Light bending uses the Schwarzschild optical metric in isotropic coordinates. Spin changes the prograde ISCO and therefore the inner disk edge; full Kerr frame dragging is intentionally not faked as exact.

Lensing and gravitational redshift are physically grounded; disk emission is a real-time thin-disk approximation rather than full GRMHD/radiative transfer.
