Exporting a real 20 MP CR2 failed every time with "readback did not complete", while the copy itself was perfectly healthy. The bound was 100,000 non-blocking polls. That sounds generous and is not: a `Poll` that finds nothing returns immediately, so the loop spent its entire budget in a few milliseconds. Small transfers — the histogram's 4 KB, a viewport-sized frame — happened to land inside it. An 80 MB frame never could. It is a deadline now, thirty seconds, which is the only thing the bound was ever for: catching a lost device that will never deliver the callback. A one-millisecond pause after the first sixty-four spins stops the loop saturating a core for the length of the copy, while keeping a small transfer as immediate as it was. Found by developing /home/dtourolle/Downloads/_MG_8596.CR2 through the export example: 5472×3648 renders in 127 ms and writes all five formats. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <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.
