dtourolle	7596cf9bcc	State the compatibility baseline and the channels ... NFR-COMPAT-1 and NFR-COMPAT-2 were instructions to write a requirement, not requirements: "state the API level", "state the channels". Both are now stated from what the build enforces and what exists. The baseline is minSdk 28 / targetSdk 36 from the Android Dockerfile, a Vulkan adapter at wgpu's default limits because compute needs storage textures — device_from already called that the floor and is tagged for it — with no optional feature required, since the f16 in FR-DEV-2 is a texture format and not shader arithmetic. The reference device is the HONOR ROD2-W09 the figures are taken on, and the second-vendor clause is recorded as unmet rather than quietly dropped: there is no Mali or PowerVR device, so an Android figure here is an Adreno figure. The channels are all self-distribution — Arch package, local Flatpak, sideloaded APK, NSIS installer — because D13's face weights rule out every store, and the two consequences are written down: SAF stays although a sideloaded build need not have it, and S11 becomes a pre-publication step.	2026-09-19 12:25:04 +02:00
dtourolle	696bafa9d5	Undefer AI subject masking, which shipped, and give it a clause ... §7 still listed "AI subject masking — deferred per D11" while MaskSource::Subject and MaskSource::Category, backed by dr-segment's instance and semantic models, had been the primary way a local adjustment is made for weeks. The code was tagged FR-DEV-3, which names gradients and brushes and says nothing about a model. FR-DEV-3i now states what exists: a subject or a category found by a local model, stored as identity with the run's signature so that it merges per field and reads as stale rather than wrong, then treated as any other layer by the edge, stroke, composition and reveal clauses. The one place it departs from FR-DEV-19 — coverage written run-length coded beside the layer, so a stored subject renders without a model — is recorded in the clause instead of left for the next audit to find. The segmentation crate and the UI's selection module are tagged to it.	2026-09-19 12:25:03 +02:00
dtourolle	327decfab1	Fuse every detector's faces into one population per embedder ... Choosing "Thorough" made the library look empty. The detector setting writes under its own faces.model_id, and every reader of "the faces" keyed on that exact id: the clustering pass, the coverage figure, the sweep's work list, the shard export and import, and the sync merge's face matching. On the reference library that restarted coverage at 1,834 of 19,140, drew a People rail of 36 faces for a person with 520, queued a ~400 GB re-fetch on each device, and stranded the desktop's 3,583 confirmations under the old id: the tablet held the same faces under the new one and the merge refused to match them. Same photograph, same box, same embedder, two ids — that is one face, not two libraries. The embedder half of the id is now the key. embedder_of and embedder_sql give it to every query; writes keep the full id, so which detector drew a box stays on record. record_detections is unchanged and is where the generations meet: an image holds one pipeline's faces at a time, and a re-detection carries confirmations across by box overlap. The merge's match_faces applies the same rule within an embedder. The calibration is keyed on the embedder too, since the similarity space did not change. Shards travel every generation, each under its own id, and a peer adopts whichever it is sent — including a stronger detector's pass over an image it indexed itself with a weaker one, which is the re-detection its own sweep would otherwise queue, already done. Never downwards: a tablet on Fast keeps the desktop's Thorough faces. The sweep gains the same tail — images a weaker detector indexed, after the ones nothing has — driven by FaceDetector::supersedes, so choosing a stronger detector still improves the library over time without first making it disappear.	2026-09-19 10:49:28 +02:00
dtourolle	c0b1e78f7c	Return a panic inside the decoder as an error, not as the end of the thread ... rawler panics on some input rather than returning Err — a DNG whose IFD claims a >50000 px image, which the reference library has: a 521 MB stitched panorama, IMG_4181-Pano.dng. On a worker thread a panic is the end of the thread, so the face sweep that met it stopped thirteen seconds in, three sweeps running on the tablet and three on the desktop, with "17301 image(s) to index" as the last word. FR-RAW-4 says a malformed file must not abort a batch, and that is this crate's promise whatever the library beneath it does: every entry point that calls into rawler now runs under catch_unwind, and a file that panics the decoder is one failed file with the panic's message in the error. Verified on the panorama itself: metadata reads, decode returns the error, the thread survives. The crash hook still records the panic, which is right — it is a defect in a dependency and the record is how it gets reported.	2026-09-19 10:45:07 +02:00
dtourolle	78cb00634e	Fetch the photographs around the open one ahead of the step to them ... Walking the photo roll was one download per frame: every step showed "Downloading…" over an empty canvas while tens of megabytes came down, and moving between a pair of near-identical frames paid that a dozen times. Now, once the opened photograph has landed, the ones around it are fetched into the originals cache while it is being looked at, so the next step is a disk read. A single worker serves the latest wish only, closest first and working outwards — next, previous, next-but-one, previous-but-one… — one file at a time. Each open replaces the wish, so a fast walk never leaves a trail of stale downloads competing with the one being waited on. A process-wide in-flight registry makes a click on a photograph that is still being fetched ahead wait for that transfer and read it from disk, rather than start a second download of the same file. How far each side is a setting under STORAGE — Off, 2, 5, 10 or 20, defaulting to 5 — and it is moot while "keep originals after opening" is off, since a fetch the cache would discard on arrival is transfer for nothing. Nothing is fetched ahead while offline. The transfers show in the activity list while they run and are removed when they end.	2026-09-19 10:36:50 +02:00
dtourolle	9b627e7713	Let a catalog writer wait for its turn instead of losing its work ... SQLite's busy timeout defaults to zero, and nothing ever set one: the loser of a write race got SQLITE_BUSY at the moment it asked. WAL does not cover this — it makes one writer and many readers free, and this application constantly has two writers, the face sweep committing a batch while the derived sync imports shards or reclustering reads. The cost was not a retry but lost work. A sweep that had already paid for the detection and the embedding — seconds per image, the expensive part — discarded the result on "storing faces for 214: database is locked" and moved on to the next image. Both the desktop and the tablet logged runs of those on consecutive images, which is a face sweep quietly failing to store the faces it had just computed. Ten seconds, on every connection, set in configure() so that nothing can open the catalog without it — the figure the job runner's own tests have used for this reason since they were written. It is far longer than any transaction here, so it bounds pathology rather than making anyone wait.	2026-09-14 20:05:53 +02:00
dtourolle	eeee3d920a	Back the catalog up daily, not only before migrations ... NFR-R2 asks for the catalog to be backed up on a schedule and before schema migrations. Only the second half existed: every backup on disk was a pre-migration copy, and a library that never migrated was never backed up at all. A backup is now also taken at the end of a library sweep when the newest one is more than a day old — the moment the catalog is quiet and a day's collection and people edits have just been folded in — on its own thread and its own connection, so the copy of a 130 MB file is not spent on the UI. Whether one is due is read from the backup directory, not the catalog, so the ordinary case costs nothing. An empty catalog is skipped: there is nothing in it a rescan would not rebuild. Pruning to KEEP_BACKUPS applies as before.	2026-09-13 19:32:05 +02:00
dtourolle	f100db89ca	Verify the catalog snapshot before it is sent, and after it lands ... Two checks around the upload, both cheap next to what they prevent. Before: the snapshot is quick_checked before it leaves. It is the copy every other device merges from, and a damaged one costs each of them a download, a failed merge and a refusal to push. After: the staged upload's size on the server is compared to the bytes sent before it is rotated into place. A chunked upload is assembled server-side, and an assembly that goes wrong is a file of plausible size no device can open — caught here, on the device that caused it, for one listing; otherwise on every other device, after the fact. A mismatch, or a size the server will not confirm, discards the upload and leaves the current copy and its generations untouched.	2026-09-13 19:31:58 +02:00
dtourolle	6f62ac09f8	Give every chunked upload its own directory on the server ... The upload directory was named from the destination path alone, on the reasoning that two files could then not collide. Two devices uploading the same file could, and did: both wrote 00001…00009 into one directory, and whichever MOVEd first assembled a mix of the two — a catalog of exactly the right size whose pages came from two different databases. SQLite called it malformed, every client declined to overwrite it, and collections stopped syncing on all of them for a week. A transfer that died on a phone's link left its chunks there for the next device to assemble in, by the same mechanism. The name now carries a nonce as well, so no two uploads share a directory, and a failed transfer deletes its own directory on the way out rather than leaving 5 MB chunks for the server to sweep eventually.	2026-09-13 19:31:58 +02:00
