fix(listview): flat panels keep their TAB, and a selection test that bites
FOUR REVIEW FINDINGS, and the first two were right about the tests.

1. THE SELECTION ACCEPTANCE WAS VACUOUS. `tr_1` toggles the selected
root, which sits on line 1 before and after collapsing — so it passes
unchanged under the line-based re-seating that id-keyed re-seating was
built to replace. It proves collapse hides descendants; it proves
nothing about selection. `tr_4` adds the case that discriminates: an
`on_refresh` inserts a row ABOVE the selected node, so the node moves,
and the assertion is that selection follows the NODE. Bitten by
restoring `seat_cursor(p, saved)`: `tr_4` fails with left "  kid2",
right "sibling", while old `tr_1` passes — which is the finding,
reproduced.

The substantive assertion is deliberately ordered first. It was second
at one point, behind the fixture check that the node moved, and a
regression then reported as "the insert must move the selected node" —
reading like a broken fixture rather than a broken re-seat.

2. FLAT PANELS WERE NOT BEHAVIOUR-IDENTICAL. `bind_local_keymap` binds
TAB on every listview, so a depthless panel that previously fell
through to the global binding — and to Q#P3's read-only intercept —
began answering "listview: no node here". `listview.toggle` now
delegates to `buffer.tab` when no row carries an id, restoring the
prior path exactly; leaf feedback is kept for panels that really are
trees. `tr_3` asserts the absence of both tree messages rather than
merely that the panel still renders.

3 and 4 are documentation. The lane now lists 38e94dc, and no longer
says the PR is held "pending review of the documentation" that the same
commit supplied — it is held pending the decision to open it. §20 said
to BUILD the tree primitive while §14 already carried ◐; it now says
what actually remains, which is adoption: dired's `i` is the next
constraint source, DAP's variables view is why this was worth building
before them.

ONE RED, CLASSIFIED RATHER THAN RERUN AWAY. The crdt lib gate failed
`composition_overhead_under_ten_percent` at 30.7%. It is an incumbent
handoff hazard, and the branch cannot reach it — the diff versus main
touches no src/, no crate, no manifest. Alone it ran 5/5 green at
-0.6% to +0.2%; the next full run was green. Recorded in the handoff as
a MEASUREMENT, not a cause: five isolated greens establish that the
ratio is nowhere near the threshold when alone, not that contention is
what pushed it over. Not a registry row either — that file judges red
CI runs, and this was local.

Verified: fmt, clippy, diff-check, --lib 1896/0, --lib --features crdt
2081/0, listview 22/22, m4 150/0.

test(listview): byte-identity for the flat consumers, and two findings
ACCEPTANCE 5, and it needed a real test rather than a weakened claim.
`listview_acceptance` says in its own header that the references panel
"needs a live LSP and is validated manually / via the m4 harness", so it
does not exercise `*references*` at all; the m4 hover test asserts
content PRESENCE, not exact output. Neither would notice a flat consumer
silently gaining an indent column — the regression a tree extension can
introduce. So the coverage is written against the real entry points
through the fake language server.

`*references*` is pinned EXACTLY: the row is the location string and
nothing else. `*lsp*` formats its own two-space indentation, so
"starts with a space" is not a violation there; what must hold is that
the primitive reproduces the consumer's text verbatim, matched as a
WHOLE LINE — a substring would still be found inside a further-indented
copy of itself. Volatile parts (pid, elapsed) are deliberately excluded,
the same normalization reasoning the CI registry uses.

THE FIRST BITE PASSED, AND THAT WAS THE FINDING. Injecting
`string.rep("  ", row.depth or 0)` did not fail the test — flat rows
carry no depth, so it added nothing. I had simulated a regression the
flat path is immune to and would have recorded the test as verified.
The regression this criterion actually guards is an UNCONDITIONAL
column, a fold gutter on every row; with that injected the test fails on
"the flat references row renders verbatim". A bite that passes validates
the pair, not the test — and injecting the wrong defect teaches nothing
while feeling like assurance.

A VERIFICATION RECORD, including one unclassified occurrence. The first
local crdt sweep of this branch reported 7 failures and its SIGNATURES
WERE DESTROYED before being read, piped through an aggregation that
emitted only totals. That is the failure the CI registry exists to
prevent, committed one lane after writing it, and it is why the cause
cannot now be established rather than merely being unknown.

It is recorded in this lane's own framing and deliberately NOT as a
registry row: that registry keys on a normalized signature, and an
occurrence with none would be granted a recognisability it cannot
support — the same reasoning that made the unevidenced incumbents audit
notes rather than rows.

Four re-runs are tabulated with what each supports. Two were not
isolated, including one where my own guard printed "aborting" and did
not abort. TWO GENUINELY ISOLATED RUNS ARE BOTH CLEAN, which supports
repeatability under isolation and establishes nothing about the cause.

Two mechanisms are recorded as NON-CAUSAL hypotheses, because both were
present and neither can now be tested: a shared CARGO_TARGET_DIR (whose
reciprocal case another lane observed independently, with `pgrep`
evidence and failing text that named its own cause), and ~40 resident
leaked daemons. Having two plausible mechanisms and no way to
discriminate IS the result; naming either would repeat the reasoning
this project has rejected — concluding something about an occurrence
from something that was not about that occurrence.

Both mechanisms are recorded as standing hazards in the handoff, and the
daemon leak gets its own candidate lane: 42 orphans, oldest four days,
reparented to systemd with deleted sockets, from
`gpu_invocation_acceptance`'s one-command tests, leaking 3-4 per sweep
as measured rather than estimated. It predates this work and belongs to
the reap-ledger family — a process outliving its supervisor with nothing
watching it — but the existing ledger arms only for `spec.group` and so
does not cover it.

Verified: fmt, diff-check, luajit sweep 3453/0 and crdt 3722/0, each
exactly +4 on its baseline.

feat(listview): the tree primitive — depth, collapse, and identity
COHERENCE.md §14's last missing workbench primitive. Q#TR1-TR4 decided
at review; this implements them.

EXTENDS LISTVIEW rather than adding a treeview (Q#TR1). A separate
primitive would either duplicate ~200 lines of panel discipline —
Q#GB18 handle identity, Q#GB13 `<2>` disambiguation, the read-only
intercept, `prev` capture, the quit chain, generated-buffer writes — or
require extracting them from a shipped primitive first, which is the
riskier change. Rows gain OPTIONAL `depth` and `id`; absent, they behave
exactly as before, which is what keeps the three flat consumers
untouched.

THE OBSERVATION THAT MADE THIS CHEAP: collapse only ever HIDES rows and
never changes a surviving row's depth. Combined with consumers emitting
parents before children in document order, a node's descendants are a
CONTIGUOUS RUN of following rows with greater depth. So collapse is
filtering an existing array, not re-deriving one — the primitive never
calls the consumer to re-render a fold, and pre-rendered indentation
stays correct. That is why `text` remains consumer-supplied (Q#TR4),
which also sidesteps the future conflict with dired's fixed-width
`_layout` column contract.

It is also why a panel with NO `on_refresh` can still fold. The anchor
consumer is exactly that panel: the outline has no refresh at all
(framing §1.5a), so a design requiring the consumer to re-supply rows on
every fold would not have worked for the only consumer that exists.

SELECTION IS RE-SEATED BY ID, NOT BY LINE (Q#TR3). A fold inserts or
removes rows above the cursor, so a line-keyed restore lands on an
unrelated node — the defect `listview.refresh` already had in milder
form. `id` is consumer-supplied and compared by equality; the primitive
never derives one. The outline uses `line:col`, unique per document and
stable across re-render, rather than the `::` parent chain, which
collides on overloads and same-named siblings — precisely where a stale
expansion would reattach to the wrong node.

`has_children` reads the FULL row array rather than the rendered subset.
A collapsed node's children are absent from `line_to_row` by
construction, so asking the rendered view would answer "no" for every
collapsed node and make expanding impossible.

TAB ON A LEAF REPORTS rather than silently doing nothing. The outline's
`g` is already a dead binding — bound, dispatched, no feedback — and
this primitive must not add a second one.

Tests: fold hides ALL descendants while the node and its SIBLING
survive; state and selection survive a re-render; a leaf reports; and a
depthless panel is unchanged by TAB. The fold test is bite-verified —
disabling only the ancestor filter fails it on "descendants hidden".

Verified: fmt, diff-check, clippy with and without crdt, --lib 1896, m4
149, listview 21/21, and the full serialized luajit sweep at 3453
passed / 0 failed. That count reconciles exactly: main is 3450 (Stage
3's 3449 sweep predated its capability-fallback pin) plus these three
tests.

fix(test): retire R2 and R4 — two readiness predicates weaker than their assertions
Stage 2 of `docs/macos-ci-signal-integrity-framing.md` revision 3
(acceptance 6–9). Two test races, both the same shape: the thing waited
for was weaker than the thing asserted, so the wait could return inside
the window the assertion needs closed.

R4 — `wait_for_file` returned as soon as `fs::read` succeeded, which
succeeds on a ZERO-BYTE FILE. The probe publishes with
`open(path,'wb').write(b'1')` and `open()` creates the file before
`write()` fills it, so the helper handed `[]` to a caller asserting
`== b"1"`. It now takes the expected bytes and waits while the file
holds a STRICT PREFIX of them — the states a write in flight can be
observed in — returning anything else immediately so the caller's
`assert_eq!` stays the discriminating assertion rather than becoming a
timeout inside a helper that does not know what was expected.

All four callers pass their expectation. `wait_for_published_file`, one
function away in the same suite, gated the real-TUI smoke's
`assert_eq!(…, b"1")` on the identical predicate and is fixed with it:
leaving it would have let R4 recur under a different selector, which the
registry would then have had to judge a new incident.

R2 — the USR1 fixture waited on `ProcessEventKind::Started`, emitted at
SPAWN, not when `/bin/sh` has parsed `trap '' USR1`. SIGUSR1's default
disposition is terminate, so a signal inside that window kills the
child. The child now publishes a marker AFTER the trap and the test
waits for that marker's CONTENT (the same zero-byte trap applies to a
shell's `>` redirection). `exec` replaces the forked `sleep`, so the
group holds exactly one process and the ignored disposition survives by
POSIX rather than by the shell's fork-suppression optimization — an
unstated dependency the old fixture had, since these signals are
group-directed and a forked `sleep` is an untrapped group member.

Four witnesses, each verified by REVERTING the fix and observing the
failure rather than by reasoning about it:

- `wait_for_file_does_not_return_a_zero_byte_readiness_file` fails
  `left: []`, `right: [49]` — R4's two required fragments, verbatim;
- `wait_for_file_does_not_return_a_partial_write` fails on the torn read
  a length check alone would admit;
- `wait_for_file_returns_divergent_content_rather_than_timing_out` fails
  against an over-strict helper that waits for an exact match;
- `usr1_readiness_waits_for_the_trap_not_for_the_spawn` fails
  `left: Some("SIGUSR1")`, `right: Some("SIGTERM")` with the readiness
  wait removed. Its fixture sleeps before `trap` so the pre-trap window
  is deliberate rather than load-dependent, and it proves survival by
  the child's EXIT DISPOSITION rather than by an absence observed within
  a window.

R1 is NOT touched — referred to the async-runtime lane (Q#MCI3), because
widening its budget would make it pass and measure nothing more. R3 is
NOT touched and remains UNRESOLVED, owned by the process-signal /
reap-ledger lanes.

`docs/ci-red-signatures.md` moves R2 and R4 to a "Retired rows" section
with their dispositions and adds the rule the file needed and lacked: a
red matching a retired row is a RECURRENCE that puts the retirement in
question, never a known flake. `docs/active-work.md` carries this lane
from its first commit rather than after review asks for it.

Repetition sets, not single runs: the two `--lib` process tests 15/15,
the whole `vterm_stage2_acceptance` suite 15/15 at default parallelism.

fix(test): the GPU terminal suites measure geometry the flip changed
Stage 3 review round 2. `vterm_stage3_acceptance`'s three terminal
fixtures opened with no `display`, so the flip placed them in a 12-row
panel — and this suite measures RENDERED FRAMES and CHILD PTY GEOMETRY.
It was measuring the geometry the flip had changed underneath it.

I nearly recorded this as a flake, and the reasoning that stopped me is
worth keeping. Two CI runs on the same commit failed DIFFERENT suites:
the first `vterm_stage2`'s real-TUI smoke, the rerun `vterm_stage3`'s
a37 plus two GPU terminal tests. Different failures across runs is the
load-sensitivity signature, both suites are on the documented flake
surface, and the ledger says a red a37 is "ambiguous by construction".
Every indicator pointed at noise.

But the tests it kept landing on were GPU TERMINAL tests, and terminal
placement is exactly what this PR changed. Checking rather than
concluding: all three `terminal.open` fixtures omitted `display`. So the
flip did reach them. It did not BREAK them — they pass locally, and they
passed in one CI run each — it made them MARGINAL, by shrinking the
window whose rendered output they assert against. Marginal under
lavapipe on the heaviest job in the workflow reads exactly like a flake
until you ask which tests, and why those.

The distinction that matters: "my change made this fragile" is a
different finding from "this was always flaky", and only one of them is
mine to fix.

These take the explicit opt-out for the same reason `vterm_stage2`'s
smoke already did — their subject is rendering, geometry and input
round-trip over a full document window, not placement, which the panel
suites cover. The reason is stated at each fixture rather than once at
the top, because each asserts a different property of the geometry.

Verified: vterm_stage3 9/9 with a37 taking 4.33s rather than the 0.17s
that means it never ran; vterm_stage2 6/6; and the full crdt sweep at
3718 passed / 0 failed against a measured 3715/0 baseline, the +3 being
this PR's new pins.

review round 1: the crdt suite Stage 3 missed, and two stale explanations
P1 — compile_mode_crdt_acceptance was never revised. Its three
`compile.run` fixtures still omitted `display`, so the flip placed
output in the panel with `select = false`, the source buffer stayed
active, and `adopt_next_buffer` timed out waiting for a snapshot that
only arrives via the ACTIVE-BUFFER-FOLLOW path. Its subject is CRDT
convergence of a generated buffer, not placement, so it takes the
explicit opt-out — and the reason is recorded at `adopt_next_buffer`,
the helper that actually depends on it, rather than at each call site.

WHY MY OWN VERIFICATION MISSED IT, which matters more than the fix: the
Stage 3 census and every sweep I ran used `--features luajit` WITHOUT
`crdt`, so no crdt-gated suite was ever exercised. The census was
therefore blind to an entire configuration by construction, in exactly
the way #209 exists to prevent. The CI crdt job — added by that lane —
is what caught this, three days after it landed.

Baselined rather than assumed. A worktree at the branch base 21de0b2
sweeps 3715 passed / 0 failed under `luajit,crdt` with
PMACS_REQUIRE_GPU=1; the branch with this fix sweeps 3715 / 0. Identical.

An earlier branch sweep, taken before this fix, reported SEVENTY
failures across THIRTEEN suites. Twelve of those suites — m5_5,
gpu_invocation, gpu_initial_target, m10_11, vterm_stage3 and the rest —
are daemon, socket or GPU suites, and all of them recovered by fixing
three compile tests. The likeliest reading is that the failing
compile-crdt runs leaked daemon or PTY processes that poisoned every
subsequent socket-based suite; what is ESTABLISHED is narrower and
still useful: baseline green, branch green with the fix, and the
collateral confined to process-spawning suites. Count failures, not
causes — the same lesson this stage already learned once, at a
different layer.

Also of note: CI reported only 3 failures because `cargo test` halts
after a failing binary. The workflow does not pass `--no-fail-fast`, so
CI under-reports a multi-suite break exactly as my first census did.

P2 — builtin/runtime/compile.lua's recompile comment still said `_last`
stores only cmdline/cwd. This PR deliberately stores `display` too, so
an explicit opt-out survives replay. Corrected, with the
`display_omitted` arm's remaining purpose stated rather than implied.

P2 — the framing's §7 step 2 still called the resolver extraction
"provably behaviour-preserving", contradicting §1.6b's own record of the
intentional non-string normalization. It is DEFAULT-PRESERVING WITH ONE
INTENTIONAL NORMALIZATION, and now says so where a reader following the
branch plan will hit it.

Verified: fmt, diff-check, compile_mode_crdt 3/3, compile_mode 73/73,
and the full crdt sweep at 3715/0 against a measured baseline of 3715/0.

test(panel): pin that the OMITTED default degrades on a pre-panel frontend
Stage 3 step 5, criterion 5 — the one the framing named as most likely to
be quietly wrong.

`acc14` already proves capability fallback for an EXPLICIT `request.side`
at the core level, and it is not this case. Stage 3 resolves the default
into a PANEL REQUEST inside the adopter, so a pre-panel semantic frontend
now has to degrade a request the caller never wrote. Nothing in
`listview.open { name, rows }` says "panel", yet the request reaching the
core does — which is exactly why this is invisible from the adopter's
side and needs its own pin rather than an inference from acc14.

Asserts the three things that must survive the degradation: no side
window, no side parameters on the document window, and NO QUIT ACTION
left behind. That last one is the subtle half — a quit action stranded on
a document window would make a later `q` try to restore a presentation
that never happened.

Bite-verified rather than assumed: flipping the fixture's frontend to
`panel_capable = true` fails it on "a pre-panel frontend gets no side
window from the omitted default", so the test is measuring the
capability and not merely the absence of a panel it never asked for.

feat(panel): flip the adopter default — Arc 7's last step
Stage 3 steps 3 and 4. Omitting `display` now resolves to the PANEL for
listview, compile and terminal; dired keeps `"current"`, passed
explicitly to the shared resolver. Per-adopter `select` per Q#BP12:
listview true, compile false (passive output must not steal document
focus), terminal true.

The census predicted 37 failures across 5 suites and the flip produced
exactly that — same suites, same per-suite counts. The measurement was a
prediction, not an estimate, which is what the inverted step order was
for. Final sweep: 3449 passed / 0 failed against a 3447 baseline, the
+2 being new pins.

THE CENSUS COUNTED FAILURES, NOT CAUSES. Thirteen listview failures had
ONE root cause: a panel is derived-hidden while frame geometry is
unknown, and listview_acceptance never declared any — it never needed to
while listview defaulted to the current window. One helper took it from
13 to 2. The same applied to m4 and vterm_stage2. Geometry is
authoritative state and a grid frontend's real frame size IS its
declaration; the panel suites have always said so.

