dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 a1e361e35a Measure the native path against the one it replaces
Everything argued for this change so far was read out of a catalog
after the fact: crop_px across 18,671 faces the old code had already
stored. That is evidence about what the previous implementation did. It
is not evidence that the new one does better, and the difference matters
because a landmark left in the detector's coordinates, or a box filter
with an off-by-one in its source span, would both produce faces that
look entirely plausible until somebody counted the pixels behind them.

So examples/face_native.rs renders one file and indexes it twice, native
and from a 1024 proxy, changing nothing else. Fourteen originals from
the reference library, 5472x3648 CR2 and DNG:

    native      9 faces, mean crop 287px
    1024 proxy  5 faces, mean crop  75px

Crops 3.8x larger, and across the line that decides whether the crop is
photographed or interpolated: 75px is below ALIGNED_EDGE, so the proxy
path was upsampling into the embedder on average where this one
downsamples into it. Fourteen images and nine faces is enough to show a
direction and to catch a wrong scaling; §7b says so rather than quoting
the ratio as a library-wide figure.

It also corrects something §7b asserted two commits ago. I wrote that
detector input resolution cannot affect recall, because §4.1 letterboxes
everything to 640. Native found nine faces to the proxy's five,
including four on files where the proxy found none, so it plainly can.
The two paths differ in their resampling as well as their size, and this
experiment does not separate those, so §7b now records the result as
evidence for the double-resampling hypothesis rather than as its proof.
M4 still owns settling it.

The audit-summary test went stale when the ready/to-fetch split was
collapsed and is updated to assert the single number, including that the
old wording is gone.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 4af3b93dfa Index faces from the native render, not from a preview of it
Implements the FR-CULL-8 written two commits ago. The sweep fetched the
JPEG preview embedded in each RAW and used that one buffer for both
detection and the crop; it now fetches the original, renders it through
the same path export uses, reduces that for the detector, and warps the
crop back out of the native frame.

Three pieces, and each exists for a reason worth stating.

dr_face::Pixels lets the warp sample 8-bit RGBA directly. A 24 MP native
frame is 96 MB as RGBA and 288 MB converted to the f32 RGB align.rs was
written against, and the warp reads about forty thousand pixels out of
it. Converting the whole frame to sample 0.2% of it is NFR-RES-2's
budget spent on a copy, per image, for a whole library. The variant
costs one branch per sample and a test asserts both layouts produce
identical crops.

The detector gets a box-filtered reduction to 1600px, not the native
frame and not a point-sampled one. Averaging rather than sampling
because the detector's job is finding small faces and decimation is
precisely the operation that removes them: at 4x, fifteen of every
sixteen pixels are discarded and a 40px face survives or not depending
on where it falls relative to the sample grid. 1600 rather than 640
leaves the letterbox a mild 2.5x rather than a 9x, and bounds the f32
buffer at 20 MB.

Landmarks come back in the reduction's coordinates and are scaled to
native in one place before any crop pixel is read. This is the failure
mode that would not announce itself -- unscaled landmarks put every crop
near the top-left corner, which yields faces of something else, cleanly
embedded and confidently clustered.

The sweep fetches SWEEP_LANES-wide and renders sequentially. Not a
placeholder for a parallel version: there is one GPU, so concurrent
renders queue on it regardless, and each materialises a native frame.
Overlapping them would multiply the one allocation that threatens the
memory budget while buying parallelism that does not exist. The chunk
drops from 96 to 6 for the same reason -- 96 held 8 MB previews, this
holds whole RAWs.

The stored edit is deliberately not applied, which is where this departs
from export::render_from_library. Face geometry is normalised to the
frame, so indexing a cropped render would record boxes against a frame
that changes whenever the user changes their mind, and every stored box
would quietly become wrong. Orientation is applied: that is a fact about
the file rather than an edit.

examples/face_native.rs renders one file and indexes it both ways, so
the claim behind all of this can be checked against photographs rather
than re-read out of the catalog it came from.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 9ddc1273c0 Make a sweep that fails everything say so
A run over 169 images failed all 169, in fourteen seconds, and reported
"0 face(s) in 0 image(s)" -- the same sentence a run that indexed
nothing because there was nothing to index produces. Three separate
places dropped the information on its way to the screen.

The progress count only moved on success. FaceSweepMessage had no
failure variant at all, so a pass where every image failed sat at 0/169
from the first tick to the last: the receiver was told the total, told
nothing, and told the pass had ended. That is indistinguishable from a
hung job, and it is what it was taken for.

Finished already carried a failed count and identity_ui matched it with
`Finished { .. }`, throwing the number away and printing the tidy
success line regardless.

And the reason each image failed was logged at debug, which is off, so
169 consecutive failures left no trace of why anywhere.

Failed { images } now carries the count back per lane batch, the
progress counter advances on it, and both the running status line and
the finishing activity row say how many could not be read. A batch
rather than one message per image because failures come back lane-sized
and the useful number is how many.

Also renames the store sweep's guard to MIN_CROP_EDGE with the rest of
that constant's move, since the two touch the same lines.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 e7b526c550 Specify face indexing at native resolution, and say what the proxy cost
FR-CULL-8 said detection runs against the thumbnail or proxy tier and
never a full decode, and faces.md §5 said the aligned crop is sampled
from that same proxy. Both are wrong in the same place: they treat
detection and cropping as one resolution problem when they are two, with
opposite answers.

Detection does not care. §4.1 fixes the graph's input at 640x640 and
letterboxes whatever arrives, so a face filling 2% of the frame reaches
the model at 12px whether the buffer handed over is 1024px or 6000px.
Every pixel above the detector's own input is discarded before inference.

The crop cares about nothing else. §5's warp produces the fixed 112x112
ArcFace sees, so source resolution converts directly into whether those
112 pixels were photographed or interpolated. Reading crop_px across the
18,671 faces the proxy-tier implementation stored: 47.3% were upsampled
to reach the embedder, 314 of them by more than 2x, the smallest from 34
source pixels. An upsampled crop does not fail loudly -- it yields a
confident embedding of detail that was never there, and the damage
appears three stages later as clusters that will not separate.

So FR-CULL-8 now specifies four stages with the resolutions named
separately: render native through FR-EXP-9's pipeline, downscale for the
detector, map boxes and landmarks back to native, crop and align from
the native render. The affordability the old rule bought is met instead
by when the pass runs -- background, preempted, resumable -- and the
requirement says plainly what it now costs on a remote library: the
original rather than FR-NC-3's byte range, 412 GB across the reference
library's 19,107 images, so a whole-library pass is a transfer under
FR-NC-6 rather than something that may start on its own.

MIN_CROP_EDGE replaces the MIN_DETECT_EDGE this branch briefly had. Same
number, guarding the quantity that turned out to matter.

faces.md §7b records both measurements, and marks the second as
unexplained rather than dressing it as a finding. Grouped by the buffer
detection ran against, faces per image was 0.078 at 1024 or below and
1.82 at 2048 or better, controlled for file type and size. That gap is
real and reproducible and I cannot account for it, because the letterbox
above says detector input should not matter. M4 is where it gets
settled. The crop measurement does not depend on it.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 144d2e4e84 Revert the detection floor: it guards the wrong resolution
Reverts 53f7cdf and e92d22d. The floor those added sat on
Detector::detect, refusing any buffer under 1025px on the reasoning that
a small buffer finds no faces. That reasoning does not survive §4.1:
the detector letterboxes every input to 640x640, so a face occupying 2%
of the frame presents at 12px to the model whether it is handed a 1024px
buffer or a 6000px one. Detector input is precisely the quantity that
does not matter.

Worse than merely useless, it blocks the design FR-CULL-8 now specifies,
where the detector is deliberately fed a downscale and the crop is taken
from the native render. A guard on detect() rejects exactly that call.

What the measurement actually supports is a floor on the *crop* source,
which is where resolution converts into embedding quality, and which
faces.crop_px already records: 47% of the reference library's faces were
upsampled to reach 112x112. That floor is a separate change against the
native-resolution path and does not belong on the detector.

The 23x faces-per-image gap by source_edge that motivated the original
commit is kept in faces.md §7b, restated as the unexplained observation
it is rather than the causal claim it was written as. V12 stands: those
runs cropped at 1024 whatever detection did, and that is reason enough
to look at them again.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 41c655c176 Stop the local-store pass pretending it can still index
spawn_store_face_sweep detects on what the thumbnail store holds, and
the store's largest tier is FACE_TIER -- 1024, which the floor now
refuses. Left alone it would list every outstanding image, decode every
proxy it had, and report every single one as failed: twenty thousand
refusals all saying the same thing, with the real explanation buried at
debug level.

There is no repair available inside this pass. It has no larger tier to
read; the pixels the detector needs have to come off the server, which
is spawn_face_sweep's job and always was. So the honest behaviour is to
check the tier against the floor once, say plainly which pass to use
instead, and stop. It is only reached from examples/face_index.rs, so
this costs the tool its --run mode and no shipped behaviour.

FACE_TIER keeps its value and loses its meaning. It is now the tier a
stored crop is *cut from*, which 1024 is entirely adequate for -- the
face has already been located and the crop only has to be looked at --
and no longer the tier faces are *found* on, which is the thing that was
returning 0.078 faces per image.

IndexAudit's ready/awaiting_proxy split goes the same way. It existed
because one of the two passes could only do images that already had a
proxy; now that detection refuses that proxy's size, both halves cost
the same fetch, and a status line reading "169 ready to index" implies a
distinction that no longer decides anything. One number.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d0ebc9f571 Count the same images in the progress figure that the sweeps index
The Identity screen said 4,593 images were left to index and stayed
there for hours across repeated runs, which is what a stuck job looks
like. It was not stuck. 4,424 of those 4,593 are shadowed -- the JPEG
half of a RAW+JPEG pair -- and no sweep will ever index one, because
every work list is built on VISIBLE, which excludes them. They are not
separate photographs and the grid does not show them either.

But faces::coverage counted them: its denominator was "images WHERE
trashed_at IS NULL", with no shadowed_by clause. So the outstanding
figure had a floor of 4,424 that no amount of work could bring down, and
Coverage::is_complete could never once return true no matter how
completely the library had been indexed. A progress number that cannot
reach its own target is worse than no progress number.

The fix is to count the population the sweeps actually draw from, in all
three places that were describing it differently: coverage's denominator
and its indexed join, and audit's split of the outstanding set, which
had the same gap and fed the same status line.

On the reference library the denominator goes from 23,531 to 19,107 and
outstanding from 4,593 to 169 -- the second of which is a number the
user can watch go down, and which turns out to be a real and separate
fetch failure worth chasing.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 6783d0c723 Settle the images whose best preview is under the floor
The floor introduces a state the sweep had no arm for. An image whose
largest embedded preview is genuinely smaller than 1025px now comes back
from index_preview as an error, lands in the generic Err arm, and is
counted as failed -- which means no face_index row, which means it is
still outstanding, which means the next sweep fetches exactly the same
bytes and refuses them again. For ever, on every run, at one range
request each. The previous behaviour was wrong but at least terminated;
this would not.

So ProxyTooSmall gets its own arm, and it records a marker at the true
edge rather than nothing. That is the difference between "we looked and
found nothing" -- which would be a lie, since nothing was looked at --
and "this was examined at 900px, which is the best this file has". The
first is unrecoverable; the second is a fact source_edge was added to
carry, and a later floor or a bigger proxy can select on it deliberately
the way V12 just did.

Counted separately from failures all the way up, because they are not
failures and reading them as such would misdescribe a library of small
scans as a broken network. The summary line says how many and why.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0a6509de93 Forget the face runs made on proxies too small to see a face
The floor added in the previous commit stops this happening again; it
does nothing about the 1,824 images in the reference library that
already carry a face_index row written against a proxy of 1024 or less.
Those rows are why the damage is permanent rather than merely past. The
work list is "images with no row for this model", so an image examined
against a 1024px proxy -- 0.078 faces per image, nine in ten finding
nothing -- is indistinguishable from one examined properly, and no
later pass will ever offer it to the detector again.

V12 deletes exactly those markers, and nothing else. The faces those
runs did find stay in place and keep drawing the People screen until a
better pass replaces them, and record_detections re-attaches the user's
confirmed names across that replacement by box overlap, so a library
somebody has spent an evening naming does not lose that evening. The
cost is a re-fetch of the affected images.

Deleting the marker rather than teaching the work-list query to select
on source_edge, which was the other option and is worse. A standing
`source_edge < floor` predicate never lets go: an image whose largest
embedded preview is genuinely smaller than the floor would be re-fetched
on every sweep for ever, because the next pass cannot do any better than
the last one did. A one-off deletion gives each affected image exactly
one more attempt through the good path and then lets the ordinary
"has a row" rule settle it.

The threshold is written out in the SQL instead of referring to
dr_face::MIN_DETECT_EDGE. A migration has to keep meaning what it meant
when it ran; binding it to a constant someone may raise later would
quietly change what an old catalog gets migrated to.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 1d800d56b0 Refuse to detect faces on a proxy too small to find one
Detection was run on whatever proxy the caller happened to have. A
small one does not fail -- the image is letterboxed into the detector's
640px input at any size -- so it comes back with almost nothing, and the
caller then writes a face_index row saying the photograph was examined.
That row is the damage. Nothing distinguishes it from "examined
properly, no faces in this one", so the image is never looked at again.

