dtourolle	2cd49d1cb7	Measure the rail by counting it, so it can scroll instead of clipping ... With the adjustment groups in the rail, a short window silently lost them. At a 1500x680 window the rail drew Photo, Compose, Local, Repair, the seam and "All", and then stopped: Optics, Light, Colour, Effects and Detail were not scrolled off, they were gone, with nothing on screen to say so. The develop view's primary navigation, unreachable by any means. The Flickable was put here to prevent exactly that, and it could not, because its viewport asked the layout how tall it wanted to be while the layout was already taking its height from the viewport. Slint settles that cycle by handing back the height it was given, so `max(self.height, preferred-height)` could never exceed `self.height` and there was never anything to scroll. Counting breaks the cycle. Every entry here is a fixed height by construction — a tool is `rail-entry-height`, a group is a touch target — so the content is six plus four fifty-fours plus a gap plus a touch target for each group and "All", which is exact rather than an estimate and depends on nothing that depends on it. Four tools and five groups come to 498, against the 340 a 680-pixel window leaves at 2x, and the difference is now scrollable rather than absent. Found by shrinking the window with the groups forced into the rail. The interaction itself is unverified: synthetic input does not reach a Slint window on this desktop, and the tablet was disconnected, so what is confirmed is the arithmetic and the clipping it explains, not the scrolling it should restore.	2026-09-07 00:17:08 +02:00
dtourolle	3dc7c184ee	Optimise for release only, since every edit pays for a dev build ... Dependencies were built at `opt-level = 2` even in dev, because wgpu and image decoding are slow without it. That is still true, and it is what this gives up: a debug run of the app, and the decode- and GPU-heavy tests, are slower than they were. What it buys is that nothing has to be optimised before it can be compiled. That cost was paid on every edit, in every worktree, whether or not anything was ever run — and there are sixteen worktrees, each with its own target directory and no shared cache, so it was paid sixteen times over. `[profile.release]` is untouched: `lto = "thin"` and `codegen-units = 1` still apply where the speed is actually wanted. If one crate turns out to be the one that makes a test unbearable, raise that crate alone rather than restoring the blanket rule; the manifest says how. Incremental compilation is now on as well, but that lives in `.cargo/config.toml`, which is untracked and per-checkout — so it is a local change on this machine, not part of this commit.	2026-09-06 20:17:53 +02:00
dtourolle	3f6dbce2aa	Name a lone control after its operation, so three cannot all read "Amount" ... The Detail group ended with three consecutive sliders labelled "Amount" and nothing to tell them apart. They are dehaze, clarity and texture: each declares exactly one parameter, and `ops/README.md` tells an author to reach for the `amount` kind first, so all three named it the same thing. The panel withholds a heading from a group of one, and the reasoning it gives is sound — a lone control names itself, and the group reset it loses costs nothing because the slider already resets on double-click. But that argument rests on the parameter being named after what it does. It holds for exposure, contrast, vibrance, saturation and brilliance, whose single parameter shares the operation's name, and it fails for the three whose parameter is called after its kind rather than its subject. So a lone parameter now takes its operation's label — the name the withheld heading would have carried. For the five that already agreed, nothing changes. Found on the tablet, and only there: every row was correct, every label resolved, and the panel was still unusable. The test that guards it asserts over the real chain rather than a fixture, because the fault was a property of what is actually declared — a fixture would have had to be written to reproduce it, and would then only have proved itself.	2026-09-06 19:01:54 +02:00
dtourolle	124b2d99c6	Take the first control that moves the picture, not the first one drawn ... `showing_the_original_leaves_the_edit_exactly_as_it_was` set row zero to its maximum and then asserted the photograph was modified. It was not, and the test failed on its own premise rather than on the thing it exists to check. `EditGraph::capabilities` puts the lens corrections at the head of the list, matching where they sit in the shader. Those carry profile coefficients rather than parameters, so with no profile loaded a slider on one is a control with nothing behind it: the graph stays neutral and the premise assertion fires. The test was written against a panel whose first row happened to be an adjustment, and it stopped being one. So it now walks the rows until it finds a control that actually changes the edit, which is what it meant by "row zero" all along. Still addressed by index, so it still names no operation, and it no longer depends on where in the chain the first *adjustment* happens to sit.	2026-09-06 19:01:53 +02:00
dtourolle	3994caba12	Write down the develop gestures, since only their author knew them ... FR-UI-4 says a gesture with no visible counterpart is a feature only its author knows about, and the vocabulary the application actually publishes had two sections in it — the library grid and people. Develop had none. Every one of its gestures was documented in the comment beside the `TouchArea` that implements it, which is where the previous sixteen were before this scanner existed, and unreachable to anybody not reading the source. Thirteen now carry tags: magnify by pinch or wheel, pan a magnified frame, fit and 1:1, hold to see the original, sample a neutral, undo and redo, step through the folder, reset one control, show or hide a mask layer, choose a group of adjustments, and copy and paste the settings. Each has a pointer and a touch route, so none of them is keyboard-only. Three bindings were genuinely missing and are added here rather than merely described. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V for the settings clipboard, which the Settings panel's own comment has claimed existed for as long as the panel has and nothing bound; and [ and ] to step through the adjustment groups. The groups are whatever the operation set declares itself to be about, so there are as many as the pipeline has and no key can name one of them — stepping is the binding that survives a node being added, and "everything" is part of the cycle rather than a way out of it. Two are described and not bound. Resetting a control from the keyboard and toggling a mask layer from the keyboard both need a notion of which control or layer has focus, and the generated panel has none — the rows are a model the repeater rebuilds, and inventing a focus ring for them is a larger change than a keyboard shortcut. Both are reachable by pointer and by finger, and the tags say so rather than promising a key that is not there.	2026-09-06 19:01:52 +02:00
