| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pane, as Esc does from normal, and a raw program never sees it; Ctrl-b alone toggles raw Shift-Esc switched a terminal in normal or insert mode into raw, so the one key meant to get out of anything got a script or a person into a program instead. It is now handled before any mode: an open prompt is closed, insert mode left, a pending count dropped, and Last runs, the pane keeping its mode (a raw terminal stays raw). Ctrl-b is the only switch between raw and normal. The keymap's two chords become one, back_out; the cheatsheet row, the guide's mode table and the tutor say so, and the tty and builtins goldens are re-recorded.

* The Tutor pane is named +Tutor in the session's directory, not /TutorGabriel Schneider33 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | Every other generated pane is named `<dir>/+<Name>`: +New, +Errors, the outputs. Tutor alone was a bare `/Tutor`, a real path at the root, so a Save would try to write there, and /index listed it as if it were a file. A scan of the other generated panes found no other bare absolute name. The three snapshot goldens that show the Tutor tag were re-recorded by name (tutor, builtins, leader).

* Config opens the startup file, DumpConfig the settings report, and the ↵Gabriel Schneider33 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | workspace tag reads Dump Themes Config Debug Exit Config (SPC f c) opens init, found as the settings report finds it (opts.startup_config_path: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pardes/init or ~/.config/pardes/init, and the macOS and Windows paths config.md gives). A pane that already holds it is gone to instead; a file on disk is looked at; with none, an empty pane is named for it, and Save makes its directory and any above it first (File.make_dirs, fs.makeDirs) before writing. Without a configuration directory it says so and opens nothing. The report Config used to open, the startup path and every live setting, is DumpConfig, in a +DumpConfig pane. No alias keeps the old meaning. The workspace tag's default words put Themes where NextColor was, NextColor staying a builtin, and Config beside it. A tag the user edited is kept as it was: a dump stores only an edited one (topbar_custom), and a restore puts back only that. theme.snap types NextColor onto the workspace tag to click it, and tagnav's walk back to Dump takes five long-word steps. The rest of the re-recorded goldens differ in the workspace words and their widths only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A pane's last row of text is no resize handle; the grip is, and the GUI's ruleGabriel Schneider33 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A press on a pane's last row began a seam drag, so the row could not be clicked or swept like the rest of the text (rsearch dragged the handle out of the way first). Now no row of text is a handle: in the GUI a press on the 2 px rule between two panes drags their seam, and anywhere the grip does, as acme's button moves a window -- dragged up or down its own column it moves the pane's top, either pane down to its tag alone (acme's coldragwin), dragged down inside itself too. The hover hint over a last row is gone; column edges resize as they did. Scripts that dragged a seam drag a grip instead and match their goldens; six goldens lost the hint or moved a cursor to the clicked text, re-recorded by name.

* Exit quits and Kill stops commands, as in acmeGabriel Schneider33 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kill quit the editor, which in acme is Exit; acme's Kill stops the commands it started. Exit now quits as acme's does (exec.c, rowclean): it refuses once, naming each pane with unsaved text, and quits when asked again with nothing edited since (a small scratch is not asked about). Kill, bare or with names, stops the commands pardes typed into a terminal (an exec, a middle click, a pty/run) while their shell's marks say they run, by SIGTERM to the terminal's foreground job, never to the shell (acme posts the kill note, which terminates). Both are session builtins; the topbar's Kill becomes Exit, same width, and every golden's topbar row changed by exactly that word (checked line by line); the builtins script scrolls one more row for the index's new line.

