dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 44f0a4971b Show the folder picker on the platform that needs it most, and upload at once
Two faults, both of my own making, reported from the tablet as "I cannot
select a location" and "it does not upload".

**The picker button was gated on `target-selected == 1`.** That index was
Remote's position while both targets were offered. Making the target list
platform-aware narrowed Android's to Remote alone, so Remote became index 0
and the button disappeared — on the one platform where the picker is the
*only* way to set a destination, since a device folder is not reachable there
at all. It is gated on a boolean derived from the target now. An index into a
list whose length varies is not a fact about the target, and writing it as one
is what made a correct change break the thing it was meant to fix.

**A queued export waited for a sync pass.** Staging first is deliberate — an
export is finished on disk the moment it is written, and offline is then just
a longer queue — but nothing drained the outbox until the next sync, so
"Queued for Exports" sat unchanged and read, fairly, as an upload that never
happened. A finished batch that wrote anything now drains immediately. The
sync-pass drain stays: the first makes an upload feel immediate, the second is
what eventually delivers the exports made in a tunnel.

Committed without the parallel session's in-flight collection work, which is
mid-save and does not compile; verified by stashing it and building this tree
alone. 281 dr-ui tests pass, clippy clean.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 cb1d2be240 Choose the export folder by walking the server, not by typing it
The destination for a Nextcloud export was a text field. Nobody recalls the
exact spelling of a path three levels down, and getting it wrong does not
fail — `create_dir` makes whatever was typed, so a misremembered folder
becomes a new one at the root and the exports are somewhere nobody looks.

So it is picked the way the library root is picked, using the same
`FolderBrowser` model the launch screen drives: up, into, and "use this
folder", confirming the folder currently *shown* rather than one selected in
the list. Same rule in both places, so the phrase means one thing.

The model is shared; the worker is not. `settings_ui::spawn_folder_list` is a
near-twin of the launch screen's, because that one reaches into the
`LaunchController` for its session and reports onto the launch screen's error
line, while this one is handed credentials and writes to the settings page.
Factoring them together needs a function taking both controllers or a trait
implemented twice to abstract two call sites — more machinery than the twenty
lines it saves. What matters is shared already: navigation behaves identically
because both drive the same model.

The callbacks are wired in `lib.rs` rather than in `settings_ui::wire`,
because listing a remote folder needs credentials and the settings page holds
no session on purpose — it is reachable before a library is opened and must
not depend on one existing. With no account the picker says to sign in first,
rather than showing an empty list that reads as a server with no folders.

Details that are decisions rather than accidents: the picker opens at the
library root rather than at whatever half-typed path is in the field, which
would list nothing and look broken. The listing area is a fixed 180px, since a
folder with sixty children would otherwise push the rest of the settings page
off the bottom. "Up" is disabled at the root rather than hidden, so the row
does not jump as the user navigates. A failed listing leaves the picker open
on the folder it was showing — where the user had got to is not something to
discard over a dropped request. And the chosen folder saves immediately like
every other setting on a page that has no Save button.

The poll timer lives on the controller for the reason `LaunchController` keeps
its own there: a `slint::Timer` stops when dropped, so one local to the
function that starts it would be collected before the listing arrived.

Carries in-flight work from a parallel session — a segmentation pass in
dr-gpu, a sidecar cache, and the develop panel's continuing changes.

1020 tests pass, fmt clean. One clippy warning remains and is not mine:
`sidecar_cache::dir` is unused while that work is in progress.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 e00c99b864 Let a photograph leave: an export button, and a cache to leave from
dr-export could turn a frame into bytes and nothing could ask it to. This is
the button, and the place the bytes go.

**Everything is staged first.** An export bound for the server is written to a
local outbox and uploaded afterwards; offline is not a special case, it is the
same path with a drain that finds the server absent. Doing it the other way —
upload directly, stage only on failure — makes the failure path the one that
is rarely exercised and always broken, and a network drop mid-batch leaves
some exports existing and some not with nothing recording which. Staged first,
an export is finished the moment it is written and the upload is a promise
kept later.