dtourolle	901f51e6c4	Point at something grey and let the pipeline work out the rest ... FR-DEV-3 has asked for "white balance (temperature/tint, and picker)" since it was written, and only the first half existed. `WidgetKind::WhitePoint` was in the vocabulary and `develop::supported` answered false for it, so the node degraded to two sliders — correct behaviour that had quietly become the only behaviour. Sampling a neutral is the first move of the global tonal pass and every colour judgement afterwards is measured against where the grey was put, so guessing at two sliders until a wall stops looking green is the wrong way round. The awkward part is that a picker genuinely needs to know how far a hundred units of temperature move red against blue, and that number is declared in the node's own file. So the inversion lives in `dr_pipeline::neutral` rather than in the interface: the canvas hands over a colour, the core finds the operation that asked to be driven by a pixel and bisects its declared response until the sample comes back grey. Nothing in `ui/` names white balance, and nothing holds a second copy of a response that would be wrong the first time somebody adjusted the range. A bisection rather than a closed-form inverse because only monotonicity is part of the bargain — the expression is free to become a table tomorrow. The result is rounded to the precision the control is drawn at, which is not cosmetic: unrounded, sampling something already neutral lands a ten-thousandth off zero, and the photograph comes back modified with an undo step for a correction of nothing. On the panel side this needed one distinction the generated path was missing. `is_on_canvas` was being read as "and so the panel draws nothing for it", which is right for a crop — four edge fractions are not controls anyone drags in a list — and wrong for an eyedropper, which *writes* temperature and tint and leaves them exactly the controls a photographer reaches for next. So a sampling widget keeps its sliders and puts the affordance that arms the canvas in the group's heading, built like the reset beside it. One click, one sample, one history step: `Edit::Action` never coalesces, and there is no hover preview to fill the stack with temperatures nobody chose. Declaring the presentation also groups temperature and tint under one undo step, where they were two. That follows from what `Presentation` means and reads correctly — white balance is one decision — but it is a change, and worth saying so.	2026-09-06 19:01:52 +02:00
dtourolle	2584b9ecbc	Hold one key to see the photograph before you touched it ... FR-DEV-7 asks for the current edit against the unedited original and nothing implemented it. What the develop view had was history navigation, which *changes* the edit rather than previewing against it — so the only way to look was to undo, look, and redo, and that puts two real steps on the stack at exactly the moment a photographer suspects they have overcooked a frame and is least sure of what they are doing. Holding the "Before" button, or backslash, renders the graph with every adjustment stripped and hands it straight back afterwards: the same suspend-render-restore shape the crop overlay already uses to show an uncropped frame and an export uses to suspend the zoom. Nothing is recorded, no rows are re-synced, and the photograph is still modified when the key comes up — the panel goes on describing the edit the photographer has, because only the canvas is answering a question. The framing deliberately stays on. A held comparison is a question about tone and colour, and re-cropping the canvas under someone's thumb would move the detail they are comparing; worse, the zoom is a rectangle of the *framed* image, so dropping the crop at 4× would quietly show a different part of the photograph rather than the same part unedited. What the crop took away is already compared in Compose, which shows the whole frame. Not a split screen: that halves the working image on the tablet this column was sized for, and the comparison photographers describe making is a flick back and forth rather than two pictures side by side. Press-and-hold is one gesture on a finger and on a mouse, which is what FR-DEV-3b's mapping wants, and it has no mode to be stranded in — the button reports both edges, so a press the system cancels puts the original down too.	2026-09-06 19:01:51 +02:00
dtourolle	9b674a88d8	Let the photographer look at the pixels, and keep looking ... Noise reduction and capture sharpening are judgements about individual pixels, and at a fitted view several of the file's pixels are averaged into each one on screen. The frame therefore looks cleaner and softer than it is, the photographer corrects for a softness the display invented, and over-sharpening is the documented result. Nothing in the develop view reached 1:1 at all: the wheel and the pinch zoom by ratios, the double tap dropped straight to fit, and the only readout was a percentage nobody was aiming at. So the double tap now does what FR-UI-4 always said it did — toggle fit and 1:1 — and the zoom readout, which used to be a dead "Fit" button on a fitted photograph, becomes the way in when there is nothing to clear. Z does the same from the keyboard, and the back gesture goes out through the same toggle so putting the magnifier down really puts it down. 1:1 is computed from the file's own resolution against the viewport rather than fixed at some multiple, because that is the only version of it that answers the question the two detail controls are asking. The point being inspected and whether the magnifier is up are held beside the session rather than in it, on the argument focus peaking already makes: a session is one photograph and this is a way of looking at a folder of them. Checking the same eye across forty portraits is the reason to reach 1:1 in the first place, and a magnification that reset with the session would make that forty zooms and forty pans instead of forty keystrokes. It stays a viewing state throughout — the view is kept out of `is_active`, `output_size`, the sidecar and the export, and an export still suspends it — so none of this reaches the file.	2026-09-06 19:01:50 +02:00
dtourolle	43652bd613	Say where the positives really come from, not where they were going to ... `calibrate.rs` claimed its positive pairs came from user confirmations "then burst siblings, since FR-CULL-5 already groups bursts", and repeated it beside the pair floor: "the positives are bootstrapped from bursts and a handful of early confirmations". Neither is true and neither ever has been. Nothing in the workspace pushes a burst pair into a `Pairs`; nothing pushes any pair at all outside this file's own tests. The sentence was written while both halves of docs/faces.md §8.1 were being planned together, describing a source that was going to exist, and it has read since as a description of what the code does. The distinction matters more here than in most comments, because this file is the one place in the subsystem allowed to say what a similarity *means*. A reader who believes the fit is drawing on bursts believes a young library is gathering positives on its own, which is precisely the opposite of the state FR-CULL-9 legislates for — a library with no fit, no valid calibration, and a reference curve it must not present as a measurement of itself. The floor of 200 positive pairs looks arbitrary under the wrong story and obvious under the right one: confirmations arrive one at a time, from a person. So the comment now says what is here — a positive is a pair confirmed onto one person, and there is no second source — and keeps the burst idea where it belongs, as §8.1's proposal, with the two reasons it is not in the code: this crate is handed cosines and cannot see a catalog, and the purity of a burst pair is a thing to measure before it is a thing to trust. No behaviour changes; the arithmetic is untouched.	2026-09-06 19:01:50 +02:00
