     -enh (MrPierreB)            Add node animation playback to SubModels dialog.
     -enh (dkulp)                Media-compatibility "Convert Now" now special-cases animated GIFs that were used as
                                 Video effects and turns them into normal Pictures effects that properly handle animated GIFs
-    -bug (dkulp)                Replaced throwing std::stoi calls in OutputManager / xxxSerialOutput / HinksPix with
-                                non-throwing std::strtol so corrupt config or controller responses no longer crash.
-    -bug (dkulp)                State / Faces / Shockwave / VUMeter / Lyric / MatrixModel: added div-by-zero and
-                                map.at() guards on render-thread paths that could crash on edge-case inputs.
-    -bug (dkulp)                Faces / xlFontInfo / SpecialOptions / FileUtils / ip_utils / AudioManager: added
-                                missing locks around static / shared caches that were mutated concurrently from
-                                render workers and could corrupt or crash under heavy parallel rendering.
-    -bug (dkulp)                E1.31 / ArtNet / DDP SetManyChannels: bounds-check the starting channel before
-                                memcpy so an out-of-range channel can't overflow the packet buffer.

-                                every exit path; firmware-upload filename copy now uses bounded strncpy.
-    -bug (dkulp)                AudioManager: widened sample-loop counters to long so pcm conversion no longer
-                                overflows on multi-hour audio; added missing int16 clamp on the NONVOCALS / VOCALS
-                                mono fallback.

                                 filters run Apple CoreML inference against HTDemucs to split the audio into its constituent
                                 parts. Both the waveform and the playback signal follow the picked stem — so "Stem — Drums"
