Step to a library photograph without flashing frames in between

A step along the roll showed up to four pictures: the grid thumbnail,
the previous photograph again (the thumbnail was dropped when the bytes
landed, while the canvas still held the last texture through the decode
and first render), the new one at its defaults when a cached original
beat the sidecar, and then its edit.

The thumbnail now stays up until render_now draws the new photograph's
first frame, and that first frame waits up to 400 ms for the stored edit
before drawing at the defaults. A later arrival still redraws.

+## Providers: read the runtime's source for the version on disk, not the binding

+Two things the MIGraphX rung (2026-09-20) got wrong before it was measured
+right, both because `ort`'s builder was trusted to mean what its method
+names say.
+
+**A binding's option builder may fill a struct the runtime no longer
+reads.** `ep::MIGraphX::with_save_model` sets fields of the legacy
+`OrtMIGraphXProviderOptions`; ONNX Runtime 1.29 reads that struct for the
+precision flags and ignores the rest, so every session compiled for 40 s
+and the cache directory went nowhere. The option that works
+(`migraphx_model_cache_dir`) exists only in the generic key/value
+registration, which `session::migraphx` calls on the API table directly.
+Before wiring a provider option, fetch the provider's source at the

+keys a compiled program on graph, GPU and its own version — not precision.

 strength of plumbing a future feature would use. So: **close a requirement
 with a test that would fail if the behaviour were removed.** Coverage that
 moves slowly and means something beats coverage that moves quickly.

+**Keys and gestures are held the same way.** A key handler in Slint compares
+one canonical chord, `Keys.chord(event) == "Ctrl+Z"`, under a `// KEYMAP:`
+comment naming its section of the gesture book, and every key it binds must be
+named by a `GESTURE:` block beside it. `cargo run -p traceability -- gestures`
+regenerates [`docs/gestures.md`](docs/gestures.md) and the in-app help sheet
+from those blocks; `-- gestures-check` fails when a handler binds a key no tag
+names, or a tag names a key no handler binds. A `manual:` field in a block
+links the gesture to a section of the manual, and a heading that is not there
+fails the scan.

+## Building from source
+
+**Before anything.** Git LFS holds the model weights and the manual's
+pictures; a clone without it has ~130-byte pointers in their place, and every
+packager below refuses to ship one. The Rust toolchain pins itself to 1.92.0
+through `rust-toolchain.toml`, so rustup is all you install. Slint needs a few
+system headers, and the app needs a Vulkan driver at runtime:
 
 ```bash
+git clone https://gitea.tourolle.paris/dtourolle/DarkRoom.git && cd DarkRoom
 git lfs install && git lfs pull
+
+# Debian / Ubuntu
+sudo apt-get install pkg-config libfontconfig1-dev libxkbcommon-dev libvulkan1
+# Arch
+sudo pacman -S --needed pkgconf fontconfig libxkbcommon vulkan-icd-loader
+```
+
+**To try it** from the checkout, without installing anything:
+
+```bash
 cargo run --release -p darkroom-desktop
 ```
 
-Android, through the containerised toolchain ([docker/android](docker/android/README.md)):
+This is for development. The binary under `target/` finds no face, scene or
+panorama-fill models, and a release build does not find the manual either:
+it looks for all of them in the system data directories an install creates
+(`$XDG_DATA_DIRS/darkroom`, by default `/usr/local/share/darkroom` and
+`/usr/share/darkroom`), never in the checkout. Those features show as
+unavailable until it is installed.
+
+### Linux: build and install
+
+**On Arch**, build a package from the checkout and install it with pacman,
+so it can be upgraded and removed like any other:
 
 ```bash
-./docker/android/build.sh cargo ndk -t arm64-v8a build --release
+cd packaging && makepkg -si
 ```
 
-[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) has the system packages, the four
+**Elsewhere**, build the release binary and install it under `/usr/local`
+by hand. These are the same files, in the same places, as the Arch package
+([`packaging/PKGBUILD`](packaging/PKGBUILD)'s `package()` is the reference):
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release --locked -p darkroom-desktop
+# -> target/release/darkroom-desktop
+
+P=/usr/local
+sudo install -Dm755 target/release/darkroom-desktop $P/bin/darkroom-desktop
+
+# The models: faces and eye state, scene categories, panorama border fill
+sudo install -d $P/share/darkroom/models
+sudo install -m644 models/face/*.onnx models/scene/* models/inpaint/*.onnx \
+    $P/share/darkroom/models/
+
+# The offline manual the Help menu opens
+sudo install -Dm644 docs/manual/index.html $P/share/darkroom/manual/index.html
+sudo install -Dm644 -t $P/share/darkroom/manual/media docs/manual/media/*
+
+# Launcher entry, icon and software-centre description
+sudo install -Dm644 packaging/paris.tourolle.darkroom.desktop \