THREE DEFECTS THE FLIP EXPOSED, each fixed rather than tested around:

1. The OUTLINE panel's `on_visit` used `pmacs.window.switch_buffer` —
   the RAW switch, which replaces the buffer in the ACTIVE window. That
   was harmless while the outline opened into a document window. Once
   the panel became the default the active window WAS the outline panel,
   so RET clobbered the panel with the source and left nothing for `M-,`
   to return to. The references panel was migrated to `display_file`
   when the arc landed; the outline was missed because nothing exercised
   it from a panel until now. Q#BP11c names this exact corruption, and
   both the outline and compile tests now assert `M-,` FOCUSES the
   panel rather than cloning its buffer into the document — an
   assertion the previous one could not distinguish.

2. `pmacs.compile._last` stored only `{cmdline, cwd}`, so a recompile
   reached `start_run` with no `display` and took the new default. A
   user who ran `compile.run{display="current"}` would be moved into a
   panel the moment they pressed `g`. An opt-out that reverts on the
   next recompile is not an opt-out; `display` is stored and replayed,
   with nil kept as nil so an omitted value still resolves to the
   default rather than freezing at the first run's resolution.

3. `opts.display` on a nil `opts` — my own regression, introduced by
   fix 2 and caught by `journey_acceptance`, which is exactly what that
   ratchet is for.

COMPILE'S CHORDS ARE NOW PANEL-LOCAL, and that is a contract rather than
an accidental reachability loss. Every compile chord is bound
`scope = "buffer"`, so with `select = false` none dispatch from the
document — `C-c C-k` included. `acc34` pins it, and pins that
`M-x compile.kill` still reaches the running slot from anywhere via its
`or compile_slot()` fallback. A global chord is a command-surface
decision and belongs in its own framing.

TEST CLASSIFICATION WAS PER TEST, NOT PER SUITE. Two neighbouring
compile tests land on opposite sides: acc15 (RET-visits-error,
jump-back) asserts the NEW default, while acc16 (n/p within compile
output) genuinely needs the buffer selected and says so. compile's
suite-wide helper opts out because ITS subject is compile-BUFFER
behaviour; the placement-subject tests use a second helper that takes
the default. Every opt-out states why. Nothing was mass-added to make a
suite green.

s1_12's two concerns are split as directed: it keeps its Q#GB18
name-keyed-identity bite with explicit `display = "current"`, isolating
the buffer-level `p.prev` skip rule, while a new `s3_1` pins the
side-window presentation chain — C → B → A → delete, ending at the
document with the wrapper collapsed. The mechanisms are complementary:
presentation history chains in the side slot; `p.prev` prevents
raw-switch and capability-fallback loops.

Verified: fmt, diff-check, clippy with and without crdt, --lib 1896,
--lib --features crdt 2081, pmacs-protocol 19, m4 149, required GPU 221,
and the full serialized sweep at 3449/0.

refactor(panel): one shared rule for the adopter `display` vocabulary
Stage 3 step 2 (Q#S3-1). DEFAULT-PRESERVING WITH ONE INTENTIONAL
NORMALIZATION — not "behaviour-preserving", which would be too broad a
claim. Every adopter keeps its current default, and the full serialized
suite is 3447 passed / 0 failed with ZERO suites differing from the
pre-change baseline. But invalid-input behaviour DID move, deliberately,
and that is pinned rather than asserted in prose.

Before this, FOUR adopters validated the same three-value vocabulary in
four places: Rust for the terminal, and hand-written Lua copies in
listview.lua, compile.lua and dired.lua, each carrying its own copy of
the error string. `parse_adopter_placement` read like the shared parser
its doc comment implied but had exactly one caller. Four copies of one
rule is how the next adopter gets it subtly wrong, and the next adopter
is DAP.

`resolve_adopter_display(operation, raw, default)` now owns exactly
three things: the vocabulary, the error text, and the default policy.
Reachable from Lua as the internal seam `pmacs.window._resolve_display`.

THE DEFAULT IS A PARAMETER, NOT A CONSTANT, and that is load-bearing
rather than stylistic. listview/compile/terminal will resolve omission
to the panel in step 3; DIRED MUST NOT, because
`pmacs.path.set_directory_handler` calls it with `{ dest = dest }` and
no `display` key at all — a flipped default would open `pmacs .` in a
bottom panel. Passing the default in makes dired's exemption visible at
its call site instead of hidden in a divergent copy.

TERMINAL'S `window` MUTUAL-EXCLUSION STAYS IN ITS OWN WRAPPER. Only the
terminal accepts a `window` id and only it must reject `window` combined
with `display = "panel"`. A helper pretending the four parsers were
identical would be its own defect.

THE NORMALIZATION, DECIDED AND PINNED. Terminal read
`get::<Option<String>>("display")?`, so a non-string value raised mlua's
TYPE error before reaching any custom message, while the Lua copies
stringified it into their own. Nothing pinned either behaviour — every
existing assertion passes an unknown STRING, which takes the same path
under both designs and therefore could not have caught a regression
here. The custom error wins because it names the legal vocabulary; the
value is rendered by TYPE ALONE (`unknown display (integer)`) so the
message cannot imply a string was passed.

Pinned at the terminal entry point in acc19 — the one adopter whose
behaviour changed — asserting the shared error AND that nothing is
created. The type SPELLING is deliberately not pinned: Lua 5.4 says
`integer` where LuaJIT has no integer subtype, so asserting either
literal would pass on one CI flavor and fail on the other. Verified
46/46 under both.

COMPILE NEEDED AN EXPLICIT OMISSION CAPTURE, and finding that out is
what this step is for. The resolver collapses omission into its default,
but compile's recompile gate distinguishes them: it fires on OMISSION
only, never on an explicit `display = "current"`, which is the
documented opt-out and must reach the raw switch even when the previous
run was panel-placed. Resolving first and testing `== "current"`
afterwards would have silently merged the two and broken the opt-out
with every test still green. `display_omitted` is captured before the
resolver call and the gate keys on it.

fix(lint): make the crdt targets pass clippy for the first time
`cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --features crdt -- -D warnings`

`crdt`, so these lints have never been enforced, and any CI job that

  tests/vterm_stage3_acceptance.rs           redundant `continue`

--keep-going is what made this an inventory rather than a lower bound.
docs/active-work.md recorded seven findings at 74301d1 and correctly
warned they were "a lower bound, not an inventory" because clippy
abandons remaining targets once one fails. With --keep-going the set is
complete, and it differs from the ledger's in both directions: the
`unneeded mut` at src/daemon.rs:4965 is gone (fixed incidentally by
later work), a finding in bottom_panel_stage2b_gpu_acceptance.rs is new,
and every src/daemon.rs line number had moved. A stale lint inventory is
worse than none — it invites fixing lines that no longer exist.

The four too_many_lines findings are silenced with a reason rather than
refactored. Refactoring a test body to satisfy a lint that has never run
would be a behavioral change riding a CI-configuration lane, and the
codebase already has ~20 `#[allow(clippy::too_many_lines)]` sites, the
best of them carrying `reason =`. Each reason states why the scenario is
one test: the GPU acceptances exist specifically to prove a real
daemon, a real PTY and real wgpu fit together, which splitting would
hide.

The redundant `continue` needed care. Replacing it with `Err(_) => {}`
traded the lint for `single_match` — the match then destructured one
pattern. Rewritten as an edition-2024 let-chain, which drops both
without changing semantics: an unreadable message still falls through
to the next loop iteration.

Verified: clippy green with and without `crdt` (the second confirming
no regression to the enforced gate), fmt, diff-check, --lib --features
crdt 2081 passed, and the three touched suites green — vterm_stage3 at
9/9 in 4.34s rather than 0.17s, so a37 really ran rather than reporting
ok on a missing binary.

Levi Neuwirth 5cc1a83583 fix(help): forwarders must work programmatically, not only from M-x
CI caught this on all four test legs. The forwarder body called
`pmacs.command.invoke_interactive`, which raises when the alias is
reached through `pmacs.command.invoke` — and
`tests/config_registry_acceptance.rs` does exactly that, three times.

The acceptance pin passed throughout because it drives the M-x path,
which is the path the framing spent three review rounds getting right.
Being right about one entry point is not the same as covering the
command, and a rename touches every caller of the old name regardless
of how it is reached.

Plain `invoke` is also the correct semantics rather than merely the
working one: the interactive-command boundary is rotated once, by
whatever entry point the user actually used, for the name they actually
typed. Rotating again on the inner call would record a second boundary
for a command the user never invoked.

Adds `d8c`, which invokes both forwarders programmatically. Bitten by
restoring `invoke_interactive`: the new pin fails alongside the three
config-registry tests that found it.

Levi Neuwirth f11af434cd merge: integrate main @ 28f878b; adopt the isolation seam
The isolation lane (#206) landed with an adoption ratchet, and it
caught this branch's brand-new suite on the first run after the merge:

  these suites construct an editor through the ambient entry points,
  so they read the developer's real init.lua and write into their real
  data root: ["discovery_acceptance.rs (1 site(s))"]

That is the ratchet working as designed against code written by someone
who was not looking at the isolation lane while writing it — which is
the case it exists for.

`discovery_acceptance` is therefore MIGRATED, not allowlisted: it
includes `common/iso.rs` and constructs through
`EditorState::new_with_roots(&iso::roots())`. Allowlisting would have
put a fresh ambient site into the census the same day the census was
built.

Levi Neuwirth 4d4bb22035 Merge remote-tracking branch 'githubsucks/main' into discovery-stage1-commands 2026-07-31 20:10:02 -04:00
Levi Neuwirth 9ea522f3cc fix(isolation): the isolation suite must not itself be ambient
Review round 1: `isolated_construction_is_init_complete` asserted its
paired half — that the *ambient* constructor is unchanged — with an
ambient `EditorState::new()` in an ordinary parent test. That reads the
developer's real `init.lua` and materializes packages into their real
data root: the exposure this suite exists to remove, committed by the
suite itself.

The claim is worth keeping, so it moves rather than dies. It now lives in
the re-exec'd positive control, which runs only as a child under a
hostile-by-construction environment. That is the one place an ambient
constructor is safe, and so it is where every ambient claim this suite
makes belongs.

**The ratchet did not catch this, and that is the more important half.**
`ambient_isolation_acceptance.rs` was on the allowlist for its positive
control, and a bare file-level exemption licenses the named file to grow
new ambient sites forever — which is exactly what happened. So every
exemption now carries its **exact permitted site count**, and a file with
more sites than it was reviewed with fails even while allowlisted. A
count that drops fails too, so the allowlist stays a census rather than
drifting into a ceiling nobody rechecks.

The count immediately earned itself: it rejected the number written from
memory for `journey_acceptance` (47) and reported the real one (26 — 19
`new()` + 7 `open(`, after the scanner drops two assertion-message
mentions and the assembled `concat!` needle).

Verified in both directions: restoring the removed ambient site fails the
ratchet with `2 site(s), allowlist says 1`; and with the ambient half
gone, both init-complete pins still fail under the `if roots.is_ambient()`
mutation, so neither has become a test that passes for the wrong reason.

Levi Neuwirth 44bd2201e7 feat(help): the discovery command family — P4 Stage 1
Implements `docs/discovery-stage1-command-family-framing.md` (approved
at revision 6). `COHERENCE.md` §5 graded discoverability "substrate
without surface": the registries already carried descriptions, source
locations and reverse key lookup, and almost none of it was reachable.

Eleven commands under one `help.*` prefix, so typing `help` at M-x
surfaces the whole family. Nine are new; `editor.describe-command` and
`editor.describe-setting` are renamed in, with the old names retained
as forwarders so nothing documented breaks.

No Rust. Every command renders data `pmacs.describe.*`,
`pmacs.keymap.list()`, `pmacs.command.list()` and `pmacs.config.list()`
already return, and `describe-setting`'s completion source is a Lua
function via `CompletionSource::Custom`, which needed no binding work
either — correcting a comment in `default.lua` that claimed `source`
was a fixed Rust-side vocabulary.

`apropos` matches by substring, not fuzzy: `fuzzy_score` is
subsequence-based and descriptions are long sentences, so fuzzy would
match nearly every command.

Two disciplines the file keeps. Every command renders through the
public `pmacs.editor._show_help`, which buys one owner for the shared
`*help*` policy — reuse-by-name, wholesale replacement, `q`, and the
foreign-buffer hazard. It does NOT buy a one-site migration to
`src/help.rs`, which has no renderer for settings, lists or apropos; so
rendering is a named per-subject function, and the future Rust work is
enumerated per subject rather than discovered per call site.

The seam-counting pin earned its place immediately: the two renamed
commands were still calling the file-local `show_help_text`, so the
funnel was fiction for exactly the two commands that predate it. They
now call the public seam, with a comment saying why the local is not
used from the same file.

Moves `help` out of `welcome.lua` into the new `runtime/help.lua`,
which owns the family and loads after it so the index can read
`pmacs.welcome.entries`.

Levi Neuwirth fb14dc9ec3 test(isolation): migrate the corpus off the ambient roots
The mechanical half, riding on the census in the previous commit.

* 342 in-process construction sites in 65 files now take
  `new_with_roots` / `open_with_roots` with `iso::roots()`. The isolated
  base is a pure function of `CARGO_TARGET_TMPDIR` — no counter, no
  `OnceLock` — so two copies of the module in one binary agree instead of
  racing, and the tree lives somewhere `cargo clean` owns rather than
  leaking into `/tmp` once per run. It is shared deliberately:
  materialization is content-gated and idempotent, so a per-test
  directory would repeat it ~330 times per run for a byte-identical
  result.

* `journey_acceptance` keeps the ambient `EditorState::open`, because
  proving the production entry point has a caller is the whole of what
  that ratchet is for. Rev 2's "isolated by the environment its binary is
  launched with" was not a mechanism — cargo launches each test binary
  with the caller's environment, and a binary cannot re-point its own
  roots before its tests run. Each test is now a thin parent that
  re-execs this binary for its own name with controlled roots, and the
  child runs the body against production's call. Two pins guard it: the
  child asserts all four roots resolve inside the controlled base, and
  the suite asserts against its own source that it has not quietly taken
  the seam. The parent also asserts the child ran `1 passed` — a stale
  `--exact` filter would otherwise hollow the whole thing out silently.

* The shared spawners take all five storage variables.
  `spawn_daemon_process_with_env` set `HOME` and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` only;
  `HOME` is a FALLBACK, so it isolates a root only while the matching
  `XDG_*` is unset — the harness's apparent adequacy was a property of
  one developer's environment. The PTY spawner backfills whichever of the
  five its caller did not pin. The 10 direct `Command::new` daemon and
  attach spawns get the same treatment.

Three suites had `mod common;` behind `#[cfg(feature = "crdt")]`;
`common::iso` is needed in every build, so those are ungated. Files that
already pull in `common` reach `iso` through a `use` rather than a second
`#[path]` declaration — loading one file as two modules is
`clippy::duplicate_mod`.

Levi Neuwirth fcaf0b36fa test(isolation): census, hostile-environment proof, adoption ratchet
The census first, because it decides how large the mechanical edit is
(framing §7). Every occurrence was listed with its enclosing context and
read; a grep for the bare name over-counts, which is how revision 1
reported 18 by grepping `Editor::new` — a pattern that does not match the
real constructor.

  in-process   342 calls in 66 of 97 files
               (330 of 334 `EditorState::new()` occurrences; 4 are prose)
               (12 of 14 `EditorState::open(` occurrences; 2 are strings)
  spawned      14 real `pmacs` spawns in 8 files
               (of 36 `CARGO_BIN_EXE_pmacs` hits, 18 are the fake-LSP and
                fake-MCP siblings and 4 are path derivations for
                `pmacs-gpu`, not spawns)
  mixed        5 files are both, so sites — not files — are the unit

The full census, with per-site attribution, is the module doc of
`tests/ambient_isolation_acceptance.rs`.

Four things it pins:

* Isolated construction still finishes initialization, asserted twice —
  the flag, and the behaviour it gates (`pmacs.attach` must refuse).
  Falsified by wrapping the config block in `if roots.is_ambient()`;
  `m8_2_acceptance` does NOT catch that, because reopening an already-open
  init phase is a no-op.
* The writes land in the redirected data root — content produced, not an
  invariant preserved. A "the real root did not change" check would pass
  vacuously wherever it already holds identical bytes, since
  `write_if_changed` is content-gated.
* Bet 3, in two children with opposite jobs. The positive control proves
  the hostile environment IS hostile (an ambient editor loads its
  `init.lua` and writes its data root); without it the isolation half
  asserts nothing. The isolated child then stays green under the same
  environment and leaves its hostile root byte-identical.
* A durable adoption ratchet, not a one-time census: a source scan that
  fails when a new ambient constructor appears outside a named allowlist,
  plus a check that no allowlist entry has gone dead. Its scanner strips
  comments, strings and raw strings, and that stripping has its own pin —
  the corpus contains all three shapes, and a grep-shaped answer already
  cost this lane a review round.

Levi Neuwirth 94036774a8 fix(welcome): notify the core after writing scratch; unstale the ledger
Review round 1 on #205, two findings, both accepted.

The greeting was written straight into the registry without calling
`notify_buffer_edit`. The window's `TextView` had been indexed while
`*scratch*` was empty, and newlines are zero-width to a painter working
from a stale line index — so the first TUI frame collapsed the whole
three-line greeting onto row 0. Every buffer-text assertion passed
because the buffer content was correct; only the rendering was wrong.
The edit is now captured, the registry borrow released, and the core
notified.

The pin that would have caught it paints a real frame and asserts the
second line occupies its own row AND that row 0 does not contain it —
both directions, because a one-direction check passes when everything
collapses upward. Bitten by dropping the notify call: row 1 comes back
empty with row 0 holding the lot, and it is the only pin that fails.

Second: the project docs still described the arc as it was two PRs ago.
`COHERENCE.md` §20 called 1b-2 in flight and the welcome buffer
unstarted; its arc list said 1b-3 remained; and the ledger's journey
lane header still read "1b-2 PR OPEN" while the 1b-3 block carried a
mangled "Framing only; no code" line left by an earlier edit. All now
describe the PR-head state per §25.

Levi Neuwirth 35cc9ff0c5 merge: integrate main @ 5376af1; move the §18 and scorecard grades
The journey suite conflicted additively — step 4 from this lane, step 6
from #204 — and both are kept: 44 pins now cover steps 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
and 9.

