* | syntax: a results buffer is coloured as the code it quotesGabriel Schneider2026-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +Grep, +Search and every language answer render rows like src/look.zig:718:12-16 fn grepText(path: []const u8, text: []const u8... — a location, a space, and a piece of some file. The location names the file, the file names the grammar, and the rest of the row is a fragment of that language, so a grep over Zig reads as Zig and one Markdown row in the same buffer does not pretend otherwise. The location itself is left uncoloured: it is not code, and painting it as code is how a path starts looking like a keyword. `look.parsePathLine` decides what counts as a location — the same primitive n/N already walks these buffers with, so the two agree by construction about which rows are locations. NOT `lookableLineSpan`, which is n/N's whole heuristic: it calls `resolve`, and a `realpath` per row per scroll is not something a render path can afford. A bare filename is refused too; only `path:line` counts, or a prose line whose first word ended in `.md` would colour the rest of a sentence. THE BUFFER IS COLOURED WHOLE, ONCE, WHEN IT IS FILLED. An adversarial pass measured the obvious per-window implementation and it was untenable: the rows are independent, so a window pass buys no fidelity, only amortisation, and pays a burst on every scroll that outran the covered range. Grammars compile their highlights query on first use — zig 26.9ms, cpp 18.9ms, rust 14.3ms — so a polyglot grep showing six languages stalled a frame by 66ms, moving a cost the syntax module had deliberately put on "opening a file" onto a scroll. It also raised tree-sitter's allocation rate 3.5x (8,785 per refresh against 2,454) into a 16 MiB bump arena that only reclaims LIFO, so ~16 scroll re-highlights exhausted it — and that arena is shared with real file panes, so a results pane could evict editing. A grep is capped at 512 rows; colouring it once makes the covered-range check true forever after and scrolling free. The rest of that pass, in the same spirit: injections off for a single row (both build a SECOND parser, per fenced block and per inline node, which is absurd for one truncated row that almost never contains a fence), one query cursor for the buffer instead of one per row, a one-entry extension memo so non-matching rows stop paying a 29-spec scan, and NO highlights at all when nothing painted — an all-zero run is not the same as none, and it defeated `recolorSyntax`'s fast path, making every +Help and +Config walk its graphemes every frame to paint nothing. One correctness bug from the same pass: a failed `setLanguage` has already nulled the parser's language, so leaving `held` on the previous grammar made every later row of it skip the call and silently lose colour. Documents keep `.source`: a New scratch and a real file are output-shaped but have one language and an edit per keystroke, and `saves` is the line between the two.

* | messages: a fixed log of what the rows said, and a word to read it backGabriel Schneider2026-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A message row is cleared by the next keystroke, so anything reported while you were looking at another pane was gone before you could read it — a save that failed, a watcher's reload, a builtin's complaint. `setMessage` now records into a fixed ring first: no allocation and no failure path, because it sits underneath `reportError`, which is reached from sites that are reporting an allocation failure. `Messages` (`SPC h m`) reads it back oldest-first. Three things an adversarial pass found, each of which defeated the feature: PROGRESS IS NOT A MESSAGE. A language server emits `Indexing 47%` several times a second, and every tick is a distinct string BY CONSTRUCTION, so no de-duplication can collapse it: at the client's one-per-150ms throttle it takes about nineteen seconds to push every real message out of the ring. A log that one indexing run empties is not a log. That path is `setStatus` now — the row, and nothing else. THE CLOCK MADE EVERY HOST MESSAGE UNIQUE. `message.stamp` prefixes `HH:MM:SS`, so `saved /x.zig` at 14:32:07 and at :09 compared unequal and the ring filled with rows that look identical and each say (x1) — exactly the case the de-duplication exists for. It compares `message.body` now, the row without its clock, and the newest wording wins so the row carries the last time it happened rather than the first. It also keys on the PANE (one pane's failure must not be recorded as another's) and compares the truncated form, so two identical messages over 256 bytes stop being two rows. AND THE CAPACITY BELONGS IN limits.zig. 128 entries is 32.75 KiB that is allocated whether or not anybody reads it — 8.5% of the ESP32-P4's whole 384 KiB heap, about the size of its effect ring. The board takes sixteen. The builtins/leader goldens move because the listing gains a row, and builtins.snap middle-clicks a SCREEN COORDINATE that Tutor moved out of; both updated selectively and verified against a fresh run.

