Levi Neuwirth 18d481b046 docs: record the PTY terminate diagnostic lane in the ledger
The ledger's own update protocol requires a lane for volatile work, and
PR #176 had none: branch, worktree, review state, and verification were
all missing.

Records why the lane ships a diagnostic rather than a fix -- three
rejected tolerance designs, the two facts that killed the original
argument (group=true is rejected for PTY mode so the reap ledger never
applies to that path, and the ledger comment asserts EPERM cannot happen
rather than ruling that it means dead), and that the CI evidence never
established the child had exited.

Also records the round-1 test fixes and the four verified bites, so a
reader can tell which assertions are load-bearing.

Levi Neuwirth 40f7f81690 test(process): pin exact diagnostic values and drop the timing-dependent sleeps
Round-1 review found both test weaknesses.

The exited-child tests used a fixed 300 ms sleep as proof the child had
exited, which on a loaded runner can be false and would turn them into
spurious failures. nix's waitid is unavailable on macOS and libc::waitid
would need unsafe, which the crate forbids, so the tests now synchronise
on the observation under test: a bounded loop that drives the production
diagnostic until it reports the leader as exited. Each failing attempt
leaves the record untouched because the failure path returns before any
bookkeeping, so the loop is side-effect free, and it is strictly stronger
than a sleep because it observes the actual state rather than assuming it.

The assertions were substring checks -- target=-, expected_group=-,
leader=exited( -- which a hardcoded target or a wrong exit code would
satisfy. They are now exact message equality built from the pid the
kernel actually assigned and the errno's own Display, and the one-event
test asserts the surviving event carries exit code 7 rather than any
terminal event. The group test also spawns /bin/sleep directly rather
than through a shell, since a shell may place the command in a different
foreground process group than the one being asserted.

Levi Neuwirth 62316a9ced fix(process): make a failing kill describe itself (Q#PD1)
A failing kill in ProcessSupervisor::signal reported an errno and
nothing else, which is not enough to diagnose the macOS CI failure that
prompted this lane: three different hypotheses about that EPERM produce
the same message, and the fix each one implies is different.

The error now carries five facts as separate fields: the target source
(which branch of signal_target ran), the target kind and value, the
spawn-time group for a group-directed signal, the errno, and the
spawned leader's real try_wait state.

Keeping the target and the leader apart is the whole point. For a PTY
the signal goes to the terminal's foreground process group, read from
the tty at signal time, while the leader is the child that was spawned.
Those are different entities whenever job control has moved the
terminal, and three rejected designs for this code were unsound
precisely because they concluded something about one from the other.
The report states both and concludes nothing.

The disposition is unchanged. Every call that failed before still
fails, with no state transition and no reap-ledger arming. That is
asserted directly rather than assumed, because it is what separates
this from the tolerance rules review rejected.

Q#PD3, stated narrowly: this is not a pure message change. Consulting
try_wait reaps an exited child and caches its status, so the child may
be reaped earlier than it otherwise would be. That is observably safe
because portable-pty 0.9.0 returns a std::process::Child on Unix and
delegates try_wait straight to it, so the status is cached and poll_one
still sees it -- but safe by argument is not safe by assertion, so a
test forces a kill failure against the real PTY child and then checks
that exactly one terminal event survives.

Q#PD4: the test seam injects the kill attempt's result only, never the
observation. Target selection, the real ChildHandle::try_wait against
the real child, and the error construction all run unmodified; a
stubbed observation would bypass the code path under test.

Levi Neuwirth dd581cd90c docs: frame the PTY terminate diagnostic (revision 4)
A docs-only PR (#172) failed Test (macos-latest / luajit) on
acc28_child_input_and_the_c_c_escape_work_unchanged_in_a_panel with
"kill: EPERM: Operation not permitted" raised out of terminate. A docs
diff cannot cause that, main was green at the PR's exact base, and three
other PRs passed the same job.

This framing reaches revision 4 after three review rounds, and what it
proposes is much smaller than what it started with. Revisions 1 to 3 each
proposed a tolerance rule -- treat some errno as success -- and each was
unsound in the same way: they concluded something about a process from
something that was not about that process. Revision 1 concluded from an
errno alone, which says only that a syscall failed. Revision 2 concluded
from the spawned leader while a PTY signal targets the tty's foreground
process group, which diverges from the leader exactly when job control is
in use. Revision 3 corrected EPERM but kept group-directed ESRCH, which
proves only that the selected foreground group vanished, not that the
leader exited.

So no tolerance rule lands. The disposition is preserved exactly: every
failing call still fails, with no state transition and no ledger arming.
What lands is that the failure explains itself, recording the target
source and value, the spawn-time pgid or leader pid, the errno, and the
leader's real try_wait state as five separate facts. Every candidate fix
is decidable from those together and none is decidable from the errno
alone.

Two claims are stated more narrowly than earlier revisions had them.
Consulting try_wait reaps an exited child and caches its status, so this
is not "strictly additive" -- it is "no disposition change", with an
event-count test pinning that poll_one still emits exactly one exit
event. And the test seam injects the kill attempt's result only, never
the observation, so the real ChildHandle::try_wait runs against the real
child; a stubbed observation would bypass the path under test.

Parked with their reasons: all tolerance rules, terminate becoming
idempotent for an already-reaped process (an independent fix answering a
different failure), and signal_target's read-then-kill of tcgetpgrp,
which is the most likely real fix site.

The lane closes when this lands rather than waiting for the flake to
recur; the next occurrence carries its own evidence under whoever's PR.

Levi Neuwirth 4fbd47f025 docs: refresh the handoff's Stage 2 status (COHERENCE §25)
`docs/agent-handoff.md` §1 still said Stage 2 "needs its own
re-framing". It is framed, so that line would be false on `main` the
moment this branch merges.

It now records the approved shape — protocol v21, two serial slices
(2A census routing + painter extraction, then 2B wire/projection/band/
capability flip), parent acceptance 37-55 still authoritative — and
carries the census classification rule itself, since that is the fact
the ledger previously got wrong and the one a future reader is most
likely to re-derive incorrectly.

Levi Neuwirth 49757e51a8 docs: bottom-panel Stage 2 framing (revision 4)
Closes review round 3 — 1 blocking, 1 high, 1 medium.

**R3-1 (blocker) — the call-site table contradicted the source.** The
three-boundary model was right; five rows of its classification were
not, and each was a real defect:

- `:6140` is `completion_dropdown_layout` — DOCUMENT completion
  placement, deriving the space below the anchor line. Classified
  status-owned, it would let completion overlap the panel.
- `:7195` and `:7212` are the `status_buffer` / `status_left_buffer`
  `TextBounds.top` — status text bounds, classified document-owned.
- `:7351` clips global minibuffer CANDIDATE glyphs to the dropdown's
  band anchor; classified document-owned, they would be clipped
  against a boundary the dropdown does not sit above.
- `:8561` (`edge_scroll_direction`, document edge scrolling) was
  missing entirely, leaving it tied to the old bottom.
- `:8077` is `code_caret_rect_in_clip` — caret clipping, not
  completion placement. Its class was right, its label wrong.

