dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 f4395bd17c Run the face tests on the tablet, where the NEON kernel actually runs
The similarity scan picks its dot product per machine, and the NEON one
is the kernel that ships to the phone and the tablet — and the one a
desktop cargo test never executes. A wrong lane index or a mishandled
tail there is a silent wrong answer on exactly the devices nobody runs
the suite on, which is a poor place for the only untested code path.

dr-face carries no weights and touches no display, so its tests are a
plain ARM64 binary that runs under adb shell with nothing installed.
The script builds it against the SDK's newest NDK, pushes it, runs it
and cleans up. It checks for the device first, so a tablet that is not
plugged in costs a second rather than the two minutes it takes to
compile for it.

Not wired into CI, which has no device attached.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8f596262b8 Record where a regroup's time actually goes
The §9 note said the scan was half a regroup and implied the
agglomeration was an irreducible sequential walk. Both halves of that
are now wrong, and the numbers are the point of the section.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 e596eb0657 Give the similarity scan the machine's SIMD, and its cache
The scan is O(n²) dot products and nothing else, so its speed is the
face subsystem's speed — and it was running at 0.7 flops per cycle.

Two separate faults, both measured over the reference 18,143-face
library on twenty cores. It walked the whole embedding array once per
row, ~336 GB of traffic, where a column tile that fits in L2 is read
once per tile of rows: 4.64s → 2.81s. And the workspace builds for
baseline x86-64 — SSE2, no FMA — into which the portable loop was not
being vectorised at all: 2.81s → 0.86s, 195 GFLOP/s.

So the dot product is now chosen per machine. AVX2 + FMA where
is_x86_feature_detected! finds it; NEON unconditionally on aarch64,
since Advanced SIMD is in that baseline and every Android device the app
builds for has it — with the explicit vfmaq, because LLVM will not fuse
a multiply and an add without being told to. The portable loop stays as
the definition the others are tested against, and
the_fastest_kernel_agrees_with_the_portable_one is the only check the
NEON path gets on a machine that is not aarch64.

Faces::embeddings is one flat buffer rather than a Vec per face: the
pointer chase defeated both the prefetcher and the tiling, and it is
also the layout a GPU pass would want.

Behaviour is unchanged and that is checked rather than asserted — the
same 1,531,969 pairs from all three kernels, and on the real library the
same 2,518 groups holding the same 16,246 faces with the same confidence
distribution. A full regroup there goes from 10.0s to 5.9s; the rest is
the agglomeration, which is a sequential heap walk and is where the next
look should go.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 ebb7d3cf5c Score a suggestion against the people the user has named
The number beside a suggestion was the mean calibrated probability
between the face and the rest of its group, which measures the wrong
thing twice. It punishes coverage: a person with two hundred faces over
fifteen years is *meant* to have members a given photograph is
orthogonal to, so a correct suggestion onto a well-photographed person
scored low for being well photographed. And it never asked who else the
face might be — a face matching Anna at 0.95 and nobody else, and one
matching Anna at 0.95 and her sister at 0.93, came out identical, when
the second is the only one worth the user's attention.

dr_face::assign answers both, and multiplies them: the mean of the best
ten calibrated matches into the identity (the old mean, capped, which is
what stops coverage counting against it), times that identity's share of
the evidence against every *named* rival.

Only named people compete, and per person rather than per group. Both
halves of that had to be measured on a real 18,000-face library rather
than reasoned about. Normalising across every group made the number
useless — median suggestion 21%, four in five under half — because
clustering leaves one person spread over many groups, so a face competed
against itself; and keying rivals by group left Catherine competing with
Catherine, median 39%. Per named person: median 99.5%.

Rivals are gathered below the merge threshold, down to even odds: a
named person matching at 0.6 will never be merged into but is exactly
the competition to discount for. That would be a second similarity scan,
the expensive half of regrouping a library, so cluster_scored scans once
at the looser floor and hands the merge engine the subset at or above
the threshold — pair for pair what it would have scanned for itself,
held to that by a test.

Leave-one-out over that library's 2,702 confirmations across 54 named
people: 99.33% of faces placed on the right person against the old
mean's 99.15%, and the number shown for the right person moves from a
median of 90.4% to 99.3%. It errs low — 100% correct wherever it states
80% or more — which is the safe direction, and docs/faces.md §9.1 says
plainly that the low bands are not calibrated.

The example that measures it comes too: this is a claim about a
library's numbers, and nobody should have to take it on faith.

dtourolle 4168d67cfa Do not push a catalog over one we could not read
`sync_catalog` is a read-modify-write over a file another device also
writes: take theirs, merge, push the union. It was shaped

    if let Ok(bytes) = backend.get(&RemoteId::Path(target), None).await {

which folds *every* failure into "there is no remote catalog" and carries
straight on to the upload. On a placeholder library the snapshot in
`.darkroom-derived/` is dehydrated like anything else, so the read failed
every time and each sync pushed our catalog over theirs unmerged —
taking the other device's collections and their members with it.

The same shape as the sidecar bug, and the same fix: a read that fails
for anything other than `NotFound` stops the upload and says why. An
unreadable or unopenable snapshot stops it too — "will not parse" is not
"is not there". This is what `NotFound` and `NotMaterialised` being
separate errors is *for*: one means ours is the whole truth, the other
means do not dare.

Shard downloads go through the same fetch-on-demand read. They logged
and skipped before, which on a library the client keeps dehydrated is
every shard, every pass, and a peer's thumbnails and faces silently
never arriving.

