feat(workers): a required purpose on every job and process — worker identity Stage 1
`COHERENCE.md` §9 grades the worker model "mechanism without identity",
and §0 names step 11 (background-work ownership) as one of the two
remaining thin ends of the golden journey. The mechanism half is solid —
cancellation, supersession, streaming, frame-aware draining, `*workers*`.
The identity half was absent: `PendingJob` carried no description of what
it was doing, `pmacs.workers.dispatch` discarded the registered handler
name three layers above anything that takes one, and §9's "no progress
indicator exists anywhere" was checkable and true.

Framing: `docs/worker-identity-framing.md` (revision 4, approved).

What lands:

**A required `purpose`, on the job and on the process.** Non-optional,
with no `Default`, so the compiler — not a test — is what proves every
dispatcher supplied one. `allocate` / `allocate_with_resource` collapse
into ONE private `JobSpec`-taking funnel (Q#W-1): the two-function split
existed only because one prior lane needed one extra parameter, and a
second lane doing the same produces `allocate_with_resource_and_identity`.
`register_external` gains a `purpose` parameter rather than deriving one,
because its `JobKind` is `McpRequest`/`LspRequest` for every method — a
category, not a description.

**A dispatch-name ambient (Q#W-2), read at that same single funnel.** The
capture point is Rust, not the Lua wrapper layer, because a handler
reaching straight for `pmacs._async._dispatch_*` bypasses the wrappers
entirely — and those are precisely the callers attribution exists for.
Seven rules; the ones that decide whether it is honest:

- **Rule 1 — the extent is NON-YIELDABLE, and that is ENFORCED.** Both
  supported yield APIs refuse inside it, modelled on the `commit_to`
  refusal already in `async.lua`. The guards reject BEFORE parking and
  reject UNCONDITIONALLY: one placed after `_is_complete` would fire only
  when a yield really occurred, passing under test and failing
  intermittently in production.
- **A raw `coroutine.yield` is NOT covered, and nothing here claims it
  is.** R46 is a convention, and the scheduler inspects the yielded value
  only after `coroutine.resume` returns — by which point the coroutine has
  already suspended — so no refusal sited in a yield helper is ever
  consulted. The residual is recorded in the framing §2 and in the
  suite's module docs rather than papered over with a test that would
  imply coverage this design lacks.
- **Rule 5 — unwind-safe.** A raising handler still pops. A version that
  did not would let one failure poison every later dispatch in the session
  with a stale name: the feature would stop failing loudly and start lying
  silently. The bracketing also has to preserve the tail call it replaced:
  `dispatch` was `return handler(args, opts)` and propagated EVERY return
  value, so the pop/rethrow runs behind a varargs boundary rather than a
  `local ok, result = pcall(...)` that would silently truncate a
  multi-value handler. Varargs rather than `table.pack`, because that is
  Lua 5.2 surface and LuaJIT is this project's default backend.
- **Rule 6 — compose, do not replace.** `"<name>: <purpose>"`, because
  letting the dispatcher's purpose win loses the third party again and
  letting the name win discards the only description of the actual work.

**A statusline activity indicator** — the fourth `pmacs.statusline.register`
adopter, after `mode`, `terminal` and `lsp`. A count plus the OLDEST
in-flight job's purpose ("busiest" is not a defined quantity; jobs carry
no cost estimate), and **absent entirely** when idle rather than a
zero-width segment that costs modeline width forever to say nothing is
happening. Gated by one setting, `ui.activity-indicator` (boolean, default
true, Q#W-6) — a permanently-visible modeline element is a preference
someone genuinely holds on day one. No setting for purpose capture
itself: that is substrate.

**NO WIRE CHANGE.** The indicator rides the existing `StatuslineSegments`
vector, so a fourth provider adds an element, not a variant.
`PROTOCOL_VERSION` and `ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION` are untouched — which
is the property that lets this run beside the two lanes holding the bump
slot.

**Q#W-7 — a pre-existing defect, repaired here, and NOT one anybody has
observed.** `Handle:await()` refuses inside `pmacs.window.commit_to`
precisely so a coroutine cannot park with the frontend scope pushed
(Journey Stage 1a, Q#JR14b). But `pmacs.async.yield_to_next_tick()` also
yields, is public, and carried no such refusal — so that invariant had a
second entrance, and a coroutine could produce exactly the misrouting the
`await` guard exists to prevent. It gains both refusals here: the same
supported yield helper, the same invariant, the same edit family, so
splitting it would have preserved a known hole without reducing
integration risk.

**Reachability by a real caller is UNPROVEN.** This was found by reading
the guard family while scouting rule 1, not by reproducing a fault. No
production caller is known to yield through that door inside a commit,
and the test pins the guard rather than reproducing a user-visible bug.
Nobody should later cite this commit as evidence the bug was observed in
the wild. Its witness is a PAIR, like rule 1's: the refusal fires **and**
the commit scope is restored afterwards — a guard that raises while
leaving the scope pushed converts a silent fault into a loud one and
fixes neither.

`journey_acceptance` carries the established `commit_to` pins —
forged-destination refusal, scope-and-restore on normal return and on
raise, the await refusal, delivery to the requesting frontend. It passes
**untouched**, which is what says this closed a gap in Journey Stage 1a's
semantics rather than altering them.

What is deliberately NOT here, and why it is worth saying:

- **No `owner`, in any spelling** — not `origin`, not `subsystem` (§3).
  Populated from static per-subsystem constants it would be an origin,
  not an owner, and would confidently misattribute third-party work to a
  builtin at exactly the point §9 wants attribution. A field that asserts
  a falsehood is worse than an absent one. The slot stays empty until P3
  can fill it with a real package signal.
- **No `parent`** (Q#W-5). An unpopulated field renders as `None`
  everywhere and reads as "this job has no parent" rather than "this
  system does not track parents". Stage 3 builds the lifetime model and
  the field together.

Consequences worth recording:

- `ProcessSpec::new` takes a third argument. The 40-odd call sites are
  almost all tests; the three production ones (LSP, MCP, terminal) supply
  real descriptions. `pmacs.process.spawn`'s Lua surface keeps `purpose`
  OPTIONAL, falling back to the label — requiring it there would break
  every existing caller for no coverage the compiler is not already
  providing, and a caller's own label is not a fabrication.
- `pmacs.process.list` gains a `purpose` KEY on each row and enumerates
  exactly the same processes (Q#W-4). Terminal PTYs stay hidden: three
  acceptance suites use `#pmacs.process.list()` as a leak baseline, and
  widening the accessor would inflate all three. Stage 2's unified view
  owns that decision.
- `statusline_segments_acceptance`'s builtin-provider inventory grows to
  `["activity", "mode", "terminal", "lsp"]`. That assertion exists to
  grow when a builtin provider is added.

fix(discovery): clip command descriptions at the single-row surfaces
PR #228 review found a correctness gap this lane made reachable. The
GPU dropdown derives its height, its visible window and its
selection-highlight offset from `rows.len()` — ONE logical row per
candidate — while a detail carrying a line break shapes into more
physical lines than that. One such row misaligns every row below it
and the highlight with it. The grid TUI has the same exposure from the
other side: it writes the description into a single-row suffix on the
minibuffer band.

## Why not reject CR/LF at registration

That was the obvious fix. It was implemented, measured, and abandoned
on evidence.

MCP tool registration renders a whole schema block into
`Command.description` — tool text, blank line, `Arguments:`, then one
line per argument (`tests/fixtures/pmacs-mcp-tools/init.lua:272`, a
`table.concat(lines, "\n")`, used at `:496`). And
`tests/m9_6_acceptance.rs:583-598` ASSERTS four of those lines. A
one-line guard in `CommandRegistry::define` fails 36 tests across
`m9_6` (19/25), `m9_7` (16/19) and `m9_8` (1/17), in both feature
configurations, and could only be made green by deleting a shipped
acceptance criterion.

So the one-line constraint goes where the constraint actually is: the
surfaces that have one row. `Command.description` stays free-form,
which it legitimately is.

## The change

`Command::description_first_line` clips to the first CR **or** LF — a
lone CR ends a line too, and an LF-only clip would pass a bare `\r`
straight through to the same surface. Both single-row consumers call
it: the semantic producer filling `MinibufferRow.detail`
(`src/semantic_render.rs`) and the TUI suffix (`src/editor.rs`). A
first line that is empty ships as `None` rather than `Some("")`, which
would draw trailing padding.

No ellipsis or truncation marker, matching the in-tree precedent and
the minibuffer's own width rule.

`describe-command` and `help.list-commands` are untouched and still
report every line. That is what makes this a rendering decision rather
than data loss, and it is asserted, not assumed.

## Precedent, already in this tree

The same MCP fixture clips a tool RESULT to its first line because
"a multi-line set_status would corrupt the row layout"
(`init.lua:277-285`), leaving width clipping to the frontend. Same
hazard class, same resolution.

## Verification

`src/command.rs`: a schema block registers AND clips, in all three
break forms; a single-line description is byte-identical after the
clip; an empty first line clips to empty.

`tests/discovery_stage2_acceptance.rs`: an MCP-shaped description
reaches the TUI band and the GPU row as one line, through the real
prompt path — with the full text still reachable via
`describe-command` asserted alongside, so a clip that deleted the
schema block everywhere would fail rather than pass.

`pmacs-gpu`: one physical shaped line per logical candidate row — the
geometry invariant the dropdown depends on.

Mutation-checked: neutering `first_line` to the identity fails all
four new break-handling tests
(`a_multi_line_description_registers_and_clips_to_its_first_line`,
`a_description_whose_first_line_is_empty_clips_to_empty`,
`a_multi_line_description_reaches_the_tui_band_as_one_line`,
`a_multi_line_description_reaches_the_gpu_row_as_one_physical_line`)
and leaves the two "did not tighten past purpose" tests green.

`Command.description`'s doc comment claimed "one-line", which the MCP
path openly violates. It now states the real contract and records why
a registration guard must not be re-proposed.

`m9_6`/`m9_7`/`m9_8` pass COMPLETELY UNTOUCHED, and are now named
gate suites so that stays on the record.

feat(discovery): M-x rows carry descriptions — protocol v22 -> v23
`Command.description` has always been required and has always been
rendered by `help.list-commands`. It was missing at the one moment it
would change a decision: the M-x row. This carries it there.

COHERENCE.md §5's clause "M-x rows are still bare names", per
docs/discovery-stage2-framing.md revision 3.

## The wire half is additive, and the old variant is FROZEN

postcard is not self-describing: enum variants encode by index and
fields by position. Widening `MinibufferPrompt.candidates` in place
would make every v12–v22 peer MIS-DECODE the bytes rather than ignore
them — and gating the widened form at `>= 23` would not rescue them
either, because with only one variant to gate they would receive no
minibuffer message at all. Compatibility requires the old shape to
still exist AND still be sent.

So `MinibufferPrompt` is retained unchanged for `12..=22`, and
`MinibufferPromptRows { prompt, input, cursor, rows, selected, total }`
is APPENDED as the final variant, carrying `MinibufferRow { label,
detail: Option<String> }`. A new row type, not `CompletionPopupRow`,
whose `kind` is an LSP `CompletionItemKind` code with no honest value
for a command (Q#D2-1).

Exactly one of the two reaches any peer, ever. The producer selects on
the session's negotiated version, so the CLOSE necessarily uses the
same family as the OPEN — a rows session closed by a legacy clear
leaves the dropdown on screen forever. The daemon's write loop gates
both directions again, with the legacy gate written as a RANGE
(`12..MINIBUFFER_ROWS_MIN_VERSION`) rather than a floor, so a v23 peer
cannot receive both and double-render.

`ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION` stays 20, untouched.

## The TUI half involves no wire at all

`src/editor.rs` contains zero references to `MinibufferPrompt`:
`paint_minibuffer` reads `core.minibuffer` directly. So it reads
`Command.description` from the registry in-process, which is why this
half is independent of the bump.

