The previous commit moved durable data out of Android's cache directory, and on its own that would have been an upgrade that quietly discarded work. The app looks in the new location, finds nothing, and rescans a library of tens of thousands of images over the network — while the old copy, including every offline rating and edit that had not yet synced, sits in a directory the system is free to delete. So the account's directory is moved once at startup, before anything opens a store. A rename rather than a copy: both are inside the app's own data on one filesystem, so it is atomic and cannot half-finish. An existing destination wins and the move is skipped — that covers a second run and a fresh install, and in neither case may this overwrite live data. A failed move is logged, not fatal. The cost is a rescan, which is recoverable; refusing to start is not. Two tests, against ordinary directories rather than the platform's idea of a cache: one puts an unsynced sidecar in the old location and asserts it is readable in the new one afterwards, the other pins that live data is never overwritten.

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.
