Merge branch 'main' into docs-dired-stage1-landed

Re-integrated after #178 (terminal copy mode) landed. One conflict, in
COHERENCE.md's journey table: row 7 keeps this branch's text (dired #165
is merged, so "PR #165" is wrong), row 8 takes main's, which adds copy
mode and the missing close/kill command to the terminal step.

a terminal buffer. Since #173 that chord is `terminal.escape-key`
rather than a hardcoded `C-c`, so a user can *move* which prefix is
eaten; they cannot make the shadow stop eating one.
- **A worked example that a modal-*looking* feature need not become a
shadow.** Terminal copy mode (Stage 2 of the terminal-config arc) is
the case that most invited a seventh rung: it wants motion, search and
its own `g`/`q` inside a surface where every unescaped key otherwise
goes to a child process. It resolves to the buffer-local keymap idiom
instead, by **materializing** the retained scrollback into an ordinary
read-only document buffer. The keys-must-not-reach-the-child problem
then dissolves structurally rather than being guarded: the transport
arm keys on `is_terminal(buffer_id)`, and a snapshot buffer is not a
terminal, so the arm never fires. No new precedence rung, no new
hand-synced guard-list entry, and `describe-key` keeps reporting the
truth — pinned by asserting exactly that for the snapshot's `g` and
`q`, which is the observable difference between the idiom and a
shadow. **The count stays at six.**
The transferable rule: when a feature wants a keymap over *content*,
ask whether the content can become a buffer. The shadows that exist
are the cases where it genuinely cannot (a minibuffer prompt, a
live search prompt) — not the cases where nobody tried.
- **No transient-keymap mechanism exists to migrate to.** `KeymapStack`
has exactly three fixed scopes — `Buffer(BufferId)`, `Mode(String)`,
`Global` (`src/keymap_stack.rs:37-44`); resolution order buffer →

scalars. It is the clearest evidence yet that table-valued settings
are the blocking prerequisite: the terminal is now half-registered,
and no settings UI can render the half that matters most.
- **The missing `scope = "global"` flag has its second live case.** After
`autosave.interval-ms`, the terminal's two *open-time* settings —
`terminal.default-profile` and `terminal.scrollback-rows` — are read
before their terminal's identity buffer exists, so a buffer-local
override can never be consulted. The registry accepts `set_local` on
them anyway, because `Live` mutability is all it can express. Nothing
breaks; the setting simply has no effect, which is the worst shape a
configuration surface can take. `terminal.escape-key` is the contrast
that shows this is a real distinction rather than a blanket wish: it
*deliberately* supports buffer-locals, and per-terminal escapes are a
feature. So the argument for both deferrals is now **cumulative and
concrete** rather than hypothetical — two adopters, two distinct
missing primitives, one feature.
- **No persistence**: settings changed at runtime do not survive
restart (the `custom-file` split-brain question is a named deferral).

rebinding the undo *chords* buffer-locally does not close it, as
`compile.lua`'s own comment admits ("command/menu undo stays
dispatchable"). `Buffer::set_generated_contents` (write + discard
history + assert `read_only`, in one authorized call) now fixes this
for the terminal snapshot; `*compilation*` and listview panels have
not yet adopted it and remain emptiable. **A second half of the same
caveat, found in round 3: a rope write is only half of an edit.** The
owner-authorized write must be fanned out to the windows showing the
buffer and queued for replica mirrors, or the displaying window keeps
a line index describing the previous contents and the next paint
indexes the new rope with stale ranges. Adoption is therefore not a

