dtourolle 12d320cf33 Record what the spec got wrong about the model that exists
docs/segmentation.md §4 priced arm B as costing a C dependency under the
NDK and treated that as most of the difference between the arms. It is not
a cost that has to be paid: `ort`'s `alternative-backend` disables its
linking entirely and `ort-tract` supplies the API from tract, which is pure
Rust. D13's "largest exception the policy would tolerate" turns out not to
be needed, and the answer generalises to the face pipeline — so D13's
runtime half is now answered and only its licensing half is open.

Three findings contradict §4 outright and are recorded as F4-F6 rather than
quietly designed around. There is no ADE20K-trained YOLO, so the shipped
vocabulary selects subjects and not stuff — "select the sky" comes from the
watershed or from nowhere. It is instance segmentation, so it partitions
nothing and two people come back as two instances. And tract cannot parse a
dynamic-shape export, which fixes the input at 640 square and makes tiling
the only route to more semantic resolution.

Arm C ships, but §8's criteria are not what decided it, and saying so
matters more than claiming the process worked. §8 asked for a two-
interaction margin over arm A on a traced corpus. That comparison was never
run: F4 and F5 changed what the arms are, and a model that recognises
subjects but has no word for sky cannot be a selection tool alone, while a
watershed cannot tell a person from the wall behind them. They stopped
being candidates and became complements.

What is *not* done is written down as plainly: the 24-image corpus is
untraced, so M1-M4 have no numbers and "this feels right" has not become
one. M5 is answered on one device only, and region ids now reach the
sidecar — so a cross-vendor divergence would mean a mask written on the
desktop meaning something else on Android. F3 stands.

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.