* Notices become chips that float over the body, not rows taken from itGabriel Schneider33 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A notice is an overlay now, which is the one place it is NOT like the tree-sitter context: it takes no row from the body and moves no text. Each one is a chip as wide as its own message plus a blank cell either side, anchored to the pane right edge on the body top rows. The rest of each of those rows is ordinary body text that still reads and still answers a click -- Notices.left records where each chip starts, and the hit test refuses only the cells it covers rather than the whole row. The width is counted in GRID columns rather than scaled into the tagline face the chip is drawn in, because the canonical grid is what a terminal client draws and a chip narrower than its own text there would clip it; the narrower tagline face simply leaves a little more room inside the chip. The tag layer takes the geometry the grid pass already chose, so the two cannot disagree and the GUI skipping the cells a tag layer covers leaves no stub behind. Pane.body_offset is gone with the reservation it existed for, and bodyTop takes only a rect. The body layer keeps every row it had, the scrollbar runs the full body again, and the GUI smooth-scroll extents go back to the pane. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* Notices become tagline bands at the top of the bodyGabriel Schneider33 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A message, a leader chord and a prompt used to share one row of body text at the bottom of a pane, wearing the tagline font and nothing else about a tagline. Now each one is a TagLayer of its own, emitted through the same renderHeaderLayer the pane and column tags go through, so it gets the tagline height, the small-font metrics, the band offset and the border for free -- none of which a body-grid row can have by changing its font role. The text is right aligned. The prompt stays on the canonical grid because it owns a cursor, and a cursor has to sit on a real cell. The body starts BELOW the bands rather than under them, the way tree-sitter context rows already worked. Pane.body_offset is how many rows they took and Pardes.bodyTop(pane, rect) is the one place that answers "where does the body begin" -- replacing fifteen copies of `if (tag_bottom) r.y else r.y + BOX_H` spread across the paint, hit-test, scroll, PDF and image paths, which is what let the bands and the text under them come adrift. Every notice is painted on the grid as well, because the grid is what a terminal client draws and a band it cannot see is a message it never gets; the GUI skips grid cells a tag layer covers, so nothing is drawn twice. Three bugs the bands exposed, fixed here: - a prompt band flush with the right edge put its caret one column past the pane, which the detached wire refuses -- so every frame was dropped for as long as the prompt was open. The band now reserves that column. - a click on a band mapped to Sel row 0, which is the TAG row: clicking chrome expanded a word out of the tagline and ran it as a builtin. - a watched file reloading under the editor changed the core without going through update, so needs_frame was never set and the reload was never drawn. Pardes.invalidate() is the name for that, and the file and theme reloads call it. A session can now drive its own 9P namespace instead of being refused one: ownMountSuffix answers what a path names inside this editors own tree and resolve, readLimit and write serve it from memory rather than making the syscall that never returns. The match is anchored to whole components under the registrys 9p/pardes/<name>, because a bare /pardes/<name> anywhere in a string would claim ~/src/pardes/<name>/README -- and, before write learned the same trick, write the trees bytes over the real file. readFileLimit and writeFile refuse instead, having no core to answer from. A toggle setting SETS when given `on` or `off` and only flips when it is bare, so the report LocationsConfig prints can be fed back as configuration and mean what it says. Snapshots: 97/98, from 0/98. The goldens were several commits stale and 17 scripts had stopped running; `config <line>` is a new script command that appends to the per-script startup config, so a script that clicks body coordinates pins `Verbose off` instead of counting the rows an announcement moves. nested-optout is left failing on purpose: two levels of nesting prepend vaxis F3 codepoints to typed lines, which is a real bug and is written down in docs/divergences.md with a repro.

* 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.

* 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.