The outbox sits beside the catalog rather than under the cache. dr_catalog's
cache already draws that line: passive entries are a convenience and go under
LRU, pinned ones are a promise and never do. An export awaiting upload is a
promise — the user was told it succeeded — and sweeping it for disk would
destroy the only copy. Bytes are written before the destination record, so a
kill between the two leaves an orphan the drain ignores rather than a record
pointing at nothing.

The status line says "Queued for Exports/2026", never "Exported to Nextcloud",
until it has actually landed. There is a test asserting that wording, because
the tempting shorter sentence is a claim the app cannot keep.

The drain runs on the sync pass, before the shards: a thumbnail shard can be
rebuilt from the originals and the catalog is an index, but a queued export
exists nowhere else.

`DevelopSession::render_for_export` renders the framed size rather than reusing
the frame on screen, which is deliberately viewport-sized (FR-DSP-1) — encoding
that would hand the user a soft, screen-sized file with nothing to say anything
had been lost (FR-EXP-9).

One compromise, recorded rather than hidden: the export runs synchronously on
the UI thread, so the window is unresponsive for the few hundred milliseconds
a full-resolution render and encode takes. Moving a DevelopSession and its GPU
pass to a worker is a larger change than one button earns, and it is batch
export that makes the wait intolerable rather than merely noticeable.

Still missing: the Nextcloud folder *picker*. The destination is typed into
Settings for now. `FolderBrowser` in launch.rs is already the reusable model
for it — it browses a remote tree and nothing about it is specific to choosing
a library root — but wiring it into the settings page needs a listing worker
and browser UI there, which is its own piece of work.

Carries in-flight work from a parallel session — presets, the develop copy and
paste, and the node schema's `presentation` and `enum` support. One misplaced
callback in settings_ui.rs is moved from `render` to `wire`: registered in
`render` it borrowed a `&SettingsController` into a 'static closure and would
not compile, and that file's own docs say render pushes properties while wire
connects callbacks.

992 tests pass, clippy and fmt clean. Traceability 48.3% -> 51.0%.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0a331c717e Give the controls a vocabulary, and let a node ask for one
widgets.slint set the rule — screens consume components, and a bare `Theme.*`
at a call site means a component is missing — and it set it for chrome only.
The controls never got the same treatment, so they were written wherever they
were first needed and copied from there.

**The slider was private to the develop panel.** `SliderTrack`, with the
fifty-line preamble explaining how it wrests a drag away from a Flickable,
lived inside adjust.slint and no other screen could reach it. It shows: export
quality is a 1-to-100 value, and the settings page offered a free-text box for
it, with the range written in a hint and enforced nowhere. `to-float()` answers
0 for anything it cannot parse, so a typo saved a quality of 0 and the page
displayed the 0 back as though it had been asked for.

The tick-box was written twice, in launch.slint and settings.slint, from the
same 18px box and the same handler; the second carried a comment deferring the
lift until a third caller appeared. The label-and-hint header was written three
times inside settings.slint alone.

controls.slint is the input layer beside widgets.slint's chrome layer, and the
constraint that makes it reusable is that **nothing in it knows about
`ParamRow`** — that struct is the develop panel's flattening of the capability
model, and a control that imported it could only ever be used by the develop
panel. The primitives take plain numbers; the ParamRow-shaped wrappers stay in
the panel that owns the model. 658 lines came out of the three screens.

`SliderRow` is the slider-plus-number-box ARCH §4.3 names as the pointer
presentation of a bounded scalar, and quality is its first adopter. It commits
on gesture end rather than on every movement, because the settings page saves
to disk on change and a two-second drag is a couple of hundred writes where a
text field committed once. The develop panel keeps the live stream — that is
what its pipeline is for — so `SliderTrack` now reports both.

**The other half is the descriptor.** FR-DEV-3a and ARCH §4.3a already specify
more than was built: an ordered preference list of widgets rather than one, the
demands a widget makes, and kinds beyond scalar and bool.

