Research direction
Start with the reproduction in mpv.conf and test0.vpy, then inspect the linked mpv-test.log and the gpu-next VapourSynth filter path. Confirm how Dolby Vision metadata is handled before and after enabling the filter; done means playback retains the expected colors with the filter active.
