Before the previous commit, browser sign-in could store an account as http://, and the client now refuses to send to one. Left alone, such a library would fail to open with a configuration error, so its stored endpoint is rewritten before anything reads it. The endpoint is half of two keys, and both are handled: - The keyring entry is filed under it. Rewriting only the record would strand the app password under the old key and sign the user out, so AccountStore::move_endpoint copies the secret across first, rewrites the record in place (the last record is the one resumed), and deletes the old entry only once nothing refers to it. - namespace() is built from it and names the catalog directory. For an http to https rewrite it does not change, because the namespace strips either scheme. A move that would change it is refused, not performed, so no later rewrite can abandon a catalog either. The rewrite is a new BackendProvider::upgrade_endpoint hook, which does nothing by default, and not a second call to normalise_endpoint. The folder connector's normalise_endpoint canonicalises the path and needs it to exist, so running it on every launch would fail a library on an unplugged disk, or rename one whose path now resolves differently. Only Nextcloud implements the hook. If the move fails (for example, a locked keyring), it is logged, the account is left as it was, and the move is tried again on the next launch. Closes #65.
Documentation
Two audiences, two folders. Most people want the first table and never the second.
Using DarkRoom
| The manual | Every feature, pictured from the application itself — opening a library, rating and filing, developing, local masks, repair, film, panoramas, export |
| How it is driven | Every gesture and shortcut, by screen. Generated from the code, so it cannot describe one the application does not have |
The top-level README says what DarkRoom is, how to get it on each platform, and what is still missing.
Changing DarkRoom
Everything under dev/ is for someone working on the code. Start with
CONTRIBUTING.md, which says how to land a first change
without reading the rest.
The register and the record. What must be built, how it is built, and how far along it is.
| requirements.md | What the software must do — the numbered register, the decisions (D-numbers) and the spikes (S-numbers) |
| architecture.md | How it is built — crates, the GPU pipeline, the data model, sync |
| traceability.md | Generated: which requirement is claimed by which file. Never edited by hand |
| outstanding.md | What is specified and not built, and whether that is a decision or a gap |
| technical-debt.md | Compromises taken deliberately, each with the condition that retires it |
| code-health.md | What a contribution costs, per seam, measured |
Designs, one per subsystem. Each is the specification the code was built to, kept current as the code moved.
| catalog.md | The index, the library view, incremental scan, the job queue |
| storage.md | Storage backends: the seam a folder, a sync client and a Nextcloud account share |
| faces.md | Face detection, identity, clustering and the eye-state models |
| segmentation.md | How the application finds the regions a local mask snaps to |
| mask-editing.md | Painting, erasing and combining masks |
| spot-removal.md | Clone and heal as parameters in the edit graph |
| panorama.md | Alignment, projection, the chunked composite and the border fill |
| inference.md | The neural runtime and model chosen per device, with the measurements |
| display-and-extension.md | The display contract, and why the fused pipeline is already most of a plugin format |
| view-composition.md | A controller for the display layer |
| ui-navigation.md | Finding things in the interface once there are many |
Measurements. Numbers committed so a regression is a diff rather than a recollection.
| benchmarks.md | The per-commit suite: what it covers, what it does not, how to read a failure |
| bench-baseline.json | The committed numbers the suite checks against |
| frame-budget.md | What a frame costs on each device, and the decision those figures settled |
Platforms and distribution.
| distribution.md | Which channels v1 targets and what each one constrains |
| windows.md | The Windows installer, cross-built from the Linux CI |
| android-signing.md | Which key signs the APK, and keeping it |
Archive. Kept as the record of what was asked for, not as plans.
| milestone-v0.1.md | The first milestone, delivered 2026-08-30 and superseded |
| ui-refinement.md | How the interface should look; succeeded by ui-navigation.md |
Conventions
Two files here are generated and must not be edited by hand:
gestures.md and dev/traceability.md. Both come from
cargo run -p traceability and the pre-commit hook keeps them in step with
the tree. The manual's pictures are recorded by
tools/manual and live in LFS.
A design document links to the requirements it satisfies and to the code
that satisfies them. When the code moves, the link moves with it; a document
that has stopped being true goes to dev/archive/ with a note saying what
replaced it, rather than being deleted.
