iris: stop requesting compute-shader limits nothing uses

adapter.request_device asked for Limits::default(), which requests
desktop-tier compute-shader limits unconditionally even though nothing in
iris/iris-core creates a ComputePipeline or writes a @compute stage. That
crashed device creation outright on a downlevel GL adapter reporting
OpenGL ES 3.0 (no compute at all) -- the Android emulator's
EMU_GPU=software/force-gles path, and any real GLES-3.0-only device.

New iris_core::device_limits(), shared by both platform backends, zeros
exactly the six max_compute_* fields rather than switching to a downlevel
Limits preset -- downlevel_webgl2_defaults() also zeros
max_storage_buffers_per_shader_stage, which shader.wgsl's vertex stage
needs. rigs/gpu-probe's own mirrored limits were updated to match.

Not verified against the actual SwiftShader-ES-3.0 crash on-device this
pass: the cold boot needed would have force-restarted this checkout's
emulator while another session had its own app running on it.

+# The P0 benchmark fixture
+
+`transcript.jsonl` is a synthetic transcript in the app's own event model (the JSON lines
+`GET /sessions/{id}/transcript` returns; see `Events.kt`'s `parseSeqEvent` and
+`server/src/session/driver.rs`) -- never a real one. It is what both the Compose `bench` build
+and iris's bench build open with no server, so the two apps draw exactly the same content and a
+frame-time comparison is measuring the renderer rather than the data.
+
+Generated by `./generate.py` (Python stdlib only, seeded -- `SEED = 20260905` -- so re-running it
+reproduces the same file byte for byte). It writes into `assets/` -- a separate directory from this
+script and README, because the Compose `bench` build type points its own asset source set straight
+at `assets/` (`app/androidApp/build.gradle.kts`'s `sourceSets { getByName("bench") }`), and a Python
+script and a markdown file have no business inside an APK:
+
+- `transcript.jsonl` -- 3,601 events. The first 3,200 (`BACKLOG_COUNT`) are the scrolled-back
+  history the benchmark opens with: user turns, tool calls with kilobyte-scale input/output,
+  assistant replies built from headings, bold/italic/inline code, a link, fenced code blocks that
+  rotate through rust/kotlin/python/sh/json/toml, a markdown table, two embedded images, and
+  periodic `usageDelta`/`compacted` events. The remaining 400 (`STREAM_COUNT`) are not part of the
+  opening window -- both bench harnesses replay them at a fixed rate (20/s) through the same live
+  fold path a real SSE reply arrives on, which is P0's "streaming phase."
+- `bench1.png`, `bench2.png` -- tiny (8x8) flat-colour PNGs, base64-free on disk but served the
+  same way a real attachment is (`GET /sessions/{id}/files/{name}`), referenced by the two
+  `"type":"image"` events in the transcript.
+
+Regenerate after changing the shape (a new event type, a different backlog/stream split) with
+`./generate.py`, and commit the result -- it is checked in rather than generated at build time so
+both apps' bench builds embed the identical bytes without needing this script at build time.

+Deterministic (fixed seed), so a Compose bench APK and an iris bench APK draw byte-identical

+Never a real transcript -- see AGENTS.md's ui-sandbox.sh, which this borrows its vocabulary
+style from (headings, code fences, a table, a link) rather than reusing its Claude-Code JSONL
+shape. This file's shape is the *app's own event model* instead: one JSON object per line,

+# Decisions taken for Iris to review
+
+Short list of design choices made by the design agent without asking, so
+they can be judged and reversed later. Detail lives in RUST.md (and IRIS.md
+for iris API changes); this file is only the summary. Newest first. Items
+marked **DEFERRED** are ones the agent chose not to decide alone.
