pardes.git/src/web.zig, branch release-0.24

Alt/Option-click is B2 and Super/Cmd-click is B3, sweeps included, as in plan9port: a one-button trackpad can execute and look

2026-10-01T15:58:23Z

The core decides it at the press (mouse.emulateButton) and keeps it to the release, whatever keys are let go between. Ctrl-click stays a definition, and a program tracking the mouse still gets the plain click (Alt as its meta, Super as nothing). The SDL, macOS and web shells now pass Super; the macOS and web shells pass Alt on a click too. A terminal's mouse report has no Super bit, so in a terminal only Alt-click is B2.

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.

Step core animation by the shell's clock and sleep to the next wake

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

A shell now answers Host.now, its monotonic clock in ns, and the pump advances core animation to it: one .tick per whole 16 ms frame since core time last stood still. The same animation therefore takes the same time at 60, 120 and 144 Hz, over ssh and after a slow frame (the GUI's re-armed clock ran them ~25% slow at 144 Hz; the tty's post-frame sleep drifted). nextWake() lists every core animation in one place: a frame from now while anything moves, the end of the wait while something only waits (a message lingering, the look-hover delay), null when idle. Shells sleep exactly that long, and a wait is jumped to its end in one step, so an 800 ms linger costs one frame instead of fifty. An overshoot under 1.5 ms after a step is let go: at 60 and 120 Hz every display frame takes exactly one step (a 16 ms frame against a 16.67 ms vsync would otherwise double-step every 24th). The six tick drivers are gone: tty's timer thread only times the wait, interruptibly (a newer, shorter request cuts short a sleep still timing a longer one); the GUI's AnimationClock, web's JS tick bank (pardes_tick now takes rAF's timestamp), the detached server's and the board's ticks; grid mode steps a virtual clock straight to each wake. PARDES_TEST_CLOCK, set by the snapshot harness, gives tty and the detached server the same virtual clock. Every stepped frame is drawn. The old pump never drew the last frame of a fade (a .tick asks for no frame, and the fade was over by the check), so a theme switch stopped at 9/10 of the way until the next input: theme.golden, themesel.golden and the GUI's acme-light scene move to the theme's true colours, and nothing else changes. The frozen previous grid is captured only while a panel transition is chosen, not on every idle frame.

Move saving and loading a whole editor out of pardes.zig into dump.zig

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

Pure move, no behaviour change (acme keeps dump and load in rows.c): dumpState, restore, initFromDump and initDump go verbatim to the end of dump.zig, after the dump format they read and write. Inside dump.zig the moved code's `dump.` prefix drops, so `Pane` there is the dump record; the one editor pane it names is spelled `pardes.panes.Pane`, and its other `panes.X` references become `pardes.panes.X` because dump.zig's own tests use `panes` as a local name. The methods become free functions taking `p: *Pardes`: `p.dumpState()` becomes `dump.dumpState(p)`, `core.restore(bytes)` becomes `dump.restore(core, bytes)` and `Pardes.initFromDump(..)` becomes `dump.initFromDump(..)`, in pardes.zig, the shells, layout.zig, Terminal.zig, builtins.zig and the tests (38 receiver rewrites plus the initFromDump calls). The tag-tail restore helpers stay with the tag code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Move the mouse out of pardes.zig into mouse.zig

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

Pure move, no behaviour change: handleMouse with dragUpdate, dragRelease, seamIdxAt, reportGesture, gestureRange, dispatchPointerBuiltin, mirrorTtySelection and chordCutPaste, the pointer hit helpers (bodyHitForPane, sameTagCell, tagColumn, sameBodyCell), chromeTarget with ChromeTarget, paneAt, the Drag state type with clampBorderCol/Row, the seam test fixtures and thirteen pointer and drag tests go verbatim to mouse.zig. The methods become free functions taking `p: *Pardes`; their 36 call sites change from `p.handleMouse(..)` to `mouse.handleMouse(p, ..)`, including web.zig's chromeTarget and macos.zig's paneAt. The Mouse event type stays in pardes.zig with the rest of the event vocabulary. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Center tagline bands, frame anchors evenly, fill to the window edge, and resize columns from their grip

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

Every tag band (workspace, column, pane) is centred in its row, so text sits at one baseline offset. Anchors are inset from the column rule by that same margin, so they are square and the band frames them on the left, top and bottom; the pane mark moves to stay centred. When the window is not a whole number of cells, the bands, rules, spines and scroll thumbs at the right and bottom edges run on through the leftover pixels. A column grip dropped short of another column's place now moves the column's left edge, with a dashed rail preview, sharing setColumnPairWidth with the border drag. A release still on the grip changes nothing, and a pair too narrow for two MINW columns is left alone. PARDES_TEST_PAD adds leftover pixels to a test-mode window and capture.

Make the macOS shell a first-class host

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

Pty children are exec'd with their own TERM/COLORTERM/TERM_PROGRAM instead of inheriting a .app launch's empty environment, and ttyTaken finally answers on darwin — libproc walks the tty's foreground process group — so Escape reaches the child and Exec stops believing every pane sits at its prompt. The occupancy suite runs on both platforms now. The workspace tag row moves into the native menu bar as a Builtins menu. -Dworkspace-tag (default off for -Dplatform=macos, on everywhere else) drives it, and Pardes.topBarHeight replaces the TOPBAR_H constant so the core stops reserving the row. The view pins every variable-font axis to the file's own default (Maple Mono came up Thin otherwise), shapes ligatures, carries per-shape pointer cursors, and draws the look-hover affordance as refracted glass. Tag rows fill edge to edge, with the anchor box painted back on top of that fill and its mode glyph centred on the same square. Theme accents re-saturated across the set.
