A terminal pane draws the kitty graphics its program places, so yazi's image and PDF previews show

2026-10-01T03:53:17Z

yazi asks the pane XTVERSION, and ghostty-vt answers "libghostty": yazi takes it for Ghostty and sends its previews by the kitty graphics protocol with Unicode placeholders (a=T,U=1, then U+10EEEE cells). ghostty-vt stored the images, but nothing drew them: the placeholders showed as tofu in the GUI and as raw codepoints in the tty, in every build since terminal panes answered queries (vkznsvzs, 2026-07-01). Before that no query was answered and yazi fell back to chafa's text art. Each frame, TerminalImages.zig reads the active screen's images and placements (virtual ones through their placeholder runs, and ones placed on a cell), cuts each into the cell rows it covers, maps those rows through the body's own row walk, clips them to the pane, and hands them on as ImagePlaces with exact geometry (NativePlacement.exact). The GUI draws them as textures; the tty passes them to an outer terminal with kitty graphics as one placement per row, its source cropped to whole cells. Placeholder cells draw no text. Scrolling, a delete, a resize, the alternate screen and a closed pane all fall out of reading the emulator's state every frame. A pane now knows its size in pixels: CSI 14/16/18 t are answered, the emulator's width_px/height_px follow the shell's cells, and the pty's winsize carries pixels (host_io.ptyWinsize), so yazi and a nested pardes size their images right. ghostty-vt's image store is 64 MiB per screen (its library default, 10 MB, refused a large preview), PNG transmissions are decoded with stb_image, and RGB images are converted only while shown. test/yazi_preview.py runs yazi in a hidden window on a PNG and a PDF and checks the captures, also through a tty pardes nested in the pane.

A selection deep in a long line costs a render what one at its start does: 5 MB in, /screen goes from 14.7 s to 5 ms

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

Every render measured a selection's and the cursor's columns from the start of their line (lineDisplayOffset walked the whole prefix twice), so a selection near the end of a 5 MB line stalled each frame, 3 s at 1 MB in and 14.7 s at 5 MB. The cost grew with the offset, with Wrap on or off. Three changes make it independent of where the selection is: - display width adds (a tab is tab_width wherever it stands), so the offset between two columns is the width of the text between them, never the prefix; - the selection's rows are clamped to what is shown: a row wholly before the selection is skipped, a start before the row's first column starts there, and an end past its last column ends there; - a head or cursor whose column lies past its visible row (the last visible row of a line owns every column after its start) is not measured, since it is not drawn. Measured on a Debug build, 5 MB line: offset 10, 1 MB and 5 MB now take 11, 6 and 5 ms per /screen. A new perf gate case, deep-sel, renders with the selection 2 MB into a line: 83 us on Debug. The baselines were re-recorded for the new harness. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

A diff reads as the code it changes: hunks in their file's language, added and removed rows tinted

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

A .diff or .patch pane, and a command pane whose output is a diff (`git diff`, `git show`, `diff -u`; told by a `diff --git` line, or `---`/`+++` with a `@@` under them, in its first rows), colour each hunk's code in the language of the file its section names (`+++ b/`, `--- a/` for a deleted file), with tree-sitter, as highlightLocations does for results. src/diff.zig walks a unified diff by its `@@` counts, so a removed line that reads `--- x` is no header. Each side of a hunk is parsed as one text (context and removed lines the old side, context and added lines the new), so a string or comment across lines colours as it does in the file; a side no line takes its colours from is not parsed. A section's hunks share a parse, in pieces of about 40 lines (a hunk past 80 is cut), only those in view, and each piece's colours are kept by its bytes, so scrolling back and a terminal's every repaint parse nothing again. Added and removed lines carry a flag in their style byte; the painter tints their rows to the pane's edge, a little way from the page toward the theme's ANSI green or red, and draws the prefix in that hue pushed to read on it. A file in no known language keeps the old line colours. A command pane is read once its command has finished: its rows are copied once (File.DiffOutput, dropped when the pane runs again), so no frame dumps the scrollback, and painted over what git printed. A running command is shown as it prints. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Terminal.zig is terminal.zig: a file of functions and no fields takes a namespace's lowercase name

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

The last of the deferred renames, now that the tty and theme agents have landed: panes.terminal at its importers, the alias lines in Text.zig and File.zig and panes.zig's own uses following. dump.zig's Terminal struct, a dump record, is not this. The served sources list and docs/design.typ name the new file. test/perf.zig's references change, so the three perf baselines take its new harness id with their numbers as recorded. No behaviour changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Merge: 9P round 6 + empty columns + render (acme theme, grips, Lift, Motion)

