irisandClaude Opus 5 4ccfda6b8e Delete the decisions and design logs; scripts, rigs and xtask off the root
Iris: "remove both decisions and iris.md. I've decided to instead make
decisions when planning with agents rather than after they do things, and
they're both too long for me to wanna read, + don't cover all the
decisions I'll wanna make about the code anyways. I'll just naturally run
into things for now. Todo is important though."

So docs/DECISIONS.md (850 lines) and docs/IRIS.md (1,986) are gone, and
AGENTS.md now says not to start another: raise a choice while planning it
with her, otherwise decide it and put the reasoning at the code it
governs. The TODO lists stay. docs/SUBAGENTS_DECISIONS.md went with them
-- same artefact, same reasoning, and she did not name it, so its six
decisions were folded into docs/SUBAGENTS.md rather than deleted.

Deleting the logs left ~30 citations dangling in code comments and docs.
Each states its reason inline and cited the file only for provenance, so
they now read "decided 2026-09-07" or name the module doc that carries
the reasoning.

The root had six things that were not a program or a document. Moved,
per "I only meant top level sh files":

  run-tests.sh, test-wg-tunnel.sh, wg-setup-host.sh  -> scripts/
  rigs/                                              -> scripts/rigs/
  xtask/                                             -> scripts/xtask/

A project's own scripts stayed with the project: app/*.sh, app-rust/*.sh,
iris/*.sh and server/enroll-link.sh did not move.

`target/` at the root is deleted and cannot come back: there was never a
workspace there, and the 29 MB was only xtask's scratch space, now in
scripts/xtask/target/. `cargo xtask apk` still runs from the repo root
and now publishes to scripts/build/outputs/apk/<mode>/ -- one directory
deep, because that is what Dev Updater's `*/build/outputs/apk/*/*.apk`
discovery pattern needs, and scripts/xtask/build would have been two.

Verified: ./scripts/run-tests.sh and `cd iris && cargo test` green, clippy
and fmt clean everywhere, `cargo xtask apk debug --abi x86_64` builds and
signs an APK carrying lib/x86_64/libai_app.so at the new publish path, and
the repo root is now eleven entries with no build output among them.

iris

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:

  1. does what I want it to (text, images, video, animations)
  2. very easy to use ignoring ergonomic ref counting
  3. 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
