The bench APK panicked on frame 1 on the emulator:
iris panic at iris/core/src/render/texture.rs:461:22:
texture slot 89 is not a live standalone image: None
widget::mark called Textures::add per widget, so a folded card per tool
call meant a standalone image, a bind group and a draw call each --
hundreds of copies of three pictures. Textures::reset, which the Android
surface-rebuild path calls for a genuinely new renderer, then threw the
slot numbering away with the pixels, leaving every one of those live
handles naming a slot nothing recognised. Its doc had said the only
standalone image in the workspace was tabs-ui's, "confirmed by grep" --
true when written, false the moment mark existed.
Textures::reupload replaces reset: queue every slot for upload again in
slot order, empty slots included, so the new device gets the same slot
numbering and a handle a widget has been holding still names its own
texture. The glyph atlas is no longer cleared on that path either, so an
app switch stops re-rasterising every glyph on screen.
Textures::shared(key, make) is one texture per description, keyed by a
SharedTextureKey the caller packs exactly rather than hashes. mark keys on
direction and colour: three mark textures for the screen, not one a card.
And the devlog can finally show a panic. After a crash, Dev Updater's
query starts the app process for the provider alone, so no activity ran,
so set_crash_dir never replayed the panic hook's file -- the Runtime tab
held one line, the provider announcing itself. DevLogProvider.nativeReady
takes the files directory and does the replay from onCreate; the hook also
saves the dying run's last 80 lines beside the panic, read through a new
non-blocking LogRing::try_tail_text so a panic holding the ring's lock
cannot deadlock the hook.
Verified on this checkout's emulator: opens clean, survives 33 full-screen
scrolls back through the fixture, image_bind_group_creates_prev=1; a real
panic replays into the next launch, and a hand-written last-panic.txt
replays in a process started by a provider query with no activity.

My experimental attempt at a rust ui library (also my first ui library).
It's currently designed around using retained data structures (widgets), rather than diffing generated trees from data like xilem or iced. This is an experiment and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
Examples are in examples, eg. cargo run --example tabs.
Goals, in general order:
- does what I want it to (text, images, video, animations)
- very easy to use ignoring ergonomic ref counting
- reasonably fast / efficient (a lot faster than electron, save battery life, try to beat iced and xilem)
dev details
not targeting web rn cause wanna use actual nice gpu features & entire point of this is to make desktop apps / not need a web browser
general ideas trynna use rn / experiment with:
- retained mode
- specifically designed around wgpu so there's no translation
- postfix functions for most things to prevent unreadable indentation (going very well)
- events can be done directly where you draw the widgets
- almost no macros in user code & actual LSP typechecking (variadic generics if you can hear me please save us)
- relative anchor + absolute offset coord system (+ "rest" / leftover during widget layout)
- single threaded ui & pass context around to make non async usage straightforward (pretty unsure about this)
- widgets store outside of the actual rendering so they can be moved around and swapped easily (unsure about this but seems to work good for now)
under heavy initial development so not gonna try to explain status, maybe check TODO for that; sizable chance it gets a rewrite once I know everything I need and what seems to work best
it's called iris because it's the structure around what you actually want to display and colorful
