img_cache holds every wallpaper and cursor sprite ever decoded, keyed by path, and had no eviction of any kind, in any of the three back-ends.

The exposure

18 shipped wallpapers, on disk 23.7 MB
the same, decoded to RGBA8 and all resident 1774 MB
wallpaper8.jpg (7680×7680) alone 225 MB
one decode, measured in release 129 ms

Browsing the wallpaper picker loads them all and frees none. This predates #493, but that PR doubles the ways in: a scene can now hold a screen wallpaper and a camera background, with a second picker to browse.

The fix

LRU eviction under a byte budget. The policy lives in frame_geometry::lru_evictions, shared by all three back-ends for the reason that module's own header gives — three copies of an eviction policy drift apart with nothing to say so. Four tests cover it; three fail when the protection or the stop-at-budget rule is mutated away.

The budget is sized against fps, not against memory. Eviction never touches the entry just inserted, and gives up above budget rather than returning it. A budget below the active set — worst case a screen wallpaper and a camera background, either of which can be 225 MB — would reload the same texture every frame, trading 200 MB for a 129 ms stall per frame. 512 MB bounds the leak while leaving the active set resident.

Also folds the two byte-identical lookup/insert sites (wallpaper background, cursor sprite) into one helper.

What this deliberately does not do

No decode, upload or pixel behaviour changes. Capping the uploaded resolution would cut per-entry cost roughly eightfold, but it changes output pixels — that is a separate trade with its own quality question, and it needs its own measurement rather than riding along with a memory fix.

Verification

141 Rust tests on Windows. Metal and wgpu are reviewed but not compiled locally; CI's macOS and Linux cargo test are what confirm them.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Linux and Windows compositors add webcam segmentation, mask-driven cutout rendering, custom backgrounds, and deterministic export inference. Linux, macOS, and Windows image caches now use 512 MiB frame-aware LRU eviction.

Changes

Compositor segmentation and image caching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared cache eviction policy
crates/compositor/src/frame_geometry.rs
lru_evictions removes least-recently-used entries above the byte budget while preserving textures used during the current frame. Unit tests cover the eviction rules.
Platform image-cache integration
crates/compositor/src/compositor_linux.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_macos.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_windows.rs
All three compositors track frame access ticks, use bounded image loading for backgrounds and cursors, and evict entries above 512 MiB. Windows adds an opt-in cache-budget integration test.
Platform webcam segmentation pipeline
crates/compositor/src/compositor_linux.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_windows.rs
The Linux and Windows compositors capture model-resolution webcam RGB data, upload validated R8 masks, support preview workers and deterministic inference, and expose segmentation controls.
Masked webcam composition
crates/compositor/src/compositor_linux.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_windows.rs
Webcam draws bind segmentation masks and scene effect parameters. Cutout mode renders color, gradient, or image backgrounds inside the bubble and suppresses the PiP shadow.
Segmentation and cache validation
crates/compositor/src/compositor_linux.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_windows.rs
Linux tests cover segmentation and cutout behavior. Windows adds an opt-in cache-budget integration test.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2adc4

The cache change bounds decoded texture memory, but clips without a camera can still run segmentation and receive a mask derived from screen content, which may produce incorrect visual behavior and unnecessary per-frame cost. Merge should wait for this issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Mesures sur machine de référence

Ryzen 7 5800X, poste fixe (pas de dérive batterie), 406 processus, 9 % de charge de fond. Protocole §C.2 : bras entrelacés, une ronde de chauffe écartée, porte à 15 % d'écart. Deux binaires release compilés une fois — main en 1c66ca34, cette branche en 567b483f — puis alternés, donc aucune recompilation entre les bras. Seuls les ratios transfèrent.

Coût par frame : aucun

scène bras médiane écart verdict
fond image avant 3,56 ms 4,8 % admissible
fond image après 3,55 ms 4,8 % admissible
fond couleur (témoin) avant 3,54 ms 2,0 % admissible
fond couleur (témoin) après 3,54 ms 2,9 % admissible

Après/avant : 0,997× sur la scène image, 1,001× sur le témoin. Le premier est négatif — l'après ressort plus rapide, ce qui est impossible pour du travail ajouté et situe l'écart dans le bruit. Les deux valent 0,005 à 0,010 ms, soit la résolution du banc.

Le point vérifié est précis : le helper fait désormais un insert de plus à chaque hit, pour rafraîchir le tick. Un hachage et un clone de String contre une frame de 3,5 ms ne se voient pas.

Bornage : démontré de bout en bout

img_cache_stays_under_budget charge les 18 wallpapers livrés :

montée libre jusqu'à 435 Mo, 6 entrées
première éviction wallpaper15, qui aurait porté le total à 524 Mo
pic observé ensuite 501 Mo (budget 512)
sans éviction 1 774 Mo

Le nombre d'entrées tombe de 7 à 3 quand le 7680×7680 arrive : le cache troque des petites contre une grosse, ce que la politique doit faire. Le test vérifie aussi que le cumulé dépasse le budget, faute de quoi il passerait à vide le jour où les assets rétréciraient.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…thing

`img_cache` holds every wallpaper and cursor sprite ever decoded, keyed by
path, and had no eviction of any kind in any of the three back-ends.

