The reading of a folder belongs to the tab, not to the catalogue screen: it was
made to survive the hand-over to the studio in 753eea0, and it does. What was
missing was any sign of it up there — a visitor who hands a half-read roll to the
studio saw a page that said nothing about the frames still landing, and had no
way to tell a reading in flight from one that had quietly died. The one thing
that did say so, the toolbar line, lived on the screen they had just left.
The header now carries it, immediately left of the way back into the catalogue,
where the two belong together: the ring the catalogue already uses for a roll in
hand, and the count the toolbar states, "4/12", whose title is the same
"Scanning 4/12 — 0 new…" line in the visitor's language. It reads the session
through scanSession() and watches it with watchScan() exactly as the catalogue
does, so a pass that moves the progress moves the header too — the session object
outlives them both, only its progress is replaced each pass. No new state is
introduced, no new copy: the markup borrows .lib-spin and the lib.scanning key
the catalogue already had.
Verified: tsc --noEmit and vite build clean; scripts/scan-nav-check.mjs grew one
step at the first hand-over, "the studio header shows the reading the tab is
doing", which waits for [data-key="studio-scan-count"] mid-scan and matches it
against \d+/\d+ — it passes with 4/12, the same reading the toolbar shows at that
moment; the other 18 steps of that check, the 52 steps of library-check.mjs and
roll-walk-check.mjs all still pass.
ponytail: the header states progress, it does not offer to stop the scan; the
catalogue's own STOP stays the one place that ends a reading. Add a control here
when someone asks to stop a roll from the studio.

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)
