dr-export could turn a frame into bytes and nothing could ask it to. This is the button, and the place the bytes go. **Everything is staged first.** An export bound for the server is written to a local outbox and uploaded afterwards; offline is not a special case, it is the same path with a drain that finds the server absent. Doing it the other way — upload directly, stage only on failure — makes the failure path the one that is rarely exercised and always broken, and a network drop mid-batch leaves some exports existing and some not with nothing recording which. Staged first, an export is finished the moment it is written and the upload is a promise kept later. The outbox sits beside the catalog rather than under the cache. dr_catalog's cache already draws that line: passive entries are a convenience and go under LRU, pinned ones are a promise and never do. An export awaiting upload is a promise — the user was told it succeeded — and sweeping it for disk would destroy the only copy. Bytes are written before the destination record, so a kill between the two leaves an orphan the drain ignores rather than a record pointing at nothing. The status line says "Queued for Exports/2026", never "Exported to Nextcloud", until it has actually landed. There is a test asserting that wording, because the tempting shorter sentence is a claim the app cannot keep. The drain runs on the sync pass, before the shards: a thumbnail shard can be rebuilt from the originals and the catalog is an index, but a queued export exists nowhere else. `DevelopSession::render_for_export` renders the framed size rather than reusing the frame on screen, which is deliberately viewport-sized (FR-DSP-1) — encoding that would hand the user a soft, screen-sized file with nothing to say anything had been lost (FR-EXP-9). One compromise, recorded rather than hidden: the export runs synchronously on the UI thread, so the window is unresponsive for the few hundred milliseconds a full-resolution render and encode takes. Moving a DevelopSession and its GPU pass to a worker is a larger change than one button earns, and it is batch export that makes the wait intolerable rather than merely noticeable. Still missing: the Nextcloud folder *picker*. The destination is typed into Settings for now. `FolderBrowser` in launch.rs is already the reusable model for it — it browses a remote tree and nothing about it is specific to choosing a library root — but wiring it into the settings page needs a listing worker and browser UI there, which is its own piece of work. Carries in-flight work from a parallel session — presets, the develop copy and paste, and the node schema's `presentation` and `enum` support. One misplaced callback in settings_ui.rs is moved from `render` to `wire`: registered in `render` it borrowed a `&SettingsController` into a 'static closure and would not compile, and that file's own docs say render pushes properties while wire connects callbacks. 992 tests pass, clippy and fmt clean. Traceability 48.3% -> 51.0%. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.
