Depth Anything V2 inference baked offline so the daemon has zero ML dependencies.

Strengths
  • Separates heavy ML inference (CLI) from lightweight rendering (daemon) for efficiency.
  • Uses wgpu/Vulkan and wlr-layer-shell for native Wayland integration without X11 hacks.
  • Supports systemd user services for seamless background operation on Arch/Hyprland.
Weaknesses
  • Explicitly experimental and tested only on a single machine configuration.
  • Requires Vulkan-capable GPU and specific ONNX runtime variants, limiting portability.