Clipping is three ORDERED steps (§3.4), and the guarantee is "never a
PARTIAL name", not "the name always survives" — the prompt and typed
input consume the budget first, so the remainder can be too small even
for the bare name. If the whole name does not fit, the suffix is
omitted entirely; only once it fits is a description attempted; a
description that does not fit whole is dropped, leaving today's
`[name]`. No ellipsis stub, and no prefix of a name is ever emitted.

## Verification

`src/protocol.rs` gains this repo's FIRST literal postcard byte
fixtures: `minibuffer_prompt_v12_wire_bytes_are_frozen`, open and
cleared. A round-trip freezes nothing — it encodes and decodes with
the same types, so a field addition leaves it passing while every
shipped peer breaks. Bite-verified: reordering two fields of
`MinibufferPrompt` leaves `minibuffer_prompt_round_trips_through_postcard`
green and fails the fixture.

`line_wrap_facts_encoding_is_unchanged_by_the_v23_build` pins the
PREVIOUS final variant, per the handoff §4 rule that an appended
variant's own round-trip cannot detect a discriminant shift.

`tests/discovery_stage2_acceptance.rs` runs ONE daemon serving a v22
and a v23 session simultaneously, through the real M-x key path, and
asserts each receives its own variant AND ONLY its own — open and
close alike — by collecting every minibuffer message rather than
filtering for the expected one.

No cross-version cache test, deliberately (§3.2):
`SemanticRenderState::for_peer` bakes the negotiated version in at
attach and is dropped at detach, so a cache cannot span two versions.
A test for an impossible condition passes forever while teaching the
next reader that the hazard is real.

Five version assertions updated, each read before editing:
`src/protocol.rs` (the `PROTOCOL_VERSION` tripwire, renamed; and the
v6-floor ladder's accepted/rejected ranges),
`tests/statusline_segments_acceptance.rs`,
`tests/bottom_panel_stage2b_gpu_acceptance.rs`,
`tests/vterm_stage3_acceptance.rs`. No `ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION`
assertion fired.

Gates: `scripts/gate --protocol --acceptance discovery_stage2_acceptance`
— all ten green, including the strengthened two-configuration sweep.

feat(gpu): horizontal scroll — QoL Stage 5, closing the long-lines arc (#223)
* docs: frame QoL Stage 5, GPU horizontal scroll

Stage 4 merged as #222, so the lane advances to its last stage. Rule 4
still does not apply — the arc closes when Stage 5 merges, not before.

THE FRAMING'S FIRST FINDING CORRECTS STAGE 4'S. §1.3 there said the GPU
"needs a mechanism that does not exist", named it the fact most likely
to invert the cost estimate, and I endorsed the Stage 4/5 split partly
on that basis.

Half of it holds: `Scroll::horizontal` really is discarded throughout,
because glyphon 0.11 never applies it when placing glyphs — three
doc sites and three asserting tests. But that is not the only
mechanism. The document `TextArea` already carries an explicit `left`
origin and a `TextBounds` clip whose `left` is `gutter_clip_left`, and
horizontal scroll is `left: text_left - offset_px` with the clip
unchanged. glyphon then drops what falls left of the gutter — the same
"paint from column 0, clip at the edge" shape the grid renderer uses,
expressed in pixels. It is machinery the file already depends on, not
new machinery.

The split stays right for the reason that survives: the three consumers
Stage 4 named — caret (`code_byte_px`), decoration geometry
(`push_glyph_extent_rects`), hit testing (`gutter_aware_rel_x`) — each
produce x relative to `text_left()` and each need the same offset,
applied ONCE or they disagree. Shipping that inside Stage 4 would have
made one reviewable change into two unreviewable ones. But it was
justified partly by an overstatement, and saying so is cheaper than
letting a future reader inherit it.

No wire, no version bump: the GPU owns its viewport locally, exactly as
it owns `scroll_top` and `code_scroll_residual`. The parallel with
`ui.line-wrap` is misleading and the doc says why — the MODE is buffer
state and needed v22, the OFFSET is viewport state and needs nothing.

Five questions, each with my vote. Q#G3 is the one I am least sure of:
the GPU can resolve a proportional family, where "column" has no fixed
pixel width, so column-for-column parity with the TUI is unachievable.
I lean to defining the behavior in pixels and accepting imprecise
correspondence rather than gating a navigation feature on a font
choice — but that is a product call.

* docs: Stage 5 revision 2 — a clip, not just an offset

Two functional findings and two record repairs.

Q#G3 WAS BUILT ON A FALSE PREMISE, and the correction makes the lane
stricter rather than looser. Revision 1 said the GPU can resolve a
proportional family and proposed accepting a new TUI/GPU divergence to
accommodate it. It cannot: `family_is_monospace_everywhere` gates the
family across all four weight/style combinations,
`apply_font_facts` falls back when that fails, and
`unresolvable_and_proportional_families_fall_back` REQUIRES the
fallback. Answered as monospace-only by the font contract that already
exists — and the consequence is that the TUI-parity witness becomes
UNCONDITIONAL for every font the GPU supports. Revision 1 would have
introduced a font-dependent behavior difference to solve a problem the
codebase had already solved, in the lane whose purpose is removing
unchosen divergence.

"THREE CONSUMERS" WAS INCOMPLETE IN A WAY THAT WOULD HAVE SHIPPED A
DEFECT. Shifting the `TextArea` clips glyphon's text because glyphon
honors `TextBounds`. The manual quad and squiggle renderers have no
code-area scissor at all — nothing stops them painting into the gutter,
and today nothing needs to, because no code-relative x can be negative.
Scrolling makes that false.

So the framing now requires TWO shared things: one screen↔code
transform, and one code clip rectangle every code-relative painter
intersects with. The paths are tabulated with sites — caret rect
(`:9698`), caret-painted predicate (`:9734`), glyph extent rects
(`:9766`), inline math origins (`:9434`), completion anchor (`:7606`).

The two caret sites are the sharpest, and one of them falsifies a claim
revision 1 made: `:9734` has no left-edge test, so "the scroll
indicator inherits the fix" was false — `code_byte_painted` reuses it
and would call an off-left byte painted. And `:9698` does not merely
lack a check, it DOCUMENTS the absence as safe ("the caret x can't
precede `text_left`"). A comment asserting an invariant this lane
deletes is worse than silence.

Q#G2: "inert under wrap" was too weak. The offset must be RESET to zero
on the wrap transition, as the TUI already does — `horizontal_follow`
assigns `view_left = 0` on the wrap branch. Inertness hides a stale
value that reappears the moment the buffer toggles back to `truncate`,
before any cursor motion. G5 gains a witness that an inertness-only
implementation fails.

RECORDS. Rule 4's Stage-5 removal precondition was not actually met:
the handoff still described Stage 4 as upcoming work. Stage 4's durable
facts are now transferred — the unsnapped per-window column with a
per-line effective edge, the line-absolute walk, the three-way cell
designation, `Viewport::visible_cols` and its five adopters, the
wrap-branch reset, the `#[serde(default)]` persistence, and the absence
of any wire. The ledger's "Stage 4 ahead" / "Stage 4 plan" text is
corrected to Stage 5, and its Rule 4 note now says the removal is
legitimate BECAUSE those bullets exist.

And the journey-step claim is withdrawn. Revision 1 said this lane
completes journey step 4; step 4 is scored on welcome/help/tutorial
discoverability and COHERENCE.md:395 holds it Partial for reasons this
lane does not touch (`C-h` deletes a word, no tutorial). Restated as
preserving interface comprehension with no scorecard movement. §16 is
the direct target. Writing an unearned mark into a scorecard is how a
coherence document stops being ground truth.

* docs: Stage 5 revision 3 — four corrections, one of them impossible

Q#G1 CONTRADICTED THE Q#G3 ANSWER IN THE SAME DOCUMENT. It still said
the GPU's font "need not be monospace" and that Q#G3 makes "column"
ill-defined — both falsified by the answer two sections below, in the
same revision that wrote it. The pixel-storage vote is unchanged, but
its reasons narrow to the ones that survive, and the conversion is now
stated as EXACT: columns × the supported monospace advance. That is
what makes the unconditional parity witness checkable at all.

Also removed `follow_cursor`, which I invented. The GPU's pass is
`ensure_caret_painted`, and it is now named rather than cited by line —
robust against the transposition that put these two sites at each
other's line numbers in review.

Q#G2 WAS MISSING THE BUFFER-SNAPSHOT RESET. The GPU zeroes `scroll_top`
and `code_scroll_residual` when a snapshot installs a new buffer; the
horizontal offset must reset there for the same reason. Without it a
buffer switch INHERITS the previous document's leftward viewport,
showing the new buffer scrolled sideways until a cursor motion repairs
it — a worse symptom than the wrap case, because nothing about the new
buffer explains it.

THE GUTTER ASSERTION WAS IMPOSSIBLE, not merely imprecise. Revision 2
proposed asserting that nothing paints left of `gutter_clip_left`. With
line numbers on, the gutter DELIBERATELY holds digit glyphs and
diagnostic-sign quads, so that assertion fails on a correct
implementation — a test that can only be satisfied by removing the
gutter. Replaced with the checkable form of the same intent: the gutter
rectangle is byte-identical before and after a horizontal scroll, and
the left-edge rule is checked against code-relative geometry only. It
still catches a code painter bleeding into the gutter, because that
changes those pixels.

THE COMPLETION ANCHOR HIDES, IT DOES NOT CLOSE. `completion_anchor_px`
already returns `None` when the anchor scrolls out, so nothing draws
while the daemon-owned completion state and its key handling are
retained; actual closure is `CompletionPopup { anchor: None }`, which
is the daemon's to send. Revision 2 said "closes", which would have had
a viewport-geometry lane quietly redefining when a completion ends.
Specified as: no completion paint while the anchor is off-left, popup
reappears when it scrolls back, session semantics unchanged.

Ledger drift fixed: it still called the framing revision 1 with five
questions open.

* docs: Stage 5 revision 4 — witnesses for the two rules that had none

Both additions cover requirements the framing had already stated and
then left untested, which is how a rule becomes a comment.

THE SNAPSHOT RESET (Q#G2). Revision 3 added the buffer-snapshot reset
and tested only the wrap one. The witness now scrolls buffer A to a
non-zero offset, installs a buffer B snapshot, and asserts the offset
is zero and B renders at its code origin BEFORE any `CursorByte`
arrives.

The pre-cursor scoping is the entire test. A later cursor motion
repairs the offset regardless, so a witness that waits for one cannot
distinguish "reset on snapshot" from "repaired on first motion" — and
the second is the defect. Same shape as the wrap witness, which is also
scoped to before any motion, and for the same reason.

THE MINIMAP (Q#G4). The vote is "no movement", and the implementation
already supports it: the minimap derives from the summary, the surface
dimensions and `scroll_top`, with no horizontal input. So the witness
pins an existing property rather than requesting work — which is
exactly why it is worth writing. An offset threaded one seam too far
would break it silently, and nothing else in G5 would notice.

* docs: Stage 5 approved, five questions resolved

G1 pixels with exact conversion via the supported monospace advance; G2
automatic cursor-follow only, zeroing on both the wrap transition and
BufferSnapshot; G3 monospace-only by the existing font contract; G4
minimap unchanged; G5 accepted whole, including the snapshot-reset and
minimap-stability witnesses.

The scope boundary is restated in both documents because it is what
keeps this lane small: local GPU viewport state, no wire message, no
protocol bump, no command surface, no minimap movement.

* feat(gpu): horizontal scroll — the transform, the clip, and both resets

Stage 5, partial. The mechanism and lifecycle are in; two consumers and
the whole verification set are NOT yet done — see the tail of this
message, which is a status, not a summary.

WHAT IS IN.

The offset, `code_scroll_left`, in pixels (Q#G1). Column parity stays
exact because the code font is monospace by contract, so
`columns × advance` is a definition rather than an approximation.
Local viewport state: no wire, no version bump.

