* Give a pane's body its own Text holding the cursor, selections, mode and undoGabriel Schneider44 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | acme keeps what edits a text in its Text (dat.h:171-190) and the window holds a body and a tag of that type. The cursor, the selections, the modal state and the edit-buffer undo move off Pane into Text.zig, Pane holds them as its body, and the edit and normal-mode operations take the Text they edit. Nothing changes in behaviour; this is the step that lets the tag become a second Text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Give the pipe its own fields in PipeGabriel Schneider44 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not a pure move: state moves. Pardes's `pipe_seq` and `pipe_wait` become Pipe.zig's own fields `seq` and `wait`, and Pardes embeds one as `pipe: Pipe = .{}`. pipeRequest reads only the request in flight, so it now takes `pipe: *const Pipe` and the four shells call `core.pipe.pipeRequest(id)` (their Pipe imports go away again); the other pipe functions still need the panes and keep `p: *Pardes`, writing `p.pipe.seq/wait`. Field reads in dump.zig, the shells' tests and two test files follow (`core.pipe_wait` becomes `core.pipe.wait`). No behaviour change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Move saving and loading a whole editor out of pardes.zig into dump.zigGabriel Schneider44 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pure move, no behaviour change (acme keeps dump and load in rows.c): dumpState, restore, initFromDump and initDump go verbatim to the end of dump.zig, after the dump format they read and write. Inside dump.zig the moved code's `dump.` prefix drops, so `Pane` there is the dump record; the one editor pane it names is spelled `pardes.panes.Pane`, and its other `panes.X` references become `pardes.panes.X` because dump.zig's own tests use `panes` as a local name. The methods become free functions taking `p: *Pardes`: `p.dumpState()` becomes `dump.dumpState(p)`, `core.restore(bytes)` becomes `dump.restore(core, bytes)` and `Pardes.initFromDump(..)` becomes `dump.initFromDump(..)`, in pardes.zig, the shells, layout.zig, Terminal.zig, builtins.zig and the tests (38 receiver rewrites plus the initFromDump calls). The tag-tail restore helpers stay with the tag code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Notices become tagline bands at the top of the bodyGabriel Schneider44 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.

* detached: a big screen can attach, and the frame it asks for fits the wireGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two defects, and either fix alone makes the other one worse. No frontend ever clamped its window to the protocol's grid ceiling — the hello carried it raw — so a 4K display at a small font, already past max_rows 128, had its geometry refused by the session's decoder as BadValue. That path answers with close(.protocol) and no refuse behind it, so the frontend was told only that the session "hung up on the connect": at a session with all 32 slots free. client.zig now asks for the largest grid the wire carries, which is what its own GEOMETRY note already promises a frontend gets — the session is drawn at its own size in the corner of a bigger window, exactly as when another frontend is the smaller one. A ZERO geometry is dropped rather than clamped, because the session grid is the smallest common one and a frontend reporting 1 would collapse everybody else; TIOCGWINSZ answers 0x0 during a teardown and the tty shell forwarded it, which was the same mute hangup by another route. That clamp alone would have replaced one bug with a worse one. max_cols * max_rows is 65536 and a run's length prefix is a u16, so the single grid legal at both bounds is the one grid whose full frame — and an attach always produces a full frame — cannot be described by one run. encodeFrame's @intCast panicked in a safe build and was illegal behaviour in a fast one. The encoder splits the run instead, bounding the CURSOR rather than the run because the gap lookahead runs ahead of it, and frameBound had already paid for the extra header. wire.version 1 -> 2 for the same reason: the geometry a v2 frontend now asks for is one a v1 daemon panics encoding, and `zig build` replacing the binary under a running session is exactly what that field exists for. A v1 daemon answers Refusal.version instead of dying with every pane shell it owns.

