feat(cutout): implement boundary padding for cutout textures

- Introduced a new `Boundary Padding` preference in the Cutout Tool with a default of 2 px and a configurable range of 1-4 px.
- Updated the Cutout client to establish inward mapping from the final Mask, sampling in a fixed direction and processing independent material RGBA and Depth.
- Enhanced the handling of RGBA and Depth during cutout operations, ensuring proper mapping and preservation of source data.
- Added tests to validate the new boundary padding functionality and its integration with existing cutout processes.

feat(geometry): remove overall mesh smoothing from geometry nodes

- Removed the `Smooth` input from several geometry node groups to eliminate unnecessary overall mesh smoothing.
- Retained `Smooth Weight` for depth nodes while removing it from Cutout and Relief Plane nodes.
- Ensured that boundary, normal, and fill smoothing behaviors remain intact and consistent.
- Updated tests and documentation to reflect the changes in node interfaces and behaviors.

feat(normals): scale tangent normals with depth

- Reused the existing `o_normal_reduction` attribute to adjust Tangent Normal strength based on the geometry's `Depth Scale`.
- Ensured that Tangent Normal strength is consistent with the geometry depth, preserving full strength for materials that do not provide the attribute.
- Updated tests to verify the correct behavior of normal strength adjustments in both Tangent and Object Space.

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Panorama input uses an exact centered 2:1 crop
+The system SHALL prepare panorama conversion from the largest centered integer-pixel rectangle whose width is exactly twice its height. The prepared color material and AI analysis input MUST use the same cropped pixels without stretching, padding, or aspect-ratio resampling.
+
+#### Scenario: Source is wider than 2:1
+- **WHEN** a user converts a usable static image whose width is greater than twice its height
+- **THEN** the system crops columns equally where possible from the left and right and prepares an exact 2:1 input at the source height
+
+#### Scenario: Source is narrower than 2:1
+- **WHEN** a user converts a usable static image whose width is less than twice its height
+- **THEN** the system crops rows equally where possible from the top and bottom and prepares the largest exact 2:1 input at or below the source width
+
+#### Scenario: Source width is odd
+- **WHEN** a usable static source has an odd width that cannot be part of an exact integer-pixel 2:1 rectangle
+- **THEN** the system omits the unmatched column as part of its deterministic centered crop
+
+#### Scenario: Source is already 2:1
+- **WHEN** a user converts a usable static image whose width is exactly twice its height
+- **THEN** the system prepares the full source image without removing pixels
+
+### Requirement: Panorama crop is disclosed to the user
+The system SHALL issue one warning whenever panorama input preparation removes source pixels, and the warning MUST identify both the original and cropped pixel dimensions.
+
+#### Scenario: Conversion requires cropping
+- **WHEN** the computed 2:1 bounds differ from the source bounds
+- **THEN** the system reports a warning containing the source width and height and the cropped width and height
+
+#### Scenario: Conversion does not require cropping
+- **WHEN** the source bounds already form an exact 2:1 image
+- **THEN** the system does not report a crop warning
+
+### Requirement: Unsupported panorama sources remain rejected
+The system MUST reject animated images and images too small to produce a positive integer-pixel 2:1 crop before submitting panorama generation.
+
+#### Scenario: Source is animated
+- **WHEN** a user attempts to convert an animated image
+- **THEN** the system reports an error and does not submit panorama generation
+
+#### Scenario: Source cannot produce a positive crop
+- **WHEN** a source image cannot provide at least a 2-pixel-wide by 1-pixel-high crop
+- **THEN** the system reports an error and does not submit panorama generation
