dtourolle e13d3a54fc Watch the mask tools work, rather than reading that they do
A still frame cannot show what makes these tools right or wrong. What
matters is how the mask *moves*: whether a stroke lands where the finger
went, whether a subtraction takes away only what it covers, whether an erase
inside a correction punches through the selection underneath. Every one of
those is a sequence, and the test suite asserts single pixels.

So this renders the sequences. A synthetic photograph, one frame per step of
each mode — painting, erasing, joining a part and taking it out again,
inverting, and sweeping the edge controls — as PPM, which ffmpeg turns into
a GIF in one line. It runs headless, needs no RAW and no model, and takes a
few seconds.

It is also the honest answer to "show me it working" while the tools are
still being wired to a finger: this is the pipeline itself, not a mock-up of
it, and a fault in the fold shows here as a frame that looks wrong.

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.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 a1165ef182 Put the coordinate-domain lens corrections into the graph
`lens.rs` has held a `Warp` trait, a composer and two implementations —
distortion and lateral chromatic aberration — since they were written, and
`compose_warps` was called by nothing outside its own tests. The corrections
existed, were correct, and never touched a photograph.

`EditGraph` now holds them, and `compose_full` emits them between the framing
prologue and the fetch. Distortion first, then CA: each warp receives the
position the previous one produced, and lateral CA is a magnification about
the optical axis of the *undistorted* frame, so measured on a barrel-distorted
one it would be fitted to a radius no profile describes.

They reach the panel the way framing already does — through `capabilities`.
That was the one open question and existing practice answered it: framing is
also not an `Operation`, also has parameters a photographer sets, and also
arrives through that list. Because `Preset::capture` walks the same list, the
sidecar, the clipboard and the undo stack carry a warp's parameters with
nothing registered anywhere, and no file under `ui/` names one (FR-DEV-3a).

`state()` destructures `EditGraph` field by field precisely so that a new
field cannot be forgotten, and it was not.

Chromatic aberration is the only thing that samples per channel, and
`splits_channels` is what keeps everything else from paying for it. Red and
blue are fetched from positions green is not — green is the reference and
never moves, so a wrong correction still leaves one channel sharp rather than
softening all three. With no CA in the chain the single-fetch path is emitted
instead.

The interpolating sampler is now chosen by framing *or* an active warp. Asking
framing alone would have nearest-neighboured a distortion correction on an
unstraightened frame, and that aliasing reads as a bad profile rather than as
a missing filter.

The warps go in the geometry invalidation key rather than the colour one: they
decide which source pixel a colour is read from, so a tile cached across a
distortion change would keep drawing the previous correction. The pipeline
cache needs nothing new — `hash_source` already covers the generated body, and
uniform values never enter it, so arming a warp recompiles and dragging it
does not. Both are asserted.

Two agents worked in parallel and neither could see this. The frame-budget
instrument matches `ParamKind::Enum { variants }` by value, which was free when
a descriptor was `&'static` and everything in it was borrowed for the life of
the program. Descriptors are owned now — a declaration parsed at run time
cannot hand out a `&'static` — so `variants` is a `Vec` and the arm was moving
out of a shared reference.

Bound by reference instead. The arm only ever reads the length.

The kind of conflict that survives a clean textual merge: git had nothing to
report, and the two changes are only incompatible once they are in the same
tree.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 7235972ca4 Measure what a frame costs, so FR-DSP-2 is decided by numbers
`docs/display-and-extension.md` §2 fixes a decision rule in advance: if the
99th percentile of a frame sits inside 16 ms, tiled computation is rewritten
as a scheduling concern for export rather than built on the interactive path.
Nothing in the tree could answer that, so the rule had nothing to act on.

This is the instrument. It renders a 60 MP synthetic source through the real
`render_detailed` at three viewport sizes and four chain lengths, fit and
zoomed to 1:1, and reports nearest-rank percentiles rather than means — a
slider drag is judged by its worst frame.

