## Unreleased

* **Raw brush** (ADR 0096, M7).
* **Smoothing Off** is the points you drew. The plain Brush opens there. The centre line is
the samples and the outline is the distance-field contour as line segments, with no cubic.
A command that omits smoothing stays at 50. Built-in presets keep theirs.
* **Thinnest** and **Max** are the widths at no pressure and at a full press (0.01 stage
pixels up to the size you set). A light pen, including the start of the stroke, can be a
hairline. Built-in pressure brushes keep the lightest width they were drawn at.
* The ink you see while the pen is down is one mesh of the samples, and it stays until the
stage picture shows that stroke. Every pointer position in the frame is kept.
* On macOS the stylus pressure is read (winit does not deliver it). Turning **Speed as
pressure** off leaves that pen alone and paints a mouse at full width. Speed is on for the
plain Brush, and the opening dash sets the width of the start.
* The view zooms from 5 % to 25600 %. Ruler steps of a quarter and a half stage pixel stay
readable there. Tilt, texture and scatter (ADR 0093) are unchanged. Object Drawing is
still off in the editor and on for a headless session.
* **Sound output polish** (ADR 0095, M5).
* The playhead follows the sound being **heard**: the device's latency is taken off and slow
frames are dropped rather than drifting (within a frame over an hour of play in tests).

Keep the historical minimum width for saved presets that lack min_size.

BrushPreset fills a missing min_size from its default, 0.01. Before this change, a pressure-sensitive preset painted at a tenth of its size at zero pressure. A saved preset with size: 20 therefore paints at width 2 at zero pressure. Without min_size, the same preset now paints at 0.01.

from_values (preferences) and parse_file (import) deserialize entries without adding the historical value. Add it for entries that lack the key. Entries that set min_size, including 0, keep their stored value.

Review comment at @crates/engine/src/brush_library.rs at line 68:
Update BrushLibrary’s from_values and parse_file deserialization paths to supply the historical minimum width for presets missing min_size: derive it as one tenth of the preset’s size, using the default size when size is absent. Preserve explicitly stored min_size values, including 0, and leave the existing deserialization and sanitization behavior otherwise unchanged.
