dtourolle e6ac31d39d Give the face sweep a size budget, so a panorama is never fetched
The sweep fetches the whole original before it can learn anything
about it, and the one file in the reference library the decoder
refuses on sight is a 521 MB stitched panorama — so every pass on the
tablet spent half a gigabyte of Wi-Fi to find that out again. The
catalog already knows the byte count, and that is enough to decide
before the fetch: originals over 256 MB are marked examined with
nothing found and a zero edge, counted as failed, and named in the
log. Below the line is every camera RAW the library holds; above it,
four files, all panoramas.

A budget and not a verdict on panoramas. The right treatment for one
is a tiled pass — read it in strips, detect in each, stitch the boxes
back — and the zero edge is what that pass would select on. Until it
exists, this is what keeps a background sweep on a phone from paying
for the decision the decoder cannot make.

dtourolle 327decfab1 Fuse every detector's faces into one population per embedder
Choosing "Thorough" made the library look empty. The detector setting
writes under its own faces.model_id, and every reader of "the faces"
keyed on that exact id: the clustering pass, the coverage figure, the
sweep's work list, the shard export and import, and the sync merge's
face matching. On the reference library that restarted coverage at
1,834 of 19,140, drew a People rail of 36 faces for a person with 520,
queued a ~400 GB re-fetch on each device, and stranded the desktop's
3,583 confirmations under the old id: the tablet held the same faces
under the new one and the merge refused to match them. Same photograph,
same box, same embedder, two ids — that is one face, not two libraries.

The embedder half of the id is now the key. embedder_of and embedder_sql
give it to every query; writes keep the full id, so which detector drew
a box stays on record. record_detections is unchanged and is where the
generations meet: an image holds one pipeline's faces at a time, and a
re-detection carries confirmations across by box overlap. The merge's
match_faces applies the same rule within an embedder. The calibration
is keyed on the embedder too, since the similarity space did not change.

Shards travel every generation, each under its own id, and a peer adopts
whichever it is sent — including a stronger detector's pass over an
image it indexed itself with a weaker one, which is the re-detection its
own sweep would otherwise queue, already done. Never downwards: a tablet
on Fast keeps the desktop's Thorough faces. The sweep gains the same
tail — images a weaker detector indexed, after the ones nothing has —
driven by FaceDetector::supersedes, so choosing a stronger detector still
improves the library over time without first making it disappear.

dtourolle f8addbee53 Mark a file the decoder cannot open, so the sweep stops fetching it
A decode failure in the face sweep was counted, logged at debug where
nobody saw it, and left unmarked — so the next pass fetched the same
file and failed the same way. For the 521 MB panorama behind rawler's
panic that was half a gigabyte per sweep, on a tablet. It is now marked
examined with nothing found and a zero edge, which is what a later "try
again with a better decoder" pass would select on, and the warning
names the file. The failure count is unchanged: it did fail.

Walking the photo roll was one download per frame: every step showed
"Downloading…" over an empty canvas while tens of megabytes came down,
and moving between a pair of near-identical frames paid that a dozen
times. Now, once the opened photograph has landed, the ones around it
are fetched into the originals cache while it is being looked at, so
the next step is a disk read.

A single worker serves the latest wish only, closest first and working
outwards — next, previous, next-but-one, previous-but-one… — one file
at a time. Each open replaces the wish, so a fast walk never leaves a
trail of stale downloads competing with the one being waited on. A
process-wide in-flight registry makes a click on a photograph that is
still being fetched ahead wait for that transfer and read it from disk,
rather than start a second download of the same file.

How far each side is a setting under STORAGE — Off, 2, 5, 10 or 20,
defaulting to 5 — and it is moot while "keep originals after opening"
is off, since a fetch the cache would discard on arrival is transfer
for nothing. Nothing is fetched ahead while offline. The transfers show
in the activity list while they run and are removed when they end.

"The chosen detector is not installed" was the whole of what a user
saw, on a machine where the files were three directories away from
where the lookup went. The search order was in a doc comment and
nowhere a user could read it. Now a missing pair logs the detector
file it wanted and every directory it tried, which is what the first
Windows install needed and what the next misplaced download will.

dtourolle ef1154af94 Resolve every base directory in one place, and on Windows
Five sites each read XDG_*_HOME and fell back to $HOME/.local/… on
their own, which is fine on Linux and wrong everywhere else: Windows
sets neither variable, so every one of them degraded to a path
relative to the working directory — for a Start Menu launch,
C:\Windows\System32. The models lookup walked XDG_DATA_DIRS the same
way.

dr_plat::dirs now holds the rule per platform: XDG on Unix, the known
folders on Windows — %APPDATA% for config, which roams, and
%LOCALAPPDATA% for data and state, which do not — and the executable's
own directory as the system data dir, which is where the installer
puts the models. The Android overrides stay where they were; only the
fallback behind them moved. Both rule sets are unit-tested on either
host, and the Windows one was confirmed by running the application
under Wine: its log landed in AppData\Local\darkroom\state and nothing
was written anywhere else.

FR-CAT-13 asked for standard XMP and `core/dr-xmp` answered the file: it
has read and written `dc:subject`, `xmp:Rating`, `xmp:Label` and the IPTC
core since 5fa4c07, under an ownership rule that leaves everything else in
the document untouched. What nothing did was call it. No scan found an
`.xmp` beside a raw, no catalog row was filled from one, no judgement
wrote one back, and the "external modification detected, reload offered"
clause had no mechanism. A library imported from Lightroom came in and
could not go back out.

The scan collects `.xmp` beside `.drsc` from the listings it was already
paying for, and the pull reads each one whose ETag has moved. Both
namings resolve: darktable's `IMG_0001.CR3.xmp` names its file exactly,
Lightroom's `IMG_0001.xmp` names the stem, and under the stem the JPEG
beside a RAW is the same photograph and takes the same document, as
DarkRoom's own sidecar already does. Each is reconciled with the catalog
winning — keywords union, a rating or label taken only where the catalog
has none — because a standard XMP carries nothing that could say whether
its value is newer. A genuine disagreement is not resolved; it is written
to a table, and the settings page offers the sidecars' values against it.
That button is the reload the requirement asks to be offered, and the
ETag that moved is the detection it asks for: an `.xmp` edited elsewhere
is exactly a file the pull's ordinary incrementality re-reads.

Writing goes the other way behind a setting that starts off, since NFR-R4
makes writes beside somebody's originals theirs to switch on. With it on,
a judgement or a keyword rewrites the sidecar of whichever spelling
exists, or creates Lightroom's. The record is read from the catalog
whole at that moment rather than carried from the gesture, so a rating
and a keyword a second apart are two writes of one file that agree. And
the file's own title, caption, copyright and hierarchy come through the
rewrite: the catalog has no columns for them, `rewrite` replaces the
owned set wholesale, and a record that said nothing about them would have
deleted them from a Lightroom sidecar on every star.

The rating's two axes cross the format's one field both ways: a
rejection is Adobe's `-1` and stars are stars, and stars arriving on a
rejected frame lift the rejection, since the file said it was worth a
number. An unrated file says nothing and clears nothing, on the rule the
`.drsc` merge keeps. `versions.label` finally has a reader and a writer,
with the code table moved out of the query so the two cannot drift.

dtourolle d3b6127db6 Let a photographer name the state they liked, and go back to it or look at it
FR-DEV-5 asked for named snapshots of an edit state and FR-DEV-7 for a
comparison against a chosen one, and neither existed. The history stack
is per sitting and forgotten with it, on purpose — the gap that mattered
was an automatically saved mis-drag with no way back, and that was closed
first. What was left was the other half: a state the photographer wants
to keep *because* it is worth keeping, which is a different thing from a
step and is not served by making the steps last longer.

