| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bugs go with them Nine read-only scouts compared every host-side concern across `src/macos.zig`, `src/tty/tty.zig`, `src/gui/gui.zig` and `src/detached/server.zig`. What they found was not a style problem: each duplicated body had drifted, and in every case the drift WAS a bug the users of that shell could see. So the fixes and the deduplication are the same change. **One PATH, adopted before the first fork.** LaunchServices hands a bundle launchd's environment, whose `PATH` is `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`. Every pty shell, `|` filter and language server the app forked inherited it, so `yazi` in `/opt/homebrew/bin` was absent from a Dock launch and present in the identical binary run from a terminal — the "it worked briefly" window was simply the sessions started from a shell. `shell_bin.adoptSystemPath` composes `/etc/paths` then `/etc/paths.d/*` in the order `path_helper` reads them, deduplicating on first occurrence, and runs once at startup in all four native hosts. It APPENDS: an entry already present keeps its position, so running it over a real session cannot demote a mise shim behind `/usr/bin` and silently change which `node` runs. A `PATH` that was configured is left byte-for-byte alone; only one nobody configured is repaired. `prepareForFork` folds that adoption together with the prompt-rc staging and the `BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING` setenv the five hand-copied prefork sites had between them — `server.zig` had none of it, which is why every detached pane opened with Apple's zsh banner. **The LSP protocol client never worked on macOS.** It opened its control socket with `libc.SOCK.CLOEXEC`; Zig defines that constant for Linux and Darwin answers `socketpair` with `EPROTONOSUPPORT`, so the call failed before any fork, `ensure` returned `error.NoServer`, and every row in the spec table — rust-analyzer, clangd, gopls — was unreachable in every macOS build. The in-process ZLS backend kept answering, which is what made it read as "only Zig is supported". It is a plain socket plus `fcntl(FD_CLOEXEC)` now, the route `fuse.zig:943` and `nested.zig:95` already took for the same reason. The snapshot suite that covered this path had never run natively on a Mac: the harness targets defaulted to x86_64-linux. **One LSP host worker.** `src/lsp_host.zig` is the snapshot, the worker body and the job lifetime that `tty.zig` and `gui.zig` carried verbatim — `gui.zig` said so in a comment — and that `macos.zig` did not carry at all: `lsp` and `pipe` were absent from its `Host.VTable`, so the core answered its own empty answer, `SPC l i` rendered a blank panel and a `|` filter silently did nothing. All three shells share the module, and the AppKit host implements both effects. Its status sink is now REGISTERED as well as defined, so unsolicited server news reaches the message row instead of nowhere. **The animation clock measures time.** `pardes_animation_tick` advanced one scene frame per callback and published `frame_count / 60`, so scene time was a count of callbacks rather than elapsed seconds — and `AppDelegate` re-armed `asyncAfter(.now() + 0.016)` only after the previous frame's work had finished, making the true period 16 ms plus all of it. Motion ran at about three quarters of wall clock and unevenly. The tick now spends measured monotonic time in whole `frame_ns` steps and banks the remainder, so a late callback advances two frames instead of stretching one; `spendTickTime` is that arithmetic as a pure function with its own tests and no display attached. On macOS 14+ the animating run is one `CADisplayLink` phase-locked to vsync rather than a chain rebuilt after every frame; macOS 13 keeps the old chain. **Three more single definitions.** `panel_animation.paintOrder` is the moving-then-opening-then-closing composite order as a rule the core applies once in `Pardes.render` — `macos.zig` was re-sorting an already-sorted list. `selection_pipe.Tasks` is the bounded in-flight pipe table `tty.zig` and `gui.zig` each declared. `boxContains` was a fourth copy of the half-open cell test and is now an alias of `Box.contains`. **A filtered terminal stops asking libm per cell.** `Filter`'s legibility stage called `RGB.contrast` for every painted cell, and that ends in `std.math.pow` up to six times, re-deriving a ratio against a background that had not moved; the existing memo cache covered the palette reduction beside it and never this. The indexed path's input is a `u8`, so all 256 answers are enumerated once per pass — after the default roles are fixed, before the first cell is read — and what a cell names becomes an array index. Only truecolour still reduces. ReleaseFast, 190x56, Tracy: recolour 3.09 ms -> 0.130 ms, frame 3.37 ms -> 0.299 ms. The comptime luminance table is pinned to `RGB.luminance` and `RGB.contrast` by exact-equality test over every channel value and all 65 536 palette pairs, because the decision is a threshold comparison where one ULP is a different colour. A `filterInit` Tracy zone records the part that is still per-pass: 2.9 us warm against a 117 us pass, which is the measurement that says not to cache it across frames. Released as 0.0.2. `build.zig.zon` carries the version into `pardes --version` and into the `Changelog` pane through `@embedFile`, so the entries above open a `## 0.0.2` section and `## 0.0.1` closes with the tagline work of the parent commit. Two bugs here were mine, caught by review rather than by me: a double free in the macOS pipe drain arm (`Msg.free` already owns the response) that segfaulted the app on the first `|`, and a proposed `getRowAndCell` optimisation that targeted 2 of 43 draw samples while the contrast math beside it took 12 — and would not have compiled. The profile that justified it was a Debug build, which `build.zig:1160` already documents as ~5x slower than release. Native and -Dplatform=macos suites: 0 failures. All targets build with Tracy on and off; the shipped release binary contains no `___tracy_emit_zone_begin`. App reinstalled, signature verified, dmg regenerated, launched with 0 crash reports; installed binaries verified byte-identical to a fresh build.
