build: scripts/gate — a target dir per worktree, and one gate suite (#225)
* build: scripts/gate — a target dir per worktree, and one gate suite

Parallel worktrees do not work on this machine, and the reason is one
exported variable: every checkout builds into one CARGO_TARGET_DIR, and
cargo takes an EXCLUSIVE LOCK on it. Two lanes building at once do not
run in parallel — the second blocks — and they invalidate each other's
artifacts, so alternating between them recompiles from scratch. Parallel
development under that arrangement is slower than serial.

MEASURED, BECAUSE THE FIRST PLAN WAS WRONG. The shared directory is
285G, which drove a proposal to add sccache so per-worktree directories
would not lose artifact sharing. That number is years of accumulation
across TWO projects (pmacs and levcs share it). Measured directly: a
cold `cargo test --workspace --no-run` is 80s and 19G. And sccache
across two target directories hits 50% on C/C++ and **0.00% on Rust** —
rlibs embed their target-dir path, so dependency artifacts are not
bit-identical between directories and `--extern` hashes cascade into
misses. There is no sharing worth buying back. sccache stays configured
and earns its keep on C/C++; it is not what makes parallel lanes work.

The script also owns the FIXED gates, because a procedure living only in
prose gets executed differently each time — twice in the session that
motivated this:

  - a sweep run with `--tests` instead of `--workspace`, silently
    dropping pmacs_protocol and pmacs_gpu, including protocol tests that
    same lane had just written;
  - a sweep piped through `grep` before anyone read it, so an
    intermittent red could not be matched against ci-red-signatures —
    a row needs its fragments. That is registry note U2, and then U3
    when it happened AGAIN.

Hence durable per-gate logs with the sweep paths printed. The remedy is
real: this lane's own run diagnosed its failures from the log without
re-running anything.

WHAT THE SCRIPT IS NOT AUTHORITATIVE FOR. Handoff §3 keeps policy and
keeps CHOOSING the touched acceptance suites, which arrive only via
`--acceptance`. No script can infer those from a working tree, and one
that guessed would report coverage it does not have.

THREE HAZARDS SPECIFIED RATHER THAN LEFT TO CHANCE:

  - `cmd | tee log` reports TEE's status, so a failing gate would exit 0
    and the suite would read green. `pipefail` is not POSIX.
  - `cmd > log; rc=$?` never reaches the assignment under `set -eu`
    (which scripts/bite already uses) — the shell exits at the failing
    command, so nothing prints which gate failed or where its log is,
    destroying the point of capturing it. The runner is therefore an
    `if` condition, the only `set -e` exemption.
  - CARGO_TARGET_DIR (env) OVERRIDES build.target-dir in config.toml, so
    a per-worktree config file silently does nothing. Only a
    per-invocation value beats it.

Pruning is dry-run by default, `--force` to delete, and refuses any
directory without a `.pmacs-gate-target` marker. "Live" means a git
worktree record carrying NO `prunable` line — git keeps listing a
worktree whose directory was deleted without `git worktree remove`, and
treating listed as live would make exactly the reclaimable directories
permanently ineligible.

ONE HONEST FINDING FROM MUTATION TESTING. Three mutations came back
vacuous, and all three are redundant defences rather than test holes:
git already returns resolved physical paths from both
`rev-parse --show-toplevel` and `worktree list --porcelain`, so canon()
is belt-and-braces; and the prune path guards the marker twice. Recorded
in the script and the tests so a later reader does not mistake a
"vacuous" result for a gap — or delete a defence because a test did not
notice.

VERIFICATION. 11 acceptance tests over the no-gates paths (running the
script for real inside the suite would recurse), each pointed at a
tempdir via PMACS_GATE_TARGET_ROOT so the real managed root is
unreachable — a prune bug is unrecoverable. Mutation-tested: `--tests`
in the sweep, an unconditional CRDT sweep, and pruning on a dry run all
fail their intended test.

Observed in a real run, which is how the framing said to confirm the
parts a test cannot: the failed-gate names and log paths print, the
ambient directory is created and reaped by the exit trap, and every log
appears. The run exits non-zero because of R8 — the pre-existing,
merge-base-confirmed listview failure — which means `scripts/gate`
cannot go green on this machine until R8 is diagnosed. That is a
property of the tree, not of this change.

Framing: docs/gate-script-framing.md (revision 4, approved).

* fix(gate): two ways the script could do harm, and four smaller defects

Review round 1 on #225. Neither blocking finding was a design gap ---
both were the implementation failing to honour its own framing, which
is the case a framing document cannot prevent by itself.

PRUNE COULD DELETE EVERY MANAGED DIRECTORY. §2.6 requires the live
worktree set to be ESTABLISHED. The code piped `git worktree list`
straight into awk and the caller masked the result with `|| true`, so
running from outside any repository produced an EMPTY live set --- and
an empty live set means "every managed directory is an orphan", so
`--prune --force` would have deleted all of them, live lanes' artifacts
included. The failure mode was silent and total.

Two refusals now, and they are deliberately redundant: not inside a
worktree, and the enumeration itself failing. `live_worktrees` captures
git's output and returns non-zero rather than emitting nothing, so
"I cannot tell what is live" is unrepresentable as "nothing is live".
An empty porcelain listing counts as failure too --- a repository always
has at least its own worktree.

--ACCEPTANCE WAS SHELL-INJECTABLE. The name is interpolated into a
command the runner evaluates, and nothing validated it, so
`--acceptance 'x; rm -rf ~'` would have run. Now an allowlist of what a
cargo test target can actually be named --- letters, digits, underscore,
hyphen --- refused at parse time, before any gate. Rejection rather than
escaping: there is no legitimate suite name that needs quoting.

FOUR SMALLER ONES:

  - Log directories carried a whole-second timestamp, so two runs in the
    same worktree within one second shared one and could overwrite each
    other's evidence --- reintroducing U2/U3 through a naming choice.
    The PID is now part of the name.
  - The ownership marker is DOCUMENTED as one line, so it is enforced as
    one line instead of read head-first. Acting on the first line of a
    file we did not understand is how a corrupted marker authorises a
    deletion.
  - The `prunable` test returned green when `git worktree add` failed,
    so the only coverage of that rule could silently never run. It now
    fails loudly.
  - Its cleanup ran after the assertions, so a panicking assertion would
    have left the real repository carrying a stale worktree record. Now
    a `Drop` guard.

MUTATION TESTING, HONESTLY REPORTED. The injection and marker fixes bite
individually. The two prune guards do NOT --- each alone satisfies the
outside-repo test, so mutating one at a time reads as vacuous. Removing
BOTH fails the test, which is what establishes that the test detects the
unsafe state rather than being blind to it. Recorded in the test so a
later reader does not delete one guard on the grounds that nothing
noticed.

ALSO: handoff §3's ambient-root caveat still said "until the
ambient-root isolation lane lands". #206 merged; the five variables are
now belt-and-braces for external and integration paths, and `scripts/gate`
sets them regardless.

R8 PROMOTED. `docs/ci-red-signatures.md` gains the reason it stops being
a catalogued curiosity: with the gate suite reduced to one command, R8
makes that command exit non-zero on a clean tree EVERY TIME, and a gate
that is always red is a gate nobody reads. `docs/active-work.md` gains a
lane. It is still not a regression from #223 or #225 --- the merge-base
control says so --- and the lane's first job is diagnosis, because a
change that made the assertion pass without explaining the prefix strip
would convert a visible failure into an invisible one.

15 acceptance tests. Observed run re-confirmed: failed gates named with
log paths, ambient directory created and reaped, distinct log directory,
exit 1 from R8 alone.

* docs: the #225 lane, and R8 diagnosed to a stray /tmp/.git

TWO LEDGER GAPS, both found by review.

and — the part that matters — an explicit GATE STATUS: NOT GREEN
section. `scripts/gate` exits 1 on this branch and on a clean `main`
because R8 fails m4_acceptance and therefore the sweep. That is a merge
blocker under the standing rule, and #225 is the worst possible lane to
grant a silent exception to: it is the lane that makes the gate suite
authoritative, and a tool shipping with its own gate red teaches the
opposite of what it exists to teach.

The lane also records that it was written after the PR existed, again,
because review asked again. Two lanes in a row now. The correction from
only evidence of that.

R8 DIAGNOSED, and the `TMPDIR` hypothesis was right:

  1. `display_path` (builtin/runtime/lsp.lua:2397) shortens a location
     against the DETECTED PROJECT ROOT before rendering it.
  2. `project.detect` walks UPWARD for a marker; from
     /tmp/.tmpXXXX/r.rs it reaches /tmp.
  3. This machine has a stray `/tmp/.git` — an EMPTY DIRECTORY, not a
     repository. The `.git` marker is directory-only, so an empty
     directory still matches.
  4. Root resolves to /tmp, the prefix is stripped, and the rendered row
     is exactly the observed `.tmpXXXXXX/r.rs:12:3`.