* macos: one tagline rule for both hosts, a kqueue beside the inotify, and ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | effects that compile Three things this shell had its own copy of, and in each case the fix is that it stops having one. **The tagline band.** A pane tag draws at `gui_tagline_font_percent` of the body face and the band it sits on shrinks with it, while the grid row stays body-sized — so something has to decide where the shorter band sits in the taller row. This shell decided by centring, always, which is precisely the case `config.gui_topbar_pane_border_px` exists to prevent: the topbar's unused half-band meets the first pane tag's unused half-band and the window background shows through the seam. The strip is as wide as the bands are short — on a 20-pixel cell, 4 physical pixels at the default 82%, 10 at 50%, 14 at 30% — so it grew as the tagline face shrank and read as "the tagline is wrong on the mac" rather than as one missing rule. The rule is `pardes.taglineBandOffset` in the core now and both pixel hosts call it: row zero bottom-aligned, the first pane-tag row top-aligned, the two joined by `gui_topbar_pane_border_px` in the theme's scrollbar-track colour, every row between centred, and a `Tagbottom` band on the final row flush with the window edge — with the sub-cell strip beneath it painted in that band's own colour, because the core grid holds only whole cells and a window is any height it likes. `pardes_tagline_band_offset`, `pardes_topbar_pane_border_px` and `pardes_topbar_pane_border_rgb` carry it over the C ABI as PHYSICAL pixels: the host multiplies its points by the backing scale going in and divides coming out, which is the snapping `Metrics` already does for the cell, and is what keeps a one-pixel rule one pixel instead of a two-pixel smear. **The watch.** `file_watch.zig` was one mark/reconcile transaction over `inotify`, so the tty shell, the SDL window and the detached daemon all watched nothing off Linux: an edit made outside pardes never reached the pane, and a PDF replaced on disk kept rendering the old inode. It is the same transaction over two kernels now — `init`, `wait`, `stop`, `drain`, `markDir` and `unmarkDir` are still the whole of it, and the hosts wait on a kqueue and poll it exactly as they did the old descriptor. A macOS mark is TWO filters, because a kqueue directory filter reports its entries changing and never a write to a file already inside it: the parent mark follows rename-over saves, `markFile` catches in-place writes, and `remarkFile` re-arms the file filter once a rename has moved the inode. That is the same pair the AppKit host's DispatchSources already used for the same reason. Directory marks are deduplicated here by device and inode, because each `EVFILT_VNODE` filter needs a descriptor of its own and inotify did that deduplication itself; `stop` and `drain` wake through the one `EVFILT_USER` filter, since a kqueue cannot simply be read the way an inotify descriptor can. **The effects.** The three `crt.ci.metal` entry points are `extern "C" [[stitchable]]`. `CIKernel.kernels(withMetalString:)` compiles that source at runtime, looks for stitchable functions, and rejects the WHOLE source with "cannot find a valid stitchable Metal function in the source" when it finds none — so `ScenePostprocessor.init?` returned nil and every scene effect and panel transition silently degraded to the plain CoreText draw. The `effect_sources.zig` test pins the exact spelling of all three, and `draw-effect` in the e2e suite catches the degradation rather than the spelling. Beside them, the offscreen harness owes the core a PRESENTATION. Its window is borderless and never ordered front, so AppKit runs no display cycle and `pardes_frame_presented` — whose only caller is `draw(_:)` — never fired. The core holds pointer gestures inert while a layout mutation has not reached a backend, which for an unpresenting harness is the rest of the script: the first pane a script opened silently killed every later click, drag and Look. So `readFrame` presents what it just rendered, into a bitmap nobody reads. `PARDES_CHROME` also looks under `/Applications`, where a browser's executable lives inside an application bundle and never on `PATH`. The macOS goldens are regenerated; docs/macos.md, config.md, detached.md, web.md and the design PDF follow.
* detached: a frontend that has not finished reading is not a screen that differsGabriel Schneider2026-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `detached session: input from a frontend reaches the core and comes back as a diff` failed about three runs in five, always the same way: cell 122, the core holding `g` and the frontend a space. Cell 122 on a 60-wide grid is row 2 column 2, and row 2 is the pane shell's first line — the `g` is the front of `goblin@pardes ...`, the prompt bash printed into the pty at whatever moment it felt like. Nothing in the transport was wrong. The frame carrying that prompt was sent, arrived, and was sitting unread in the client's socket: instrumenting the mismatch printed `drained 1 more queued messages` and then `same after drain: true`. `pumpUntil` returns the instant it decodes the message it was asked for and abandons the rest of the burst, while every `pump` presents one frame. One `c.wait(5)` that times out — and under a loaded test binary one does — buys a second pump before the first frame is read, and from there the client is one frame behind for the rest of the test. Harmless while the only thing in that frame is nothing; a cell that differs the moment a forked shell writes its prompt. So the assertion was comparing the core's NOW against the frontend's THEN, and the fix is the one this file already made for two frontends: converge. `pumpUntilShowsCore` is `pumpUntilSameScreen` with one client instead of two — pump, wait, drain EVERYTHING, compare — checked before the first pump so a test already in sync spends nothing, and handing its last comparison to `expectSameScreen` so a transport that genuinely drops a cell still fails by naming it rather than by timing out. Both single-frontend screen assertions take it; the two-frontend one already had its own. 8/8 clean gui runs against 3-failures-in-5 before, and the tty suite's 457 unchanged.
