Work in progress found uncommitted in the tree, committed as its own change so the fixes that follow can be read separately. Not authored in this session; the description below is written from the diff. `load_window` rebuilds every row, and a scroll reloads once the view has travelled a quarter of the loaded window — so three quarters of the cells being rebuilt are the same photographs already on screen. Rebuilding them empty blanked the grid to `Theme.ground` and refilled it a beat later, once a worker had re-read and re-decoded each one from the store. That is the black flash on every screenful of scrolling, and on a column change, a zoom step, a filter and a return from develop. Thumbnails are now held by `image_id` across the swap — a refcount per cell, no pixels move — along with the "no preview" verdict, which is an answer about the file worth keeping for the same reason. `requested` is rebuilt from what the new model actually holds rather than cleared, so a carried cell is not fetched again while one newly scrolled in still is. The size class each cell's pixels came from is tracked alongside, so a grid zoomed past that class still asks for the sharper one. Also guards the whole `scrolled` and `columns-changed` handlers on `show-library` rather than just the resume latch: a Flickable being torn down passes its viewport through zero, which was indistinguishable from a fling to the top and reloaded the window against the first rows of the catalog every time an image was opened.
DarkRoom

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.
