+Status: **plumbing PoC.** It proves the wiring — Rust → codegen → build-from-source
+on each app build → load on both platforms — not a perf win yet. The one capability
+(`sha1_hex`) is single-shot in-memory, and the local-sync probe found hashing isn't
+the hot path; a measured payload is the next step. `core_version` is a smoke
+entrypoint. Mobile is the consumed path; the server napi crate builds and
+round-trips but is not wired into the server yet.
+
+## Layout
+```
+crates/
+  immich_core        pure logic, no binding deps. capabilities = cargo features (hashing).
+  immich_core_dart   cdylib/staticlib + cbindgen header for dart:ffi (mobile)
+  immich_core_napi   cdylib (.node) via napi-rs (server, unwired)
+immich_native_core/  the Flutter package mobile depends on. build hook + ffigen @Native bindings.
+smoke/               host dart + node roundtrip scripts (no device)
+```
+Bindings are separate crates (Cargo can't gate `crate-type` by feature).
+
+## How the native lib is built (Flutter native assets — no prebuilt, no CI)
+`immich_native_core/hook/build.dart` (`native_toolchain_rust`) compiles
+`crates/immich_core_dart` **from source on every app build** via rustup and bundles
+it as a Flutter *code asset*. The Dart side uses ffigen `@Native` externals bound to
+that asset — no `DynamicLibrary`, no prebuilt artifacts, no fetch/publish/separate-repo.
+
+Native assets is on by default on Flutter stable (3.38+), so a stock `flutter build`
+runs the hook. Each builder needs **rustup** (the hook auto-installs the pinned
+toolchain + targets from `crates/immich_core_dart/rust-toolchain.toml`).
+
+## Dev commands (mise)
+```
+mise run build         cargo build --workspace
+mise run test          cargo test --workspace     (host Rust tests, incl. FFI-boundary)
+mise run lint          clippy -D warnings         (fmt: mise run fmt)
+mise run codegen       regen cbindgen header + ffigen @Native bindings — commit the result
+mise run test:flutter  HOST FFI roundtrip through the real build hook (no device)
+mise run smoke         Rust tests + host dart:ffi + host napi roundtrips
+```
+
+## Add a capability (end to end)
+1. add the logic to `crates/immich_core` (behind a cargo feature if it pulls a dep).
+2. expose a C entry in `crates/immich_core_dart/src/lib.rs` — `#[no_mangle] pub extern "C"`,
+   wrap the body in `guard(...)` (panic at the boundary → null, never unwind into the host),
+   validate pointers, return Rust-owned memory the caller frees via `immich_core_free_string`.
+3. `mise run codegen` — regenerates the committed cbindgen header + ffigen `@Native` bindings.
+4. add an ergonomic wrapper + null-check in `immich_native_core/lib/immich_native_core.dart`.
+5. (optional) mirror it in `crates/immich_core_napi/src/lib.rs` for the server.
+6. `mise run test:flutter` (host) + add a case to `immich_native_core/test/`, and to
+   `mobile/integration_test/native_core_test.dart` to exercise it on a device.
+
+## Consume from immich/mobile
+`immich_native_core: { path: ../native/immich_native_core }` in `mobile/pubspec.yaml`,
+then `dart pub get`. No app-level Gradle/Podfile edits — the hook builds + bundles the
+lib. Builders need rustup. See the package README for the iOS App-Extension caveat.

+# immich_native_core (Flutter package)
+
+dart:ffi bindings to the `immich_native_core` Rust core. The native code is **built
+from source on every app build** via a Dart build hook (Flutter native assets) — no
+prebuilt binaries, no `DynamicLibrary`, no platform plugin glue.
+
+## Use it from immich/mobile
+
+```yaml
+# mobile/pubspec.yaml
+dependencies:
+  immich_native_core:
+    path: ../native/immich_native_core
+```
+
+`dart pub get`, then call it:
+
+```dart
+import 'package:immich_native_core/immich_native_core.dart';
+
+final version = coreVersion();
+final hex = sha1Hex(bytes); // hash large inputs off the main isolate (worker_manager)
+```
+
+No app-level Gradle/Podfile edits. `hook/build.dart` compiles the Rust crate and
+Flutter bundles it as a code asset; the `@Native` bindings resolve against it.
+**Requirement:** every machine that builds the app needs [rustup](https://rustup.rs)
+— the hook auto-installs the pinned toolchain + targets from the crate's
+`rust-toolchain.toml`.
+
+## Layout
+
+- `hook/build.dart` — builds `../crates/immich_core_dart` via `native_toolchain_rust`.
+- `lib/immich_native_core.dart` — barrel, the public API.
+- `lib/src/{core,hashing,image}.dart` — thin wrappers, one file per Rust module.
+- `lib/src/ffi/bindings.g.dart` — ffigen `@Native` output (committed; do not edit).
+- `ffigen.yaml` — ffi-native mode; asset-id must match the hook's `assetName`.
+- `test/` — host FFI roundtrip (`flutter test`); device runs via `mobile/integration_test`.
+
+## ⚠ iOS App Extensions
+
+Code assets are bundled into the app's **Runner** target. immich ships a Share
+Extension and a Widget Extension — if the core is ever called from one of those,
+verify the symbols resolve there (same family as the embed-into-Runner-only gotcha).
+Not an issue while only the main app calls it.
+
+The Rust workspace, the codegen/build/test commands, and the "add a function" loop
+live in [`../README.md`](../README.md).
