docs: July 2026 roadmap — ranked arcs; Arc 1 (LSP utility surface) active
State assessment from a five-way sweep (core editing/persistence, LSP, GPU parity, extensibility/terminal, deferred-work inventory). Records the decision to push Arc 1 (completion popup, LSP panels, semantic-token auto-pull, signature trigger) with Arc 2 editing table-stakes interleaved, plus the ranked remaining arcs and housekeeping list.

# pmacs roadmap — July 2026
|
||||
|
||||
Date: 2026-07-07. Produced from a five-way codebase/docs/memory sweep
|
||||
(core editing + persistence, LSP surface, GPU parity, extensibility +
|
||||
terminal, deferred-work inventory across all framing docs).
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision (2026-07-07): push Arc 1 (LSP utility surface), with Arc 2
|
||||
(editing table stakes) items interleaved between sub-arcs.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## State assessment (as of main @ ccb0ff6, protocol v14)
|
||||
|
||||
**Strong.** CRDT multi-frontend core; both frontends at near input/render
|
||||
parity (GPU exceeds TUI: minimap, wavy squiggles); LSP data layer — 13
|
||||
language ids / ~8 servers, rename + cross-file definition + formatting
|
||||
fully working, semantic tokens + inlay hints rendering; package manager
|
||||
(git installs, lockfile, resolver, SHA-256 hardening); MCP client; async
|
||||
worker + PTY subprocess substrate; bundled line-oriented REPL package;
|
||||
headless GPU render CI; help system; buffer-list UI; atomic save;
|
||||
persisted minibuffer history.
|
||||
|
||||
**Dark matter — built but unwired (highest leverage).**
|
||||
|
||||
- Complete completion framework (`src/completion_framework.rs`:
|
||||
providers for lsp/snippets/project-symbols/dabbrev; store;
|
||||
`CompletionView` popup in `src/completion.rs`) — **no keybinding, no
|
||||
typed-char trigger, popup never instantiated, no GPU message.**
|
||||
- `HoverView` (`src/hover.rs`), `SignatureView` (`src/signature.rs`),
|
||||
document-highlight store — plumbing only. Hover / signature /
|
||||
references / document-symbols surface as one-line modeline summaries
|
||||
(`builtin/runtime/lsp.lua` marks each "future UX work").
|
||||
- Code actions apply the **first** action blindly — no picker.
|
||||
- Semantic-token pull is refresh/manual-only (no pull on attach/edit) —
|
||||
semantic styling can silently never appear. Arguably a bug.
|
||||
- Wire-declared but unproduced protocol families: `FoldState`,
|
||||
`BlockAdornments`, `ResourceOffer` (no fold engine / blame / diff
|
||||
source).
|
||||
|
||||
**Absent.** Query-replace, kill ring (single slot only), keyboard
|
||||
macros, rectangles, registers, comment/uncomment, auto-indent,
|
||||
snippets, auto-pairing; desktop-save/session restore, recentf,
|
||||
saveplace, autosave, backups, crash recovery; theming beyond syntax
|
||||
captures (all chrome hardcoded per-frontend; GPU font hardcoded);
|
||||
terminal emulation (`src/ansi.rs` parses but discards alt-screen /
|
||||
cursor addressing — no grid/scrollback); compile/grep/shell-command
|
||||
modes; DAP debugging; GPU splits / multi-buffer / auto-reconnect.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Arcs, ranked by value-per-effort
|
||||
|
||||
### Arc 1 — LSP utility surface: "light up the dark matter" ← ACTIVE
|
||||
|
||||
Data layer is done; only UI is missing.
|
||||
|
||||
- **1a. In-buffer completion popup** (first). Trigger on typing,
|
||||
TAB/RET accept, both frontends. GPU needs a wire message — mirror the
|
||||
minibuffer-dropdown pattern (protocol v12). Framework + popup view
|
||||
already exist.
|
||||
- **1b. Panels**: hover popup, code-action picker, references list,
|
||||
document-symbol outline. Generalize the buffer-list UI pattern
|
||||
(`*buffer-list*` buffer-local bindings) into a reusable list-buffer
|
||||
idiom.