And `put` over a placeholder now replaces it rather than refusing.
Refusing was over-cautious of me: derived state lives inside the library
folder, so a folder the client had dehydrated could never be written to
again. An unconditional write replaces the whole file, so there is
nothing in the stub to keep — content first, then the placeholder, since
in a synced tree an absence is a deletion that propagates. `IfMatch`
still refuses, because a stub's validator describes the stub; `IfAbsent`
fails, because the file is there and only its content is not.

dtourolle 702d83c218 Measure the borrow, rather than asserting it bounds the disk
The claim that hydration-as-a-borrow makes peak disk the working set
rather than the library was so far an argument. `--example vfs_cycle`
runs it: 100 photographs of 25 MB, 90 dehydrated, a pass over all of
them through the real engine.

Peak 275 MB — the resting set plus one photograph — against 2,500 MB
had the pass simply fetched everything. Back to 250 MB afterwards, and
all ten files the user already kept still there, which is the half of
the contract that matters more.

Recorded in docs/storage.md §6.3 and ARCH §9.0a, because a bound argued
from a number nobody measured is one that gets quietly lost.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ARCH §9.0a records this as an amendment: finding 3 rejected hydration
because it costs 100× a range read, and that comparison assumed a
connector was available. A folder library has none.

dtourolle 64462e9fd3 Test the folder sign-in instead of trusting it
The whole of a folder library's sign-in lived inside a Slint callback,
which cannot run without a display server — so the one path that decides
whether a mistyped folder becomes a *stored* account had no test at all.
That failure is quiet and lasting: an account for a directory that is
not there skips the launch screen on the next start and reads as a
library that has lost its photographs.

`open_folder_library` is that logic, lifted out whole. Four tests: it
stores an account with no credential and reaches the keyring for
nothing, a typo is refused before anything is written, the messages read
as instructions because they go straight to the screen's error line, and
a file is not a library.

dtourolle cbe5c4fcde Measure the folder walk against a real tree, not a claim
The folder connector declares `LocalEtags`, which means the engine walks
the whole library on every scan with no pruning. That is the honest
capability, and the argument for it being affordable was so far an
assertion about `stat` versus `PROPFIND`.

`--example scan` runs the real path — `dr_sync::scan` over the connector,
then a ranged read of the kind the thumbnail worker makes. Read-only; it
never writes into the folder it is pointed at.

2,299 images across 233 directories in 137 ms, and 380 across 13 in
29 ms. Against 34.1 s for 17,185 RAWs over WebDAV *with* pruning
available. Recorded in docs/storage.md §5.2 and ARCH §8.4a, because a
capability trade-off argued from a number nobody measured is the kind
that gets quietly reversed later.

dtourolle f12aece07e Make storage pluggable, and prove it with a folder backend
`RemoteBackend` existed from the first release and bought nothing it was
designed for. Seven files in `dr-ui` constructed a `NextcloudBackend`
directly, an account *was* a server URL beside a DAV user id, the local
cache directory was named after a hostname, and the launch screen knew
that signing in meant a browser handshake. The trait was real; the seam
was documentation.

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

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

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

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

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

docs/storage.md is the contract — the traits, the four steps to add a
backend, and what each connector declares. ARCH §8.0 and §8.4a, and
FR-NC-13, say why.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c8e05831f4 Show the confidence, and say which curve it came from
FR-CULL-9 was read as "no fit, no number", so every library without 200
confirmed positive pairs showed "Confidence unavailable" on every
suggestion — which is every library, until enough confirmations exist to
fit one. The confirmations are made on this screen, ranked by the number
it was withholding, so the degraded state was also the permanent one.

There has always been a curve: Calibration::default is the reference
implementation's fitted MBF sigmoid, which is what clustering already
operates at. It is a published operating point, not an invention, and
what the requirement forbids is presenting it *as though it were
measured on this library*. So the percentage is shown, and the screen
says once, above the grid, where the curve came from.

A tablet showed 200 of a person's 611 faces after syncing, and the obvious
suspects — that suggestions deliberately do not travel, that the cross-device
face match was too strict — were both wrong. Finding that out meant reading a
catalog on a release-signed Android build, which cannot be done.

So this stands the second device up locally: an empty catalog, given the images
a scan would have found, the shards adopted into it exactly as a sync does, and
the real catalog merged in as the remote. Then it counts, per person, against
what the source holds.

    person                     source     here
    Catherine                     611      611

    Ian                           219      219

Which settled it: the merge carries everything, and the shortfall was transfer —
shards that never finished arriving. Worth keeping, because "did the sync lose
this or has it not got here yet" is a question that will come up again, and
guessing at it cost most of an evening.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 2c84aa1224 Write face shards the way the rest of the catalog writes
The face store was the one part of the catalog still on SQLite's default
rollback journal at `synchronous = FULL`. The catalog itself runs WAL at
`NORMAL` (`schema::configure`) and so does the thumbnail store; nothing decided
this one should differ, it was simply never set.

Measured on this project's own filesystem, that is **21.3 ms per commit against
0.05 ms** — four hundred times. And an export commits four times per
photograph: the shard's transaction, then three separate autocommitting writes
to the index. Ten thousand images is on the order of fourteen minutes spent
doing nothing but waiting for fsync, before a byte goes to the server. That is
the "checking faces…" that appeared to hang.

So: WAL and `synchronous = NORMAL`, matching the rest, and the three index
writes fold into one transaction. `NORMAL` is the same trade the catalog makes —
a shard is derived data, and losing the last commit to a power cut costs one
image re-exported.