Every production site is now individually verified against the source
and tabulated with what it actually is. The census is stated as
arithmetic a reader can check: 29 matches = 20 production + 1
definition + 8 test sites.

Root cause recorded in the revision history: rev 3's table was built
from a `grep | head -20` over 29 matches, which is precisely why
`:8561` vanished. The minibuffer's status-owned status is now argued
from Q#BP14b rather than assumed — it is global, bufferless chrome
anchored to the status band, so all four of its sites stay with the
band.

**R3-2 (high) — clamps preserved.** The three equations permitted
negative coordinates on a surface shorter than its chrome, where
today's `text_area_bottom` clamps with `.max(0.0)`. All three now
clamp at zero, which keeps the "exact formula" exact exactly where it
matters most.

**R3-3 (medium) — attachment rejection classified SHARED.**
`validate_cells` also rejects `cell.attachment.is_some()`
(`terminal.rs:305`), whose error text reads "which terminals never
use" (`:190-191`) — phrased as a terminal-specific fact, which is why
rev 3's "exact split" missed it. Panels implement no attachment
rendering in Stage 2, so a `PanelFrame` carrying one describes a
surface the GPU would silently not draw; shared rejection fails closed
on the producer side instead. The message is reworded grid-neutral
when it moves, and giving panels attachment rendering later moves the
rejection back deliberately rather than by default.

A2B-4 now names the counts on both sides (twelve document-owned move,
eight status-owned do not) and carries the three symptom-bearing rows
that a plausible misclassification produces. §9 records that the GPU
three-boundary split belongs to 2B, not 2A — it is only observable
once a band can be installed.

Levi Neuwirth 857a86ff59 docs: bottom-panel Stage 2 framing (revision 3)
Closes review round 2 — 1 blocking, 2 high, 1 medium — decides both
remaining open items, and re-integrates canonical `main` @ `ccf29e3`
(#172 + #157; documentation plus one `src/buffer.rs` regression test,
no protocol or Stage 2 source anchor moved).

**R2-1 (blocker) — the seam is three boundaries, not one.** Rev 2 asked
for a single document-bottom accessor. That is wrong: once a panel is
installed the present single value must DIVERGE, because several of its
consumers must not move at all. `text_area_bottom`
(`pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs:8490`) is today `status_band_top`,
`geometry_capacity_bottom`, and `document_text_bottom` at once. Rev 3
defines all three, classifies every one of its ~19 call sites as
status-owned / document-owned / geometry, and records that four sites
rev 2 named (`:3175`, `:3185`, `:6601`, `:6607`) consume a status-band
HEIGHT and no bottom coordinate at all, while the status background
`:5908` and status text `:7134`/`:7922` must stay at the physical
window bottom.

The acceptance is now a contrast assertion: installing a panel moves
every document-owned consumer WHILE the status band stays
pixel-identical. "Everything moved" alone is passed by a blanket
rewrite of the helper, which is exactly the wrong implementation.

**R2-2 (high) — epoch exactness.** `accept_frame_geometry` returns
`Advanced | Duplicate | Rejected` instead of a boolean that cannot
separate reconcile-needed from already-current from stale; if a boolean
is ever kept internally it must be named `advanced`, since `Duplicate`
is also accepted. Rev 2's exhaustion wording permitted retaining stale
geometry, which is not fail-closed — a real resize after exhaustion
would keep painting a panel sized to disowned geometry. The grid path
now clears `frame_geometry` to unknown and reconciles hidden, and the
frontend takes a terminal latch so a retained matching `Present` cannot
resurrect the band; only a fresh session clears it.

**R2-3 (high) — parent acceptance 52 splits.** 2A has no semantic panel
projection, so it can only prove the extracted painter honors an
explicit `None` map plus the `src/window.rs:562` comment fix. The real
contract is production-reachable only in 2B and is reasserted there
beside 42/43/44.

**R2-4 (medium) — touched gates named**: `statusline_segments_acceptance`,
`m11_5_semantic_acceptance`, `gpu_initial_target_acceptance`,
`gpu_font_acceptance`, beside the vterm, folding, and GPU suites.

Open items decided: `BASE_DIVIDER_HEIGHT = 4.0` at scale 1.0, scaled by
`FontMetrics::scale`, whole strip painted `ui.divider` and used as the
exact hover/drag hit rect; `TEXT_TOP` stays `16.0` unscaled, with
Q#BP15a's "all quantities use the frontend's current scale" narrowed to
font-derived metrics and the divider. Wholesale surface-inset/DPI
scaling is recorded as separate work, not smuggled in.

The ledger's bottom-panel lane keeps its census correction and gains
the three-boundary one.

Levi Neuwirth 69f9a1bdf9 docs: bottom-panel Stage 2 framing (revision 2)
Closes review round 1 — 2 blocking, 3 high, 3 revision points — and
rebases the ground truth onto `main` @ `d152120`.

Both blockers were rev 1 asserting something the parent framing
already decided otherwise:

- **R1-1.** Rev 1 said all 23 census reads route through
  `primary_document_window`. Q#BP14 routes only the **Projection**
  class that way; focus/input (#13-#15, #23), focus chrome and
  surface-routed (#16-#19), and focus/session (#20) keep their own
  authorities. Rev 1's rule would have broken remote-op validation and
  application, `DispatchIdle`, presence, focused search/menu/completion
  routing, and terminal bell ownership. §3.2 restores the four classes
  as a table and the acceptance asserts each separately — the
  focus-class assertions are the load-bearing half, since a test that
  only proves "the document is used" passes with them wrongly
  rerouted.
- **R1-2.** The three `src/statusline.rs` active reads have two
  dispositions, not one. Only `:644` selects the wrong window; `:629`
  and `:675` must keep tracking actual focus, because grid contexts
  need a truthful `active`, revalidation must notice a focus change,
  and parent acceptance 42 requires a document provider to be able to
  observe `active = false` while the panel is focused.