Three things it does that a simpler timer would not:

- It separates the fused pass from the neighbourhood stage. "Every operation
  active" mixes one dispatch together with a chain of convolutions, and §2's
  question is about the first of those. `point` is every operation that
  contributes a fragment to the fused shader; `all` adds the four with
  kernels, and M3 times those alone by moving only a detail parameter so
  `render_detailed`'s colour reuse skips the fused dispatch. The reuse is
  reported rather than assumed — the `colour` column counts fused dispatches
  and must be zero for an M3 row to mean what it says.

- It times the CPU half separately. Composition runs per frame in
  `DevelopSession::render`, so it is inside the budget whether or not anyone
  has looked at it, and if shader assembly were the expensive half then no
  tile scheduler could help.

- It builds the "every operation" chain from `EditGraph::capabilities` rather
  than from a list, so declaring a new node does not quietly turn that row
  into a shorter chain wearing a longer chain's label.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 ce201c7dd6 Name the two spaces a photograph lives in, so a turn cannot go the wrong way
Every orientation bug this codebase has had has been the same bug: a turn of
the right size applied in the wrong direction. That failure is worth naming
precisely, because it does not look like one — a quarter turn applied
backwards lands 180 degrees from right, so the result is a plausible
transform of the picture rather than anything obviously broken, and on
landscape frames it is not wrong at all. It was the straighten shear, and it
was the segmentation overlay, and each time it was found by eye rather than
by a test.

The reason it keeps happening is that "rotate 90 degrees clockwise" cannot be
checked by reading it. The reader has to hold in their head which of the two
images is being rotated and which way the y axis runs, and there were four
hand-written copies of the permutation to hold it for: the shader prologue,
its CPU twin, the thumbnail path, and the segmentation.

So nothing added here says clockwise, anticlockwise, horizontal or vertical.
The functions say *which space they take and which space they return* —
`into_shown` and `into_stored`, `source_pixel` and `shown_pixel`,
`into_shown_rect` and `into_stored_rect` — and each takes the dimensions of
the space it reads from, so no caller has to work out which pair it is
holding. `StoredRect` and `ShownRect` are separate types because they are the
same four numbers meaning different things, which is exactly the case where a
mistake is silent: a shown rect measured against stored dimensions produces a
rectangle in the wrong place, not an error.

Underneath there is one permutation. `source_pixel` was already shared by the
prologue and the thumbnails; `source_point` is its normalised twin, written
beside it so the two cannot drift, and everything else is those two read
forwards or backwards. `Orientation::inverse` is the group inverse rather
than `4 - turns`: mirrors apply after the turn, so undoing means undoing them
first, and a mirror seen from the far side of an odd turn is about the other
axis. That is the diagonal-mirror case, tags 5 and 7, and getting it wrong
renders as — again — 180 degrees.

Three call sites lose their own copy: the thumbnail path, `dr-ui`'s
segmentation, and `dr-gpu`'s `local` example. "Upright" now means one thing
across the application rather than one thing per caller.

The gate that matters most is `the_render_and_the_orientation_map_agree`. The
shader prologue and `Orientation` answer the same question by different
routes, and until now nothing checked that they answered it the same way. It
now checks every EXIF tag against every user rotation and mirror on top of
it, because the composition is where the two could agree singly and disagree
together.

The rest earn their place by having caught something. Writing these found two
real errors in this commit's own new code before it ran anywhere: `shown_pixel`
was handed the dimensions of the wrong space and overflowed, and the rect map
turned the wrong way for the diagonal mirrors. A round trip that returns what
went in is the only check worth having here, since every wrong answer is
still a picture.

No behaviour changes. The permutations are the ones that were already being
applied; they are simply applied from one place now.

"Find subjects" was handed the proxy in the sensor's own orientation, so
every frame shot on a body held sideways reached the model lying on its
side — and a model trained on upright photographs is very bad at those.
Measured end to end on a 22 MP frame of two people and a dog: `person
0.36` and nothing else, against `dog 0.82, person 0.61, person 0.49` for
the same pixels stood up. Nothing failed; the panel simply offered one
poor subject where there were three good ones.