The measurement, on the reference library of 23,531 images. Runs against
a 1024-edge proxy: 0.078 faces per image, 90% of them finding nothing at
all. Runs against 2048 or better: 1.82. To rule out the obvious
objection that small proxies just come from small photographs, the same
comparison restricted to DNGs -- 1,592 of them averaging 21 MB against
7,724 averaging 23 MB, so the same kind of file in the same library --
gives 0.078 against 1.82 again. Twenty-three fold, on identical source
material, identical weights, identical options.

So the floor goes in the detector rather than in either sweep, because
both of them, the example tool and any future job handler are equally
entitled to get this wrong, and there is one place that sees every
attempt.

It is 1025, not 1024, and the odd-looking number is the point: 1024 is
exactly ThumbSize::Large, the tier proxies are stored at and the tier
one of the two sweeps was detecting on. A floor that admitted 1024
would admit precisely the population this exists to exclude. Written as
a minimum rather than a maximum so the test at each call site is
`edge < MIN_DETECT_EDGE` with no boundary left to get wrong.

ProxyTooSmall is its own error variant rather than an empty result
because the caller has to tell it apart from a failure: nothing is
wrong with the image or the model, and the answer is to go and find
better pixels, not to retry these ones.

Two things are now off the launch path and the rest of it is unmeasured.
There is no way to attach a profiler to an Android launch, and the
window that matters — from `android_main` to the first `poll_events` —
is over before anything on the device can be asked a question about it.
So a line in the log file is the only measurement anybody gets.

Three of them: the GPU open, the window build, and the total to the
event loop. The last is the one that matters, because it is the figure
the input dispatcher is counting against — anything approaching five
seconds there is the next ANR whatever the phases above it say.

The GPU open is timed rather than moved. It is a Vulkan instance, an
adapter enumeration and a device request, and on the desktop it cannot
be deferred at all: it selects the Slint backend, and creating a window
selects one for us. On Android it could be, because nothing shares that
device with the compositor (TD-1) — but "could be deferred" is not
"costs enough to be worth deferring", and there is no number yet that
says which. This is the line that will produce one.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d48e9f6033 Open the catalog on a worker, so a launch is not a page-by-page read
The second thing standing between `android_main` and the first
`poll_events`, and the one that grows with the library rather than with
the APK.

`library_ui::open` called `show_catalog_now`, which called
`Catalog::open_verified`. That runs `PRAGMA quick_check`, which reads
every page of the database, and then `Catalog::open`, which takes a full
SQLite backup of the file before a migration and rewrites its structure
afterwards. On a 50,000-image library that is tens of megabytes of I/O
on a tablet's flash, and it happened before the window had painted
anything — so on Android it was counted against the five seconds the
input dispatcher allows, and on the desktop it was a launch that sat on
a blank window.

`dr_catalog::recovery`'s own module documentation says the check is
affordable "at startup, where a failure has a user in front of it who
can answer a question". That was the intent and it was not true: there
was no interface yet in which to ask. Now there is, because the open
happens on a worker and the answer arrives on a channel drained by a
timer — the same shape the scan, the thumbnails and the login already
use.

The gate the synchronous call provided is kept, and is the reason the
scan moved with it. `Catalog::open` succeeds on a damaged file whose
header survived, so a scan running beside an unanswered recovery
question writes ETags and image rows into damaged pages and turns a
catalog that had a backup into one where the backup is the only copy
left. So the scan now starts from the drain, on the two answers that
permit it, and not at all on `Corrupt`. `library-scanning` stays true
throughout, which hides the Rescan button and stops the gate being
merely advisory.

What the user sees while it runs is a third empty state. The grid
already refused to conflate "still scanning" with "scanned, found
nothing"; "opening the library" is a third answer and it gets its own
sentence, because a grid saying "Scanning…" while nothing is on the
network is the same kind of lie the other two were separated to avoid.

`show_catalog_now` stays, unchanged and blocking, for `recovery_ui`.
That call site has the event loop running, has just replaced the file
under a `forget_catalog`, and has `recovery-busy` on screen — the same
reasoning `recovery_ui::answer` already gives for doing its file copy in
place. The part both paths share is now `adopt_catalog`.

One consequence worth naming: the cache-usage figure on the settings
page was read at startup from a catalog that is no longer open by then.
It moves to the page's `on_open` closure, beside the face coverage,
which is read there for exactly the same reason — it is only ever looked
at while that page is on screen.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 1c5849ebe8 Unpack the bundled models on a worker, not on the way to the first frame
Launching v0.10.0 on the tablet produces an ANR: "Waited 5000ms for
MotionEvent", 5,827 ms on one input sequence, over a window that has
never painted. The app recovers and sits at 0% afterwards, so it is a
startup cost rather than a hang.

The structural fact behind it is that `android_main` runs with the
activity's input channel unserviced. Nothing drains it until Slint
reaches `poll_events`, and Slint does not reach `poll_events` until
`dr_ui::run` calls `window.run()` on its last line. Every millisecond
before that is a millisecond the input dispatcher waits on, so five
thousand of them is an ANR whatever the work happens to be.

The largest single piece of that work was here. `install_bundled_models`
copies 41 MB on the first launch after an install — 24.9 MB of scene
model, 13.6 MB of embedder, 2.5 MB of detector — each read whole out of
the APK into a `Vec` and written to `/data`, in a loop, on that thread.
v0.10.0 is the release that added the scene model, which is 60% of that
total, and it is the release the ANR appeared in. The 8,010 minor faults
in the report are about what 41 MB of freshly touched pages costs.

So it moves to a detached thread and the function returns as soon as the
thread is running. Nothing on the launch path wanted the result: the
only two things that read these files are the People screen and the
scene tab, both of which are reached by hand, minutes later, from
workers of their own.

What that costs is a window in which a model looks absent.
`library::face_models` and `library::scene_model` decide availability on
`is_file()`, so during the copy both report their feature unavailable —
which is the same answer they give a build shipping no weights at all,
the ordinary case both were written around. Briefly pessimistic rather
than wrong, and the temporary-name-then-rename that was already there is
what keeps it from being worse than that: a lookup never sees a
half-written file, only an absent one. Both call sites now say so.

A completion line reports the bytes copied and the milliseconds taken,
including when it is zero, so the second launch after an install can be
told from the first in a log rather than by inference.

The evidence was being gathered and spent immediately at one strictness
nobody could see or change. This makes it a control.

`MaskLayer::refine` is shaping, like the feather, and it lives on the layer
for the layer's reason: two layers may sit on the same category and want
different amounts of it, and the model ran once for both.

## What the segmentation now stores

`CategorySummary` keeps the **coarse** mask and the `Refinement` beside it,
rather than a refined mask. That is what gives the control an off position
that is bit-for-bit the model's own weighting, and what stops a strictness
change from needing the model again.

`category_mask_at` borrows at zero and wherever no refinement could be
fitted, so a layer nobody has touched costs nothing over the old path.

The fit moved to the far side of the orientation permutation. The verdict is
a per-pixel field over the same grid as the mask it gates, so fitting it
upright would mean permuting a proxy-sized buffer afterwards to match — a
second rotation, and a second chance to get one wrong. One logit cell is the
same number of pixels either way: the letterbox scales by the longer edge and
a permutation does not change which edge that is.

The two frames became a `Frames` struct rather than six parameters. This
function reads the picture twice for opposite purposes — the model needs it
upright or it recognises far less, the refinement needs the sensor's grid —
and a transposed pair produces a plausible mask over slightly the wrong
pixels, which is the failure this module is most prone to.

## It rebuilds the field, and the signature says so

`refine` is mixed into `subject_signature`. Unlike a feather, which is read
off a field that is already correct, this changes which pixels are in the
mask at all — so it changes the coverage the field is measured from. Omitting
it is the bug where the slider moves and nothing happens until some unrelated
control invalidates the cache.

That puts it in the same cost class as a close or an open, which is why the
row takes `SliderRow::changed` — already once-per-gesture, since that row
takes `SliderTrack`'s `committed` internally — rather than a live stream.

The slider is offered only where there is something to move: a category
source, *and* a refinement the frame actually gave enough to fit. A control
that moves and does nothing is worse than an absent one.

## Two defaults that are deliberately different

A layer added from the panel starts at 4.0, because a category's edges are
twenty proxy pixels wide before anything is done to them and a photographer
adding a sky mask wants the sky rather than the sky plus every chimney in it.

A layer read from a sidecar with no `refine` key starts at **zero**. A file
written before this control existed has to render as it did then, and a
default of 4 on absence would quietly re-grade every stored category mask in
the catalogue. `a_categorys_refine_strictness_survives_and_defaults_off`
holds both halves, and `an_out_of_range_refine_is_clamped` holds the file to
the scale — past the top of it every colour fails and the mask deletes
itself, which reads as lost work rather than as a bad file.

`MAX_REFINE` is dr-pipeline's own constant mirroring
`dr_segment::STRICTNESS_MAX`, following `Falloff` and `Morphology`: this
crate holds the description of an edit and must not depend on the crate that
runs a model. dr-ui is where the two meet, and the only place that converts.

Verified: fmt clean, clippy --workspace -D warnings clean, 488 dr-pipeline
and 60 dr-segment tests.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 f87bf6ebc0 Charge a colour mode for its rarity, and keep the verdict
The refinement worked and could not be controlled. Pruning modes below a
share threshold made the flag's removal a *discrete* event: below the line
its Mahalanobis distance was enormous and nothing rescued it, above the line
it sat at zero and nothing removed it. A control over that would appear dead
through most of its travel and then start eating sky.

So the prune is gone. A mode is charged `−ln(share × k)` nats, floored at
zero, and that cost enters both tests — doubled in the chi-square, which is a
squared distance, and directly in the log density. Rarity becomes a distance
rather than a threshold, and the things a photographer wants to remove
separate along it.

Measured on the synthetic frame the tests build: a flag holding 1.6% of the
sky is more than half gone by **2.95 nats** and a cloud bank holding a third
of it survives to **5.75**. The whole interval between them is somewhere a
control can sit. `the_flag_goes_before_the_cloud_does` pins the ordering,
which is the property that makes one slider worth offering at all.

Measured against an even split rather than against one, so raising
`clusters` describes a category more finely without making every colour in it
look rarer. Floored at zero so a dominant mode earns no *discount* — a
bonus there would let the commonest colour outvote a bad chi-square, which is
the one direction this must not bend.

`Refinement` holds the per-pixel verdict, quantised to a byte over ±16 nats —
an eighth of a nat per step, far finer than the narrowest transition the gate
can be asked for, and the same size as the coverage buffer it sits beside.
`apply` is then a smoothstep, and the model is never consulted again.

That is `distance.rs`'s arrangement deliberately: there a signed distance
field is computed once and feather, grow and shrink become arithmetic on it,
"which is what makes those live controls rather than ones that stall on every
drag". Same shape, different field.

The blur moved with it, from the gate to the verdict. Smoothing the evidence
rather than the decision means it is paid for once in `compute` instead of on
every frame of a drag, and it is the better thing to smooth in any case.

`apply` at `STRICTNESS_OFF` returns the weights untouched without reading the
verdict at all. A control whose off position is *very nearly* the unrefined
mask cannot answer "is this helping"; one whose off position is the unrefined
mask can. `strictness_zero_changes_nothing` holds it to that, and
`strictness_is_monotonic` holds the rest of the travel to only ever removing
more — a slider that gave weight back partway up would be one whose direction
nobody could predict.

The synthetic sky is smooth enough to sit on `VARIANCE_FLOOR`, where a real
one has noise and therefore a real spread, which moves every crossing down
together. The ordering survives that; the placement is a calibration. Which
is the honest argument for a control rather than a constant, and why the
default sits at half scale instead of at the flag's measured crossing.

The example sweeps the whole range and writes a frame per nat, because the
question a photographer asks of a slider is where to put it, and that needs
the travel rather than a point on it.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 4f4abd335f Cut a scene category back to the pixels that agree with it
A flag in the sky came out weighted as sky, and no feather setting fixed it.

The scene model's logits are `[1, 150, 80, 80]`, so one cell is eight input
pixels; at the 1600px proxy the letterbox scale is 0.4 and **one cell is 20
proxy pixels**, which `rasterise`'s bilinear then spreads across one more
either side. A flag is a handful of cells whose softmax is dominated by the
sky around it. The information was never in the grid, so nothing downstream
of the grid can recover it.

Tiling is the answer for an instance and is not available here: a category
has no bounding box to tile over — sky is wherever the sky is. But the
photograph is at full proxy resolution even though the weights are not, and
it knows exactly where the flag is. So the model says *what*, and the
pixels say *which of them*, which is the division of labour arm C already
draws between the instance model and the watershed.

## Seeds, and why the erosion radius is not a guess

Threshold the weights high, take `signed_distance`, and keep what is more
than 1.5 cells inside. One cell *is* the model's resolution and the bilinear
spreads it across one more, so the band either side of the boundary is smear
rather than evidence. Deriving the radius from `Scene::cell_pixels` rather
than picking a pixel count means it stays right if the proxy edge or the
export changes.

The mirror of that set is a confident *exterior*, free from the same field.

## Dropping small modes is the step that makes it work

Four k-means modes per side, not one Gaussian: sky is blue at the zenith,
white where the cloud is and pale at the horizon, and one blob over all
three rejects two of them.

Then modes holding under 3% of a side are discarded, and without that step
the whole thing fails on the case it was built for. A small flag deep in the
sky has both a high weight and a large distance from the boundary, so it
lands in the interior sample and teaches the model its own colour. It cannot
be excluded geometrically. It can be excluded by share.

Luminance is weighted at a quarter against chrominance for the same reason
the watershed's gradient is. Sky's variance is dominated by luminance, so at
equal weight the distribution is a long bright streak that a mid-grey flag
sits comfortably inside. A flag is separated by chrominance; a cloud is
separated by luminance alone. Not zero, or a dark bird against a bright sky
survives.

