A text layer's name followed its Source Text whenever the name started with "Text", so a user's
"Text Title" was replaced by the next text edit. The layer now records whether its name follows
the text (`name_follows_text`, optional in the project file). A new text layer named after its
text follows it; a name given at creation or by Rename (Enter, layer.rename, a script's
layer.name, Layer Settings' name) is the user's and stays; renaming to an empty name shows the
text again and follows it; committing the unchanged name changes nothing; copies keep the state.
On-canvas typing and layer.setText share the rule. The name is the text's first paragraph, which
ends at a line feed or a bare carriage return (After Effects' paragraph break).
Projects saved without the state keep the old rule for the names that followed: a name that is
empty, the text's own, or "Text"/"Text 2"... follows; any other name stays. AEP import records a
stored layer name as the user's and no name as following, and names an empty text layer without
a name "Text" instead of "Layer"; export writes no name for a following layer and keeps the name
the user gave, even when it equals the text.

* Layer: Un-precompose a selected pre-comp layer back into its parent composition (#2918)
layer.unprecompose copies the nested composition's layers into the parent at the pre-comp
layer's place with timing and position carried over, and refuses what it can't keep exactly.

* Un-precompose: refuse a pre-comp layer with Solo or Guide on
A soloed pre-comp layer hides the comp's other layers and a guide layer is
left out of renders; the expanded copies carry neither switch, so the picture
would change. Listed with the other blockers, in the command description and
the agents.md Cookbook entry; the refusal test covers both switches.

* Un-precompose: warn instead of refusing, only a locked layer stops it
A locked pre-comp layer is still refused, with or without `force`. Every
other former refusal reason is a warning: without `force`,
`layer.unprecompose` returns an error that lists the reasons and changes
nothing. `dryRun` returns `{dryRun, warnings}`. With `force` the layer is
unpacked in one undo step and the result carries `warnings`. Whatever the
pre-comp layer itself carried is dropped, and other layers' parent, track
matte and layer-property links to it are removed.
Layer > Un-precompose in the UI lists the reasons in a prompt with
Unpack Anyway / Cancel (`dialog.unprecompose.force` /
`dialog.unprecompose.cancel`). A layer without reasons unpacks at once.

* Un-precompose: warn about expressions that refer to the pre-comp layer
An expression on another layer of the comp that names the pre-comp layer
would no longer find it once the layer is unpacked. The expression can
name it in quotes or call `layer(<index>)` with its index, bare or on
thisComp; another comp's comp("…").layer(…) is not counted. Each such
property is now listed once as a warning. Like the other warnings,
`force` unpacks and `dryRun` lists it. The expressions are left as
written.

* Un-precompose: warn about lost frame sampling and Position expressions, keep markers in order
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit on #3081):
- A nested comp that preserves a frame rate other than the parent's
samples its layers on its own frames, and the expanded copies would
lose that. Motion-blurred nested layers under a different shutter
would also blur with the parent's shutter. Both are now warnings.
- When the pre-comp layer's Position differs from its Anchor Point, the
move is added to the stored Position of the unparented nested layers.
An unparented layer whose Position, or a separated axis, has an
expression may ignore that move, so it is now a warning.
- Copied comp markers are sorted into time order with the comp's own.
- New tests: a 10 fps nested comp with Preserve Frame Rate in a 30 fps
comp, a different shutter, a Position expression with and without a
move, and nested matte and layer-value remapping with shifted markers
merged in order.

* Un-precompose: warn when an expression's layer numbers shift; the prompt keeps its target

* Masks: set the corner roundness of a Rounded Rectangle mask (#3067)
layer.addMask takes a roundness (corner radius in px) for shape rounded, and the new
mask.setRoundness changes it afterwards on a rectangular mask.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Mask roundness: refuse ellipses, keep feather points and key correspondence
mask.setRoundness accepted any closed path whose vertices lie on its bounding
box, so an ellipse was replaced by a rectangle. It now accepts only a plain
rectangle (four corner vertices, straight sides) or a rounded one (eight
vertices, straight sides alternating with circular corners).
The rebuilt path keeps the old start vertex and direction, and its feather
points, so an animated path's other keys and the feather points still line
up. A change between square and rounded corners changes the vertex count; it
is refused when the path is keyed or has feather points instead of leaving
keys with different counts or dropping the points.

A slip on a layer with no source handles succeeded with `delta: 0` and nothing else, which
read like a no-op bug. The result now carries `requested` (seconds) and, per layer, `clamped`
when the source could not move that far.

Text strokes were always drawn with round joins. The document gets a
Line Join (`lineJoin: miter|round|bevel` in layer.setText / newText),
Miter for new text as in After Effects, Round for documents saved before
it so their look is kept. The 2D and Advanced 3D (extruded) text strokes
use it, expressions' style copies carry it, and the Character panel has
Miter / Round / Bevel buttons under the stroke width.

Opening the editor keeps the keyframe and mask-vertex selection as well as the property one,
and Duplicate cleared only the properties. With the copy selected, Clear then deleted a key or
vertex of the original instead of the copy. During an edit the copies now take the selection the
way a click on them does: layer.select's rule, moved into one helper both use. With no edit
open, Duplicate's selection is unchanged.