The three high findings:

- Q#BP2S1 resolves to frontend-owned epochs (option 1) — a font or
  scale transaction can need to invalidate an old `PanelFrame` while
  the derived `CellSize` is identical, which daemon value dedup cannot
  detect. Rev 2 adds the four-row transition table, splits grid
  allocation from semantic acceptance into two APIs rather than one
  ambiguous method, moves the grid allocator off `saturating_add` to
  checked-with-fail-closed, and defines the initial epoch and both
  exhaustion behaviors. Rev 1's "rejects a lower-or-equal epoch
  carrying different data" was itself wrong: a lower epoch carrying
  identical data is still stale.
- The `panel_capable` flip is narrowed to an authenticated semantic
  session negotiated at **v21 or later**. Denying a v20 peer the new
  events is insufficient if the daemon still places its window in a
  side panel it cannot render — the gate is on placement.
- Parent acceptance criteria 37-55 are declared authoritative and
  mapped to slices 2A/2B, with rev 1's eleven drafts demoted to
  refinements. The painter-extraction criterion now pins cells, the
  returned cursor, the focused window's `view_top` mutation, and
  passive-window state.

All four scout obligations are closed (§5), and the pixel formula is
treated as contract work, not implementation detail:

- The shared/terminal-only validator boundary is named exactly.
- Four new outbox tail-coalescing tags beside the existing four.
- **`State::mono_advance` is unsafe to adopt**: absent a `FontFacts`
  probe it samples the document's first shaped glyph, which would make
  panel columns document-dependent. The declaration uses the existing
  stable normal-face `probe_mono_advance` instead, and declares zero
  usable geometry when it returns `None`.
- `BASE_DIVIDER_HEIGHT` does not exist. Rev 2 decides its scaling and
  requires **one** document-bottom accessor routing every consumer
  (caret, hits, minimap, terminal geometry, clipping, edge scrolling)
  — a second unrouted seam is precisely the Stage 1 `Layout::compute`
  two-caller defect. The concrete base value is left open for round 2.

Also: the coherence statement now names journey steps 7-10 instead of
claiming none, and drops rev 1's overclaim that this advances
background-work visibility — a panel gives output a placement but adds
no join key to COHERENCE §9's four disjoint activity planes.

The ledger's bottom-panel lane is updated from "no branch and no
framing yet" to the framing's real state, and carries an explicit
correction: that entry was itself the source of rev 1's census
mis-statement.

Factual corrections: `InitialTargetResult` is at `message.rs:1145`;
`primary_document_window` has four references and two production paths
(`daemon.rs:1639`, and `daemon.rs:2998` via `primary_document_buffer`,
which is census #22); fifteen PRs merged since the parent's last
re-scout, not eleven.

Levi Neuwirth c2eeb60dc7 docs: bottom-panel Stage 2 framing (revision 1)
The re-framing `docs/bottom-panel-framing.md` rev 4 §2 requires before
Stage 2 (the GPU panel band) is implemented. Re-scouted against
canonical `main` @ `5aa9044`, protocol v20.

It does not restate the parent's decisions; it records what the
re-scout found. Every source anchor Stage 2 inherits had moved, but
none of the parent's mechanical model was falsified. Two facts held
and are load-bearing: protocol is still v20, so Q#BP9 resolves to
**v21** with no reservation needed, and both byte pins
(`InstanceMessage::InitialTargetResult`,
`FrontendEvent::TerminalPointer`) are still their enums' final
variants.

Four findings:

- **Q#BP2S1, new and open.** Stage 1 landed a daemon-side geometry
  epoch allocator (`declare_frame_geometry`), but Q#BP15a specifies a
  frontend-owned epoch echoed by every `Present`. The landed allocator
  also dedups on value and uses `saturating_add`, which is neither
  wrapping nor the fail-closed the framing asks for. Three resolutions
  are stated with a recommendation.
- **The §1.3 census is essentially unrouted.** Stage 1 built the
  `primary_document_window` seam but it has one production caller;
  ~80 direct `.active` reads remain. This is Stage 2's bulk, not its
  tidy-up, and the stage plan sequences it first.
- **The statusline active read is three sites, not one.**
- **Four scout obligations are still open** and are named rather than
  papered over, including the GPU-side pixel formula inputs.

Also carries the staged plan, draft acceptance criteria, the coherence
impact per `COHERENCE.md` §20 (§14 is the section it serves), and four
questions for the user.

Levi Neuwirth adf10cc9c3 docs: record the inline-math slice (#158) as landed
Brings the three required docs current after #158 merged, and discharges
the follow-up that framing named for itself.

COHERENCE.md section 16 audits the claim that the GPU frontend exceeds
the TUI "under real divergence pressure" without a privileged frontend
emerging. Inline math is the sharpest instance of that so far -- the GPU
typesets $...$ while the TUI shows LaTeX source, and the TUI fallback is
a named deferral. Section 25 makes that update ride the PR, so the
enumerated list gains the case along with what keeps it inside the rule:
the slice reserves no protocol version and adds no wire surface, so the
divergence is presentational and both frontends read the same model.

docs/inline-math-framing.md carried a licence error the slice framing
flagged in its own section 9 and deliberately did not fix in-branch,
since the parent is a merged document. Latin Modern Math is under the
GUST Font License, not the OFL; the row now says so and records the
~717 KiB bundled size.

docs/agent-handoff.md records the landing and re-anchors section 1 to
d152120. The bullet leads with the facts a fresh agent would otherwise
have to rediscover: the whole slice lives in pmacs-gpu because pmacs-gpu
depends only on pmacs-protocol and never on pmacs; the v0 subset is 34
Greek symbols, sub/superscript and \frac; an unsupported command fails
the WHOLE span back to source, so most inline spans in a real paper
still show LaTeX by design; and math is suppressed while the caret is
inside its span.

docs/active-work.md removes the merged lane per its own update protocol
and adds a Closed entry. Four things there are reusable beyond this arc:
a stale frontend binary is invisible from the source tree, so diagnose
with strings on the binary rather than by re-reading a checkout that is
already current; the dangerous integration was the one that did NOT
conflict, so decide from the shared-file set rather than from whether
git complained; integration is proved by predicting the other side's
test-count delta and checking it; and m4_5_basedpyright has no timeout,
hangs forever, and is intermittent, so an earlier clean sweep proves
nothing. It also corrects a claim I recorded on main: the branch's
missing CI was not an unidentified cause -- a conflicting PR builds no
merge ref, so no pull_request run is created.

Docs only; no code changes.

Levi Neuwirth a72ce72349 Merge canonical main into the bottom-panel landed-doc lane
`main` moved through #158-#166 (Lean 4 Stage 2, COHERENCE.md, find-file,
the dired framing and Stage 1, the GPU terminal input fix) while this
documentation branch waited. Both required docs conflicted; neither
conflict was a code signal.

