A bug fix release. Nothing here changes what DarkRoom is for since 0.10.0; it changes how often it does the thing it already claimed to do. The edits that went missing. A subject or category layer was stored as identity alone, on the reasoning that the pixels were reproducible by re-running the model — true, but nothing re-runs one except a photographer pressing "find subjects". So a reopened photograph rendered without its local adjustments and then saved that state back, and a batch export wrote three hundred files without the edits their photographer had made, over a log warning. The coverage now travels in the sidecar. Export also learned to write the photograph rather than the canvas, and to carry the photograph's header when the export is made from develop. Face indexing was reading previews. It ran against a proxy and then recorded the result as though it had seen the photograph, so faces smaller than the proxy could resolve were not missed, they were *concluded absent*. Indexing now runs on the native render, runs made against proxies too small to find a face are forgotten rather than trusted, and a sweep that fails everything says so instead of reporting a clean pass. Where you were. The photo roll opens on the frame it opened with, develop returns you to the photograph you were editing, the grid keeps its place when another screen covers it, and the photographer's position now travels between devices rather than being rediscovered on each. Startup. The catalog opens on a worker and the bundled models unpack on one, so a launch is no longer a page-by-page read on the way to the first frame; the app says it is starting before there is anything to say it with. The People rail builds the rows you can see, keeps portraits off the blocking path, and withholds the empty groups that used to fill it. Segmentation gained the half it was missing: the colour gate decided what belonged to a category and had no way to decide where its edge fell, so a refined sky kept the model's blocky outline no matter how the control was set. A marker-based watershed now puts each contour onto a real edge, and the refinement is a per-layer slider. Coverage 70.4% -> 70.6% (127/180).

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.