One screen↔code transform (`code_x_to_screen` / `screen_x_to_code`) and
one code clip (`code_clip_left` / `survives_code_clip_left`), which is
the pair framing §1.1 requires. Written before any consumer moved,
because five sites deriving the same offset independently is how the
caret and the glyphs it sits among come to disagree.

The glyph-side mechanism is one line: the document `TextArea`'s `left`
shifts while its `bounds.left` stays at the gutter, so glyphon clips
and the gutter keeps its own pixels.

BOTH LIFECYCLE RESETS (Q#G2), which were the two rules most likely to
be left as comments. The wrap transition zeroes the offset in
`apply_line_wrap` — inertness would park a stale value that reappears
the instant the buffer toggles back to `truncate`. The buffer snapshot
zeroes it beside `scroll_top` and `code_scroll_residual`, or a buffer
switch inherits the previous document's leftward viewport and shows the
new buffer scrolled sideways until a cursor motion repairs it.

`code_caret_rect_in_clip` gains its left-edge test, and its comment is
REWRITTEN rather than extended: it used to assert "the caret x can't
precede `text_left`", an invariant this stage deletes. A comment
asserting something a later stage falsifies is worse than silence. That
also repairs `code_byte_painted`, which reuses it — revision 1's claim
that the scroll indicator "inherits the fix" was false precisely here.

`gutter_aware_rel_x` is now the exact inverse of the transform, with
the gutter clamp applied in screen space first: a click in the gutter
band means "the first visible column", which after scrolling is the
offset, not column 0.

The completion anchor HIDES when scrolled off-left and does not close —
the daemon owns completion state and its key handling, and closure is
`CompletionPopup { anchor: None }`, which is the daemon's to send.

`horizontal_follow` mirrors the TUI's: automatic only, scroll just far
enough, so a caret already visible never moves the view. It runs after
`normalize_code_scroll` because it reads the caret's laid-out x, which
vertical normalization can change.

WHAT IS NOT IN, and must land before this is reviewable:

  - `push_glyph_extent_rects` — washes, squiggles and selection extents
    still paint at unshifted x and are not cropped at the gutter.
  - Inline math origins (`:9434`) — same.
  - Every Q#G5 witness. The 228 existing GPU tests pass, which says
    only that nothing regressed at offset 0; not one of them exercises
    a non-zero offset.

Gates so far: fmt; clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings;
PMACS_REQUIRE_GPU=1 -p pmacs-gpu 228/0; git diff --check. The full
two-configuration sweep is deliberately not claimed — the lane is not
finished.

* feat(gpu): the last two painters move, and twelve witnesses say so

Completes Stage 5. `62fb93e` landed the transform, the clip and both
resets but left two code-relative painters at unshifted x and the whole
Q#G5 witness set unwritten; its 228 green tests said only that nothing
regressed at offset 0.

The two painters:

  - `push_glyph_extent_rects` — selection/search washes, peer presence
    and diagnostic squiggles. Shifted through `code_x_to_screen`, then
    CROPPED at the gutter rather than dropped: a selection running in
    from off the left edge must paint the part that is visible. That is
    the same boundary Stage 4's review caught the TUI painter getting
    wrong, and it would have been easy to reproduce here.
  - Inline math. The glyph mini-buffers only needed their origin moved —
    their layer already carries the code area's `TextBounds`. The
    fraction rules are quads in the background batch with no scissor of
    their own, so those are cropped by hand.

`crop_to_code_clip_left` is the crop, and `survives_code_clip_left` now
delegates to it, so a caret the crop would discard is never painted.
One boundary rule, not two that agree today.

TWELVE WITNESSES, EACH MUTATION-TESTED. Eleven production mutations —
unshifted wash x, uncropped wash, unshifted math origin, uncropped math
rule, untested caret left edge, missing snapshot reset, missing wrap
reset, unhidden completion anchor, unscrolled glyphs, inverted hit-test
sign, pixel-instead-of-column snap — each fail the intended witness as
an ASSERTION failure, not a compile error. The minimap-stability
witness was mutation-tested separately by threading the offset into
`minimap_vertex_bytes`.

That battery earned its keep immediately. The gutter byte-identity
test's "the code area must actually have moved" assertion is satisfied
by a decoration wash and the caret alone, so it PASSED with
`TextArea.left` pinned to `text_left` — the entire glyph-side mechanism
was unwitnessed and nothing in review would have shown it. Its
replacement isolates the glyph layer: no decorations, and a source line
carrying no caret, whose band is blank at offset 0 and inked after.

ONE DELIBERATE STEP OUTSIDE THE APPROVED SCOPE, and it needs a ruling.

Q#G5 asks for frontend agreement that is "checkable rather than
asserted". Two tests in two crates asserting the same literal is not
that; it is the structural duplication `pmacs-protocol::scroll`'s own
module docs condemn, and that module exists because THIS ARC already
shipped that defect — the scroll indicator, fixed in one copy and left
wrong in the other. So the follow rule moved to
`pmacs_protocol:📜:follow_left`, beside `classify`, and both
frontends call it: `src/editor.rs::horizontal_follow` delegates, and the
GPU converts px <-> columns around it, exact by Q#G3.

The cost is that Stage 5 now touches `src/editor.rs`, which "local GPU
viewport state" does not cover. No wire message and no version bump —
the same argument `classify` already makes. If rejected, reverting is
small: restore the four-line conditional, drop `follow_left` and its
four protocol tests, rewrite the parity witness as a two-sided pin.

GATES, both configurations, five ambient roots isolated: fmt; clippy
`--workspace --all-targets -D warnings`; `--lib` 1920 and `--lib
--features crdt` 2105; horizontal_scroll 11, long_line_readable 3,
line_wrap 6, full_grid_resync 1; `PMACS_REQUIRE_GPU=1 -p pmacs-gpu`
239; `-p pmacs-protocol --lib` 29; both full workspace sweeps;
`git diff --check`.

TWO SWEEP FAILURES, NEITHER THIS LANE'S, both logged:

  - R8, new row: `flat_listview_consumers_render_byte_identically...`
    fails DETERMINISTICALLY, and the merge-base control is done — it
    fails identically on `main`. The row renders with a leading
    directory stripped; it is a prefix strip, not width truncation, and
    the mechanism is NOT diagnosed. Deliberately not fixed here.
  - U3: the R7 selector failed once and passed on rerun. Recorded as a
    new incident, NOT an R7 match — different flavor, and its fragments
    are unverified because I filtered the sweep output before reading
    it. U2 records me making that exact mistake already. Sweeps go to a
    file from now on.

* fix(gpu): the completion anchor is a point, and the witness now says where

Review round 1. One defect, and a lesson about the witnesses that
missed it.

THE DEFECT. `completion_anchor_px` reused `survives_code_clip_left` and
passed `line_height` as the horizontal extent — a VERTICAL dimension
standing in for a horizontal one. The predicate is
`screen_x + w > code_clip_left()`, so an anchor up to a whole line
height left of the gutter "survived". `completion_dropdown_rect` bounds
`ax` against the right margin only, so that x reached the popup's left
edge and painted over the line numbers.

An anchor is a position between glyphs. It has no width, and the popup
it places is drawn to its right. So the predicate is a point:
`screen_x < code_clip_left()`.

The absent left clamp downstream stays absent, deliberately. This
predicate is what guarantees `ax >= code_clip_left()`; a second clamp
would be a duplicate of the same rule, which is the failure mode this
stage's shared-transform design exists to avoid. It is witnessed
instead.

THE LESSON, which is the more useful half. The existing test placed the
anchor 200px off-left — and 200px off-left fails a width-based
predicate too, so it stayed green straight through the defect. The
mutation battery agreed with it, because every mutation asked only
whether REMOVING a check was caught, never whether the check had the
right shape.

A boundary must be tested AT the boundary. The new witness straddles it
by ±0.05px — the same anchor either side of the edge, which no
width-based predicate can separate — and additionally asserts the
popup's own left edge stays out of the gutter, making "no left clamp
needed downstream" a checked claim rather than a comment. Verified both
ways: the new witness fails against the original predicate, the old one
passes against it.

THE AUDIT that finding prompted. Stage 5 has one other left-edge
predicate, the caret's. Its use of `survives_code_clip_left(rect.x,
rect.w)` is correct — a caret quad genuinely is `CARET_WIDTH` wide —
and it was also only tested far from the edge. It is now walked ACROSS
the boundary a column at a time, asserting painted carets are wholly
inside the code area and hidden ones wholly outside.

That pins an argument that was load-bearing and invisible: because
`horizontal_follow` snaps to whole columns, a caret is never partly
behind the gutter, since `CARET_WIDTH` (2px) is far below any code
advance. Substituting `rect.h` for `rect.w` — the exact error above —
fails it. An over-width smaller than one advance does not, and that is
the invariant rather than a gap.

SCOPE. `follow_left` recorded as the one approved exception to "local
GPU viewport state" in the framing doc, new §1.2a: what it is, why the
Q#G5 parity witness cannot be real without it, and what it does not do
— no viewport state moved, no wire message, no version bump.

GATES, both configurations, five ambient roots isolated, sweeps
redirected to files per U3's lesson: fmt; clippy `--workspace
--all-targets -D warnings`; `--lib` 1920 and crdt 2105;
`-p pmacs-protocol --lib` 29; `PMACS_REQUIRE_GPU=1 -p pmacs-gpu` 241;
horizontal_scroll 11, long_line_readable 3, line_wrap 6,
full_grid_resync 1; both full workspace sweeps; `git diff --check`.

The only sweep failure is R8, confirmed by its recorded fragments —
pre-existing, deterministic, merge-base controlled against `main`, and
not this lane's.

Levi Neuwirth bec8fc9aae
feat(view): horizontal scroll, text and decorations together
Stage 4 of the QoL arc, framing revision 4 (approved). Under
`truncate`, text past the right edge was UNREACHABLE; moving the cursor
now brings it into view. Automatic only — no commands, no bindings, no
new interaction island (Q#HS2).

THE CONTRACT. `view_left` is an unsnapped per-window display column
(Q#HS7(a)), and each line derives its own effective edge during the
walk it already performs from column 0. Starting at 0 is not laziness:
tab expansion depends on the absolute column from the line start, so a
walk beginning at the edge would put tab stops in the wrong place. The
walk stays line-absolute and only the emit translates.

Where the edge bisects a wide glyph on a given line (Q#HS7(c′)), its
trailing cell paints a styled BLANK rather than a `Continuation` — that
glyph means "the cell before me is a wide glyph's head", and here that
cell is off-screen, so emitting it would name a cell nobody painted.
The mapping designates that cell to the glyph's START byte, which keeps
`byte_at_place` total over visible cells and makes the character the
user scrolled toward clickable. Tabs keep FORWARD rounding (Q#HS7(c″))
— preserved, not chosen.

DECORATIONS TRAVEL WITH THE TEXT. The first version of this commit
translated the base glyph walk and nothing else, which split the frame
in half: at `view_left = 10` a glyph from source column 10 painted at
screen column 0 while its syntax style, diagnostic underline, search
wash and `BufferStyleOverlay` span painted at screen column 10 — or
vanished. Decorations drifting off the characters they describe,
silently, and only once a window had been scrolled.

Every such site carried the same two lines (`start_col.min(max_cols)`,
`end_col.min(max_cols)`), correct only while the left edge was pinned
at zero. `Viewport::visible_cols` is now the one rule all FIVE adopters
share — syntax/LSP styling, diagnostic underlines, search washes,
`BufferStyleOverlay`, and the selection painter — so a future decorator
inherits the translation instead of re-deriving it. It also subsumes
the old `end_col <= start_col` guard rather than sitting beside it.
`StyleSpanOverlay` and `VirtualCellOverlay` are deliberately untouched:
they are documented as viewport-relative, so translating them would be
the mirror defect.