dtourolle	ef1154af94	Resolve every base directory in one place, and on Windows ... Five sites each read XDG_*_HOME and fell back to $HOME/.local/… on their own, which is fine on Linux and wrong everywhere else: Windows sets neither variable, so every one of them degraded to a path relative to the working directory — for a Start Menu launch, C:\Windows\System32. The models lookup walked XDG_DATA_DIRS the same way. dr_plat::dirs now holds the rule per platform: XDG on Unix, the known folders on Windows — %APPDATA% for config, which roams, and %LOCALAPPDATA% for data and state, which do not — and the executable's own directory as the system data dir, which is where the installer puts the models. The Android overrides stay where they were; only the fallback behind them moved. Both rule sets are unit-tested on either host, and the Windows one was confirmed by running the application under Wine: its log landed in AppData\Local\darkroom\state and nothing was written anywhere else.	2026-09-12 07:34:05 +02:00
dtourolle	896188a489	Read the sidecars other editors write, and write them back on request ... FR-CAT-13 asked for standard XMP and `core/dr-xmp` answered the file: it has read and written `dc:subject`, `xmp:Rating`, `xmp:Label` and the IPTC core since 5fa4c07, under an ownership rule that leaves everything else in the document untouched. What nothing did was call it. No scan found an `.xmp` beside a raw, no catalog row was filled from one, no judgement wrote one back, and the "external modification detected, reload offered" clause had no mechanism. A library imported from Lightroom came in and could not go back out. The scan collects `.xmp` beside `.drsc` from the listings it was already paying for, and the pull reads each one whose ETag has moved. Both namings resolve: darktable's `IMG_0001.CR3.xmp` names its file exactly, Lightroom's `IMG_0001.xmp` names the stem, and under the stem the JPEG beside a RAW is the same photograph and takes the same document, as DarkRoom's own sidecar already does. Each is reconciled with the catalog winning — keywords union, a rating or label taken only where the catalog has none — because a standard XMP carries nothing that could say whether its value is newer. A genuine disagreement is not resolved; it is written to a table, and the settings page offers the sidecars' values against it. That button is the reload the requirement asks to be offered, and the ETag that moved is the detection it asks for: an `.xmp` edited elsewhere is exactly a file the pull's ordinary incrementality re-reads. Writing goes the other way behind a setting that starts off, since NFR-R4 makes writes beside somebody's originals theirs to switch on. With it on, a judgement or a keyword rewrites the sidecar of whichever spelling exists, or creates Lightroom's. The record is read from the catalog whole at that moment rather than carried from the gesture, so a rating and a keyword a second apart are two writes of one file that agree. And the file's own title, caption, copyright and hierarchy come through the rewrite: the catalog has no columns for them, `rewrite` replaces the owned set wholesale, and a record that said nothing about them would have deleted them from a Lightroom sidecar on every star. The rating's two axes cross the format's one field both ways: a rejection is Adobe's `-1` and stars are stars, and stars arriving on a rejected frame lift the rejection, since the file said it was worth a number. An unrated file says nothing and clears nothing, on the rule the `.drsc` merge keeps. `versions.label` finally has a reader and a writer, with the code table moved out of the query so the two cannot drift.	2026-09-12 01:08:11 +02:00
dtourolle	d3b6127db6	Let a photographer name the state they liked, and go back to it or look at it ... FR-DEV-5 asked for named snapshots of an edit state and FR-DEV-7 for a comparison against a chosen one, and neither existed. The history stack is per sitting and forgotten with it, on purpose — the gap that mattered was an automatically saved mis-drag with no way back, and that was closed first. What was left was the other half: a state the photographer wants to keep *because* it is worth keeping, which is a different thing from a step and is not served by making the steps last longer. A snapshot is an edit state, and an edit state is exactly what a sidecar version stores, so it is stored as one: a `[version]` block carrying `snapshot-of = <uuid>`. The parameters, the masks and their parts, the repairs and the film all arrive through the blocks that already carry them, a merge keys on the uuid as it does for any version, and a build that predates the key reads the block as a named version and keeps it — the right failure. Only the pointer is new. The one reader that has to know is `default_version`, which must never answer with a snapshot: a file whose edit is missing is not a file whose edit is one of its saved moments. The snapshots of an edit are listed by that pointer, oldest first, the same on every device. Writing them back removes what this sitting deleted and puts in what it holds, and leaves standing whatever it never saw — a snapshot the other device took since the photograph was opened here is not this device's to remove by not knowing about it. That is the rule the version merge already keeps, applied one level down, and it is why the save carries the deleted ids rather than replacing the list wholesale as the masks are. Each is re-pointed at the uuid the save settled on, because the default may have been fused onto its canonical identity since the snapshot was taken. Restoring is one history step, so undo takes it back whole, as a paste is. Taking and deleting are not steps: they change nothing about the photograph, and an undo that removed a snapshot would be undoing a decision to remember. Holding the eye beside one renders the snapshot and hands the edit straight back — the same suspension "Before" uses, against a point the photographer chose rather than the file. Two sessions on the same photograph get ids that cannot collide, stamped with the second and a random word, because the merge folds equal ids into one.	2026-09-12 01:08:10 +02:00
dtourolle	369eb8fbf0	Put the log and the crash records in one file, and show it before writing it ... NFR-OPS-1 asks for a diagnostics bundle — the log, the schema version, the GPU and driver, the app version — "with an explicit preview-and-consent step before anything leaves the device". The log and the crash records have existed since August; what did not exist was any way to hand them over that was not `adb pull` and a knowledge of where the state directory is, which on the tablet the requirement was written for is nobody. Nothing here sends anything, and that is the design rather than a gap: crash.rs already says why a transport built ahead of the consent is the shape of thing that gets switched on by default. The bundle writes one text file to a place the user can find, so that they can attach it. That is the moment it leaves, and it is theirs. So the consent guards the write, not a send. Preparing gathers everything into memory and shows what would be written — each section, its size, what was taken out, and where the file would go — and only the second press puts bytes on disk. A user who reads the preview and presses the other button has changed nothing anywhere. The gathered bundle is held between the presses so what is saved is exactly what was shown, not a second gathering that differs by whatever was logged while they were reading. One text file rather than an archive, because a `.txt` opens wherever the user is sitting and pastes into an issue, and because the preview can then be the file rather than a summary of it. Every line goes through the blunter of the two redactions on the way in, whatever the sink already did to it: the log's own rule keeps paths, since a path read over `adb` is context, but a file meant to be attached to a public report by someone who may not read it first is held to the crash record's rule instead. The About page's graphics line gains the driver, which the requirement names and the adapter has always reported. And docs/outstanding.md is corrected on both OPS requirements: it said crash reporting was a log::error! hook and NFR-OPS-1 had nothing behind it, and neither had been true since 2026-08-30.	2026-09-12 01:08:10 +02:00
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.	2026-09-12 01:08:10 +02:00
dtourolle	0a2c49dd10	Guard two constants the Windows target leaves unused ... secrets.rs names the keyring service and desktop_client.rs the socket timeout, and every use of both sits under a cfg that a Windows build does not satisfy — the placeholder secret store has nothing to file under, and the Nextcloud client's named pipe is not opened yet. The first cross-compile reported both as dead code, which is a failed clippy job the moment the Windows leg runs with -D warnings. Guarded by the same cfgs as their users, with the reason beside each.	2026-09-12 00:54:10 +02:00
dtourolle	4f31123b0c	Let the user choose which SCRFD finds their faces ... faces.md §12.3 measured what the cheapest detector costs: the small faces in every group shot, and a dog embedded a dozen times. Which trade is right depends on the machine doing the sweep — a desktop left overnight and a tablet on a battery want different answers — so the detector is now a per-device setting, Fast / Balanced / Thorough on the settings page beside the indexing button, persisted with the rest of the settings file. A detector is half of a model id. Every face, marker, shard and calibration is keyed on faces.model_id precisely so that a model change is a new id and a re-index rather than a silent change under existing data, and a detector change is a model change: it decides which faces exist and where the landmarks that align them land. So each choice names its own pipeline. 500M keeps the bare "w600k_mbf" every existing library was written under, so an upgrade disturbs nothing; the others are qualified. Choosing one restarts coverage from zero under the new id, the sweep re-detects, confirmed names carry across by box overlap, and the sync shards are keyed by the same id so a peer on another setting neither adopts nor pollutes them. The library controller carries the id into the sync the same way it carries the cache budget, because the sync starts from places that have no settings in reach. All three shape-fixed exports ship — APK, Arch, Flatpak — since a tablet has no other way to obtain the one it was not installed with; the APK grows by twenty megabytes for the choice.	2026-09-11 22:12:53 +02:00
