Let a binary name the release it came from

The workspace version has read 0.1.0 since before v0.2.0 was tagged, so every
binary built from this tree has reported itself two releases stale. The cost
lands on whoever reads a bug report quoting it: the version names a commit
from before either release, and they go looking in the wrong place.

Sets the workspace to 0.3.0. The tag stays the release identity; this only
makes the tree agree with it.

+# DarkRoom
+
+A cross-platform, non-destructive RAW photo editor for Linux and Android.
+
+**Status:** early. v0.1 is a remote library viewer — see
+[docs/milestone-v0.1.md](docs/milestone-v0.1.md).
+
+## Documentation
+
+| Document | Contents |
+|---|---|
+| [requirements.md](docs/requirements.md) | What the software must do — 122 numbered requirements |
+| [architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) | How it is built — crates, GPU pipeline, data model, sync |
+| [milestone-v0.1.md](docs/milestone-v0.1.md) | The first buildable milestone |
+
+## Building
+
+Desktop:
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p darkroom-desktop
+```
+
+Android (containerised toolchain, see [docker/android](docker/android/README.md)):
+
+```bash
+./docker/android/build.sh cargo ndk -t arm64-v8a build --release
+```
+
+## Current state
+
+Working: workspace, GPU context and compute pass, adaptive Slint shell, Android
+cross-compilation of the core crates.
+
+**Not yet working:** the zero-copy display path. The build currently uploads
+frames through the CPU, which is exactly what
+[ARCH §6.1](docs/architecture.md) forbids — measured at 96% of frame time at
+4K. Replacing it is spike S1, the project's highest priority.
+
+```
+cargo run -p dr-gpu --example bench --features readback
+```
+
+reproduces that measurement.

+//!
+//! # Two populations, one table
+//!
+//! An original ends up here two ways, and conflating them produces exactly the
+//! failure the whole feature exists to prevent.
+//!
+//! **Pinned** originals were asked for. A user pins a collection before a trip
+//! and expects those photographs to be there when there is no connection —
+//! that 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 the user could not rely on it without
+//! checking.
+//!
+//! **Passively cached** originals are a side effect of working: opening an
+//! image in develop downloads it, so keeping the bytes costs nothing extra and
+//! saves the whole transfer next time. This population is bounded by
+//! [`Budget`] and evicted least-recently-used, because it grows without limit
+//! otherwise — a day of culling would fill a disk.
+//!
+//! The two budgets are separate rather than shared. Sharing them means a large
+//! pin starves the passive cache, or worse, that browsing evicts a pin.
+//!
+//! # What this module does and does not own
+//!
+//! It owns the *bookkeeping*: which images are held, at what tier, how large,
+//! when last used, and which are pinned. The bytes are files under a cache
+//! directory, and [`store`](Cache::store) writes them; but deciding to
+//! download something is the caller's business, because that needs a network
+//! and this crate has none.
+//!
+//! # Why `tier_actual` is the truth
+//!
+//! `tier_desired` is what a pin asks for; `tier_actual` is what is on disk.
+//! Only the second answers "can this be opened right now", which is the
+//! question offline mode asks (FR-CAT-9). A pinned image whose download has
+//! not run yet is precisely the one that would fail, so it must not report as

+//! Has this photograph been imported before?
+//!
+//! Two tiers, because neither alone is enough and they cost very different
+//! amounts. The metadata tier — capture time, camera, size, the name the
+//! camera gave it — is answerable from the catalog before a byte leaves the
+//! card, which is what makes re-inserting an already-imported card cost a
+//! metadata read per file rather than a full transfer. The content tier
+//! catches what the first misses: the same frame arriving under a different
+//! name, from a second card, or after somebody renamed it.
+//!
+//! # Why the filename is compared here rather than in SQL
+//!
+//! `images.source_ref` holds the whole opaque key — a relative path on Linux,
+//! a document id on SAF — and the camera's filename is only its last
+//! component. Matching that in SQL means `LIKE '%/IMG_0001.CR3'`, which cannot
+//! use an index, scans the whole table, and is wrong on SAF where the
+//! separator is not `/`. So the query narrows on the indexed columns and the
+//! handful of rows that survive are compared in Rust, the same way the grid
+//! already derives a display name.
+//!
+//! # Filename alone is never sufficient
+//!
+//! Camera filenames wrap at `IMG_9999` and start again, so a library of any
+//! age holds several unrelated `IMG_0001.CR3`. That is why the cheap tier
+//! carries capture time and camera as well, and why the expensive tier exists
+//! at all.

