dtourolle 8cdad3863d Keep only where two selections agree, as a third way to join a mask part
A layer's parts could be added to the mask or taken out of it, and nothing
else. The selections that need composing most are the ones that are
neither: the sky that is also bright, the subject that is also skin. With
union and subtract alone, "this and that" had to be spelled as "this minus
everything that is not that", which needs a second part that selects the
complement and rarely exists.

Join gains Intersect, stored as "intersect" in the part block of a sidecar.
It is the product of the two coverages, dst * src, which is one more
fixed-function blend state beside union's max and subtract's
dst * (1 - src) (mask-editing.md 5.2): the same scratch texture, the same
three vertices, no shader arithmetic. The product equals the minimum
wherever either side is fully in or out, and is the softer reading where
two soft edges overlap. Join::apply spells the three operations on the CPU
so the GPU tests can be held to one definition.

A layer that intersects with a part covering nothing now reports that it
covers nothing, so it is not rasterised as an empty slice. Old sidecars
never contain the word, so they read as before; a build from before this
reads "intersect" as a union, the existing unknown-join fallback, which
keeps the part visible rather than dropping it. Join::ALL keeps union and
subtract at indices 0 and 1 so a stored panel index still means the same
join.

dtourolle 4574c35236 Let a part be left out of a mask without being taken out of it
A layer built from parts was missing the one control a correction most
often wants: seeing what it did. The question a subtracted gradient
raises is whether it took only the sky, and the question a stroke raises
is whether it filled the shoulder — and the only way to ask either was
to remove the part and look, which answered the question and lost the
part. The layer's own ring answers a different question, about the
adjustment, and hiding eight layers to check one correction is not an
A/B anybody performs.

So a part carries `hidden`. It is an edit and a history step, as the
layer's switch is, and it is folded into the render fingerprint because
hiding a part changes the mask as surely as removing it does. Where the
mask is built the shown parts are walked rather than the parts, which
is what makes a hidden base hand the fold to the first part that is
shown — and a revealed layer whose every part is hidden clears its slice
rather than leaving whatever the last rasterisation put there to be
read back. `covers` asks the same shown parts, so a layer whose only
adding part is hidden costs no slice at all.

In the sidecar the key is `hidden`, in the part's block or, for the
base, in the mask block — under a word that cannot be confused with the
layer's `enabled`, which has always meant the layer. Absent means shown,
so no file written before the switch existed reads any differently.

The row wears the same ring the layer does, one row down, because it is
the same question about a smaller thing.

dtourolle df741a8a49 Let one mask be built from more than one selection, and paint into it
A mask the model draws arrives approximately right — stopping inside a
shoulder, leaking into the hair — and FR-DEV-3's edge controls move the
*whole* boundary, so no value of feather or dilation fixes two errors that
go opposite ways. What fixes them is a second selection joined to the first,
and a layer that held exactly one source had nowhere to put one. The brush
the core has had all along was reachable from no control in the application.

A layer is now an ordered list of parts. Each names a source and how it
joins the mask before it — added to it, or taken out of it — and carries its
own edge treatment, because a model's soft coverage and a stroke painted
where it stopped short do not want the same feather. Invert and opacity stay
on the layer, where the composed shader already reads them.

The sidecar grows `[part]` blocks and nothing else. A layer of one part
writes exactly the bytes it always did; a mask block with no part blocks
after it reads back as one part; and a stroke, a join or a source this build
cannot read costs that part rather than the layer. So every sidecar in every
library still parses to the edit it always was.

On the device the parts fold into the layer's one slice, so eight layers
still cost eight channels: union is a `max` blend and subtraction is the
erase blend the brush already used. A part is drawn into a scratch texture
before it is joined, and that is not incidental — an erase stroke means a
hole in *that part*, not a hole in the mask, and drawn straight onto the
accumulator it would punch through the subject underneath. A layer of one
part skips all of it and takes the path it always took.

