dtourolle ee10097435 Mask the subject the model found, not the regions underneath it
The watershed hierarchy does not survive a photograph, so local masking
stops depending on it. A layer can now be one recognised object, and the
object's own coverage is the mask.

`Options::watershed` defaults off. It costs ~80 ms plus a full-resolution
readback to produce a ladder that collapses, and paying that on every
photograph buys a control that misleads. Kept switchable rather than
deleted: the passes and the hierarchy are correct in themselves and it is
the merge criterion that fails, which is a change to one function.

Masks now rasterise in **source** space at proxy resolution and are sampled
by the composed shader after the framing map. That fixes a real bug: they
were rasterised in output space, so zooming slid the photograph underneath
a mask that stayed pinned to the viewport, and cropping moved every
adjustment to a different part of the picture. Doing it this way also
leaves the framing map in exactly one place — a second copy in the mask
shader would have been a second thing to keep in step, failing only when
straightened.

A subject is stored as identity, not pixels: the mask is megabytes and is
reproducible by running the same model over the same image, so the sidecar
carries the index, the class and the score, and the session carries the
pixels. The class is there to be checked — if instance 3 comes back a "car"
where it was a "dog", something changed and the layer is stale rather than
silently masking the wrong thing.

The overlay now draws instances and is transparent everywhere else. The
region version covered every pixel and so hid the photograph it was drawn
over; the question it exists to answer is whether an outline follows the
subject, which you can only answer by seeing both.

`examples/local.rs` is the worked example: subject in colour with the rest
monochrome, and the subject lifted out of its background. Run on a 5472x3648
CR2 it finds two people and two cars, and the colour-pop keeps her hat and
hair while the wall and grass behind go grey.

dtourolle b1433ad4a9 Give a mask an edge treatment, and find out the watershed has none worth having
Two things, and the second is why the first matters more than expected.

Mask layers gain a feather, a falloff curve and a morphology, all defined
against a signed distance from the boundary rather than as separate
features — one exact distance field answers "how soft" and "how far" at
once, so dilation is a threshold at -r, erosion one at +r, and closing and
opening are one of each in sequence. The compound pair costs a second
distance field, which is why they are named rather than presented as a
radius that happens to be signed. Types, defaults and sidecar round-trip
only; the field itself is next.

`edge-feather` and `edge-falloff`, not `feather` and `falloff`, because a
radial mask already writes `feather` for the fraction of its radius it
ramps over. Same word, different quantity, different units — sharing the
key would have made an existing file ambiguous.

The diagnostic that provoked this is committed as an ignored test, because
"does the ladder land on things a person means" is the question S15 exists
to answer and it should not depend on whoever still has the script. On
bus.jpg it answers badly: 35,075 regions at blur 2 over an 810x1080 frame,
and cutting that to 400 gives *one* region covering nearly the whole
picture plus 399 noise specks. Not over-segmentation — collapse. Almost
every saddle is near zero, so the merge order joins everything meaningful
before it joins anything spurious, and a global cut spends its entire
budget on grain.

So the granularity ladder does not currently work on a photograph, and the
region masks built on it inherit that. Recorded rather than worked around:
the next commits move local masking onto the model's instances, where the
edge treatment above is what makes a quarter-resolution mask usable.

dtourolle 12d320cf33 Record what the spec got wrong about the model that exists
docs/segmentation.md §4 priced arm B as costing a C dependency under the
NDK and treated that as most of the difference between the arms. It is not
a cost that has to be paid: `ort`'s `alternative-backend` disables its
linking entirely and `ort-tract` supplies the API from tract, which is pure
Rust. D13's "largest exception the policy would tolerate" turns out not to
be needed, and the answer generalises to the face pipeline — so D13's
runtime half is now answered and only its licensing half is open.

Three findings contradict §4 outright and are recorded as F4-F6 rather than
quietly designed around. There is no ADE20K-trained YOLO, so the shipped
vocabulary selects subjects and not stuff — "select the sky" comes from the
watershed or from nowhere. It is instance segmentation, so it partitions
nothing and two people come back as two instances. And tract cannot parse a
dynamic-shape export, which fixes the input at 640 square and makes tiling
the only route to more semantic resolution.

Arm C ships, but §8's criteria are not what decided it, and saying so
matters more than claiming the process worked. §8 asked for a two-
interaction margin over arm A on a traced corpus. That comparison was never
run: F4 and F5 changed what the arms are, and a model that recognises
subjects but has no word for sky cannot be a selection tool alone, while a
watershed cannot tell a person from the wall behind them. They stopped
being candidates and became complements.

What is *not* done is written down as plainly: the 24-image corpus is
untraced, so M1-M4 have no numbers and "this feels right" has not become
one. M5 is answered on one device only, and region ids now reach the
sidecar — so a cross-vendor divergence would mean a mask written on the
desktop meaning something else on Android. F3 stands.

dtourolle 9b4f0815e5 Show the regions, click one, and adjust it
The local panel sits above the adjust panel because it decides what those
sliders act on; below it, a photographer would set an exposure and only
then discover which scope it landed in. Selecting a layer re-scopes the
existing controls to that layer's chain — there is no second set of
sliders, and there must not be, or every operation added to `ops/` would
need a local twin.

The overlay is drawn over the canvas rather than blended into the render,
because it is a diagnostic and not an edit: it must not reach the
histogram, an export, or the texture handed to the compositor. Nearest-
neighbour always — the map's values are *names*, so smoothing between
region 4 and region 9 invents a colour belonging to neither and softens
exactly the edge the overlay exists to show.

Picking gets its own touch area above the pan handler. Panning wants
press-drag-release and picking wants a click; interleaving them in one
handler is how a drag ends up selecting a region the user was scrolling
past. Shift is tracked as window state because a TouchArea's click carries
no modifiers.

Three states a layer can be in are worth distinguishing, and each has a
different remedy: stale needs re-segmenting, "no adjustment yet" needs a
slider moved, and the ordinary case needs nothing said. A bare selection
renders nothing and looks identical to a broken mask, which is the first
thing a new user will hit.

Known rough edge, commented where it happens: segmentation blocks the UI
thread for about half a second. Moving it to a worker needs the develop
session — GPU resources behind a RefCell shared with every callback — to
be reachable from another thread, which is a restructuring rather than a
change to the call. The button says "Finding regions…" first so the stall
is announced rather than looking like a hang.

dtourolle 3085ec4d2e Leave the stars on screen on a touch device
**Hover is not something a finger does, but Slint reports it anyway.**
`has-hover` goes true for any pointer event carrying a position, a touch
press included, and false again on the `Exit` that follows the release.

