* osc 5577: `busy`, and a sidebar that shows it (busy_mark)user2026-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A status is a line of text, and a line of text cannot say whether it is still true. "building 3/7" reads exactly the same while it builds and ten minutes after it stopped, which is the one thing somebody reading it from another tab wants to know -- and the only workaround available to a program was to write the answer into the words and keep rewriting them. So `busy`: printf '\033]5577;1;status;make test\033\\' printf '\033]5577;1;busy;1\033\\' ... printf '\033]5577;1;busy;0\033\\' A flag of its own rather than a field of `status`, because a status is the *whole* payload after the verb -- `status;a;b;c` has always been the text "a;b;c" -- so anything added to that line would change what every existing sender means, including the five pi extensions D1 promises byte compatibility to. Orthogonal, so a program can leave one line up and toggle the other; anything but 0/false/no/off is on; `clear` takes both; and a pane whose program has gone is never busy, whatever it last claimed, because a spinner turning under a dead tab is a lie you keep looking at. In a sidebar the row turns `tab_status_busy` -- the theme's accent, derived like the other status colours, so no theme needs a line -- and takes a spinner in the column `tab_bar_padding` was already holding blank, so nothing reflows when a program starts or stops working. `busy_mark` is the frames, separated by spaces: one frame is a static mark and costs nothing, several make it turn, and only then does the session keep a frame clock -- via the same `animating` flag an animated shader uses, so the cost lands only while such a row is actually composed, and `""` drops the mark entirely and leaves the colour to say it. The frame is a pure function of the clock, like every other pulse here, so two clients attached to one session show the same one. `panes` now reports `status` and `busy`, which is the scriptable half of the same fact: what a pane says about itself, without reading its screen.
* slosh: rename the project from sl0pptyuser2026-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sl0p + pty was error-prone to type and the zero made it worse; slosh (slop + sh) is one syllable, impossible to typo, and slosh.foo is ours. Mechanical rename everywhere it appears: binary, env vars (SLOSH, SLOSH_SESSION, SLOSH_BIN, SLOSH_CONFIG), socket dir (/tmp/slosh-<uid>, $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/slosh), config path (~/.config/slosh), header guards, src/sl0ppty.h -> src/slosh.h, contrib/sl0ppty-dev -> contrib/slosh-dev, the driving-slosh skill, docs and tests. The sl0ppi fork references and the sl0p theme stay: one is history, the other is the brand. The rename surfaced a latent bug in test_osc5577: the hello-reply answer always appeared on screen twice (ECHOCTL echo plus cat -v), but a seven-character implementation name happened to wrap the second copy across the 60-column boundary, so counting substrings in wrapped text found one and passed for the wrong reason. A five-character name moved the wrap and exposed it. The loop guard itself is correct -- with echo off before the request there is exactly one reply -- so the test now counts on de-wrapped text and tolerates the pane's own echo.
* sl0ppty: ruff format the Pythonuser2026-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bumpy one, again. Every `.py` outside `vendor/` plus the three `contrib/` scripts that are Python with no extension: 60 files, 6,714 lines rewritten, no behaviour changed. Nothing here is worth reading -- the next commit adds it to `.git-blame-ignore-revs` so `git blame` walks past it. It is a bigger reformat than the C was, 60% of the lines against 17%, and for a reason worth writing down rather than tuning away: ruff and black break a call that does not fit onto one argument per line, where this code aligned the continuation under the opening paren. The test suite is thousands of `check("some prose", cond, detail)` calls, so nearly every one of them changed shape and the suite grew 3,308 lines. Line length was the one lever that moved it -- 120 columns would have been a 40% reformat and no growth at all -- and it was left at 88, because picking an unusual width to dodge a one-time diff is paying forever to avoid paying once. Import sorting came with it. Two files had `import os, pty, uuid, select, struct, sys, termios, time, fcntl, signal` on one line and now have ten. Verified after, not before, because a formatter that alters behaviour would be worse than none: - `make retest`, 1801 checks green -- and this reformats the suite that does the checking, including `harness.py`, which every one of those files imports. - `make test-live`, the tty tests the fast suite skips. They matter here more than usual: `live_input.py` and `live_m0.py` are two of the files whose comma-imports were split, and nothing in the fast suite would have noticed if that broke them. - All 60 files still compile, `make fmt` twice in a row changes nothing the second time, and `ruff check --select I` has nothing left to say.