+//! The catalog: a rebuildable index over the library.
+//!
+//! Not a source of truth. Sidecars next to the images hold the authoritative
+//! edit state (ARCH §6.12), and this file is deletable at any time — rebuilt
+//! by rescanning sources and reading sidecars. That inversion is deliberate:
+//! darktable maintains both a database and sidecars while achieving the
+//! reliability of neither.
+//!
+//! # What lives here
+//!
+//! - [`schema`] — tables and forward-only migrations
+//! - [`scan`] — incremental discovery that prunes unchanged directories
+//! - [`walk`] — those decisions driven against real storage, local or SAF
+//! - [`query`] — selectors compiled to indexed SQL, windowed for the grid
+//! - [`collections`] — the collection tree and membership the UI edits
+//! - [`keywords`] — the keyword vocabulary and what it is assigned to
+//! - [`jobs`] — the durable background work queue
+//! - [`trash`] — soft delete to a folder, then permanent delete
+//! - [`merge`] / [`sync`] — cross-device merging of collections and keywords
+//!
+//! # The one thing everything is designed around
+//!
+//! **Work is proportional to what changed, or to what the user is looking at —
+//! never to library size.** A 50k-image library that has not changed costs one
+//! metadata probe per folder to verify (§scan), no thumbnails to regenerate
+//! (§jobs coalescing), and no rule evaluation per grid cell (materialised
+//! `tier_desired`).

+//!
+//! The UI never assembles SQL — it hands over a [`Query`] and receives a
+//! window. Two properties matter:
+//!
+//! 1. **Nothing user-supplied is interpolated into SQL text.** Every value
+//!    binds as a parameter; `LIKE` patterns have their wildcards escaped.
+//! 2. **Predicates hit indices.** Filtering 50k images must stay interactive
+//!    (FR-CAT-6), which means no expression over a column that would defeat
+//!    its index.

+//! TRACES: FR-CAT-5 | FR-CAT-6 | FR-CULL-4
+//! Star ratings and pick/reject flags — the judgement a cull produces.
+//!
+//! # Why this hangs off `versions` rather than `images`
+//!
+//! The schema already carries `rating`, `label` and `flag` on `versions`, and
+//! [`crate::query`] already compiles [`dr_types::Selector::Rating`] and
+//! [`dr_types::Selector::Flag`] against the *default* version. What was
+//! missing is that nothing ever created a version row: a scan inserts into
+//! `images` and stops, so every image had no version, and therefore nowhere
+//! to record a rating. The whole library sat permanently unrated with no way
+//! out of that state.
+//!
+//! So this module's first job is [`ensure_default_versions`] — every image
+//! gets exactly one default version, created at scan time and backfilled by
+//! the v2 migration for libraries scanned before this existed.
+//!
+//! Keeping judgement on the version rather than the image is what makes
+//! FR-CAT-12's virtual copies coherent: two crops of one frame are two
+//! photographs to the photographer, and one may be a keeper while the other
+//! is a reject. Hoisting the rating onto the image would force them to agree.
+//!
+//! # Unrated is a real state, not a zero
+//!
+//! `rating = 0` means *not yet judged*, and that is precisely what "filter to
+//! unjudged" selects (FR-CULL-4). It is deliberately not conflated with "one
+//! star" or with "rejected" — those are three different answers, and a cull
+//! that cannot distinguish "I have not looked at this" from "I looked and it
+//! is poor" cannot be resumed.

+//! Incremental scan: the local analogue of ETag pruning.
+//!
+//! Nextcloud propagates ETags up the tree, so one request proves a whole
+//! library unchanged (ARCH §8.4). A filesystem offers no such guarantee — a
+//! directory's mtime moves when its *direct* entries change and not when a
+//! grandchild does, so there is no cheap "did anything below here change"
+//! probe.
+//!
+//! Local scan therefore prunes at each level rather than at the root: one
+//! metadata probe per directory when nothing changed, instead of one per file.
+//! A 50k-image library in ~2k folders costs 2k probes, which is the difference
+//! between meeting and missing NFR-P1 on SAF.
+//!
+//! This module holds the decision logic and the deletion-sweep rules; walking
+//! an actual directory belongs to the platform layer, which supplies
+//! [`DirState`] and [`DirEntry`]. [`crate::walk`] is what puts the two
+//! together.

