Description

All we ever do is set either gamma 2.2 (color data) or 1.0 (non-color data).

Bonus points for some kind of auto-selection or help for the user.
For example, if a texture is plugged directly into e.g. a roughness socket, show that this should be a non-color texture.

Research direction

Search the repository for the imagemap gamma setting and the Blender UI that exposes it. Replace the gamma 2.2/1.0 choice with a color/non-color dropdown, and consider the requested socket-based guidance only if the existing UI provides a clear entry point; done means both texture modes remain selectable with the corresponding behavior.