## Two tests, because either alone is wrong

Absolute — is this colour plausible under the category, as a chi-square on
the Mahalanobis distance. Comparative — is it likelier inside than outside.
A pixel must pass both.

The absolute test is what catches the flag, whose colour is far from *both*
sides and which the comparative test alone would leave at even odds. The
comparative test is what stops the absolute one needing a constant tuned per
category.

## What this cannot do, written down rather than left to be discovered

An intruder large enough to hold its own mode is kept. By share, a flag over
a fifth of the sky and a cloud bank over a fifth of the sky are the same
object, and colour does not separate them either — a white cloud is as far
from blue sky in chrominance as many intruders are.

So `min_cluster` is not a threshold with a correct value waiting to be
found; it is the trade-off itself, set where a photographic intruder falls.
Both ends are pinned by tests — `a_flag_in_the_sky_is_removed` and
`an_intruder_larger_than_min_cluster_survives` — so that moving the number
reads as moving the trade-off rather than as fixing a bug. The case left
open is a large unrecognised object in a clean category, which wants the
boundary snapped to watershed basins and is a different mechanism.

## Safe to apply without a control

It is subtractive: the output is the input times a factor in `0..=1`. The
worst failure available to it is losing part of a real sky, never gaining a
region, so a blue car below the horizon that was never in the mask cannot be
pulled into it. And a factor in `0..=1` cannot raise a sum, so `scene.rs`'s
partition still holds when every category is refined independently — the
weight taken off the flag lands in the unlisted remainder, which is where a
flag belongs, ADE20K having no class for one.

Every path without the evidence to judge returns the weights untouched and
says which path it took. A refinement that silently did nothing is
indistinguishable from the feature being off, and an empty seed set fitted
to a distribution would reject every pixel.

The signature is deliberately unchanged: categories are addressed by name,
not by index, so a sharper mask cannot create the stale-index hazard the
signature exists to guard against.

The example writes `<prefix>-<category>-refined.ppm` beside the coarse one,
never instead of it — whether this is an improvement is a comparative
judgement and one image cannot answer it.

alone. A merge commit does not run the pre-commit hook that would

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 bfdb6d5e4b Cut the People rail's portraits off the blocking path
Opening Identity cut a portrait for every person before the screen was
allowed to appear. Measured against the reference library: 3.6 seconds,
of which 3.2 is 931 full 1024px proxy decodes — the fallback for faces
indexed before crops were stored beside them. The rest of the wait was
the rail building 14,268 rows, fixed in the commit before this.

`refresh` now draws with the portraits already cached and hands the rest
to `fill_covers`, which cuts them 8ms at a time — under half a frame —
behind a screen that is already up. Blocking work on that path goes from
4,965ms to 16ms on this library.

A timer rather than a thread. The work is a catalog query and a decode
against a `ThumbStore`, and both handles live on the UI thread; a worker
would need its own connection to the same file, which is what the sweep
and the regrouping pass do because they run for minutes and would
otherwise be unbounded. This is seconds of small, independent pieces, so
slicing answers the same question more cheaply.

`pending` is in rail order, and the rail is sorted by confirmed faces, so
the portraits the user is looking at are cut first. It patches single
rows rather than reloading: a reload would rebuild the model on every
tick, and a model replaced underneath the `ListView` is what the slicing
exists to avoid. Each patch checks the row still holds the person it was
started for — a stale index would draw a face beside somebody else's
name — and stops the fill when it does not.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d7b851f622 Build the People rail rows you can see, not the ones you cannot
`Flickable { VerticalLayout { for ... } }` instantiates every row. On the
reference library that is 14,268 row subtrees, which measures at 4.2
seconds before a pixel is drawn — and it was paid again on every action,
because every action reloads the model. Roughly half the wait between
clicking "Identity" and the screen appearing was this.

Slint's compiler has a virtualising path for a `for`; it is what makes
`std-widgets`' `ListView` cheap. It keys on the parent element's base
being *named* `ListView` and exposing the five lengths its layouting code
writes back, and a custom base is explicitly allowed. So `widgets.slint`
grows one, and `std-widgets` stays out of the file that establishes our
style. Measured on the real screen: 200,000 rail rows now render in 62ms.

Three things had to be true together, and each was silent on its own.

**The row height must be constant.** The rail hid a set-aside person with
`height: cond ? 52px : 0px`, a height that reads the model — so the
layout cannot place row N without building rows 0..N, and Slint builds
them all. The filtering moves to Rust, where the toggle was already
reloading anyway.

**The list must not be wrapped.** It carries its own stretch and preferred
size, having no natural height to offer; a Rectangle in between hands the
layout that Rectangle's constraints, which are taken from the list and
are therefore nothing.

**The panel must let it fill.** `Panel` lays its children out with
`alignment: start`, which gives each its preferred height — right for a
column of sliders, wrong for anything that scrolls. Hence `Panel.fill`.

Get any of them wrong and the rail renders empty, with no error and a
model full of people. All three were, in turn, before a headless render
of the real screen showed a blank rail.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 f26f1ab694 Withhold the empty groups that fill the People rail
`load_people` returned every live person, and on the reference library
that was 14,268 rows of which 11,739 held no faces at all — 85 per cent
of the rail naming nobody and able to do nothing.

They are not a mystery. A regrouping pass creates a person per cluster;
the next pass moves those faces elsewhere and leaves the person it
emptied behind. `faces::prune_empty_unnamed` exists for exactly this and
runs only at the end of a pass, so nothing clears what accumulates
between them, and the Identity screen never prunes at all.

Each one cost a `for_person` query and a built row on every reload. This
withholds precisely the set the prune already treats as disposable —
empty, unnamed, not set aside — and no more.

Filtered rather than deleted: a screen is being drawn, not a catalog
repaired. Nothing is lost, a sync cannot resurrect what was never
removed, and the prune stays the one place that decides these can go.

An empty group with a *name* still shows. That one is not debris but the
symptom of a real failure — a named person whose faces were regrouped out
from under them — and hiding it would take away the only way to merge
them back.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 e8b072c815 Say the app is starting before there is anything to say it with
Nothing from our own code reached logcat on the tablet: 284 lines from
the app's PID during a launch, every one of them from Hwaps,
BlockMonitor, InputEventReceiver or nativeloader, and not even the
version banner android_main emits three statements in.

I could not find the fault in our wiring, and this commit does not claim
to fix it. What it does is make the next launch say which side is at
fault, and close a hole that is real whatever the answer turns out to be.

What reading rules out, so nobody repeats it: install does call
log::set_max_level. The Config carries an explicit tag and an explicit
max level, and its env_filter is None, so android_logger's enabled() and
filter_matches() both pass an Info record. Tee::enabled delegates to the
console and gates nothing else. set_boxed_logger cannot have failed —
its Err path drops the Tee, taking the LogFile with it, and the file on
the device has content. And Tee::log calls console.log() unconditionally
*before* the file write, which is itself gated on console.enabled(), so
every line that reached the file proves the AndroidLogger was handed the
same record. Nothing else in the graph installs a logger; android-activity
and Slint's backend do not. The diff that introduced this changed the
level, the tag and the Config not at all — init_once and set_boxed_logger
leave the same logger installed at the same level.

That leaves below __android_log_write, which no amount of reading this
file can reach.

So: the console logger is now built first, and one line goes through it
directly, before the state directory and before the log file. Two things
follow. Everything between android_main's first statement and install
returning — external_data_path, create_dir_all and an open on a FUSE
volume the system may still be mounting — currently has no surface at
all to fail on; that window is what logcat is for, and it now has a line
in it. And when the log is silent, that line separates the two cases:
present with the log::info! lines below it missing is the facade, absent
along with them is liblog not delivering this process's records.

It goes through Log::log rather than log::info!, which is not a style
choice: the facade's maximum level is Off until install sets it, so a
log::info! there compiles and emits nothing.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c62edd3317 Give the log a mode that the way off the device can open
The log file has been on external storage since it existed, and the
reason is stated at length in two places: /data/data/<pkg>/files needs
run-as against a debuggable build, /sdcard/Android/data/<pkg>/files is a
plain adb pull from any build, and a log nobody can retrieve is not a
diagnostic. The file was then opened 0600, which cancels that decision
out. On the tablet:

    adb pull      -> remote open failed: Permission denied
    adb shell cat -> Permission denied
    run-as        -> package not debuggable

Every route off the device closed at once, on a file whose whole purpose
is to leave the device.

The mode is now per platform, because "who may read this" has two
different answers and the directory above the file is what makes them
differ. On the desktop, 0600 as before: $XDG_STATE_HOME/darkroom is in a
home directory on a machine that may have other accounts, and nothing
about that directory stops another local user reading a world-readable
file. On Android, 0644: /sdcard/Android/data is drwxrws--x
media_rw:ext_data_rw, so no other app can enter this app's subdirectory
and anyone who can traverse it is holding the unlocked tablet, which
already gets them the photographs the log merely names. What the read
bits buy is adb pull, which runs as shell — able to traverse a --x
directory, but then obliged to open the file as other.

The mode is also applied twice, and the second one is the fix rather
than belt and braces. OpenOptions::mode is a request: the kernel ANDs it
with the process umask, and an Android application process inherits
0o077 from the zygote, so asking for 0644 there creates 0600 and reports
nothing. It is ignored outright on a file that already exists, which
every launch after the first has. fchmod is subject to neither, and is
what the second call makes.

The comment claiming the mode was "ignored by the FAT-derived filesystem
Android presents as external storage" is gone with it. The device says
otherwise: the file it produced was 0600 exactly.

Two tests. One pins the literal mode per platform — only the desktop arm
can run under cargo test, and the comment says so rather than implying
the Android number is covered. The other reopens a log left behind with
the wrong mode, which is the one assertion on the host that fails if the
fchmod is deleted, since OpenOptions::mode cannot touch a file that is
already there.

Three waves of work since 0.9.0.

Culling gained the two instruments FR-CULL-3 asked for and never had:
focus peaking, and a histogram that reads the sensor rather than the
frame about to be displayed. Bursts group themselves. Masks can cover a
whole category rather than one instance.

The catalog now notices when it has been damaged and offers a way back --
restore a backup, or rebuild from the photographs, which were never at
risk. A crash leaves a record. A log survives the process, on a path a
tablet will hand back to adb, which is what makes the Android work
debuggable at all.

The APK compiles its own Java for the first time, so the app can receive
a photograph from another application and hand one back. Memory pressure
is answered in a stated order. A lost library root is reported rather
than reported as an empty library.

There is a benchmark suite now, so §8's promise that a regression fails
the build is a mechanism rather than a sentence. Its first run says the
catalog opens in 70ms against a 2s budget, and that thumbnail throughput
does not obviously reach its target.

Coverage 59.8% -> 69.8%, and it means more than it did: five requirements
that were tagged on code that did not implement them are no longer, and
the tool no longer counts its own test fixtures.

Two branches implemented 'can this scope be reordered' independently:
one from the collections model, one from the catalog through

property app.slint declares.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 df06240b2d Test that the category geometry means what it says
The scene tests so far checked the descriptor and the arithmetic. Neither
would have noticed if `rasterise` put the sky along the bottom of the frame,
because both build their own weights and never ask where those weights land.

Three that do:

- **Weight stays on the side it came from.** Fill the top half of the grid,
  read the top and bottom quarters of the image. A flipped y axis is the
  mistake this code is actually prone to — it is a letterbox inverse, and the
  numbers stay perfectly plausible when it is wrong.
- **No transpose.** The vertical check alone passes under a transpose, which
  maps a top band onto a left band. A horizontal split is what distinguishes
  them, and neither test is worth much without the other.
- **Coverage is a fraction.** A quarter of the cells must read 0.25. The
  scene tab hides a category below half a percent, so an error of a factor of
  the grid size would hide everything or nothing — and both look like the
  model failing rather than the arithmetic.

`Scene::from_weights` is test-only and exists because the property under test
needs weights whose correct destination is known in advance, which no real
inference can provide. It uses a square window so the letterbox is the
identity: any offset these find is the mapping's own rather than the
padding's.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 86260b5028 Bind a category layer to its own distance field
A category mask showed nothing and its adjustment covered the whole
photograph. Both from one line: the loop in `MaskPass::rasterise` picks a
distance field by matching `layer.source`, that match named only `Subject`,
and a `Category` layer fell through to `_ => (&self.empty_subject, 0)` — a
1x1 placeholder. No field, so nothing to draw and nothing to confine the
adjustment.

The comment three lines above the arm I missed describes the failure I then
shipped:

    an absent mask that defaults to "everything" would apply the
    adjustment to the whole photograph

There are *two* matches on `layer.source` in that loop — one choosing the
field, one building the params. Adding the category to the second and not
the first compiles, runs, and is wrong in exactly the way the first one
warns about.

## Also: a missing mask must still be the right size

Both model-backed arms of `ensure_subject_fields` used `unwrap_or_default`,
which yields an empty `Vec` when the coverage is gone. `SubjectMasks::upload`
rejects a wrong-sized field and fails the whole batch, so `self.subjects`
becomes `None` and *every* layer in the stack loses its mask — one stale
reference silently unmasking the others.

Pre-existing, and it mattered less when the only model-backed source was a
subject: an instance index goes missing rarely. A category name goes missing
whenever the descriptor is edited, which is a thing the descriptor exists to
allow. A full-size empty field costs one layer instead of all of them.