binding; no protocol change. Main was integrated **twice** during the
single review round (`ccf29e3`, then `c93f9ee` after the first merge
left the PR conflicting) — see the no-CI-while-conflicting fact below.
- **Stage 2 = `terminal-copy-mode`, not started.** Branch it off `main`
after Stage 1 merges: no dependency, but both edit
`builtin/runtime/terminal.lua`.
- **Stage 2 = `githubsucks/terminal-copy-mode`**, worktree
`../pmacs-terminal-copy-mode`, based on `githubsucks/main` @
`cf54270`. Copy mode: `M-x terminal.copy-mode` / `C-c C-t`.
- **Stage 2 ships eight of nine criteria, and the missing one is named.**
Criterion 17 (a real semantic frontend proving neither daemon buffer
nor mirror mutates) is **not pinned**: the optimistic apply exists only
in `pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs`, and the headless `SemanticClient` every
other semantic test uses has no optimistic path, so a faithful test
must drive the real GPU binary — the `a37` foundation, which CI never
compiles, silently skips without the binary, and is load-sensitive. A
second test on that footing buys the appearance of coverage. Both
halves of the mechanism are pinned **ungated** instead: acceptance 16
(the guard is armed — `dispatch_idle` false while the snapshot is
focused) and 16b (the daemon holds — `is_read_only()` is **true** at
the rope, so an op that did arrive is refused by `ensure_writable()`).
**Rounds 2-3 changed what 17 must show.** 16b asserted `false` through
round 1, documenting the hazard; round 2 closed it. So the eventual
real-GPU test must look for **mirror mutation plus daemon refusal —
divergence** — not the "mutates both sides, silently" the criterion
originally specified, which after the fix cannot happen and would pass
for the wrong reason. The wire-level half stays an explicit obligation
of the CI `crdt`-coverage lane.
- Load-bearing Stage 2 decisions:
- **The snapshot MATERIALIZES into an ordinary buffer**, so isearch,
motion, selection and the kill ring work with no new substrate, and
"keys must not reach the child" dissolves structurally — the
transport arm keys on `is_terminal(buffer_id)` and a snapshot is not
a terminal. **The dispatch-shadow count stays at six.**
- **One serializer, not two** (Q#TC7): `copy_retained` builds a
whole-range *selection* and hands it to `copy_selection_bytes`.
- **`prune` reacts to removal rather than causing it** — it filters on
`!registry.contains(buffer_id)`, so a child exiting does NOT remove
the terminal buffer. That is why `on_removed` is a sound teardown
hook, and why a finished command's output stays readable.
- **Five bites, five different wrong implementations.** Removing
`set_round_trip_input` fails acceptance 16 **in the default
configuration** (the whole reason that pin is ungated); a naive
independently-written serializer fails all four unit pins, with the
diffs naming each drift mode (broken soft wrap, untrimmed blanks,
trailing newline); making re-invoke create a fresh buffer fails 18;
dropping the kill-with-terminal teardown fails 18; removing the
intercept fails 16b. Each failed exactly one test.
- **Review round 1 — four findings, all real, and they rhyme in pairs.**
Two P1 implementation defects and two P2 vacuous pins, all four tracing
to one root: **a name is not an identity, and a context-free readout is
not a state observation.**
- *P1 — a foreign same-named buffer was adopted and clobbered.* Snapshot
writes use `bypass_intercept`, so found-by-name adoption overwrote a
user's buffer; the reviewer reproduced "do not clobber" becoming 23
newlines. Fixed by dired's F7 rule: **ownership means "in our own
handle table"**, and a taken name yields a `<2>` variant.
- *P1 — snapshot identity was keyed by terminal NAME.*
`TerminalManager::open` uniquifies only the *derived* name, so an
explicit `name = "*same*"` lets two valid terminals share one; they
then shared a snapshot, `q` returned to the wrong terminal, and
killing either removed it. Now keyed by comparing buffer handles in an
array — `BufferIdLua` implements `__eq` but each wrapper is a distinct
table key, so **comparison works and hashing does not**.
- *P2 — the refresh pins were vacuous.* 19 compared a quiet terminal's
snapshot against itself and 18 counted buffers, so both passed with
`render_snapshot` replaced by a no-op. Now the test types a marker
into the `cat` child, requires it **absent** first, then refreshes.
- *P2 — the tail-follow pin could not observe view state.*
`manager.snapshot(buffer_id)` is context-free and always reads the
live screen, so it reported "at the tail" for a view forced to the
oldest retained row. Now read through `snapshot_for_view`'s
`at_bottom` and projected cells.
- **Four more bites, all discriminating.** Restoring adopt-by-name fails
18a *and* 18b; restoring name-keyed identity fails 18b; making
`render_snapshot` a no-op fails **both** 18 and 19 (the vacuity,
demonstrated); and forcing the view off the tail fails 20.
- **Review round 2 — one P1, and its fix retires half a named deferral.**
**Undo emptied the "read-only" snapshot.** `render_snapshot` wrote with
`bypass_intercept`, leaving ordinary undo history, and **`Buffer::undo`
reaches the rope through `ensure_writable` without ever consulting the
intercept chain** — so `C-/` *or* `M-x buffer.undo` replaced a freshly
rendered snapshot with an empty buffer. `set_round_trip_input` does not
help: it routes the key into the daemon command path, which is where
undo runs.
- **Rebinding the undo chords would NOT have fixed it**, and
`compile.lua` already says so in a comment — "command/menu undo stays
dispatchable". `*compilation*` and listview panels therefore carry the
same latent defect today.
- Fixed with `Buffer::set_generated_contents` (Lua
`pmacs.buffer.set_generated_contents`): lift `read_only`, replace
skipping intercepts, **discard history**, re-assert `read_only`. This
ships the deferred lane's two halves *as one primitive* — a bare
