Custom-route tools (split, compare, collage, find-duplicates, etc.) only
handled HEIC via ensureSharpCompat, failing on BMP, PSD, RAW, TGA, EXR,
HDR, JXL, and other formats Sharp cannot decode natively. Added the full
decode pipeline from createToolRoute to all 16 affected routes: format
validation via validateImageBuffer, HEIC decoding with actionable error
messages, CLI-based exotic format decoding with nested fallback, and SVG
sanitization to prevent XXE/SSRF/script injection.
Sharp can read TIFF-based RAW files (DNG, CR2, NEF) directly for
metadata without requiring ImageMagick/darktable to fully decode them.
Try Sharp on the raw buffer first; only fall back to the decode pipeline
for formats Sharp cannot open (PSD, ICO, TGA). For RAW files, enrich
with ExifTool to get real sensor dimensions instead of thumbnail size.
Error from a failed image (e.g. DNG) persisted when navigating to a
previously cached image because the cache path skipped setError(null).
Also pass the original file extension to decodeToSharpCompat so RAW
variants get the correct temp file suffix for ExifTool/ImageMagick.
The info tool reads metadata directly via Sharp without going through
the format decoder pipeline. Added CLI format detection and decoding
before metadata read, matching the pattern used by all other tools.
