on linux setups where the gpu adapter can't run the camera blur shaders (opengl without the needed texture support), setting up blur hit a wgpu validation error, which wgpu turns into a panic. that killed the camera preview worker instead of using the existing fallback that shows raw frames when blur setup fails.

now blur setup runs inside a validation error scope and returns the error, so the preview logs it, marks blur unavailable and keeps going. the opt in test runs setup on an unsupported adapter and expects an error rather than a panic.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; no actionable issues were found.

Summary

The change catches GPU validation errors during camera blur setup and returns them to the existing preview fallback.

• Camera preview keeps running when blur setup hits a GPU validation error.
