Removed dependency on (st :cursor-line) and (st :cursor-col) state.
position-cursor now does its own word-wrap and accum tracking to
determine which wrapped line and column the cursor is on. This makes
it independent of view-input's rendering state.
view-input now stores cursor-line and cursor-col in state after
word-wrapping. position-cursor uses these to place the cursor on
the correct wrapped line, instead of the hardcoded row (- h 6)
which always put the cursor on the first line.
Phase 1 of cl-tty abstraction: remove 5 dead functions (word-wrap,
char-width, parse-markdown-spans, parse-markdown-blocks, render-styled,
syntax-highlight) and their tests. Switch 2 remaining word-wrap calls
to cl-tty.box:word-wrap.
- ROADMAP: consolidate all TUI work under v0.8.0 (removed premature
v0.9.0/v0.10.x labels), restored original v0.9.0 eval harness plan
- channel-tui-view.org: Emacs-style reverse-video cursor (swap fg/bg
instead of drawing █), hint bar now shows F:focus/MCP:count on left
and token gauge + keybindings on right, sidebar reorganized to show
GATE TRACE, RULES + BLOCK COUNT, COST, FILES panels
- channel-tui-main.org: command palette selection now uses reverse-video
highlight (bg-input fg on input-fg bg, matching cursor style), fixed
cond order so sel-p is checked before cat (all items had :category
making sel-p unreachable), added session-cost extraction from daemon
- passepartout: export COLORTERM=truecolor for modern backend detection
Replaced reverse-video cursor with a solid █ block in :input-prompt
color (amber). Drawn at the insertion point every frame from redraw
and main loop. finish-output ensures the cursor escape reaches the
terminal immediately.
Replaced the software blinking █ cursor with a reverse-video cursor
that swaps foreground and background colors at the insertion point.
Solid at all times — no blink logic, no state tracking, no flicker.
- Removed duplicate cursor-visible-p functions
- Removed software cursor draw from view-input
- Removed terminal cursor style/show from initialize-backend
- position-cursor draws character at cursor with :bg fg + :input-fg bg
position-cursor now called at end of redraw so the cursor appears
on the very first frame and after every keypress without a 100ms
delay. Also still called from main loop between sleep for blinking.
position-cursor runs every frame from main loop (after sleep 0.1),
drawing █ when cursor-visible-p returns T, space when NIL.
This creates a true 2Hz blink that toggles independently of keypresses.
Terminal cursor also set to blinking block as fallback.
Replaced software cursor (draw-text █ every frame) with native terminal
cursor (position-cursor using cursor-move + cursor-style). Terminal handles
blinking natively at 500ms — no redraw needed for cursor updates.
- position-cursor: computed input insertion point from state, calls
cursor-move + cursor-style (:block :blink t) + cursor-show.
- Called from main loop every frame after (sleep 0.1), outside
redraw's begin-sync/end-sync. No flicker.
view-input word-wraps input at prompt-w, expanding the grey panel
upward as needed. Uses software cursor (█) in :input-fg blinking
at 2Hz via get-internal-real-time.
view-chat max-lines adapts to variable panel height via input-panel-top.
Removed terminal cursor (position-cursor, cursor-show, cursor-style).
Dialog minibuffer top now computed from input-panel-top.
Clean implementation: spacer inserted in the rendering loop as an
(incf y) between message blocks, tracked in scroll-fitting loop
via spacer variable. No data structure changes.
Also: fixed premature let close in spacer binding, fixed view-input
closing paren count, and re-applied speaker alignment fixes lost in
revert.
- Theme: added :agent-border, :thinking-bg, :symbolic-border to all 13
presets with theme-load fallback for saved themes.
- Agent output now draws │ with :agent-border color (muted tan).
- Neuro-thinking (streaming): draw-rect at column 0 with :thinking-bg
(dark grey block) instead of a grey │ character. No border text.
- Gate traces: │ with :symbolic-border (was ╎ with :dim).
- Tool calls: │ with tool status color (was ╎).
- Removed > prompt prefix from input line.
- Added position-cursor function: blinking block cursor at insertion
point, called every frame from the main loop after sleep.
- redraw: always draws all three views (status/chat/input) when any
dirty flag is set. Dirty flags only gate frame rendering, not
which parts render. Fixes disappearing input/history.
- Added :bg-input to all 13 presets with #2e2e2e (dark) / #d4d4d4
(light-amber). theme-load fills missing keys from current preset
defaults for backward compatibility.
- Removed unused *sidebar-panels* defvar and obsolete contract docs.
- Renamed dim-bg → dim-fg (foreground color, not background).
- All draw-text calls in sidebar and dialog minibuffer now pass
explicit bg-panel, preventing background leaks.
- render-styled (markdown renderer) passes explicit (theme-color :bg).
- Fix h shadowing in view-chat scroll loop (h → mh).
- Theme: near-black (#0a0a0a) backgrounds, dark-grey panels (#141414),
warm amber (#fab283) accent only. New keys: :bg, :bg-panel, :bg-element,
:text-muted. All 13 presets updated.
- Messages: No background fills (sit on global black). User messages get
amber left border (│). Agent response has no border (invisible).
Streaming agent messages get grey left border. Gate traces and tool
calls use grey ╎ prefix. No label lines, no time separators.
