What do libplacebo and FFmpeg's libplacebo filter actually consume from HDR10+ and Dolby Vision metadata when tone mapping, and what do they ignore or discard?

Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S11, S10 rest on the producer's pinned reading. Per the libplacebo source at 13d0b798 (code reading only), HDR10+ scene statistics (MaxSCL, average maxRGB, the 99.99% distribution value) and, when present, the Bezier OOTF are mapped into its HDR metadata and feed peak/average-based tone mapping and the ST 2094-40 curve. For Dolby Vision it applies RPU reshaping and reads only Level 1 (max_pq, avg_pq) from the extension blocks; in the seven files scanned there is no use of L2/L8 trim values. Colourist trims are therefore not reproduced by this path, and the FFmpeg filter strips the COLOR_DEPENDENT side data when output transfer or primaries change. Curator qualifications: Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S11, S10 rest on the producer's pinned reading. Curator GET 2026-10-23 of the sources not re-read (mechanical source evidence, not semantic verification): S11: HTTP 200, bytes differ from the producer pin; S10: HTTP 200, bytes differ from the producer pin. Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
