Arc 4 stage 1 (docs/theme-faces-framing.md, revision 4). Faces are
theme entries under the reserved ui/ui.* namespace -- zero new Lua
API. Theme::face() resolves with the dotted-prefix walk but never
falls back to default_style; each face applies owns-surface within
its stage-1 component mask, identical on both frontends.
Substrate: two monotonic theme mutation counters (syntax/face) with
transactional set/merge/clear/default (parse before locking, commit
all-or-nothing, bump from the prior value); the StyleGate and the
minimap summary key on the counters -- fixing the pre-existing bug
where a mid-session pmacs.theme.set never re-shipped StyleSpans --
with the summary gaining payload-equality suppression that still
advances its key on computation.
Wire: InstanceMessage::ThemeFacts appended after CompletionPopup
(postcard discriminants are ordinal; a byte pin guards placement),
PROTOCOL_VERSION 15 -> 16, daemon-gated >= 16, one authoritative
table per attachment (None-seeded baselines), TUI silent-drop arm.
Grid: paint_frame resolves ui.modeline / ui.statusline /
ui.minibuffer(.candidate) / ui.gutter / ui.selection faces;
SearchView and DiagnosticView take the theme handle through the real
attachment paths (EditorCore injection, install_diag threading); the
canonical severity color resolves ui.diag.* with the Default ->
built-in policy that keeps the minimap presence encoding sound.
GPU: exact-name face table applied per draw with the Q#TH5 Default
mapping (plain text / window bg, reverse swap), local/peer wash
split, candidate-dropdown glyph site, and the status-band
shaping-cache invalidation without which a diag-face recolor with
constant counts kept stale counter colors.
Tests: 18-test acceptance suite (grid, wire, daemon gate, atomicity,
monotonicity, late join), 7 GPU headless tests incl. decoded vertex
colors, units for the face walk / transactional commits / producer
caches; protocol pins for v16 + the CompletionPopup byte pin.
Bites vs 3cbb9de (scripts/bite): semantic_render.rs (8 runtime test
failures), editor.rs (5 runtime), daemon.rs (v15 gate, runtime);
lua_bindings/mod.rs, pmacs-gpu/main.rs, search.rs, diag.rs, and
highlight.rs bite as compile failures (weaker evidence, disclosed).
