dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 96a7b405c2 Say which photograph the sliders are pointed at
Selecting a mask layer silently re-points about thirty controls at that layer's
chain. Same panel, same order, same sliders, different meaning — and the only
thing that said so was a sentence in the panel above, which a photographer
reaching for the exposure slider has no reason to read. An exposure change
lands on the whole frame when it was meant for a face, or the reverse; both are
silent, and both are discovered later. `ui-navigation.md` §1.1 calls it the
dangerous one and it is: the others in that document cost time, this one costs
work.

The remedy is the classic one for a modal fault — make the mode visible — and
the application already had the pattern. Crop arms a canvas interaction, draws
an overlay, gives the column one job and is left by the control that entered
it. Local masking is the same animal built as a peer panel, and that is what
created the ambiguity. So `crop-mode` stops being a bare boolean and becomes
one value of a three-state mode, which is the point: two modes could both be on
before, and now that is not a state the interface can be in rather than one it
is tested against.

**One strip, not two.** The mode control was going to sit beside the group
strip that filters the adjustments, which is two controls above one column
answering the same question — what am I working on. They are one control now,
`Crop · Local │ All · Light · Colour`, which is the shape Lightroom Mobile's
bottom strip has for the same reason. The two halves are different kinds of
state and are drawn differently: a mode is a chip that fills with the accent
when it is on, a group is a word with a rule under it. That difference is what
lets both be read at once, which they routinely are — picking Light while a
mask is selected filters *that layer's* chain and does not leave the mode.
Dropping the scope on a group press would be the same fault coming back from
the other end, and would make Light mean two things depending on where it was
pressed.

The strip stays pinned above the develop column rather than moving to the top
of the canvas as the document proposed. The half that filters the column
belongs to the column, and the photograph is the subject. The canvas keeps one
button, which now names the mode it leaves rather than saying "Done" — that was
unambiguous with one mode and would not be with two — because the column can be
closed on a narrow window and no mode may be inescapable.

Entering a mode is a side effect, so Rust owns it rather than the strip writing
the property: crop drops the zoom, local turns the overlay on, and leaving
clears the selection. That last one is the fix. The "Overlay" and "Select"
toggles are gone because they armed things that are simply what the mode *is* —
a mode that has to be switched on separately is one you can enter and have do
nothing. Escape and the Android back gesture join `back_step` as one
`LeaveMode` rather than a second exit concept, and the mode is left before the
zoom is: it was entered later, and it is the bigger step back.

The heading is where the scope goes. Not a caption beside the panel, the
heading *of* the panel that changed — `ADJUST` becomes the layer's name, the
same string the selected row in the stack shows. That is the difference between
describing a hazard and removing it.

**Handles on the photograph.** A linear or radial mask could be created and
then not moved, so a radial sat at the centre of the frame at its default size
for ever. Three faults stood in the way of drawing one.

The first is that a gradient did not render at all until the model had run. The
rasteriser was built on the way out of `segment` and the array's size was read
*off* the segmentation, so a gradient added to an unsegmented photograph
produced nothing — silently, in the same way exports and thumbnails once did:
the shader still emits the layer's block and the empty placeholder multiplies it
by zero. The proxy size is a property of the photograph. Both are derived from
it now, and deliberately at the same size rather than by coincidence, because a
subject's distance field is sampled against that array.

The second is hit-testing. A handle is drawn in output coordinates and stored
in source ones, and between them lie the crop, the zoom, the pan, the
straightening and the turns. `Framing::source_at` is `wgsl_prologue` evaluated
on the CPU, kept in that file beside it so that keeping the two in step is one
file's problem — a handle mapped through anything less drifts off the mask the
moment the view moves, which is exactly what masks are rasterised in source
space to avoid.

The third is that a drag is a displacement, not a destination. Each handle
answers to the movement of the pointer since the press, applied to where the
mask was when the press landed. Snapping the handle to the pointer instead
jerks it by up to half a touch target on the first press, and the target is
finger-sized because a tablet has no hover to reveal a control and no modifier
to qualify it.

