* A regular expression search is bounded by a step budget patched into mvzr, ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | not windows and a repeat cap The windows returned wrong matches: a candidate reaching a window's edge was left to the next window, half a window on, which could answer a match starting mid-token rather than the leftmost, and addr then pointed data's next write at the wrong bytes. The repeat cap missed mvzr's own worst case, a chain of a?, and alternation under a repeat, each exponential inside one mvzr call the deadline could not interrupt; and it refused ordinary s/S patterns. build.zig now patches the fetched mvzr at build time with a step counter on its backtracking recursion (matchPattern), so a fresh fetch keeps it and a moved anchor stops the build; regexp.zig gives each compiled pattern a budget, about 300 ms here, and a search that spends it fails as taking too long. Windows, the cap and their special cases are gone, and matches are exact again. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* An Exit or Restore refusal says the same word again discards the textGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | '<name>: Modified' read like a failure to retry, and a script that retried Exit or Restore threw the text away without knowing it. The refusal now names the word asking and what repeating it does, '<name>: Modified (Exit again to discard)', and the skill sets it apart from lock's 'file in use', which is the one to retry.

* Restore asks about unsaved text first, as Exit doesGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | Restore replaces every pane with a dump's, so a pane edited since its last save lost that text without a word, where Exit asks. acme's Load only adds a dump's windows and so never asks; Restore now asks what Exit asks (acme's rowclean and winclean, wind.c:511-529): each modified pane says so once, and Restore again with nothing edited since goes ahead. Exit and Restore share the check and its warned-at revision, as acme's winclean clears one dirty flag for any asker. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* docs: data's truncation is pardes's own, a second write inserts, and a ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | waiting pty/run is cancelled Review asked the docs to say what a script trips on: acme ignores OTRUNC on data (fsys.c:543), so truncating it is an extension; addr sits past each write, so a second echo x > data inserts after the first; and a pty/run line waiting for a fresh terminal's first prompt waits for ever if none is drawn, so the way out is to interrupt the read. The lock's retry advice was already there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A repeated err record in the log is the newest record counted, not another lineGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | A client retrying a write that fails the same way pushed one err line after another until the log's ring held nothing else. The same err as the newest record is now that record with a count, (x4), as +Messages counts repeats; a follower that has already read the record still gets each repeat as its own line, since it may be waiting on exactly that.

* Kill asks the host to signal at once and says when a shell has no job to signalGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | Kill queued a signal effect for later, so the job it saw running by its marks could have ended, and another started, before the signal went; and with job control off the job shares the shell's process group, so the host skipped it and Kill reported nothing. Kill now calls the host's kill_job while it holds the turn, and when the only job is the shell's own group says 'Kill: no job to signal', which also fails a write of Kill to ctl.

* A regular expression search comes back: costly patterns refused, long lines ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | windowed, 300 ms deadline mvzr backtracks with no bound on its work (a*a*a*a*x over a hundred a's takes a second, each repeat multiplying by the haystack length), and a search runs holding the editor's turn, so one pasted pattern froze the editor. pardes does not write or vendor a regex engine, so regexp.zig bounds what it hands mvzr: more than four repeats is refused, a line longer than a window sized from measured worst cases is searched in half-overlapping windows, and a deadline stops the search. addr names each failure; normal s/S keeps what it found. The prescan also stops reading an escaped backslash before n as a newline, and ends a class where mvzr does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Exit quits and Kill stops commands, as in acmeGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Normal mode's s and S search as addr does, through one shared regexp.zigGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | The sam-style calling convention for mvzr (a line per haystack, . made [^\\n] only when a pattern names \\n) lived in addr.zig; normal mode's s and S called mvzr over the raw selection, where ^ meant the selection's start and . crossed lines. src/regexp.zig now holds the one Regex (compile, find) both call, and fs.zig and pardes.zig drop an unused mvzr import. hxdiff and hxparity stay at their known 17 and 6 mismatches, none of them regex cases.