+
+## 2026-09-05
+
+- **iris no longer asks every device for compute-shader limits it never
+  uses.** `adapter.request_device` (both `iris/src/android/render.rs` and
+  `iris/src/default/render.rs`) used `Limits::default()` plus an override
+  for `max_buffer_size`, and `Limits::default()` unconditionally requests
+  desktop-tier compute limits (`max_compute_workgroups_per_dimension:
+  65535`, per `wgpu_types`) even though nothing in `iris`/`iris-core`
+  creates a `ComputePipeline` or writes a `@compute` shader stage —
+  confirmed by grepping the whole tree, not assumed. That crashed
+  `request_device` outright on the Android emulator's software GL path
+  (`EMU_GPU=software`, `--features force-gles`): SwiftShader's GL reports
+  itself as OpenGL ES 3.0, which has no compute shaders at all, so the
+  adapter's real limit is 0 against the unconditional request for 65535 —
+  `RUST.md`'s "Software mode ... crashes for a third, different reason,"
+  2026-09-05, earlier today. The same would happen on any real
+  GLES-3.0-only Android device, not just the emulator. Fixed by a new
+  `iris_core::device_limits()` (`iris/core/src/render/mod.rs`), shared by
+  both platform backends so the two requests cannot drift, that zeros the
+  six `max_compute_*` fields explicitly rather than switching to a
+  downlevel `Limits` preset — `Limits::downlevel_webgl2_defaults()` was
+  considered and rejected: it also zeros
+  `max_storage_buffers_per_shader_stage`, and `shader.wgsl`'s vertex stage
+  reads four `var<storage>` buffers (rects, glyphs, masks, move_offsets),
+  so that preset would trade the compute crash for a bind-group-layout
+  one on the same downlevel hardware this is meant to support. No
+  capability check or fallback path was needed since nothing is being
+  disabled — the request is simply narrowed to what the pipeline actually
+  uses. `rigs/gpu-probe`'s own mirrored limits (it is deliberately its own
+  crate, not a workspace member, so it cannot call `device_limits()`
+  directly) were updated to match, and confirm `IRIS DEVICE: ok` against
+  this VM's own Vulkan and GL adapters. **Not verified this pass**: the
+  specific SwiftShader-ES-3.0 crash this fixes, on-device — the
+  `EMU_GPU=software` cold boot this needs would have force-restarted this
+  checkout's emulator while another session was actively running its own
+  app on it (`com.example.aiapp` had window focus at the time), so it was
+  left for a pass when the emulator is free rather than disrupting that
+  session. Everything reachable without the emulator is clean: `cargo
+  fmt`/`clippy --workspace --all-targets`/`test --workspace`, `cargo ndk
+  build`/`clippy` for `iris-android-app` with `force-gles`, and
+  `gpu-probe` against this VM's own Vulkan and GL(ES 3.2, which still has
+  compute and so would not have reproduced the crash even before this
+  fix — not a substitute for the real ES-3.0 test).
+
+- **P0's Compose half is built and smoke-tested on the emulator** — the
+  `bench` build type, the shared `app/bench-fixture/` transcript, and an
+  in-process fake backend (`BenchFixture.kt`/`BenchNetwork.kt`) that
+  answers `TranscriptSource`/`EventStream` from an in-memory event log
+  instead of a real server, so the fold and paging under test are the real
+  ones. Full account, the smoke run's report, and what is deliberately
+  left (the iris half, the real on-phone runs) are in RUST.md's P0 box.
+  Not a decision to review so much as the gate itself now being runnable —
+  flagged here because it is the first half of something Iris explicitly
+  asked to see before P1.
+
+- **The intermittent touch-scroll dropout is root-caused and fixed: a
+  missed `ACTION_DOWN` hit-test, not the previously-suspected coalesced
+  first `ACTION_MOVE`.** Diagnosed by temporary logcat tracing of every
+  touch event, `DragArbiter` state transition and `Selection::drag`
+  dispatch (removed once confirmed), reproduced on this checkout's own
+  emulator against a real sandbox session. The trace showed the actual
+  mechanism: a gesture's `ACTION_DOWN` lands wherever the finger actually
+  is, which is not guaranteed to fall inside the same row-local sensor
+  region a later `ACTION_MOVE` in the same gesture lands in (a row's own
+  padding/gap, or its non-selectable sender-name header, is
+  pointer-transparent to `iris::sense::CursorSense`). When that happens,
+  the widget that ends up handling the gesture never saw `PressStart`, so
+  `DragArbiter` sits in `Idle` — which answers every subsequent frame with
+  `Undecided` and has no way to tell "no press is happening" from "a press
+  is happening but I missed its start," so it never recovers on its own
+  for the rest of that gesture. One real trace showed exactly this: touch
+  `Down`/`Move`/`Up` all delivered correctly, but zero `PressStart`
+  reaching the arbiter, `state=Idle` unchanged from first frame to last.