The orientation was never dropped on purpose. The proxy is deliberately
rendered through a *neutral* graph — the detection has to survive an
exposure change, or every slider would invalidate the masks built on it
— and neutral took the file's orientation with it along with everything
else. Landscape frames were unaffected, which is why it stood for as
long as it did.

The turn is `Orientation::source_pixel`, the same function the grid's
thumbnails already go through, so the detector and the thumbnailer now
agree about which way is up rather than holding two opinions. What it is
turned by is `Framing::effective_orientation` — the file's EXIF tag and
the photographer's own rotations composed into one permutation, by the
group law rather than by adding the turns, which is a distinction
`Framing` already had to make and had already tested. Rotating the
picture and pressing the button again therefore does what it looks like
it does.

The proxy stays in sensor space and the masks come back into it. That is
not a detail to be tidied later: the generated shader samples the mask
array at `uv_src`, *after* the framing map, so a mask stored upright
would sit a quarter turn off the subject it was drawn around. That is a
wrong mask rather than a weak one, and nothing announces it. So the
picture is stood up for the model and laid back down for everything
else, and `upright`/`lay_down` are returned as a pair because calling
one and forgetting the other is silent.

Both directions are the one function: `upright` gathers through
`source_pixel` and `lay_down` scatters through it. A quarter turn is a
bijection of the pixel grid, so the round trip is exact — no filter, no
resampling, and no hole to fill — and an inverse written out by hand
would be a second thing to keep in step, whose way of being wrong is a
mask mirrored about the wrong axis, which still looks like a mask.

The orientation joins the confidence and the tiling flag in the
segmentation signature, and for the same reason: turning the photograph
changes what the model recognises, so two runs either side of a rotation
are different instance lists. Two that happened to come out the same
length would otherwise share a signature and a stored layer would be
silently re-indexed from one into the other.

The refine pass had it too — it re-runs the model over a crop rendered
in the same sensor space — so it makes the same turn, and would
otherwise have handed back a worse mask than the one it was asked to
improve, on the subject the photographer had just pointed at.

`dr-gpu`'s `local` example is fixed with it. It exists to be the
shipping path with pictures attached, and a diagnostic that reproduces
the bug it is meant to catch is a trap for whoever reads it next.

Seven tests. The round trip is the identity over all eight EXIF tags on
a non-square asymmetric grid; a turn carries whole pixels rather than
shearing the channels apart; a sideways frame reaches the model
upright; a box comes back in sensor pixels, worked out by hand for the
one turn a portrait frame actually writes; a restored box still reads
low-to-high for every tag, since the rest of the pipeline takes
`x1 - x0` without checking the sign; and the eight tags cannot collapse
into one signature key. The existing composition test now runs against
`effective_orientation` itself, over all 8 x 16 baseline-and-user pairs.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 5323608051 Draw the repairs, before anything sharpens what they removed
A spot set now composes detail passes of its own, one per round, and they
go ahead of every operation's kernel. That placement is the decision worth
recording: a sharpening pass reads a neighbourhood, so sharpening a dust
mark before removing it smears its edge into pixels the repair's disc does
not cover, and what survives is a faint over-sharpened ring around an
otherwise perfect patch. It also disagrees with ARCH §5.2, which draws
spot removal after clarity — docs/spot-removal.md §5.1 is where that is
argued out.

Every length reaching the shader is in render pixels, converted here where
the framing is in scope. Both the centre and the source go through
`Framing::output_at` — the same map the fused pass applies to every pixel
— so a rotated photograph rotates the offset with no trigonometry, and the
radius is found by mapping a point one radius above the centre and
measuring, rather than by multiplying by a ratio this function has no
business knowing about. The tests turn and crop the frame and expect the
mark to stay gone, which is the property that arrangement buys.

compose_full now takes the spot set, because a photograph with a repair
and no sharpening still has a detail stage: a fused pass that encoded its
own output there would quantise twice and bind to a texture of the wrong
format. compose_detail_for takes the source size for the same kind of
reason — a RenderScale describes the region on screen, and a spot is
stored against the photograph.

