The PDF benches share their clock, fatal exit, hash, count parser and effect drain, and lspprobe is lspbench's probe subcommand

B4: test/bench_util.zig holds what pdf_bench, pdf_pointer_bench, pdf_scroll_bench and pdf_sections_bench each copied (nowNs x4, fatal x3 named per bench, mix x3, parsePositive/parseCount x3, drainEffects x2). They stay four entry points: pdf_bench links its own mupdf module (with its C source and c_heap) where the others link the core's, which one executable cannot import under one name, and their reports and identities are each bench's own. pdf_sections_bench had rotted since the pane's cursor and selections moved to its body and the render revision became next_raster_revision; it builds and runs again. C6: tools/lspprobe.zig is lspbench's `probe` subcommand (zig build lspbench -- probe :), and the lspprobe build step goes; docs/lsp.md names the new command. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Repaint PDF highlights by row, send rasters by shared memory, and animate messages

PDF highlights (hover preview, search, selection) are baked into page rasters, and any change re-rendered the whole page with MuPDF; the TTY then re-sent it as base64 (4.7 MB a page), the GUI as a new texture. Worse, a pointer motion over a PDF invalidated the page even when no preview was shown, so every motion paid that. Now: - A raster whose baked highlight set equals the wanted one is left alone. - A highlighted page keeps its clean rows (before highlights and tint); a change repaints only the rows of quads that differ, running MuPDF's highlight pass (pardes_pdf_paint_highlights) over those clean rows and tinting them: the operations a full render performs, so the pixels are identical. MuPDF band renders are NOT bit-identical to a whole page (edge rows, resampled images), so they are never used to patch; the comment claiming otherwise is corrected. - ImagePlace.patch hands shells the changed rows; the GUI uploads just those rows into the texture it holds. - The TTY probes kitty shared memory (t=s) with an id vaxis never reaches and sends rasters as a /dev/shm name when the terminal reads it; direct base64 otherwise (ssh). - Shells that take row patches (GUI, TTY with shm) repaint a selection while it is dragged instead of only on release. Latency elsewhere: - TTY: an animating frame no longer sleeps 16 ms blind; a tick thread posts into the input queue, so input inside the frame is handled at once. - TTY and GUI: queued pointer motions coalesce to the last. - GUI: a skipped swapchain image re-arms the frame (3 retries); animations still tick while nothing presents. - Editing: the line index is carried across an edit instead of rebuilt from a scan of the whole file per keystroke. Messages fall into their row (ease-in; the GUI slides the band out from under the tagline, a terminal fades it), stay until the next input as before, linger MessageLinger ms (default 800), and dissolve (ease-out). MessageAnimation toggles it; both are settings, in Config and startup files. The snapshot harness pins the old behaviour. The detached server now ticks animations. A restored terminal comes back live: the old screen and scrollback (dumped as clean VT by ghostty's formatter, replayed at the new size; older dumps fall back to their rendered text), a dim "restored history" marker, then a new shell in the directory it was in. Right-click on a line number in a file pane looks at that line (a sticky context header's number included). Measured with an external pty driver (TTY), an in-process fence trace (GUI, PARDES_TEST_LATENCY), and test/pdf_pointer_bench.zig (pixel identity against the baseline and a whole-page oracle); balanced A/A/B rounds, paired per-round statistics. Messages stack: each event gets its own row and its own fall, linger and dissolve; a line keeps its row until it leaves and a new one fills the first free row. Announcements and statuses are replaced in place, not stacked. MessageFall, MessageDissolve and DumpDir are settings Config reports. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context)