+  Fixed at the call site that has the context to recover
+  (`iris::transcript_ui::selection::Selection::drag`,
+  `iris/transcript-ui/src/selection.rs`): a new `DragArbiter::is_idle()`
+  (`iris/src/sense.rs`) lets it notice a `Pressing` frame arriving with the
+  arbiter still `Idle` — which can only mean a missed `PressStart`, since a
+  `Pressing` sense requires the button to genuinely be down — and start the
+  press there instead of where it was missed. Three new unit tests in
+  `sense.rs`'s `drag_arbiter_tests` and one in `transcript-ui`'s
+  `selection::tests` (the latter fails on the code before this fix).
+  Commit follows. Not the same failure the earlier pass's `DECISIONS.md`
+  DEFERRED item speculated about (a coalesced first `ACTION_MOVE` skipping
+  slop detection) — that hypothesis is now ruled out; the arbiter's own
+  slop/long-press logic was never wrong. RUST.md's I5 box,
+  "Touch-scroll dropout root-caused, 2026-09-05" has the full trace.
+- **P0, a phone benchmark gate before any porting, asked for by Iris
+  2026-09-05**: "before P1 I'd like to see benchmarks & also maybe stress
+  test on my own phone ... If it doesn't match compose reasonably well then
+  I don't think I'd wanna continue." Design (RUST.md's P0 box has the
+  detail): the same embedded synthetic fixture in both apps with no server
+  needed; the same scripted scroll loop then a streaming phase, run
+  programmatically since the phone has no usable system tracing and no
+  agent can drive it; the same report from both (frames, janky %, p50/p90/
+  p99, process CPU time, peak RSS, battery current where readable) with a
+  copy button; the iris app under its own id and the Compose one as a new
+  `bench` build type with an id suffix, so neither replaces her production
+  install; two arm64 APKs plus instructions delivered under `~/host/bench/`.
+  The gate is hers: iris within a reasonable margin of Compose release on
+  p50, p99 and CPU time, no crashes, no visible stutter. If it fails, the
+  port stops.
+- **The rest of the port is one UI crate, `iris/app-ui`, grown out of
+  `iris/transcript-ui` rather than started beside it.** It holds a
+  `Screen` enum plus a back stack — the Rust equivalent of `AppRoot.kt`'s
+  `when` — and `iris/desktop-app`/`iris/android-app` become thin entry
+  points over it. Chosen over a fresh crate because `transcript-ui`
+  already has the right generic shape (`Rsc: HasEvents` +
+  `Rsc::State: FocusHost`) and the `client-core`/`event-model` path
+  dependencies every later screen needs, so growing it in place is the
+  smaller diff. Platform-only code (notification service, share target,
+  QR scanner, Keystore token, deep-link enrolment) stays in the E3/E5
+  Java shell (`android-shell/` + `app/shellApp`) rather than moving into
+  this crate, since none of it is a screen. The Android APK is built by
+  `cargo xtask apk` (E5), merging the app-ui cdylib into the E3 shell so
+  there is one app rather than a demo shell plus a service shell.
+  `app/androidApp` (the Compose app) stays untouched and is the baseline
+  every step is measured against, until parity is reached (P7 decides
+  the switch, and is itself a load-bearing decision left to Iris). Order
+  is by risk to the daily-use path: session screen first (P1, where
+  every hard behaviour already lives), then the shell merge and a real
+  phone install (P2), then root tabs (P3), the explorer (P4),
+  settings/enrolment (P5), desktop parity (P6), and the cutover itself
+  (P7). Full plan: RUST.md's "The port, in order (decided 2026-09-05)".
