gen.image{prompt} is a service inside the assistant: on a worker it
runs the creator pipeline for the image domain against the node the
runner picks (LAN discovery, ETA-ranked, the resident flux model wins),
streams the node's progress into the tool card, and writes the picture
under the makepad home's gen/ dir; the creator library gains
generate_bytes — the request, poll and fetch that generate_and_publish
now shares — so no second pipeline exists. photos.add{path} bakes that
one file into the open library (only from the gen dir or the person's
home), re-opens the wall and glides onto the new picture; the module
executor answers it later through the host's reply sink. The model
chains them, launching photos in between. A registry seam found on the
way: a call dispatched in the same event a link was adopted reached the
port before its Registered, so the registry now answers a leading
Register at once.
The wall gained a search box: every keystroke re-cuts the packing over
the matches (every word in a title or link; title beats link, a whole
word beats a substring), each picture flies from its drawn rect to its
target over 450 ms, dropped pictures shrink and fade, returning ones
grow back; Esc clears; ⌘F or a bare slash focuses the box; the status
reads "35 of 293 · ro". photos.filter{query} sets the same from the
pane; instances are rebuilt only while a flight runs, and the clock is
the platform's.
Proven on the fleet: "make me a picture of a red bicycle on the moon
and put it in photos" → the file in 40 s, photos launched, added and
shown among the comics; typing r, ro, rob re-packs the wall live; the
filter through the pane in a process tile and as a module. ai-services

apps/photos (lib + bin) puts libs/image_tiles' TileGrid in a tile: it
opens a baked library found by name (IMAGE_TILES_HOME, the cwd's
local/image-tiles, the checkout the binary was built in — the smbc
collection first), shows a status line with the bake command when
there is none, and exposes photos.search (every query word in a title
or link), photos.show (the camera glides onto one picture) and
photos.summary — the same answer for the port and for the module's
executor. PhotosModule mints the view inside an isolate with an open
schema that takes a collection name, never a path; the WM links it
behind app-photos and lists it in the menu. image_tiles learned to
decode GIF and WebP and to read a manifest's pictures from disk, so
the bake can take local/smbc's mirror: the last 300 comics are baked
under local/image-tiles/smbc (293; seven of the mirror's files are
saved error pages). fabric joins the launcher with a title and a
polite close.
Driven hidden: the wall in a process tile beside the left pane, panned
and zoomed; search and show cards; the same wall as an in-process
module; fabric launched and closed; standalone photos with the F10
overlay on the left. photos 7, image_tiles 5, wm 152; the photos lib
checks for wasm32.