* build: pardes builds without the ESP32-P4 toolchain checkout beside itGabriel Schneider2026-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `build.zig.zon` named `../05-zig-p4` as a path dependency, and `build.zig` `@import`ed it inside `if (-Desp32p4-firmware)`. But `@import` in a build script is resolved when the SCRIPT is compiled, not when the branch that needs it is taken -- so naming the package at all meant anyone without that sibling checkout could not build pardes AT ALL. Not the firmware: the terminal shell, the SDL shell, the tests. `zig build` failed with build.zig:1073: error: no module named 'zig_p4' available within module 'root.@build' from a line inside an `if` that was false. Neither escape hatch works for a PATH dependency, and both were tried rather than assumed. `.lazy = true` is about FETCHING; a path dep whose directory is absent is generated as a package with no `build.zig` rather than one marked unavailable, so `b.lazyImport` -- which exists for exactly this and is what the standard library says is to `@import` what `lazyDependency` is to `dependency` -- reaches a `@compileError` instead of returning null. Making it a fetched dependency instead is not available either: the toolchain has no remote. So the duplicate goes. That build tree's firmware block linked an image the toolchain repository already knows how to link -- its own build.zig has `-Dpardes`, `-Dapp=<root>` and `-Dpardes-obj=<path>`, and its comments record having learned this same lesson from the other direction, where nesting pardes's ~30-package graph under it broke every build there. The object is the seam: it crosses by PATH and never by package, and each repository builds what it owns the pieces of. zig build -Dplatform=esp32p4 # here, no toolchain needed zig build -Dpardes # there, the console image zig build -Dpardes -Dapp=<pardes>/src/esp32p4_9p.zig # there, the 9P image For the second and third to work with no module map, `src/board9p.zig` and the 9P firmware root now reach the codec by PATH instead of through a named `ninep` module that only pardes's own build.zig knew to inject -- which is also why the root moved from `src/esp32p4/nine.zig` up to `src/esp32p4_9p.zig`, beside `src/esp32p4.zig`: a path import may not escape its module's own directory. Both files are now self-contained, and `zig test src/board9p.zig` works with no flags. `-Desp32p4-port`, `-Desp32p4-prof` and `-Desp32p4-cpu-mhz` go with the block. An option this build cannot honour is worse than no option, because it accepts the flag and then ignores it; all three are spelled the same way in the toolchain. Verified by moving ../05-zig-p4 out of the way: `zig build`, `zig build -Dplatform=esp32p4` and `zig build unit-test` all pass without it. With it back, the toolchain still links both images -- console 812,720 B, 9P 88,096 B. next-steps.txt gains the six features the 9P chain shipped.