|
||||
- **1c. Semantic-token auto-pull fix** (small): pull on attach + on
|
||||
edit-flush, like inlay hints already do.
|
||||
- **1d. Signature-help auto-trigger** on `(`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arc 2 — Editing table stakes (interleave with Arc 1)
|
||||
|
||||
Each small, core-only, frontend-agnostic: query-replace (isearch
|
||||
exists; `search.rs` has no replace API), real kill ring + `M-y`,
|
||||
comment/uncomment, auto-indent on newline, auto-pairing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arc 3 — Persistence/serialization
|
||||
|
||||
Desktop-save (buffer set + layout + cursors → restore), recentf,
|
||||
saveplace, autosave + crash recovery, optional backups. Generalize the
|
||||
`$XDG_STATE_HOME/pmacs/` pattern from minibuffer history. Framing
|
||||
question: what is a "session" in a daemon world; do CRDT snapshots
|
||||
ride along.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arc 4 — Themes + extensibility surface
|
||||
|
||||
Extend `pmacs.theme` from syntax captures to named UI faces (modeline,
|
||||
minibuffer, gutter, selection, status band); wire GPU chrome to it —
|
||||
Q#UX1 lesson applies: rendering is frontend-local but control is
|
||||
daemon-owned, so a wire channel (`ThemeFacts`-style) is needed. Add
|
||||
`pmacs.gpu.set_font` (designed, never built) and a Lua
|
||||
statusline-segment API.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arc 5 — Terminal, staged
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stage 1**: compile-mode / grep-mode / shell-command on the existing
|
||||
PTY + ANSI + REPL-package substrate (line-oriented output buffer,
|
||||
error-regex jump-to-file, `M-x compile`). Cheap, transformative.
|
||||
- **Stage 2 (vterm)**: extend `ansi.rs` into a 2D grid model
|
||||
(alt-screen, cursor addressing, scrollback — parser already
|
||||
recognizes and discards these), grid-backed buffer view, GPU
|
||||
rendering question (grid cells vs text buffer).
|
||||
|
||||
### Arc 6 — Folding (keystone gutter rider)
|
||||
|
||||
Fold engine (tree-sitter fold ranges) unblocks gutter fold markers +
|
||||
the unproduced `FoldState` wire family + a visible feature. Git gutter
|
||||
markers similarly just need a diff source.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arc 7 — Debugging (DAP)
|
||||
|
||||
Greenfield but newly unblocked: gutter (breakpoint signs), process
|
||||
substrate (DAP = JSON-RPC over stdio, same shape as the LSP client),
|
||||
list-buffer panels from Arc 1b (stack/variables). Frame after Arc 1
|
||||
ships — panels are reused here.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arc 8 — GPU structural parity
|
||||
|
||||
Splits / multi-buffer (largest unscoped design problem), auto-reconnect
|
||||
after daemon restart, cursor blink, font/theme config (overlaps Arc 4).
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Housekeeping (do opportunistically)
|
||||
|
||||
- Merge PR #91 (gutter click classification + fit guard).
|
||||
- Delete or mark-superseded stale docs: `pmacs-gpu-editing-perf-handoff.md`
|
||||
(freeze fixed by PR #60 arc), `session-5-stale-styling-handover.md`
|
||||
(fixed, task #25 closed), `python_experiment.md`, `#run.sh#`,
|
||||
`semantic-frontend-protocol.md.local-bak`.
|
||||
- `V0.2-PREREQUISITES.md` cited twice by CHANGELOG but missing on disk —
|
||||
reconstruct or unlink.
|
||||
- README still leads with "What v0.1 ships with" — refresh.
|
||||
- F-016 lua_bindings split: ~5–8 tranches left; `editor.rs` (7k lines)
|
||||
and `pmacs-gpu/main.rs` (7.6k lines) splits are named follow-up arcs.
|
||||
- Deferred backlogs live in each framing doc's Deferred section; the
|
||||
consolidated sweep is reflected above.
