dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 0a331c717e Give the controls a vocabulary, and let a node ask for one
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.

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.

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.