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.

dtourolle ec713585a5 Measure the distance to the edge, and get four controls for one transform
Feathering, growing, shrinking, closing and opening are the same number
read differently. With the signed distance from the boundary in hand,
dilation is the set where d >= -r, erosion where d >= +r, and a feather of
any shape is a function of d. So the field is computed once and the
controls are arithmetic on it.

The **field** is what reaches the GPU, not a finished alpha, and that is
the point: growing a mask or changing its falloff then costs a uniform
upload and no recomputation, which is what makes them live controls rather
than ones that stall on every drag. Only closing and opening rebuild,
because after the first threshold the shape has changed and the old
distances describe the old one.

Exact Euclidean, via Felzenszwalb's separable transform — not a chamfer
approximation, which leaves a mask visibly octagonal once grown more than
a few pixels. A test asserts the diagonal is √2 rather than 1 or 2.

It runs on the CPU, which ARCH §5.4 forbids for masks. The rule is about
brush lag — a stroke rasterised per frame — and this is a different
operation: once per mask edit, on input the model already produced here,
producing a field the GPU then samples for free. What it buys is exact
determinism, which matters because masks reach the sidecar as indices and a
field that varied by vendor would mean a mask meaning one thing on the
desktop and another on the phone.

The half-pixel in `signed_distance` is not a detail, and a test caught it.
Measuring to the nearest opposite pixel *centre* puts the smallest
magnitude at 1 either side, so the boundary is nowhere and **eroding by
less than a pixel removes nothing**. A control whose first notch does
nothing is a broken control. Half a pixel off each side puts the boundary
where it physically is, and eroding by 1 takes exactly the outermost ring.

Every falloff curve is 0.5 at the boundary by construction, asserted for
all five: changing the curve should change how the transition looks and
never where it sits.

dtourolle ee10097435 Mask the subject the model found, not the regions underneath it
The watershed hierarchy does not survive a photograph, so local masking
stops depending on it. A layer can now be one recognised object, and the
object's own coverage is the mask.

`Options::watershed` defaults off. It costs ~80 ms plus a full-resolution
readback to produce a ladder that collapses, and paying that on every
photograph buys a control that misleads. Kept switchable rather than
deleted: the passes and the hierarchy are correct in themselves and it is
the merge criterion that fails, which is a change to one function.

Masks now rasterise in **source** space at proxy resolution and are sampled
by the composed shader after the framing map. That fixes a real bug: they
were rasterised in output space, so zooming slid the photograph underneath
a mask that stayed pinned to the viewport, and cropping moved every
adjustment to a different part of the picture. Doing it this way also
leaves the framing map in exactly one place — a second copy in the mask
shader would have been a second thing to keep in step, failing only when
straightened.

A subject is stored as identity, not pixels: the mask is megabytes and is
reproducible by running the same model over the same image, so the sidecar
carries the index, the class and the score, and the session carries the
pixels. The class is there to be checked — if instance 3 comes back a "car"
where it was a "dog", something changed and the layer is stale rather than
silently masking the wrong thing.

The overlay now draws instances and is transparent everywhere else. The
region version covered every pixel and so hid the photograph it was drawn
over; the question it exists to answer is whether an outline follows the
subject, which you can only answer by seeing both.

`examples/local.rs` is the worked example: subject in colour with the rest
monochrome, and the subject lifted out of its background. Run on a 5472x3648
CR2 it finds two people and two cars, and the colour-pop keeps her hat and
hair while the wall and grass behind go grey.

dtourolle 0da8271836 Let the model say what a thing is and the watershed say where it ends
Local masking needs to know where an image's regions are. The watershed
spike (S15 arm A) found the boundaries but had no idea what any of them
enclosed; its coarse levels were geometric accidents. This adds the other
half and the thing that joins them.