The selection painter was nearly a sixth site with its own copy of the
rule, which I justified by a width it supposedly needed and the
viewport lacked. That was FALSE — the render viewport's
`cell_size.cols` is already `rect.size.cols - gutter_w` and its origin
already sits past the gutter. It now takes that same viewport and drops
its `rect`/`gutter_w` parameters entirely. A canonical rule with one
honest exception is not canonical.

The selection painter had the same defect with a worse failure mode: it
asked `pos_to_display` through the LIVE context, which returns `None`
for a position left of the edge, so a selection beginning off-screen
and reaching into view took `continue` and painted NOTHING. That is the
common shape, not an edge case — select rightward from column 0 past
the window width and the view scrolls with the cursor.

TWO THINGS THE TESTS FOUND, both in `pos_to_display`. My framing note
said a caret sits between characters so never lands inside a glyph;
true for the caret, false for the DESIGNATION direction — the glyph's
start byte must map to its visible trailing cell, so `screen_col` needs
the straddle rule and not a bare subtraction. And the `take == 0` early
return short-circuited the translation entirely, so byte 0 looked
visible at every offset.

`view_left` is inert under `wrap` BY CONSTRUCTION —
`LayoutCtx::effective_left` and `Viewport::left_edge` return 0 while
wrapping — rather than by every caller remembering.

Persisted per leaf at DESKTOP_VERSION 1 (Q#HS5) with both approval
conditions: `#[serde(default)]` and a literal v1 JSON fixture omitting
the field, hand-written because a generated one would gain the field
and prove nothing.

Also: `view_left: window.view_left` in the render viewport, not a
literal 0. My mechanical fill put 0 there and it is EXACTLY the
`aa3cd4d` defect — coordinates and the indicator following the scroll
while the painter stays pinned at column 0.

BITE, per clause. Forcing `bisected = false` fails the multi-line
straddle witness; dropping the backward designation fails the
round-trip witness; removing `#[serde(default)]` fails the v1 fixture;
pinning `visible_cols` to an absolute clamp fails all three decorator
witnesses; restoring the selection painter's live-context lookup fails
the off-screen-start selection witness. Each alone. And with selection
now reading the shared helper, pinning `visible_cols` to an absolute
clamp fails the selection witnesses TOO — which is the check that the
duplication is really gone rather than merely reworded.

One unrelated red, logged as R7 in ci-red-signatures.md — the first
this session with a COMPLETE signature, so a matchable row rather than
a U note. `pmacs-gpu`'s managed-retry attach hit a BrokenPipe once
under full-sweep load and did not reproduce (6 isolated runs plus a
clean 113-target sweep). Per the rerun rule that is intermittence only,
and the row explicitly does not claim harmlessness. Not attributed to
this lane: Stage 4 touches no `pmacs-gpu` file and adds no wire
surface.

Gates: fmt; clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings, both
configurations; `cargo test --workspace --no-fail-fast -- --skip
basedpyright` 113 targets exit 0, and the same with --features crdt,
113 targets exit 0; git diff --check. No protocol change, so no version
bump and no protocol-bump matrix.

test: the report itself, at a real PTY — and §1.1 was wrong
Closes Stage 3's remaining obligations.

THE PTY TEST. Every other test in this lane checks a mechanism.
tests/long_line_readable_acceptance.rs checks the complaint: the
shipped binary, a real 80x24 PTY, one source line 200 columns wide,
and an assertion that its tail marker reaches the host. It bites —
`scripts/bite HEAD~2 src/editor.rs --test long_line_readable_acceptance`
against the pre-aa3cd4d editor never paints TAILZQX in 20s.

Its truncate control (an isolated init.lua pinning the mode) is what
makes that marker discriminating, and it is also the honest statement
of what truncate costs today: those bytes are not off-screen, they are
unreachable until Stage 4.

What it does not prove: the workspace has no screen model and no
vt100/termwiz/vte, so this shows the tail was WRITTEN to the terminal,
not which row a human would point at. That is nonetheless the whole of
the report — under truncation the bytes are never emitted at all.

§1.1 WAS WRONG, FOR NINETEEN REVISIONS. `editing.fill-column` is not
an orphaned registry setting "of the exact shape Stage 1 just fixed".
Both cited occurrences are inside `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` — fixture
names in round-trip tests covering one setting per ConfigKind. Two of
those five names are real; three, including this one, are defined
nowhere else in the tree. There is no shipped setting, so the Q#LL4
deliverable "sharpen its description" had no object.

The mechanism is worth more than the correction. A grep hit at a src/
path, a genuine `r.define(...)` call that is real API usage rather
than a mock, and `#[cfg(test)]` about fifty lines above the citation.
Every later revision inherited the conclusion instead of the evidence,
and three review rounds reasoned about the consequences of an orphaned
setting rather than re-checking that it existed. A file:line citation
is not a substitute for reading the scope it sits in.

Had it gone unchecked into implementation, Stage 3 would have shipped
an edit to a unit-test fixture believing it was rewording a
user-visible setting — a no-op with a misleading commit message.

§1.1 is withdrawn in place, keeping the original text and the
reasoning that produced it; §6's answer is unchanged (a setting that
does not exist is a stronger reason not to adopt it) and its premise
corrected. Both fixture sites now say they are fixtures. The approval
is not reopened: nothing else in the document rested on §1.1, which
argued for a display setting separate from fill-column — which is what
shipped.

AND ONE UNCLASSIFIABLE RED, logged as U1 in ci-red-signatures.md. A
`-p pmacs-gpu` run went 227/1 once; every run since is 228/0. The
failing test name was NOT captured, because I piped that command
through `tail -3` and discarded the failure block above the summary.
36 later runs are clean, 6 under deliberate concurrent load — which
per the rerun rule establishes intermittence only, and without a
selector not even that. Deliberately NOT matched against A1 despite
A1 also being GPU-headless-under-load: matching requires an exact
selector and every required fragment, and calling a shapeless red
"probably the known one" is the reputation-by-adjacency that file
exists to deny.

Levi Neuwirth aa3cd4da34
fix(editor): the renderer never got the mode everything else was reading
The frame resolved ui.line-wrap, recorded it on the window, and fed it
to the coordinate mapping and the scroll indicator --- while the
viewport handed TextView::render a hard-coded Truncate. With the
default of wrap, that meant the cursor was placed for wrapped text and
the indicator reckoned against wrapped rows while the text was still
clipped at the edge. The worst possible split: every part that reports
where things are agreed, and the part that draws them did not.

The viewport now reads window.last_wrap, so it consumes the same single
resolution as everything else rather than resolving again.

How it survived: the edit was in a script that raised on a LATER
assertion, so nothing was written; a follow-up script's replace then
matched nothing and silently did nothing. Every test I had asked "is
the mode right?" and none asked "is the text wrapped?", so all of them
passed.

Hence the new witness reads the GRID. the_default_actually_wraps_the_
painted_text goes through RenderState and reconstructs rows from the
emitted CellDelta spans, for two reasons: the defect lived in the
DRIVER, between the resolved mode and the viewport it built, so a test
building its own viewport would have passed against it --- and the
spans are what a TUI actually consumes. truncate_clips_the_painted_text
is its control, so the pair is discriminating rather than merely true.

It bites: restoring the hard-coded Truncate fails the wrap witness
while all five other tests keep passing, which is exactly the shape
that let it through.

feat(editor): the TUI scroll indicator stops lying under wrapping
format_scroll_indicator derives every branch from total_lines, and its
first branch is `if total_lines <= 1 { return "All" }`. A one-line
buffer wrapping to fifty rows still has one line, so the indicator
claimed the whole buffer was on screen while forty-nine rows sat below
the viewport.

Under wrap the TUI now classifies through pmacs_protocol:📜
All/Top/Bot from LOCAL predicates, the percentage from byte position.
Under truncate it calls the existing formatter with the same arguments
in the same units, so that output is byte-identical by construction and
every existing formatter test stays valid.

The local predicate needed a new fact, and getting it right took two
attempts. TextView::render now records whether the walk ran out of
BUFFER before it ran out of rows --- recorded by the walk rather than
recomputed, because under wrapping it cannot be derived from line
counts and a second derivation could disagree with what was painted.

The first version was `line >= line_count`, which is true whenever the
last line was STARTED. Under wrapping that is exactly the wrong moment:
a fifty-row line begun on the last visible row would report the buffer
end as on screen. It needs `row_offset <= max_rows` as well --- the
rows it wanted actually fit. The witness caught it; the reasoning did
not.

The GPU half is NOT in this commit, and that is deliberate. I wired it,
and extreme_sizes_render_with_contained_popups failed --- correctly.
That test asserts the frame diff between two renders is confined to the
completion popup, and my last_visible predicate read self.view_range,
which the popup's reshape moves, so the status text changed between the
two frames. The predicate was also simply wrong: view_range includes
overscan, so it can reach EOF while the last row is off-screen. A
stable, correct local predicate on that side needs an understanding of
the slice/overscan relationship I do not have yet, and a guess there
would ship the same class of defect this stage exists to remove.
Reverted; the GPU indicator remains open work.

feat: ui.line-wrap, resolved once and told to both frontends
The setting exists now, and both frontends honor it. This is the commit
that turns the stage on: the grid renderer, the coordinate mapping, and
the GPU were all built and tested against a mode nothing could set.

ui.line-wrap is buffer-local, an enum of wrap and truncate, defaulting
to wrap. A closed set rather than a string, so an unknown value is
impossible rather than handled --- and so adding "word" later is
additive. It lives in ui., not editing.: editing.* is buffer-editing
behavior, this changes only how text is SHOWN, and the two existing
ui.* settings carry a gpu- prefix to mark frontend-specific ones, so
the absence of a prefix is what says "both frontends".

Resolved exactly once. The render loop reads it per window per frame
and records it on the window; the viewport is built FROM that, and
Window::layout_ctx hands the same answer to all twenty coordinate call
sites. Nothing re-resolves, so two callers cannot disagree about one
buffer. The earlier write-back from viewport to window is removed as
circular now that the resolution precedes the viewport.

Semantic frontends are told over LineWrapFacts, gated at v22 in the
producer and again in the daemon write loop. The dedup key is the
(buffer, wrap) PAIR, and that is the whole design rather than a
micro-optimisation: font size is global, so caching it by value is
right, but wrap mode is buffer-local, so a value-keyed cache stays
silent when the user switches from a truncating buffer to a wrapping
one --- a real mode change with no config event behind it.
a_buffer_switch_re_emits_the_wrap_mode pins that, and it bites: keying
the cache on the mode alone fails it while every other test still
passes, which is exactly how the bug would have shipped.

Two existing tests moved, and both moved for the right reason rather
than because they were stale. The semantic allowlist gains the variant,
and the first-frame count goes 7 to 8 --- the second is really an
assertion that the attach trigger works: a semantic frontend that is
not told on its first frame never learns the setting at all.

Also ships ui.toggle-line-wrap, and its status line says the quiet part
--- turning wrapping off makes text past the right edge unreachable
until horizontal scrolling lands in Stage 4. That belongs where a user
sees it, not only in the framing.

fix: three ways the wrap mode failed to reach the thing it names
All three were review findings, and all three shared a shape: the code
that decided a mode and the thing that held it were allowed to differ.

The GPU compared against a shadow field. code_wrap started at
Wrap::None while the cosmic-text buffer had never had set_wrap called
at all, so it was still on the constructor default WordOrGlyph. Since
apply_line_wrap short-circuits when the request already matches, the
FIRST wrap: false was a no-op and the document kept word wrapping. The
existing test hid it by sending true first, which synced the buffer as
a side effect.

Fixed twice over. The document buffer now declares its wrap at
construction like every other buffer in the file --- Wrap::Glyph, not
None, because ui.line-wrap defaults to wrap, so a frontend told nothing
(or talking to a pre-v22 daemon that never will tell it) should already
be in the default mode. And the shadow field is GONE: apply_line_wrap
reads self.buffer.wrap() instead. A cached copy can disagree with the
authority; reading the authority cannot. Same principle as byte
anchoring and the fold-projection cache key.