+- **iris gets its own measured frame report, rather than waiting on a
+  `dumpsys`/`gfxinfo` answer that cannot see a `SurfaceView`'s GPU-drawn
+  frames.** `iris_core::FrameReport` (`iris/core/src/render/frame_report.rs`)
+  times each frame's wall clock from the same point `render()`'s redraw
+  starts to just after `queue.submit` + `present()` — the span Compose's
+  own render report and `gfxinfo` both count — into a fixed 4096-entry
+  ring (no allocation per frame; `report()` is the only place that
+  allocates, and only on a button tap). The report gives total frames,
+  janky % over the same 16.7ms budget `gfxinfo` uses, P50/P90/P99 and the
+  worst, plus a reset. Exposed the way the Compose app's copy-button
+  report already is: two named controls ("Frame report", "Reset frame
+  report") on the transcript screen, tappable by accessibility name via
+  `ui-trace`, logging under this crate's fixed `android_logger` tag
+  (`iris-android-app`) so a script can grep `"iris frame report"` the way
+  `transcript-bench.sh` greps `"ai-app render report"`. The report's own
+  `Display` line says plainly that it measures up to the `present()` call
+  returning, not GPU/compositor completion — wgpu's `present()` is not
+  fenced against either, so presenting that span as "time to reach the
+  screen" would be a measured-looking number that is actually inferred,
+  which the standing UI rule forbids.
+- **`ui-trace` gains a hold-then-drag gesture, additive, in
+  `emulator-tools`.** Neither of its two existing actions can produce
+  "hold stationary for `LONG_PRESS`, then move without lifting" — `tap`
+  has no hold and `swipe X1 Y1 X2 Y2 MS` interpolates motion across its
+  whole duration from t=0. A new action presses, waits, then moves to a
+  second point and releases as one continuous touch (raw
+  `sendevent`/`MotionEvent` injection, extending whatever mechanism the
+  existing `swipe` already uses), so `DragArbiter`'s pan-vs-select rule
+  (`iris/src/sense.rs`, already covered by 8 unit tests against a
+  synthetic clock) can finally be driven on a real device instead of only
+  in a test harness.
+- **Touch drag on a transcript row follows Android's own rule**: a vertical
+  drag pans the list immediately; a stationary press held 500 ms starts a
+  text selection which further dragging extends; a horizontal drag while
+  something is already selected extends that selection without the wait.
+  One `DragArbiter` per list decides it (`iris/src/sense.rs`). Chosen over a
+  "text layer always wins" or "list always wins" rule because either loses
+  one of the two gestures a reader expects.
+- **E4's desktop shape is a new `iris/desktop-app` crate**: a winit window
+  holding `transcript-ui`'s screen beside a session list, talking to a real
+  `ai-server` through `client-core`. It enrols by pasting the same
+  `aiapp://enroll?…` link a phone scans (`client-core::config::EnrolledServer`)
+  and keeps it owner-only under `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ai-app-desktop/`. The
+  pinned CA is a path given on the command line, not baked in. Chosen so
+  the phone and desktop share one enrolment format and no second one is
+  invented.
+- **I5's Android integration extends `iris-android-app` (I2's shell)
+  behind a Cargo feature (`transcript-screen`), rather than a third
+  shell crate.** That project already has the Gradle module, the
+  `IrisView`/`MainActivity` Java, and the JNI registration; the only
+  thing a second screen needs on top is a different `AndroidAppState`,
+  the same axis `tabs_ui::build`/`transcript_ui::build` already vary
+  along on the winit side. `tabs-screen`/`transcript-screen` are
+  mutually exclusive and each pulls in only its own deps, so the plain
+  tabs build (I2/I4) is untouched.
+- **Order of remaining work, updated 2026-09-05**: the two in-flight
+  pieces and I5's Android integration are all done; next is giving iris
+  its own frame-timing report so item 3 below can be decided by a number.
