| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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]>
* acme tints a tag's file name, +Name and Tty word quietly, in its own ↵Gabriel Schneider2 days
| | | | | | | | | | DMedblue #000099 acme tints nothing in a tag, but the tint is a pardes indicator the user wants in every theme. #000099 is acme's own (draw.h DMedblue, its dirty button): a navy that reads as ink until you look for it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A theme that names no tint for its tags' names takes one of its own hues, so ↵Gabriel Schneider2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | every theme draws a file's name, a +Name and the Tty word off the tag's ink The faithful ports (neobones_dark, dracula, tokyonight, the *bones, ...), every helix import and any theme file set no tag_name_fg, and ChromeTheme fell back to the plain ink: their tags lost the accent the pardes themes have. The user's neobones_dark looked tinted before only because the Sep 24 build had no such theme and fell back to orchard. The tint is now derived when unset: the theme's keyword colour, else the first of its ANSI accents, syntax, grip, selection or diagnostic colours with a hue, placed at the lightness nearest the ink where the hue holds, at least 4.5:1 on its ground (half a point under the ink's own where the ink has less to spare) and 0.07 off the ink in OKLab. Each ground, plain and focused, gets its own. A theme that names its tint keeps it exactly. Tests: every theme's chrome keeps both tints off the ink and legible; every theme draws a file's basename, +Errors and Tty+sh in a tint, focused or not.

* G5: lapis, 0x4200.cafe's manuscript, as a theme with its ornamentGabriel Schneider2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A native theme `lapis` (src/themes/lapis.zig) from web/theme/lapis.css: a lapis-deep page, lapis tags with gold names, vellum text, vermilion rubrics, gold rules and a vermilion tag rule, gold selection in lapis ink. Its ornament is the theme's new `decor` (colors.Decor), drawn by a pixel shell inside the chrome it already has (decision 1), all of it off every focus indicator: - page_dots: the site's gold dot grid (#e8c46a22, 22 px), drawn by the cell shader on page-coloured cells alone (flag 0x10000000), so it lies under the text and never under a selection, a tag or the cursor; fixed to the window, a page the panes lie on. - rail_checker: the dither frame's gold and lapis checker in the scroll track (a decor kind, flag 0x08000000), anchored to its rail; the thumb stays solid gold. - tag plaques (tag_border, tag_shadow, tag_stripe): every tag a raised plaque inside its own band, the site's trail: a 2px gold frame and a hard 5px vermilion shadow down and right, both within the band's rows and columns (down, what the slack under the text leaves), so no shadow reaches a body, a grip or the next pane. The focused pane's plaque is the code window's title bar, gold and lapis stripes of 2px, its words on plates of the focused ground; unfocused ones are plain; column and workspace tags take the object-label language (1px frame, 2px shadow toward the page). Drawn as decor under the cells (a group's under range), with blank tag cells see-through and the cells blended premultiplied (pipeline_over) on such frames; opaque windows only. - title_shadow: the titles' vermilion offset shadow under a file name's letters, sampled in the cell shader inside the letters' own cells (flag 0x08000000), none on a cursor. Chrome carries the decor (decor_*, name_ink, active_name_ink); a theme file folds a nested decor literal field by field. Left out, with why, in docs/effects.md: the fonts, the ornaments, a decor crossfade, and in the tty anything but the colours (a tag row has no spare cell for a shadow). An empty column is the page. The effect id is masked to 27 bits (ui.vert/ui.frag) for the fifth flag. Tests: the cell flags land only on page ground and file-name cells, never a cursor, nothing without decor; lapis's plaques stay inside their tag's band, clear of every grip, only the focused one striped; its checker is in the track; no other theme draws any; the separator and focus tests cover lapis. Goldens: theme and themesel (the ring gains lapis after acme). Gates as G4.

