Crop, Local and Repair were chips at the head of the develop column, sharing a
row with the adjustment groups and told apart from them by the shape of their
highlight. Three things followed from that, and only the last is cosmetic: the
column closes, so the way out of a mode went away with the way in — hence the
duplicate "Done Cropping" over the canvas; the chips are generated from the
operation set, so the widest thing in the sidebar was a row nobody had chosen
the contents of; and a mode and a filter are different kinds of state wearing
one control.

They are a fixed 60px rail down the left now, generated from a single table in
toolrail.slint. A tool is one row of it plus a drawing plus a ViewMode variant;
nothing in app.slint is touched to add one. What is left of the strip is the
group filters, so it is GroupStrip.

The column stops measuring itself. Every panel published a content-width and
declared it as min-width, and the column took the largest — which spent the
photograph's pixels on whatever happened to be widest, and moved the image
sideways when switching tools swapped one set of panels for another. It is
panel-width now, one number in style.yaml.

That number is 360 and it is measured, not picked: the contents report a
minimum of 344 in every mode, and they do not compress below it because a Text
that does not elide reports the same minimum as preferred. 320 was tried and
sliced Paste down the middle. The Flickable's viewport is floored at the
layout's minimum rather than its preferred width for the same reason — content
that is never told how much room it has cannot adapt to having less.

Removing the eight content-width declarations repairs three comments an
earlier edit had spliced sentences into. The raw histogram's note on keeping
its hint short is rewritten rather than dropped: an over-long hint no longer
widens the column, it pushes the column's minimum past the width it has and
clips the panel, which makes that constraint sharper rather than obsolete.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 4fa914cbb1 Send each canvas overlay home to its own domain
The crop rectangle, the gradient handles and the repair discs were 480
lines inside `canvas-area` in app.slint, while the panels that drive them
already lived in adjust.slint, masks.slint and spots.slint. spots.slint
even opens by describing "what is drawn over the photograph, and what a
finger can take hold of" -- which was not in it.

They stayed behind because all three are positioned against `shown-*`,
the fitted image rect the develop view derives because Slint does not
report it. That is now the interface rather than the obstacle: each
overlay is *given* that rect as its own bounds, so every position inside
is a plain fraction of `root.width`, and none of them reaches out to
`canvas-area` for an origin any more.

GradientHandles joins MaskPanel in masks.slint and SpotHandles joins
SpotPanel in spots.slint, each file now holding one domain's panel and
its canvas overlay together, matching masks_ui.rs and spots_ui.rs.
CropOverlay gets crop.slint of its own rather than growing adjust.slint.

Arithmetic is unchanged: the old fraction-x subtracted shown-x from a
coordinate measured relative to canvas-area, and the new one measures
from an origin that already is shown-x. The handles stay unconditional
rather than gaining an emptiness guard, so the repeater identity that
spots_ui::sync_handles warns about is untouched.

app.slint: 2834 -> 2490 lines. Verified by running the desktop app on a
photograph, with the crop overlay's guard temporarily forced open so all
three instantiate -- no binding loop, no panic.

The column was 280px, a number chosen for a tablet, with 380px bolted on
later for a desktop. Both were guesses at how much room the widest row
inside needs, and a guess is what cannot work here: the mode strip is one
chip per attribute the *operation set declares*, so the row is generated
and no constant in app.slint can track it.

When the guess came up short the failure was not a tidy clip. The
Flickable inside the column never had its `viewport-width` set, so the
viewport took its content's preferred width, and a viewport wider than
its Flickable is *centred* in it — the same rule the note on the seam's
`x: 0` already records a few lines below. So the column lost half of each
edge rather than one of them: "HISTOGRAM" read "ISTOGRAM", "Straighten"
read "aighten", Copy sat centred while Paste ran off the far side. It
looked like a rendering fault and it was an alignment one.

So the column asks instead of guessing. Every panel that can appear in it
— image, histogram, geometry, settings transfer, masks, repairs, adjust,
history — now publishes a `content-width`: how wide it has to be before
it starts clipping itself, read off its own layout rather than asserted.
Each declares that as its `min-width` too, and that is what makes the
aggregation automatic: `column` is a layout, so it already reports the
largest minimum among its children, and it does so for the panels that
come and go with the mode as well, which live inside `if`s and cannot be
named from outside. Grep `content-width` in ui/dr-ui/ui to see every
panel with a say in the answer. The mode strip is named explicitly only
because it is pinned outside that layout, so nothing else measures it.

There is no floor left. A floor is one more guess and the panels state
their own minimums now. The only thing still above the measurement is
`panel-max-width`, which is not a size but a policy — a column may not
take the window from the photograph it exists to serve — and it comes
from Rust beside `layout-class` because a width read from `root.width`
inside the layout that `root.width` depends on is a binding loop.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8ab9440190 Put the repair tool on the photograph
A third chip beside Crop and Local, and the mode strip's own comment
predicted the shape: a mode that arms a gesture on the canvas and scopes
the column. Click a mark to cover it, drag the disc to move the repair,
drag the source circle to say where the patch comes from, Delete to remove
it. The source starts two and a half radii towards the middle of the
frame, which is FR-DEV-8's automatic placement in its cheap form — dust
sits on skies and skies are smooth, so it is usually right and always one
drag from fixed.

Two things are drawn deliberately. The circles are the size the repairs
actually are, because whether a disc covers a speck is the whole judgement
being made and a fixed-size dot would say nothing about it; the reach
around them is padded to a touch target so a spot on a dust mark can still
be picked up on a phone. And only the selected repair shows its source: a
dusty sky carries a dozen, and two dozen circles with nothing saying which
belongs to which is less information rather than more.

The panel edits what is stored while the canvas draws what is mapped, and
the two are pushed separately for that reason — a slider deriving its
value from the drawn radius would move differently at different zoom
levels. It is also the one panel built from SliderRow rather than a live
track: a repair has no OpId to coalesce a drag under, so a row that fires
once per gesture is what keeps undo one step per decision.

Verified as far as this environment allows: the strip renders and the
column re-scopes, photographed under XWayland. Synthetic clicks do not
reach this application, so the gestures are as-written rather than
as-felt, and docs/spot-removal.md says so.
