* A fourth platform: pardes as ESP32-P4 firmware, bytes in and bytes outGabriel Schneider2026-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `-Dplatform=p4 -Dtarget=riscv32-freestanding` emits a single freestanding OBJECT exporting a seven-function C ABI, not an executable. The board's toolchain (../05-zig-p4) owns `_start`, the linker script and the UART driver and links this in. The seam is bytes rather than types, so neither side can accidentally depend on the other's internals, and a signature that drifts fails at link time. The serial line is the whole of the I/O. `src/p4.zig` drives vaxis unchanged over it: the renderer is a byte writer and `queryTerminalSend` is a byte writer, so the terminal emulator on the host answers the capability handshake and the firmware sees a real terminal. Measured going out over the wire on attach: alt screen, in-band resize, cursor report, kitty keyboard, kitty graphics, DA1. THREE WORDS EXIST ONLY HERE. `src/board_memory.zig` implements `Peek`, `Poke` and `Hexdump`, gated on `builtin.os.tag == .freestanding and !isWasm()` - derived from the TARGET, because they are a property of running with no OS under you rather than a product option, and because wasm is freestanding too and is exactly what must be excluded: in a browser an address is an offset into the linear memory this editor's own heap lives in. Every access goes through `*allowzero volatile`: a peripheral register is not memory, and address 0 is an ordinary unmapped address on this bus. One 4 KiB cap per command, set by the console rather than the memory - an unbounded dump would wedge the only console the board has for eleven hours. Measured on ESP32-P4 rev v1.3 silicon, driven from a host terminal: Peek 0x501101a4 0x0e63ce71, then 0xaeaa6919 on a second read - the RNG register, so the volatile loads are not folded Poke 0x5011002c 0xdeadbeef LP_STORE0; a later Peek returned 0xdeadbeef Hexdump 0x5011002c 32 16 bytes a row, hex columns and an ASCII gutter Peek 0x50110001 `peek: MisalignedAddress` on the message row That last line is the one that matters. A misaligned 32-bit access traps, and a trap in firmware is a watchdog reset that takes the session with it, so the check that turns it into a message is the reason the file is hand-written rather than a generic reader. BARE METAL BOOTS AN EMPTY OUTPUT BUFFER. Every other boot layout in `init` makes a shell, and on this platform that is not a preference but an impossibility: nothing to fork, no pty to give a terminal pane. Booting one anyway produced precisely what that describes - a pane whose tag ends in `Filter`, no gutter, no buffer, and every keystroke vanishing into the Fallback's silent pty. An output buffer is also what the platform's own words want, since Peek, Poke and Hexdump each fill one. Sized for the board rather than for a desktop: * `allocators.zig` gains a p4 tier that is ALL fallback - every capacity is zero, so each arena spills immediately to the 384 KiB heap the firmware hands over, and no megabyte-shaped static reservation lands in `.bss`. * `source_manifest.zig`'s allowlist is EMPTY on p4. The table is ~0.95 MiB of rodata against a 1.5 MiB flash partition; the firmware's filesystem is the serial host's, through the Host vtable. * The grid is clamped and the clamp is measured, not guessed: every cell is paid for four times (vaxis Screen + InternalScreen, pardes Surface + previous_cells), so 40x12 fits and 80x24 exhausts the heap during `Pardes.init`. * `Vaxis.resize` deinits both screens before allocating replacements, so a failed resize leaves vaxis rendering nothing. The p4 shell keeps the previous geometry on failure instead of leaving a half-applied one. Also here: `output_pane_integration_test.zig` had an exhaustive switch over `Platform` that adding `.p4` left unhandled, which broke `zig build unit-test` outright - the native test binary is the one consumer no platform build compiles. 346 tests pass again.

