The roll brought the open photograph into view by the shortest move,
which is right for stepping along it and wrong for the first look: a
frame near either end of the loaded window arrived hard against an edge,
with nothing on that side to give it any context.
It now centres on the first settle of a develop session and steps
minimally after that. A one-shot request that the strip itself clears --
the only thing that knows the request has been honoured is the code
honouring it -- rather than something recomputed on creation, because the
strip is created far more often than a session begins: leaving develop
for Settings and coming back rebuilds it, and re-centring then would undo
a roll the user had scrolled by hand.
Raised on the two ways into develop from the grid, and not on a pick
along the roll, which is a step within a session rather than the start of
one.
Centring is clamped to the ends: the third photograph of a window cannot
be centred without scrolling empty space in beside it, and a strip that
begins with a gap reads as broken rather than as centred.
