COLLAPSE ALL lived only on the column's own name — the label above the tree —
and that label scrolls with the list it heads: on a roll read deep the column is
scrolled past it, so the item looked like it only appeared once the top-level row
had been folded to bring the list back to the top. The row is where the pointer
already is, and it already carries the folder's menu.
The top-level folder row now leads its own menu with COLLAPSE ALL — rename,
rescan and remove follow it, and a subfolder row is unchanged, since folding a
whole tree is what a row that a tree hangs from can do and a row inside one
cannot. Both entry points run the same one: `root` on the menu state now means
"the head of a tree", the column's own name or the row of a folder picked at the
top level, and the menu draws the item first and then whatever the subject
itself has — the folder's items, or, on the empty part of the column, ADD
FOLDER. The empty part keeps ADD FOLDER alone: it is not the head of a tree.
Verified:
library-check.mjs — 35 steps, all passed. The new step right-clicks
lib-node-CheckRoll with the tree fully open (4 rows) and gets back exactly
[lib-menu-collapse, lib-rename-CheckRoll, lib-rescan-CheckRoll,
lib-drop-CheckRoll]; a right click on the column's name still answers with
lib-menu-collapse alone; the subfolder menu above is still the three folder
items with no fold in it; the empty column still offers lib-menu-add alone.
The fold itself is unchanged and still measured by opening the root back up:
4 rows → 1, and 3 back, with CheckRoll/2026/04 still away.
frontend tsc --noEmit clean. Live 8090 on index-DEvUJDNY.js matching dist/:
/, /library and /app 200 with 0 console errors.
ponytail: the column's name is still the second way to the same item and still
scrolls with the list — left alone because the row is now the one that matters;
make the name sticky when a roll routinely fills the column past one screen.
RecipesCam web — self-contained stack
A Docker-hosted web build of RecipesCam. Everything it needs is in this folder: move it to another machine, run two commands, and the app is up. It does not need the React Native project around it.
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
# → http://localhost:8090
What runs where
| Service | Image | Role |
|---|---|---|
frontend |
nginx:1.27-alpine (built by frontend/Dockerfile) |
Static SPA + /api/ reverse proxy |
api |
node:22-slim (built by backend/Dockerfile) |
Accounts + saved recipes, SQLite on ./data |
frontend resolves api through Docker's embedded DNS and proxies /api/* to
it — that is why the API container is named api and why it is not published on
the host. Only ${WEB_PORT:-8090} is exposed.
Photos never leave the browser. The CanvasKit render pipeline (grade, frame, watermarks, JPEG encode) runs in the visitor's tab; the API only stores recipes as JSON.
Layout
docker-compose.yml the stack
.env.example WEB_PORT
data/ SQLite (created on first run, gitignored)
backend/ Fastify + better-sqlite3 API, own Dockerfile
frontend/ Vite + React + CanvasKit SPA, own Dockerfile + nginx.conf
shared/ vendored copies of the app's types + utils (see below)
src/engine/ skiaShim.ts (CanvasKit) + exportEngine.ts (render pipeline)
+ session.ts (localStorage/IndexedDB studio persistence)
Vendored files
frontend/shared/{types/index.ts,utils/*.ts} are byte-identical copies of
src/types/index.ts and ten src/utils/*.ts files from the React Native
project (@shopify/react-native-skia is aliased to src/engine/skiaShim.ts in
vite.config.ts + tsconfig.json, so those files compile unchanged):
cinemaShader colorUtils defaultRecipes exifWrite frameUtils jpegDpi
paramDefs recipeShare skiaImage toneShader.
The landing page needs no CDN: frontend/public/assets/fonts/*.woff2 are the
seven self-hosted faces behind the three font groups the Themes menu offers
(Plus Jakarta Sans / Inter / JetBrains Mono, Fraunces / Be Vietnam Pro /
Courier Prime, Be Vietnam Pro / Space Mono — all SIL OFL, pulled from Google
Fonts, vietnamese + latin + latin-ext subsets), and
frontend/public/assets/samples/s*.jpg are the six placeholder negatives the
film strip, preset tester and QR card show (swap them for real graded stills
whenever we have them). Its one foreign request is the QR image from
api.qrserver.com, which degrades to an empty slot offline.
When the app changes one of them, copy it back in — the renderer is only "parity" for as long as these stay in sync:
cd <repo>/docker/frontend/shared/utils
cp <repo>/src/utils/<name>.ts .
Operations
docker compose logs -f api # API log
docker compose restart api # after backend/src changes (rebuild: --build)
docker compose down # stop; ./data survives
Backup is the ./data folder — that is the whole database.
Checks
curl -s http://localhost:8090/api/health # {"ok":true}
curl -sI http://localhost:8090/ # 200, index.html
Then open the UI, drop a photo in, and confirm the preview shows the picture and
EXPORT downloads a JPEG that opens. The preview going solid black while the
export still reports a plausible size is the one failure mode worth knowing: it
means the CanvasKit GPU surfaces lost their shared GrDirectContext (see
frontend/src/engine/skiaShim.ts), and with no GPU the raster fallback renders
the same pipeline correctly, just slower.
