Review round 1: six findings, four sharing one shape — the panel layer was a
partial port of the document/terminal layer, and the tests asserted the
declaration side only, so each omission was invisible. Audited as a port
rather than patched as a list.
GEOMETRY AGREEMENT (P1). Three grids had drifted apart. The declaration
subtracted `TEXT_LEFT` from its width against the parent framing's explicit
contract ("`total.cols` describes the full-width panel grid beginning at
x=0; document `TEXT_LEFT`/gutter padding is unrelated"), while painting and
hit-testing used the document-dependent `mono_advance` and the declaration
used the stable probe. So daemon columns could overflow the surface and a
click could resolve to a different cell than the one painted — and the new
test separated the two advances and then asserted only the declaration, so
it saw none of it.
The fix is structural, not three edits: the advance is cached BEHIND the
declaration (`PanelBand::declared_advance`) and painting and hit-testing read
it. They cannot disagree, because there is one value. The band's rect is now
x = 0 across the full surface width, and the fractional right-edge remainder
is band background that maps to no cell — which is what the framing says and
what `hit_test_cell`'s column bound already enforced.
GESTURES (P1). Only `Move` was sent. Left press never armed, so `Drag(Left)`
was never emitted and panel selection could not work; releases outside the
band were dropped, leaving the daemon holding a button down; right-click and
wheel never consulted the band at all and were applied to the document
underneath.
The root cause is that four handlers each decided for themselves whether the
band owned a pixel, and three did not ask. There is now ONE authority —
`PointerSurface` / `classify_pointer_surface` — and all four route through
it, so a future handler cannot quietly forget the band. `PanelBackground` is
its own arm: the remainder is the band's pixel even though it emits no
`PanelPointer`, so it must not fall through either.
PASSIVE CARET (P1). The producer ships `cursor` for a passive panel too — it
is the window's real point and the daemon does not suppress it — so painting
it unconditionally put a second insertion caret on screen. Gated on
`frame.focused`, the presentation bit Q#BP14b reserves for exactly this.
UNDERLINES (P2). `build_grid` planned them and nobody consumed them. Straight
forms now ride the quad batch and curly rides the squiggle pipeline, the same
split the terminal path makes for the same reason.
VERSION MISMATCH (P2). The daemon reported the advertised baseline as the
server version while its own `PROTOCOL_VERSION` is 21, contradicting the wire
field's own documentation and inverting the upgrade advice. The field doc now
states what each side can know, and the acceptance is re-pinned — it had been
holding the wrong value in place.
Two gaps the audit found beyond the six, same shape:
* the headless probe never armed the panel wire at all, so no probe could
ever exercise a band;
* a disconnect left the band on screen — the frozen, live-looking surface
the terminal arm already refuses.