WAL brings an obligation with it, because **a shard is uploaded by reading its
file**: the newest commits live in a `-wal` sidecar that no upload sends, so
without a checkpoint the server would receive a database missing exactly the
faces just written, and a peer would adopt it and see nothing wrong. `checkpoint`
folds the logs back in, with `TRUNCATE` rather than the default passive mode,
which gives up when a reader holds the log and would leave the same gap while
reporting success.

Two tests: that the store is in WAL like everything else, and — the one that
matters — that a checkpointed shard copied *without* its `-wal` still holds
every face. That second one fails without the checkpoint, which is how it was
confirmed to be testing something.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 cf614efa61 Send a re-indexed image's faces to the other devices
`export_to_shards` asked `store.contains(file_id)` and skipped anything the
shard store had already heard of. So an image was exported exactly once, and
re-indexing it updated the catalog and nothing else — every other device kept
the first answer for ever.

That is not hypothetical. This library was re-indexed after the detection floors
changed and crops were added, going from 1,807 faces to 15,194; the shard store
still held the original 1,807, written before any of it. Nothing the re-index
produced could reach another device.

The shard's `indexed` table now carries the catalog's own `indexed_at`, and the
export compares against it. A re-indexed image goes again; an unchanged one
still costs nothing. Copied from the catalog rather than stamped when the shard
is written, because a shard-local write time advances even when nothing changed
and could not answer the question.

The column is nullable so a shard written before it still reads: absent means
"cannot vouch for it", which forces one re-export and then settles.

Two things the People screen was missing.

Faces were being indexed at any size and any sharpness — 40 pixels on the box
and no blur gate at all — so most of what the library held was background
strangers and motion-blurred passers-by, and the blurred ones were quietly
bridging unrelated clusters. Both floors are now measured on the real library
with `face_index --quality` rather than guessed: 64 source pixels across the
aligned crop, and a contrast-invariant sharpness of 0.020.

And the grid could only ever be narrowed to one person, which cannot express
"the pictures the two of them are in together". The filter now holds a set with
a union/intersection mode, built a person at a time from the Identity screen and
taken apart chip by chip on the filter bar.

fmt, clippy -D warnings and the full workspace suite pass on the merge.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 a1790c3e67 Stop indexing faces too small or too blurred to be anyone
The library was storing faces at 52 source pixels and embedding whatever came
back. There was a size floor, but it was 40 pixels on the *bounding box*, and
there was no blur gate at all — so a subject walking through a half-second
exposure detected confidently, aligned cleanly, and produced a perfectly
ordinary-looking 512-vector. Nothing downstream can tell that apart from a real
face, and because blurs resemble each other more than they resemble the people
they were, they cluster together and weld unrelated identities into one group.

Two floors, both measured rather than guessed. `face_index --quality` runs the
detector over real proxies with both gates disabled and prints the distribution;
over 1,503 faces in 600 images of the reference library:

   percentile   crop px   sharpness
           1%        16      0.0006
          25%        23      0.0025
          50%        38      0.0071
          75%        76      0.0284
          99%       352      0.4282

The median face in a personal library is 38 pixels. Most of what the detector
finds is background: people across a square, a face on a poster, a stranger at
the next table. They are real detections and useless identifications.

**Size, on the crop rather than the box.** "At least 64x64" has to mean the
pixels the *embedder* sees, and the box is not that — the ArcFace template
reaches past it for forehead and chin, so the aligned crop spans roughly 1.3x
the box's shorter edge. The floor is therefore `min_source_px` on the aligned
crop, applied after the warp fixes the scale, and `min_face_px` drops to 48 as
what it always really was: a cheap pre-filter set low enough that it cannot
reject a face the real floor would have kept.

**Sharpness.** Variance of the Laplacian divided by the variance of the luma it
was taken over. The division is the part that matters: raw Laplacian variance
scales with contrast, so a threshold on it would quietly discard every backlit
portrait in the library. The ratio asks how much of the crop's variation is
edges rather than broad gradients, and is invariant to exposure.

What each pair removes, cumulatively, of everything the detector finds:

    min crop   min sharp   size cut   blur cut       kept
          64       0.000        70%         0%        30%
          64       0.010        70%         3%        27%
          64       0.020        70%         7%        23%
          80       0.010        76%         2%        21%

64 and 0.020. The size floor does most of the work, and the blur floor removing
only 7% on top of it is the point rather than a disappointment: at 64 pixels
most faces are already sharp, and what it takes out is the large-but-soft one —
precisely the face that would otherwise contribute a confident, wrong embedding.

The two gates are not independent and the doc comments say so: a face under 112
pixels was upsampled to reach the embedder, and upsampling invents no edges, so
small faces score low on sharpness even when the original was crisp. That is why
`--quality` prints them together.

**This will re-index.** Around 70% of what the current settings store falls below
the new floors — faces between 20 and 40 pixels that nobody could identify. The
People screen gets shorter and every group in it gets better.

66 dr-face tests pass, including that a blurred crop scores below a sharp one,
that halving the contrast does not move the score, and that an upsampled face
scores below the same face at full size.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 4fa914cbb1 Send each canvas overlay home to its own domain
The crop rectangle, the gradient handles and the repair discs were 480
lines inside `canvas-area` in app.slint, while the panels that drive them
already lived in adjust.slint, masks.slint and spots.slint. spots.slint
even opens by describing "what is drawn over the photograph, and what a
finger can take hold of" -- which was not in it.

They stayed behind because all three are positioned against `shown-*`,
the fitted image rect the develop view derives because Slint does not
report it. That is now the interface rather than the obstacle: each
overlay is *given* that rect as its own bounds, so every position inside
is a plain fraction of `root.width`, and none of them reaches out to
`canvas-area` for an origin any more.