dtourolle	1c5c55b4c9	Let the photographer say which frame the burst stands for ... `choose_representative` has been in the catalog since the grouping landed, with tests behind it and nothing calling it. So the frame a folded burst drew was always the earliest one, and the only way to disagree was to open the group and leave it open — which is to say there was no way to disagree at all, because a burst that stays open is a burst that was never collapsed. The earliest frame is the right default and it is deliberately not a judgement: nothing here scores a photograph, and FR-CULL-5 names the failure that rule avoids. But the whole point of a burst is that one of the twelve is better than the other eleven, and the person who knows which is the one looking at them. So a ring on each frame of an open group, ticked on the one the group folds to. It is drawn only while the burst is open, because that is the one moment the alternatives are on screen to be compared — offering the choice on a folded burst would be asking about frames it is hiding. Bottom right, opposite the count in the other corner, clear of the flag and the collection badge and, deliberately, of the trash target: a slip between the ring and the fifth star sets a rating, which is the harmless direction for an ambiguous press. The mark stays live on the frame that already wears it. A disabled TouchArea would let the press fall through to the cell behind it, so tapping the one ring that is ticked would have opened the photograph — and pressing it is a thing the user may mean anyway: it records the choice the default was making silently, which then survives a regroup that finds an earlier frame. Choosing repaints the badges instead of reloading the window, which is what separates it from folding a group up. Folding changes what the grid's query returns; this changes only which cell wears the tick, and the tick has to leave the frame that was carrying it, so the whole window is refilled in the one statement `sync_badges` already runs. The gesture is documented where FR-UI-4 requires it to be documented: in a tagged comment beside the control, which is the only copy. The gesture book, the gesture document and the requirements matrix are regenerated from the tree alongside it.	2026-09-06 19:01:49 +02:00
dtourolle	5fa4c0772b	Speak the sidecar format every other editor already reads ... FR-CAT-13 asked for standard XMP and nothing in the tree parsed or wrote a byte of it. `keywords.rs` mentioned `dc:subject` in a comment about what a keyword's text is for, `dr-export`'s metadata module said "neither is read by `dr-decode` today" about its own half, and `dr-preset-xmp` reads a different file for a different requirement. So a library imported from Lightroom could come in and never go back out: a one-way door, which is not a thing a photographer walks their archive through. `core/dr-xmp` reads and writes the properties the requirement names — `dc:subject`, `lr:hierarchicalSubject`, `xmp:Rating`, `xmp:Label` and the IPTC core fields — from whichever shape the file happens to use. A property may arrive as an attribute or as an element, inside a Bag, a Seq, an Alt or no container at all, because the specification is not what wrote the file; so one collector takes whatever is in a property and the declared shape decides only how many values survive. `xmp:Rating="-1"` is modelled as Adobe's rejection rather than folded into zero stars, since DarkRoom keeps those on two axes and the mapping belongs where both are visible. Writing is a rewrite rather than a serialisation, and that is the whole design. An XMP sidecar is a shared document: the file beside a raw carries somebody else's `crs:` settings and comments and namespaces, and rendering our record over it would be data loss on every photograph but the first. The rule is stated once, in the crate documentation and in `PROPERTIES`: DarkRoom owns exactly those properties, identified by namespace URI and never by prefix, and nothing else in the document. Everything unowned is copied through byte for byte. A `Description` left empty once our properties come out of it is withdrawn, which is what keeps a rewrite idempotent instead of adding a husk to the file on every save. Precedence is settled conservatively, because a standard XMP carries no revision and no device and there is nothing in it to order two edits by. Keywords union, following the rule `dr_catalog::merge` already makes for assignments; every other field is taken only where DarkRoom holds none, following `Version::merge`'s judgement rule, and a genuine disagreement is reported rather than resolved so a caller can offer the reload the requirement asks for. What is deliberately left open — when a reload may happen without asking — is written down in the module rather than picked silently. No new dependency: quick-xml was already in the tree for WebDAV and for Lightroom presets. Nothing above the crate calls it yet, and `outstanding.md` now says so along with the two smaller gaps, GPS and the filename convention.	2026-09-06 19:01:48 +02:00
dtourolle	68ebf5d78b	Let a mask start from a tone or a colour, not only a shape ... Every local adjustment began from a shape: painted, drawn with a handle, or found by a model. So the only way to hold back a sky was to draw a line near where it ended, and the only way to warm skin was to paint round it — both of which put the edit's edge where the photographer put a gesture rather than where the picture changes. A gradient across a treeline halos, and an adjustment traced round a face stops on the outline of a hand. MaskSource grows two variants that select by what a pixel *is*. Luminance carries two bounds on the perceptual tone scale plus a softness; Colour carries an arc of hue, a range of chroma, and one softness for every edge of both. Five floats and three, so they diff, sync and merge per field under FR-NC-9 exactly as a gradient's geometry does — the property a stored raster has none of, and the reason the model's coverage had to sit beside its source rather than inside it. The pixels are the shader's business and nowhere else's. `mask.wgsl` takes the demosaiced source as a sixth binding and two new modes read it: decode, balance, pull a clipped photosite back to neutral, apply the camera matrix, then weigh the band. Nothing crosses to the CPU but the numbers and the matrix, and each mask texel averages its own footprint in the source, so a band lands on the tone an area is rather than on whichever texel a proxy grid happened to land on. The photograph it measures is the one the camera recorded, before this edit. A band over the edited result would slide out from under the edit as the edit was made — raising the highlights would change which pixels counted as highlights, and the slider would chase its own mask. Feather, falloff and morphology stay off a range layer, which is what `shapeable` already meant. All three are functions of the signed distance from a boundary, and a range has no boundary to be at a distance from; its edge is the softness of its own band, in the band's units. Offering them would be four controls that move and change nothing.	2026-09-06 19:01:48 +02:00