`set_read_only` would let a caller lock a buffer it can no longer
refresh, which is exactly why that lane was deferred. Clearing history
also stops a periodically refreshed buffer accumulating rope clones
nothing can ever pop.
- New pins: **acc16c** drives the real M-x path
(`command.invoke_interactive`), the chord, and redo, and asserts the
owner's refresh still works; **acc16b** flipped from asserting
`is_read_only()` is *false* to *true*, because the property it
described is the one that was fixed; plus three `buffer.rs` unit tests.
- Bite: restoring the `delete`+`insert` render reproduces the report
exactly — `left: Some("")` against the full snapshot — failing acc16c
and acc16b.
- **Still open:** `*compilation*` and listview remain emptiable by
`M-x buffer.undo`; the primitive they need now exists and is proven,
so the remainder is adoption plus a streaming-friendly variant.
- **Review round 3 — one P1 and two P2s, all on the round-2 primitive.**
The lesson: **a rope write is only half of an edit, and "discard
history" means whichever history the buffer actually has.**
- **P1 — the binding swallowed the edit.** `set_generated_contents`
returned `()`, so nothing called `notify_buffer_edit_to_windows`.
Two consequences, both reproduced by the reviewer: in the default
build a window showing the buffer kept a `TextView` line index
describing the *previous* contents, and the next paint indexed the
new rope with stale ranges — `assertion failed: end <= self.len()`
in `src/rope.rs`; in the CRDT build `pending_crdt_ops` stayed empty,
so replica mirrors never received the owner's write. The prior
`buf:delete`/`buf:insert` pair had done this fan-out for free.
Fixed by applying **one whole-buffer `Replace`**, returning its
`Edit`, and notifying from the binding.
- **P2 — "discard history" was false in CRDT mode.** The v0.1 stacks
are bypassed entirely there; the history lives in loro's
`UndoManager`. `read_only` stops the replay but not the retention,
which is the memory cost the contract claims to eliminate.
`UndoManager` has no `clear`, but needs none — it records only what
happens after construction, the property `CrdtState::from_bytes`
already uses to keep the seed insert out of undo. New
`CrdtState::clear_undo_history` rebinds a fresh manager to the
same doc.
- **P2 — the docs described the pre-fix architecture.** Q#TC6a said no
Lua binding sets `read_only` and round-trip input is the only guard;
the acceptance text still said `is_read_only() == false` while 16b
had been flipped to `true`; `terminal.lua`'s comment repeated the
obsolete claim. The architecture is **layered** and now says so:
rope-level read-only protects the daemon copy, round-trip input
protects the replica's optimistic mirror, and neither substitutes
for the other. Q#TC6a carries a superseded-in-part box rather than
being silently rewritten.
- New pins: **acc16d** paints the window after a *shrinking* generated
write (the stale offsets then point past the end, which is the
reported crash rather than stale pixels); **acc16e** asserts the
refresh is queued for mirrors through the real copy-mode path
(`crdt`-gated, therefore dark in CI — 16d is the half that runs);
plus a CRDT `buffer.rs` unit test that ten renders leave the
`UndoManager` with nothing recorded.
- Bites: dropping the notify panics acc16d at `rope.rs:145` and fails
acc16e with `queued: []`; dropping the `UndoManager` rebind fails
the new unit test on `can_undo`.
- **Still open:** the fan-out obligation makes `*compilation*`/listview
adoption more than a one-line swap — recorded in `COHERENCE.md` §14
alongside the undo half.
- **Review round 4 — one P2, docs only, and it is the interesting kind.**
**A fix can invalidate a test that was never written.** Criterion 17's
*bite* still described the pre-round-2 world: remove
`set_round_trip_input` and the op "mutates both sides, silently, with
no divergence to notice". True while nothing set `read_only` from Lua;
false once `set_generated_contents` did. A real-GPU test written to
that spec would hunt for a daemon-side edit that can no longer occur
and pass for the wrong reason — the specification would have leaked
the round-2 regression back in, through a test not yet built.
- Restated around **unauthorized mirror mutation plus daemon refusal =
divergence**, in all four places that carried the old claim: the
criterion, the Q#TC6a heading, the acceptance-16 doc comment, and the
bite roster. The heading's "ONLY thing" now says what it is the only
thing *for* — the replica's own mirror.
- Why round-trip input is still load-bearing rather than redundant: a
daemon refusal arrives after the frontend has already applied
optimistically and painted. It buys divergence instead of silent
agreement; it does not prevent the mutation the user sees.
- **Gate-run flake observed and scoped without overclaiming its cause.**
`cargo test --lib --features crdt` failed ~1 run in 5 on
`process::tests::setsid_escapee_is_not_reaped_and_teardown_reclaims_readers`
`active_reader_probe` returning `None` at `process.rs:3179`
("live runtime probe"). **Pre-existing and unrelated:** this branch
does not touch `src/process.rs` (last changed by the Darwin PTY
signal-name fix), and the test passed 10/10 standalone; the observed
failures were during parallel full-suite runs. That localizes the
trigger to suite load or interaction, but does **not** distinguish
parallelism from another full-suite effect — no serial full-suite bite
was run. The leading code-path explanation is the known `drain_until`
trap: draining for `Started` also ticks, and a tick can reap the leader
before the following `active_reader_probe`. That is an inference from
the failure site and control flow, not yet a falsified root cause.
It belongs to the CI `crdt`-coverage lane for discrimination. The two
round-2 CRDT failures had no captured test names; this flake is a
plausible candidate for them, but they remain **unattributed**.