GradientHandles joins MaskPanel in masks.slint and SpotHandles joins
SpotPanel in spots.slint, each file now holding one domain's panel and
its canvas overlay together, matching masks_ui.rs and spots_ui.rs.
CropOverlay gets crop.slint of its own rather than growing adjust.slint.

Arithmetic is unchanged: the old fraction-x subtracted shown-x from a
coordinate measured relative to canvas-area, and the new one measures
from an origin that already is shown-x. The handles stay unconditional
rather than gaining an emptiness guard, so the repeater identity that
spots_ui::sync_handles warns about is untouched.

app.slint: 2834 -> 2490 lines. Verified by running the desktop app on a
photograph, with the crop overlay's guard temporarily forced open so all
three instantiate -- no binding loop, no panic.

StatusBar and InfoPanel sat above AppWindow in app.slint, which read as
though they were part of the application shell. They are not: neither is
instantiated anywhere but the develop view, and the shell's actual job --
choosing which of the five screens is up -- is easier to follow without
two unrelated components standing in front of it.

Moved verbatim to develop.slint, matching src/develop.rs. No behaviour
change; app.slint loses 232 lines and gains one import.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c10dca984f Regroup the library without stopping the window
Pressing Regroup on a real library did not come back. Clustering 1,813 faces is
the textbook agglomeration — compute every pairwise cosine, then repeatedly scan
all live group pairs, score each with average link, and merge the best — and the
scan is inside the loop. Each merge rescans every surviving pair, and each score
is recomputed from scratch over every cross pair. Some 1.6 million pair scores
per merge, some 700 merges to do.

Three changes, none of which alter the answer.

Only above-threshold pairs can ever matter. An average that reaches the
threshold must have at least one term at or above it, so two groups with no
qualifying pair between them can never merge — not now, and not after any
sequence of merges, since merging only adds terms. The new `neighbours` module
produces exactly that sparse list: 7,875 pairs rather than 1.6 million on the
reference library. It also means the n^2 matrix is never materialised, so memory
goes from O(n^2) to O(edges) — 2.5 GB to a few hundred KB at 25,000 faces.

Merges cannot cross components, so the connected components of that graph are
independent problems: four hundred small agglomerations instead of one large one.

Average link is additive — sum(A u B, C) = sum(A, C) + sum(B, C) — so a merged
group's scores follow by addition. Kept as running (sum, count) per adjacent
pair, a score costs one division instead of a nested loop, and a heap with lazy
invalidation replaces the rescan.

Measured on the reference library: 0.28s, release, for all 1,813 faces.

An exact ANN index was tried and removed, and neighbours.rs records why so it is
not rediscovered as a good idea. IVF with a triangle-inequality bound is exact
and prunes beautifully on synthetic clusters; on real embeddings it prunes
*nothing* — 946 of 946 cell pairs survive. Median pair angle is 88.5 degrees and
the merge threshold is 66.2, so the bound needs cells of radius under ~10
degrees, but two photographs of the same person sit 36-60 degrees apart. No
ball-based partition of a 512-d near-orthogonal space can be tight enough. So
the scan stayed exhaustive and got an unrolled dot product and its blocks spread
across cores instead.

Correctness is held by keeping the old implementation as an oracle: three tests
run both engines over the same population — plain, under co-occurrence and
anchor constraints, and with a size-weighted calibration — and assert the
clusters are identical. Determinism is asserted at a size where the threaded
path is in play.

62 tests pass.

Master moved sixteen commits while these fixes were being written — per-display
colour, the frame-budget measurement that decides FR-DSP-2, and a declared
node running without being compiled. Merged here rather than on master so the
conflicts are resolved where they can be tested.

Two files overlapped and neither was interesting. `lib.rs` gained `mod remote`
from this branch and `mod display_ui` from master, which git resolved on its
own. `docs/traceability.md` is generated, so it was regenerated from the merged
tree rather than hand-resolved — hand-editing a generated matrix produces one
that agrees with neither side. Coverage reads 59.9% (106/177), up from 55.4%,
entirely from master's tagging.

The check worth having run is `the_interface_names_no_operation` against
master's new `display_ui.rs` and its 195 changed lines of `develop.rs`: a new
UI module written without knowledge of this gate passes it. That is the
evidence the gate is not merely satisfiable by the code that shipped with it.

fmt clean, clippy clean at -D warnings, 2087 tests pass.

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

    wanted.extend(repair);

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 5e4c7424ed Fail the build when the interface names an operation
FR-DEV-3a is the property the declarative pipeline rests on: a node in
`ops/` is one file because nothing in `ui/` has to learn about it. It was
true — all fifteen ids grepped across `ui/` yield one hit, a localisation
test — and it was held by discipline alone.

That is the wrong mechanism for it. The failure is silent and cumulative:
special-casing one operation to fix a layout problem is defensible on its
own, and by the fifth the panel names half the chain and "a new operation is
one file" has stopped being true without any single commit having broken it.
Nothing would have told us.

The ids are read from `ops/*.yaml` rather than listed, so a node added
tomorrow is covered without anyone remembering this file — the same reason
`traceability` parses its denominators from `requirements.md` at run time.

Two decisions worth recording, because both are the difference between a
test that holds and one that gets deleted:

**Only string literals count.** `texture`, `contrast` and `clarity` are also
ordinary graphics and English terms, and `texture` appears throughout `dr-ui`
meaning a GPU texture. Matching bare words would fail constantly for reasons
unrelated to the invariant.

