The pmacs-gpu frontend can now render the minibuffer, so M-x, C-x-prefixed
commands, and the LSP rename prompt work in the GUI. Render-only — the
minibuffer logic already lives in the core, which is untouched (its fields
are public, so the producer reads them directly).
Protocol v12 (additive; SUPPORTED = [6..12]):
- `InstanceMessage::MinibufferPrompt { prompt, input, cursor, candidates,
selected, total }` — bufferless (the minibuffer is one global core
instance), daemon-gated >= 12. The candidate list ships as a windowed
slice (<= MB_VISIBLE = 10) around the selection, so a 1000-command M-x
sends ~10 strings per keystroke, not 1000.
Producer / daemon / TUI:
- `semantic_render::minibuffer_prompt_msg` — cached-compare suppressed
(a single value, not per-buffer), emitted from the active-buffer
viewport. daemon gates the variant >= 12. The TUI ignores it (it paints
the minibuffer via its own bottom row).
GPU:
- The bottom band shows `prompt + input` (ahead of search/status) with a
band caret at the input cursor (monospace advance off the shaped band
width); the buffer caret hides while a prompt is open.
- A vertical completion dropdown above the band — best match at top,
selected row highlighted — via a third `TextRenderer` over bg quads
(the menu popup pattern, reusing its colors). Only shows when there are
candidates.
- `is_minibuffer_open_chord` forwards M-x and the C-x prefix (otherwise
withheld) so the GUI can open a prompt / enter a prefix; the daemon then
flips `dispatch_idle` false and the intercept gate round-trips the rest.
(Also collapsed two unnested_or_patterns clippy nits in the chord
helpers.)
Tests: candidate windowing, the producer (open M-x via Lua -> prompt +
windowed candidates -> cached-compare -> cancel clears), a v12 postcard
round-trip, and the version pin.