dtourolle	adf5d6cdd9	Drop a rival pipeline's marker when an image is re-indexed ... record_detections replaces every face on an image whatever model found them, but left the other models' face_index rows standing. With one model that was unobservable. With a second pipeline it leaves an image marked "done" under the first with none of its faces behind the marker — the state the V12 repair existed to undo — and a user who switched back would find those photographs permanently empty. An image now holds the faces of whichever pipeline looked at it last, and only that pipeline's marker. Confirmed names still carry across by box overlap, since they were read before the replacement.	2026-09-11 22:12:40 +02:00
dtourolle	16f3fb41a3	Measure the faces already found rather than finding them again ... Every face stored before its quality was kept holds a unit vector, and V14 forgot the run marker of each image holding one so that the next sweep would look again. Looking again meant detecting again: a whole re-detection per image, with every suggestion on it thrown away and the confirmations carried across by box overlap, to recover one number. The sweep now has a measuring pass between the proxy repair and the un-indexed images. It lists every image holding an unmeasured face, fetches the original once, warps each stored face from the landmarks it already has, embeds it, and writes the raw vector and its length over the old row. Ids, boxes and identities are untouched; the marker is re-written fresh so the sync exports the measured vectors. A face whose landmarks no longer make a warp is dropped, as detection would have refused to store it. `faces_unindexed` leaves those images to the measuring pass, so the V14 deletion no longer costs a second detection.	2026-09-11 21:50:12 +02:00
dtourolle	8b3abdb787	Keep each face's quality, and never compare against a poor one ... The embedder's raw output has a length, and the length is a reading of how recognisable the crop was: a blur, an occlusion or a hard profile comes out short. Normalising threw it away. A short vector sits near the middle of the sphere and matches a little of everyone, which is how one bad crop bridges two people in a grouping pass. So the length is kept — the store now holds the raw vector, re-normalised on load, with the length beside it as `faces.quality` — and a face under MIN_GALLERY_QUALITY (14) is a probe: measured against the gallery and placed where it fits, but never what another face is measured against. Two probes are never paired, and a probe is nobody's evidence for a confidence. The People screen shows the number as "Quality 17.3", dimmed below the floor. Faces indexed before this stored unit vectors and have no reading; they are admitted to the gallery, and schema V14 forgets the run marker of every image holding one so the next indexing pass measures them. A peer's unmeasured shard faces are not adopted, or a sync would write that marker back.	2026-09-11 21:50:12 +02:00
dtourolle	a87139b838	Give every mask an eye and a colour, and put the brush where the mask is ... The first build of seeing a mask showed the selected layer's, in one global style, from a strip at the top of the panel. It answered the wrong question and answered it somewhere nobody looked. What a photographer asks of two masks is how they meet — where the sky's edge sits against the building's — and that needs both on screen at once, in colours that can be told apart. So each row of the stack has an eye, drawn in the colour its mask is shown in, and each mask has six swatches to choose that colour from. Several can be open at once; a new one comes up open, in the first colour nothing else is using. The style — tint, alpha, outline — is the one setting that stays global, above the stack, because three styles at once are three pictures that cannot be read against each other. Alpha now draws every shown mask, each in its colour, on black. In the pipeline a `Reveal` is a list of `(layer, colour)` rather than one layer, and every reveal block carries its own colour. The brush moves too. Select, Paint and Erase and the three sliders under them sat at the top of the panel, appeared only once a row was selected, and said nothing about which mask they acted on — so "how do I paint" and "how do I correct the model's outline" both had the same answer and nobody found it. They sit under the selected mask's parts now, beside the swatches, and on a subject or a category the hint says what a stroke there does: it becomes a part of this mask, joined to the model's, and can be taken out again. Eyes and colours are viewing state, on the session and not on the layer, so a photograph reopened has every eye closed — the stored-mask round-trip test asserts it.	2026-09-11 19:03:51 +02:00
dtourolle	c045702a47	Show the photographer the mask they are shaping ... Nobody can refine an edge they are not being shown. The only thing drawn on the canvas was the region overlay — a false-coloured picture of what the model *detected* — which knows nothing of a layer's feather, its falloff, its morphology, its invert or its opacity, and nothing at all about a gradient, a range or a stroke. Every control added for mask editing therefore acted on something invisible, which is why the whole feature reads as absent rather than as unfinished. A layer's finished mask now draws over the photograph in one of three styles: a tint for whether the right thing is selected, an alpha for where the edge is, an outline for whether that edge is registered against the detail the other two hide. The hard part is not the shader. A selection with no adjustment on it changes no pixel, so it is not active, so it holds no slice of the mask array and is never rasterised — and that is exactly the layer somebody wants to look at, for the whole of the time between choosing a subject and deciding what to do to it. So `MaskStack::rendered` is `active()` plus the layer being looked at, and the rasteriser, the composer and the distance-field builder all index by position in it. Which is also why the design's "two uniforms, no recompile" is not available: a uniform can select a slot, it cannot conjure one. The reveal is never on the graph. It reaches the pipeline as an argument to `compose_revealing`, and `compose_for` — which the exporter, the thumbnail and the neutral probe all call — has no way to ask for one. A flag on the graph would have been shorter, would have type-checked, and would have been one forgotten reset away from a red tint baked into an exported file. And the tools that shape a mask now arm. `Masking.tool` is an `in` property only Rust may write, and the handler wrote nothing back, so the strip reported "Select" however many times Paint was pressed and the paint area was never enabled — the brush, the parts and the whole of FR-DEV-19b reachable from no control in the application. The region overlay stands down while a mask is being shown, and its button now says what it hides: two overlays that look alike and mean different things is worse than either.	2026-09-10 20:28:06 +02:00
dtourolle	193b35a249	Start a category mask where the photograph can bear it ... Clicking "architecture" made a layer whose mask was gone. Every category layer began at STRICTNESS_DEFAULT, and that constant was fitted on the synthetic sky the refine tests build — its own note warns that a real photograph's noise "moves every crossing down together", which turns out to be a considerable understatement. Measured over seven ordinary frames, half scale removes 76% to 99.5% of `architecture`, 36% to 93% of `ground` and 18% to 91% of `vegetation`. Only sky, the category the number was calibrated against, survives it. An empty mask is indistinguishable from a broken one: the layer is listed, the adjustment moves, and no pixel changes. So what this looks like from outside is that the segmentation does not make masks at all. No smaller constant fixes it either, because a nat of evidence means different things over a smooth sky and over a stone facade — the useful position is above 5 on one frame and below 1 on the next. So the frame is asked instead: `Refinement::gentle` walks down from half scale and takes the first rung whose gate removes no more than a sixth of the category's weight, and the model's own outline when none of them does. One `apply` on a friendly photograph and four on an unfriendly one, paid when a layer is made rather than for eight categories nobody masked. The slider's reset went to 4 as well, so taking the control back to its "default" emptied the mask. It goes to zero now, which is the one position documented to mean something: exactly what the model weighted.	2026-09-10 20:27:40 +02:00
dtourolle	404fea47a8	Wrap the lines the merge resolution left long ... `cargo fmt --check` failed the desktop job, on three files and for one reason: routing the mask handlers through the `Masking` global was done by substituting the call prefix, which is a text edit rather than a Rust one. It left `window.global::<Masking>().on_part_join_picked(...)` on a line that had been short enough as `window.on_mask_part_join_picked(...)` and no longer was. Formatting only. The whitespace-stripped source is identical in the two `ui/` files; the third differs by the trailing commas rustfmt adds when it breaks a call across lines. The matrix moves with it, because the tags shift by a few lines and the check compares line numbers.	2026-09-08 08:57:32 +02:00