**`#[cfg(test)]` items are exempt, and finding them needs more care than it
looks.** The first version cut each file at the first textual match of
`#[cfg(test)]`, which in `develop.rs` is a *doc comment discussing the
attribute* at line 969 — it read 18% of the most important file in the scan
and passed. It now matches the attribute only as a whole line and skips the
item by brace depth, and `MIN_SHIPPING_FRACTION` fails the test outright if
the scan ever swallows the file again. The dangerous failure here is not a
false alarm, which someone investigates; it is examining nothing and
reporting success.

Verified both ways: it passes on the tree, and an `"exposure"` planted at
develop.rs:3635 — past two `#[cfg(test)]` attributes, exactly where the
first version was blind — fails with the file, the line and the reason.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 29da637fa2 Record what a contribution costs, and what would lower it
An audit of code quality and extensibility, written because the answer to
"how hard is it to add a feature here?" splits cleanly in two and the split
is not where it looks.

The develop pipeline is genuinely open: a new operation is one file in
`ops/`, and the claim that no code in `ui/` names an operation turns out to
be true — all fifteen ids grepped across every .rs and .slint file in `ui/`
yield one hit, a localisation test. `dr-ui` is the opposite: every feature
lands in `run()`, one of the `wire()` functions, and a root component
carrying 472 members, so contributors collide by construction.

Five findings, CH-1 to CH-5, each with a falsifiable "done when" in the
idiom technical-debt.md already uses. The distinction from that document is
deliberate and stated: it records compromises that were chosen and are
load-bearing until their criterion is met; this records friction nobody
chose. A section listing what must NOT be tidied comes before the findings
for the same reason.

CH-1 is not a new diagnosis. view-composition.md specified the fix on
2026-08-09, when `run()` was 500 lines; it is 1,810 now, the two view
booleans it described are five, and the conditional chains it predicted in
app.slint are five-term conjunctions. The entry references that spec rather
than restating it, and quantifies the cost of the delay.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0cd3ef1b3f Run a node declaration without compiling it
`ops/*.yaml` plus `build.rs` has been the class-1 plugin format since the
declarative nodes landed — it was simply resolved at build time. Nothing about
a declaration requires the compiler: everything it produces is data plus a
WGSL string, and the composer already assembles WGSL at run time from whatever
operations are active. So this is not a new mechanism. It is the existing one,
loaded later (FR-PLG-2).

`DeclaredOp` implements `Operation` from an owned `Declaration` — one
interpreter over many declarations, where `build.rs` emits generated code per
node. The generated path stays, as FR-PLG-2 says it should: a generated
`match` is faster than an interpreted one, the built-ins' declared `tests:`
have to run under `cargo test`, and generated source is inspectable in a way
an interpreter's state is not.

**The reader is now one file, read by both.** `src/declared/decl.rs` and
`src/declared/expr.rs` are `#[path]`-included by `build.rs` as well as being
modules of the crate, and they produce a neutral `Declaration` that names no
Rust type. The build script's job is reduced to *rendering* that declaration
as Rust; `DeclaredOp` converts the same declaration into descriptors and
`Expr::eval` walks the same tree the renderer writes out. There is one
grammar, one set of validations and one set of error messages, so "a plugin is
the same kind of thing as a built-in" is structural rather than aspirational.

What remains genuinely written twice is the pair of backends — an arithmetic
node rendered as Rust here and evaluated there — and that is what the parity
test stands between. `tests/declared_parity.rs` parses every built-in
declaration at run time and asserts the composed WGSL is byte-for-byte what
the generated implementation produces, with the uniform block bit-for-bit
identical, at both ends of every parameter's range and at four interior
points; then again over the whole develop chain with the declared nodes
swapped in, which is what covers uniform slot ordering and helper
de-duplication between operations. A third test asserts the declared and
hand-written nodes partition `ops/` between them, so coverage cannot shrink
silently.

Bit-for-bit rather than within a tolerance, because a tolerance is where a
real divergence hides. The one thing that had to be got right for that to hold
is number literals: `expr::as_f32` rounds a decimal exactly once, through the
same shortest-round-trip text the compiler is handed, rather than rounding an
`f64` a second time.

Not in scope, and deliberately untagged: load-time WGSL validation
(FR-PLG-11), id namespacing, a plugin directory read at startup, and pass
nodes (FR-PLG-2a). Those are separate work, and tagging them from here would
be the overstatement the spec's own §7 warns about.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 2e6825ded0 Record what the measurement found, where the next person will look for it
Three places, because the finding has three audiences.

The display spec's §1 table said FR-DSP-3 was unmeasured and FR-DSP-5 untagged.
Both are now false, and §2's decision rule has fired. The body of §2 is left as
written with the verdict quoted above it: a plan overtaken by its own evidence
reads better in order than quietly edited into agreement with the outcome.

TD-4 is the stage that misses the budget. Clarity's kernel is a fraction of the
frame, so it reaches a 52-pixel radius at 4K and costs 34 ms — seven times the
entire fused chain, for one slider. It is debt rather than a bug because the
detail stage cannot yet write a target smaller than it reads, which
`local_contrast`'s own documentation has said since it was written. The entry
says plainly that tiles are the wrong tool for it, since that is exactly the
conclusion a reader arriving from ARCH §5.3 would otherwise draw.

TD-5 is the one nobody was looking for: composing the fused shader costs
2.8–5.2 ms of CPU per frame on a full chain, on the UI thread, which at
1920x1200 is more than the dispatch it precedes. The source depends only on the
graph's structure — what `structure_hash` already identifies and what does not
move during a drag — so the fix is the cache `AdjustPass` already keeps for
compiled pipelines, one level up.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 b858fc029a Record what per-display colour actually cost
The status table said FR-DSP-8 was absent and §5.2 assumed Slint
reports window moves. It does not — there is no `on_moved` on any
backend — so the position is sampled instead.

