* Crt, Ripple and Glitch take a level, 0 to 3, tunable at run timeGabriel Schneider5 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coordinator's request: `Crt 0..3` (likewise Ripple, Glitch), 0 off, `on` the default level 2 (the polished rewrite), `off` and a bare word as before. The level is one uniform (pardesLevel, beside pardesOpaque in the prefix's own block); each pass picks its constants by it. Level 3 is at least as strong as the old effects, measured as pixels changed by more than 8 in a channel against a plain frame: Crt 18.3% (old 17.4%), Ripple 11.1% (9.5%), Glitch 9.3% a frame (8.1%); Glitch's level raises how often it bursts as well as how hard. Config and ctl report `Crt 2` / `Crt off`. Shared files touched: ninep/ctl.zig (the report line). Not touched: pardes.zig, Messages.zig, mouse.zig, gui.zig, detached/*.
* Post chain: Shadertoy passes compiled by glslc; Crt, Ripple and Glitch ↵Gabriel Schneider5 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rewritten as Shadertoy files Stage 9 of docs/render-pipeline.md. src/gui/Post.zig runs the chain over the finished frame: each pass reads the one before, ping-pong textures between, the last writes the window; an empty chain is the direct path. The prefix (shaders/post/prefix.glsl) is ghostty's uniform block, name for name and offset for offset (tested against a copy of its Uniforms, the selection colours by their GLSL names), at SDL GPU's bindings, y down. A user's file (Shader <path>) is compiled by glslc with compileGlsl's own flags on a thread of its own, taken in at the next loop step; errors name the file's own lines; a failed compile keeps the last good pipeline; glslc missing is said once. The bundled passes compile with the build, through the same prefix. Crt, Ripple and Glitch are Shadertoy files, rewritten: no barrel (input is identity, tested), everything in linear light and dithered, keyed to iTime. scene_effects, crt.zig and crt.frag.glsl are gone; the core keeps no clock for the chain. ShaderAnimation off|on|always drives redraw level A: the chain alone over the retained frame (34 us CPU a redraw, measured). Shared files touched: pardes.zig (nextWake loses the scene line, disableSceneEffects empties the chain, two tests), builtins.zig (one switch arm), ninep/ctl.zig (two switch arms), macos.zig (flags from the chain), gui.zig. Not touched: Messages.zig, mouse.zig, detached/*, host_io, tty.
* The GUI draws in tiers from the regions; pane chrome moves with its paneGabriel Schneider5 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stage 8 of docs/render-pipeline.md. The frame is drawn in groups: tier 0, one per track in paint order (tiers 2 and 3), tier 4 (notices, then guides and the debug box), tier 5 (bar cursors), each cells, images, decor. Decor (rules, rails, thumbs, grip marks, spines, the workspace and column rules, the bottom band, notice rules, bar cursors) is whole-pixel rects through the new decor.frag over ui.vert, so it carries its track's transition and clip. A closing pane's chrome comes from Surface.previous_regions. Deleted: taglineBaseRgb, topbarPaneBorderHeight, bottomTaglinePresent, frameChromeBg, cellBackgroundIs and the rail inference, paneGripCell's scan, transient_on, PaintPlan. One cover map (coverFrame) is marked from the layers and regions once a frame. New regions column, guide and debug; Surface.chrome is the palette, carried in wire v8 (not shipped yet), so an attached GUI draws the same chrome (test). A per-instance clip replaces the vertical transition's scissor. Goldens: 01-12 byte-identical. 13-17 differ only past the grid: the image pass left its scissor at the grid's size, cutting rule ends, rail feet and the bottom band in the leftover pixels whenever a picture was on screen. 16-debug now shows the debug box, which a context-row layer had hidden. 18-mid-transition is new: virtual clock (PARDES_TEST_CLOCK in the GUI), PanelSlide Newcol with the picture, frame 6 of 12. Also: the GUI sleeps when idle instead of polling every 16 ms, and a minimized or occluded window sleeps through animation. Tracy 'gui frame build' at 200x60: 992/1015 us median before, 989/987 us after. Shared files touched: pardes.zig (one export), detached/client.zig, detached/server.zig, detached/wire.zig (all additive), gui.zig. Not touched: Messages.zig, mouse.zig, tagline.zig, colors.zig, tty.zig, host_io.zig, dump.zig, exec.zig, panes.zig.

glslc is the one build input that wants a tool a stock machine does not have, and it is also the input that changes least often: eight GLSL files that have outlived several rewrites of everything around them. Asking every machine that wants to run the SDL shell for shaderc is the wrong trade. The SPIR-V is now COMMITTED, under shaders/prebuilt/, and -Dprebuilt-shaders embeds that copy instead of shelling out. The default stays the honest one -- compile the shaders that are actually in the tree -- because the flag trades a dependency for a freshness problem: with it on, the .glsl sources are not build inputs at all, so editing one changes nothing. `zig build shaders` is the other half, and it is deliberately independent of -Dplatform: it recompiles every shader and writes the result back into the tracked directory, so whoever changes a shader refreshes the cache on a machine that has the compiler and commits the diff. `jj diff shaders/prebuilt` after it is the freshness check -- empty means the cache was already current. The shader list is also spelled once now (gui_shaders): the eight embeds, the eight glslc runs and the refresh step all read it, so adding a shader is a name there plus the @embedFile in gui.zig, not three edits in two places. Verified: -Dplatform=gui -Dprebuilt-shaders builds with glslc absent from PATH, and image-harness passes on that binary -- real SDL GPU pipelines built from the committed SPIR-V, 512 source pixels read back. The default gui build still runs the eight glslc steps; tty runs none. The committed bytes are identical to a fresh glslc run, and `zig build shaders` is idempotent.