* docs: the README and skill answer what dogfooding askedGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | A first-time user through a mount could not find how to get a terminal, read path++text as a typo, did not know > on data replaces only the addressed range, which regexps addr takes, that lock fails fast, what errors is, where an unknown exec word goes (typed into a terminal, not an error), that new panes are +New and a column's last pane leaves one, or which 9ns mount other processes can see. The README (still 45 lines), docs/fs.md and the skill now say. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A refused or failed write is an err record in the log, naming the file and ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | the reason Through a mount every refusal reads as Invalid argument, so a shell user could not tell a missing regexp match from a bad ctl word. Every write or truncation the tree refuses or that fails now adds err <serial|-> <file>: <why> to /log. No per-pane readable error file: acme's errors only takes text, and one stream is simpler to watch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A terminal's new directory is a rename in the log, and its ctl counts its bodyGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | The log said new N / and later del N <cwd> for a terminal, with no rename in between, though a terminal is named by its directory. setCwd now logs the rename once the pane has been announced. A terminal's ctl line gave body length 0 while its body reads its history; it now counts that history (without keeping a copy). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A lock another open holds fails at once with file in use instead of parkingGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | A contended lock parked until the holder unlocked, but through a kernel or FUSE mount the kernel serialises writes to one file, so the parked lock held up the holder's own unlock and close on that ctl, and the two deadlocked. acme's qlock blocks; here the second lock is refused at once with file in use (EBUSY) and the client retries, and nothing parks on the lock any more.

* pty/run on a fresh terminal waits for the shell's first prompt instead of ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | answering busy A new terminal's shell takes tens of milliseconds to draw its first prompt, and a run written meanwhile answered busy, so a script's first command was lost, while pty/status said busy 0. A line written before the first prompt now waits for it and is sent then (a respawn in between keeps it waiting for the new shell), and pty/status's third field says what a run would be told: busy while a command runs or text is typed at the prompt, not before the first prompt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Addresses search a line at a time as sam does, say why they fail, and a ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | failed addr leaves no address addr's regexps ran mvzr over text[from..hi]: ^ and $ anchored only at the slice's ends, . matched newlines, the search never wrapped, and every failure read as bad address syntax. The regexps stay mvzr's, called the way sam searches (editors/acme/regx.c): one line per haystack, so ^ and $ fall at line boundaries and . never crosses a newline; a pattern naming \\n runs over the whole text with its . made [^\\n]; /re/ wraps unless limit is set, and ?re? takes the last match before the range. The ceiling (mvzr's first alternative, not sam's longest) is documented. A failed address says why (no match for regexp, address out of range, bad regular expression), and a failed write to addr leaves no address, so data and xdata refuse until the next good one instead of writing at the old range. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Truncating data or xdata deletes only the addressed range, not the whole bodyGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | A shell's echo NEW > data opens data with OTRUNC, and truncate() spliced the whole body away before the write replaced the addressed range: a five-byte replacement erased a buffer. data and xdata hold what addr names, so truncating one now deletes that range and nothing else; > on data replaces the range and : > data deletes it, and only truncating body clears the buffer.

* docs: Kill quits the editor, and the column words are a pane'sGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | Kill in pardes is acme's Exit, not acme's Kill, which only stops commands; the README, docs/fs.md and the skill now say so where the root ctl lists it. Delcol, Collapse and the other column words take a pane's ctl and act on that pane's column; Newcol and Joincol are the root's. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Focus gives the keyboard only, reads empty while a header has it, and sits ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | in the root listing's natural place A write to /focus leaves a folded pane folded, as rio keeps current apart from unhide; while a column or workspace tag has the keyboard no pane does, so /focus reads empty and every pane's ctl says notcurrent (an empty read also no longer answers stale staged bytes). focus, ctl and commands now list after status, and the discovery test checks the root as a set rather than by position.

