Reserve the additive v21 panel schema without advertising it in the
server-first production handshake. Pin a real shipped-v20 client attach,
make the two aggregate-budget ratchets exactly one byte over, and update
the framing, coherence audit, handoff, and volatile lane record.
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`.

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.

Vterm Stage 3 — the final vterm stage. A semantic frontend can now host a
terminal: the daemon ships complete validated cell grids, and pmacs-gpu
renders them with fixed-cell geometry, its own input path, and no document
projection at all.
Protocol v19 appends three variants after their enums' final v18 members:
InstanceMessage::TerminalFrame (daemon-gated), and FrontendEvent::
TerminalResize / TerminalPointer (frontend-gated). It is the first bump to
gate in both directions, so criterion 28 pins each filter independently and
byte pins on StatuslineSegments and MenuPointer guard the placements.
pmacs-protocol gains src/terminal.rs: the shared row/column/visible-cell/
grapheme/metadata bounds, TerminalProcessState, TerminalSelectionSpan, and
TerminalFrame::validate — the ONE structural policy the daemon runs before
emission and the frontend runs after decode. src/terminal/* re-exports them
so no duplicate type exists, and unicode-width becomes a workspace dependency
so the screen and the validator measure glyph columns with one table. A new
8 MiB aggregate glyph bound keeps the largest legal frame (measured:
13,437,863 bytes) under the unchanged 16 MiB transport cap rather than
widening every connection's allocation ceiling.
The semantic producer suppresses the whole document family for a terminal
buffer while keeping the status band, theme, font, statusline, menu, and
minibuffer, and compares the complete ordered payload rather than
screen_generation — scroll, selection, and process state all change without
advancing it.
Two things the framing did not spell out, both found by the real-daemon
acceptance:
The Viewport gate keys on the authenticated source's ACTIVE buffer, not the
buffer the message names. Viewport also aligns the window to what it
declares, so a stale document viewport in flight when a command opened a
terminal dragged the frontend straight back off it: the window oscillated,
every terminal declaration was refused, and no frame ever arrived, with
nothing logged anywhere.
The producer clears terminal mode on every exit path. The daemon uses that
flag to suppress CursorByte and the presence sweep, so an early return that
left it set kept both suppressed after the frontend returned to a document.
pmacs-gpu/src/terminal.rs is a pure cell-space paint planner, unit-testable
without a GPU. The renderer builds one shaped buffer per text run, so a wide
or cluster glyph's advance can never choose the next column's origin.
Criterion 37 needed a seam rather than a fixture: pmacs-gpu depends only on
pmacs-protocol, so attach::connect's reader sink was generalized and a
--headless-probe mode added. The acceptance drives a real daemon, a real
/bin/sh child, the real attach client, and real composited pixels in one
path — which is how both defects above were found.