So the rating strip did appear on a tablet — for exactly the length of a
tap. It flashed on under the finger, vanished as it lifted, and the tap
carried on through to the cell and opened the photograph. An unjudged
frame could not be rated from the grid at all. The previous fix stopped
the strip disappearing when a *pointer* moved onto it; this is the same
symptom with a different cause, and hover was the wrong signal in the
first place.

The strip now stands open where the session is a touch one. That is
seeded from the platform rather than inferred, because inference needs a
press to reach a cell and a quick flick never delivers one — the Flickable
claims the gesture before the delay it would forward after — and a
control that only appears once the finger is down has appeared too late
to aim at. The grid still latches on the first non-zero touch id it sees,
which is what covers a touchscreen on the desktop.

One-way on purpose: a tablet with a mouse plugged in keeps the strips
once touched, which is the harmless direction to be wrong in. The
alternative is chrome that comes and goes as the user changes hands.

dtourolle 2fba685e16 Make a pinch zoom the grid and nothing else
Two faults left over from making the gesture reach the grid at all.

**It still opened photographs.** Checking the finger id stops the
synthetic release Slint emits when the *second* finger lands, but not the
other end of the gesture: lifting one finger of two leaves the other one
down, and Slint replays that survivor as a fresh `Pressed` on whatever is
under it — which is how it hands the pointer back to ordinary handling.
Under it is a cell. So the cell was selected, and lifting that last finger
was a complete, well-formed click on the same finger that pressed. No
part of the event stream distinguishes it from a real tap, so the grid now
remembers that a pinch just happened: a latch raised when the gesture
starts and lowered a beat after it ends, during which cells take neither
presses nor clicks.

The press that *opens* a pinch is undone rather than suppressed — it has
already happened by the time a second finger makes it a pinch. Undoing it
has to be exact, or a cancel that restored the selection but left the
anchor moved would make the next shift-click select a run from a cell
nobody pointed at, so capture and restore are a tested pair.

**And it was not smooth.** Two reasons. The pinch was thresholded into ±1
steps of 25%, so the grid lurched and then sat still; it now takes the
ratio since the last update and tracks the fingers, with the drawn cell
still landing on whole column counts because the columns divide the
width. And `zoom-cells` was the one geometry change still reloading
inline — a full catalog re-read, 360-row model rebuild and thumbnail
batch per step, on the thread drawing the frame. It goes through the same
settle timer as the rest now.

dtourolle 6ae0af3f72 Swipe up in develop for the photo roll
Develop opens one photograph. The grid handed over a path and nothing
else, so `index` and `total` were pinned to "1 of 1" on the way in and the
only route to the next frame was back to the library, find your place,
tap again. Fine once; intolerable through a set of forty, which is the
situation the develop view exists for.

The roll is the grid's already-loaded window along the foot of the
canvas. Swipe up to bring it out, swipe down to put it away — the sheet
gesture, already in the hands of anyone who has used a phone — and a
handle is drawn at the edge so the gesture is discoverable rather than
folklore, and so a pointer, which has no swipe to make, has a way in.

`SwipeGestureHandler` wraps the strip rather than sitting over or under
it, which is what it is built for: it delays a press the way a Flickable
does, forwards it to the children if no swipe develops and claims it once
one does, so a tap reaches the thumbnail and a drag does not. It covers
only the band along the bottom — above that, a drag still belongs to the
photograph, for panning and for the crop.

Picking goes through the same path a cell click does, so the outgoing
edit is persisted before the next image loads. The strip marks what is
open and scrolls to keep the mark in view.

The position readout now says where in the *library* the open photograph
sits rather than "1 of 1". Set after the open rather than before, since
the generic open path resets it — and given as the library ordinal, not
the row in the loaded window, which is an artefact of how much has been
paged in and would jump about as the window moves.

dtourolle c72f197880 Stop a row of buttons deciding how wide the grid is
**A Slint layout cannot be narrower than its children's minimums.** Given
less room than they need it lays them out at those minimums, lets the row
run past the edge — and reports the oversized minimum upwards.

That second half is what made this more than cosmetic. The header, the
filter chips and the grid are siblings in one VerticalLayout, so the
widest row's minimum became the whole view's minimum: `LibraryGrid` was
laid out wider than the window. The grid then measured itself against
that inflated box and sized its columns to fill space that was off the
screen, so the right-hand column was cut by the edge no matter what the
tiling arithmetic did. Fourteen filter chips do not fit across 768
logical pixels, so that was every tablet in portrait.

It also explains why opening the collections sidebar did not reflow the
grid. The view was already pinned at a minimum wider than the window, so
taking 232px away for the sidebar could not shrink it — it just clipped
more of it.

Each of those rows is now a horizontal Flickable. A Flickable's own
minimum is nothing, since it exists to be smaller than what it holds, so
none of them can inflate anything — and the controls past the edge became
reachable instead of merely absent. Applied to all four: the library
header, the filter chips, the compact action row disclosed by "More", and
the develop strip.

dtourolle 12a457b8d0 Tile the thumbnails to fill the width
The cells were drawn at whatever pixel size the class asked for and the
remainder was left as a bare strip down the right-hand side — up to one
short of a full column of nothing, which on a phone is a quarter of the
screen.

It also had the two quantities depending on each other the wrong way
round. The column count was derived from the fixed cell size, so the two
could disagree about how much room there was and the last column could
start inside the viewport and end outside it.

Solving for the cell removes both at once. Pick how many columns of
roughly the requested size fit — rounded, not floored, because the size
class is a request rather than a measurement and a width nine tenths of
the way to another column should take it — then make those columns share
the width. `columns` cells and the `columns + 1` gaps around them come to
exactly the grid's width, so there is no remainder to strand and nothing
can overhang.

The size class still decides what the user gets, since it is what the
column count is chosen from. It just no longer dictates the pixel, so the
cell flexes a few percent either way to make the row come out even.

dtourolle 90d6e551b3 Give the develop strip room for its controls on a tablet
The render backend, the layout class and the frame rate are developer
readouts, and they were sitting in the middle of the one strip that also
carries the way out of develop, the undo pair, the panel toggle and
export. A HorizontalLayout given less width than its children's minimums
does not shrink them — it runs off the end.

A tablet in portrait is 768 logical pixels, which is not enough, so
everything from the panel toggle rightwards was pushed off the right-hand
edge. Below the breakpoint the develop column is *also* closed by
default, so a toggle that could not be reached meant the column could not
be opened at all — and copy and paste live in that column. That is the
whole of "I have no idea how to copy a setting on Android and apply it to
other images": there was no way to.

The three readouts now collapse to zero width below the breakpoint. Width
and not an `if`, because this strip is inside the layout that `expanded`
feeds and a conditional child here is the shape that has already caused
binding loops in this file — and because a `visible: false` child still
takes its slot in a layout, so hiding alone would have freed nothing.

dtourolle 4d8196174c Let the grid be pinched instead of opening an image
Two separate faults, both only reachable with a second finger.