* | pipe: helix's other three shell commands, and its newline ruleGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `|` was the only one of helix's five. The other four differ in exactly two things — whether the selection is stdin, and where the output lands — so they are one action carrying a `PipeBehavior` rather than four code paths: | stdin is the selection, output REPLACES it (had this) A-| stdin is the selection, output discarded shell_pipe_to ! no stdin, output inserted BEFORE each selection shell_insert_output A-! no stdin, output appended AFTER each selection shell_append_output Each arms the same visible tag-tail prompt with its own marker (`|`, `|-`, `!`, `!+`) so the prompt says which one you are in — they take the same command line and do very different things to the buffer. Two helix rules came with them. A behaviour that sends no stdin runs the command ONCE and every cursor gets that one answer (helix's `shell_output` cache): ten cursors and `date` give ten identical stamps rather than ten forks racing to produce one. And a command that put a trailing newline on a selection which did not have one has it taken back off — that is what keeps a one-line `| tr a-z A-Z` from becoming two lines. The existing multi-range test moved with that rule and now pins it deliberately. In all three writing behaviours the OUTPUT is what ends up selected, keeping the original range's direction, so an operator can follow straight on from what the command just produced. `$` (`shell_keep_pipe` — drop the selections whose command exited nonzero) is still missing: it needs a per-selection verdict and the runner's answer is atomic. Noted in docs/helix-keys.md beside the `$` divergence already there.

* | pipe: a filter that fails says so, and `| head -1` stops failingGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two things made the selection pipe feel like it had never worked. It runs — test/snapshots/pipe.snap drives the real binary through a pty and filters `alpha beta` to `ALPHA BETA` — but it had no way to tell you when it did not, and one of its failure conditions was not a failure at all. IT NOW SAYS WHY. `runOne` read the command's stderr into memory and freed it two lines later, unread; every caller answered a failed filter with a bare `return`; `pipeResponse` had eight more silent exits under that. So `| trr` (a typo), `| grep nomatch` (exit 1), `| jq .` on bad JSON — all did nothing, said nothing, and left the text alone with no way to find out why. The runner carries a `Failure` home instead: which selection, what became of the command, and its own stderr. The core turns that into an `+Errors` buffer — acme's name for output that came from the program rather than from a word anybody clicked: | trr exit status 127 sh: line 1: trr: command not found An output buffer rather than the message row because the useful half of a shell failure is the text the shell wrote, and a 256-byte row would keep the label and throw away the reason. Focus stays with the file: `openRead` moves `p.active` to what it opens, which is right for a Grep you asked to read and wrong for a report you did not — you want to fix the command and press `|` again. A host with no `pull_pipe` at all (the detached daemon, the browser, the board) now says that too, instead of answering failure into the void. `| head -1` NOW WORKS. `writer_context.ok` was part of the success condition, so a command that stopped reading its stdin failed the filter even though it had done exactly its job: `head` takes the line it wants and closes the pipe, the write gets EPIPE, and a selection bigger than the 64 KiB pipe buffer was enough to trigger it. helix joins its input task and ignores the result for this reason; the exit status is the whole verdict. Also reported rather than swallowed: the ten-second timeout, the output ceilings, and a file edited while the filter ran — one keystroke during a slow command used to discard the result in a way indistinguishable from the filter doing nothing.