* Rules and chrome scale with the display's density; dark pages get visible ↵Gabriel Schneider2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | separators and focus tints Density: dp() in gui.zig draws every size given in pixels in logical pixels (SDL's window display scale, rounded, at least one), as acme scales Border, ButtonBorder and Scrollgap: the rules (rule_px), the tag rule, the grip's ring, its dirty gap and mode bars, the rail's gap to the text and its minimum, the thumb's inset, the rim, a bar cursor's minimum width, underline and strikethrough thickness (the atlas is dropped on a scale change), the rule-grab margin, and the Crt's scanline and mask periods (pardesScale in the post prefix). Cell- and tagline-measured sizes stay: the rail's width, Lift's blur and offsets, every motion; iResolution, fragCoord and iMouse stay in the display's pixels, as ghostty's. PARDES_TEST_SCALE forces a density in a harness (a test window is 1x otherwise, whatever display it lands on) and sizes the test font with it. Colours: a separator that stands off its page by less than 1.5:1 is lifted toward the text to 1.6:1 (helix, atelier, paper; a theme with no page, dark, is judged against #121212), and empty_col follows it. forge's own rule already stands at 3.83:1; what hid it was density: 2 device pixels on a 3x screen, now 6 (dp). A focused tag's tint closer than 1.5:1 to the plain tag on a dark page (1.25:1 on a light one) is pushed further the way it leans, as far as its text keeps its own contrast or 4.5: forge 1.23 -> 1.51 (#2d3440 -> #374253), and likewise dusk, orchard, ink, lagoon, clay, harvest, spectrum, solarium, forge_soft; daybreak, atelier, paper to 1.25. dark and helix gain a tint of their own (dark: #484566 under #c8c8c8, 1.54:1; helix: ramp 237 under 250, 1.65:1). Tag caret: past a full row's end, the G3 glide box sits on the tag's right edge, where the layer's caret and the pixel shell's are. Tests: every native theme's separator >= 1.5 and every dark one has a tint >= 1.25 with readable text; forge keeps its own border; the tag caret glide box at a full row; at 2x the spine, tag rule, ring, rail start and gap, and bar cursor double. Legacy-ThemeFile test strips helix's new pair. Goldens: snapshot goldens change in colour rows only, the tints (orchard #283a2f -> #314738 at boot, forge, helix and dark in theme/themesel). GUI goldens: the harness's single Del of the renamed wide pane is refused since ysqnkyoy (a rename counted as unsaved; fixed on the 9P line in wkzlsqvy), so scenes 09-17 were recorded with that pane open and the file was stale since the merge (08 and 18 also moved with ykvnltvs's full-row tag wrap). The goldens here were recorded with that pane closed (as wkzlsqvy will close it); against the parent's binary under the same conditions they differ only in the tints: 01-13 forge's (#2d3440 -> #374253, and the glyph edges on it), 14 ink's; 15-18 are byte-identical. Until wkzlsqvy is merged, a run here fails 09-17. Each commit reproduces its own recorded goldens on this machine (checked at kvtmqkyn). A test window is 1x unless PARDES_TEST_SCALE says otherwise, whatever display it opens on. Prebuilt shaders refreshed from their sources.

| | * acme looks like acme; every theme gets acme's button, scroll column and 2px ↵Gabriel Schneider2 days
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rules acme takes plan9port's own colours (acme.c iconinit, draw.h): selections #eeee9e in the body and #9eeeee in the tag, black ink; exec and look sweeps #aa0000 and #006600, white ink; a #99994c scrollbar under a #ffffea thumb; black rules; a #8888cc tag/body rule and column button. Every theme: the grip is acme's button, its tag row's full height, in one scroll column with the scrollbar (rail_px, 12 at a 17px tagline, scaled, times GripWidth, a percent, default 150; same x0/x1 to the pixel): focused clean = solid box; focused dirty = box_dirty filled to a box ring (acme's modbutton); unfocused clean = a box_border ring round the tag's ground; unfocused dirty = box_dirty a pixel inside that ring. The grid, which has no ring, marks dirty with a bold * on box_dirty in the grip's second cell and fills an unfocused grip halfway to its ring. Regions carry a dirty flag. Column buttons are the same shape, solid. 2px rules between columns and stacked panes (inside the tag band's slack), none at the window edge; a 1px tag/body rule halfway between tag and page. Theme data: tag_sel_bg, sweep_bg/fg, tag_rule, rule_px, rail_px, box_border, box_dirty. Chrome: rule_px, tag_rule, rail_px, grip_border, grip_focus_ring; a comptime guard on Chrome's layout forces a wire bump once v8 ships. Structural rules are exempt from the focus-indicator rule (docs/effects.md). Tests: acme widths; stacked rule in the slack at two tagline sizes; every grip-column pixel is band, button, ring or rule, and the button shares the scrollbar's x0/x1 (4 metrics x top/bottom x focus x dirty); the four grip states distinct in every native theme with a non-colour dirty cue in the grid; wire round-trip of the new fields. Shared files: src/colors.zig, src/surface.zig, src/body_layer.zig, src/tagline.zig, src/detached/wire.zig, docs/themes.md, docs/config.md, docs/effects.md, 21 snapshot goldens (the grip cells only), test/gui-goldens.txt.