The gesture never arrived. `ScaleRotateGestureHandler` was sized `100%`
inside the Flickable, which is the Flickable's own height, not its
viewport's — so the handler was one screenful tall at the top of a
viewport thousands of rows long. A pinch is delivered to whatever lies
under the midpoint of the two fingers, so it landed on the handler only
while the grid was scrolled to the very top and found nothing anywhere
else. Sized to `viewport-height` now, exactly as `zoom-catcher` above it
already is.

And the attempt opened a photograph. When a second finger lands Slint
closes the first one's gesture by synthesising a `Released` at its
position — that is how a Flickable is persuaded to let go of a scroll it
has already claimed. A TouchArea cannot tell that release from a real one
and fires `clicked`, so every pinch opened whichever image the first
finger was resting on.

The finger id separates them: the synthetic release carries the id of the
finger that *arrived*, never the one that pressed. `clicked` fires before
the pointer event that names the finger, so it now only raises a flag and
the `up` handler decides. A mouse reports 0 for both, leaving the desktop
path exactly as it was.

dtourolle 892da2662a Keep the stars on screen long enough to click one
The rating strip was a sibling of the cell's TouchArea, declared after it
so that hit-testing reached the stars first. That half worked: a star
click set a rating without also opening the image.

The other half did not. Hover is tracked per TouchArea, and Slint sends
`Exit` to any item that drops out of the hit path. The strip taking the
pointer is exactly that — `cell-touch` left the path, `has-hover` went
false, and `show-empty` went with it. On an unrated cell the stars are
drawn *only* on hover, so they vanished as the pointer arrived at them;
the click then landed on the cell behind and opened the image. Reported
as "the star menu disappears when I click on an image", which is
precisely what it does.

Nesting the strip inside `cell-touch` keeps both halves. Children are
hit-tested before the element containing them, so a star still wins the
click and still ends the walk before `cell-clicked` runs. And an ancestor
stays on the item stack: it gets no `Exit`, and while a child holds the
grab it is handed the event filter and never the event. Hover therefore
holds for as long as the pointer is anywhere in the cell.

dtourolle 76a751f125 Measure the grid against the grid, not the whole view
`cell-size`, `columns` and `visible-rows` were all derived from the
LibraryGrid's own width and height. The cells are not drawn in that box:
the capture-time axis is a sibling of the grid, 96px of it, and the
header takes another 44px off the top.

So `columns` counted the timeline as room for thumbnails and fitted one
more column than there was space for. The last column started inside the
Flickable and ended outside it — clipped, with no sideways scroll to
reach it. At the 180px size class on a phone in portrait the timeline is
a quarter of the screen, which is most of a column.

`visible-rows` was wrong the same way and fed `capacity`, so every window
over-fetched by the ratio of the header to the viewport.

Both now read `grid-area`, the layout the cells actually live in. That is
a descendant, and reading a descendant's geometry is the shape that
causes binding loops elsewhere in this UI — but not here: nothing derived
from these feeds back into the layout. The cells are placed absolutely
inside the Flickable and a Flickable's layout constraints are a bare
`stretch: 1` that its viewport cannot influence.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 3cfa78cde2 Give the app a face and a name on the launcher
There was no icon anywhere, and on Android that was not a missing line in the
manifest. `aapt2 link` was being handed a manifest and nothing else, so the
APK carried no res/ and no resources.arsc — there was no table for an
`@mipmap/...` reference to resolve against even if one had been written.
Packaging now compiles the resource tree first and links the result in, which
is the two steps aapt2 insists on: link reads compiled input only, never a
directory.

That absent table is also why the launcher caption was blank, which had
looked like a second, separate bug. `android:label="DarkRoom"` was there and
correct the whole time, and Settings' App info read it fine; the launcher
could not, because resolving a label goes through the package's Resources and
there were none to open. Nothing about the label changed here. It came back
with the table under it.

`android:icon` then names one drawable for both icon generations, because the
`anydpi-v26` qualifier is what separates them. API 26 and up take the adaptive
icon and its three layers; the third of those, monochrome, is what lets
Android 13 recolour it rather than drop the app out of the themed set. Below
26 the same name lands on a density-matched PNG. `roundIcon` is deliberately
absent — a launcher old enough to read it is one that would ignore the
adaptive XML, and minSdk is 28.

The desktop icon is one `@image-url` on the window, and the only raster asset
in a UI that is otherwise entirely Path. The reasoning at the top of
icons.slint does not reach it: that is about glyphs a font might not carry,
and this image is never drawn by us at all. It goes to the window manager,
which wants pixels and composites them unmasked, so it is pre-shaped with
rounded corners rather than square the way the Android layers are.

Which exposed Slint's resource default. An `@image-url` compiles down to the
absolute path it had on the build machine, to be opened at runtime — already
wrong for Android, where the build happens under /work inside a container and
no such directory exists on the device, and wrong silently, as an image that
loads empty. `EmbedFiles` puts the bytes in the binary instead. It reaches
nothing else, since every glyph is a Path.

Verified on a device: the APK installs and the home screen draws both the
icon and "DarkRoom" under it, where before it had neither. In the link step
the adaptive icon resolves at all six densities and resources.arsc lands
uncompressed, which API 30 requires and the existing zipalign preserves. On
the desktop by reading _NET_WM_ICON off the running window — 256x256, as
handed over. Where that actually shows is narrower than it sounds, and the
comment says so: Wayland ignores the property in favour of matching app_id
against an installed .desktop file, which this repo does not install.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 6acc73a9fa Drag a collection onto another to nest it
The tree could be built nested but never rearranged: `set_parent` existed,
with its cycle check and its tests, and nothing in the UI called it. A
collection created in the wrong place stayed there.

Each row is already a drop target, so it becomes a `DragArea` too —
wrapped at the instantiation site the way the grid's cells are, which
keeps the row's own TouchArea nested underneath and a click still
selecting. `allow-move`, not copy: a collection has one parent, unlike a
photograph, which is filed in as many collections as you like.

The drop is handed only the target's id, so the source is remembered from
the press that precedes the drag — Slint builds the payload through a
`pure` binding, which must not have side effects. An image drag always
fills `dragging`, so an empty payload with a remembered row is
unambiguously a rearrangement; the row is taken rather than read, or a
later empty drop would move a collection nobody touched.

The library could be narrowed by rating, flag and availability, but not
by when a photograph was taken — so finding a fortnight meant scrolling
to it and holding position.

The range rides on `RatingFilter` for the reason `local_only` already
does: every query path threads that one struct, so the count in the
header cannot claim a total the grid does not draw. Undated images are
excluded whenever either end is set — they cannot be inside or outside a
span, and drawing them made the range look as though it had not applied.