* | chords: Look and Exec act once per selection, and say when they cannotGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both acme chords read the PRIMARY range and dropped every other cursor on the floor — the one thing a multi-cursor editor must not do with a command the user aimed at all of them. They are also structurally outside the machinery that would have handled it: the Enter/Tab chord is intercepted before `handleNormal` so it never becomes an Action with a scope, and `runBuiltin` bails on `multiOnce` anyway, because a builtin is per-keystroke rather than per-cursor. So `chordEachSel` takes the `submitPipe` shape instead: `paneRanges` once, forward in document order, every range's bytes COPIED before the first builtin runs. The copy is not caution — a `Look` opens panes and an `Exec` can run a builtin that edits or closes the pane those offsets point into, and a selection whose text is `Del` is a legal Exec. The loop re-checks the slot and its serial between iterations, the same guard `replaySels` makes for the same reason. With one cursor it returns false on the first line and the old path runs untouched. FOCUS FOLLOWS THE PRIMARY. `lookAt` sets `p.active` for every target it opens, so `Look` over four selections used to leave you at whichever one happened to sort last — an accident rather than an answer. ...AND A LOOK WITH NOWHERE TO PUT ITS ANSWER SAYS SO. All four slot checks in `lookAt` were a bare `orelse return`: with one selection that merely felt like a dead key, and with several it means "I opened nine of your fourteen and told you nothing". They report `NoPaneSlots` now, through the channel output_pane.zig already raises it on and a test already pins. The three openers report their own failure too, so a file that will not open says whether it was permission, a pipe, or size — which `look.readFile` only started distinguishing this week. Known and left: N selections that all resolve to nothing run N searches over one +Search buffer. Wasteful, converges, and worth its own change.

* | grep: one file it cannot read is not the end of the searchGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `look.grep` aborted the whole walk and returned `OpenFailed` the moment any file refused to open. One root-owned 0600 file in the tree — or one deleted between the walk and the read, which is routine in a build tree — turned a search of ten thousand files into zero results and a word on the message row that explains nothing. A grep is a question about the files you can read, and the ones you cannot are not an answer to it: they are skipped now, along with a read that fails partway. Opened NONBLOCK for the reason readFile has it, so a FIFO in the tree cannot stop the search until somebody writes to it.

* | errors: a mistyped flag is a sentence, and a pipe is not a documentGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every argv refusal in main.zig was `return error.BadArgs` out of `main`, which std prints as `error: BadArgs` with a return trace under it — the same shape a real crash has, for the most ordinary thing a person can do. It also said `BadArgs` and nothing about which argument, at sites that knew exactly: pardes: no such option: --hepl pardes: -n takes 1 or 3, not 'abc' pardes: one file or directory at a time, and 'b' is the second pardes: --detach and --attach are opposites: one runs the session, the other joins one Try 'pardes --help'. stderr rather than the `+Errors` pane one function down, because argv is read before a core exists and the person who mistyped a flag is looking at the prompt they typed it into. `--attach`'s refusal already answered this way; now all eleven do. `getcwd` failing is no longer reported as an argument problem, and a `.url` or `@pN` positional says why a LAUNCH cannot act on it rather than being swept into the same word as a typo. AND `Look` ON A FIFO NO LONGER FREEZES THE EDITOR. `readFile` opened with a plain blocking `open`, so a named pipe with no writer waited forever — inside the keystroke that asked, with no frame, no message row and, in the tty shell, no Ctrl-C either, because the terminal is in raw mode. It is `O_NONBLOCK` now, the read loops answer `EAGAIN` rather than waiting, and `lseek` answering ESPIPE — a pipe, a socket, a terminal — is refused as `NotAFile`, which the boot pane spells "that is a pipe or a device, not a document". Without that last part an unwritten FIFO read as EOF and opened a silent empty pane, which says less than the hang did. The zero-size files worth streaming (procfs and its kin) seek fine and are untouched.