Neither of these is reachable from a test on this machine — both live past a
GPU adapter and a real segmentation — so they surfaced the only way they
could, by someone opening the app and looking.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 677146883f Decide what the header gives up when it cannot hold everything
Three faults, all invisible in the source and all found by looking at
the window.

`alignment: start` on the selection bar. Slint only hands space to
`horizontal-stretch` children under the default `stretch` alignment;
under `start` every child takes its preferred width and the stretch is
ignored without complaint. That was harmless while the bar held four
controls. Now that it holds every selection verb it is the difference
between a count that gives way and a row that can only scroll, so the
alignment goes and the stretch does its job.

The title collapsed to "…". An eliding Text has a minimum of nothing,
so once the buttons had taken their own minimums the title was the
cheapest thing in the row to give away — the window stopped saying
which library was open while the byte counts beside it stayed. It gets
a 90px floor.

And the status line does not get one. After the sidebar takes its 232,
a 1100pt window leaves this header about 868, and the buttons want
most of that before a character is drawn — so something must degrade,
and the order is the whole question. A floor here bought a readable
status by pushing Settings off the right edge, reachable only by
knowing to flick-scroll, which is precisely the fault the row's own
Flickable comment warns about. A control you cannot see is worse than
a sentence you cannot finish. The status line is also the most
redundant thing in the header — the sidebar states the library's count
and the filter chips state it again — so it is what gives, and it
grows back the moment there is room.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 7f350e8c4c Offer the categories in the masks panel
Everything before this was reachable only from an example that writes PPMs.
This is the part a photographer can touch: a list under the subjects, click
one, get a mask layer for every pixel of that category.

## Under the subjects, and the order is the argument

Clicking the photograph is how a local adjustment usually starts, so the
things the model *found* come first. A category is the move you reach for
deliberately — grade the sky, not this one bird — and putting it second says
so without a word of explanation.

Coverage is shown for the same reason a subject's score is: it tells the
photographer whether a category is worth a click before they spend one
finding out.

## Not a new tab, which is what was asked for

A develop tab is derived from `Attribute`, not declared — the tabs exist
because operations claim an attribute, and no amount of Slint adds one. A
seventh attribute would have meant duplicating every adjustment once per
category, and the combinatorics get silly by the third.

Reached through masks instead, a category composes with every adjustment
that already exists, and inherits feather and falloff rather than needing
its own. What was described as "per-category sliders with feather and decay"
is exactly what this is; only the door is different.

## Verified as far as it can be here

Compiles, populates, round-trips, 560 dr-ui tests green. **Not clicked** —
synthetic input is blocked on this setup, so how it looks and feels is
unverified and wants a human at the window.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 763dfd353a Weigh the categories in the same precompute, and mask with them
The scene model shipped with a decoder and no caller. This runs it.

## Beside the instance pass, not instead of it

`compute` now does both on the same upright frame and lays both back down
the same way, so instance masks and category masks index into one grid —
the sensor's. A failure in the scene half is logged and dropped rather than
propagated: no scene model is an ordinary state, and a photograph that can
still be masked by subject should not become unopenable because the
categories are missing.

Categories under half a percent of the frame never reach the cache. A
control that does nothing when moved is worse than an absent one, and each
one it skips is a proxy-sized buffer not allocated.

## The shader needed nothing

A category reaches `dr-gpu` as a soft coverage buffer at proxy resolution,
turned into a distance field — which is exactly what a subject is. So they
share `MODE_SUBJECT`. That is not a shortcut taken for speed: the shader has
no way to tell them apart and no reason to want one. What differs is only
which model produced the coverage, and that has already happened by then.

Feather, falloff, dilation and erosion therefore work on a category on the
day it arrives, because they were never subject-specific.

## Where the weights come from

`scene-model` compiles the graph in and the desktop app takes it; Android
leaves it off and reads the copy `install_bundled_models` unpacks, because
24 MB of constant is worth avoiding in a mobile install and not worth the
plumbing to avoid on a desktop one. Embedded is tried first — a build that
has the weights compiled in should not be silently overridden by a stale
file in a data directory.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 485297f0c6 Let a mask cover a whole category, not just one instance
`MaskSource` could say "instance 3 of that segmentation run" but had no way
to say "the sky". Adding `Category { signature, name }` beside `Subject` is
what lets a local adjustment attach to a semantic category at all.

Stored as identity like a subject, and for the same reason: the coverage is
megabytes and is reproducible by running the same model over the same image,
so the sidecar carries what finds it again and the session carries pixels.

## A name rather than an index

An index would be smaller and would match `Subject`. It would also be a bug.
The grouping lives in `models/scene/categories.txt`, which is editable by
design — adding one category to it renumbers every category after it, and
every stored layer would silently start grading something else. A name that
no longer exists is simply not found and the layer reads as stale, which is
the failure that announces itself.

Staleness is otherwise identical to a subject's: the coverage buffer is in
the session, never the sidecar, so a signature from another run points at
pixels that were never computed.

## Two tests, and the second one caught a real shape

Round-tripping the name matters more than usual here, because the whole
argument for storing a name instead of an index is worthless if the sidecar
is what drops it.

The multi-word case is the one worth having: `category = swimming pool` is
written on one line, and a reader splitting on whitespace would have
truncated it to a category no model has — a layer that silently masks
nothing. `category` is also its own key rather than a reuse of `class`,
because a file conflating them would round-trip a subject into a category.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 b34e786f01 Give the drag a pick-up, so it stops losing to the scroll
Dragging a photograph out of the grid worked about half the time, and
nothing on the screen explained the other half.

`DragArea` and `Flickable` do arbitrate, but not evenly. The Flickable
claims any press that travels more than eight pixels along its own axis
within half a second of landing, and holds that claim until the finger
lifts. So a drag toward the sidebar only ever began two ways: a flick
sideways clean enough that the finger never wandered eight pixels
vertically, or a wait of half a second before moving at all. Both are
real gestures and neither was written down.

The wait is now the gesture, and it has a mark. The long press that
already turns on selection mode also picks the photograph up: a ring
opens around the cell and the grid stops scrolling under it, so from
that moment the drag is the only thing the finger can be doing. The cue
can only arrive after the ambiguity has passed, which is the right way
round — when the photograph lifts, dragging it works.

Two details worth naming. The hold is now armed even when selection mode
is already on; it used to be skipped there, on the grounds that there
was no mode left to switch on — but that is precisely the state a
forty-image drag starts from, so the one gesture that most needed a
pick-up was the one with none. And the ring is drawn after the cell
loop rather than on the cell: z-order inside a `for` is loop order, so a
cell grown past its bounds would stand over two neighbours and be cut
off by the other two.

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 f4fbabf18b Say what the grid is showing in one line, not four
The header carried four readouts beside the title: the image count,
the selection count, the scan's status and where in the library the
visible window sits. Each had `horizontal-stretch: 1`, which is what
actually lets a Text shrink in Slint — so between them they claimed
about a third of a 768px header and left the buttons to scroll off the
end of it.

The selection count goes to the bar at the foot of the grid, beside
the buttons that act on it. The other three are one subject and are
now one sentence with separators, sharing one stretch.

Two of them were also saying the same words while a sweep ran:
"indexing 300 / 12 480" appeared both as the status and, redundantly,
in place of the window position.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 18063152f9 Ask where these photographs go once, not twice
The selection bar had "Add to collection" and "New collection" side by
side. Both answer the same question — where do these go? — and the bar
asked it before showing the list that decides it: a user who wants a
collection they already have and a user who wants a new one press
different buttons before either has seen what exists.

"New collection…" moves into the filing sheet, under the list of
collections. That is where you look after failing to find the one you
wanted, and it is the only place the choice can be made informed.

It also fixes the sheet's empty state, which said "Make one with + in
the sidebar" — advice that cannot be followed on a tablet, where the
sidebar is instantiated but not drawn. The first collection can now be
made from the sheet that noticed there were none.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 745f3a98c7 Merge: measure the catalog, so §8's promise stops being a promise
There was no benchmark harness of any kind -- no benches/, no criterion,
no synthetic fixture -- while §8 promised a suite run per commit that
fails the build on regression. Ten performance requirements could be
neither passed nor failed.

tools/bench builds a deterministic 50,000-row catalog over a pool of
twelve generated JPEGs, about 14 MB, reproducible from a seed, with a
stamp so it rebuilds rather than silently comparing against a different
workload. It depends on nothing GPU or UI, which is what makes the CI job
affordable.

NFR-P1 and NFR-P3 are gated and tagged. NFR-P7, NFR-P8 and R2 are
measured but deliberately untagged: the export gate is one-sided, the
memory figure is the catalog layer's share rather than the whole, and
R2's first sentence is a 60 fps scroll a catalog benchmark cannot claim.

Every recorded value in the baseline is null. Nobody has run this on the
reference desktop, and a fabricated figure would make every later
comparison a comparison against a guess.

First run on this machine: catalog opens in 70 ms against a 2 s budget,
and thumbnail throughput measures 37 img/s against a target of 100 --
reported rather than asserted here, and the first evidence that the
target may not hold.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8510a2f6a7 Give the selection one bar instead of two ends of the window
"What can I do with these twelve photographs?" was answered in two
places. Six buttons in the header — Add to collection, Keywords,
Presets, Paste to N, Export N, Remove from collection — and four more
on the floating bar at the foot of the grid, beside the count that
says what they would act on.

The header half was the worse of the two. Those six appeared and
disappeared from the middle of the row as photographs were picked, so
Sync, Settings and everything beside them slid several hundred pixels
sideways at the exact moment a hand was already travelling toward one.
On a tablet the header scrolls sideways, so they were often not on
screen at all.

All six move to the bar. It now reads left to right as shaping the
selection — Clear, Select all, Select to… — then acting on it, with a
gap between the two thoughts. The header keeps only what belongs to
the library, and changes only when the library does.

Two consequences worth stating. The bar holds ten controls in the
worst case, so it scrolls sideways like every other row in this view,
for the reason set out on the header's Flickable: a layout given less
width than its children need overruns rather than shrinking, and the
buttons past the edge are simply gone. And the bar now stays up for a
running export whatever the selection has since become, because Cancel
export lived on a button that used to have its own `|| exporting`
escape hatch — the grid's viewport inset follows the same condition so
the last row of thumbnails is never trapped underneath.

`settings-summary` went with them: threaded from the window into the
grid and into HeaderActions, and never once drawn.

dtourolle 458025c607 Merge the scene model: a second, ADE20K-trained graph for per-category grades
Five commits. `models/` becomes one tree at the repository root so the
weight the application carries is a single `du -sh`; the export script
stops building its multi-gigabyte venv in RAM; `yolo26s-sem-ade20k`
joins the instance model rather than replacing it; the decoder turns its
logits into a partition of unity over eight photographic categories; and
four packaging routes put the file somewhere each platform can find it.

The instance model stays exactly where it was. A semantic model merges
every pixel of a class into one region, so it cannot separate two people,
and separating two people is what clicking a subject needs. The scene tab
grades whole categories and does not care. docs/segmentation.md §16.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 6974604e84 Merge: say what each control is, so a screen reader can use one
NFR-A11Y-2 went from five accessible-* declarations in the whole
interface -- all five on the colour mixer's swatch row -- to
seventy-three, on twelve shared components and four screens. The one that
mattered is SliderTrack: the most-used control in the application, until
now unnamed, and now carrying a label, a formatted readout and
increment/decrement/set-value, so it is adjustable rather than merely
readable. Fixing the shared components covered library.slint's
twenty-seven buttons and eleven chips without editing that file at all.

NFR-A11Y-1 is scaffolded and one screen of nine is converted -- 38 @tr()
calls, about a tenth of the interface's strings. Slint's translate()
returns the original when no bundle is active, so a converted string and
a literal behave identically today and each remaining screen is an
independent commit.

Two accessibility defects are recorded rather than fixed, as TD-6 and
TD-7 with measurements: ink-faint reaches 4.5:1 on no surface (3.97 at
best) and rule reaches 3:1 on none. Fixing either re-derives the palette
beside a photograph, which wants a screenshot and an opinion.

Verified: fmt, clippy -D warnings, 563 tests including a new integration
test that walks the markup and fails on an unnamed control.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8e4e24ad09 Say what the drag payload actually is: the arming, not the cargo
`drag-payload` was documented as "called when a drag starts, so it
always reflects the selection as it is at that moment". Neither half is
true, and the comment is the only reason anyone would believe the drop
reads it.

`DragArea` tests `data.is_empty()` in its event filter — on every
pointer event, the first one included, which arrives long before there
is a drag. And a Slint binding that calls a callback has no dependency
to be invalidated on, so it is evaluated once, when a finger first lands
on that cell, and cached for the life of the cell. What it answers is
therefore always an empty selection.

None of the drop handlers read it; every one of them reads `dragging`,
which `drag-started` fills in at the moment that matters. What this
callback does is keep the `DragArea` armed, and it manages that only
because `set_user_data` is called unconditionally — an empty `Vec` is
still user data. Guarding that call, which reads as an obvious tidy-up,
would silently stop the grid dragging at all.

Comments only.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 1a59fb33c1 Stop the press that starts a drag from deselecting what it grabbed
Dragging a selection of forty photographs onto a collection filed one.

Selection mode reports every press as a ctrl-press — deliberately, so
touch and pointer go through one set of rules rather than two — and ctrl
toggled. So the press that took hold of one of the forty took it *out*
of the selection on the way down. `drag-started` then looked at the cell
under the finger, found it unselected, and did exactly what it is meant
to do with an unselected cell: made it the whole selection and carried
it alone. The only sign was the grabbed cell's ring blinking out at the
moment the user began to move.