- `Presentation.widgets` is now a list, walked by `choose`, falling back to
  plain sliders. Falling off the end is not an error, and there is a test
  asserting an operation asking only for an unimplemented widget still yields
  one control per parameter.
- `WidgetDemand` carries what a widget inherently needs — two-dimensional
  dragging, precise pointing — and no pixels, breakpoints or platform names.
- `WidgetKind` grows to the specified set. There is deliberately no `Colour`
  *kind*: a colour is three numbers, and a value type that is not an `f32`
  would reach through the graph, the uniform block and the sidecar format to
  buy what `ColourWheel` over three scalars already describes. Every widget
  here is a hint over ordinary scalars, which is what keeps the fallback
  honest.
- `ParamKind::Enum` is the one new shape, and it fits because a variant index
  is exact in binary32. `kind: enum` with a `variants:` list works in
  `ops/*.yaml`, so a node declaring one gets a segmented control with no UI
  file edited — which is the promise ops/mod.rs already makes.

The panel's dispatch was duplicated: a lone parameter and a grouped one each
wrote out their own list of kinds, so `enum` would have had to be added twice
and a kind added to one would appear or vanish depending on how many parameters
its operation happened to declare. `ParamControl` is now the only such chain.

`rows_from` is free-standing rather than a method, which is what lets the
FR-DEV-3c acceptance test requirements.md asks for actually be written: an
operation the frontend has never heard of, appearing in a generated panel, with
no GPU in sight.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 151dcc3c02 Make a file out of a photograph
Export existed as a settings page and nothing else: format, quality, colour
space, five sizing modes, a filename template and a metadata switch, all
configurable in detail, and no way to produce a single file. dr-export is the
other half.

**It returns bytes and a name, and writes nothing.** An export has three
destinations with nothing in common — a path on Linux, a SAF document on
Android where there is no path at all (ARCH §6.9), and a PUT to a Nextcloud
folder — so a crate that opened the file itself would serve one of them and be
rewritten for the other two. The caller places the bytes.

Resize, then sharpen, then encode, in that order and for a reason: output
sharpening compensates for the softening the resample introduced, so its
strength scales with how much scaling actually happened, and sharpening before
shrinking would throw the result away. Lanczos-3, separable, with weights
computed once per output row — FR-EXP-4 asks for Lanczos or better because a
box filter turns a distant fence into moiré.

Collision handling takes the "is this name taken" test as a closure rather
than looking at a directory, because there is no directory it could look at
that works everywhere. That shape is not politeness toward Linux: Android's
createDocument renames on collision by itself and cannot overwrite at all, so
all three CollisionPolicy settings need the answer *before* anything is
created. Overwrite, Skip and Increment are each tested, and Increment gives up
after ten thousand rather than spinning against a destination that reports
everything as taken.

Three things are honest rather than done:

  - **Colour space.** sRGB only. The shader encodes and clips to sRGB before
    this crate sees a pixel, so tagging a file Display P3 would claim a gamut
    it does not contain. Refused with a typed error instead of mislabelled;
    honouring it is a pipeline change (FR-EXP-2).
  - **AVIF and JPEG XL.** No encoder. libaom and libjxl are C, ravif is slow
    enough to change what a batch feels like, and the settings page offers
    both because FR-EXP-1 lists them — so asking for one says so rather than
    writing a JPEG under a .avif name.
  - **16-bit TIFF** is a real 16-bit file carrying eight bits of information,
    because AdjustPass renders to Rgba8Unorm. Widened by *257, not <<8, so
    white lands on 65535 rather than a quarter-percent grey. Making it mean
    what it says needs the composer told what format to write.

Metadata is not written at all, which satisfies the half of FR-EXP-8 that
matters most: strip_location defaults to on, and a file with no EXIF block has
no GPS tag. Retaining camera and copyright when asked is not implemented and
cannot be faked by omission.

Also here:

  - `AdjustPass::export_pixels`, ungated where `read_output` is behind a
    feature. The two are the same transfer and opposites in intent: reading
    pixels back to *display* them is what ARCH §6.1 forbids and AC-8 asserts
    against, while reading them back to encode a JPEG is the only way a file
    has ever been made. Separate methods so the instrumentation can count one
    without counting the other.
  - `ExportTarget`, so a destination can be a folder on the server. On Android
    that is the only destination needing no platform work whatsoever — a PUT
    against create_dir, already on the RemoteBackend trait, behaving
    identically on both platforms. Switching target clears the destination,
    since a path is not a remote folder and carrying one across would offer to
    create a folder called `home` at the library root.