* | errors: a save that could not happen, and two panics on an ordinary clickGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A review of what this program does when the environment says no. The finding that reframes it: there were almost NO panics on ordinary paths — the rule already held — but there was a great deal of silence, and one case worse than any panic. SILENT DATA LOSS ON SAVE. `saveFile` marked the pane saved the moment it QUEUED the effect, before any host had tried; `host_io.writeFd` returned void, so a short or failed write was indistinguishable from a complete one; and `writeFileBytes` returned true regardless. A save to a read-only file, or into a directory removed under the pane, therefore cleared the tag's ` *` and posted nothing — and `Del` makes no dirty check, so the next click threw the edits away with the screen saying they were safe. On a full disk it was worse: the file is already `O_TRUNC`'d when `write` fails, so the message row said `saved` over a file that had just been emptied. Now: `writeFd` reports, `writeFileBytes` returns WHY (`PermissionDenied`, `NoSpaceLeft`, `ReadOnlyFilesystem`, …) including a failed `close`, which is where write-back filesystems report at all; the core marks the pane saved around `perform` rather than at emit, which is also where the bytes are read; and a host that could not write calls `Pardes.saveFailed`, which puts the reason on the message row and takes the clean mark back. That is a CALL and not a return value because host.zig enforces, at comptime, that a `push_` method reaching every host in a fan-out cannot have one answer — the first attempt at this changed the signature and the compiler was right to refuse it. TWO PANICS ON AN ORDINARY KEYSTROKE, in look.zig's number scans. `v = v * 10 + d` over caller-supplied digits, reached from `parsePathLine` and the `@pN` scan — which every Look, every right-click and every n/N motion runs on whatever word is under the pointer. A hash in a log, a CSV column, any output shaped `foo:99999999999999999999`, and the editor died with "integer overflow". Both saturate now, the same way acmefs.zig's address parser already did; a saturated line is refused by `file_pane.open`'s `line <= total` and a saturated pane id by `focusPaneLine`'s `id < MAX_PANES`, so nothing addressable changes. A BOOT FILE THAT WILL NOT OPEN joins the missing-name case in the `+Errors` pane instead of taking the launch down: `pardes /root` resolves as a `.file`, could not be read, and left `error: PermissionDenied` and a return trace. `look.readFile` now says which errno it was, so the pane can say "permission denied" rather than a word from the source code. The tag-marker test drained no effects and passed anyway, which is exactly the defect; it drains now.

* | boot: the errors pane keeps the launch directory, and a typo inside pardes ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stays one line Two defects in the +Errors boot, both found by adversarial re-review. The pane was opened with `dir = ""` — copied from the board's boot buffer, which can afford it because that platform has no filesystem — so its path came out `/+Errors` and `paneDir` answered `/`. An output pane's directory is where a `Grep` from it walks, where its `Newtty` spawns a shell and what its `Save` prefills, so the boot screen rooted all three at the filesystem root, and the one word the pane prints resolved against `/` and could never be clicked. The launch directory rides in `Options.missing` beside the word now, and the test asserts the pane's path rather than only its contents. A typo INSIDE pardes stacked a second full-screen UI. The hand-off block above resolves the word and sends it to the outer instance; `.none` sent nothing and fell through, which was harmless while the classification below refused it and became the one input that stacks the UI that block exists to prevent — with no shell pane in it, so the only way out is `Del`. Its own comment said as much and was falsified by the +Errors boot. `.none` is refused in that shell now, in one line and without a stack trace, and the outer session is not told: `Look` on a word naming nothing is not something to do to somebody else's session. Also recorded, not fixed: the commonest permission case never reaches the `.dir` arm this arm's comment defends. `look.isDir` probes with O_DIRECTORY| O_RDONLY, so a directory you cannot read resolves as `.file` and dies in `file_pane.open` with `error.OpenFailed` out of `main` — still a trace at a human, and a different fault than the one fixed here.

* | crash: a panic record must not be able to hang the process it is recordingGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adversarial re-review, confirmed against std's source and then measured. `captureCurrentStackTrace` is not the safe half of `writeCurrentStackTrace`. `StackIterator.init` picks the `.di` strategy whenever `SelfInfo` can unwind, `stratOk` accepts `.di` regardless of `allow_unsafe_unwind`, and `.di` takes `SelfInfo`'s rwlock EXCLUSIVELY on its first call — the only kind of call a panic record makes — across `dl_iterate_phdr`, a DWARF CFI machine and an allocation. A panic in there (a smashed stack is a leading reason to be in a panic handler at all) leaves the lock held, because the unlock is a `defer` in a frame that never returns, and `defaultPanic` then waits on it for the life of the process. A crash becomes a hang, which is worse than what this file was added to improve on. The frames stay on stderr, where defaultPanic prints them under the staging that makes them safe; the record keeps what can be gathered without asking the process any questions. ONE record per process, never released. With the guard released on the way out, one panic wrote two records: the real message, then "reached unreachable code" under it. That second panic is this handler's own `vaxis.recover()` running a second time — it closes the vaxis tty and never clears the global saying there is one, so the double close is `recoverableOsBugDetected` and an `unreachable` in a Debug build. Guarded now in both the panic and the segfault handler; that half is a fix older than the crash file. `clock_gettime`'s return is checked, unlike dump.zig's, because a failure here leaves `ts` undefined and an undefined large-positive `sec` walks `calculateYearDay`'s u16 year past 65535 and overflow-panics inside the panic handler. Debug fills it with 0xaa and lands in 1970, which is why it reads as harmless. Verified end to end with a temporary probe: one panic, one record.

