* a native macOS backend: libpardes plus an AppKit shellGabriel Schneider2026-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds -Dplatform=macos, a fourth backend beside tty, gui and web. Zig keeps the core, the ptys, every effect and the worker threads; Swift owns NSApplication, the window, input translation, and drawing the cell grid with CoreText. They meet at a hand-written C ABI in src/macos/pardes.h, built as a static library the app links. The ABI is src/web.zig's boundary with the wasm removed, because both hosts are the same animal: someone else owns the clock, feeds events in through flat functions, and reads one packed cell buffer out. The browser proved the shape. The one divergence is that the browser has no processes and forwards every effect to JavaScript, whereas forkpty is right here, so src/macos.zig performs them — spawn, write, resize_pty, save_file, new_file, write_dump, open_link, set_clipboard. lsp, pipe and watch are answered with nothing and marked; the core already tolerates that, since the browser answers none of them either. This deliberately inverts ghostty's split, which was studied first and is written up in docs/ghostty-macos-notes.md. Ghostty hands Zig a bare NSView*, installs its own CALayer and owns the frame clock; Swift never renders. Pardes does the opposite because its frame is already a cell grid and CoreText draws one natively — the alternative is a second hand-rolled glyph atlas, which is what most of gui.zig's 4,300 lines already are. It would also have been written blind: the Swift half cannot be compiled here. What makes the scaffold verifiable rather than dead code is that the Zig half is ordinary POSIX and builds and tests on Linux. Borrowing ghostty's best trick, build.zig translate-C's the header into the test build and src/macos.zig asserts every constant, struct layout, and exported function's arity and widths against it. That guard earned its place immediately: pardes_scroll grew a cell coordinate after the Swift view had been written against the older form. Skipped, and named as the upgrade path in docs/macos.md: the Xcode project, xcframework, lipo and codesigning ghostty needs. All four exist for distribution; a dev build is a swiftc invocation and a directory with a plist. The Swift app is a scaffold and says so — every uncertain API spelling carries an UNVERIFIED marker, and no part of it has been compiled. tty is unaffected: 75/75 snapshot scripts and both unit suites pass.

* a Look path can name a range, and search selects what it foundGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | file:LINE:COL-ENDLINE:ENDCOL, with the two short forms people actually type reading naturally: file:412:9-21 on one line, file:412-418 whole ones. Ends are inclusive. A path feature, not a search feature — a ranged path typed in a tag or middle-clicked out of a shell's output selects just the same; search is only its first consumer. The dash is the fussy part. `-` was already a file char, so a ranged word survives click expansion whole, but a range needs a number on BOTH sides or my-file:10, build-2 and 2026-07-30 would stop being paths. Table-driven test in look.zig for exactly that. Selecting goes through the cellRange/setPaneRange pair the multi-cursor work left, and hxOff clamps both ends, so a stale range selects what still exists rather than crashing or reaching past EOF — pinned with an 8:6-400:9 range in a nine-line file. Producers: / search, Grep, and five LSP sites through a new spanRow — goto, references, rename tokens and both symbol lists were throwing away real protocol ranges at path:line:col. Left alone deliberately: Find rows are bare paths with nothing to span, a jump is a spot not a span, and the diagnostic and format paths only ever have a point, where half a range would be worse than none. One knock-on worth knowing: n now leaves an EXPLICIT selection, so a topbar execute chords it. grep.snap's no-match step was silently becoming `Grep TARGET`; it runs from the leader path now, which never chords, and the dedicated chord steps stayed where they were.
* 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.

* posix portability: linux syscalls -> libc (std.c) in one shared path. All ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-08-01
| | | | raw std.os.linux.* call sites converted with the errno-convention flip (libc returns -1 + thread-local errno, not -errno): open/close/read/write/rename in tty.zig, gui.zig, look.zig; harness too (snapshot.zig: getcwd/mkdir/chdir/fork+waitpid/getdents64->opendir-readdir, e2e_harness.zig: clock_gettime/write/close), so the parity suite itself is POSIX-portable. Per-OS branches kept only where platforms genuinely diverge: shellCwd in look.zig (linux /proc/<pid>/cwd readlink; darwin libproc proc_pidinfo PROC_PIDVNODEPATHINFO with a hand-declared extern; other POSIX degrades to null), bash path (/usr/bin/bash on linux, /bin/bash elsewhere), TIOCSWINSZ constant (absent from std.c.T on darwin). forkpty/execv/chdir externs were already libc and are portable (fork-safety preserved: absolute-path execv, no malloc between fork and exec, initial spawns before worker threads). build.zig: forward target/optimize to the ghostty dep for native/cross (web keeps its no-target fetch), disable ghostty simd for darwin cross-builds (apple_sdk needs xcrun; scalar fallback = web config), link libutil on the BSDs. Pinned ghostty needs two one-line zig-0.16 darwin fixes, applied in the zig-pkg cache and documented in build.zig. Verified: aarch64-macos + x86_64-macos + x86_64-freebsd cross-compiles green; linux native tty + gui + web green; snapshot suite 18/18 with goldens untouched. Out of scope: gui-on-macos needs Metal shaders (SDL GPU rejects our SPIR-V there).
* pardes v2: the rewrite, complete and organized. src/ (core + three shells), ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-08-01
test/ (snapshot parity harness + 18 frozen goldens). One sans-IO core, vaxis tty + SDL3 GPU native + wasm web shells, 18/18 parity with the purged prototype, 7.6k lines vs 12.1k. Fix: gui shell pre-sized the core at init so the greet-releasing resize never fired (blank panes until first interaction); live sessions now init at defaults and get the real grid as a resize event (the shell contract, documented on Options).
