tui for headless ida https://git.sl0p.foo/ida-tui.git/atom/docs/CODEMODE_PORT.md?h=main 2026-08-07T13:29:49Z 2026-08-07T13:29:49Z blasty blasty@local 2026-08-07T13:29:37Z urn:sha1:8fef561903e9501281ebcc58cdb33ee4d9116fd0 README: "Known sharp edges" removed. docs/GRAPH_VIEW.md pointed the graph's one backend call at server/patch_server.py, a file the port deleted. It is idatui/codemode_client.py now. This matters because GRAPH_VIEW.md is one of only two docs the README links -- a wrong path in a linked doc is worse than no doc. docs/RPC.md was missing five verbs rpc.py serves: ping/methods/quit (now a Session table) and trace/binaries/switch (with the semantic verbs). The trace verb drives a whole feature the README advertises, so its absence was the real gap. Every verb in rpc.py's METHODS table is now documented, checked mechanically -- the remainder of what looked missing turned out to be values of the "move" verb's dir parameter, not verbs. Deleted: - docs/CODEMODE_PORT.md. Written mid-port, and its Result section claims the port covered "the complete current TUI feature set". It did not: the graph view was dead, the operand-format keys were dead, pseudocode comments never appeared, and bulk rename was broken. Keeping a doc that states the opposite of what we found is worse than having none, and docs/CODEMODE_UPSTREAM.md carries the accurate account of the API limits. - docs/TUI_DRIVING_BLUEPRINT.md. A design sketch for generalizing the drive-a-TUI-over-a-socket pattern to other programs, with gdb as the main example -- which now exists for real in ~/dev/gdb-driver. Superseded by the thing it proposed. Nothing linked either file. Both remain in git history. 2026-08-07T10:40:14Z blasty blasty@local 2026-08-07T10:39:54Z urn:sha1:c9208de05d8583b677117fe43c9d3567e89eb2ce Mechanical part of the port: the 27-file patch was cut against a base ~148 commits behind us, so it did not apply. Resolved 11 conflicts (all of them diff drift, not semantic clashes) and the three file deletions: - app.py: the patch re-inserted _do_rename/_do_name_addr/_seek_split etc. as "theirs" because our tree moved them to edit_ctl.py/trace_ctl.py. Kept ours and applied the real intent (WorkerClient->CodeModeClient, .call->.invoke, _open_worker_client->_open_database_client) at their current homes. - domain.py: kept Head as a NamedTuple -- the patch reverted it to a frozen dataclass, which the perf work measured at 2.9us vs 1.9us per row on a quarter-million-row walk. Dropped _fetch_output (no download_url under Code Mode) and its now-dead urllib/json imports. - pane.py: the patch's deletion swallowed our zellij support along with the worker-reaping block it meant to remove. Kept zellij, removed the reaping. - test_scenarios.py: the idb_save->save_database teardown hunk belongs to tests/_fixtures.py in our tree; applied it there and kept our pc_num_format scenario that the drift landed on. Three defects in the patch itself, fixed here: - It made "import idatui" hard-require ida_codemode, so every offline suite died at import -- including the pure ones (graph/index/trace) that are the house rule for "tests/run.py --fast". The import is now deferred and gated on the binding, which is also what lets the port's own contract tests inject a fake DatabaseHandle. - project.stage() inlined an ida_codemode.registry import and treated "library not installed" as "someone owns this database", which broke IDA-free project staging. Ownership lookup moved to codemode_client.database_owner(). - tests/test_codemode_client.py had no NEEDS_IDA marker, which tests/run.py rejects outright. Offline suite: 301 passed, 0 failed. Against master's 344 the whole delta is accounted for: -40 worker_client (module deleted), -18 launch sweep checks (behaviour deliberately removed) +3 guarding that it stays removed, +2 pool (GUI-save semantics), +13 new codemode_client contract tests. NOT yet done, and the port is not functional without it: the adapter is missing five operations our tree grew since the patch's base (flowchart, op_format, pc_nums, pc_num_format, survey_binary) and its "heads" predates back-walking and digest/expect.
