dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 31e20399c8 Read the true white level, and clamp the sensor stage at both ends
Two corrections to the sensor stage, found while chasing magenta highlights.
Neither is the cause of that — see below — but both are wrong on their own
terms.

`white_level` took the *first* of rawler's per-channel saturation points. On a
Canon 6D that reports 15070 while the data reaches 16383, so every sample
above it was treated as brighter than white. It takes the maximum now.

The normalisation clamped its floor and not its ceiling, so those over-white
samples passed through as values above 1.0. Clamped at both ends.

**This does not fix the pink.** Measured on _MG_8596.CR2, exported and looked
at: the subject renders correctly and only the blown sky is magenta. A fully
clipped pixel is (1,1,1) in raw, the as-shot balance multiplies it to
(1.93, 1.00, 1.68), and the camera matrix turns that into R 2.88, G 0.51,
B 2.03 — red and blue clip at one, green does not, and the result is magenta.
It is correct white balance applied to already-saturated data, which is the
classic highlight-clipping cast and needs highlight desaturation to fix: a
pixel at saturation carries no colour information and must be rendered
neutral, not balanced.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0b20436445 Prove the plateau pass does nothing, and stop paying for it
Picks up the lower-completion work a crashed session left mid-debug, with one
failing test and no diagnosis.

The diagnosis is that the pass is a no-op. Not "does not reduce basin count" —
it changes *no pixel's basin at all*, zero of 9216, comparing one plateau
iteration against sixty-four. That assertion is the substance of this commit:
the original test asserted a consequence (fewer basins) which a working pass
need not produce, so it could have been satisfied by weakening it. A no-op
check cannot pass vacuously, and it is what turned an opinion into a fact.

Three candidate causes were tried and none was it. Exact float equality is
genuinely wrong and is fixed regardless — a gradient computed from 8-bit
samples is never exactly equal across a region the eye calls flat, so `==`
never fires and `<` fires everywhere; `LEVEL_EPS` now sits behind all three
comparisons. The test image is not it either: a flat disc, a terraced disc and
a constant-slope ramp all behave the same.

The finding worth keeping is about the domain rather than the code. On a
gradient-magnitude watershed every flat region of the picture is at gradient
zero, the global minimum, and a plateau with no descending exit is a minimum —
one basin already, nothing to resolve. The plateaux lower-completion is defined
for are regions of constant non-zero gradient, which are rarer in a photograph
than F1's phrasing implies. That may be the whole answer, or it may be hiding
a fourth cause; I could not close it.

So `plateau_iterations` defaults to 0. The implementation stays, correct as
far as it goes and costing nothing until someone finishes it; the test stays,
ignored with its reason; docs/segmentation.md §12 records what was ruled out so
the next attempt starts further along than this one did.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0233df4bf2 See what the highlights are doing: a live histogram (FR-DSP-7)
Exposure, blacks and whites were set by eye. Nothing said a highlight had
blown — the canvas shows white where a channel is at 250 and white where it is
at 255, and the difference is the whole question.

**Counted on the GPU, not on the readback.** There is a full frame sitting in
CPU memory on every canvas update right now — `AdjustPass::read_output`, the
bridge spike S1 removes — and walking it would have been thirty lines and no
shader. FR-DSP-7 states the mechanism and not just the feature: "these derive
from a GPU-side reduction into a small buffer. Per-frame CPU readback of image
data is prohibited." A histogram founded on the bridge would be correct today
and deleted by S1, and would meanwhile be the reason the bridge could not go.
What crosses the bus here is 4104 bytes whatever the image size.

The reduction tallies into workgroup memory first and merges once per
workgroup. A photograph is not noise: a clear sky puts tens of thousands of
adjacent pixels in one bin, and contending for that single global atomic
serialises the dispatch.