Per §25 the audited claims this stage falsifies are updated on the
landing PR rather than deferred: the scorecard's row 18 and §18's
ground truth both read "Missing" / "missing entirely", and a welcome
buffer plus a reachable cheat sheet makes both false. They move to
Partial. §2's step-4 row stays Partial, because `C-h` still deletes a
word and there is no tutorial.

§18's ground truth now records WHY `C-h` stays as it is, so the
help-prefix question reaches the discovery arc as a stated trade rather
than an oversight: non-kitty terminals cannot disambiguate
Ctrl+Backspace from Ctrl+H, so rebinding it would break Ctrl+Backspace
on every legacy terminal.

Levi Neuwirth df500b115b feat(welcome): greet an unconfigured launch — journey step 4
Implements `docs/journey-stage1b3-welcome-framing.md` (approved at
revision 4, after three review rounds). The last of the 1b split.

`COHERENCE.md` §18 graded onboarding "missing entirely": no welcome, no
cheat sheet reachable from inside the editor, and `M-x` — the only door
in — discoverable only by already knowing about it. A fresh `pmacs` now
greets an untouched `*scratch*` with three lines naming `M-x` and four
real bindings, and `M-x help` renders a cheat sheet.

The startup seam is the substance. No constructor is the right hook:
`EditorState::open` calls `new` before resolving its target, the daemon
constructs one too, `init.lua` runs inside `new`, and desktop restore
happens later still. So `run()`'s terminal-free prefix is extracted into
`prepare_startup`, which `run` delegates to, and the greeting happens
there — after config, after attach dispatch resolves to local, and
after desktop restore. Extracting it is also what makes the wiring
testable: with the greeting called by hand from tests instead, deleting
the production call would leave every assertion green while shipping no
welcome.

Lua owns what is said, Rust owns when and where. `pmacs.welcome.entries`
is a structured list that both renders the text and drives the binding
checks — scraping the rendered prose would be ambiguous, since `C-c c`
is two chords and nothing in the text marks the boundary.

The greeting is deliberately NOT written through
`set_generated_contents`: that would lift read-only, discard history and
mark the buffer generated, all wrong for the buffer journey step 5
requires the user to type into immediately. It is left unmodified so it
does not look like unsaved work.

`M-x help` renders through `editor.describe-command`'s existing `*help*`
mechanism via a new `pmacs.editor._show_help` seam, rather than growing
a second help surface.

Levi Neuwirth bc3a465c9e merge: integrate main @ 1f290d5; discharge #203's doc-flip obligation
Stage 1b-1 landed as #203, so the four places it deliberately left
saying "in flight" are flipped here rather than in a standalone docs
PR: this branch already touches all three files, and a separate PR
would re-conflict on every merge.

- `COHERENCE.md` §2's step-9 row: Partial -> **Works**.
- §2's keybinding-inversion paragraph: all three examples answered. The
  quote itself is deliberately unchanged — it names a bias, and three
  fixes do not retire a bias.
- §20 Priority 1 and the arc list: 1b-1 landed, 1b-2 in flight, 1b-3
  remaining.
- `docs/agent-handoff.md` §1: IMPLEMENTED -> LANDED.

Conflicts were additive on both sides and are resolved keeping both:
the journey suite carries step 9 and step 6 (34 pins), and §24 keeps
both drift entries — the `ProjectKind::Cargo` naming error and §1.2's
wrong frequency note.

The two journey lanes are unified into one arc lane rather than one
being deleted. Rule 4 removes a lane when its ARC is done, and the
journey arc is not: 1b-2 is in flight and 1b-3 is unframed. Stage 1a
and 1b-1 are summarized there with their facts in the handoff, which is
rule 4's precondition satisfied rather than deferred.

Levi Neuwirth 2d1812c431 feat(lsp): say when the language server did not start — journey step 6
Implements `docs/journey-stage1b2-lsp-guidance-framing.md` (approved at
revision 4, after three review rounds). Lua, tests and docs; no Rust
change and no protocol change.

`COHERENCE.md` §1.2's canonical silence: a preconfigured server that is
not installed failed with no status message, no record and no modeline
marker, while tree-sitter highlighting kept working and masked it. Now
the status line names the command, the language and the errno; the
modeline reads `LSP:!` instead of nothing; and `M-x lsp.status` renders
a durable `*lsp*` panel.

Half of this was already built. `status_buffer_text()` and
`last_error()` have existed since M4.8, exposed to Lua and tested, with
no production caller and no buffer to render into — several doc
comments already referred to "the `*lsp*` buffer" as though it existed.
The reporting shape was likewise already adopted twice inside
`lsp.lua`; the canonical case was silent because nobody had converted
it.

Three tables with three lifetimes, because one cannot do the job:
`reported` is never cleared and includes the command, so repointing at
another missing executable reports again; `failures` is cleared by a
successful spawn so the panel goes quiet on recovery; and a
buffer-keyed projection feeds the modeline, because that provider runs
for every window on every paint and deriving an affinity key inside it
would invoke root resolvers during painting.

The memo is on the report, not the failure: the spawn is still
attempted on every file open, so installing the binary mid-session
recovers with nothing to invalidate.

Adds `tests/lsp_spawn_guidance_acceptance.rs` (16 pins) and a step-6
row to the journey ratchet.

Levi Neuwirth 0b1716b5cd fix(journey): canonicalize the compile-directory expectation; unflip the grades
Review round 1 on #203, two blocking findings, both accepted.

The compile-directory assertions used the suite's lexical `canon()`,
but `pmacs.project.detect` canonicalizes before walking
(`canonicalize_or_passthrough`, `src/project.rs:509-511`), so the
compile cwd is filesystem-canonical. On macOS `/var` is a symlink to
`/private/var` and the two spellings disagree — both macOS legs failed
while Ubuntu, where `/tmp` is not a symlink, stayed green.

Fixed with a `detected_root()` expectation, and pinned by a fixture
that launches through an explicit **symlink** so lexical and canonical
paths disagree on every platform. That matters more than the fix: the
original bite ran only on Linux, where nothing could make the two
differ, so no amount of local mutation testing would have caught this.
The new pin is the only one that goes red when the lexical expectation
is restored.

Second: `COHERENCE.md` §2's step-9 row was flipped to **Works** and the
handoff said Stage 1b-1 was **LANDED**, while this PR is open. §25 is
explicit that grades change only with landed evidence, never
aspirationally. Both now describe the real state — the row stays
Partial and names #203 as the open PR that closes it, §20 and the arc
list say "in flight", and the handoff says IMPLEMENTED with the PR
number.

The flip is not dropped, it is owned: the active-work lane records the
four places to change on merge, because an unowned doc flip is exactly
how this ledger's drift starts.

Levi Neuwirth 6bee82c1a5 feat(compile): make building discoverable — journey step 9
Implements `docs/journey-stage1b1-compile-defaults-framing.md`
(approved at revision 2). Lua, tests and docs; no Rust change and no
protocol change.

`C-c c` now runs `compile.run`, and the first prompt is prefilled from
the detected project kind through `pmacs.compile.defaults` — seeded
`rust = "cargo build"` and extensible from `init.lua`. `_last` still
wins, so a session that has compiled keeps its own command.

The prompt CAPTURES its directory rather than re-resolving it. Sharing
one resolver between the prompt and the run is necessary and not
sufficient: `pmacs.minibuffer.read` is asynchronous and nothing freezes
the active window while a prompt is open, so two calls to the same
resolver at two different moments are still two different answers — the
user could be offered `cargo build` for A and handed a run in B by
clicking away mid-prompt. This is Journey Stage 1a's `commit_to`
discipline on a smaller seam.

`pmacs.compile.defaults` is public and assignable, so the lookup is
guarded: a throwing `__index`, a non-string entry and a non-table
replacement all degrade to the pre-stage empty prompt and never
prevent compiling.

Only `rust` ships seeded. Rust has one answer; npm/yarn/pnpm,
make/cmake, and `go build` versus `go test` do not, and a wrong prefill
costs more than an empty one.

Adds eight step-9 rows to the journey ratchet and five module pins to
the compile suite. Corrects `COHERENCE.md`, which named a
`ProjectKind::Cargo` that does not exist — the variant is `Rust`, line
77 is its doc comment, and Lua only ever sees the tag string "rust".

`docs/active-work.md` was the only conflicting file, in the same shape
as #191's: `main` inserted the generated-buffer Stage 1 lane immediately
above the bottom-panel header this branch had rewritten. The resolution
keeps both.

Each side's newer text wins where that side owns the fact: `main` carries
the corrected #188 status (MERGED/APPROVED, replacing "OPEN, PROPOSED —
do not implement"), and this branch carries the bottom-panel lane's 2B-3
state and the newer snapshot date, replacing main's "2B-2 MERGED; 2B-3 IS
NEXT" and its 2B-2 boundary paragraphs.

Verified: no conflict markers; every line absent from either parent is a
deliberate supersession by the other, enumerated and checked one by one

Levi Neuwirth 80985ed6dc test(protocol): pin the version-mismatch divergence, not the old constant
`version_mismatch_clean_disconnect` asserted that the `VersionMismatch`
`server` field equals `ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION`. Until this stage
that constant and `PROTOCOL_VERSION` were both 20, so the assertion could
not distinguish them and happened to pin the wrong one. Stage 2B-3 splits
them — the advertised value is a compatibility floor, `PROTOCOL_VERSION`
is the ceiling a frontend may counter-offer up to — and the daemon
correctly reports the ceiling, so the stale assertion failed on all four
CI Test legs.

The production behaviour is right and is unchanged here. Only the test
moves, and it now pins the divergence in both directions: the `Hello`
assertion above holds the advertised floor, a new `assert_ne!` holds the
fact that the reported version is deliberately not that floor.

That second assertion is why this is not a one-character edit. Stage
2B-3's own pin for this rule, `an_unsupported_offer_is_refused_by_name`,
is `#[cfg(feature = "crdt")]` and CI never enables `crdt` — so it is dark,
and `m5_5_acceptance` is the only live guard CI runs on this behaviour.

Bite: reverting `src/daemon.rs:757` to `ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION`
fails the test with `left: 20, right: 21` and the named message; restored,
it passes. Verified against the whole suite under an isolated
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` — 3303 tests, 100 binaries, zero failures.

Levi Neuwirth 12e2cff466 merge: integrate main @ c14f2de (PRs #197, #196) into the Stage 1 lane
`docs/active-work.md` was the only conflicting file. #196 added the dired
Stage 2a lane at the position this branch had used to relabel the #188
framing lane header; the resolution keeps both, changing neither side's
wording.

`src/editor_core.rs` auto-merged. Both lanes touch it, so a clean
textual merge is not evidence of a clean semantic one — the gate suite
is re-run in full on the merged tree rather than inherited from the
pre-merge head.

Resolution verified for line loss in both directions: the resolved file
differs from `main` only by this branch's own authored edits, and
differs from this branch only by additions taken from `main`.

Levi Neuwirth 5fe7eb30b6 fix(bottom-panel): finish the panel port, not one omission at a time
Review round 1: six findings, four sharing one shape — the panel layer was a
partial port of the document/terminal layer, and the tests asserted the
declaration side only, so each omission was invisible. Audited as a port
rather than patched as a list.

GEOMETRY AGREEMENT (P1). Three grids had drifted apart. The declaration
subtracted `TEXT_LEFT` from its width against the parent framing's explicit
contract ("`total.cols` describes the full-width panel grid beginning at
x=0; document `TEXT_LEFT`/gutter padding is unrelated"), while painting and
hit-testing used the document-dependent `mono_advance` and the declaration
used the stable probe. So daemon columns could overflow the surface and a
click could resolve to a different cell than the one painted — and the new
test separated the two advances and then asserted only the declaration, so
it saw none of it.

The fix is structural, not three edits: the advance is cached BEHIND the
declaration (`PanelBand::declared_advance`) and painting and hit-testing read
it. They cannot disagree, because there is one value. The band's rect is now
x = 0 across the full surface width, and the fractional right-edge remainder
is band background that maps to no cell — which is what the framing says and
what `hit_test_cell`'s column bound already enforced.

GESTURES (P1). Only `Move` was sent. Left press never armed, so `Drag(Left)`
was never emitted and panel selection could not work; releases outside the
band were dropped, leaving the daemon holding a button down; right-click and
wheel never consulted the band at all and were applied to the document
underneath.

The root cause is that four handlers each decided for themselves whether the
band owned a pixel, and three did not ask. There is now ONE authority —
`PointerSurface` / `classify_pointer_surface` — and all four route through
it, so a future handler cannot quietly forget the band. `PanelBackground` is
its own arm: the remainder is the band's pixel even though it emits no
`PanelPointer`, so it must not fall through either.

PASSIVE CARET (P1). The producer ships `cursor` for a passive panel too — it
is the window's real point and the daemon does not suppress it — so painting
it unconditionally put a second insertion caret on screen. Gated on
`frame.focused`, the presentation bit Q#BP14b reserves for exactly this.

UNDERLINES (P2). `build_grid` planned them and nobody consumed them. Straight
forms now ride the quad batch and curly rides the squiggle pipeline, the same
split the terminal path makes for the same reason.

VERSION MISMATCH (P2). The daemon reported the advertised baseline as the
server version while its own `PROTOCOL_VERSION` is 21, contradicting the wire
field's own documentation and inverting the upgrade advice. The field doc now
states what each side can know, and the acceptance is re-pinned — it had been
holding the wrong value in place.

Two gaps the audit found beyond the six, same shape:
  * the headless probe never armed the panel wire at all, so no probe could
    ever exercise a band;
  * a disconnect left the band on screen — the frozen, live-looking surface
    the terminal arm already refuses.

Levi Neuwirth a131c880e2 test(stage2a): make acceptance 53's attribution assertion bite
Bite-verifying the round-1 pins caught one of them passing with the bug
restored. `contains("only.txt")` was satisfied by the status message's
own `deleted only.txt:` prefix — the deleted path's basename — so
stripping the `buffer "…"` attribution changed nothing the assertion
could see.

Both halves now assert the buffer's OWN name, which for a path-backed
buffer is the full path and which only the attribution can produce.
Dropping either name — the refusal reason's or the kept-modified list's
— now fails.

Levi Neuwirth 44135fcd73 fix(stage2a): close review round 1 — four unreported failures
All four findings were the same shape: a failure that left state wrong
and told nobody.

**Delete refusals reach the user.** `reconcile_delete_and_fire` returned
`kept_modified` and `refused` and both production callers discarded
them, so a last-buffer refusal or the asynchronous modified-buffer race
left the file gone and the buffer still bound to it — and the next
`C-x C-s` recreates the deleted file. Reporting now happens inside the
shared seam, not at its call sites, for the same reason the
reconciliation does: a caller that has to remember to report is a caller
that will forget. The message names the buffers (capped, with a count
for the rest) and states the consequence, and it is written to
`EditorCore::status`, not `pmacs.error` — that channel is defined only
by a test stub, so a report there would be the same silence.
`reconcile_delete` now prefixes `kill_buffer`'s reason with the buffer
name, because "cannot kill the last remaining buffer" does not say which
buffer is now bound to a deleted path.

**The LSP subscribers stop swallowing their own failures.** Ignored
`pcall`s around `did_close`, `forget_uri`, `did_open` and overlay
re-rooting made the callback return successfully, so the
`all-must-succeed` logger had nothing to log — concretely, a stale server
made `forget_uri` raise while the callback carried on with the old
stores, routes and `documents` entry all live. A shared failure sink
attributes each step, reports on both channels, and raises **after** the
loop, so one unreachable server cannot leave every other attachment
unreconciled.

**`forget_uri` abandons requests through the established path.** It
purged `pending_routes` and `pending_external` but not the same ids
`send_request` put in `LspClient.pending`, and recorded nothing in
`cancelled_rids`. The per-rid work is extracted from
`drain_cancelled_externals` as `abandon_request` and reused, rather than
a second incomplete copy: route, client pending, cancelled record and
`$/cancelRequest` now happen together.

**Acceptance 35 is pinned.** With a plain delete the forbidden fallback
was unobservable — `find_or_open` raises out of `load_file` and the
`pcall` swallows it — so both assertions passed with the fallback
present. The plan now deletes the origin's file and recreates it, which
gives the fallback something to open and makes "restores nothing"
falsifiable. The corrected G1 explanation also reaches the production
comments, which still repeated the false `resolve_target_buffer::NotFound`
story.

New pins: acceptance 53 and 53b assert the status channel; a stale-server
row asserts attribution on both channels *and* that the healthy
attachment still reconciles; an `lsp.rs` unit test asserts the client-side
abandonment with an unrelated request as its control.

Levi Neuwirth e00cdd7ca6 fix(bottom-panel): satisfy the strict clippy gate in both configurations
Three float comparisons became explicit epsilon checks, one const-valued
assertion moved into a const block, and the crdt-only half of the new
acceptance suite is now gated import-by-import.

That last one is the interesting part: the negotiation-rule tests are pure
and run in BOTH configurations, while everything needing a real daemon
needs the crdt feature — a semantic session is necessarily a text replica,
so a non-CRDT build cannot host one at all. Splitting the imports along
that line is what keeps the default clippy configuration clean while
leaving the version-ladder assertions where CI can actually reach them.

Levi Neuwirth 8ee08d93e5 docs(bottom-panel): record Stage 2B-3 and close Stage 2
Handoff section 1 gains the 2B-3 bullet and the protocol anchor moves to
v21 with the rule that matters stated once: advertise the baseline,
negotiate up from the frontend's AttachRequest, and reserve moving the
advertised version for a change that cannot be expressed additively at
all. 2B-1's forward-looking constraint is marked discharged rather than
deleted, because its acceptance still passes unchanged and that is the
evidence.

COHERENCE section 14 grades the bottom/side panel primitive as complete on
BOTH frontends rather than 'Stage 2 pending its own framing', section 20
P5 follows it, and the section-19 protocol bullet records that the v21
family is live in production without an incompatible handshake change.

The active-work lane is rewritten to the shipped slice, including the
rejected activation alternatives and why the server-first shape forces
each one out, and the one-way compatibility window it leaves open.

The 2B-2 acceptance suite's header said production keeps panel_capable
false for every semantic session. That is no longer true, and its
assertions did not change — which is the point, so the header now says so
rather than being quietly left stale.