Controlled, not inferred: the same test with TMPDIR outside /tmp PASSES.

THE CODEBASE ANTICIPATED THIS BY NAME. src/project.rs:208 documents
`detect_project_within(start, markers, stop_root)` as existing "so a
stray marker in a temp-dir's ancestor (e.g. a developer's /tmp/.git)
can't leak into a fixture that lives below it." The mechanism exists;
this fixture does not use it.

So the row splits, and the halves need different fixes. The failure is
ENVIRONMENTAL — nothing about pmacs is wrong when a real project root
sits above a file, that is the feature, and removing /tmp/.git makes the
gate green immediately. The fixture being ENVIRONMENT-DEPENDENT is a
real defect, and bounding its detection is what retires the row.

PROVENANCE UNRESOLVED, and I am not going to assume in my own favour:
/tmp/.git is dated 2026-08-07 23:17, inside this session's window, and
may have been created by this session's own work — a stray git
invocation from /tmp would do it. The earlier merge-base control stays
valid as "this tree has it" but says nothing about WHEN the environment
acquired the marker, so "pre-existing" must not be read as
"long-standing".

Nothing deleted: /tmp/.git is outside the repository and I cannot
confirm I created it, so removing it is the user's call.

* docs: rebase onto the R8 fix; scripts/gate now exits 0

#226 (`dcb852e`) retired R8 by bounding the LSP fixture's project
detection. This branch rebases onto it, and the thing that was blocked
is now demonstrable: **`scripts/gate` exits 0** --- all nine gates green
in one command, the first time the tool has passed the suite it exists
to run. That is #225's own acceptance criterion, and it could not even
be stated while the script did not exist on `main`.

REBASE RESOLUTION, per the standing rule that #226's R8 documentation is
authoritative. Every conflict was in R8 text this branch wrote while the
row was still an open investigation:

  - two in `docs/ci-red-signatures.md`, both resolved to #226's retired
    row with this branch's pre-fix copy dropped;
  - the framing-doc pair --- e71e1bd added `docs/r8-fixture-boundary-
    framing.md`, 7cfba73 removed it --- both SKIPPED. They are net-zero
    here and `main` owns that file authoritatively; replaying the second
    would have deleted `main`'s copy, which is the one failure mode a
    mechanical "resolve each conflict in turn" would have walked into.

TWO STALE LANES REMOVED. This branch's "R8 --- NEEDS A LANE"
investigation block describes a diagnosis that has since happened and a
fix that has since landed. And #226's own lane arrived through the
rebase still saying "OPEN, HELD FOR REVIEW"; Rule 4 retires it now that
it has merged, its durable facts already being in the retired registry
row and the handoff section 6 census. Leaving either would have left the
ledger asserting that a merged fix was still an open investigation.

fix(tests): bound the LSP fixture's project detection — retires R8 (#226)
* docs: frame the R8 fixture-boundary fix (revision 2)

R8 fails m4_acceptance deterministically on one machine, and the
diagnosis is that the fixture never bounds its own project detection.

`display_path` (builtin/runtime/lsp.lua:2397) shortens a location
against the DETECTED PROJECT ROOT. `pmacs.project.detect` walks upward
for a marker; from /tmp/.tmpXXXX/r.rs it reaches /tmp, where this
machine has a stray EMPTY `.git` directory. The `.git` marker is
directory-only, so an empty directory matches, the root resolves to
/tmp, and the prefix is stripped.

THE PRODUCT BEHAVIOUR IS CORRECT AND IS NOT CHANGING. Shortening a
location against its project root is the feature. The defect is that
the fixture's assertion depends on whether the developer's /tmp happens
to contain a `.git`.

THE MECHANISM ALREADY EXISTS AND THIS SUITE ALREADY USES IT.
`src/project.rs:208` documents `detect_project_within(.., stop_root)` as
existing "so a stray marker in a temp-dir's ancestor (e.g. a
developer's /tmp/.git) can't leak into a fixture that lives below it."
It is exposed to Lua as `pmacs.project.set_search_boundary`; eight test
files make fourteen real calls to it, five of them in m4_acceptance
itself --- one carrying that same hazard as a comment. `open_against_fake`
(tests/m4_acceptance.rs:7985) is one helper that missed the pattern.

THE WITNESS PLANTS ITS OWN HAZARD, so the proof is not a property of
this machine: an empty `.git` in a temporary ancestor, the file one
level below, boundary at the file's parent. With the boundary the row
renders absolute; reverting it strips the prefix deterministically on
every machine, including CI where /tmp/.git does not exist. The
/tmp/.git observation stays as corroboration, not as the bite.

`scripts/gate` is deliberately NOT a criterion: this lane branches from
main, where that script does not exist (it is unmerged on #225). Naming
it would make this lane depend on an artifact absent from its own base.
R8 lands first on its own merits; #225 then rebases and takes "gate runs
green" as ITS criterion.

Q#R8-1 records a limitation rather than discovering it later:
parent-as-boundary is correct only while fixtures put the file as a
direct child of the fixture root. A future nested fixture cannot fix
itself by passing a deeper path --- the boundary is DERIVED from the
parent, so a deeper path clamps sooner, never later.

Provenance of /tmp/.git is left permanently unresolved, and the document
says why no timestamp is treated as authoritative.

* fix(tests): bound the LSP fixture's project detection — retires R8

`open_against_fake` never set a search boundary, so the panel tests'
rendered paths were shortened against whatever project root detection
found ABOVE their tempdir. On a machine with a stray `/tmp/.git` that
meant `/tmp` --- and the assertion that spells a path out failed
deterministically. Registry row R8.

THE PRODUCT BEHAVIOUR WAS NEVER WRONG AND IS NOT CHANGED. Shortening a
location against its project root is the feature; a file that really is
inside a project really should render relative to it. What was wrong is
that a fixture's assertion depended on the contents of the developer's
/tmp.

THE MECHANISM WAS ALREADY THERE. `src/project.rs:208` documents
`detect_project_within(.., stop_root)` as existing "so a stray marker in
a temp-dir's ancestor (e.g. a developer's /tmp/.git) can't leak into a
fixture that lives below it" --- naming this exact hazard. It is exposed
to Lua as `pmacs.project.set_search_boundary`, eight test files make
fourteen real calls to it, and five of those are in this same file, one
carrying that hazard as a comment. This was one helper that missed a
pattern its own file already used.

THE WITNESS PLANTS ITS OWN HAZARD, so the proof is not a property of one
machine. `a_planted_ancestor_marker_does_not_reach_the_rendered_row`
creates an empty `.git` in a temporary ancestor with the file one level
below, and asserts the row stays absolute. Reverting the boundary fails
it with `proj/r.rs:12:3` --- relative to the PLANTED marker, not to
/tmp, because the nearer ancestor wins. That is what makes it bite in
CI, where no /tmp/.git exists; confirmed by also running it with TMPDIR
outside /tmp.

Resting the bite on /tmp/.git would have been the same mistake as a test
that passes only where the developer happens to be standing.

/tmp/.git IS DELIBERATELY LEFT IN PLACE. Deleting it would hide the
hermeticity defect rather than fix it, its provenance is unresolved, and
it is the only thing on this machine that reproduces the row --- which
makes it useful, not merely untouchable. The R8 fix is verified WITH it
present.

VERIFICATION. The R8 test passes on the machine that reproduces it. Full
m4_acceptance 151/0. `--lib` 1920, `--lib --features crdt` 2105,
`-p pmacs-gpu` 241, fmt, clippy, `git diff --check`. The full workspace
sweep exits 0 across 113 targets --- the first fully green local sweep of
this session, R8 having been the only obstacle.

`scripts/gate` is deliberately not a criterion: this branches from main,
where it does not exist. #225 rebases onto this and takes a green gate
run as ITS criterion.

R8 is RETIRED CAUSALLY --- mechanism removed plus a discriminating,
portable witness --- and moved to the retired section with its
disposition. What the retirement does NOT claim is stated there: 113
`new_with_roots` constructions in this suite alone, an unknown number
equally unbounded, harmless only while their assertions do not render a
path. That census is now a named §6 follow-on, because the next one will
otherwise look like a fresh mystery rather than a known class.

Framing: docs/r8-fixture-boundary-framing.md (revision 2, approved).