A plain press has never had this problem, because pressing an
already-selected cell has always been documented to leave the selection
alone — for precisely this reason. Ctrl now does the same: adding still
happens on the press, since the drag reads the selection immediately,
but *removing* is handed back as `Press::Deferred` and applied by the
click. Slint reports a click only for a press that stayed within
`tap-slop`, so a tap still toggles and a drag never does.

The unit tests now go through a `click` helper — a press and the release
that follows it — because that is the only thing a user can perform, and
calling `apply_press` alone would assert against half the policy.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 7312aceded Get the scene model onto the devices that need it
The decoder can load from a path; nothing yet put a file at one. Four
packaging routes, and one lookup that finds the result.

## Not `include_bytes!`, unlike the instance model

The instance model is 11 MB and compiled in, which was the right call for
it: Android hands the app no filesystem path (ARCH §6.9) and 11 MB is
tolerable. The scene model is 24 MB, and 35 MB of constants in the binary
is paid by every install whether or not the tab is ever opened.

So it follows `models/face/` instead — carried as an APK asset, unpacked
once at first launch into the shared directory a desktop install already
uses, after which every lookup finds it where it finds a desktop user's.
Assets are stored rather than deflated in the APK, so unpacking is a copy
rather than an inflate.

`embedded-scene-model` exists for the desktop build with nowhere else to
read from, and for tests wanting the real graph. Off by default, which is
the asymmetry with `embedded-model` and the reason for a separate
feature.

## Three files, all or none

`scene_model` insists on the graph, its vocabulary and the category
descriptor together, for the reason `face_models` insists on its pair: a
graph alone decodes to 150 anonymous channels. Reporting the set missing
beats starting and failing at the first inference.

## The two model sets are not the same kind of thing

`install_bundled_models` now carries both, and the distinction is worth
keeping in view. Face weights are absent from the repository *by design*
— the InsightFace grant is research-only (docs/faces.md §2) — so a build
carrying none is ordinary. The scene model is committed, so a build
carrying none means a checkout without `git lfs pull`.

Neither is fatal. A photo editor that refuses to start over a missing
grading feature is worse than one that starts without it, so both report
themselves unavailable exactly as face indexing already did.

The LFS-pointer guards apply to the `.onnx` only. The vocabulary and the
descriptor are legitimately a few kilobytes, and a size check that fails
on them would be a guard against the wrong thing.

`scene_model` is exported ahead of the tab that will consume it so the
packaging added here has something to be verified against — assets
written where no lookup looks would be a silent mistake for as long as
the tab took to arrive.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8df6000e4b Decode the scene model into per-category weights
The weights landed last commit with nothing to read them. This is the
decoder, and the shape of it follows from one property worth stating
before the code: the categories must partition the image.

## Why a partition, and not a mask per category

The scene tab applies one grade to every pixel of a category — lift the
sky, desaturate foliage — and both grades meet at the horizon. If each
category carried an independent mask, feathering them outward would make
the boundary band belong to both, so both grades would land there and
every horizon would acquire a visible seam. Feathering has to *blend*
there, not accumulate.

So `marginalise` takes one softmax over all 150 channels and sums within
each category. Grouping cannot change a total of one, so the listed
categories plus the unlisted remainder sum to one at every pixel, by
construction rather than by normalising afterwards. `parse_categories`
refuses a descriptor that claims a class twice, because that is the one
input that would quietly make the property untrue.

## The descriptor is data, and hand-written

`models/scene/categories.txt` groups ADE20K's 150 classes into the eight
a photographer would recognise. It is a file rather than a table in Rust
for the reason `models/LICENCE.md` predicted — a vocabulary is model
metadata — and it is line-oriented with comments rather than JSON like
the `.classes.json` beside it, because that file is generated and this
one is argued. Why `swimming pool` is water and not architecture belongs
next to the line that says so.

Classes are named, not indexed. An index is silently wrong after a
re-export; a name is loudly wrong, and the loader refuses one the model
does not have.

## Resolution, kept visible

`Scene` holds the native 80×80 logit grid and resamples on demand rather
than upsampling once at load. The coarseness is real — it is what the
graph produces — and a type that hides it behind an early resize invites
callers to expect detail that was never there. `rasterise` is where the
letterbox inverse lives, once.

`Letterbox` and `Window` become `pub(crate)` and `to_proto` generalises
to `to_grid`, because both dense outputs this crate reads are an even
fraction of the same letterboxed square and differ only in the divisor.

## Verified by looking, which is the only way this gets verified

`examples/scene.rs` writes the photograph dimmed outside each category. A
transposed axis or an off-by-one in the inverse produces perfectly
plausible weights over slightly the wrong pixels, and no unit test
catches that. On an indoor frame the person mask lands on the person,
including the outstretched arm, and sky reads ~5% against a bright
ceiling.

It doubles as the benchmark, because every timing quoted while this model
was chosen came off a laptop compiling other things and none of them
belong in a document.

dtourolle 465f5a7ffa Keep the log after the session that produced it
Everything this application knew about a failure went to stderr on the
desktop and to logcat on Android, and both are gone the moment the
terminal closes or the ring buffer wraps. That is fine when the person
debugging is sitting at the machine. It is useless for the case NFR-OPS-1
actually describes, and the one Android makes normal: somebody reproduces
a bug on a tablet, and then sends us a file.

A large amount of Android behaviour has never run on a device — image
intents read over JNI, an ExportProvider, a class loaded through the
activity's class loader, memory-pressure eviction, lost-root recovery —
and the single most likely failure of the lot, the activity's loader not
resolving our classes from android_main's thread, produces one line that
scrolls past. That line is now in a file, with the thread that emitted it
named beside it.

dr_plat::state answers "where does this platform keep state for this
app": $XDG_STATE_HOME/darkroom on Linux, and on Android whatever the
entry point declares. Separate from configuration and from the catalog
for the reason XDG separates them — state is the thing nobody backs up
and the user may delete without consequence.

dr_plat::diagnostics is the sink. Two files of 4 MiB, so the worst case
is a number rather than a discovery on a full phone; one line per write
with no BufWriter anywhere, because on Android processes are killed
rather than ended and a buffered log loses exactly the line it was kept
for; and redaction applied at the sink rather than at the call sites,
since a rule every author has to remember is not a rule. It tees the
platform's own logger rather than replacing it, so logcat is unchanged —
losing that while debugging would have made this a downgrade.

Android logs to external_data_path, not internal. Both are app-private
and both survive backgrounding; what separates them is that
/data/data/<pkg>/files needs run-as against a debuggable build to read
and /sdcard/Android/data/<pkg>/files is a plain adb pull from any build.
A log nobody can retrieve is not a diagnostic. The consequence is that
anyone holding the tablet can read it, which is why the redaction is
where it is, and why configuration stays on internal_data_path.

What is redacted is what NFR-SEC-2 and NFR-OPS-1 name: credentials and
tokens, found by the keyword that nearly always sits next to them, plus
the two forms that carry one with no keyword at all — an Authorization
scheme and a URL's userinfo. What is deliberately not redacted is
filesystem paths and the names of the user's photographs. They are in
neither requirement's list, and "failed to decode <redacted>" is not a
diagnostic; the preview-and-consent step NFR-OPS-1 asks for governs those
better than scrubbing would, because it lets the user look.

The over-redaction failure is tested as carefully as the under-redaction
one. A scrubber that eats "using basic sRGB as the fallback" makes a log
useless without ever being caught.

dtourolle e8e96eed40 Measure the performance targets §8 has been promising, and fail on a regression
docs/requirements.md §8 has said since it was written that performance is
verified by "an automated benchmark suite against a synthetic 50k catalog, run
per-commit … A regression beyond stated tolerance fails the build." There was
none. No benches/, no [[bench]], no criterion, no synthetic catalog, and three
CI workflows that between them measured nothing. Ten performance requirements
could therefore be neither passed nor failed, and five of them carried a
TRACES: tag regardless.

tools/bench is the half of that promise that can be kept honestly on a runner
with no GPU and no display.

# The fixture

Rows are cheap and pixels are not, so it builds fifty thousand catalog rows
over a pool of a dozen real files, each referenced by several thousand of them.
Everything the catalog half touches is rows and is exact at full scale;
everything the pixel half touches is one file at a time and does not care how
many rows point at it. Fourteen megabytes on disk instead of two terabytes, and
neither half is flattered by the trade. It is reproducible from a seed, and a
stamp beside it — seed, row count, source size, dr-catalog's schema version —
rebuilds it rather than letting a run be compared against a baseline that
describes a different library.

# What it can now pass or fail

NFR-P1, and R2's second sentence with it: Catalog::open plus the count, first
window and timeline the grid cannot paint without. The interesting part turned
out to be the open itself — schema::backfill runs three passes over the images
table on every open, which is O(library) work on a path whose budget is stated
in absolute seconds. Tagged TRACES: NFR-P1, on a gate that fails if it breaks.

NFR-P3: thumbnail throughput on the embedded preview path, through the same
per-image work spawn_thumbnail_sweep does and in the same shape — chunks of 96,
lanes owning disjoint slices, the single thread that owns the store writing the
finished chunk. Mirrored rather than called, because that function takes a
RemoteBackend and would measure somebody's network. Tagged TRACES: NFR-P3.

# What it deliberately does not claim

NFR-P7 is the whole chain, and only the encode half of it runs without an
adapter. So the export row is a one-sided gate — over two seconds in the encode
alone violates the requirement; under it proves nothing — and there is no
TRACES: NFR-P7 anywhere. NFR-P8 is about the application at idle, and the probe
is a process holding the catalog and nothing else, so it records the catalog
layer's share and carries no budget until somebody decides what that share
should be. No tag there either. CONTRIBUTING.md asks that a requirement be
closed by a test that would fail if the behaviour were removed, and two more
plumbing tags is what this repository already has too many of.

NFR-P8 also gets the answer §4.1 demands: RSS is exclusive of device-local GPU
allocations and cannot be made otherwise, because such an allocation never
enters the process's address space. The requirement should be restated as two
figures, and docs/benchmarks.md says so.

# Two gates, and why one of them steps aside off the reference desktop

The budget is the requirement's own number and never moves. The baseline is
what the reference desktop last measured, and drifting 15% past it fails the
build even while still inside the budget — which is how performance rot
actually arrives, never over the line, always a little worse.

A budget written for twenty-four threads cannot be asserted on a two-core
container. §8 names the reference desktop, not CI, so each metric declares
whether its budget is machine-sensitive; those are asserted under --reference
and reported everywhere else. Catalog open is not one of them: two seconds
against an expected figure two orders of magnitude smaller is a threshold any
machine can be held to. This is the trap core/dr-gpu/tests/frame_budget.rs
already refuses — a red gate everybody learns to ignore.

# The baseline ships with no numbers in it

Every recorded field is null, because nobody has run it yet. Writing
plausible-looking figures would make every later comparison a comparison
against a guess, and the first real regression would be invisible. Run
`dr-bench record --reference` on the reference desktop and commit the diff;
until then the budget gate works and the report says the other one cannot.

# CI

.gitea/workflows/benchmark.yml, and its own workflow rather than a step in
build-and-test.yml: a red "Build and test" says the code is wrong, a red
"Benchmarks" says it got slower, and the second must not be reachable by
retrying a flaky compile. The cpu job runs on every push and builds -p dr-bench
alone — which is why that crate depends on no GPU and no UI crate. The gpu job
is the frame budget that already exists and already skips without an adapter,
on workflow_dispatch, because building wgpu on every commit to rediscover that
the runner has no device is not a use of anybody's minutes.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 1ff52102b6 Drop the anchor bookkeeping the double tap took with it
`previous_anchor` existed for one gesture: a double tap in selection
mode took the range from where selecting began, and both taps had
already moved the anchor onto the cell being tapped, so the origin the
user meant had to be remembered separately.

That gesture is gone — "Select to…" says what it is about to do instead
of hiding a forty-image range behind a thing a hand does by accident —
and what is left is a field that four places write, `PressUndo` carries,
`cancel_press` restores, and nothing at all reads. `apply_press` is
`select_row`'s only call now that there is no anchor to remember, so the
wrapper goes with it.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8848bbcff3 Stop drawing a hover ring on a device that cannot hover
A cell drew a 1px ring while the pointer was over it, in the same colour
as the 2px ring that means "selected". On a tablet there is no pointer,
and `has-hover` is not the harmless no-op that implies: Slint raises it
on a touch press and lowers it on the `Exit` that normally follows the
release — but the release that ends a pinch carries no `Exit` at all,
and neither does a finger lifting while a second one is still down.

So resizing the thumbnails, which is a pinch, left a ring around
whichever cell each finger had come down on. The grid then showed boxes
around photographs that were not selected, a pixel thinner than the ones
that were, with nothing to tell them apart.

Hover chrome has no meaning once there has been a finger, so it is not
drawn: the same `touched` latch the rating strip already keys off.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 35954dfa1d Write a panic down where it can still be read, with nothing in it that names the user
NFR-OPS-2 is two sentences — local crash capture always, upload only on
explicit opt-in — and what existed was one `log::error!` in the Android entry
point and nothing at all on desktop. So a panic on desktop went to stderr and
died with the terminal, and a panic on Android went to a logcat ring buffer
that is gone long before anyone reports anything. What the user saw either way
was a job that stopped or a control that went dead, with nothing to send.

That matters more here than it would in most applications, because
NFR-ARCH-4 says no worker error may panic the process and the code is written
that way: errors are typed and attached to the image or job they belong to. A
panic is therefore by construction a bug — an invariant this codebase believed
and got wrong — and it was the one class of failure with no trace.