The first attempt at that fix set Wrap::None at construction, which
made truncate the pre-message default and broke eleven tests --- the
GPU had always wrapped, and the setting's default is wrap. The failures
were right and the change was wrong.

A one-column viewport shoved every wide glyph down a row. The rule
moves a double-width glyph to the next row when it will not fit in the
cells left, but at one column it will not fit there either --- so a
single CJK character rendered on row 1 with row 0 left blank, and
clipped anyway. Now it only moves when the next row could actually hold
it (max_cols >= 2); below that it clips in place, which is what
Truncate does at the edge for exactly the same reason.

A zero-column content area panicked. Under Wrap the first
col >= max_cols test is true immediately, so the walk advanced a row
and then indexed column 0 of a zero-width grid. Reachable whenever the
gutter consumes the window's width. paint_line now returns before the
walk, and put() refuses out-of-range columns as a second line.

Four witnesses, all biting. The GPU one took three attempts to make
discriminating: wrap-versus-truncate could not see the bug (both modes
differ from each other either way), and a row-count comparison between
spaced and solid text did not discriminate at the width I chose ---
measured, not assumed. Asserting buffer.wrap() directly does, and fails
with left: WordOrGlyph, right: Glyph.

feat(protocol): LineWrapFacts at v22, and the GPU stops inheriting a default
The GPU is not a grid consumer --- it ignores the CellDelta family and
lays out locally --- so ui.line-wrap reaching the viewport reaches only
the TUI. Without a wire message, setting truncate would change one
frontend and leave the other wrapping: exactly the cross-frontend
disagreement this stage exists to remove.

LineWrapFacts is appended after PanelFrame, the final v21 variant, so
no postcard discriminant moves. PROTOCOL_VERSION 21 -> 22;
ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION stays at 20, per its own doc --- moving the
advertised baseline is reserved for changes that cannot be expressed
additively, and this one can. A v21 frontend negotiates v21, never
receives the variant, and keeps its behavior.

It carries buffer_id because the mode is buffer-local. That is also why
the daemon must resend on BUFFER SWITCH, not only on attach and config
change: font size is global, wrap mode is not, so moving from a
truncate buffer to a wrap buffer changes the effective mode with no
config event at all. The GPU handler leans on that --- it ignores a
message for any buffer other than the one on screen, rather than
keeping a per-buffer cache.

On the GPU side the document buffer had never called set_wrap, so it
was running on cosmic-text's constructor default of WordOrGlyph: word
wrap nobody chose. code_wrap makes it explicit in both directions and
settles on Wrap::Glyph. Character wrap is what the grid can implement
identically without pulling UAX #14 into it, and what Emacs does by
default. GUI users lose word wrap --- a deliberate, documented trade
for the two frontends agreeing, and it belongs in the release notes.

Changing wrap reflows the document exactly like a font change, so the
retained scroll anchor is repaired through the existing
normalize_code_scroll rather than left pointing at a row that no longer
exists.

Three test updates that were NOT stale assertions. The version pin and
the resume ladder both had to widen, and the GPU's byte-exact bootstrap
test failed because SUPPORTED_PROTOCOL_VERSIONS still ended at 21 ---
the handshake was genuinely rejecting v22. That test earned its keep.

Two new GPU witnesses. the_gpu_honors_an_explicit_non_wrap_mode is the
discriminating case framing section 7 asked for: the existing
wrapped_caret test passes against a wrap nobody configured, so it
cannot tell "honors the setting" from "the default happened to match".
Comparing row counts across the two modes can.

feat(view): wrap-aware coordinates, breaking in and additive out
pos_to_display and display_to_pos now take a LayoutCtx and DisplayCoord
carries a sub_row. The asymmetry is the whole audit strategy, and it
played out as designed.

Breaking on the way in: adding a required parameter turned the audit
into 61 compiler errors instead of a grep. Additive on the way out:
sub_row defaults to 0, so overlay_paint's `row - view_top` and vertical
motion's bounds check stayed CORRECT rather than merely findable ---
neither needed touching. row is still the source line. Redefining it as
a visual row would have broken both silently.

Two structural gaps this surfaced, neither in the framing:

Window recorded last_visible_rows but no width, so the coordinate
callers --- vertical motion, paging, overlay placement --- had nothing
to build a context from. Added last_content_cols, taken from the
viewport the renderer actually used rather than recomputed: a second
derivation could disagree, and the disagreement would show only as a
cursor on the wrong row. Content width, not window width, because the
gutter grows at the line-count digit boundary.

The mode had the same problem one level up. It is buffer-local and the
registry has no ambient buffer, so only the driver can resolve it ---
but every consumer holds a window, not a registry. Window::last_wrap is
recorded beside the width and read through Window::layout_ctx(), so
there is ONE resolution consumed everywhere. When ui.line-wrap is
registered, only the driver changes and all twenty call sites become
wrap-aware together. The alternative, each caller resolving for itself,
is how two callers end up disagreeing about one buffer.

One real regression, caught by the render tests rather than reasoning:
generalising row_of_byte into place_of_byte lost the boundary rule. A
byte landing exactly on a row edge reported (row, max_cols) instead of
(row+1, 0), so a viewport anchored there painted the wrong row. The fix
is the rule framing section 7 already settled --- the wrap position is
owned by column 0 of the NEXT row, because that cell always exists and
(row, max_cols) does not.

Five coordinate witnesses. Identity on every cursor boundary of a line
containing a tab and a CJK glyph, across four widths; projection to the
codepoint start for interior bytes, unchanged by wrapping; the two
distinct adjacent codepoints across a break mapping distinctly; row
staying the source line; and a truncate control. They bite --- forcing
the wrap branch off fails three, including the round trip.

feat(text_view): wrap long lines, with the rule written exactly once
The grid renderer can now continue a line onto the following rows.
Truncate is unchanged: --lib was 1900/0 before these tests and is
1907/0 with them, and every pre-existing assertion passes untouched.

advance_wrapped is the whole rule and it exists ONCE. row_of_byte and
paint_line both go through it because they must agree perfectly --- the
first decides which visual row the viewport's byte anchor sits on, the
second decides which row the text is drawn on. Two copies that drifted
by one row would scroll the buffer to a position it does not render: a
defect with no local symptom, and the same shape review has caught four
times in this lane's framing. the_anchor_row_matches_where_the_text_is_
painted pins the agreement across four widths and every character
boundary of a line containing a tab and a CJK glyph.

Three rules the walk had to settle, none of which the framing decided:

A tab fills to the row's end and stops; it never spans a wrap. Column 0
of the next row is itself a tab stop, so alignment survives the break
rather than being approximated. Carrying the remaining pad across would
land the next character at a column the tab-stop arithmetic never
chose.

A double-width glyph with one cell left moves to the next row whole,
rather than being split or half-painted. Truncate keeps its existing
behavior instead --- lead cell painted, continuation omitted. That is
arguably worse and it is deliberately not fixed here: Truncate must
stay byte-identical, and an improvement smuggled in beside a refactor
is how identity cases stop being identity.

The break belongs to the character that could not fit, so it is taken
before drawing rather than after the previous glyph.

Rendering clears every row up front now. Under Wrap a row's occupant is
not known until the line reaching it has been laid out, so clearing
cannot stay inside the per-line walk --- but every row is still blanked
exactly once, as before.

Seven tests. They bite: forcing the wrap branch off fails five of them,
including the anchor-agreement witness, while the Truncate control
keeps passing.

feat(view): WrapMode, threaded to every viewport and pinned to Truncate
Inert by construction. Adds the type and the Viewport field, sets all
31 construction sites to Truncate, and changes no rendering: --lib is
1900/0 and crdt 2085/0, the same counts as the parent commit.

The field is required rather than defaulted on purpose. A default would
have let 31 sites stay silent about which behavior they meant; a
required field makes each one state it, so the pre-existing sites now
read as deliberately unwrapped rather than merely untouched. The
compiler enumerated them, including five integration tests --- Viewport
is public API, so this is a real break, and the break is the point.

The render driver is pinned to Truncate too. The wrap path does not
exist yet, and exposing a mode before the cursor mapping honors it
would ship a setting that renders one thing and navigates another ---
the shape of defect this lane exists to remove, not add.

Two notes on getting here, since both were nearly landed:

The first mechanical patch matched every `folds,` line and put a wrap
field into function call sites and a FoldStore literal. Scoping the
insertion to Viewport literals cut it from 40 sites to 31. The compiler
caught it, but only because a struct field cannot be mistaken for an
argument; a same-arity call would have compiled.

While rewriting the character walk I changed the wide-character edge
case --- a double-width glyph with one cell left now breaking instead
of painting a lone lead cell. That is arguably better behavior and it
is NOT this commit's to make: Truncate must be byte-identical, and an
"improvement" smuggled in beside a refactor is how identity cases stop
being identity cases. Reverted; the walk is untouched.

feat(zoom): GUI zoom over the font preference that already existed
Ctrl +/- had no effect whatsoever in the GPU frontend. Stage 1 (#219)
fixed what zoom did to the TUI; this is the other half.

NO RENDERING WORK. FontMetrics::scale already derived every GUI
dimension — code size, line height, status band, divider, menu rows,
minibuffer dropdown, gutter advance — and apply_font_facts already
re-metriced all seven buffers in one transaction. This drives the
preference that existed: two settings, three commands, and a restore.

Q#Z1 = (c). Relative zoom needs an origin and the daemon is built never
to know one — font_pref.rs is explicit that it "never learns metrics,
advances, or what resolves". Hardcoding 16.0 would put a pixel constant
on the daemon side; always sending a size would destroy the `None`
state for everyone who never zooms. A configured base is the only
option where the daemon still infers nothing, and the untouched path
stays byte-identical.

THREE THINGS REVIEW CAUGHT THAT REVISION 1 HAD WRONG.

Q#Z3 was not implementable as framed. `keymap_stack::Scope` is
Buffer | Mode | Global and carries no frontend identity, so "bind on
GPU frontends only" does not exist; and FrontendEvent has no
command-invocation variant, so the GPU cannot ask for a command by name
either. A global binding would capture the chord in the TUI and take
away the terminal's own zoom — the very thing the user is pressing it
for. Commands ship; the binding waits on capability-aware keymap
resolution, which is now a named follow-on rather than something
smuggled in here.

The restore seam did not exist. Builtins and init.lua both run BEFORE
install_state_dirs, so a pmacs.state.read at module load returns
nothing, always. saveplace and recentf never meet this because both
read lazily inside functions; zoom must apply with no user action,
which makes it this project's first eager state consumer. Restore lives
at the end of install_state_dirs — by definition the moment state
becomes readable, so it cannot be ordered wrongly and a future third
startup path gets it without knowing it had to ask.

Every size write clobbered the family. set_font replaces both fields
unconditionally, so { size = n } alone silently cleared a configured
family until restart.

BITTEN, THREE WAYS. Dropping family preservation fails 3 tests.
Reverting to the framing's own first parser `^(%d+)$` fails 4 including
the seam restore — it anchors to end-of-subject and rejects the
newline-terminated file the writer emits, which is the contradiction
review caught in the framing before it reached code. Hardcoding the
16.0 origin fails the base test.

Also recorded: a loaded crdt run failed two m6_1 PTY tests with
`stty -a output was: ""`. That is R4/R6's empty-content readiness
family, and it means the readiness-helper audit's scope is wider than
three wait_for_file copies under tests/ — src/process.rs's own tests
carry the shape. Undiagnosed, load-sensitive, green isolated and on a
quiet full run; a scope note for that lane, not a registry row, since
the registry judges red CI runs and these were local.

fix(frontend): honor full_grid — the flag existed and nothing read it
Zooming a terminal with Ctrl +/- left the TUI showing the previous
frame through the new one. Q#FG1 = A, as approved.

