Lands the approved dired framing on main as its own docs PR, and brings
the two required docs current after find-file merged as #162.
The framing was approved after two review rounds (seven findings, then
six) and revised twice more since: revision 4 recorded what implementing
Stage 0 falsified in the approved text, and revision 5 adds the coherence
impact statement that #163 made mandatory for every framing.
The coherence statement is new work, not a restatement. COHERENCE.md
section 20 Priority 1 already names this arc -- a find-file surface and
directory-argument handling -- so the framing now states which journey
steps it touches (7, and partially 3), that it adds no interaction island
because its keys are a mode-scoped keymap through the ordinary registry
and wdired is a mode swap rather than a modal layer, that it adopts the
config registry for dired.kill-when-opening, and that it inherits the
worker-attribution gap for its read_dir jobs without worsening it. It
also draws the boundary against the adjacent Journey Stage 1 arc: CLI
directory handling belongs there, the two meet at resolve_target_buffer,
and dired supplies the buffer a directory should resolve to rather than
growing a second directory surface.
One convergence worth recording: section 2 grades the golden journey
broken at step 3 because pmacs on a directory exits 1, and the mechanism
it cites -- File::open succeeding on a directory, then read_to_end
returning EISDIR -- is the same one Stage 0 pinned in its
accepting-a-directory test, where the pcall turns it into a status
message instead.
The handoff snapshot was stale through eight merges. It now anchors on
main at 2af1ab3, records COHERENCE.md as required reading and a required
framing input, and carries the two minibuffer facts find-file
established: a custom completion source cannot descend directories, and
a selected candidate shadows typed text -- both of which apply to M-x and
switch-buffer, not just find-file.
The ledger gains the dired lane with Stage 1's scope, the reason its one
Rust change cannot be done in Lua, and the rebase note for the dired
branch, whose framing commits become redundant when this lands.
Move the lane from active-work.md into its Closed section, retire the
protocol v20 / main-hash references to LANDED form in agent-handoff.md, and
record both review-round lessons (failure-socket containment, upgrade-gated
replica publication) in the ops-lessons ledger.
Integrate folding Stage 2 and its landed-state documentation with the
protocol-v20 GPU initial-target branch. Preserve per-session fold projection
selection in the target bootstrap transaction and retain v19 compatibility
coverage after the later protocol bump.
Shut down bootstrap sockets on every dispatcher-side failure and reject
frontend events whose session state was never installed. This prevents a
lingering failed client from reaching absent render/size state.
Track target-side CRDT upgrades independently from load/create status so a
deduplicated hidden buffer is published to every existing grid replica. Add
real-daemon regressions for both failure containment and replica publication.
Post-merge housekeeping owed from #149, kept as its own docs-only PR per
the #138-#140 / #147 convention. No runtime code.
- active-work.md: base snapshot and the recovery check bump 47581f4 ->
6ed4fe9. The Stage 2 lane is retired and replaced by a folding lane that
records both stages as merged with nothing in flight, and states Stage 3
(GPU) has no branch and no framing yet — carrying its named obligations
(GPU collapse at TUI parity, caret/hit-test fold-awareness, the
BufferSnapshot fold-mirror clear, CRDT-origin unfold, and flipping
FrontendView.fold_projection true for semantic frontends) as that
framing's starting point. "Closed since the last snapshot" gains #149
and #147.
- agent-handoff.md §1: main @ 6ed4fe9, the "Last updated" line and section
date, the Stage 2 bullet flipped from IMPLEMENTED/PR-OPEN to LANDED with
the Stage 3 obligations attached, and the roadmap entry (remaining arcs
now read "6 folding Stage 3").
Both stages' design points are recorded as traps Stage 3 inherits rather
than as history: the merged-hidden-component unit, per-window/per-target
map instances, per-frontend projection, position-not-row normalization,
and the post-intercept edit site.

PR #149 review round 5 flagged this PR as stale: it still claimed `main`
@ `c49a8c7`, Stage 2 framing "rev 2, under review; no implementation, no
PR", while `main` is `47581f4` and Stage 2 is implemented and open.
- Base snapshot and the recovery check bump `c49a8c7` -> `47581f4`.
- The folding Stage 2 lane becomes IMPLEMENTED / PR #149 OPEN: framing
rev 4 approved, the `VisibleLineMap` spine, the base-moved merge (and
why it was merged rather than rebased), and the five review rounds'
design-changing findings — each of which is a trap Stage 3 inherits.
- `main`'s ledger had gone unrefreshed through four merges, not one, so
"Closed since the last snapshot" now also records web grammars HTML +
CSS (#146) and LaTeX Stage 1 (#144) with its inline-math framing
(#145), including their durable lessons.
- agent-handoff §1: `main` @ `47581f4`, the "Last updated" line, the
Stage 2 substrate bullet, and the roadmap entry.
Rebased onto `47581f4` so it stays one documentation-only commit
directly off canonical main.

