"Rust Against the Odds: Fighting Human Trafficking [...]"
summary
Rust tool FolSum (folder symbolizer/summarizer) compiles to no-dependency binaries that run on Celeron/Pentium-class machines with 4–8 GB RAM and signed universal Mac builds, enabling local, audit-ready manifests (MD5, SHA1/256) for chain-of-custody. Benchmarks target 10k–100k files though typical cases are ~250–400 items; moving from mutex-heavy design to channels yields ~250% throughput gain. GUI uses egui immediate mode, minimal deps, simple four-button workflow, and it ships and works in locked-down agency environments.