* | boot: argv naming nothing opens an errors pane, not a stack traceGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `pardes nosuchfile` returned error.BadArgs out of nativeMain, which std prints as `error: BadArgs` with a return trace under it — indistinguishable from a crash, for a typo, and it left the human with no editor at all. A launch that names something look.resolve cannot make a target of now boots one +Errors pane filling the window, saying `file or directory not found` and the argument AS TYPED: acme's own vocabulary for output that came from the program rather than from a word somebody clicked, and the word rather than a resolved path because `pardes ~/notes/tdoo.md` wants to see its own typo back. A chdir that fails on a directory that really is one stays BadArgs. That is a permission problem rather than a typo, and the two want different answers.

* | detached: a big screen can attach, and the frame it asks for fits the wireGabriel Schneider2026-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | crash: a panic writes itself down beside the init file, where stderr cannot ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-09-03
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lose it Every crash this program has ever had went to stderr and nowhere else, and stderr is the one place it cannot keep anything. In the tty shell stderr IS the screen, so the trace lands on the grid the terminal is being reset out of; the SDL and AppKit shells have no terminal at all; a --detach session's goes wherever its launcher left it. src/crash.zig appends a record to <config dir>/crashes first: one line naming the build (version, commit, UTC, os-arch, pid) and under it the panic message and the frames behind it. RETURN ADDRESSES and not the symbolised trace, which is measured rather than chosen. `std.debug.writeCurrentStackTrace` called from a panic handler BEFORE defaultPanic wedges the process at 0% CPU: symbolising reads DWARF, that read can itself panic, and the staging which turns a nested panic into "aborting due to recursive panic" is defaultPanic's own and private. Reproduced in a standalone build with this program's std_options_debug_io and inside a test binary. `captureCurrentStackTrace` only walks frames, so the addresses go in the file and `addr2line -e` finishes the job; stderr still gets the symbolised trace from defaultPanic, unchanged. The AppKit shell gets a panic handler of its own here too: the macOS build roots at macos.zig, so main.zig's had never run there — in the shell with the least useful stderr of the four. The config directory is COPIED rather than borrowed, because that host's lives in an arena its own errdefer frees. One record at a time, so two panicking threads cannot interleave into one buffer.

