+# v0.2.0: Renderables — Box and Text
+
+> Implementation plan for the first two renderable component types.
+
+**Goal:** Create Box (border+background+title) and Text (styled wrapping text) renderables that render through the backend protocol.
+
+**Architecture:** Each renderable is a CLOS class with a `layout-node` slot for positioning. The `render` method dispatches through the backend protocol (draw-text, draw-border, draw-rect). Tests capture backend output via string streams.
+
+**Files created:**
+- `org/box-renderable.org` — Box class, render method (literate source)
+- `org/text-renderable.org` — Text class, render method, inline spans (literate source)
+- `org/dirty-tracking.org` — Dirty flag system (literate source)
+- `src/components/box.lisp` — tangled
+- `src/components/text.lisp` — tangled
+- `src/components/dirty.lisp` — tangled
+
+**Files modified:**
+- `cl-tui.asd` — add component modules
+- `docs/ROADMAP.org` — mark v0.2.0 tasks DONE
+
+## Task 1: Box renderable
+
+**Objective:** Box class that draws borders, fills backgrounds, and renders titles.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `org/box-renderable.org`
+- Create: `src/components/box.lisp` (extracted)
+- Modify: `cl-tui.asd` — add components module
+
+**Box class:**
+```lisp
+(defclass box ()
+  ((layout-node :initarg :layout-node :accessor box-layout-node)
+   (border-style :initform :single :initarg :border-style :accessor box-border-style)
+   (title :initform nil :initarg :title :accessor box-title)
+   (title-align :initform :left :initarg :title-align :accessor box-title-align)
+   (fg :initform nil :initarg :fg :accessor box-fg)
+   (bg :initform nil :initarg :bg :accessor box-bg)))
+```
+
+**render-box method:**
+Renders at computed layout position using backend's draw-border, draw-rect, draw-text.
+Delegates to the backend — no escape sequences directly.
+
+**Tests:**
+- Create box with border, verify draw-border was called with correct params
+- Create box with title, verify title positioning
+- Create box with background fill
+- Edge cases: box with 0 width/height, no border style, very long title
+
+## Task 2: Text renderable
+
+**Objective:** Text class that renders strings at layout position with word-wrap.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `org/text-renderable.org`
+- Create: `src/components/text.lisp` (extracted)
+
+**Text class:**
+```lisp
+(defclass text ()
+  ((layout-node :initarg :layout-node :accessor text-layout-node)
+   (content :initarg :content :accessor text-content)
+   (fg :initform nil :initarg :fg :accessor text-fg)
+   (bg :initform nil :initarg :bg :accessor text-bg)
+   (wrap-mode :initform :word :initarg :wrap-mode :accessor text-wrap-mode)
+   (spans :initform nil :initarg :spans :accessor text-spans)))
+```
+
+**render-text method:**
+1. Get layout position (x, y, width, height)
+2. If wrap-mode is :none, truncate to width
+3. If wrap-mode is :word, word-wrap (break on whitespace)
+4. Draw each line via backend's draw-text
+5. Apply span attributes (bold, italic, etc.) per segment
+
+**Inline spans:**
+```lisp
+(defclass span ()
+  ((text :initarg :text :accessor span-text)
+   (bold :initform nil :initarg :bold :accessor span-bold)
+   (italic :initform nil :initarg :italic :accessor span-italic)
+   (underline :initform nil :initarg :underline :accessor span-underline)))
+```
+
+**Tests:**
+- Text renders string at correct position
+- Word-wrap breaks at word boundaries
+- Truncation mode clips at width
+- Spans apply style attributes per segment
+- Empty string rendering
+- Single character
+- String shorter than width (no wrapping needed)
+
+## Task 3: Dirty tracking
+
+**Objective:** Lightweight dirty-flag system for incremental rendering.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `org/dirty-tracking.org`
+- Create: `src/components/dirty.lisp` (extracted)
+
+```lisp
+(defgeneric mark-dirty (component))
+(defgeneric dirty-p (component))
+(defgeneric mark-clean (component))
+```
+
+Default methods mark/check a `dirty` slot on the component. When implemented:
+- `mark-dirty` — sets dirty flag, propagates to parent
+- `dirty-p` — returns T if component needs re-render
+- `mark-clean` — clears dirty flag after render
+
+**Tests:**
+- New component is dirty (default)
+- mark-clean clears dirty flag
+- dirty-p returns nil after mark-clean
+- mark-dirty sets dirty flag again
+
+## Task 4: Wire into ASDF + update roadmap
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `cl-tui.asd` — add `:module "components"` to both main and test systems
+- Modify: `docs/ROADMAP.org` — mark v0.2.0 tasks DONE
+
+**Run full test suite:**
+All 72 existing tests + new component tests: 100% GREEN.

+
+* Box Renderable
+
+The Box renderable draws a bordered rectangle with optional title and background
+fill. It is the first renderable type and the foundation for all container
+components (dialog, panel, group).
+
+A Box has a =layout-node= slot for positioning via the layout engine. Its
+=render-box= method dispatches through the backend protocol.
+
+** Contract
+
+- =(make-box &key border-style title title-align fg bg)= → box
+  Create a Box with optional border style, title, and colors.
+
+- =(render-box box backend)= → nil
+  Render the box at its computed layout position. Draws background fill,
+  border, and title if configured.
+
+- =(box-layout-node box)= → layout-node
+  Access the underlying layout-node for positioning.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] v0.2.0: Text renderable with word-wrap and inline spans

- Text class with content, fg/bg, wrap-mode (:word or :none)
- Span class for inline styled segments (bold, italic, etc.)
- render-text dispatches through backend's draw-text
- word-wrap function splits text at word boundaries
- split-string utility for whitespace tokenization
- 9 new tests: creation, content, empty, truncation, word-wrap,
  single-word, span creation, span storage
- modern-backend now accepts :output-stream
- ASDF updated with text component
- 28 total component tests, 100% GREEN

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] review fixes: word-wrap hard-break, title-align, ASDF
 fix, edge cases
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes from subagent review:
- Word-wrap now hard-breaks words exceeding max-width (was returning
  un-truncated overflow strings)
- Box zero-size guard now catches any zero/single dimension (was only
  catching both zero together)
- Title-align now respected (:left/:center/:right) with proper positioning
- render-text declares (ignore spans) to suppress unused warning
- ASDF test-op fixed: run! → run-tests (symbol didn't exist)
- New test: box-single-column (width=1 renders nothing)
- Tightened word-wrap test: verifies hard-break produces both chunks
- Simplified word-wrap with cond instead of nested if/progn (avoided
  recurring paren-balance issue)