* sl0ppty: workspaces, and layouts that write themselvesuser2026-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A **project** is a directory on disk. A **workspace** is the tab it occupies in a session. Two words because they are two things, and conflating them is how a session grows a second source of truth about what it is looking at. `project_roots "~/dev" "~/work" depth=2` is scanned for subdirectories holding a `sl0ppty.layout.kdl` -- or a `.git`, which is the project that has not said what it needs yet. Both markers, because a `~/dev` of forty checkouts and three layout files is a picker with three rows, and `C-a W` is how a project stops being the second kind. A directory that *is* a project is never descended into, so the walk stays off `node_modules` without anyone writing a rule about `node_modules`. `C-a w` is the third subject of the one picker (D19): the finder searches what this session has, this lists what is on disk, including the projects with no workspace open yet, which is most of them and the whole point. **Identity is the tab's `purpose`** -- `project:<name>.<hash8>` of the resolved path, the shape D3 already published -- so there is no second field to disagree with it, membership is a string comparison, and a dumped session restores it for free because a dump already writes tab purposes and applying one already locks them (D8). Hashed on the *path* rather than the name, so two worktrees of one repo are two workspaces, which is what they are. A tab whose layout gave it a purpose of its own keeps it and is simply not a member: overwriting a declared purpose is the one thing D8 forbids, and the reply counts the ones it left alone. **Nothing watches the filesystem.** The list is derived when it is asked for -- one `readdir` per root and two `stat`s per entry -- and an answer nobody remembered cannot be stale, which is a promise no watcher can make on a bind mount. The picker scans once as it opens, not per frame, because `draw_picker` asks for its rows every frame and a `readdir` per repaint is a filesystem walk at 120Hz. Opening is idempotent (`sl0ppi up`'s property): the same request twice is one workspace, focused, and the answer says which branch it took. Four things had to be true before `save-workspace` could exist, and none of them were. **A relative `cwd=` in a layout file now means that file's own directory** -- the rule `include` already followed for configs, applied to the other half of the same syntax. A project's layout could previously only name absolute directories, which are right on exactly one machine and wrong in a worktree of the same repo. **A dump can be asked for one tab, against a base.** `dump-layout` takes `tab`, `relative_to` and `suspend`. Writing it also turned up a bug: `dump_node` asked `cur(a)->focus` whichever tab it was writing, so a dump of three tabs restored the focus of one. **A dump records what a pane is *running*.** `label` only ever knew what a layout said, so a pane you split and typed `npm run dev` into had nothing to say for itself and came back as a bare shell -- which made arranging a project and writing it down two jobs instead of one. The kernel knows what the label does not: a pty has a foreground process group, and that group is by definition the job that owns the terminal, so the answer is read the way `live_cwd` already reads `/proc/PID/cwd`. Three things are deliberately not commands: a shell at a prompt (its group is the pane's own, and `command="zsh"` on every idle pane restores a session where each shell runs inside a shell), a background job (it does not own the terminal), and an ephemeral pane. A declared label still outranks a live process, because it survives the program exiting (D14) and re-saving must not degrade `npm run dev` into whatever the process tree looks like this minute. argv is joined with shell quoting, since `command=` goes through `/bin/sh -c`. **A pane from a split starts where the pane it came out of stands**, not where the server was launched. Wrong on its own, and it had been quietly writing an absolute path to somebody else's directory into every saved project. A saved project defaults to `suspend="commands"`: the pane running this morning's dev server is written asleep, because a *project's* layout is a statement of shape and a *session's* dump is a statement of fact. Over the API, replacing a layout that is already there is refused without `force`; from the keyboard `C-a W` replaces and says `replaced`, because a key cannot pass a flag and the file is committed text whose diff is the review. `--check` now holds a layout to the layout schema instead of answering with the name of the flag that reads one. `unknown pane property: cmd`, `split is cols or rows`, `purpose is ignored on a pane with panes in it` -- the mistakes a layout can make that still parses. The lists live beside `build_pane` and a test greps for every prop the loader reads, the arrangement that keeps `KNOWN_TOP` honest. **`C-a P` sets a pane's purpose**, a third subject on the editor the pane title and the tab label already share. A purpose is what tooling finds a pane by, and it could only be declared by a layout or set over the socket -- so every pane anybody arranged by hand had none, and a layout dumped from one was a shape with no tags in it. Typed by an operator it counts as declared (D8: "a layout or an operator"). Clearing one now *unlocks* it: a lock held over an empty string was the one state nothing could escape. `set-purpose` also reads `id: 0` as the focused pane now, which every sibling verb already did. Two gaps found on the way, both reachable only over the socket before: **`C-a X` closes a tab.** It used to be a side effect -- press `x` once per pane and the tab evaporates when the last one goes -- so four panes meant four presses and counting. It says how many panes went, since most of them were not the one you were looking at, and on the last tab it refuses and points at `q`: a key that closes a tab four times and ends your session the fifth is one you cannot press without counting first. No `✕` on the tabs, for the arithmetic that took the per-pane `+` away. **`scrollback` is a number we choose.** D4's "free from lib-vt" was true of the machinery and quietly false of the size: handed no limit, lib-vt picks its own -- 10,000 *bytes*, which measured at 622 lines of an 80-column pane, less than one `make` run. `scrollback` is lines, defaulting to the 10,000 every other multiplexer settled on, and `scrollback_bytes` is the ceiling it runs into, because either limit can be reached first and neither can see what the other depends on. Measured at 10,000 lines of styled output: ~6 MB at 80 columns (the ceiling never bites), ~15 MB at 200 (2% of the lines), ~32 MB at 400 (half of them). No `unlimited`, deliberately: the ceiling is per pane, and a negative is refused rather than wrapped into eighteen quintillion lines. Read when a pane is created, so it applies to the next pane you open -- same rule as `shell`, because shrinking a pane's history retroactively throws away output somebody is reading. `--project-root` was considered and dropped: the config is the one place projects are declared, and tests pin a config like every other config-driven feature. Verified: 1752 checks, all green. 90 in `tests/test_workspaces.py` (the two markers, depth without descending into a project, two worktrees as two workspaces, idempotent open, the honoured-purpose count, the save/close/open round trip byte-for-byte, the set-up-by-hand-and-write-it-down flow, the picker, and every verb's bare form); 53 in `tests/test_portable_layouts.py` (relative and absolute `cwd=`, text having no base, per-tab focus, the four `suspend` words, captured commands, an idle shell and a background job captured as nothing, spaces surviving the round trip, label precedence, and the checker's lists not going stale); 21 in `tests/test_purpose_editor.py`; 14 in `tests/test_scrollback.py`; 5 more in `tests/test_tabs.py`. `tests/test_osc5577.py` had a vacuous check: `\033` through the driver's unescaper is NUL + "33", so "a pane cannot relabel a declared purpose" passed without the sequence ever arriving. It uses `emit_cmd` now and has a positive control that the same sequence lands once the purpose is cleared. Three cheatsheet tests were pinned to terminal sizes that exactly fitted the old sheet, which four new bindings pushed past. They now ask for room; truncation has its own test.