dtourolle	81b1ae8c42	Measure the haze from the picture, and divide it back out ... Four files named dehaze as a member of the compositional detail family — `detail.rs` twice, `dr-gpu`'s detail module, `ops/README.md` and `capture_sharpen.rs` — and no such node existed. Every one of them was describing the family by listing clarity, texture and a control the photographer could not reach. Haze is the one degradation the controls already in the chain cannot remove, and the reason is spatial rather than tonal. Scattering composites an airlight over the scene in proportion to distance, so the lift is per-pixel: a black point that clears the mountains crushes the foreground, and a contrast curve that clears the mountains does the same. So the node has to estimate the transmission at every pixel, which is the dark-channel prior — the local minimum over the channels and over a patch is the airlight that has been added there — and then invert the scattering model with it. The airlight is taken as neutral and as unit, which removes the one part of the published method this stage cannot perform. Estimating it properly is a whole-frame reduction, and the detail chain has none: it hands each pass the pass before it. It is also unnecessary, because white balance is the first node in the chain and has already driven the illuminant to grey, so only the magnitude is unknown — and an unknown magnitude on the veil is a scale factor on the amount slider, which the photographer is setting by eye regardless. The patch is a fraction of the frame's shorter edge, through `RenderScale::frame_fraction`, and never a count of pixels. It has to be wide enough to contain something dark and narrow enough that what it measures is still local, and both of those are statements about how much of the composition it covers — so it must cover the same proportion of the picture on a proxy as in the export, or the file is sharpened for a patch three times narrower than the one that was tuned on screen. Affording it needs an identity a Gaussian does not have. Erosions compose by adding their structuring elements, so the minimum over a run of d followed by the minimum over k points spaced d apart is the exact minimum over the whole kd window. At the square root that is 16 taps rather than 61 at 4K, and it is the same filter rather than an approximation of one — which is the difference from the strided kernel `local_contrast` refuses, where sampling an image that is not band-limited aliases into the base and comes back as mottling. It runs first among the compositional detail nodes, at order 125: after noise reduction, because dividing by a transmission below one amplifies the noise in the veiled distance by exactly the factor it recovers the contrast by, and before clarity and texture, coarse before fine, so that their base is computed on the picture the veil has left rather than on a modelling about to be divided out. What it cannot honour is the placement dehaze most wants. It shifts colour — it subtracts a grey term and rescales, so saturation changes wherever the veil is thick — and the colour work would ideally be correcting the picture that leaves here. The detail stage runs as a group after every point operation, because a neighbourhood pass is a separate dispatch over a texture the fused pass has finished writing, so an order placing this node ahead of `vibrance` would be a lie the chain cannot tell. Interleaving would mean splitting the fused pass in half around it, at the cost of a second full-frame dispatch and intermediate for every edit in the catalogue whether it dehazes or not. The declaration records that rather than leaving it to be rediscovered. FR-DEV-18 is added to the requirements register alongside it. The tag had nowhere to point, and an orphan tag fails the traceability gate rather than quietly counting for nothing.	2026-09-06 19:01:47 +02:00
dtourolle	7c3e1d2c54	Let the shadows and the highlights carry a colour the picture never had ... The colour mixer is the only chromatic control in the chain, and it can only turn a hue that is already in the frame. Ask it for cool shadows against warm highlights and it has nothing to take hold of: the shadows of a correctly balanced photograph are near enough neutral that there is no band there to turn, and a monochrome conversion hands it a picture with no hue in it at all. Split toning is the oldest look in the book and every developer worth comparing against ships it; there was no way to reach it from here. So colour_grading, declared like any other node — a hue and a strength for the shadows, the midtones and the highlights, and a global cast over the frame. It targets a tonal range rather than a hue, which is the whole difference between the two controls: it puts colour where none was rather than turning what it finds. It sits at 105, after the mixer has had the last word on the colours that are in the picture and before the detail stage. The mechanism is one helper. Three cosines 120 degrees apart are the hue wheel written directly as an RGB direction, and their sum is zero at every angle, so exp2 turns them into three gains whose product is exactly one — a cast tilts the balance without moving the level. A grade that doubled as an exposure change is the failure that has the photographer chasing brightness with a colour slider, and it is corrected with a control that cannot reach it. The three tonal weights partition the scale rather than overlapping, the midtones being whatever the two ends leave, so setting all three to one hue is exactly the global cast and a split tone does not colour its own midtones as a side effect of its halves meeting. Full strength is half a stop on the leading channel, the ceiling white balance already holds itself to. Neutral is declared rather than inferred, which is what `active:` is for. A hue with no strength behind it is a direction with no distance, so under the default rule nudging one would have put the node into every fused shader for a change nobody can see. Summing the strengths is zero exactly when all four are, and they cannot go negative to cancel each other. The opposite reading — neutral as "nothing has been touched" — fails the other way round: red is hue zero, so a grade toward red never moves a hue off its default and would never have been applied at all. It asks for a colour wheel, the widget the descriptor vocabulary has been carrying with no operation behind it. Nothing draws one yet, and that is fine by construction: the panel takes the first widget it implements and falls through to sliders otherwise, so this arrives as eight ordinary controls that work. Each parameter is named for its own range for exactly that reason — in a flat list, four sliders called "Hue" are four controls nobody can tell apart. FR-DEV-12 is written into requirements.md beside it. A TRACES tag naming a requirement that is not defined there is an orphan, and the traceability gate fails on those rather than quietly counting them. The label catalogue gets one line for the operation's display name; the eight parameters derive correctly and are left to.	2026-09-06 18:51:40 +02:00