+sudo install -Dm644 packaging/paris.tourolle.darkroom.metainfo.xml \
+    $P/share/metainfo/paris.tourolle.darkroom.metainfo.xml
+```
+
+Then run `darkroom-desktop`, or open it from the application menu. To
+uninstall, remove those files and `/usr/local/share/darkroom`. Your catalog,
+settings and thumbnails live in `darkroom/` under your own XDG data, config
+and cache directories (`~/.local/share`, `~/.config`, `~/.cache`) and are
+not touched by either.
+
+Optional at runtime: `gnome-keyring` or `kwallet` to remember Nextcloud
+credentials, and an ONNX Runtime in `/usr/lib` (CPU, or ROCm on an AMD GPU) to
+run the models on every core rather than on the built-in engine.
+
+### Windows: build the installer
+
+The `.exe` is cross-built from Linux in a container (podman or docker), with
+no Windows machine involved. Two steps — the executable, then the NSIS
+installer that carries it with its models and manual:
+
+```bash
+./docker/windows/build.sh cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu -p darkroom-desktop
+./docker/windows/build.sh docker/windows/package.sh
+```
+
+Both land in the container's cache on the host, `~/.cache/darkroom-windows/target/`:
+the bare executable under `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/darkroom-desktop.exe`,
+the installer under `installer/DarkRoom-<version>-x86_64-setup.exe`.
+Copy that to the Windows machine and run it — it installs per user, needs no
+administrator rights, and adds an uninstaller. Run on its own, the bare
+`.exe` looks for `models\` and `manual\` beside itself, so use the installer.
+[docker/windows](docker/windows/README.md) has the details.
+
+### Android: build the APK
+
+Also containerised ([docker/android](docker/android/README.md)). This
+builds, packages and debug-signs the APK, and with `--install` puts it on a
+device connected over adb:
+
+```bash
+./docker/android/package.sh --install
+```
+
+A debug-signed APK cannot replace one installed from a release; uninstall
+that first.

+//! Albums: named export folders, and which photographs went into each.
+//!
+//! An album is where finished pictures go — a folder of JPEGs somebody else
+//! looks at — as opposed to a collection, which is a set of originals the
+//! photographer works on. The folder holds only the exported files. What the
+//! catalog adds is the link back: each export is recorded against the image
+//! it was rendered from, so opening an album in the library shows the RAWs
+//! behind its JPEGs, and re-exporting after an edit is one selection away.
+//!
+//! # Where the folder is, and why that is two tables
+//!
+//! An album's folder is either on the library's server or on this device.
+//!
+//! A **server folder** is one path on the account, the same from every device
+//! signed in to it, so it lives on the album row and syncs with it.
+//!
+//! A **local folder** — a filesystem path on a desktop, a Storage Access
+//! Framework tree on Android — means nothing on any other device. It lives in
+//! `album_folders`, which the merge never reads and the upload snapshot drops
+//! ([`crate::sync::snapshot_for_upload`]). An album made on the desktop with a
+//! local folder therefore reaches the tablet as an album with no folder there
+//! yet, which is true, and which the tablet can fix by choosing one.
+//!
+//! # Created on first use, not by a migration
+//!
+//! A new schema version makes every older build refuse this catalog's
+//! snapshot at sync (`crate::sync::remote_is_mergeable`), so the tablet would
+//! stop merging collections, keywords and people until it was updated — for
+//! a feature it does not have. The tables are created by [`ensure_tables`]
+//! instead, the way `dedup_probes` is; an older build that meets them ignores
+//! them, and its merge keeps working.
+//!
+//! # Sync
+//!
+//! Albums merge by uuid and revision with tombstones, and their exports as a
+//! set union keyed on the image's server file id — the rules
+//! [`crate::merge`] applies to collections, for the same reasons.

