Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the scopes are calculated from the preview pipe - even when high quality processing is toggled. Especially when using diffuse or sharpen it is helpful to use hq processing to properly judge its effect on shadows and overall contrast.

Describe the solution you'd like
When HQ Processing is activated in darkroom also calculate the scopes from the generated high-quality preview.

Research direction

Start by tracing how darkroom calculates scopes from the preview pipe and how the generated high-quality preview is exposed when HQ Processing is active. Verify that diffuse and sharpen effects are reflected in the scopes under HQ processing, while existing behavior remains unchanged when it is inactive.