Taken from the timeline rather than typed into two date fields. Finding
the period is what the histogram is for, and having found it the user
should not have to read the dates off the axis and key them back in.
The histogram keeps drawing the full extent while the range is on, or
there would be nowhere to widen back out from.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 dea826811e Render a blown highlight white instead of magenta
Every clipped sky came out bright pink. Measured, not guessed: developing
_MG_8596.CR2 and looking at the export, the subject renders correctly and only
the saturated region is wrong.

A fully clipped pixel reaches the shader as (1, 1, 1) — three photosites that
stopped counting, carrying no colour at all. The as-shot multipliers are not
neutral, so balancing sends it to (1.93, 1.00, 1.68) on this body, and the
camera matrix turns that into R 2.88, G 0.51, B 2.03. Red and blue clip at
one; green, whose matrix row is far less positive-heavy, does not. Red and
blue high with green low is magenta.

Nothing upstream was at fault, which is why the two previous attempts missed
it: the white balance is correct, the matrix is correct, and the sensor
normalisation is correct. The input simply was not a colour, and correct
arithmetic on a non-colour produces a confident wrong answer.

So saturation is detected before the balance is applied — the last 1.5% of
range, smoothstepped rather than switched, because a hard threshold draws a
visible rim around every highlight and a backlit edge on skin is where that
shows. Above it the pixel is pulled to the neutral of its own brightness, so
it keeps its luminance and loses only the cast.

Verified end to end on the file itself: the sky is white, the skin, the black
dresses and the stone are unchanged.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d2024da368 Scroll the develop column as one, histogram and all
Only the sliders scrolled. The capture metadata, the histogram, the geometry
controls and copy-and-paste all sat above them in a fixed layout, so on a
280px column in portrait they took the height the sliders needed — and the
histogram, which is the instrument the sliders are judged against, could
neither be scrolled to nor scrolled past.

The Flickable moves out of `AdjustPanel` and around the whole column. Nesting
one inside the other was not an option: a slider drag already has to be won
against one scroller, and a second would give it a third thing to be lost to.

`slider-dragging` becomes an `out` property for the same reason. The
arbitration is unchanged and still necessary — a track stands the scroller
down as soon as a finger touches it, or every attempt to drag a slider would
scroll the column instead — but the scroller obeying it now lives a level up.
The scroll gutter stays where it is, as padding inside the content: it is what
guarantees somewhere to put a thumb that means "scroll" and nothing else, and
it matters more now that it serves the entire column.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d913e50948 Select photographs with a finger, and take a collection with you
Two things a tablet could not do. Both existed for a pointer and had no
touch form at all, which on Android meant the collection sidebar was
somewhere to look at rather than somewhere to file into.

**Selecting more than one.** Ctrl-click and shift-click are the only ways
into a multi-selection, and touch has neither. Holding a cell now enters
selection mode, where a tap toggles — reported to Rust as a ctrl-press, so
it goes through the same `apply_press` as everything else rather than
growing a second copy of the selection rules. A double tap takes the run
between where selecting began and there: the touch form of shift-click,
and the reason the anchor from *before* the double tap has to be
remembered, since both of its taps move the anchor onto the cell being
tapped. A "Select" button does the same thing where a gesture would go
undiscovered (FR-UI-4).

**Filing without a drag.** A one-finger drag beginning in the grid belongs
to the Flickable that scrolls it — that is the arbitration working, not a
bug to route around — so the selection can now be filed from a sheet
listing the sidebar's own rows. Copy by default, as the drag has always
been; moving out of the collection being shown is a switch, because it is
the one that takes something away.

**Taking a collection offline.** The machinery was there and reachable only
by scoping the grid to a collection and finding a button behind a
disclosure. Holding a collection's name now asks the question directly, and
the tray on a row and the header button ask the same one — three
affordances doing two different things is how a user comes to avoid all
three. The question is asked rather than a toggle flipped because both
answers are expensive: one downloads gigabytes, the other deletes them, and
the counts and sizes go in the buttons where they are read before the tap.

`Cache::release` is new and is the destructive half `unpin` deliberately is
not. "Remove the local copies" is asked by someone whose device is full,
and withdrawing a promise while leaving the bytes for a future eviction to
notice is not an answer to it. It unpins before forgetting, or the next pin
fetch would dutifully download everything it just deleted.

The sidebar's trays read `tier_actual`, never `tier_desired`: the question
is whether these will open on the aeroplane, and a pin whose download has
not run yet answers no.

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 a8b28136a6 Merge the batch export, and settle the seven-branch merge
Resolves the last of the parallel work. Two conflicts worth recording,
because both were semantic rather than textual:

`render_for_export` gained a colour space on master while the batch branch
was rewriting the single-image export path around it. Kept both: the batch
request supersedes the synchronous path, and the space still has to be chosen
at render time because the conversion happens in the shader before the clip to
0..1. `render_open_frame` takes it as an argument rather than reaching for a
controller it does not hold.

The map-wait moved into `readback::await_mapping` on one branch while another
was editing the constant it used, so `READBACK_POLL_LIMIT` survived the merge
with no callers. Removed rather than left for clippy to find later.

1164 tests pass, clippy clean, fmt clean. Traceability 53.0% -> 54.3%.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 7d3c8c521f Export a whole selection, on a thread that is not the interface's
The export button rendered, resampled and encoded a 24 MP frame on the UI
thread and the window was dead for all of it. That was written down as a known
compromise, on the grounds that a batch is what makes the wait intolerable
rather than merely noticeable. This is the batch, so the compromise comes due.

The grid's selection now exports (FR-EXP-7). A worker thread takes a clone of
the `GpuContext` — an `Arc` pair over a device and a queue — and opens each
photograph for itself: fetch, sidecar, decode, demosaic, render at full size,
resample, sharpen, encode, write. Nothing of that touches the interface, which
keeps drawing throughout, and the progress goes where every other background
job's does: one row in the activity register, with a count and a bar.

Why the worker does not borrow the session it could have had. A
`DevelopSession` owns the `AdjustPass` the canvas renders from, so handing it
to a worker would stop the develop view drawing for the length of the batch —
the same freeze, moved. Opening a session per image instead costs a
`Demosaicer` and an `AdjustPass` each time round, and the pipeline cache is
per-pass so the composed shader is recompiled per image rather than once for
the run. Against a full-resolution decode, render and encode that is a few
percent, and it keeps this file out of the pipeline `develop` owns. A reusable
export pass is the obvious next economy if a profile ever says so.