+//! TRACES: NFR-P9
+//! Which catalog files this process has already backfilled, and as of what.
+//!
+//! # Why this exists
+//!
+//! [`crate::schema::backfill`] used to run inside every [`crate::Catalog::open`],
+//! and every worker thread opens its own connection. Landing on a photograph
+//! in develop opened the catalog five times — the fetch of the original and a
+//! cache check per prefetched neighbour — and each open paid the whole
+//! backfill: an anti-join of every image against its versions, a pass over
+//! every default version's uuid, the unpaired JPEGs and the keyword
+//! vocabulary. On the reference library that was ~12 ms an open and ~60 ms of
+//! CPU a landing, spent confirming that nothing had changed since the open
+//! before.
+//!
+//! # What makes skipping it safe
+//!
+//! Everything the backfill repairs is a row some write *added*: an image
+//! inserted by a scan or an import has no default version and may be the RAW
+//! beside an unpaired JPEG; a version merged or restored from an older build
+//! may carry a minted uuid; a keyword assignment merged from a remote may name
+//! a word with no term. So the question "is any work owed?" is answered by
+//! whether those tables have gained rows since the last backfill, and that is
+//! a read of each table's last row — the last page of its b-tree — rather than
+//! a scan.
+//!
+//! # Why the last row, and not only its id
+//!
+//! None of these tables is `AUTOINCREMENT`, so SQLite hands out the largest
+//! rowid plus one, and an id freed by deleting the newest row is handed out
+//! again. That is an ordinary sequence, not a contrived one: emptying the
+//! trash of the newest photograph and then scanning a new one, or a local
+//! folder's walk removing a renamed file's row and inserting the new name in
+//! the same pass. `max(id)` does not move, and neither does `count(*)`. And
+//! the row that took the id is exactly one that needs the backfill, because
+//! neither scan creates default versions — `persist` and the walk insert the
+//! image and leave the version, the pairing and the keyword terms to the next
+//! open. Skipped, it would go without them until the app restarted: a rating
+//! or a keyword with nowhere to land, a JPEG beside its RAW shown twice.
+//!
+//! So the stamp carries the last row's content as well as its id: the newest
+//! image's path, when it was added, and **whether it has a version**; the
+//! newest version's image; the newest assignment's word and version. Whether
+//! the newest image has a version is the part that cannot be fooled: once the
+//! backfill has run, every image has one, and a row that has just taken a
+//! freed id has none, so the two stamps differ whatever the path and the time
+//! say. The others make the newest version or assignment a different row
+//! whenever a different one took its id; one that is the same content at the
+//! same id is the same row as far as the backfill is concerned.
+//!
+//! The [`Stamp`] is those, the schema version, and the file's identity.
+//! An open whose stamp matches the one recorded at the last backfill of the
+//! same path skips it; anything else runs it. That covers the cases that must
+//! run it:
+//!
+//! - **The first open in a process.** Nothing is recorded yet.
+//! - **A migration.** `user_version` is in the stamp, and [`crate::Catalog::open`]
+//!   also runs the backfill unconditionally whenever `migrate` moved the
+//!   schema, because that is what the backfill was written for.
+//! - **A pulled catalog.** The merge inserts assignments, which moves the
+//!   stamp; and [`crate::sync::merge_remote`] [`forget`]s the path as well, so
+//!   the next open backfills even when every incoming row collided.
+//! - **A file replaced underneath the path** — a restore from backup, a
+//!   rebuild, a catalog copied in. On unix the device and inode are in the
+//!   stamp, and a replacement is a new inode; [`crate::recovery::set_aside`],
+//!   the first step of both a restore and a rebuild, forgets the path too.
+//! - **Another process writing.** The stamp is read from the file, not from
+//!   anything this process did, so a scan in a second instance moves it just
+//!   the same.
+//!
+//! # Why the stamp is taken before the backfill
+//!
+//! The backfill adds versions and terms itself, so a stamp read afterwards
+//! would describe its own writes. Read afterwards it could also describe an
+//! image another connection inserted between the backfill's read and the
+//! stamp's — and record that image as covered when it was not. Read before,
+//! the worst case is the reverse: the backfill's own inserts move the stamp,
+//! and the next open runs one more backfill that finds nothing. That costs one
+//! redundant pass after a backfill that did real work, and never misses a row.
+//!
+//! # What it does not see
+//!
+//! An `UPDATE` that creates work without adding a row. None of this build's
+//! writers does: a scan's move of a file is a new `source_ref` and so a new
+//! image, and uuids are only rewritten by the backfill itself. Should one
+//! appear, the cost is that its repair waits for the next insert or the next
+//! start of the app — which is exactly where the backfill ran before it ran on
+//! every open.
+//!
+//! Kept in memory rather than in the catalog on purpose: a row in the file
+//! would travel in the sync snapshot and would need a table an older build
+//! does not have, and a flag that another device's catalog carried in would
+//! say nothing about this one.

