an opinionated terminal multiplexer in C with programmable pane chrome https://git.sl0p.foo/slosh.git/atom/include/project.h?h=master 2026-08-19T13:25:28Z 2026-08-19T13:25:28Z user user@clank 2026-08-19T13:25:28Z urn:sha1:49ac13f70aa3a9224e90699fe68d8463909239db The old name argued that the extension should say how to read the file. The argument lost to a collision: zellij speaks the same KDL syntax under that same extension with a different schema, and to anyone arriving from there .kdl said *whose* file it is -- naming the wrong owner is worse than not naming the parser. So a layout is x.layout, a project's is slosh.layout, the name says what the file is and --check says how it was read. (It is still KDL underneath; point your editor's highlighting at *.layout.) Nobody's checked-in workspace vanishes on upgrade: the project scan still finds slosh.layout.kdl, never writes it, and where both spellings exist the new one wins, because two files disagreeing needs one answer. The unparseable-file heuristic in --check learned the new suffix -- it matched '.layout.' with a trailing dot, which the new name no longer has. The webdemo overlay moves with it (demo.layout), rebuilt and boot-checked. 2026-08-19T11:46:57Z user user@clank 2026-08-19T11:46:57Z urn:sha1:42b3c10995eb67778d9dd3aa2fd80624896acd5f The out-of-the-box look, rethought as one piece: - the compiled-in palette calms down: muted blue #7aa2f7 on the same neutral darks, with the colours that mean something kept semantic -- amber bell, red-orange dead. sl0p stays one include away as the house style, and contrib/themes/default.kdl is the starting point written down (theme-tour shows it). - derived state defaults now actually follow the theme: the scrolled wash is rebuilt from scroll_bg after the theme block (it used to bake the compiled accent), and declaring a state -- in any file of an include chain -- still wins. The dump writes derived states as comments so C-a e cannot pin what is meant to keep following. - a bell you can see: the frame blinks three times in theme's bell colour then breathes until answered, and a soft diagonal shimmer -- the bell colour halved towards default_fg, width breathing on a sine -- crosses the body for the same 900ms. bell_indicator false silences all of it; states { bell { } } replaces it like any state. since carries the clock dependency, so an idle session pays nothing. - scrollback says where it continues: while scrolled, the viewport's top and bottom rows melt towards an edge with content past it and turn solid at the buffer's end. New expression variables above/below (lines hidden past each edge, own dependency bit, cached per scroll position), carried in shade_ctx_t -- SLOSH_SHADER_ABI 3 -> 4. - expressions survive the dump: a program keeps its source and cb_chain writes it back, so amount="(y % 2) * 40" no longer dumps as a number. - headers move to include/, -Iinclude everywhere; the plugin Makefile's SLOSH var becomes SLOSH_DIR because slosh exports SLOSH=1 into every pane it runs, and building from inside a session read that as a path. - comment drift culled where features outran the prose, and the derivation boilerplate folded into derived_pass()/ctx_scroll().
