* Ripple and Glitch are gone; Crt staysGabriel Schneider4 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The user tried them live and wants them removed entirely: the builtins, their levels, config keys and leader paths (tR, tg), their slots in the built-in chain, their shaders (source and prebuilt), EffectCode paths, and on macOS their scene flags (pardes.h), the Metal kernel's coordinate warps and the Swift pointer mapping that mirrored them. Docs say so (decision 8 in docs/render-pipeline.md); config.md documents Crt's levels, Shader and ShaderAnimation instead. Shared files touched: macos.zig (flags). Not touched: pardes.zig, Messages.zig, mouse.zig, gui.zig, detached/*.
* Crt, Ripple and Glitch take a level, 0 to 3, tunable at run timeGabriel Schneider4 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 Schneider4 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 Schneider4 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.
