The scene model shipped with a decoder and no caller. This runs it. ## Beside the instance pass, not instead of it `compute` now does both on the same upright frame and lays both back down the same way, so instance masks and category masks index into one grid — the sensor's. A failure in the scene half is logged and dropped rather than propagated: no scene model is an ordinary state, and a photograph that can still be masked by subject should not become unopenable because the categories are missing. Categories under half a percent of the frame never reach the cache. A control that does nothing when moved is worse than an absent one, and each one it skips is a proxy-sized buffer not allocated. ## The shader needed nothing A category reaches `dr-gpu` as a soft coverage buffer at proxy resolution, turned into a distance field — which is exactly what a subject is. So they share `MODE_SUBJECT`. That is not a shortcut taken for speed: the shader has no way to tell them apart and no reason to want one. What differs is only which model produced the coverage, and that has already happened by then. Feather, falloff, dilation and erosion therefore work on a category on the day it arrives, because they were never subject-specific. ## Where the weights come from `scene-model` compiles the graph in and the desktop app takes it; Android leaves it off and reads the copy `install_bundled_models` unpacks, because 24 MB of constant is worth avoiding in a mobile install and not worth the plumbing to avoid on a desktop one. Embedded is tried first — a build that has the weights compiled in should not be silently overridden by a stale file in a data directory.

DarkRoom
A cross-platform, non-destructive RAW photo editor for Linux and Android.
Status: 0.9.0, and no longer a spike. A library opens, culls, develops and exports on both platforms, across eight tagged releases. What is not built is written down rather than merely absent — see docs/outstanding.md for the requirements that have no implementation and why, and docs/technical-debt.md for the compromises that were chosen.

Building
Desktop:
cargo run -p darkroom-desktop
Android (containerised toolchain, see docker/android):
./docker/android/build.sh cargo ndk -t arm64-v8a build --release
Git LFS is required for the model weights, and the toolchain pins itself. CONTRIBUTING.md has the details and the four commands CI will run against what you send.
Current state
Working. A catalog over a local folder, a Nextcloud account, or a folder a
sync client keeps in virtual-files mode — where a placeholder is treated as the
photograph rather than as a one-byte file. A virtualised library grid with a
capture-time timeline, ratings, labels, keywords, collections and a trash that
survives a crash mid-operation. Card ingest. Face detection and identity, with
the index syncing between devices. A develop pipeline of fifteen declared
operations fused into a single compute dispatch, plus the neighbourhood
operations that cannot be — clarity, texture, capture sharpening, noise
reduction, lens correction, spectral film simulation. Crop, straighten, spot
removal, gradient and subject-segmentation masks, named presets, and a
generated panel that no operation in ui/ is allowed to name. Export to JPEG,
PNG and 8- or 16-bit TIFF with resize and output sharpening.
The zero-copy display path works on desktop. The compute pass writes a texture that Slint composites directly, which is what ARCH §6.1 requires; the readback it forbids costs 96% of frame time at 4K, and
cargo run -p dr-gpu --example bench --features readback
still reproduces that measurement. The one exception is the Android develop view, which reads the frame back through the CPU because zero-copy there needs wgpu's Vulkan swapchain, and that tears a portrait window on a tablet whose panel is mounted landscape. It is debt, not a revision of the rule: the reasoning, the on-device measurements that forced it, and the three separate things any one of which would remove it are in technical-debt.md TD-1.
Not built. Plugins, compare and survey culling, focus peaking, burst grouping, AI denoise, tiled and progressive rendering, and most of the Android platform integration beyond running. The performance targets in §4.1 are unverified rather than unmet — the per-commit benchmark suite §8 requires does not exist, so nothing fails a build on a regression. docs/outstanding.md is the list, with the reasoning.
