Project & messages
Config is the material. The project also keeps slot paths. Ctrl+S writes .cdmdayz.
Config (JSON): preset, shader, ENV, colors, muls, power, stages, UV, Fresnel, advanced. Old files stay compatible — missing keys are skipped.
Project (`.cdmdayz`, Ctrl+S / Ctrl+O): config plus the eight slot paths, spec/gloss factors, sizes, PAA, last name. Missing files are skipped; a toast counts restored slots.
Load RVMAT: colors, power, muls, Fresnel, stages, shader. Ctrl+N clears the session. A shader change keeps sources and colors — hit Reset for a clean compare.