A snapshot is an edit state, and an edit state is exactly what a sidecar
version stores, so it is stored as one: a `[version]` block carrying
`snapshot-of = <uuid>`. The parameters, the masks and their parts, the
repairs and the film all arrive through the blocks that already carry
them, a merge keys on the uuid as it does for any version, and a build
that predates the key reads the block as a named version and keeps it —
the right failure. Only the pointer is new. The one reader that has to
know is `default_version`, which must never answer with a snapshot: a
file whose edit is missing is not a file whose edit is one of its saved
moments. The snapshots of an edit are listed by that pointer, oldest
first, the same on every device.

Writing them back removes what this sitting deleted and puts in what it
holds, and leaves standing whatever it never saw — a snapshot the other
device took since the photograph was opened here is not this device's to
remove by not knowing about it. That is the rule the version merge
already keeps, applied one level down, and it is why the save carries
the deleted ids rather than replacing the list wholesale as the masks
are. Each is re-pointed at the uuid the save settled on, because the
default may have been fused onto its canonical identity since the
snapshot was taken.

Restoring is one history step, so undo takes it back whole, as a paste
is. Taking and deleting are not steps: they change nothing about the
photograph, and an undo that removed a snapshot would be undoing a
decision to remember. Holding the eye beside one renders the snapshot
and hands the edit straight back — the same suspension "Before" uses,
against a point the photographer chose rather than the file. Two
sessions on the same photograph get ids that cannot collide, stamped
with the second and a random word, because the merge folds equal ids
into one.

dtourolle 4f31123b0c Let the user choose which SCRFD finds their faces
faces.md §12.3 measured what the cheapest detector costs: the small
faces in every group shot, and a dog embedded a dozen times. Which
trade is right depends on the machine doing the sweep — a desktop left
overnight and a tablet on a battery want different answers — so the
detector is now a per-device setting, Fast / Balanced / Thorough on
the settings page beside the indexing button, persisted with the rest
of the settings file.

A detector is half of a model id. Every face, marker, shard and
calibration is keyed on faces.model_id precisely so that a model change
is a new id and a re-index rather than a silent change under existing
data, and a detector change is a model change: it decides which faces
exist and where the landmarks that align them land. So each choice
names its own pipeline. 500M keeps the bare "w600k_mbf" every existing
library was written under, so an upgrade disturbs nothing; the others
are qualified. Choosing one restarts coverage from zero under the new
id, the sweep re-detects, confirmed names carry across by box overlap,
and the sync shards are keyed by the same id so a peer on another
setting neither adopts nor pollutes them. The library controller
carries the id into the sync the same way it carries the cache budget,
because the sync starts from places that have no settings in reach.

All three shape-fixed exports ship — APK, Arch, Flatpak — since a
tablet has no other way to obtain the one it was not installed with;
the APK grows by twenty megabytes for the choice.

Every face stored before its quality was kept holds a unit vector, and
V14 forgot the run marker of each image holding one so that the next
sweep would look again. Looking again meant detecting again: a whole
re-detection per image, with every suggestion on it thrown away and the
confirmations carried across by box overlap, to recover one number.

The sweep now has a measuring pass between the proxy repair and the
un-indexed images. It lists every image holding an unmeasured face,
fetches the original once, warps each stored face from the landmarks it
already has, embeds it, and writes the raw vector and its length over
the old row. Ids, boxes and identities are untouched; the marker is
re-written fresh so the sync exports the measured vectors. A face whose
landmarks no longer make a warp is dropped, as detection would have
refused to store it. `faces_unindexed` leaves those images to the
measuring pass, so the V14 deletion no longer costs a second detection.

dtourolle 8b3abdb787 Keep each face's quality, and never compare against a poor one
The embedder's raw output has a length, and the length is a reading of
how recognisable the crop was: a blur, an occlusion or a hard profile
comes out short. Normalising threw it away. A short vector sits near
the middle of the sphere and matches a little of everyone, which is how
one bad crop bridges two people in a grouping pass.

So the length is kept — the store now holds the raw vector, re-normalised
on load, with the length beside it as `faces.quality` — and a face under
MIN_GALLERY_QUALITY (14) is a probe: measured against the gallery and
placed where it fits, but never what another face is measured against.
Two probes are never paired, and a probe is nobody's evidence for a
confidence. The People screen shows the number as "Quality 17.3", dimmed
below the floor.

Faces indexed before this stored unit vectors and have no reading; they
are admitted to the gallery, and schema V14 forgets the run marker of
every image holding one so the next indexing pass measures them. A
peer's unmeasured shard faces are not adopted, or a sync would write
that marker back.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 1ad35e2b87 Read the library's sidecars, so a cull done elsewhere arrives
Judgements only ever travelled outward. A rating went to the catalog and to the
photograph's sidecar, the sidecar reached the server, and there it stopped: the
scan indexes files, `derived_sync` exchanges thumbnails, face shards and
collections, `dr_catalog::merge` reconciles everything in a catalog except
`versions.rating` and `versions.flag`, and the one sidecar reader that existed
ran when a single photograph was opened in develop and handed its answer to the
develop graph. `JobKind::ReadSidecar` was declared for exactly this when the job
queue was written and was never enqueued or handled anywhere.

The grid draws `versions.rating`. So a day of culling on the tablet could not
reach the laptop by any path the application had, and the laptop's catalog says
so plainly: 23,568 images, one of them judged.

`pull_sidecars` closes it, off the back of work the scan already does.
`dr_sync::scan` reports the `.drsc` files it meets in listings it was making
anyway — no extra request, and a directory whose ETag is unchanged is still
pruned before it is listed at all. A new `sidecars` table records the ETag of
each one this device has taken in, so the fetch is one GET per sidecar that
genuinely changed rather than one per photograph. A library nobody has edited
costs nothing.

The judgement is taken rather than maximised. The sidecar is the authoritative
store and the fuse has already settled any contest between devices on
`revision`, so lowering a rating from four to one on the tablet lowers it here —
taking the larger would have refused every demotion the photographer ever made,
which is most of what a second pass over a shoot is. A zero is the exception: it
means *never judged*, not "judged zero", so a sidecar carrying none cannot erase
a star this device holds. That is `merge_judgement`'s asymmetry and it carries
the same known cost — clearing a rating does not propagate.

A sidecar names a stem, so both halves of a RAW-and-JPEG pair are judged: they
are one photograph (FR-CAT-11) sharing one document, and judging only one of
them would leave the grid disagreeing with itself over which it drew. The `LIKE`
that finds them is a filter, not the decision — `sidecar_path` is applied to
every candidate, because a folder is entitled to contain a `%` and a rating
landing on the wrong frame would be silent and permanent.

Failing to read one is not a failure to scan: the ETag goes unrecorded, the
ratings already here stay where they are, and the next scan tries again. The
count is reported to the status line as well as the log, because a grid that
silently gains three hundred stars is indistinguishable from one that has gone
wrong — and because while this number was structurally zero there was nothing to
tell the photographer their cull had not arrived.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 601c984894 Fold a photograph's rival default versions back into one
Picking the newer of two default versions stopped the wrong edit being shown,
but it did not close the split: the losing version stayed in the file, and a
device holding disjoint work — a crop made here, an exposure change made there
— still contributed only one of the two.