* A ctl write fails when a builtin it runs fails, and a missing required ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | argument is refused before anything runs A ctl write failed only on a malformed line: Mount x reported its error in the editor while the write succeeded, and a bare Mount failed only as it ran, after earlier lines of the write. acme's ctl answers a command's error (editors/acme/xfid.c:700). Builtins now declare requires_arg beside takes_arg (settings: those with a value to set), and the check refuses a bare one as wrong #args before any line runs; while a ctl runs, the first error a builtin reports fails the write, quoted with its line, and the prompt refusal quotes its line too. Docs say what a failure mid-write leaves done. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A root commands file lists every builtin, its argument and which ctl takes itGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | A script could learn the builtin words only from source or the Help window. /commands is generated from the registry: one line per builtin, Word or Word arg, then root or pane for the ctl that takes it, so it is always this build's own list. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Split control messages by scope: the root ctl takes the session's builtins ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and reads the settings, a pane's ctl its own Every builtin could only be clicked, or written to exec, and the settings could be read only as the Config window's prose. acme keeps window verbs on a window's ctl, and webfs and upas/fs keep session settings on a root ctl. Each builtin now declares its scope (scope = .session; settings are all session, the rest pane), read by the registry. The root /ctl takes session builtins and reads every setting in the words a write takes, so its read written back changes nothing (panel and scene effects now take on/off like the toggles, to make that true); a pane's ctl takes the pane's builtins beside get, lock and unlock. Writes are checked whole and refused in Plan 9's ctl words (unknown control message "X", wrong #args ...), which 9ns now maps to EINVAL (cloud9 re-pinned at a8c7a715). A builtin that would prompt for its argument fails the write instead, and a refusal is answered at once, not after the frame. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A root focus file names the pane with the keyboard and moves it; a pane's ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ctl says whether it is current Scripts had no way to ask which pane has the keyboard or to give it one. rio answers both through a window's wctl: its read ends with current or notcurrent, and a write of current takes the keyboard (rio(4)). A pane's ctl line now ends the same way, and since there is one keyboard for the whole tree, /focus reads the focused pane's serial and takes a serial to move the keyboard there, off any header that had it; a serial no pane has fails with "no such window". fs-bench's stale readdir check is fixed too.

* Let the keyboard reach a tag's path, read-onlyGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tag's computed path, dirty marker and page were out of the keyboard's reach: its cursor lived in the text after them. It now lives in the tag as shown, as in acme where the name is ordinary text at the start of the tag, so `0` goes to the line's start and motions select and yank the path. The path stays read-only: an edit that would change it is refused and leaves the cursor where it was, and typing into a file's path drafts a new name as a click on it does. Sync moves the tag's positions when the prefix changes length, so a rename or the dirty marker still never moves the cursor off the text after it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Let s, S and | pressed in a tag answer for the tag's own textGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | A tag is a text like the body, so selecting on a regex and piping act on the text they are pressed in: a prompt records the text it answers for, the tag keeps the keyboard while it is typed, and a header's prompt goes on the active pane's band. `/` still searches the body from anywhere, as acme's Look from a tag searches the body. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Run the word under the cursor when Enter is pressed in a headerGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | The workspace and column tags hold nothing but commands, and before they became texts Enter on one of them ran it: Enter on Newcol made a column. Since then Enter looked the word up, as it does in a pane's tag, which only searched for it. It runs it again, and the header lets go of the keyboard first as a pane tag does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Let the tag's undo bring back what a 9P truncate clearedGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | Truncating the tag file replaced its text without an undo point, so the cleared text was gone for good. It is recorded now like a typed edit, the history is kept, and docs/fs.md says so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* File the tag code into tagline.zig and draw tags beside bodiesGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | With tags reduced to Texts, what is left of them is the computed prefix, the default and saved tails, entering and leaving a tag and the headers: that goes to tagline.zig, as acme keeps the tag half of a window in wind.c. Tag and header drawing moves next to body drawing in body_layer.zig, and the tag hit helpers go to tag_layer.zig with the Hit they read, where sameCell now also tells the lines of a taller tag apart. The docs describe the tag as a Text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Give prompts their own line to type into instead of the tag's tailGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | A search, pipe or Save prompt wrote its marker and answer onto the end of the tag, so the tag's cursor, its selection, its 9P writes and a prompt abandoned by a click all shared one buffer: the abandoned text stayed in the tag and a 9P write landed inside the prompt. The answer is now its own Text on the pane, typed in insert mode and shown on the notice band where it was already drawn, and the tag never holds any of it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Point docs and comments at the files code moved toGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Documentation only, no code change: README's reading order and layout, docs/design.typ's paragraph on where pane kinds and editor parts live, docs/helix-keys.md's code map (normalInput and the executors now in normal.zig and edit.zig, insertTab in edit.zig), docs/open-questions.md (execute and ttyForDir in exec.zig), and the comments that named pardes.zig for fold, Cell, takesCommandLine and runBuiltin (tools/gen_themes.zig, themes/helix.zig, detached/wire.zig, host_io.zig, lsp_zls.zig). docs/design.pdf is a retained fixture and is not regenerated.