+//! # The hazard this module exists to handle
+//!
+//! A WAL-mode SQLite database is not one file. Committed transactions can live
+//! in `catalog.sqlite-wal` with the main file lagging behind, so copying
+//! `catalog.sqlite` alone uploads a **torn snapshot**: internally consistent as
+//! of some older point, missing everything since. Worse, a naive copy taken
+//! while a writer is mid-transaction can be structurally corrupt.
+//!
+//! So an upload never copies the live file. It runs a TRUNCATE checkpoint to
+//! fold the WAL back into the main file, then uses SQLite's own backup API to
+//! take a consistent snapshot — which serialises correctly against concurrent
+//! writers rather than racing them.
+//!
+//! # What is actually synced
+//!
+//! Only the *user's judgements about their library* merge: collections, and the
+//! keyword vocabulary with its assignments (see [`crate::merge`]). The rest of
+//! the catalog is a *local index* of *local* storage — folder mtimes, cache
+//! paths, job rows — and copying another device's version of those in would be
+//! actively wrong. The remote file is read for those two and then discarded.
+//!
+//! This is why the catalog remains disposable in the ARCH §6.12 sense: nothing
+//! here makes the local database authoritative for anything a rebuild could

+//! Soft delete, restore, and the permanent delete that follows.
+//!
+//! # Why the trash is a folder and not a flag
+//!
+//! The catalog is a *rebuildable index* (ARCH §6.12): delete `catalog.sqlite`
+//! and it is reconstructed by rescanning sources. A trash implemented as a
+//! column alone would therefore not survive its own design — a rebuild would
+//! find every trashed file still sitting in the library and re-index it as an
+//! ordinary photograph, silently undoing every delete the user had made.
+//!
+//! So a soft delete **moves the file** into `.darkroom-trash/` under the library
+//! root, and the catalog merely records that this happened. The folder is the
+//! durable fact; the row is the convenience. Recovering by hand needs no
+//! DarkRoom at all, which is the property that matters when the thing being
+//! risked is a photograph.
+//!
+//! `dr_sync::scan::is_excluded` keeps the scanner out of that folder. Without
+//! it the next scan re-indexes the trash and the delete comes undone — the two
+//! halves are one mechanism and neither works alone.
+//!
+//! # The two steps
+//!
+//! **Soft** ([`trash`]) — `MOVE` to the trash folder, record `trashed_at` and
+//! the path it came from. Reversible by [`restore`], which is why the original
+//! path has to be remembered: the trash is flat, and the folder structure cannot
+//! be recovered from the trashed name.
+//!
+//! **Hard** ([`purge`]) — `DELETE` the file, then delete the row. Irreversible
+//! from DarkRoom's side, though the server's own trashbin may still hold it.
+//! Ordered file-first deliberately: see [`purge_order`].
+//!
+//! # What this module does not do
+//!
+//! It performs no I/O. Every function here records or reads catalog state, and
+//! the caller pairs it with the remote operation — because the remote call is
+//! async and the catalog is not, and because the *order* of the two is a
+//! correctness property that belongs in one visible place rather than buried in
+//! a transaction.