`core/dr-segment` is where region reasoning now lives — the hierarchy moves
out of `dr-gpu`, which keeps only the pixel passes that are genuinely
shaders. The new crate is device-free and, without its default features,
model-free too: 20 of its tests need neither an adapter nor 11 MB of
weights.

Arm B runs YOLO26n-seg through `ort`. D13 framed inference as a choice
between `ort`'s C++ runtime and the pure-Rust dependency policy; that was a
false choice. `ort`'s `alternative-backend` feature unlinks the C entirely
and `ort-tract` supplies the API from tract, which is pure Rust. Measured
before committing to it: zero unsupported operators, 420 ms for 640x640,
and correct masks on bus.jpg. No NDK problem to solve, so D13's largest
tolerated exception is not needed.

Arm C is `prior.rs`, and it ships because the two arms fail in opposite
directions. Instance membership re-weights the merge saddles, so region
pairs the model believes share an object merge early and pairs straddling
its edge merge late. No boundary moves — only the order in which they
dissolve — which is how the result stays pixel-accurate at every level
while its coarse levels become named things.

Two things the spec assumed that turned out to be false, both recorded in
models/LICENCE.md: there is no usable ADE20K-trained YOLO, so the shipped
vocabulary is COCO's 80 subjects and *stuff* like sky and foliage must come
from arm A; and tract cannot parse a dynamic-shape export, so the graph's
input is fixed and tiling is the only route to more semantic resolution.

Weights are AGPL-3.0, which GPLv3 §13 permits and which makes the combined
work effectively AGPL. Deliberate, not accidental. They live in Git LFS,
and a build script fails with an instruction rather than embedding a
pointer file when the clone lacks them.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 cf8f5b632f Show the develop frame itself, instead of a photocopy of it
The oldest open item in the project (ARCH §6.1, spike S1, AC-8). Every frame
in develop was read off the GPU into a `SharedPixelBuffer` and handed back to
Slint to upload again: ~7 ms at 4K against a 0.28 ms compute pass, 96% of the
frame spent carrying pixels to the CPU and back so they could be drawn where
they already were.

Slint 1.17 will adopt a `wgpu::Texture` directly, and the whole of what that
needs is arrangement rather than code.

**One device, made before the window.** A texture belongs to the device that
allocated it, so the compute passes and the compositor cannot each open their
own. `GpuContext::new_shared` opens one and hands back the instance and
adapter alongside it; `dr_ui::shared_gpu` gives all four to
`BackendSelector::require_wgpu_29(WGPUConfiguration::Manual { .. })`. That
call has to come before the first window, because creating one selects a
backend for you — which is why the GPU is now opened at the top of `run`
rather than two hundred lines down beside the other controllers.

dr-gpu still names no UI type. It hands out raw wgpu and does not ask who is
compositing (ARCH §6.5a).

**Vulkan only on the shared path**, where headless keeps its GL fallback.
wgpu's GL backend reaches its display through EGL at instance creation, and
before a window exists there is no display handle to give it — so a GL
instance cannot later produce the window surface Slint needs from it. A
machine with no Vulkan gets no shared device and browses without develop,
which is the same degradation as no adapter at all.

**`renderer-femtovg` becomes `renderer-femtovg-wgpu`.** The old one is FemtoVG
over OpenGL and cannot be handed a wgpu texture at all. It is not kept
alongside as a fallback: FemtoVG-over-GL has no branch for an imported
texture, falls through to "render this image into a buffer", gets nothing, and
draws nothing — a blank canvas with no error, which is worse than the failure
it would be papering over. The consequence is stated plainly in the manifest:
the desktop app now needs a working wgpu adapter to open a window.