Verified end to end rather than by unit test alone: `cargo run -p dr-export
--example export` decodes a frame, runs the develop chain on the GPU at full
resolution, reads it back, and writes all five formats — 27 ms for a
full-size JPEG, 165 ms with a Lanczos reduction to 1200px. ImageMagick agrees
the 16-bit TIFF is 16-bit. dr-export cross-compiles clean for
aarch64-linux-android; all three encoders are pure Rust, which is why they
were chosen. 944 tests pass, clippy and fmt clean.

Not yet wired to a button. The develop view has no export action, so nothing
in the running app can reach any of this yet.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 b08e94405c Give the activity row a name Slint will accept
`ActivityItem inherits VerticalLayout` declared `in property <ActivityRow>
row`, and every element that can sit in a GridLayout already carries a `row`
for its grid placement — so the declaration was an override of a built-in
rather than a new property, and the compiler refused it. dr-ui had not built
since.

Renamed to `job`, which is also the better word: the property is one
background job, and `row` described where it was drawn rather than what it
holds.

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

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

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

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

Two complaints from a tablet, with one cause between them.

**Some sliders dragged and others only answered a tap.** They were not the
same control. `ParamSlider` read its geometry from a `ParamRow` for the
generated panel and `PlainSlider` took plain numbers for the straighten
angle, each with its own track, handle, hit area and gesture rules written
out separately — and a comment arguing the duplication was safe, because
"a slider that dragged differently depending on which panel it sat in
would be a worse inconsistency than the duplication".

That is exactly what happened. The touch arbitration fixed in the previous
commit went into `ParamSlider` and `CurveEditor`; `PlainSlider` kept the
old code, so two sliders in the same sidebar behaved differently and which
one you got depended on where you were dragging. The duplication failed to
survive its first change.

There is now one `SliderTrack`, owning the track, the hit area, the claim
test, the hover arbitration, click-to-jump and double-click reset. The two
wrappers differ only in where their numbers and labels come from.

**Nothing in the develop column collapses any more.** Every group was a
`Section` with a disclosure triangle, including five operations that carry
a single parameter — so the lid was most of the row, wrapping one slider
whose own label repeated the heading word for word. A control behind a lid
is one the user does not know the pipeline has.

`GroupHeading` keeps what the section was actually for: the name, the dot
that says something inside differs from its default, and the reset. The
reset is now permanently visible rather than appearing on hover, because a
hover-only control is one no finger can reach. IMAGE goes back to flat as
well. The column as a whole still closes, from the status strip — which is
the control that was wanted, at the level it makes sense at.

This costs no vertical space: `Section` defaulted to expanded and nothing
ever set it otherwise, so the panel was already unfolded and the lids were
overhead with no saving behind them.

Verified with cargo test -p dr-ui (192), clippy at -D warnings, and an
arm64-v8a release build installed on a tablet.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 94a2686dcb Fit the interface to the system bars, the finger and the back key
Four faults that only show on a device, and one that was hiding on the
desktop too.

The system bars. Target SDK 36 forces edge-to-edge, so the window spans
the display and the develop status strip was drawn underneath the clock
and the wifi icons. Slint already computes the inset from Android's
OnApplyWindowInsetsListener and exposes it as Window.safe-area-insets;
nothing read it. The four views now sit inside a shell placed within the
safe area. Every inset is zero on the desktop, so that layout does not
move.

Sliders under a finger. A Flickable steals any gesture that drifts more
than 8 logical pixels along its scrolling axis within half a second of
the press, and it steals it by cancelling the child. ParamSlider's axis
test correctly declined to claim vertical drags, but nothing told the
Flickable to stand down once a drag was claimed — so an adjustment would
start moving and then be taken away mid-motion. A mouse holds a
horizontal line closely enough to stay under 8px; a finger does not,
which is why these worked on the desktop and not on the tablet. The
claim now sets `interactive: false` for the rest of the gesture.

The tone curve had the same fault and worse: its points are dragged
vertically, which is the Flickable's own axis, so every drag was stolen
— on the desktop as well.