* docs(tests): reunite the listview doc comment with its test; state the PR

Three review findings, one of which is mine to own plainly.

I REPORTED A SHA I NEVER VERIFIED. The previous message named the PR
head as `21f0ed1`. That object does not exist in this repository. The
true head is `78d8e1c` --- local tip, `githubsucks/r8-fixture-boundary`,
and the PR all agree, and it is what was reviewed. No command in that
turn ever printed `21f0ed1`; I asserted an identifier instead of
reading one, which is precisely the failure a head-SHA check exists to
catch. Verified this time before writing it down.

THE DOC COMMENT DOCUMENTED THE WRONG TEST. Inserting the new witness
anchored on `#[test]\nfn flat_listview_...`, which sits BELOW that
test's 17-line doc comment --- so the comment about outline and flat
listview consumers ended up introducing the planted-marker test, which
touches neither, while the test it was written for was left bare. Moved
back. No behaviour change; both tests still pass.

That is a general hazard of anchored insertion worth naming: anchoring
on the `fn` line silently steals whatever documentation precedes it.

STALE STATE IN TWO DOCS. The framing still said "Pre-implementation.
Awaiting approval" after being approved and implemented, and the ledger
lane said "PR PENDING" after #226 opened. Both now record approval,
implementation, the PR link, and that it is held for review with no
merge authorization.

docs: retire the QoL arc's three lanes, re-homing their durable residue (#224)
* docs: retire the long-lines lane, the QoL arc having closed at #223

Rule 4, applied in its stated order: durable facts to
`docs/agent-handoff.md` FIRST, then the lane goes. The ledger is for
volatile branch/checkpoint/recovery state, and none of that survives a
merge worth keeping.

What moved to the handoff, because it is architecture rather than
bookkeeping:

  - The GPU is not a grid consumer, so it could not inherit
    `view_left`; `code_scroll_left` is its own, in pixels, local
    viewport state with no wire and no version bump.
  - The work was ONE transform and ONE clip, written before any
    consumer moved. glyphon honors `TextBounds` so the text layers
    clip themselves; the manual quad and squiggle renderers do not,
    and nothing needed them to before this stage because no
    code-relative x could be negative.
  - Washes crop rather than drop — the same boundary Stage 4's review
    caught the TUI painter getting wrong.
  - Both lifecycle resets are observed PRE-MOTION, because a later
    cursor motion repairs the offset anyway.
  - `pmacs_protocol:📜:follow_left`: the follow rule beside
    `classify`, called by both frontends. The approved exception to
    Stage 5's scope, recorded in the framing doc §1.2a.
  - The two witnesses that exist because mutation testing found the
    TESTS wrong rather than the code — the unwitnessed glyph layer, and
    the completion predicate a far-off-left test could not catch.
    "Test a boundary AT the boundary" is the transferable part.

The `## Long lines (QoL arc)` block is removed whole; nothing else in
the ledger referenced it.

NOT REMOVED, and not an oversight: the QoL Stage 1 (#219) and Stage 2
(#220) blocks. Rule 4 would now reach them too — the arc they belong to
is closed — but Stage 2 carries a live named follow-on, capability-aware
keymap resolution (Q#Z3 option A, deliberately deferred), plus the
"first eager state consumer" restore-seam finding. Those need re-homing
before their blocks can go, which is a judgment beyond retiring the lane
that was asked for. Flagged rather than done.

* docs: complete the retirement — Stages 1 and 2, and the stale anchors

The previous commit removed the long-lines lane and stopped short. Two
things were still wrong.

STALE ANCHORS. The handoff was dated 2026-08-06 with `main` at
`db1bbe9` — five merges behind. Now 2026-08-08 at `9a26ac8`, with the
arc's five merges named in the ancestry chain, and the same in
active-work's canonical-base record and recovery floor (a tree at
`db1bbe9` no longer passes; it would lack the whole arc).

**The recovery path was re-exercised, not SHA-swapped.** That file
warns that advancing the base is exactly when the commands are most
likely to have rotted and that a swapped SHA reads identically to a
verified one — so: fresh clone into an empty directory, `githubsucks`
alias added, `git fetch --prune`, `9a26ac8` confirmed an ancestor of
`githubsucks/main`, and a worktree recovered with the three-argument
form. All four steps clean.

STAGE 1 AND STAGE 2 BLOCKS. Keeping them left false live planning
standing: "Stage 3 is long-line wrap/scroll, which is a design round:
no horizontal viewport exists at all" — written before #221–#223 built
one. A merged lane that still describes the future is worse than no
lane.

Re-homed first, per Rule 4's order:

  - **FG-INV is a CONSUMER contract**, and it lives on the protocol
    type because that is where consumer authors read it. It had been a
    doc comment on a PRIVATE PRODUCER FIELD, which is why the one
    consumer never honored it.
  - **Seven tests covered that flag and all seven tested the
    producer.** None asserted a consumer acts on it. "Add a test for
    the flag" had already been done — §5's enforcement/documentation
    drift in a second register.
  - **`install_state_dirs` is the eager-state-consumer seam.**
    Builtins and `init.lua` run before it, so `pmacs.state.read` at
    module load returns nothing, always. `saveplace` and `recentf`
    escape it only because both read lazily. Any future eager consumer
    belongs at the same seam.
  - **A GPU-only binding cannot be expressed**: `Scope` has no frontend
    identity and `FrontendEvent` no command-invocation variant. #220
    shipped commands without bindings for that reason, not preference.

  - **Capability-aware keymap resolution** is now a named §6 backlog
    item: CROSS-CUTTING, NOT STARTED, needs its own framing. It says so
    explicitly, and says not to start it as a half-lane attached to
    another stage's branch — which is how it would arrive by accident.
    No implementation, no lane, no design.

What is deliberately NOT preserved: the recovery commands for
`full-grid-resync` and `gui-zoom`. Those branches are merged; a
recovery command for a branch nobody should check out is the kind of
stale instruction this ledger exists to avoid. The framing docs remain
on disk as the historical record.

* docs: the live schema range is v6..=v22, and #224 gets its own lane

Two review findings against the retirement.

THE SCHEMA RANGE. The canonical-base paragraph still said `v6..=v21`.
The upper bound moved to **v22 at #221**, which added
`InstanceMessage::LineWrapFacts` — so that line had been wrong for two
merges, including the one this branch is retiring the lane for.

Verified against `pmacs-protocol/src/message.rs` rather than carried
forward: `SUPPORTED_PROTOCOL_VERSIONS` is `6..=22`, `PROTOCOL_VERSION`
is 22, and `ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION` is **20** and did not move.
The paragraph now says so, and says the advertised constant must not be
edited to chase the range — it is a permanent baseline, and the session
version is settled one message later by the frontend's counter-offer.

It also now states which claims it governs: historical `v21` statements
elsewhere describe a stage as it landed and are correct there. Only this
current-state paragraph tracks the live range, so only this one goes
stale when the range moves.

A LANE FOR #224. This file requires a lane for **every open PR**, and
the PR that retires other lanes is not exempt. Added with the branch,
the ref-not-a-SHA recovery command, the docs-only scope, and the
verification — including that the recovery path was re-exercised rather
than SHA-swapped, and that the full gate suite is deliberately not
re-run for a change that cannot reach it.

The entry is honest about its own lateness: it was written AFTER the PR
existed, which is the standing correction from #171 and #215 being
missed again, and it took review asking. Back-dating the block to look
compliant would have destroyed the only evidence that the practice
still slips. It carries its own retirement instruction — next
absorption after #224 merges.

Both said "this line is the head-of-`main` anchor". Neither was, and a
provenance note that claims currency is worse than a plainly historical
one — it disagrees with the real anchor at the top of the file while
looking authoritative.

The bottom-panel paragraph keeps its `v6..=v21` facts, which are correct
for the stage they describe. What changes is scope: "a current session"
becomes "a session at that anchor", and the closing clause now says
these statements describe the historical `6c9e765` anchor, with the
live range pointed at "Repository authority" in `docs/active-work.md`
(`v6..=v22` since #221; advertised baseline still v20). The
counter-offer mechanism is called out as still current independent of
which numbers it carries, since that part did not go stale.

The second was MY inconsistency, introduced earlier on this branch. I
rewrote that bullet's opening to "Beneath the QoL arc, at `db1bbe9`"
and left its closing claiming to be the head-of-`main` anchor, so the
bullet contradicted itself. It now names what it actually is — the
`db1bbe9` ancestry chain — and points at the top of the file.

Both cross-references name the file they point into. "Repository
authority" is a section of `docs/active-work.md`, not of this one, and
an unqualified "above" would resolve to nothing here.