Worse, the next write made it larger. `amend` looks its version up by uuid,
neither of the two was ours, so the miss minted a *third* `default = 1` block
and the file grew one rival per device per photograph.

`Sidecar::fuse_default_versions` folds them down. The version with the highest
`(revision, modified)` is the accumulator and every other default is merged
into it as the remote, which is what makes the fold order-independent —
`Version::merge` raises its own revision to `max + 1` as it goes, so merging a
chain in ascending order stops being ascending after the first step and a third
device would be dropped. Contested values resolve to the winner, disjoint keys
survive from both sides because the merge is key-wise, and ratings come across
under `merge_judgement`, so a device that never judged the frame cannot erase
one that did.

The result is a function of the file's bytes alone, so two devices that fuse
independently reach the same document and converge instead of overwriting each
other.

Called wherever a sidecar is parsed:

- `amend`, with the write's own uuid, so the fold lands on the identity this
  device is about to use and the lookup below it hits instead of missing.
- `spawn_sidecar_fetch`, so opening a photograph shows everything done to it
  rather than whichever half won.
- `drain_one`, because `merge_into` reconciles by uuid and would otherwise
  publish the split rather than resolve it.
- `presets::load_local` and `save_local` — a local sidecar's folder may be
  synced by something else entirely, and gets the same split.

A file with one default under the expected uuid comes back byte-identical, so
this costs nothing on the ordinary write and no sidecar is uploaded merely for
having been read.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 710fcbc1bd Format the face work with the workspace's own rustfmt
Not authored in this session. `cargo fmt --all` reformats every crate, so
running it while working on `dr-segment` picked up five files from the recent
face and library work that had been committed unformatted.

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

dtourolle 6acc98baad Carry the photograph's header into an export made from develop
The same file exported from the library grid kept its camera, its lens,
its capture date and its rights statement. Exported from the develop
button it kept none of them, and `{date}` in a filename template
resolved to nothing at all. Two buttons, one photograph, two different
files -- and the develop one was the version the photographer had just
finished working on.

A session now remembers the header it was opened from, and
`open_session` takes that header rather than the orientation read out of
it, so a photograph cannot be opened for editing without saying which
file it came from. `render_open_frame` clones it onto
`Source::Rendered`; both arms of `export_one` -- the worker's own decode
and the frame handed over already rendered -- turn a header into a
`{date}` and a `SourceMetadata` through the same function, so the two
paths cannot come to different readings of one file. What of it actually
reaches the exported bytes is still decided inside `dr-export` from the
settings, which is what keeps the location-stripping option working here
rather than giving it a second implementation to disagree with.

The alternative was to hang the metadata on `Source::Rendered` alone and
keep it beside the session in the interface. That touches less, but it
makes the header and the pixels two cells to hold in step across the six
places an image is opened, replaced or fails to open, and the failure
mode of getting that pairing wrong is not a missing tag: it is one
photograph exported under another's byline and coordinates, silently.
Kept on the session, the two travel together or not at all.

The header is stored decoded rather than transcribed at open time,
deliberately. `dr-export` argues that source metadata is a parameter and
not a field on `Frame`, because two exports of one frame may legitimately
disclose different amounts; by the same reasoning a session may remember
where its pixels came from without that being a decision about what to
publish, and the allowlist that decides remains the single function in
`export.rs`.

A file with no header is left with none -- an empty `{date}` and nothing
for the encoder to copy -- rather than today's date standing in for a
capture time nobody recorded.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d44bffa4a8 Remember where the photographer was
Opening the application was always a fresh arrival at the beginning of
the library, whatever you had been doing when you closed it.

What is written down is the view, the scope, the rating filter and the
photograph on screen -- the open one in develop, the first visible one in
the grid. Not just a scroll position: a position without the filter that
produced it names a row of a list that no longer exists. Restoring them
has an order for the same reason -- scope, then filter, then position,
then the view -- because each step changes what an ordinal *means*.

Addressed by remote path and collection UUID, never by an ordinal or a
row id. `images.id` and `collections.id` are local to one catalog, and a
grid ordinal is local to one ordering; a record naming either would land
somewhere arbitrary on a second device and after any filter change on
this one. Where the ordinal is needed, `library::ordinal_of_path`
computes it through the grid's own `ORDER BY`, taken verbatim by a window
function rather than spelled a second time as an inequality -- which is
the mistake `grid_order_for` already warns about, and which a manually
ordered collection would make unreadable.

Every failure degrades rather than reports. A collection this device has
not merged leaves the scope at the whole library; a photograph that has
since been deleted falls back to when it was taken, which puts the grid
in the right week; a torn file yields no place and the library opens at
the top. Reopening develop is the one thing that requires an exact match,
because a canvas on a path that no longer resolves is a filename over an
empty frame.

The record lives in `dr-types` beside `Settings` and the store lives here
beside `SettingsStore`, for the reason `dr-types`' manifest gives: a JSON
serialiser in `core/` would be paid for by every crate there. Two files
and two lifetimes, though -- resetting preferences must not forget where
you were.

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 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 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 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.

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 7418b040da Refuse a scan whose root has gone, instead of reporting it empty
FR-PLAT-AND-2, and a silent failure on both platforms. `dr_sync::scan`
stepped over a NotFound or PermissionDenied the way it does for a child
that vanished mid-walk -- correct for a child, wrong for the root, where
it ended the walk, returned Ok with nothing in it, and reported a
successful scan of a library that was no longer there.

A lost root is now its own error. The images under it are marked
Availability::Offline per FR-CAT-9 and no catalog row is deleted;
`library::persist` clears the mark per file as each one is listed again,
so a root that comes back needs no repair step.

Partly satisfied rather than closed, and the gap is worth stating.
The recovery half is real and reachable on Android today, because
`map_status` turns Nextcloud's 403 and 404 into it and Nextcloud is how
a phone actually gets a library in this build. The causes the
requirement names -- revocation, reinstall, a removed card -- are
properties of a persisted tree permission, and there is none: SAF does
not exist here, `SourceRef::Document` is constructed only in test
modules, and `LocalStorage` rejects the variant outright. When SAF
lands it becomes a third producer of this error and nothing above it
changes, which is why the discovery belongs in the connector.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 55cb9b5b30 Keep the test scene's own arithmetic from overflowing a u64
The first compile this branch ever had. `cargo fmt` reflowed four files
and clippy passed at -D warnings untouched, but one test panicked:
`the_signature_does_not_change_with_scale`, on "attempt to multiply with
overflow".

It is the fixture, not the feature. `scene()`'s little LCG multiplied the
block's y by the golden-ratio constant with a plain `*` while the term
beside it already used `wrapping_mul`, so any scene taller than about 104
pixels overflowed in debug. Only the scale test builds one that large,
which is why 345 of 346 passed around it.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 e5db849f04 Mark a burst in the grid, and let it be folded away
The counterpart to the grouping: where the signatures come from, and how a
group reaches a cell.

Signatures are computed from the 256px thumbnails dr-thumbs already holds --
vastly more resolution than a 9x8 reduction can use -- so a library that has
been browsed, or that has synced somebody else's shards, has already paid for
them and no RAW is decoded for this. The consequence is stated rather than
hidden: an image with no thumbnail gets no signature and never joins a burst.
That is self-correcting, and it is why the pass runs when the thumbnail sweep
finishes rather than on a timer. Nothing happens at import and nothing happens
at query time.