Post-merge housekeeping owed from #142, kept as its own docs PR (no
runtime code).
- agent-handoff.md §1: bump main to c49a8c7, add the folding Stage 1
substrate bullet (store/View, structural source, C-c @ surface,
command-path unfold, FoldState production; no protocol bump), refresh
the "Last updated" line and the roadmap Arc 6 entry, and note Stage 2
is in framing on folding-tui (the visible-line-map reframe).
- active-work.md: retire the Stage 1 folding lane (PR #142 was OPEN),
add a "Closed since the last snapshot" entry for #142, open the
Stage 2 (grid/daemon collapse) framing lane on folding-tui, and
refresh the canonical base snapshot to c49a8c7.

Update the framing, durable handoff, and active-work ledger after integrating
current canonical main and completing the required gates and real GPU smoke.
Add protocol-v20 semantic bootstrap and readiness result framing so

ready. Keep target identity scoped to the authenticated frontend, preserve
legacy/no-target attach behavior, and publish fresh buffers coherently to
existing replicas.
Carry Unix path bytes and launcher cwd through the root broker, resolve paths
lexically in the daemon, reuse or create buffers without ambient-view state,
and preserve the managed daemon lifecycle from #141. Add focused parser,
wire, lifecycle, hook, isolation, and real-connector acceptance coverage.
Advance the durable snapshot to merge 63fbc66, record the green CI rerun, and
remove the completed GPU invocation lane from the volatile active-work ledger.
Advance the framing to Revision 6 and record the strengthened non-CRDT,
Ctrl-C, strict-operand, probe-throttling, and PID-cleanup contracts. Update the
durable and volatile checkpoints to implementation commit 154cb9f.
Advance the active and durable checkpoints to 69825d0 and clarify that every
spawned managed daemon enters the named reaper before connection or handshake
work can fail.
Advance the framing to Revision 5 and record the reviewed lifecycle, CLI, and
acceptance contracts. Update the durable and volatile handoffs with checkpoint
82355ca and the completed verification matrix.
Update the durable handoff and volatile active-work ledger for open PR #141, including the implementation checkpoint, accepted architecture, verification record, visible Wayland/Vulkan smoke, and cross-machine recovery commands.
Advance canonical state to protocol v19, close the Vterm lane and roadmap arc, preserve the cross-PR integration lesson, mark PR #91 landed, and point machine-local housekeeping at the durable policy.
Integrates canonical `main` @ 2625ec7 after PR #137 (tab-width parity)
merged. The agreed order was #137 first, this lane second: #137 was
approved and FROZEN at 5b23e11, and "frozen" is incompatible with
"rebase onto the resulting main" — landing it second would have broken
its freeze and voided its approval.
Integrated by MERGING main into the branch rather than rebasing, matching
repo precedent (Merge canonical main into vterm-tui, ... into modeline
detection). A rebase would have force-pushed away the review anchors on
the two completed review rounds of #135.
Main had also moved past this lane's base by #133/#134/#136, so the
integration surface was wider than the #135/#137 overlap: src/
semantic_render.rs was a fourth overlapping code file. It auto-merged, as
did pmacs-protocol/src/lib.rs. The single code conflict was the
pmacs_protocol import list in pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs — TAB_STOP_COLUMNS
against the terminal types — resolved as a union.
The feared semantic collision did not occur, and this is verified rather
than assumed: terminal cell geometry still uses the monospace advance and
never TAB_STOP_COLUMNS. pmacs-gpu/src/terminal.rs references neither the
constant nor display_width, and terminal_cell_viewport / terminal_run_rect
/ hit_test_cell derive from mono_advance() and code_line_height() alone.
That separation is correct by construction: a terminal's columns come
from the child, while tab expansion is a document projection concern.
Doc conflicts resolved toward landed state: the tab-width lane moves to
"Closed since the last snapshot", the #135/#137 coordination section is
kept as a resolved worked example, and the Arc 5 lines in the roadmap and
handoff now read "implemented and in review". While resolving, restored a
clause main had dropped from the handoff's injection-follow-ups list
("literals, doc-comment code);"), keeping main's strikethrough-and-SHIPPED
convention for the modeline entry.
Post-integration gates, from a clean tree: cargo fmt --check; strict
workspace clippy; pmacs-protocol 17; cargo test --lib 1,768; --features
crdt 1,944 (3 ignored each); vterm Stage 1 9/10, Stage 2 4/4, Stage 3
5/7, statusline 7/8, tab-width 2/2 (default/CRDT); M4 121 passed (3
ignored, 1 filtered); required GPU 139; workspace sweep 2,946 passed
across 84 suites (19 ignored), one invocation; git diff --check clean.
One real defect, three cleanups, and a named deferral.
A daemon disconnect in terminal mode hid the disconnect notice. The
Disconnected arm set the placeholder text but never left terminal mode,
where the document code layer is not prepared at all and the terminal glyph
layer keeps painting its last frame — so the user was left looking at a
frozen, live-looking terminal that silently ignored input. GPU auto-reconnect
is a named deferral, so that state persisted until relaunch. State::
on_daemon_disconnected now leaves terminal mode, forces a repaint even when
the notice text is byte-identical, and requests a redraw.
The fix and its test share a file, so scripts/bite's file granularity cannot
bite it; the equivalent was done by hand. Neutralizing only the
exit_terminal_mode() call makes the test fail on the "must leave terminal
mode" assertion; restoring it makes it pass.
sync_semantic_terminal_layout no longer clones the whole visible cell grid to
read one size. It ran every dispatcher tick for any semantic frontend with a
declared terminal; TerminalManager::screen_size reads the value from the
borrowed projection instead.
Inbound terminal events now require a negotiated v19 session. The outbound
TerminalFrame was gated twice while TerminalResize/TerminalPointer relied on
the frontend's send gate alone. A pre-v19 peer cannot construct those
variants, so this only refuses a hand-rolled client — and the a32 forgery
tests already prove such an event reaches nothing but the sender's own
authenticated active view — but the asymmetry was not deliberate.
A terminal-mode press that misses the grid no longer arms a drag, so a later
in-grid motion cannot send a Drag with no preceding Down. Daemon-side impact
was nil; the state is now honest. A release still always ends the drag.
The roadmap and handoff Arc 5 lines still said Stage 3 was framed and
awaiting approval, contradicting this PR's own ledger. Both corrected.
Named deferral: terminal wheel gestures discard scroll magnitude. One winit
wheel event becomes one gesture regardless of the lines it accumulated, while
the document path scrolls by lines. Closing it means either N gestures
(chattier) or a magnitude field on the pointer event — a protocol change.
Neither belongs in this stage.

