Four asks, one shape: the LIGHT column had a chip that opened the same two
knobs DETAIL & EFFECTS already shows, the WB table was reading as one long
line per preset, the disclosure carets were too small to be the affordance
they are, and both folds — the studio's panels and the catalogue's folder tree
— opened fully every time. What the fold is for is the same in both places: a
column of a dozen controls is a wall to scroll past, and the control being
looked for is named by the head it sits under. So both open folded, and both
remember what was opened.
GRAIN's chip is gone from the LIGHT row. Its strip held a knob `grain` and the
"size" behind it, and both are rows of DETAIL & EFFECTS now — MONOCHROME GRAIN
and GRAIN SIZE — so the chip was a second way to one pair. The strip machinery
stays (`GroupKey 'grain'`, `groupDefs.grain`, `grainInch()`): it is reachable
from nothing today, and taking it out is a diff of its own. What went with the
chip is the `/INCH` readout, which only the strip drew.
The WB presets read as a name on one line and its kelvin under it: the label is
the chip's own label and the kelvin moved from the label into the value slot,
which the grid's rule stacks (`flex-direction: column`, `font-size: 11px`,
`white-space: nowrap`). Seven buttons, 147x39 each, name
box 14px — one line at 11px/1.25 — kelvin at 10px, `scrollWidth` equal to
`clientWidth` on every one of them. The kelvin rides a swatch, so it wears the
fill's own ink rather than the panel's dim grey (`.chip.tinted .val { color:
inherit }`): readableInk already picks #0b0e12 or #ffffff off that fill for
4.5:1, and dimming it a step costs contrast on a mid grey fill. Measured off
the running page: 4.88:1 (CLOUDY) to 5.00:1 (TUNGSTEN), name and kelvin alike.
The panels: `recipescam.develop.open` holds the slugs that are open, comma-
joined, and a slug no panel answers to is dropped on the way in, so a renamed
or removed panel leaves no hole. A visit that touches nothing writes nothing —
the column opens folded from an empty store — and a click on a head writes the
list as it stands. The caret is drawn a size up from the label it sits beside
(17px against an 11px head) and takes full opacity under the pointer, because
a line of uppercase does not read as a control on its own.
The tree: a row's click still opens it and folds it again, but the set it moves
in is inverted — what is *drawn open* rather than what is folded away — which
is what makes the state storable at all (a folded set is the whole tree minus
what is open, and the whole tree is not in that state to be stored). The
column opens with every folder shut, and the remembered set comes back over
it. A first visit under the new rule has no stored set and can still have a
folder remembered from before, so that one case seeds its ancestors: a screen
that opens on a node shrunk away behind a shut row is worse than a
remembered fold. COLLAPSE ALL folds the top-level row too now, which is what
makes it the way back to the column's rest — it was written when a top-level
row could not be folded, and the item is disabled when there is nothing open.
The caret is a leaf on a row with nothing under it, as it was.
`remember.ts` is the two functions both screens now share; Library had its own
copy of them.
The two checks that read these screens were wrong about the new fold and are
right about it now, not the other way round. `library-check` gains the rest
state (`the tree opens with the folders folded away — 1 rows`), walks the
tree a level per click, and reads the visit it left behind off a reload:
`lib-node-CheckRoll:true lib-node-CheckRoll/2026:true .../04:- .../Empty:-`,
with the screen marked on the subfolder. Two of its steps were stale
expectations rather than a fault: the fold-the-tree claim is one click over
four rows once the rows are opened for it, and the folder the screen reopens
on is the last row clicked, not the one clicked before it. `scan-nav-check`
asks the same tree for its deepest folder, so it opens the two rows above it
and folds them back — the reading it is watching does not move with rows.