Levi Neuwirth 71cc31bfbb test(bottom-panel): close three vacuous assertions the bites exposed
23 falsifying mutations, each executed. Three of the first-pass assertions
were VACUOUS and the mutation runs are what found them:

  * The contrast assertion compared status_band_top before and after
    installing a panel — a FIXED POINT. The blanket rewrite the framing
    exists to prevent (subtract the band from the status boundary too)
    moved both readings together and passed. It is now anchored to an
    independent formula: the physical window bottom minus the band height.

  * The criterion-46 pixel test only checked that no pixel moved above the
    band and none below it. Installing a panel reshapes the document to the
    smaller height, and THAT produced the whole diff — so the test passed
    with the band painting nothing at all. It now counts differing pixels
    in the divider row and the band's cell rows directly: content produced,
    not an invariant preserved.

  * A2B-3's fixture compared two ASCII documents, which in a monospace
    family have identical glyph advances — so it could not tell the stable
    probe from the document-glyph fallback. It now separates the two
    derivations explicitly and asserts they produce different column counts
    in the fixture, so the claim about which one the declaration uses is
    discriminating.

And one about the CODE, not the tests: 'a v20 semantic session receives no
panel frame' is defence in depth, not the placement gate. The producer's
peer flag and the write-loop filter both suppress PanelFrame below the
panel version independently of panel_capable, so that claim passed with
the capability gate removed entirely. The load-bearing claim is placement:
the adopter's buffer must land in the pre-panel session's own DOCUMENT
window, because a side window it cannot render is simply invisible.

Levi Neuwirth f6af3f7335 test(m4): re-pin two rows whose parked behaviour Stage 2a discharges
`rd9` and `rd14` pinned #190's deliberate restraint on the
`apply_resource_op` delete arm: descendants stay orphaned, and only the
first of two duplicate path-bound buffers is reconciled. Both doc
comments gave the same reason — widening would have routed N buffers
through `remove_buffer_and_fire`, which is phase 2 without phase 1, so a
tree delete would have left up to N windows on removed ids.

`EditorCore::reconcile_delete` composes both phases, so that constraint
is discharged and the old assertions are no longer merely obsolete: an
orphaned buffer whose next `C-x C-s` recreates a file the user deleted
is the defect. Each row now asserts the new contract in BOTH directions
— the buffer is reconciled away, AND no window holds a removed id — so
neither an exact-path/first-match regression nor a widening that skips
phase 1 can pass. Each direction is bite-verified.

Levi Neuwirth 57be2bacd1 test(bottom-panel): acceptance for the band, the activation, and the flip
Placed by what each assertion needs: the band's pixel geometry, the epoch
latch, the probe-derived columns, and the three-boundary contrast
assertion live in pmacs-gpu's own tests because they need a real State and
a real surface; the handshake, the negotiation, and the capability flip
live in bottom_panel_stage2b_gpu_acceptance because they need a real
daemon.

Every acceptance runs both directions in one fixture. The activation test
uses ONE daemon for all three halves — a shipped v20 client reaching its
initial grid, a v21 counter-offer receiving a Present band, and a v20
semantic session that is never sent a panel frame and keeps a live
document window. Two daemons could each pass their own half while the same
build was incapable of serving both, which is the only property that
matters.

Two real defects the new tests caught in my own implementation:

  * edge_scroll_direction has no upper bound, so moving its boundary was
    necessary but not sufficient — a pixel inside the band still read as
    'further down the document' and armed the document's auto-scroll. That
    is the exact named symptom of leaving that consumer on the old bottom.
    The falsification keeps both answers: the probe pixel is inside the
    unmoved boundary's own edge strip, so the two genuinely differ, and a
    third assertion proves the feature is not simply switched off.

  * apply_panel_payload ignored the exhaustion latch, so a latched session
    kept storing frames and reporting 'changed'. That left presented() as
    the only thing between a disowned declaration and a painted band, and
    spent a reshape on every arriving frame for the rest of the session.

Levi Neuwirth edfb52f29c test(stage2a): make three bites bite, and correct one framing claim
Running the bites found three that did not falsify anything.

Item 28's rename row cannot pin the walk's containment rule:
`reconcile_rename` calls `Path::strip_prefix` to rebuild a descendant's
tail, and that is component-aware too, so a string-prefix walk is
silently corrected a second time. Deletion has no such second guard —
the walk's verdict IS the kill list — so the row moves there, and a
string prefix now provably destroys a buffer on `foobar.txt` when
`foo/` is deleted.

Item 30's composition-order assertion was a tautology: the LSP attach
leaves `diagnostic` LAST in the stack, and moving the last element to
the end is a no-op, so a remove-and-re-push was indistinguishable from
an in-place mutation. The row now pushes one more overlay after it and
asserts that precondition explicitly.

Item 34 needed both a restructure and a correction. §5's G1 says a
stale captured path "materializes a phantom" via
`resolve_target_buffer`'s `NotFound` arm.
It does not: `pmacs.buffer.find_or_open` calls `file_io::load_file`
directly and maps the error, so a missing path RAISES, and the
`NotFound` arm belongs to `resolve_target_buffer`, which serves
`pmacs.window.display_file` and the startup target rather than this
binding. The real defect is smaller and still real — the `pcall`
swallows the raise and the user is stranded wherever the last applied
op left them — so the plan now edits another file first, which is what
makes the restore observable at all. The correction is recorded at the
test.

Levi Neuwirth 3c66370b8c test(stage2a): the reconciliation acceptance suite
`tests/resource_reconciliation_acceptance.rs`, 23 rows, no dired
content — items 23–37 and 50–55 driven through the real entry points:
`pmacs.fs.rename` / `pmacs.fs.remove` fire-and-forget for the drain
harvest, `pmacs.buffer.apply_resource_op` for the synchronous arm, and
the fake server's `workspace/applyEdit` for the applier.

The rows that took design rather than transcription:

Item 27 opens two descendants AND two buffers on one exact path, since
one child would not defeat a first-match lookup. Item 29 tests name
provenance in both directions, including a name explicitly set to a
string that normalizes to the file's own path — the case a
path-equivalence heuristic gets wrong. Item 30 paints a real frame and
counts diagnostic underlines per window rect, because
`DiagnosticView.uri` is private and a store assertion would prove
nothing about re-rooting; it also pins each overlay's index in the
composition order, which is what a remove-and-re-push breaks. Item 53b
states its three assertions individually, since a compound check can
pass on two of the three.

Levi Neuwirth 431d844322 feat(bottom-panel): split the GPU document bottom into three boundaries
Bottom-panel Stage 2B-3, part 2 of 3: the pixel substrate for the band.

`text_area_bottom` was three boundaries wearing one name — its own doc
comment called it "the single source for every bottom-of-text
computation" — and once a band can be installed they must diverge:

  status_band_top          = max(0, height - status_band_height)
  geometry_capacity_bottom = max(0, status_band_top - divider_height)
  document_text_bottom     = max(0, status_band_top - installed_band)

The census is 29 matches: 20 production call sites, 1 definition, 8 test
sites. All 20 were read in their enclosing function and classified
individually — 8 status-owned, 12 document-owned. A blanket rewrite that
subtracted the band from all of them would move the status chrome with
the document and pass an "everything moved" assertion, which is why the
classification is per site and the criterion asserts both directions.

The three easiest to get wrong keep their named symptoms: document
completion placement is document-owned (status-owned would overlap the
band), minibuffer candidate clipping is status-owned (the minibuffer is
global bufferless chrome anchored to the band, and clipping it at the
document boundary would cut it off), and edge scrolling is document-owned
(left on the old bottom it would auto-scroll from inside the panel).

`geometry_capacity_bottom` reserves the divider even while the panel is
absent. That asymmetry is what breaks the first-open cycle: the daemon
sizes a panel from the capacity it was told about, so a capacity that
ignored the divider would grant a first panel that does not fit once the
divider appears beside it. The document loses no pixels until a `Present`
frame is really on screen.

`PanelBandInset` is a newtype, not an `f32`, because three boundaries here
take a pixel height and only one takes this one.

Alongside it, the band's own machinery: `PanelBand` with ONE derivation of
"is a panel on screen" (`presented()` — retained valid frame, matching
geometry epoch, latch clear), the frontend-owned epoch state machine with
its fail-closed exhaustion latch, the `Absent`-is-authoritative receipt
path, `panel_cell_capacity` (no per-axis cap — a panel may legitimately be
wider than a PTY — plus the daemon's virtual status row), the stable
normal-face probe for column count, and the divider strip whose paint rect
IS its hit rect.

`TerminalPaintPlan::build_grid` factors the shared cell planner so a panel
and a terminal cannot disagree about a wide-continuation pair; terminal
selection spans stay outside it rather than being faked as empty inside.

`PANEL_MIN_VERSION` moves into `pmacs-protocol` so the GPU frontend aliases
one definition instead of restating 21.

Levi Neuwirth d03845e826 feat(bottom-panel): activate protocol v21 by frontend counter-offer
Bottom-panel Stage 2B-3, part 1 of 3: the compatibility-preserving v21
activation mechanism and the negotiated `panel_capable` flip.

2B-1 reserved the v21 wire and 2B-2 built the daemon projection behind
it, both dark, because the handshake is server-first: the daemon writes
`Hello` before the frontend has said anything, and a frontend rejects a
`protocol_version` outside its supported range *before* it can send
`AttachRequest`. Advertising 21 there is therefore an incompatible act on
its own, independent of whether one new message is ever exchanged.

So the advertised version does not move. `ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION`
becomes a permanent compatibility BASELINE, and the session's real
version is settled one message later, by the frontend:

  1. the daemon advertises the baseline (20, unchanged);
  2. the frontend answers `requested_protocol_version(baseline)` — its
     own `PROTOCOL_VERSION` when the baseline is the current one, and a
     verbatim echo of anything older;
  3. the daemon records `negotiated_session_version(offer)`.

A shipped v20 frontend echoes 20 and gets a v20 session, byte-for-byte
as before — the real-daemon acceptance that emulates its rejection point
still passes untouched. A current frontend offers up and gets v21. The
`Hello` encoding and value are unchanged, which is why the old frontend
never sees a version it must reject.

`peer_declared_panel_support` gains the arm 2B-2 deliberately left off:
a semantic session is panel-capable exactly when it negotiated
`PANEL_MIN_VERSION` or later. The gate is on placement, not only
transport, so a v6-v20 semantic session keeps the Stage 1 fallback.

The GPU client's `server_protocol_version` splits into
`session_protocol_version` (what the session speaks — every wire gate
keys on this) and `baseline_protocol_version` (what `Hello` advertised).
They now differ in the normal case, and that difference IS the
compatibility property, so both headless probe reports emit both keys and
the two ratchets that read them assert both directions: session 21 AND
baseline 20. Asserting only the session version would pass if the
baseline had been bumped too — the exact incompatible change this
mechanism avoids.

Also fixes a pre-existing `unused_mut` in a `crdt`-gated daemon test,
dark to the standard clippy gate because that gate runs without the
feature.

Levi Neuwirth 7350cfdd8a merge: integrate main @ e003b81 (PR #190) into the Stage 1 lane
One conflict, `docs/active-work.md`, with three strands rather than the
usual one: main gained #190's lane, this branch carries its own Stage 1
lane and a relabel of the #188 framing lane, and main had removed the
documentation lane while this branch still had it.

Resolved by construction. Main's file taken whole; this branch's Stage
1 lane reinserted at its own position ahead of the bottom-panel lane;
this branch's relabelled framing lane ("MERGED AS PR #188") kept in
place of main's stale "OPEN, PROPOSED" version; main's removal of the
documentation lane preserved.

Verified against both parents rather than by inspection: the Stage 1
block is byte-identical to this branch's, the documentation lane is
gone, no conflict markers survive, and the update-protocol rule 6 seam
check finds no double blanks.

Note for whoever absorbs next: main now carries three lanes describing
merged PRs (#190, #188, #194). This merge keeps this branch's more
accurate labelling of the #188 one but does not remove any of them ---
rule 4 permits removal only once durable facts reach
`docs/agent-handoff.md`, and none of those three PRs touched it.

Levi Neuwirth 5d92348054 fix(editor-core): normalize rewritten selections
Adopt Q#GB6's clamp-or-clear rule in both window-coordinate
normalization paths. Preserve shortened selections, clear only those
collapsed by a moved endpoint, and pin both outcomes through the real
generated-write and view-rebuild callers.

Make listview refresh rely on the generated-write notification before
reseating, so Stage 1 criterion 7's fan-out mutation bites both
adopters. Align criteria 5, 11, and 12 with framing revision 7.

Levi Neuwirth 0b92d4705f docs: record the pipe-masking gate trap in the handoff
Review round 2 found no new defects; this is the one durable item it
asked to be carried further than a commit message.

`cmd | tail -2` returns TAIL's exit status, not `cmd`'s, in fish and
bash alike. So a gate chain of `cargo test ... | tail -2 && ... && echo
"ALL GATES CLEAN"` prints the clean line even when a suite failed, and
that is what happened while gating this lane: a `pmacs-gpu` failure was
summarized as clean. The point worth keeping is that this is not
carelessness a closer read would catch --- the verdict is structurally
absent from the summary the PR then cites. §5 now says to check
`$pipestatus[1]`, or better to redirect each gate to a file and read it
afterwards, which also preserves the full log that section already asks
for. Filed beside the skip-reports-`ok` lesson, which is the same
family: the thing that summarizes a gate must not be able to lose the
gate's verdict.

Also fixes the doc-comment splice in `tests/support/mod.rs`, where the
why-two-directories paragraph landed mid-sentence and left the
include-mechanics explanation stranded inside it. Cosmetic, and review
called it not worth a round on its own --- folded in here because the
file was being touched anyway.

Levi Neuwirth a81ff917d8 review round 1: stop installing rust-analyzer on macOS, and paste the base
P1 --- the workflow contradicted this lane's own claim. `components:
rust-analyzer` rode the shared `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` step, which
matrixes over ubuntu AND macos, so the binary would have been present
on both. PRESENCE, not PMACS_REQUIRE_LSP, is what decides whether a
gated test body runs --- the unset variables on macOS only meant
absence would be tolerated there, not that the tests stay skipped. Two
rust-analyzer tests would therefore have executed on macOS for the
first time ever, on the legs that are simultaneously the CI critical
path and the documented flake surface, one of them doing real indexing,
none of it covered by the Linux-only local runs behind this lane. Moved
into the Linux-gated step so the text and the workflow agree.

P2 --- the ledger promised a base and pasted nothing. Worse than the
review knew: a script was run to substitute it, reported success,
matched no text, and the result was never re-read. The claim shipped on
the strength of a tool's exit status. The entry now carries the pasted
base and a recovery command, and records the lesson in the terms this
ledger keeps relearning --- asserting a measurement is not making one,
and a tool reporting success is not the measurement either.

P3 --- tool versions pinned (gopls v0.16.2,
vscode-langservers-extracted 4.10.0, yaml-language-server 1.15.0), so
CI no longer drifts with upstream publishes and a break has a commit
here to bisect against. `tests/support/` now states why it exists
beside `tests/common/`: the latter re-exports daemon and PTY
machinery, and pulling that into three binaries that spawn neither to
reach a six-line environment check is the wrong trade. Recorded as a
cost, with the rule that a third such directory means consolidating
rather than continuing.

Also recorded, because §1.2 is NOT fully closed by this lane: the
guards arm the ENTRY skip only, and m4_acceptance's mid-test
"workspace likely still indexing; skipping" survives --- so even armed,
that test's one assertion can still vanish under load, which is exactly
when a regression would show. Mid-test skips want their own pass. And
the follow-up this lane creates: removing the documentation lane
removes the only pointer to githubsucks/handoff-2026-07-20, so that
branch needs deleting after merge or nothing will ever mention it
again.

P4 --- the consolidated lua skip message names PMACS_TEST_LUAJIT again;
the `or_else(locate_shell("luajit"))` path still honours it and the
escape hatch had become undiscoverable. Double blank line before the
parked lane collapsed.

One gate note worth carrying rather than burying. A `PMACS_REQUIRE_GPU=1
cargo test -p pmacs-gpu` run failed once during this round, naming the
`--bin pmacs-gpu` target, and my gate chain still printed a clean
summary because `cmd | tail -2` in an `&&` chain returns TAIL's exit
status, not cargo's. Four subsequent runs pass 202/202 and the failure
has not reproduced, so it is recorded as observed-and-unreproduced
rather than explained. The masking is the durable part: a gate summary
assembled through a pipe can report success over a failure.

Gates re-run after the fix: fmt; clippy -D warnings; --lib 1863; --lib
--features crdt 2048; m4_acceptance 121; m6_5 11; m6_8 8; required GPU

Levi Neuwirth 35b119700f test: arm the silent skips, so external-tool tests stop passing vacuously
Lane 2 of the testing arc (`TEST_IMPROVEMENT.md` §1.2, §5.4).

The shape being fixed reports GREEN when the tool is missing:

    let Ok(_) = which_binary("gopls") else {
        eprintln!("gopls not on PATH; skipping");
        return;
    };

CI installed none of these tools, so a block of real-language-server
and multi-shell tests had never once executed their bodies while
reporting success on every run. A suite that cannot distinguish
"passed" from "never ran" is worse than a missing suite, because it
reads as coverage in exactly the place someone would go looking for it.

The fix is this project's own pattern rather than a new one:
PMACS_REQUIRE_GPU already turns a missing adapter into a hard failure
for the headless render job. This adds PMACS_REQUIRE_LSP,
PMACS_REQUIRE_SHELLS and PMACS_REQUIRE_LUA, and the CI step that
installs the tools they promise. Per-tool variables rather than one
blanket flag, so a tool that must stay unarmed keeps that decision
visible at the call site instead of buried in a workflow file.

basedpyright is deliberately NOT installed and NOT armed. Its test has
no timeout and hangs forever; the root cause is the non-interruptible
reader-thread join in `RuntimeHandles::drop`, already a named deferral
in `src/process.rs`, and the `test` job has no `timeout-minutes`.
Arming it today would trade a vacuous green for a six-hour hang across
four legs. PMACS_REQUIRE_PYRIGHT exists and is never set, so the flip
is one line after the hang fix and the CI timeouts land.

A trap found while writing the workflow rather than after: the natural
Actions idiom

    PMACS_REQUIRE_LSP: ${{ runner.os == 'Linux' && '1' || '' }}

sets the variable to the EMPTY STRING on every other platform, and
`var_os(..).is_some()` is true for `Some("")`. That would have armed
the guard on precisely the runners with none of the tools installed
and failed every one of them. The helper treats empty as unset, which
makes the common spelling safe instead of subtly wrong.

