release: center crop, grid calibration, and QA tooling

[MikeSzklarz]

Changelog

Features

• MicroSentry: now always enabled with a dedicated menu bar button; removed the dropdown toggle
• MicroSentry threshold controls: fine-tune buttons for segmentation values; slider now increments by float
• MicroSentry full scoring: full scoring and classification output display
• Decision button: draggable button across the viewport
• Session inspector toggle: added to metadata section
• Center crop: center crop on the viewport with caching, center dot option, and grid template for calibration via center template matching
• Grid calibration and measuring tool: floating icons at bottom-center of viewport; export/import grid spacing ratio; watermark shows current grid sizing
• MVTec folder output: export image samples in MVTec-style training folder structure
• Area measurements: area measurements with default pixel grid calculations (6 values, whole-number rounding)
• Annotation show/hide: show and hide per annotation and per class in the viewport
• Annotation class import/export: import and export annotation class definitions
• Dataset navigator column selection: dropdown to choose which columns are visible
• Project start screen (Add project start screen #45)
• Vertex size: dynamic vertex size based on zoom level, smaller when zoomed out

Fixes

• Inference cache: score maps saving updated to reduce buffer time
• Inference trigger: opening a new image folder now triggers inference if a model is loaded
• Qt thread abort: fixed thread aborting on window close (Anomalib) and Windows shutdown (center template)
• Center crop persistence: crop no longer persists across projects sharing the same image folder; default value fixed; reset button added
• Center dot: center dot setting now persists between image changes
• Project name: no longer sticks after switching projects
• Open recent: updates correctly after opening multiple projects in one session
• Classes persistence: classes from a previous project no longer persist when opening a project with no classes
• Class case: class names now correctly catch case-variant duplicates
• Polygon selection: clicking a polygon on the viewport now correctly highlights it
• Set inspector: fixed applying to all images instead of only current; fixed marking image as reviewed
• Annotations scroll: fixed current annotation changing on mouse scroll
• Annotations dropdown: fixed dropdown menu not displaying in table
• Area reset: fixed area not resetting after calibrating a new unit
• Grid calibration save: fixed saving current calibration for persistence
• Export CSV: fixed exporting and importing of grid values
• SAM tool text: removed stale text lingering in tool area on load
• Annotation class rows: fixed rows not dynamically resizing

Refactors / Housekeeping

• Validation: tab and feature completely removed
• Project IO: updated relative pathing, JSON structure, and added decision timestamp
• Calibration: removed data file actions, moved to grid settings; grid ratio no longer resets to single px
• Legacy options removed: legacy JSON import and legacy polygon export removed
• Exporting: opens project root instead of initial directory
• Binary masks: auto-creates storage folder for binary mask images
• Annotation classes UI: restyled to match dataset navigator with sortable columns
• Image annotations section: restyled to match dataset navigator
• Image viewport: images load centered; rounded corners and larger dots on floating bars
• Default annotation colors: updated default class color palette
• Environments: updated CPU/CUDA/Mac environment files
• CI: lint now only runs on merge to main

this looks like great work !