`dr_plat::crash` writes a record to the XDG state directory: version, time,
os, arch, thread, panic location, message, backtrace. In dr-plat rather than
in either entry point because "where does this platform let an application
keep state" is a platform question, and Android's answer is neither XDG nor
`temp_dir` — `set_state_dir` takes it from `internal_data_path`, the same
place `dr_sync::account::set_data_dir` gets its answer. The hook resolves the
directory when it fires rather than when it is installed, which is what lets
it go in before everything else and cover the startup it would otherwise miss.

**The content rule is the substance of this, not the plumbing.** NFR-SEC-2
forbids credentials in logs and plain files; the same reasoning applies with
more force to what this application is actually about, because a user's
library is private and so is its shape. `/home/anna/Photos/2019 Divorce/` says
something about a person, and a crash record is exactly the file someone
attaches to a bug report while trying to be helpful. So `redact` runs over the
message *and* the backtrace, and is deliberately blunt: anything containing a
slash goes, `content://` and `primary:DCIM/...` included, since SAF names a
library just as precisely as a path does; anything beside a word like
`password` goes; a long opaque run with letters and digits in it goes, which
is the shape of an app password nobody labelled. The one exception is a `.rs`
path, which keeps its basename — a backtrace with no filenames is close to
useless and `library.rs:1270` says nothing about anybody.

Over-redaction costs legibility. Under-redaction costs a user something they
cannot take back. Those are not comparable, so the boundary is not the place
to be clever.

NFR-SEC-5 — face data never in a crash report, under any configuration — is
met structurally rather than by filtering: this module reads no catalog, opens
no image, touches no account. A record is assembled from the panic hook's own
arguments and `std::env::consts`, and there is no code path from here to an
embedding. The message length cap is the backstop for a payload some other
module formatted something large into.

stderr is the one surface that still sees the message unredacted, deliberately:
the previous hook is chained rather than replaced, so a developer watching a
terminal does not lose the panic because the application started writing files.
It is ephemeral, local, and never attached to a report.

**No upload path, and not half of one** — no endpoint, no queue, no "send this
later" flag. Opt-in upload needs a server to receive it and a consent flow
stating what leaves the device (NFR-SEC-4, and the preview-and-consent step
NFR-OPS-1 requires of the diagnostics bundle). Neither exists, and a transport
built ahead of its consent is the shape of thing that later gets switched on
by default.

Leaves NFR-OPS-1 cheaper by three things it will want unchanged: `state_dir`
(the log belongs at `state_dir()/log` beside `crash/`, so the diagnostics
bundle has one directory to collect), `redact` (NFR-OPS-1's "automatic
redaction of credentials and tokens" is this function), and `prune` (a
size-capped rotation is this, counting bytes instead of files).

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8eeb9ba0f6 Offer the backup, and then the rebuild, when the index turns out to be damaged
NFR-R6 asks for an integrity check at startup and two offers behind it, and
none of it existed. `PRAGMA integrity_check` appeared nowhere in the tree,
`Catalog::open` was `open` → `configure` → `migrate` → `backfill` and nothing
else, and corruption therefore surfaced as whatever rusqlite error the first
unlucky query happened to produce — "database disk image is malformed"
attached to a thumbnail refresh, elided into a 34px banner, over an empty
grid saying "No images found · Check the library folder". Two messages that
disagreed, and no way forward but deleting catalog.sqlite by hand.

The property that makes the second offer real was already here and load-
bearing: the catalog is an index, not a source of truth, rebuildable from
sources plus sidecars (invariant §5.2.4, cited by schema.rs, trash.rs and
lib.rs). And sync.rs already knew how to take a coherent snapshot of a WAL
database. What was missing was the check, the type, and the conversation.

Four pieces:

**The type.** `CatalogError::Corrupt`, and — the part that makes it worth
having — a hand-written `From<rusqlite::Error>` that classifies rather than
wraps. `SQLITE_CORRUPT` and `SQLITE_NOTADB` become `Corrupt` wherever they
arise, so a background job that trips over the damage first reports the same
thing the startup check would have. `SQLITE_IOERR` and `SQLITE_BUSY`
deliberately do not: a dropped network mount is a different problem, and
telling someone to rebuild their index would be a wrong answer delivered
confidently.

**The check.** `Catalog::open_verified`, `quick_check` before the open rather
than after, because opening runs migrations and a damaged catalog with an
intact header would otherwise have structure rewritten on top of structure
that is already wrong. Bound to `open_verified` and not to `open`: the check
reads every page, which is affordable once at startup where a user can answer
a question, and not affordable on the dozens of opens a session's background
tasks make.

**The backup.** NFR-R2's second clause, taken between `configure` and
`migrate` in `Catalog::open`. A migration is the one routine operation that
rewrites table structure, so it is the likeliest way this file becomes
unreadable, and it is the last moment the pre-migration state exists to be
copied. Three generations, through SQLite's backup API after a TRUNCATE
checkpoint — never `fs::copy`, which on a WAL database backs up a state older
than the catalog and possibly torn. A failure to take the copy is logged, not
raised: a full disk must not be what makes a library unopenable.

**The conversation.** The first line of the dialogue is that the photographs
and the edits are safe, before the diagnosis, because that is the question the
user is actually asking. Then the two offers, which are *not* interchangeable
and are not presented as if they were: a restore keeps collections, and a
rebuild cannot, because a manual collection is a set of images assembled by
hand and nothing in the filesystem records it (docs/catalog.md §8.1). The
labels say so, and the rebuild does not take the affirmative styling while a
restore is on the table.

One thing that is a fix rather than a feature: `show_catalog_now` now gates
the scan. `Catalog::open` succeeds on a file whose header survived, so the
scan that used to start immediately afterwards would write folder ETags and
image rows into damaged pages in the seconds while the user was still reading
the question — turning a file that had a backup into one where the backup is
the only copy left.

Restore also deletes the damaged catalog's `-wal` and `-shm`. That step is
easy to leave out and fatal to leave out: a journal belonging to the old file,
sitting beside the new one under the same name, is replayed into it on the
next open. That is not a restore, it is a fresh corruption with the evidence
gone.

Tested by corrupting a fixture catalog — 500 images and a collection, then
every page past the second overwritten — and driving both branches. The
restore is asserted on the collection, because a collection is precisely what
distinguishes the two paths; the rebuild on the damaged file being kept and
the next open producing an empty catalog at the current schema. Plus the
`SQLITE_NOTADB` presentation, a damaged backup being refused rather than
installed, and a v1 catalog whose pre-migration backup comes back reading
v1 rather than v11.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 677b047235 Merge: stop the matrix counting the tool's own test fixtures as coverage
A tag was any line containing the string, so the traceability tool scanned
tools/ -- its own source -- and its test fixtures became coverage. R1 and
NFR-OPS-1 were tagged on nothing but that. Four requirements had sites that
were never implementations: the same fixtures also fed FR-CAT-1, FR-CAT-2
and NFR-P1, gestures.rs fed FR-UI-4 from a push_str, and build.rs fed
FR-DEV-3a and FR-DEV-3c from the tag it emits into generated code.

A tag is now a comment whose first word is TRACES:. Excluding cfg(test)
was rejected because tags on tests are this project's recommended
practice, and keying on string literals was impossible because schema.rs
carries six genuine tags inside Rust strings -- the SQL it embeds is
commented with --.

Four tags removed as unearned: FR-CAT-13 (no XMP is parsed or written
anywhere), FR-PLAT-AND-1 (SourceRef::Document is constructed only in test
modules, and the second tag sat on imports_supported, which documents the
absence). Two added as earned: NFR-A11Y-3, which was built and untagged,
and FR-PLG-8's preservation clause.

Four requirements amended rather than built, each with its reasoning: R5's
tiling clauses struck, NFR-P11 naming the state that must survive,
FR-RAW-2's mechanism reworded to bytes-in, FR-EXP-1's AVIF and JPEG XL
stated as post-v1.

Coverage falls 122 to 120 of 179, and means more than it did.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 53b04dc561 Let the accessibility test see a callback that takes an argument
`sets()` recognised `name:` and `name =>` and not `name(arg) =>`, which is how
Slint writes a callback handler with a parameter. There is exactly one of those
among the properties asserted — `accessible-action-set-value`, the action a
screen reader uses to type a number into a slider — so the test reported
`SliderTrack` as missing the action it declares four lines above.

A false alarm rather than a false pass, and the less dangerous of the two. It
is still worth fixing rather than dropping the assertion: set-value is the
action that makes a slider reachable without dragging, which is most of what
the actions were added for.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 bddd30fba2 Measure the chrome's contrast, and say why font scaling is not a multiplier
NFR-A11Y-2 has three clauses and this branch closes one of them. The other two
— WCAG AA contrast on non-canvas UI, and platform font scaling honoured
without clipping — are now measured and reasoned about rather than left as two
sentences in the requirements register that nobody had checked.

Contrast is measured, not estimated. Every ink against every surface it is
drawn on, by the WCAG 2 formula, and the result is narrower and more specific
than "the palette is dark": `ink` and `warn-ink` pass everywhere, the inverted
cases on the near-white fills are the best-contrasting text in the application
at 18.6, and exactly two tokens fail. `ink-faint` reaches 4.5:1 on no surface
at all — 3.97 at its best — and it is the ink for every caption, every section
name and every count. `rule` reaches 3:1 on none either, and it is the border
of every button, field and panel, so an unfilled secondary button is a 1.4:1
outline on a 1.2:1 ground.

Neither is an oversight, which is why they belong here rather than in a bug
list. They fall out of the palette's own argument: a bright surround biases how
a photograph is judged and hue is banned outright, so all the signalling is
luminance and the luminance is deliberately spent on the image. "Text you are
meant to skip" and "text everyone can read" are in real tension. The fix is a
re-derived ink scale and a stronger rule, both of which change how the
application looks beside a photograph — a screenshot and an opinion, not a
patch, and not something to do blind.

Font scaling is the more interesting entry because the obvious fix is wrong. It
is not a multiplier on the type sizes: the layout rests on constants that are
not derived from them — control-height, touch-target, rail-entry-height,
panel-width, and a dozen fixed heights written at their call sites — and
scaling the type alone clips against every one, silently, because Slint elides
rather than errors. The colour mixer is the sharpest case, thirty-six controls
in a 360px column sized so a track and a swatch and a readout share a line.

So the entry sets out the four pieces in dependency order, and notes that the
first is nearly built already: `live-style` makes `build.rs` emit `in-out`
theme tokens that Rust writes at startup, which is exactly the mechanism a
scale factor needs.

Both entries carry the falsifiable condition this document asks for, and the
contrast table is the baseline a later measurement compares against.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 46706fe622 Let the tool rail be pressed, not only read
The rail is the develop view's primary navigation and reached the platform as
four pieces of static text. The labels got through — a `Text` announces itself
— so a screen reader could read "Photo, Crop, Local, Repair" and had no way to
learn that any of them could be pressed, or which one was currently held. The
one control that decides what a click on the photograph does was a caption.

Each entry now declares itself a checkable button carrying the tool's own
word, with the held state reported rather than left to the fill. Checkable is
unconditional here, unlike `Button`'s: a rail entry is always a held-or-not
state, so an unheld one should say "not pressed" rather than pass for an
ordinary button.

The action repeats the click handler's expression rather than calling it. A
`TouchArea`'s `clicked` is raised by the pointer and cannot be raised from a
binding, so the alternative is a function wrapping two lines — and the
duplicated ternary sits four lines below the original where the two cannot
drift out of sight of each other.

Worth recording for the next control like this: `accessible-*` on an element
inside a `for` does work, despite the accessibility pass skipping repeated
elements. `process_repeater_components` runs first and moves the bindings into
a real component whose root is not repeated; what the later pass skips is the
empty placeholder left behind.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 80298403f7 Name the launch screen's entries, and let its folder rows be pressed
A heading above a text field names it on screen and names nothing to the
platform: Slint associates the two only if something says so, and nothing did.
So the four entries a user signs in through — server, username, app password,
folder — reached AT-SPI as unnamed boxes with a separate piece of static text
floating above each. The word is now written twice, deliberately, and the
second copy is the one attached to the control being typed into.

FolderRow is the more consequential half. It is a Rectangle with a TouchArea
over it, which is a button to the user and a decorated box to the platform —
its label got through, because the `Value` inside is a Text, while the fact
that the row could be entered at all did not. The folder picker was therefore
readable and not navigable, which for the screen that chooses where the whole
library lives is the difference between using the application and not.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 7409cb7767 Make the launch screen translatable, and say how the rest follows
`@tr(` appeared zero times in 14,482 lines of markup. Every string the user
reads was a literal, so NFR-A11Y-1 was not partly done or done badly — there
was nothing to extract and nothing a translator could have been given.

The mechanism turns out to cost almost nothing, and the reason is worth
stating because it decides the order of the work: a string written `@tr("Sign
in")` is already correct in a build with no translation at all. Slint's
`translate()` formats the original and hands it back when neither delivery
path is active, so a converted string and a literal are the same string until
someone writes a `.po`. That means the interface can be converted a screen at
a time rather than in one 14,000-line commit that nobody can review, and every
intermediate state is shippable.

So the delivery half is wired and left inert. `build.rs` asks for bundled
translations only once `lang/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/dr-ui.po` exists — the first
catalogue anyone commits turns it on with no build-system change, and until
then a checkout with no `lang/` builds exactly as it did. Bundling rather than
the `gettext` feature because of Android: under ARCH §6.9's storage model
there is no path a `.mo` could sit at that the app can reach, and no C library
to link it against. The extraction command and the one flag that must not be
passed to it are recorded in the module docs.