suites; diff check clean.
Mark PR #134 as shipped in the durable handoff, framing, and side-quest
backlog. Remove the completed volatile lane and advance the canonical recovery
anchor to the merge commit.
Vterm Stage 3 — the final vterm stage. A semantic frontend can now host a
terminal: the daemon ships complete validated cell grids, and pmacs-gpu
renders them with fixed-cell geometry, its own input path, and no document
projection at all.
Protocol v19 appends three variants after their enums' final v18 members:
InstanceMessage::TerminalFrame (daemon-gated), and FrontendEvent::
TerminalResize / TerminalPointer (frontend-gated). It is the first bump to
gate in both directions, so criterion 28 pins each filter independently and
byte pins on StatuslineSegments and MenuPointer guard the placements.
pmacs-protocol gains src/terminal.rs: the shared row/column/visible-cell/
grapheme/metadata bounds, TerminalProcessState, TerminalSelectionSpan, and
TerminalFrame::validate — the ONE structural policy the daemon runs before
emission and the frontend runs after decode. src/terminal/* re-exports them
so no duplicate type exists, and unicode-width becomes a workspace dependency
so the screen and the validator measure glyph columns with one table. A new
8 MiB aggregate glyph bound keeps the largest legal frame (measured:
13,437,863 bytes) under the unchanged 16 MiB transport cap rather than
widening every connection's allocation ceiling.
The semantic producer suppresses the whole document family for a terminal
buffer while keeping the status band, theme, font, statusline, menu, and
minibuffer, and compares the complete ordered payload rather than
screen_generation — scroll, selection, and process state all change without
advancing it.
Two things the framing did not spell out, both found by the real-daemon
acceptance:
The Viewport gate keys on the authenticated source's ACTIVE buffer, not the
buffer the message names. Viewport also aligns the window to what it
declares, so a stale document viewport in flight when a command opened a
terminal dragged the frontend straight back off it: the window oscillated,
every terminal declaration was refused, and no frame ever arrived, with
nothing logged anywhere.
The producer clears terminal mode on every exit path. The daemon uses that
flag to suppress CursorByte and the presence sweep, so an early return that
left it set kept both suppressed after the frontend returned to a document.
pmacs-gpu/src/terminal.rs is a pure cell-space paint planner, unit-testable
without a GPU. The renderer builds one shaped buffer per text run, so a wide
or cluster glyph's advance can never choose the next column's origin.
Criterion 37 needed a seam rather than a fixture: pmacs-gpu depends only on
pmacs-protocol, so attach::connect's reader sink was generalized and a
--headless-probe mode added. The acceptance drives a real daemon, a real
/bin/sh child, the real attach client, and real composited pixels in one
path — which is how both defects above were found.
Gates: fmt; strict workspace clippy; 1,757 default + 1,933 CRDT library
tests; vterm Stage 1 9/10, Stage 2 4/4, Stage 3 4/5 acceptance