dtourolle	efa9d84aad	Correct the lens first and settle the grain last ... `Attribute::ALL` has claimed since it was written to be roughly the order a photographer works in, and 474dcf0 moved `Compose` to the front on exactly that argument. Both ends went on contradicting it. `Optics` sat fifth, so the column offered the lens corrections after the tones they change. Removing a vignette brightens the frame; an exposure judged before that correction has to be judged again after it, which is the definition of the wrong order. `Detail` sat fourth, so sharpening and noise reduction — the only work here that depends on everything above it, and the only work that cannot be judged at fit view at all — were offered before the lens had even been put right. So `Optics, Compose, Tone, Colour, Effect, Detail`. `Optics` leads even `Compose` because it is not a decision about the photograph at all: it is undoing what the equipment did, a property of the capture rather than a choice. `Effect` after `Colour` is a look laid over a settled picture, and is the one slot that is genuinely arguable — a spectral film simulation declares `renders` and replaces the base curve, which is a case for treating it as foundational instead, and e235e99 filed film under `Effect` only days ago. The doc comment records that tension rather than pretending to settle it; an array of six cannot say "last, except when it is first". `decl::Attr::ALL` moves with it. It is the second spelling of one vocabulary, compiled by `build.rs` where `descriptor` is not visible, and the agreement test in `declared/mod.rs` zips the two positionally — that test is what caught the last reorder, and it would have caught this one. Nothing persists a position in this list, which is what makes the reorder safe rather than merely tidy. `Scope` packs one bit per attribute indexed by `Attribute::ALL`, but `bits` is private, has no accessor and no `serde`; what reaches a settings file is `develop.copy_attributes`, a list of names read back through `Attribute::from_name`. A photographer's copy scope survives untouched — only the order the names happen to be written in changes. 6a97fdf is why this is worth a commit now rather than a shrug: the contradiction was harmless while the list only fed a row of chips nobody reads in order, and stopped being harmless when the same list began driving a column read top to bottom. The matrix follows the two files' shifted line numbers.	2026-09-05 21:17:56 +02:00
dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	59917c5183	Call the tool Compose, since that is what its panel says ... The rail entry read "Crop" while the panel it opens is headed COMPOSE and the button leaving it said "Done Cropping". One mode, three names, and the odd one out was named after a single control rather than after the decision — which is what made cropping look like a category of its own in the first place. Straightening, the quarter turns and the flips are already in that panel, and perspective will be. `ViewMode.crop` keeps its name: it identifies a canvas interaction, which is exactly what it still is. Found by looking at the running application rather than by reading, which is also how the two halves of this were noticed to disagree at all.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	e235e99cce	Move the film to Effect in the descriptor that is actually read ... An earlier commit claimed to move `film_sim` from `[tone, colour]` to `[effect]` and did not. It edited `ops/film_sim.yaml`, where `attributes:` is read, validated against the vocabulary, and then dropped: a `rust:` node publishes its own descriptor, and the type still said tone and colour. The stock went on appearing in the Light group beside exposure and again in Colour beside white balance, exactly as before, and every test passed. Nothing caught it because nothing could. The declaration parsed, the parity tests compare ids rather than attributes, and an operation filed under the wrong groups renders perfectly. It surfaced only on screen, as a missing Effects tab — which is indistinguishable from a category that genuinely has nothing in it, and is precisely how `Optics` looked for as long as it was empty. So three changes rather than one: `FilmSim`'s descriptor declares `Attribute::Effect`, which is the move the earlier commit described. `attributes:` joins the keys a `rust:` node may not carry, beside `params`, `uniforms`, `wgsl`, `helpers`, `define` and `label`. The rule was already written — "its descriptor comes from the type" — and attributes were the one field that slipped past it. A key that is silently ignored is worse than one that is rejected, because it reads as though it worked; the eight hand-written declarations lose a line that never did anything. And a test asserts that every attribute the chain carries reaches the tab strip. That is the property that was actually broken, and its failure mode is invisible from every direction: the controls exist, they are in the shader, and there is no way to filter to them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

dtourolle	f0ee53ec09	Merge: the optical corrections, connected at last ... Four files' worth of lens correction existed, was tested, and had never touched a photograph. `compose_warps` had no callers, `dr-lens` had no dependents, and `ops/vignetting.rs` had no declaration in `ops/` — so `Attribute::Optics` was a category the tab strip could only ever filter out for having no rows in it. Distortion, chromatic aberration and lens vignetting now render, carry their parameters through the sidecar and the undo stack, and take their coefficients from the Lensfun database when the file names a lens it knows. The panel says which of "no lens recorded" and "no profile for this lens" it is, because an automatic correction that silently did nothing is worse than one visibly unavailable. One real bug on the way: `lens.rs` and `framing.rs` both documented the shader's `p` as corner-normalised, and it is not — its length at the corner is `0.5 * length(aspect)`, about 0.901 on a 3:2 frame. Every Lensfun polynomial would have been evaluated short of where it was fitted, by a factor varying with the aspect ratio, which reads as a correction that is merely too weak. The category vocabulary moved with it. `Attribute::Geometry` is `Compose` — named for the photographer's decision rather than for the maths it shares with the lens corrections — and a film stock stopped claiming to be both tone and colour, which had put "Kodachrome" in two groups it belongs to neither of.	2026-09-05 15:35:44 +02:00
dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	2841eaf9a1	Take the layer-chain test's closure down to &dyn Operation ... `clippy::borrowed_box` is denied by the workspace lint set, and the closure added with the optics exclusion took `&Box<dyn Operation>` — a borrow of the box rather than of the thing in it, which says nothing the plain trait object does not. Caught by `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, which is what CI runs and what the workspace tests do not: a lint on test code only appears when the tests are compiled as a clippy target.