* Answer a held read by its cloud9 ticket, refuse a second, and say a pane ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shut down The held read is now kept by the Ticket cloud9's Conn.hold() gives its park and answered through Conn.answerWith(), which makes the answer only while that very park still waits, instead of walking the engine's slots by tag; pardes no longer reaches into the engine for it. A second read on an open whose read is held fails with file in use rather than sitting parked where nothing answers it, and a read that waits with no open record to hold it is logged and asserted on. A read on an event or pty/data open whose pane closed answers acme's "window shut down" (editors/acme/xfid.c:1005). The pane keeps its run's and its lock's open handles, checked through openOf on use, not record indices. Docs: lock from a shell needs a held fd, and a command that clears the screen may read as cut. Needs cloud9 zvuqvnzy (cca47d63), which adds Conn.hold, waiting and answerWith; build.zig.zon still pins 82d8152c until that is pushed and re-pinned.

* pty/run says cut when its output's start is gone, and reads only a bounded tailGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | A clear or reset while the command ran, a start or end mark that came on the alternate screen, or a garbage end pin read as a complete answer; now any of them, like a start that scrolled out, answers exit N cut. The output is read from at most output_rows rows above its end instead of the whole history on the editor's thread (cut if that clips it), a D with no status answers exit ? rather than exit 0, and running out of memory answers error out of memory rather than cut. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A pane's ctl takes acme's lock and unlockGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | A client doing an edit of several writes to addr and data had no way to keep another client's from landing in between. acme's window ctl takes lock and unlock for this (editors/acme/xfid.c:603-611): a qlock that blocks a second locker, owned by the fid that wrote it and given up when that fid is clunked, binding only clients that ask. pardes does the same: the open's record holds it, a second lock parks until unlock, close or the pane closing, and no other write is refused for it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Keep what each open holds in one table of open recordsGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Snapshots (and /log's cursor), runs, and the reader_handle constants for event and pty/data each reused the open handle and each validated handle and node on its own. Now p.fs.opens is one table of 64 records, each the node it was opened on and a tagged union of what it holds, like lib9p's per-fid aux and acme's Fid (editors/acme/dat.h:373-385): one lookup (openOf), one release, ENFILE when full. A held read lives in its open's record, so it goes with the release. Opens that hold nothing answer handle 0 and take no record. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Hold a read that has nothing yet and answer it when its file has newsGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A following log, event, pty/data or a pty/run before its answer used to answer .again and wait for a wakeAll, which only the parked-write path asked for, so the band-aid had every queue push set turn.parked. Now the core keeps such a read (ctlfs.hold) and, as the turn is given up after anything that queued a record, ran a command out or closed a pane, answers it on its own connection, the way factotum answers the log reads it keeps and acme an event read. Only a read the engine still holds parked is answered, because cloud9 tells the backend nothing of a Tflush, so a flushed read spends no record. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

* pty/run answers with the command's output; pin cloud9 with 9ns concurrency ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and E.BUSY The answer is now the header line (exit N, or exit N cut M when only the last 64 KiB were kept, or exit N cut when its start scrolled out of the history), then what the command printed: the screen text between its C and D marks, which the marks handler pins so scrolling keeps them. Also from review: a plain /log open honours its offset until follow is written, so tail -n and less work; whitespace-only run lines are refused. cloud9 is pinned at 82d8152c: 9ns keeps up to 32 requests in flight per mount so a waiting read no longer freezes the rest of it, and E.BUSY replaces the errno pardes spelled locally. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Run a line at a terminal's prompt through pty/run and read how it endedGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /pane/<n>/pty/run takes factotum's rpc shape: write one line on an open, read the answer on that same open. The answer is exit N once the command ended and the shell is back at a prompt; busy at once when a command runs, text is typed at the prompt, or the shell has not drawn its first prompt; error not run when the shell refused the line without running it (fish on a syntax error keeps it on the prompt, so it is taken back with Ctrl-U); error shell gone when the pane closes or its shell is replaced; error no prompt marks for a shell pardes could not instrument. The end comes from the shell's OSC 133 marks. ghostty parses D's exit status and drops it, so the stream now runs through a handler that wraps ghostty's and follows prompt -> input -> running -> done. The marks pardes injects into bash and fish carry aid=pardes and only those count, so fish 4's own marks (which doubled ours), a nested shell's, and a stray 133;D in printed output are ignored. Checked end to end against real bash and fish: false, exit 7, a syntax error, sleep, busy while running, and the pane closing mid-command. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Wake reads waiting on /log, event and pty/data; one reader per consuming ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | file; pty/ctl reads back A read parked on a queue was retried only when some unrelated write had to wait, so a follower of /log (and a reader of event or pty/data) slept until then. Pushing a record now marks the turn parked, and giving the turn up wakes them (measured: stuck past 3 s before, 0 s after). event and pty/data consume what they read, so a second open for reading is refused with rio's "file in use" (EBUSY through 9ns); writers still get in, and pty/data queues output only for an actual reader. pty/ctl reads back "winsize C R", in the words it takes. /log fixes from review: a record longer than a read comes in pieces (a shell read loop failed on long lines), every repeated message is logged, a record bigger than the ring is cut to fit instead of emptying it, the ring is reserved at boot so recording never allocates, and panes present at boot are recorded first.