Noted, not acted on: the bottom-panel arc has its own currency drift in
this file (§1 says Arc 7 COMPLETE at #213, two later paragraphs still
call Stage 3 the remaining step). Pre-existing, unrelated to the QoL
retirement, and not this PR's to fix.

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.

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.

docs: Stage 4 revision 4 — the tab rule was already there
Two small revisions, and every Stage 4 question is now answered.
Approval is NOT recorded; no implementation may begin.

Q#HS7(c″) — the tab-straddle mapping. Recorded as PRESERVED rather
than chosen, because it already exists: `byte_at_place`'s doc comment
says it rounds forward to the next character boundary, and the walk
accumulates past the tab byte and returns on the NEXT character's
start column, so every column inside a tab's expansion already yields
the post-tab offset (src/text_view.rs:224, :243-254). The requirement
on Stage 4 is therefore that horizontal scroll not PERTURB it — which
makes its witness a regression test, and one that should fail if the
walk is ever "optimized" to start at the effective edge instead of
column 0.

The obvious objection is that (c′) rounds backward and (c″) forward,
so the framing answers it. A wide glyph's two cells belong to ONE
character: forward-rounding its trailing cell would designate it to
the next character and leave the straddling glyph with no visible cell
mapping to it at all — unreachable by click exactly when it is what
the user scrolled toward. A tab's expansion cells are whitespace
BETWEEN the tab byte and the next character, and forward-rounding them
is already how clicking in indentation lands at the start of the text.
Different directions, one principle: every visible cell is designated
to the byte a user would mean by clicking it.

With (c′) and (c″) the (d) contract is total over visible cells:
ordinary character → its own start; bisected wide glyph → the glyph's
start; tab expansion → the byte after the tab.

Q#HS5 approved as stated, with both conditions written into the
approval rather than attached as advice: `#[serde(default)]` and a
literal v1 JSON fixture omitting the field, asserting restore at zero.

The handoff said "Stage 4 is the remainder". It now says Stages 4 AND
5 remain and the arc closes at Stage 5, carries the Q#HS1 time box,
and states explicitly that Rule 4 must not retire the long-lines lane
at Stage 4's merge. It also records that the unreachable caveat is
missing from the setting's description — the #221 gap — so that fact
lives in the durable doc and not only in a lane block that will
eventually be removed.

Ledger: the question list is consolidated (the accepted answers had
begun duplicating the blocking entries they resolved), keeping the
withdrawn (c)'s reasoning because the trap generalizes to any future
window-wide value derived from per-line content.

Levi Neuwirth baa71b607e
docs: Stage 4 revision 3 — a setter-time snap cannot exist
P1 — Q#HS7(c) WITHDRAWN, and my vote was wrong rather than vague.
Revision 2 voted to snap `view_left` to a valid boundary at the moment
it is set. That cannot exist. `view_left` is ONE per-window display
column, but "does column N bisect a wide glyph?" is a PER-LINE
question: column 11 can be a wide glyph's trailing cell on line 3 and
ordinary ASCII on line 4. No setter-time value is canonical for every
visible line. Snapping per line instead is worse — the same source
column would appear at different screen columns on different rows,
destroying the alignment a column-oriented view exists to provide.

Replaced by (c′), a per-line effective edge. `view_left` is stored
unsnapped; each line derives its own edge during the walk it already
performs from column 0. Where the requested edge bisects a wide glyph
on THAT line, the finding's actual question — what occupies the
leftmost cell — is answered: it paints as a space carrying the glyph's
style, and the mapping DESIGNATES that cell to the wide glyph's start
byte. That keeps `byte_at_place` total over visible cells, preserves
the round trip (`place_of_byte(start)` reports the straddle and
designates cell 0), and gives a click there the character a user would
expect. Bytes lying entirely left of the edge are reported not-visible
rather than clamped to column 0, because clamping would make
arbitrarily many bytes share cell 0 and destroy (d).

Recorded as deliberately NOT the mirror of Stage 3's right-edge rule:
under wrap a too-wide glyph is pushed to the next row entirely, and at
the left edge under truncate there is no next row, so the same intent
requires a different rule. Stated so nobody "fixes" one to match the
other.

(d) is amended accordingly: the invariant is a property of
`(view_left, line)`, not of `view_left` alone — which is what makes a
multi-line fixture with differing glyph widths at the same column the
DISCRIMINATING test rather than an extra one. A single-line sweep
passes against the withdrawn design.

P1 — Stage 4 no longer closes the arc, and the stale claim was
load-bearing in the wrong direction. Rule 4 removes a lane when its ARC
is done, so a framing asserting Stage 4 closes it would license
retiring the lane at the TUI merge — orphaning the very Stage 5 that
Q#HS1's time box exists to guarantee, while `truncate` is still a dead
end in the GUI. Both the framing opening and the lane header now say
the arc closes at Stage 5, and the lane carries an explicit "Rule 4
does not apply at Stage 4's merge".

P2 — the stale Stage 3 residue in the ledger claimed the unreachable
caveat is in the setting description, contradicting revision 2 forty
lines above it. Corrected in place: the caveat lives only in the
toggle's status message and a source comment, and a user who sets the
mode in init.lua is told nothing.

Q#HS5 now states the concrete condition rather than an instruction to
check one. Verified: SavedLeaf carries no #[serde(default)] anywhere in
src/desktop.rs, so serde would REJECT a version-1 desktop JSON omitting
a new `view_left`. "Yes, no version bump" is sound only with the
annotation AND a regression fixture holding literal v1 JSON without the
field. The reverse direction already works — an old binary meets an
unknown field, which serde ignores absent deny_unknown_fields, and
there is none in that file.

Levi Neuwirth 5d041a4f17
docs: Stage 4 revision 2 — three answers, and the contract revision 1 forgot
P1 — THE PROTOCOL-BUMP GATE WEAKENED THE SWEEP IT MEANT TO STRENGTHEN.
Revision 1 said `--tests --no-fail-fast` REPLACES the `--workspace`
line. Measured: `--tests` selects 108 targets, `--workspace` selects
110, and the two it drops are `pmacs_protocol` and `pmacs_gpu`. On a
PROTOCOL bump, dropping the protocol crate's tests is the wrong loss —
and it also silently dropped `--skip basedpyright`.

Worse, this lane's own remediation sweep used `--tests`, so it never
ran pmacs-protocol's 25 tests, including the `scroll::classify` tests
this lane had just written. They pass (verified 25/0), but by luck. A
correction that reproduces the shape of the mistake it corrects is
worth naming, so §3 and §5 both say `--workspace`, additive, with
`-- --skip basedpyright` retained in both feature configurations.

P1 — NO COORDINATE CONTRACT FOR view_left. Revision 1 decided what
moves the viewport and never said what its offset IS — the same
omission as shipping WrapMode with no DisplayCoord. Its verification
sketch named tabs and wide characters with no oracle for either,
because nothing defined what a left edge is.

Q#HS7 is new and BLOCKING, in four coupled parts: the unit; which
columns may be a left edge; the snap rule for an invalid one; and the
invariant rendering and coordinate mapping share. Votes recorded —
display column (tab stops come free, since the walk must start at
column 0 either way and a byte offset buys nothing); a left edge may
not fall inside a wide glyph; snap toward the line start (snapping left
can only reveal a character, snapping right can hide the one the user
scrolled to reach); and snap when the value is SET, not in the painter,
so one canonical value serves both readers.

Part (d) is why it blocks: if the painter clips where the mapper does
not, clicks land on the wrong character — silently, and only on lines
wide enough to scroll.

P2 — THE CAVEAT IS NOT IN THE SETTING DESCRIPTION. Revision 1 said it
was. builtin/runtime/linewrap.lua:23 says only "truncate at the edge";
"unreachable" lives in the toggle's status message and a source
comment, neither of which a user sees who sets the mode in init.lua.
That is a real, small user-facing gap shipped in #221. Claim corrected,
and amending the description is now a Stage 4 deliverable (§6) with the
text depending on which stage has landed.

THE THREE ANSWERS, recorded with the reasoning that decided them:

  HS1 — GPU is Stage 5. The distinction that matters is that Stage 3's
  defect was never "the frontends differ" but "the frontends differ and
  nobody chose that". Time box made concrete per the request: Stage 5
  is the immediately-next QoL lane, `wrap` stays default until it
  lands, release notes state the asymmetry, and the truncate
  affordances name the GUI gap meanwhile.

  HS2 — automatic only. No command surface; the cursor-visibility pass
  gains a horizontal component.

