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

Snapshots leave out a blank cell's ink, which shows nowhere and the tty now keeps from the frame before

Rules and chrome scale with the display's density; dark pages get visible separators and focus tints

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

Density: dp() in gui.zig draws every size given in pixels in logical pixels (SDL's window display scale, rounded, at least one), as acme scales Border, ButtonBorder and Scrollgap: the rules (rule_px), the tag rule, the grip's ring, its dirty gap and mode bars, the rail's gap to the text and its minimum, the thumb's inset, the rim, a bar cursor's minimum width, underline and strikethrough thickness (the atlas is dropped on a scale change), the rule-grab margin, and the Crt's scanline and mask periods (pardesScale in the post prefix). Cell- and tagline-measured sizes stay: the rail's width, Lift's blur and offsets, every motion; iResolution, fragCoord and iMouse stay in the display's pixels, as ghostty's. PARDES_TEST_SCALE forces a density in a harness (a test window is 1x otherwise, whatever display it lands on) and sizes the test font with it. Colours: a separator that stands off its page by less than 1.5:1 is lifted toward the text to 1.6:1 (helix, atelier, paper; a theme with no page, dark, is judged against #121212), and empty_col follows it. forge's own rule already stands at 3.83:1; what hid it was density: 2 device pixels on a 3x screen, now 6 (dp). A focused tag's tint closer than 1.5:1 to the plain tag on a dark page (1.25:1 on a light one) is pushed further the way it leans, as far as its text keeps its own contrast or 4.5: forge 1.23 -> 1.51 (#2d3440 -> #374253), and likewise dusk, orchard, ink, lagoon, clay, harvest, spectrum, solarium, forge_soft; daybreak, atelier, paper to 1.25. dark and helix gain a tint of their own (dark: #484566 under #c8c8c8, 1.54:1; helix: ramp 237 under 250, 1.65:1). Tag caret: past a full row's end, the G3 glide box sits on the tag's right edge, where the layer's caret and the pixel shell's are. Tests: every native theme's separator >= 1.5 and every dark one has a tint >= 1.25 with readable text; forge keeps its own border; the tag caret glide box at a full row; at 2x the spine, tag rule, ring, rail start and gap, and bar cursor double. Legacy-ThemeFile test strips helix's new pair. Goldens: snapshot goldens change in colour rows only, the tints (orchard #283a2f -> #314738 at boot, forge, helix and dark in theme/themesel). GUI goldens: the harness's single Del of the renamed wide pane is refused since ysqnkyoy (a rename counted as unsaved; fixed on the 9P line in wkzlsqvy), so scenes 09-17 were recorded with that pane open and the file was stale since the merge (08 and 18 also moved with ykvnltvs's full-row tag wrap). The goldens here were recorded with that pane closed (as wkzlsqvy will close it); against the parent's binary under the same conditions they differ only in the tints: 01-13 forge's (#2d3440 -> #374253, and the glyph edges on it), 14 ink's; 15-18 are byte-identical. Until wkzlsqvy is merged, a run here fails 09-17. Each commit reproduces its own recorded goldens on this machine (checked at kvtmqkyn). A test window is 1x unless PARDES_TEST_SCALE says otherwise, whatever display it opens on. Prebuilt shaders refreshed from their sources.

A tag that exactly fills its row stays one row, as acme's does

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Tags wrapped one cell early to keep a cell for the caret past a full row, so a tag that exactly filled its column broke as De / l. acme's frame wraps a box only when it is wider than what the row has left, and frptofchar clamps the tick past a full line's end to the frame's edge. Tags now wrap at their full width; the caret past a full row sits at the tag layer's edge, and on the pane's last cell in a terminal grid, which has none past it. Two tiny-screen tests collapse their tags, as the others do, and the 41 goldens that moved were re-recorded by name after the same check: rows shift back up under the shorter tags and nothing else changes. chordcut's file-body clicks moved back with them.

Merge: 9P round 6 + empty columns + render (acme theme, grips, Lift, Motion)

A pane tag wraps onto rows and can collapse to one, as acme's does

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

acme's frame wraps a tag at its right edge and the window grows to show every row (wind.c wintaglines); Tagup/Tagdown shrink it to one row and back. Pane tags used to be one row, scrolled sideways to the caret. Now a tag's lines wrap at its width (one cell kept for the caret past a full row) and it starts expanded; insert-mode Up on the first row collapses it, Down on the last row expands it, and Alt-Up/Alt-Down do so in either mode. A word the wrap breaks across rows is still one word to a click and a selection. Column and workspace tags keep scrolling sideways. Tests read body rows relative to the body's first row; the 41 snapshot goldens that moved were re-recorded by name after a programmatic check that each differs only by body rows shifting under the taller tags, and twelve scripts whose clicks targeted fixed rows now click the same text.

A terminal's Tty word names its shell, Tty+fish, and a click on it opens another

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

A terminal's tag said Tty whatever shell it ran. The host's acknowledgement of the shell it forked now sets the word to Tty+, tinted like the tag's name. Word+arg is taken as Word arg, one word a tag can hold and a click can take whole (+ is a word character), so Tty+fish opens a terminal on fish, as Tty fish does; Tty takes the shell as its argument, which the host forks for that pane instead of the configured one. Every snapshot whose screen shows a terminal's tag changes: 69 goldens, re-recorded by name, whose 297 changed lines are all Tty becoming Tty+bash (the harness runs bash), the cursor columns and style spans that moved with it, or that text cut at a pane's width.

Exit quits and Kill stops commands, as in acme

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

Kill quit the editor, which in acme is Exit; acme's Kill stops the commands it started. Exit now quits as acme's does (exec.c, rowclean): it refuses once, naming each pane with unsaved text, and quits when asked again with nothing edited since (a small scratch is not asked about). Kill, bare or with names, stops the commands pardes typed into a terminal (an exec, a middle click, a pty/run) while their shell's marks say they run, by SIGTERM to the terminal's foreground job, never to the shell (acme posts the kill note, which terminates). Both are session builtins; the topbar's Kill becomes Exit, same width, and every golden's topbar row changed by exactly that word (checked line by line); the builtins script scrolls one more row for the index's new line.

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

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

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)

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.
