* 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: shaders can be loaded from shared librariesuser2026-08-14
Adding an effect meant editing shader.c and rebuilding, which is fine for us and useless to anyone else. Now any `*.so` in the shader directory that exports a plugin table is loaded at startup, and what it declares is named in the config exactly like a built-in -- same syntax, same three parameters, same pass. Default location is a `shaders` directory beside the config file, so dropping the .so next to config.kdl is the whole installation. The interesting part is what a plugin can see, which is one header. shader_abi.h holds cell_t, color_t, shade_ctx_t, shader_t and nothing else: no libghostty-vt, no pty, no layout, no session. A shader is therefore unable to reach anything but the cell it was handed, not by rule but because nothing else is declared where it can find it. cell_t and color_t moved there from sl0ppty.h for the same reason -- that is the one place they are a contract with code compiled outside this tree rather than an internal type. Loading is deliberately narrow: - refused unless the library reports our ABI version *and* matching struct sizes. The version says which contract; the sizes catch someone editing their copy of the header, which a version number alone calls fine and a running session calls garbled colours; - refused if it redefines an existing name, because a config naming `dim` means the `dim` it was written against; - all-or-nothing per file, and per file: a bad library is a line on stderr and everything else still loads (D9 fail-open); - nothing is ever unloaded. A shade_fn may be sitting in a live config or on a pane, so dlclose() is a jump into an unmapped page. A reload picks up newly *added* plugins; replacing one needs a new session. This is the single exception to D9's "a plugin is a subprocess", and it is argued in D15 rather than drifted into: a shader is called per cell, per pass, per frame, which no subprocess can be in the path of, and the measured alternative -- interpreting bytecode per cell -- is 56ns against 8ns for the compiled function. On trust, `shell` and a layout's `command=` already let a file in the config directory run anything as you, so a .so beside them is not a new boundary. The docs say so plainly rather than implying a sandbox. contrib/shader-plugin is a working skeleton: Makefile, two commented effects (one positional, one animated), and the three rules a shader has to keep. It is built and loaded by the test suite, so a broken example is a failing test rather than someone else's afternoon.