The mark is drawn as a child of the cell's TouchArea, for the same reason the
star strip is: a click on it must not also reach `cell-clicked` and throw the
user into develop, and children are hit-tested before the element they sit in.
It is never hidden on hover the way the stars are -- a collapsed burst stands
in for frames that are not on screen, and something has to say so whether or
not a pointer is nearby.

Folding changes what the grid's *query* returns rather than what its cells
draw, because the grid is a window over an ordered query and the frames a fold
hides are mostly not loaded. So the predicate joins VISIBLE in every query
that lists or counts cells -- the window, the header's count, the run a
shift-click resolves, and the ordinal a scrub lands on -- under the discipline
VISIBLE's own comment sets out: present in four places of five is worse than
absent, because the counts disagree with the cells and neither looks wrong on
its own. There is a test for exactly that.

`the_window_read_walks_the_ordering_index` now includes the burst clause. It
asserts on the query plan while holding its own copy of the query, so left
alone it would have gone on reporting green against a query the grid no longer
runs. If the clause costs `images_grid_order` and puts the sort back, that
fails here rather than becoming jitter someone measures in six months.

The pass keeps its own drain timer in a thread-local instead of taking fields
on the library controller, so everything the feature needs to run lives in one
file and the screen that starts it holds nothing.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 f5edd49b6b Let a manual collection be put in the order it is meant to be seen in
`collection_members.position` and `Sort::CollectionPosition` have been in the
catalog since collections were, and nothing above dr-catalog has ever written
or read either: `collections::set_order` had no callers, and the grid ordered
everything by capture time whatever it was scoped to — dr-ui does not construct
a `Query` at all, it has its own `GRID_ORDER` constant. So a manual collection
was a set with an order nobody could see or change.

Three pieces, because it could not be fewer:

`grid_order_for` decides the ordering from the scope, and both readers take it
from there. That is the load-bearing part. An ordinal only names a photograph
relative to an ordering, so the window read and the span read have to agree —
a shift-click resolved through a different ORDER BY than the cells were drawn
with selects a different run than the one on screen, and the user finds out
when the export runs. `read_ids_span` already stated that invariant about
`GRID_ORDER`; this widens it to an ordering that depends on the scope.

Only a single manual collection has one. A set draws its descendants' images
too, and two children's positions are unrelated integers that interleave
arbitrarily; a smart collection has no member rows to carry a position at all.
Both fall back to capture time and refuse the drop rather than pretending.

The drop is on the cell, on whichever half of it the finger landed — the
trailing edge is the only way to name the last place in a collection, since
there is no cell beyond the last one to drop in front of.

`reordered` is pure and the membership is rewritten whole. `set_order` sets the
positions it is given and leaves the rest, so a partial write would interleave
the moved run with rows nobody touched; and it is read unfiltered, so what the
filter is hiding keeps its place relative to what the user can see.

dtourolle 5768100816 Borrow the library to index it, and give it back
The passes that need every photograph's bytes — thumbnails, face
indexing — now borrow each one and release it at the end. On a
placeholder library that is the difference between peak disk being the
working set and being the whole library.

Including on cancellation, which was nearly missed: the face sweep
returns mid-loop when the user presses Stop, and without releasing there
the disk is spent and nothing is delivered for it.

`materialise` now answers whether *it* fetched the content. The pool used
to work that out by listing a file's parent directory — one listing per
file across a library — when the backend already had to `stat` it to
decide whether to ask. One syscall instead of a directory walk, and it
removes the bug class the tests found earlier: a file at the library root
has no `parent()`, so every one of them read as already-downloaded.

**Pinning is the retention control**, and it drives the model the catalog
already had rather than a second one. `tier_desired` is what the user
asked to keep hydrated, `pending_pins` is the resumable work list, and a
pinned collection is never dehydrated for the same reason it was never
evicted. It was in fact *broken* here before: `get` on a stub failed, and
the pin worker logged "one unreadable file must not abandon the whole
pin" and silently did nothing.

Pinned originals on such a library are recorded with `path = NULL`
(`Cache::record_in_place`) rather than copied under `originals/`. Two
reasons, and the second is the important one. A copy would hold every
pinned photograph twice, with the budget able to evict the half that was
not costing the disk. And `release` deletes the file a row names — so a
row that names none cannot delete anything, which puts the one
catastrophic operation out of reach by construction rather than by
remembering not to call it. Deleting a materialised file inside a synced
tree removes the photograph from the server and every other device.

Handing disk back is `spawn_dehydrate`, which asks the client.

Two gaps written down rather than papered over (docs/storage.md §7): a
hydrating pass cannot yet quote its cost, because a stub reports no size;
and the two sweeps hold separate pools, so a library indexed for both
fetches twice.

dtourolle c102ba9df2 Treat a placeholder as the photograph, not as a one-byte file
The folder connector was pointed at a Nextcloud VFS tree and got three
things wrong, the first of which loses work.

**A dehydrated sidecar read as absent.** `a.drsc` does not exist when the
client has dehydrated it — only `a.drsc.nextcloud` does — so `get` missed,
`.ok()` swallowed the `NotFound`, and the sidecar writer took that for
"there is no sidecar yet" and wrote a fresh document over the existing
one. Every edit another device had put there went with it. That function's
own doc comment calls this the exact loss the format's unknown-key
preservation exists to prevent.

**A stub was catalogued as a 1-byte image**, and ARCH §9.0 measured this
machine at 121,785 placeholders against 10,267 real files — so a folder
library on a synced tree was ~92% broken rows.

**Identity changed on hydration**, so downloading a photograph looked like
a delete and an add, orphaning its thumbnail and its face rows.

Entries now carry the photograph's own name and a `materialised` flag;
`get` on a stub returns the new `RemoteError::NotMaterialised`, which is
distinct from `NotFound` precisely because the sidecar writer must treat
them differently — it fetches the sidecar and merges, or leaves the entry
queued.

Hydration is a **borrow**. `BorrowPool` records what was on disk before it
asked, so `release_all` dehydrates only what a pass brought and leaves
what the user already had. Reference counted: the thumbnail pass and the
face pass meet on the same RAW, and without counting the first to finish
dehydrates the file the second is reading. A borrow against a plain folder
or a server does nothing, so a pass written for VFS runs everywhere.

Releasing means asking the client to dehydrate and never deleting: a
deletion inside a synced tree propagates to the server and removes the
photograph from every device.

Not a second backend — the capability is per *connection*, not per type,
since the same folder hydrates only while the client runs. The convention
arrives through a detector the registry supplies, so `dr-sync-folder`
still knows nothing about any client's protocol.

ARCH §9.0a records this as an amendment: finding 3 rejected hydration
because it costs 100× a range read, and that comparison assumed a
connector was available. A folder library has none.
2026-08-29 09:57:52 +02:00
dtourolle f12aece07e Make storage pluggable, and prove it with a folder backend
`RemoteBackend` existed from the first release and bought nothing it was
designed for. Seven files in `dr-ui` constructed a `NextcloudBackend`
directly, an account *was* a server URL beside a DAV user id, the local
cache directory was named after a hostname, and the launch screen knew
that signing in meant a browser handshake. The trait was real; the seam
was documentation.