The back gesture. Nothing handled it, so back closed the application
from anywhere in it. Android delivers it as Key.Back to the focused item
and bubbles it up the ancestors, which is the second reason the shell
wraps the views rather than sitting beside them. The order is innermost
first: settings, then crop, then zoom, then develop to the grid, then a
collection scope. Answering false at the top of the stack leaves Android
to close the activity, as it does for every other application there.
Escape does the same on a keyboard.

back_step is a pure function over a flat NavState so the ordering can be
tested without a backend: which of two states is left first is the whole
of the feature, and it is the part that is easy to get subtly wrong when
spelled out in nested ifs over live properties.

Develop's canvas now takes focus on show. Without it the arrow keys did
nothing until the canvas was clicked, and Key.Back had no focus item to
bubble from.

Panels that close. The collections sidebar and the develop column are
collapsible from the grid header and the status strip. The layout class
now supplies only the default: a panel closed to see more of a
photograph stays closed while the window keeps its shape, and the choice
is dropped when the class changes, because rotating a tablet asks a
different question from the one answered in landscape. IMAGE became a
Section, being the only group in the column that could not be put away
and the one whose content is read first and needed least.

Pinch to zoom on the develop canvas, anchored on the midpoint between
the fingers (FR-UI-4). The wheel is the desktop's answer and there is no
wheel on a tablet.

The develop status strip was 28px against the 44px headers on the
library and settings pages either side of it — the one screen where a
way out has to be found was the one drawn smallest. All three now agree.

Verified with cargo test -p dr-ui (192 passing, 6 new), clippy at
-D warnings, and an arm64-v8a release build packaged to an APK.

Fills in `image_cache`, which the previous commit's "On this device" filter
read but nothing wrote. Also carries in-flight work that shared these files:
the Android TLS root store, the settings page, and a regenerated
traceability report.

# Two populations, deliberately separate

An original is kept here for one of two reasons, and conflating them produces
the exact failure the feature exists to prevent.

**Pinned** originals were asked for. Pinning a collection before a trip is a
promise, so pinned rows are never evicted and never counted against the
budget — a cap that could silently delete a pinned trip would make pinning
worthless, because it could not be relied on without checking.

**Passively cached** originals are a side effect of working: develop already
downloads the whole file, so keeping it costs no bandwidth and saves the
entire transfer next time. This population is what the budget bounds, evicted
least-recently-used, because it otherwise grows until a day of culling fills
a disk.

Sharing one budget would let a large pin starve the passive cache, or let
browsing evict a pin. They are separate.

# What was built

`dr_catalog::cache` owns the bookkeeping — held tier, size, last use, pinned
— and writes the bytes; deciding to download stays with the caller, which is
what keeps a crate with no network out of the network's business. Files are
written to a temporary and renamed, so a dropped connection cannot leave a
truncated file recorded as a complete original. They are named by image id,
not filename: `Photos/IMG_0001.CR2` and `Trips/IMG_0001.CR2` are different
photographs, and a flat cache keyed on the name would serve one for the other.

`spawn_full_fetch` became read-through. A hit is a disk read; a miss stores
what it downloads and enforces the budget. A cache that cannot be opened is a
miss, not a failure to open the photograph.

Pinning writes intent — `tier_desired` — without downloading, so the button
responds immediately, and `spawn_pin_fetch` fills it in sequentially
afterwards. Sequential because these are tens of megabytes each: the lanes
that make the thumbnail sweep fast buy little against one connection's
bandwidth and cost a great deal of memory. A pin interrupted by a lost
connection resumes from where it stopped.

Schema v5 adds `pinned` and `path`. `pinned` is a column rather than something
inferred from `pinned_by_rule`, which is ON DELETE SET NULL and so cannot
answer for an image whose rule was deleted. A v4 catalog migrates in place;
existing rows default to unpinned, the safe direction.

The budget and "keep opened originals" come from the settings page rather than
a constant, and are applied at startup rather than only on change — a cache
capped at 2 GB last session would otherwise spend this one filling to the
default. Turning off keeping leaves what is already cached readable: those
bytes are paid for, and refusing them would re-download images sitting right
there, including pinned ones.

Also removes a doubled `#[test]` introduced in the previous commit.
