* graphics: a frame the client never got must be said againuser2026-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A pane image is re-emitted to the client as decoded RGBA, which for one screenshot is ~4MB of base64 in a single indivisible message -- and conn_send silently dropped anything that would overflow the 4MB outbox, while push_graphics ignored the refusal and the model advanced anyway. Everything stateful in that dropped frame was lost for good: the image was marked sent (so its placements drew nothing, forever), and the deletions rode out with it (so a placement the client had was never revoked). Reported as screenshots in a recovered pi transcript parked at a fixed spot on the screen, immune to scrolling and pane swaps -- those were placements whose deletion left with a dropped frame. The 1000x800 one could never be delivered at all: its transmission alone was bigger than the cap. So the frame is now transactional. Deletions queue and are repeated every flush until gfx_commit() confirms the client heard them; transmissions recorded in a frame are unwound by an undelivered commit so they are sent again. A flush nobody commits counts as undelivered at the next gfx_begin(), which is what the `graphics` control command is: bytes rendered for a CLI, not the client. The server reports the verdict and keeps the paint pending until it lands. The outbox cap now bounds the backlog rather than backlog-plus-message, so one big transmission on a drained queue always fits -- and that surfaced a second way to lose: a queued image legitimately holds the backlog over the cap until the client swallows it, and push_frame read that as a dead client and closed the connection. The session auto-detached every time a screenshot crossed the wire. A full outbox is a client that is *behind*, not gone: push_frame now marks the screen for a full repaint (the dropped diff means the client's cells are unknown) and retries as POLLOUT drains the queue; a client that truly left still shows up as a write error there. The headless suite pins the owed-until-committed contract; the new tests/live_graphics.py drives the real socket with a bigger-than-the-cap image and a reader that stalls, and would have caught both bugs: the flood must not detach, the transmission must arrive whole, and a placement scrolled away must be deleted -- then come back on scroll without a second copy of the pixels.
* compact: shared borders instead of gaps (D23)user2026-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One knob, `compact true`: panes pack flush against 1-cell divider lines that meet in real junctions, one frame rings the tab, and a pane's title rides the line above it -- a boundary costs one cell where the default look spends four. The lines are strokes: each write says which edges of its cell it needs, unions with what is there, and never clobbers text, so ├ ┬ ┼ fall out of paint order and the focus ring recolours without inventing arms. The divider *is* the gap (eff_gap, one answer for the layout, split_fits and the resize clamp), so gap hits, hover hints and corner drags work unchanged. Interior edges give up click-to-split -- one cell cannot hold two verbs -- and a pane's status row overlays its last content row. Floats, zoom and the D6 flatten keep classic frames through place_hidden: zero new tree cases. Underneath it, mode or no mode: a border drag now moves the boundary on that side, converted on the first motion so the press that never moves keeps its old meaning -- the handle's click still splits, the rim's is still deliberately nothing (drag.rim). Which is also the fix for gap 0, where flush panes leave no gap cell to grab and the resize gesture had silently vanished with it.
* slosh: paint the padding ring, so a float cannot be seen throughuser2026-08-22
| | | | | | | | A tiled pane sits on a cleared screen, so unpainted padding looked fine by accident; a float sits on whatever was composited under it, and every unpainted cell let that show through. draw_frame now fills the ring between border and contents with exactly what screen_clear leaves, and a suspended pane's never-composed content rect gets the same treatment.
