DumpConfig prints each setting as the ctl word that sets it, reads unsupported for one the frontend lacks, and includes LocationsConfig

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

The report meant to be feedable back as configuration, but several lines were not. Shell and Font each took three to six lines of "requested", "effective" and "pending". The transition read "Panel transition PanelSlide", with no Panel word. WindowOpacity and TaglineSize carried "(pending)" and "(build-time only)". A GUI-only toggle such as Ligatures was left out on the tty, and LocationsConfig was missing altogether. Now every line up to a blank one is a word and its value: - Shell ; - Font :; - one on/off line for each Panel word; - `unsupported` for a setting this frontend does not have; - LocationsConfig as it would be typed. After the blank line comes what is in effect but set by no word, phrased so that none of it starts with a ctl word. The test checks that each line before the blank one starts with a setting word. The GUI scripts that read the font lines (font_size.py, appearance_gallery.py) now read the new ones. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Config opens the startup file, DumpConfig the settings report, and the workspace tag reads Dump Themes Config Debug Exit

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

Config (SPC f c) opens init, found as the settings report finds it (opts.startup_config_path: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pardes/init or ~/.config/pardes/init, and the macOS and Windows paths config.md gives). A pane that already holds it is gone to instead; a file on disk is looked at; with none, an empty pane is named for it, and Save makes its directory and any above it first (File.make_dirs, fs.makeDirs) before writing. Without a configuration directory it says so and opens nothing. The report Config used to open, the startup path and every live setting, is DumpConfig, in a +DumpConfig pane. No alias keeps the old meaning. The workspace tag's default words put Themes where NextColor was, NextColor staying a builtin, and Config beside it. A tag the user edited is kept as it was: a dump stores only an edited one (topbar_custom), and a restore puts back only that. theme.snap types NextColor onto the workspace tag to click it, and tagnav's walk back to Dump takes five long-word steps. The rest of the re-recorded goldens differ in the workspace words and their widths only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

ThemeSel is Themes and FontSel is Fonts; the old words still work in init files and dumps

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

The user asked for the plainer words. Every use is renamed: the builtins, leader paths, /commands, the docs and tutor, tests, and the themesel golden, re-recorded. An init file's ThemeSel or FontSel runs the new word and says `ThemeSel: renamed to Themes`, as ColumnTags is said; a dump naming an output pane by the old word restores it.

A column can be empty, as acme's can; new panes go where acme's makenewwindow puts them

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Newcol makes an empty column; closing a column's last pane leaves it empty with the keyboard on its tag; Delcol and Joincol alone take a column away; the session's last pane closing quits. The +New stand-in and replaceStillborn / stillborn_joiner are gone. Every new pane goes through exec.placeNew, which follows acme's makenewwindow (active column, empty column whole, blank space, halving the biggest) or, with Placement pardes, the old rules. ColumnTags is gone: column tags are always shown. A grip drag shows acme's box cursor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Plan 9 idiom for the control filesystem, and the regressions a624a56 left

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

The 9P tree stops being a command language wearing a filesystem. /new created a pane as a side effect of a *read*; it is now Tcreate in /pane, with Tremove to close, which cloud9's engine has always supported and the editor never declared: tree.zig now says `features = .{ .create = true, .remove = true }`. Eleven pane ctl verbs become files that can be read as well as written -- dot, limit, dirty, mark, scroll, look, exec -- leaving ctl with `get`, the one verb no file would say better. Root /ctl splits into a read-only /status and the /look and /exec files whose write IS the click. stat carries real sizes where it used to answer 0, and qid versions track a pane's revision, so a client can poll for change without re-reading the body. Commit a624a56 moved raw-tty keys to an early-return branch that knew only Ctrl-B and bare Escape, and in the same edit deleted the paste branch below it. That cost Shift-Escape (the unconditional way out of tty mode) and both paste chords: Ctrl-V and Ctrl-Shift-V reached the child as keystrokes, so an agent CLI running in a pane took Ctrl-V for its image-paste binding and answered "No image found in clipboard". Both are restored, with tests. Nested detection was not subtly broken but deleted: 60367d8 removed nested.zig's process-ancestry walk and left "am I inside pardes" derived from PARDES_FORWARD_LOOK, which read "0" both for --nested and for "the listener did not come up". PARDES_PID now answers that question on its own, checked with kill(pid, 0); PARDES_9P and PARDES_PANE answer how to reach it; the flag is gone. The posted-9P registry also self-heals now -- a session that aborts cannot unlink its own socket, so posting sweeps entries whose target refuses a connection, symlinks only and on a definite ECONNREFUSED only. Elsewhere: tty scrolling is sticky-bottom, following new output only from the last row, with typing and entering raw mode snapping back to live; the boot layouts are a Boot enum instead of a chain of ifs, and the bare tty startup (Boot.tty, which main.zig names) opens an empty text pane under the shell while tests keep Boot.tty_shell; builtins announce themselves on the message row under a Verbose setting that is on by default; Config prints each setting the way you would type it back, so WindowOpacity 70 rather than "WindowOpacity: 70%"; LocationsConfig opens its window only when called bare; every tagline puts the word that closes the thing last, and a column now outlives its panes -- closing the last one leaves an empty pane, and only Delcol, newly on the column tagline, takes the column away.

Flatten the 9P control tree and move it out of fs.zig

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

The served tree loses the self/ level: /index /ctl /new /log /screen /listeners /pane//... /os, with /src only in -Dembed-sources=true builds (default off, on for esp32p4). ctl speaks the editor's own language with two lowercase verbs, look TEXT and exec TEXT, plus acme's addr verbs; the new/ factory directory becomes one clone file; cons is gone (exec Msg); name and sel are files; stats report real lengths, modes and mtimes; /log streams pane new/del/rename/save events. The tree code lives in src/ninep/ (tree, pane, ctl, addr, pty, events, screen, sources); fs.zig keeps host access, mounts, resolution and find/grep. Same engine and transports. README (fs-help.txt) and docs rewritten; tests updated and extended. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1

trunk: resume before the Reload experiment

2026-09-15T20:24:42Z

Empty marker on the last pre-Reload change. Keep the Reload experiment on reload (3801914), its first change on reload-start (200a1fc), and the unfinished performance investigation on reload-perf-wip.