The helper is SHARED via `#[path = "support/mod.rs"]` rather than
copied into three test binaries. `m6_8_multi_repl_acceptance.rs`
carried a comment saying cross-test-binary sharing "would need a
fixture crate"; it does not, and a correct helper in one file beside a
degraded copy in another is this suite's most repeated defect.

Verified by execution in all three states, using a tool genuinely
absent from this machine (vscode-json-language-server): unset skips
green; armed fails hard, naming the CI step that should have installed
it; empty string skips green. On `main` the armed state cannot fail at
all, because no guard exists.

And the question none of this could answer until now --- whether the
tests pass when they actually run --- is answered: armed locally, 11
m6_5 and 8 m6_8 REPL tests are green, and all six real-LSP tests
(clangd x2, gopls x2, rust-analyzer x2) pass individually. The coverage
was real the whole time. It just never ran.

Linux only for now, deliberately: macOS needs the brew equivalents and
roughly doubles install cost on the slowest matrix leg. The variables
stay unset there, so those tests skip cleanly as before.

Also removes the documentation lane from the ledger. Its disposition
was left undecided pending confirmation that its branch carried
nothing unique; measured, `githubsucks/handoff-2026-07-20` is 1 ahead
and 365 behind, and its whole unique diff is four doc files at 42
insertions against 88 deletions --- merging it would REVERT current
documentation. The section asked whoever confirmed that to remove it.

Levi Neuwirth 6b21e93e93 fix(lsp): close review round 1 on the resource-op delete guard
Four findings, all reproduced by the reviewer, all accepted. Two of
them are one defect class — a guard whose scope was REASONED ABOUT
rather than enumerated — so both are recorded in the framing's new §9
together with a sweep of every other place this lane decides something
is "affected".

P1 — the delete preflight broke ordered resource operations
(§9.3). Every delete was judged against the filesystem's INITIAL
state, at plan-construction time, so a valid `create X -> delete X`
was refused with a fabricated NotFound about a path the batch was
about to create; likewise `rename A -> B -> delete B`. This was a
regression this lane introduced, not a pre-existing defect.

Decision: DEFER, do not simulate. A delete whose target is related by
component-aware path containment to a path an EARLIER op in the same
plan creates, renames onto, renames away from, or removes is not
judged at plan time; the primitive judges it when it runs. Q#RD3
already calls this check a filter, not a transaction, so declining to
judge is inside its contract and refusing a legal batch is not.
Simulating instead would mean modelling filesystem presence AND the
registry's path bindings across create/rename/edit — the transaction
Q#RD3 declines to build — and a wrong simulation emits false `clear`
verdicts, which is the dangerous direction. `edit` ops are excluded
from the deferral set on purpose: an edit changes no path's existence,
so it can only turn a plan-time `clear` into a primitive-time
refusal, which Q#RD3 already documents and accepts. The
buffer-and-filesystem half therefore still fires early for any target
no prior op touches, which is what criterion 11c pins.

P1 — the production-boundary acceptances are landed (§9.5).
Criteria 11, 11a-11d, 12 (both directions), 13 and 15 now drive a real
`pmacs_fake_lsp` child over a real transport. One parameterized mode,
`applyeditplan`, replaces the eight the framing named: it reads its
whole WorkspaceEdit from a test-written file and publishes the
client's response to a sink, so each of the eight fixtures sits next
to the assertions that depend on it instead of being mirrored across
two files. Fail-closed — an unreadable plan sends no applyEdit and
reports itself through the sink, so a broken fixture cannot read as a
pass — and the sink is written `.part`-then-rename so a polling reader
never sees a partial record. There is no skip-and-return-ok arm
anywhere: `fake_lsp_path` resolves through `env!("CARGO_BIN_EXE_...")`,
a compile-time constant, so a missing binary is a build failure.

P1 — mid-batch failures were misreported as complete aborts (§9.4).
`apply_workspace_edit` now returns `nil, message, applied_op_count`,
and ONE renderer serves both the user-facing status line and the
server's `failureReason`, so the two cannot disagree. All three
callers are updated, not only the rename one.

P2 — non-recursive deletes inspected descendants (§9.2). `recursive`
is now a parameter of the shared query and descendant matching is
reserved for recursive deletes. The old doc comment argued at length
for the wrong behaviour and is replaced by the counterexample that
falsifies it: a modified buffer at `tree/gone.rs` whose file is
already gone blocked a non-recursive delete of the now-EMPTY `tree/`,
an op that would have succeeded and that removes none of that
buffer's contents. This narrows the Q#RD6 query #171 adopts.

Criterion 3's stated bite: fixed by fixing the SETUP, not the doc.
The first commit's test comment carried a correction saying the
framing's wording was wrong. It was wrong only against that setup —
and §9.2's narrowing would then have left the setup with no bite at
all, since a non-recursive delete no longer inspects a descendant.
So the buffer is now bound to the EXACT deleted path: a file is
opened, then replaced on disk by a non-empty directory, and
`remove_dir` fails with ENOTEMPTY deterministically under any uid.
Both of the framing's stated pre-images now bite, so the framing
needed no amendment there. The correction is recorded in §9.1 rather
than only in a test comment, which is where the review asked for it.

WHY THE SHIPPED SUITE PASSED WHILE FINDINGS 1 AND 4 WERE LIVE — two
coverage facts for the next lane. Every delete criterion drove the
PRIMITIVE directly, so nothing in the suite ever built a multi-op plan
and the preflight's plan-time behaviour had no test at all; the only
batch test, `m4_15`, happens to delete a path no earlier op touches.
And every recursive-delete criterion (7, 8, 9) passes `recursive =
true`, while every non-recursive one binds its buffer to the exact
target, so no test in the suite ever combined a non-recursive delete
with a descendant buffer — the exact cell finding 4 lives in.

Sweep, per the review's request. Seven sites decide something is
"affected"; the table is in framing §9.7. Three were the defects
above. Two are unchanged by design and named so they are not mistaken
for oversights: phase-4 reconciliation compares paths RAW via
`BufferRegistry::find_by_path`, which Q#RD10 pins as "exactly today's
behaviour" and which correcting would widen reconciliation — the one
thing Q#RD5 forbids; and `delete_verdict` stats the raw path while
comparing normalized ones, a latent inconsistency whose every branch
fails safe and which matches the primitive's own `remove_file`. Two
are consistent: the `_delete_verdict` binding defaults `recursive` and
`ignore_if_not_exists` the same way the primitive does, and the
deferral set is enumerated (create: 1 path; rename: 2; delete: 1;
edit: excluded, with the argument written down) rather than reasoned
about. Nothing else in the lane decides an affected set.

Bites. Every row was RUN, with the positive control `scripts/bite`
gained in #192 (merged into this lane), and every ref-based row below
reports `OK (assertion)` rather than `OK (COMPILE)`. `1873be6` is this
lane's own first commit: findings 1, 3 and 4 were introduced by it, so
`main` cannot falsify their pins.

  rd11a builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ main      OK (assertion)
  rd11b builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ main      OK (assertion)
  rd11c builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ main      OK (assertion)
  rd11d builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ main      OK (assertion)
  rd12a builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ main      OK (assertion)
  rd12b builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ main      OK (assertion)
  rd13  builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ main      OK (assertion)
  rd15  builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ main      OK (assertion)
  rd18  src/lua_bindings/mod.rs  @ 1873be6  OK (assertion)
  rd19a builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ 1873be6   OK (assertion)
  rd19b builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ 1873be6   OK (assertion)
  rd19c builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ 1873be6   OK (assertion)
  rd20  builtin/runtime/lsp.lua @ 1873be6   OK (assertion)

Two rows need their weakness stated rather than hidden.

rd11 is VACUOUS against `main`'s `lsp.lua` and the script says so — a
preflight-less applier passes it, which is expected, because rd11 is
the direction that asserts the guard does NOT over-refuse (the same
shape as criteria 2, 7, 9 and 14). It bites two other ways, both run:
`OK (assertion)` against `main`'s `src/lua_bindings/mod.rs`, where the
primitive's absent-plus-ignore branch destroys the buffer; and against
a hand mutation dropping `ignore_if_not_exists` from the preflight
call, which is the pre-image the framing actually names for it.

rd3's two pre-images are designs never committed, so no ref carries
them and `scripts/bite` cannot be used. Hand-mutated instead:
reconciliation moved ahead of the filesystem mutation makes rd3 fail
on exactly its stated assertion (and rd4 with it). On this setup that
mutation and "validation that removes rather than inspects" are the
same mutation, because the buffer is bound to the exact deleted path —
stated because the first shipped setup could see neither.

The eight rows against `main`'s `lsp.lua` all fail by TIMEOUT rather
than by a value assertion, and that is the pre-image behaviour, not a
flaky harness: on `main` the primitive's raise escapes the applier,
escapes `handle_server_requests`, is swallowed by the
`pcall(handle_server_requests)` at the bottom of the file, and the
server is never answered at all. The sink is therefore never written.
That unanswered request is the defect criterion 13 exists to pin.

Gates: fmt; clippy -D warnings; --lib 1863; --lib --features crdt
2048; m4_acceptance 146 (was 132); lsp_dispatch_seams_acceptance 15;

Levi Neuwirth 4da4830f80 fix(editor-core): drop a selection anchor a rewrite invalidated
Review finding 1 on PR #191. `notify_buffer_edit` clamped `cursor` and
`view_top` but not `win.selection.anchor`, and `rebuild_views_for` had
the same gap. Clamping the cursor is not enough to make the region safe:
`Window::region` orders `(anchor, cursor)`, so a stale anchor above a
clamped cursor is still the region's high end and `region_bytes` slices
the rope with it. Reproduced before the fix as
`assertion failed: end <= self.len()` at `src/rope.rs:145`, reached from
`EditorCore::clipboard_copy` after a generated rewrite.

The anchor is DROPPED, not clamped. A window must always have a cursor,
so clamping one is the only available answer; a window need not have a
selection, and a clamped anchor asserts a region boundary the user never
placed --- after a wholesale rewrite the surviving offsets address
unrelated bytes. This is not a new rule: `window.quit`'s restore already
answers the same question the same way with
`selection.filter(|sel| sel.anchor <= len)` (`src/editor_core.rs:3259`).
One rule, now three call sites.

Both exits are pinned separately, because fixing one and trusting the
other is how the gap arose: `acc16h` drives `notify_buffer_edit` through
a generated write, `acc16i` drives `rebuild_views_for` through
`pmacs.help.show_command`, which is the `*help*` renderer's real path.
Deleting either call site fails only its own test. The pin also
discriminates DROP from CLAMP, because that is the decision a revised
Q#GB6 could overturn.

The wording is marked PROVISIONAL in both the implementation and the
pins. The rule belongs to Q#GB6, and PR #188's approved revision 5 does
not mention the anchor; a revision request carrying this defect is with
that lane. If the landed revision says clamp or translate, this changes
to match rather than standing as a third description.

Also in this commit, review findings 2 and 3 --- the tree asserting what
the record does not support:

- Criterion 5's restatement is withdrawn in BOTH suites. The tests now
  quote the approved criterion, are renamed `*_provisional_*`, and say
  they do not satisfy it; the evidence (`ensure_writable` precedes the
  intercept chain, with the measured `ReadOnly` message) is recorded as
  what was sent to #188, not as a replacement contract. The framing's
  own bite is unchanged and still fails them.
- Criterion 7's "for each adopter" is restored: the listview half now
  exists as its own test. Its inability to carry the framing's mutation
  bite --- `window.switch_buffer` rebuilds the `TextView`, verified by
  applying the mutation and watching this half stay green while the
  dired half fails --- is recorded in the test and filed with #188,
  not resolved here.
- Criteria 11 and 12 are relabelled from `main` bites to mutation bites.
  Both fail on `main` only at their disambiguation premise and never
  reach the assertions they exist for, so a revert is not evidence for
  what they assert.

How a restated contract passed the previous gate run, since the next
lane can use this: nothing in the gate suite reads a framing document,
so a test that quietly narrows its criterion is indistinguishable from
one that satisfies it --- both are green, and `scripts/bite` only proves
an assertion bites some pre-image, never that the assertion is the one
that was approved. The gate can catch a test that does not bite; it
cannot catch a test that bites the wrong contract, so that check has to
happen where the criterion is read.

Levi Neuwirth e1b859fd4f feat(generated-buffers): dired and listview adopt the authorized write
Stage 1 of generated-buffer immutability
(docs/generated-buffer-immutability-framing.md, revision 5). Closes the
two families the bug is reachable on WITHOUT `M-x`: `compile.lua` and the
search panel rebind all seven undo chords to a no-op, but `dired.lua` and
`listview.lua` rebind nothing, so a bare `C-/` emptied a listing and a
panel. The cheap half is also the exposed half.

An intercept is not read-only. `Buffer::undo` reaches the rope through
`ensure_writable` and never consults the intercept chain, so the
erroring-intercept-plus-`bypass_intercept`-over-a-writable-rope idiom
guarded the edit path and left the history path open. Rebinding chords
does not close it: `M-x buffer.undo` is dispatchable on every buffer in
the tree.

- `dired.lua`'s `paint` and `listview.lua`'s `render` write through
  `pmacs.buffer.set_generated_contents` — lift the lock, whole-buffer
  replace skipping intercepts, discard history, re-assert the lock, fan
  the `Edit` out. Zero `bypass_intercept` writes remain in either file.
- Both keep their named erroring intercept and `set_round_trip_input`.
  The layering at `terminal.lua:351-366` is unchanged: the rope lock
  protects the daemon copy, round-trip input protects a semantic
  frontend's own mirror, and neither substitutes for the other.
- Q#GB13 — `listview.ensure_panel` stops adopting a same-named foreign
  buffer. Ownership is the `panels` table; a collision disambiguates
  `<2>`..`<99>` and raises at the limit, matching `dired.lua:476-504`.
  This is a prerequisite of the lock, not a follow-up: the arc removes
  the `M-x buffer.undo` that was the only recovery from a clobber.
- Q#GB18 — `panels` becomes a compacting list keyed by identity. It was
  written under the requested name and read back under the actual name,
  which a disambiguated panel breaks: `RET`, `g` and `q` fail closed and
  silently, and `listview.open`'s capture guard fails OPEN, capturing a
  panel as its own `q` target — the chained-panel loop its comment says
  it prevents. Ships in the same commit as the disambiguation by the
  framing's ordering constraint.
- Q#GB6 — `EditorCore::notify_buffer_edit` clamps each window coordinate
  against its own post-edit bound, unconditionally. `cursor` is a byte
  position bounded by `Buffer::len`; `view_top` is a line index bounded
  by `TextView::line_count`, and a replace can grow in bytes while
  collapsing lines, so "the buffer shrank" is not a usable trigger. This
  fixes a shipped defect that reaches terminal copy mode.
- Q#GB16(a) — locking these families disables fold CREATION on them,
  because `document_bytes` is spelled `is_read_only()`. Accepted and
  stated rather than shipped silently; the status string now names the
  read-only lock instead of claiming "not a document buffer".

Acceptance: 10 new criteria in `listview_acceptance` (16 total), 6 in
`dired_acceptance` (31 total), 2 in `terminal_copy_mode_acceptance`.
Every criterion's falsifying mutation was run: 5 bite by revert against
`githubsucks/main`, 9 by a named one-line mutation.

Two framing corrections, both recorded in the tests rather than worked
around silently:

- Stage 1 criterion 5 is unreachable as written. `Buffer::apply_edit`
  (`src/buffer.rs:773`) and `begin_edit` (`:725`) call `ensure_writable`
  as their FIRST statement while the intercept chain runs later inside
  `apply_edit_inner` (`:1072`), so once this arc's lock is installed an
  ordinary edit can never reach the intercept. Restated at the one point
  where the two are distinguishable — the lock lifted — which is the
  state the intercept genuinely still covers.
- Criterion 7 cannot bite at the listview adopter. `listview.refresh`
  and `listview.open` both follow `render` with `window.switch_buffer`,
  which rebuilds the `TextView` from scratch and masks a dropped
  fan-out. `dired.revert` does not, so the dired half carries the bite;
  it fails under the mutation with the reported
  `assertion failed: end <= self.len()`.

Levi Neuwirth 1873be6141 feat(lsp): refuse a resource-op delete that would destroy unsaved work
Implements the framing merged as #186. On `main` today,
`pmacs.buffer.apply_resource_op`'s delete arm removes a file and then
removes any buffer bound to it, with no dirty check at any link in the
chain — so a server-driven delete destroys unsaved edits, and the
`ignore_if_not_exists` arm destroys them having done no filesystem work
at all.

Layer 1 — the primitive. The delete arm becomes four ordered phases:
stat/no-op decision, enumerate and validate, mutate the filesystem,
reconcile the registry. Validation inspects and removes nothing, so a
filesystem failure leaves every buffer intact automatically rather than
by compensation, and `on_removed` still observes the path already gone
because reconciliation stays last.

`delete_verdict` is the single shared query. It scans *every*
path-bound buffer rather than the first match, because `find_by_path`
is first-match-only and `pmacs.buffer.from_file` makes duplicates
reachable — a clean first match could otherwise hide a modified second.
It normalizes both sides before comparing and uses component-aware
`starts_with`, so `/tree` does not match `/tree-sibling`. It stats with
`symlink_metadata`, not `canonicalize`, which reports a dangling
symlink as absent and would disagree with the primitive on exactly the
input `ignore_if_not_exists` turns on.

Layer 2 — the applier and the server-request boundary.
`apply_workspace_edit` gains a plan-time delete precondition check
driven by the same Rust helper, so the two layers cannot drift. It is a
filter, not a transaction, and the code says so: `documentChanges` are
sequential, so an earlier edit can dirty a buffer a later op deletes.
The applier is now total — every failure becomes `nil, message`, and
the origin buffer is restored on the failure path as well as the
success path. At the boundary, parse *and* apply are wrapped:
`_parse_workspace_edit` sits one line above the applier and is
fallible, so a parse failure previously escaped, was swallowed by
`pcall(handle_server_requests)`, and left the server unanswered — the
defect being fixed, one line out of scope. Failures now also append one
labelled record to `*errors*`.

