Snapshots and GUI goldens run with the default Placement acme

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Their clicks follow the panes to where acme's placement puts them; doccol and splitparent stay on Placement pardes, which they cover. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

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

Focus on a closed pane goes to the pane that takes its place, never to the one focused before

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Dogfood closed a pane in one column and focus jumped to another column, only because that pane was focused last. Now removePane decides for every route (Del, a ctl del, a command pane's end, a 9P remove, a stillborn scratch replaced): the pane that grew into the rows, or the scratch standing in an emptied column; removeColumn gives it to the pane level with it in the column that takes the width. Closing an unfocused pane leaves focus alone. The per-caller focus lines in Del and replaceStillborn are gone, and so is prevFocus. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Replace a stillborn placeholder pane when a pane joins its column, and focus the pane a directional Del grows

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

A pane that joins a column whose only other pane is an untouched empty scratch (Newcol's, or the stand-in a closed column leaves) takes the column whole. Checked at the end of the step, since the pane that asked for the joiner is often the placeholder itself. Del k|j focuses the pane that took the rows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Ask from the keyboard which neighbour a closed pane's rows go to

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

Del takes a side: `Del k` gives the closed pane's rows to the nearest expanded pane above it, `Del j` to the one below, each falling back to the other side when it has none. DelAbove and DelBelow are those two lines, with no path of their own under SPC. A bare Del started from a key -- SPC d, Enter on the tag word, a row run from an output buffer -- on a pane with expanded panes both above and below asks instead of guessing. The question is a prompt like Save's or a search's (Pane.Prompt.del_side), so it is painted on the pane's notice band by the same path, and the next key answers it before any mode sees it: k or Up, j or Down, anything else keeps the pane, as does a click. Only a key press sets Pardes.can_ask, so a click, a 9P ctl or event write, a startup line, a restore and a shell exiting all close the pane at once, the rows going where layout.absorbVWeight has always sent them. A collapsed pane is not asked about (it has only a tag row to give), and collapsed neighbours are passed over (layout.expandedNeighbor, which Collapse now uses too). removePane and absorbVWeight take the recipient; every other caller passes null. Three scripts that closed a middle pane with SPC d answer k, which is where the rows went before, and their goldens are unchanged. delask.snap covers the question, Esc, j, a clicked DelBelow and a clicked Del.

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.

big slow change: prebuilt shaders (SPIR-V/Metal), core gui reflow, docs, web + snapshot refresh