Verified: `npx tsc --noEmit` clean, `npm run build` clean
(`dist/assets/index-T721P-Nv.js` 711.33 kB, `dist/assets/index-Co_dQD6t.css`
65.69 kB). `scripts/library-check.mjs` — "all checks passed", 55 steps, none
failing — including `the tree opens with the folders folded away — 1 rows,
aria-expanded=false`, `a row draws its own children, not the whole branch — 3
rows`, `and one click folds every row, leaving the frames where they were — 4
rows → 1, lib-node-CheckRoll:false, 2 tiles kept`, `the tree reopens with the
rows that were left open`, `the screen reopens on the folder it was left on —
lib-node-CheckRoll/2026`, `the screen reopens on the frame that was raised`,
and the column `198px, then 198px`. `scripts/scan-nav-check.mjs` — all steps
passed, its tree walk reading
`["lib-node-SlowRoll","lib-node-SlowRoll/2026","lib-node-SlowRoll/2026/04"]`.
In the running page: 5 panel heads and 0 panel bodies at rest with
`recipescam.develop.open` unset, caret `17px` `▸`; the WB table's seven rows
at 147x39 with name 14px one line, kelvin below at 10px, `nowrap`, no
overflow, ink 4.88–5.00:1; the LIGHT chip row `["auto","curve","fix",
"gradient-mask","mono","wb-temp:*","reset-all"]` — no `grp-grain` — with
MONOCHROME GRAIN and GRAIN SIZE still the two rows of DETAIL & EFFECTS; two
heads opened, `wb,effects` stored, and the same two open after a reload with
the other three shut. The deployed bundle was read too: `docker compose build
frontend && docker compose up -d frontend`, and `index-DpYWAhJ3.js` off
`127.0.0.1:8090` carries `recipescam.develop.open` and
`recipescam.library.open` and no `grp-grain`, with the same probe readings
taken against it.

RecipesCam
RecipesCam is a camera and photo-editing app built around recipes — reusable
looks that carry a film simulation plus a full set of adjustments. You shoot or
open a photo, dial in a look, and keep it as a recipe you can apply again, share
as a .recipe file, or save to your account.
It ships twice from one repository: a React Native (Expo) app for iOS and
Android, and a self-contained web build under docker/ that runs the same
render pipeline in the browser.
What it does
- Shoot with a recipe applied. Live viewfinder, GPS-tagged captures, and the recipe baked into the saved file.
- Film simulations. Built-in looks — PROVIPES, VELVIPES, CLASSIC CHRIPES, CLASSIC NEGIPES, ASTIPES, ETERNIPES, ACRIPES, B&W HIGH CONTRAST and the LC STREETLIFE pair — each with its own grain and tone curve.
- The full adjustment set. Exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows, saturation, colour temperature, clarity, grain, and an HSL mixer with a colour picker that samples straight off the photo.
- Geometry. Crop to a fixed ratio or free-form, quarter turns, and a straighten ruler, plus printed frames (classic border, retro instant, wall frame portrait/landscape).
- Finishing. Watermark and GPS stamp, EXIF carried through the export, JPEG written with a proper 300 DPI JFIF header.
- On-device upscaling. A Real-ESRGAN pass runs locally when an export asks for more pixels than the source has — no server sees the photo.
- Recipes. Save, favourite, export and import
.recipefiles; the web build keeps them in your account, the phone build also keeps them on device.
The two builds
| Build | Where | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| iOS / Android | repo root | Expo + React Native, @shopify/react-native-skia for the render pipeline, NativeWind for styling |
| Web | docker/ |
Vite + React, CanvasKit (canvaskit-wasm) for the same pipeline, Fastify + SQLite API for accounts and recipes |
The render engine is shared by design: the web build compiles the app's own
src/utils/* and type definitions unchanged, with @shopify/react-native-skia
aliased to a CanvasKit shim (docker/frontend/src/engine/skiaShim.ts). A look
looks the same on both because it is the same code.
Running the web build
cd docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
# → http://localhost:8090
Photos never leave the browser: grading, framing, watermarking and JPEG
encoding all run in the visitor's tab; the API only stores accounts and recipe
JSON. See docker/README.md for the layout and the proxy setup.
Running the app
npm install
npx expo start # Expo Go / dev client
npx expo run:android # or run:ios for a native build
Repository layout
App.tsx, src/ the Expo app: screens, tool rail, viewfinder, shaders
docker/ the web build (frontend + API + compose file)