A trait over operations is only a quarter of it. Pluggable storage needs
four things, and this adds the other three:

- **Capabilities** — already there, and the reason the engine can drive
  two backends at the speed each actually runs at.
- **Configuration** — `dr_sync::Account`: where a library lives, in
  whatever form its connector addresses, with no server in it. Loads
  every existing config unchanged (`backend` defaults to `nextcloud`,
  `endpoint` is stored under its historical `server` key), and
  `Account::namespace()` reproduces the old catalog directory byte for
  byte, because changing it would abandon a catalog, its thumbnail
  shards, and the sidecars holding unsynced offline work.
- **Registration** — `BackendProvider` and `BackendRegistry`.
  `ui/dr-ui/src/remote.rs` is now the only file above `dr-sync` that
  names a connector.

`Connection` (an account plus an optional `Secret`) replaces the
credentials-and-user-id pair that was threaded through fifteen
signatures in an order that could be swapped. `Secret`'s inner string is
reachable only through `expose()` and its `Debug` prints `Secret(***)`,
so the indirect leak — a `{:?}` on anything holding one — no longer
compiles into a leak.

Nextcloud is unchanged and keeps every peculiarity: propagating ETags,
chunked upload v2, `oc:fileid`, the `oc:permissions` probe on a refused
PUT, the 423 retry classification, Login Flow v2. Those are what the
capability model exists to serve, not something to hide.

`dr-sync-folder` is the second connector: a local disk, a network mount,
an external drive, or a folder a Nextcloud client already syncs. No
account, no credential — the route that works where no secrets daemon
does. It declares `LocalEtags` rather than claiming propagation a POSIX
directory cannot provide, which costs nothing because 50k `stat` calls
are not 50k PROPFINDs. Identity is a path hash, not an inode: an inode
survives a rename but differs between devices and is reused after a
delete, so two machines would disagree about which photograph a
thumbnail belonged to. Re-deriving a thumbnail is a cost; showing the
wrong one is a bug.

docs/storage.md is the contract — the traits, the four steps to add a
backend, and what each connector declares. ARCH §8.0 and §8.4a, and
FR-NC-13, say why.
2026-08-29 09:57:52 +02:00
dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 af5a13b3f7 Narrow the grid to several people at once, either way
"Show photos" could only ever mean one person. The two questions a photographer
actually asks are "every picture of Anna or Bob" and "the pictures they are both
in", and the second is not reachable by any sequence of single-person filters —
no amount of switching between one person and another finds the frame they
share.

So the filter holds a *set* of people and a mode. `RatingFilter` was already the
right home, as its own doc says: every query path threads it, so the count in
the header and the cells in the grid are narrowed by the same thing, and this
composes with stars, flags and the date range for free.

The union is `EXISTS ... person_id IN (...)`. The intersection counts
**distinct** people per image and compares against the size of the selection —
one subquery rather than one per person, and it does not grow the statement with
the selection. `DISTINCT` is what makes it correct: three faces of Anna in one
frame must not satisfy a filter asking for Anna and Bob, and there is a test
that says so.

Any rather than All is the default. With one person the modes are the same
filter, and adding a second to a union can only ever show more — so a user who
has not noticed the toggle never ends up staring at an empty grid wondering what
they broke. The toggle only appears at two people, because a control that
demonstrably does nothing is a control that teaches the user to ignore it.

Building the set needs no picker of its own: the Identity screen gains "And
also…" beside "Show photos", offered only once the grid is already narrowed to
somebody. Each person is a chip on the filter bar and each chip removes just
that person, so a selection of three can be taken apart one at a time rather
than only cleared wholesale.

`RatingFilter` stops being `Copy`, since it now holds a `Vec`. Every query path
already took it by reference; the casualties were two struct updates and one
`Cell` that becomes a `RefCell`.

484 dr-ui tests pass, including the union, the intersection, that one person
reads the same in both modes, and the repeated-faces trap.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d6380fecc8 Make the People screen a place work can be done
Five faults, all on one screen, and the Slint and Rust halves of each have to
land together.

**Regroup froze the window.** It ran inside the Slint callback, on the UI
thread. It is much faster now, but fast is not bounded — the work grows with the
library, and the one thing that must not grow with the library is how long the
window stops answering. It runs on a worker thread with an mpsc channel and a
250ms poll, like every other long pass in this module, and the button says what
it is doing instead of the window going quiet. Cancellation is dropping the
receiver. Reclustering also prunes the empty groups the previous pass left, so
pressing the button twice no longer fills the rail with "Unnamed (0 faces)".

**The faces were a single row running off the screen.** The comment on the
layout claimed to be a wrapping row; Slint has no flow layout and a
HorizontalLayout does not wrap, so a person with forty faces was a person whose
faces could not be reviewed past the fifth. It is now laid out the way the
library grid lays out thumbnails, with the same arithmetic: choose how many
columns of roughly the requested size fit, then divide the width between them so
the cells fill the row exactly and nothing overhangs.

**The header did not fit a phone.** A 240px name field beside five buttons is
wider than an Android screen — and worse than not fitting, a layout cannot be
narrower than its children's minimums, so the row reported that oversized
minimum upwards and inflated the whole screen. The faces grid is its sibling, so
it would have been measured against a width that was never on the display. The
header is now two rows, the actions sit in a Flickable that scrolls rather than
overflowing, and the rail narrows to 132px on the compact class.

**Strangers crowded out the people who matter.** Most clusters in a real library
are passers-by and other people's guests. "Not interested" sets a group aside;
the rail hides it and says how many are hidden, with one button to bring them
back. Reversible, and never a deletion — see the catalog commit for why.

**A face was a dead end.** Identifying someone and then having no way to see
their photographs is a filing cabinet with no drawer handles. "Show photos"
narrows the library grid to that person and leaves a chip on the filter bar
saying so, which is also how it is cleared. It is a term on `RatingFilter`
rather than a grid scope of its own, exactly as that struct's own doc says new
narrowing terms should be — so the count and the cells are narrowed by the same
thing, and it composes with the others for free. Suggested faces count, not only
confirmed ones, or a freshly grouped person would show an empty grid.

Crops are read from where they are now stored, falling back to cutting one out
of the proxy for faces indexed before that existed.

480 tests pass.

Master moved 24 commits while this branch was building the face sweep, and one
of them changed how the interface reaches a server: `remote.rs` is now the only
file that names a connector, and everything else takes `&dyn RemoteBackend`.
The face sweep was written before that landed and built a `NextcloudBackend`
directly. Git merged the text without complaint and the result did not compile,
which is the useful kind of conflict — it goes through `remote::connect` now,
like every other pass.

Two documentation conflicts, both resolved toward master. `code-health.md` was
an add/add: master's copy carries the CH resolution for the backend seam and a
better provenance note, so it wins outright, with its measured figures re-taken
against the merged tree rather than either side's — `run()` is 1,855 lines now,
2,042 tests, 793 traceability tags. `traceability.md` is generated, so it was
regenerated rather than hand-merged.

The seam grades in code-health.md are unchanged by this merge. That is worth
noticing rather than glossing: the face work went into the seams that already
existed — `run()`, `library.rs`, `AppWindow` — which is exactly the pressure
CH-1 describes rather than evidence against it.