+- **DECIDED by Iris, 2026-09-05: iris is the app's framework; Masonry was
+  the calibration.** Her words: "I think iris definitely makes more sense
+  based on the limitations we've found." The limitations: Masonry has no
+  touch scroll on Android (E2), no per-span rich text and no cross-row
+  selection on the pinned commit (E2), and its keyboard bridge is a TODO
+  (E1); iris carries the same screen under the Compose baseline on the
+  host GPU (p50 15.0 ms against Compose's 20.0 ms, RUST.md's I5 box). What
+  follows: the E-steps are closed as calibration, and the port proceeds
+  on iris — screens, the shell (E3/E5), and `client-core` underneath.
+  The item below is kept as the record of what she decided from.
+- **Was DEFERRED — whether to commit to iris over Masonry for `ai-app`.**
+  Updated 2026-09-05 with the clean comparison the recommendation wanted:
+  same sandbox session content, same emulator, `EMU_GPU=software`, one
+  session. Headline numbers (RUST.md's I5 box, "Clean scroll comparison,
+  2026-09-05," has the full table and every caveat):
+
+  | app | build | frames | janky % | p50 | p90 | p99 | worst |
+  |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+  | Compose (in-app report) | debug | 1102 | 99.0% late | 33.8ms | 50.6ms | 79.5ms | -- |
+  | Compose (`dumpsys gfxinfo`) | debug | 1499 | 21.15% (95.66% legacy) | 32ms | 48ms | 150ms (p99) | -- |
+  | iris (`FrameReport`) | **release** | 299 | 94.65% | 79.1ms | 98.6ms | 117.8ms | 212.6ms |
+  | iris (`FrameReport`, repeat) | **release** | 233 | 94.42% | 109.3ms | 130.8ms | 147.1ms | 150.5ms |
+
+  **Not a clean apples-to-apples reading, stated plainly rather than
+  smoothed over**: iris had to be built **release** (debug `SIGSEGV`s on
+  this emulator's Vulkan loader, I4's finding) against Compose's mandated
+  **debug** build, so this asymmetry likely *understates* iris's gap
+  rather than the reverse; the three frame-time sources measure different
+  things (Compose's own phase accounting vs. Android's HWUI deadline-miss
+  definition vs. iris's redraw-start-to-present window, the last of which
+  `dumpsys gfxinfo` cannot see at all for iris's `SurfaceView`); and both
+  figures are emulator numbers under software rasterisation, which
+  Compose's *own* in-app report shows already costs 20-34ms/frame in
+  `swap`+`gpu` alone under this GPU mode, so a same-mode iris number well
+  above 16.7ms was expected going in for either app. A second pair under
+  `-gpu host` was not taken this pass. The earlier session's suspected
+  intermittent touch-delivery dropout was **not reproduced** this pass —
+  the zero-frame results this time traced to this pass's own script bug
+  (a `cd` that changed which emulator `ui-trace` targeted), not the
+  emulator; a CPU-load rise during the gesture was observed by a sampler
+  running throughout, but did not correlate with any failure, so the
+  original candidate is neither confirmed nor ruled out.
+  The choice in front of Iris, updated: decide now on the
+  structural-plus-functional case already made (iris works end-to-end
+  where Masonry's scroll gesture doesn't exist at all on Android) plus
+  this table — reading the two build profiles and three jank definitions
+  with the caveats above rather than as a single number — or ask for a
+  same-profile, same-GPU-mode rerun first. RUST.md's I5 box has the full
+  account.
