Nothing read EXIF orientation, so every frame from a body held sideways lay on its side — in the grid, in develop, and in the read-only preview. The tag is honoured as part of *reading the file*, at the same standing as a RAW's masked-photosite crop, never as an edit. It lives as a baseline on Framing rather than as a starting value for quarter_turns, which is what keeps four things true: a sideways file opens unmodified, reset returns it to upright rather than to the sensor's scan order, its sidecar stays empty, and the rotate button still moves the image 90° whatever the file underneath it says. Framing::effective composes the baseline with the user's own turns through the group law rather than by adding turns and OR-ing flags. The naive version gets one case wrong — an odd baseline turn plus a user mirror — and gets it wrong quietly, because the result is still a plausible orientation. The composition collapses to a single permutation, so obeying the tag costs nothing per pixel. dr_decode::orientation is a header-only IFD walk, separate from metadata() for the reason the entry points are separate at all: the grid asks once per cell and must not build a rawler decoder to get one tag. CR3 and RAF fall back to the full read, being neither TIFF nor JPEG. Written down as FR-DEV-3h. Known gap: thumbnails cached before this stay sideways. The store is keyed by file and size, and its shards sync — invalidating them would have every client re-download 25 MB a shard, which is not this commit's call to make.

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.