Resolution:

- `docs/active-work.md`: main's ledger is the base — every lane it has
  gained since this branch was cut is kept verbatim. Only the
  bottom-panel lane is replaced with this branch's "Stage 1 MERGED;
  Stage 2 (GPU band) is next" section, and only the bottom-panel entry
  is added to "Closed since the last snapshot".
- `docs/agent-handoff.md`: main's version is the base. This branch's §1
  bottom-panel bullet, its §1 roadmap Arc 7 entry (which also records
  that DAP is now unblocked), and its four §5 ops lessons are inserted
  at their anchors.

One repair rides along. Main's `docs/agent-handoff.md` carried a
garbled fragment at §1: a duplicated, truncated "GPU initial target
LANDED — #148" bullet whose body was the tail of the old head-of-`main`
anchor bullet, leaving the `SUPPORTED=[6..=20]` protocol enumeration
orphaned mid-sentence. The fragment is removed and the enumeration is
restored as its own bullet.

No code changes; the merged tree's non-doc content is main's.

Levi Neuwirth 6ad9f7e788 docs: record the third integration and the basedpyright sweep hang
Third merge of main into the lane, at b889873 (GPU terminal input #166).
Unlike the first two this one produced NO conflict -- and it is the case
that shows why a clean git merge-tree is not a reason to skip
integrating. #166 lands 41 lines in pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs, the same
heavily-rewritten file as the first integration; the two edits merged
silently only because they sit in different regions of it (#166 is
entirely in the headless probe, this lane rewrites the render path).
Merging the PR on that clean auto-merge would have shipped a combination
no gate had run.

Reconciliation, run against what #166 actually added rather than against
a pass/fail: it adds 3 library tests, 2 to vterm_stage3_acceptance, and
0 to pmacs-gpu. Predicted lib 1,826 -> 1,829, CRDT 2,003 -> 2,006, GPU
unchanged at 202; that is exactly what ran. Suite count 91 -> 92 is
#161's new lsp_multi_root_acceptance binary. All three sides' markers
verified live in the shared file.

Also records an ops trap that cost hours this session:
m4_5_basedpyright_initializes_and_negotiates_encoding does not time out,
it hangs forever, parking a --workspace sweep at 38 of 92 suites with a
live basedpyright langserver child. The per-suite M4 gate already skips
it; the workspace sweep needs the same flag.

Levi Neuwirth b3c8230a84 docs: record the second main integration and its gate rerun
Main advanced twice inside one review round (#161, then #166), the
second landing while the first integration's sweep was still running.
The ledger now names both integrations, how each doc conflict was
resolved, and the verification numbers for the twice-merged tree -- plus
the lesson that a lane in review against a fast-moving main reruns its
gates per integration, not per push.

Levi Neuwirth 1c9904e217 Merge canonical main (#166) into the dired Stage 1 lane
Main moved again while this lane was gating: the GPU terminal-input fix
merged as #166. One conflict, in COHERENCE.md's journey table, resolved
as the union -- this lane owns step 7's file half, #166 owns step 8's
GPU-terminal addendum.

Levi Neuwirth 08e2807fcc fix(dired): correct the reporting-channel claim #161 falsified
The module doc said an uncaught raise inside a `pmacs.async` coroutine
"goes to *errors*, not the status line". #161's COHERENCE finding shows
that is wrong, and in the worse direction: `pmacs.error` is never
defined in production, so `step()`'s guarded report is dead and the raise
falls through to a bare `error()` inside `pmacs._async.tick()` -- whose
result `EditorState::tick_async` discards with `let _ =`. The failure
reaches nowhere at all, and dired would look like it silently did
nothing.

So the per-coroutine `pcall` plus `pmacs.editor.set_status` is
load-bearing, not tidy, and the doc now says which channel is dead, which
is live, and that the acceptance suite observes the live one -- the
corollary COHERENCE draws from that finding.

The ledger records the integration, the reruns on the merged tree, and
the ops lesson that cost three CI runs: a conflicting PR has no merge
ref, so GitHub creates no `pull_request` run and nothing reports the
absence.

Levi Neuwirth bdd7611d0e Merge canonical main (#161) into the dired Stage 1 lane
Multi-root LSP affinity merged as #161 (`main` @ `46a1b8f`) while this
lane was in review, which made the PR conflict -- and a conflicting PR
has no merge ref, so GitHub silently stopped running CI on it after the
first push. Integrating rather than rebasing, per the #135/#137
precedent: the review anchors stay addressable and every gate is rerun
against the merged tree.

One conflict, in COHERENCE.md's in-flight list, resolved as the union of
both truths -- and #161 is now merged, which its own text still called a
PR.

The overlap to watch is `src/lua_bindings/mod.rs`: #161 widened the
`lsp.list()` row builder while this lane added `pmacs.path` and the
read_dir listing conversion. The merge was textually clean, which the
folding arc's lesson says is not the same as compiling, so the full gate
suite reruns from here.

Levi Neuwirth adf90e5351 docs: record the GPU terminal input fix in the three required docs
COHERENCE.md section 25 and the handoff/ledger update protocols make
these ride the PR.

COHERENCE.md:
- Section 6 named one optimistic key classifier and attributed it to the
  GPU. There are two, one per replica frontend:
  crate::optimistic::classify_key belongs to the pmacs --attach TUI
  replica, and pmacs-gpu has its own unrelated optimistic_insert_text /
  optimistic_crdt_insert. The section's "kept honest by
  dispatch_idle_for" claim is confirmed for both, which this
  investigation verified rather than assumed.
- Section 16 graded per-frontend degradation strong on the evidence of
  per-frontend fold projection. That grade stands, but the practice is
  enforced by convention rather than structure, and this defect is the
  counter-example; the note says so and points at what is now structural.
- Section 2 step 8 records that the terminal was broken outright on the
  GPU frontend, not merely undiscoverable.

docs/agent-handoff.md section 5 gains four lessons: adjacency does not
make two operations alternatives (and two individually sound idempotence
guards can be jointly useless); bite against every pre-image the fix
could have taken, since the obvious guard here fixes the storm and
introduces a controller leak; a quiet child is an instrument, because a
frame storm hides inside a chatty fixture and a geometric readout is
satisfied by an oscillating geometry; and TerminalMode::Raw makes
sh-based input fixtures useless because there is no ICRNL.

docs/active-work.md gains the lane entry with the branch, the bite
matrix, the named out-of-scope items, and the gate results.

Levi Neuwirth 14881b26c0 docs: record dired Stage 1 review round 1
Framing rev 7 adds S1-10..S1-12 -- the three findings that changed
behavior, each stated as the durable lesson rather than as a diff:
painting takes a buffer and seating takes the world, so any post-await
cursor operation needs an active-buffer guard; the rendered columns are
a contract Stage 3 is planned against, so precision yields to width; and
`open_directory`'s changed-nothing-on-failure invariant is itself a
probe, which is why the symlink descent no longer lists the target
twice. Plus the tolerant-channel note: cancellation was never a backstop
for a dired listing, because nothing cancels one.