dtourolle	4c217c9be6	Show what a control does to a photograph, one parameter at a time ... A node that has just been declared can be read, reasoned about and tested, and none of that answers the question a photographer asks first: what does moving this do to the picture. Colour grading, dehaze and the range masks were all argued into the tree on their behaviour and none of them had been *looked* at. So two diagnostics. `sweep` walks one operation from its minimum to its maximum and writes a frame per step; `rangesweep` does the same for a mask band, which is not an ordinary parameter — it lives on a layer, is rasterised by its own pass, and only becomes visible through whatever adjustment the layer carries, so it gets two stops down to make the selection legible. `sweep` names no operation. The id arrives as a string and the parameters and their ranges come from the graph's own capabilities, so a node declared yesterday sweeps on the same terms as one that shipped a year ago — the property `ops/README.md` promises, used rather than asserted. Three things it learned the hard way and now records. It renders through `render_detailed` unconditionally, because the fused path refuses a shader composed with a detail stage rather than rendering it wrongly, and that call falls through when there is no such stage. It takes `SWEEP_HOLD`, because a parameter grouped under one widget is not meaningful alone: a hue with no strength behind it renders the same frame every time, which reads as a broken node rather than a correctly declared neutral. And it bounds the output, since a 25 MP frame is a 75 MB PPM and a sweep is hundreds of them. Both read a rendered file as readily as a raw one, so a JPEG can stand in where no raw is to hand — on the terms `from_rgba8` documents, with the controls still working and their neutral being what the camera left rather than what the sensor recorded.	2026-09-07 20:01:08 +02:00
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.	2026-09-07 20:00:40 +02:00
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.	2026-09-07 20:00:40 +02:00
dtourolle	bac5801618	Ask which collections a selection is filed in, and how much of it ... `collections_for_image` answers this for one photograph and has no counts, which is enough to badge a cell and not enough to offer a removal: with forty selected and three of them in "Iceland", a sheet that says only "Iceland" invites the user to take all forty out of a collection thirty-seven were never in. `membership_of` returns the count alongside the name so the row can say "3 of 40". Chunked over the image list rather than one `IN (...)`, because the list is a selection and a select-all makes it as large as the library — past SQLite's bound-parameter cap on exactly the gesture most likely to produce it. Counts are summed across chunks, so the answer is the one the unchunked query would have given. Smart collections are excluded by construction: they have no member rows, so there is nothing a removal could do.	2026-09-07 19:59:44 +02:00
dtourolle	af89433aee	Offer the lens profile as a tick box, since applying it silently reads as absent ... The develop panel's Optics group is three manual sliders: distortion, chromatic aberration and lens vignetting. The automatic correction was already there — the file's EXIF lens is matched against the bundled Lensfun database on open and the coefficients are fanned out to all three — but nothing in the interface said so except a line of grey text under the camera reading "· corrected", and there was no way to decline it. From the outside that is indistinguishable from the feature not existing, which is how it was read. `dr-lens` states the rule this breaks: an automatic correction that silently does nothing is worse than one the user can see is unavailable. The caption satisfied the letter of it and not the point — a photographer looking for "apply the lens profile" found three sliders and no switch. So the profile is now a control. It is a capability rather than a flag on the session, because everything a photographer sets travels one road: the capability list feeds the generated panel, `Preset` captures it, the sidecar stores it and the undo stack replays it. A bool on the side would have needed adding to each of those four by hand and would have been forgotten in at least one — which is exactly how the mask stack came to be missing from the history. It is on by default, which is what `switch_on` is for: the coefficients are a measurement of the lens that took the photograph, so accepting them is neutral and declining them is the edit. The sidecar therefore stores nothing for the ordinary case and the correction still happens. The switch appears only where a profile was matched. A tick box on a photograph whose lens the database has never heard of would be a control that looks available and does nothing, which is the failure the rule above names rather than an instance of following it — those photographs are told "· no profile" in words instead, and one whose box is unticked now says "· profile off", which is a third fact and not either of the other two. Two things had to be built underneath. `ParamKind::Bool` was in the core's closed enum and mapped to a row kind here, and had no control behind it in `adjust.slint`: a parameter declaring itself a switch was flattened into a row that drew nothing at all. Nothing shipped had one until now, so the gap cost nothing and was invisible. And `Check` self-toggled, which is right for a settings page that owns its value and wrong for a panel row that is a view of the edit graph — the click would have answered by replacing the binding with a literal, and the next undo or pasted preset would have moved the value with the tick left where the finger put it. It now takes `controlled`, and the generated row uses it. The manual sliders are unchanged and still trim whatever the profile leaves, so switching it off is "correct this by hand" rather than "stop correcting".	2026-09-07 00:27:47 +02:00
dtourolle	901f51e6c4	Point at something grey and let the pipeline work out the rest ... FR-DEV-3 has asked for "white balance (temperature/tint, and picker)" since it was written, and only the first half existed. `WidgetKind::WhitePoint` was in the vocabulary and `develop::supported` answered false for it, so the node degraded to two sliders — correct behaviour that had quietly become the only behaviour. Sampling a neutral is the first move of the global tonal pass and every colour judgement afterwards is measured against where the grey was put, so guessing at two sliders until a wall stops looking green is the wrong way round. The awkward part is that a picker genuinely needs to know how far a hundred units of temperature move red against blue, and that number is declared in the node's own file. So the inversion lives in `dr_pipeline::neutral` rather than in the interface: the canvas hands over a colour, the core finds the operation that asked to be driven by a pixel and bisects its declared response until the sample comes back grey. Nothing in `ui/` names white balance, and nothing holds a second copy of a response that would be wrong the first time somebody adjusted the range. A bisection rather than a closed-form inverse because only monotonicity is part of the bargain — the expression is free to become a table tomorrow. The result is rounded to the precision the control is drawn at, which is not cosmetic: unrounded, sampling something already neutral lands a ten-thousandth off zero, and the photograph comes back modified with an undo step for a correction of nothing. On the panel side this needed one distinction the generated path was missing. `is_on_canvas` was being read as "and so the panel draws nothing for it", which is right for a crop — four edge fractions are not controls anyone drags in a list — and wrong for an eyedropper, which *writes* temperature and tint and leaves them exactly the controls a photographer reaches for next. So a sampling widget keeps its sliders and puts the affordance that arms the canvas in the group's heading, built like the reset beside it. One click, one sample, one history step: `Edit::Action` never coalesces, and there is no hover preview to fill the stack with temperatures nobody chose. Declaring the presentation also groups temperature and tint under one undo step, where they were two. That follows from what `Presentation` means and reads correctly — white balance is one decision — but it is a change, and worth saying so.	2026-09-06 19:01:52 +02:00
dtourolle	43652bd613	Say where the positives really come from, not where they were going to ... `calibrate.rs` claimed its positive pairs came from user confirmations "then burst siblings, since FR-CULL-5 already groups bursts", and repeated it beside the pair floor: "the positives are bootstrapped from bursts and a handful of early confirmations". Neither is true and neither ever has been. Nothing in the workspace pushes a burst pair into a `Pairs`; nothing pushes any pair at all outside this file's own tests. The sentence was written while both halves of docs/faces.md §8.1 were being planned together, describing a source that was going to exist, and it has read since as a description of what the code does. The distinction matters more here than in most comments, because this file is the one place in the subsystem allowed to say what a similarity *means*. A reader who believes the fit is drawing on bursts believes a young library is gathering positives on its own, which is precisely the opposite of the state FR-CULL-9 legislates for — a library with no fit, no valid calibration, and a reference curve it must not present as a measurement of itself. The floor of 200 positive pairs looks arbitrary under the wrong story and obvious under the right one: confirmations arrive one at a time, from a person. So the comment now says what is here — a positive is a pair confirmed onto one person, and there is no second source — and keeps the burst idea where it belongs, as §8.1's proposal, with the two reasons it is not in the code: this crate is handed cosines and cannot see a catalog, and the purity of a burst pair is a thing to measure before it is a thing to trust. No behaviour changes; the arithmetic is untouched.	2026-09-06 19:01:50 +02:00