In the interface: a part list under the selected layer with a chip saying
which way each joins, Add and Subtract beside it, a Select/Paint/Erase strip
with the brush's size, hardness and flow, and a drag on the photograph that
paints. Pressing Paint on a mask that cannot hold a stroke joins a part that
can, rather than explaining that a subject is not a brush. A whole stroke is
one step in the history.

The edge controls now shape the part that is selected rather than the layer,
which is the one behaviour change to an existing control: with a correction
selected, the feather slider softens the correction and leaves the model's
mask alone.

dtourolle 68ebf5d78b Let a mask start from a tone or a colour, not only a shape
Every local adjustment began from a shape: painted, drawn with a handle, or
found by a model. So the only way to hold back a sky was to draw a line near
where it ended, and the only way to warm skin was to paint round it — both of
which put the edit's edge where the photographer put a gesture rather than
where the picture changes. A gradient across a treeline halos, and an
adjustment traced round a face stops on the outline of a hand.

MaskSource grows two variants that select by what a pixel *is*. Luminance
carries two bounds on the perceptual tone scale plus a softness; Colour carries
an arc of hue, a range of chroma, and one softness for every edge of both. Five
floats and three, so they diff, sync and merge per field under FR-NC-9 exactly
as a gradient's geometry does — the property a stored raster has none of, and
the reason the model's coverage had to sit beside its source rather than inside
it.

The pixels are the shader's business and nowhere else's. `mask.wgsl` takes the
demosaiced source as a sixth binding and two new modes read it: decode, balance,
pull a clipped photosite back to neutral, apply the camera matrix, then weigh
the band. Nothing crosses to the CPU but the numbers and the matrix, and each
mask texel averages its own footprint in the source, so a band lands on the tone
an area is rather than on whichever texel a proxy grid happened to land on.

The photograph it measures is the one the camera recorded, before this edit. A
band over the edited result would slide out from under the edit as the edit was
made — raising the highlights would change which pixels counted as highlights,
and the slider would chase its own mask.

Feather, falloff and morphology stay off a range layer, which is what
`shapeable` already meant. All three are functions of the signed distance from
a boundary, and a range has no boundary to be at a distance from; its edge is
the softness of its own band, in the band's units. Offering them would be four
controls that move and change nothing.

dtourolle 89c4ff1820 Store what the model found, so a reopened photograph keeps its masks
A subject or category layer was written to the sidecar as identity alone —
which run, which instance, which category — on the reasoning that the pixels
are reproducible by running the same model over the same image. They are, but
only by *running the model*, and nothing runs one except a photographer
pressing "find subjects". So on every path that did not already have a run in
memory the layer resolved to no coverage, `MaskPass::render` logged "has no
distance field; skipping", and the adjustment was silently absent:

  - reopening an edited photograph rendered it without its local adjustments,
    and then saved that state back on the way out;
  - a batch export from the grid could not have them at any point, because
    `render_from_library` opens a session, applies a version and renders, and
    there is no model anywhere on that path. Three hundred files written
    without the edits their photographer made, over a log warning.

Neither failure announced itself. The generated shader still emits the layer's
block and the empty placeholder multiplies it by zero, so the result is a
well-formed frame that is simply missing an edit — `mask_is_stale` already
named the state and called it "not stale, just unrenderable".

The coverage now travels in the file, as one `coverage = w h levels payload`
line at the end of the layer's block.

Two levels, and that is not a compromise. The model hands out a byte per pixel
but `Shaped::build` measures its distance field from `coverage >= 128` and
throws the shoulder away on the first line; everything soft about the rendered
edge comes afterwards from the layer's feather and falloff, which are read off
the distance. So one bit per pixel is not an approximation of what the model
said — it is exactly the part of it that reaches a pixel, and the stored mask
renders the identical frame. Storing all 256 levels would have stored 1.7 MB
of bilinear interpolation to reconstruct a predicate, and would not even have
compressed: a model mask is a bilinear upsample of a coarse grid, so almost no
two adjacent bytes are alike. Measured on a simulated sky and a simulated
figure at 1600x1067, against 1.71 MB raw: 4.0 kB and 6.5 kB at two levels,
46 kB and 76 kB at sixteen, 835 kB and 1.43 MB at all 256. The level count is
still written into the line, so a later build that finds a use for the
shoulder can write sixteen and this one will read them rather than misreading
a stream of lengths as pairs.

