An audit of code quality and extensibility, written because the answer to "how hard is it to add a feature here?" splits cleanly in two and the split is not where it looks. The develop pipeline is genuinely open: a new operation is one file in `ops/`, and the claim that no code in `ui/` names an operation turns out to be true — all fifteen ids grepped across every .rs and .slint file in `ui/` yield one hit, a localisation test. `dr-ui` is the opposite: every feature lands in `run()`, one of the `wire()` functions, and a root component carrying 472 members, so contributors collide by construction. Five findings, CH-1 to CH-5, each with a falsifiable "done when" in the idiom technical-debt.md already uses. The distinction from that document is deliberate and stated: it records compromises that were chosen and are load-bearing until their criterion is met; this records friction nobody chose. A section listing what must NOT be tidied comes before the findings for the same reason. CH-1 is not a new diagnosis. view-composition.md specified the fix on 2026-08-09, when `run()` was 500 lines; it is 1,810 now, the two view booleans it described are five, and the conditional chains it predicted in app.slint are five-term conjunctions. The entry references that spec rather than restating it, and quantifies the cost of the delay. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Documentation
| Document | Contents |
|---|---|
| requirements.md | What the software must do — 122 numbered requirements |
| architecture.md | How it is built — crates, GPU pipeline, data model, sync |
| milestone-v0.1.md | The first buildable milestone |
| faces.md | Face detection and identity — the models, the licence problem, and what S14 measures |
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.
