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.

The previous commit wrote "head 55faa45" into the ledger and, by
existing, made it false — recording the PR moved the head to 4902048.
A SHA pinned in a document that the act of writing it stales is a trap,
not a record.

The ledger already states the correct convention two paragraphs down
("the authoritative tip — the ref, not a SHA"); this follows it, and
says to verify CI against the PR's live headRefOid.