+
+  **Updated 2026-09-05, the `-gpu host` pair taken.** Real GPU rendering
+  (`force-gles` -- the default Vulkan backend has no adapter at all under
+  plain host-GPU boot, confirmed by the exact `wgpu` error) reverses the
+  software-mode shape:
+
+  | app | build | GPU mode | frames | janky % | p50 | p90 | p99 | worst | cpu p50 | gpu-wait p50 |
+  |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+  | Compose (in-app report) | debug | host (virgl) | 1268 | 96.4% late | 20.0ms | 28.4ms | 37.7ms | -- | -- | -- |
+  | iris (`FrameReport`) | **release**, `force-gles` | host (virgl) | 62 | 41.94% | 15.0ms | 21.8ms | 37.1ms | 37.1ms | 0.2ms | 12.9ms |
+
+  Under real GPU rendering iris's median frame is *faster* than
+  Compose's, not the 2-3x-slower shape the software-mode table shows. A
+  new split inside `FrameReport` (redraw-to-submit vs. submit-to-present,
+  commit `e2a1fad`) says why: iris's own CPU work per frame is a median
+  0.2ms -- almost the entire frame is time spent handing the frame to the
+  driver, not in iris's layout/text/primitive code. This is consistent
+  with the earlier software-mode gap being mostly SwiftShader's CPU
+  rasterisation cost rather than an iris-specific slowness, but is not
+  proof of it: a same-mode software `force-gles` run to isolate the
+  backend crashed for an unrelated reason (SwiftShader's GL path reports
+  itself as OpenGL ES 3.0, which has no compute shaders, and iris's device
+  request assumes them unconditionally) — real scope to fix, not done
+  here — and the two apps' frame populations still differ in kind the same
+  way the software-mode caveats describe. A real intermittent touch-
+  scroll dropout was also reproduced this pass (six consecutive swipes
+  produced zero redraws while taps kept working; an identical retry then
+  succeeded) and is not explained. RUST.md's I5 box, "Where iris's frame
+  time goes, 2026-09-05, the `-gpu host` pass," has the full account. The
+  iris-vs-Masonry choice itself is still Iris's to make.

+## 2026-09-05 (later still): `iris_core::device_limits()`, and iris no longer requests compute-shader limits
+
+New public function, `iris_core::device_limits() -> wgpu::Limits`. Why:
+`adapter.request_device`'s `required_limits` was `Limits::default()` plus
+a `max_buffer_size` override in both platform backends, and
+`Limits::default()` requests desktop-tier compute-shader limits
+unconditionally (`max_compute_workgroups_per_dimension: 65535`) even
+though nothing in `iris`/`iris-core` uses a `ComputePipeline` — that
+crashed device creation outright on a downlevel GL adapter reporting
+OpenGL ES 3.0 (no compute shaders at all: the Android emulator's
+`EMU_GPU=software` path, and any real GLES-3.0-only Android device).
+`device_limits()` is what both `android::render::AndroidRenderer::new`
+and `default::render::UiRenderer::new` now build their `required_limits`
+from, so the request cannot drift between the two backends.
+
+Before: `Limits { max_buffer_size: 1 << 30, ..Default::default() }`
+inlined in each backend. After: `iris_core::device_limits()`, which is
+the same thing with the six `max_compute_*` fields additionally zeroed.
+A caller building its own `DeviceDescriptor` outside these two backends
+(there are none today, but a third platform backend would want this)
+should call `device_limits()` rather than reaching for
+`Limits::default()` directly, unless it genuinely adds a compute pass —
+in which case it wants the specific compute limits that pass needs, not
+the desktop-tier default for everything.
+
+## 2026-09-05 (later the same day): `iris_core::FrameReport` (RUST.md's I5 box)
+
+New public type, `iris_core::FrameReport` (re-exported from `iris_core`'s
+`render` module alongside `FrameStats` and `JANK_THRESHOLD`). Why: `dumpsys
+gfxinfo` cannot see a `SurfaceView`'s own GPU-drawn frames at all, so a
+`wgpu`-rendered iris screen had no way to ask "was this smooth" the way
+Compose's own in-app render report already can -- item 3 of RUST.md's
+recommendation was stuck on a one-sided number for exactly this reason.
+
+`FrameReport::record(elapsed: Duration)` is called once per frame (wired
+into `android/view.rs`'s `render()`, wrapping the same span from redraw
+start to after `queue.submit`+`present()` that Compose's report and
+`gfxinfo` both count) and writes into a fixed 4096-entry ring -- no
+allocation on the hot path. `FrameReport::report() -> Option<FrameStats>`
+gives total frames, janky % (over `JANK_THRESHOLD`, the same 16.7ms 60Hz
+budget `gfxinfo` uses), P50/P90/P99 and the worst; `None` if nothing has
+been recorded since the last `reset()`, not a zeroed report that would
+read as a real measurement. `FrameStats`'s `Display` line says plainly
+that it measures up to `present()` being called, not GPU/compositor
+completion, since wgpu's `present()` isn't fenced against either.