Scope, stated plainly rather than implied by what is present:

  * Acceptance criteria 1-10, 14 and 16 land here — 11 tests driving
    the primitive directly. Criteria 11, 11a-11d, 12, 13 and 15 do
    NOT: they exercise Layer 2 through a real server pump and need
    `pmacs_fake_lsp` modes that do not exist yet. Criterion 13
    explicitly rejects a direct-call test as insufficient, so the
    Layer 2 code currently has no production-path pin. That is a real
    gap and the reason this is not the whole lane.

  * The framing's §8 branch plan said the implementation would land on
    #186 itself. #186 merged as framing-only, so it gets its own
    branch and PR. No decision changes.

  * Criterion 3's stated bite in the framing is wrong. It claims to
    fail against buffer-first ordering; it does not, because the
    deleted path is a directory no buffer is bound to, so the
    reordering never fires on that input. It does fail against
    validation that removes rather than inspects. Checked by mutation
    rather than trusted, and the test comment carries the correction.

Bite: criteria 1, 5, 6, 8 and 10 fail against `githubsucks/main` under
`scripts/bite`. Criteria 3 and 4 pin phase ordering against designs
never committed, so `main` cannot falsify them; both were verified by
hand mutation instead. Criteria 2, 7, 9 and 14 assert preserved or
deliberately-unchanged behaviour and pass against `main` by design —
2 is criterion 1's opposite direction, 9 pins today's imperfect
orphaning so widening cannot happen silently.

Gates: fmt; clippy -D warnings; --lib 1863; --lib --features crdt
2048; m4_acceptance 132; lsp_dispatch_seams_acceptance 15;
dired_acceptance 25 and autosave_acceptance 29 (the framing's watch
items); PMACS_REQUIRE_GPU=1 -p pmacs-gpu 202; git diff --check clean.

No protocol change.

Levi Neuwirth 3ecb03d949 Close review round 1: five findings, plus one the sweep found
All five review findings reproduced with a failing test before any fix,
and every fix falsified by reverting it.

R1-1 — the wire-area clamp lived only in `panel_grid_size`, so the daemon
shipped an authoritative `Absent` while `panel_hidden` stayed false:
keys kept reaching the invisible window and a panel terminal kept its
controller. Q#BP2b calls hiding a DURABLE state transition and the
exhaustion arm had made it a per-frame effect. Fixed structurally rather
than pointwise: `presentable_panel_grid` is now the one derivation behind
both the renderer and `reconcile_panel_layout_core`, so the two cannot
drift apart again.

R1-2 — closing and reopening the same PERSISTENT buffer inside one
dispatcher burst left the shipped declaration intact while the window it
described was already dead, and same-buffer/same-size made the successor
indistinguishable by every other field. A presentation epoch only
identifies a presentation if something checks that the presentation it
names is still on screen, so `panel_declaration_matches` now takes the
live side window and buffer.

R1-3 — the semantic terminal-layout twin consulted only the full-document
declaration, which a panel terminal deliberately lacks, so the child kept
its opening geometry through the drain. `sync_semantic_panel_terminal_
layout` is the missing case; it resolves through `side_window_for` while
its sibling resolves through `primary_document_window`, so the two are
disjoint by construction and nothing is resized twice per tick.

R2-4 — `NoMessage` means publish nothing, not publish empty. Treating it
like `Invalidated` removed the band's provider text on a transient
buffer-follow mismatch. The band repaints its whole mode line every
frame, so "publish nothing" has to be a retained baseline; it is keyed by
window id so a replaced panel inherits nothing.

R2-5 — non-`Move` activation is Q#BP16's TERMINAL clause, because the
shared adapter claims the controller for wheel steps too. A document
panel keeps scroll-without-focus, matching `dispatch_mouse`.

The sweep for R1-1's and R1-3's shape found one more, and it is the same
bug as R1-1: a panel wider than the terminal subsystem's per-axis cap is
legal on the wire (Bet B5') but its content rect was refused by
`snapshot_for_view`, collapsing the projection to `None` — a per-frame
`Absent` with the durable state still saying visible, reachable with one
`FrontendCellGeometry` declaration. The band is legitimately that wide,
so the child is clamped to the columns a PTY can have and the remainder
paints as band background, exactly as a narrower snapshot already does.

One knowingly per-frame `Absent` remains and is recorded in the code
rather than fixed: presentation-epoch exhaustion, which takes 2^64
shipped presentation changes in one session and cannot be reached by any
frontend.

Levi Neuwirth 817b134ae8 Produce PanelFrame and gate the inbound panel events
Bottom-panel Stage 2B-2, second half: the producer, the presentation
epoch, and the three inbound event gates.

The producer lives beside the terminal pass in `semantic_render.rs` and
follows its shape: compare the complete payload first, validate only a
payload that differs, and store only what was actually shipped. The
presentation epoch is allocated from the side window and its buffer, so
a new side window, a replaced buffer, and every `Absent` -> `Present`
transition each take a fresh identity; `Absent` clears the identity,
which is what makes close/hide/reopen of the SAME persistent buffer
unaddressable by a stale `PanelPointer`. Allocation is checked and
exhaustion fails closed to `Absent` rather than wrapping into a live
identity. The `Absent` baseline is seeded rather than left empty: a
fresh session has no band, so the opening state is a fact the peer
already holds.

The band rides both render paths and does not wait for a declared byte
viewport: it is a separate surface, and gating it on the document
declaration would leave the first panel unpaintable. Its mode line takes
the side window's segments from the SAME provider invocation that serves
the document's wire segments.

Inbound, `peer_may_send_panel_events` checks four facts together — an
installed semantic projection, the negotiated version, the daemon's own
capability bit, and (via the transport source) that the payload's
claimed id is never consulted. `panel_event_epochs_are_current` then
runs Q#BP16 steps 2-4 as one predicate so no caller can check the
geometry epoch and forget the presentation epoch.

Two daemon gates moved from `panel_capable` to `!semantic_render`. Stage
1 could conflate them because panel capability implied grid; now that a
semantic view can be panel-capable, a capability-keyed gate would feed it
the permanent 24x80 attach placeholder that Q#BP15a forbids, and parent
acceptance 40 would fail through the attach line rather than through the
projection. Not a live defect — no production semantic session is
panel-capable yet — but it is the landmine Stage 2B-3 would have stepped
on.

`panel_capable` is unchanged for production negotiation and the
unsolicited `Hello` still advertises v20. Nothing here is reachable by a
user.

Levi Neuwirth 7741cf806a fix(journey): honor the captured window, not the selected one
Review round 1 of PR #182. One implementation gap and two stale claims.

**The scope pins the frontend; it does not pin the window.** Framing
§4.4 specified `display{ window = dest:window() }`, but dired's commit
still ended in `pmacs.window.switch_buffer`, which targets whatever
window the scoped frontend has selected. A split or panel that took
focus while `read_dir` was pending therefore received the listing, and
`prev` was captured from it too — with every preflight check passing,
because the captured window was still live and still held its captured
buffer. Both sites now read the captured window: `display` routes to it
with `select = true` (the later `seat_cursor` acts on the active
window), and the `prev` read asks it directly.

N4c pins both halves. The suite's existing routing pins all varied
*frontend* identity; none varied the selected window within one
frontend, which is exactly why 23 green pins missed this. Bite: dired's
`display` back to `switch_buffer` fails N4c alone; `prev` read from the
ambient window fails N4c alone.

Two stale documentation claims, both of which this PR was supposed to
have already fixed:

* **The §0 scorecard still graded §2 "Broken at entry"** while §2's own
  ground truth had been rewritten. The scorecard is a second copy of the
  same claim and §25's protocol covers both. §19's row and ground truth
  were stale the same way — this PR creates the first cross-subsystem
  suite, which §19 says should exist and grades as missing — and are
  corrected too.
* **P4 still read "leaves exactly one buffer"**, the exact claim rev 6
  corrected as false everywhere else in the framing. Restated to what it
  actually pins: the file is in the *active window*. The test was
  already written correctly; only the framing lied.

Framing rev 8.

Levi Neuwirth 9b364adc26 fix(panel): review round 1 — buffer_id, the transport ratchet, shared bounds
P1 — `PanelPointer` was missing the approved `buffer_id`. Q#BP16 gives it
and `panel_epoch` different jobs and neither subsumes the other:
`buffer_id` catches an A->B buffer replacement, `panel_epoch` catches
close/hide/reopen of the SAME persistent buffer, which a buffer id alone
cannot see. Added in the framing's field order, with a pin asserting each
field independently reaches the wire.

P1 — added parent criterion 39's transport-safety ratchet. It builds the
maximum legal panel payload, asserts the fixture actually spends the whole
aggregate glyph budget (otherwise the ratchet measures something smaller
than the worst case), asserts one byte more is rejected, and pins the
encoded `InstanceMessage::PanelFrame` below `MAX_FRAME_BYTES`. Shaped
`1 x MAX_PANEL_VISIBLE_CELLS` deliberately: no per-axis cap makes that a
legal panel geometry a terminal cannot express, so it is the worst case
the terminal's own ratchet never measured. Bitten by tripling the glyph
budget — 30,342,696 bytes against the 16 MiB cap.

P2 — the shared bounds were duplicated literals. `MAX_TERMINAL_GRAPHEME_BYTES`
now aliases `MAX_WIRE_GRID_GRAPHEME_BYTES`, so the terminal screen's
truncation (`src/terminal/screen.rs:697`, `:777`) and the validator cannot
drift. Two more had the same defect and are aliased too:
`MAX_TERMINAL_VISIBLE_CELLS` and `MAX_TERMINAL_FRAME_GLYPH_BYTES`.

Levi Neuwirth d9d1c0b423 test(journey): pin the destination commit, and land the doc updates
Completes Journey Stage 1a: the `commit_to` acceptance suite (framing
§6 N4, N6, N6b, N6c, P1, P2, P3) plus the documentation updates
COHERENCE §25 requires the PR to carry.

Bite-testing the new pins found a real gap. Deleting the
`ScopedFrontend` arm from `acting_frontend` left N4 green, because
`ScopedFrontend::enter` also swaps `core.active_frontend` and the
ambient fallback then answers correctly on its own. The arm is
load-bearing in exactly one case — a commit reached from inside an
interactive command, where the origin sits between the override and the
ambient value — and nothing pinned it. N4b is added, driven through
`dispatch_key` because that is the only thing that establishes an
interactive origin, and the mutation now bites it.

Two smaller corrections found the same way:

* `commit_to`'s forged-destination message was unreachable. Typed as
  `AnyUserData`, mlua rejected a table during argument conversion, so a
  caller got "error converting Lua table to userdata" — true, but naming
  neither the rule nor the remedy. The parameter is now `mlua::Value`
  and the pointed message fires.
* P1 and P2 also fail on full revert, since `commit_to` does not exist
  on the pre-image, so §6.0's "legitimately green on the pre-image" does
  not describe them. They stay in the P list because their
  discriminating falsifier is the named mutation — a revert-only check
  cannot distinguish "validates" from "validates in time" — and each pin
  now says so at its own site rather than being silently mislabelled.

Bite results, each run against the whole suite:

  scope stops swapping `core.active_frontend`  -> N6a, P3 fail; nothing else
  preflight moved after the callback           -> P1, P2 fail; nothing else
  drop the `ScopedFrontend` arm                -> N4b fails; nothing else

Docs: COHERENCE §2 grade + step-3 verdict row, §20 Priority 1 and the
arc list; the GPU initial-target framing's Q#GT6 and acceptance 10,
whose directory case this stage deliberately supersedes; handoff §1;
the active-work ledger; framing rev 7.

Levi Neuwirth d1bff6ac30 fix(lean4): count fan-outs where a claim cannot skip the count
Round 11 put the nesting count in the expander, which is optional. A
consumer at a lower priority can CLAIM and stop the chain before the
expander runs, while that fan-out's deferred-expansion subscriber still
runs — so the nested pass went uncounted, looked like the outermost
one, expanded early, and outer pairing resumed with a record the
replace had invalidated. `\alp(` gave `α(` again.

The count now comes from a no-op consumer registered at the minimum
priority, which runs first in every chain invocation that reaches any
consumer at all. Its guarantee is exactly the ordering contract the
chain already rests on, and it degrades safely: the only thing that can
skip it is a claim ahead of it, which skips the expander too, so
nothing is queued in that fan-out either.

The other plausible home does not work and the comment now says why: a
subscriber registered beside `run_deferred` is too late, because the
whole nested fan-out completes inside the OUTER chain's subscriber,
before either of them runs.

Acceptance 45o pins the short-circuit path — a consumer at 25 that
claims when the record is nil, so the nested pass never reaches the
expander. 45n passes against this bug, which is why both exist.
Counting in the expander fails 45o and nothing else.

Framing rev 12 also names the shape rounds 10–12 share: each fix was
correct about the failure it was shown and wrong about the boundary of
the mechanism it leaned on — the chain's copy semantics, then its
re-entrancy, then its short-circuit. A queue that outlives the thing
that filled it has to name that thing, not approximate it.

Levi Neuwirth 0d7ec7e3a6 fix(lean4): tie the deferred expansion to the fan-out that queued it
`buffer.after-edit` fan-outs NEST — the typed-edit contract supports a
consumer calling `pmacs.hook.run`, and typed_edit.lua's header says so
in its second paragraph. A nested run re-enters every subscriber,
including the deferred expansion's, while the OUTER chain is still
walking its consumer list and pairing has not yet seen the terminator.

So a consumer registered at priority 75 — between the expander at 50
and pairing at 100 — that runs one nested fan-out made `\alp(` yield
`α(` again: the nested pass consumed the queued expansion and edited,
and outer pairing then resumed holding a record the replace had
invalidated. That is round 10's failure reached through the chain's
documented re-entrancy seam rather than through claiming, which is why
deferring alone did not close it.

Deferring work past a fan-out means owning WHICH fan-out it belongs to.
The chain's subscriber and this module's each run exactly once per
fan-out, in that order, so counting invocations of the first and
matching them off in the second identifies the nesting level. Only the
outermost pass expands; a nested one leaves the expansion queued. No
new seam in typed_edit.lua, which is merged Stage 4a substrate.

Both halves bite: removing the level check and never counting
invocations each fail the new acceptance 45n.

Also fixes a test comment that still described the span design round 10
discarded — it claimed the expansion replaces the span "INCLUDING the
terminator". The behaviour asserted was right; the explanation was
stale. Framing rev 11.

Levi Neuwirth 640c5cd0d2 feat(panel): bottom-panel Stage 2B — the v21 protocol layer
Adds the four wire shapes Q#BP9 names, bumps the protocol to v21, and
factors the cell-grid validator so a panel frame shares the terminal's
rules without inheriting its PTY caps.

- `InstanceMessage::PanelFrame(PanelFramePayload)`, appended after
  `InitialTargetResult`; `Absent` is an explicit authoritative state, not
  silence, because the receiver retains its last valid frame.
- `FrontendEvent::{FrontendCellGeometry, PanelResizeRows, PanelPointer}`,
  appended after `TerminalPointer`. Geometry is valid without a side
  window — gating it on panel presence would deadlock the first open,
  since the daemon needs columns before it can paint a first frame.
- `pmacs-protocol/src/wire_grid.rs` holds the shared rules: checked area,
  visible-cell bound, cell count, cursor bounds, glyph legality,
  wide-continuation topology, the aggregate glyph budget, and the
  attachment rejection. The 512 per-axis caps, metadata, selection spans,
  and the at_bottom/scroll_offset coupling stay terminal-only.
- The attachment rejection is deliberately shared despite its
  terminal-side wording: panels render no attachments either, so sharing
  it fails closed for both.

Both byte pins were falsified by revert: moving `PanelFrame` ahead of
`InitialTargetResult` shifts it 27 -> 28 and fails; moving the three
events ahead of `TerminalPointer` shifts it 12 -> 15 and fails.

The factoring changed no terminal acceptance — all 17 terminal tests pass
unchanged. It did surface a pre-existing coverage gap: those tests pin
the row cap but never the column cap, so widening `max_cols` to u32::MAX
left them green. `a_panel_wider_than_512_columns_is_legal_while_a_terminal_is_not`
now covers that direction.

The daemon projection, the epoch state machine, and the GPU band are
later slices of this stage.

Levi Neuwirth f3103a6953 fix(lean4): defer the expansion past the chain, and guard its point
Three defects, all about what happens AROUND the expansion rather than
about resolving an abbreviation.

A pair character that TERMINATES an abbreviation never reached
auto-pairing: `\alp(` gave `α(`. Q#LN22 already said the terminator is
not claimed and the implementation claimed it whenever an expansion
succeeded. Merely declining is not enough either — the chain hands each
consumer a copy of the record made before any consumer ran, so
expanding inside the chain invalidates the copy pairing is holding and
the closer is silently lost. Verified by mutation rather than assumed:
expand-then-decline reproduces `α(` exactly.

The expansion therefore runs on its OWN `buffer.after-edit` subscriber,
registered after typed_edit.lua's and before lsp.lua's. A claim stops
the chain but not a separate subscriber, which is the point: pairing
claims the terminator it reacts to. The replaced span now covers only
the leader and the typed text, so pairing's closer lands outside it and
survives. One undo restores the same text either way, because the
terminator was always its own insert.

That second subscriber is a new instance of Q#AP7 — lsp.lua flushes
didChange synchronously on the signature-trigger path, and `(` is a
trigger — so acceptance 45m pins it with the sighelp fake server: no
didChange may ever carry the unexpanded text.

The relevance check is now three-part, as pairing's has been since
#110: buffer, window, AND `ed.cursor() == rec.post_cursor`. A redefined
self-insert can insert the completing character and then move the
point, and expanding over a span the user has left teleports them back
into it.

Cursor placement after the replace is context-guarded, as
`repair_cursor` is. A buffer intercept may switch buffers while
`buf:replace` runs; the unguarded `goto_byte` then translated the Lean
buffer's pre-edit point through the Lean buffer's edit and applied it
to whatever was ambient.

Q#LN22, criterion 38's span wording, and the ledger are corrected to
describe the deferred design rather than the one that shipped — the
rationale's source, not only the sites quoting it. Acceptance 45j/45k/
45l/45m added; framing rev 10.

Levi Neuwirth 25b07be97b fix(journey): correct Q#JR3, report the post-dispatch buffer, unvacuate two pins
Four review findings, all confirmed against the tree.

Q#JR3 was false. `replace_active_buffer` does not drop the startup
scratch buffer -- its body is one `switch_active_buffer` call, which
reassigns the window's buffer_id and removes nothing. The claim came
from that function's own doc comment, wrong for as long as it has
existed, and rev 5 propagated it into the framing and into new
documentation this branch added. Both comments are corrected here,
because this PR was adding further false references to a claim P4
depends on. Actually removing the stale scratch is buffer-lifetime work
and stays out.