**On the settled frame only.** `render_now` already knows whether a gesture is
still moving — `draft` is the flag `redraw` derives from `was_coalesced` — so
the dispatch and its transfer happen once when the slider stops rather than on
each of the forty frames a drag emits. Nothing is lost: a histogram flickering
past under a finger is not a reading anyone takes. FR-DSP-7 requires exactly
this, that it not extend the FR-DSP-3 frame budget.

Luma is weighted in 8.8 fixed point — 54, 183, 19, summing to 256 exactly —
rather than in floats. Not thrift: it makes the shader's arithmetic
reproducible bit for bit, which is what lets the test below be an `assert_eq`
against a CPU count rather than a tolerance. ARCH §6.13's line about integer
state, applied where it happens to also be free.

**What the numbers were checked against.** A flat frame must put all 4096
pixels in one bin and one only. A 256-wide ramp must occupy every level with
exactly the same count, which is what catches an off-by-one in the
quantisation — a `floor` where a rounding was needed shifts the whole
photograph one bin left and looks like nothing at all. And a 101x37 frame of
seeded pseudo-random pixels — deliberately not a multiple of the 16x16
workgroup, so the edge tiles run off the image — is compared slot for slot
against a second, obvious CPU implementation. Exact equality, no tolerance.
The CPU version is a deliberate reimplementation rather than shared code: the
bugs worth catching here are ones shared code would commit identically on both
sides.

Above that, the presentation arithmetic is unit-tested headless, because it is
where a wrong answer is invisible. A histogram of the wrong shape looks exactly
as plausible as one of the right shape. So: 64 columns because it divides 256
and an uneven fold draws an even ramp as a comb; the peak excludes the end
columns, or a night scene scaled against its own black spike is a flat line
with no information in it; heights are clamped into the plot; and "0%" is kept
distinct from "<0.1%" and from "—", since an indicator reading "clipped" over
a figure reading "none" is a panel contradicting itself.

Clipping counts a *pixel* with any channel at an extreme, not a channel. Any,
because a blown red has no gradation left in it however much green and blue
still hold — and it is the saturated highlight, the sunset and the red jersey,
that clips first and recovers worst. Per pixel, because counting channels can
report 200% of a frame clipped, and a percentage above 100 is a readout nobody
trusts again.

Two affordances for it, which NFR-A11Y-3 asks for: a bar standing at the end
of the plot the tones are piling against, and a figure saying how much. Either
alone reads.

The panel sits directly under the capture metadata and above every control,
because it is what the controls are judged against. It is hand-built rather
than generated, and ARCH §4.3a is untroubled: a histogram is not an operation
— no parameters, changes nothing, answers a question rather than asking one —
and nothing in it reads a parameter out of a descriptor.

Three plot colours and a neutral luma trace join the palette. That is the
swatch's exception rather than a second one: a per-channel histogram has to
say which channel, and no achromatic treatment distinguishes red from blue, so
the hue is data exactly as the image beside it is. Held well back from full
strength for the reason the theme preamble gives.

The bounded, non-parking map wait moves out of `AdjustPass` into
`readback::await_mapping`, shared with the histogram's transfer. Thirty lines
of load-bearing reasoning about frozen interfaces and lost devices, and two
copies of it would have drifted.

The histogram describes the frame on the canvas, so it is in the output colour
space FR-DSP-7 asks for, and when zoomed it describes the visible region — a
photographer inspecting a highlight at 4x is asking about that highlight. A
device that cannot build the reduction loses the histogram and keeps the
photograph.

Still to do for FR-DSP-7: the pixel colour readout under the cursor.

324 tests pass, clippy and fmt clean.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 1c0994c807 Demosaic a Fujifilm sensor instead of refusing it
Every RAF stopped at the embedded preview, because the demosaicer had
one kernel and it was a Bayer kernel. D11 makes Fujifilm first-class and
FR-RAW-5 asks for it by name, so a hard error there was a promise we had
not kept.