dtourolle	5fa4c0772b	Speak the sidecar format every other editor already reads ... FR-CAT-13 asked for standard XMP and nothing in the tree parsed or wrote a byte of it. `keywords.rs` mentioned `dc:subject` in a comment about what a keyword's text is for, `dr-export`'s metadata module said "neither is read by `dr-decode` today" about its own half, and `dr-preset-xmp` reads a different file for a different requirement. So a library imported from Lightroom could come in and never go back out: a one-way door, which is not a thing a photographer walks their archive through. `core/dr-xmp` reads and writes the properties the requirement names — `dc:subject`, `lr:hierarchicalSubject`, `xmp:Rating`, `xmp:Label` and the IPTC core fields — from whichever shape the file happens to use. A property may arrive as an attribute or as an element, inside a Bag, a Seq, an Alt or no container at all, because the specification is not what wrote the file; so one collector takes whatever is in a property and the declared shape decides only how many values survive. `xmp:Rating="-1"` is modelled as Adobe's rejection rather than folded into zero stars, since DarkRoom keeps those on two axes and the mapping belongs where both are visible. Writing is a rewrite rather than a serialisation, and that is the whole design. An XMP sidecar is a shared document: the file beside a raw carries somebody else's `crs:` settings and comments and namespaces, and rendering our record over it would be data loss on every photograph but the first. The rule is stated once, in the crate documentation and in `PROPERTIES`: DarkRoom owns exactly those properties, identified by namespace URI and never by prefix, and nothing else in the document. Everything unowned is copied through byte for byte. A `Description` left empty once our properties come out of it is withdrawn, which is what keeps a rewrite idempotent instead of adding a husk to the file on every save. Precedence is settled conservatively, because a standard XMP carries no revision and no device and there is nothing in it to order two edits by. Keywords union, following the rule `dr_catalog::merge` already makes for assignments; every other field is taken only where DarkRoom holds none, following `Version::merge`'s judgement rule, and a genuine disagreement is reported rather than resolved so a caller can offer the reload the requirement asks for. What is deliberately left open — when a reload may happen without asking — is written down in the module rather than picked silently. No new dependency: quick-xml was already in the tree for WebDAV and for Lightroom presets. Nothing above the crate calls it yet, and `outstanding.md` now says so along with the two smaller gaps, GPS and the filename convention.	2026-09-06 19:01:48 +02:00
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.	2026-09-06 19:01:48 +02:00
dtourolle	81b1ae8c42	Measure the haze from the picture, and divide it back out ... Four files named dehaze as a member of the compositional detail family — `detail.rs` twice, `dr-gpu`'s detail module, `ops/README.md` and `capture_sharpen.rs` — and no such node existed. Every one of them was describing the family by listing clarity, texture and a control the photographer could not reach. Haze is the one degradation the controls already in the chain cannot remove, and the reason is spatial rather than tonal. Scattering composites an airlight over the scene in proportion to distance, so the lift is per-pixel: a black point that clears the mountains crushes the foreground, and a contrast curve that clears the mountains does the same. So the node has to estimate the transmission at every pixel, which is the dark-channel prior — the local minimum over the channels and over a patch is the airlight that has been added there — and then invert the scattering model with it. The airlight is taken as neutral and as unit, which removes the one part of the published method this stage cannot perform. Estimating it properly is a whole-frame reduction, and the detail chain has none: it hands each pass the pass before it. It is also unnecessary, because white balance is the first node in the chain and has already driven the illuminant to grey, so only the magnitude is unknown — and an unknown magnitude on the veil is a scale factor on the amount slider, which the photographer is setting by eye regardless. The patch is a fraction of the frame's shorter edge, through `RenderScale::frame_fraction`, and never a count of pixels. It has to be wide enough to contain something dark and narrow enough that what it measures is still local, and both of those are statements about how much of the composition it covers — so it must cover the same proportion of the picture on a proxy as in the export, or the file is sharpened for a patch three times narrower than the one that was tuned on screen. Affording it needs an identity a Gaussian does not have. Erosions compose by adding their structuring elements, so the minimum over a run of d followed by the minimum over k points spaced d apart is the exact minimum over the whole kd window. At the square root that is 16 taps rather than 61 at 4K, and it is the same filter rather than an approximation of one — which is the difference from the strided kernel `local_contrast` refuses, where sampling an image that is not band-limited aliases into the base and comes back as mottling. It runs first among the compositional detail nodes, at order 125: after noise reduction, because dividing by a transmission below one amplifies the noise in the veiled distance by exactly the factor it recovers the contrast by, and before clarity and texture, coarse before fine, so that their base is computed on the picture the veil has left rather than on a modelling about to be divided out. What it cannot honour is the placement dehaze most wants. It shifts colour — it subtracts a grey term and rescales, so saturation changes wherever the veil is thick — and the colour work would ideally be correcting the picture that leaves here. The detail stage runs as a group after every point operation, because a neighbourhood pass is a separate dispatch over a texture the fused pass has finished writing, so an order placing this node ahead of `vibrance` would be a lie the chain cannot tell. Interleaving would mean splitting the fused pass in half around it, at the cost of a second full-frame dispatch and intermediate for every edit in the catalogue whether it dehazes or not. The declaration records that rather than leaving it to be rediscovered. FR-DEV-18 is added to the requirements register alongside it. The tag had nowhere to point, and an orphan tag fails the traceability gate rather than quietly counting for nothing.	2026-09-06 19:01:47 +02:00
dtourolle	7c3e1d2c54	Let the shadows and the highlights carry a colour the picture never had ... The colour mixer is the only chromatic control in the chain, and it can only turn a hue that is already in the frame. Ask it for cool shadows against warm highlights and it has nothing to take hold of: the shadows of a correctly balanced photograph are near enough neutral that there is no band there to turn, and a monochrome conversion hands it a picture with no hue in it at all. Split toning is the oldest look in the book and every developer worth comparing against ships it; there was no way to reach it from here. So colour_grading, declared like any other node — a hue and a strength for the shadows, the midtones and the highlights, and a global cast over the frame. It targets a tonal range rather than a hue, which is the whole difference between the two controls: it puts colour where none was rather than turning what it finds. It sits at 105, after the mixer has had the last word on the colours that are in the picture and before the detail stage. The mechanism is one helper. Three cosines 120 degrees apart are the hue wheel written directly as an RGB direction, and their sum is zero at every angle, so exp2 turns them into three gains whose product is exactly one — a cast tilts the balance without moving the level. A grade that doubled as an exposure change is the failure that has the photographer chasing brightness with a colour slider, and it is corrected with a control that cannot reach it. The three tonal weights partition the scale rather than overlapping, the midtones being whatever the two ends leave, so setting all three to one hue is exactly the global cast and a split tone does not colour its own midtones as a side effect of its halves meeting. Full strength is half a stop on the leading channel, the ceiling white balance already holds itself to. Neutral is declared rather than inferred, which is what `active:` is for. A hue with no strength behind it is a direction with no distance, so under the default rule nudging one would have put the node into every fused shader for a change nobody can see. Summing the strengths is zero exactly when all four are, and they cannot go negative to cancel each other. The opposite reading — neutral as "nothing has been touched" — fails the other way round: red is hue zero, so a grade toward red never moves a hue off its default and would never have been applied at all. It asks for a colour wheel, the widget the descriptor vocabulary has been carrying with no operation behind it. Nothing draws one yet, and that is fine by construction: the panel takes the first widget it implements and falls through to sliders otherwise, so this arrives as eight ordinary controls that work. Each parameter is named for its own range for exactly that reason — in a flat list, four sliders called "Hue" are four controls nobody can tell apart. FR-DEV-12 is written into requirements.md beside it. A TRACES tag naming a requirement that is not defined there is an orphan, and the traceability gate fails on those rather than quietly counting them. The label catalogue gets one line for the operation's display name; the eight parameters derive correctly and are left to.	2026-09-06 18:51:40 +02:00
