Part of #1252.

Project Raster (raster.project) and the Georeferencer's warp now make their output rows on several cores, for every method: nearest, bilinear and cubic sampling, and average and mode.

How

• Each output cell is made from the source alone, so rows go through parallel::for_each_row and are written where they lie. The output is held once, as on one thread.
• A small Rows iterator hands each thread a row's slice of every band; Canvas::set writes into that slice.
• Average and mode place each cell's corners on two edges, a row's top and its bottom. A thread that makes consecutive rows reuses the bottom edge it placed as the next top, as the one-thread loop did. One that skips rows places the top edge again, with the same expression, so the result is the same bit for bit.
• The work estimate per cell counts the pixels read per band (1, 4 or 16 for nearest, bilinear, cubic) and, for aggregation, the source pixels shared among cells. Each thread's scratch, the row's image positions, counts against SCRATCH_BUDGET.
• Below MIN_ROW_WORK, and in the browser, everything stays on one thread. A cancelled run stops after the rows being made.

Timings

4000 × 4000 RGB raster, lon/lat to UTM 23S, one thread → all cores (40-core box, at most 16 threads):

Method	Same cell	3× coarser cell
Nearest	3.28 s → 1.52 s	0.38 s → 0.21 s
Bilinear	4.75 s → 1.67 s	0.54 s → 0.21 s
Cubic	5.72 s → 1.82 s	0.64 s → 0.23 s
Average	4.37 s → 1.72 s	0.84 s → 0.26 s
Mode	7.56 s → 2.01 s	2.94 s → 0.50 s

At the same cell size most of what's left on all cores, about 1.4 s, is BandStats::compute in Raster::new. It runs on one thread for every raster a tool makes, so it's left for a separate change in rustgis-data.

Tests

project_on_several_threads_is_project_on_one projects a colour image with alpha (some pixels see-through) and a float raster with no-data, at a cell finer and one coarser than the source. It checks that every method gives the same bits on four threads as on one. At the finer cell, aggregating cells take the nearest pixel; at the coarser one they take many.

Walkthrough

Raster warping and projection now process output rows in parallel. The sampling and aggregation paths accept an optional thread count and use per-thread state. Tests compare one-thread and four-thread projection outputs.

Changes: Raster warp and projection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Row output and projection dispatch crates/analysis/src/warp.rs	Projection dispatch passes an optional thread count to sampling or aggregation. The Rows iterator provides mutable output row slices across bands.
Parallel sampling crates/analysis/src/warp.rs	Sampling processes rows in parallel with per-thread coordinate, node, and pixel buffers. Zero-width output returns after allocation.
Parallel aggregation crates/analysis/src/warp.rs	Aggregation processes rows in parallel with per-thread corner and aggregation state. Edge reuse occurs when consecutive rows are handled by the same thread. Tests compare one-thread and four-thread output across methods, raster types, and grid scales.

Merge Risk: Low · up to fc396

The change is mergeable with awareness of two remaining performance concerns: unnecessary threading for small covered areas and serialized row allocation. Their practical cost is unmeasured; neither establishes incorrect raster output.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: rows of raster.project and the Georeferencer's warp are now produced on several cores, as the perf(analysis) prefix signals. The raw summary confirms that warp and project route through parallel sampling and aggregation. The title is specific and matches the changeset. It is 100 characters long, which is longer than ideal but still readable.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the change in detail. The Summary section explains the change and the reasons for it, and the How section gives the design. The Testing section names the new test and what it checks, and it also gives benchmark timings. The UI evidence section is absent. The template asks for it, but the author left the 'No visible UI change.' line, which the template permits for PRs without visible UI changes. The Related issue section is missing its link; the description says 'Part of #1252' in the opening line, which covers the intent. Overall the description is mostly complete.

Code review

No bugs, security issues, or AGENTS.md violations found. Checked by reading only: I did not compile or run the new test, since I have no shell here.

Bugs: none found. Checked:

• Bit-for-bit claim holds for the aggregated edge reuse. The reused and recomputed top edges use the same expression as the old loop, so the output matches.
• The Rows zero-width and zero-band guards prevent both the chunks_mut(0) panic and an endless iterator.
• The per-column scratch estimate (28 bytes in sampled) matches row_positions (STEP = 8, one node per 8 columns).
• The new threading is not nested. The callers (crates/engine/src/cmd/imagery.rs:303 and :431) are top-level command handlers.
• The browser path stays single-threaded through threads_for_rows.
• Low confidence (about 60%), outside the diff: parallel::for_each_row ends with control::check() (crates/analysis/src/parallel.rs:122). A cancel that lands after the last row returns Cancelled on several threads but Ok on one. Project Raster now reaches this path because begin and check are wired in.

Security: none found. The diff adds no parsing, no unsafe code, and no new input handling.

Performance: none found. Per-row allocation in Rows::next is negligible next to per-row work.