+# DarkRoom camera base curves (FR-DEV-3e).
+#
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Adding a body is editing this file. It is not a code change.
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#
+# The copy you are reading is compiled into the binary as a floor. At startup
+# `dr_decode::base_curve::load` also looks for `base_curves.yaml` in:
+#
+#   1. $DARKROOM_PROFILES/                       (set it while you are tuning)
+#   2. $XDG_DATA_HOME/darkroom/profiles/
+#      or $HOME/.local/share/darkroom/profiles/
+#
+# and uses the first one it finds *whose `version:` is higher than this one's*.
+# So: bump `version`, drop the file in that directory, restart. A body added
+# this afternoon renders correctly this afternoon, with no release and no
+# rebuild — which is what the requirement asks for, and what makes these
+# contributable under the GPL.
+#
+# The version check runs both ways on purpose. A file older than the built-in
+# copy is ignored with a log line, so upgrading DarkRoom cannot silently lose
+# curves to a pack somebody downloaded a year ago.
+#
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# What the numbers mean
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#
+# Five `[x, y]` control points on a monotone spline (Fritsch-Carlson, the same
+# one the tone curve widget draws). Both axes are **linear**:
+#
+#   x  scene-referred camera RGB after white balance, 1.0 = sensor saturation
+#   y  display-referred linear; the sRGB transfer function is applied later,
+#      at the end of the shader, so do not pre-apply a gamma here
+#
+# The identity is y = x, and it is what an unrecognised body gets if `default:`
+# is removed. It is also the wrong answer for almost every photograph: linear
+# scene data has middle grey at about 13% and a camera JPEG puts it near 18%,
+# so an uncurved render is roughly half a stop dark through the midtones and
+# has no highlight rolloff at all.
+#
+# A curve that works has three parts, and it is worth naming them because they
+# are what you are actually tuning:
+#
+#   the toe       the first span, slope near or below 1. Deep shadows stay
+#                 deep. Lift it and blacks go milky; crush it and shadow
+#                 detail the sensor recorded disappears.
+#   the midtones  the middle spans, slope well above 1. This is the contrast
+#                 and the brightness people read as "the camera's look".
+#   the shoulder  the last span, slope well below 1. Highlights compress
+#                 toward white instead of arriving there and clipping. It is
+#                 the difference between a rolled-off sky and a white hole.
+#
+# Two invariants are enforced in code and tested, so a mistake here fails the
+# build rather than the photograph: x must strictly increase, y must not
+# decrease, and everything must lie inside the unit square.
+#
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Honesty about these values
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#
+# These are hand-tuned shapes, not measurements. They encode what every camera
+# JPEG rendering has in common — the toe/midtone/shoulder structure above —
+# plus each maker's well-known house differences: Canon's gentler shoulder and
+# warmer-reading midtones, Nikon's slightly higher midtone contrast, Sony's
+# flatter and more conservative default, Fujifilm's markedly contrastier
+# Provia-derived rendering.
+#
+# FR-DEV-3e's acceptance criterion is subjective comparison against each body's
+# own JPEG, and meeting it properly needs a frame from that body in front of
+# you. Where that has not been done, the entry is still much closer to right
+# than the identity — which is the bar these have to clear, and do.

+# is the flat render, and a conservative curve is far closer to right for every
+# body than no curve is for any of them. It is gentler than the per-body
+# entries below — a shallower midtone and an earlier, softer shoulder — because
+# it has to be safe on a sensor nobody has looked at, and the cost of being too

+//!
+//! # What this is for
+//!
+//! A camera matrix gets the *colours* right and leaves the picture flat. Sensor
+//! data is scene-referred and very nearly linear; a print, a screen and a
+//! camera's own JPEG are none of those things. Rendering linear data straight
+//! out is the dcraw default, and FR-DEV-3e names it precisely: "the flat,
+//! poor-skin-tone rendering characteristic of dcraw defaults, which is the
+//! documented reason people abandon darktable in the first hour."
+//!
+//! The fix is a tone curve applied as part of *reading* the file rather than as
+//! an edit — a toe, a steep midtone, and a shoulder that rolls highlights off
+//! instead of clipping them. Every raw converter has one. Adobe calls it the
+//! camera profile's tone curve, darktable calls it the base curve, and the name
+//! here follows darktable's because the placement does too: it runs in camera
+//! RGB, after white balance and the user's adjustments, immediately before the
+//! conversion out to a working space.
+//!
+//! # Why it is not an edit
+//!
+//! It never reaches the sidecar and there is no slider for it, for the same
+//! reason the EXIF orientation is not an edit (FR-DEV-3h): it is a property of
+//! the body that took the frame, not of what anyone decided about the frame.
+//! Sidecars are shared between devices and bodies (FR-NC-9), and one camera's
+//! rendering must not follow an edit onto another camera's file.
+//!
+//! # Why it is data
+//!
+//! FR-DEV-3e requires the profile database to be "versioned independently of
+//! the app binary so bodies and curves can be added without a release — and,
+//! under D8's GPLv3, contributed by users". So the curves live in
+//! `profiles/base_curves.yaml`, a file that is compiled in as a floor and
+//! *overridden* by a copy on disk carrying a higher `version:`. Adding a body
+//! is adding ten numbers to a YAML file; shipping that body to users is
+//! publishing the file. Neither is a code change and neither needs a release.
+//!
+//! See [`load`] for the search path and [`Curves::body`] for the matching.

