feat(render): export protein viewport figures as PNG - #56
Export the active protein/molecule viewport as PNG through an offscreen WGPU render target and GPU readback.
Expose image export through the document-tab Save As action and the typed render export [PATH] command.
Introduce theme-aware/custom viewport backgrounds and persistent desktop light/dark theme preferences.
Add tests for command parsing, export path resolution, rendering capability routing, and color conversion.
Implementation
The export path follows RenderCommand::ExportImage → ChitinApp::export_document_image → document export callback → ChitinWgpuDocumentPanel::export_png. The image is rendered without the GPUI chrome and written as RGBA PNG.
Review findings — resolve before marking ready
[High] Blocking GPU readback and PNG I/O on the GPUI update path.crates/chitin-desktop/src/features/molecule/viewport/export.rs calls device.poll(PollType::Wait), waits for map completion, converts the full pixel buffer, and writes the PNG synchronously. The GUI button invokes this via app.update_in. This can stall interactions during GPU delays or large exports. Consider asynchronous readback and off-main-thread encoding/persistence.
[High] Validate PNG color-space semantics. Export decodes sRGB render-target bytes to linear 8-bit channels and writes an untagged PNG. The stated goal is matching the GPUI compositor, but a conventional PNG reader will generally interpret those bytes as sRGB. Add reference-pixel/image tests and explicitly define the intended output color space; consider emitting conventional sRGB PNG or appropriate metadata/conversion.
[Medium] Offscreen render uses a different display scale factor.export_png constructs WgpuPanelFrame { scale_factor: 1.0, .. } while live rendering uses window.scale_factor(). Selection outlines or other scale-sensitive effects may differ. Carry the current scale factor into the export request.
[Medium] Default export filenames can collide.default_export_name uses Unix seconds, and File::create truncates an existing file. Multiple exports of a tab within the same second can overwrite output silently. Use collision-resistant names or explicit overwrite handling.
[Medium] Export destination/file-write robustness.export_image_path treats non-existing directory paths without a trailing separator as filenames and rewrites extensions. PNG is written directly to the final destination, so a failed encode can leave a partial file. Prefer a documented destination policy and a temporary-file + rename commit for completed images.
[Low] Error/reporting asymmetry. The GUI Save As dialog errors are only logged, while command export errors show toast feedback. Consider consistent user-facing error reporting.
Validation
This review was performed by inspecting the branch source and the main...feat/protein-figure-export comparison. Local cargo check, Clippy, tests, GPU screenshot comparison, and cross-platform execution have not been run. No GitHub Actions runs were found for this branch at the time of review.
Merge recommendation
Draft / changes requested before merge. The API separation and typed command integration are reasonable, but GPU synchronization, pixel color management, and export correctness should be validated before merging into main.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added Light, Dark, and Follow System theme options, with theme controls available from the window bar and Settings.
Viewport backgrounds now follow the active theme by default, or can be set to black, white, or a custom color.
Added PNG export for protein views, with a save dialog or an automatically generated file destination.
- Add ThemePreference (System/Light/Dark) with OS appearance observation.
System is the default; explicit Light/Dark choices are remembered.
- Persist the selection under the user config directory and load it before
the first window is created.
- Add a Settings entry beside the sidebar toggle with a Follow system theme
switch, plus a Light/Dark icon button left of the window controls.
- Add ViewportBackground policy for molecular rendering: Auto follows the
theme (black in dark mode, white in light mode), with explicit sRGB colors.
- Expose `render background auto|black|white|#RRGGBB`, keep the viewport
clear color and depth-cue background in sync, and include background state
in per-panel settings, split-view copies, and undo/redo snapshots.
- Cover theme resolution, system override behavior, settings persistence,
background parsing, and undo/redo with tests.
- Add offscreen WGPU capture for the active protein viewport: render with the
current camera, read back the texture, convert BGRA/RGBA as needed, and write
a PNG.
- Match the live viewport's appearance by decoding sRGB target bytes back to the
linear values GPUI presents; keep PNG output aligned with on-screen colors.
- Add an Export icon button to the left of Split Horizontally, shown only for
protein tabs. It opens the native Save As dialog with the default directory
and filename pre-filled.
- Add the typed command `RenderCommand::ExportImage { output: Option<PathBuf> }`
and command ID `render.export_image`.
- Add built-in shell syntax `render export [PATH]`:
- no path writes to `<workspace>/.chitin/exports/<name>-<timestamp>.png`
- relative paths resolve inside the workspace
- directory targets receive the default timestamped filename
- non-PNG extensions are normalized to `.png`
- Route the tab-strip export button and shell command through the same command
bus, including typed errors.
- Make `RenderCommand` cloneable rather than copyable to carry an optional path;
move the coalesced opacity preview state to `RefCell`.
- Add `png = "0.17"` and cover path resolution, command parsing, capability
plumbing, color conversion, and export dispatch with tests.
The desktop app adds system, light, and dark theme preferences, configurable molecular viewport backgrounds, and PNG export. Users can set backgrounds through render commands and export images through render commands or document-tab actions. The app persists theme preferences and records background changes in undo and redo history.
Render commands now include background selection and optional image-export destinations. Shell parsing accepts automatic, named, and RGB backgrounds, plus image-export paths.
The app loads and saves System, Light, or Dark preferences. The sidebar and window bar provide theme controls, and System preference follows window appearance changes.
The renderer resolves automatic backgrounds from theme mode and converts custom sRGB colors to linear RGB. Document panels pass the resolved background to molecular scenes.
Background commands and edit history crates/chitin-desktop/src/commands/render.rs, crates/chitin-desktop/src/commands/history.rs
Render commands apply and report viewport backgrounds. Edit history snapshots capture background state and restore it during undo and redo.
Molecular viewports can export PNG images through GPU readback. The app resolves destinations, runs export completion asynchronously, and reports results.
Supported document tabs display an export action that opens a save dialog and dispatches the selected path. The change also adds the export icon check and Linux development dependencies.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review bf6a0
A full disk during PNG export could produce a truncated image while the app reports success. The fix is small and should be made, but it does not block the rest of the feature.