  HS6 — `wrap` stays default, and the reason given is stronger than the
  one revision 1 reasoned from. I had framed it as "if scroll makes
  truncate good, reconsider the default". With the GPU deferred, a
  truncate default would ship a mode navigable in the TUI and a dead
  end in the GUI for every user who never opened the setting. HS1 and
  HS6 are coupled: the split is only safe because the default does not
  move.

Q#HS4 is deferred rather than closed — not live under automatic-only,
but the snap-back hazard is real and rediscovering it costs more than
carrying the paragraph. Q#HS5 stands, with the caveat that §1.4 cites
the struct shape and not serde's behavior on a missing field.

Levi Neuwirth b110684a62
docs: frame QoL Stage 4, horizontal scroll
#221 merged, so the long-lines lane is REWRITTEN rather than removed —
rule 4 removes a lane when its arc is done, and Stage 4 is ahead. Stage
3's durable facts move to the handoff §1, which is rule 4's actual
precondition.

THE FRAMING LEADS WITH THE FACT MOST LIKELY TO INVERT ITS OWN COST
ESTIMATE, because that is what Stage 3 revision 1 got wrong. The GPU
cannot honor horizontal scroll through cosmic-text: `Scroll::horizontal`
is discarded throughout, and not by oversight — glyphon 0.11 never
applies it when placing glyphs. Documented in three places and asserted
by three tests. So the GPU's half needs a mechanism that does not exist,
touching caret placement, decoration geometry, and hit testing, each of
which assumes x starts at `text_left()`. That is Q#HS1: whether the GPU
is in Stage 4 at all.

Also verified rather than recalled: there is NO horizontal scroll
anywhere in the tree (greenfield, not an extension); `paint_line` starts
every walk at column 0, so `view_left` enters the functions Stage 3 just
rewrote and the wrap rule must stay written once; `view_top` is
persisted per leaf at DESKTOP_VERSION 1; `scroll_window`'s comment
already records the cursor-follow hazard; and `goal_col` is unexamined
horizontal state on the same window.

Six questions, each with my vote and the argument against it. The one I
am least comfortable with is Q#HS6: Stage 4 adds capability that exists
only under a NON-DEFAULT mode, which is a conditional surface rather
than a uniform improvement — and Stage 3 chose `wrap` as the default
partly BECAUSE scroll did not exist. If scroll makes `truncate` good,
that default deserves re-examination rather than inheritance.

ALSO A GATE CORRECTION, and it changes what I said in 4d70ff6. I wrote
that "the touched acceptance suites" is the standing gate. That is
CLAUDE.md's list. `docs/agent-handoff.md` §3 — which CLAUDE.md tells me
to read FIRST — already required `cargo test --workspace -- --skip
basedpyright`, a full sweep. I ran the short list. So the eight broken
version assertions were not a gap in the documented gates; they were me
following a summary instead of the gate suite.

§3 now says so, and adds the protocol-bump form (`--tests
--no-fail-fast` in both feature configurations), because even the full
sweep stops at the first failing target and builds one configuration —
it would have shown one or two of the eight, not all of them.

fix(tests): eight version assertions the v22 bump broke, five of them defects
CI red on #221: all five Test jobs, one identical test, every platform
— deterministic, not a flake. The production code was never wrong.

WHY MY GATES MISSED IT. The standing gate is "the touched acceptance
suites", selected from the diff. A PROTOCOL_VERSION bump breaks
version-assertion tests that appear nowhere in it. Worse, CI showed
only ONE of the eight, because cargo stops at the first failing
target; the rest surfaced only under `--tests --no-fail-fast`, and one
at a time would have cost four more red rounds.

Three of the eight were invisible even to that, because they are
crdt-gated real-daemon tests asserting on a live socket. Found by
`--tests --features crdt --no-fail-fast`. That is the handoff's
existing "a local sweep is blind to whichever configuration it does
not build" lesson, hit again by a different lane.

THREE TRIPWIRES, WORKING AS DESIGNED. `assert_eq!(PROTOCOL_VERSION,
21)` in statusline_segments, bottom_panel_stage2b_gpu, and
vterm_stage3 are meant to fire and take a deliberate edit; each says
so in its own comment. Updated to 22 with the reason recorded. Worth
noting the pin that must NEVER be edited —
ADVERTISED_PROTOCOL_VERSION == 20 — did not fire, which is the
mechanism behaving exactly as designed.

FIVE DEFECTS, ONE SHAPE: an absolute contract expressed as arithmetic
on, or equality with, a MOVING constant. Each was true when written
and silently false afterwards.

  - `PROTOCOL_VERSION - 1` meaning "below the panel version". Held
    only while PROTOCOL_VERSION == PANEL_MIN_VERSION; at v22 it
    equalled PANEL_MIN_VERSION exactly, so the fixture's "old" peer
    became panel-capable and the daemon correctly sent it a frame.
    Now `PANEL_MIN_VERSION - 1`.
  - `assert_eq!(PANEL_MIN_VERSION, PROTOCOL_VERSION)` — a coincidence
    true only while panels were the newest feature. Replaced by the
    two durable bounds: above the advertised floor, at or below this
    binary's wire.
  - `assert_eq!(PROTOCOL_VERSION, 21)` in a test named
    `the_panel_stage_takes_protocol_v21` — the current wire as a proxy
    for the panel stage's own version, in a test whose name says which
    one it means. Now PANEL_MIN_VERSION.
  - `session_protocol_version == "21"` in two real-daemon probes. What
    the counter-offer activates is THIS BINARY's wire, so the literal
    was only ever right by accident. Now PROTOCOL_VERSION, plus an
    explicit `>= PANEL_MIN_VERSION` for the panel capability the
    literal had been carrying implicitly.

The codebase already had the right idiom: src/daemon.rs and
pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs spell it `PANEL_MIN_VERSION - 1` in five places.
Every outlier was in tests/.

ALSO LOGGED, NOT FIXED: U2 in ci-red-signatures.md.
`process::tests::m6_1_pty_raw_mode_disables_kernel_echo` failed once
during a full corpus run and did not reproduce (108 targets exit 0,
plus 3 isolated --lib runs at 1917/0). It is in no registry row, so it
is a new incident, and leaked `pmacs --daemon` processes remain an
unexcluded rival explanation. Recorded with a selector this time —
unlike U1, whose name I destroyed by piping through `tail`.

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 840a33838a
feat(gpu): the scroll indicator asks where the bytes landed
The GPU's readout reckoned in source lines while its window holds
visual rows: `format_scroll_indicator` compares `visible` (rows that
fit) against `current_line_starts.len()` (source lines). The GPU has
always wrapped, so this is not new in this lane — but the lane is
where it became nameable, because `ui.line-wrap` is now what decides
which formula applies. A one-line file took the first branch,
`total_lines <= 1`, and reported "All" with most of itself below the
window.

Under wrap it now goes through `pmacs_protocol:📜:classify`,
the same rule the TUI took in eaf3df8, with only the string spelling
local (framing §5d.6).

The load-bearing part is how `first_visible` / `last_visible` are
decided. Two cheaper predicates are available and both are wrong:

  - `view_range.0 == 0` / `view_range.1 == len` describe the SHAPED
    span, which carries SCROLL_OVERSCAN source lines past the window.
    A slice reaching EOF says nothing about EOF being on screen. This
    is the guess that broke extreme_sizes_render_with_contained_popups
    when it was tried earlier and got reverted rather than shipped.
  - `scroll_top == 0` ignores `code_scroll_residual`, so scrolling
    into the middle of a wrapped first line still claims "Top".

So `code_byte_painted` asks cosmic-text where the byte actually
landed and intersects it with the drawable clip — `caret_rect`'s
existing test, generalized off the own cursor. Wrapped continuation
runs below the band and overscan lines shaped past the bottom both
fail it, because layout is what decides, not arithmetic over it.

`compose_status_runs` takes `&mut self` for this. That is the point
rather than a wart: the alternative is a cached per-frame
(first_visible, last_visible) pair, which is a value maintained
beside the layout and free to disagree with it — the same shape as
the `code_wrap` shadow field this lane already removed once.

One bug the tests found rather than confirmed. The first version
rejected an empty `view_range`, a guard borrowed from the caret and
completion-anchor paths where it means "nothing shaped". A file
ending in a newline has a final empty line, and a viewport parked on
it is `(len, len)` with one real row — so reaching the bottom of any
such file reported a percentage instead of "Bot". `code_byte_px`
already returns `None` when nothing is shaped, which is what that
guard was reaching for.