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

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	a1165ef182	Put the coordinate-domain lens corrections into the graph ... `lens.rs` has held a `Warp` trait, a composer and two implementations — distortion and lateral chromatic aberration — since they were written, and `compose_warps` was called by nothing outside its own tests. The corrections existed, were correct, and never touched a photograph. `EditGraph` now holds them, and `compose_full` emits them between the framing prologue and the fetch. Distortion first, then CA: each warp receives the position the previous one produced, and lateral CA is a magnification about the optical axis of the *undistorted* frame, so measured on a barrel-distorted one it would be fitted to a radius no profile describes. They reach the panel the way framing already does — through `capabilities`. That was the one open question and existing practice answered it: framing is also not an `Operation`, also has parameters a photographer sets, and also arrives through that list. Because `Preset::capture` walks the same list, the sidecar, the clipboard and the undo stack carry a warp's parameters with nothing registered anywhere, and no file under `ui/` names one (FR-DEV-3a). `state()` destructures `EditGraph` field by field precisely so that a new field cannot be forgotten, and it was not. Chromatic aberration is the only thing that samples per channel, and `splits_channels` is what keeps everything else from paying for it. Red and blue are fetched from positions green is not — green is the reference and never moves, so a wrong correction still leaves one channel sharp rather than softening all three. With no CA in the chain the single-fetch path is emitted instead. The interpolating sampler is now chosen by framing *or* an active warp. Asking framing alone would have nearest-neighboured a distortion correction on an unstraightened frame, and that aliasing reads as a bad profile rather than as a missing filter. The warps go in the geometry invalidation key rather than the colour one: they decide which source pixel a colour is read from, so a tile cached across a distortion change would keep drawing the previous correction. The pipeline cache needs nothing new — `hash_source` already covers the generated body, and uniform values never enter it, so arming a warp recompiles and dragging it does not. Both are asserted.

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

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

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	95e854b5a2	Regenerate the gesture vocabulary over the library work ... `Traceability` stayed red after the matrix was regenerated, on its other gate: `gestures-check`. Same cause, second artefact. `docs/gestures.md` cites each gesture by `file:LINE`, and the library UI work moved the two selection-mode gestures down a hundred lines — 3923 -> 4032 and 3940 -> 4049 in `ui/dr-ui/ui/library.slint`. Nothing about the gestures themselves changed. `ui/dr-ui/src/gesture_book.rs` was already current, so this is the doc alone: 70 files scanned, 16 gestures, 2 places, gate PASS. Worth knowing for next time: `tools/ci-local.sh traceability` runs the self-test, the coverage gate and the matrix, but not `gestures-check`, so a clean local run does not prove this workflow green.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	c1069ce07e	Release 0.10.1 ... A bug fix release. Nothing here changes what DarkRoom is for since 0.10.0; it changes how often it does the thing it already claimed to do. The edits that went missing. A subject or category layer was stored as identity alone, on the reasoning that the pixels were reproducible by re-running the model — true, but nothing re-runs one except a photographer pressing "find subjects". So a reopened photograph rendered without its local adjustments and then saved that state back, and a batch export wrote three hundred files without the edits their photographer had made, over a log warning. The coverage now travels in the sidecar. Export also learned to write the photograph rather than the canvas, and to carry the photograph's header when the export is made from develop. Face indexing was reading previews. It ran against a proxy and then recorded the result as though it had seen the photograph, so faces smaller than the proxy could resolve were not missed, they were *concluded absent*. Indexing now runs on the native render, runs made against proxies too small to find a face are forgotten rather than trusted, and a sweep that fails everything says so instead of reporting a clean pass. Where you were. The photo roll opens on the frame it opened with, develop returns you to the photograph you were editing, the grid keeps its place when another screen covers it, and the photographer's position now travels between devices rather than being rediscovered on each. Startup. The catalog opens on a worker and the bundled models unpack on one, so a launch is no longer a page-by-page read on the way to the first frame; the app says it is starting before there is anything to say it with. The People rail builds the rows you can see, keeps portraits off the blocking path, and withholds the empty groups that used to fill it. Segmentation gained the half it was missing: the colour gate decided what belonged to a category and had no way to decide where its edge fell, so a refined sky kept the model's blocky outline no matter how the control was set. A marker-based watershed now puts each contour onto a real edge, and the refinement is a per-layer slider. Coverage 70.4% -> 70.6% (127/180).

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	dabf63ed6d	Regenerate the matrix over the watershed and sidecar work ... `Traceability` has been red on master. The matrix records every tag as `file.rs:LINE`, so it goes stale two ways at once, and both happened here: - the `cargo fmt --all` sweep (710fcbc) moved lines under tags that did not otherwise change, which is drift with no change of meaning; - the segmentation and mask-storage work added tags and a requirement, which is drift that means something. Regenerated: 332 -> 334 files, 1058 -> 1086 tags, 179 -> 180 requirements defined, coverage 70.4% -> 70.6% (127/180). No code changes.

