dtourolle f6ff5eabd9 Give the collections sidebar its own Slint global
AppWindow carried the sidebar's tree, its row menu, renaming, drag and
drop between rows, the trash row, and the membership sheet as ~40
properties and callbacks on the root component, in the pattern CH-1
describes and the develop screen's globals (Adjustments, Framing, Steps,
...) already replaced. Collections.* in collections.slint now holds that
state, declared next to the MembershipRow struct it and the membership
sheet both use; Rust reaches it through window.global::<Collections>()
instead of window.set_/get_/on_/invoke_ on the root.

collection-selected, collection-select, and collection-offline-menu stay
on AppWindow: library_ui.rs invokes collection-select directly and
registers collection-offline-menu's handler, and lib.rs reads
collection-selected for back-navigation, so moving them would have meant
editing library_ui.rs, which another change on this branch is splitting
into a module directory. collections-visible stays too — it is
lib.rs's panel-layout state, seeded from the saved layout before the
sidebar exists, and collections_ui never touches it. Everything prefixed
library- (the grid's drag, selection and keyword state that the sidebar's
Rust also wires for cross-feature gestures like filing a selection into
a collection) stays on the window as well, since it belongs to the
library screen, not the sidebar.

dtourolle 1e171c6d31 Let a collection be picked up, rearranged, and emptied after the fact
Collections could be made and filled and never reorganised. Nesting had
a drag; un-nesting had nothing, in either direction — "All photographs"
refused every drop, which is right for a photograph and wrong for a
collection, which has a top level to be returned to. So a collection put
inside another was in there permanently. Right-click deleted an *empty*
collection outright and refused otherwise, which is wrong in both
directions at once: destructive with no confirmation, and no way at all
to delete a collection that held anything without emptying it by hand,
child by child. And a photograph could only leave the collection the
grid was scoped to, since that is the only one a button in the header
can name — the cell's badge says a photograph is in three collections
and never which three.

Three ways in, one vocabulary:

**Hold a row.** The tree is inside a Flickable, which claims any drag
beginning inside it, so with a finger a drag on a row is a scroll until
something says otherwise. The hold is that something. It lifts the row —
drawn before anything moves, so the gesture says it has been understood
— and then what the user does decides which of two things they meant:
move, and it is a rearrangement; let go, and it is the row menu. The
same fork the grid already uses to tell hold-to-select from drag-to-file.
`decide_release` is that fork, and it is tested, because getting it
wrong one way puts a sheet over every tidied tree and the other way
makes the menu unreachable by touch.

**The row menu.** Rename, new collection inside, move to top level,
keep offline, delete. Deleting asks once when there is anything to lose
and says what survives: the photographs stay in the library, and nested
collections move up rather than going with it — which is what the
catalog does, and what a user would never assume. An empty collection
goes on the first press, because a dialogue about losing nothing is how
people learn to dismiss dialogues.

**"Collections…" on a selection.** Every collection the selection is
filed in, each with a count — "3 of 40", so nobody takes forty
photographs out of a collection thirty-seven were never in — and a way
out of any of them without navigating there first.

The long press used to open the offline question by itself. That
question is one item in this menu now: there is one hold per row, and
while it was spent on a single action nothing else the tree can do had
a touch route at all. Nothing is lost — the tray on the row keeps its
tap, and the question gains a full-width control in place of a 30px
icon in a row shorter than the touch minimum.

The row-press handler moves to `collections_ui` with the rest of what a
collection row does; it lived in `library_ui` only because it opened
that prompt.

dtourolle 577bbd82b0 Return the action the drag offered, not the one this row prefers
Slint negotiates a drag action between source and target, and the
runtime clamps whatever `can-drop` returns against the set the source
allowed: an action outside it becomes `none`. Both drop targets here
named a constant instead of echoing what was on offer, and each named
the wrong one for half its traffic.

A collection row takes two kinds of payload. Photographs come from a
DragArea allowing `copy`; a collection being nested comes from one
allowing `move`. The row asked for `copy` unconditionally, so images
filed correctly and every collection dropped on a collection was
refused — nesting by drag has never worked. The trash had the same
fault mirrored: it insisted on `move` while the grid's cells allow only
`copy`, so it refused every photograph dragged to it.

Neither failure had anything to see. A clamped action is delivered as a
refusal, which looks exactly like a target that declined on purpose, so
the drag simply did nothing and left no error to search for.

`decide_drop`'s Reparent branch was tested and passing throughout. It
tests the decision, not the negotiation, and nothing was reaching it.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c7e1822f77 Put the two collection actions in the collections panel
"Keep offline" and "Change library" were buttons in the library
header, in a row that is otherwise entirely library-wide. Both refer
to the tree instead.

"Keep offline" could only ever mean the scoped collection, while
sitting nowhere near the tree that says which that is — and while the
sidebar already offered the same question twice, on each row's tray
and on a held row. It now sits under the tree, in the panel whose
selection decides what it acts on, in the same place and shape the
trash already gives Restore and Empty. It stays a labelled control
rather than being dropped for the tray: a 26px row's tray is a small
thing to hit, and "Kept offline" spelt out for the collection you are
looking at is the discoverable version.

"Change library" was wedged between Sync and Rescan, two buttons that
act on the library you already have. Reading it as one of that group
is a way to lose a scan by aiming badly. It is now the last thing in
the panel, under the tree it replaces wholesale, behind a rule.

On a tablet both are one tap further away, behind the sidebar toggle
that leads the header. That is the panel a user is already in when
they scope the grid to a collection, so it is where they are when
either of these becomes the thing they want.