The open image is the exception, and it is why the develop button is not simply
a one-image batch. Its edit lives in the interface's session and may not have
reached a sidecar yet, so a worker that re-opened the file would export the
saved version rather than the one on screen. That frame is therefore rendered
by the caller and handed over as `Source::Rendered`; everything after the
render — the Lanczos reduction, the encode, the write, which is the larger half
of the wait and all of its variance — still leaves the UI thread. So the
develop export is no longer synchronous, but it is not fully off-thread either,
and the doc comment says so rather than claiming otherwise.

Cancellation (NFR-ARCH-3) is an `AtomicBool` read between stages, and the
export button becomes the cancel button while a run is live — a batch that
could only be stopped by not touching the selection would be a trap. Waits on
another worker use `recv_timeout` rather than `recv`, so a cancelled batch
sitting on a forty-megabyte download gives up within 100 ms instead of when the
transfer finishes. The honest bound is worse than that: a frame already in
render has no interior stopping point, so the worst case is one image. Closing
that needs the render itself to become interruptible, which is NFR-ARCH-2's
scheduler and not a finer poll here.

Failures are per image and typed (NFR-ARCH-4). One unreadable body, one folder
that cannot be written, one server that went away — each is a message on the
channel, a line in the log, and a count in the summary, and the batch carries
on. A run with any failure keeps its row until it is cleared, because that is
the row somebody came to the list to find; a cancelled run does not, because
they asked for it.

Two collisions that look alike and are not. `CollisionPolicy` is the user's
answer to "a file of this name was already there", and Overwrite is a fine
answer to that. It is not an answer to "the frame I exported four seconds ago
was also called this" — two folders in a library each holding an IMG_0001 is
ordinary — so a name the run has already issued is always stepped past whatever
the policy says about the folder. Both halves are held by tests.

Supporting changes, each smaller than it sounds. `open_session` comes out of
`load_bytes` so the worker shares the JPEG-versus-RAW routing rather than
carrying a copy that would drift; the half that builds a `slint::Image` stays
behind, where it belongs. `LibraryController::selected_image_paths` answers
from the catalog rather than from the loaded window, because selection is by id
and survives a scrub — a selection made before scrolling routinely names
photographs no row holds. `cache_context_for` takes an id for the same reason,
so a batch reads the originals cache instead of re-downloading three hundred
files. `format_date` is shared so `{date}` and the timeline agree about what
day a photograph was taken.

Left undone, deliberately: the batch is sequential, where FR-EXP-7 asks for all
available cores. Four full-resolution frames in flight is tens of megabytes
each and a straightforward way to exhaust a tablet, and the GPU is shared with
the interface in any case. Also undone: exporting with a chosen preset rather
than the current export settings — that is FR-EXP-5's machinery, which does not
exist yet.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0233df4bf2 See what the highlights are doing: a live histogram (FR-DSP-7)
Exposure, blacks and whites were set by eye. Nothing said a highlight had
blown — the canvas shows white where a channel is at 250 and white where it is
at 255, and the difference is the whole question.

**Counted on the GPU, not on the readback.** There is a full frame sitting in
CPU memory on every canvas update right now — `AdjustPass::read_output`, the
bridge spike S1 removes — and walking it would have been thirty lines and no
shader. FR-DSP-7 states the mechanism and not just the feature: "these derive
from a GPU-side reduction into a small buffer. Per-frame CPU readback of image
data is prohibited." A histogram founded on the bridge would be correct today
and deleted by S1, and would meanwhile be the reason the bridge could not go.
What crosses the bus here is 4104 bytes whatever the image size.

The reduction tallies into workgroup memory first and merges once per
workgroup. A photograph is not noise: a clear sky puts tens of thousands of
adjacent pixels in one bin, and contending for that single global atomic
serialises the dispatch.

**On the settled frame only.** `render_now` already knows whether a gesture is
still moving — `draft` is the flag `redraw` derives from `was_coalesced` — so
the dispatch and its transfer happen once when the slider stops rather than on
each of the forty frames a drag emits. Nothing is lost: a histogram flickering
past under a finger is not a reading anyone takes. FR-DSP-7 requires exactly
this, that it not extend the FR-DSP-3 frame budget.

Luma is weighted in 8.8 fixed point — 54, 183, 19, summing to 256 exactly —
rather than in floats. Not thrift: it makes the shader's arithmetic
reproducible bit for bit, which is what lets the test below be an `assert_eq`
against a CPU count rather than a tolerance. ARCH §6.13's line about integer
state, applied where it happens to also be free.

**What the numbers were checked against.** A flat frame must put all 4096
pixels in one bin and one only. A 256-wide ramp must occupy every level with
exactly the same count, which is what catches an off-by-one in the
quantisation — a `floor` where a rounding was needed shifts the whole
photograph one bin left and looks like nothing at all. And a 101x37 frame of
seeded pseudo-random pixels — deliberately not a multiple of the 16x16
workgroup, so the edge tiles run off the image — is compared slot for slot
against a second, obvious CPU implementation. Exact equality, no tolerance.
The CPU version is a deliberate reimplementation rather than shared code: the
bugs worth catching here are ones shared code would commit identically on both
sides.

Above that, the presentation arithmetic is unit-tested headless, because it is
where a wrong answer is invisible. A histogram of the wrong shape looks exactly
as plausible as one of the right shape. So: 64 columns because it divides 256
and an uneven fold draws an even ramp as a comb; the peak excludes the end
columns, or a night scene scaled against its own black spike is a flat line
with no information in it; heights are clamped into the plot; and "0%" is kept
distinct from "<0.1%" and from "—", since an indicator reading "clipped" over
a figure reading "none" is a panel contradicting itself.

Clipping counts a *pixel* with any channel at an extreme, not a channel. Any,
because a blown red has no gradation left in it however much green and blue
still hold — and it is the saturated highlight, the sunset and the red jersey,
that clips first and recovers worst. Per pixel, because counting channels can
report 200% of a frame clipped, and a percentage above 100 is a readout nobody
trusts again.

Two affordances for it, which NFR-A11Y-3 asks for: a bar standing at the end
of the plot the tones are piling against, and a figure saying how much. Either
alone reads.

The panel sits directly under the capture metadata and above every control,
because it is what the controls are judged against. It is hand-built rather
than generated, and ARCH §4.3a is untroubled: a histogram is not an operation
— no parameters, changes nothing, answers a question rather than asking one —
and nothing in it reads a parameter out of a descriptor.

Three plot colours and a neutral luma trace join the palette. That is the
swatch's exception rather than a second one: a per-channel histogram has to
say which channel, and no achromatic treatment distinguishes red from blue, so
the hue is data exactly as the image beside it is. Held well back from full
strength for the reason the theme preamble gives.

The bounded, non-parking map wait moves out of `AdjustPass` into
`readback::await_mapping`, shared with the histogram's transfer. Thirty lines
of load-bearing reasoning about frozen interfaces and lost devices, and two
copies of it would have drifted.