+
+`AndroidUiState` gained a `pub frame_report: FrameReport` field --
+anything with `HasAndroidUiState` can now read or reset it. Before this,
+there was no way to ask iris's own render path how long a frame took at
+all, on any backend.
+
+Before/after, for a caller that already has `ui_state: &AndroidUiState`:
+
+```rust
+// before: no such question could be asked
+// after:
+match ui_state.frame_report.report() {
+    Some(stats) => log::info!("iris frame report: {stats}"),
+    None => log::info!("iris frame report: no frames recorded yet"),
+}
+ui_state.frame_report.reset(); // via android_state_mut()
+```
+
+`iris-android-app`'s transcript screen exposes this as two named,
+tappable controls ("Frame report", "Reset frame report") rather than
+requiring a caller to wire its own UI -- see `transcript_client.rs`'s
+`frame_report_controls`.
+
+## 2026-09-05: `Tasks::redraw_handle` (RUST.md's I5 Android integration)
+
+New public method on `iris::task::Tasks`, `redraw_handle(&self) ->
+Arc<dyn RequestRedraw>`. Why: a caller running its own long-lived loop
+*inside* one spawned task (a live SSE follow, the Android transcript
+client's `select_session`) has no other way to ask for a frame after each
+`TaskCtx::update` -- `Tasks::spawn`'s own wrapper only requests one, after
+the whole async closure finishes, which fits a single request-then-update
+but not a stream that needs to be seen redrawing after *each* event. This
+is the same gap `iris/desktop-app`'s module doc names for why it uses
+winit's `Proxy<AppEvent>` instead of `Tasks` -- android-view has no
+`Proxy`, so this is what closes it there.
+
+**A real bug this uncovered, not a hypothetical**: calling the returned
+handle's `request_redraw()` from the background thread crashed the process
+(`SIGABRT`, `Result::unwrap() on an Err value: JavaException`) the first
+time an Android transcript fetch called it a second time. `android/render.rs`'s
+`AndroidRedrawHandle` was already attaching the calling thread to the JVM
+correctly, but its `request_redraw` called `View::post_frame_callback`,
+whose Java side calls `Choreographer.getInstance()` -- which throws unless
+the *calling* thread already has a `Looper`, and a tokio worker thread,
+even freshly JNI-attached, has none. Fixed by routing through
+`View::post_delayed(0)` instead (Android's own thread-safe "queue work onto

+### 2026-09-05, later: `DragArbiter::is_idle()`, recovering a missed `press_start`
+
+Follow-up to the above, from a real touch-scroll dropout: a gesture's
+`ACTION_DOWN` can land on a caller's own dead space (a row's padding, a
+gap, a header with no handler) that never calls `press_start`, so the
+first frame the arbiter actually sees is a `Pressing`-shaped `update`
+with no matching start. Before this, `update`'s `Idle` arm had no way to
+tell that apart from "nothing is happening" and answered `Undecided`
+forever for the rest of that gesture. `is_idle(&self) -> bool` lets a
+caller notice the gap and recover: if `is_idle()` is true on a frame the
+caller knows a press is genuinely down (its own `Pressing`/equivalent
+sense fired), call `press_start` right there instead of assuming one
+already happened. `transcript-ui`'s `Selection::drag` is the reference
+caller — one new match arm, checked before the ordinary `update`-only
+case. Any other `DragArbiter` caller with the same "one sensor per
+sub-region, no fallback for dead space" shape has the same gap and wants

+`FrameStats` gains two fields, and `FrameReport` gains a second recording

+with a number instead of a guess (RUST.md's I5 box).
+
+- **`FrameReport::record_split(total, submit_to_present)`** is a second way
+  to record a frame, alongside the existing `record(total)` (unchanged,
+  and still what a caller with no split should use — it now reads as
+  `cpu_p50 == total`, `gpu_wait_p50 == 0`, rather than fabricating a
+  number for a half it never measured).
