A stateful, image-owning converter for the desktop tuning loop. The consumer
calls render / render_svg / render_with_progress with a fresh Config each
frame and never reasons about cachability: Session compares the Config's
SegmentKey (its clustering-relevant projection — color mode, color precision,
layer difference, speckle, binary threshold settings) to what it last
clustered and re-segments only when that changes. Everything else — fit mode,
curve params, compositing, palette, optimization — reuses the cached
Segmentation.
Config::segment_key is public too, so callers that hold their own state (e.g.
the wasm/JS side) can compare keys with the same source of truth.
Tests cover the key partition (finish-phase params share a key; clustering
params change it) and that Session output matches the one-shot pipeline for
both a reused-segmentation render and a re-segmented one.

Documents the systematic verification that the 1.0 pipeline reproduces 0.6.x
stacked output byte-for-byte: 475 parameter configurations (full per-parameter
sweeps + randomized interactions, pixel/polygon/spline, color/bw), geometry
compared against the 0.6.x cmdapp reference at path-precision 8. Zero geometry
mismatches (worst deviation 1e-8). Records the two bugs found and fixed during
verification (stacked hole-punching; relative-writer subpath origin), the
intentional differences (compact SVG encoding, empty-path omission), and the
reproduction procedure.