* Record /log whether or not anyone reads it, with the editor's messages in itGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /log is now one ring (64 KiB, 4 KiB on the board) that records new, del, rename and save, and a msg line for everything the editor says. An open freezes it, so cat log shows what happened lately and ends; writing follow to that same open makes reads past it wait for newer records, and a follower the ring outran reads lost N first. The message log keeps the pane's serial, not its reusable slot. A test now fails when the tree serves a file /README never mentions; it caught pty/status, now documented along with typing through pty/data. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Turn ligatures off with a Ligatures setting, in the shell that shapes textGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SDL shell shapes words with HarfBuzz, so a font's `->` and `!=` draw as ligatures, and there was no way to have the plain glyphs back short of changing font. `Ligatures` is a toggle, on by default; off, no cell goes to the shaper and every cell draws its own glyph, exactly as a font without ligatures does. It exists only where it means something. A new `ligatures` capability, true for the gui shell alone, gates it like Font and WindowOpacity are gated: it is not a builtin elsewhere, has no leader path, and Config does not list it, rather than print a row the TTY could never change. macOS draws CoreText ligatures of its own, but nothing there reads the setting, so it stays off there. The table check that kept every toggle unconditional now lets the ligatures toggle, and only it, carry a capability, and requires that it carry `ligatures`; every other setting's rule is as it was. The gui keeps the setting beside its text caches, which were resolved under it: when the core's value changes, the per-codepoint cells (which record whether a cell is shaped) and the shaped words are dropped, and the frame the toggle asked for draws every cell again. The atlas keeps its glyphs: plain ones draw either way, and a ligature's strip is reused when it comes back. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* Ease a message into its row fast first, its colour ahead of it, and out slow ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | first A message fell in on t*t, an ease-in: it hung near its start for the first frames and was still moving at its fastest when it hit the row, a sixth of a row in its last frame. It now decelerates into place with an ease-out cubic, slide = -(1-t)^3: a quarter of the way in the first frame, and the last frames only settle it. There is no overshoot. At a row's height and the dozen frames of the 180 ms fall, a follow-through is a pixel or two, which reads as a jitter rather than a bounce. MessageFall keeps its 180 ms: the ease-out puts the chip where it is going within about 100 ms. The colour leads the motion: alpha = 1 - (1 - min(1, 2t))^2, whole by half way, so what lands is already legible. The SDL shell used to show the chip solid while it slid and fade it only on the way out; it now fades it up with the same alpha, and the rule under a chip carries the chip's fade (a new TagLayer.fade) instead of standing solid while the chip comes or goes. The dissolve was an ease-out, (1-t)^2: it lost a tenth of its colour in the first frame and spent its last frames nearly invisible. An exit eases in instead, alpha = 1 - t^2 over the same 300 ms: it lets go gently and leaves faster and faster. t is now counted to the last frame, so that frame shows it gone rather than it blinking out from 0.3%. 1 - t^3 was the other candidate; in captures it held the chip nearly untouched for half the dissolve after the linger had already held it, then dropped a sixth of its colour a frame, which reads as a pop. It stays in place: the lines stacked around it do not move, and a drift would read as it leaving its row. The test pins the shapes: a fast first step into the row, never past it, solid by half way; a dissolve whose first drop is smaller than its last and which ends at exactly nothing.

