BLACK, SHADOW, HIGHLIGHT and WHITE were four bumps summed into the identity, and the sum carried a guard: the two bumps of a half shared a slope, so past a total of 1 the curve folded backwards, and the ceiling that stopped it was shared by the amplitudes of a half. A stock already sitting on SHADOW therefore took BLACK's lift down with it — on the monochrome stock (sh = -0.24) BLACK at -100 came back with 0.663 of the travel the knob has on its own, which is the "kéo theo sự thay đổi của thông số khác" report exactly. thay_doi_thong_so_giong_lightroom.md section 2 asks for four WINDOWS instead: each knob owns a compact band of the ramp and is exactly zero outside it, and the four moves are applied ONE AFTER ANOTHER rather than summed. A composition of monotone maps is monotone by construction, so it needs no guard, and each knob then measures 1.00 of its travel on every stock. BLACKS is the doc's toe — u = clamp(1 - L/0.18, 0, 1) cubed, opened by sqrt(L) - L at 0.7 and deepened by 0.85, both of which are exactly zero at L = 0, so (0,0,0) stays (0,0,0): the grey pedestal that BLACK +100 left on a black was the sum adding its bump's height at the black point, which is the doc's own "Milky / Foggy". SHADOWS is the doc's bell over the deep tones, HIGHLIGHTS the bell over the bright ones, WHITES the doc's Hermite on the shoulder from 0.80. The ramp keeps its two anchors — 0.00 and 1.00 — at every setting of the four knobs. One deliberate departure from the doc: HIGHLIGHT carries a (1 - L) the doc's raw knee does not, because pow(L - 0.5, 1.5) added to L overshoots the cube above 0.94 — 17% of the ramp driven to flat white at +100 before the clamp. Read against the headroom that is left, the move is zero at L = 1 by construction and the head rolls instead of clipping. The windows are read in the sRGB-encoded luma this file already works in, not in linear light as the doc's section 1 sets out: the doc's own boundaries (0.18, 0.05..0.45, 0.55..0.95, 0.80) land as perceptual positions there, and moving the whole renderer to the linear domain is a bigger change than this pass. The divergence is the one the scratchpad compat doc already warns the Android port about, and it is noted at the windows themselves. Checked: `tsc --noEmit` clean; `highlight-knee-check.mjs`, `tone-base-check.mjs` and `mask-wb-check.mjs` updated to the four windows and passing; the twin ramp over a 1/512 grid is monotone to -0.00119 (0.30 code values, at t = 0.098 with every knob at full negative), both anchors hold for every combination, and a knob outside its band is the exact identity.
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

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.