§5.4 records the two trades that are worth someone finding later: a
display profile is matched to the nearest of four spaces rather than
applied through a CMM, and on Wayland the canvas follows the first
output rather than the window, because a Wayland client is never told
where its window is and the protocol's own answer needs a `wl_surface`
that Slint does not expose.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0c3b8cb1c4 Hand out descriptors a declaration could produce
`Operation::descriptor()` returned `&'static OpDescriptor`, and that lifetime
is the whole reason a build-time node is free and a run-time node is
impossible: only a compile-time literal can satisfy it, so no amount of
reading `ops/*.yaml` at startup could ever produce a descriptor the rest of
the application would accept. FR-PLG-2 says a bundled operation and a
third-party plugin are the same kind of thing, differing only in where the
file was found — and a lifetime outsiders cannot meet is exactly the second,
weaker format that requirement forbids.

So a descriptor is now owned and handed out as `Arc<OpDescriptor>`, with `Vec`
where it held `&'static` slices. `Arc` rather than a `&self`-borrowed
reference because the callers want to *keep* it: the develop panel collects
descriptors and then mutates the graph, and a borrow would tie the
descriptor's lifetime to a borrow of the operation it came from, which is the
one thing `&'static` was doing right.

The identifier newtypes deliberately did not follow. `ParamId` is `Copy`, is
compared in `match` arms against generated constants, is a map key in the
sidecar and history, and reaches Slint model rows; an `Arc<str>` there would
cost a refcount on every one of those and would take `match id { EXPOSURE =>
.. }` away from the generated code. They gain an interner instead, which is
honest about its lifetime rather than pretending to one — the set of ids is
bounded by deduplication and is process-lifetime by construction, because the
sidecar on disk names its parameters and an id has to stay resolvable for as
long as any edit naming it can be opened.

No behaviour changes. Every descriptor that was a `static` is a `LazyLock`
initialiser now, `Operation::helpers` borrows from `self` instead of being
`'static` so a future run-time node can own its list, and `Warp` and `Framing`
follow `Operation` so there is one shape rather than two.

The one place a descriptor is read per frame is `compose_full`, which takes
`descriptor().id` to prefix each active operation's uniforms, and `dr-ui`
composes on every frame it draws. That is a dozen atomic increments beside a
composition that is already building several kilobytes of WGSL on the same
call; it is noted at the trait method rather than left for a profiler to find.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 13deaa2fbb Assert the frame budget, and commit the numbers behind the FR-DSP-2 verdict
FR-DSP-3 states a latency requirement and nothing checked it, which makes it a
wish. This adds the check and the measurements it guards.

`docs/frame-budget.md` is the bench's output with the reading of §2's decision
rule attached. The short version: every point-operation chain at every viewport
size, fit and at 1:1, is inside 16 ms at the 99th percentile — the widest is
4.5 ms of GPU at 4K — so FR-DSP-2 should be rewritten rather than implemented.
The measurement did find a stage that misses the budget, and it is the one §2
predicted: clarity's 52-pixel separable kernel costs 34 ms at 4K. Tiles make
that worse rather than better, since a tiled convolution reads a halo per tile;
the fix `local_contrast` already names for itself is a base computed at reduced
resolution.

The test guards the fused path and says so, at length, rather than quietly
excluding the expensive stage and letting the tag imply otherwise (§7). What it
asserts is exactly the claim the recommendation rests on: one dispatch over a
viewport-sized target, at a full chain, is comfortably inside a frame.

Two things the numbers forced:

- The two cases are one `#[test]`. As two they ran on a thread each, contended
  for the same device, and took the 1:1 case from 2.5 ms to 14.9 ms — a
  measurement of the harness that would have flickered either side of the
  budget forever.

- The CPU half of the frame is judged only in an optimised build. Composition
  is real per-frame work on the UI thread and belongs in the budget, but the
  workspace builds its own crates at `opt-level = 0` in dev and `cargo test` is
  a dev build, so measuring it there measures rustc. The GPU half is asserted
  either way.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 3e5840e413 Let a test hold the words the About page shows
FR-DSP-8 asks for a fallback that is *defined*, and a reason that
reaches the code but never the screen satisfies half of it. The three
readouts are now built by a free function over the survey rather than
written straight into the window, so a test can assert that "sRGB
assumed" arrives with the reason attached, that an approximated profile
says "nearest to" rather than claiming the space, and that the second
monitor is described on the page read from the first — which is the
display the requirement is actually about.

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

The comment defending it misread the requirement:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 69dccaa061 Count the platform layer's traceability tags
`platform` was missing from the traceability scanner's source roots, so
every TRACES tag in `dr-plat` — the secret store, volume discovery, and
now display-profile acquisition — was invisible to the matrix. The
FR-PLAT-* family is exactly what that crate exists to satisfy, so the
omission understated coverage by the requirements it was meant to
count.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 131004393d Follow the canvas from one display to the next
The rest of FR-DSP-8. The develop session now carries the space its
canvas is encoded into, and `render` composes for it instead of for
sRGB — which is the whole of the change to the pixel path, because the
output space was always a parameter of composition and always entered
the structure hash. A display change is a recomposition.

The space is set on the way into every render rather than pushed when
the window moves, so a photograph opened while the window already sits
on the second monitor is right on its first frame instead of flashing
the wrong colour until the next poll.

Which display that is comes from sampling the window's position and
scale factor twice a second — Slint reports neither a move nor a
display change — and re-surveying only when they differ. Settings shows
what came back under ABOUT: the display, the space, why, and the other
monitors, because the failure FR-DSP-8 names is one that is invisible
from the display you are reading the page on.