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

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	89c4ff1820	Store what the model found, so a reopened photograph keeps its masks ... A subject or category layer was written to the sidecar as identity alone — which run, which instance, which category — on the reasoning that the pixels are reproducible by running the same model over the same image. They are, but only by *running the model*, and nothing runs one except a photographer pressing "find subjects". So on every path that did not already have a run in memory the layer resolved to no coverage, `MaskPass::render` logged "has no distance field; skipping", and the adjustment was silently absent: - reopening an edited photograph rendered it without its local adjustments, and then saved that state back on the way out; - a batch export from the grid could not have them at any point, because `render_from_library` opens a session, applies a version and renders, and there is no model anywhere on that path. Three hundred files written without the edits their photographer made, over a log warning. Neither failure announced itself. The generated shader still emits the layer's block and the empty placeholder multiplies it by zero, so the result is a well-formed frame that is simply missing an edit — `mask_is_stale` already named the state and called it "not stale, just unrenderable". The coverage now travels in the file, as one `coverage = w h levels payload` line at the end of the layer's block. Two levels, and that is not a compromise. The model hands out a byte per pixel but `Shaped::build` measures its distance field from `coverage >= 128` and throws the shoulder away on the first line; everything soft about the rendered edge comes afterwards from the layer's feather and falloff, which are read off the distance. So one bit per pixel is not an approximation of what the model said — it is exactly the part of it that reaches a pixel, and the stored mask renders the identical frame. Storing all 256 levels would have stored 1.7 MB of bilinear interpolation to reconstruct a predicate, and would not even have compressed: a model mask is a bilinear upsample of a coarse grid, so almost no two adjacent bytes are alike. Measured on a simulated sky and a simulated figure at 1600x1067, against 1.71 MB raw: 4.0 kB and 6.5 kB at two levels, 46 kB and 76 kB at sixteen, 835 kB and 1.43 MB at all 256. The level count is still written into the line, so a later build that finds a use for the shoulder can write sixteen and this one will read them rather than misreading a stream of lengths as pairs. The coder is hand-rolled — run-length pairs in a base-64 varint — because `dr-pipeline` links nothing, which is the property that lets the descriptor and codegen logic be tested without a device. `flate2` would have been fewer lines and a dependency in the one crate that has none. Where it lives matters more than how it is coded. The raster sits on `MaskLayer` beside the source, not inside `MaskSource::Subject`: the source is *identity*, which is what makes it diff as a handful of numbers and merge per field under FR-NC-9, and a raster in there would have given the merge a binary blob to arbitrate. It takes no part in `MaskLayer`'s equality for the same reason — a device that has run the model and one that has not hold the same edit, and counting the difference would raise a conflict over a cache and let `remote_wins` answer it by discarding the only copy of the pixels. Encoding happens in `masks_for_storage`, on the save path, rather than in `ensure_subject_fields` where every coverage already funnels through. `ensure_subject_fields` runs on a drag — dilating a mask with a compound morphology rebuilds the field every frame — and encoding a megapixel raster per frame is the kind of work NFR-P5 exists to keep off a gesture. Saving happens once, when the photograph stops being the open one, and already costs a network round trip. Version skew holds both ways. A file with no `coverage` line reads exactly as it did before, which is a layer that needs the model run; an unreadable one costs the pixels and not the layer, because the layer is the edit and the raster is a cache of it. An old build reading a new file drops the key it does not understand, which costs a model run and no work. And a payload that will not compress is refused rather than truncated: a checkerboard would encode to twice the raster it came from, so past 64 kB nothing is stored and the behaviour falls back to what it was — half a mask would render as a mask that is confidently wrong, which is the failure that tells nobody.	2026-08-30 21:28:54 +02:00
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.	2026-08-30 21:28:31 +02:00
dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	353382c07f	Hand the photographer's place between devices ... A place recorded on the tablet should be where the desktop opens. Exchanged through `.darkroom-derived/place.json`, beside the thumbnail shards and the catalog snapshot. Newest timestamp wins outright: unlike the catalog this is replaced rather than merged, because two devices cannot both be where the photographer is and so there is nothing of theirs inside ours to preserve. It still refuses to upload over a copy it could not read, for a smaller version of the reason `sync_catalog` does: a record we have not compared against may be the newer one, and overwriting it would move the other device's photographer without ever having seen where they were. Last in the pass, and its failures are logged rather than reported. Everything else in that folder is *derived* -- a faster way to learn what the device could work out for itself -- so losing it costs time. A place is a fact only the other device knew, and losing it costs a scroll. A sync that ran out of connectivity should spend what it had on the shards. The full pass runs after a thumbnail sweep or when Sync is pressed, neither of which happens on an ordinary launch -- so a handover would arrive one launch late, which is one too many for a feature whose whole claim is picking up where you stopped. `spawn_place_fetch` is the small half: one GET of a few hundred bytes, started beside the scan. And it can still be refused. A handover is welcome on the way in and unwelcome once the photographer has started: a grid that jumped elsewhere mid-scroll because a round trip finally landed would have lost their place to the feature meant to keep it. Any scroll, scrub, scope change, filter or opened photograph closes the latch, and a record arriving after that is written to disk and takes effect next launch.