All four CI jobs pass: desktop (fmt, clippy, test, build), layering, traceability,
and the Android cross-build.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 371038614f Fetch the repairs first, or they never happen
The repair added in 051447b was appended to the work list:

    wanted.extend(repair);

Behind every un-indexed image in the library. On this library that is position
23,000-odd — roughly two hours of fetching before the first repair is reached,
which inside one session is indistinguishable from the feature not existing.
The log said it had found them and the screen stayed empty, which is the worst
combination of the two.

They go first now. There are a few hundred of them against tens of thousands of
un-indexed images, and they are precisely the images the People screen is
failing to draw at this moment — so the ordering costs nothing and is the
difference between the grid filling in within a minute and not filling in at
all.

A failure to build the un-indexed half no longer discards the repairs either:
the pass runs with whatever it has rather than returning empty.

Verified on the live catalog: 455 images hold faces, 251 already have a proxy
from the fixed sweep, and the remaining 204 are what now sits at the front of
the queue. The stored proxies check out — a valid JPEG at the large class,
49 KB — so the storing half of 051447b was already working.

471 tests pass, including one that the orphan is ordered ahead of the library.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 242374fd0f Let the interface hold a backend without knowing whose it is
`dr-sync` defines `RemoteBackend` and a capability model the engine adapts
to, so a second backend can be added without touching the code that uses
one. That boundary was documentation. Seven files in `dr-ui` constructed a
`NextcloudBackend` directly, ten functions took one by concrete type, and
exactly two call sites in the tree — both inside `dr-sync` itself — ever held
the trait object. A WebDAV or local-folder backend would have had a
well-written trait to implement and nowhere to go afterwards.

The change is smaller than the finding suggests, because the trait was
already right. Every method the UI has ever called on a backend — `get`,
`put`, `list`, `delete`, `create_dir`, `move_to` — was already on it, so
nothing had to be added and no behaviour moved. Ten signatures widened to
`&dyn RemoteBackend`, sixteen constructions became `remote::connect`, and
`remote.rs` is now the only file in the interface that names a connector.

`connect` returns `Result<Box<dyn RemoteBackend>, RemoteError>`. The error
type is `dr-sync`'s rather than the connector's, which is why every call site
kept its shape — the `match`, the `let Ok(..) else`, and
`.map_err(ScanFailure::local)?` all still read as they did.

One wrinkle worth recording: `&Box<dyn Trait>` does not reach `&dyn Trait` on
its own. The compiler reaches for unsizing, which wants
`Box<dyn RemoteBackend>: RemoteBackend`, and reports a confusing missing impl
rather than suggesting a deref. Twelve call sites therefore say `&*backend`,
and two say `let backend: &dyn RemoteBackend = &*backend` where a borrow is
shared across lanes.

What this does *not* do is abstract credentials. `AppCredentials` is an app
password from Login Flow v2 — a Nextcloud protocol, not a general notion of
authenticating to a remote — and seven files still name it. An OAuth token, a
bucket key pair and an app password have no useful common shape, so deciding
what an account is across backends before a second one exists would be a
confident guess. code-health.md CH-2 now records that as the remaining half,
and it should wait for the backend that forces it.

Verified: fmt clean, clippy clean at -D warnings, 2041 tests pass.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 051447bda6 Keep the proxy a found face will be cropped from
Every cell on the People screen read "no preview" while the sweep was happily
reporting 893 faces found. Both were true. Faces were being detected and stored
correctly; there was simply nothing left to draw them from.

A face is stored normalised and drawn by cropping the proxy it was found on —
`identity::decode_proxy` reads `FACE_TIER` out of the thumbnail store. The
fetching sweep fetched a preview, detected on it, wrote the faces and dropped
the pixels. So every face it found pointed at a proxy that had never been
stored, and the grid had nothing to cut.

Worse, that state could not repair itself: the image has its `face_index` row,
so it is not outstanding work and no later pass would look at it again.

Two fixes, and the first is nearly free. The sweep now keeps the proxy — it has
already paid the round trip and the decode, and the crop needs those same pixels
the moment the user opens the person. Kept **only where a face was found**:
two thirds of a personal library is landscapes and documents (docs/faces.md
§7a), those will never be cropped, and skipping them keeps this well clear of
the whole-library cost `SWEEP_THUMB_SIZE` deliberately avoids. The downscale to
the large class happens after detection, which is the last use of the full
buffer.

Second, the sweep now picks up images that have faces with no proxy, whatever
put them in that state — this bug, or an ordinary cache eviction, which would
have produced exactly the same empty grid. Re-running detection repairs it and
loses nothing: `record_detections` replaces rather than appends and carries the
user's confirmations across the replacement. That makes the screen
self-healing rather than dependent on nobody ever evicting a thumbnail.

The proxy is stored *before* the detections. A kill between the two then leaves
a proxy with no faces — which the next pass simply re-indexes — rather than
faces with no proxy, which is the state that cannot recover.

Note for the library already part way through a sweep: the 986 images indexed
before this will be picked up by the repair route on the next run.

470 tests pass, including one that a face whose proxy is gone becomes work again.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c8c6368542 Index the whole library by fetching what it has not seen
"Index faces in the whole library" could not. Its work list was intersected
with the thumbnail store at `ThumbSize::Large`, and nothing fills that class for
a whole library — `SWEEP_THUMB_SIZE` is deliberately `Grid`, because the large
class is ~860 MB of shards against ~200 MB and every syncing device pays it. So
the only images with a large proxy were the ones the user had personally zoomed
into or opened in the loupe. On this library that was 220 of 23,529.

The comment defending it misread the requirement:

    // Requesting one here would put face indexing on the network path,
    // which FR-CULL-8 explicitly keeps it off.

FR-CULL-8 keeps indexing off the **full decode**, not the network, and then says
the opposite in the same paragraph: "where no proxy exists, the job requests one
at background priority rather than decoding inline". faces.md §7 repeats it.
Neither was implemented.

So the pass fetches. Same two-stage route the thumbnail sweep uses — the header,
then the located preview's own byte range (FR-NC-3) — so no whole file is pulled
and no RAW is decoded, because an embedded preview is a JPEG. The work list is
now every visible image with no `face_index` row for the model: 23,308 here,
against nearly none before.

**It indexes at the resolution the preview actually has**, not the 1024 the old
tier would have given. `locate_preview` already picks the largest embedded
preview, and the thumbnail sweep was decoding it and throwing the detail away at
`downscale_to(256)`. A face 2% across the frame is 5 px on a grid thumbnail and
~61 px at the cap here — and 112 is what the embedder samples, so this is the
difference between an upsampled crop and a real one. `crop_px` records which,
per face, as §7 intended.

Capped at 3072 rather than truly full: `index_proxy` needs packed `f32` RGB at
12 bytes a pixel, so a 24 MP frame is ~288 MB and the fetch lanes hold one each.
The constant is named and sits next to the reason.

Orientation is applied **before** detection, not after downscaling. That costs a
permutation of a larger buffer — ~15 ms against a ~150 ms decode — and buys the
entire class of bug this codebase keeps having: detection then runs on the
photograph rather than the sensor, so every box and landmark is already in the
space the catalog stores and the overlay draws, with no second mapping to get
backwards.

One detector and one embedder serve every lane. The lanes are concurrent futures
on a single thread, not threads, and inference contains no await, so a `RefCell`
borrow never overlaps another — a pair per lane would duplicate ~16 MB of
weights for no parallelism.

Images with no face in them are recorded too. `face_index` records that
detection *ran*, and zero is its most valuable value: without the row every
landscape and document scan returns on every pass, for ever, and in a personal
library that is most of it (§7a).