Fractional scaling: the canvas is now rendered at the physical pixel
size of the box it occupies rather than the logical one, so the
compositor presents it 1:1. At 1.25 it was previously handed 1600
samples to fill 2000 device pixels, and the softness that produces
reads like a bad demosaic rather than like a scaling bug.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 7235972ca4 Measure what a frame costs, so FR-DSP-2 is decided by numbers
`docs/display-and-extension.md` §2 fixes a decision rule in advance: if the
99th percentile of a frame sits inside 16 ms, tiled computation is rewritten
as a scheduling concern for export rather than built on the interactive path.
Nothing in the tree could answer that, so the rule had nothing to act on.

This is the instrument. It renders a 60 MP synthetic source through the real
`render_detailed` at three viewport sizes and four chain lengths, fit and
zoomed to 1:1, and reports nearest-rank percentiles rather than means — a
slider drag is judged by its worst frame.

Three things it does that a simpler timer would not:

- It separates the fused pass from the neighbourhood stage. "Every operation
  active" mixes one dispatch together with a chain of convolutions, and §2's
  question is about the first of those. `point` is every operation that
  contributes a fragment to the fused shader; `all` adds the four with
  kernels, and M3 times those alone by moving only a detail parameter so
  `render_detailed`'s colour reuse skips the fused dispatch. The reuse is
  reported rather than assumed — the `colour` column counts fused dispatches
  and must be zero for an M3 row to mean what it says.

- It times the CPU half separately. Composition runs per frame in
  `DevelopSession::render`, so it is inside the budget whether or not anyone
  has looked at it, and if shader assembly were the expensive half then no
  tile scheduler could help.

- It builds the "every operation" chain from `EditGraph::capabilities` rather
  than from a list, so declaring a new node does not quietly turn that row
  into a shorter chain wearing a longer chain's label.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 57c0cc0d35 Keep the name typed into a cluster when the next one is opened
Naming a cluster and moving straight to the next is the gesture this screen
exists for, and it discarded the name every time. Two causes, both in the same
four lines.

`Field.text` is two-way bound to its `TextInput`. Binding it to `selected-name`
therefore works exactly once: the first keystroke writes through the `<=>` and
**replaces** the declarative binding, after which the field follows nothing.
Switching clusters left the previous cluster's half-typed text on screen,
attached to the new person.

And `Field` only reported `accepted`, which is Enter. A name typed and then
abandoned by clicking the next face never reached Rust at all.

So `Field` gains an `edited` callback, the screen keeps the draft with the
person it was typed for, and the draft is written when the selection moves or
the screen closes. The field is then reset from a revision counter the screen
watches.

A counter rather than `changed selected-name`, because the name is not a key:
naming six clusters "Anna" in a row never changes `selected-name`, and the field
would keep the half-typed text from the cluster before. Nor `changed
selected-person`, since accepting a namesake merge lands the user back on a
person they may already have been on.

The draft carries its `PersonId`. A reload can move the selection out from under
a half-typed name — a merge arriving through a sync, a deletion — and applying
it to whoever is selected now would rename a stranger. If the person is gone
when the draft lands, it is dropped rather than resurrecting a row the rail no
longer shows.

`None` and `Some("")` are kept distinct. A user who cleared the field means to
clear the name; a user who never touched it means to leave it alone. Collapsing
those two erases names by walking past them.

An implicit commit does not raise the namesake merge offer. That question is
about a screen the user has already left, and answering it on their behalf while
they look at the next cluster is not a question at all — the offer stays on the
explicit submit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 8155f5276e Spec how the display contract closes, and how the pipeline opens
Two families were the weak points: FR-DSP at 37%, which is the architecture's
central performance claim, and FR-PLG at zero. They are one document because
the same property decides both — the pipeline composes its work from
declarations, which is why the display path is fast and is also, already, most
of a plugin format.

Two findings change the size of the job.

**Some of FR-DSP is done and untagged.** Zoom already meets FR-DSP-5: the
sampled region shrinks while the render target keeps its size, so zooming
raises the resolution the pipeline works at — arrived at without tiles.

**FR-DSP-2 may not be worth satisfying as written.** It predates the fused
shader and assumes a chain of passes over a large buffer, where recomputing
per frame is ruinous and tiles are the way out. What exists composes every
active operation into one dispatch over a viewport-sized target. So the spec
fixes three measurements and a decision rule *in advance*: if a frame sits
inside budget at the 99th percentile, the requirement is rewritten rather than
implemented, and tiling becomes what it actually is here — a scheduling
concern for export, which already runs off the frame path. Writing a tile
scheduler the design does not need would be the most expensive way to find
that out.

**The plugin format already exists**, resolved at build time: `ops/*.yaml`
through `build.rs` produces something indistinguishable from a hand-written
operation, and everything it produces is data plus a WGSL string. The blocker
is one line — `descriptor()` returns `&'static` — and the rest is an
interpreter over declarations, load-time WGSL validation, and namespaced ids,
because the sidecar stores parameters by id and a collision is a wrong edit
silently applied.

Recorded last and deliberately: traceability counts a tag, not a behaviour.
`FR-DEV-8` is tagged against plumbing a future spot-removal op would use and
`FR-DEV-7` against a history row for a frontend that does not exist, so 51% is
an overstatement of unknown size. Every requirement this plan closes should be
closed by a test that fails if the behaviour is removed.