X-Trans is a 6x6 tile, and nothing in the Bayer path survives that: the
missing channels sit at different offsets at all 36 positions, so there
is no fixed kernel to write. The new shader fits a weighted plane
through each channel's samples in a 5x5 window and carries the other two
channels across as the difference between those planes, keeping the
pixel's own measured value untouched. A plane rather than a mean because
the three channels are sampled at different places in the tile: a mean
compares a red taken slightly left of the pixel with a green taken
slightly right of it, and that offset is a colour cast that follows
every gradient in the frame. The fit is done in white-balanced space,
where the constant-colour-difference model it rests on is actually true
of a neutral subject; that alone halves the error at a luminance edge.

Two compromises, both deliberate.

It is not Markesteijn. There are no directional hypotheses and no
homogeneity map, so it does not resolve detail finer than the CFA period
and a hard edge arrives about two pixels wide. It cannot ring — the
output is bounded by the local sample range — so it does not produce the
worms FR-RAW-5 exists to avoid, but the quality that requirement asks
for is still owed.

The tile's phase is guessed rather than known. rawler has each body's
pattern exactly, as a 36-character string, but CfaPattern::XTrans throws
it away before dr-gpu sees the file, and it is not a constant to
hard-code: the bodies in that database start the tile at four different
origins. So the phase is read back out of the pixels, by grouping the 36
per-position means and taking the grouping with the least spread. That
part needs nothing from the scene. Telling red from blue does — shifting
the tile by half a tile turns it into itself with red and blue swapped,
so no geometry can decide it — and the as-shot white balance is what
breaks the tie. A frame that is almost entirely one colour can defeat
that; widening dr-decode to carry the pattern string would retire the
guess altogether.

The tests assert reconstruction, not success: a flat patch comes back
exactly at all six phases tested, and a linear ramp comes back exactly
too, which is the property the plane fit exists for and the one a mean
would fail.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 cb1d2be240 Choose the export folder by walking the server, not by typing it
The destination for a Nextcloud export was a text field. Nobody recalls the
exact spelling of a path three levels down, and getting it wrong does not
fail — `create_dir` makes whatever was typed, so a misremembered folder
becomes a new one at the root and the exports are somewhere nobody looks.

So it is picked the way the library root is picked, using the same
`FolderBrowser` model the launch screen drives: up, into, and "use this
folder", confirming the folder currently *shown* rather than one selected in
the list. Same rule in both places, so the phrase means one thing.

The model is shared; the worker is not. `settings_ui::spawn_folder_list` is a
near-twin of the launch screen's, because that one reaches into the
`LaunchController` for its session and reports onto the launch screen's error
line, while this one is handed credentials and writes to the settings page.
Factoring them together needs a function taking both controllers or a trait
implemented twice to abstract two call sites — more machinery than the twenty
lines it saves. What matters is shared already: navigation behaves identically
because both drive the same model.

The callbacks are wired in `lib.rs` rather than in `settings_ui::wire`,
because listing a remote folder needs credentials and the settings page holds
no session on purpose — it is reachable before a library is opened and must
not depend on one existing. With no account the picker says to sign in first,
rather than showing an empty list that reads as a server with no folders.

Details that are decisions rather than accidents: the picker opens at the
library root rather than at whatever half-typed path is in the field, which
would list nothing and look broken. The listing area is a fixed 180px, since a
folder with sixty children would otherwise push the rest of the settings page
off the bottom. "Up" is disabled at the root rather than hidden, so the row
does not jump as the user navigates. A failed listing leaves the picker open
on the folder it was showing — where the user had got to is not something to
discard over a dropped request. And the chosen folder saves immediately like
every other setting on a page that has no Save button.

The poll timer lives on the controller for the reason `LaunchController` keeps
its own there: a `slint::Timer` stops when dropped, so one local to the
function that starts it would be collected before the listing arrived.

Carries in-flight work from a parallel session — a segmentation pass in
dr-gpu, a sidecar cache, and the develop panel's continuing changes.

