Keep the GLES path when the scale arrives first, stop re-rendering what does not change, and let the compositor skip what the surface covers
Measured on a Librem 5 (Cortex-A53, GC7000Lite, 720×1440 at scale 2) with a frame trace on both sides of the socket: the shell's main surface repainted in 110 to 136 ms, quick settings drew at 20 fps with the GPU saturated, and every panel open uploaded its wallpaper and icons again. Most of it was the toolkit doing work the frame did not need. Backend choice. When the compositor announces the output scale before the first `configure`, `scale_factor_changed` allocated an SHM pool for the surface and `on_configure` took that pool as the sign that the software path had been chosen, locking the surface to tiny-skia for its whole life. Every ltk main surface on a scale-2 phone ran in software while its overlays, which inherit the scale from the main and never receive that event, ran on the GPU. The scale handler now only reallocates a pool that already exists; before the first configure neither path is chosen. Wallpapers. `WallpaperBundle::for_size` returned the crop at the source resolution, a 1103×2160 slice of a 4K image for a 720×1440 panel, 10 MB uploaded per texture and a hundred milliseconds each time. The crop is now downscaled to the surface (bilinear, once per size, cached), also for landscape surfaces smaller than the source. Viewport. `Element::Viewport` created a fresh sub-canvas every frame, on GLES a framebuffer, a 2048² glyph atlas and empty image and glyph caches, so a panel clipped to a height that animates re-uploaded its wallpaper and re-rasterised every glyph on every frame. Without a bottom fade the clip is now a scissor on the parent canvas (a mask on the software backend): no offscreen pass, no blit, and the child's textures stay in the parent's caches. `local_viewport` is honoured through a temporary override of the layout viewport. Viewports with a fade keep their sub-canvas, which, like the scroll sub-canvases, is now kept across frames and resized in place instead of reallocated when its size changes. Caches. The image texture cache moves from the canvas to the GL context: every canvas and sub-canvas shares one content-keyed LRU (32 MiB), so an overlay or subsurface that is destroyed and recreated finds its images resident. A GLES canvas dropped with an overlay is pooled in `AppData::canvas_pool` and handed to the next overlay, with its compiled programs and glyph atlas, which took 130 to 290 ms to build on that GPU. Subsurface slots keep their scroll and viewport sub-canvases between rasters. Surfaces. A `container.surface()` with shadows costs a Gaussian drop-shadow pass, a fill and one pass per inset shadow, all full-quad fragment shaders; a dozen glass cards were 40 ms of GPU per frame for chrome that never changes. `Canvas::fill_surface` on GLES now renders the chrome once per size, corners and style into a texture held by the context cache (`gles_render/surface_cache.rs`, 16 MiB LRU) and blits it, drawing directly only for surfaces with `PlusLighter` or `Overlay` insets, which depend on the backdrop. Opaque regions. ltk never called `wl_surface.set_opaque_region`, so the compositor blended every ltk surface and repainted everything underneath a full-screen homescreen. A surface whose `background_color` is opaque now declares itself opaque, and the new `App::overlay_opaque_region( id )` lets an overlay declare the physical rects it paints opaque, such as a panel column over an opaque wallpaper. `sync_opaque_region` sends the rects only when they change. Frame pacing. `eglSwapBuffers` blocked 13 to 37 ms per frame waiting for Mesa's own throttle callback; ltk paces itself on `wl_surface.frame`, so `make_current` sets the swap interval to 0. A subsurface move is now applied only when its parent has no frame callback outstanding, and the parent commit that applies it requests the next callback: a drag commits once per vblank with the latest finger position instead of once per input sample, without the app throttling samples itself. While the app reports `subsurface_motion_only`, the main's callback, and the callback of an overlay that hosts a subsurface, no longer force a full repaint; they mark the surface and the reconcile keeps the cadence with a bare commit when nothing moved. Swipe releases arm a settle the same way instead of dirtying every cache. Two hooks, `on_overlay_frame_committed` and `on_subsurface_committed`, let an app hand a panel over between its host and a sliding subsurface on real commits rather than loop ticks. Lines. A diagonal `draw_line` on GLES stamped one `fill_rect` per pixel of length, 190 draw calls for a spinner and over 2000 for a pattern-lock stroke; it is now a single rotated quad through the rect shader, with round caps and antialiased edges. A pixel test covers the scissor viewport, `for_size` gets a downscale test, and `docs/architecture.md`, `docs/widgets.md` and `docs/backends.md` describe the new hook, the viewport paths, the shared caches and the line rasteriser. |

render, types, ci: resolution-time dp with per-canvas density, bounded GLES image cache, clippy gate, backend capability matrix
Length::dp no longer collapses to absolute pixels at construction: the design value travels in a new LengthBase::Dp variant and the density multiplication happens when the length is resolved. Previously dp( n ) baked in whatever density() returned at view-build time, so correctness across output changes depended on the view being rebuilt after set_density and in that order; now a density change is picked up by the very next paint with no reconstruction. Length::resolve keeps its signature (process density), and the new Length::resolve_with_density takes an explicit factor. dp becomes const in the bargain. Density also becomes overridable per canvas, the first step towards surface-local responsive state. SoftwareCanvas and GlesCanvas carry a density: Option<f32> analogous to the layout_viewport introduced for sub-canvas fluid resolution: None means "use the process global", Canvas::set_density pins a local factor, and sub-canvases inherit it. All canvas-routed resolution honours it — geom_px / font_px for stock-widget design pixels, and the new Canvas::resolve_geom / resolve_font for explicit Length values, which every widget now uses in place of the raw l.resolve( canvas.viewport_layout(), EM ) pattern (row, column, wrap_grid, spacer, container, separator, button, text, rich_text, text_edit, list_item, vslider, image, and the container draw path). Overlay sizing keeps resolving against the main surface with the global density, which is what it describes. New tests cover explicit-density resolution, resolution-time application, the local-over-global override and sub-canvas inheritance. The GLES image texture cache is now bounded. It was content-keyed but unbounded and never evicted, so a stream of distinct buffers — a photo carousel, video thumbnails — grew GPU memory for the lifetime of the canvas. The cache now tracks an estimated byte total (RGBA8, w × h × 4) against a 32 MiB budget and evicts least-recently-drawn textures on insert; the most recent entry is never evicted, so a single texture larger than the whole budget still draws and simply owns the cache until replaced. Drop-time cleanup is unchanged: drain deletes whatever the map holds. CI gains a Clippy step (workspace, all targets, test-support, -D warnings) sharing the build cache of the test job, with make clippy mirroring the invocation locally and CONTRIBUTING listing it. Run make clippy locally before pushing the first time — the gate has not seen the tree yet and pre-existing lints will fail CI until addressed. docs/backends.md formalises the software/GLES capability matrix that was previously scattered across per-method rustdoc: parity set (fills, strokes, text, images, paths, path clips), graceful degradations on software (flat-fill gradients, no shadows, no backdrop blur, hard bottom edge), GPU-only features (external textures), the shared Oklab-fallback limitation, and the cross-backend blit panic. Linked from README, onboarding and architecture's known-gaps list, which now states the parity gaps explicitly. The dp/density prose in architecture.md, lib.rs and the Length rustdoc is updated for resolution-time semantics and the per-canvas override. |
