Hermes d63ba69fb7 v1.0.0 review fixes: dialog, textarea, scrollbox, demo, ASDF, layout
Fixes from subagent code review (15 findings):

CRITICAL runtime bugs:
- dialog.lisp: backend-write calls -> draw-rect/draw-text (wrong arg count)
- dialog.lisp: removed undefined render-component call
- dialog.lisp: toast render backend-write -> draw-text

MAJOR data loss / silent failures:
- textarea.lisp: undo overflow now drops oldest entry instead of wiping stack
- scrollbox.lisp: :background-element -> :bright-black (theme keyword never resolved)

ASDF completeness:
- modern-tests.lisp wired as component and test-op suite
- layout tests added to test-op suite list
- markdown suite lookup now uses keyword (was looking up wrong string)
- test runner updated to match

API cleanup:
- container-package: removed duplicate render export
- select-package: removed duplicate render export
- markdown.lisp: #\Escape -> #\Esc for consistency
- textarea.lisp: removed duplicate %split-string defn

Demo robustness:
- Added unwind-protect for guaranteed terminal cleanup
- Uses make-modern-backend constructor
- Uses set-raw-mode/restore-terminal-state

Layout:
- normalize-box handles partial padding specs (was returning all zeros)

Pure CL terminal UI framework. No ncurses, no FFI, no external dependencies.

```lisp (ql:quickload :cl-tty) ```

## Quick start

```lisp ;; Create a modern terminal backend (let ((backend (make-instance 'cl-tty.backend:modern-backend))) (cl-tty.backend:initialize-backend backend) ;; Backend is ready — write text, draw boxes, handle input (cl-tty.backend:shutdown-backend backend)) ```

## Architecture

Two backends, one protocol:

  • modern-backend — truecolor 24-bit, OSC 8 hyperlinks, DECICM sync, SGR mouse, kitty keyboard, bold/italic/underline, box-drawing chars
  • simple-backend — ASCII art, no color, universal compatibility

Everything is pure escape sequences (no curses, no terminfo, no FFI).

## Components

Component What it does Version
Box Bordered container with background, title v0.2.0
Text Styled text with word-wrap, spans v0.2.0
ScrollBox Scrollable viewport with scrollbars v0.6.0
TabBar Horizontal tab navigation v0.6.0
Select Dropdown with fuzzy filter, category headers v0.7.0
TextInput Single-line text input with readline keybindings v0.5.0
TextArea Multi-line input with undo/redo, selection v0.5.0
Markdown Renders markdown with syntax highlighting + diffs v0.8.0
Dialog Modal overlays with stack management v0.9.0
Toast Transient notifications (info/success/warning/error) v0.9.0
Mouse Event handlers, hit-testing, text selection v0.10.0
Slot Plugin system — named slots for extensible UI v0.11.0

## Backend features

Feature modern simple
Truecolor (24-bit) Yes No
Bold/italic Yes No
OSC 8 hyperlinks Yes No
DECICM sync Yes No
SGR mouse Yes No
Kitty keyboard Yes No
Box drawing chars Unicode ASCII
Pipe-safe No Yes

## Development

```bash

sbcl script run-all-tests.lisp

emacs batch eval "(progn (require 'org) (find-file \"org/FILE.org\") (org-babel-tangle) (kill-buffer))" ```

Literate programming: `.org` files in `org/` are the source of truth. `.lisp` files are generated by tangling.
