A look at a directory opens a pane listing it, as acme's directory window: named dir/, its entries in acme's columns (bytewise, dotfiles kept, a directory's marked /), a look at an entry from there, Get or a look again reads it again, never dirty, Save refused; DirLook terminal keeps ls in a terminal

A command line runs as its own command pane unless it is clicked at a shell's prompt

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

A middle click, an exec write or a tag word that no builtin knows was typed into some terminal for the pane's directory, sharing whatever state that shell was in and answering nothing, so a misspelling vanished into a shell. Now only a line clicked at an interactive terminal's prompt is typed there. From anywhere else it runs as a command pane: a terminal whose child is $SHELL -c the line in the pane's directory, full emulation, which shows its output and then exit N from the host's reaping of the child, and stays. A finished command pane is the next command's for its directory, which runs below what it showed after a '% line' line (acme appends to +Errors and never clears it, util.c:213); a running one gets a second pane. Kill ends a command pane's whole process group, the log records run and exit, exec reads back the command pane's serial, and a line is at most 1 KB, read off the pane as the host forks rather than carried in every spawn effect. ttyForDir's search for a free shell is gone. The goldens of chordcut, cmdword and layout-open change where a file's exec now opens a command pane, and ttytaken is rewritten to exec from the terminal itself; docs/open-questions.md records the decision.

Make a pane's tag a Text edited with the body's own keys

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

The tag was a fixed buffer with its own one-line editor, a cursor measured across the path, and a hijack of the body's mode while it was typed into. It is now the pane's second Text: its own characters after the computed prefix (path, dirty marker, PDF page), which is never stored in it, so a rename or a dirty marker never moves its cursor. Normal and insert mode are the body's, undo included; `:` moves the keyboard between body and tag, the tag remembers its cursor and starts on Save, and executing a word from it hands the keyboard back. The mouse still sees the prefix: a sweep selects across it and a click on the path drafts a new name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Notices become tagline bands at the top of the body

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

A message, a leader chord and a prompt used to share one row of body text at the bottom of a pane, wearing the tagline font and nothing else about a tagline. Now each one is a TagLayer of its own, emitted through the same renderHeaderLayer the pane and column tags go through, so it gets the tagline height, the small-font metrics, the band offset and the border for free -- none of which a body-grid row can have by changing its font role. The text is right aligned. The prompt stays on the canonical grid because it owns a cursor, and a cursor has to sit on a real cell. The body starts BELOW the bands rather than under them, the way tree-sitter context rows already worked. Pane.body_offset is how many rows they took and Pardes.bodyTop(pane, rect) is the one place that answers "where does the body begin" -- replacing fifteen copies of `if (tag_bottom) r.y else r.y + BOX_H` spread across the paint, hit-test, scroll, PDF and image paths, which is what let the bands and the text under them come adrift. Every notice is painted on the grid as well, because the grid is what a terminal client draws and a band it cannot see is a message it never gets; the GUI skips grid cells a tag layer covers, so nothing is drawn twice. Three bugs the bands exposed, fixed here: - a prompt band flush with the right edge put its caret one column past the pane, which the detached wire refuses -- so every frame was dropped for as long as the prompt was open. The band now reserves that column. - a click on a band mapped to Sel row 0, which is the TAG row: clicking chrome expanded a word out of the tagline and ran it as a builtin. - a watched file reloading under the editor changed the core without going through update, so needs_frame was never set and the reload was never drawn. Pardes.invalidate() is the name for that, and the file and theme reloads call it. A session can now drive its own 9P namespace instead of being refused one: ownMountSuffix answers what a path names inside this editors own tree and resolve, readLimit and write serve it from memory rather than making the syscall that never returns. The match is anchored to whole components under the registrys 9p/pardes/, because a bare /pardes/ anywhere in a string would claim ~/src/pardes//README -- and, before write learned the same trick, write the trees bytes over the real file. readFileLimit and writeFile refuse instead, having no core to answer from. A toggle setting SETS when given `on` or `off` and only flips when it is bare, so the report LocationsConfig prints can be fed back as configuration and mean what it says. Snapshots: 97/98, from 0/98. The goldens were several commits stale and 17 scripts had stopped running; `config ` is a new script command that appends to the per-script startup config, so a script that clicks body coordinates pins `Verbose off` instead of counting the rows an announcement moves. nested-optout is left failing on purpose: two levels of nesting prepend vaxis F3 codepoints to typed lines, which is a real bug and is written down in docs/divergences.md with a repro.

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.

prioritize useful topbar commands and put Kill last

Look and Exec are builtins like any other

2026-08-01T18:02:08Z

Their only special feature is now the keys they are assigned. `Look main.zig` typed in a tag is the same look a right click is; config.look_cmd/exec_cmd point the two buttons and Enter/Tab at them, so retargeting Enter to Grep is one line. actOnSelection — a hand-written cascade with the builtin dispatch nested inside it — is gone, and the `button` parameter it threaded through five KEYBOARD call sites went with it. New syntax, spelled once in config.zig: @`ls -la` names a command to run rather than a file to open. Word expansion takes the quoted run whole, the way acme does for its own words, so a click inside one does not hand Look the fragment `ls`. And it nests: @`Look .` unwraps, re-enters the dispatcher, and looks at the directory. Guarded at depth 8, which is unreachable today (every re-entry strips a word or a delimiter pair, so the string strictly shrinks) and exists for a future syntax that does not shrink. leader_path is now optional: a builtin may have no SPC path when its shortcut is a key and a mouse button. New golden cmdword; the other 59 unmoved.
