dtourolle cc1c5c892d Support requesting VFS hydration; fix Android TLS cross-compilation
Correcting the previous commit: I claimed VFS placeholders could not be
downloaded. That was wrong. The desktop client exposes a socket at
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/Nextcloud/socket speaking newline-delimited
COMMAND:argument, and MAKE_AVAILABLE_LOCALLY:<path> does fetch the file.
Verified against client 4.0.7: a 1-byte stub became a real 2.8MB file in
2.8 seconds.

Implemented as dr-sync-nextcloud::desktop_client, deliberately optional.
Android has no desktop client, no XDG_RUNTIME_DIR socket and no
placeholders, so detect() returns None there and callers fall back to the
connector. It earns its place only because it is ~30 lines with no
dependencies: where a library already lives in a VFS folder, asking the
client to fetch beats downloading a second copy over WebDAV and leaving
the client's placeholder state inconsistent.

What this does not change: hydration is whole-file, so it suits the
original tier and never browsing. Filling a grid this way downloads the
entire library. Range extraction remains the only mechanism satisfying
FR-NC-3, and ARCH §9.0 now says so precisely.

Also fixes two real Android build failures found by cross-compiling:

  - reqwest's `rustls` feature defaults to aws-lc-rs, whose aws-lc-sys
    crate is C and fails under the NDK — exactly the pain D1 chose Rust
    to avoid. Switched to rustls-no-provider + ring, installing the
    provider in the constructor so no caller can build a client that
    panics on first use.
  - ring itself needs CC/AR per target; cargo-ndk sets only the linker.
    Added them to the container.

87 tests passing. dr-sync-nextcloud cross-compiles for aarch64-linux-android.

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.
