* docs: the tutor taught three keystrokes wrong, and the rest had driftedGabriel Schneider2026-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation had gone stale in the ordinary way -- claims that were true when they were written and that nothing since had been obliged to re-read. Some of them were load-bearing. THE TUTOR. It still said there is no multi-cursor, that NextColor cycles three themes, and that its practice blocks "are also run as unit tests (generated from this file by tutor_gen)" -- a tool that appears nowhere in the tree, and nothing anywhere parses a `# keys:` block. Left alone, that claim is what makes the next wrong block survive. Three of those blocks WERE wrong, and all three for one reason: since the helix motion model landed, w/e/f/t SELECT the range they cross, so `i` after one inserts at the SELECTION'S START. `w i Z esc` on "foo bar" gives "Zfoo bar", not the "foo Zbar" the file promised. They were written against a vim reading of the same keys. Every block in the file has now been run through `zig build hxdiff` against the real core and matches byte for byte, and the trap itself is written down in 3.3 rather than left to be rediscovered. The tutor gains a PART 4 for everything added since it was written -- PDF panes, the in-process ZLS backend, themes and fonts, the startup file -- and PART 3 gains counts (and which keys ignore one), f/F/t/T, the whole g table (bare `G` is a no-op; `ge` is the START of the last line), multiple cursors and the s/S regex pair, `m`, `]`/`[`, `|`, insert mode, and all fifty leader paths. THE REST. design.typ's line table claimed 7,626 lines against a real 38,048, and its rows did not sum to its own total; its Event/Effect boundary contract -- the part a shell author writes against -- named four variants that do not exist and omitted fourteen that do. lsp.md's probe count. config.md's theme-name rules, which as written could not reach a zed theme at all. helix-keys.md's Skipped section, holding five families that have since landed. macos.md's menu bar, undocumented, along with sixteen other claims. web.md on what the browser build can actually do. SOURCE COMMENTS that had rotted alongside them: `tag_normal` is a space, not the `•` its own comment describes; Wrap is ON by default, not off; a FontSel row is SELECTED by n and RUN by Tab, not run by n; the SPC paths in lsp.zig lost their `l` group prefix when the language group moved; and the differential suites are 481 and 561 cases, not 360 and 440. TWO THINGS FOUND BY DOCUMENTING THEM, both left standing and written down rather than papered over. Typing `[^\n]` at an s/S prompt panics: the live preview compiles every prefix, and `[^\` indexes an empty slice in mvzr's parseCharSet. Both the tutor and a waiver recommended that pattern as the workaround for `.` matching a newline; they now say what it costs and what would make it sayable. And `Exec` is a builtin, so an `Exec` line in the startup config types that command into a shell before the first frame -- the tutor said nothing in that file is ever sent to one. Nine adversarial reviews over two rounds, each with the hxdiff harness to execute what it doubted. The second round exists because the first round's fixes needed checking too, and it caught three regressions of my own -- one of them a probe count I had "corrected" away from the truth. Verified: unit-test, snap 87/87, hxdiff 481/0, hxparity 561/0, mupdf-check. docs/design.pdf regenerated. The tutor's first seventeen lines are byte- identical, which is what tutor.golden pins.
* macos: pixel attachments, live theming, and a signed appGabriel Schneider2026-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AppKit shell now draws what the core renders, follows the theme without a relaunch, and builds into something you can hand to someone. - Pixel attachments. Surface.images was dropped on the floor here, so a PDF pane showed nothing at all: native_images is now set, pardes_image_s carries the geometry the core already clipped, and PardesView keeps one CGImage per (serial, page, revision) so scrolling costs a draw and not a decode. Image panes get real pixels instead of the petscii fallback. - Themes take hold live. pardes_tick never advanced the chrome animation, so every tagline kept the previous theme's colours until the next launch and the 16 ms re-pump spun for the rest of the session. pardes_theme_bg retires the hand-agreed #121212 and drives the window background and the titlebar appearance; a theme with no background of its own now gets a transparent window over an NSVisualEffectView. - The cell snaps to whole DEVICE pixels rather than whole points. Monaco advances 8.4014pt at 14, so ceiling to 9 spaced every column 7.1% wider than the face was drawn for. - The dial is one notch per 10 degrees instead of 20, and a release keeps turning in proportion to how hard it was thrown -- ramping up from zero at the floor, so a slow twist coasts not a little but not at all. - A file dropped on the grid is a click plus Look, so it opens beside the pane it was dropped on. No drop concept was added to the core. - The titlebar follows the focused pane: proxy icon, filename, and the dirty dot. File.saved_revision is the watermark that last one needed. - Config (SPC f c) prints the resolved startup config path. - build.zig assembles, signs and packages the bundle itself; build-app.sh is gone. -Dmacos-identity= takes a Developer ID, macos-dmg makes the image, and the icon is Glenda.
