Two faults behind "the gallery randomly glitches to blank and needs a scroll to reset it", and behind the scrolling that skips. Cells are drawn at their absolute place in the library, so the row a photograph sits on is `index / columns`. When `columns` changes every cell moves — and the Flickable's `viewport-y` did not move with them. The view was left pointing at a row that now holds entirely different photographs, typically thousands of images from the ones the loaded window covers, so the grid drew nothing at all. It stayed that way until a scroll reported a first-visible row and dragged the window back under the view, which is exactly the reset the user found. None of its triggers are rare: a resize, the collections sidebar opening, a zoom step, or turning the tablet over. The last first-visible ordinal names the photograph being looked at, so it is now sent back through `scroll-to` and the view lands on that same photograph at whatever row it now occupies. The second fault is the window-move test. At either end of a scope the window is pinned — the first screenful cannot be centred further back than zero, the last cannot start past the last full screenful — so the margin test was unsatisfiable there and every row crossed in the first or last quarter of a window re-read the catalog, rebuilt the model and issued a thumbnail batch to arrive at the offset it already held. On a library of twenty-odd thousand that is a stutter at the top and the bottom of every collection, which is where a cull begins and ends. The decision is now a rule with tests rather than four lines inside the scroll handler: both of its ways of being wrong are invisible in the code and obvious on a tablet.
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.
