is off, 1 is +-1
- GPU delegate falls back to CPU instead of failing
- #synth / #frames autorun for headless smoke tests