* hosts: the effects three shells kept a copy of become one, and the mac's own ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bugs go with them Nine read-only scouts compared every host-side concern across `src/macos.zig`, `src/tty/tty.zig`, `src/gui/gui.zig` and `src/detached/server.zig`. What they found was not a style problem: each duplicated body had drifted, and in every case the drift WAS a bug the users of that shell could see. So the fixes and the deduplication are the same change. **One PATH, adopted before the first fork.** LaunchServices hands a bundle launchd's environment, whose `PATH` is `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`. Every pty shell, `|` filter and language server the app forked inherited it, so `yazi` in `/opt/homebrew/bin` was absent from a Dock launch and present in the identical binary run from a terminal — the "it worked briefly" window was simply the sessions started from a shell. `shell_bin.adoptSystemPath` composes `/etc/paths` then `/etc/paths.d/*` in the order `path_helper` reads them, deduplicating on first occurrence, and runs once at startup in all four native hosts. It APPENDS: an entry already present keeps its position, so running it over a real session cannot demote a mise shim behind `/usr/bin` and silently change which `node` runs. A `PATH` that was configured is left byte-for-byte alone; only one nobody configured is repaired. `prepareForFork` folds that adoption together with the prompt-rc staging and the `BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING` setenv the five hand-copied prefork sites had between them — `server.zig` had none of it, which is why every detached pane opened with Apple's zsh banner. **The LSP protocol client never worked on macOS.** It opened its control socket with `libc.SOCK.CLOEXEC`; Zig defines that constant for Linux and Darwin answers `socketpair` with `EPROTONOSUPPORT`, so the call failed before any fork, `ensure` returned `error.NoServer`, and every row in the spec table — rust-analyzer, clangd, gopls — was unreachable in every macOS build. The in-process ZLS backend kept answering, which is what made it read as "only Zig is supported". It is a plain socket plus `fcntl(FD_CLOEXEC)` now, the route `fuse.zig:943` and `nested.zig:95` already took for the same reason. The snapshot suite that covered this path had never run natively on a Mac: the harness targets defaulted to x86_64-linux. **One LSP host worker.** `src/lsp_host.zig` is the snapshot, the worker body and the job lifetime that `tty.zig` and `gui.zig` carried verbatim — `gui.zig` said so in a comment — and that `macos.zig` did not carry at all: `lsp` and `pipe` were absent from its `Host.VTable`, so the core answered its own empty answer, `SPC l i` rendered a blank panel and a `|` filter silently did nothing. All three shells share the module, and the AppKit host implements both effects. Its status sink is now REGISTERED as well as defined, so unsolicited server news reaches the message row instead of nowhere. **The animation clock measures time.** `pardes_animation_tick` advanced one scene frame per callback and published `frame_count / 60`, so scene time was a count of callbacks rather than elapsed seconds — and `AppDelegate` re-armed `asyncAfter(.now() + 0.016)` only after the previous frame's work had finished, making the true period 16 ms plus all of it. Motion ran at about three quarters of wall clock and unevenly. The tick now spends measured monotonic time in whole `frame_ns` steps and banks the remainder, so a late callback advances two frames instead of stretching one; `spendTickTime` is that arithmetic as a pure function with its own tests and no display attached. On macOS 14+ the animating run is one `CADisplayLink` phase-locked to vsync rather than a chain rebuilt after every frame; macOS 13 keeps the old chain. **Three more single definitions.** `panel_animation.paintOrder` is the moving-then-opening-then-closing composite order as a rule the core applies once in `Pardes.render` — `macos.zig` was re-sorting an already-sorted list. `selection_pipe.Tasks` is the bounded in-flight pipe table `tty.zig` and `gui.zig` each declared. `boxContains` was a fourth copy of the half-open cell test and is now an alias of `Box.contains`. **A filtered terminal stops asking libm per cell.** `Filter`'s legibility stage called `RGB.contrast` for every painted cell, and that ends in `std.math.pow` up to six times, re-deriving a ratio against a background that had not moved; the existing memo cache covered the palette reduction beside it and never this. The indexed path's input is a `u8`, so all 256 answers are enumerated once per pass — after the default roles are fixed, before the first cell is read — and what a cell names becomes an array index. Only truecolour still reduces. ReleaseFast, 190x56, Tracy: recolour 3.09 ms -> 0.130 ms, frame 3.37 ms -> 0.299 ms. The comptime luminance table is pinned to `RGB.luminance` and `RGB.contrast` by exact-equality test over every channel value and all 65 536 palette pairs, because the decision is a threshold comparison where one ULP is a different colour. A `filterInit` Tracy zone records the part that is still per-pass: 2.9 us warm against a 117 us pass, which is the measurement that says not to cache it across frames. Released as 0.0.2. `build.zig.zon` carries the version into `pardes --version` and into the `Changelog` pane through `@embedFile`, so the entries above open a `## 0.0.2` section and `## 0.0.1` closes with the tagline work of the parent commit. Two bugs here were mine, caught by review rather than by me: a double free in the macOS pipe drain arm (`Msg.free` already owns the response) that segfaulted the app on the first `|`, and a proposed `getRowAndCell` optimisation that targeted 2 of 43 draw samples while the contrast math beside it took 12 — and would not have compiled. The profile that justified it was a Debug build, which `build.zig:1160` already documents as ~5x slower than release. Native and -Dplatform=macos suites: 0 failures. All targets build with Tracy on and off; the shipped release binary contains no `___tracy_emit_zone_begin`. App reinstalled, signature verified, dmg regenerated, launched with 0 crash reports; installed binaries verified byte-identical to a fresh build.