* tutor: half the length, and the parts people actually ask aboutGabriel Schneider2026-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1297 lines to 498. The tutor had grown to the point where the things a newcomer needs first were buried in the middle of a helix reference, and two subsystems it never mentioned at all. REORDERED by what is most different from editors people arrive from, and each part now earns its place: 1 THE MOUSE acme's three buttons and the chords, trimmed 2 PANES NEW. Moving between them, in one place 3 THE TTY Ctrl-b, Shift-Esc, and what plain Esc does 4 DETACHED NEW. The core outliving the terminal showing it 5 THE KEYS the helix half, cut hard, practice blocks kept 6 THE REST PDFs, images, the language backend, scripting PANES was scattered across 3.12, part 2 and the summary; it is one section now, because "how do I get out of this pane" is the question that actually gets asked. Ctrl-w hjkl, Esc, Shift-Esc, Ctrl-o/Ctrl-i, Alt-n, Alt-c, and the three panes that have their own claim on Escape. THE TTY gains the rule the old text got wrong. It said Esc "goes to the program" in raw tty, full stop. It has not for a while: at a shell PROMPT plain Esc hops away like Shift-Esc, and only a program that has TAKEN the tty (vim, a pager) keeps it. That is `takesCommandLine` in pardes.zig, and it is the difference between the toggle feeling obvious and feeling arbitrary. DETACHED did not exist in the tutor at all. `--detach`, `--attach`, the Attach/Detach words and their chords, why the pane shells belong to the session and never stop, why N frontends share ONE screen at the smallest common grid, and that `--fs`/`--fs9` work in a daemon now. THE KEYS lost the most: thirteen subsections became six, roughly thirty practice blocks became six. What went is the enumeration a reference does better; what stayed is the handful of blocks that teach the one idea helix users do not arrive with -- motions SELECT, so `wd` is what `dw` was -- plus the count rule, which is the other thing that surprises. Part 6 documents `pty/`, `--fs9` and the `9p` word, none of which the tutor knew about. The first seven lines are byte-identical on purpose: test/snapshots/ tutor.golden pins them, and it regenerated unchanged. ALSO REGENERATED: test/snapshots/builtins.golden, which had been stale since the `9p` word was added a few changes ago -- one more builtin shifts every row of the `SPC ?` listing below it. Nothing was wrong with the code; the golden had simply not been updated with the feature. All 95 snapshot scripts pass.
* An edited row keeps its colours, four copies of forkShell become one, and ↵Gabriel Schneider2026-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Esc stops recentring ## A terminal row's ANSI colours survive being edited The loudest colour bug this editor had: one keystroke anywhere in a coloured shell row turned EVERY column of it grey. `EditAnchors` anchored a buffer line only when it was BYTE-IDENTICAL to the shell row it stood over, so a single differing byte dropped the whole row's colour projection. Worst shape is invisible: append past the pane's right edge, where the text is clipped, and the row looks the same and only its colour goes. Anchoring is byte-level now. An edit leaves the row's own bytes at both ends, and being the same bytes they keep the same colours; only what was typed has no cell under it, so only that takes none. Live, on real `fastfetch`: a 32-column blue run split into 6 + 26 around one typed character. Three defects underneath it, all found by machinery rather than by reading: * A JOIN removes a buffer line while the buffer's covered span grows, so `lines == covered` and both aligned guesses — Nth line over the Nth covered row, and the same counted from the bottom — resolved to the SAME wrong row. Every untouched row below a join went plain. Anchoring is now a streaming monotone matching: one shell-row cursor that only ever moves forward, advanced once per buffer line, linear in the buffer where the version before it was quadratic. * An EMPTY line is not evidence. Splitting a row makes one, it equals every blank row in the span, and left free to look ahead it claimed the blank row below the last output and took every coloured row in between out of reach of the lines that owned them. * Reflow under a scrolled viewport. `PageList.getTopLeft(.viewport)` returns the viewport pin verbatim, x and all, while `PageList.pin` forces x to 0 — so after a reflow remapped a tracked pin into the middle of a row, the text pass dumped row 0 from that column while the colour pass paired the fragment with the row's FIRST cells. Row 0 wore its left half's colours until the pane snapped back to live output. `bodyText` dumps from column zero now, which is also what ghostty's own renderer draws. Also here: DECSCNM (reverse