dtourolle	efa9d84aad	Correct the lens first and settle the grain last ... `Attribute::ALL` has claimed since it was written to be roughly the order a photographer works in, and 474dcf0 moved `Compose` to the front on exactly that argument. Both ends went on contradicting it. `Optics` sat fifth, so the column offered the lens corrections after the tones they change. Removing a vignette brightens the frame; an exposure judged before that correction has to be judged again after it, which is the definition of the wrong order. `Detail` sat fourth, so sharpening and noise reduction — the only work here that depends on everything above it, and the only work that cannot be judged at fit view at all — were offered before the lens had even been put right. So `Optics, Compose, Tone, Colour, Effect, Detail`. `Optics` leads even `Compose` because it is not a decision about the photograph at all: it is undoing what the equipment did, a property of the capture rather than a choice. `Effect` after `Colour` is a look laid over a settled picture, and is the one slot that is genuinely arguable — a spectral film simulation declares `renders` and replaces the base curve, which is a case for treating it as foundational instead, and e235e99 filed film under `Effect` only days ago. The doc comment records that tension rather than pretending to settle it; an array of six cannot say "last, except when it is first". `decl::Attr::ALL` moves with it. It is the second spelling of one vocabulary, compiled by `build.rs` where `descriptor` is not visible, and the agreement test in `declared/mod.rs` zips the two positionally — that test is what caught the last reorder, and it would have caught this one. Nothing persists a position in this list, which is what makes the reorder safe rather than merely tidy. `Scope` packs one bit per attribute indexed by `Attribute::ALL`, but `bits` is private, has no accessor and no `serde`; what reaches a settings file is `develop.copy_attributes`, a list of names read back through `Attribute::from_name`. A photographer's copy scope survives untouched — only the order the names happen to be written in changes. 6a97fdf is why this is worth a commit now rather than a shrug: the contradiction was harmless while the list only fed a row of chips nobody reads in order, and stopped being harmless when the same list began driving a column read top to bottom. The matrix follows the two files' shifted line numbers.	2026-09-05 21:17:56 +02:00
dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	e235e99cce	Move the film to Effect in the descriptor that is actually read ... An earlier commit claimed to move `film_sim` from `[tone, colour]` to `[effect]` and did not. It edited `ops/film_sim.yaml`, where `attributes:` is read, validated against the vocabulary, and then dropped: a `rust:` node publishes its own descriptor, and the type still said tone and colour. The stock went on appearing in the Light group beside exposure and again in Colour beside white balance, exactly as before, and every test passed. Nothing caught it because nothing could. The declaration parsed, the parity tests compare ids rather than attributes, and an operation filed under the wrong groups renders perfectly. It surfaced only on screen, as a missing Effects tab — which is indistinguishable from a category that genuinely has nothing in it, and is precisely how `Optics` looked for as long as it was empty. So three changes rather than one: `FilmSim`'s descriptor declares `Attribute::Effect`, which is the move the earlier commit described. `attributes:` joins the keys a `rust:` node may not carry, beside `params`, `uniforms`, `wgsl`, `helpers`, `define` and `label`. The rule was already written — "its descriptor comes from the type" — and attributes were the one field that slipped past it. A key that is silently ignored is worse than one that is rejected, because it reads as though it worked; the eight hand-written declarations lose a line that never did anything. And a test asserts that every attribute the chain carries reaches the tab strip. That is the property that was actually broken, and its failure mode is invisible from every direction: the controls exist, they are in the shader, and there is no way to filter to them.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	6a97fdf6f9	Put the adjustment groups in the rail where a finger is driving ... Reported from the tablet: the tool rail is very useful there, and the same interface under a mouse and keyboard is not. That is `ui-navigation.md` D-N2's central assumption failing in use, and the interesting part is which half of it failed. D-N2 was right that platform is the wrong axis and width is the wrong axis: a tablet in landscape wants what a desktop wants, and a desktop window dragged narrow wants what a small screen wants. `apply_layout_class` still decides the layout class from the window and nothing here changes that. What D-N2 got wrong is the sentence "touch changes hit regions, not layout" — it identified input as the real difference between the targets and then assumed that difference could never reach the layout. Two controls answer one question — which group of adjustments am I looking at — and neither is better in general. A horizontal strip above the column is one gesture to a target the eye has already found, and it pans when the operation set is rich, so a group can sit off the end with nothing saying so: a pointer user tolerates that, a finger user never discovers it. The same list down the rail is every entry visible at once, each finger-sized, on the edge of the screen the hand is already holding, and it costs no width because the rail is already there. So `ToolRail` grows a second section, and `GroupStrip` stands down when it does. The two are never both on screen, which is why they can share `adjust-tab-picked`: Rust is not told which was pressed and has no reason to want to. Mode and group stay independent axes as N1 requires — one entry lit in each section, and choosing a group while a tool is held still filters without putting the tool down. They stay drawn differently, which N1 also required. The tools fill with `active-dim` and invert their ink; the groups take a bar down the leading edge — the strip's underline turned ninety degrees — so a lit entry says which kind of state it is without the reader having to remember which section it was in. The rule between the sections is the second signal. The rail scrolls now. Its own note argued against a Flickable because "this list is four entries written in this file"; with the groups in it the list comes from the operation set, which is exactly the "something the user's data decides" that note excluded this control from. The axis is input, and it is a preference because the automatic answer is a guess that cannot be made reliable. Neither platform can be asked what the user is holding: an Android tablet in a keyboard case is being driven like a desktop, and a touchscreen laptop is whichever its owner says. `dr_plat::is_touch_first` reports the usual case per platform, and `GroupNavigation` lets it be overridden. Settings names what Automatic resolves to on this device rather than leaving it to be found by pressing. D-N6 records the reversal beside the decision it reverses, including the half that still stands and the question it opens: whether Local is a mode at all, or a scope that would collapse the two sections into one list.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	474dcf0bf6	Let Compose lead the attributes, as their own doc always said ... `Attribute::ALL` claims to be "roughly the order a photographer works in" and then listed framing fifth, behind tone, colour and detail. Framing is the first decision made about a photograph and the one every later judgement is made inside — there is no sense balancing tones across a frame about to lose a third of its width. The contradiction was harmless while the list only fed a row of chips nobody reads in order. It stops being harmless now that the same list drives a column read top to bottom. `declared::Attr::ALL` moves with it. The two are separate spellings of one vocabulary and a test asserts they agree, which is what caught this rather than the order silently disagreeing between the YAML front end and the crate.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	1ad35e2b87	Read the library's sidecars, so a cull done elsewhere arrives ... Judgements only ever travelled outward. A rating went to the catalog and to the photograph's sidecar, the sidecar reached the server, and there it stopped: the scan indexes files, `derived_sync` exchanges thumbnails, face shards and collections, `dr_catalog::merge` reconciles everything in a catalog except `versions.rating` and `versions.flag`, and the one sidecar reader that existed ran when a single photograph was opened in develop and handed its answer to the develop graph. `JobKind::ReadSidecar` was declared for exactly this when the job queue was written and was never enqueued or handled anywhere. The grid draws `versions.rating`. So a day of culling on the tablet could not reach the laptop by any path the application had, and the laptop's catalog says so plainly: 23,568 images, one of them judged. `pull_sidecars` closes it, off the back of work the scan already does. `dr_sync::scan` reports the `.drsc` files it meets in listings it was making anyway — no extra request, and a directory whose ETag is unchanged is still pruned before it is listed at all. A new `sidecars` table records the ETag of each one this device has taken in, so the fetch is one GET per sidecar that genuinely changed rather than one per photograph. A library nobody has edited costs nothing. The judgement is taken rather than maximised. The sidecar is the authoritative store and the fuse has already settled any contest between devices on `revision`, so lowering a rating from four to one on the tablet lowers it here — taking the larger would have refused every demotion the photographer ever made, which is most of what a second pass over a shoot is. A zero is the exception: it means *never judged*, not "judged zero", so a sidecar carrying none cannot erase a star this device holds. That is `merge_judgement`'s asymmetry and it carries the same known cost — clearing a rating does not propagate. A sidecar names a stem, so both halves of a RAW-and-JPEG pair are judged: they are one photograph (FR-CAT-11) sharing one document, and judging only one of them would leave the grid disagreeing with itself over which it drew. The `LIKE` that finds them is a filter, not the decision — `sidecar_path` is applied to every candidate, because a folder is entitled to contain a `%` and a rating landing on the wrong frame would be silent and permanent. Failing to read one is not a failure to scan: the ETag goes unrecorded, the ratings already here stay where they are, and the next scan tries again. The count is reported to the status line as well as the log, because a grid that silently gains three hundred stars is indistinguishable from one that has gone wrong — and because while this number was structurally zero there was nothing to tell the photographer their cull had not arrived.