The histogram describes the frame on the canvas, so it is in the output colour
space FR-DSP-7 asks for, and when zoomed it describes the visible region — a
photographer inspecting a highlight at 4x is asking about that highlight. A
device that cannot build the reduction loses the histogram and keeps the
photograph.

Still to do for FR-DSP-7: the pixel colour readout under the cursor.

324 tests pass, clippy and fmt clean.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 7f524d2fd0 Give a mis-drag a way back
Develop edits now save themselves to a sidecar the moment you leave the
image, so until this there was no way to undo one — the mistake was
persisted and the only recourse was to remember the old number.

The history is a stack of snapshots, because the edit graph is already
plain data: `Preset::capture` reduces it to what differs from default and
`Preset::apply` puts it back, so undo is those two calls and nothing else.
A command object per action, with an inverse beside it, would have been a
second thing every operation had to register — and operations are declared
in YAML precisely so that a new one needs no code written for it. A
snapshot cannot fall behind them.

The interesting part is coalescing. A slider drag emits an event per frame
and must be one step, not forty. Nothing in the interface reports a gesture
boundary — the same wall the render coalescing hit, and it is answered the
same way rather than by threading a "finger is down" out of every slider,
curve point and crop handle. What stands in for the boundary is the control
plus recency: changes to the same control within 700 ms amend one step.
Which control is "the same" is asked of the graph, not listed: an operation
whose declared presentation claims a parameter is one where a single
gesture moves several — a curve point carries an x and a y — so those
coalesce as one widget. Nothing in the history names the tone curve.

The compromise, and it is a real one: a control let go of and picked up
again within the window is one step rather than two. Buying the other
answer costs a gesture-boundary signal on every control, which is more
surface than the difference is worth.

The stack is bounded at 64 states for NFR-RES-1 — a develop session stays
open for hours. Sixty-four rather than a byte cap: what is being bounded is
steps a photographer would want back, and a byte cap would give the
elaborate edit the shallowest history, which is exactly backwards.

The session owns its history and every mutator records into it, so the
callbacks in `lib.rs` cannot change the edit and forget to — with a dozen
generic callbacks that would have been one press of undo away from wrong
every time a control was added. Opening a photograph makes its stored edit
the floor rather than a step: it is not work done in this sitting, and an
undo reaching behind it would discard a previous session's edit and then
save that on the way out.

Not yet done, from FR-DEV-5: history is per-session and in memory, and
there are no named snapshots. What mattered was that a saved mis-drag had
no way back at all.

White balance, highlights and shadows, and the mixer took a press, jumped once,
and went dead under the finger. Exposure and contrast dragged perfectly — which
is what made it read as a slider bug rather than a layout one.

The panel nested. A group's head row drew the *whole* group, repeating over
`row.group-len` and indexing back into `root.rows`; every other row drew
nothing. So the inner repeater's model was read off the head row, and depended
on that row's identity. Moving any parameter in the group rewrites that row —
its own value changed, or `group-modified` flipped for its neighbours —
which re-evaluated the repeater, rebuilt its items, and destroyed the
`TouchArea` holding the live gesture. A lone parameter had no inner repeater,
so the five single-parameter operations were never affected.

Now each row draws only itself, so an update touches one control and nothing
structural. The facet heading comes off `starts-facet`, which Rust already
marks on the first row of a run, and the group heading is drawn by the row that
heads it. It also retires the old hazard of a head row building every control
in its group — thirty-six live TouchAreas behind the mixer's twelve visible
ones.

The same identity hazard reached the rows themselves through `ModelRc`, which
compares by identity rather than contents: a fresh empty model per row per call
made every row differ from itself, so `sync_rows` rewrote all of them on every
event. `points` now shares one empty model as `choices` already did.

Both are held by tests, because the failure is invisible in a still — every
value is right and the panel looks perfect. Curve rows are excluded: their
points model carries live coordinates, is rebuilt by design, and `sync_rows`
writes values through the existing model rather than swapping it.

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 e7130ff891 Give the library header somewhere to put six buttons
A tablet in portrait is 1920 physical pixels at density 400 — 768 logical,
which is below the 820 breakpoint, so the library was already taking the
compact layout. The compact header simply was not compact: one flat
HorizontalLayout holding a menu button, a title, three status readouts and
six buttons.

Slint's HorizontalLayout has no wrap and no overflow. Given less width than
its children want it shrinks each to its minimum and lets the rest run past
the edge, so "Change library" arrived as "Change li…", the readouts elided to
nothing useful, and the row overflowed anyway.

The six actions move into a `HeaderActions` component drawn in one of two
places: inline in the header when expanded, and in a disclosure row under it
behind a "More" button when compact. One component rather than two copies,
because the alternative is six buttons with their visibility rules and
callbacks written twice, and the copy that rots is the one behind a
disclosure nobody opens while testing.

The row closes itself when the window widens, so rotating to landscape does
not leave a stray toolbar behind. "More" is a word rather than an ellipsis
glyph: "⋯" sitting in a header of elided labels reads as one more truncation,
which is the failure this change exists to remove.

`LibraryGrid` takes `expanded` to decide, from the window width rather than
the device (FR-UI-1) — so a narrow desktop window gets the same treatment.

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.

A cull is thousands of decisions. The grid already bound 0-5, P, X and U so
the judgement itself needs no mouse, and then made the photographer reach
for one to move to the next frame — which is most of the gesture, most of
the time. Arrows now move a cursor, shift+arrow extends the selection,
Home/End and PageUp/PageDown cover ground, and Return opens what the cursor
is on.

The cursor is a library ordinal, not a row of the loaded window. The window
is a few screenfuls around wherever the user is looking, so a cursor held as
a row would stop at its edge or keep counting into cells belonging to other
photographs; walking out of the window reloads it around the new position,
exactly as scrolling does. This is the argument the selection already made
by keying on ids rather than rows.

The anchor had that fault for real: it was a window row, so a shift-click
after a scroll extended from whatever image had since drifted into it. It is
an ordinal now, and apply_press takes the window's offset to map between the
two. A range longer than the loaded window truncates to what is loaded,
since selection is by id and an image the catalog has not been asked for has
none.

The pointer and the keyboard share select_row so the two cannot drift apart.
The one deliberate difference: a plain arrow collapses the selection onto
the cursor, where a plain click on an already-selected cell leaves it alone
— that exception exists so a multi-image drag can start from one of its
members, and there is no drag behind a keystroke.

The grid scrolls to the cursor only when the cursor leaves the viewport, and
then by as little as will do it. Reusing the scrub's seek() would put the
cursor's row at the top on every press, which makes a row unreadable as you
walk along it.