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

acme looks like acme; every theme gets acme's button, scroll column and 2px rules

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

acme takes plan9port's own colours (acme.c iconinit, draw.h): selections #eeee9e in the body and #9eeeee in the tag, black ink; exec and look sweeps #aa0000 and #006600, white ink; a #99994c scrollbar under a #ffffea thumb; black rules; a #8888cc tag/body rule and column button. Every theme: the grip is acme's button, its tag row's full height, in one scroll column with the scrollbar (rail_px, 12 at a 17px tagline, scaled, times GripWidth, a percent, default 150; same x0/x1 to the pixel): focused clean = solid box; focused dirty = box_dirty filled to a box ring (acme's modbutton); unfocused clean = a box_border ring round the tag's ground; unfocused dirty = box_dirty a pixel inside that ring. The grid, which has no ring, marks dirty with a bold * on box_dirty in the grip's second cell and fills an unfocused grip halfway to its ring. Regions carry a dirty flag. Column buttons are the same shape, solid. 2px rules between columns and stacked panes (inside the tag band's slack), none at the window edge; a 1px tag/body rule halfway between tag and page. Theme data: tag_sel_bg, sweep_bg/fg, tag_rule, rule_px, rail_px, box_border, box_dirty. Chrome: rule_px, tag_rule, rail_px, grip_border, grip_focus_ring; a comptime guard on Chrome's layout forces a wire bump once v8 ships. Structural rules are exempt from the focus-indicator rule (docs/effects.md). Tests: acme widths; stacked rule in the slack at two tagline sizes; every grip-column pixel is band, button, ring or rule, and the button shares the scrollbar's x0/x1 (4 metrics x top/bottom x focus x dirty); the four grip states distinct in every native theme with a non-colour dirty cue in the grid; wire round-trip of the new fields. Shared files: src/colors.zig, src/surface.zig, src/body_layer.zig, src/tagline.zig, src/detached/wire.zig, docs/themes.md, docs/config.md, docs/effects.md, 21 snapshot goldens (the grip cells only), test/gui-goldens.txt. Motion flavours differ by design, and drive notice drops and pane moves

Trial merge: 9P + helix + render

gw labels the words in view and jumps to the one whose label is typed

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

helix goto_word: the words of two or more word characters between the view's first and last lines get two-letter labels, nearest the cursor first, one forward and one back in turn (modal.jumpWords). The next two keys choose one and select it, stretching the selection to it in select mode; any other key takes the labels away. The words live on Pane.jump, and renderBody paints their labels over the body's cells in the selection colours, the one change on the render side. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

A notice's word under the pointer is lit, in its band and the grid; mark_hover is gone

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Open point 6 of docs/render-pipeline.md: notice words are Look and Exec targets, so the hover affordance headers have is back on notices, painted once in the notice's layer and joined into the grid from it. Deleted: Surface.mark_hover, Cell.hover and render's per-frame reset of it, none of which had been set since stage 5 (macOS loses its glass hover rect; its build is ignored for now). Snapshot goldens unchanged. Shared files touched: macos.zig (the hover bit's removal). Not touched: pardes.zig, Messages.zig, mouse.zig, gui.zig, detached/*.

One Layer for tags, notices, headers and bodies; a taller tag is one layer of rows; wire v8

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

src/Layer.zig merges TagLayer and BodyLayer. `rows` (0 = no layer) and a cursor at {x, y}. A tag of N rows is ONE layer of N grid rows: tagHit answers the row as `line`, bodyHit keeps its meaning, and the per-line layer bases (TAG_LINE_LAYER_BASE, HEADER_LINE_LAYER_BASE) are gone, not aliased. Wire v8, the one bump: tag layers carry rows and cursor y, and the frame carries the placed region list. v7 and v9 peers are refused in both directions (server test over both, a new frontend test over both). web: tag_layer_value 11 = rows, 12 = cursor y; app.mjs lays every row. macOS: the Zig side compiles against Layer; pardes.h still sees one row per tag layer (accepted, the macOS shell is ignored for now). No visual change: snapshot goldens and the 17 GUI goldens byte-identical. Shared files touched: pardes.zig, Messages.zig, gui.zig, macos.zig, detached/client.zig, detached/server.zig, detached/wire.zig (plus web.zig, app.mjs, edit.zig, look.zig). Not touched: mouse.zig, tagline.zig, colors.zig, tty.zig, dump.zig, exec.zig, host_io.zig, panes.zig.