Bite, per clause. Replacing the pixel clip with the range test alone
fails a_wrapped_single_line_is_not_all,
a_slice_that_reaches_eof_is_not_yet_bot,
a_sub_line_residual_moves_off_top — and independently
extreme_sizes_render_with_contained_popups, the pre-existing test
that rejected this same shortcut before. Restoring the empty-range
guard fails an_empty_final_line_still_counts_as_bot and
a_slice_that_reaches_eof_is_not_yet_bot.

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.

fix(linewrap): the toggle wrote the global layer, not the buffer
ui.line-wrap is buffer-local, and the toggle was built from
pmacs.config.get(name) and pmacs.config.set(name, value) --- both of
which address the GLOBAL layer. The registry's buffer-local surface is
get(name, buf) and set_local(buf, name, value), and the command used
neither.

The result was wrong in both directions at once, which is why it needed
two witnesses rather than one. In a buffer pinned to truncate, the
toggle would read "wrap" from the global layer, decide the next mode is
truncate, and leave that buffer exactly as it was --- while writing
truncate globally and flipping every buffer that had no override of its
own. The command that changes nothing here and everything elsewhere.

Now resolves the buffer ONCE and uses it for both calls. Once matters:
resolving twice would be a narrower version of the same bug, since the
active buffer can change between two calls.

Two witnesses in a new acceptance suite, and both bite against the code
review rejected --- restoring the global-layer toggle fails both while
the default and enum tests keep passing, which is exactly how it
shipped. the_toggle_moves_this_buffer_and_leaves_the_other_alone covers
the leak outward: a second buffer and the global layer must be
untouched. a_pinned_buffer_toggles_from_its_own_value covers the miss
inward: a buffer whose value differs from global must toggle from ITS
value.

Note on the second buffer: there is no Lua buffer-switch, so "the
other" is a buffer that exists but is not shown. That is the case that
matters anyway --- a global write reaches every buffer without an
override, shown or not.

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.

fix(protocol): saturating_mul undercounted the percentage silently
byte_pos.saturating_mul(100) does not merely lose precision at the top
of the range --- it collapses the numerator to a constant. u64::MAX
times 100 saturates to u64::MAX, and u64::MAX / u64::MAX is 1, so a
cursor at the very end of a maximal buffer read 1%.

Wrong in the worst way available: in range, plausible, and passing
every test. percent_is_always_in_range asserted only p <= 100, which
Percent(1) satisfies perfectly. The sweep even included the exact
(u64::MAX, u64::MAX) pair and reported success, because it never asked
what the answer should be.

Computes in u128 now. u64::MAX * 100 fits with room to spare, so the
product is exact and the only remaining clamp is the genuine one --- a
caller reporting a cursor past the end still gets 100%, never above.

large_byte_counts_stay_accurate is the correctness witness the range
sweep could not be. It bites: against the old arithmetic it fails with

  left: Percent(1)
  right: Percent(100)

while percent_is_always_in_range keeps passing, which is the point of
adding it rather than extending that one. It also pins u64::MAX/2 at
49% and u64::MAX/4 at 24%, and includes u64::MAX/100 + 1 --- the
smallest position whose scaling overflows u64, and therefore the first
input the old code got wrong.

percent_is_always_in_range keeps its sweep and gains a note about what
it does not prove, so the next reader does not mistake bounded for
correct.

feat(protocol): one scroll classifier, so the frontends cannot disagree
First implementation commit for QoL Stage 3 (framing section 5d.6,
COHERENCE section 16).

ScrollPosition and a pure classify() land in pmacs-protocol. Not a wire
type, and deliberately not presentation either. The split: each
frontend computes its own local layout facts --- whether the buffer's
first or last row is on screen is a question only the frontend that
laid the text out can answer --- while the shared crate owns the
semantic decision those facts feed. Rendering to a string stays in each
frontend.

No wire message and no protocol-version bump. classify is a pure
function over values each side already holds.

Why it cannot take the existing four counts. format_scroll_indicator
derives EVERY branch from total_lines, and line wrapping leaves no row
total to give it: the GPU shapes only its viewport slice, so it cannot
count rows it never laid out, and computing a total arithmetically
would disagree with the break points cosmic-text actually chose.
Handing that signature byte counts instead would make

  view_top + visible >= total_lines

compare rows against bytes --- plausible strings, meaningless
arithmetic. So the mixing is not avoided here, it is unrepresentable:
two decided predicates and a byte pair, and no count of rows enters the
module at all.

The bug this forecloses is not hypothetical. pmacs-gpu depends on
pmacs-protocol and never on the pmacs lib, so the readout was
duplicated STRUCTURALLY --- once in src/editor.rs, once in
pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs, each with its own tests. During this lane's
review a fix landed in one copy while the other kept reporting "All"
for a wrapped one-line buffer. The GPU's own test pins the premise
today: format_scroll_indicator(0, 10, 1, 0) == "All", and a wrapped
single line still has total_lines == 1.

a_wrapped_single_line_is_top_not_all is that case, and it passes here
for a structural reason rather than a careful one: the classifier is
never told how many lines there are.

Five tests including degenerate totality --- empty buffer, cursor past
the end, u64::MAX offsets --- and a range sweep asserting Percent never
leaves 0..=100.

docs: the classifier belongs where the frontends cannot disagree
Section 5d.6 answered as (b): ScrollPosition and the pure classify go
in pmacs-protocol, string rendering stays in each frontend.

The reading that settles it is sharper than "shared vocabulary". Each
frontend computes its own local layout facts --- which rows are on
screen is a question only it can answer --- while the shared crate owns
the common semantic decision those facts feed. That is not presentation
leaking into the protocol crate; it is the DECISION placed where both
frontends are structurally unable to disagree, with rendering left
where it belongs.

Two properties bound the change: no wire message and no protocol
version bump, since classify is a pure function over values each side
already holds; and the one-copy-fixed defect from 5d.3 becomes
unrepresentable rather than reviewer-guarded, because there is only one
classifier to fix.

Q#LL8 approved. All eight questions answered. Implementation begins.

Levi Neuwirth 7b2f90c77e
docs: one signature cannot serve two contracts
Revision 16 said the scroll formatter could keep its signature and
change only what callers pass. It cannot, and the byte fallback in
revision 17 made that unavoidable rather than merely untidy.

Every branch of format_scroll_indicator derives from total_lines:

  total_lines <= 1                      -> All
  visible >= total_lines                -> All
  view_top == 0                         -> Top
  view_top + visible >= total_lines     -> Bot
  pct = (cursor_row + 1) * 100 / total_lines

Revision 17 removed the total. Passing byte counts makes the Bot branch
compare rows against bytes --- it would return plausible strings that
mean nothing. Passing any stand-in small enough to satisfy the guards
restores the false All this section exists to remove. And "local
predicates" is not something that signature can evaluate, because it
has no parameter for them.

Resolved by not asking it to. truncate calls the existing formatter
UNTOUCHED, with the same arguments in the same units, so its output is
byte-identical by construction rather than by assertion, and every
existing formatter test stays valid --- including the GPU's
format_scroll_indicator(0, 10, 1, 0) == "All", which correctly pins
line-space behavior. wrap calls a new classifier:

  classify(first_visible: bool, last_visible: bool,
           byte_pos: u64, byte_len: u64) -> ScrollPosition

All = first && last; Top = first && !last; Bot = last && !first;
otherwise Percent from bytes. No count of rows enters it, so the unit
mixing is not avoided but unrepresentable.

The actual mistake was trying to serve two genuinely different
contracts from one four-count signature. It could only do that by
making units implicit, which is how the contradiction arose. This is
5b.5's identity-case strategy applied to the indicator itself: the old
mode keeps the old code, and the new mode gets code shaped to it.

Leaves one question open. pmacs-gpu depends on pmacs-protocol only,
never on the pmacs lib, so format_scroll_indicator is duplicated
STRUCTURALLY and the classifier faces the same fork. Duplicating it
preserves exactly the condition that produced the earlier defect, where
one copy was fixed and the other was not. Sharing it through
pmacs-protocol makes the agreement structural rather than maintained,
which is the principle that chose byte-anchoring, additive sub_row, and
a content-derived cache key --- but it widens that crate from wire
vocabulary toward presentation, which is a COHERENCE section 16
layering question and not this lane's to settle alone.

Levi Neuwirth d6b5285234
docs: the GPU cannot count rows it never shaped
Revision 16 gave the GPU its scroll-indicator total on the premise that
"cosmic-text already knows each line's visual height". It does not.
rebuild_code_slice feeds cosmic-text current_text[vstart..vend] and
nothing else, because Session S1 found that feeding the whole rope made
large-file editing O(file) per keystroke. The GPU's layout holds the
viewport slice plus overscan; it cannot yield total visual rows, nor
the cursor's or top's row ordinal.