The daemon bootstrap could report the wrong buffer. The directory arm
captured the destination id, ran the resolver chain synchronously, then
returned the captured id -- so a handler that opened something
synchronously through commit_to had already replaced the window's
buffer, and the reply paired one buffer's snapshot with another's
identity. It also returned early, skipping the post-hook revalidation
the framing said stayed active. The arm now re-reads the destination
after dispatch and rehomes through `non_side_target` as the file arm
does. Pinned by a test whose handler claims synchronously.

N11 tested neither RET nor self-insert: it called display_file and
buf:insert directly, so it stayed green with dired's RET binding, its
entry dispatch, and the editor's self-insert path all broken. Both
gestures now go through dispatch_key.

P7 is removed rather than weakened. Q#JR12 has nothing to pin --
`had_file = file.is_some()` and a directory is Some like any other, so
no directory-specific branch exists to break. The old test never armed
restore and hard-coded had_file, so it could not fail against any
implementation.

Also adds the daemon bootstrap pins (N2, N5) and fixes an insertion that
had orphaned a `#[cfg(feature = "crdt")]` from the test it guarded --
which would have made one new test dark and one existing test escape its
gate.

Levi Neuwirth f09f66ce37 feat(journey): open a directory, on one path
Journey Stage 1a's core: `pmacs .` opens the directory instead of
exiting 1, and local startup stops being a second implementation of
path resolution.

`EditorState::open` now calls `EditorCore::resolve_target_buffer` --
the primitive whose own doc comment says it exists "so two
path-normalization, dedup, and hook transactions cannot drift apart",
and which local startup had never been a caller of.

`resolve_target_buffer` returns a typed `ResolvedTarget` rather than
`(BufferId, HookKind)`, with a `Directory` arm checked ahead of the
load. Without it the load runs and fails: `File::open` succeeds on a
directory and `read_to_end` returns EISDIR, which is not `NotFound`, so
the `[new file]` arm never fired.

A directory creates no buffer. It dispatches a resolver chain: the
short-circuit `path.open-directory` hook, which no builtin subscribes
to, and then `pmacs.path.directory_handler`, which dired defaults. The
split is forced rather than chosen -- hook callbacks only append and
builtins load before init.lua, so a subscribing builtin would always
claim before any user listener could run. A raising listener stops the
chain and suppresses the fallback.

The listing is async and the daemon bootstrap is not, so the whole
post-await commit runs inside a new `pmacs.window.commit_to`: it
validates the destination -- frontend live, window live, buffer
unchanged, window replaceable -- BEFORE invoking its callback, then
scopes the acting frontend for its extent. Validating at display time
would be four dired mutations too late.

That scope is deliberately not `InteractiveCommandOrigin`, which does
not reach the core-ambient APIs and is authenticated user-command
authority a background continuation must not acquire.

The dedication rule is extracted into one `window_accepts_buffer`
shared by exact display, the display probe, and the new preflight, with
`incoming: Option<BufferId>` -- `None` means "the replacement does not
exist yet" and refuses a dedicated window.

`display_file` keeps its directory-is-an-error contract and does not
enter the chain; find-file's accept arm depends on it.

Levi Neuwirth a53965474d feat(lean4): the Unicode input method (Arc 8 Stage 4b)
Typing `\alpha` in a Lean 4 buffer gives `α`; `\<>` gives `⟨⟩` with the
point between them. The abbreviation table is vendored from
vscode-lean4 and the expander is a typed-edit consumer registered on
the Stage 4a chain at priority 50, ahead of auto-pairing.

The ordering is load-bearing. 64 abbreviation keys contain a character
in the `lean4` pair set, so with pairing first, typing `\[` would
insert `[]` and corrupt the pending key to `\[]` before the second `[`
arrives — `\[[]]` becomes unreachable. The consumer therefore claims
every keystroke that EXTENDS a pending abbreviation, not only one that
completes an expansion; claiming only completions would hand each
intermediate `[` to pairing by a different route.

The vendored table is an ORDERED SEQUENCE, not a map. Upstream breaks
equal-length ties by source declaration order — 101 prefixes depend on
it, and `\f` resolves through `f<` rather than `f>` — which a
`pairs`-iterated Lua table cannot express. `scripts/regen-lean-abbrev`
takes a vscode-lean4 commit, emits the file with its provenance header,
and aborts on a duplicate key, invalid UTF-8, or a round-trip mismatch.

Undo is cross-peer-degraded on CRDT frontends and that is accepted and
named, not papered over (Q#LN21): `\alpha` arrives as six source-peer
optimistic inserts while the expansion is one daemon-peer replace.
`set_round_trip_input` would fix it and also makes `dispatch_idle`
report false, so RET would stop inserting a newline.

Round 9 corrects three approved acceptance criteria that the real table
contradicts, found by simulating the state machine over all 1,855
entries and re-reading upstream at the pinned commit rather than
re-reading the prose. `\to` is not eager — `top`, `to0` and `toa`
extend it. `\zzzz` expands to `ζzzz ` because `ze`, `zeta` and
`zsqrtd` exist; only `$ % , ; @ W` open no key at all. And `\alpha`'s
undo does not restore `\alpha ` because `alpha` IS eager, so the
terminator is a separate edit. Criteria 38, 41 and 42 now state both
paths, and the false halves are asserted too: they read as correct
until the table is consulted.

Three implementation traps worth the record. The generator's own
round-trip check was broken twice and failed closed both times:
`str.splitlines()` splits on U+2028, which 53 symbols contain, and
escaping through `chr(byte)` produced a latin-1-shaped string that the
UTF-8 write re-encoded. The first check compared in-memory strings and
agreed with itself; it now stages the file, re-reads the bytes from
disk, and renames into place only on a match. And the expansion SHRINKS
the buffer, so the point must be placed explicitly — pairing's
no-cursor-motion rule holds only for an insert AT the cursor, and
without this every self-insert after the first expansion is silently
rejected and the editor looks dead.

25 acceptance tests plus one `--lib` test for the optimistic CRDT
producer (45f), which is where the gate list's `--features crdt` run
reaches it; a crdt-gated integration test would be dark in CI and in
the gates both. Fifteen mutations bite, each failing its target. Three
of these tests were vacuous when first written and biting is what
found them: the abandonment test asserted text a surviving record
would also produce, the re-arm test used an example that never reaches
the re-arm branch, and both switch tests ran through
`find_or_open`'s fresh-load path rather than `buffer.after-switch`.

No protocol change (Q#LN14). Also reconciles the handoff and ledger
for Stage 4a (#179) and adds `lean.abbrev` to COHERENCE.md's
config-registry adoption census, now nine settings.

Levi Neuwirth 23c966cc31 docs(terminal): restate criterion 17's bite for the fixed substrate
Review round 4, P2. A fix can invalidate a test that was never written.

Criterion 17 still specified the pre-round-2 world: remove
`set_round_trip_input` and the optimistic op "passes `ensure_writable()`
and mutates BOTH sides, silently, with no divergence to notice". That
was true while no Lua binding set `read_only`. Since
`set_generated_contents` does, the daemon refuses the op — so only the
frontend's own mirror mutates, and the copies diverge.

The gap matters precisely because 17 is unpinned. A real-GPU test
written to the old spec would hunt for a daemon-side edit that can no
longer occur and pass for the wrong reason, quietly readmitting the
round-2 regression through a test not yet built. The specification is
the artifact under review here, not the code.

Restated around unauthorized MIRROR mutation plus daemon refusal —
divergence — in all four places carrying the obsolete claim: the
criterion itself, 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. `docs/active-work.md` also still
described acceptance 16b as asserting `is_read_only()` is false, which
round 2 flipped.

Why round-trip input stays load-bearing rather than redundant, now
stated wherever the daemon guard is mentioned: a 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 is looking at.

Also recorded, after capturing it properly this time: the gate-run flake
in `cargo test --lib --features crdt` is
`process::tests::setsid_escapee_is_not_reaped_and_teardown_reclaims_readers`
(`active_reader_probe` -> None, "live runtime probe"), ~1 run in 5.
Pre-existing and unrelated — this branch does not touch
`src/process.rs`, the test passes 10/10 standalone and 2017/2017 at
`--test-threads=1`, and it is another instance of the known `drain_until`
trap: draining for `Started` also ticks, and a tick reaps the leader.
That also explains the unattributed "2 failed" run noted in round 2.

Levi Neuwirth a0fb01f24c fix(buffer): fan out generated writes, and clear the history that exists
Review round 3, on the round-2 primitive itself. One lesson covers all
three findings: 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 reached `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
imported the owner's write and their optimistic edits were generated
against content already replaced. The `delete`+`insert` pair this
replaced had done that fan-out for free.

Now applies ONE whole-buffer `Replace`, returns its `Edit`, and notifies
from the binding. The doc comment states the obligation, because the
next owner to adopt the primitive inherits it.

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` exposes no clear,
but needs none: it records only what happens after it is constructed,
the same property `CrdtState::from_bytes` already uses to keep the seed
insert out of undo. `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 keeps
its analysis under a superseded-in-part box rather than being silently
rewritten — its conclusion survives, two of its premises do not.

New pins. acc16d paints the window after a SHRINKING generated write:
stale offsets then point past the buffer end, so the failure is the
reported crash rather than merely stale pixels. acc16e asserts the
refresh is queued for mirrors, through the real copy-mode path;
`crdt`-gated and therefore dark in CI, which is why 16d drives the
binding rather than the terminal. Plus a CRDT 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, and recorded in COHERENCE.md §14: the fan-out obligation
makes `*compilation*`/listview adoption more than a one-line swap.

Levi Neuwirth aef4e98c26 fix(typed-edit): close round-8 review on the consumer chain
Five defects in the chain itself, plus the stale handoff state.

Each consumer now gets its own shallow copy of the typed-edit record.
Handing everyone the same table let a DECLINING consumer rewrite
provenance for the ones behind it, and pairing decides what to close
from `rec.char` — so a forged `char` turned a typed `x` into `x)`.
Every field is a scalar or an opaque id, so a shallow copy is complete.

The fan-out iterates a snapshot of the consumer list. It was iterating
the same array `add_consumer` mutates: a consumer that registered a
lower-priority one shifted itself forward under `ipairs` and ran twice,
and re-registering made that unbounded. Registrations and removals made
during a fan-out now take effect on the next one, stated as a contract
and pinned in both directions.

`tostring` on the caught error moved inside the containment. A Lua
error may be any value, including a table whose `__tostring` throws —
rendering it outside the `pcall` reintroduced exactly the escape the
containment exists to prevent.

Priorities are validated as finite integers in i32 range, matching
`pmacs.completion.register`. NaN is a number and every ordered
comparison with it is false, so a NaN consumer landed wherever the
insertion scan gave up and silently voided the lowest-first ordering
that Q#LN22 depends on.

`add_consumer` returns a handle and `remove_consumer` unregisters it,
reporting whether it was live. Without teardown the chain inherited the
`pmacs.hook.add` callback leak COHERENCE.md §13 already records, and
spread it to every consumer.

Also corrects the rationale the containment was documented with, in the
module, the test, and the framing: an uncontained throw does NOT take
the fan-out's other subscribers down. `run_all_must_succeed`
(src/hook.rs:332) collects errors and continues, so lsp.lua still
flushes didChange. The containment is still required — the throw skips
every later consumer in the chain — but the reason is narrower than
rev 7 claimed.

Criteria 46f (record isolation), 46g (snapshot iteration), and 46h
(lifecycle and priority validation) added; 46d's rationale corrected.
Four new tests, all bite-verified by mutation, each failing only its
target: shared record table (1), live-array iteration (1), unprotected
tostring (1), bare number check (1), no-op removal (2). The suite also
runs green under `--features lua54`.

docs/agent-handoff.md said Stage 4a was awaiting approval while this
branch had it implemented and in review.

Levi Neuwirth 842417200a fix(panel): close Stage 2A review round 3 (2 P1)
**P1-1 — layout invalidation could suppress the authoritative clear.**
Real bug. Both render paths resolved the document identity AFTER the
evaluator ran callbacks, but BOTH outcome arms carry PHASE-1 contexts.
A provider that closes the primary document split changes
`primary_document_window` mid-evaluation, so the filter compared
phase-1 contexts against a replacement identity, matched nothing, and
emitted no clear — leaving stale statusline text on the wire forever.

The identity is now captured BEFORE `evaluate_statusline` runs and
threaded through both paths (the terminal path via `terminal_chrome`).

Pinning it took three attempts, and the two failures are the useful
part:

- `pmacs.window.close()` takes no argument — it closes the ACTIVE
  window. The first version passed a window id that was silently
  ignored, so it closed the panel instead of the document.
- The Lua window API acts on the ACTIVE FRONTEND, so driving it against
  a synthetic semantic view changed nothing at all.
- Closing the only document window is structurally REFUSED (Q#BP6
  forbids a lone side window as a resting state), so the fixture needs
  TWO document windows for the close to be legal.

The test now asserts its own precondition — that the callback really
changed the identity — before asserting the clear, and reproduces the
reported symptom (no `StatuslineSegments` at all) when the fix is
reverted.

**P1-2 — #21 was pinned at the helper, not the producer.** Confirmed:
reverting only the call site inside
`publish_buffer_snapshot_to_replicas` left both the helper test and the
existing socket-pair test green. The helper assertions are removed (with
a note saying why) and replaced by
`snapshot_publication_follows_the_document_under_a_focused_panel`, which
drives the real producer over socket pairs and asserts BOTH directions:
the document buffer's snapshot is delivered while a panel holds focus,
and a panel-only buffer's is not.

Biting that test exposed a defect in the test itself: the delivery read
had no timeout, so a regression made it HANG rather than fail. A hanging
test is strictly worse than a red one — every read now has a timeout.

Levi Neuwirth 8c5b39ef32 fix(buffer): make generated buffers survive undo
Review round 2, P1. Undo could empty the "read-only" snapshot.

`render_snapshot` wrote with bypass_intercept, which leaves ordinary
undo history behind, and `Buffer::undo` reaches the rope through
`ensure_writable` without ever consulting the intercept chain. So a
single `C-/` — or `M-x buffer.undo`, which needs no keymap at all —
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 exactly where undo runs.

Rebinding the undo chords buffer-locally would not have closed this,
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.

Adds `Buffer::set_generated_contents` (Lua:
`pmacs.buffer.set_generated_contents`): lift `read_only`, replace the
contents skipping intercepts, discard the resulting history, re-assert
`read_only`. This ships the framing's deferred immutability lane as ONE
primitive rather than exposing the setter — a bare `set_read_only`
would let a caller lock a buffer it can no longer refresh, which is
precisely why that lane was deferred. Discarding history is
load-bearing twice: it removes what undo would replay, and it stops a
periodically refreshed buffer accumulating rope clones that `read_only`
guarantees nothing can ever pop.

New acceptance 16c drives the real M-x path
(`command.invoke_interactive`), the chord, and redo, and asserts the
owner's own refresh still works — the operation plain `read_only` would
have broken. Acceptance 16b flips from asserting `is_read_only()` is
false to true, because the property it documented is the one that was
wrong. Three `buffer.rs` unit tests cover the primitive directly,
including that ten refreshes leave an empty undo stack.

Bite: restoring the delete+insert render reproduces the report exactly
— `left: Some("")` against the full snapshot — failing 16c and 16b.

Still open, and now named in the framing, COHERENCE.md §14 and the
ledger: `*compilation*` and listview have not adopted the primitive and
remain emptiable by `M-x buffer.undo`; a streaming-friendly variant is
needed for the append case. In CRDT mode `read_only` is what refuses
undo, since loro's UndoManager exposes no clear through `CrdtState`.

Levi Neuwirth 24ca906294 feat(typed-edit): the typed-edit consumer chain (Arc 8 Stage 4a)
`pmacs.editor.take_typed_edit()` is one-shot and per-frontend (Q#AP9):
the first `buffer.after-edit` callback to call it clears the slot, and
every later callback in the same fan-out sees nil. That was survivable
only because auto-pairing was the sole consumer — never a property
anyone chose. A second independent caller would get nil or steal the
record from pairing depending on hook registration order, and
registration order is not a contract.

This makes it one. `builtin/runtime/typed_edit.lua` owns the single
after-edit subscriber that reads the record, and offers that one read to
consumers registered through `pmacs.typed_edit.add_consumer{ name,
priority, fn }`: lowest priority first, ties by registration order, and
the first consumer to return truthy claims the edit and stops the chain.
`pair.lua` becomes that chain's only consumer, at priority 100.

No Lean content. Stage 4b's abbreviation expander is what needs the
ordering guarantee (64 of its 1,855 keys contain a `lean4` pair-set
character, so pairing running first corrupts them), but the chain is
substrate every language runs through, which is why it ships alone —
framing Q#LN10, and §4's rule that no PR in this arc mixes a
cross-cutting substrate change with Lean feature content.

Three design points worth review attention:

- Consumers are called even when the record is nil. "This fan-out
  carried no typed edit" is information a consumer acts on: it is how
  pairing's test seam observes a non-event, and how Stage 4b will
  abandon a pending abbreviation an unrelated edit invalidated. Three
  existing auto-pairing tests fail if the chain skips consumers on nil.
- The chain pcalls each consumer. `buffer.after-edit` is
  all-must-succeed, so a throwing consumer would otherwise fail the
  fan-out for every other subscriber, including lsp.lua's didChange
  flush. Behavior-preserving for pairing, which already never throws.
- Ordered insertion, not `table.sort`, which is not stable in Lua —
  "ties by registration order" is a stated contract, not a coincidence.

`tests/auto_pair_acceptance.rs` is UNCHANGED — zero lines — and its 45
tests pass. That is criterion 46 and the whole no-behavior-change claim;
a suite edited to accommodate the refactor would prove nothing.

`tests/typed_edit_chain_acceptance.rs` adds 9 tests for criteria
46a-46e. Every one is bite-verified by mutation: appending instead of
ordered insert (5 fail), `>=` for the tiebreak (1), re-taking per
consumer (4), ignoring the claim (1), dropping the pcall (1), skipping
nil fan-outs (1 here plus 3 in the untouched auto-pair suite), and
loading the chain after lsp.lua (the Q#AP7 flush test fails, alongside
the two existing pairing ones).