+//! TRACES: FR-EXP-8
+//! Building an EXIF block, rather than copying one.
+//!
+//! # Why this is written by hand and not with a crate
+//!
+//! Two reasons, in order of importance.
+//!
+//! The first is the privacy behaviour. Every EXIF library worth using offers a
+//! "load the source block, delete these tags, write it back" shape, and that
+//! shape is the wrong one here: it makes the file that leaves the machine a
+//! copy of the source's metadata *minus what we thought to remove*, so every
+//! tag nobody has thought about — a vendor's proprietary sub-directory, a
+//! serial number under a tag id this build has never seen — travels by
+//! default. Constructing the block from a fixed list of parsed values inverts
+//! that. What is written is exactly what appears in [`crate::SourceMetadata`],
+//! and a tag that is not in this file cannot end up in the output no matter
+//! what the source contained. The allowlist *is* the implementation.
+//!
+//! The second is the dependency policy. The root `Cargo.toml` explains why
+//! nothing here may link C — this tree has to build under the Android NDK —
+//! and the mature EXIF writers are bindings. This is a couple of hundred
+//! lines of offset arithmetic against a specification that has not changed
+//! since 2010, and it is the same TIFF structure `dr-decode` already reads.
+//!
+//! # What the block is
+//!
+//! A complete little-endian TIFF: an 8-byte header, IFD0 with the identity
+//! and rights tags, an Exif sub-IFD with the capture tags, optionally a GPS
+//! sub-IFD, and a heap of values too long to sit inside an entry. JPEG carries
+//! it in an APP1 segment behind the marker `Exif\0\0`; PNG carries the same
+//! bytes in an `eXIf` chunk with no marker. TIFF does not use this at all —
+//! its own directory *is* the EXIF, so `encode.rs` writes the tags there
+//! directly.

+//! TRACES: FR-EXP-2
+//! Minimal ICC v2 matrix/TRC profiles, generated.
+//!
+//! # Why generated rather than shipped
+//!
+//! A profile is a description of what the pixels in a file mean, and the
+//! pixels here were produced by [`dr_types::colour`]'s matrices. Embedding a
+//! profile downloaded from elsewhere would mean two independent statements
+//! about the same space, agreeing until one of them was revised. Deriving both
+//! from the same primaries makes agreement structural.
+//!
+//! It is also the only pure-Rust route. Little-CMS is the obvious library and
+//! it is C, which the whole workspace avoids so it cross-compiles under the
+//! Android NDK — the same reasoning behind rustls, bundled SQLite and the
+//! Lensfun port.
+//!
+//! # What "minimal" leaves out
+//!
+//! A matrix/TRC display profile and nothing else: three colorants, three tone
+//! curves, a white point and the chromatic adaptation that got it there. No
+//! A2B/B2A lookup tables, no gamut tag, no named colours. That is the whole of
+//! what an RGB working space *is*, and it is what every reader — a browser, an
+//! operating system compositor, Photoshop — takes from a profile like this
+//! one. The tags omitted describe device behaviour these spaces do not have.
+//!
+//! Profiles come out around 2 KB, which matters more than it sounds: a JPEG
+//! carries the profile in APP2 segments capped at 64 KB each, and one that fits
+//! in a single segment avoids the chunked form that some older readers
+//! mishandle.

+//! # What this crate is, and is not
+//!
+//! It is: resize, output sharpening, encode, and the name the result should
+//! be given. It is not: a filesystem, a network client, or a job queue.
+//! [`export`] returns [`Encoded`] — bytes and a filename — and the caller
+//! decides where that lands.
+//!
+//! That boundary is not fastidiousness. An export has three possible
+//! destinations and they have nothing in common: a path on Linux, a Storage
+//! Access Framework document on Android where there *is* no path
+//! (ARCH §6.9), and a `PUT` to a Nextcloud folder. A crate that wrote the
+//! file itself would serve one of them and be rewritten for the other two.
+//!
+//! # Order of operations
+//!
+//! Resize, then sharpen, then encode. Sharpening after the resize is the
+//! whole point of output sharpening (FR-EXP-4): it compensates for the
+//! softening the resample introduced, so its strength has to scale with how
+//! much scaling actually happened. Sharpening first and then shrinking would
+//! throw the sharpened detail away.

