A window whose focus moves to a PDF or picture while the cursor glides goes idle: the glide stops instead of holding frames for ever

2026-10-01T16:44:34Z

glideCursor returned early when no cursor was drawn, so a glide under way (right-click a PDF from a tag: the cursor sets off for the new pane) was never stepped again and cursor_glide.moving() kept continuous() true: the GUI redrew at full rate, every frame, until focus came back to a cursor. With no cursor drawn the glide is now dropped; the next cursor lands. A pixel shell's only: the terminal has no cursor glide. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

A middle or right sweep over a column's or the workspace's tag runs or looks for what it swept, as a pane tag's does

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

Both headers acted on the press: a middle or right press ran, or looked for, the word under it (or the header's selection when it was on that) at once, so a drag had nothing left to do. A sweep of `echo SWEPT` in a column tag ran a bare `echo`. They have done so since the headers were drawn apart from the panes; it is no regression, and the -l/Restore allocator fix (ompukopz) does not touch it. Now a press on a header holds a HeaderSweep (the column by its serial, or the workspace), which the drag extends, held to the header's row and text as a pane tag's sweep is. It is painted in its button's tint meanwhile, and the release runs what it swept in that header's context; a release that has not moved runs the word or selection a click always did. The other of middle and right cancels it (acme 2-3/3-2); the select button is inert, as a header's command already takes the held selection as its argument. Running on the release, a builtin from a header is announced as one from a pane tag is: the press used to set the announcement and the release clear it at once. find, restore, theme, topbarexec, ttyhelp, tutor and windowops re-recorded for that badge alone. headersweep.snap sweeps the column and workspace tags with the middle button and a word part with the right one, and cancels a sweep; headersweep-restored.snap sweeps both after Dump and Restore.

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

A theme that names no tint for its tags' names takes one of its own hues, so every theme draws a file's name, a +Name and the Tty word off the tag's ink

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

The faithful ports (neobones_dark, dracula, tokyonight, the *bones, ...), every helix import and any theme file set no tag_name_fg, and ChromeTheme fell back to the plain ink: their tags lost the accent the pardes themes have. The user's neobones_dark looked tinted before only because the Sep 24 build had no such theme and fell back to orchard. The tint is now derived when unset: the theme's keyword colour, else the first of its ANSI accents, syntax, grip, selection or diagnostic colours with a hue, placed at the lightness nearest the ink where the hue holds, at least 4.5:1 on its ground (half a point under the ink's own where the ink has less to spare) and 0.07 off the ink in OKLab. Each ground, plain and focused, gets its own. A theme that names its tint keeps it exactly. Tests: every theme's chrome keeps both tints off the ink and legible; every theme draws a file's basename, +Errors and Tty+sh in a tint, focused or not. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

A focus change dims and brightens on the same spring, both ways

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

The pane focus left dimmed on its lift spring while the one it reached undimmed in a single frame, a pop the user could read as a flash. Now the focused pane fades back on the same spring (its body's text only: its tag and a selection are focus indicators no effect may alter), so a focus change is symmetric; Motion off snaps both. Measured on lapis with InactiveDim 35: the biggest frame-to-frame step of either half went from 3.4 levels in one frame to 1.5 (smooth) and 1.6 (bouncy), a ramp both ways.

Afterglow (G14) is removed

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

The user, looking at the lapis showcase: "one of the animations is like a flashing on the whole pane or something, that is really bad, just remove it". Every changed cell glowing meant a pane whose whole text changed (a file opened, a +Search refilled, a terminal's output) lit up at once: replacing a pane's text took its mean brightness from 38 to 70 and back over 250 ms. Gone like Ripple and Glitch: the builtin, the setting, its Chrome fx bit, the GUI's diff state and decor, the test, and the docs, which keep the user's words.

The focused cursor rides with a moving pane, and a focus change glides to the new one

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

G3's springs now keep the cursor's place in its pane: a pane that moves in the layout carries them, and the quad is drawn through the pane's presented box (its transition track), so through a slide, zoom or drag the cursor rides with the text, and with no transition it lands with it. A focus change, to another pane or into a column's or the workspace's tag, glides from where the cursor was drawn to the new place instead of snapping, unclamped while it crosses. While panes move the cursor is drawn as the overlay quad instead of vanishing (golden 18-mid-transition re-recorded for that: the only change is the quad, gliding into the new column's tag). Lapis: a tag plaque starts flush against its grip's button, the scroll gap between them part of the plaque, so grip and plaque read as one piece, on pane and column rows alike; below the button's row the grip keeps its band. Themes without plaques are unchanged (their grip band and tag band are one colour, no sliver).

T3: PanelCurtain wipes behind a soft edge two cells wide

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

The curtain's glyph slide becomes a wipe: the new grid behind a head that crosses the pane, the old ahead, and between them two columns whose colours step from the old ground to the new in OKLab (CharSource.edge). Only the head's columns change from frame to frame.

G14: Afterglow, changed text glows a moment and fades

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

Afterglow on|off (off, a pixel shell's; Chrome.fx bit 4): the GUI keeps the grid it last drew and when each cell changed; a body cell whose text changed glows in the theme's accent, at most 18% and under the text's contrast floor, fading with an ease-out over 250 ms, one flat rectangle a run of cells that changed together; never a tag or a grip, the cursor or a selection; a scrolled body (its first line moved) starts over rather than lighting up whole. On the continuous path while anything glows. Tests: three changed cells glow as a run of two (the cursor's left out), gone by 250 ms, a scroll lights nothing. Gates as before; goldens byte-identical. Feel review: .scratch/render/afterglow/.

G13: Parallax, lapis's dots drift with the text at a quarter of its speed

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

Parallax on|off (off, a pixel shell's; Chrome.fx bit 3). A body region carries its first line (Region.line, a file's scroll or a terminal's grid offset; the wire's region record grows a u32). The GUI offsets each body's page dots by a quarter of its line in rows, and of G6's glide offset while one runs, so the pattern drifts with the text and settles with it; the cell shader reads it from the instance's serial slot, whose per-cell dissolve noise G7 left unused (the dead noise code goes). Tests: a scrolled body tells its line; the shift handed to the shader is a quarter of it within the dots' period. Measured in a capture: four lines move the dots 13 px (140 px / 4 mod 22). Gates as before, goldens byte-identical. Feel review: .scratch/render/parallax/.