A ramp gets three handles — centre, width, angle. An ellipse gets three too:
centre and one per semi-axis, the major one carrying the direction as well as
the length, because where an axis is put says both. It had a fourth, and it is
gone: standing off the shape by a fixed distance, the rotation arm began
outside the photograph at the size a new radial is created at, so the first
thing anyone saw was a control they could not reach without first shrinking the
mask.

Two faults here were found by looking at the screen rather than at the source,
both of the kind that cannot be found any other way. A `1px` rule with a size
and no position is *centred* by Slint, so the seam between the photograph and
the column was a hairline down the middle of the panel, through the histogram
and every slider under it — twice, once in `app.slint` and once in
`AdjustPanel`. And handing Slint a fresh model for the handles on every pointer
event made the repeater rebuild its items, taking the `TouchArea` holding the
gesture with them: the handle jumped once and then went dead under a finger
that was still down. `develop.rs` carries the same warning about the parameter
rows, where it broke slider drags; the model is rewritten in place now.

The tests worth having are the ones about ambiguity and about the map. That the
same row reads the frame's value, then the layer's, then the frame's again is
§1.1 in one assertion. That dragging a handle onto another gradient's matching
handle *produces* that gradient closes the loop between the two directions of
the framing map, through a view that is cropped, zoomed, panned, straightened
and quarter-turned at once — a one-legged map is invisible when the framing is
neutral, because then both legs are the identity.

Not done here: the histogram still reports the whole frame while the sliders
edit a layer. That disagreement is real and is N3's, which this unblocks. The
strip has room for a Brush entry beside Crop and Local when the painted masks
land in the core, and it needs nothing here but the canvas interaction.

dtourolle 7421837c8a Let an operation say what it is about, so the panel can group without naming
Tool tabs need a taxonomy, and the taxonomy was the problem: a table in
`ui/` mapping operation to tab breaks FR-DEV-3a, and a `group:` field risks
what `ui-refinement.md` condemned `starts-group` for — the core deciding
where the panel draws things.

`Attribute` threads the needle. It says what an operation *is* — tone,
colour, detail, optics, geometry, effect — which is the same category as
`ParamKind` and squarely on the core's side of ARCH §4.3a's line. What is
drawn, where it sits and whether it is visible stay the frontend's. There is
no attribute for "the third tab", the enum's order is declaration order
rather than screen order, and a frontend may render these as tabs, as
headings, or ignore them.

The payoff is that a tab strip can be *derived*: the groups are the
attributes present in the capability list, so the interface names no
operation and needs no table to keep in step. An operation joins the right
group by declaring what it is, which is the one thing its author is well
placed to say.

Plural, because the tone curve is genuinely both — an RGB curve is tonal and
the per-channel curves are chromatic, and filing it under one would hide it
from half the people looking for it.

Required and non-empty, enforced in `build.rs`, and the failure was checked
by removing the line rather than assumed. An operation with no attribute is
invisible to a panel that groups by them; a build that stops costs ten
seconds, a control nobody can find costs more. The vocabulary is closed for
the same reason: a typo would otherwise invent a category holding exactly one
operation, which looks like a deliberate one until somebody counts.

Six tests over the real chain, including the hand-written operations that
`build.rs` never sees and so cannot check.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 f76e024f41 Straighten a portrait frame in the frame the user is looking at
The framing prologue built the centred position `p` by scaling with the
source's aspect, then straightened, then permuted the quarter turns. On a
landscape frame those are one space and it worked. Once a turn has swapped
the axes — the rotate button, or a file whose EXIF tag says the camera was
held sideways — they are not: `p` was measured with the source's ruler on a
frame that is no longer that shape, stretching one axis against the other by
(w/h)², which is 2.25 on a 3:2 photograph.

The quarter-turn permutation happened to undo that stretch, so rotation alone
looked right, which is how this survived. The straighten in between did not,
and a rotation in a space whose axes carry different scales is a shear.