+//! [`SourceMetadata`] is the whole of what can reach a file this crate writes.
+//! It is populated field by field from whatever the caller decoded, and
+//! nothing else travels — not because each unwanted tag is removed, but
+//! because there is nowhere in this type for one to sit. That is the
+//! difference between "we strip GPS" and "GPS cannot be written unless
+//! [`SourceMetadata::location`] is `Some`", and only the second survives
+//! somebody adding a field to the decoder next year.
+//!
+//! # What is deliberately not here
+//!
+//! **The maker note** (EXIF `0x927C`). It is an opaque vendor blob with no
+//! public format, and its contents differ by body and firmware. Canon's
+//! carries the body serial number and the shutter count; several bodies put a
+//! *duplicate copy of the GPS fix* inside it, which is the specific reason it
+//! cannot be passed through as an unexamined byte range: an export that
+//! stripped the GPS directory and copied the maker note would have published
+//! the coordinates anyway, while reporting itself as private. Parsing it per
+//! vendor to decide what is safe is a research project with a permanent
+//! maintenance cost, and the value on the other side is a few tags a
+//! photographer rarely misses. So it is dropped, in both directions, whatever
+//! the settings say.
+//!
+//! **Serial numbers and owner name** (`BodySerialNumber` 0xA431,
+//! `LensSerialNumber` 0xA435, `CameraOwnerName` 0xA430). These identify a
+//! person and a specific piece of equipment, and a serial number in a
+//! published file links every photograph that person has ever posted. They
+//! have no field here, so no export writes them.
+//!
+//! **IPTC and XMP.** FR-EXP-8 names both. Neither is read by `dr-decode`
+//! today, so there is nothing to carry through; when there is, it arrives as
+//! fields on this type and is written from them, and the same allowlist

+//! Local adjustments end to end, on a real photograph.
+//!
+//! Two edits a photographer actually makes, both driven by the model finding
+//! the subject rather than by anyone drawing a shape:
+//!
+//! - **The subject in colour, everything else monochrome.** One layer, the
+//!   subject's mask inverted, saturation at −100.
+//! - **The subject lifted out of its background.** Two layers over the same
+//!   mask: the subject brightened, the background pulled down.
+//!
+//! ```sh
+//! cargo run -p dr-gpu --example local --release \
+//!   --features segment-readback -- photo.CR2 out
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Writes `<prefix>-original.ppm`, `<prefix>-colour-pop.ppm`,
+//! `<prefix>-subject-lift.ppm` and `<prefix>-mask.ppm`. PPM for the reason
+//! every other example here uses it: no encoder dependency, and every viewer
+//! reads it.
+//!
+//! # What this is really testing
+//!
+//! That the whole chain agrees with itself. The mask is rasterised in *source*
+//! space at proxy resolution and sampled by the composed shader after the
+//! framing map, so a fault anywhere in that handoff — a transposed axis, a
+//! mask pinned to the viewport, a slice read from the wrong layer — shows up
+//! here as an adjustment in the wrong place, and nowhere else.

+//! The detail stage — running `dr-pipeline`'s neighbourhood passes.
+//!
+//! Where [`crate::AdjustPass`] fuses every point operation into one dispatch,
+//! this runs the operations that cannot be fused because they read pixels they
+//! are not writing: sharpening, noise reduction, clarity, texture, dehaze,
+//! spot removal (FR-DEV-3, FR-DEV-8). `dr_pipeline::detail` decides *what* they
+//! are and generates their WGSL; this compiles it, finds it somewhere to
+//! write, and dispatches it.
+//!
+//! # Nothing round-trips
+//!
+//! Every intermediate here is a `wgpu::Texture` and none of them is ever
+//! mapped. The chain is `demosaiced -> fused -> f16 -> f16 -> ... -> rgba8`,
+//! all of it on the device, and the last write lands in the same texture the
+//! compositor was already being handed. ARCH §6.1 and FR-DEV-4 are satisfied
+//! by there being no code here that could violate them, which is the only
+//! guarantee worth having.
+//!
+//! # Following the mask pass rather than inventing a second pattern
+//!
+//! `mask.rs` established how multi-target work is done in this crate, and this
+//! copies it deliberately:
+//!
+//! - **One encoder for the whole chain.** The mask pass rasterises every layer
+//!   into one command buffer and submits once; this does the same for every
+//!   pass. Submission order is the only synchronisation either needs, because
+//!   both write and then read through the same queue.
+//! - **Textures reallocated on size change, never per frame.** `ensure_array`
+//!   there, [`Intermediates::ensure`] here. Steady-state rendering at one
+//!   viewport size allocates nothing.
+//! - **An allocation counter that exists to be asserted on.** Reallocating per
+//!   frame instead of per resize costs a great deal of bandwidth and shows up
+//!   nowhere in the output, which is exactly the kind of regression that needs
+//!   a test that can see it.
+//! - **Pipelines cached by structure hash**, as `AdjustPass` caches its own.
+//!   Moving a slider re-uploads a uniform buffer; it does not recompile.
+//!
+//! # The ping-pong, and why there are at most three textures
+//!
+//! Slot 0 holds what the fused colour pass wrote. It is kept **across frames**,
+//! which is what makes [`dr_pipeline::Affects::Detail`] mean something: when
+//! only a detail parameter has moved, the colour key is unchanged, the fused
+//! dispatch is skipped, and dragging a sharpening slider costs the detail
+//! passes alone (FR-DEV-3d).
+//!
+//! The remaining passes alternate between slots 1 and 2, and the last one
+//! writes the display texture directly rather than an intermediate — so a
+//! chain of *N* passes costs *N* dispatches and not *N* + 1, and there is no
+//! resolve pass to pay for. That leaves the allocation at `1 + min(N-1, 2)`
+//! textures: one for a single-pass operation, two for a separable blur, three
+//! however long the chain gets after that.