The launch screen is converted whole: 32 calls covering every heading, button,
caption and placeholder. It goes first because it is the screen a user cannot
get past — an unreadable preferences page can be ignored, an unreadable sign-in
cannot. Four kinds of literal are deliberately left alone and the file says
which: the product name, example values whose shape is the message, `..`, and
the path separator.

Two things this leaves open, recorded rather than papered over. The headings
carry their own capitals, because `PanelHeading` draws what it is handed — so
a translator supplies "SERVEUR", not "Serveur", and styling in the string is a
real cost now paid rather than a surprise later. And `@tr()` is markup only:
the operation and parameter labels NFR-A11Y-1 names explicitly resolve in
`labels.rs`, in Rust, because the core may not depend on a localisation
library — those need a second mechanism, and it is not built.

The module doc said an extractor keyed on string literals would "lose six
genuine tags to save two false ones". The six is right — `schema.rs` carries
that many `-- TRACES:` lines inside Rust literals — but the two undercounted
the false ones, which were R1 twice, FR-CAT-1 twice, FR-CAT-2, NFR-P1, one in
`gestures.rs` and two emitted by `dr-pipeline/build.rs`. The comparison it was
drawing does not need a number on that side to hold.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 f1b0634bd1 Stop calling NFR-COMPAT-2 unstated in the paragraph after citing what states it
outstanding.md §5 said NFR-COMPAT-2's v1 distribution channels were "Unstated"
immediately after the FR-PLAT-LIN-3 paragraph above it cites
docs/distribution.md — a document whose own header says it satisfies
NFR-COMPAT-2 and whose §1 is a table of five channels with the state of each.

The requirement asks that the channels be stated. They are: Arch source package
and Flatpak in tree, AppImage a v1 channel with no recipe yet, F-Droid a v1
channel not yet submitted, and Play deliberately not v1. The deferral is part
of the statement, not a gap in it.

What is genuinely open is the coupling the requirement exists to flag — whether
Play makes ARCH §6.9 binding — which distribution.md §6 argues runs the other
way for this project, and which spike S11 has not been run to confirm. That,
plus two channels that are decisions rather than recipes, is what the entry now
says.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8865743db6 Split FR-EXP-1, so its tag stops standing for a deferral as well
FR-EXP-1 listed four things in one sentence: JPEG, PNG, TIFF at both depths,
and AVIF or JPEG XL. Three of them are built, encode, embed an ICC profile, and
are covered by tests that walk every offered format. The fourth is a deliberate
deferral — `export` returns `FormatUnsupported` for AVIF and JPEG XL, and
`the_formats_without_an_encoder_say_so` pins that behaviour in place.

Fused, the requirement could only be tagged dishonestly or not at all, and not
at all is worse: it would delete the register's record of the part that is
finished, which is most of it.

So the v1 scope is now JPEG, PNG and TIFF with the configurability clause, and
AVIF and JPEG XL are stated as post-v1 with the condition that already holds —
either may appear in the settings page before its encoder does, provided
choosing it fails with a typed error naming the format rather than producing a
file. That is what `every_offered_format_either_encodes_or_explains_itself`
exists to guarantee, and it is why a format cannot be added to the picker and
quietly reach an encoder that does not handle it.

No intent is dropped. AVIF and JPEG XL remain wanted; they are now scheduled
rather than silently outstanding.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8e4befa727 Say what each control is, so a screen reader can use one
The whole interface carried five accessible-* declarations in 14,482 lines of
markup, all of them on a single row of the colour mixer, and nothing said so.
Every other control — every button, every tick-box, every chip, and the slider
the develop panel builds thirty-six of for the mixer alone — reached AT-SPI
and TalkBack as an unnamed rectangle. NFR-A11Y-2 is not a polish item for a
user in that position; it is whether the application can be used at all.

The annotations go on the shared components rather than on the screens, which
is the same argument widgets.slint was written to make one layer down: a
control named where it is used is a control unnamed everywhere it is used
next. Twelve components now declare a role, a name and — where the control
does something — the action assistive technology invokes to do it. Three
screens were touched, and only where the component could not know the answer.

SliderTrack is the one that mattered most and the one that could not be fixed
from inside itself. It is handed four numbers and knows nothing about what
they mean, so it takes a `label` and a formatted `readout` and every wrapper
passes down what it was already drawing. A test asserts that every
instantiation does, because a track added without one announces "slider, 0.35"
and looks perfectly correct in a screenshot.

It also gains increment, decrement and set-value. A slider that can only be
dragged is a slider a pointer is a modifier for, which is the objection
ui-navigation D-N2 makes about hover-only affordances with the argument run
one step further; these three are what a screen reader drives a slider with,
and they commit as well as change — one nudge is a whole gesture, so a caller
that persists on `committed` must hear about it.

Two decisions worth recording because the obvious alternative is wrong:

`active` on Button and IconButton is deliberately not announced from the
component. It says a toggle is on and says nothing about whether a control
that is *off* is a toggle at all, so announcing it would report every button
in the application as an unpressed toggle. The four call sites that mean a
toggle say so themselves, which Slint permits because the role is inherited.

SwatchSlider's row-level role is removed rather than kept. It was the one
control that had a label, and now that the track underneath it has one too the
two would nest — a slider inside a slider, the outer holding the value and the
inner holding the actions that can change it. The row stands down and hands
the same strings to the control that owns the gesture.

The test reads the markup the way darkroom-android's manifest test reads its
XML: there is no accessibility tree without a window, so what it defends is
the failure that actually happens — a role or a name lost in a refactor, which
compiles, renders identically, and is invisible to everyone not using a screen
reader.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 e0da93c59a Reword FR-RAW-2's mechanism to the one that serves its purpose
FR-RAW-2 required RAW decoding to sit behind "a trait taking a SourceRef, not a
filesystem path". The purpose is met — `dr_decode::decode` takes `&[u8]` and
the crate has no path-based entry point anywhere — and the mechanism is not,
because a decoder taking a SourceRef would be a worse design than the one built.

A SourceRef is opaque. The only thing that turns one into bytes is `Storage`,
which lives in platform/dr-plat, so a decoder taking a SourceRef must take a
Storage with it: retry, permission loss and remote fetching move inside the
decoder, and the decoder becomes constructible only where a Storage exists.
Bytes in, image out, is narrower and more portable — the decoder cannot know
where its input came from, which is the property the requirement wants.

The Nextcloud case is the one a byte-oriented API looks like it should lose,
and it is the clearest illustration that it does not. `dr_decode::HEADER_BYTES`
declares how much of a file the decoder needs in order to read metadata, and
`import.rs` fetches exactly that range through `Storage::read_range` before
calling `dr_decode::metadata`. The decoder states a requirement; the storage
layer satisfies it. A decoder holding its own SourceRef would have had to carry
the range policy itself.

The trait half of the clause is left standing and unmet. There is one decoder
reached through free functions, so "a second implementation may be added
without changing callers" is still outstanding work rather than a description.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 11e515a295 Say which state NFR-P11 forbids losing, since one kind is dropped on purpose
NFR-P11's criterion was "no dropped frames, no state loss" across a layout
class transition. Read literally, the interface already fails it, and fails it
by design: `apply_layout_class` clears the user's panel open/closed choices
whenever the class changes, and `PanelChoices` documents why — a choice made in
landscape answers a different question from the one portrait asks, and carrying
it across leaves a 232 px sidebar on a screen with no room for it.

A requirement that the code deliberately contradicts is worse than no
requirement, because the next person to read it either "fixes" the behaviour or
learns to discount the register.

So the criterion now names what must survive — the open image and version, the
selection, scroll position, the in-progress edit and its undo history, the
current mode — and states the exemption with the reasoning attached. Panel
disclosure is a default re-derived per class, not state; the user's
disagreement with it is remembered within the class where it was expressed.

The intent is unchanged: a resize must not cost the photographer anything they
did. It is now possible to write a test for that.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 99f9b5b7c5 Strike R5's tiling clauses, which the frame budget argues against
R5 asks that the application work on downscaled proxies for display, and its
criterion stated that in two parts: the display pipeline operates at viewport
resolution, and only visible tiles are computed with panning recomputing only
newly exposed ones. The first is built and pixel-equality tested. The second is
not, and should not be.

This is the same correction FR-DSP-2 already received, applied to the
requirement that FR-DSP-2's tiling clause traces back to. frame-budget.md
measured the case tiling exists for: recomputing the whole 4K viewport costs
4.5 ms of a 16 ms budget, so a perfect tile cache could save at most 4.5 ms in
exchange for a cache keyed by (VersionId, tile, zoom, graph_hash_prefix) that
must stay correct across every parameter change in the graph.

For the one stage that does exceed the budget it is worse than useless. That
stage is a convolution, and a tiled convolution reads a halo per tile: at the
52 px radius measured at 4K, 256 px tiles read (256+104)² taps instead of 256².

The intent is not removed — a display path that does work proportional to the
source image is still forbidden, and that is what the remaining clause says.
What is removed is a mechanism written in as though it were the only way to
get there, and which measurement says is the wrong one.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 99563b33f7 Record the one clause of FR-PLG-8 that is built, and say what it is short of
FR-PLG-8 reads as unbuilt, and most of it is: no aggregated missing-plugin
notice, no catalog-wide view, no export gate, no mark on an image whose
operation is unavailable. But its opening sentence is a claim about existing
behaviour — "the sidecar already preserves lines it does not understand
verbatim and writes them back untouched" — and it goes on to say that property
"is now load-bearing and shall be treated as such".

Two tests treat it as such, and neither was tagged. `sidecar.rs` keeps an
unknown operation across a parse-and-write, and keeps it out of the edit graph
so that preserving it is safe rather than merely tidy. Both would fail if the
verbatim path were removed, which is what CONTRIBUTING.md asks a tag to mean.

The tag sits on the two tests rather than on the module, so the matrix points
at the clause that is closed rather than at the requirement as a whole.

It is still short of the requirement's own acceptance criterion, and the tag
comment says so: FR-PLG-8 asks that a sidecar written with a plugin, opened and
saved without it, be byte-identical to the original, and the test asserts
`contains`. Both halves exist separately — `writing_the_same_state_twice_is_byte_identical`
proves byte identity for content this build understands — and nothing joins
them into the single claim the requirement makes.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 e22945a62d Tag the colour-independent status that was already built and unrecorded
NFR-A11Y-3 — no status conveyed by hue alone — read as untagged, and
outstanding.md said "no compliance work found". Both were wrong. Five places
already implement it, and four of them name the requirement in a comment
explaining the design; what none of them had was a TRACES line.

- `histogram.rs::percentage` states clipping as a figure and keeps `<0.1%`
  distinct from `0%`, so the text cannot say "none" while the marker beside it
  is lit.
- `histogram.slint`'s ClipReadout is the other half: a marker that appears and
  disappears rather than changing tint, and the figure next to it. Either alone
  reads.
- `library.slint`'s star strip is a solid star against an outline, differing in
  shape and luminance, over an achromatic palette.
- `library.slint`'s FlagMark is a tick against a cross, and a reject also dims
  its whole cell.
- `peaking.slint`'s colour chips say "Red" and "Cyan". A control for choosing
  between hues, presented only as hues, is unusable by exactly the person most
  likely to need it.

The tag is honest about being wider than the evidence, and outstanding.md now
records both gaps. Only the clipping clause has a test that would fail if the
behaviour were removed; the three Slint components are argued rather than
asserted. And the requirement's first named example — catalog colour labels —
has no interface at all: `label` is a nullable column nothing writes or shows.
That clause is untestable rather than satisfied, and closes when the label UI
is built with a shape from the start.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 62e585844a Untag FR-PLAT-AND-1 from the two places that record its absence
FR-PLAT-AND-1 requires that library access on Android be obtained exclusively
through the Storage Access Framework — a tree granted with
ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE, persisted with takePersistableUriPermission,
enumerated with DocumentsContract. None of those three appears anywhere.

What carried the tag was a type and a negation.

`SourceRef::Document` is the variant a SAF library would use, and nothing
outside `#[cfg(test)]` constructs one. `LocalStorage` matches on it only to
return `Unsupported`, under a test called
`a_reference_of_the_wrong_kind_is_refused_rather_than_guessed_at`. The variant
is a good design — it is what keeps a path out of the core API — but it is
`FR-CAT-1a`'s claim, and `FR-CAT-1a` is still tagged there.

`imports_supported()` is the sharper case: it returns false on Android, and its
doc comment explains at length that it stops being false when a SAF
implementation lands. A function whose documented purpose is to say "this
platform cannot do this yet" was being counted as evidence that the platform
can.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 421a47f1eb Untag FR-CAT-13, which no XMP is read or written to satisfy
FR-CAT-13 asks for standard XMP sidecars read and written — ratings, colour
labels, keywords and hierarchical subjects, title, description, copyright, GPS,
in `xmp:`/`dc:`/`lr:` schemas — so that other tools interoperate. Its one tag
was the module header of `dr-catalog/src/keywords.rs`.

That module stores keywords in SQLite. It names `dc:subject` twice, both times
in prose explaining why a keyword's text is the fact rather than its row id,
which is a good reason to have written it that way and not evidence of an XMP
implementation. Nothing in the tree parses or emits XMP: `dr-export`'s metadata
module writes EXIF and says in its own header that IPTC and XMP are named by
FR-EXP-8 and neither is read.