The old store-only pass survives as `spawn_store_face_sweep` for
`examples/face_index.rs`, which indexes a local store with no network. The
settings copy no longer claims indexing reads "the photographs already
thumbnailed above", and the audit line says "to fetch" rather than "awaiting a
proxy", which had become a blocker that no longer blocks.

Verified against the real catalog: the new work list returns 23,308 where the
old one returned effectively nothing. 469 tests pass.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 2d95807542 Package the models on every platform, not just the phone
The Android bundling landed the weights under that platform's asset directory,
which was the wrong home the moment a second packager wanted them. `makepkg -si`
produced a desktop install with no model at all — the same "no face model is
installed" the phone used to show, for the same reason: nothing put the files
anywhere the app looks.

So `models/face/` at the root is the one copy, and both packagers read it:
assemble-apk.sh bundles it as APK assets, and the PKGBUILD installs it to
/usr/share/darkroom/models. Both refuse an LFS pointer rather than shipping a
130-byte file that fails inside the graph loader on a user's machine.

`face_models` now searches three places, most specific first: the account's own
directory, the shared user directory, then $XDG_DATA_DIRS. So a packaged pair is
found automatically and a pair the user placed by hand still outranks it — which
is what keeps a deliberate choice of weights from being overridden by an
upgrade.

$XDG_DATA_DIRS rather than a hard-coded /usr/share: that is the variable a
distribution, a prefix install or a Nix-style store already sets to say where
its data went, and its documented default is exactly the two paths that would
otherwise have been hard-coded. Empty on Android, which has no such directories
— there the APK's copy is unpacked into the shared user directory instead,
because an asset inside a package is not a path anything can read from.

Verified: the APK still carries both models at assets/models/, the PKGBUILD
parses and installs from the new path, 467 tests pass.

Includes the pkgver 0.6.0 → 0.7.0 bump that was already sitting uncommitted in
the working tree.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 eaafacc3fb Give the phone the model it had no way to obtain
Face indexing was compiled into the APK all along — dr-ui takes dr-face with
`inference` on every target, so SCRFD, alignment, MBF, calibration and
clustering were all in there. What was missing was the weights, and on Android
there was no way to supply them.

Route C (docs/faces.md §2.2) says the user obtains the model and the app loads
it. On a desktop that is a real gesture: drop two files in
~/.local/share/darkroom/models/ and indexing starts working. On Android it is
not a gesture at all. `internal_data_path` is app-private, `run-as` needs a
debuggable build, and the in-app fetch route C specifies was never built — so
the settings page reported "no face model is installed" on every launch with
nothing behind the message. Not "off until you supply weights"; off.

So the shape-fixed pair goes into LFS under the APK's assets, assemble-apk.sh
copies it into the package, and `android_main` unpacks it to the shared models
directory before anything asks whether a model is present.

Three things that are not incidental:

The models directory is now shared across accounts rather than per-account.
Weights are identified by `faces.model_id`, not by who is signed in, so two
accounts had no reason to hold two copies — and the unpack runs before any
session exists to key a per-account path off. `face_models` still prefers a
per-account directory when one is populated, so anyone mid-migration keeps the
ability to pin one library to its own pair.

The unpack writes under a temporary name and renames. `face_models` decides
availability on `is_file()` alone, so a copy truncated by the process being
killed would leave a file that passes that test and fails inside tract —
reported to the user as a broken model rather than a missing one.

assemble-apk.sh refuses an LFS pointer. At ~130 bytes it looks exactly like a
model to `cp`, and unchecked it reaches the device and fails in the graph
loader instead of telling someone to run `git lfs pull` — the same guard
dr-segment's build script applies to yolo26n-seg.onnx.

The licensing half is unchanged and recorded in §2.2a: the InsightFace grant is
research-only, this is a private repository and a self-installed build, and
these files come back out before anything is published. The weights are still
not a cargo build input — dr-face has no `models/` directory and no
`embedded-model` feature, and nothing in the build reads them. The APK assembly
step copies two files and is the only thing in the tree that knows they exist.

Verified on device: both models unpack on first launch (2524817 and 13616095
bytes) and the APK carries them at assets/models/.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 26a1eb7e28 Record that face detection has run, not just what it found
An image with no faces in it was indistinguishable from one that had
never been looked at, so every landscape, still life and document scan in
the library was re-detected on every pass, for ever. In a real library
that is most of it: on the 23,527-image test library, 64 of the first 110
images indexed contain no face at all.

Schema v9 adds face_index, a run marker per (image, model) carrying the
face count and the proxy edge it read. Keyed on the model, so a model
change puts every image back in the queue by itself.

That makes a coverage figure possible, which is the thing a user actually
wants to see. The audit also splits the outstanding set by whether a
proxy exists, because 23,417 awaiting a proxy and 110 ready to index are
different problems, and telling the user to run indexing again would not
fix the first.

The Identity screen gains Index faces, Stop, and the coverage line.
examples/face_index.rs is the same check and sweep without a window,
which is the right shape for an overnight pass.

Measured on the real library in release: 3.5 images/second, 110 images
and 125 faces in 30 seconds, and a second run correctly finds nothing
left to do.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 3b5952769b Emit floats an f32 can hold, and drop the format! that formats nothing
CI runs cargo fmt --check and clippy -D warnings, and this branch had
never been through either. Both would have failed it.

The bulk was the generated colour tables: eight significant figures where
an f32 carries about 7.2, so the eighth is noise that rounds away at
compile time and clippy's excessive_precision says so 109 times over.
Fixed in the generator rather than only in the file, so it stays fixed --
and the file is trimmed in place rather than re-derived, because
regenerating it needs a colour-science stack that has nothing to do with
the defect.

The format! in the composer is mine too, from extracting the rendering
tail: the braces in it were escaped because the text used to live inside a
larger template, and once extracted the escapes are noise and the call
formats nothing.

Also here, and clearly not mine: an unused import and a shadowed binding
in dr-gpu, and an unused import in a test. They are pre-existing --
clippy has been failing on master before this branch existed, on lints
like is_multiple_of that arrived with a toolchain rather than with
anyone's code. Fixed because CI cannot go green around them, and called
out because a merge commit is a bad place to quietly edit someone else's
crate.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 6d6ef8d34b Page the grid along an index instead of sorting the library each time
Scrolling jittered, and this was the largest single reason. Every window the
grid loads is `ORDER BY ... LIMIT n OFFSET k`, and neither half of that was
being answered the cheap way.

**The sort.** `GRID_ORDER` leads with `captured_at IS NULL`, so undated frames
fall to the end. No ordinary index answers that — the leading term is an
expression, not a column — so SQLite sorted the whole library into a temp
b-tree on every window read, then threw away the first `k` rows of it. Schema
V7 indexes the expression exactly as the query writes it, partial on the same
`shadowed_by IS NULL AND trashed_at IS NULL` the grid filters by, so the read
becomes a walk along the index.

**The join.** `LEFT JOIN remote` was paged *after* it was joined, so reading
280 cells at offset 20,000 first seeked into `remote` for all 24,000 rows and
then discarded 23,720 of them. The file ids are now fetched for the 280 rows
that survived — the shape the badge and rating reads already use, one query for
the window rather than one per cell.

Measured together on 24,000 images at offset 20,000: **15.2 ms → 0.36 ms**,
inside a scroll handler that has 16.7 ms to draw a frame.

