Over-clustering is the normal state of a freshly indexed library — FR-CULL-10 says so — which means one person arrives as several groups and the user names each of them the same thing. Until now that produced several people called Anna and no way to join them: `identity::merge` existed, `faces::merge_people` existed with its redirect tombstone, and `merge-into(int)` sat in identity.slint declared, never emitted and never wired. The screen had a split button and no merge. So a rename that collides now offers one. Type a name another person already carries and a strip appears under the field: "Someone else is already called Anna (14 faces). Merge them?" Offered, not performed. `people.uuid` is the identity and the name is not — the schema comment on that column is explicit that two devices naming the same cluster independently is the case it was built for — so two people sharing a name is legal, and folding them together on a keystroke would be the screen making an identity decision on the user's behalf. That is the thing this screen spends a whole button avoiding. The rename always lands first, and declining leaves it exactly as typed. There is nothing to undo because nothing was done. Details that are not arbitrary: The comparison is trimmed and case-insensitive. "anna" on a phone keyboard and "Anna" on a desktop are one intention, and an offer that appeared only when the capitalisation matched would read as a bug. An empty name collides with nothing. Every unnamed cluster renders as "Unnamed (n faces)"; if that counted as a collision the offer would appear on every cluster in a fresh library, and accepting it would fold the library into one person. The newly-named person folds into the one that already held the name, not the reverse. The older person is the one other devices have seen and the one whose confirmations are more likely to be real. Selection follows the merge, because landing on an empty screen after a successful action reads as a failure. The offer is retired when the person changes, and when a refresh finds its target gone — merged from the other side of a sync, or deleted. An offer left standing would fold whoever happens to be selected now. A merged-away person is not a namesake: `faces::people` already excludes redirects, so the offer does not reappear the instant it is accepted. Four tests over the collision rules, and the existing 467 still pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.
