* projects: switch between a project's binaries in the TUI (phase 1c)blasty2026-07-251-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wires the project model + worker pool into the app. Project mode is ADDITIVE — without --project the app is exactly the single-binary tool it was, which is what keeps the 167-check pilot meaningful. * IdaTui(project=...) builds a WorkerPool and opens the project's first binary; _open_worker_client asks the pool instead of spawning directly. * BinaryState snapshots what a switch leaves behind (program, func_index, nav, cur, view prefs, filter). Switching reuses the _after_reconnect shape: swap client+program, rebuild the index, reopen the entry. A still-resident binary restores instantly (Program + index are in memory); an evicted one gets a fresh worker but keeps its nav history, which is just addresses. * ProjectPalette (Ctrl+O, + a "Switch binary…" palette command): the project's binaries with resident/analysed/pinned/active state and memory, filterable. * launch.py --project FILE, creating the project when binaries are also given; stages everything up front so the source tree is never written to. Two bugs found while testing: * _did_auto_land is app-wide, but landing is per-binary: after the first binary landed, a cold switch never landed at all AND left the switch overlay up forever. Reset it per switch. * PRE-EXISTING: the status Static had Textual markup enabled, so a single-word bracket marker parses as a style tag and is silently eaten — [listing] and [pseudocode] have never actually rendered (only [split · listing] survived, because the · makes it an invalid tag). Status is plain text with brackets and symbol names, so markup=False. tests/test_project_ui.py: end-to-end pilot on two real binaries (18 checks) — boot, switcher contents, switch, per-binary index, both workers resident, switch back with state intact, return-to-where-you-were, and the promise that the source tree stays pristine while every artifact lands in the sidecar. Full single-binary suite unchanged at 167/2 (the standing flakes).
* projects: project model + binary staging (phase 1a)blasty2026-07-251-0/+143
First slice of multi-binary projects (docs/PROJECTS.md): the on-disk model, with no runtime wiring yet. idatui/project.py (stdlib-only, like domain/worker): * Project.load/create/save — an explicit JSON project file listing binaries; paths resolve relative to it, labels default to the basename and are disambiguated on collision (they name files). * A sidecar dir beside the project file (<stem>.idatui.d/) holds bin/ (staged binaries), their .i64 + scratch, and idx/ for phase 2. IDA opens the STAGED file, so nothing lands in the source tree — today targets/ carries ~244MB of IDA litter around ~13MB of binaries, much of it stale wedge files. * stage() copies rather than hardlinks. A hardlink is free but makes source and staged one inode, so an in-place rebuild (cp over the path truncates instead of replacing) would silently swap the bytes under an analysed DB with nothing to detect it. The unit test caught exactly that. A copy also leaves the sidecar self-contained once the sources are gone. * Re-staging a changed source drops its now-stale DB; sweep_scratch() clears the unpacked working files a hard-killed worker leaves behind (never the .i64). tests/test_project.py: 27 checks, pure stdlib (no IDA/textual/worker), <1s. docs/PROJECTS.md: the full design — the one-worker-per-DB constraint with measured costs (bash worker = 126MB RSS/117MB PSS; libcrypto's DB is 72MB, so residency is budgeted by MEMORY, not a worker count), the switch between "switching needs a live worker" and "searching doesn't (cached index)", and phases 1-4.