Levi Neuwirth 2eb6218ccd fix(terminal): close review round 1 on copy mode
Four findings, all real, and they rhyme in pairs. Two implementation
defects and two vacuous pins, all four tracing to one root: a name is
not an identity, and a context-free readout is not a state observation.

A foreign buffer carrying the snapshot's name was adopted and then
overwritten. `pmacs.buffer.create` accepts any caller-chosen name and
snapshot writes use bypass_intercept, so found-by-name adoption
clobbered user data — the reviewer reproduced "do not clobber" becoming
23 newlines. Now follows dired's F7 rule: ownership means "in copy
mode's own handle table", never "found by name", and a taken name yields
a `<2>` variant.

Snapshot identity was keyed by terminal NAME.
`TerminalManager::open` uniquifies only the derived name — an explicit
`name = ...` is inserted verbatim — so two valid terminals can share
one, and a name-keyed table handed them a single snapshot: the second
invocation retargeted it, `q` returned to the wrong terminal, and
killing either removed the shared buffer. Identity is now the terminal
buffer, compared in an array, because BufferIdLua implements `__eq` but
each wrapper is a distinct table key: comparison works, hashing does
not. The kill-with-terminal callback now closes over its own record
rather than looking the name up again.

The refresh pins were vacuous. Acceptance 19 compared a quiet
terminal's snapshot against itself and 18 counted buffers, so both
passed with render_snapshot replaced by a no-op. The child is
`exec cat`, so the tests now type a marker into the focused terminal,
require it ABSENT from the existing snapshot, and only then refresh —
via `g` and via re-invocation respectively.

The tail-follow pin could not observe view state.
`TerminalManager::snapshot(buffer_id)` is context-free and always
returns the live screen, so it reported "at the tail" even for a view
forced to the oldest retained row. Now read through
`snapshot_for_view`'s at_bottom and its projected cells.

Adds acceptance 18a (a foreign same-named buffer is never adopted or
clobbered) and 18b (two same-named terminals get two independent
snapshots, each `q` returns to its own source, and killing one leaves
the other's snapshot alive).

Four new 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, which is the vacuity
demonstrated rather than argued; and forcing the view off the tail
fails 20.

Criterion 17 stays a named follow-up, per review agreement, until the
real GPU probe is non-skipping and CI-executed.

Levi Neuwirth ccdf352258 fix(panel): close Stage 2A review round 2 (2 P1, 1 P2)
**P1-1 — the `Invalidated` arm published the panel context on the
document wire.** Real bug, and the live half of the routing defect: the
semantic peer has ONE statusline slot, so emitting an
authoritative-empty payload for every context replaced the document's
with the panel's. Now filtered by document-window identity exactly like
the `Ready` arm; a panel's own clear belongs to `PanelFrame` in 2B.

Pinned by `invalidated_statusline_clears_only_the_document_not_the_panel`,
which reproduces the reported shape — two targets instead of one — when
the filter is removed.

Honest note on the `Ready` arm: its identity selector is **defensive**,
not independently falsifiable today, because the document context is
captured first so "first context for my frontend" happens to pick it.
Rather than leave that as a silent dependency,
`the_semantic_fan_out_captures_the_document_first` pins the order and
says why it matters.

**P1-2 — round-1 finding 3 was not closed; four of my pins were
vacuous.** All four confirmed and fixed:

- The statusline consumer test discarded `render_frame`'s output. It now
  observes the WIRE payload from a v18 peer with a registered provider,
  and asserts non-emptiness so it cannot pass by emitting nothing.
- The terminal test compared two NON-terminal buffers, so both routings
  answered `false`. The document window now holds a REAL terminal, so
  the routes disagree; reverting `semantic_terminal_key` fails it.
- The decorations test used different buffers and an empty selection —
  again the same answer either way. The panel now displays the declared
  buffer with a non-empty selection while the document has none.
- #1/#3/#21 had no discriminating pin at all. Their only production
  caller is `dispatcher_loop`, which no test can drive, so this extracts
  three named seams the loop calls — `document_buffer_to_follow`,
  `document_cursor_byte`, `peer_displays_buffer_as_document` — and pins
  each.

Also newly pinned: #2 the lazy CRDT upgrade (the census's sharpest
case), #7 `Viewport` aligning WITHOUT taking focus, and #9 a focused
terminal panel not suppressing the document viewport.

**Every one of the nine pins was falsified by revert.** Two needed a
second attempt after the first bite came back green.

**P2-3 — stale docs.** `StatuslineEvaluationTarget::Semantic`'s
documentation described evaluating only the focused window; it now
describes the document-plus-side fan-out, the capture order, the
identity-selection requirement, and that `active` reports actual focus.
The ledger's Stage 2A entry is corrected to five commits, 2,014 CRDT
tests, and 16 acceptance tests.

Two clippy findings the refactor introduced were fixed:
`document_buffer_to_follow` is `crdt`-gated to match its only caller,
and the `CursorByte` guard collapses into one `if`.

Levi Neuwirth 1b1e599070 feat(terminal): copy mode over retained scrollback
Stage 2 of docs/terminal-config-and-copy-mode-framing.md (rev 4,
approved). `M-x terminal.copy-mode`, or `C-t` in a terminal buffer —
physically `C-c C-t`, since every unescaped key goes to the child —
materializes the retained scrollback into an ordinary read-only,
path-less buffer, with `g` to re-snapshot and `q` to return.

No protocol change.

Materializing is the whole design. isearch, motion, selection and the
kill ring work with no new substrate because the snapshot is a rope, so
SearchStore and the existing match painting apply unchanged. And "keys
must not reach the child" dissolves structurally rather than being
guarded: the transport arm keys on is_terminal(buffer_id), and a
snapshot is not a terminal, so the arm never fires. The
dispatch-shadow count stays at six and describe-key keeps telling the
truth — asserted directly, since that is the observable difference
between the buffer-local idiom and a shadow.

One serializer, not two (Q#TC7). `copy_retained` builds a whole-range
selection and hands it to `copy_selection_bytes`; a second walk would
re-derive soft-wrap joining, wide-glyph continuation, cluster bytes and
per-row trailing-blank trimming, and the two would drift. Four unit
pins in view.rs assert exact bytes against the same projection fixtures
that pin the serializer itself.

Q#TC6a is implemented as two calls, and the second is the load-bearing
one: an intercept guards dispatch only, and no Lua binding sets
Buffer::read_only, so set_round_trip_input is what keeps a replica
frontend from applying optimistically and emitting an op that would
pass ensure_writable and mutate both sides. Acceptance 16 pins that
UNGATED, because CI never compiles the crdt feature.

Eight of nine criteria. Criterion 17's semantic-frontend end-to-end pin
is deliberately absent: the optimistic apply lives only in
pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs and the headless SemanticClient has no optimistic
path, so a faithful test needs the real GPU binary — the a37
foundation, which CI never compiles, silently returns ok when the
binary is unbuilt, and is load-sensitive. Both halves of the mechanism
are pinned ungated instead (16, and 16b for the hazard); the wire-level
half stays an explicit obligation of the CI crdt-coverage lane.

Substrate fact found while wiring lifecycle: TerminalManager::prune
REACTS to a buffer already gone from the registry rather than removing
one, so a child exiting leaves both the terminal and its snapshot
alive. 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, each failing exactly
one test: removing set_round_trip_input fails acceptance 16 in the
DEFAULT configuration; a naive independent serializer fails all four
unit pins, with the diffs naming each drift mode; making re-invoke
create a fresh buffer fails 18; dropping the kill-with-terminal
teardown fails 18; removing the intercept fails 16b.

COHERENCE.md: §6 gains this as the worked example that a modal-looking
feature need not become a shadow; §11 records the scope="global"
deferral's second live case, making the argument for both registry
deferrals cumulative; §2 step 8 gains copy mode and keeps the
still-missing close command named.

Levi Neuwirth 6b2b0f9dd2 fix(panel): close Stage 2A review round 1 (4 P1, 2 P2)
Integrates canonical `main` @ `cf54270` and closes every finding.

**P1-1 — a stale document `Pointer` stole focus from the panel.** Real
bug. `align_primary_document_window`'s unknown-buffer arm returned
`Some(window)` despite aligning nothing, so #8's activation focused the
document *before* `dispatch_pointer` rejected the mismatched buffer. It
now returns `None`: alignment did not happen, so no caller may treat it
as a document gesture.

Pinned through `handle_dispatcher_event` — the real dispatcher seam —
because the defect lived in the PAIR of alignment and activation, not
in either alone. **The first version of that test was vacuous**: an
unregistered session is dropped at `daemon.rs:1962` (#148's
membership check) before the aligner runs, so it passed with the bug
restored. It now registers a real semantic session and fails with
exactly the reported symptom, focus moving `WindowId(2)` →
`WindowId(3)`.

**P1-2 — the approved A2A-2 fan-out was missing.** The semantic target
returned one context. It now captures the primary document PLUS the
visible side window, each provider invoked once, with a
derived-hidden side omitted (Q#BP2b — no mode line to paint, so no
callback should run for it). The acceptance asserts `windows.len() == 2`.

This exposed a second defect the finding did not name: the consumer
selected segments with `.find(|w| w.context.frontend_id == frontend_id)`
— the FIRST context for the frontend. With two contexts that silently
depended on capture order and could have shipped the panel's mode-line
text as the document status band. `emit_statusline_segments` now takes
the document `WindowId` and selects on window identity.

**P1-3 — the census suite tested the authority, not the consumers.**
Confirmed: reverting a producer to `active_window_for` left all ten
tests green. Added consumer-level pins that drive the real producers
through `SemanticRenderState::render_frame` with a panel focused, plus
the terminal-declaration guard. Bite-verified: reverting the
`LineNumbers` routing now fails
`consumer_line_numbers_follow_the_document_not_the_focused_panel`.

**P1-4 — main integrated.** The textual conflict was `docs/active-work.md`
(both lanes rewrote the same region; the terminal-config lane is kept
whole and the bottom-panel heading updated). `src/editor.rs` auto-merged,
and the full gate suite was rerun on the merge result.

**P2-5 — the painter test was vacuous.** A fixed-point check that
survived deleting `window.text_view.render`. It now asserts each of the
four extracted outputs actually appears: buffer TEXT, the line-number
GUTTER (with line numbers explicitly enabled, rather than dropping the
assertion), the window MODE LINE, and a returned caret. Bite-verified
by deleting the render call.

**P2-6 — the stale fold-projection claim is corrected.**
`src/window.rs`'s `fold_projection` doc no longer asserts that a
semantic session never enters `paint_frame`; it records that the panel
band breaks that premise and that the extracted painters take the map
as a parameter.

Gates on the merge result: fmt clean; workspace clippy clean; 1,832
default + 2,010 CRDT library tests; Stage 2A acceptance 13; Stage 1 46;
statusline 8; m11_5 2; GPU initial target 14; terminal config 12;
folding Stage 2 48; vterm 1/2 10 / 6; M4 121; required GPU 202;
`git diff --check` clean. `vterm_stage3_acceptance::a37` remains the
pre-existing flake measured on the base commit.

Levi Neuwirth 786de69d38 fix(lsp): close round-six Lean fallback gaps
Make command-time attachment healing cancel an armed terminal restart
before replacing the server, while keeping request-only lookup pure and
restart-safe.

Track config-driven server ownership privately, bound every fallback
server per SID, scope no-swap retirement to the failed root, and route
the shipped Lean diagnostics command through the safe resolver while
waiting for initialization.

Add direct acceptance counterexamples for all five review findings and
record the sixth-round verification and vacuity lesson.

Levi Neuwirth d7ad01b535 feat(panel): extract the per-window painter + Stage 2A acceptance
Bottom-panel Stage 2A, second half (Q#BP8, Q#BP17). Still no protocol
change and no behavior change: `paint_frame` builds the same fold map
it always did and passes it in, so grid rendering is unchanged.

Two extractions, both taking the fold map as a **parameter** rather
than building it:

- `prepare_window_cursor_visible` — the active-window auto-scroll
  clamp. The panel band (2B) runs this for its own window when that
  window owns focus, and leaves a passive panel's `view_top` alone.
- `paint_window_content` — the per-window document body: text, gutter,
  overlays, selection, and the mode line. The panel paints into a
  panel-sized grid at the same origin-agnostic `Viewport`, so this is
  that body lifted out, not a second painter (Bet B2').

The parameter is the point (Q#BP17). Folding built its per-window map
ungated on the premise that "a semantic session never enters
`paint_frame`", which the panel band breaks. The panel path must pass
`None` for a frontend whose `fold_projection` is false, and must not
call `EditorCore::fold_map_for_window` — that gates on the **active**
frontend, which is right for command-time reckoning and wrong for
painting another frontend's panel.

`tests/bottom_panel_stage2a_acceptance.rs` — 10 tests. The negative
half is the load-bearing half, so Projection assertions are paired
with focus-class assertions taken in the SAME state:

- `focus_and_projection_disagree_in_the_same_state` is the key one:
  with a panel focused, the focus authority must name the panel while
  the projection authority names the document. Routing the focus class
  through `primary_document_window` fails this even though every
  Projection test still passes.
- The statusline pair pins the split: the LOOKUP resolves the document
  window while `active` reports actual focus, with a non-vacuity twin
  that flips `active` back to true when focus returns.
- The extraction pair pins cells, the returned cursor, the focused
  window's `view_top`, AND a passive window's untouched scroll —
  identical cells alone would not catch a clamp that moved to the
  wrong window on a single-window frame.
- `the_panel_fixture_really_builds_a_side_window` pins the fixture's
  own precondition, since every other test is worthless if
  `focused_panel` silently produced an ordinary split.

One crdt-gated caller of the old `align_semantic_window_to_buffer` was
updated; it compiles only under `--features crdt`, which is the
config CI never runs.

1,832 default + 2,009 CRDT library tests, 10 new acceptance; fmt and
workspace clippy clean.

Levi Neuwirth 8e8f281f0e fix(terminal): close review round 1 on Stage 1
Five findings, all real. The blocker and both majors are the same
mistake in three places: a claim asserted somewhere cheaper than where
it actually lives.

COHERENCE.md was stale in four places, not the three reported. Step 8
still read "no keybinding" and §11 still read "five settings", but §6's
dispatch table also still cited `is_terminal_escape_chord` — a symbol
this branch deletes. §25 requires that update to ride the PR, so a PR
changing audited ground truth has to re-grep the audit for its own
symbols, not only for its topic.

Acceptance 5 asserted a registry round-trip, which is a test of the
registry: it stayed green with the setting's only consumer deleted. It
now opens a real terminal whose child overflows the 24-row screen,
scrolls the view to its oldest retained row, and asserts LINE001 is
present at 10,000 and absent at 0.

Acceptance 8a waited for the session count to fall, which the rejected
editor-side cache map satisfies exactly — a map with no purge hook
leaks while sessions drain. Adds `TerminalManager::escape_caches()`, the
lifetime half of Q#TC4c's contract that `escape_parses` cannot cover.

`table.sort` over `pmacs.terminal.profiles` raised "attempt to compare
number with string" on the unknown-profile path whenever the user's
table held both a string and a numeric key, replacing the exact
diagnostic being asked for; `%q` raised likewise on a non-string
`profile` argument. Both are partial functions applied to user input on
a diagnostic path.

Also corrects the framing's status line, and a status message whose
embedded whitespace run had survived a rustfmt reflow.

Three new bites, each falsified by revert: deleting the scrollback
consumer fails acc5 and only acc5; restoring the raw-key sort
reproduces the comparison error verbatim; and implementing the rejected
map fails the new acc8a at left: 2, right: 1 while passing the old
session-count version.

Merges githubsucks/main @ ccf29e3.

Levi Neuwirth 19f48d46c0 fix(lsp,lean): bound the fallback's own failure; heal at point of use
Round 5 review: one P1, a frontend scope hole, and three P2s.

**1. A fallback that SPAWNS and then dies retried forever.** The
once-per-buffer guard bounds calls to `_attach_buffer`, not the server
those calls produce. `ensure_server` still never forwards `cfg.restart`,
so the fallback inherits `OnCrash`; an executable that exits before
`initialize` is respawned by the manager with no attempt ceiling —
silently, because `latched` has already disabled the primary's failure
poll. The fallback now gets its own one-shot die-before-initialize
watch, which retires it (ending the respawn loop) and reports.

The prior failing-fallback test used a NONEXISTENT executable, so it
only ever exercised synchronous ENOENT. To reach "spawned, then died"
the fixture has to actually spawn.

**2. Simultaneous frontends.** Both repair triggers read the ambient
`pmacs.window.buffer()`, and the daemon restores `active_frontend` to
the last-dispatched frontend before `tick_processes` — so a Lean buffer
active in ANOTHER frontend receives no `buffer.after-switch` here and
stays stale after its server is globally retired.

Fixed at the seam that is frontend-agnostic: **make consumption safe.**
`attached_for_active` now rebuilds rather than returning a record whose
server is dead, and `attachment_for_request` reports none (it must not
perturb LSP state, so it cannot rebuild). Whichever frontend runs a
command is the active one while it runs, so healing at the point of use
reaches every buffer no eager sweep can. This also closes the half where
a dead attachment was handed to a command and the request vanished.

**3. The retirement sweep stopped user-managed servers.** Selecting on
`language_id == "lean4"` also names servers the user spawned from
`init.lua`, which are not derived from `pmacs.lsp.config.lean4`. It now
keys on the `default-lean4` label `ensure_server` stamps — the
derivation discriminator.

**4. Repair ran even when no swap occurred.** `swap_to_fallback()`
returning false left `latched` true, so the next tick retried the
UNCHANGED configuration and reported it as a fallback failure. Split
into `probe.fallback_installed`: repair exists to apply a swap, so no
swap means nothing to apply.

**5. The once-per-buffer assertion counted table keys**, which cannot
distinguish "once per buffer" from "every tick for one buffer" —
cardinality stays 1 either way. Replaced with a numeric attempt counter;
the bite reports 174 attempts against the expected 1.

Five bites, each against 7c37bdc: no fallback watch -> attempt reaches
4; retire by language_id -> the user's server is stopped; gate repair on
`latched` -> a repair is attempted with no swap; drop the
once-per-buffer guard -> 174 vs 1; hand back a dead attachment -> a
command receives a `stopped` server.

Two more vacuity shapes recorded in the ledger (8 and 9): counting
distinct keys cannot bound repeated work, and a nonexistent executable
cannot reach any post-spawn failure.