* Step core animation by the shell's clock and sleep to the next wakeGabriel Schneider2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A shell now answers Host.now, its monotonic clock in ns, and the pump advances core animation to it: one .tick per whole 16 ms frame since core time last stood still. The same animation therefore takes the same time at 60, 120 and 144 Hz, over ssh and after a slow frame (the GUI's re-armed clock ran them ~25% slow at 144 Hz; the tty's post-frame sleep drifted). nextWake() lists every core animation in one place: a frame from now while anything moves, the end of the wait while something only waits (a message lingering, the look-hover delay), null when idle. Shells sleep exactly that long, and a wait is jumped to its end in one step, so an 800 ms linger costs one frame instead of fifty. An overshoot under 1.5 ms after a step is let go: at 60 and 120 Hz every display frame takes exactly one step (a 16 ms frame against a 16.67 ms vsync would otherwise double-step every 24th). The six tick drivers are gone: tty's timer thread only times the wait, interruptibly (a newer, shorter request cuts short a sleep still timing a longer one); the GUI's AnimationClock, web's JS tick bank (pardes_tick now takes rAF's timestamp), the detached server's and the board's ticks; grid mode steps a virtual clock straight to each wake. PARDES_TEST_CLOCK, set by the snapshot harness, gives tty and the detached server the same virtual clock. Every stepped frame is drawn. The old pump never drew the last frame of a fade (a .tick asks for no frame, and the fade was over by the check), so a theme switch stopped at 9/10 of the way until the next input: theme.golden, themesel.golden and the GUI's acme-light scene move to the theme's true colours, and nothing else changes. The frozen previous grid is captured only while a panel transition is chosen, not on every idle frame.
* Exit quits and Kill stops commands, as in acmeGabriel Schneider2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Schneider2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Schneider2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* 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.
* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | 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.

No exclusions. inherits is what this cost. 76 themes need it, so the reader is two passes now, and the merge is WHOLE-KEY rather than field-wise because helix merges the theme body at depth 1 — the three *_transparent themes clear their parent's background with an empty table, and a field-wise merge would leave it painted. I had that wrong until I read helix-view/src/theme.rs. At 214 files the generator meets themes that are SPARSE rather than broken, and the old fatal-on-anything-missing would have rejected them. Every fallback is helix's own rule: no background at all means wear the terminal's, so bg and fg go null (13 themes, correctly); the twelve RGB fields that cannot be null fall back to ghostty's default palette entries 7 and 0, which is exactly what a pardes terminal already paints an unstyled ANSI index as. fatal is kept for what genuinely cannot be read. Three real bugs surfaced only at scale: #ccc shorthand doubles the nibble (helix's rule, 58 colours), a quoted inline-table key silently dropped a selection colour, and four themes name a cursor background EQUAL to the page because they are about to reverse that cell — taking it painted an invisible move box. 0 degenerate themes out of 225 now: no fg==bg, no syntax colour on its own background, no invisible box. Collisions get an unconditional rule rather than a clever one: a zed variant is always <name>_zed, because both projects ship gruvbox, ayu and one, and a conditional tag would move a name when the other source changes. A comptime assert holds it. Cost: no-op build 0.257 -> 0.276s, a pardes.zig change 46.8 -> 47.5s, binary +0.98%. The generator does 217 sources in 54ms. NextColor stays and is no longer a way to REACH a theme — but the browse got better, not worse: the generated half sorts by name, so its neighbours are that theme's own family. theme.golden's fourth click moved from ayu_dark to acid, which sorting 225 names does; themesel gained a tail capture proving row 228 renders.
* themes: one file each, generated from helix and zed, picked by stepping a listGabriel Schneider2026-08-01
Each theme is a .zig file of pure data and nothing enumerates them by hand — fold() walks the container's declarations, so a theme is a file and that is the whole registration. Field by field rather than a wholesale coercion, which makes a missing field a compile error that names it. tools/gen_themes.zig reads helix .toml and zed .json out of vendor/themes and emits one .zig each; build.zig reads that directory, so adding a theme is dropping a file in. Output goes to the build cache rather than the tree, so zig owns the freshness check and a deleted source cannot leave a stale theme behind. Vendored, not read from the genizah: the build stays offline. A source it cannot map is a hard error naming the file and the key, never a silently black-on-black theme. ThemeSel is the clever half. Traits gained an `executes` column, so n/N over that buffer hands the whole line to Exec instead of the leading word to Look — both arms the ordinary builtin, so a stepped row does exactly what the matching mouse button on it would. Stepping the list previews each theme live. The trait is a pane property, not an output-pane branch, so any pane whose lines are commands can opt in. Goldens: leader gains SPC t t; theme's fourth NextColor no longer wraps to helix because the ring is fifteen long. New: themesel.