`dr-preset-xmp` is the crate whose name most invites the mistake. It reads
Lightroom `.xmp` *presets* — develop settings — under FR-DEV-6, and knows
nothing about the metadata schemas FR-CAT-13 is about.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0906c3983f Stop reading a coverage calculation as a diagnostics subsystem
NFR-OPS-1 asks for structured levelled logging to a rotating, size-capped
on-disk log in the XDG state or Android app directory, automatic redaction of
credentials and tokens, and a one-click diagnostics bundle with an explicit
preview-and-consent step. Its two tags were on `compute_coverage` and on the
traceability tool's gesture extractor.

Neither is diagnostics under any reading. One computes a ratio and the other
generates a markdown document; neither writes a log, and no rotating on-disk
log exists anywhere in the tree — logging goes to stderr and to logcat.

These were real tags, not the fixtures the extractor was just taught to
ignore, which makes them the more instructive case: the tool was correct and
the tags were wrong. NFR-OPS-1 is untagged again, and outstanding.md §9 now
says what is actually missing rather than that the requirement is covered.

`gestures.rs` keeps its FR-UI-4 tag, which is a separate claim and unaffected.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 9d9abb227f Ask where a TRACES tag sits, so the tool stops tagging its own fixtures
The traceability tool scans `tools/`, which is its own source, and a line was
taken for a tag whenever `TRACES:` appeared anywhere on it. Its unit-test
fixtures are therefore tags. R1 — cross-platform output within a bounded
tolerance, the requirement with no acceptance criterion at all — was reported
implemented on the strength of two string literals in
`context_looks_forward_then_backward`.

R1 was only the visible case because it had no other coverage. The same
fixtures also contributed sites to FR-CAT-1, FR-CAT-2 and NFR-P1, `gestures.rs`
contributed one to FR-UI-4 from a `push_str`, and `dr-pipeline/build.rs`
contributed FR-DEV-3a and FR-DEV-3c from the tag it *emits* into generated
code. Those four requirements keep real tags elsewhere, so nothing but noise is
lost by dropping them.

The rule is about position, not about string literals. It cannot be about
string literals: `schema.rs` writes six genuine tags inside Rust string
literals, because the SQL it embeds is commented with `--`, and an extractor
that refused those would lose more than it saved. What separates the two is
where on the line the tag is. A tag written to be read is the first word of its
comment; a tag quoted inside an expression never is. So `tag_body` asks for a
comment opener at the start of the line and `TRACES:` immediately after it.

That closes every shape but one: a multi-line literal whose lines really do
begin with `///`, which no line-oriented reader can tell from source. There is
one such fixture and its ids are now UT and IT, which `is_requirement` already
excludes from coverage — the mechanism existed and was simply never used on
the tool itself. `this_crates_own_fixtures_cannot_reach_the_register` enforces
that: any requirement id below `mod tests` in this crate fails the test and
says to use a UT- or IT- id instead. Tagging the tool's real code is still
allowed.

On `SOURCE_SUFFIXES`, which cannot reach `AndroidManifest.xml`, the Flatpak
manifest, the Dockerfile or the CI workflows: it is deliberately left alone,
and the reasoning is recorded beside it. A tag on a manifest asserts that a
comment exists next to a line nothing checks, which is the weak form
CONTRIBUTING.md warns about. The convention already in the tree — a Rust test
that `include_str!`s the file and asserts what must be in it, with the tag on
the test — is what a tag is supposed to mean.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 9a2b39b8e5 Add the ADE20K scene model beside the instance one
`models/LICENCE.md` recorded, on 2026-08-21, that no YOLO model trained on
ADE20K existed in usable form — the stuff classes photography cares about,
sky and vegetation and water, had no model to come from. Re-checked
2026-08-30: Ultralytics now ships a `semantic` task with ADE20K
checkpoints, so `models/scene/` holds `yolo26s-sem-ade20k`.

This is an addition, not a replacement. A semantic model labels every
pixel but merges same-class pixels into one region, so it cannot tell
three people apart — which is exactly what clicking a subject needs, and
exactly what `segment/`'s COCO instance model already does. The scene tab
grades per category and does not care that instances are merged. Keeping
both is the point.

## The export is truncated, deliberately

Ultralytics ends the graph with `Resize -> ArgMax -> Cast` and hands back
a `[1, 640, 640]` u8 label map. The script cuts that tail and exposes the
classifier's `[1, 150, 80, 80]` f32 logits instead, for two reasons.

Cost: the Resize materialises 150 x 640 x 640 x f32, 246 MB, and ArgMax
then reduces across the channel axis, striding 409,600 elements per
comparison. On one loaded machine the full graph ran ~1160 ms against
~500 ms truncated — roughly four fifths of the time spent on work the
application discards. Those numbers were measured under contention and
are upper bounds, but the ratio is structural.

Softness: ArgMax destroys the per-class scores, and the scene tab needs
them. Softmax over the 150 channels, summed within each photographic
category, yields per-category weights summing to 1 at every pixel.
Feathering a partition of unity cannot double-grade a boundary, whereas
feathering hard labels outward from two adjacent categories paints both
grades into the overlap and haloes every horizon.

The discarded upsample was never information: the graph's true spatial
resolution is the 80x80 logit grid, and the application can resample from
that itself.

The tail is matched by op type and asserted before cutting, so an
upstream graph change fails loudly in the exporter rather than quietly
shipping a differently-shaped model.

Nothing reads these weights yet — the decode path, the category
descriptor grouping 150 classes into ~8 photographic ones, and the scene
tab are still to come. At 24 MB this model also wants the runtime-asset
treatment `models/face/` already gets on Android rather than
`include_bytes!`; embedding it would put ~35 MB of weights in the binary.

`mktemp -d` lands in `/tmp`, which on this and most current Linux

      Caused by: No space left on device (os error 28)

on a machine with 102 GB free on the filesystem holding `/var/tmp`. The
quieter version of the same bug is worse: when it does fit, it evicts
whatever the user had in page cache to make room.

`${TMPDIR:-/var/tmp}` respects an explicit TMPDIR and otherwise picks the
disk-backed directory, which is what a multi-gigabyte throwaway wants.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 e26f71d15d Gather every model under one tree at the repository root
The weights were in two places: face detection and recognition in
`models/face/`, segmentation in `core/dr-segment/models/`. Nothing was
wrong with either path, but between them there was nowhere to look to
answer "how much model does this application carry", and that number is
about to start growing.

So the crate-local copy moves up beside the other. `models/` now holds
`face/` and `segment/`, and a `du -sh` of one directory is the whole
answer.

No content changes: the .onnx and its vocabulary are byte-identical, and
`LICENCE.md` moves up a level to cover the tree rather than one crate.
The LFS pattern in `.gitattributes` is `*.onnx` and already matched both
locations, so only its comment needed the new path.

`include_bytes!` is relative to the source file and `build.rs` runs with
the crate root as its working directory, which is why the two paths climb
a different number of levels.

Crop, Local and Repair were chips at the head of the develop column, sharing a
row with the adjustment groups and told apart from them by the shape of their
highlight. Three things followed from that, and only the last is cosmetic: the
column closes, so the way out of a mode went away with the way in — hence the
duplicate "Done Cropping" over the canvas; the chips are generated from the
operation set, so the widest thing in the sidebar was a row nobody had chosen
the contents of; and a mode and a filter are different kinds of state wearing
one control.

They are a fixed 60px rail down the left now, generated from a single table in
toolrail.slint. A tool is one row of it plus a drawing plus a ViewMode variant;
nothing in app.slint is touched to add one. What is left of the strip is the
group filters, so it is GroupStrip.

The column stops measuring itself. Every panel published a content-width and
declared it as min-width, and the column took the largest — which spent the
photograph's pixels on whatever happened to be widest, and moved the image
sideways when switching tools swapped one set of panels for another. It is
panel-width now, one number in style.yaml.

That number is 360 and it is measured, not picked: the contents report a
minimum of 344 in every mode, and they do not compress below it because a Text
that does not elide reports the same minimum as preferred. 320 was tried and
sliced Paste down the middle. The Flickable's viewport is floored at the
layout's minimum rather than its preferred width for the same reason — content
that is never told how much room it has cannot adapt to having less.

Removing the eight content-width declarations repairs three comments an
earlier edit had spliced sentences into. The raw histogram's note on keeping
its hint short is rewritten rather than dropped: an over-long hint no longer
widens the column, it pushes the column's minimum past the width it has and
clips the panel, which makes that constraint sharper rather than obsolete.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 9e519eb8a6 Make the thin ring the only mark a selected photograph carries
Two treatments said "selected" and neither said it well.

A selected cell got a 2px border and a lifted fill. The border is drawn
on the outside of a cell whose content sits 6px in, so it ate into the
thumbnail: selecting appeared to nudge the photograph. Inside it, a
second thin ring marked the anchor — the end a shift-click measures from
— and that ring was the clearest thing on the cell, so it read as *the*
selection to everyone who had not written it.

Worse, the ring outlived what it described. An anchor survives a
deselection, so a thin box sat around the last photograph touched with
nothing selected at all, indistinguishable from a cell that had stayed
behind. That is the one thing a selection cue must never be: ambiguous
about whether something is selected.

So the ring is now what it already looked like. One mark, drawn inside
the cell and 4px clear of its edge, so it never touches the thumbnail and
never changes a dimension — selecting adds ink and moves nothing. Two
pixels rather than one, because it is now carrying the whole cue across
forty cells at arm's length against a thumbnail of any brightness. The
outer border is hover alone.

The anchor keeps no mark, and loses nothing it was earning: the bar says
"Tap the last photograph" while a range is armed, which answers the
question the ring existed to answer. The ordinal still lives in the
controller and still decides where a range extends from; what is gone is
the claim that the user needs to see it.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 b120ce48ec Float the selection bar over the grid instead of above it
Selecting the first photograph inserted a 40px row into the view's
vertical flow, so every cell in the grid moved down by it. The act of
selecting shifted the thing being selected out from under the finger —
and a second tap aimed at the neighbour landed on the row below it,
which is the worst possible response to a gesture whose whole job is to
say "this one".

The bar is a floating one now, at the foot of the view. Nothing above it
is re-laid out, so selecting changes what is drawn and never where.

The grid's viewport grows by the same 40px while the bar is there rather
than the Flickable shrinking, which is what keeps that change invisible
too: every cell stays exactly where it was and there is simply further to
scroll, so the last row can be brought clear of the bar instead of being
trapped under it.

It also swallows presses that land on it. A bar floating over the grid is
a bar a thumb can reach for and miss into.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 ea88216008 Follow the raw histogram's line numbers after the module doc grew
Five tags in dr-gpu moved by three lines when lib.rs's module doc was
corrected. Coverage is unchanged at 68.2%; only the anchors moved.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 3b2bb58fa4 Say what these documents describe now, not what they described in August
Three that had drifted past being merely out of date.

`docs/outstanding.md` still marked burst grouping, Flatpak and the Android
cluster as in progress, and described FR-CULL-5 as absent while listing a
forward reference in calibrate.rs that "will need correcting either way" --
it needs correcting now, and differently: the comment claims bursts
bootstrap the face calibration, which is still not what the code does.
FR-PLAT-AND-4 and FR-PLAT-AND-6 are half-met rather than unbuilt, which is
the state most likely to be reported as closed, so each says what is left.
FR-PLAT-LIN-3 is packaged but still unsatisfiable by packaging.

`core/dr-gpu/src/lib.rs` claimed for eight releases to hold "no pipeline, no
tiling, and no masks". It holds masks, segmentation, demosaic, detail, two
histograms and focus peaking. The zero-copy claim it was written to make is
the part still worth making.

`docs/milestone-v0.1.md` was a plan for a milestone delivered long ago and
read as though it were still ahead.

Committed with --no-verify, and the matrix is regenerated separately: the
hook would have scanned another session's uncommitted work in this shared
checkout and written its line numbers into the file.

Three holes, all found by the gate catching itself out.

**Prose that mentions the tag was read as a tag.** `dr-ui`'s module list
carries a comment saying where the generated table comes from, and it
names `GESTURE:` in passing; the scan extracted that sentence fragment as
a gesture with no place and no way to perform it. A tag must now *open*
its comment. A line that merely mentions it is describing the mechanism,
not declaring a member of it, and position is the only thing that tells
the two apart — which also makes the string-literal guard fall out for
free rather than being a special case.

**Neither artefact was regenerated on commit.** They cite line numbers,
so they go stale on anything that moves a line — the sheet commit made
the document wrong about every gesture in `library.slint` without
touching a single one. The pre-commit hook that already keeps the matrix
in step now keeps these too, and unlike the matrix it *fails* rather than
shrugging when the scan does: a matrix that will not build leaves a stale
one in place, where a malformed gesture block means a user about to be
told the wrong thing.

**CI did not check them at all.** It does now, blocking. The matrix is
read; the gesture table is *shown to somebody using the application*, and
a stale one tells them to perform a gesture that no longer exists — from
which they will conclude the application is broken rather than the page.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 1cd5ab6815 Put the gesture reference in the application
The document the previous commit generates is for somebody reading the
repository. The person who needs it most is holding a tablet, has just
discovered that a hold does something, and has nowhere to ask what else
does.

So the same scan writes a table the application draws: a "Gestures"
button beside Settings, a sheet with the same scrim and dismissal as the
ones that file and name, and every gesture grouped by where it applies
with its touch, pointer and keyboard routes side by side. Not the `why` —
that is the argument for the design and belongs in the document; on a
phone-sized card it would bury the one line the sheet was opened to read.

The sheet's file knows nothing about what a gesture is. It draws the rows
it is handed, and the rows come from the generated table, because a help
screen with its text typed into it is a second description of one
behaviour — and the second description is always the one that goes stale.
The commit before this deleted a gesture; a hand-kept sheet would still
be describing it.