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	ca2a135e28	Let two devices name the same photograph's version the same way ... A version's uuid is the identity a cross-device merge keys on, and it was minted at random, per catalog, per image. Two devices indexing one Nextcloud library therefore held two different uuids for the same photograph — so the sidecar they shared collected a `default = 1` block each, `Version::merge` was never handed a matching pair to reconcile, and an afternoon's culling on the tablet did not exist as far as the laptop was concerned. `crate::merge` has said so in a comment since it was written: version uuids do not reconcile across devices, a uuid-keyed join unions nothing, so keywords are landed on the local default version instead. It named the problem and worked around it. `rating`'s own comment asserted the opposite — that generating the uuid here was what made it a cross-device identity — and `library::amend` repeated the claim. Uniqueness was never the difficulty; agreement was. `derived_version_uuid` computes it from `oc:fileid` instead. The server assigns that integer, every client pointed at the library sees the same one, and it survives a server-side rename and move — the three properties that already made `ASSIGN_BY_FILE_ID` prefer it to a content hash. The layout is a UUIDv8 (RFC 9562, an application-defined form) carrying all sixty-four bits verbatim across the variable fields with a fixed tag in the node field, so the mapping is injective by construction rather than by a hash's good behaviour, and a uuid in a sidecar can be read back to the file it belongs to by eye. A library with no server behind it has no shared identity to derive and keeps a generated one. The split is still reachable there if the folder is synced by something else; `Sidecar::fuse_default_versions` repairs that case rather than preventing it. Deriving it for new rows alone would have fixed nothing — every image in an existing library already has a version, so every one of them would have carried on writing to its own rival identity. `align_default_version_uuids` moves them, and runs from `schema::backfill` on every catalog open. It selects on the tag in SQL, so a catalog already realigned matches no rows and writes nothing, and it declines rather than fails where a virtual copy already holds the target.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	601c984894	Fold a photograph's rival default versions back into one ... Picking the newer of two default versions stopped the wrong edit being shown, but it did not close the split: the losing version stayed in the file, and a device holding disjoint work — a crop made here, an exposure change made there — still contributed only one of the two. Worse, the next write made it larger. `amend` looks its version up by uuid, neither of the two was ours, so the miss minted a *third* `default = 1` block and the file grew one rival per device per photograph. `Sidecar::fuse_default_versions` folds them down. The version with the highest `(revision, modified)` is the accumulator and every other default is merged into it as the remote, which is what makes the fold order-independent — `Version::merge` raises its own revision to `max + 1` as it goes, so merging a chain in ascending order stops being ascending after the first step and a third device would be dropped. Contested values resolve to the winner, disjoint keys survive from both sides because the merge is key-wise, and ratings come across under `merge_judgement`, so a device that never judged the frame cannot erase one that did. The result is a function of the file's bytes alone, so two devices that fuse independently reach the same document and converge instead of overwriting each other. Called wherever a sidecar is parsed: - `amend`, with the write's own uuid, so the fold lands on the identity this device is about to use and the lookup below it hits instead of missing. - `spawn_sidecar_fetch`, so opening a photograph shows everything done to it rather than whichever half won. - `drain_one`, because `merge_into` reconciles by uuid and would otherwise publish the split rather than resolve it. - `presets::load_local` and `save_local` — a local sidecar's folder may be synced by something else entirely, and gets the same split. A file with one default under the expected uuid comes back byte-identical, so this costs nothing on the ordinary write and no sidecar is uploaded merely for having been read.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	98fcf8e98e	Ask which edit is newer, not which uuid sorts first ... A photograph edited on two devices ends up with two `[version]` blocks in one sidecar, both marked `default = 1`. Five of the thirty-eight sidecars in the local cache are in that state right now. `default_version` answered with the first `is_default` it met in map order, and the map is keyed on uuid — so which device's work the photographer saw was decided by which randomly minted uuid happened to sort lower. On `IMG_20130625_0033` that is `0545c20a` over `679fe872`: a four-star rating from the twenty-first of August standing in front of the one-star made on the thirtieth, with nothing anywhere saying the newer judgement existed. Resolved by `(revision, modified)` instead, which is the discriminator `Version::merge` already uses — revision first so that a device with a skewed clock cannot win by claiming a later timestamp (FR-NC-8), and the timestamp only to break an exact tie. This makes the reader pick the right one. It does not make the two converge: the edit that lost is still in the file, and a device that holds disjoint work — a crop here, an exposure change there — still only contributes one of them. That is the next commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-09-05 16:13:49 +02:00
dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	a56baa9042	Let rustfmt have the assertion it reflowed ... The closure taken down to `&dyn Operation` needed its call site re-wrapped, and I wrapped it by hand rather than letting rustfmt decide: it fits on one line at the workspace width. `cargo clippy` was run on the change and `cargo fmt --check` was not, which is the whole of how it got through — the two catch different things and CI runs both.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	2841eaf9a1	Take the layer-chain test's closure down to &dyn Operation ... `clippy::borrowed_box` is denied by the workspace lint set, and the closure added with the optics exclusion took `&Box<dyn Operation>` — a borrow of the box rather than of the thing in it, which says nothing the plain trait object does not. Caught by `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, which is what CI runs and what the workspace tests do not: a lint on test code only appears when the tests are compiled as a clippy target.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	c4ddcbe0f7	Look the lens up and say plainly whether one was found ... `dr-lens` has held a complete Lensfun lookup — distortion, TCA and vignetting coefficients from a lens name, a focal length and an aperture — with no dependents anywhere in the workspace. The three corrections it feeds now exist in the graph, so this connects the two and finishes the chain. The coefficient structs stay duplicated. `dr-pipeline` is organised around having no dependencies so its codegen is testable without a device or a database (ARCH §6.5a), and `dr-lens` carries an XML parser and 5.5 MB of profile data. Neither crate can convert to the other, so the conversion goes above both, in `develop.rs`, which is the only place that sees them together. Both traits grow the same defaulted door. The optical corrections do not sit on the same side of the fetch — distortion and CA rewrite coordinates and are `Warp`s, vignetting applies a gain to the pixel already there and is an ordinary node — and fanning a profile out by which trait each happens to implement would make the caller reason about that distinction. Each correction takes its own share of the whole profile instead, and `set_lens_profile` walks both lists identically. The lookup happens in `set_source_metadata` rather than in its caller, because that is the one place a session is told which file it came from. Doing it there makes it unforgettable, in the shape `FilmRebake` already uses for the other derived thing — and, more to the point, makes *clearing* unforgettable: a session that opened a second photograph while still holding the first one's profile would correct it for the wrong optics, invisibly, in a way that looks exactly like the lens. It needs the whole shot and not just a name. Distortion is interpolated across a zoom's focal range and vignetting depends strongly on aperture — a fast prime can be two stops down in the corners wide open and clean by f/8 — so a lookup missing either returns coefficients measured for a shot nobody took. Missing any of the three refuses rather than guesses. A profile is derived, not persisted: it comes from the file's EXIF and a database, so it is not a parameter, not in the sidecar and not undoable. What is an edit is the manual trim beside it, which each correction composes with the measurement — so a photographer can lean on it, override it, or work without one. `InfoPanel` gains a lens line, and it distinguishes three cases rather than two. `dr-lens` states the rule it exists for: an automatic correction that silently did nothing is worse than one the user can see is unavailable. A session with no header draws nothing, a header naming no lens reads "Lens not recorded", and a lens the database has never heard of reads "· no profile". Collapsing the last two would send somebody hunting for a profile that was never missing — which, for third-party and adapted glass, is the ordinary case.