The mixer was thirty-six sliders reading "Hue / Sat / Lum" twelve times
over with nothing saying which band any row belonged to. The identity was
there all along — the descriptor declares param.mixer.orange.sat and BANDS
carries orange at 30° — and was discarded on the way out: labels.rs had no
mixer entries, so every key fell through to a derived label that yields the
bare channel name.

A parameter can now say which aspect it adjusts and which subject it
adjusts it on, with the subject's hue where the subject is a colour
(descriptor::Facet). That is data about what the operation does, not a
layout: the mixer genuinely weights pixels around 30°. What to draw from
30°, and in what order to stack the runs, stay in dr-ui (ARCH §4.3a) —
develop.rs brings rows sharing an aspect together and marks the first of
each, and adjust.slint names the run once and draws a swatch, a track and a
readout on one line.

Grouped by channel rather than by band because an edit is almost never
"everything about orange"; it is the saturation of the greens, made by
comparing one channel across neighbouring bands. Twelve band sections put
those twelve rows in twelve different places.

The swatch is the label, which is what makes twelve rows fit where four
did. The band name is not lost: it is the row's accessible label, so the
control is not colour-only, and labels.rs is where the mapping is written
down — including chartreuse as "Yellow-Green" and spring as "Blue-Green",
since nobody hunting foliage scans a list for "Spring".

A strip down the right-hand edge of the panel that no control reaches, so
there is always somewhere to put a thumb that means "scroll" and nothing
else.

This is the other half of the slider arbitration. A `SliderTrack` stands
the Flickable down the moment a finger touches it, which is what makes
dragging an adjustment reliable — and the price is that the track can no
longer be dragged past. What was left to scroll from was the ~20px band of
label between one control and the next, which on a panel that is mostly
tracks means aiming rather than reaching. Reserving the space outright is
the honest version of what had been left to chance.

Padding rather than a spacer element, and that is what makes it work: the
strip is inside the Flickable but no child is laid out into it, so nothing
puts a TouchArea over it. A press there reaches the Flickable directly,
with no arbitration to lose.

A full touch target wide (FR-UI-3). A gutter too narrow to hit confidently
would be the problem it was added to fix, in a smaller space. It costs the
tracks about 44px of a 280px column, which leaves travel enough that the
readout still moves a step per pixel at the precisions the descriptors ask
for.

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.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 cd75e5a4c6 Run the library from local data when the server is unreachable
Also carries in-flight work that shared these files: the zoom structure-key
fix in the adjust pipeline, nearest-neighbour filtering past 1:1, the
timeline scrub marker correction, the 423-Locked retry in the metadata
sweep, and the thumbnail size-class migration.

# Offline mode (FR-CAT-9)

The app previously assumed the server was reachable and treated its absence
as a series of unrelated per-operation failures. A launch without a
connection produced an empty grid, even with a complete catalog on disk and
every thumbnail already in the shards.

Reachability is now inferred from traffic the app was already making, rather
than probed for. `RemoteError::indicates_offline` draws the line that makes
this possible: a dead connection is offline, a 403 or a 500 is not — the
server answered, so blanking the library over one forbidden file would be a
worse error than the one being reported. `Reachability` turns those outcomes
into a state, so a library browsing happily never issues a probe at all.

Going offline takes one failure, because the user is already experiencing it.
Coming back requires evidence — a completed scan or a fetched thumbnail —
with a capped exponential backoff behind the manual retry, so twelve sweep
lanes failing together do not schedule twelve immediate probes.

What keeps working: the catalog opens even when the scan that normally
provides it failed, so the grid fills from the last successful scan.
Thumbnails come from the shards. Rating, flagging and collecting are catalog
writes that never touched the network. What stops is opening an original that
was never stored locally, and it now says so in those words instead of
reporting "network error: connection refused" over a photograph.

Work that is pure network is refused rather than left to fail slowly: the
metadata sweep, derived sync, and sidecar writes. The sweep would otherwise
spend a timeout per image across the whole library while the progress bar
implied something was happening. Deferring sidecars is a real gap rather than
a hidden one — a rating made offline reaches its sidecar only when that image
is judged again while connected — and it is recorded as such at the call site.

# The "On this device" filter

A chip beside the rating filters, narrowing the grid to images whose original
is held locally. It composes with the rating terms rather than replacing them,
so "five-star frames I can actually edit on this train" is one filter. The
predicate is SQL, like the rating terms and for the same reason: the count in
the header has to agree with the cells drawn.

It reads `image_cache.tier_actual`, which nothing writes yet — the next
commit fills it. Until then the chip honestly reports zero.

`Tier` gains an explicit on-disk encoding. The variants are ordered by
generosity and the derived `Ord` invites reordering them, which would
silently reinterpret every cached row; the round-trip test is what holds the
two in agreement.

The marker was drawn from a bucket index while a click reported a
fraction of the track. Those are different quantities: bars each occupy
one equal slot whatever span of time they cover, and the index snapped
to the containing bucket's start edge, so the marker landed at the top
of whichever slot held the instant — close enough to pass on a dense
uniform axis, plainly wrong on a sparse one, and never under the click.

Send the fraction instead, computed as the exact inverse of the
interpolation the scrub handler applies, and position the marker from
it. Marker and click are now the same quantity by construction.

Scrolling the grid also left the marker behind: only an explicit scrub
ever wrote the position, so the axis claimed to say "when you are" and
stopped being true the moment the wheel moved. Map the first visible row
back to a capture time and move the marker with it.

That runs on every scroll event rather than behind the window-reload
guard, which fires a few times per screenful and would make the marker
advance in jerks. Only the marker moves, not the bars: rebuilding those
means a GROUP BY aggregate over the library, far too much for a flick,
and they do not change as the grid scrolls anyway.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d49b4b41de Add thumbnail size classes and grid zoom; fix the scrub ordinal
The grid now zooms, which needs thumbnails at two resolutions rather than
one, and exposed a scrub that landed in the wrong place.

**Two thumbnail size classes.** `ThumbSize::Grid` (256px, ~10 KB) and
`Large` (1024px, ~45 KB), with the class part of the store key so both
coexist. Storing everything large would take the reference library from
~200 MB to ~860 MB, and shards sync, so that is transfer cost on every
device rather than only disk. A store written before the class existed
migrates in place: its entries are all grid-sized, which is what the
column defaults to, so nothing already fetched is discarded.

`forget` now drops every size for an image. Reading a single row left the
other class's bytes on the shard's tally for good, sealing it early on
space nothing occupied.

**Grid zoom.** Ctrl+wheel and pinch resize cells between 90px and 420px in
geometric steps, so the gesture feels the same at either end where a fixed
pixel step would be imperceptible at 400px and violent at 90px. Crossing
256px switches to the large class, so a zoomed cell is sharp rather than
upscaled. Columns and window capacity already derived from cell size, so
the grid reflows for free.