video) was silently dropped whenever `tty_filter` was off, because the raw path resolved a `.none` colour by role and never consulted the mode. The test that found the first two is the one worth keeping: random editing against an ABSOLUTE oracle — every row's own text names the colour it must have — because the differential oracle it replaced was blind by construction. It skipped the edited row, which is the row the user is complaining about. ## Esc returns to a pane without moving its view Esc in body normal mode runs `Last`, "the pane you were in before this one", and that went through `focusPaneLine`, which recentred a file on the target line unconditionally. So returning to a buffer repainted the whole screen to show a line that was already on it. `focusPaneLine` takes a landing now: `.center` for the three callers going somewhere you have not been (a look target, a path a pane already holds, `@pN:LINE:COL`), `.keep` for Esc. `.keep` leaves the view alone and lets `ensureCursorVisible` — which already existed and already scrolls by the minimum into the `scroll_off` band — be the only thing that may move anything. Not `line = 0`, which `focusPaneLine` already understands as "focus and touch nothing": a background pane's view can move while you are away, because the wheel scrolls the pane under the POINTER and a resize reveals no cursor, so the recorded cursor plus a minimal nudge is what actually gets you back. Ctrl-o and Ctrl-i keep centring, and the asymmetry is structural rather than arbitrary: `Last` only ever CROSSES panes, so the pane it lands on already holds the view you left it with, while `jumpBy` can land in the SAME pane, where a long in-file jump would arrive on the very top or bottom row with `scroll_off` lines of context on one side. Helix splits the same pair the same way — its jumplist centres, its buffer switch does not. One deliberate consequence: under `.keep` a PDF's page is not restored AT ALL, because a page reveal IS that pane's view and a reveal of the page you are already on still snaps `document_scroll_y` to that page's start, discarding where you had read to. When something moved the pane while you were away — the wheel again — Esc leaves it where the wheel left it, and Ctrl-o is how you reach the recorded page. ## host_io.zig: the machine-local half of a host, once `host.zig` is the seam. The part of the answer that is identical on every host with an operating system under it — fork a pane's shell, put bytes on a disk — was written FOUR times: in tty.zig, gui.zig, macos.zig and detached/server.zig. What those copies had in common says what they were for: all four were missing FD_CLOEXEC on the pty master, so in every shell pardes has shipped, a program in one pane could read another pane's terminal. One copy now, and the wire got smaller for it: `ServerMsg.spawn` is gone. A frontend never asked the server to fork anything — the server has an operating system under it and forks through `host_io` like every other host — and `decodeClient` lost the scratch buffer that message needed.

* shaders: -Dprebuilt-shaders, so a gui build needs no Vulkan SDKGabriel Schneider2026-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | glslc is the one build input that wants a tool a stock machine does not have, and it is also the input that changes least often: eight GLSL files that have outlived several rewrites of everything around them. Asking every machine that wants to run the SDL shell for shaderc is the wrong trade. The SPIR-V is now COMMITTED, under shaders/prebuilt/, and -Dprebuilt-shaders embeds that copy instead of shelling out. The default stays the honest one -- compile the shaders that are actually in the tree -- because the flag trades a dependency for a freshness problem: with it on, the .glsl sources are not build inputs at all, so editing one changes nothing. `zig build shaders` is the other half, and it is deliberately independent of -Dplatform: it recompiles every shader and writes the result back into the tracked directory, so whoever changes a shader refreshes the cache on a machine that has the compiler and commits the diff. `jj diff shaders/prebuilt` after it is the freshness check -- empty means the cache was already current. The shader list is also spelled once now (gui_shaders): the eight embeds, the eight glslc runs and the refresh step all read it, so adding a shader is a name there plus the @embedFile in gui.zig, not three edits in two places. Verified: -Dplatform=gui -Dprebuilt-shaders builds with glslc absent from PATH, and image-harness passes on that binary -- real SDL GPU pipelines built from the committed SPIR-V, 512 source pixels read back. The default gui build still runs the eight glslc steps; tty runs none. The committed bytes are identical to a fresh glslc run, and `zig build shaders` is idempotent.
