An image's or a terminal's tag says petscii:on when it is drawn as glyph art, as it always is with no graphics; Petscii on|off still chooses for when there are

The web build compiles again: a dump asks whether a picture is on disk only where there is a disk (fixes zkmtpmmq)

A dump no longer embeds a picture or a PDF that is on disk: Restore reads it from there, as a clean file's text is

2026-10-01T13:46:01Z

Every Dump carried each image's and PDF's bytes in base64 (a 900 KB PDF made a 1.3 MB dump), and a Restore showed that copy however the file had changed. One on disk now goes by its path alone; one not on disk (no file behind it) still has its bytes kept. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

A pane's ctl read says Collapse and a PDF's PdfFit and PdfTint (`collapsed`, `fit:height tint:full`), and a Dump keeps the PDF's two

2026-10-01T11:53:11Z

Neither showed in the tag or the ctl, and a Restore brought a PDF back at width fit and the default tint. The ctl read ends with `collapsed` when it is, and a PDF's `fit:` and `tint:` in the words PdfFit and PdfTint take; the dump's image record carries pdf_fit and pdf_tint (empty in older dumps: the defaults).

A terminal's kitty graphics draw as glyph art where pixels cannot, and by choice: Petscii on the pane, TermImages for new ones

2026-10-01T03:53:56Z

Under an outer terminal without kitty graphics a tty pardes cannot pass a terminal pane's images on, so it draws them itself as an image pane's Petscii does: each row of an image is matched to C64-palette glyph art over the cells it covers (GlyphArt.renderRect, the exact-grid half of GlyphArt.render), cached while it is on screen. yazi is still told the kitty protocol works, so it keeps sending its previews. The same art is a choice anywhere: the Petscii builtin now takes a terminal pane too (PaneKind.picture), flipping its images between pixels and glyphs, and a terminal holding images, or drawing them as glyphs by choice, says petscii:on|off in its tag as an image pane does. TermImages real|petscii (default real) is what a new terminal starts with; it is in DumpConfig, /ctl and the reference. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Dumps and init files from before 0.0.4 load no more of their old tag formats, and three orphan test scripts go

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

A2: a restored pane's tag tail comes from the dump's tag_tail, which every dump since 0.0.4 writes; the 27 earlier default tails that were recognised to upgrade, restoreTail, tailClass, savedPrefix and restoreTailAt, pdf_view's and image's legacySavedPrefix, a terminal's TTY tag prefix and its raw output tail replay, and the ThemeSel, FontSel and ColumnTags words (init lines and dumped output names) go, with their tests; the CHANGELOG says so. A4: test/fs_soak.py, referenced nowhere (monkey9p.py does its work). A6: test/column_grip.py and test/look_placement.py, referenced nowhere; the six review scripts docs/ui-review.md names stay.

A look at a corrupt image fails with an err rather than open a blank pane

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

An image stb_image could not read opened as an empty image pane, the look succeeding. The bytes' header is now checked at the look (stbi_info_from_memory), and one that is no image it reads fails the look, look: : not an image pardes can read, making no pane. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Paint into a target Surface instead of swapping the frame's out

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

The painters of a pane's body and tag (renderBody and its selection, gutter, syntax, ANSI and wrap-marker passes; paintPaneTag; paintHeaders; renderPane; the image and PDF grid paths) take the Surface they paint as a parameter. The body layer and the tag layers paint straight into their own temporary surfaces, and the std.mem.swap of p.surface around those calls is gone. No behaviour change.

Move the Image pane namespace out of panes.zig into image.zig

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

Pure move: the body of `pub const Image = struct { ... }` now sits at the end of image.zig, dedented, under a "the image pane" banner, so the image thing (decoding, glyph art, and the pane that shows it) is one file. Its nine `image.X` self-references lose the prefix; image.zig gains the four imports the pane code uses. panes.zig keeps `pub const Image = @import("image.zig");`, so `panes.Image.x` callers are unchanged. image.zig joins the embedded source list, since the pane code left panes.zig which was on it.

Refactor panes and filesystem; replace FUSE with 9P

2026-09-07T16:59:12Z

Consolidate pane, layout, memory and host code. Serve 9P by default over Unix sockets, with runtime mounts and optional TCP/QUIC transports. Remove FUSE and obsolete proof-of-concept examples. Fix highlighting and terminal-history performance, expand differential and stress-test infrastructure, sort navigation results while preserving the next occurrence, add syntax-colored Braille minimaps, remove SPC-k, and document 9P interaction as a repository skill.
