Groundwork for spike S1. Importing a texture into a Slint scene requires it
to come from the *same* `wgpu::Device` Slint renders with, and Slint hands
out a device of the version it was compiled against. Slint 1.17 offers
`unstable-wgpu-28` and `unstable-wgpu-29` and nothing older, so wgpu 23 could
never have met it: two semver-incompatible wgpu crates in one tree are two
distinct types, and the device would not typecheck across the gap.
The version is therefore not a free choice, and the manifest now says so —
Slint and wgpu move together or not at all. The Slint requirement is also
corrected from "1.9" to the 1.17 it has actually been resolving to.
Nothing about the render path changes here. The readback bridge is still in
place and still the display path, so this is verified by the tests that
already existed rather than by anything new: 39 dr-gpu tests, which compare
real pixels off a real device, and 888 across the workspace, all passing.
Zero-copy lands separately and small.
What the six releases cost, in full:
- `ImageCopyTexture`/`ImageCopyBuffer`/`ImageDataLayout` became the
`TexelCopy*` names (24).
- `Instance::new` takes the descriptor by value, and `InstanceDescriptor`
lost its `Default` — it carries a boxed display handle now, so a headless
context says `new_without_display_handle` and means it.
- `request_adapter` returns `Result` rather than `Option` (24).
- `DeviceDescriptor` absorbed the API trace from `request_device`'s second
argument and gained `experimental_features` (25).
- `PipelineLayoutDescriptor` takes `Option<&BindGroupLayout>` per slot, and
`push_constant_ranges` became `immediate_size`.
- `Maintain` became `PollType`, and `poll` is fallible.
Two of those are improvements worth having rather than churn. The error scope
is a guard whose `pop` runs on drop, so an early return from the pipeline
compiler no longer leaves a scope open on the device for whatever ran next to
fall into. And a fallible `poll` reports a lost device (NFR-R7) at the point
it happens, where before the map callback simply never arrived and the
failure surfaced later as a readback that spun out its poll limit.
Still to do for S1: dr-ui renders through `renderer-femtovg`, which is
OpenGL. Texture import needs Slint itself rendering on wgpu.

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.