The test asserts on the query plan rather than on a duration, because there is
no other symptom. A `GRID_ORDER` edited out of step with the index, or a column
added back that drags `remote` in again, both still return exactly the right
cells — just after sorting the library — and the jitter would come back with
nothing to point at.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 baa8957e80 Let a photographer choose the film, and remember which one
The stock model rendered correctly and nothing could ask for it. This is
the picker, and the sidecar key that makes the choice outlive the session.

How the choice persists was the open question, and the answer was already
written down twice in sidecar.rs: `rating` is a top-level key "because a
rating is not an edit", and `masks` are one "because a layer is not a
scalar". A stock is that kind of thing -- a choice of material, not a
number a slider moves -- so it is a top-level key too.

It stores the **id**, not an index. Stocks are files that users add, so an
index would mean installing a profile silently changed which film every
existing photograph had been developed on. A name this build has no
profile for still round-trips untouched, because the alternative is that
syncing to an older phone quietly un-develops the picture.

Only the names travel. Turning one back into tables needs the profile
database, which dr-pipeline deliberately does not link, so `Version::apply`
clears the film and the session re-bakes -- after the parameters, because
the bake reads the film's own exposure sliders and the print balance is
solved against them. That is also why moving those sliders rebuilds the
lookup where no other control in the panel does: an enlarger's filtration
depends on how the negative was exposed.

The panel keeps its rule. It still names no operation and still generates
every control from a declared parameter kind; the stock gets a bespoke
control beside those, exactly as the mask stack does, and for the same
reason. The film's exposure and print exposure arrive as ordinary
generated sliders.

Two defaults worth stating. Picking a colour negative prints it, because
an unprinted one is an orange strip and offering that as the first thing
somebody sees after choosing Portra reads as a bug rather than as a
choice -- the toggle is there for anyone who wants the scan. And a paste
carries no film: a preset is a parameter map, and a stock is not a
parameter, so pasting one would paste a choice the clipboard never took.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 54f9cb54fb Take the whole run a shift-click names, not the part that happens to be loaded
Shift-clicking two photographs selected only the cells between them that were
in the loaded window. The grid is a window of a hundred or so over a library of
twenty thousand, and `apply_press` resolved the range against that window —
`ids[lo_row..=hi_row]`, clamped to what was there. Everything else in the run
had no id anywhere in the UI, so it was silently dropped. The user cannot see
that: the selection count is off screen along with the photographs, and the
gesture only announces itself when the drop files a dozen images instead of two
hundred.

The two ends are *ordinals*, and only the catalog knows what lies between them.
`read_ids_span` asks it, through the same predicates, the same rating filter and
the same ordering the window itself is read with — an ordinal names a photograph
only relative to an ordering, so a run taken through any other one is a run
through a different library. That ordering is now a constant, `GRID_ORDER`,
shared by the window, the trash's own order beside it, and the run: capture time
first, with the file name breaking ties and nothing more. A card written by two
cameras interleaves names that have nothing to do with each other, and what
"everything between these two" means to a photographer is a stretch of an
afternoon.

The query is reached through a closure handed to `CollectionsController` at
wiring time rather than a catalog handle, because the scope and the filter that
bound the run belong to the grid's controller. `apply_press` stays a pure
function of what it is given, which is what keeps the selection rules testable
with no library open — and the tests pass a run that reads a plain slice. Where
there is nothing to ask, the loaded window is still used: a poorer answer than
the catalog's and a far better one than a gesture that appears to do nothing.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 fa4ad6e2d6 Drag the date range on the axis it is chosen from
The range could be turned on with a finger and not aimed with one. Its two
ends were typed as `YYYY-MM-DD` into 108px fields behind a soft keyboard, to
name days already drawn on the axis a thumb away; and the chip that seeds them
takes its span from the timeline's zoom and pan, which are a wheel and a middle
button. A touch screen has neither, so on Android the filter was a switch with
no aim.

The band is now on the timeline. Two ends with grips, dragged along the bars,
released to filter — the histogram was already how a period is found, and this
makes it how a period is stated. Both ends snap to whole days, which is what
the typed fields mean, what `show_range` reads back out, and a floor under a
range dragged shut. The fields stay for what dragging cannot do: name an exact
day, and say in words what the range is.

For that to work the axis had to stop following the range. Redrawn to the band,
it moved the ground under the very handles doing the narrowing, and there was
nothing outside the range left to widen back into.

While there: a fixed number of equal bins instead of calendar buckets. Between
one calendar unit and the next the bar count is free to wander by a factor of
twelve, so zooming in halved it two steps out of three — the same picture drawn
wider until it jumped back to fine. Equal bins also include the empty ones, so
a bar's position on the track and the date under it are finally the same
quantity; before, a library with gaps drew a February six months wide and the
marker, the band and a click all pointed somewhere else. The count is a
setting, 32 or 64, because the right answer is a question about the screen.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 fbf286d504 Keep the mask when the photograph is closed
A local adjustment survived until the session ended and then did not exist.
Nothing reported it, because nothing had failed.

The sidecar format has carried masks since they were added, `Version::apply`
restores them into the graph, and `Version::update` captures them — that work
landed complete and was never called. The autosave writes `copy_settings()`,
which is a `Preset`: a map from (operation, parameter) to a number. A mask is
not a parameter. It is a rule about *where*, with a chain of its own, so it
fell outside the only thing being written, and the read path had nothing to
read.

The save now carries the stack beside the preset, on both the local and the
remote path. Deliberately not merged but replaced wholesale: this is the stack
as it stands, so a layer the user deleted has to leave the file too. Merging
two devices' stacks is `Sidecar::merge`'s job and belongs to sync (FR-NC-9).

A paste still carries no masks, and the `Option` is how that is said. Settings
travel between photographs; a mask does not, because it is drawn against one
frame and describes nothing on another — and `Scope` cannot express that,
since it filters parameters and a mask is not one.

The test fails against the old save path with "the mask must come back with
the photograph", which is the whole of the defect: not a crash, not an error,
just an edit that was not there in the morning.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d91f1ec277 Thumbnail the whole library on request, and send the shards up
The grid fetches a preview only for cells that are actually browsed, which is
the right posture over a link that must not be saturated to show one screen
(FR-NC-3). The cost is that the thumbnail store ends up holding the fraction of
the library someone happened to scroll past — and that store is the one derived
thing worth syncing, since a second device that downloads the shards gets a
full grid without touching a single RAW. So the complete set is worth an hour
of range fetches paid once, deliberately, on a machine that can afford it.

That is what this adds: a pass over every visible image with an `oc:fileid`,
launched from the settings page and reported in the activity register like
every other background job. The work list is what the store lacks rather than a
flag in the catalog, so it is resumable by construction and safe to press
twice.

Lane-parallel like the metadata sweep, but it does what that sweep declined to.
The store is `&mut` and cannot cross lanes, which is why dating the library
skips thumbnails entirely; here the lanes fetch, decode and *encode*, and only
the ~20 KB result crosses back to the one thread that owns the store and writes
the chunk. The parallelism is real and the single-writer rule is not bent.

Grid class only. The large class is ~860 MB of shards against ~200 MB on the
reference library, paid by every device that syncs them; a photograph looked at
closely still gets its large thumbnail from the interactive path.

Dates come free — the header a preview needs is the header EXIF lives in — and
the pass ends by pushing the shards to the server. A filled store that never
leaves this device would be most of the cost for none of the point.