* One core behind N frontends, the board's own runner moved in, and every ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | board cap on one screen ## The wire is the effect stream, not a new protocol `pardes --detach` leaves a core running with no terminal; `pardes --attach` is a frontend that owns a terminal and a socket and nothing else. N frontends on one core all look at the same screen — `screen -x`, not N sessions. The codec (`src/detached/wire.zig`) carries exactly one `Event` or one `Host.VTable` call per message. That is not a coincidence and it is why there is no third vocabulary to keep in step: the core's IO seam was already a struct of function pointers with plain-data arguments, so a socket is a legal implementation of it. `nested.zig`'s socket could not be reused — it carries a builtin command line, and a command line cannot carry a frame. ARCHITECTURE-NEUTRAL on purpose, not as decoration. The frontend on the far end may be riscv32-freestanding on the ESP32-P4 while the core is x86_64 Linux, so every field is an explicit little-endian fixed width and no message is a blit of a native struct. A protocol that only works between two builds of the same compiler would have thrown away the one frontend that motivated it. ## The board comes in; its toolchain stays out `src/p4.zig` becomes `src/esp32p4.zig`, and the pardes half of `../05-zig-p4` — the vaxis-over- serial runner, the UART editor terminal, the keystroke rescue ring, the on-die test suite — moves into `src/esp32p4/`. `build.zig.zon` gains `.zig_p4 = .{ .path = "../05-zig-p4" }`, so `zig build -Dplatform=esp32p4 -Desp32p4-firmware` builds, flashes, monitors and self-tests the board from this repo's `build.zig`. The DIVISION is the point. What moved is what only pardes wants: the runner that drives a pardes core over a serial line. What stayed is everything a second project would also want — the HAL, the register/radio/oracle layers, the linker script, `_start`. `zig_p4` declares no dependencies of its own and its `build()` early-returns when it is not the root package, so this costs the package graph exactly zero packages and the editor's own builds nothing at all. ## limits.zig: nine forgettable places become one budget Nine `platform == .esp32p4` capacity tests lived in nine files. They were never nine decisions — they are ONE decision, how much memory this build may spend, taken nine times where no reader could see the total. `src/limits.zig` puts the whole budget on one screen with every cap named against what it is measured against, derived from two booleans. The payoff is testability on a machine that is not the board: the caps are ordinary comptime values, so a host build can be compiled against the board's numbers and the parking, eviction and clamping paths a 240 KiB core takes get exercised by the normal test suite instead of only over a UART. ## A bare `zig build` `zig build` with no arguments now builds the tty and GUI binaries and installs them into `~/.local/bin`, and says so once on stdout with the flag that overrides it. The old default built one binary into `zig-out` — a path nothing on a `PATH` ever looks at, which made "build it" and "use it" two different commands for no reason.

* multiple cursors, regex selection, and Ctrl-c commentsGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The primary cursor stays exactly where it was — cur_row/cur_col plus vsel — and sels[] holds helix's OTHER ranges. That split is why nothing moved at one cursor: with nsel == 0 not one line of the existing motion, operator, render or mouse code takes a different branch, which is what protects 800 differential cases and 67 goldens. paneRanges/setPaneRanges are the whole list; setPaneRanges IS helix's Selection::new (min width 1, sorted, overlaps merged, primary follows its range through a merge). An ordinary key runs the single-selection handler once per range, visited last-first so an edit never disturbs a range still waiting, and each finished pass is remembered as a distance from the END of the text, which an earlier edit cannot move — helix's change mapping without a change map. pushUndo fires once per keystroke, yanks accumulate, and a builtin acts from the primary and stops the replay, which also closes the use-after-free window if it frees the pane. s and S reuse the / prompt wholesale rather than growing a second one: the pattern is typed into the tag tail, and every keystroke re-runs the match from the selection the prompt opened on, so the preview is live and Esc is just the empty pattern. mvzr does runtime patterns — a bytecode VM in a fixed-size struct with no allocator — with 64 ops and 8 char classes per pattern, no case-insensitive flag (helix's smart case is done by folding a scratch copy), no captures, no multi-line anchors. The last two are the two waivers. Ctrl-c is a whole-list key and not a per-cursor replay, because helix decides comment-vs-uncomment ONCE for the whole selection; replaying it would take that decision n times. Comment tokens are a table in config.zig keyed on the same extension syntax.zig picks grammars by. Found and fixed a pre-existing single-cursor bug on the way: la<bs><esc> left the cursor one cell before where the append began. helix's restore_cursor can never walk past the origin; ours backed up unconditionally. hxdiff was green before AND after — the old one-selection contract could not see it. hxdiff 360 -> 481 cases, hxparity 440 -> 561, all goldens from real helix; the harness contract now reports every range and its primary, omitted when there is one, so 359 of the 360 old goldens are byte-identical. The one that moved is o-count: helix's 2o really does leave two cursors and could not say so before.