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

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

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

Three things that are not incidental:

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

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

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

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

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

The merge of the SCRFD/MobileFaceNet work brought 69 rustfmt diffs across
dr-catalog, dr-face and dr-ui with it, so `cargo fmt --all -- --check` fails
on master and the Desktop job stops at its Format step — before clippy, the
tests or the release build have run at all. That makes the whole desktop
half of CI blind: a real compile error behind this would look exactly the
same from the outside. There was nothing behind it, as it turns out — with
the formatting fixed, clippy, the test suite and the release build all pass.

Every .rs hunk is `cargo fmt --all` on the pinned 1.92.0 toolchain, not a
hand edit, but it is worth being precise about what that moved, because it
is more than whitespace. Besides reflowing signatures and call chains,
rustfmt reordered the `pub mod` and `pub use` items in dr-face/src/lib.rs so
the `#[cfg(feature = "inference")]` entries sort in place, added the trailing
semicolon inside `let ... else { return }` bodies in identity_ui.rs, wrapped
a bare closure body in braces in cluster.rs, adjusted trailing commas, and
dropped a stray blank line at the end of identity_ui.rs. All of it is
semantically inert; none of it changes behaviour.

docs/traceability.md rides along because it has to. The matrix records each
TRACES tag by line number, and reflowing develop.rs, lib.rs, faces.rs,
identity.rs and identity_ui.rs moved them — FR-CAT-8, FR-CAT-9, FR-CULL-10,
FR-DEV-3, FR-DEV-3a and FR-DEV-3c all shift by a line or two. The matrix was
verified up to date on d777f7f before this commit, so this is drift these
formatting changes introduced, not pre-existing staleness being swept up.
Leaving it for a follow-up commit would hand traceability-check.yml a
failure caused entirely by a whitespace change.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 ce201c7dd6 Name the two spaces a photograph lives in, so a turn cannot go the wrong way
Every orientation bug this codebase has had has been the same bug: a turn of
the right size applied in the wrong direction. That failure is worth naming
precisely, because it does not look like one — a quarter turn applied
backwards lands 180 degrees from right, so the result is a plausible
transform of the picture rather than anything obviously broken, and on
landscape frames it is not wrong at all. It was the straighten shear, and it
was the segmentation overlay, and each time it was found by eye rather than
by a test.

The reason it keeps happening is that "rotate 90 degrees clockwise" cannot be
checked by reading it. The reader has to hold in their head which of the two
images is being rotated and which way the y axis runs, and there were four
hand-written copies of the permutation to hold it for: the shader prologue,
its CPU twin, the thumbnail path, and the segmentation.

So nothing added here says clockwise, anticlockwise, horizontal or vertical.
The functions say *which space they take and which space they return* —
`into_shown` and `into_stored`, `source_pixel` and `shown_pixel`,
`into_shown_rect` and `into_stored_rect` — and each takes the dimensions of
the space it reads from, so no caller has to work out which pair it is
holding. `StoredRect` and `ShownRect` are separate types because they are the
same four numbers meaning different things, which is exactly the case where a
mistake is silent: a shown rect measured against stored dimensions produces a
rectangle in the wrong place, not an error.

Underneath there is one permutation. `source_pixel` was already shared by the
prologue and the thumbnails; `source_point` is its normalised twin, written
beside it so the two cannot drift, and everything else is those two read
forwards or backwards. `Orientation::inverse` is the group inverse rather
than `4 - turns`: mirrors apply after the turn, so undoing means undoing them
first, and a mirror seen from the far side of an odd turn is about the other
axis. That is the diagonal-mirror case, tags 5 and 7, and getting it wrong
renders as — again — 180 degrees.

Three call sites lose their own copy: the thumbnail path, `dr-ui`'s
segmentation, and `dr-gpu`'s `local` example. "Upright" now means one thing
across the application rather than one thing per caller.

The gate that matters most is `the_render_and_the_orientation_map_agree`. The
shader prologue and `Orientation` answer the same question by different
routes, and until now nothing checked that they answered it the same way. It
now checks every EXIF tag against every user rotation and mirror on top of
it, because the composition is where the two could agree singly and disagree
together.

The rest earn their place by having caught something. Writing these found two
real errors in this commit's own new code before it ran anywhere: `shown_pixel`
was handed the dimensions of the wrong space and overflowed, and the rect map
turned the wrong way for the diagonal mirrors. A round trip that returns what
went in is the only check worth having here, since every wrong answer is
still a picture.

No behaviour changes. The permutations are the ones that were already being
applied; they are simply applied from one place now.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 25c88d9dbd Start face indexing from Settings
Beside the thumbnail sweep, because it is the same kind of thing: a job
that runs for an hour, is asked for once, and reports into the activity
list above it. It is also downstream of that sweep -- detection reads the
proxies it builds -- so the two belong in that order, and the coverage
line says how many images are waiting on a proxy rather than only how
many are left to index.

The button drives the Identity Manager's own state rather than a second
copy, so it cannot disagree with that screen about whether a pass is
running, and either place can start or stop it.

The pass now opens an activity row. The caption promises progress will
appear in the list above, and without a row it would not: the button
would be the only sign anything was happening, invisible from every
other screen.

Coverage is read when the Settings page opens. The figures live in the
catalog and this page deliberately holds no session, so they arrive
through a closure rather than being kept current -- they are only ever
looked at while the page is on screen, and the check is two counts and an
indexed scan.

Also adds DARKROOM_NO_SYNC. Redirecting XDG_DATA_HOME isolates a test
launch's catalog and thumbnails but not its server, and I found that out
by pushing a test catalog over the live one. The guard sits in
start_derived_sync rather than at its three call sites, because the sweep
firing a sync is correct and a flag checked in three places is one that
gets missed in a fourth.