* slosh: M10c, the memory -- floats survive being written downuser2026-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A dumped session quietly re-tiled its floats, which was the one data-loss gap left in D22. dump-layout now records `floating=true x= y= w= h=` -- the *wanted* rect, because intent is what survives a session and the next screen's layout clamps it like any frame -- layout files declare the same (linted: floating is a bool, x/y/w/h mean nothing without it), and a file whose every pane floats self-heals through ensure_tiled: the top float lands, the same rule closing the last tiled pane follows, no lint required. save-workspace inherits all of it from the shared dumper. `float` over the API takes x/y/w/h and then *places* rather than toggles -- a placement is a statement about where, not about whether -- floating the pane first when it is tiled, re-placing when it already floats, with omitted fields meaning "keep". The intent is stored exactly as asked: the write-back rule is for hands, whose drags need the clamp to agree with the eye; a script means what it typed. And kitty graphics respect the stack. The cell compositor gets occlusion free from paint order, but placements are sent after the diff and would paint an image straight over a float covering it. Each pane's placements are now clipped by the float rects above it -- every float for a tiled pane, the higher-raised for a float -- cropping what one clean edge can express (the pane-edge source-rectangle arithmetic aimed at another clipper, including from the top and left, where the source origin moves and the sub-cell offset is consumed) and suppressing what it cannot: a strip across the middle or a corner overlap leaves a shape one placement cannot say, and the image returns whole when the float moves. No z= needed -- clipping is the z-order, since nothing is ever allowed to overlap. D22's "still owed" paragraph is paid and rewritten; M10 is fully checked.
* slosh: floating panes and the drop grammaruser2026-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A pane can float: lifted out of the layout, drawn over the tiled panes and under the modals, freely moved and shaped. The model is a flag and a rect on the leaf, exactly like `minimized` -- the seat in the tree is kept, layout skips it, the siblings absorb its share, and un-floating returns it home. The drawn rect is the wanted one clamped to the tab every frame, never written back, so a terminal squeeze round-trips exactly; an explicit move or resize *does* write back, because the hand is the author of the intent. Floating pops the pane to the centre: the jump is what says it happened. Painted after everything tiled, so the hit list -- searched backwards -- resolves an overlap to the float you can see: the z-order and the click order are the same list. It casts a shadow (float_shadow, one number), and `floating` joins the states table above `unfocused`, so a float is never dimmed as merely-unfocused. The hands: the title moves it, any other border resizes it (a bottom corner on both axes; the grabbed edge pins at walls and floors, never sliding the window), H J K L move a focused float, the =/+ key grows it about its centre, `-` shrinks it (its split was a refusal anyway), and hovering shows which edges a grab would take, from the same derivation the press uses. Equalize moved to `0` to free the key; `C-a f` floats (finder went to `s`, where it reads as search); `C-a F` opens a new floating shell -- the throwaway terminal; the function row f1..f12 became nameable in configs along the way. Guards throughout: the last tiled pane cannot float or minimize away, closing it lands the top float, splits are refused with their own words, floats are not swap targets. Dropping got a grammar: while a pane is carried, the pane under the pointer subdivides into a swap centre and four edge bands meaning "insert me beside this pane, on this side" -- detach_leaf + place_beside, the surgery cross-tab moves already had. Bands are thirds (the first map of quarters showed the swap owning half of each axis), the hovered band fills the half the drop would hand over, the release resolves against the painted frame's hits so it cannot disagree with the fill, and a drop between siblings along the axis is a reorder that always fits -- refusing it was refusing the most ordinary drag there is. Also: rename-pane/rename-tab as palette actions (renaming was a double-click and nothing else, the one verb the palette could not reach), and C-u clears the rename editor like it clears the picker's query.

* slosh: the logo flies into place -- a particle engine, statelesslyuser2026-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every non-space glyph of the logo is a particle that flies to its cell over the first two fifths of splash_ms, then *is* the logo for the rest. There is deliberately no particle state anywhere: a position is a pure function of (target, elapsed, seed), recomputed every frame like the layout and the pane states and for the same reason -- physics that is stored can drift, physics that is derived cannot. The seed is the splash timestamp, so every attach flies differently and one splash is coherent frame to frame; a per-particle hash staggers departures, and the delay rescaling lands every straggler exactly at the end, because an almost-assembled logo reads as a bug. Five motions, picked by the clock and pinned by {"cmd":"splash", "motion":N}: rain (fall in, column by column), scatter (converge from everywhere), slide (rows enter from alternating sides), vortex (spiral in around the centre, orbit shrinking and unwinding), shuffle (the glyphs trade places, then sort themselves). The colour chains keep playing over the box throughout, so particles catch their hue as they cross into it. expr_sin() is the expression language's own sine exported for C-side animation: a motion sketched in the repl and one compiled into the binary cannot disagree about what sin(90) is. The tests learned two things the flights taught: the logo's opening run appears three times per line and assembly is staggered, so a middle occurrence can land first -- "assembled" is the row whose first block glyph is where the match begins -- and windows need margins that survive a parallel suite on a busy box.
