# iris: known problems and things still to build
Only open Iris framework work lives here. Delete an item when it lands.
## Fix
- [ ] **Colours are not in a defined colour space. Fix this before a
styling pass.** Both render backends prefer an sRGB surface
(`default/render.rs` and `android/render.rs`), while `fs_main` returns
`unpack4x8unorm` palette and image bytes unchanged. An sRGB attachment
treats those values as linear and encodes them again: Mocha Crust
(17,17,27) became (73,73,91) in a desktop screenshot measured on
2026-09-06.
Neither diagnostics nor startup logging records Android's selected surface
format. A device exposing only a non-sRGB surface can hide the shared bug.
Done means defining one convention for palette bytes, decoded images,
colour emoji and the clear colour, then converting exactly once for the
selected target. Record the selected format in diagnostics, and add a GPU
test that draws known non-black, non-white pixels into an sRGB target and
reads the stored bytes back; screenshots from desktop and Android then
confirm the same Catppuccin values rather than serving as the definition.
## Build (for the port)
Framework capabilities needed by `RUST.md`'s port plan:
- [ ] **Selectable, read-only text.** P0's report and P1's transcript rows
use `TextEdit` because `Selectable` is implemented only for it. That
makes prose focusable and opens the IME over text that cannot be edited.
A display widget needs the same selection geometry and clipboard path
without a text-input accessibility role or keyboard focus.
- [ ] **Overflow ellipsis with an explicit retained end.** `TextAttrs` can
only wrap or clip, so a tool summary is cut with no mark. Parley has no
ellipsis primitive; use its line breaker to find the cut, but keep source
and displayed strings distinct with one byte mapping shared by spans,
links, selection and editing. Replace `wrap: bool` with an enum that can
say wrap, clip, head ellipsis and tail ellipsis—the caller must choose
because a command is identified by its head and a path by its tail.
- [ ] **Expose the distance from a `LazySpan` viewport to its unloaded
edge.** (**P1**.) `viewport_len` and the visible extents are already
measured internally, but a paging caller cannot ask whether it is within
the Compose app's six-viewport `HISTORY_SCREENS` cushion. The API should
answer in pixels or viewport multiples, never rows: a row ranges from one
line to a screen, so a fixed row count is not a distance.
- [ ] **Let an image fit a bounded box while preserving its aspect ratio.**
(**P1**.) `Image` currently always reports and draws the decoded texture's
natural pixel size. Decoding and fetching a server-produced attachment
belong in `app-rust`; iris only owes the generic fit/scale widget used to
draw its thumbnail.
- [ ] **Per-range backgrounds for rich text.** (**P1**.) Inline code is
already monospace and coloured, but matching Compose's chip also needs
the glyph run's boxes so a surface can be drawn behind exactly that byte
range. `TextEdit` already computes the same geometry internally for its
selection highlight; expose one shared primitive rather than giving the
app a second text-layout path.
- [ ] **A modal/dialog primitive.** (**P1**, reused by **P3** and
**P5**.) Needed for the session settings dialog, `UsageDialog`'s
equivalent, and the delete-with-`deleteForeign` confirmation with its
toggle switch. Build once, wherever it is first needed, rather than
once per screen that wants one.
- [ ] **A horizontal gauge/bar widget.** (**P1**.) For
`SessionUsageBar`'s equivalent — a bounded fill reflecting a fraction,
nothing fancier.
- [ ] **A toggle switch.** (**P3**.) For the delete dialog's
`deleteForeign` control; iris has no switch/checkbox widget yet as far
as this pass found.
## Later
- [ ] **Property/content animations.** Cosmetic, so after correctness and
parity. Keep them modular, like input; scrolling already animates through
`Widget::tick` and `UiData::animate`. A widget that does not opt in must
pay nothing and import nothing for them.
- [ ] **Remove `WidgetView` unless a real composite adopts it.** Every
composite in `app-rust/src/ui` uses ordinary child handles plus a root;
`WidgetView` and its derive are used only by `iris/examples/view.rs`.
It currently demonstrates itself rather than shortening production code.
- [ ] **A `Stack` that chooses its mask the way it chooses its size
should replace `masked_by`.** For a square-cornered surface,
`.background(rect(BAR_FILL)).masked()` was measured
against `.masked_by(rect(BAR_FILL))` on the composer at the phone's own
size and density and the two are identical to the pixel. What the pair
cannot express is a clip that is not a box: `Painter::set_mask` writes
a `RectPrimitive::color(Color::NONE)` at the widget's own region, with
no radius, so `.background(rect(fill).radius(r)).masked()` draws a
rounded panel and then cuts its content square. Both other call sites
(`row.rs`'s fence, `tool.rs`'s raw output) are rounded, which is why
the method stands for now.
Let `Stack` name the mask child the way `StackSize::Child(n)` names the
sizing child. Then `.background(x)` remains the one way to add a surface
and clipping to it is a stack property; the named mask child must have
drawn before any child that uses it. Once that exists, delete
`masked_by` and `Masked::shape` rather than retaining two APIs.