* macos: one tagline rule for both hosts, a kqueue beside the inotify, and ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | effects that compile Three things this shell had its own copy of, and in each case the fix is that it stops having one. **The tagline band.** A pane tag draws at `gui_tagline_font_percent` of the body face and the band it sits on shrinks with it, while the grid row stays body-sized — so something has to decide where the shorter band sits in the taller row. This shell decided by centring, always, which is precisely the case `config.gui_topbar_pane_border_px` exists to prevent: the topbar's unused half-band meets the first pane tag's unused half-band and the window background shows through the seam. The strip is as wide as the bands are short — on a 20-pixel cell, 4 physical pixels at the default 82%, 10 at 50%, 14 at 30% — so it grew as the tagline face shrank and read as "the tagline is wrong on the mac" rather than as one missing rule. The rule is `pardes.taglineBandOffset` in the core now and both pixel hosts call it: row zero bottom-aligned, the first pane-tag row top-aligned, the two joined by `gui_topbar_pane_border_px` in the theme's scrollbar-track colour, every row between centred, and a `Tagbottom` band on the final row flush with the window edge — with the sub-cell strip beneath it painted in that band's own colour, because the core grid holds only whole cells and a window is any height it likes. `pardes_tagline_band_offset`, `pardes_topbar_pane_border_px` and `pardes_topbar_pane_border_rgb` carry it over the C ABI as PHYSICAL pixels: the host multiplies its points by the backing scale going in and divides coming out, which is the snapping `Metrics` already does for the cell, and is what keeps a one-pixel rule one pixel instead of a two-pixel smear. **The watch.** `file_watch.zig` was one mark/reconcile transaction over `inotify`, so the tty shell, the SDL window and the detached daemon all watched nothing off Linux: an edit made outside pardes never reached the pane, and a PDF replaced on disk kept rendering the old inode. It is the same transaction over two kernels now — `init`, `wait`, `stop`, `drain`, `markDir` and `unmarkDir` are still the whole of it, and the hosts wait on a kqueue and poll it exactly as they did the old descriptor. A macOS mark is TWO filters, because a kqueue directory filter reports its entries changing and never a write to a file already inside it: the parent mark follows rename-over saves, `markFile` catches in-place writes, and `remarkFile` re-arms the file filter once a rename has moved the inode. That is the same pair the AppKit host's DispatchSources already used for the same reason. Directory marks are deduplicated here by device and inode, because each `EVFILT_VNODE` filter needs a descriptor of its own and inotify did that deduplication itself; `stop` and `drain` wake through the one `EVFILT_USER` filter, since a kqueue cannot simply be read the way an inotify descriptor can. **The effects.** The three `crt.ci.metal` entry points are `extern "C" [[stitchable]]`. `CIKernel.kernels(withMetalString:)` compiles that source at runtime, looks for stitchable functions, and rejects the WHOLE source with "cannot find a valid stitchable Metal function in the source" when it finds none — so `ScenePostprocessor.init?` returned nil and every scene effect and panel transition silently degraded to the plain CoreText draw. The `effect_sources.zig` test pins the exact spelling of all three, and `draw-effect` in the e2e suite catches the degradation rather than the spelling. Beside them, the offscreen harness owes the core a PRESENTATION. Its window is borderless and never ordered front, so AppKit runs no display cycle and `pardes_frame_presented` — whose only caller is `draw(_:)` — never fired. The core holds pointer gestures inert while a layout mutation has not reached a backend, which for an unpresenting harness is the rest of the script: the first pane a script opened silently killed every later click, drag and Look. So `readFrame` presents what it just rendered, into a bitmap nobody reads. `PARDES_CHROME` also looks under `/Applications`, where a browser's executable lives inside an application bundle and never on `PATH`. The macOS goldens are regenerated; docs/macos.md, config.md, detached.md, web.md and the design PDF follow.