* slosh: the splash colours glyphs, never backgroundsuser2026-08-19
| | | | | | | | | The logo is half-block art: its visible pixels *are* the foreground and the notches are the terminal's own background. A pass that painted backgrounds therefore turned the art into a slab with a logo-shaped hole -- so every splash pass is channel fg now, the effect lands on exactly the art's pixels, and the backdrop stays dark for free (a blank cell has no glyph for a colour to land on).
* slosh: the splash learns colouruser2026-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One tint is one colour, and every effect wore the theme accent -- six effects that were all the same dull blue. An effect is a *chain* now: phase-shifted tints in loud literal colours, mixing per cell, which is how a fixed-colour pass machinery does rainbows. Passes may light the backdrop's background too, so the box is a scene rather than tinted text, and the logo is drawn white -- the canvas that takes every hue at full saturation, where tinting blue towards pink lands on mud. The six: spectrum (rainbow bands), plasma (two interference patterns in clashing hues), fire (heat up the glyphs, embers in the box), rings (rainbow ripples), glitch (a reveal under two colours of static), aurora (green and violet curtains over cyan). The splash is deliberately the one place that does not defer to the theme: it is branding wearing a demo, not chrome. {"cmd":"splash","fx":N} picks an effect by index -- a test needs a deterministic one, and "show me the aurora again" deserved an answer. The new test counts dominant-channel hue families on the logo rows, because two hundred shades of the same blue is exactly the failure it guards against.
* slosh: greet an attach with the logo, wearing a random shaderuser2026-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | logo.txt is the source of truth; the Makefile bakes it into build/logo.h the way version.h is baked. When a client attaches (MSG_HELLO turning a connection into the display), the logo appears centered over everything for splash_ms (900, 0 for never), on a cleared backdrop, in the accent -- and one of six effects runs over its rect through the ordinary shader pass: a diagonal sheen, plasma, rings, sparkle, a left-to-right reveal, a breathe. Which one is picked by the splash's own timestamp, so every attach looks a little different without anybody keeping a counter. Every effect reads the clock, so the frame clock runs only while the splash is up (note_animation, same as any animated chain), and `since` in a splash context is milliseconds since it appeared, so one-shot effects sweep exactly once. Any key or click ends it and still lands where it was aimed: a greeting is not a modal. A screen the box does not fit on gets no greeting rather than a cropped one. Headless and scripted sessions never attach, so the whole fast suite never sees it; {"cmd":"splash"} triggers it on demand, which is what makes it testable from a scripted session -- and lets you replay the greeting whenever you like.
* slosh: split app.c into five units, mechanicallyuser2026-08-19
app.c was 7k lines wearing section markers; now the markers are files, cut exactly along them, no behaviour change: app.c the session core: config in force, pane and tab lifecycle, walking, input routing, introspection app_layout.c layout, tree edits, resizing, equalising, rotating, focus app_session.c layout files, checking, workspaces, dumping a session app_draw.c drawing, the shader passes, kitty graphics app_ui.c the finder, modals, the palette, the project picker, renaming include/app_internal.h carries what the five share: the tree/tab/app structs, CFG and the palette macros, and the 50-odd formerly static functions the cut made cross-unit, declared where they are defined. They keep their names; only the five units see the header. One test moved with the code: test_portable_layouts' staleness check greps the source for the layouts section, which now lives in app_session.c. Mechanical, so blame for anything in the four new files continues in app.c before this commit.