* clipboard, n/N and the tty prompt: three things that were half-wiredGabriel Schneider2026-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three changes that all turned out to be the same shape -- a feature that worked in one direction, or for one pane kind, and quietly did not in the others. CLIPBOARD. Every register write emitted set_clipboard, so deleting one character threw away whatever the desktop was holding; multi-cursor yank took the join's early return and emitted nothing at all, so the same key reached the clipboard on one cursor and not on two. Nothing could READ the clipboard: the SDL shell had no SDL_GetClipboardText anywhere in it, and the tty shell never asked for OSC 52, so `p` from another application was dead in both. Now it is helix's split. y/d/c/p/P/R and the acme chords are the DEFAULT REGISTER and nothing else; the system clipboard is five words on helix's own letters -- SPC y, SPC Y, SPC p, SPC P, SPC R -- spelled as builtins so they land in Help and are executable like every other verb. The one exception is the tag `y` chord, which still mirrors out because a tag is always insert, so SPC cannot be pressed there, and copying the path out is the whole point of the chord. Reading is a new read_clipboard effect answered by an ordinary Event.paste, so the round trip is honest about being one: SDL and NSPasteboard answer inside the same drain, the browser answers a promise, and a terminal answers over OSC 52 or -- far more often -- refuses. A refused read is a paste that does not happen, and the request dies at the next keystroke rather than landing minutes late in whatever pane is focused by then. The tty shell also enables BRACKETED PASTE now and coalesces paste_start..paste_end into one event. Before this a paste arrived as a flood of individual key presses: plausible in insert mode, and in normal mode every pasted character ran as a command. n/N. They stepped the armed results buffer and immediately Looked each row, so you could not walk past a hit without opening it. They are a MOTION now: select the next look-able text, open nothing, and let Enter decide. What they step is the largest whitespace-delimited run look.resolve can act on (look.lookableSpan, wrapper punctuation peeled), over a RING of panes -- every pane that has performed a look, most recent first, then the output buffers that have not, newest first, and only if both are empty the pane in front of you. N is the exact inverse of n, computed rather than remembered: both directions ask the same question about the same spans and compare against the column the walk parks on, so x presses one way and x back land exactly where you started, pane boundaries and the ring's seam included. A ring rather than a list with two ends because a shell's cursor sits at the prompt, below everything it has printed, so a walk that could not come round would have nowhere to go on the very first press -- which is the case n/N were written for. One motion everywhere, no pane-kind or buffer-kind special case. The only thing a buffer may change is the GRAIN of what a step selects, and it does it with one flag rather than a branch: output_pane.Traits.commands (renamed from `executes`, which named one reader's behaviour rather than the fact) makes a row select WHOLE, because a ThemeSel line is a word to run and has no path inside it to pick out. `]d`/`[d` are not n/N -- they are helix's diagnostic motions, their job is to ARRIVE, and they still reach searchStep. THE TTY PROMPT. Leaving raw tty blanked the prompt row, and the command you had typed at that prompt shares the row, so it went too -- a shell out of tty read as output only. OSC 133 marks the row CELL by cell, so the two are separable: config.tty_blank = .prompt cuts the prompt's own columns and leaves the command, left-hugged at column 0 in line with the output under it rather than in a bay of blanks. .prompt_and_input is the old behaviour, kept. Because the row is now something you can put a cursor in, enterTty adds the hidden prompt width back before asking ghostty to walk the shell's own cursor to it -- the modal column on a cut row is short by exactly that much. Verified: unit-test 186/186 (nine new), snap 87/87 (new ttyprompt.snap), hxdiff 481 and hxparity 561 with 0 mismatches, tty and gui both build. And against the real binaries rather than the harness: in a pty, SPC y emits OSC 52 carrying exactly the selection while plain y emits nothing, SPC p issues the read and pastes the reply, and a bracketed paste of "dd..." inserts text instead of deleting two lines. In a real SDL window, SPC y then SPC p round trips through the system clipboard while the default register holds different text. Setting tty_blank back to .prompt_and_input reproduces all 86 old goldens byte for byte.
* macos: pixel attachments, live theming, and a signed appGabriel Schneider2026-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AppKit shell now draws what the core renders, follows the theme without a relaunch, and builds into something you can hand to someone. - Pixel attachments. Surface.images was dropped on the floor here, so a PDF pane showed nothing at all: native_images is now set, pardes_image_s carries the geometry the core already clipped, and PardesView keeps one CGImage per (serial, page, revision) so scrolling costs a draw and not a decode. Image panes get real pixels instead of the petscii fallback. - Themes take hold live. pardes_tick never advanced the chrome animation, so every tagline kept the previous theme's colours until the next launch and the 16 ms re-pump spun for the rest of the session. pardes_theme_bg retires the hand-agreed #121212 and drives the window background and the titlebar appearance; a theme with no background of its own now gets a transparent window over an NSVisualEffectView. - The cell snaps to whole DEVICE pixels rather than whole points. Monaco advances 8.4014pt at 14, so ceiling to 9 spaced every column 7.1% wider than the face was drawn for. - The dial is one notch per 10 degrees instead of 20, and a release keeps turning in proportion to how hard it was thrown -- ramping up from zero at the floor, so a slow twist coasts not a little but not at all. - A file dropped on the grid is a click plus Look, so it opens beside the pane it was dropped on. No drop concept was added to the core. - The titlebar follows the focused pane: proxy icon, filename, and the dirty dot. File.saved_revision is the watermark that last one needed. - Config (SPC f c) prints the resolved startup config path. - build.zig assembles, signs and packages the bundle itself; build-app.sh is gone. -Dmacos-identity= takes a Developer ID, macos-dmg makes the image, and the icon is Glenda.