* Ask from the keyboard which neighbour a closed pane's rows go toGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Light a held column grip, and rail its landing beside the rule where the GUI ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shows it The column grip worked in the GUI but showed nothing anyone could see. Driving the real SDL window with pixel mouse events, press, drag and release all reach the core and reorder or resize the column; the feedback is what failed. The grip kept its muted color while held, and a reorder's insertion rail was drawn in the gutter cell at the destination edge. The GUI paints that cell as the column's scroll rail, and at the window's left edge, the common case of moving the right column first, the dashes were lost in it. From the leftmost column, a drag short of a neighbour's middle shows no rail, rightly, since nothing would move, but nothing said the grip was even held. A held grip now lights in column_box, the accent its muted color is mixed from, and the rail takes that color. The rail runs in the seam cell left of where the column's rule will land, where a border drag's rail runs, for a reorder and a left-edge move alike; at the window's left edge, which has no seam, it runs just past the scroll rail, leaving column 0's grip and pane boxes whole. A carried column's pointer aims at a place, not a word, so the column tags no longer light the word under it, and a release snaps the layout as a border drag's does rather than animating it. The preview and the release both ask layout.columnDrop where the column goes, so the rail stands where the release puts the edge, and the drag no longer carries its unused column index. The GUI test feed takes ESC]777;mouse;<down|up|motion>;<button>;<x>;<y> in window pixels and dispatches it as an SDL event. test/column_grip.py uses it to drive the grip through the same pixel-to-cell and tag hit path as a hand on the mouse, and checks the grip, the rail and the result against GPU captures and the 9P grid.

