fix(renderer): recover from oversized wallpapers - #18
Conversation
Reviewer's GuideThis PR hardens wallpaper rendering by validating image/video dimensions and memory use before GPU allocation, resizing oversized static wallpapers to per-output limits, and making wallpaper state persistence and restoration transactional with retries and safe fallbacks so that oversized or corrupt wallpapers no longer crash or poison daemon startup.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe PR adds image, GIF, and video allocation safeguards. Video startup now prepares resources before commit. Wallpaper replacement persists per-output state after successful rendering and restores the previous wallpaper after transient failures. Wallpaper resource validation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change improves recovery from invalid and oversized wallpapers, but the current implementation still has merge-blocking risks: temporary-file handling can allow unintended file writes, failed blanking or rendering can leave wallpaper and theme state inconsistent, preview startup may process oversized persisted images before safety checks, and failed renders may be persisted before anything is displayed.

Hey - I've found 1 issue, and left some high level feedback:
- Consider centralizing the video prepare/validate/commit sequence (now duplicated between daemon and preview) into a shared helper to keep GPU-resource checks and first-frame handling consistent across call sites.
- The
is_transient_wallpaper_errorhelper currently only treats a narrow set ofio::ErrorKindandVideoErrorvariants as retryable; if other transient sources (e.g., GPU resource creation errors, temporary file-system issues) emerge, this may need to be extended or parameterized to avoid brittle retry behavior. - The
prepared_image_dimensionsscaling behavior for mode2(stretch) and pixel-sensitive modes relies on fixed numeric codes; it may be clearer and less error-prone to wrap these in a typed enum or helper to avoid magic values and make future additions easier to reason about.

## Overall Comments
- Consider centralizing the video prepare/validate/commit sequence (now duplicated between daemon and preview) into a shared helper to keep GPU-resource checks and first-frame handling consistent across call sites.
- The `is_transient_wallpaper_error` helper currently only treats a narrow set of `io::ErrorKind` and `VideoError` variants as retryable; if other transient sources (e.g., GPU resource creation errors, temporary file-system issues) emerge, this may need to be extended or parameterized to avoid brittle retry behavior.
- The `prepared_image_dimensions` scaling behavior for mode `2` (stretch) and pixel-sensitive modes relies on fixed numeric codes; it may be clearer and less error-prone to wrap these in a typed enum or helper to avoid magic values and make future additions easier to reason about.

**issue (bug_risk):** Path encoding for wallpaper state is inconsistent between read and write, which can break non-UTF-8 paths.
write_wallpaper_state persists raw OS string bytes via as_encoded_bytes, but read_wallpaper_state uses read_to_string and assumes UTF-8. On Unix, where paths can contain non-UTF-8 sequences, this will fail to reload previously saved wallpaper paths and lose state. Please use a consistent representation for both read and write (either always UTF-8 via to_string_lossy and read_to_string, or always raw bytes via read and reconstructing PathBuf from OsString).

- Around line 1063-1071: Update read_wallpaper_state to read the state file as
raw bytes and reconstruct the PathBuf using the platform-appropriate byte
encoding, matching write_wallpaper_state. Remove trim-based processing so
leading and trailing whitespace in paths is preserved; if newline termination is
required, strip only the explicitly written trailing newline.
- Around line 800-810: Move the blocking retry work in set_wallpaper_with_retry
