`adb shell run-as` refuses on a release build — "package not debuggable" — and the app's private storage is then unreachable from the host. That storage is where the face shards, the thumbnail store and the catalog live, so when a device disagrees with the desktop about what it has synced there is no way to find out which of them is right. An evening was spent guessing at exactly that. `DARKROOM_DEBUGGABLE=1 ./docker/android/package.sh --install` now sets `android:debuggable` through aapt2's `--debug-mode`, and nothing else changes. Set through aapt2 rather than written into `AndroidManifest.xml` on purpose: the flag then exists only for the build that asked for it, and a release build cannot inherit it because somebody forgot to take it out again. A debuggable APK lets any process on the device read this app's files, so it belongs on a test tablet and nowhere else. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
