The ultra-wide preview is a bare Camera2 surface: it never goes through
Skia, so the software EV gain that carries exposure on the 1x preview had
nothing to act on and quick EV / the LIGHT-EV slider did nothing at 0.5x.
The lens itself now takes the bias, as CONTROL_AE_EXPOSURE_COMPENSATION on
every preview request (session builder, metering rebuilds, and a setEv call
the viewfinder pushes whenever the value changes).
The still is left alone: capture() pins the compensation back to 0 and
waits on an AE precapture trigger, so the file stays unbiased and the export
applies its software gain exactly once, as it does for the 1x path. The
hardware range clamps the bias where the lens offers less than the app's
+/-3 EV.