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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-30 20:39:50 +02:00
dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	8bf5e13faf	Centre the photo roll on the frame it opens with ... The roll brought the open photograph into view by the shortest move, which is right for stepping along it and wrong for the first look: a frame near either end of the loaded window arrived hard against an edge, with nothing on that side to give it any context. It now centres on the first settle of a develop session and steps minimally after that. A one-shot request that the strip itself clears -- the only thing that knows the request has been honoured is the code honouring it -- rather than something recomputed on creation, because the strip is created far more often than a session begins: leaving develop for Settings and coming back rebuilds it, and re-centring then would undo a roll the user had scrolled by hand. Raised on the two ways into develop from the grid, and not on a pick along the roll, which is a step within a session rather than the start of one. Centring is clamped to the ends: the third photograph of a window cannot be centred without scrolling empty space in beside it, and a strip that begins with a gap reads as broken rather than as centred.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	0ff1e01ec3	Come back from develop on the photograph you were editing ... Leaving develop returned to where the *grid* was, which after a walk along the photo roll can be a thousand rows from the frame you had just finished. So the one photograph you were certainly interested in was the one the grid came back without. Two positions, and the rule is not to pick one of them. The grid seeks to the remembered position, then reveals the keyboard cursor -- which is now put on the open photograph, and which moves the viewport as little as will bring its row into view. A frame inside the remembered screenful moves nothing at all; one outside it scrolls exactly far enough. One rule, both behaviours. The cursor rather than the selection, deliberately: `place_cursor` also rewrites the selection, and a set of forty photographs assembled in the grid must survive having one of them opened. `reveal()` now also runs on the grid's `init`, since `cursor-row` is initialised rather than changed when the subtree is rebuilt and no handler would otherwise fire. Both it and the roll's centring defer while the element has no height yet -- `init` runs before layout, where a height of zero makes every row look off screen -- and a latch brings the first real height back to the cursor without letting every later resize haul the viewport around. The capture-time marker follows the same move, for the same reason: `load_window` rebuilds the axis only when the scope, the filter or the total has changed, and none of them has. It is the same library seen from a different row. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-30 20:35:23 +02:00
dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	53dc2d171e	Say where the grid is on the capture-time axis from the first frame ... The sidebar's marker rested greyed at mid-track until the first scroll or scrub. The reasoning was that anchoring it would imply a choice the user had not made -- but that reads the marker as reporting an intention, and it does not. The sidebar's whole claim is to say *when* you are, and that is known from the first frame: the grid is at the top of the library, or wherever it was last left. So a launch opened with the marker halfway down an axis whose visible photographs were all from the wrong end of it. Dimmed rather than absent, which made it look like a reading rather than the absence of one. Seeded in `refresh_timeline` -- the one place that decides what the marker says, and the one that runs on every route which builds the axis -- and only when nothing has claimed it, so a scroll or a scrub still speaks for itself.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	eed27eb36d	Keep the grid's place when another screen covers it ... Opening Settings, Import or People and coming back landed at the top of the library however deep in it you had been. The grid is gated on an `if` in the markup, so every route away from it destroys the subtree and rebuilds it. A Flickable being destroyed passes its viewport through zero on the way out, and that reaches `on_library_scrolled` looking exactly like the user having flung the grid to the top. The handler already guarded against it -- but on `show-library`, which means "the library rather than develop" and stays true while any of those four screens replaces the window. So the guard covered the develop route and none of the other three: `resume_at` was overwritten with 0 on the way out, and the position was gone before anything could restore it. The condition the `if` is actually spelled with is now computed once, in `app.slint`, and Rust reads that. The two cannot drift apart again because there is only one of them. That fixes the overwrite. The second half is that nothing replayed the position on the way back in: `on_back_to_library` does it by hand, and Settings, Import, People and the launch screen do not go through it. Rather than teaching three more modules to call it, `scroll-to` is now kept current on every scroll. It is read by `seek()`, which runs on a token change and on `init`, so writing it without bumping the token cannot move the grid on screen -- and is exactly what the next grid reads when it is built.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	4dc954f01a	Take the photo roll's grab band off the buttons that end a mode ... "Done Cropping", "Done Repairing", "Done Masking" and "Fit" float over the foot of the canvas. So does the photo roll's swipe handler, and a gesture handler is not a layout box — it is an input surface. A press inside one is delayed, then offered to that handler's own children and to nothing else: `input_event_filter_before_children` returns `DelayForwarding`, which aborts the hit-test traversal outright, and the replay afterwards visits only the handler's subtree. Everything behind it is never asked, hover included. The band was `strip-height + reach` — 136px along the bottom — whether the roll was out or away. So the button that ends a mode was drawn, was lit, and did nothing for as long as a library was open, which is the whole time anybody is developing from one. The tool rail kept working because it is a sibling of the canvas rather than behind the roll, which is exactly why this looked like two dead buttons rather than a dead region. The band now goes where the roll goes. The handler carries the strip instead of standing still while the strip animates inside it: closed, only `reach` is on screen and the rest hangs below the window where nothing can press it; open, it still covers the thumbnails, which is what lets a swipe down anywhere across them put the roll away. The 180ms travel moved from the strip onto the handler, so the drawn positions in both states are what they were. The controls are then positioned against that band rather than against the bottom of the canvas, and ride up with the strip when it comes out. Reordering them in front of the roll would have been the other fix, and it is the wrong one — the band would become the thing that cannot be reached, and a gesture nobody can start is worse than a button with a second way out. `roll-strip` and `roll-reach` are tokens now, because two files have to agree on where that band is for either of them to keep out of it. The bottom of the photograph comes back with it: the crop's lower handles and a repair placed near the bottom edge were inside the same 136px and had the same fault.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5	3d248cfb79	Export the photograph, not the canvas ... Zooming the develop view changed the exported file. `Framing::view` is kept out of the sidecar, out of `is_active` and out of `output_size` precisely so that it cannot — but those exclusions keep it out of the *edit*, and an export is a *render*. `visible_rect` deliberately folds the view into the single rect the fused shader's prologue samples, so `render_for_export` inherited it: at 4:1 it wrote the middle of the frame, magnified to fill the file at the full output size, with the detail kernels scaled four times over because `render_scale` folds the view in as well. `render_thumbnail` did the same to the grid. `render_uncropped` already suspends the view for this exact reason, so the fix is its pattern: one `render_the_file` that both file-producing paths go through, composing inside the suspension since the view reaches the shader as a uniform baked at composition time. Restored whatever happens — leaving the graph un-zoomed after a failed export would throw away where the photographer was looking. Nothing caught it because the guard checked the wrong things. `zooming_does_not_change_the_exported_image` asserted the output size and the crop; both held perfectly throughout. Renamed to `zooming_does_not_change_the_size_or_the_crop`, which is what it tests, and the pixels are now guarded where pixels exist. The new test uses a ramp rather than quadrants deliberately: a four-quadrant frame is self-similar under a centred zoom, and the first version of this test passed against the bug because of it. Traces FR-EXP-9, which asks for the full-quality pipeline "regardless of what the display was showing". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-30 19:41:30 +02:00
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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-30 19:41:20 +02:00
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.