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.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	e17b909d41	Connect the lens vignetting correction to the pipeline ... `ops/vignetting.rs` has carried a complete descriptor, polynomial, helper and test suite without an entry in `ops/`, so it was never in `chain()`. It reached no photograph and no panel, and `Attribute::Optics` was an empty category in consequence — filtered out of the tab strip for having no rows, by a chain that had never been given its only member. Declaring it needs the one thing the operation was written against and which did not exist. `wgsl_body` reads `radius`, and the module claimed "the composer publishes `radius` in the shader prologue for exactly this reason". It did not. `sample_source` now does, in both sampling branches, beside the `source_px` it already published for the same class of caller. It is corner-normalised there, which is the part that is easy to leave out. `p` spans ±0.5·aspect, so its length at the corner is 0.5·length(aspect) — about 0.901 on a 3:2 frame, not 1. Lensfun's polynomials are fitted against a corner radius of 1, so passing `length(p)` straight in evaluates every one of them short of where it was measured, by a factor that changes with the aspect ratio. It would have read as a correction that is simply too weak, which is indistinguishable from a bad profile. Both `lens.rs` and `framing.rs` asserted the normalisation `p` does not have; corrected. `order: 5` puts the correction ahead of the tonal stages, and the ordering is load-bearing rather than tidy. Recovering a corner means dividing by an attenuation below one — about two stops for a fast prime wide open — so run after the highlights have been rolled off and clipped, the lift has nowhere to go and the corners posterise instead of brightening. `layer_chain` now drops `Optics` as well as the neighbourhood operations. A local vignetting slider would have worked, which is what makes it worth excluding: `radius` measures from the centre of the whole photograph and a mask cannot move the optical axis, so it would lay a frame-centred radial ramp across the picture and multiply it by the mask. The existing exclusion covers operations that move and do nothing; this one covers an operation that moves and does something its name does not promise. The rule both share is now written down.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	8e7b1350bf	Name the frame's category for the decision, not the maths ... `Attribute::Geometry` becomes `Attribute::Compose`, and `film_sim` moves from `[tone, colour]` to `[effect]`. Two categories were doing the wrong job. "Geometry" describes what crop, straighten and the quarter turns do to coordinates — but it describes lens distortion correction exactly as well, and that is not a compositional choice at all. Naming the attribute for the photographer's decision is what separates it from `Optics`: one is what the lens did, the other is what they chose. The maths the two have in common is not the thing worth filing them under. A film stock declared both `tone` and `colour`, so "Kodachrome" appeared in the Light group beside exposure and again in Colour beside white balance — two places, neither of which is where anyone looks for it. It is neither: `Effect` is defined in this same file as "applied rather than corrected — a look, not a fix", which is what a stock is. That it moves tone and colour is true of every look, and is not what the attribute is for. `from_name` still accepts "geometry" on the way in. That string is persisted in `develop.copy_attributes`, and an entry it fails to parse is not an error — `presets::scope_for` logs it and drops it — so without the alias an existing settings file would have quietly narrowed what a paste carries. `name` writes the current spelling, so the file migrates itself the first time it is saved.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	f6c9343bcc	Ask the pixels where the edge is, not just what belongs ... The colour gate decided *what* was in a category and had no way to decide *where* its edge fell. A colour test has no notion of an edge. So a refined sky lost its flag and kept the model's twenty-pixel-blocky outline, and no setting of the control could move that outline onto the horizon. This adds the second half: a **marker-based watershed**. The mask is eroded to give two markers, and the flood runs in the ribbon left between them, meeting along the most expensive line it can find. The cost is a sum of terms exactly as docs/segmentation.md §2 specifies — the photograph's own edges, and the colour model's disagreement. ## Why this is not the watershed §15 threw away That path failed because the merge *ladder* collapsed: 45,808 basins reduced to one region plus specks. There is no ladder here. Markers prevent over-segmentation by seeding rather than by merging afterwards, so the one component that broke is the one component this does not have. The markers are also better than the textbook's. scikit-image derives them by thresholding the gradient — guessing where objects are — where these come from a model that knows what sky is. Marker selection is what normally goes wrong with this method, and it was already solved. ## The gate still runs, and it runs first A flood cannot replace the colour gate. It only refines contours that already exist, and there is no contour around a flag precisely because the model never noticed one — the flag in the tests sits forty-five pixels from the boundary against a ribbon of six. The tests caught this; the first version of this commit had the flood standing in for the gate and the flag stayed. So the gate goes first and *creates* the contour, and the flood then puts every contour — the horizon and the new hole alike — onto a real edge. ## Erosion that does not delete flagpoles Eroding by a cell and a half destroys anything thinner than three cells: a mast, a bare branch, and equally a strip of sky between two of them. Those would be left unseeded and the flood would fill them from whichever side surrounds them, so a flagpole would come back — and come back *confident*. Erosion therefore stops at the ridge of the distance transform. Whatever would otherwise vanish keeps a one-pixel seed down its centre, floored at `min_thickness` so a hot pixel does not qualify. That floor also moves the signal-versus-noise decision out of colour space, where it was a share of a fitted distribution nobody can picture, and into image space, where it is a width in pixels a photographer can see. ## Two modelling errors the outward test found Both were invisible while the refinement could only subtract, because the gate was multiplied by weights that were already zero outside the mask. The moment the boundary could move outward they decided the answer. **A diagonal covariance is wrong along a gradient.** Sky moves along all three opponent features together — luminance up, red-green drifting, blue-yellow down — so treating them as independent charges a colour two deviations along that gradient three times over. Measured: sky fifteen rows past the sample scored 11.6 against a threshold of 11.34, so the model refused the very thing it was refining. The fit now carries a full 3x3 covariance, inverted by cofactors rather than by a dependency (D13, the NDK). **Eroded seeds understate the spread, always, in a known direction.** The sample is drawn from the middle of a category and never from its edge, so for anything with a gradient the colours nearest the boundary are exactly the ones left out. The broad mode is therefore fitted wider than its sample by `SHOULDER`. Same pixel: Mahalanobis 5.9 uncorrected, 1.5 corrected — the difference between refusing the horizon and reaching it. Only the broad mode is widened; the tight ones are what discriminate. ## What was given up Strict subtractivity. It bounded the damage and kept `scene.rs`'s partition true for free, and it had to go: a mask that may only shrink can sharpen a horizon inward but never outward, so wherever the coarse contour sat inside the true edge, the error survived every setting of the control. The travel bound replaces it. Everything beyond the ribbon is already a marker, so the flood never reaches it — not "can only remove" but "can only move this far", and the distance is the model's own uncertainty. That single bound also retires the connectivity test, the reachability radius and the separate additive path that an outward-growing rule would have needed. A blue car below the horizon cannot be gained, not because a rule forbids it, but because the flood is never there. `the_colour_gate_only_removes` keeps the older property where it still holds; `the_flood_cannot_travel_further_than_the_ribbon` holds the new one across the whole travel of the control. ## Cost The flood visits only unlabelled pixels, so confining it to the ribbon is not an optimisation added on top — it is what a seeded flood does. A ribbon of a few tens of pixels around one contour is a small part of a proxy. The distance transform is no longer cached, because it has to be measured from the mask as the gate leaves it and the gate moves with the control. That is one transform plus one flood per change of the control, against a precompute that runs the model once. Verified: fmt clean, clippy --workspace -D warnings clean, 63 dr-segment tests.

Committed on its own rather than swept into the change that happened to produce it: the diff is pure whitespace, and mixed into a commit that alters an algorithm it would be noise in exactly the place someone is trying to read carefully. `cargo fmt --all -- --check` is a CI gate (tools/ci-local.sh), so this had to land somewhere regardless.