The grid keeps `pin-done`/`pin-total` and its progress bar: the
transfer is worth reporting wherever it was started from, including a
row the grid is not scoped to.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 6acc73a9fa Drag a collection onto another to nest it
The tree could be built nested but never rearranged: `set_parent` existed,
with its cycle check and its tests, and nothing in the UI called it. A
collection created in the wrong place stayed there.

Each row is already a drop target, so it becomes a `DragArea` too —
wrapped at the instantiation site the way the grid's cells are, which
keeps the row's own TouchArea nested underneath and a click still
selecting. `allow-move`, not copy: a collection has one parent, unlike a
photograph, which is filed in as many collections as you like.

The drop is handed only the target's id, so the source is remembered from
the press that precedes the drag — Slint builds the payload through a
`pure` binding, which must not have side effects. An image drag always
fills `dragging`, so an empty payload with a remembered row is
unambiguously a rearrangement; the row is taken rather than read, or a
later empty drop would move a collection nobody touched.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d913e50948 Select photographs with a finger, and take a collection with you
Two things a tablet could not do. Both existed for a pointer and had no
touch form at all, which on Android meant the collection sidebar was
somewhere to look at rather than somewhere to file into.

**Selecting more than one.** Ctrl-click and shift-click are the only ways
into a multi-selection, and touch has neither. Holding a cell now enters
selection mode, where a tap toggles — reported to Rust as a ctrl-press, so
it goes through the same `apply_press` as everything else rather than
growing a second copy of the selection rules. A double tap takes the run
between where selecting began and there: the touch form of shift-click,
and the reason the anchor from *before* the double tap has to be
remembered, since both of its taps move the anchor onto the cell being
tapped. A "Select" button does the same thing where a gesture would go
undiscovered (FR-UI-4).

**Filing without a drag.** A one-finger drag beginning in the grid belongs
to the Flickable that scrolls it — that is the arbitration working, not a
bug to route around — so the selection can now be filed from a sheet
listing the sidebar's own rows. Copy by default, as the drag has always
been; moving out of the collection being shown is a switch, because it is
the one that takes something away.

**Taking a collection offline.** The machinery was there and reachable only
by scoping the grid to a collection and finding a button behind a
disclosure. Holding a collection's name now asks the question directly, and
the tray on a row and the header button ask the same one — three
affordances doing two different things is how a user comes to avoid all
three. The question is asked rather than a toggle flipped because both
answers are expensive: one downloads gigabytes, the other deletes them, and
the counts and sizes go in the buttons where they are read before the tap.

`Cache::release` is new and is the destructive half `unpin` deliberately is
not. "Remove the local copies" is asked by someone whose device is full,
and withdrawing a promise while leaving the bytes for a future eviction to
notice is not an answer to it. It unpins before forgetting, or the next pin
fetch would dutifully download everything it just deleted.

The sidebar's trays read `tier_actual`, never `tier_desired`: the question
is whether these will open on the aeroplane, and a pin whose download has
not run yet answers no.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 65e6a96a65 Say what the application is doing, in one bar and one list
Every background job reported into a window property of its own —
library-thumbs-done, library-pin-total, library-syncing — which only the
grid ever read. A pin download that outlived the view it was started from
drew nothing at all once the user opened an image, and there was no answer
anywhere to "what is this busy with", because the answer was spread across
eight properties nothing collected.

They report to one register now (ui/dr-ui/src/activity.rs). It publishes an
aggregate, which draws a three-pixel bar across the top of the shell in
every view, and a row per job, which the settings page lists: scans,
thumbnail batches, pin and open downloads, sidecar uploads, the sync and
the trash. Failures stay on the list until they are cleared; routine
successes do not, or a scroll would bury them.

The handle removes a still-running job when it drops, so a worker that dies
mid-transfer takes its row with it rather than leaving the bar sweeping for
the rest of the session.

Also carries in-flight work from a parallel session — the drawn icon set
and the dr-pipeline ops split. dr-pipeline's build script does not compile
at this commit; ui/dr-ui does, with clippy clean and its tests passing.

dtourolle 8ad5c86ff9 Add the library, collections, and trash views; theme from style.yaml
The UI gains the views the catalog work was building toward: a windowed
library grid with ratings and flags, the collection tree with drag-to-add,
and trash with restore. derived_sync pushes thumbnail shards and the catalog
snapshot to the server's derived folder.

Tokens now have one source of truth. build.rs reads style.yaml and generates
theme.slint into OUT_DIR, which answers every existing
`import { Theme } from "theme.slint"` unchanged, because Slint resolves
imports against the importing file's directory first and the include paths
after. Generating into OUT_DIR rather than beside the hand-written Slint is
the point: a generated file sitting in ui/ looks exactly like the files
around it that are meant to be edited, and an edit to it would survive until
the next touch of style.yaml — a bug that hides for weeks. build.rs fails
loudly if a stale ui/theme.slint exists, which would otherwise shadow the
generated one silently and make every palette change vanish with no error.

The palette moves to near-neutral dark with achromatic signalling, so the
accent means "modified" or "active" rather than "heading". Shared components
land in widgets.slint: a token that binds several values into one concept is
a component, not a row in a YAML file.

Adds an optional live-style feature that makes the tokens in-out so they can
be written at startup — a feature rather than the default because it stops
the properties being constant-folded.

serde_norway is the YAML crate: serde_yaml and serde_yml are both deprecated,
and its mappings preserve insertion order, which is what lets the generated
Slint keep the token ordering the author chose.