+//! A capture time read from the file's name, for an image whose header has
+//! none.
+//!
+//! # Why
+//!
+//! A photograph with no EXIF date sorts after everything else, so it is lost
+//! at the end of the grid and absent from the timeline. The files that end up
+//! there are rarely without a date — they are without *EXIF*: WhatsApp strips
+//! every tag and names the file `WhatsApp Image 2023-06-15 at 07.00.42.jpeg`,
+//! a Windows Phone wrote `WP_20140922_14_16_27_Pro.jpg`, a phone camera
+//! `IMG_20190812_153012.jpg`, and darktable's import renames to
+//! `20230629_0001.jpeg`. On the reference library 250 of 274 undated images
+//! carried their date in the name or in the folder above it.
+//!
+//! # What is accepted
+//!
+//! A date is `YYYYMMDD` as a whole run of digits, or `YYYY`, `MM` and `DD`
+//! joined by `-`, `_` or `.`. A time may follow it — `HHMMSS` as one run (or
+//! nine digits, milliseconds appended), or three two-digit runs joined by
+//! `-`, `_`, `.` or `:` — after `_`, `-`, `.`, `T`, a space or ` at `.
+//! Anything else after the date leaves it at midnight: `_0059` in
+//! `20230628_0059` is a sequence number, not 00:59, and reading it as a time
+//! would invent one.
+//!
+//! The name is tried first and then each folder above it, innermost first —
+//! `2016/2016-11-11/IMG_7910.jpg` is dated by its folder. A bare year folder
+//! is not a date: putting a photograph at 1 January is a wrong answer, and an
+//! undated one at least says it does not know.
+//!
+//! The reading is wall-clock time with no zone, stored as EXIF's is
+//! (`dr_decode::parse_exif_datetime`), and EXIF always wins: this only fills
+//! rows whose `captured_at` is still empty.

+/// most of the file (96 MB of a 158 MB reference catalog), and copying them in
+/// only to delete them was most of the cost. A backup-API copy followed by
+/// `UPDATE faces SET crop = NULL` and `VACUUM` wrote the file roughly three
+/// times over to produce 50 MB (#71). So this creates the schema in an empty
+/// file and copies every table into it with `crop` left NULL. That is one
+/// pass, with nothing written that is not uploaded.
+///
+/// Consistency comes from doing the whole copy inside one transaction on the
+/// snapshot's connection, which holds a single read snapshot of the source for
+/// its duration. A writer committing meanwhile lands in the source's WAL and is
+/// simply not seen, the same serialisation the backup API gave.
+///
+/// Crops are not lost by this: they travel in the face shards
+/// ([`crate::face_shard::export_to_shards`]), which are written once and
+/// downloaded once. Nothing reads a crop out of a merged remote catalog. The
+/// merge reads a remote face's box and model to match it to a local one, and
+/// no more. So leaving them out costs a receiving device nothing it would
+/// otherwise have had. A device never adopts a downloaded catalog as its own,
+/// so a fresh one gets its crops from the shards too.
+///
+/// The result must stay what every earlier build already merges: same schema,
+/// same `user_version`, same page size and the same WAL flag in the header.
+/// The `the_snapshot_*` tests pin those.

+//! In shipping code under `core/`, `ui/`, `apps/` and `platform/` — every
+//! `src/` tree, with `#[cfg(test)]` items dropped:
+//!
+//! - **Enqueued**: the `JobKind::X` named in the arguments of a call to
+//!   `enqueue(`. An enqueue whose kind is not spelled there — passed in a
+//!   variable — is refused outright, because this scan could not say what it
+//!   queues.
+//! - **Claimed**: the `JobKind::X` in the body of a `fn kinds(` (what a
+//!   `JobHandler` declares, and all a `Runner` claims), or named in a call to
+//!   `claim_next_matching(`. A call to `claim_next(` claims every kind.
+//!   `JobKind::ALL` in either place means every kind.
+//!
+//! Tests and examples are left out on purpose: a unit test of the queue's
+//! mechanics enqueues and claims whatever it likes, and proves nothing about
+//! the app.

-# 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.
-
-version: 1
-
-# The rendering for a body with no entry of its own.
-#
-# **Deliberately not the identity.** The failure this requirement exists to fix
-# 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
-# tame is a photograph that wants a little contrast rather than one that has
-# lost its highlights.

-//! TRACES: FR-DEV-3e
-//! Base curves — the per-body rendering that turns a correct exposure into a
-//! photograph.
-//!
-//! # 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.

 is smooth, so folding the curve into the 3D lookup would need it three times
 larger for the same error. At 32³ the worst interpolation error is about 0.003