The ledger records the round, the updated counts (dired 25 + 25 CRDT,
sweep 3,189 across 92), and the process lesson that cost me the fixes
once: a mutation-bite helper restores with `git checkout --`, so a fix
must be committed before it is bitten.

Levi Neuwirth b775f1703a fix(daemon): stop resizing a semantic frontend's PTY twice per tick
The dispatcher loop applied BOTH terminal-layout syncs to EVERY attached
frontend. A semantic session satisfies both conditions, because it has a
term_sizes entry from AttachRequest and a semantic terminal declaration,
so its PTY was resized twice on every tick forever: the grid arm
installed the TUI placement size, the semantic arm installed the declared
content rectangle, and each arm's own idempotence guard only ever saw the
size the other had just written. The child took a SIGWINCH storm at tick
cadence and the screen reflowed continuously, which is what made typing
into a GPU terminal impossible while output kept flowing.

The grid arm is also the only per-tick controller-liveness release a
semantic frontend gets, so simply skipping it for those frontends trades
one defect for another: a GPU window that switches away from its terminal
would hold the controller forever, and no peer could resize that PTY
again. The semantic arm cannot take over that job, because the
buffer-follow snapshot clears the viewport declaration that would drive
it.

sync_terminal_layout is therefore split into a frontend-kind-neutral half
(panel reconciliation plus controller liveness, which read only views,
windows and the controller) and a grid-only geometry half (TUI placement
plus the resize). The dispatcher runs the neutral half for every attached
frontend once per tick, then exactly one geometry arm per frontend kind.
sync_terminal_layout survives as the composition of both halves, so the
in-process editor loop and LOCAL are unchanged.

The loop body is extracted into sync_terminal_layouts_for_tick, which
makes the grid/semantic exclusivity structural rather than two adjacent
ifs, and lets the tests drive the real loop body instead of a
re-implementation.

The release that fires when a window has no placement stays in the grid
half deliberately: a semantic frontend has no window_placements entry at
all, so moving it into the neutral half would release a GPU session's
controller on every tick.

Bite-verified against two pre-images, because one is not enough here --
the naive guard fixes the storm and introduces the controller leak, so a
single revert would score the fix complete when it is not:

  pin                        main    naive guard   split
  settle (acc 2+3)           FAIL    pass          pass
  controller release (acc 6) pass    FAIL          pass
  grid still resizes (acc 5) pass    pass          pass

Real-path acceptance: a quiet child that counts SIGWINCH reports 144
frames in 4 s and WINCH 1..12 on screen against the pre-fix tree, versus
a settled screen with the fix. Acceptance 4 (input reaches the child and
returns) is a keep-working pin and passes on both sides -- key transport
was never the defect.

No protocol change; stays v20.

Levi Neuwirth 531fdf404e fix(dired): address PR #165 review round 1
F1 (real, small-window misbehavior). `dired.revert`'s re-seat runs after
the read settles, and `pmacs.editor.move_to_line` is AMBIENT -- it moves
whatever window is active. A user who switched buffers (or hit `q`)
while the re-read was in flight had an unrelated buffer's cursor moved
to a line index that only means something in the dired listing. The
paint was already safe because it names its buffer; the seat now runs
only while dired is still the active buffer, and `seat_cursor`'s doc
says which callers are unconditionally in the right place and why.
Pinned by a test that starts the revert, switches to a six-line file
before the pump, and asserts that buffer's cursor never moved -- and
that the dired buffer still reverts when it IS active.

F2 (a trap set for Stage 3). `fmt_size` used `%10d`, so a size past ten
digits -- 10 GB and up, ordinary for VM images and core dumps -- widened
the field and shifted mtime and name right on that line alone. Cosmetic
today, but `_layout` is exported as a contract and Stage 3's
column-classifying intercept is planned against it. It now takes
`fmt_mtime`'s discipline: exact bytes while they fit, else a
fixed-width magnitude, so precision yields to the invariant rather than
the other way round. This is not the deferred human-readable column --
the exact count still shows right up to where it cannot. Pinned with a
sparse 12 GB fixture that skips if the filesystem refuses it.

F3 (honesty and a doubled read). The symlink arm claimed the probe cost
"one syscall"; it was a full `read_dir` -- opendir plus one lstat per
child -- and on success `open_directory` immediately read the same
directory again. Since `open_directory` reads before touching editor
state and raises having changed nothing (acceptance 15's invariant), its
failure IS the "not a directory" answer: the probe is gone, one read
remains, and the comment says what it actually does. New test pins both
arms -- a symlink to a directory descends under the path the user walked
(canonicalization is lexical, so the link is not resolved), and a
symlink to a file opens with the target's contents.

F4 (deliberate failure mode). A tolerant listing recorded readdir
iterator errors without bound, and `std::fs::ReadDir` need not terminate
after yielding one. Cancellation is NOT an adequate backstop here --
which is the reason for a constant rather than a comment saying it is: a
dired listing carries no supersede key, so nothing cancels it. A
directory whose iterator produces nothing but errors now fails with the
last error the way an unopenable directory does, after
READDIR_MAX_CONSECUTIVE_ENTRY_ERRORS; the counter resets on any entry
that materializes. Documented as untested and why: faking a failing
iterator needs the walk generic over it, a refactor with no other
consumer.

Smaller notes, all taken: READ_ONLY_LIMIT renamed NAME_VARIANT_LIMIT (it
caps `<2>`..`<99>`, nothing read-only); `fmt_perms`' omission of
setuid/setgid/sticky documented as a decision tied to the M8.3 fixture's
nine-bit parser; `format_outcome` binds the slice in the pattern instead
of re-traversing; and `pmacs.path.canonicalize`'s `to_string_lossy` is
noted as inside the existing non-UTF-8-path deferral rather than an
exception to it.

Process note, learned the hard way twice now: the round-1 dired.lua
fixes were briefly wiped because a mutation-bite helper restores with
`git checkout --`, which reverts to HEAD -- so a fix must be committed
BEFORE it is bitten, not after.

Levi Neuwirth 9a0df21618 docs: frame the GPU terminal double layout-sync defect
Reported symptom: text input in a terminal does not work on the GPU
frontend while the TUI is fine.

Root cause, measured against a real daemon, a real PTY child, and the
real pmacs-gpu attach client: the dispatcher loop applies BOTH
terminal-layout syncs to EVERY attached frontend each tick. A semantic
session satisfies both conditions -- it has a term_sizes entry from
AttachRequest and a semantic terminal declaration -- so the PTY is
resized twice per tick forever, because the grid arm runs the TUI
placement helper that subtracts a modeline the GPU never draws. The
result is a SIGWINCH storm plus screen reflow at tick cadence, which
makes an interactive line editor unusable while child output keeps
flowing. Measured 730 terminal frames in 20 s for a static screen.