+- **`FrameStats` gains `cpu_p50` and `gpu_wait_p50`**: medians of
+  redraw-start-to-submit and submit-to-after-`present()` respectively,
+  independent of each other and of the existing `p50`/`p90`/`p99`/`worst`
+  (which are unchanged, and still over the whole frame). The Android
+  renderer's `draw()` now returns the `submit_to_present` `Duration` it
+  measured, which `android::view::render()` passes to `record_split`.
+- **Caveat carried in both doc comments**: `submit_to_present` is not
+  fenced against the GPU actually finishing — it is "how long the CPU was
+  blocked handing the frame to the driver," not a confirmed GPU-completion
+  time. Enough to separate "iris is slow building the frame" from "iris is

 ## Fix

+  and `iris/src/default/render.rs`) requests desktop-tier compute limits
+  unconditionally, even though nothing in `iris`/`iris-core` creates a
+  `ComputePipeline` or writes a `@compute` shader stage — confirmed by
+  grepping the whole tree, not assumed. That crashed device creation
+  outright on the Android emulator's software GL path (`EMU_GPU=software`,
+  `--features force-gles`): SwiftShader's GL reports itself as OpenGL ES
+  3.0, which has no compute shaders, so the adapter's real limit is 0
+  against the unconditional request for 65535 — the same would happen on
+  any real GLES-3.0-only Android device. Fixed by a new, shared
+  `iris_core::device_limits()` (`iris/core/src/render/mod.rs`) that zeros
+  exactly the six `max_compute_*` fields rather than switching to a
+  downlevel `Limits` preset — `downlevel_webgl2_defaults()` also zeros
+  `max_storage_buffers_per_shader_stage`, which `shader.wgsl`'s vertex
+  stage needs (four `var<storage>` buffers), so that preset would trade
+  this crash for a bind-group-layout one on the same hardware.

+//! RUST.md's I5 Android integration: `transcript-ui`'s screen filling the
+//! whole window on android-view, against a real `ai-server` through
+//! `client-core` -- the missing half `iris-android-app` (I2) only had for
+//! `tabs-ui` until now. Behind the `transcript-screen` Cargo feature so the
+//! plain build (`cargo ndk build`, no `--features`) stays exactly the tabs
+//! demo I2/I4 already measured against.
+//!
+//! **Deliberate simplification, recorded rather than left to be
+//! rediscovered (RUST.md's I5 box has the full account)**: there is no
+//! session list and no enrollment UI here. The server, port, token and
+//! pinned CA are baked in at build time (`build.rs`'s
+//! `AI_APP_TRANSCRIPT_HOST`/`_PORT`/`_TOKEN`/`AI_APP_CA`), and the first
+//! session `ApiClient::fetch_sessions` returns is opened automatically --
+//! there is nothing to tap to get there, which is what `transcript-bench.sh`
+//! and `ui-trace` need to land straight on the screen under test. A real
+//! app needs `desktop-app`'s `EnrolledServer`/QR-link flow or E3's
+//! Keystore-sealed `ServerConfig.kt`; building a second one of those was
+//! not this pass's job.
+//!
+//! **Reuses `iris/desktop-app`'s `app.rs` shape almost exactly** --
+//! `fold_event`/`group_tool_runs`/`fold_page`/`raw_seq` from
+//! `client_core::transcript_fold`, a `generation` counter guarding against
+//! a stale background response, and a full rebuild of the widget tree on
+//! every event (same tradeoff, same reason: `push_row` cannot update a row
+//! already on screen, and this rig's conversations are small). What
+//! differs is only the redraw mechanism: android-view has no
+//! `winit::EventLoopProxy`, so this uses `iris::task::Tasks::redraw_handle`
+//! (new, added alongside this box) to request a frame after each
+//! `TaskCtx::update` instead of relying on `Tasks::spawn`'s single
+//! end-of-future redraw -- see that method's own doc for why.
