The rail was drawing an empty square for every person: cover was hardcoded to a default image. That is the one place a portrait matters most, because the rail is how the user decides which unnamed group to open first, and a list of "Unnamed (24 faces)" rows tells them nothing. The portrait is the person's confirmed face with the largest crop_px -- the most source pixels the face actually occupied, so the one they have the best chance of recognising -- falling back to a suggestion so a freshly clustered group still has a face beside it. Cached in the controller, because every mutating action reloads the whole screen and cutting a portrait costs a JPEG decode per person. Without the cache, confirming one face would re-decode a proxy for every person in the library, and the rail does not change when a suggestion is accepted.

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.
