E1 is part-done: the Masonry demo builds with cargo-ndk and Gradle and
renders, and ui-trace reads its AccessKit tree, so the bench rig's
tap-by-name would work against a Masonry screen. The keyboard half -- the
condition the whole framework decision turns on -- was not reached, so the
box stays open. Also records that two variables changed at once between the
crashing and working runs, so neither can be credited yet.
The vsync comment claimed a redraw burst here lands on the host's desktop.
That was my attribution for a freeze which turned out not to be mine, and
it is machine-specific reasoning that has no business in a library's
source. The battery argument is the whole reason and stands on its own.

E0 is done (NDK r29, cargo-ndk 4.1.2, verified by cross-compiling to both
ABIs) and I0b is done. Corrects this file's guess at why iris would not
build, notes the const-traits family as the gates to re-read whenever the
pin is advanced, and records the cold build weight against the "slow in
debug" worry: 43s and 2.1 GB plain, 1m46s and 1.5 GB with dependencies at
opt-level 2.
Also records an open defect found on the way -- iris sometimes keeps its
pre-configure window size for good -- with what was ruled out, since it
is timing-sensitive enough that any added print hides it, and I2 will
meet it on every rotation.

Iris's decision: it lives in this repository for now, included by path,
with its history left in the iris/iris repository on the gitea remote
(this is its main at 7b54aaf, byte-identical to the public GitHub copy).
It gets its own repository back once it has proved itself here.
RUST.md's I0 records the decision and what the first build said: the
tree does not compile on the current nightly because const_trait_impl
now requires traits to be declared 'const trait', which is the first
item of I0b.

Research and measurements from 2026-09-04: what the Compose app has to
reproduce, why Android text input and rich selectable text decide the
framework, the options considered (Masonry as the yardstick, iris as the
in-house library to build up; Slint, iced, egui, Makepad rejected with
reasons), how thin the Java shell can be, building the APK without
Gradle, and the ordered experiments with pass conditions. Includes the
emulator Vulkan findings: Venus is blocked by this emulator's gfxstream,
SwiftShader over the emulator's own ICD works.