Criterion 17's semantic-frontend end-to-end pin is deliberately
absent — see the note under it — because a faithful version requires the real
`pmacs-gpu` optimistic path, and therefore the `a37` foundation, which CI never
compiles and which skips silently. Both halves of the *mechanism* it guards are
pinned ungated instead (16, 16b). No other criterion is partial.

"skip the intercepts". Naming only the setter would have made it look like a
one-line follow-up.
**PARTIALLY RETIRED in Stage 2, because review round 2 turned it from a
nice-to-have into a defect.** An intercept guards the dispatch path only,
and `Buffer::undo` reaches the rope through `ensure_writable` without ever
consulting the intercept chain — so a single `C-/` replaced a freshly
rendered snapshot with an empty buffer. Rebinding the undo chords
buffer-locally, which is `*compilation*`'s existing idiom, does **not**
close it: `compile.lua` says so itself ("command/menu undo stays
dispatchable"), and `M-x buffer.undo` needs no keymap.
The fix ships the deferral's two halves together as **one** primitive
rather than exposing the setter: `Buffer::set_generated_contents` (Lua:
`pmacs.buffer.set_generated_contents`) lifts `read_only`, replaces the
contents skipping intercepts, **discards the history**, and re-asserts
`read_only`. Pairing the lock with the write is precisely what makes it
safe — a bare `set_read_only` would let a caller lock a buffer it can no
longer refresh, which is why the lane was deferred in the first place.
Discarding history is load-bearing twice: it removes the entries undo
would replay, and it stops a periodically refreshed buffer accumulating
rope clones that `read_only` guarantees nothing can ever pop.
**What remains of the lane:** `*compilation*` and listview panels still
rely on intercept-plus-round-trip and are still emptiable by
`M-x buffer.undo`. The primitive they need now exists and is proven, so
the remaining work is adoption plus a streaming-friendly variant
(`*compilation*` appends rather than replacing wholesale).
**The CRDT half is closed too** (review round 3). Clearing the v0.1
stacks proves nothing in CRDT mode, where they are bypassed entirely and
the history lives in loro's `UndoManager`. `read_only` would stop that
history being *replayed* but not *retained* — a panel refreshed on a
timer still grows without bound, which is the condition the contract
says it eliminates. `UndoManager` exposes no `clear`, but it needs none:
a manager records only what happens after it is constructed, which
`CrdtState::from_bytes` already relies on to keep the seed insert out of
undo. `CrdtState::clear_undo_history` rebinds a fresh manager to the same
doc, and `set_generated_contents` clears whichever history the buffer
actually has.

16c. **Undo cannot empty the snapshot, by chord OR by command** (review

snapshot must be `read_only` at the rope. Pinning only the chords would
be a false pass: `M-x buffer.undo` and the menu reach the command with
no keymap involved, which is why `*compilation*`'s chord-rebinding idiom
does not close this. Pinned through **`invoke_interactive`**, the real
M-x path, plus the chord, plus redo — and paired with an assertion that
the owner's own refresh still works, since that is what plain
`read_only` would have broken.
16d. **A generated write reaches the window, not just the rope** (review

