Specs for the work that follows: soft delete via a MOVE that preserves the remote id, the collection tree and smart collections, the thumbnail store, and the derived-state folder. Adds two design documents. ui-refinement.md names the structural gaps between the v0.1 UI and something that feels like a photo editor. view-composition.md proposes a view controller for the display layer, against the 500-line run() that has become one by accretion.

Building
Desktop:
cargo run -p darkroom-desktop
Android (containerised toolchain, see docker/android):
./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 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.
