The traceability job now runs `tools/manual/record.sh --check`: every
picture docs/manual/README.md shows must be made by a scene in
tools/manual/scenes.py, and every picture a scene makes must be shown.
It reads the two files and nothing else, so it needs no app, display or
LFS pull.
--changed now dates a scene by the newest commit among its pictures
rather than each picture alone. A scene that also makes a picture which
re-records byte for byte (panorama-aligned beside panorama.gif) no
longer stays listed for ever. A scene all of whose pictures come out
identical (launch) stays listed until one differs, which costs one
harmless re-run.
scenes.py aimed every press at window pixels, and the develop column had
already moved under it: Compose now sits above Adjust, so the old
exposure coordinate lands on a straighten slider. Every scene now names
what it presses by its accessible label through the automation hook,
places points on the photograph relative to the canvas, and opens its
photographs by file name. Each starts from a known place and undoes what
it did, so one can be recorded alone; the few that continue another's
state name it, and running one runs that first into a scratch folder.
Each scene also declares the pictures it makes and the sources they
depend on. `record.sh --check` fails when the manual shows a picture no
scene makes, or a scene makes one it does not show; it reads two files.
`record.sh --changed` re-records the scenes whose sources, or own code,
changed since the commit that last touched their pictures. record.sh
builds with the automation feature, restores the library from
DR_LIBRARY_SNAPSHOT, starts from a fresh profile and pins inference to
the CPU; the launch screen is recorded from an empty profile of its own.
Re-recorded with the ported scenes, and looked at frame by frame. What
differs from the pictures they replace:
- develop, presets, settings, local, compose, film, wb, light: the
current develop column (Compose with Vertical and Horizontal above
Adjust, the Label button), otherwise the same moments.
- library pictures: the filter bar's colour-label chips; no collection
left over from an earlier run in the sidebar; library-selection is the
twelve alpine frames rather than eight of them and four New York ones.
- library-rating rates two frames nobody had rated, so the stars are set
and not cleared.
- develop-zoom goes on past 1:1 with the wheel and ends on the file's
pixels as hard-edged blocks.
- repair covers a real mark on the road, with a size that fits it; film
is shown on the Chinatown frame instead of the road.
- panorama tries Perspective, Spherical and Cylindrical before filling.
- launch, launch-folder and panorama-aligned came out byte-identical.
A scene that makes a parent, nests two collections in it by drag and by
the menu, files frames into a child and opens the parent to see it count
both; stills of the tree and of the menu. The collections recording is
re-made now that the bitmap under the cursor is the photograph.
drive.py grows a multi-leg drag: a diagonal with much vertical in it is
taken by the grid's Flickable as a scroll before the DragArea can claim
it, so a drag to the sidebar goes sideways first.
The recording sampled a red brick wall and moved the sliders by three
units, which at GIF size is a click that does nothing. The scene now
drags the frame cold first and picks a white air conditioner, so the
correction is visible and the picker's being absolute - set from the
photograph, not from where the sliders were - is what the picture
shows. The text says so, and says a blown highlight is refused.
The scene clicked 40px to the right of "pick", on "reset", so the
recording showed a neutral group being reset and a click on the wall
that panned. Re-recorded with the picker fixed: the word lights, the
sample moves temperature and tint, and Before shows what it corrected.
docs/manual/README.md is a tour for a photographer opening DarkRoom for
the first time — one picture per thing, moving where movement is the
point. tools/manual/ is how the pictures are made: drive.py puppeteers the
desktop build on a private Xvfb (launch, click, drag, type, screenshot,
record), scenes.py is each picture as a script, and record.sh runs them
all over a folder and writes the results into docs/manual/media/.
The media is in LFS, with the CI pulls excluding it as they exclude the
fixtures; a screenshot changes wholesale when the interface does.
Nothing in the pictures shows a person, by design: the demo library is
seventy urban and alpine frames, chosen from the catalog's rows that face
detection found nobody in.
The traceability matrix is regenerated here after the rebase that
brought this branch up to master.