* An edited row keeps its colours, four copies of forkShell become one, and ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Esc stops recentring ## A terminal row's ANSI colours survive being edited The loudest colour bug this editor had: one keystroke anywhere in a coloured shell row turned EVERY column of it grey. `EditAnchors` anchored a buffer line only when it was BYTE-IDENTICAL to the shell row it stood over, so a single differing byte dropped the whole row's colour projection. Worst shape is invisible: append past the pane's right edge, where the text is clipped, and the row looks the same and only its colour goes. Anchoring is byte-level now. An edit leaves the row's own bytes at both ends, and being the same bytes they keep the same colours; only what was typed has no cell under it, so only that takes none. Live, on real `fastfetch`: a 32-column blue run split into 6 + 26 around one typed character. Three defects underneath it, all found by machinery rather than by reading: * A JOIN removes a buffer line while the buffer's covered span grows, so `lines == covered` and both aligned guesses — Nth line over the Nth covered row, and the same counted from the bottom — resolved to the SAME wrong row. Every untouched row below a join went plain. Anchoring is now a streaming monotone matching: one shell-row cursor that only ever moves forward, advanced once per buffer line, linear in the buffer where the version before it was quadratic. * An EMPTY line is not evidence. Splitting a row makes one, it equals every blank row in the span, and left free to look ahead it claimed the blank row below the last output and took every coloured row in between out of reach of the lines that owned them. * Reflow under a scrolled viewport. `PageList.getTopLeft(.viewport)` returns the viewport pin verbatim, x and all, while `PageList.pin` forces x to 0 — so after a reflow remapped a tracked pin into the middle of a row, the text pass dumped row 0 from that column while the colour pass paired the fragment with the row's FIRST cells. Row 0 wore its left half's colours until the pane snapped back to live output. `bodyText` dumps from column zero now, which is also what ghostty's own renderer draws. Also here: DECSCNM (reverse video) was silently dropped whenever `tty_filter` was off, because the raw path resolved a `.none` colour by role and never consulted the mode. The test that found the first two is the one worth keeping: random editing against an ABSOLUTE oracle — every row's own text names the colour it must have — because the differential oracle it replaced was blind by construction. It skipped the edited row, which is the row the user is complaining about. ## Esc returns to a pane without moving its view Esc in body normal mode runs `Last`, "the pane you were in before this one", and that went through `focusPaneLine`, which recentred a file on the target line unconditionally. So returning to a buffer repainted the whole screen to show a line that was already on it. `focusPaneLine` takes a landing now: `.center` for the three callers going somewhere you have not been (a look target, a path a pane already holds, `@pN:LINE:COL`), `.keep` for Esc. `.keep` leaves the view alone and lets `ensureCursorVisible` — which already existed and already scrolls by the minimum into the `scroll_off` band — be the only thing that may move anything. Not `line = 0`, which `focusPaneLine` already understands as "focus and touch nothing": a background pane's view can move while you are away, because the wheel scrolls the pane under the POINTER and a resize reveals no cursor, so the recorded cursor plus a minimal nudge is what actually gets you back. Ctrl-o and Ctrl-i keep centring, and the asymmetry is structural rather than arbitrary: `Last` only ever CROSSES panes, so the pane it lands on already holds the view you left it with, while `jumpBy` can land in the SAME pane, where a long in-file jump would arrive on the very top or bottom row with `scroll_off` lines of context on one side. Helix splits the same pair the same way — its jumplist centres, its buffer switch does not. One deliberate consequence: under `.keep` a PDF's page is not restored AT ALL, because a page reveal IS that pane's view and a reveal of the page you are already on still snaps `document_scroll_y` to that page's start, discarding where you had read to. When something moved the pane while you were away — the wheel again — Esc leaves it where the wheel left it, and Ctrl-o is how you reach the recorded page. ## host_io.zig: the machine-local half of a host, once `host.zig` is the seam. The part of the answer that is identical on every host with an operating system under it — fork a pane's shell, put bytes on a disk — was written FOUR times: in tty.zig, gui.zig, macos.zig and detached/server.zig. What those copies had in common says what they were for: all four were missing FD_CLOEXEC on the pty master, so in every shell pardes has shipped, a program in one pane could read another pane's terminal. One copy now, and the wire got smaller for it: `ServerMsg.spawn` is gone. A frontend never asked the server to fork anything — the server has an operating system under it and forks through `host_io` like every other host — and `decodeClient` lost the scratch buffer that message needed.
* 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.
