Take a look at the alpha plugin, I think you will figure out what needs to be done. Looking forward to your PR :)

too complex all i got out of reading the code base was some where validation is missing i read the alpha.cpp and it has validation ,
i would like to hear your response am i even in the same ball park as the error i am new to this stuff like the linux compositor and stuff,

will take a bit more time but will do its kind of interesting.

also is use of ai to understand permitted ?

If you use AI to work on your PR, please let us know when submitting your PR. I do not care whether you write the code or generate it with AI, however you should always read the code yourself, make sure it makes sense, and also test it before sending a PR. Sending AI slop without reviewing/testing it first is not wanted. Hope this makes sense.
