The Mixer Brush could not be emptied. MixerState::clean dropped only
the pickup well, paint.mixerBrush refilled the reservoir from the
foreground before every stroke unless loadAfterStroke was false, and
the app always sent the defaults. A stroke on a new layer over an image
always carried the foreground color, and the options bar had no Load
Brush or Clean Brush control.
Cleaning now empties both wells, so a clean brush lays down only the
color it picks up from the canvas. The new commands brush.mixer.load
and brush.mixer.clean load and empty the brush. paint.mixerBrush reads
loadAfterStroke and cleanAfterStroke from the brush and applies them
after the stroke. Both are on by default, and a stroke with both on
paints as before. A stroke whose color differs from the one recorded
by the last stroke, load or clean loads that color first. A load or
clean records the foreground, so choosing a new foreground loads the
reservoir.
The options bar has the Current Brush Load swatch, whose menu holds
Load Brush and Clean Brush, and two toggles for the automatic Load and
Clean. Brush Settings shows the same two options. The new strings have
rows in every catalog.
Use the shared percentage row so the jitter amount does not look like a hue selection. Cover the rendered themed track, numeric and pointer edits, neighboring settings and engine journal replay.
Addresses the Hue Jitter appearance item in #3825; other assessment items remain open.

Background Eraser: main now samples and matches against the pre-stroke pixels (#4552); the
shared dab effect takes the pre-stroke surface so the live preview, whose working areas are
per dab, reads the same pixels as the commit.

#3467 traces a shaped tip's outline but scales it by the screen radius
alone, so on a rotated or flipped canvas (R, View › Flip Horizontal) the
cursor kept the document's orientation while the stroke did not.
The outline now goes on screen through the view's own axes:
ViewXform::map_vec maps a document vector (pixel aspect, rotation, flip,
zoom), and brush_cursor::tip_axes gives one tip radius along the
document's x and y. A plain view gives the same points as before.

Noise, Wet Edges, Build-up, Smoothing and Protect Texture toggle from
anywhere on their row while keeping the selected controls open. Keep
lock clicks independent and expose each switch as one accessible checkbox.
Give Smoothing a default-on enable flag so disabling it preserves the
amount and modes. Old brush JSON stays compatible; toolbar amount edits
and explicit stroke overrides enable it, and ABR imports retain disabled
smoothing values.
Cover row, checkbox, lock and keyboard gestures, old section selections,
command replay, presets, legacy JSON and 8/16/32-bit rendering.
Fixes#4283

* Brush and Pencil: hold ~ to erase
Fixes#3439. Holding ~ (the backtick key) with the Brush or Pencil makes
the strokes started while it is held erase, with that tool's own brush,
as in Photoshop; releasing it paints again and the tool never changes.
The key is a Tools › Temporary binding (tools.temporary.erase), so it
can be rebound or removed in Keyboard Shortcuts.
* Brush and Pencil: Clear painting mode, used by ~
Photoshop's Clear joins the Brush's and Pencil's Mode menus, after
Dissolve: chosen there, every stroke erases with that tool's brush until
another mode is picked. Holding ~ now puts the stroke in Clear mode too,
and the Mode menu shows Clear while the key is held. History names the
tool rather than the Eraser. Agents get it as "mode": "clear" on
paint.stroke and paint.pencil.
* Keep the Smoothing doc comment on smoothing_field

Pattern Stamp (aligned through LiveRetouch, Impressionist dab by dab) and
Background Eraser now paint during the drag; the release commits exactly the
pixels the live stroke showed (per-pixel tests at 8 and 16 bits). Spot
Healing keeps healing on release and shows a dark overlay while dragging.

Progress docs per craftrules standards/progress-docs.md: target-app parity (merges parity-estimate.md), gaps, roadmap with alpha gate, readiness by audience (full / mainstream / essentials) with Opus 5.5 hours, and UI, brush, format, hardware and localization parity docs. docs/parity.md is now docs/parity-checklist.md.
The Windows test failure (file_dialog::tests::save_dialogs_remember_where_each_document_was_last_saved) is pre-existing on main: the test hard-codes POSIX paths.