The exposure is not theoretical. The 18 shipped wallpapers are 23.7 MB on disk
and **1774 MB decoded to RGBA8** — `wallpaper8.jpg` is 7680x7680, or 225 MB on
its own. Browsing the picker loads them all and frees none, and the camera
background that just landed doubles the ways in: a scene can now hold a screen
wallpaper AND a camera background, with a second picker to browse.

LRU eviction under a byte budget. The policy lives in
`frame_geometry::lru_evictions`, shared by all three back-ends for the reason
that module's own header gives: three copies would drift apart with nothing to
say so.

**What is protected is the frame's whole active set, not merely the entry just
inserted.** A frame samples several textures — screen background, camera
background, cursor sprites — and evicting one because another just arrived
would make them chase each other every frame. That trades 129 ms of decode
(measured, release) against the ~3.5 ms a frame costs, which no memory budget
justifies. `begin_image_frame()` opens the frame in `compose_frame`; anything
touched after it is untouchable until the next one. If the active set alone
exceeds the budget, the policy stays above budget rather than touching it.

512 MB is therefore a floor, not a comfort setting: it has to hold the worst
realistic active set, two 225 MB wallpapers, while still bounding the leak.

`img_cache_stays_under_budget` proves the wiring end to end, opt-in behind
OPENSCREEN_CACHE_DEMO because it needs a real D3D11 device. Loading all 18
wallpapers one frame apart — the picker's own rhythm — the cache grows to
435 MB over 6 entries, first evicts on wallpaper15, and then holds between 392
and 501 MB. Unevicted, the same sequence is 1774 MB. It also asserts the
unevicted total EXCEEDS the budget, or it would pass vacuously the day someone
ships smaller wallpapers.

Also folds the two byte-identical lookup/insert sites into one helper, and
corrects three doc comments that still claimed an entry was loaded "once per
session" — no longer true once it can be evicted.

No decode, upload or pixel behaviour changes. Capping the uploaded resolution
would cut per-entry cost roughly eightfold, but it changes output pixels and
needs its own justification and measurement.

Verified on Windows: 151 Rust tests, tsc clean. Metal and wgpu are reviewed but
not compiled here; CI's macOS and Linux `cargo test` are what confirm them.

1621-1621: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Segmentation runs on the screen video when the clip has no camera. No backend consults LiveParams::has_webcam before calling pump_segmentation. When that flag is false the "webcam" decoder carries the screen video, so the model receives screen pixels, the compositor pays a capture plus an inference, and the installed mask does not describe a camera.

Move the wallpaper doc block back onto draw_image_bg.

The new function was inserted below the doc block of draw_image_bg. Lines 841-843 now document begin_image_frame and state that a failure makes the caller fall back to a flat colour. begin_image_frame has no failure path, and draw_image_bg at line 888 has lost its documentation.

`begin_image_frame` set `img_frame_start` to the current `img_tick`, but the
frame's first access receives `img_tick + 1`, and protection covers
`tick >= img_frame_start`. The entry it protected at exactly `img_frame_start`
is therefore the LAST one of the previous frame, which is no longer in the
active set — so the resident set could sit one whole texture above the budget,
up to 225 MB with the wallpapers we ship.

Off by one, and the fix is the `+ 1`, on all three back-ends. Caught in review;
the demonstration did not catch it because that run never depended on the extra
entry being evictable.

They shipped at up to 7680x7680 for an app whose largest output is 4K. That is
resolution nobody can see, paid for three times: on disk, in decode time, and
in VRAM for as long as the texture stays resident.

17 of 18 resized to 3840 on the long edge, Lanczos, quality 92. Measured:

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| on disk | 23.7 MB | 13.9 MB |
| all 18 resident | 1774 MB | 772 MB |
| a typical two-wallpaper session | 450 MB | 112 MB |
| decoding all 18 | 3.31 s | 1.43 s |

3840 rather than something smaller because it is exactly 1:1 for a 4K output —
below it, a 4K export would sample a background softer than its own frame. At
1080p the texture is still oversampled 2:1. So this is not a quality trade at
any output size we support; it is removing detail that no pipeline could reach.

The encoding loss is 41.3 to 52.1 dB PSNR against the raw Lanczos downscale,
measured per file. Above 40 dB is visually transparent on photographic
content, and the worst case is the most detailed image.

ICC profiles are preserved byte for byte — five files carry one, and losing it
would shift colours, which is a visible regression where the resolution is
not. EXIF rides along untouched. Thumbnails are already 240x240 and unchanged.

WHY THE ASSETS AND NOT THE CODE. A runtime cap was measured first and rejected:
`image::imageops::resize` costs 217 to 730 ms per first use in release, two to
four times the decode it follows, and the two strategies tried (one resize,
successive halvings) cost the same. A GPU downscale would be cheap but
`load_image_srv` runs mid-frame, so it would have to save and restore the
render target and viewport across three back-ends — real hazard, marginal gain.
Capping the assets costs nothing at runtime and shrinks the installer too.

It does not cover wallpapers the user imports. Those stay bounded by the LRU
budget from #537, which is the safety net this optimisation sits on top of
rather than replaces.

One consequence worth naming: `img_cache_stays_under_budget` now holds 11-13
entries resident instead of 3, which is the real win — far less eviction churn.
Its anti-vacuous guard (unevicted total must exceed the budget) now reads
772 MB against 512. Still true, but closer to the floor: shrink these assets
much further and that test will fail, which is exactly the signal it exists to
give.