Revision 2 answers Q#GT4 from the code rather than deferring it, which
changes the fix from a one-line guard into a split of
sync_terminal_layout: the grid arm is also the only per-tick
controller-liveness release a GPU session gets, and the semantic arm
neither performs it nor can be made to, because the buffer-follow
snapshot clears the viewport declaration that would drive it.

The doc also records three falsified hypotheses, why the Stage 3
real-path acceptance passes on the broken tree, and a COHERENCE.md
section 6 citation error (two replica frontends have two different
optimistic classifiers; the audit names only one).

No code changes in this commit.

Levi Neuwirth 8b685dc127 docs: record dired Stage 1 (PR #165) and what it falsified
docs/dired-framing.md rev 6: §0 gains the Stage 1 implementation notes
(S1-1..S1-9) -- the normalizer is exposed rather than mirrored (so B2 is
false by one small binding, in the direction Q#DR2 preferred); R2-3's
dedication claim is falsified by the display policy; acceptance 3c
cannot pin the descent routing and now says so; dired is the first
builtin to bind a mode-scoped key, which one pre-existing lib test
assumed impossible; `C-x d` takes no completion source on purpose;
ownership is the handle table alone; the mark column ships blank; a
symlinked directory needs a probe; and interactive origin does not
survive an await.

COHERENCE.md, per its §25 (an audited claim this PR changes updates
here, riding the PR): §1.1's interactive-file-opening fact, §2's journey
step 7, §4's beginner-level `files`, §14's tree bullet (Stage 1 landed a
flat listing and did NOT invent a tree convention), and §15's Priority 1
list. Step 3 stays **Missing at the CLI** with the mechanism spelled
out: `pmacs .` still exits 1, and this arc deliberately does not claim
the CLI path -- it supplies the buffer a directory should resolve to.

docs/active-work.md: the dired lane rewritten for Stage 1, including why
the branch is a fresh cut rather than a rebase of `dired`, the durable
substrate facts, the bite results (one VACUOUS, recorded rather than
relabelled), and the verification. Its canonical-base line was four
merges stale and now names 8c86d34.

docs/agent-handoff.md: one forward pointer only. The handoff describes
merged state, so it absorbs the substance when this merges.
2026-07-25 15:08:24 -04:00
Levi Neuwirth e7fa9e9720 test(dired): teach describe.key about mode scope; drop one overclaim
`describe_key_identifies_every_default_binding` iterated every binding
in the stack and asserted `pmacs.describe.key` resolves it context-free.
That held only because no builtin had ever bound a mode-scoped key:
dired is #129's first non-detection consumer, so its `n` / `p` / `g`
correctly resolved to nothing and the test went red on the feature
rather than on a defect.

It now sets the effective context per binding -- the mode for a
mode-scoped default, and explicitly NO mode for a global one, because a
leaked mode legitimately shadows a global chord of the same name
(dired's `RET` shadows `edit.newline-and-indent`, which is the point of
the mode) and would make the assertion compare the wrong pair. A floor
assertion keeps the new arm from going vacuous if the last mode-scoped
default is ever removed.

Also corrects a doc comment rather than leaving it to be believed:
acceptance 3c does not pin the descent ROUTING. Dired holds focus in its
own panel, so a raw `switch_buffer` lands in the same window and the
mutation is vacuous against that test; dedication is what distinguishes
the two paths, so the discriminating pin is the dedicated-panel test
next to it. Verified by mutation, not assumed.

Levi Neuwirth f71055a206 feat(dired): the directory view (Stage 1)
Dired is the file surface, not a rider on one: before Stage 0 (#162)
pmacs had no way to open a file by path, and browsing is the half a
user reaches for when they do not already know the path. Stage 1 ships
the view.

builtin/runtime/dired.lua: one buffer per directory named by the
canonical path (Q#DR2) with an ownership check before any paint (F7);
read-only intercept plus round-trip input (Q#DR3); a `dired` major mode
carrying mode-scoped keys (Q#DR8) -- RET/f visit, ^ parent, n/p, g
revert, q quit, s sort; cursor re-seated by basename across every
wholesale repaint (Q#DR9); file visits through
`pmacs.window.display_file` and directory descent through dired's own
window (Q#DR10); `C-x d` / `C-x C-j`; and `dired.kill-when-opening`
through the config registry.

Two Rust changes, both narrow:

* `read_dir` grows per-entry tolerance behind an opt (Q#DR6). Five
  per-entry conditions used to fail the entire listing, so a plain
  refresh of a busy directory could just fail; the module doc's claim
  that a tolerant wrapper was "the package's job" was false, because
  the primitive hands Lua one structured error and no partial vec.
  Per-entry readdir/lstat/readlink failures and non-UTF-8 symlink
  targets now land in an `errors` channel; parent-level failures and
  non-UTF-8 *names* stay fatal. The tolerance travels in the settled
  payload, so the Lua boundary keeps the bare-array shape the frozen
  M8.2 fixture consumes and never has to look the job back up. The read
  ops' opts parsing now rejects unknown keys, so a typo'd `tolerant`
  cannot silently degrade to the fatal contract.

* `normalize_buffer_path` is exposed as `pmacs.path.canonicalize`
  rather than mirrored in Lua. Q#DR2 named exposure the preferred end
  state; it needs no borrow plumbing, so dired's name-dedup and
  `display_file`'s `find_buffer_for_path` dedup cannot fork, and the
  mirror's Stage 2 removal is not owed.

tests/dired_acceptance.rs covers framing items 1-16 (22 tests), driven
through real key dispatch. Item 17 is the m8_1/m8_2/m8_3 gate.

One framing claim is corrected by the substrate: R2-3 expected a
dedicated dired panel to carry its dedication across a descent, but
`display_buffer` never replaces the buffer in a slot dedicated to
another one -- it discards every side-specific parameter and falls back
to the document window (Q#BP3 2.iii). Dired does not try to unpin the
user's panel; both arms are pinned.

Levi Neuwirth 7071c27757 Merge githubsucks/main (46a1b8f) into inline-math-slice
Lean 4 Stage 2 (#161) landed while this branch's first-ever CI run was
in flight, which put the PR back to CONFLICTING at an unmoved head.

Merged rather than rebased, same as the 8c86d34 integration and for the
same reason: the PR is awaiting review rounds and a rebase would break
every review anchor.

The sole conflict was docs/active-work.md, as it was last time and for
the same structural reason -- every merge to main edits the lane ledger,
so a long-lived PR re-conflicts there and only there. Both sides' lanes
kept verbatim; main's updated Lean 4 heading taken over the stale one.