`p` is now built in `frame_aspect` — the frame as the user sees it — and the
permutation becomes the one place the two rulers meet: each axis divided by
the aspect it is read from, multiplied by the aspect it is written to.

Asserted on pixels rather than on the generated WGSL, because reading the
shader and reasoning about which space `p` lives in is how the wrong formula
got written in the first place: a disc, straightened by 20° on a turned 3:2
frame, must come back circular by every route to a swapped frame — the
button, the tag, and the two composed.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 69b12e327f Let framing say it wants the canvas, instead of the panel knowing
The generated panel opened with a special case:

    if op.id == dr_pipeline::framing::ID { continue; }

and a paragraph explaining that framing's eight parameters are eight bad
controls — four crop edges you would have to type coordinates into, a "rotate"
slider running 0..3, two switches — so `GeometryPanel` presents them as the
gestures they are instead.

Every word of that is true, and none of it was the frontend's to know. It is a
fact about the operation, and ARCH §4.3a is explicit that a frontend deciding
things by *naming a stage* is the boundary being crossed: a second frontend
would have had to learn the same special case, and nothing in the capability
output said why it existed.

Framing now declares a `Presentation` preferring `WidgetKind::CropOverlay`,
with a demand of two-dimensional dragging and — deliberately — no precise
pointing, since FR-UI-7 grows the handles to the modality and a crop is
forgiving. The widget owns all eight parameters rather than only the rect: a
frontend taking this on takes the whole framing control surface, and leaving
rotation and the flips behind would scatter them into the generated panel
underneath a crop control that already exists.

The panel's rule is now general. `supported` answers whether a kind is
implemented *anywhere* — drawn in the panel like the tone curve, or hosted on
the canvas like the crop — and `is_on_canvas` settles which afterwards, so the
two cannot disagree about the same kind. Any stage preferring an on-canvas
widget is skipped, with nothing named. A frontend that implements neither still
gets the eight sliders: tedious, complete, and the guarantee the whole hint
mechanism rests on.

**The tests were asserting against the wrong thing.** `rows_of` was a
hand-written simulation of the row generator, complete with its own copy of the
framing skip, so the suite was checking a second implementation kept in step by
hand. It was not in step: giving framing a presentation changed the real panel
and the simulation disagreed, which is exactly how a green suite hides a
regression. It now calls `rows_from`, and `rows_of_unfiltered` is gone.

`framing_is_not_generated_as_sliders` survives but asserts by routing rather
than by counting — no row may carry framing's capability index — so it cannot
be satisfied by two miscounts cancelling out. Alongside it, an invented stage
preferring a widget this frontend lacks, falling back to one the canvas hosts,
must also be skipped: if that ever needs a name added to pass, the special case
has grown back.

Not included: moving the crop overlay's markup out of app.slint into
controls.slint. It is cosmetic next to the above and app.slint is in another
session's working set.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 489465faf0 Show the photograph the way it was taken
Nothing read EXIF orientation, so every frame from a body held sideways
lay on its side — in the grid, in develop, and in the read-only preview.

The tag is honoured as part of *reading the file*, at the same standing
as a RAW's masked-photosite crop, never as an edit. It lives as a
baseline on Framing rather than as a starting value for quarter_turns,
which is what keeps four things true: a sideways file opens unmodified,
reset returns it to upright rather than to the sensor's scan order, its
sidecar stays empty, and the rotate button still moves the image 90°
whatever the file underneath it says.

Framing::effective composes the baseline with the user's own turns
through the group law rather than by adding turns and OR-ing flags. The
naive version gets one case wrong — an odd baseline turn plus a user
mirror — and gets it wrong quietly, because the result is still a
plausible orientation. The composition collapses to a single
permutation, so obeying the tag costs nothing per pixel.

dr_decode::orientation is a header-only IFD walk, separate from
metadata() for the reason the entry points are separate at all: the grid
asks once per cell and must not build a rawler decoder to get one tag.
CR3 and RAF fall back to the full read, being neither TIFF nor JPEG.