**Two output textures, not one, and this is the part that is not obvious.**
Slint repaints when the image property *changes*, and it decides that with
`PartialEq` — which for two images over the same `wgpu::Texture` says
"unchanged". A pass that reused a single target would have rendered every
slider move correctly on the GPU and shown none of them: right, and invisible.
`AdjustPass` alternates between two targets, so consecutive frames are
genuinely different values. It also settles the read-while-write question that
one queue was already answering.

`RENDER_ATTACHMENT` is added to both render targets. Neither pass uses it;
Slint rejects an imported texture without it, on the reasoning that a
compositor handed a texture may need to draw into it.

**`AdjustPass::read_output` is deleted rather than gated.** It and
`export_pixels` were the same transfer under two names, and the comments
explaining why they were separate are the point of the whole criterion:
reading pixels back to *display* them is the defect, reading them back to
*encode a file* is the only way a file is made. The display twin is now gone
outright, which is stronger than a feature flag — it cannot be turned back on.
`export_pixels` is untouched and still ungated. The `readback` feature comes
off dr-ui, darkroom-desktop and darkroom-android; it stays in dr-gpu, where it
still gates `RenderTarget::read_pixels` and the segmentation field readback.
`examples/develop` moves to `export_pixels`, which is honest — it writes a
PPM — and so no longer needs the feature.

Four tests, each named for what it protects and each of which fails without a
screen if the property it guards breaks:

- the adjust target satisfies every condition Slint's import checks, asserted
  in the crate that owns the descriptor, because a descriptor that drifts
  fails at runtime on a real display and nothing else would notice;
- consecutive renders are different textures, and the third is the first
  again, so the alternation is a rotation and not an allocation per frame;
- the develop canvas has no CPU pixel buffer and does have a wgpu texture —
  AC-8 itself, in the terms Slint uses;
- consecutive frames compare unequal as `slint::Image`, which is the property
  the repaint actually depends on.

The zoom test's readback moves into the test module. It has to: there is no
library function that copies a displayed frame to the CPU any more, and that
is the point — the round-trip now exists in the test binary and nowhere a
shipping build can reach.

**What is not proven.** No GUI was run. What is verified is that the texture
satisfies the import contract, that the import succeeds, that the canvas is a
texture rather than a buffer, and that consecutive frames are distinguishable.
What is unverified is everything that needs a display: that Slint's FemtoVG
wgpu renderer adopts the Manual configuration on a real surface, that the
picture appears the right way up and the right colour, and the frame timing
that motivated the whole exercise. Android is untouched by testing — the
android backend routes a WGPU29 request to Skia, whose wgpu surface does
handle imported textures, but that is read from the source, not observed.

56 dr-gpu tests and 255 dr-ui tests pass, clippy clean under `-D warnings`,
fmt clean.

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 d7aeafaf84 Move to wgpu 29, the version Slint can share a device with
Build and test / Desktop (Linux) (push) Failing after 38s
Build and test / Layer separation (push) Successful in 24s
Traceability / Requirement traces (push) Successful in 1m3s

Build and test / Android (aarch64) (push) Failing after 9m54s
Groundwork for spike S1. Importing a texture into a Slint scene requires it
to come from the *same* `wgpu::Device` Slint renders with, and Slint hands
out a device of the version it was compiled against. Slint 1.17 offers
`unstable-wgpu-28` and `unstable-wgpu-29` and nothing older, so wgpu 23 could
never have met it: two semver-incompatible wgpu crates in one tree are two
distinct types, and the device would not typecheck across the gap.

The version is therefore not a free choice, and the manifest now says so —
Slint and wgpu move together or not at all. The Slint requirement is also
corrected from "1.9" to the 1.17 it has actually been resolving to.

Nothing about the render path changes here. The readback bridge is still in
place and still the display path, so this is verified by the tests that
already existed rather than by anything new: 39 dr-gpu tests, which compare
real pixels off a real device, and 888 across the workspace, all passing.
Zero-copy lands separately and small.