This integration is code-disjoint from the lane. Intersecting main's
changed files (COHERENCE.md, builtin/runtime/lsp.lua,
src/lua_bindings/mod.rs, tests/lsp_multi_root_acceptance.rs) against the
lane's own changed-file set leaves exactly docs/active-work.md, so none
of the first integration's pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs auto-merge risk recurs
here.

Levi Neuwirth 8b457de878 docs: record the post-integration gate run
Separates the pre-integration numbers, which described a tree 28 commits
behind, from the ones that describe what the PR now proposes.

The GPU test count is the integration proof rather than merely a pass: it
went 199 to 202, and e547a90 added exactly three tests to pmacs-gpu,
which is the entire delta on main since the merge base. Both sides' tests
are therefore present and running, and neither was dropped by the
auto-merge. Confirmed structurally as well -- main's fix survives as the
deferred closure form rather than the eager one that panicked, with its
regression test, alongside this lane's math work in the same file.

Levi Neuwirth f3e065dc78 Merge canonical main (8c86d34) into the inline-math slice
The lane was 28 commits behind. Merged rather than rebased, per the
#135/#137 precedent: the PR is awaiting review rounds and a rebase would
break every review anchor.

The only conflict was docs/active-work.md, where both sides add lanes.
Kept both: main's lanes verbatim, with this lane leading since it is the
one in flight. The conflict was pre-existing rather than introduced by
the dired or Lean 4 ledger commits -- it already conflicted against main
at e745068.

The integration surface, derived from git diff merge-base..main rather
than from another PR's file list, is pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs: main gained
72 lines there from e547a90, the minimap all-blank-slab divide-by-zero
fix, and this lane rewrites large parts of the same file. Git auto-merged
it textually. A clean auto-merge is not evidence the tree compiles, so
the full gate suite is what discharges it; the ledger records the
post-integration numbers separately from the pre-integration ones, which
described a tree 28 commits behind.

Levi Neuwirth b5bea3b2f5 docs(coherence): record the dead reporting channel and #161's slice
Rides this PR per COHERENCE.md §25 ("when a PR changes any audited claim
here, updating this file rides that PR").

§0 and §7: multi-root LSP affinity moves from in-flight-branch to PR
#161, and §7 gains the rule the slice actually establishes — a
*fallback* root is deliberately NOT an identity, so markerless files
keep sharing one server per language. That is the part a reader would
otherwise assume went the other way.

§1.2 gains the finding this PR turned up, which sharpens the audit
rather than restating it. The section recorded that background failures
produce "no `*errors*` entry"; the sharper fact is that **the channel
does not exist**. Fifteen call sites — `async.lua` (5), `syntax.lua`
(4), and one each in `lsp.lua`, `mcp.lua`, `fs.lua`, `editops.lua`,
`autosave.lua`, `commands/default.lua` — report through `pmacs.error`,
each guarded `if pmacs.error then ...`. It is defined nowhere in
production; the only assignment in the tree is a test stub
(`src/editor.rs:9881`), and `type(pmacs.error)` is nil in a fresh
`EditorState` (probed, not inferred). `pmacs.errors` plural in
compile.lua is an unrelated namespace. All fifteen are dead, and the
guard is what kept it unnoticed — it makes the silence read as
deliberate.

Hence the corollary now recorded beside the rule: report through a
channel with a **test that observes it**, or the guard is
indistinguishable from the silence it was meant to fix.

Also a frequency note: per-root affinity makes the
preconfigured-but-missing-server failure fire once per project root
rather than once per language per session. Unchanged in kind, strictly
more frequent. Surfacing it stays Priority 1 work needing its own
framing — it is user-visible product behavior (what message, where,
with what guidance), not a substrate fix to smuggle into an affinity PR.

Line-number citations in the touched sections re-verified per §25;
symbols are authoritative where they drifted.

Levi Neuwirth ebcd2c4f6f fix(lsp): attribute a failing root resolver (COHERENCE §1.2)
COHERENCE.md §1.2 makes "a `pcall` around background wiring must log
attributed failure, never discard it" a standing rule, and names
`ensure_server`'s swallowed spawn failure as its canonical case — the
exact function this branch modifies. Round 1 deferred the resolver's
silent `pcall` as a Stage 3 concern. Under that rule it is not a
deferral, it is a fresh instance of the named anti-pattern added by a PR
touching the cited function, made worse by the memo: a raised error is
buried permanently for that directory and never observed again.

A resolver that raises, or returns a non-string non-nil, now leaves an
attributed trace naming the language and the directory. Returning nil
remains the documented decline and stays silent — pinned, so "report
failures" cannot be satisfied by reporting every resolution.

The report goes through `pmacs.editor.set_status`, NOT `pmacs.error`,
and that choice is the finding:

**`pmacs.error` does not exist.** Fifteen call sites across `async.lua`
(5), `syntax.lua` (4), `lsp.lua`, `mcp.lua`, `fs.lua`, `editops.lua`,
`autosave.lua`, and `commands/default.lua` report background failures
through it, each guarded `if pmacs.error then ...`. It is defined
nowhere in production; the only assignment in the tree is a test stub at
`src/editor.rs:9881`, and `type(pmacs.error)` is nil in a fresh
`EditorState` (probed, not inferred). `pmacs.errors` (plural) in
compile.lua is an unrelated namespace. So all fifteen reports are dead,
and the guard makes the silence look deliberate — which is why nobody
noticed. Writing the test is what caught it: the first version of this
fix used `pmacs.error` and its pin failed against a working
implementation.

Both bites recorded: dropping the report entirely fails the pin, and so
does reporting ONLY through `pmacs.error` — the dead-channel variant
this nearly shipped.

Not fixed here, deliberately: defining `pmacs.error`, the fifteen dead
sites, and surfacing the spawn failure itself. That last is Priority 1
work and a user-visible product behavior — what message, where, with
what guidance — so it needs its own framing rather than being smuggled
into an affinity PR.

Levi Neuwirth 7c01c93226 docs: dired arc framing (revision 5) + post-merge doc refresh
Lands the approved dired framing on main as its own docs PR, and brings
the two required docs current after find-file merged as #162.

The framing was approved after two review rounds (seven findings, then
six) and revised twice more since: revision 4 recorded what implementing
Stage 0 falsified in the approved text, and revision 5 adds the coherence
impact statement that #163 made mandatory for every framing.