The coder is hand-rolled — run-length pairs in a base-64 varint — because
`dr-pipeline` links nothing, which is the property that lets the descriptor
and codegen logic be tested without a device. `flate2` would have been fewer
lines and a dependency in the one crate that has none.

Where it lives matters more than how it is coded. The raster sits on
`MaskLayer` beside the source, not inside `MaskSource::Subject`: the source is
*identity*, which is what makes it diff as a handful of numbers and merge per
field under FR-NC-9, and a raster in there would have given the merge a binary
blob to arbitrate. It takes no part in `MaskLayer`'s equality for the same
reason — a device that has run the model and one that has not hold the same
edit, and counting the difference would raise a conflict over a cache and let
`remote_wins` answer it by discarding the only copy of the pixels.

Encoding happens in `masks_for_storage`, on the save path, rather than in
`ensure_subject_fields` where every coverage already funnels through.
`ensure_subject_fields` runs on a drag — dilating a mask with a compound
morphology rebuilds the field every frame — and encoding a megapixel raster
per frame is the kind of work NFR-P5 exists to keep off a gesture. Saving
happens once, when the photograph stops being the open one, and already costs
a network round trip.

Version skew holds both ways. A file with no `coverage` line reads exactly as
it did before, which is a layer that needs the model run; an unreadable one
costs the pixels and not the layer, because the layer is the edit and the
raster is a cache of it. An old build reading a new file drops the key it does
not understand, which costs a model run and no work. And a payload that will
not compress is refused rather than truncated: a checkerboard would encode to
twice the raster it came from, so past 64 kB nothing is stored and the
behaviour falls back to what it was — half a mask would render as a mask that
is confidently wrong, which is the failure that tells nobody.

The evidence was being gathered and spent immediately at one strictness
nobody could see or change. This makes it a control.

`MaskLayer::refine` is shaping, like the feather, and it lives on the layer
for the layer's reason: two layers may sit on the same category and want
different amounts of it, and the model ran once for both.

## What the segmentation now stores

`CategorySummary` keeps the **coarse** mask and the `Refinement` beside it,
rather than a refined mask. That is what gives the control an off position
that is bit-for-bit the model's own weighting, and what stops a strictness
change from needing the model again.

`category_mask_at` borrows at zero and wherever no refinement could be
fitted, so a layer nobody has touched costs nothing over the old path.

The fit moved to the far side of the orientation permutation. The verdict is
a per-pixel field over the same grid as the mask it gates, so fitting it
upright would mean permuting a proxy-sized buffer afterwards to match — a
second rotation, and a second chance to get one wrong. One logit cell is the
same number of pixels either way: the letterbox scales by the longer edge and
a permutation does not change which edge that is.

The two frames became a `Frames` struct rather than six parameters. This
function reads the picture twice for opposite purposes — the model needs it
upright or it recognises far less, the refinement needs the sensor's grid —
and a transposed pair produces a plausible mask over slightly the wrong
pixels, which is the failure this module is most prone to.

## It rebuilds the field, and the signature says so

`refine` is mixed into `subject_signature`. Unlike a feather, which is read
off a field that is already correct, this changes which pixels are in the
mask at all — so it changes the coverage the field is measured from. Omitting
it is the bug where the slider moves and nothing happens until some unrelated
control invalidates the cache.

That puts it in the same cost class as a close or an open, which is why the
row takes `SliderRow::changed` — already once-per-gesture, since that row
takes `SliderTrack`'s `committed` internally — rather than a live stream.

The slider is offered only where there is something to move: a category
source, *and* a refinement the frame actually gave enough to fit. A control
that moves and does nothing is worse than an absent one.

## Two defaults that are deliberately different

A layer added from the panel starts at 4.0, because a category's edges are
twenty proxy pixels wide before anything is done to them and a photographer
adding a sky mask wants the sky rather than the sky plus every chimney in it.