**The scrub landed about half a library too high.** It counted only dated
images while the grid shows all of them — 10,733 dated against 19,841
rows — and ignored `shadowed_by`. Verified against the live catalog: the
old formula gave 10,887, the new one 10,732, the true grid position
10,732. The scrub's count and the grid's window must use identical
predicates and ordering; a test now fails if they diverge.

**Timeline gestures are continuous.** Scrub and pan were quantised to
whole buckets, so a slow drag did nothing until it crossed a boundary and
then jumped a month. Both work in fractions of the visible span now, and
pinch-to-zoom arrives for tablet, where there is no wheel to reach the
axis with.

The pinch accumulator was wrong on first writing: it took at most one step
per update, so an 8x spread — three doublings — yielded one zoom level.
`log2().trunc()` now extracts every whole doubling and carries the
remainder. The original test asserted the wrong number and defended it in
a comment, which is worth remembering: a test can entrench a bug as
readily as catch one.

dtourolle 9a24623e35 Fix the workspace build off-device
Two breaks that only appeared on a full `cargo test --workspace`.

`slint::android` exists only when compiling for Android, so darkroom-android
failed to compile on the host even though it is a workspace member. The entry
point is now gated on the target rather than on a feature.

The timeline forwarded `scrub` where the Timeline component declares
`scrub-to`, which the Slint compiler rejects.

dtourolle 8ad5c86ff9 Add the library, collections, and trash views; theme from style.yaml
The UI gains the views the catalog work was building toward: a windowed
library grid with ratings and flags, the collection tree with drag-to-add,
and trash with restore. derived_sync pushes thumbnail shards and the catalog
snapshot to the server's derived folder.

Tokens now have one source of truth. build.rs reads style.yaml and generates
theme.slint into OUT_DIR, which answers every existing
`import { Theme } from "theme.slint"` unchanged, because Slint resolves
imports against the importing file's directory first and the include paths
after. Generating into OUT_DIR rather than beside the hand-written Slint is
the point: a generated file sitting in ui/ looks exactly like the files
around it that are meant to be edited, and an edit to it would survive until
the next touch of style.yaml — a bug that hides for weeks. build.rs fails
loudly if a stale ui/theme.slint exists, which would otherwise shadow the
generated one silently and make every palette change vanish with no error.

The palette moves to near-neutral dark with achromatic signalling, so the
accent means "modified" or "active" rather than "heading". Shared components
land in widgets.slint: a token that binds several values into one concept is
a component, not a row in a YAML file.

Adds an optional live-style feature that makes the tokens in-out so they can
be written at startup — a feature rather than the default because it stops
the properties being constant-folded.

serde_norway is the YAML crate: serde_yaml and serde_yml are both deprecated,
and its mappings preserve insertion order, which is what lets the generated
Slint keep the token ordering the author chose.

dtourolle 2ca1716a29 Make "Choose folder" an actual folder picker
It previously fetched the folder list and threw it away into a status
line — a button that looked like it worked and did not. Now it opens a
browsable picker: click a folder to descend, ".." to go back, "Use this
folder" to select, "Cancel" to leave the root unchanged.

Descends one level per click because that is what the backend supports:
Depth: infinity is frequently disabled server-side and prohibitively
expensive where it is not (ARCH §8.4).

The chosen root persists immediately on confirm, so it survives a crash
before the library is opened. Confirming at the account root is allowed —
a user may legitimately keep everything at the top level — and cancelling
leaves any previous selection untouched, which a test asserts.

Verified against nextcloud.tourolle.paris at both depths: 30 folders at
the root, 21 year-folders inside PhotosRaw.

19 launch tests, 38 in dr-ui.

dtourolle f630a3ff81 Wire the launch screen into the app
The app now opens on the login screen when there is nothing else to show
— no local paths and no configured library — and goes straight to the
images otherwise. Making someone click past a login they already
completed is pure friction.

  launch.slint       imported by app.slint, replacing the window rather
                     than overlaying it: there is no library to look at
                     until an account is configured
  launch_ui.rs       the Slint wiring, kept out of lib.rs so the launch
                     flow can change without touching the develop window

Login runs on a worker thread and posts results back through a channel,
since Slint's event loop is single-threaded and a 20-minute browser wait
cannot block it. The system browser is opened via xdg-open, never an
embedded webview (FR-NC-1).

Sign-out deletes the local credential even if server-side revocation
fails: a network error must not leave a usable secret on the machine.
Format tick-boxes persist on each toggle, so a selection survives a
crash before the library is opened.

Two things deliberately incomplete rather than faked:

  - "Choose folder" lists the account's folders and reports them, but
    there is no picker widget yet, so selection still happens via the
    connect example.
  - "Open library" logs the request. Opening a remote library needs the
    scan-and-cache path, which belongs with the catalog work in flight.

Earlier I broke the other in-flight dr-ui work by calling
slint_build::compile twice, which replaces the generated module. The
correct wiring is an import inside app.slint, which is what this does.

30 dr-ui tests passing; both launch paths verified by running the app.

dtourolle 09e3043f4c Add secure credential storage, sessions, and a launch screen
Login now persists properly rather than through the JSON file the test
harness was using.

  dr-plat            SecretStore trait plus a Secret Service backend.
                     Verified against the live GNOME Keyring: store,
                     retrieve, delete, confirm-gone all round-trip.
  Session/SessionStore   splits credentials from settings — the app
                     password goes to the keyring (FR-NC-2), while
                     server, login, chosen root and format selection are
                     ordinary config. A test asserts the credential never
                     appears in the config file.
  LaunchModel        the launch-screen state machine, testable without a
                     display server: sign in, approve in browser, choose
                     folder, tick formats, sign out.
  launch.slint       the screen itself, in its own file.

Absence of a secrets daemon is an explicit degraded mode, not a silent
fallback to plaintext — the screen says sign-in will not persist rather
than letting the user find out next launch. Android's Keystore backend
fails loudly for the same reason: a no-op store would look like it
worked and then lose the credential.

Two bugs caught by tests rather than by running it:

  - fail() after busy() signed the user out, because busy() had already
    discarded the session. A failed *scan* would have logged you out.
    Busy now carries the session.
  - normalise_server upgrades http:// to https:// rather than accepting
    it. NFR-SEC-3 requires TLS, and silently sending a credential in the
    clear is not a decision to make on the user's behalf.

launch.slint is not yet wired into app.slint. Calling slint_build::compile
twice replaces the generated module rather than adding to it, which broke
the other in-flight work on dr-ui; I reverted that immediately. Wiring it
needs an import inside app.slint, which is that work's file to change.

419 tests passing across ten crates.