The coherence statement is new work, not a restatement. COHERENCE.md
section 20 Priority 1 already names this arc -- a find-file surface and
directory-argument handling -- so the framing now states which journey
steps it touches (7, and partially 3), that it adds no interaction island
because its keys are a mode-scoped keymap through the ordinary registry
and wdired is a mode swap rather than a modal layer, that it adopts the
config registry for dired.kill-when-opening, and that it inherits the
worker-attribution gap for its read_dir jobs without worsening it. It
also draws the boundary against the adjacent Journey Stage 1 arc: CLI
directory handling belongs there, the two meet at resolve_target_buffer,
and dired supplies the buffer a directory should resolve to rather than
growing a second directory surface.

One convergence worth recording: section 2 grades the golden journey
broken at step 3 because pmacs on a directory exits 1, and the mechanism
it cites -- File::open succeeding on a directory, then read_to_end
returning EISDIR -- is the same one Stage 0 pinned in its
accepting-a-directory test, where the pcall turns it into a status
message instead.

The handoff snapshot was stale through eight merges. It now anchors on
main at 2af1ab3, records COHERENCE.md as required reading and a required
framing input, and carries the two minibuffer facts find-file
established: a custom completion source cannot descend directories, and
a selected candidate shadows typed text -- both of which apply to M-x and
switch-buffer, not just find-file.

The ledger gains the dired lane with Stage 1's scope, the reason its one
Rust change cannot be done in Lua, and the rebase note for the dired
branch, whose framing commits become redundant when this lands.

Levi Neuwirth 066b8652b8 docs: add COHERENCE.md as a required doc, audited against the codebase
COHERENCE.md states the product-coherence thesis (pmacs should be
immediately excellent, progressively understandable, completely
inspectable, and ultimately replaceable) and, per-section, the audited
ground truth of how the codebase measures against it: a scorecard
across 19 concerns, the golden-journey verdict table (breaks at "open a
real project" -- `pmacs .` exits 1), the six hardcoded key-interception
shadows with no transient-keymap mechanism to migrate them to, the
discoverability substrate-without-surface gap, the package/worker
identity gap, and three cross-cutting patterns (substrate without
surface, the silence asymmetry, per-arc coherence debt) that explain
most of the individual findings.

CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md now list it as required reading alongside
agent-handoff.md and active-work.md, and ask new framing docs to state
their coherence impact. No runtime code changes.

Levi Neuwirth 0b0d5acd81 fix(find-file): review round 1 -- name the real test, pin two gaps
Three of the five review findings land here; the other two are recorded
as named deferrals in the framing on the dired branch.

Finding 1: the command comment cited "acc4", a name from a draft scheme
that no test carries. It now names the real test, and the comment splits
the shadowing consequence into the two cases that actually exist -- a new
bare name that matches an entry (shadowed) versus one that matches
nothing (creates normally) -- each pointing at its test.

Finding 2: the everyday new-file flow had no test. Typing a bare name
that is not a subsequence of any entry is the path users hit first, and
the only route combining free text with a relative join; every existing
new-file test used a name containing a separator.
find_file_bare_new_name_creates_in_the_root covers it, asserting the
parent is the prompt's root so the join itself is pinned.

Finding 3: the failure arm was never exercised, and as the review noted,
deleting the pcall would have passed the whole suite. Accepting a
directory candidate reaches display_file, whose load fails because
File::open on a directory succeeds and the read returns EISDIR;
find_file_accepting_a_directory_reports_instead_of_raising pins that this
surfaces as the command's status message, leaves the active buffer alone,
and closes the prompt. Verified by manual revert: with the pcall replaced
by a direct call, that test and only that test fails. scripts/bite could
not isolate it, since the guard and its test have no separating commit.

Finding 4 is documented at the command rather than left implicit:
accepting on empty input opens the first-sorted candidate, because
fuzzy_score returns Some(0) for an empty needle and filter_and_sort
breaks the tie lexicographically, so dotfiles lead and a directory can
lead. M-x and switch-buffer share the mechanism, so it is inherited
rather than introduced, and it is listed in the framing beside the
accept-semantics change that would close it.

Levi Neuwirth 35085b54d1 fix: rustfmt the acceptance suite and pin two untested arms (round 1)
The blocker was process, not design. The test file was committed before
`cargo fmt` ran, so the reflow of five over-width assertions sat
uncommitted in the working tree while the branch as pushed failed the
first gate in CLAUDE.md. The "fmt clean" reported on the PR described
the worktree, not the branch. Gate results are only meaningful run
against the pushed tree, so this commit lands the formatting first and
the gates are re-run against it.

Two pins review asked for, each covering a branch the nine acceptance
tests left untested:

- A **string** `config.root` as an affinity key. acc17 covers only the
  function form, so `return configured, "config"` had no test. The bite
  puts both files in their own marked project: drop the config arm and
  they key on their own detected roots and spawn two servers, so one
  server on the configured root is only reachable if the override wins.
- `root = false` reads as unset. Defended by a truthiness check rather
  than `~= nil`, previously by comment alone. Under `~= nil` the config
  arm returns `false, "config"` and `file_uri_for(false)` returns nil, so
  the file lands on a rootless server instead of its detected project.

Each was falsified against exactly the mutation it targets and neither
against the other.

Also documents an asymmetry review caught: `project_root_for`'s
"detected" arm is canonicalized for free because `pmacs.project.detect`
canonicalizes before walking, but a **configured** root — string or
resolver return — is fed to `file_uri_for` exactly as written, and the
affinity key is that URI. On macOS a resolver returning `/var/…` and a
detected `/private/var/…` are therefore different keys for one
directory, silently yielding two servers for one project. There is no
Lua-side canonicalizer to normalize it, and Stage 3's Lean resolver is
the first real consumer, so the obligation is stated in the
`config.root` doc comment where that resolver's author will read it.

Levi Neuwirth 4a2aa92510 style: rustfmt the find-file acceptance harness 2026-07-25 11:13:57 -04:00
Levi Neuwirth 92f57d8894 docs: record Stage 1's landing and the Stage 2 affinity lane
Stage 1 merged as #160 (`main` @ `0827dd1`); the Lean lane header and
branch line now say so, and Stage 2 gets its own subsection.

Edits stay inside the Lean lane. PR #156 is still open against both this
file and `docs/agent-handoff.md`, and it rewrites the snapshot header,
the canonical-base line, and the whole bottom-panel lane — so those are
left alone rather than merged twice. `agent-handoff.md` is untouched for
the same reason plus its own: §1 describes what is on `main`, so it
updates at merge, not during review.

Records the one finding this stage turned up but did not fix:
`ensure_server` never forwards `cfg.restart` to `pmacs.lsp.spawn`, so a
`restart` in `pmacs.lsp.config[lang]` is silently dropped on the
auto-attach path. Pre-existing, and out of scope for a PR whose
acceptance 16 pins existing attach behavior as unchanged.