What the six releases cost, in full:

  - `ImageCopyTexture`/`ImageCopyBuffer`/`ImageDataLayout` became the
    `TexelCopy*` names (24).
  - `Instance::new` takes the descriptor by value, and `InstanceDescriptor`
    lost its `Default` — it carries a boxed display handle now, so a headless
    context says `new_without_display_handle` and means it.
  - `request_adapter` returns `Result` rather than `Option` (24).
  - `DeviceDescriptor` absorbed the API trace from `request_device`'s second
    argument and gained `experimental_features` (25).
  - `PipelineLayoutDescriptor` takes `Option<&BindGroupLayout>` per slot, and
    `push_constant_ranges` became `immediate_size`.
  - `Maintain` became `PollType`, and `poll` is fallible.

Two of those are improvements worth having rather than churn. The error scope
is a guard whose `pop` runs on drop, so an early return from the pipeline
compiler no longer leaves a scope open on the device for whatever ran next to
fall into. And a fallible `poll` reports a lost device (NFR-R7) at the point
it happens, where before the map callback simply never arrived and the
failure surfaced later as a readback that spun out its poll limit.

Still to do for S1: dr-ui renders through `renderer-femtovg`, which is
OpenGL. Texture import needs Slint itself rendering on wgpu.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 7c57f490fe Declare a develop operation in YAML, and generate the rest
An operation was, in the overwhelming majority of cases, four facts: what
its parameters are, what uniforms they compute, what WGSL those uniforms
drive, and where it sits in the chain. Written in Rust those four facts
arrived wrapped in ninety lines of trait implementation — a match on
parameter id to a struct field, another match back, an is_active comparing
each field to its default, a Vec<Uniform> built by hand. All mechanical,
and each one a place to make a silent mistake: a param() arm returning the
wrong field reads perfectly and breaks the sidecar round-trip.

So the four facts are the file now. core/dr-pipeline/ops/<id>.yaml is a
node, build.rs compiles it into the same Operation impl as before, and the
result lands in OUT_DIR — the same reasoning as style.yaml -> theme.slint,
including why it does not land beside the sources it would look exactly
like. Nothing downstream can tell a declared node from a hand-written one:
same &'static OpDescriptor, same fused-shader composition, same sidecar.

Nine nodes moved: exposure, white_balance, contrast, highlights_shadows,
blacks_whites, brilliance, vibrance, saturation, and the shared WGSL
helper registry. Their prose came with them, and so did their tests —
set/expect/expect_active/expect_wgsl in the declaration compile to real
#[test]s, so a node file carries its own proof rather than leaving it
behind in a file that no longer exists.

Two stayed in Rust and say so with `rust:`. The tone curve's neutral is a
relationship between five interpolated points rather than a set of values;
the colour mixer generates thirty-six faceted parameters from twelve
computed hue bands. A schema stretched to cover either would be a worse
language than Rust aimed at one caller. They still declare their position
here, because the chain's *order* is the one thing a reader comes to this
directory to learn, and an order written half in YAML and half in Rust
would be worse than either alone. default_chain() is generated from it.

Uniforms are derived by a small expression language — exp2(exposure),
blacks / 100 * 0.02 — compiled to Rust rather than interpreted, so an
unknown name or a wrong arity is a build error naming the file and the key
and the arithmetic costs nothing at runtime. The build script refuses a
duplicate order, a filename disagreeing with its id, a default outside its
own range, a test value the graph would clamp before the node saw it, a
helper that does not define the function it names, and a declared node
colliding with a file in src/ops.

Verified by adding a scratch node and removing it again: one file, no
other edit, and it joined the chain at its declared order with its test
running. 237 tests pass in dr-pipeline, clippy and fmt clean.