2,919 across 83 suites; diff check clean.
Replace the obsolete fail-closed locals note with the settled lexical-facts
contract and record the feature branch, verification, and recovery commands in
the active-work ledger.
Revision 8 of docs/vterm-framing.md was reviewed and approved on the
documentation branch vterm-stage3-framing. Stage 3 is implemented on this
branch, cut from canonical main, rather than stacked on that branch.
The framing locks additive protocol v19 (TerminalFrame, TerminalResize,
TerminalPointer), an 8 MiB aggregate glyph-byte bound under the unchanged
16 MiB transport cap, dual viewport declaration after every semantic
snapshot, authenticated per-view routing, and a fixed-cell native GPU
renderer. Criteria 28-37 are the scope of this branch.
Advance the durable baseline to PR #132, remove the completed volatile lane,
and record the shared language pin, bounded modeline contract, Vterm Stage 2
landing, remaining deferrals, and current roadmap state.

Merges canonical main up to 2e37c04 and records the second of the two
arcs that landed while this lane was open. Vterm Stage 1 (#126) was
already recorded; this adds the config registry and reconciles every
claim the two merges falsified.
Handoff §1: main pointer moved to 2e37c04, and a config-registry entry
covering the parts a future agent cannot re-derive from the code --- the
always-store rule and why the "equal-value set is a no-op" reading
silently voids a buffer-local pin; the two-scope model and the
no-ambient-buffer contract on get(name); explicit-dispose-only listener
lifetime and the absence of any MetaMethod::Gc; the InitCompleteFlag
freeze that kept editor.rs untouched; and the strict-registry /
lenient-wrapper split that preserves trim_on_save("yes") and
interval_ms(1500.7).
Handoff §5 gains two lessons. Tab width is a rendering-parity bug, not
a config gap: five sites across two crates with two different values,
and no tab expansion at all on the GPU main text path, so
editor.tab-width is the obvious-looking first adopter and is not one.
And "a test that never runs passes" --- pmacs.editor.save() is the raw
save while buffer.before-save fires inside the buffer.save COMMAND, and
save() no-ops on an unmodified buffer, which made two review-round tests
vacuous until the buffer was dirtied and the command invoked.
Handoff §6: the three config-registry-blocked deferrals are resolved
(the per-buffer auto-pair toggle shipped as editing.auto-pair), replaced
by the registry's own named deferrals --- persistence, list-settings, a
settings completion source, table-valued settings, the unmigrated scalar
setters, and a scope = "global" flag, since set_local is currently
accepted for autosave.interval-ms where a per-buffer value is
meaningless.
active-work.md: base pointer and recovery assertion moved to 2e37c04;
the Vterm Stage 2 lane is told to cut from current main rather than
643d1e1; a closed-since-last-snapshot section records the merged lane
and the parallel-lane result --- two arcs in sibling worktrees with the
shared files assigned one lane each in advance rebased with zero
conflicts, which is worth repeating and states its precondition.
side-quest-backlog.md: both original north-star items have now shipped,
so the board is re-ranked to locals-query processing, mode-system wiring
(promoted --- every editor resolve still passes &[], making it the
largest remaining scoping gap), and tab-width parity. The config-registry
entry is struck and tab width is split out of it, since listing tab
width as a config consequence is what made it look like a cheap adopter.
