Research direction

Start with the linked Canny report and reproduce the freeze when changing a graphic preset in the viewer. No source files, tests, or entry points are identified, so first locate the preset-change path and establish the expected response time. Done means changing presets no longer freezes the viewer for an unusually long period.