- Remove the sRGB-to-linear `presentation_channel` conversion from export.
The offscreen target is `Rgba8UnormSrgb`, so its readback bytes are already
sRGB-encoded and should be written to the PNG unchanged. Decoding them made
exported images dependent on GPUI's platform-specific surface compositing.
- Split the export pipeline into reusable `read_texture_rgba` and `encode_png`
helpers so color behavior can be tested independently of a live panel.
- Add a CI test that writes black, white, mid-gray, and saturated RGB pixels,
decodes the PNG, and asserts the exact RGBA bytes are preserved.
- Add an ignored GPU test that renders linear clear colors into an sRGB target,
reads the texture back, and verifies values are encoded exactly once:
`0.0 -> 0`, `0.5 -> 188`, `1.0 -> 255`, plus saturated RGB.
Run manually with:
`cargo test -p chitin-desktop --lib gpu_srgb_readback -- --ignored`
- Add `pollster` as a desktop dev-dependency for the ignored GPU test.
The GPU test is intentionally excluded from CI because it requires an adapter.
- Split protein image export into UI-thread GPU submission and a background
completion worker: polling, buffer mapping, PNG encoding, and file writes no
longer run in the GPUI update path.
- Represent pending captures as a boxed `ExportTask`; document panels submit
GPU work without owning blocking I/O.
- Add an `Exporting protein image` progress toast and replace it with success
or failure feedback when the worker finishes.
- Fall back to the default `.chitin/exports` destination when the native save
dialog backend is unavailable instead of aborting the export.
- Restore the sRGB-to-linear presentation conversion for exported pixels so
PNG colors match the current viewport presentation. Leave the desktop
rendering path unchanged.
- Return `Exporting image to <path>` from the command bus because the file is
written asynchronously.
- Add `dbus` to the Linux platform libraries so rfd can load libdbus-1, and add
`zenity` as the development-shell fallback dialog backend.
- Update tests for deferred export tasks, the new command output, PNG byte
preservation, and presentation color decoding.
- Generate default export names from milliseconds plus a process-local
monotonic sequence instead of whole-second timestamps.
- Carry an overwrite policy through the export task so automatically generated
destinations use `create_new(true)` and refuse to replace an existing file.
- Preserve overwrite behavior for explicit destinations chosen through Save As
or passed to `render export <path>`.
- Add `ExportError::AlreadyExists` for collision reporting through the export
toast.
- Add tests for unique default names, refusing existing files, and allowing
explicit overwrites.
- Replace `chunks_exact(4)` and `chunks_exact_mut(4)` with
`as_chunks::<4>()` and `as_chunks_mut::<4>()` in the export readback and
presentation color paths.
- Satisfy Clippy 1.99's `chunks_exact_to_as_chunks` lint without changing
pixel handling behavior.

**Exports escape workspace symlinks**
When a malicious workspace contains `.chitin/exports` as a symlink to an attacker-chosen directory and the user invokes `render export` without a path, the export path is followed through the symlink, and `PendingExport::finish` creates the PNG outside the workspace; the toast still shows the workspace-relative path, exposing the captured viewport at the redirected destination.
Resolve and validate the export directory against the canonical workspace root, or reject symlinked export directories before writing.

