* A PDF page taller than one raster is drawn at the size it is shown, in bands ↵Gabriel Schneider28 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | around the screen, not squeezed into 4096 rows and blown up The render geometry (pdf_bridge.c) clamped a page's LONGEST side to max_dimension: 4096 in the SDL policy, 1200 in Kitty's. A page 841.89 x 4818.9 pt, fit to a 1570 px wide pane, came out 715 x 4096 and was drawn 2.2 times too large at 1x, 4.4 times at 2x; Kitty's raster was 210 px wide. Every request now caps a raster ROW at max_dimension, and caps the height too only while that keeps the page at least as large as it is shown (RenderRequest.display_width/height, set from the fit). A tall page fit to width is rasterized at the pane's own width, in SDL, and at Kitty's 96 dpi as any other page is there. Such a page is not one buffer. A raster over 8192 rows (a texture's and Kitty's 10000-pixel limit) or over 64 MiB is banded (pdf_view.zig): its slot holds the rows on screen and a screenful either side, in 512-row chunks, and is rendered again, keeping the chunks it has, once the screen comes within half a screenful of its edge. Each chunk comes from its own render reaching 32 rows past both edges, so a row of the page is the same however it was scrolled to, and no chunk shows its clip edge: band rows are within 3 levels of a whole-page render (108 pixels of 45 million on the reported PDF). Highlights paint over the band's clean rows as over a page's, and the band uses the page's CTM, so search, selection and pointer geometry are unchanged. A display-list render now culls to the band (a scissor in page space). No pixel changes, but a frame that renders new rows of the reported page at 2x fell from 33-43 ms to 13-16 ms (pdf-scroll-bench, --cell 16x32). design.pdf's scroll-bench pixels are identical.

* Hand every C library's allocator hook the same C heapGabriel Schneider28 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C's malloc, calloc, realloc and free over a Zig allocator were written three times: syntax.zig's for tree-sitter, pdf.zig's for MuPDF, and gui.zig's for FreeType and HarfBuzz. They are now one, src/c_heap.zig's Heap. Each hook names the allocator variable its heap reads; gui.zig exports its heap under the ui_malloc names font.c and HarfBuzz call. It is a module of its own because pdf.zig is the MuPDF module, and a file cannot belong to that module and the core's at once. A block starts with a 16-byte header holding its size and the allocator that made it, so it goes back where it came from even after the heap is repointed, as the fonts' copy did. The fonts' copy carried the 16-byte Allocator itself in a 32-byte header; here the header holds the allocator's index in a table of every allocator a heap has used (entries are published once and never change, and a heap remembers where its current one was last found). The difference is measurable: with the 32-byte header, pardes-pdf-bench's filtered page render at 96 dpi took 1.1% longer than before this change, slower in 15 of 16 pinned rounds in two separate runs, and highlighting all of src/pardes.zig (305k tree-sitter blocks) up to 0.6% longer, against an A/A pair within 0.7%. With the 16-byte header both are back within the A/A pair's noise. Two other things change. For tree-sitter and MuPDF, a block made before the allocator was repointed now goes back to the one that made it rather than through the current one. For the fonts, realloc(block, 0) now frees and returns null, as glibc's does and as the other two copies already did; neither FreeType nor HarfBuzz asks for it. The heap's test replaces the tests of the old copies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* Repaint PDF highlights by row, send rasters by shared memory, and animate ↵Gabriel Schneider28 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | messages PDF highlights (hover preview, search, selection) are baked into page rasters, and any change re-rendered the whole page with MuPDF; the TTY then re-sent it as base64 (4.7 MB a page), the GUI as a new texture. Worse, a pointer motion over a PDF invalidated the page even when no preview was shown, so every motion paid that. Now: - A raster whose baked highlight set equals the wanted one is left alone. - A highlighted page keeps its clean rows (before highlights and tint); a change repaints only the rows of quads that differ, running MuPDF's highlight pass (pardes_pdf_paint_highlights) over those clean rows and tinting them: the operations a full render performs, so the pixels are identical. MuPDF band renders are NOT bit-identical to a whole page (edge rows, resampled images), so they are never used to patch; the comment claiming otherwise is corrected. - ImagePlace.patch hands shells the changed rows; the GUI uploads just those rows into the texture it holds. - The TTY probes kitty shared memory (t=s) with an id vaxis never reaches and sends rasters as a /dev/shm name when the terminal reads it; direct base64 otherwise (ssh). - Shells that take row patches (GUI, TTY with shm) repaint a selection while it is dragged instead of only on release. Latency elsewhere: - TTY: an animating frame no longer sleeps 16 ms blind; a tick thread posts into the input queue, so input inside the frame is handled at once. - TTY and GUI: queued pointer motions coalesce to the last. - GUI: a skipped swapchain image re-arms the frame (3 retries); animations still tick while nothing presents. - Editing: the line index is carried across an edit instead of rebuilt from a scan of the whole file per keystroke. Messages fall into their row (ease-in; the GUI slides the band out from under the tagline, a terminal fades it), stay until the next input as before, linger MessageLinger ms (default 800), and dissolve (ease-out). MessageAnimation toggles it; both are settings, in Config and startup files. The snapshot harness pins the old behaviour. The detached server now ticks animations. A restored terminal comes back live: the old screen and scrollback (dumped as clean VT by ghostty's formatter, replayed at the new size; older dumps fall back to their rendered text), a dim "restored history" marker, then a new shell in the directory it was in. Right-click on a line number in a file pane looks at that line (a sticky context header's number included). Measured with an external pty driver (TTY), an in-process fence trace (GUI, PARDES_TEST_LATENCY), and test/pdf_pointer_bench.zig (pixel identity against the baseline and a whole-page oracle); balanced A/A/B rounds, paired per-round statistics. Messages stack: each event gets its own row and its own fall, linger and dissolve; a line keeps its row until it leaves and a new one fills the first free row. Announcements and statuses are replaced in place, not stacked. MessageFall, MessageDissolve and DumpDir are settings Config reports. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