+//! TRACES: FR-DSP-7
+//! Counting the display frame, on the device that drew it.
+//!
+//! # Why a compute reduction and not a CPU pass over the readback
+//!
+//! There is, today, a whole frame already sitting in CPU memory every time the
+//! canvas updates — `AdjustPass::read_output`, the temporary bridge that spike
+//! S1 removes. Walking it to build a histogram would have been perhaps thirty
+//! lines and no shader at all, and it was the obvious thing to reach for.
+//!
+//! It was rejected for two reasons, in this order.
+//!
+//! FR-DSP-7 states the mechanism, 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 built on the bridge would be correct today and
+//! *deleted* by S1 — it would be new code whose only foundation is the one
+//! thing the architecture is committed to removing, and the histogram would
+//! then be the reason the bridge could not go.
+//!
+//! And the cost does not scale the way the shortcut implies. Counting 2 MP on
+//! one CPU thread is several milliseconds of the settle frame; the reduction
+//! below is a fraction of one, and what crosses the bus is 4104 bytes
+//! regardless of the image. The simpler-looking option is simpler only while
+//! the frame happens to be lying there.
+//!
+//! # What it costs and when it runs
+//!
+//! One dispatch plus a 4 KB buffer copy and a mapping — a device sync point.
+//! FR-DSP-7 requires that this not extend the FR-DSP-3 frame budget, so the
+//! interface runs it on the *settled* frame only, never on the draft frames a
+//! drag produces. The histogram of an image being dragged past is not read
+//! anyway; the one that arrives when the slider stops is.

+//! Runs the five passes in `shaders/watershed.wgsl` over a demosaiced image
+//! and leaves a basin label per pixel on the GPU. The hierarchy built from
+//! those labels lives in [`dr_segment`], which needs no device.
+//!
+//! # Cost
+//!
+//! Every pass is a trivial kernel and the whole chain is a handful of
+//! milliseconds at proxy resolution. It runs **once per image**, off the
+//! interactive path — the point of precomputing a region map is that
+//! selection afterwards is a label comparison rather than a flood fill.

+//! feature. That is deliberately **not** the `readback` switch guarding the
+//! display round-trip: this transfer is once per image on a worker, where the
+//! one AC-8 forbids is per frame in the render loop, and sharing a switch
+//! would force a build wanting local masking to unlock the other.

