dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 6d6ef8d34b Page the grid along an index instead of sorting the library each time
Scrolling jittered, and this was the largest single reason. Every window the
grid loads is `ORDER BY ... LIMIT n OFFSET k`, and neither half of that was
being answered the cheap way.

**The sort.** `GRID_ORDER` leads with `captured_at IS NULL`, so undated frames
fall to the end. No ordinary index answers that — the leading term is an
expression, not a column — so SQLite sorted the whole library into a temp
b-tree on every window read, then threw away the first `k` rows of it. Schema
V7 indexes the expression exactly as the query writes it, partial on the same
`shadowed_by IS NULL AND trashed_at IS NULL` the grid filters by, so the read
becomes a walk along the index.

**The join.** `LEFT JOIN remote` was paged *after* it was joined, so reading
280 cells at offset 20,000 first seeked into `remote` for all 24,000 rows and
then discarded 23,720 of them. The file ids are now fetched for the 280 rows
that survived — the shape the badge and rating reads already use, one query for
the window rather than one per cell.

Measured together on 24,000 images at offset 20,000: **15.2 ms → 0.36 ms**,
inside a scroll handler that has 16.7 ms to draw a frame.

The test asserts on the query plan rather than on a duration, because there is
no other symptom. A `GRID_ORDER` edited out of step with the index, or a column
added back that drags `remote` in again, both still return exactly the right
cells — just after sorting the library — and the jitter would come back with
nothing to point at.

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.