Re-shaping the whole document to recover them would reintroduce exactly
the cost that design exists to prevent --- for a status-line readout.

So the aggregate is abandoned rather than relocated. NN% is computed
from BYTE POSITION in both frontends; truncate keeps today's
visible-line percentage. No total, no cache, no invalidation.

Three reasons it is abandoned rather than approximated. Rows-per-line
could be computed as ceil(width / cols) without shaping, but
cosmic-text decides the real break points, so the number could disagree
with what is on screen --- the same approximate-parity trap Q#LL5
rejected for whitespace wrapping. Letting the TUI use row ordinals and
the GPU use bytes would show two percentages for one buffer, which is
this lane's own defect a third time. And All/Top/Bot are unaffected
either way: they are local predicates, they stay exact, and they are
the states a user actually reads.

This retires the cache from revision 15 and the fold-key correction
from revision 16. That correction was right for the design as it stood;
the design moved under it. Section 5d.2 is marked SUPERSEDED rather
than deleted, because "the key was fixed" and "there is no key" are
different states and a later reader should be able to tell which one
happened here.

Adds the large-file guard as a witness rather than an intention: an
indicator paint must leave the GPU's view_range and shaped_top
untouched, must not lay out beyond the viewport in the TUI, and
open_100mb_under_200ms must still pass with wrap as the default mode.
Without those, the decision is an unenforced comment and a later
"improvement" to a real row count would silently restore O(file) work.

Known imprecision, stated rather than left to be discovered: under
folds a byte percentage counts hidden bytes. Folding is TUI-only today,
and it matches Emacs. It belongs to the GPU folding lane, not this one.

Levi Neuwirth b95506f6ca
docs: LL8 fixed one frontend and keyed a cache on the wrong state
Two corrections to Q#LL8, both found by review of 1c9ff6a, and both the
same shape: a fix that read as complete because it was correct in one
of two places.

The GPU has its own scroll indicator. format_scroll_indicator is
DUPLICATED, not shared --- src/editor.rs:5509 and
pmacs-gpu/src/main.rs:10114, each with its own tests --- and the GPU
passes current_line_starts.len(), a source-line count. So revision 15
would have fixed the indicator in the TUI and left the GPU reporting
"All" for a one-line wrapped buffer.

That is worth naming plainly: it is this lane's own defect, reproduced
inside the section written to close it. The lane exists because two
frontends disagree for reasons nobody chose, and the fix disagreed for
exactly that reason one more time.

Both copies keep their signature. The formatter is a pure function over
counts and is correct as written; what changes is what the callers
pass --- visual rows rather than source lines, visible rows rather than
visible lines. Every existing formatter test stays valid, including the
GPU's own format_scroll_indicator(0, 10, 1, 0) == "All", which pins
line-space behavior and must not silently change meaning.

The lazy total's cache key omitted fold state. Folds are built per
rendered window and can be collapsed or expanded with no edit, no
resize and no mode change --- so all three of revision 15's key
components sit still while the projection underneath them moves. Cache
NN%, toggle a fold, and the stale total is served for the new
projection.

Now keyed on (buffer generation, content width, mode, fold projection),
and specifically on the projection's own components rather than a
revision counter on the fold registry. Components is one entry per
collapsed region, so comparing it is O(folds), and the key IS the thing
it guards --- it cannot be forgotten. A maintained counter can, on
every present and future mutation path, which is the same
did-you-remember hazard as LL7's buffer-switch trigger. Same principle
as byte-anchoring over a row index and additive sub_row over redefining
row: self-validating beats maintained.

Content width, not window width. Wrapping happens in the text area, and
the gutter's width changes at the line-count digit boundary (9 -> 10,
99 -> 100) --- something the GPU's sync_buffer_dimensions comment
already records for its own shaping. Keying on window width would serve
a stale total across that boundary.

Three witnesses added: the reported case in BOTH frontends, a "cache,
then toggle a fold" case that fails against revision 15's key, and a
digit-boundary case.

Levi Neuwirth 1c9ff6a033
docs: the GPU had no wire, and "everything is local" was false
Two holes in revision 14, both found by review of this lane's own first
commit, and both would have been discovered during implementation at
much greater cost.

Q#LL7 --- the mode never reached the GPU. Section 4 resolves
ui.line-wrap into Viewport, which reaches the GRID renderer. The GPU is
not a grid consumer: it lays out locally, ignores CellDelta,
BufferSnapshot carries only CRDT bytes, and no InstanceMessage variant
expresses a wrap mode. So truncate would have changed the TUI and left
the GPU wrapping --- the two frontends still disagreeing, which is the
one thing this lane exists to fix. Q#LL5's "character wrap in both" was
equally unreachable: setting Wrap::Glyph at startup is not honoring a
mode that can change.

Specified as an additive variant at v22, appended after the current
final variant with the advertised baseline left at 20 --- the path
FontFacts took at v17 and the panel shapes at v21, and the baseline
constant's own doc reserves moving it for changes that cannot be
expressed additively. This one can.

It carries buffer_id, and is resent on attach, on config change, AND on
buffer switch. The third trigger is the one a FontFacts-shaped design
misses: font size is global, wrap mode is per buffer, so switching from
a truncate buffer to a wrap buffer changes the effective mode with no
config event at all. A design listening only to on_change is silently
wrong and passes every single-buffer test.

Q#LL8 --- the scroll indicator falsifies the locality claim. Revision
14 asserted every vertical consumer is local. format_scroll_indicator
is not: a one-line buffer wrapping to fifty screen rows has
total_lines == 1, so the first branch returns "All" while forty-nine
rows sit below the viewport. The indicator claims the whole buffer is
visible when almost none of it is.

The claim is narrowed rather than abandoned, because the distinction
that bounds the cost survives: a TOTAL is one number, lazily computed
and cached; a PREFIX-SUM INDEX is O(N) resident storage. Stage 3 needs
the first and still does not need the second. All, Top and Bot need no
aggregate at all --- each is a local predicate falling out of the
render walk --- so only NN% pays, which matters because the M1 gate
measures open time on a 100MB file.

Also fixes a notation hazard. Section 7 said pos_to_display returns
"the visual row", which reads as redefining row --- the exact thing
5b.5 forbids, stated two sections apart. Every wrap-point example is
now the explicit triple {row, sub_row, col}. Writing them out makes the
point visible: both coordinates at a soft break share the same row,
because a wrap does not cross a source line. That is the information a
redefinition would have destroyed, and the pair notation hid it.

Status returns to not-approved. Both questions change what gets built,
not how, so implementation waits on them.

docs: frame QoL Stage 3, long lines
A line wider than the window cannot be read past the edge in the TUI.
The GPU is not in that state --- it already wraps --- so the
cross-frontend defect is not unreadability. It is that NEITHER behavior
was chosen: the TUI truncates because a cell walk breaks at max_cols,
the GPU wraps because cosmic-text's Wrap::WordOrGlyph default was never
overridden. Two accidents that disagree, and no way to state a
preference in either.

Eleven revisions of review, and the corrections were the substance.
Revision 1 claimed both frontends render from the same CellGrid, which
inverted the entire cost model --- pmacs-gpu ignores the grid variants
and lays out locally, and its own comment says so. Later rounds caught
an impossible round-trip invariant, a "collision" between two
coordinates that were one position, an off-grid argument against a
function that has no grid, a false binary for view_top, and a
renumbered visible-line space that does not exist. Each is recorded
with its reasoning rather than quietly fixed, because the pattern ---
an assertion that reads as precise while resting on something
unverified --- is more useful to the next reader than any single fix.

All six questions are answered and the framing is approved:

  LL1  wrap + truncate, default wrap; horizontal scroll is Stage 4
  LL2  buffer-local mode, resolved into Viewport like folds
  LL4  do not adopt editing.fill-column; ours is ui.line-wrap
  LL5  character wrap in BOTH frontends
  LL6  no global map; byte-anchored view_top; additive DisplayCoord

Two of those deserve to be found later rather than discovered:

GUI users lose word wrap. Character-wrap parity is cheap, true, and
matches Emacs, whose default wrap is also a character wrap. But the GPU
has word-wrapped since it existed and nobody opted into losing it. The
alternative was a UAX #14 dependency, because a whitespace-based grid
wrap would give only APPROXIMATE parity against cosmic-text's Unicode
line breaking --- which is worse than honest divergence, since it looks
unified until it is not.

The audit strategy is asymmetric deliberately. The coordinate functions
gain a required context parameter so the compiler enumerates every call
site; DisplayCoord gains an additive sub_row so untouched consumers
stay CORRECT rather than merely findable. Compiler-enforced where
enforcement is possible, correct-by-default where it is not.

