Active work — cross-machine resume ledger
Snapshot: 2026-07-22. This file records volatile work that has not
landed on main. Read it after docs/agent-handoff.md. Remove completed
entries when their PR merges; do not let this become a second permanent
backlog.
Repository authority
- Canonical development URL:
https://github.com/levineuwirth/pmacs.git. This ledger uses the normalized local aliasgithubsucksso its refs and recovery commands are identical on every machine. Remote names are otherwise machine-local:originmay name this canonical URL, a release mirror, or something else, and therefore has no authority by name alone. - Canonical base at this snapshot:
githubsucks/main@cac4961(Vterm Stage 3 #135 merged after tab-width parity #137; protocol v19). - On the transfer source,
origin/mainnamed a release mirror atd3fa632and lagged badly. On the current destination,originnames the canonical URL. This difference is why all recovery begins by verifying URLs and normalizinggithubsucksrather than trustingorigin/main. - The shared desktop checkout contained unrelated uncommitted work. The branches below were prepared in isolated worktrees; never clean or overwrite the shared checkout to recover them.
Start on another machine by inspecting its remotes:
git remote -v
git remote get-url githubsucks
If the second command says the alias is absent, add it; if it prints a different URL, stop and resolve that collision rather than overwriting an unknown remote:
git remote add githubsucks https://github.com/levineuwirth/pmacs.git
Then recover current refs:
git fetch githubsucks --prune
git log -1 --oneline githubsucks/main
git worktree list
git status --short --branch
The first command must expose cac4961 or a newer intentional main.
If it does not, stop and repair the remote/fetch configuration.
Parked lane: kill-ring browser + persistence
- Portable branch:
githubsucks/kill-ring-browser - Parked framing head:
503c489 - State: framing only, revision 2; no implementation and no PR.
- Status: explicitly parked by the user on 2026-07-20.
- Its original scout was based on
0efb5cd. The preserved framing marks this ground truth stale and requires a complete re-scout against the then-currentgithubsucks/mainbefore implementation. - Compile-mode has merged since the original scout, so old “compile-mode in flight” keybinding/touch-set assumptions are not authoritative.
Recovery worktree, only when the user un-parks it:
git worktree add --track \
-b kill-ring-browser \
../pmacs-kill-ring-browser \
githubsucks/kill-ring-browser
Documentation lane
- Portable branch:
githubsucks/handoff-2026-07-20 - Carries synchronized
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, this ledger, the durable handoff refresh, and the keybinding reference correction. - It changes no runtime code.
- Review and merge this documentation branch separately; it must not be folded into a feature framing branch.
- Now also absorbs both landed arcs: Vterm Stage 1 (#126) and the config
registry (#127). Canonical
mainis merged into it up to2e37c04, so its diff againstmainis documentation only.

Branches deleted 2026-07-22 (authorized):
vterm-stage3-framing(Revision 8 framing; its content is carried onvterm-gpu, verified as a superset before deletion — the branch was NOT an ancestor ofvterm-gpubecause the framing was copied rather than merged, so it needed a forced local delete) andtab-width-parity(a clean ancestor ofmainvia #137). Both removed as worktree + local ref +githubsucksref; theorigintracking refs were pruned. The-framingbranches for each are deliberately kept. -
Tab-width rendering parity — MERGED as #137 (
main@2625ec7, 2026-07-22). One fixed 8-columnTAB_STOP_COLUMNSinpmacs-protocolnow drives core/TUI columns, GPU code projection, and minimap width; source bytes and protocol ranges are unchanged. Its lane, worktree, andtab-width-paritybranch (local +githubsucks) are deleted; thetab-width-parity-framingbranch is kept. This closes the long-standing "tab width is a rendering-parity bug, NOT a config gap" deferral recorded indocs/agent-handoff.md§5. -
Locals-query processing — MERGED as #134 (with handoff #136), and modeline detection handoff #133. Both landed between this lane's base and its canonical-main integration.
-
Config registry — MERGED as #127 (
main@2e37c04). Its lane (config-registry, worktree../pmacs-config-registry) is done; the branch is kept but carries nothing unmerged. Durable substrate facts moved todocs/agent-handoff.md§1 per rule 3 below. -
Both this and Vterm Stage 1 ran as concurrent lanes in sibling worktrees off
main, with the shared files (src/editor.rs,src/lua_bindings/mod.rs,src/lib.rs) assigned to one lane each in advance. The rebase of the second lane onto the first had zero conflicts — worth repeating for future parallel work, along with its precondition: agree the file split before either lane starts, and keep each lane's footprint in the other's files to a single line.
Update protocol
Whenever a listed lane changes materially:
- update its public branch and head/state here;
- record new verification and remove superseded caveats;
- keep durable architecture in
docs/agent-handoff.md, not here; - remove the lane after merge or abandonment;
- verify every recovery command from a clean worktree before calling the transfer complete.