Written down as FR-DEV-3h.

Known gap: thumbnails cached before this stay sideways. The store is
keyed by file and size, and its shards sync — invalidating them would
have every client re-download 25 MB a shard, which is not this commit's
call to make.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 03326242a1 Make the CI checks say what they mean, and format the workspace
Build and test / Desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 1h23m26s
Build and test / Android (aarch64) (push) Failing after 2s
Build and test / Layer separation (push) Successful in 50s
Traceability / Requirement traces (push) Failing after 1m9s
The Android job's "Verify minimum API level" step has never verified the
minimum API level. It took the first `*.so` anywhere under the target
directory, which is a host proc-macro from debug/deps — an x86-64 object
built by the runner's gcc, whose .comment section cannot mention Android
and so can never contradict the expected value. It now reads the artifact
under the target triple, compares against MIN_API parsed from the
Dockerfile rather than a second copy of the number, and fails on a
mismatch. Both sides are checked non-empty first: two failed parses would
otherwise compare equal and pass, which is the same silent success in a
new costume.

The Android image installs one SDK package per layer and keeps the
output. sdkmanager is a JVM program that aborts when it cannot get memory,
and the single `> /dev/null` step reported that as a bare "exit code 134"
while a retry re-downloaded everything that had already succeeded.

tools/ci-local.sh runs all four jobs — desktop, android, layering,
traceability — against the host toolchain, which is pinned to the same
1.92.0 CI installs. Its matrix check compares regeneration against the
working tree rather than against HEAD: CI starts from a clean checkout, so
git's answer is the right one there and reports every local run stale here.

The rest is rustfmt across the workspace, and the clippy findings that
surfaced once it did: manual_contains in dr-thumbs and collections_ui, a
map iterated as pairs for its keys, an index loop over a slice, and two
runtime assertions on a constant now made at compile time.

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.

dtourolle 050dcff5bb Add viewport zoom to the framing
A view rect that composes with the crop in the same normalised space:
nesting one rect in the other is a multiply, so the shader needs no second
rect and no extra uniform slot.

Zoom is explicitly not an edit. It is excluded from is_active, from the
structure hash, and from the sidecar, so a zoomed view exports exactly as an
unzoomed one does. is_neutral now asks the framing whether it *edits* rather
than whether it is active — otherwise merely zooming would mark a clean file
dirty.

Because the render target keeps its size while the sampled region shrinks,
zooming raises the resolution the pipeline works at rather than magnifying
already-rendered pixels, which is what makes 1:1 inspection show real detail.

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.

dtourolle c8bb08e661 Add folder scan with format selection; validate A3 on a real library
Library setup as the user described it: pick a folder, choose which RAW
types to look for, scan recursively.

  dr-types::FormatFilter  the tick-box selection, seeing through VFS
                          placeholder suffixes so a dehydrated CR2 still

Verified against nextcloud.tourolle.paris (34.0.2) on a real library:

  browse root      32 entries, 98ms
  scan PhotosRaw   17,185 RAW files in 334 directories, 34.1s
                   (7,836 CR2 + 9,349 DNG)
  range read       262KB of a 21.5MB DNG in 119ms — 1.22% of the file,
                   and enough to read "Canon EOS 6D | ISO 100"

That last line is assumption A3 validated on real data. Cataloguing this
library by whole-file fetch would move roughly 370GB; the range path
moves a few MB.

Pruning is capability-gated rather than assumed: with per-entry ETags a
probe costs a request and proves nothing about children, so it is skipped
entirely. A test asserts zero probes in that case.

Still unresolved: /core/preview returns 400 for every parameter
combination tried, including on a JPEG the server reports as having a
preview. Not a request-shape bug — it fails identically bare. Recorded
rather than worked around; ARCH §6.7 already treats server previews as
opportunistic, so nothing depends on it.
