`ops/*.yaml` plus `build.rs` has been the class-1 plugin format since the declarative nodes landed — it was simply resolved at build time. Nothing about a declaration requires the compiler: everything it produces is data plus a WGSL string, and the composer already assembles WGSL at run time from whatever operations are active. So this is not a new mechanism. It is the existing one, loaded later (FR-PLG-2). `DeclaredOp` implements `Operation` from an owned `Declaration` — one interpreter over many declarations, where `build.rs` emits generated code per node. The generated path stays, as FR-PLG-2 says it should: a generated `match` is faster than an interpreted one, the built-ins' declared `tests:` have to run under `cargo test`, and generated source is inspectable in a way an interpreter's state is not. **The reader is now one file, read by both.** `src/declared/decl.rs` and `src/declared/expr.rs` are `#[path]`-included by `build.rs` as well as being modules of the crate, and they produce a neutral `Declaration` that names no Rust type. The build script's job is reduced to *rendering* that declaration as Rust; `DeclaredOp` converts the same declaration into descriptors and `Expr::eval` walks the same tree the renderer writes out. There is one grammar, one set of validations and one set of error messages, so "a plugin is the same kind of thing as a built-in" is structural rather than aspirational. What remains genuinely written twice is the pair of backends — an arithmetic node rendered as Rust here and evaluated there — and that is what the parity test stands between. `tests/declared_parity.rs` parses every built-in declaration at run time and asserts the composed WGSL is byte-for-byte what the generated implementation produces, with the uniform block bit-for-bit identical, at both ends of every parameter's range and at four interior points; then again over the whole develop chain with the declared nodes swapped in, which is what covers uniform slot ordering and helper de-duplication between operations. A third test asserts the declared and hand-written nodes partition `ops/` between them, so coverage cannot shrink silently. Bit-for-bit rather than within a tolerance, because a tolerance is where a real divergence hides. The one thing that had to be got right for that to hold is number literals: `expr::as_f32` rounds a decimal exactly once, through the same shortest-round-trip text the compiler is handed, rather than rounding an `f64` a second time. Not in scope, and deliberately untagged: load-time WGSL validation (FR-PLG-11), id namespacing, a plugin directory read at startup, and pass nodes (FR-PLG-2a). Those are separate work, and tagging them from here would be the overstatement the spec's own §7 warns about. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.