* Shape text with HarfBuzz, so a font's programming ligatures draw across ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | their cells The SDL shell rasterized every cell by its own codepoint, so a font's `->`, `!=` or `<=` ligature never appeared. Text is now shaped with HarfBuzz 11.0.0, built from source like FreeType: a lazy build.zig.zon dependency (the tarball Ghostty pins) compiled only for the gui shell, its FreeType integration linked against the freetype package, so the binary carries no system HarfBuzz or FreeType and a tty build never compiles it. Shaping turns on only the font's ligature features (liga, calt, clig, rlig, rclt); composition, local forms and fractions stay off, so a cell draws either its nominal glyph, as it always did, or part of a ligature. A glyph no lookup of those features covers cannot change, so its cell is resolved alone, and that resolution is cached by codepoint: in a font without ligatures (Adwaita Mono) no cell is ever shaped, and the pipeline draws pixel for pixel as before. A cell whose glyph a ligature could replace is shaped with its word: the cells between spaces that share a decoration and a role. A word ends either side of the cursor, block or bar, so the cell being edited shows its own character (Ghostty's rule), and inside f|i, f|l and s|t, whose typographic ligatures do not belong on a grid (Ghostty again). Colours never end a word: a ligature spans a syntax colour change or a selection edge. A codepoint the primary font lacks shapes in the fallback face that has it. Taglines are not shaped: they are drawn at two pitches, and a strip would not line up in one. HarfBuzz only chooses glyphs; the grid places them. A substituted glyph whose ink reaches over neighbouring cells that draw nothing of their own (the spacer glyphs of Fira Code-style fonts such as Maple Mono, or the cells a merged ligature cluster swallowed) claims them: it is rasterized once as a strip that many cells wide, and each cell samples its own slice, so selection, the cursor and per-cell colours work unchanged. Anything the grid cannot place (several glyphs in one cell, a positioned mark) keeps its nominal glyphs. A frame must not pay for this. A shaped word's atlas slots are cached by its text (checked against the stored text, not just its hash), so a frame costs one lookup per word and a compare for the rest of the word being walked. The atlas is keyed by (face, glyph, role, decoration, lead, span), packed into 64 bits so a lookup hashes one word; ASCII glyph ids are a table, and a face's HarfBuzz state is made when it is first asked about a glyph. Measured with the latency trace, whose F line now also carries the submit time (CPU = submit - present entry), in 10 interleaved rounds against main with an A/A pair, at 160x50 cells: with Adwaita Mono every scenario (idle, scrolling, typing, terminal output) is as fast or 1-3% faster, and the first frame and time to first paint are unchanged. With Maple Mono, ligatures cost the first frame about 0.8 ms (HarfBuzz setup and shaping the screen) and scrolling new text about 1-2%. With it the codepoint raster path is gone: grips look up their glyph and stay centered, since a grip is not text. ui_font_scale_for_height, an identity kept as a "size token", is removed (px is the size everywhere), ui_font_has_glyph becomes ui_font_glyph, and the space slot is simply the first, cleared cell of the atlas rather than a rasterized space. CellStyle.ul gets an explicit u3 tag so a decoration fits in the packed keys. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* Center tagline bands, frame anchors evenly, fill to the window edge, and ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | resize columns from their grip Every tag band (workspace, column, pane) is centred in its row, so text sits at one baseline offset. Anchors are inset from the column rule by that same margin, so they are square and the band frames them on the left, top and bottom; the pane mark moves to stay centred. When the window is not a whole number of cells, the bands, rules, spines and scroll thumbs at the right and bottom edges run on through the leftover pixels. A column grip dropped short of another column's place now moves the column's left edge, with a dashed rail preview, sharing setColumnPairWidth with the border drag. A release still on the grip changes nothing, and a pair too narrow for two MINW columns is left alone. PARDES_TEST_PAD adds leftover pixels to a test-mode window and capture.
* Repaint PDF highlights by row, send rasters by shared memory, and animate ↵Gabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | messages 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) <[email protected]>
* Answer 9P on the connection's task, so a session can open its own treeGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The editor's loop was the only thing that could answer a 9P request, which made the editor's own syscalls through a mount of its own tree -- a Look at /mnt/9p/pardes/<me>/anything under a `9ns --mntgen` view, a Save into it -- requests only the blocked loop could serve. The name-based refusal that followed (ownMountSuffix) and the in-process routing of a mount of oneself (Client.sameSession) were patches over that, and both are gone, with the mailbox that shipped every request to the editor's thread. One rule replaces them, `pardes.turn`: the core is single-threaded, the editor's thread has the turn by default and gives it up in two kinds of gap -- while it waits for input and while a step of it is out in a host syscall -- and a cloud9 connection task takes it in those gaps to answer. `out` counts the steps that are out, from any thread: while one is, the core reads consistently but that step still holds pointers into it, so a request that would change a pane (a write, a truncation, an rmdir) is parked in the engine and retried when the turn is next given up with nothing out, and the editor's own wake waits for the count to reach zero. It is never a write of its own that a step waits on out there -- writes come from a shell performing a save between steps -- so a parked request is never the syscall's own, and making a pane or rendering a screen need not park: every yield sits before its step's mutation, so the layout and the surface are whole under it. A changing request that queued effects is answered once the editor has performed them (`echo Save > exec` returns with the file written, as acme's `put` does), and it settles the way a step does, because without that a /log reader waited for the user's next keystroke. Every host syscall on a user path has to give the turn up, not fs.zig's alone: the first end-to-end run hung in `inotify_add_watch` performing the new pane's watch effect. PDFs and images are read whole at open, so no draw goes out into the host. The core's allocator takes its fixed buffer through the lock-free interface, since a connection task allocates while the editor's thread is out in a syscall that allocates too. A Restore puts the replacement in first and releases every task waiting on the old core. cloud9 (pinned at eb1a104) parks an open, a truncating wstat, a clunk and a remove on `again`, not only reads and writes, and answers a parked job whose fid was clunked without asking the backend. Verified: test/selfmount.py runs the editor under `9ns --mntgen` and Looks at, reads and Saves its own tree through the mount; a unit test pins that a change parks while the editor is out mid-step and lands when it rests, while a read is answered in the window. 9P over the Unix socket against a tty session, same machine, Debug builds: a read of /index 278us -> 61us, a truncating body write 1184us -> 609us, exec Save 718us -> 583us; the gesture benchmark is unchanged (geometric mean 0.997 over 53 cells). Also from the reviews: a notice chip over an image or PDF pane was painted out by the picture drawn after the cells, so pictures give up the rows; in the GUI a tree-sitter context band painted over the chip, so body layers are emitted first; a message is one row of printable text, its 256-byte cut never leaves half a glyph, and one wider than its pane keeps its tail (the file name, the reason) rather than its head.

* Notices become tagline bands at the top of the bodyGabriel Schneider32 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/<name>, because a bare /pardes/<name> anywhere in a string would claim ~/src/pardes/<name>/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 <line>` 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.