* lsp: a protocol client for every other language, narrated on the message rowGabriel Schneider2026-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The seam grows a second backend: src/lsp/lsp_client.zig speaks JSON-RPC to child language servers — rust-analyzer, clangd, gopls, tsserver, pyright are rows in a spec table — while the in-process ZLS analyser keeps .zig. One reader thread per server owns the socket, routes responses to a mailbox under the conn mutex (monotonic condvar), answers server-to-client requests, feeds the diagnostics store, and narrates $/progress and state changes through a status sink both native shells post to the transient message row: "rust-analyzer: cargo check 88% 955/1083" lands where a save narrates, with the same clock. Chatty progress is throttled and deduplicated; settled states always land, which is also what makes the goldens deterministic. Nothing wedges and nothing healthy dies: waits are deadline-bounded, a timeout cancels and returns no rows, three consecutive timeouts restart the server ONLY while it is idle (an indexing server is narrating its own excuse), spawn and handshake failures back off 10s to 2min, a crash shortly after ready counts as a failure, and only a missing binary disables a spec. PARDES_LSP_{RS,C,GO,TS,PY} override binaries; empty disables; the snapshot harness pins RS to test/lspmock.zig and empties the rest. Mutating answers really mutate now: the @put record beside rename @edit carries per-range text, so = applies the formatter (both backends) and a same-file WorkspaceEdit rename applies atomically, one undo step, narrated ("renamed 2 range(s)"); a multi-file rename previews as rows instead of half-applying. Malformed responses fail closed: coordinates validated not clamped, one bad TextEdit poisons the whole edit set, poison frames kill the connection instead of buffering forever, decoded control bytes reject a uri, hierarchy items too deep to reserialize are skipped. Four kinds helix does not have, on SPC l: c/C incoming/outgoing calls (rows are call sites), t/T super/subtypes. Pull diagnostics (3.17) preferred when advertised. Help gains a language-keys footer for the motions no builtin row could carry; lsp.rel and look.grep now share one path-shortening rule. zig build lspprobe drives the seam from the CLI (comma-separated kinds share one server); measured against a 1083-crate workspace warm: gd 26ms, gr 213 rows 165ms, incoming calls 212 sites 197ms, document symbols 670 rows 347ms. docs/lsp.md tells the whole story; lsp-evaluation.md gets an addendum.

* detached: a frontend that has not finished reading is not a screen that differsGabriel Schneider2026-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `detached session: input from a frontend reaches the core and comes back as a diff` failed about three runs in five, always the same way: cell 122, the core holding `g` and the frontend a space. Cell 122 on a 60-wide grid is row 2 column 2, and row 2 is the pane shell's first line — the `g` is the front of `goblin@pardes ...`, the prompt bash printed into the pty at whatever moment it felt like. Nothing in the transport was wrong. The frame carrying that prompt was sent, arrived, and was sitting unread in the client's socket: instrumenting the mismatch printed `drained 1 more queued messages` and then `same after drain: true`. `pumpUntil` returns the instant it decodes the message it was asked for and abandons the rest of the burst, while every `pump` presents one frame. One `c.wait(5)` that times out — and under a loaded test binary one does — buys a second pump before the first frame is read, and from there the client is one frame behind for the rest of the test. Harmless while the only thing in that frame is nothing; a cell that differs the moment a forked shell writes its prompt. So the assertion was comparing the core's NOW against the frontend's THEN, and the fix is the one this file already made for two frontends: converge. `pumpUntilShowsCore` is `pumpUntilSameScreen` with one client instead of two — pump, wait, drain EVERYTHING, compare — checked before the first pump so a test already in sync spends nothing, and handing its last comparison to `expectSameScreen` so a transport that genuinely drops a cell still fails by naming it rather than by timing out. Both single-frontend screen assertions take it; the two-frontend one already had its own. 8/8 clean gui runs against 3-failures-in-5 before, and the tty suite's 457 unchanged.