**Theme changes overwrite symlink targets**
When a local attacker can place `${config_dir}/chitin/theme.tmp` as a symlink to a file writable by the app before the user changes the theme, `std::fs::write` follows the symlink and truncates its target before the rename, so changing the theme overwrites an unrelated file writable by the app.
Create a uniquely named temporary file with exclusive, symlink-safe creation in the config directory, then atomically replace the settings file.

**Exports fail on some surface formats**
When the live surface format differs from `Rgba8UnormSrgb`, `begin_export` renders into an `Rgba8UnormSrgb` target while the existing renderer’s pipelines use the live surface format, so WGPU rejects the incompatible render pass and no image is produced.
Use a render target format compatible with the renderer’s pipelines, or create compatible pipelines for the export target.

**Failed exports damage or misreport files**
When PNG encoding or writing fails, `finish` opens and truncates the final destination before encoding completes, destroying any prior image and leaving a partial file; it also drops the `BufWriter` without checking its final flush, so a write error can be reported as success. Encode to a temporary file, explicitly flush and check it, then replace the destination only after success.

**Concurrent exports corrupt shared output**
When two exports to the same explicit path overlap, both workers open and truncate the same destination and write independently, so their output can interleave into a corrupted PNG or one export can replace the other. The caller receives an invalid image or loses one export.

**Later theme changes are not saved**
When a user changes the saved theme preference again on Windows, `save_theme_preference_at` renames the temporary file over an existing settings file, but `std::fs::rename` fails when the destination already exists on Windows. The previous preference remains on disk and returns on the next launch.
Use a Windows-compatible replacement strategy that atomically updates an existing settings file.

<issue_to_address>
**Exported colors appear too dark**
When the capture contains midtones or other non-endpoint colors, `decode_presentation_rgb` converts sRGB readback bytes to linear values, then `encode_png` writes those values without sRGB encoding or color-space metadata. Conventional PNG viewers interpret them as sRGB, so exported colors appear darker than the viewport.
Preserve the sRGB readback values when writing the PNG, or re-encode linear values as sRGB before writing.

<issue_to_address>
**Exported outlines use the wrong scale**
When the display scale factor differs from 1.0 and scale-sensitive effects are visible, `begin_export` passes a scale factor of `1.0` to `render_frame`, while live rendering passes the window scale factor. Selection outlines and other scale-sensitive effects therefore render at a different size in the exported image than in the viewport.
Pass the window’s scale factor to the export frame.

<issue_to_address>
**Exports use a stale background**
When the theme or background changes before the tab renders another frame, `begin_export` calls `scene.render_frame` without resolving the panel’s current background policy, so an inactive tab exported before rendering again uses its old clear color and depth-cue background.
Resolve and apply the panel’s current background policy before rendering the export.

<issue_to_address>
**Default export names collide**
When separate app processes export tabs with the same title in the same millisecond, `default_export_name` uses a process-local sequence and timestamp, so both processes can produce the same path. The second export uses `create_new` and fails with an already-exists error instead of producing an image.
Use a collision-resistant name across processes or retry with a new name when the destination already exists.

<issue_to_address>
**Concurrent settings saves conflict**
When separate app processes save theme preferences at the same time, `save_theme_preference_at` gives both processes the same `.tmp` path, so one can truncate or rename the other’s temporary file. A save can fail or the persisted preference can differ from the last selection.
Give each save a unique temporary path and safely replace the settings file after writing.

**Exported figures lack provenance**
When a viewport image is exported, `PendingExport::finish` passes only pixel bytes and dimensions to `encode_png`, which writes no source, rendering parameters, or tool-version metadata. The saved figure cannot be traced to its inputs and settings.
Store the source identity, rendering parameters, tool version, and timestamp in PNG metadata or a linked provenance sidecar.

**Overwrite regression still passes**
When `open_export_file` damages an existing file before returning `AlreadyExists`, `create_new_exports_should_not_replace_an_existing_file` only checks that the second open returns `AlreadyExists`; an implementation that truncates the existing file and then returns that error still passes, so existing image data can be lost unnoticed.
Write known contents before the second open and assert they are unchanged afterward.

**Incorrect midtones still pass**
When `decode_presentation_rgb` maps non-endpoint channel values to zero, `presentation_decode_should_keep_endpoints_and_darken_midtones` accepts any result below 200 for input 226 and any result below 64 for input 64; a decoder that maps non-endpoint channels to zero passes while exported midtones become black.
Assert exact or tightly bounded expected decoded values for representative midtone inputs.

Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 14 findings to address first, and when an explicit destination already exists, the export opens it with truncation before encoding, so a failed or incorrect export can destroy its previous contents; reverting the change cannot restore that file. Default exports use a create-new path, but explicit paths—including those supplied through the render command—can overwrite existing files.

🟠 High · Exports fail on some surface formats
When the live surface format differs from Rgba8UnormSrgb, begin_export renders into an Rgba8UnormSrgb target while the existing renderer’s pipelines use the live surface format, so WGPU rejects the incompatible render pass and no image is produced.

**Exports fail on some surface formats**
When the live surface format differs from `Rgba8UnormSrgb`, `begin_export` renders into an `Rgba8UnormSrgb` target while the existing renderer’s pipelines use the live surface format, so WGPU rejects the incompatible render pass and no image is produced.

🟡 Medium · Default export names collide
When separate app processes export tabs with the same title in the same millisecond, default_export_name uses a process-local sequence and timestamp, so both processes can produce the same path. The second export uses create_new and fails with an already-exists error instead of producing an image.
Use a collision-resistant name across processes or retry with a new name when the destination already exists.

🟡 Medium · Concurrent settings saves conflict
When separate app processes save theme preferences at the same time, save_theme_preference_at gives both processes the same .tmp path, so one can truncate or rename the other’s temporary file. A save can fail or the persisted preference can differ from the last selection.
Give each save a unique temporary path and safely replace the settings file after writing.

🟡 Medium · Exported figures lack provenance
When a viewport image is exported, PendingExport::finish passes only pixel bytes and dimensions to encode_png, which writes no source, rendering parameters, or tool-version metadata. The saved figure cannot be traced to its inputs and settings.
Store the source identity, rendering parameters, tool version, and timestamp in PNG metadata or a linked provenance sidecar.

🟡 Medium · Incorrect midtones still pass
When decode_presentation_rgb maps non-endpoint channel values to zero, presentation_decode_should_keep_endpoints_and_darken_midtones accepts any result below 200 for input 226 and any result below 64 for input 64; a decoder that maps non-endpoint channels to zero passes while exported midtones become black.
Assert exact or tightly bounded expected decoded values for representative midtone inputs.

- Encode PNGs into a unique sibling temporary file instead of truncating the
final destination before encoding.
- Explicitly call `png::Writer::finish`, check `BufWriter::into_inner`, and
`File::sync_all` so final flush and write errors are reported instead of
being dropped with the buffer.
- Replace the destination only after encoding succeeds; remove the temporary
file on any failure so an existing image is preserved.
- Keep `create_new` protection for automatic destinations and allow explicit
destinations to overwrite.
- Add tests for flush failure reporting, preserving existing files, cleanup of
temporary files, and explicit replacement.
- Add src/cli/chemdraw.typ with the existing command examples, shared options,
stdin behavior, and diagram-format reference.
- Register the page under the CLI section of book.typ.
- Remove the standalone docs/commands/chemdraw.md and its now-empty directory.

Summary
render export [PATH]command.Implementation
The export path follows
RenderCommand::ExportImage→ChitinApp::export_document_image→ document export callback →ChitinWgpuDocumentPanel::export_png. The image is rendered without the GPUI chrome and written as RGBA PNG.Review findings — resolve before marking ready
crates/chitin-desktop/src/features/molecule/viewport/export.rscallsdevice.poll(PollType::Wait), waits for map completion, converts the full pixel buffer, and writes the PNG synchronously. The GUI button invokes this viaapp.update_in. This can stall interactions during GPU delays or large exports. Consider asynchronous readback and off-main-thread encoding/persistence.export_pngconstructsWgpuPanelFrame { scale_factor: 1.0, .. }while live rendering useswindow.scale_factor(). Selection outlines or other scale-sensitive effects may differ. Carry the current scale factor into the export request.default_export_nameuses Unix seconds, andFile::createtruncates an existing file. Multiple exports of a tab within the same second can overwrite output silently. Use collision-resistant names or explicit overwrite handling.export_image_pathtreats non-existing directory paths without a trailing separator as filenames and rewrites extensions. PNG is written directly to the final destination, so a failed encode can leave a partial file. Prefer a documented destination policy and a temporary-file + rename commit for completed images.Validation
This review was performed by inspecting the branch source and the
main...feat/protein-figure-exportcomparison. Localcargo check, Clippy, tests, GPU screenshot comparison, and cross-platform execution have not been run. No GitHub Actions runs were found for this branch at the time of review.Merge recommendation
Draft / changes requested before merge. The API separation and typed command integration are reasonable, but GPU synchronization, pixel color management, and export correctness should be validated before merging into
