A sheet over the grid, opened from the header beside "Add to collection" — deliberately the same card, scrim and dismissal as the filing sheet, because they are the same gesture applied to two kinds of label: pick the photographs, then say what they are. A user who has filed a selection already knows how this works. A word the whole selection carries, a word only some of it carries, and a word none of it carries are three visibly different marks. Half-applied shown as applied would be a lie about photographs the user cannot see from here, so a partial keyword draws a dash and says "3 of 12" beside it. Tapping a dash completes the keyword rather than removing it, which is what it means nine times in ten, and the tenth is one more tap away. The vocabulary is answered against the selection in Rust and pulled when the sheet opens rather than pushed on every selection change — the selection moves on each arrow key and the sheet is shut for almost all of them. Assign and unassign travel by name, so a word typed into the field and a word tapped in the list are one path rather than two, and the sheet never has to invent an identity for a keyword that does not exist yet. One gap, commented at the call site: unlike a star or a flag, a keyword is not queued to the image's sidecar, because the sidecar format has no field for one. So it reaches the user's other devices through the catalog merge, and a deleted catalog loses keywords where it would keep ratings. 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.

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.