A layer read from a sidecar with no `refine` key starts at **zero**. A file
written before this control existed has to render as it did then, and a
default of 4 on absence would quietly re-grade every stored category mask in
the catalogue. `a_categorys_refine_strictness_survives_and_defaults_off`
holds both halves, and `an_out_of_range_refine_is_clamped` holds the file to
the scale — past the top of it every colour fails and the mask deletes
itself, which reads as lost work rather than as a bad file.

`MAX_REFINE` is dr-pipeline's own constant mirroring
`dr_segment::STRICTNESS_MAX`, following `Falloff` and `Morphology`: this
crate holds the description of an edit and must not depend on the crate that
runs a model. dr-ui is where the two meet, and the only place that converts.

Verified: fmt clean, clippy --workspace -D warnings clean, 488 dr-pipeline
and 60 dr-segment tests.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 485297f0c6 Let a mask cover a whole category, not just one instance
`MaskSource` could say "instance 3 of that segmentation run" but had no way
to say "the sky". Adding `Category { signature, name }` beside `Subject` is
what lets a local adjustment attach to a semantic category at all.

Stored as identity like a subject, and for the same reason: the coverage is
megabytes and is reproducible by running the same model over the same image,
so the sidecar carries what finds it again and the session carries pixels.

## A name rather than an index

An index would be smaller and would match `Subject`. It would also be a bug.
The grouping lives in `models/scene/categories.txt`, which is editable by
design — adding one category to it renumbers every category after it, and
every stored layer would silently start grading something else. A name that
no longer exists is simply not found and the layer reads as stale, which is
the failure that announces itself.

Staleness is otherwise identical to a subject's: the coverage buffer is in
the session, never the sidecar, so a signature from another run points at
pixels that were never computed.

## Two tests, and the second one caught a real shape

Round-tripping the name matters more than usual here, because the whole
argument for storing a name instead of an index is worthless if the sidecar
is what drops it.

The multi-word case is the one worth having: `category = swimming pool` is
written on one line, and a reader splitting on whitespace would have
truncated it to a category no model has — a layer that silently masks
nothing. `category` is also its own key rather than a reuse of `class`,
because a file conflating them would round-trip a subject into a category.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 93efdf27a6 Keep the film stock when an edit is saved
`Version::update` is the write path an automatic save goes through. It copied
the parameters and the masks and said nothing about the film, so a photograph
developed on a stock was written back without it and opened the next time
without its emulsion. Nothing reported a failure — the line was simply not
there.

It is the third of the three routines that captured "the edit" and the only
one that got it wrong, which is the argument for not having three. All of them
now destructure one `EditState`, so `from_graph`, `update` and `apply` cannot
disagree about what an edit consists of, and the next part of one cannot be
lost by anybody writing a line too few.

Two tests, both of which fail without the fix: the field survives `update`,
and the stock survives the round trip through the file. `apply` returns the
`FilmRebake` it always implicitly owed, so `apply_version` now reads the debt
off the call rather than off `version.film` — and pays it in both directions,
since a version with no film has to clear the adjust pass too or it keeps
textures bound that nothing will sample.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c75849040c Format the tree the way the gate asks for it
`cargo fmt --check` is a required step and had drifted across 45 files. Most of
it arrived this week: several operations were written in parallel worktrees and
merged by hand, and a hand-merge resolves conflicts without ever running the
formatter over the result.

No behaviour changes — this is `cargo fmt --all` and nothing else, kept as its
own commit so the next reader can skip it wholesale rather than search it for
one that matters.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c75863c93f Give a gradient the angle it was asked for
A linear mask at 45° was not at 45°, and a radial with equal radii was an
ellipse. Both on every photograph that is not square, which is all of them.

The geometry is stored in normalised coordinates so that a mask survives a
crop, a zoom and an export at another size — that part was right. What was
wrong is that a *distance* was being measured in those coordinates too, and a
fraction of the width is not the same length as a fraction of the height. So
`dot(uv - centre, axis)` measured the ramp in a space one of whose axes is
squashed against the other by the aspect ratio, and the iso-lines came out
sheared: on a 3:2 frame a ramp asked for at 45° arrives at about 34°.

