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.

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.