.yaml joins the traceability tool's scanned suffixes, because a node's
Rust now lives in OUT_DIR where a tag could never be linked from the
report. Coverage 47.7% -> 48.3%.

dtourolle 2ca1716a29 Make "Choose folder" an actual folder picker
It previously fetched the folder list and threw it away into a status
line — a button that looked like it worked and did not. Now it opens a
browsable picker: click a folder to descend, ".." to go back, "Use this
folder" to select, "Cancel" to leave the root unchanged.

Descends one level per click because that is what the backend supports:
Depth: infinity is frequently disabled server-side and prohibitively
expensive where it is not (ARCH §8.4).

The chosen root persists immediately on confirm, so it survives a crash
before the library is opened. Confirming at the account root is allowed —
a user may legitimately keep everything at the top level — and cancelling
leaves any previous selection untouched, which a test asserts.

Verified against nextcloud.tourolle.paris at both depths: 30 folders at
the root, 21 year-folders inside PhotosRaw.

19 launch tests, 38 in dr-ui.

dtourolle 09e3043f4c Add secure credential storage, sessions, and a launch screen
Login now persists properly rather than through the JSON file the test
harness was using.

  dr-plat            SecretStore trait plus a Secret Service backend.
                     Verified against the live GNOME Keyring: store,
                     retrieve, delete, confirm-gone all round-trip.
  Session/SessionStore   splits credentials from settings — the app
                     password goes to the keyring (FR-NC-2), while
                     server, login, chosen root and format selection are
                     ordinary config. A test asserts the credential never
                     appears in the config file.
  LaunchModel        the launch-screen state machine, testable without a
                     display server: sign in, approve in browser, choose
                     folder, tick formats, sign out.
  launch.slint       the screen itself, in its own file.

Absence of a secrets daemon is an explicit degraded mode, not a silent
fallback to plaintext — the screen says sign-in will not persist rather
than letting the user find out next launch. Android's Keystore backend
fails loudly for the same reason: a no-op store would look like it
worked and then lose the credential.

Two bugs caught by tests rather than by running it:

  - fail() after busy() signed the user out, because busy() had already
    discarded the session. A failed *scan* would have logged you out.
    Busy now carries the session.
  - normalise_server upgrades http:// to https:// rather than accepting
    it. NFR-SEC-3 requires TLS, and silently sending a credential in the
    clear is not a decision to make on the user's behalf.

launch.slint is not yet wired into app.slint. Calling slint_build::compile
twice replaces the generated module rather than adding to it, which broke
the other in-flight work on dr-ui; I reverted that immediately. Wiring it
needs an import inside app.slint, which is that work's file to change.

419 tests passing across ten crates.

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 0f202fd3f9 Add requirements traceability gate and Gitea pipelines
Ports JellyTau's traceability tooling to Rust, carrying across the bug it
was repaired for. That gate divided a traced count by frozen literal
denominators; the requirements file outgrew them and it reported 158%
coverage, so it could never fail its own threshold.

Two rules, both enforced by the extractor's own tests:

  - denominators parsed from docs/requirements.md at run time
  - coverage is |traced ∩ defined| / |defined|, never a raw traced count

The gate additionally fails hard on a misconfigured run — zero
requirements parsed or zero files scanned — rather than reporting a
plausible 0%, and on any orphan tag naming a requirement that does not
exist.

Adapted for DarkRoom: IDs are FR-CAT-1 / NFR-P13 / FR-DEV-3a shapes
rather than JellyTau's fixed three digits, and decisions (D), spikes (S),
milestone items (M) and test ids remain taggable while being excluded
from the denominator — counting them inflated it by 25.

Also adds dr-sync: the RemoteBackend trait and capability model, so the
Nextcloud connector is one implementation rather than the only shape the
engine understands. No mature Nextcloud crate exists (reqwest_dav is too
thin), so the connector will be hand-rolled over reqwest per D7.

Gitea workflows follow the same style: containerised, commented with the
reasoning, desktop and Android on every push, plus a CI check that no
core/ crate depends on the UI toolkit (ARCH §6.5a).

Coverage today: 13.3% (19/143). 50 tests passing.

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.