* motion, scrolling and redraw are flat in file size nowGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zig build perf drives the core directly — event, effects, one frame, no pty — over four generated fixtures: 1k lines, 50k, 300k, and 400 lines of 8000 columns, because a file that is long and a file that is wide fail differently. Every sample seeks somewhere else in the file first, since measuring at line 3 of a 300k-line file hides exactly the bug. perf record said half the run was scanning for newlines from byte 0. So File carries a line index, built on demand and invalidated in exactly ONE place — setContent, the funnel every content swap already goes through. That killed the scrollbar's per-frame line count (12.6% of the whole run by itself), scrollBy, ensureCursorVisible, lastNavRow, the syntax window bounds and two O(scroll) walks. normalKey computed max_line as a const at the top: two full passes over the buffer on every keystroke of every kind, for three g/G branches. It is lazy now. The modal primitives each walked the text twice for the same line. And the visible window was re-parsed on every scrolled row — a third of a megabyte per keypress on the wide fixture. The highlighted range is remembered, a scroll inside it is free, and only a re-parse that FOLLOWS a scroll takes slack: doing it unconditionally made typing 2.1x slower, since every character paid for a band it could never amortise. One j on a 19 MB file: 37.8ms -> 266us. Render: 4.1ms -> 77us. Open costs 1.25x more for the one extra pass, which buys 54x on every frame after, and 8 bytes per line of memory. Left standing, measured and named: edit-char is 14ms on 19MB because content is immutable and every keystroke copies the buffer. A third of that is the index rebuild, which could be a shift if setContent knew the edit offset; the rest wants a rope. bodyText's double copy and Surface.print's per-cell decode never rose above 2% of the profile afterwards, so they were left alone. No golden moved.
* open files follow the disk, and undo is the merge strategyGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An external update is pushed onto the undo stack exactly like an edit the user typed, so unsaved work is one `u` away and pardes never has to merge anything. That is the design, not an implementation detail: the whole feature is pushUndo() then setContent(). One inotify instance in the tty shell, blocking in readVec through std.Io on a concurrent task started beside the pty readers — after loop.start(), so the forkpty ordering is untouched. It watches the containing DIRECTORY, because an editor rewrites by rename-over and a watch on the file would follow the dead inode, and it listens for CLOSE_WRITE rather than MODIFY, which is one event per finished writer and most of the debounce for free. Our own Save does not reach the undo stack: each watch keeps a hash of the bytes last seen on disk and save_file restamps it. A hash rather than mtime and size because the reload has to read the file anyway. The core stays sans-IO — one watch effect out, one file_changed event in, and a shell that cannot watch simply never sends the event, which is what the gui and the web platform do. Linux only; fanotify is what the build system uses and is rejected in a comment: it exists for thousands of directories across mounts, and sixteen panes of inotify is a third of the code with no kernel floor. New golden filewatch: edit without saving, overwrite from a shell in another column, watch it reload, undo, get the unsaved edit back. None moved.
* config.zig: every binding and every piece of Look syntax in one fileGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Retargeting a key, a mouse chord or a spelling is now an edit to src/config.zig and nothing else. Three parts in reading order: pardes's own bindings (where a reader lands), the Look/Exec syntax, then the helix keymap under a banner saying hxdiff/hxparity are differential suites against real helix, so a key moved there is a divergence and not a tweak. The bindings are data a comptime loop can walk, because the builtin index is going to walk them. Duplication this cut: is/isC/isA became one hit(key, chords) over ~132 call sites, and a binding being a LIST collapses the letter-or-arrow chains; swap_enter_tab is gone, replaced by look_key/exec_key that can point anywhere; the four focus builtins' h/j/k/l lived hardcoded in two places and is now one table. No golden moved.
* structure: backends into src/{tty,gui,lsp}, pane kinds and builtins into ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-08-01
their own files The core now lies FLAT at src/ and every subdirectory is one backend, so a file being in no directory at all is what says it is core. Pane-kind bodies leave pardes.zig for term_pane.zig / file_pane.zig / output_pane.zig, leaving it the layout, the event/effect machine and the generic render loop. Builtins are one struct each in builtins.zig, and the enum is folded out of the file's own declaration list at comptime — a zig file IS a struct, so the list of builtins and the builtins themselves are the same text. Adding one is writing a struct. Key paths deliberately stay one table for the config pass. Pure refactor: no golden moved.