* Esc alternates between the last two panes; Toggleterm is goneGabriel Schneider2026-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Esc ran Toggleterm, which hopped between the newest DOC and the newest TERMINAL. That distinction never earned its keep. It made Esc unpredictable — which of three panes you landed on depended on their kinds, not on where you had been — and it could not alternate between two files at all, which is the case you hit most. Editing two files, Esc did nothing. The replacement already existed. Last (SPC j j) is "the pane you were in before this one, whichever it was": it walks the jump stack for the newest entry naming a different pane and restores its line and column. So Esc, and Shift-Esc in tty, now run Last, and Toggleterm is deleted rather than renamed — a third implementation of "go to the other pane" was the thing to avoid. SPC w t goes with it; the w group is the four directional moves, and the jump group already had SPC j j. Held down, Esc alternates. Two files, a file and its shell, a file and a +Search — all the same, because Last has no notion of kind to get wrong. This depends on the swap in the same series: Last reads the stack backwards, and until hopping stopped appending, the pane you came from could fall off it. windownav.snap needed only its keys and prose changed — its golden did not move at all, which is the useful evidence here: for the one scenario the old builtin handled well, Last produces an identical focus sequence. Coverage for what it did not handle is new: a unit test opens a second FILE by looking its name and asserts Esc alternates between two panes of the SAME kind, which is the case that used to be a no-op. Docs follow: tutor.txt, docs/helix-keys.md, docs/design.typ, and the builtin index goldens, which are now one row shorter. 75/75 snapshots, both unit suites, and the macOS ABI build all pass.

* the goldens catch up with the empty normal-mode boxGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | config.tag_normal became a space when the mode moved into the layout box, and 66 goldens still spelled the old bullet — the whole suite was red on one character. Regenerated serially, and every file's diff is that character and nothing else: replacing the bullets in the OLD goldens with spaces is byte-identical to the new ones, so nothing else moved under cover of the churn. The one bullet left in tutor.golden is the tutor's own sentence about the badge, which the app still draws.

* Help lists every builtin and every way to reach itGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
Not a second builtin: Help already rendered "every builtin with a leader path and the key that runs it", and the ask is "every builtin and every shortcut" — the same listing with three more rows and one more column. A new builtin would have been a second renderer over a superset of the same rows, and the two would drift the first time a column moved. The prefix filter is now the degenerate case of the index rather than a separate mode: SPC h ? reads the same array with prefix "h", and the path-less builtins fall out on their own because an empty path starts with nothing. The shortcut column is folded, never typed: chordName spells a chord from Key's OWN declarations, so a new special key names itself and an unnamed non-printable codepoint is a compile error instead of garbage; shortcuts() walks the cmd columns of window_keys and jump_keys, look_cmd/exec_cmd with their keys and buttons, and topbar_str. Retarget a binding in config.zig and this re-renders. So Look reads `enter, right-click`, Back reads `C-o`, Kill reads `topbar`, and Theme reads nothing at all — which is the information. Not a picker, deliberately: n/N stepping a list holding Kill, Del and Delcol would end the session. The names are live text, so middle-click the one you want. Alt-n, Alt-c, the tty toggle and the cut/paste chords cannot appear — they are inline handlers that reach no builtin, so there is no row to put them on. Make one a struct with a cmd column beside its binding and it appears for free. Three goldens moved, all of them the +Help buffer's contents.
