Set ASC CDL values on an existing color node.

Register or replace a named DRX template in the local grade catalog.

Search registered DRX templates by text and optional exact category.

Start selected render job IDs, or all queued jobs when omitted.

Return one job's completion/status or the overall queue state.

List Gallery still albums or PowerGrade albums.

List still labels and stable-in-call indices in a Gallery album.

Grab a still from the current Color-page clip into the current album.
