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.

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.