+//! It is still a real cost and still unfinished. F3 in docs/segmentation.md

+// Black/white normalisation and X-Trans demosaic, in one pass.
+//
+// The Fujifilm counterpart to demosaic.wgsl (FR-RAW-5). The input and the
+// output are the same — packed u16 photosites in, linear camera-space
+// RGBA16Float out — but the colour filter array is a 6x6 tile rather than a
+// 2x2 one, and none of the Bayer kernels survive that. In a Bayer cell every
+// pixel has the missing channels at a fixed offset; in X-Trans the offsets
+// differ at all 36 positions, so a fixed kernel per site would need 36 of
+// them and would still say nothing about which neighbours to trust.
+//
+// The method here is *local plane fitting on the colour difference*:
+//
+//  1. Take a 5x5 window and sort its photosites by the channel each one
+//     measures. Every window holds at least four red, four blue and thirteen
+//     green samples, whatever the phase — checked exhaustively, not assumed.
+//  2. Fit a weighted least-squares plane through each channel's samples and
+//     evaluate all three planes at the pixel. A plane rather than a mean
+//     because the three channels are sampled at *different* places: a mean
+//     would compare a red average taken slightly left of the pixel with a
+//     green average taken slightly right of it, and the difference of those
+//     two offsets is a colour cast that follows every gradient in the frame.
+//     A plane has no such bias — it reconstructs any linear gradient exactly.
+//  3. Keep the pixel's own measured value, and carry the other two channels
+//     across as the *difference* between the fitted planes.
+//
+// Step 3 is the standard constant-colour-difference model, and the reason it
+// is applied in white-balanced space is that the model is exact only where
+// the channel difference is locally constant. On a neutral subject that is
+// true after white balance and false before it, so the gains go on before the
+// fit and come off after — which costs one multiply and halves the error at a
+// luminance edge (measured on a synthetic step: 0.34 -> 0.20 max error).
+// The pixels written out are still as-shot, unbalanced camera space; nothing
+// downstream sees the difference.
+//
+// **What this is not.** It is not Markesteijn. It has no directional
+// hypotheses and no homogeneity map, so it does not resolve detail finer than
+// the CFA period, and a hard edge arrives about two pixels wide. It does not
+// produce the "worms" that FR-RAW-5 exists to avoid — the output is bounded
+// by the local sample range, so it cannot ring — but the Markesteijn-class

+//! `srgb_encode(whatever the kernel produced in linear light)`, and an
+//! overshoot — the bright fringe an unsharp mask puts on the light side of an
+//! edge — cannot show above 255 on the white side of a full-scale step, and the
+//! undershoot on the dark side of one clips to black long before the halo has
+//! been drawn. The tests therefore use a **grey** step, from byte 90 to byte
+//! 150, which at 100% amount leaves the whole halo inside the representable

+//! The neighbourhood stage, end to end on a real device.
+//!
+//! `dr-pipeline`'s own tests assert what the composer *generates*; nothing
+//! there can tell whether the WGSL compiles, whether pass two is handed what
+//! pass one wrote, or whether the output transform happens exactly once. Those
+//! are questions only a GPU answers, and they are the ones that decide whether
+//! a future sharpening operation works or draws nonsense.
+//!
+//! The consumer is `detail_probe`, a separable box blur that is not a develop
+//! operation (see `dr_pipeline::detail::probe`). A box blur is used because its
+//! answer is known in closed form: over a step edge it produces a ramp exactly
+//! `2r + 1` pixels wide with a computable value at every step, so these tests
+//! assert **pixels** rather than "something changed".
+//!
+//! # Reading the expected values
+//!
+//! The source is uploaded through `DemosaicedImage::from_rgba8`, which flags it
+//! non-linear, so the generated shader decodes sRGB before any operation runs.
+//! A black/white step therefore reaches the detail stage as linear 0.0 and 1.0
+//! exactly. The blur averages those, and the last detail pass re-encodes. So
+//! the expected byte at a column is `srgb_encode(white_taps / (2r + 1))`, with
+//! taps clamped at the border — which is exactly what `expected_profile`
+//! computes.

+//! Clarity and texture, end to end on a real device.
+//!
+//! `dr-pipeline`'s tests assert what the composer *generates* — the kernel
+//! width, the uniforms, which lines of WGSL each node emits. None of that can
+//! tell whether the two passes compose into an unsharp mask, whether the
+//! original colour really survives the hand-off from the blur pass to the
+//! combining one, or whether the halo the soft limit is supposed to bound is
+//! actually bounded in pixels. Those are questions only a GPU answers.
+//!
+//! # Why every measurement is in stops
+//!
+//! The controls work on log luminance, and their guarantees are stated in
+//! stops: an overshoot of at most `gain * threshold`, an effect that is
+//! symmetric about neutral, a strength that does not depend on how bright the
+//! subject is. Asserting on 8-bit code values would restate all of that in a
+//! unit where none of it is true, and would need a fresh magic number for
+//! every brightness tested. So the pixels are decoded back to linear and
+//! compared as ratios.
+//!
+//! # The test image
+//!
+//! A vertical step between two **midtones** rather than between black and
+//! white. Clarity is tapered to nothing at both ends of the range on purpose
+//! (see `midtone_weight`), so a 0–255 step is the one edge in the world it is
+//! designed to leave alone, and a test built on it would measure the taper
+//! working and call it the feature not working.