* sl0ppty: a reply is never a requestuser2026-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `hello` was answered with the verb `hello`. Any pane that echoes what it is sent -- `cat`, `tee`, a shell with echo on, a REPL waiting for a line -- therefore answered the answer, and the session answered that. Measured before the fix: a pane running `tee` was sent 4,303,832 bytes and 165,532 hellos in a second and a half. Afterwards, 32 bytes and one. The fix is the rule rather than the instance: every message the session sends *to* a program ends its verb in `-reply`, no request verb may, and `on_osc5577` drops one on sight instead of relying on no handler happening to exist. So this cannot come back when the next verb gets an answer -- which is the commit after this one, and how I found it. `hello`'s reply is now `hello-reply;sl0ppty;1`. That is our own extension to the fork's protocol, not one of the five compatible verbs, so nothing written against sl0ppi notices. The fork's `click` goes to a program too and keeps its name: it predates the rule and is safe for the weaker reason that nothing answers a click. The suite was hiding this. `emit()` builds its pane out of `cat -v`, so the existing `hello` test had a pane trading megabytes with the session while it asserted -- and passed, because the assertion was `in`, and the first reply was in there along with all the rest. It now counts. Carries `pane_touch`, two lines, unused until the next commit: a pane whose shaders changed has to be repainted, and nothing about its cells changed to say so.
* sl0ppty: rename from sl0pttyuser2026-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A pty is a pseudo-terminal, and that is what this multiplexes: the extra t was never standing for anything. Renaming now, while the only users are the people who typed the old name on purpose, is cheaper than renaming later. Mechanical, but not only cosmetic. The name is also the runtime contract, so this moves $SL0PTTY and $SL0PTTY_CONFIG, ~/.config/sl0ptty/config.kdl, the socket directory ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/sl0ptty, /tmp/sl0ptty-<uid>), and the identity string a program gets back from an OSC 5577 hello. A session left running under the old binary keeps its old socket directory and is invisible to the new one; there is no migration and it does not seem worth writing one. The sl0ppi fork keeps its name: it is a different thing, and D1 still points at it.
* sl0ptty: M4 — OSC 5577 pane status bars, buttons and click reportssl0p2026-08-13
The payoff milestone: sl0ppi's pi extensions work here unmodified. printf '\033]5577;1;status;building 3/7\033\\' printf '\033]5577;1;buttons;approve:Approve;cancel:Cancel\033\\' ╰ building 3/7 ──────────────────────[Approve]─[Cancel]─╯ libghostty-vt's UNKNOWN_SEQUENCE reports APC only, so the sequences are picked up by a scanner (osc5577.c) reading the same bytes the terminal does — lib-vt discards an OSC it does not know, so nothing is drawn and no pane output has to be buffered. The scanner is a byte-at-a-time state machine, so a sequence split across reads still lands. Buttons are budgeted from the right before the status text gets any columns, and each registers its hit as it is painted — the split button's rule, for the split button's reason. A press sends the click report to that pane's stdin. In-band purposes arrive here too, and by construction can never be declared: a pane printing one is asking, not telling. A pane cannot relabel a purpose a layout declared, which is now tested end to end rather than only at the API. One real bug, found by the hostile-input tests: an over-long button id was truncated into a *valid* one, so a pane could mint a 40-character id that collides with the 32-character id its program already trusts. Ids are now unescaped into a large buffer and validated at full length. Acceptance test replays answer-picker's exact byte patterns, including `buttons` with no payload (drop buttons, keep status) and a click report that matches the extension's own CLICK_RE. Four test bugs on the way, each worth remembering: printf eats %3B as a format specifier; the driver's unescaper reads \0 as NUL so \033 became NUL+'33'; a trailing ST inside a double-quoted shell string escapes the quote (BEL avoids it); and readline eats a typed ESC as a meta prefix, so tests that drive a pane must not use an interactive shell. 187 checks green (160 headless + 27 live).