Also corrects two ledger headers that still said OPEN for PRs merged
earlier today (#218 at 09:59Z, #217's absorption; #219 at 13:41Z).
Neither lane is removed --- rule 4 removes a lane when its ARC is done,
not when a PR merges, and the QoL arc has this stage left. Read each
block before cutting it.

docs: a tip SHA goes stale in the commit that writes it
The zoom lane recorded `1e054f7` as the authoritative tip. Committing
that line advanced the tip to b645fe7, so the claim was false before it
was pushed --- self-invalidating, not merely out of date.

The ledger already says this, twice: the docs-absorption and
signal-integrity lanes both note that any edit to their block advances
past whatever SHA it records, so the REF is the thing to trust. I wrote
a new lane without following the convention the file states about
itself.

Removes the SHA and says why, so the next lane inherits the reason
rather than the rule alone.

The base SHA stays. 218d2e7 is a merge commit that already exists and
nothing here can move it --- it is a fact about where the branch
started, not a claim about where it is.

docs: the zoom lane recorded revision 4 and three findings
The lane went stale across two review rounds. It said framing revision
4, 13 acceptance tests, and "the three findings review caught" --- all
true when written, none true now.

Brings it current: revision 5, the pushed tip, 15 tests, and the two
later findings. The quantization one gets a real entry rather than a
mention, because its content is a REUSABLE fact about this codebase ---
ConfigKind::Number validates finiteness and bounds and nothing else,
and on_change cannot veto --- so any future setting needing a stronger
predicate than a range meets the same wall.

Also records the verification asymmetry that mattered: the raw-step
bite fails the new witness while the pre-existing 0.37 test still
passes. That is why it had to be a separate test, and it is the kind of
detail a lane summary usually drops.

New section for pre-checkout CI reds, which #220 hit three times. The
job dies in "Set up job" before actions/checkout; grepping the full log
for checkout/cargo/test-result returns 0. No code is fetched, so the
red says nothing about the commit in either direction --- re-running it
is a first execution, not a retry-to-green.

It gets a section here and not a registry row on purpose: matching
requires an exact test selector plus fragments, and no test ran. Making
it a row would mean deforming the row shape. Whether the registry wants
a non-row section for the class is left to its owner.

Written down rather than acted on silently because the registry's
opening instruction is to read it BEFORE attributing a red run to the
environment, and that is exactly the attribution being made here.

docs(zoom): the ties both round up, they do not oppose
Review caught the explanation of the 0.015 round-trip break, not the
fix. Three copies of it claimed 16.015 rounds up while 16.005 rounds
down --- "opposite directions". Both round UP.

Verified rather than reasoned about: at the point the quantizer sees
them, 16.015 * 100 is exactly 1601.5 and 16.005 * 100 is exactly
1600.5. Both are exact ties, and half-up sends both away from zero.

So the mechanism is not opposed rounding, it is that half-up is not
symmetric under negation. Rounding up on the way in adds half a
centi-pixel; rounding up on the way out adds another, so the two
errors ACCUMULATE instead of cancelling, and 16.00 -> 16.02 -> 16.01
ends one centi-pixel high. "Opposite directions" would have predicted
them cancelling, which is the reverse of what happens.

Corrected in all three places that carried it: the module comment, the
test's doc comment, and framing section 3.2.

Comments only --- no behavior change, and the witness values in the
tests were already right. Zoom suite still 15/15.

fix(zoom): quantize the step, or the round-trip guarantee is false
THE BOUNDS WERE NOT SUFFICIENT AND THE TEST COULD NOT SEE IT.
`ConfigKind::Number` validates finiteness and bounds and nothing else,
and `on_change` listeners are notified after a value is stored — they
cannot veto. So 0.015 is a perfectly settable step and nothing in the
registry can refuse it.

Used raw it breaks the framed guarantee, because each operation rounds
independently and 16.015 and 16.005 round in OPPOSITE directions:

  step 0.015:  16.00 -> 16.02 -> 16.01     broken
  step 0.37 :  16.00 -> 16.37 -> 16.00     holds

The existing round-trip test used 0.37 — centi-pixel representable — so
it passed against the defect. Bitten now: with the raw value the new
case lands on 16.01, while the 0.37 case still passes, which is exactly
why it needed to be its own witness.

QUANTIZED WHERE USED, not at `set`. Sizes live in integer hundredths
end to end and `validate_font_size` already range-checks the original
and then rounds to the nearest hundredth; rounding the step is that
same operation one level up. A step of 0.015 is not a finer step in
this domain, it is 0.02 written imprecisely.

Enforcing at set time was considered and rejected: the registry cannot
express a precision constraint, and a validating wrapper is bypassed by
a direct `pmacs.config.set` — the seam `autosave` already documents
about its own interval_ms wrapper. Quantizing at the point of use
cannot be bypassed. Both descriptions say "quantized to hundredths", so
`describe-setting` shows it.

The framing header also still said "proposed, awaiting approval" while
the lane and this PR recorded it approved and implemented. Revision 5,
with §3.2 recording the gap and why quantization rather than rejection
closes it.

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.

Verified: fmt, clippy, diff-check, --lib 1900/0, crdt 2085/0,
gui_zoom 13/13, journey 47/0, m4 150/0, gpu 221/0, full_grid 1/1.

docs: the framing said "awaiting approval" after being approved
Two places, not one. The status line said proposed, and §3 still said
Q#FG1 "needs approval before implementation" — while the lane, the
branch, and PR #219 all record it decided as A. A framing that
survives the lane is the durable record; one that describes its own
state wrongly is worse than no record, because it reads as authoritative.

Also records what implementation corrected about the framing rather
than leaving §5.2 describing a witness that was not built: the
time-based settle it specified cannot work, since a settled pmacs
screen emits per-frame bytes forever and "output stopped growing" never
becomes true. The shipped test anchors to content instead, which
excludes startup's clears by construction rather than by timing — and
its repaint-ordering assertion has to be scoped after the new clear,
because the fixture repeats its marker and the suffix opens with the
tail of startup's own frame.

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.

docs: retire the tree and macOS-CI arcs, and file two unrecorded reds

docs: four review defects, and a documented error that never happens
1. THE CENTRAL RULE LACKED ITS TIME QUALIFIER. It said any red matching
a retired row is a recurrence — under which this PR's own R2 finding
reopens R2. Now: a match POSTDATING the retirement challenges the
disposition; a match predating it corroborates. That is not a
technicality. An occurrence scan reaches backwards by construction, so
most matches it finds are the earlier kind, and the old wording would
reopen every retired row the first time anyone scanned.

2. R5 AND R6 SAT UNDER "RETIRED ROWS" while declaring themselves live
and undiagnosed. I inserted them before R2's heading, which put them in
the wrong section — presentation contradicting classification in a file
whose whole job is classification. Moved under Live rows.

3. RECOVERY ANCHORS STILL DECLARED 12f2970, so the check accepted a
checkout lacking #216 and #217 while the same file described both as
complete. Advanced to db1bbe9, with the ancestry verified rather than
assumed.

4. THE HANDOFF'S DURABLE TREE FACTS STILL SAID IDS ARE OPAQUE AND
COMPARED BY EQUALITY — the contract ef99b64 deliberately narrowed. A §5
lesson explaining a correction does not fix a summary that still states
the uncorrected fact; the summary is what a new agent reads first.
Corrected there and in the header, which also still called Stage 2 in
flight and anchored main at f186253.

AND ONE FINDING FROM RE-EXERCISING THE RECOVERY PATH RATHER THAN
SWAPPING ITS SHA. This file claimed `git worktree add <path>
githubsucks/<branch>` fails with "fatal: invalid reference". It does
not fail. On git 2.55.0 it SUCCEEDS and leaves a detached HEAD — no
branch, no upstream.

Still use -b, but the reason is the opposite of the one recorded: the
hazard is not an error that stops you, it is that nothing stops you.
Work committed there sits on no branch and is not pushed by a bare
`git push` — the "uncommitted work does not travel" hazard wearing the
shape of committed work. A documented error message that never appears
is worse than no documentation, because the reader waits for a signal
that is not coming.

Verified: fmt, diff-check, --lib, listview 26/26. Recovery path re-run
from an empty directory at the new base; all four steps clean.

docs: this lane's own block, written before its PR
The ledger requires a lane for every open PR. #171 drifted 153 commits
while invisible here and #215 had no lane until review caught it, so
the block goes in with the lane's own commits rather than after someone
asks for it.