Pinned by **painting** — a shrinking write, so the stale offsets point
past the buffer end and the next render trips
`assertion failed: end <= self.len()` in `src/rope.rs`, which is the
reported crash rather than merely stale pixels. Driven through the Lua
binding copy mode itself calls, so it covers every future owner of the
primitive.
16e. **The same write is queued for replica mirrors** (review round 3,

upgraded snapshot. `crdt`-gated, therefore dark in CI — 16d is the half

(Q#TC6a). Bite: with `set_round_trip_input` removed, the frontend
applies the edit **optimistically to its own mirror** and emits the op;
the mirror now shows text the user was told is read-only. The daemon
refuses the op at `ensure_writable()``set_generated_contents` leaves
`read_only` asserted — so the two copies **diverge**, and the local
mirror is the one the user is looking at.
**This bite changed in review round 3, and the direction matters.**
Rounds 1-2 specified it as "mutates *both sides*, silently, with no
divergence to notice" — true when nothing set `read_only` from Lua,
and false now. The eventual real-GPU test must assert **mirror
mutation plus daemon refusal**, not silent agreement; written the old
way it would look for a daemon-side edit that can no longer happen and
pass for the wrong reason. That the daemon now holds is exactly why
round-trip input is still load-bearing rather than redundant: a
refusal protects the daemon's copy and does nothing for the replica's.
**NOT PINNED as specified, deliberately, and this is the one gap in
Stage 2.** A faithful test has to drive the *real* `pmacs-gpu` binary:
the optimistic apply lives only in `pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs`
(`optimistic_crdt_insert` / `optimistic_insert_text`), and the headless
`SemanticClient` the other semantic tests use has no optimistic path at
all, so it cannot produce the op whose absence is the claim. That means
building on the `a37` foundation — which is `crdt`-gated so CI never
compiles it, **returns `ok` without running** when `pmacs-gpu` is absent
from the target directory, and is load-sensitive enough to pass and fail
at the same commit twenty minutes apart. A second test on that footing
would add the appearance of coverage without the substance.
What IS pinned instead, ungated and in CI: acceptance 16 asserts the
guard is armed (`dispatch_idle` false while the snapshot is focused, so
no replica can apply optimistically or emit), and acceptance 16b asserts
the buffer is `is_read_only()` **true** at the rope, so an op that did
arrive at the daemon would be refused by `ensure_writable()` rather
than applied. (Rounds 1-2 asserted **false** here, documenting the
hazard; round 2 closed it, and the assertion was flipped with it.
That does not make 17 redundant — a daemon-side refusal cannot stop a
replica mutating its own mirror, which is precisely what
`set_round_trip_input` is for.) Together those cover both halves of
Q#TC6a's *mechanism*. What remains unproven is only the end-to-end wire
behaviour of a real GPU frontend, and it stays an explicit obligation of
the CI `crdt`-coverage lane rather than being quietly dropped.
18. Re-invoking against the same terminal refreshes in place; the buffer count
does not grow (Q#TC8). Killing the snapshot leaves the terminal running;
killing the terminal removes the snapshot.
**The refresh half must be observed by CONTENT, not by buffer count**
(review round 1). Counting buffers, or comparing a quiet terminal's
snapshot against itself, passes with `render_snapshot` replaced by a
no-op. The child is `exec cat`, so the test types a marker into the
focused terminal, requires it **absent** from the existing snapshot, and
only then re-invokes — the "advance the world" discipline.
18a. **A foreign buffer carrying the snapshot's name is never adopted.**
`pmacs.buffer.create` accepts any caller-chosen name, and snapshot writes
use `bypass_intercept`, so found-by-name adoption silently overwrites a
user's data — reproduced in review round 1 as "do not clobber" becoming
23 newlines. Ownership means **"in copy mode's own handle table"**, which
is dired's F7 rule; a taken name yields a `<2>` variant.
18b. **Snapshot identity is the terminal BUFFER, not its name.**
`TerminalManager::open` uniquifies only the *derived* name — an explicit
`name = ...` is inserted verbatim — so two valid terminals can share one.
A name-keyed table hands them a single snapshot: the second invocation
retargets it, `q` returns to the wrong terminal, and killing either one
removes the shared buffer. Keyed instead by comparing buffer handles in
an array, because `BufferIdLua` implements `__eq` but each wrapper is a
distinct table key — comparison works, hashing does not.
19. `C-t` in a terminal buffer (physically `C-c C-t`) enters copy mode; `g`
refreshes the snapshot from the live terminal and `q` returns to the source
terminal (Q#TC8a).
20. The live terminal's own keys are unchanged while a snapshot exists
(Q#TC9), and the terminal keeps following its tail.
**Tail-following must be read through the registered VIEW.** Review
round 1: `TerminalManager::snapshot(buffer_id)` is context-free and
always returns the live screen, so it reports "at the tail" even for a
view forced to the oldest retained row — falsified by doing exactly
that and watching the assertion still pass. `snapshot_for_view`'s
`at_bottom` plus its projected cells are the only observables that can
tell the two apart.
