* Make a pane by opening /pane/new, and a Plan 9 idiom passGabriel Schneider28 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Tcreate that replaced acme's /new was a step away from the idiom dressed up as a step toward it. A pane is named by a server-assigned serial, so the create ignored the client's name: `mkdir /pane/foo` succeeded and left you /pane/12. A mkdir that does not make the directory you named is worse than the read-with-side-effect it replaced, and it broke in the shell workflow that motivated the change. `create` is out of the declared features, so Tcreate is EPERM again; Tremove stays, since `rm` to close a pane is unambiguously right. /pane/new is now opened, not created: the open makes the pane, the read of that fid answers its serial, two reads agree, and closing it leaves the pane. That is /net/tcp/clone's mechanism (kernel/network/ip/devip.c, in ipopen), not acme's, and the difference is deliberate. acme allocates during the walk and lands inside the new window, so /dev/new/body works in one step, and it can afford to list `new` because a Plan 9 directory read carries every entry's stat and nothing walks. A kernel or FUSE mount walks and stats each name a listing gave it, so allocate-on-walk would make a pane per `ls -l`. Allocating on open keeps `new` listed -- a stat is not an open -- at the cost of the one-step new/body. `new` stays unreachable from an editor path, because that resolution serves Look hover previews. The idiom pass behind it, read out of the Plan 9 tree at ~/05-genizah/principia-softwarica rather than recalled: Rerror carries a string, not an errno (man 5 error: `ename[s]`), and acme names every refusal. The five refusals pardes shares with acme now say what they mean; the generic sites keep their bare errno rather than invent strings acme does not have. body and tag declare DMAPPEND, which they had always behaved as (acme(4): "always appended; the file offset is ignored"), checked first against Linux's fs/9p, which never maps the bit. excl stays unset everywhere, because acme sets DMEXCL on nothing. Blocking reads, per-object addr scope and the readable pane ctl were already right. Real stat sizes and qid versions stay: acme reports length 0 and version 0 for everything, and Linux clients need better. One bug fell out of it. open reset the addr range, so `echo '#0,#5' >addr; cat addr` answered `0 0` and `cp addr dot` copied zeros. acme(4) makes the contract explicit -- "a regular expression may be evaluated by writing it to addr and reading it back" -- and acme gets away with resetting on the 0-to-1 open only because its clients hold the fid across both. A shell cannot: that is two opens. The register is cleared by truncating it now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* Plan 9 idiom for the control filesystem, and the regressions a624a56 leftGabriel Schneider28 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 9P tree stops being a command language wearing a filesystem. /new created a pane as a side effect of a *read*; it is now Tcreate in /pane, with Tremove to close, which cloud9's engine has always supported and the editor never declared: tree.zig now says `features = .{ .create = true, .remove = true }`. Eleven pane ctl verbs become files that can be read as well as written -- dot, limit, dirty, mark, scroll, look, exec -- leaving ctl with `get`, the one verb no file would say better. Root /ctl splits into a read-only /status and the /look and /exec files whose write IS the click. stat carries real sizes where it used to answer 0, and qid versions track a pane's revision, so a client can poll for change without re-reading the body. Commit a624a56 moved raw-tty keys to an early-return branch that knew only Ctrl-B and bare Escape, and in the same edit deleted the paste branch below it. That cost Shift-Escape (the unconditional way out of tty mode) and both paste chords: Ctrl-V and Ctrl-Shift-V reached the child as keystrokes, so an agent CLI running in a pane took Ctrl-V for its image-paste binding and answered "No image found in clipboard". Both are restored, with tests. Nested detection was not subtly broken but deleted: 60367d8 removed nested.zig's process-ancestry walk and left "am I inside pardes" derived from PARDES_FORWARD_LOOK, which read "0" both for --nested and for "the listener did not come up". PARDES_PID now answers that question on its own, checked with kill(pid, 0); PARDES_9P and PARDES_PANE answer how to reach it; the flag is gone. The posted-9P registry also self-heals now -- a session that aborts cannot unlink its own socket, so posting sweeps entries whose target refuses a connection, symlinks only and on a definite ECONNREFUSED only. Elsewhere: tty scrolling is sticky-bottom, following new output only from the last row, with typing and entering raw mode snapping back to live; the boot layouts are a Boot enum instead of a chain of ifs, and the bare tty startup (Boot.tty, which main.zig names) opens an empty text pane under the shell while tests keep Boot.tty_shell; builtins announce themselves on the message row under a Verbose setting that is on by default; Config prints each setting the way you would type it back, so WindowOpacity 70 rather than "WindowOpacity: 70%"; LocationsConfig opens its window only when called bare; every tagline puts the word that closes the thing last, and a column now outlives its panes -- closing the last one leaves an empty pane, and only Delcol, newly on the column tagline, takes the column away.

* Flatten the 9P control tree and move it out of fs.zigGabriel Schneider28 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The served tree loses the self/ level: /index /ctl /new /log /screen /listeners /pane/<n>/... /os, with /src only in -Dembed-sources=true builds (default off, on for esp32p4). ctl speaks the editor's own language with two lowercase verbs, look TEXT and exec TEXT, plus acme's addr verbs; the new/ factory directory becomes one clone file; cons is gone (exec Msg); name and sel are files; stats report real lengths, modes and mtimes; /log streams pane new/del/rename/save events. The tree code lives in src/ninep/ (tree, pane, ctl, addr, pty, events, screen, sources); fs.zig keeps host access, mounts, resolution and find/grep. Same engine and transports. README (fs-help.txt) and docs rewritten; tests updated and extended. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