Nothing announces it. The stored numbers are exactly what was written, the
shader is doing exactly what it says, and the only place the fault exists is
between the photographer's intent and the picture. It has been invisible so far
because there is no way yet to place a gradient by eye — the handles that make
it visible are what turned it up.

So distances and angles move into the frame's own isotropic units: y spans
`0..1` and x spans `0..aspect`, which makes a circle round and 45° a real
diagonal. The centre stays a plain fraction of each axis, because it is a point
and a point has no such problem — and because that is the space a click arrives
in. `frame_delta` is the one conversion and must stay the only one; the mask
array's own dimensions carry the aspect, so it costs no uniform.

The sidecar format does not change. What changes is what the numbers mean, and
the only geometry in the wild is a default that has never been movable.

The two tests are at 96×64 rather than square, which is the whole point: on a
square target this bug cannot be reproduced, and every existing mask test was
square. Both fail without the conversion — the radial reaching 28px sideways
where it reaches 19px down, and the diagonal landing on the wrong side of the
line it is supposed to lie along.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c396a22dfd Paint a mask without ever rasterising one on the CPU
The last line of FR-DEV-3, and the mask ARCH §5.4 was written for. darktable
rasterises drawn masks on the CPU and users call the result unworkable; the
architecture's answer is that a stroke arrives as *parameters* and the device
draws it. This is that, from the model through the sidecar to the pixels — but
not the finger: the canvas is somebody else's change, and this leaves it a
seam rather than reaching into it.

**A stroke is a swept disc along a polyline**, plus erase, radius, hardness and
flow. `MaskSource::Brush` holds an ordered list of them, and the order is the
mask: an erase after an add takes it away and the same pair reversed does not.
Nothing about it is pixels, which is what makes a mask that costs a line of
text, diffs by the gesture, and survives a crop, a straighten and an export at
any size — the properties a stored raster has none of, and the same argument
the region ids were chosen for.

Two things keep the point count honest. While the finger is down, a position
closer to the last than an eighth of the radius is dropped: a touch screen
reports 120 a second, so a finger held still for five seconds is six hundred
points in the same place, and simplification would only remove them once the
gesture had ended — after every frame in between had drawn all of them. When
it ends, Douglas–Peucker at an eighth of the radius removes what a disc that
wide cannot express: a swept circle moved by r/8 moves its own edge by r/8,
which is inside the soft part of any brush. Coordinates snap to a
ten-thousandth of the frame on the way in *and* are written at that precision,
so a round trip is exact rather than nearly exact — a file that drifts in the
sixth decimal every save is a per-field merge conflict a day, over nothing.

**Cost is why the strokes are not drawn by the full-screen triangle the other
masks use.** A swept disc is the minimum distance to any of its segments, so a
stroke over the whole frame costs `pixels × segments` and both terms grow
together — the quadratic that is darktable's problem moved onto the GPU rather
than solved. Each stroke is instead drawn over its own bounding box, grown by
the radius, so the rasteriser never invokes the shader for a pixel the stroke
cannot reach: `area(box) × segments`, which for a dab or a swipe is a small
fraction of the frame. A gesture past 256 points continues as a second stroke
for the same reason, since a shorter stroke has a smaller box.

Add and erase are `dst + a(1 - dst)` and `dst(1 - a)`, which are exactly a
source-over and a one-minus-source blend — so they are blend state, not
arithmetic, and no pass ever reads the slice it is writing. That is what
permits one draw per stroke at all. Within a stroke the coverage is the
*minimum* distance over its segments rather than a sum: a path that crosses
itself must not build up where it did, or every circle and every scribble
would be blotchy wherever consecutive dabs overlap, which is everywhere.

Not a distance field, deliberately. `dr-segment`'s transform documents the two
conditions that make CPU work right there — once per mask edit, over input
already CPU-side — and a stroke fails both: it changes while the finger moves,
and its input is a handful of coordinates that never needed to be pixels. It
also needs no transform, because the distance to a swept disc is closed form.
A stroke is the one mask whose distance field is known without computing one.

