 Phase 5's `RuntimeStateLayerModel` explicitly keeps temporal history, feedback state, accepted input frames, staged output frames, preview staging, and screenshot/readback staging in the render-local category.

It can clear overlays for a target layer/control key and prunes overlays that no longer resolve to the current layer and parameter definitions before applying them to a frame. This keeps shader reload, preset load, and layer removal behavior local to the live-state/composition boundary instead of scattering it through GL drawing code.