THE RULE WAS ALREADY WRITTEN DOWN, ON A PRIVATE FIELD.
src/instance_render.rs:36 says remote frontends "must blank their local
buffer before applying the deltas" — the binding contract, in the one
place a consumer author will never look. The protocol type said only
that full_grid marks "the initial sync ... versus an incremental
frame": a label, from which no obligation follows. So FG-INV now lives
on InstanceMessage::CellDelta, where whoever writes the next frontend
reads it. A resync is a picture of the screen's INK, not of the screen.

The producer diffs against a blank grid, so a cell that should be blank
produces no span. src/frontend.rs then took `CellDelta { spans, .. }`
and discarded the flag. That was correct for exactly one frame — the
fresh-attach frame, which follows Frontend::new's Clear — and wrong for
every resize after, which follows nothing. A font-size change is the
worst case because the terminal reflows in place rather than dropping
content, so the maximum number of stale glyphs survive.

emit_cell_delta joins emit_span and emit_status_overlay as a pure
helper over a writer; apply_message routes through it. No struct
change, no generic parameter, no new pattern.

WHY SEVEN TESTS MISSED IT. Every one asserts the producer SETS the
flag; none asserted a consumer ACTS on it, and no runtime reader
existed workspace-wide. "Add a test for the flag" had already been
done and did not help. Handoff §5's enforcement-vs-documentation drift,
in a second register.

Three unit witnesses, each bitten independently. The empty-spans case
earns its own test rather than folding into the others: under the
plausible `spans.is_empty()` early return the ordering test still
PASSES and only that one fails — and an empty resync is exactly the
frame whose entire content is the blanking.

The PTY acceptance drives a real SIGWINCH, and its mark is anchored to
CONTENT rather than time. A time-based settle was written first and is
unusable: a settled pmacs screen emits per-frame bytes forever, so
"output stopped growing" never becomes true. Anchoring just past the
first painted byte excludes both startup clears by construction —
Frontend::new clears before any frame exists, and the first frame is
itself a resync whose clear precedes its own spans. Bitten against the
original defect: 34,831 bytes after the first painted frame, no CSI 2 J
anywhere in them.

What it does not prove, stated here rather than found in review: the
suites assert on raw bytes, with no screen model and no vt100/termwiz/
vte dependency. This shows pmacs emitted a blank at the right moment,
not that the screen ended correct.

Verified: fmt, clippy, diff-check, --lib 1900/0, crdt 2085/0, m4 150/0,
gpu 221/0, and the grid-driving suites — full_grid_resync 1/1, vterm
1/2/3 9+9+5, m5_5 15, m5_8 5, bottom_panel_stage1 47.

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.

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.

docs: absorb the v1.1.0 release, and correct what it made stale
Two parts, one intent: record the release, and fix the user-facing
surfaces it falsified.

ABSORPTION. v1.1.0 shipped and nothing recorded it. docs/active-work.md
had no distribution lane, the handoff anchor still named c5f7501, and
COHERENCE.md — a REQUIRED framing input — still asserted "zero release
machinery exists" and graded journey step 1 as source-build-only. Both
are now false, and a framing doc written against them would have been
written against a lie.

  * §0 scorecard: step 1 Partial -> Works; §17 Missing -> Partial; the
    journey row moves off "steps 1, 11 and 12 remain the thin end" to
    name 11 and 12 only.
  * §17 ground truth rewritten: what Stage 1 shipped, and the nine
    things it explicitly did not.
  * §20 Priority 8: "State: zero" -> Stage 1 shipped, with the blocker
    it named ("every other priority's value is invisible until this one
    exists") recorded as LIFTED. Its next increment is a DECISION about
    channels/update/signing, not a queued plan — worth stating so nobody
    treats Stage 2 as pre-approved.
  * A distribution lane in active-work.md, rewritten-not-removed because
    the arc is not done.

Five durable facts move to the handoff §1, each of which cost something
to learn:

  * a release build can produce FIVE binaries and three must never ship;
    layer-2 exclusion is load-bearing, demonstrated when target/release
    still held all three after building only two;
  * `env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")` expands in the crate being COMPILED, and
    three correct tests could not fail while two crates shared a number;
  * pin release runners, and assert the glibc floor from the binary
    rather than trusting the pin;
  * a tag pushed before its workflow reaches the default branch does
    nothing, SILENTLY;
  * verify from the downloaded artifact, with a negative control — the
    1,576 `loro` strings mean nothing without the control build's zero.

STALENESS, found by reading the surfaces a new downloader hits first.

`pmacs --help` claimed the TUI was "currently the only frontend;
reserved for the M4 GUI rollout, where `pmacs` will default to the GUI".
That is not merely dated — it is false in a release that SHIPS the GPU
frontend as a second binary. Rewritten to say what -nw actually does
(name the default explicitly for scripts and wrappers), and --gpu now
states its two real preconditions: a `crdt` build, and pmacs-gpu either
beside the binary or on PATH. Both are things a downloader can get
wrong and neither was documented where they would look.

Also in main.rs: the TLS attach line said "activation in v0.2" and four
doc comments dated themselves "v0.1" or "M4+" while describing behaviour
that is still current. The behaviour claims were accurate; only the
version labels lied, so the labels are gone rather than the sentences
rewritten. One comment gained a correction it needed regardless —
FrontendChoice is IN-PROCESS dispatch and the GPU frontend is not a
value of it, which the old text implied it eventually would be.

README status block: v1.0.0 -> v1.1.0, protocol v20 -> v21, and it
pointed at docs/roadmap-2026-07.md for "current direction" — a file that
opens by calling itself a historical snapshot and redirecting to the
handoff. It now points at COHERENCE.md and the handoff, and mentions the
arcs that landed since it was last touched.

Verified: fmt, diff-check, clippy with and without crdt, --lib 1896,
--lib --features crdt 2081, pmacs-protocol 19, m4 149, required GPU 221,
and `pmacs --help` rendered and read.

Levi Neuwirth 84b1620e7e
feat(release): binaries on tag — Distribution Stage 1
.github/workflows/ had exactly one workflow and it was test-only: no
release job, no artifact upload, no tags-to-binaries path. Installing
pmacs meant `git clone` plus knowing the feature-flag matrix.
COHERENCE.md §17 grades this "missing — zero release machinery exists";
this moves it to Partial and completes journey step 1.

Scope is one stage: binaries when a `v*` tag is pushed, attached to a
GitHub Release. Channels, rollback, update-in-place, signing, RHEL 9 and
Intel macOS are out of scope and named in the framing's §5.

WHAT SHIPS: pmacs and pmacs-gpu, both at 1.1.0, CRDT-enabled, co-located
in one archive, with SHA256SUMS. pmacs-protocol stays at 1.0.0 — it is
the wire crate and versions on its own schedule.

THE VERSION BUMP EXPOSED A REAL DEFECT, and it is the reason this PR
touches src/ at all. `InstanceIdentity::for_running_process` is defined
in pmacs-protocol and expanded `env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")` THERE. `env!`
expands in the crate being compiled, so the field documented as "Pmacs
version string" carried the PROTOCOL crate's version. That identity
reaches Lua as `pmacs.instance.identity()` and goes on the wire in
`Hello`, so a 1.1.0 release would have told every attached frontend it
was 1.0.0.

Nothing could have caught it earlier. Three tests assert
`id.pmacs_version == env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")` evaluated in the pmacs
crate — the correct assertion — but while both crates read 1.0.0 they
compared the same number reached by two different paths and COULD NOT
FAIL. Deciding to hold pmacs-protocol at 1.0.0 while moving pmacs is
what made them discriminating; all three failed on the bump. The version
is now a parameter so `env!` expands in the caller's crate. A test can
be correct and still prove nothing when the two things it compares are
equal for a reason unrelated to the code under test.

TWO LAYERS OF BINARY EXCLUSION, and layer 2 is load-bearing —
demonstrated, not argued. Cargo auto-discovers src/bin/*.rs, so a
release build can produce five binaries and three must never ship
(pmacs-audit is a contributor tool; pmacs_fake_lsp and pmacs_fake_mcp
are test fixtures). Layer 1 names explicit --bin targets. Layer 2 stages
an explicit asset list, and building this branch produced exactly the
case it guards: after building ONLY --bin pmacs and -p pmacs-gpu,
target/release still held all three forbidden binaries, left by an
earlier `cargo test --release`. Swatinem/rust-cache restores that kind
of directory in CI. An implementation trusting layer 1 and archiving the
directory would have published a fake language server in the first
release.

The three archive assertions are bite-verified: a smuggled
pmacs_fake_lsp, a missing pmacs-gpu, and a cleared executable bit are
each caught, with the honest archive passing.

THE GLIBC FLOOR IS ASSERTED, NOT TRUSTED. Pinning ubuntu-22.04 sets the
floor at 2.35 (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 — NOT RHEL 9 at 2.34, which needs
a container or cross-build and is parked). But a pinned runner proves
nothing about the artifact, and the failure surfaces as a bare
`GLIBC_2.39 not found` on a user's machine with no clue which commit
caused it. The build reads versioned-symbol requirements out of the
binary and fails above the floor, so switching to ubuntu-latest fails in
CI instead of shipping. Bite-verified both directions on a glibc 2.44
host. Both runners are pinned; macos-latest would drift the minimum
supported macOS with no commit to point at.

Preflight runs before any build: the tag must match the root crate
version (stripping a prerelease suffix, so v1.1.0-rc.1 and v1.1.0 both
match 1.1.0), and the tagged commit must be an ancestor of main. Both
catch mistakes that are cheap now and expensive once a public URL
exists. The suite is not re-run — CI already tested the commit — but
nothing otherwise enforced that a tag points at a tested one.

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 crdt sweep at 3,715 passed / 0 failed / 30
ignored — identical to the pre-change baseline, so the protocol
signature change broke nothing. Archive staging, contents, executable
bits and both --version outputs were exercised against a real release
build locally.

No release is cut by this PR. Per the framing's §7 the RC is tagged
after merge, from the merge SHA.

fix(lint): make the crdt targets pass clippy for the first time
`cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --features crdt -- -D warnings`
has never passed on main. The standing gate list runs clippy without
`crdt`, so these lints have never been enforced, and any CI job that
compiles the crdt targets would be red on arrival. This is framing §7
step 1: nothing else in the lane is testable until it lands.

Eight findings across four files, none behavioral:

  src/daemon.rs                              useless_conversion (u64)
  src/daemon.rs                              missing doc backticks
  src/daemon.rs                              too_many_lines (112/100)
  tests/auto_indent_crdt_acceptance.rs       missing doc backticks
  tests/bottom_panel_stage2b_gpu_acceptance  too_many_lines (104/100)
  tests/vterm_stage3_acceptance.rs           too_many_lines (122/100)
  tests/vterm_stage3_acceptance.rs           too_many_lines (132/100)
  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 4d4bb22035 Merge remote-tracking branch 'githubsucks/main' into discovery-stage1-commands 2026-07-31 20:10:02 -04:00
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 85e4ee03bb feat(bootstrap): make the ambient storage roots a parameter
`EditorState::new` resolves two storage roots from the process
environment before it returns: the data root, which the bundled-package
materialization then WRITES into unconditionally (outside every `cfg`
guard), and the config root, from which `init.lua` is read.

The `#[cfg(not(test))]` guard on the second was written to stop the
crate's own unit tests picking up a developer's real `init.lua`. It does
exactly that and nothing more: `cfg(test)` is set only while compiling
the lib's own tests, so an integration test in `tests/` — compiled
without it — reads the real config and writes the real data root. On a
machine with a real `~/.config/pmacs/init.lua`, that is 11 deterministic
failures in `compile_mode_acceptance`, attributed to whatever branch is
checked out.

Tests cannot fix that themselves: `std::env::set_var` is `unsafe` and
this crate is `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` — the same constraint that
produced `Installer::with_install_root_override`. So isolation arrives as
a parameter.

