pardes.git/test, branch main

Clicks in the site's clips stop, then click in place with a ring; the hero opens on all three panes; new clips show the PDF and image panes; the Themes gallery has a shot of every theme

record_demos.py: a click glides to its target, stops, and presses and releases with the pointer still (a ring and the button's name on the press, a pulse after), pausing before anything moves. The hero's README, main.c and output pane are all up from its first frame. pdf-navigation and pdf-tint-fit page the Intel SDM vol. 2 (--pdf, read where it is): PdfSections to CPUID, a search stepped with n, PdfTint's three looks, PdfFit both ways and a page address. image-pane opens a Mandelbrot PNG the script draws, then Petscii. `record_demos.py themes` shoots one scene in each theme of src/themes, in the Themes order, into docs/site/media/themes with themes.toml (ready).

Builtins are written by name: each chapter and the tutor define Look and Exec once and then say Look and Exec; the cheatsheet draws every mouse button as its icon; one-button clicks (Alt is B2, Super is B3) are in the guide and cheatsheet; building says how to send patches to the list

Scripts find the session as m=\$PARDES_MOUNT, else 9p; SPC q quits; upper keeps a selection's newline and its tag words once; the reference takes line files, init errors, dumps, dials and Save on +Tutor

The documentation site's landing page has four short silent clips in docs/site/media, recorded from a hidden test window by test/record_demos.py

2026-10-01T15:24:31Z

text-is-the-interface, terminals-are-panes, scripting-over-9p and diff-review: each a webm (VP9), an mp4 (H.264, faststart) and a poster PNG at 960 px, with captions.txt. The script drives a PARDES_TEST session on the virtual clock through stdin mouse events, keys and 9P, keeps the settled frame after each step, draws the pointer and loops each clip with a dissolve back to its first frame.

The docs give back the day-one lines the trim cut, the tutor becomes exercises on a +Tutor copy, the README builds the GUI and says what a terminal needs, and Shift-Esc says it needs the kitty keyboard protocol

SPC q runs Exit, refused once over unsaved panes as the tag word is, as helix's :q

Every pane pardes spawns gets $PARDES_MOUNT, the session's own directory under 9ns --mntgen ($NINE_MOUNT/pardes/), unset when it is not known

2026-10-01T14:10:37Z

9ns says --mntgen with NINE_MNTGEN=1 (cloud9). Under `9ns --unix` the mount is the server it dialled, never this session (its socket does not exist until it starts), so it stays unset there; scripts fall back to `9p -a "unix!$PARDES_9P"`. Nothing is statted: the name comes from the session's socket and the environment. selfmount checks both modes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

`> exec` through a mount no longer hangs the editor, and a close holding a last line is answered at once: the line runs at the editor's next step

2026-10-01T14:09:59Z

A shell's truncating open of exec (or look, ctl, log, pager) sends a setattr that changes nothing; it waited for the editor to be quiet, and through a 9ns mount that quiet could never come: 9ns answers nothing else on the mount while the setattr is out, and the editor's step may be out reading a pane's file through it. This was the "truncating open of exec hangs, only in selfmount" mystery. Only a truncate of a pane's file or a tag waits now. A close holding a last line with no newline hands it to the editor's step (tree.runClosedLines, beside fillClosedPagers), as a /pager close does, and is answered at once; a refusal is the log's err.

`pardes --wait` whose $PARDES_9P no longer answers says the session is gone, exit 1, instead of drawing a screen of its own in the asker's terminal

A dump no longer embeds a picture or a PDF that is on disk: Restore reads it from there, as a clean file's text is

2026-10-01T13:46:01Z

Every Dump carried each image's and PDF's bytes in base64 (a 900 KB PDF made a 1.3 MB dump), and a Restore showed that copy however the file had changed. One on disk now goes by its path alone; one not on disk (no file behind it) still has its bytes kept. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