An unpainted brush layer is inactive rather than empty, which is not an
optimisation: `invert` turns empty into everything, so a layer created with
invert already set would apply its adjustment to the whole photograph before a
single stroke was made. That is the loud, confident kind of wrong this codebase
refuses everywhere else a mask can go missing, and there is a rendered test for
it.

The tests read pixels back off a device rather than checking that the two
halves agree with each other. What they pin down is what is silent when wrong:
the y flip between mask space and clip space, which a centred stroke would not
notice; a bounding box not grown by the radius, which makes a tap draw nothing
at all; an aspect ratio ignored, which makes a dab an ellipse on any frame that
is not square; a stroke doubling back and building up; and an erase that lost
its place in the order and put back paint the user had taken off.

Not done here: the interaction. The canvas needs to begin, extend and end a
stroke on the active layer, and `DevelopSession::rasterise_masks` still returns
early without a segmentation — it takes the proxy size from one, and a brush
needs no model to have run over the photograph first.

dtourolle 924a837389 Group the panel by what operations say they are about
A strip of groups over the adjust panel — Light, Colour, Detail — derived
from the attributes the operations declare. `adjust.slint` names none of
them: the strings arrive resolved and the panel only draws them, so a new
operation joins the right group by saying what it is and this file does not
change (FR-DEV-3a).

A group nothing carries is not offered, so a tab never opens onto nothing.
Geometry is left out because its one operation prefers an on-canvas widget
and is skipped by the row builder — a Geometry tab would be empty while
`GeometryPanel` holds the real controls. The strip appears only when there
is more than one group to choose between; a single tab is a control with one
option.

The selected group is underlined rather than filled. The accent means
*modified* everywhere else in this interface, and spending it on "which tab"
would blunt the one signal the panel has.

**The trap, and it nearly bit again.** `op_index` on a row counts over every
capability, not over the ones a filter kept — it is how a row routes back to
the core. Renumbering it while filtering would make a slider drive a
different operation, which looks like a rendering fault rather than a
routing one. `rows_filtered` keeps `enumerate` over the full list and only
`group_head` is a position within the emitted rows; a test moves a value
through a filtered row and checks it lands where it was asked to.

Six tests, including that a nonsense index falls back to showing everything
rather than to showing nothing.

dtourolle 94cfea4748 Keep the mask when the app closes, and when two devices disagree
The sidecar is authoritative — the catalog is a disposable index and the
RAW is never written — so a mask that does not round-trip is not a
persistence bug, it is lost work.

Layers get their own `[mask <version> <id>]` blocks rather than being
flattened into dotted keys. A layer is not a scalar: it carries a
selection, a geometry and a chain of its own, and encoding a region set as
`m1.region.0 = 12` would be neither readable nor mergeable. The version
uuid is repeated in the header instead of relying on the block following
its version, because "belongs to whichever version appeared above me" is a
relationship that hand-editing, merging and older builds each break
quietly.

Region ids sort and deduplicate on read rather than being trusted from the
file. The mask's identity is the *set*, so two devices writing the same
selection in different orders must produce the same mask rather than
argue about a difference that is not one.

Masks merge by layer id under FR-NC-9, which is the disjoint-survives rule
the parameters already follow one level up: a layer added on the phone and
one added on the desktop both survive. A layer *both* sides edited resolves
wholesale to the higher revision, because half of one selection plus half
of another's opacity is a layer neither person made. A remote deletion is
honoured, or a mask the user removed returns on every sync.

An unknown mask source is skipped rather than guessed at. Applying a newer
format's mask type as the nearest one this build knows would put a
confidently wrong adjustment on the photograph, which is worse than
applying none.

29 new tests. The interesting ones are about silence: a maskless version
clearing the previous image's layers, a bare selection persisting even
though it renders nothing, and a mask naming a version that is not in the
file being dropped instead of landing on whichever block was open.
