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.

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.

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.

Consolidate pane, layout, memory and host code. Serve 9P by default over Unix sockets, with runtime mounts and optional TCP/QUIC transports. Remove FUSE and obsolete proof-of-concept examples.
Fix highlighting and terminal-history performance, expand differential and stress-test infrastructure, sort navigation results while preserving the next occurrence, add syntax-colored Braille minimaps, remove SPC-k, and document 9P interaction as a repository skill.

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.

Step 3 of the 9P chain (docs/9p.typ 12.3, docs/registry.typ 9P-8). Nothing here
is about 9P: it lands in the FUSE-served tree and any later transport inherits it.
A script could write into a terminal that already existed and read its rendered
scrollback. It could not START one, RESIZE one or SIGNAL one. Two of those were
already effects the core emits, so `exec` and `winsize` are existing
capabilities acquiring a name; only `sig` is new, and it brings the one new
host method, `push_pty_signal`.
pty/ctl winsize <cols> <rows> | sig INT|TERM|HUP|QUIT|KILL | exec
one verb per line, validate-all then apply-all, EINVAL applies
nothing -- `writeCtl`'s shape and `writeCtl`'s reason
pty/status cols, rows, tty-taken as three %11d fields
pty/data write is input to the process; read is the RAW output stream,
gated on a reader count so a pane nobody reads costs one branch
A pane that is not a terminal has no pty/ at all: the lookup is ENOENT and
readdir does not list it.
`PaneFile` is an enum(u4) and this takes it from 11 values to 15. ONE REMAINS.
That is also why pty/ is a DIRECTORY and not three more flat names -- a
subdirectory costs one value and buys its own namespace, so `ctl` and `data`
did not have to be renamed.
Two things the core does not know, and which are therefore not invented: a
child's EXIT STATUS (a shell's death is `Event.eof`, which removes the pane,
so there is no directory left to read it in) and RAW/COOKED (the core never
sets a termios; the mode belongs to the program on the far side).
Verified live against a daemon: pty/ appears only on the terminal pane; a
`winsize 0 24` and a `sig SIGINT` are refused; a bad verb beside a good one
applies neither; `echo pty-works` written to pty/data runs in the shell and its
output reaches the body; and a blocking read of pty/data returns the raw stream,
OSC 133 marks and all. fs-bench unchanged and still zero allocations.

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.

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.