`BootstrapRoots` names the four storage roots (config, data, state,
cache). `ambient()` leaves every one `None` and every resolution goes to
the environment exactly as today, so production is unchanged.
`new_with_roots` and `open_with_roots` take it — both, because `open`
calls `Self::new()` internally and a constructor-only parameter would
leave every open-path test ambient. `install_state_dirs` consults it
too: it runs after construction, so resolving from the environment there
would reopen the hole the constructor closed.

The redirected branch changes WHICH directory is read, never WHETHER the
block runs. Config loading shares one conditional with
`set_init_complete()`, and `tests/m8_2_acceptance.rs:75` documents its
dependence on integration-test construction finishing init-complete.

`child_env()` translates the same value into the environment a spawned
`pmacs` needs. Five variables, not four: `PMACS_STATE_HOME` outranks
`XDG_STATE_HOME`, so a child given only the XDG four still resolves an
inherited state override — invisible on a machine that exports none.

The `src/editor.rs` comment claimed a protection it does not provide and
said nothing about the write above it; both are corrected in place. The
guard is deliberately NOT widened to cover integration tests.

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 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 7df13f2257 fix(process): scope the escalation claim to ticks, and pin the boundary
Review round 1, one finding, accepted.

"A failed escalation is never retried by anything" was false.
`shutdown()`'s force-kill loop iterates the reap ledger with **no**
`!entry.killed` guard, so it does re-kill an entry the escalation arm
gave up on. The accurate claim is that no later *tick* retries it —
`tick_reap_ledger`'s escalation is guarded by `!entry.killed` and never
fires again for that group.

The overclaim collapsed two failure modes that this lane exists to keep
distinct: a failed escalation leaks the group until editor exit, where
one more attempt is made, while a failed `shutdown()` force-kill leaks
it past exit with nothing left to try. Narrowed in the framing, the
handoff, the active-work ledger and the test commentary.

The corrected claim was asserted in three documents and pinned by
nothing, so it gets a pin: a failed escalation marks the entry, the
survivor stays alive across ticks, and `shutdown()` — with no fault
planned, so its force-kill really lands — still reaps it. Bitten by
adding the missing `!entry.killed` guard to that loop: the new pin
fails and the other five stay green.

Levi Neuwirth 2f8a39463d test(process): give the in-drain pin a fixture that can actually fail
Found by bite-testing, not by review. With the in-drain seam reverted,
the pin still passed both content assertions and failed only the
consumed-plan check — meaning "LATE-MARKER is absent" was holding for
a reason unrelated to the probe.

`poll_one` sends SIGTERM to the whole group on leader exit, so the
untrapped descendant died before its 0.5s sleep finished. The late
marker never arrived on *either* path, which makes the absence
assertion vacuous: it would have stayed green with the collapse fixed.

The descendant now installs `trap '' TERM` behind `survivor_script`'s
readiness gate, so it survives the group TERM and writes its marker at
0.5s — well inside the 2s drain timeout the real path would run to.
Re-bitten: the reverted seam now fails on the LATE-MARKER assertion
itself.

Levi Neuwirth c61a60f343 feat(process): make the reap ledger's silent kill failures testable
Implements `docs/reap-ledger-silent-failures-framing.md` (revision 3).
Diagnosis only: every pin asserts CURRENT behaviour, including the
behaviour that is wrong. No disposition changes.

The ledger discards the result of four `kill(2)` calls, and each
discard has its own consequence:

- the liveness probe cannot tell ESRCH from any other errno, so an
  unreachable group is deleted from the ledger exactly as a dead one
  is, cancelling its escalation;
- the deadline escalation sets `killed = true` whether or not the
  SIGKILL landed, so a failed one is never retried by anything;
- `shutdown()`'s force-kill does the same on the path written
  specifically to stop a leak at editor exit;
- `final_drain_runtime`'s twin collapses every errno into "dead",
  which quiesces the drain and cancels the readers.

None had an injection seam, so none was testable. This adds one, on
Q#PD4's terms: the injection replaces the *result only*, and every
branch, syscall and bookkeeping step downstream is production code.

The seam is directed per site, because `shutdown()` signals every
managed process before it reaches its ledger force-kill — a single
undirected slot would be eaten by the wrong call and the test would
pass while proving nothing. The persistent sites take a FIFO each,
since the shutdown-coupling pin needs a failed force-kill and a failed
subsequent probe pending at once. The in-drain site instead takes one
outcome that repeats for one whole drain: a one-shot is consumed by
the next 1ms probe and can never survive the 50ms window `quiesced`
requires.

Fixture state is per-supervisor, never global, and teardown asserts
every planned outcome was consumed — an unconsumed plan means the
fixture never reached the site, which would leave an absence
assertion vacuous.

Levi Neuwirth 262b7c0b6f docs(process): stop overclaiming the pre-kill sample; drop a dead comment
Review round 5: one blocking, one major. Both documentation-only; the
runtime fixes from round 4 are unchanged.

**The pre-kill sample was overclaimed.** Acceptance 4 said the measured
group "describes the target that was attempted". It does not. `getpgid`
and `kill` remain separated by the same read-then-act window §1.5 is
built on, so the sample can be stale by the time the signal is
delivered. Moving it earlier removes a POST-HOC reading; it does not
make the reading contemporaneous. The criterion now says it records
pre-kill evidence about the attempted target, and adds an explicit
sentence forbidding any acceptance from claiming otherwise.

This is worth naming rather than quietly editing: the framing's whole
spine is that this telemetry establishes less than it appears to, and
round 4 fixed a real ordering defect and then inflated the fix's meaning
inside the document that governs it.

**`95897f7`'s commit message carries the same overclaim.** It is not
amended — force-pushing a branch under review to rewrite history would
hide the error rather than correct it. This message is the correction,
and the two read in sequence.

**A dead doc comment was documenting a constant.** The original
pre-Stage-B acceptance-1 block survived the rewrite and came to rest
above `const BASH`, so the file explained a string constant with the
sentence this entire lane exists to remove — "here they are asserted to
agree only because nothing has moved the terminal", describing a test
that no longer exists. Removed; only the BASH explanation remains.

Verified the overclaim is gone from the whole tree, not only the cited
line: no hits in `docs/` or `src/`.

Levi Neuwirth 95897f7563 fix(process): sample the group before the kill; make corroboration real
Review round 4: three blocking, one major. All accepted.

**`measured_group` was sampled after the failure.** It ran inside
`signal_failure_report`, after the `kill` and after `observe_leader`,
while the framing and the function's own doc both said before. A
concurrent group change would have made the diagnostic report
post-failure state as evidence about the attempted target. It is now
sampled in `signal` before the kill and passed into the report, so the
field describes the target that was attempted rather than the state the
failure left behind.

**The Linux corroboration did not exercise the production lookup.** Its
helper read `portable_pty::process_group_leader` — the accessor this
lane stopped using on the signal path — so `pty_foreground_group` could
have fallen back on every call with every test still green. Forcing it
to always fall back demonstrates the hole exactly: the corroboration
fails, and the injected pin PASSES, because the injected tests supply
the group themselves and structurally cannot detect a broken lookup.

The helper now calls the production lookup, and the corroboration forces
only the kill so the report is built from a real terminal read. The
residual limitation is recorded rather than left to the green: on macOS
`pty_foreground_group` has no end-to-end coverage, because the platform
cannot produce the precondition.

**The framing did not update its own acceptance contract.** Revision 5
recorded Bet 1's falsification in the revision history and in the bet,
and left the normative criterion demanding the real-shell rewrite — the
"implementation quietly diverges from the contract" shape this project
already recorded as a lesson on #191/#188. Acceptance 1 now describes
the injected pin, 1a adds the corroboration and its macOS limitation,
and 4 states the sampling order. The ledger is synchronized: revision 6,
four commits, 4,471 tests, bash armed on Linux only.

**`TargetSource`'s doc had the wrong classification.** Two of the four
variants target the leader pid, not one, and the pid-versus-group split
does not line up with PTY-versus-pipe — which is why the fallback needed
its own variant rather than reusing `LeaderPid`.

Levi Neuwirth 66f73013fc test(process): take Bet 1's fallback — macOS does not diverge
CI falsified framing Bet 1. Both macOS legs reported

    job control never moved the terminal off the leader
    (leader=8542, foreground groups observed: [8542])

with the terminal staying on the leader for the entire 10s bounded wait.
Linux diverges reliably — 20/20 locally and green on both ubuntu legs —
so this is a platform difference rather than a flake, and rerunning past
it would have been wrong.

The framing named this outcome and prescribed the response, so that is
what ships rather than an improvised fix:

- The divergent case is pinned by INJECTING the foreground group at the
  `signal_target` seam. Deterministic, runs on every platform. The
  injection seam widens from failure-only to either outcome; the branch,
  target choice, leader observation against the real child, and report
  construction all remain production code.
- Verified still discriminating: the `leader_pid`-substitution mutation
  fails it, `target=-1707909` against an expected `-1707910`. That was
  the whole point of the original rewrite and it survives the fallback.
- The real shell is retained as corroboration in
  `job_control_really_diverges_the_foreground_group`, Linux-only. It
  skips on macOS by PLATFORM CHECK rather than by arming: the
  precondition genuinely does not hold there, so running it would assert
  a false claim about macOS instead of finding a bug.
- Framing revision 5 records the falsification and states exactly how
  the injected pin is weaker — it proves the target is read from the
  lookup rather than substituted from the leader; it does not by itself
  prove any real shell produces that divergence.

`PMACS_REQUIRE_BASH` moves to Linux-only. The earlier reasoning for
arming both platforms — macOS is where the failures happen, so Linux-only
leaves it dark where it matters — was right about the diagnostic and
wrong about this test, which cannot produce its precondition on macOS at
all. Arming it there made a missing binary fatal for a test that can
never run. The measurement is recorded in ci.yml and the README so it is
not re-derived.

Gates on this tree: 11 gates, 4471 tests, zero failures.

Levi Neuwirth b27df705bb feat(process): make the signal diagnostic discriminating (Bets 2-4)
Framing acceptances 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8. Evidence collection only: no
tolerance rule, no change to which process is signalled, no disposition
change.

Three distinct failures previously rendered as one string.

**The PTY fallback is now named.** When a PTY's foreground-group lookup
yields no group, the target falls back to the leader — and until now that
rendered "leader-pid", identical to a pipe child that never had a
terminal. `portable-pty::MasterPty::process_group_leader` collapses every
failure into `None` before pmacs can see it, so the errno was gone too.
pmacs now performs the query itself and reports four distinct outcomes:
no master fd, a failed duplicate with its errno, a failed `tcgetpgrp`
with its errno, and a non-positive answer.

Doing that without `unsafe` is the interesting part. `nix::unistd::
tcgetpgrp` needs `AsFd`; `MasterPty` exposes only `Option<RawFd>`; and
every std route between them is `unsafe`, which this crate forbids.
`filedescriptor::OwnedHandle::dup` takes any `AsRawFd` through a safe
blanket impl and returns an owned handle that IS `AsFd`, so a
lifetime-tied view implementing one safe trait is the whole bridge. The
borrow is what makes it sound: the view cannot outlive the master, so the
descriptor cannot close underneath it.

**The report names the signal.** A failed SIGUSR1 and a failed SIGTERM
were the same text. Note this is a reporting gap only — every failed
`kill` returns before the fatal-signal branch, so failed signals are
disposition-identical whatever they are. A separate control pins that the
fatal/non-fatal difference is real for calls that SUCCEED, which is what
gives the first test its meaning.

**`measured_group` is a real observation.** `expected_group` is
`-leader_pid`, and on the spawn-group path the target is `-leader_pid`
too, so the report printed the same number three times and their
agreement was arithmetic rather than evidence. `getpgid` supplies the one
field that can disagree. It establishes no identity — it is read inside
the same read-then-act window, and no portable mechanism closes that for
a group.

Bites, each by an actual revert, all observed to fail:

- collapsing the PTY fallback back into a bare "leader-pid";
- dropping `signal=` from the report;
- making the measured group restate the pid it was handed;
- replacing the job-control fixture with a plain `sleep`, as a positive
  control on the divergence fixture itself.

