Research direction

Start by reading the referenced darktable issue 11111 and reviewing how this lua-scripts repository currently handles image metadata. Identify the intended editor scope, supported EXIF fields, and database/XMP persistence path. Done means a defined editor can create and change the agreed metadata without modifying image files.
