The catalog, the sidecar cache and the export outbox were all landing in the app's cache directory on Android, where the system deletes them without asking under storage pressure. `catalog_path` derived its base from `XDG_DATA_HOME` or `HOME`, and neither is set on Android, so it fell through to `temp_dir()` — which resolves there to `/data/user/0/<pkg>/cache`. Confirmed on the tablet: the app logs its catalog under `cache/darkroom/...`. What sits beside that catalog is not disposable. `sidecars/` is the commit point for every rating and edit made with no connection — the whole mechanism that makes offline culling safe — and `outbox/` holds exports the user has already been told succeeded. A day of sorting on a train, evicted by an OS housekeeping pass before it ever reached the server, is the worst failure this application can have, and it would leave no error and no trace. The fallback is now `SessionStore::data_dir()`, the persistent per-app directory the Android entry point establishes before any store opens — the same one credentials and sessions already use. Desktop is untouched: the XDG data location is still preferred, so nobody's catalog moves. Two tests. One asserts no durable path contains `/cache/` or `/tmp/`; the other pins the outbox to the catalog's parent, because three call sites derive their location that way and a change here moves all of them at once. Found while verifying that offline browsing works on the tablet with wifi disabled — which it does: the app cold-starts with no network, reports the scan failure without crashing, and serves its grid from the local store.

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.
Documentation

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.