All four exact-string sites were updated individually, never by a blanket
rewrite: a wholesale rewrite of expected strings is how a format
regression hides. `:2501`'s first-call disposition pin is retained and
updated for the new format rather than replaced.

`nix`'s `process` feature is now declared explicitly. It already arrived
transitively — nix's own `signal` feature depends on it — which is stable
but invisible, and a real requirement resting on another feature's
internals is one refactor away from vanishing. `filedescriptor` is
declared directly for the same reason: pmacs now calls its API.

The reap ledger's comment claiming "EPERM cannot happen for our own
children" is corrected. Its bounded-growth policy is unchanged, but the
justification was wrong: the probe targets a group, and owning the
spawned child says nothing about a group unless the child is still a
member — which nothing measures. The handoff records this together with
the limit of the evidence: the occurrence does NOT establish that the
child itself received EPERM.

Levi Neuwirth 0d2ad49969 test(process): make the group-directed acceptance discriminating (Bet 1)
Framing §3 Bet 1 and acceptance 1. Committed alone, per the branch plan:
this bet decides whether the diagnostic is worth extending at all, so its
result belongs in history before anything depends on it.

The previous version of
`a_group_directed_kill_failure_reports_target_and_leader_separately`
spawned `/bin/sleep` on a PTY and asserted the same pid three times,
conceding in its own doc comment that the values "are asserted to agree
only because nothing has moved the terminal". The entire premise of the
diagnostic is that the terminal's foreground group and the spawned leader
are different entities, and no test exercised a case where they were.

The fixture now drives job control: `bash -m` runs a foreground job in a
fresh process group and hands it the terminal, so `tcgetpgrp` reports a
group that is not the leader. The trailing `; :` is load-bearing — with a
single simple command `bash -c` execs in place, which would leave the
leader owning the terminal and silently restore the agreement.

The bounded wait is also load-bearing rather than defensive. A probe of
this fixture observed the foreground group as the leader FIRST and only
then as the job's group, so measuring immediately would pin the
non-divergent case. The fixture additionally asserts the diverged group
still holds a live member, so a divergent number cannot come from a dead
group.

Falsified in both directions by substituting `leader_pid` for the
`tcgetpgrp` result in `signal_target`:

- the new test FAILS — target=-1020100 (leader) against the expected
  -1020103 (foreground group);
- the OLD test, restored verbatim alongside the same mutation, PASSES.

That pair is the finding: the previous acceptance pinned the
substitution as acceptable.

`/bin/bash` is declared as an optional test dependency and armed with
PMACS_REQUIRE_BASH on BOTH CI platforms, not only Linux — the signal
failures this diagnostic exists to explain have so far occurred only on
macOS. The guard tests the exact path the fixture spawns rather than
`which bash`, because a system with bash on PATH but not at `/bin/bash`
would pass a `which` guard and then fail the spawn.

Verified: both arming arms exercised against an absent path (unarmed
skips, armed fails by name); 20/20 repetitions of the test; `cargo fmt
--check`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, and
`cargo test --lib` (1877 passed) all clean; ci.yml parses.

No production behaviour changes.

Levi Neuwirth 7a271f13f5 merge: integrate main @ 391d38a (PRs #197, #196, #191) into Stage 2B-3
`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
rather than counted; all three lane headers present exactly once.

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 ed544fab41 fix(process): arm the setsid dependency, correct the orphan account
Review round 2, three findings.

setsid is util-linux, not coreutils, and the standard `cargo test --lib`
gate must not hard-fail on a tool the README does not declare -- a
minimal or BusyBox container would fail without ever testing pmacs. The
hard assert becomes skip-unless-armed via PMACS_REQUIRE_SETSID, which is
the pattern the silent-skip lane already established, so the test cannot
quietly report `ok` having never run where the tool is guaranteed. CI
arms it on Linux; README declares it. Both arms verified against a PATH
with setsid genuinely removed: unarmed skips with its message, armed
FAILS with the diagnostic.

The durable causal account was wrong, and this corrects it in the
framing, the handoff and the ledger. basedpyright's console script runs
bundled node through `subprocess.run` and WAITS
(nodejs_wheel/executable.py:50, verified in the installed 1.39.6). It
does not exit at spawn. What orphans node is pmacs: `shutdown()` SIGTERMs
the recorded pid -- the Python wrapper -- which dies without forwarding
the signal, leaving node at PPid 1 holding the pipes. The refutation was
already in hand: the initialize handshake succeeds, which a wrapper that
exited at spawn could not have done, and the PPid 1 observation was taken
after shutdown had killed it.

The fix is unaffected -- the deadlock and its bite are unchanged -- but
the parked follow-up changes target: not "tolerate servers that
self-orphan" but "stop orphaning them", i.e. signal the process group
rather than a wrapper pid that swallows the signal. Framing section 5 P2
restated.

Also corrects a stale CI-ordering claim: the handoff said pyright must
stay unarmed until the timeout lane lands, but #195 is this PR's base and
gave every job a timeout-minutes. The one live reason is that CI does not
install basedpyright at all. The ci.yml comment asserting the job has no
timeout-minutes was stale for the same reason and is rewritten.

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 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 9b1cf3d6c9 fix(process): reproduce the deadlock without a shell
CI falsified rev 2 of the framing. The synthetic reproduction used
`sh -c 'cat <&0 & exit 0'`, and `<&0` does not defeat the POSIX rule it
was chosen to defeat: /dev/null is assigned to an asynchronous list's
stdin *before any explicit redirections*, so by the time `<&0` runs, fd 0
already IS /dev/null and the redirect duplicates it onto itself. bash
happens to skip the default when a stdin redirect is present; dash --
Ubuntu's /bin/sh, and CI's -- does not. It passed locally and failed on
three CI legs.

Control 2 caught it and named its own cause. That is the fourth vacuous
reproduction in this lane and the first found by a control rather than by
a reviewer -- which is the argument for the controls, so the lesson is
recorded that way in the handoff.

The reproduction now uses `setsid --fork cat`: it forks, the parent
exits, and the child inherits stdin/stdout/stderr untouched. No shell, no
asynchronous list, no /dev/null rule, no implementation variance.
setsid(1) presence is asserted rather than skipped -- a skip would
reintroduce the silent-green shape the arming lane removed.

The fix under test is unchanged. Bite re-verified by revert on the new
form: ok in 2.03s with `stdin.take()`, FAILED at 10.00s on the
recv_timeout without it, both controls passing first.

Also adds bottom_panel_stage1_acceptance to the framing's Bet 2 falsifier
list. It holds PTY-in-panel tests and its absence from rev 1 was a real
gap, not a judgement call.

Levi Neuwirth eb9b36387c fix(process): close child stdin before joining reader threads
`RuntimeHandles::drop` joined its reader threads in the `Drop` body,
which runs before any field drops. The `ChildStdin` sink lives inside
`StdinWriter` in the `stdin` FIELD, so it could only be released after
the join returned -- and the join was waiting on readers blocked in
`read()` on pipes whose write ends the child still held, because the
child never received the stdin EOF that would have made it exit.

A closed cycle, entirely inside one function. Teardown hung forever.

This is the root cause of `m4_5_basedpyright_initializes_and_negotiates_
encoding` hanging indefinitely -- diagnosed with gdb stacks plus /proc fd
forensics on a wedged process, reproduced 5/5 deterministically. It also
explains why the hang looked intermittent and machine-local: a
shim-launched server orphans its real process (basedpyright's console
script spawns bundled `node` and exits, leaving it at `PPid 1`), so
nothing teardown signals can reach it, while a direct binary like clangd
or gopls is a genuine child whose pipes close on reap.

`spawn_reader`'s `cancel` flag does not help: it is consulted between
reads and around `send_timeout`, never while `read` is blocked. The
existing comment's premise -- "dropping the master closes the kernel pipe
and unblocks `read`" -- holds for a PTY master but not for pipe mode,
where `read` returns only once *every* write end closes.

The fix reuses `close_stdin`'s existing, already-idempotent mechanism at
the one site missing it. Reordering the struct's fields cannot work: a
type's `Drop::drop` body runs before all of its fields regardless of
declaration order.

Bounded claim: this delivers EOF, so it fixes children that drain stdin
to EOF -- which stdio language servers do. A child that ignores EOF, or
that stops draining while bytes are queued (the writer's `write_all` is
blocking), still wedges the join. Making the `read` itself cancellable
via the poll path already used by `spawn_group_reader` is the standing
deferral that covers those, and is deliberately not in this change.

Test: `teardown_closes_stdin_before_joining_readers`, in `--lib` so it
runs in the standard gate. It models the real shape with an orphaned
grandchild, and carries two positive controls, because this lane wrote
three reproductions that passed against the unfixed tree before one
bit. The `<&0` redirect is load-bearing: POSIX XCU 2.9.3 assigns
`/dev/null` to an asynchronous list's stdin when job control is off, so a
bare `cat &` exits immediately and proves nothing. Teardown runs on a
worker thread behind `recv_timeout` so a regression FAILS in 10s rather
than hanging -- a hanging test would reproduce the hazard being removed.

Bite verified by revert: with the fix `ok` in 2.03s; with the single
`stdin.take()` line commented out, FAILED at 10.00s on the timeout, both
controls having passed first.

Docs: framing doc added; handoff gains the drop-body-before-fields lesson
and the reproduction-needs-a-control generalization, and its section 3
caveat is corrected -- the desktop's basedpyright binary was never
broken. The `--skip basedpyright` gate entry stays for now; dropping it
is a separate proposal owed evidence.

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 aa813ec3b6 test(stage2a): unit pins for the URI teardown and the bus order
`src/lsp.rs` gains nine: the fourteen-family store inventory with a
17-entry precondition so it cannot pass vacuously, the route purge with
`workspace/symbol` and another server's route both surviving, the
awaiter drain joined on the rid, the error contract's two arms, the
late-publish drop with its does-not-over-reach companion, the
`mark_document_stale` gate across all three stale stores, exact-pair
tombstone identity, and reclamation under both `start_generation` and
terminal `forget`.

`src/diag.rs` pins that `forget` drops the epoch while `clear`
deliberately bumps it — the leak a `clear`-based forget would leave in
the one map nothing prunes.

`src/async_runtime.rs` injects two resource replies onto the private bus
in each order and asserts `TickOutcome.resources` reports arrival order,
not allocation order; plus that a failed or cancelled mutation is not
harvested at all.

Levi Neuwirth f294942ef5 wip(stage2a): the reconciliation transaction and the URI teardown
One shared walk query (`buffers_bound_under`), lifted out of #190's
`delete_verdict` so the guard and both reconciliation seams cannot
disagree about which buffers an operation touches: every buffer, both
sides normalized, component-aware containment.

`EditorCore::reconcile_rename` moves the stored path and — only for a
`PathDerived` name — the buffer name. `EditorCore::reconcile_delete`
composes the same two removal phases `pmacs.buffer.kill` composes,
preflighting `editing_in_progress` because a `ConcurrentEdit` refusal
arrives after `kill_buffer` has already moved windows. Phase 2 stays
with the caller; `EditorCore` gains no Lua handle.

`AsyncRuntime::tick` now returns a `TickOutcome` carrying the settled
ids plus the successful resource mutations, in bus-arrival order, which
is documented as not being execution order. `PendingJob.resource`
retains the paths the dispatchers move into the worker closure.

`LspManager::forget_uri` purges the routes carrying a URI, drains the
awaiters joined to them on the rid, and clears all fourteen stores plus
`documents`. A generation-scoped exact-pair tombstone gates the two
uncorrelated writers that can otherwise resurrect what it cleared:
`publishDiagnostics` and `mark_document_stale`, which now takes a
server id. `ResponseRoute::scoped_uri` is the one variant list, with
`uri()` delegating to it.

New Lua surface: `pmacs.buffer.set_name`, `pmacs.lsp.forget_uri`,
`pmacs.diag._rename_resource`.

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.