Quality:

• High confidence, nit, inline: the Rows::of doc says "None" but the function returns an empty Rows.
• Test coverage, for the release quality pass: the new test compares one thread with four inside the new code. It does not check cancellation of project/warp, which this PR newly makes cancellable.

AGENTS.md: no unwrap, expect, panic, or unsafe in non-test code. No new dependencies. No user-visible strings changed.

Earlier review concerns left alone: 0 (there were no prior threads).

Move the per-row band slice allocation out of the row lock.

598-598: Minor · Performance & Scalability · Poor tradeoff

Move the per-row band slice allocation out of the row lock.

On narrow grids, Rows::next allocates a new Vec for every output row. The multi-thread path of for_each_row calls Rows::next while it holds the row mutex, so each allocation extends the lock hold. Allocation cost is not measured, so the magnitude is unsettled.

Update Rows::next to avoid allocating a new Vec for each output row while the
row mutex is held in the multi-threaded for_each_row path. Move the per-row band
slice allocation outside the locked section, preserving the current row
iteration and output behavior.

Size the aggregation thread count from the source area the grid covers.

740-742: Minor · Performance & Scalability · Low value

Size the aggregation thread count from the source area the grid covers.

aggregated adds the full source size (w*h) to its work estimate, whatever the output grid covers. For a grid wholly outside the source, Aggregate::row skips every cell at its bounds test and scans no pixels. The estimate can still select up to oh threads, and their start-up cost can exceed the row work. Counting only the source area the grid can reach would avoid this. A correct estimate needs the source-space corners, so no localized edit is proposed.

Review comment at @crates/analysis/src/warp.rs around lines 740 - 742:
Update the aggregation work estimate used by threads_for_rows so it counts only
the source area reachable by the output grid, rather than always adding the full
w*h. Use the grid’s source-space corners to determine and clip the reachable
area to source bounds, yielding zero when the grid is wholly outside; preserve
the existing remaining work and scratch-size calculations.

Add a check that projecton runs rows on several threads.

1394-1396: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Poor tradeoff

Add a check that project_on runs rows on several threads.

The bitwise test compares only output bits for Some(1) and Some(4). If sampled or aggregated ignored the threads argument, the test would still pass. The test name says "several threads", but nothing checks that.

Review comment at @crates/analysis/src/warp.rs around lines 1394 - 1396:
The `project_on` test compares results but does not verify that work runs on
multiple threads. Update the test around `project_on` so it observes the
execution thread IDs and asserts that `Some(4)` uses several threads, while
preserving the existing bitwise comparison with `Some(1)`.

Code review

I found no bugs, security problems, or AGENTS.md violations in the changed code. I checked it by reading the diff and the code around it (parallel.rs, control.rs, warp.rs, and the raster.project call site in imagery.rs). I could not compile or run the tests in this environment, so the build and test results are left to CI.

Checked and held up:

• Bit-identical output. The per-row edge expressions (g.max_y - oy * cell_y for the top, (oy + 1) for the bottom) match the old loop's terms, and row_positions clears nodes on entry. Each cell depends only on its own corners and the source.
• Edge reuse. Corners is created per for_each_row call, and the swap only happens when the same thread made row oy - 1. Rows a thread skips get their top edge recomputed.
• Scratch estimate. STEP is 8, so the exact nodes cost about 4 bytes per cell. The 28 and 56 byte-per-cell figures cover the Option<(f64, f64)> edges and nodes.
• Panics and wasm. Rows::of avoids chunks_mut(0), and both functions return early when ow == 0. threads_for_rows returns 1 on wasm.
• Progress and cancel. The engine callers open no outer progress step, so the new control::begin(oh) resets nothing. Cancel and panic propagation go through for_each_row as before.

Prior reviews: one earlier thread, on the Rows::of doc wording, is resolved and outdated. The fix is already in fc396cb, so I left it alone. I raised no concern that an existing thread already covers.

No inline comments. Nothing here is worth a thread, and the nits below are for the release quality pass.

Bugs: None found. Confidence: high.

Security: None. The change adds no parsing of untrusted input and no new external surface. Confidence: high.

Performance: None significant. Rows::next allocates one Vec per row. That cost is negligible next to the work in a row. Confidence: high.

Quality (nits, for the release quality pass):

• Both sampled and aggregated return early when ow == 0. The w == 0 branch in Rows::of is then unreachable from these callers. Keep the guard, since it prevents chunks_mut(0), and drop one of the duplicate early returns. Confidence: high.
• project_on(Some(1)) is the new serial path, so the test shows threads match one thread without pinning either to the pre-PR loop. Existing value tests cover that. Confidence: medium.
• A few lines sit near max_width = 140 in rustfmt.toml, such as the threads_for_rows line in aggregated and the zip chain in Aggregate::row. cargo fmt --check should settle it. I could not run it. Confidence: low.

AGENTS.md: No violations. The change adds no unwrap, expect, panic, or indexing in non-test code, no unsafe, no user-visible strings, no silent data loss, and no dependencies. Progress reporting follows the pattern the other row loops in rasterops.rs use. Confidence: high.