* lsp backend: ZLS as an in-process libraryGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The seam's `query` now calls ZLS's analyser directly, on the worker thread, in this process. There is no zls binary, no subprocess, no JSON-RPC, no `initialize` handshake and no `Server` — `gd` is a function call whose answer comes back as rows. ZLS's build.zig already publishes its guts as an importable module (`b.modules.put("zls", ...)`), so this is a path dependency on the local 0.16.x checkout plus one new file, `src/lsp_zls.zig`. Construction is ZLS's own (tests/analysis_check.zig does exactly this): InternPool.init -> DiagnosticsCollection -> DocumentStore struct literal -> Analyser.init. `zig_exe_path` is null on purpose — shelling out to the compiler is the thing this backend exists to avoid — and `zig_lib_dir` is baked in from `b.graph.zig_lib_directory`, so `gd` on `std.mem.count` opens the same mem.zig the compiler used, with ZIG_LIB_DIR overriding at runtime. Offsets are `.@"utf-8"`, not ZLS's utf-16 default: `+Search` rows are byte columns and we are not on a wire. Seventeen probes, seventeen answering, no false claims, 5.9 MiB peak RSS. The features that were already Server-free are calls (hover, document symbols, code actions); the ones welded to `*Server` are reimplemented thin on top of public primitives — goto is gotoHandler minus the protocol, diagnostics is the in-process `std.zig.AstGen` branch of getAstCheckDiagnostics, references is symbolReferences' algorithm from the outside (offer every same-named identifier token back to the analyser and keep the ones that resolve to the same decl, so a shadowed local is not a false hit). What it does not do, deliberately: - Nothing is cached between queries. Each `query` builds a DocumentStore, resolves imports and throws it away, because the arena dies on return and `req.source` is a snapshot of a buffer the user is still typing into. So cold IS warm — there is no index to warm up. It is also fast enough not to need one: 124us for a local goto, 2.8ms into the stdlib, 8ms for references over a 5000-line file. A cross-query cache is a real design (a global, a mutex, an invalidation story), not a line of code, and it is the obvious next step rather than something smuggled in here. - References, rename and select-refs are THIS FILE only. Workspace-wide means loading every project file into the store and running the analyser over each; DocumentStore's own workspace iteration has the same limit (it can only see handles already loaded). Workspace symbols and workspace diagnostics DO walk the tree, because neither needs the analyser — a parse and a tree walk each. - Rename previews, format reports, code actions list. The seam hands back rows, not edits, so there is no channel through which a backend could rewrite the buffer. These answer the question the keypress asks and change nothing. - Without a zig binary, `@import("builtin")`, `@import("<pkg>")` and `@cImport` resolve to nothing — silently, which is ZLS's behaviour, not a bug introduced here. Relative imports and `std` work. - Non-.zig files answer nothing. The core does not gate the keymap by file type, so the gate is here: `gd` in a README must find nothing rather than parse prose as Zig and confidently resolve a word out of it. A whole-file report that ran and found nothing says so ("no diagnostics", "already formatted", "no code actions") rather than returning zero rows, because in this seam zero rows already means "no backend" — `lspResponse` opens nothing for an empty answer, so silence cannot also mean "checked, clean". Location queries keep the opposite rule: unresolvable is no rows. test/snapshots/lsp.snap covers the round trip end to end — gd jumping on a single result, SPC k opening +Hover, SPC s opening the +Search list that n steps, and gd on a keyword answering nothing without opening anything. The whole backend was also fuzzed at 20k queries over real, truncated and byte-smashed sources across every kind; that found two crashes (a decl's name token indexes its own file, not the requesting one, and is not necessarily an identifier at all on a half-typed line) which are fixed. emscripten does not get the backend: the web shell has no threads and no-ops the lsp effect, so it keeps the empty one the base tree shipped. DEPENDENCY: ZLS is FETCHED by the build system (build.zig.zon .url + .hash, pinned to commit 3e0d0820 on the 0.16.x branch) rather than a path dependency on the local genizah checkout, so it lands in zig-pkg/ like every other dependency and the build is reproducible from the .zon alone. Also passes -Dversion-string: ZLS's build.zig names itself by shelling out to `git describe`, and a fetched package is an extracted tarball with no .git, so every build printed a 'Failed to run git describe' warning. We pin the commit, so we already know the answer.
