Composite sources stack multiple existing color strip sources as layers
with configurable blend modes (Normal, Add, Multiply, Screen) and per-layer
opacity. Includes full CRUD, hot-reload, delete protection for referenced
layers, and pre-allocated integer blend math at 30 FPS.
Also eliminates per-frame numpy allocations in color_strip_stream,
effect_stream, and wled_target_processor (buffer pre-allocation).

LED skip: set first N and last M LEDs to black on a target. Color sources
(static, gradient, effect, color cycle) render across only the active
(non-skipped) LEDs. Processor pads with blacks before sending to device.
Rename standby_interval → keepalive_interval across all Python, API
schemas, and JS. from_dict falls back to old key for existing configs.
Remove legacy migration functions (_migrate_devices_to_targets,
_migrate_targets_to_color_strips) and legacy fields from target model.

Show a gradient color bar below the effect type description, giving
users a visual preview of palette colors before applying. Updates
live when switching effect type, palette, or meteor head color.

Filter Template meta-filter: reference existing PP templates inside others
for composable, DRY filter chains. Filters are recursively expanded at
pipeline build time with cycle detection. New `select` option type with
dynamic choices populated by the API.
Keepalive optimization: serial devices (Adalight, AmbiLED) don't need
keepalive — they hold last frame indefinitely. Check `standby_required`
capability at processor start, skip keepalive sends for serial targets,
and hide keepalive metrics in the UI. Rename "Standby Interval" to
"Keep Alive Interval" throughout the frontend.

New features:
- Procedural effect source type with fire, meteor, plasma, noise, and aurora algorithms
using palette LUT system and 1D value noise generator
- 12 predefined gradient presets (rainbow, sunset, ocean, forest, fire, lava, aurora,
ice, warm, cool, neon, pastel) selectable from a dropdown in the gradient editor
- Auto-crop filter: min aspect ratio parameter to prevent false-positive cropping
in dark scenes on ultrawide displays
Optimization:
- Static/gradient sources without animation: stream thread sleeps 0.25s instead of
frame_time; processor repolls at frame_time instead of 5ms (~40x fewer iterations)
- Inverted isinstance checks in routes to test for PictureColorStripSource only

- Add dynamic "Hardware max ≈ N fps" recommendation below FPS slider,
computed from LED count (WLED: protocol timing) or baud rate (serial).
Reuses shared _computeMaxFps from devices.js with named constants.
- Fix gradient looking different across targets sharing the same stream:
configure() now uses max LED count across all consumers; _fit_to_device
uses np.interp linear interpolation instead of truncate/tile.

- Replace animation Enable checkbox with None option in effect selector;
show effect description tooltip; disable speed slider when None selected
- Allow target FPS range 1-90 (was 10-90) across UI and backend validation
- Scope serial COM connections to target lifetime (no idle caching);
use temporary connections for power-off/test mode
- Fix serial black frame on stop: flush after write, delay after task
cancel to prevent race with in-flight thread pool write

FPS is a consumption property (how fast to send to a device), not a
production property. Two targets sharing the same source may need
different FPS. This moves the fps field from PictureColorStripSource
to WledPictureTarget across the full stack.
The capture stream now auto-adjusts its rate to max(all connected
target FPS values) via ColorStripStreamManager tracking per-consumer
FPS. UI updates: FPS slider in target editor, FPS badge on target
cards, LED count repositioned in CSS editor, consistent speed icons.

- color_cycle is now a top-level source type (alongside picture/static/gradient)
with a configurable color list and cycle_speed; defaults to full rainbow spectrum
- ColorCycleColorStripSource + ColorCycleColorStripStream: smooth 30 fps interpolation
between user-defined colors, one full cycle every 20s at speed=1.0
- Removed color_cycle animation sub-type from StaticColorStripStream
- Color cycle editor: compact horizontal swatch layout, proper module-scope fix
(colorCycleAdd/Remove now exposed on window, DOM-synced before mutations)
- Animation enabled + Frame interpolation checkboxes use toggle-switch style
- Removed Potential FPS metric from targets and KC targets metric grids

Introduces a new 'static' source type that fills all device LEDs with a
single constant RGB color — no screen capture or processing required.
- StaticColorStripSource storage model (color + led_count=0 auto-size)
- StaticColorStripStream: no background thread, configure() sizes to device
LED count at processor start; hot-updates preserve runtime size
- ColorStripStreamManager dispatches static sources (no LiveStream needed)
- WledTargetProcessor calls stream.configure(device_led_count) on start
- API schemas/routes: source_type Literal["picture","static"]; color field;
overlay/calibration-test endpoints return 400 for static
- Frontend: type selector modal, color picker, type-aware card rendering
(🎨 icon + color swatch), LED count field hidden for static type
- Locale keys: color_strip.type, color_strip.static_color (en + ru)

- Add explicit led_count to PictureColorStripSource (0 = auto from calibration)
- Stream pads with black or truncates to match led_count exactly
- Calibration dialog: show led_count input above visual editor in CSS mode
- Calibration dialog: pre-populate led_count with effective count (cal sum) when stored value is 0
- Calibration dialog: sync preview label live as led_count input changes
- CSS editor: group brightness/saturation/gamma into collapsible "Color Corrections" section

Extracts color processing and calibration out of WledPictureTarget into a
new PictureColorStripSource entity, enabling multiple LED targets to share
one capture/processing pipeline.
New entities & processing:
- storage/color_strip_source.py: ColorStripSource + PictureColorStripSource models
- storage/color_strip_store.py: JSON-backed CRUD store (prefix css_)
- core/processing/color_strip_stream.py: ColorStripStream ABC + PictureColorStripStream (runs border-extract → map → smooth → brightness/sat/gamma in background thread)
- core/processing/color_strip_stream_manager.py: ref-counted shared stream manager
Modified storage/processing:
- WledPictureTarget simplified to device_id + color_strip_source_id + standby_interval + state_check_interval
- Device model: calibration field removed
- WledTargetProcessor: acquires ColorStripStream from manager instead of running its own pipeline
- ProcessorManager: wires ColorStripStreamManager into TargetContext
API layer:
- New routes: GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /api/v1/color-strip-sources, PUT calibration/test
- Removed calibration endpoints from /devices
- Updated /picture-targets CRUD for new target structure
Frontend:
- New color-strips.js module with CSS editor modal and card rendering
- Calibration modal extended with CSS mode (css-id hidden field + device picker)
- targets.js: Color Strip Sources section added to LED tab; target editor/card updated
- app.js: imports and window globals for CSS + showCSSCalibration
- en.json / ru.json: color_strip.* and targets.section.color_strips keys added
Data migration runs at startup: existing WledPictureTargets are converted to
reference a new PictureColorStripSource created from their old settings.
