The lock started decoding its wallpaper only once locked, with the cache off, and first at the view's unsized native resolution. A machine suspending right after locking froze that decode partway, so waking showed the password field on a bare background and the wallpaper popped in after it. On this machine the wallpaper took ~208ms to become ready, and the suspend followed the lock by 66ms. The lock service now keeps each screen's lock wallpaper decoded in the image cache, as the lock view requests it: same URL, the screen's logical size, PreserveAspectCrop. The view waits for its size and reads from the cache, so the wallpaper is ready within ~3ms of the lock starting. The version in the cached URL follows the file's mtime and size, so a wallpaper overwritten in place still reloads. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