1020 tests pass, fmt clean. One clippy warning remains and is not mine:
`sidecar_cache::dir` is unused while that work is in progress.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 78e3e6b846 Add the develop pipeline: demosaic and seven raw adjustments
Decode through display, on the GPU: black/white normalisation, Bayer
demosaic, camera colour transform, and the first seven adjustment
operations — white balance, exposure, highlights/shadows, blacks/whites,
brilliance, vibrance, saturation.

Composable shaders. Each operation contributes a WGSL fragment rather
than owning a pass, and dr-pipeline fuses the *active* ones into a single
compute shader. One texture read and one write per frame regardless of
how many adjustments are in play, while the operations stay independent
in Rust — adding one is a new file, with no central shader to edit. An
operation at neutral settings contributes no code, no uniform and no
branch. Uniforms are prefixed per operation so two may both declare
`amount`; helpers dedupe by name from a single source of truth.

Pipelines cache on a structure hash covering the op-set and its order but
not the values, so dragging a slider uploads uniforms and reuses the
compiled pipeline. Measured on a 24 MP CR2: 0.60 ms re-render, one
pipeline compiled across ten slider positions.

The UI is generated, not written. EditGraph::capabilities() reports
parameters with their kinds, ranges, defaults and current values; the
panel builds one control per entry chosen by ParamKind. No file in ui/
names an operation, and dr-pipeline has no wgpu dependency, so codegen is
testable without a device (ARCH §6.5a).

Three defects found against real files, each silent:

- rawler 0.7.2's `xyz_to_cam` is all zeros — deprecated and no longer
  populated. The live matrices are in `color_matrix`, keyed by
  illuminant. Reading the old field yields no colour transform at all.
- `cam_to_xyz_normalized()` returns all NaN on any Bayer sensor: it
  divides each of four rows by its own sum, and the unused fourth
  (emerald) row sums to zero. Inverting the 3x3 ourselves avoids it.
  `wb_coeffs[3]` is NaN for the same reason and is normalised at decode.
- As-shot white balance reached the uniform block but no shader read it,
  so the first render of a real CR2 came out violently green. Green
  photosites collect roughly twice the signal of red and blue. Now
  applied unconditionally before any operation, with tests on ordering.

Demosaic is Malvar-He-Cutler rather than bilinear: gradient-corrected
interpolation at one 5x5 neighbourhood per pixel, where bilinear leaves
visible zippering on any high-contrast edge at 1:1. Two of the four
packed CFA constants were wrong on the first attempt, so all four layouts
are asserted to reconstruct the same colour. Crop origins at odd
coordinates re-phase the pattern; without that, red and blue swap.

X-Trans reports GpuError::UnsupportedCfa rather than approximating with
the Bayer path, which would look like a corrupt file.

206 tests, including GPU tests proving every operation and the full
seven-operation chain generate compilable WGSL.

Known gaps: the display path still reads back to the CPU each frame,
which ARCH §6.1 forbids and AC-8 asserts against — it is gated behind the
`readback` feature and waits on spike S1 wiring Slint's texture import.
Curve shapes are a first draft and want tuning against real photographs.

dtourolle 82a5e21ec6 Initial workspace: GPU context, compute pass, adaptive Slint shell
Establishes the v0.1 foundations on both platforms:

- dr-types: SourceRef (never a filesystem path — Android SAF has none),
  Format, Availability, Validator with ETag quote normalisation
- dr-gpu: wgpu device, compute pass writing a storage texture, resize
- dr-ui: Slint shell with FR-UI-1 adaptive layout, computed in Rust to
  avoid a binding loop
- docker/android: pinned toolchain, verified producing API 28 ARM binaries

Measured the cost of the temporary CPU readback path (dr-gpu bench):
compute is 0.06-0.28ms across sizes while readback is 0.63-7.43ms, so
readback is 90-96% of frame time and scales with area. Recorded in
ARCH §6.1 — this is why spike S1 is the priority.

Mitigations pending S1: reuse the staging buffer, apply at most one
resize per frame, and cap render resolution at 2048 on the long edge.

10 tests passing; core crates cross-compile for aarch64-linux-android.