- Sidebar: :sidebar-mode with :auto/:visible/:hidden. Auto-shows at >120
cols (opencode-style). Width 42 with version + connection dot footer.
- Input: 2-char hpad on each side. Grey panel (2 rows: separator +
prompt). Hint right-aligned at bottom on black.
- Status bar: empty (clean black line).
- cl-tty backend: draw-text, draw-rect, draw-link, draw-border now use
\e[22;23;24;25;27m (style-only reset) instead of \e[0m (full reset),
preserving foreground/background across draw calls.
- Fix: all sidebar text draws pass explicit bg-panel background.
- Fix: hint at h-1 passes explicit (theme-color :bg).
- Fix: sidebar bottom row uses draw-text (no \n) to prevent scroll at h-1.
passepartout script:
- Add (uiop:quit 0) after tui-main so SBCL exits on Ctrl+Q
- Remove exec to allow stty restore after sbcl subprocess
- Restore icanon echo ixon after TUI exits (terminal stuck raw)
channel-tui-view.org:
- Remove unused fb/h vars from test-sidebar-not-shown-narrow
- Add (declare (ignore w)) to render-styled
- Qualify theme-color as passepartout.channel-tui:theme-color
(render-styled is in :passepartout package)
- Remove dead :url clause from pick in parse-markdown-spans
(URLs handled by dedicated branch, not via pick)
- Update literate prose for all changes
- Added -ixon to stty so Ctrl+Q (XON byte) isn't swallowed by the
terminal driver and reaches the TUI as :CTRL-Q
- view-input now truncates the prompt (> prefix + visible text) to
chat-w - 2 characters, and the hint to chat-w characters, so
neither extends into the sidebar area
Added chat-w = w - sidebar_width calculation in view-status and
view-input, matching view-chat's existing approach. Also added
chat-w for the separator line drawing in tui-main. This prevents
the prompt, separator, hint, and status bar from extending into
the sidebar area when it's visible.
- Sidebar threshold lowered from 120 to 60 so it works on 83-col
terminals
- Agent response text is now word-wrapped through cl-tty.box:word-wrap
after markdown rendering, preventing text from bleeding past the
terminal edge
- Added chat-w = w - sidebar-width in view-chat for all width
calculations (word-wrap, padding, borders) so text doesn't
bleed into the sidebar area
- Changed Ctrl+B dirty flags from (list t t nil) to (list t t t)
so input view also redraws, fixing the toggle-not-turning-off issue
view-input drew prompt first (row h-3), then hint (row h-2),
leaving the cursor at end of the hint line after 'complete'.
Typed characters appeared there. Swapped order: hint first,
prompt last, so cursor ends at the > prompt.
- Changed all 50 org file :tangle targets from ../lisp/ to
~/.local/share/passepartout/lisp/ (XDG data dir)
- Removed 49 generated .lisp files from project lisp/ directory
- Removed tests/system-integration-tests.lisp (generated)
- Removed lisp/*.fasl (compiled, stale)
- Updated core-manifest.org to tangle .asd to XDG root
- Remapped quicklisp symlink: local-projects/passepartout → XDG
TUI fixes in channel-tui-main.org:
- Removed with-raw-terminal (stty raw breaks fd 0 reads in this SBCL)
- Use cat subprocess + pipe for keyboard input (via :input :interactive)
- Blocking read-char on pipe with with-timeout 0.1s for daemon processing
- Key events queued via drain-queue alongside daemon messages
- Full dialog key routing (Escape, Up/Down, Enter, filters, Backspace)
- SIGWINCH resize handling
- Post-handshake backend-size re-query
- Daemon version in status bar (was v0.5.0 hardcoded)
- Handshake version stored in state, no add-msg
- :daemon-version and :size-queried in state plist
- view-status uses draw-rect for background
- Test section gated with #+passepartout-tests
draw-rect has no method on raw arrays (only on framebuffer-backend,
simple-backend, modern-backend). Three calls in view-status, view-chat,
and view-sidebar passed the framebuffer array to draw-rect, causing
'no applicable method' crash on startup.
Replaced with (draw-text ... (make-string w #\Space) nil bg) which
fills the same area with background spaces.
Complete rewrite of the TUI with warm amber/gold color palette and
clean three-zone layout (chat top, input bottom, status very bottom).
1. Layout restructure: input at y=h-3, hint at y=h-2, status at y=h-1
2. Warm palette: 20-key amber/gold theme, 8 warm presets
3. Readline keybindings: Ctrl+A/E/U/W/K/Y/L/D/F/G in :global keymap
4. Chat messages: user boxes (┌─└─), agent headers, collapsible tools
5. Command palette: Ctrl+P top-centered overlay, warm colors
6. Sidebar: Ctrl+B toggle, right panel with focus/rules/context/MCP
7. Keybindings: :ctrl+x, :?, mouse wheel support
8. Search: existing /search with match highlighting
9. Help overlay: ? shows keybinding and command reference
- Add missing word-wrap function (was declared in contract but never defined)
- TUI now renders correctly: draw-text on framebuffer arrays works
- Daemon connection verified
- All three view functions (status, chat, input) call draw-text correctly
- Remove dead croatoan-to-tty-event keymap dispatch clause from on-key
- Replace all (st :key) with (getf *state* :key) and all
(setf (st :key) val) with (setf (getf *state* :key) val)
to avoid SBCL cross-file SETF expander issues (239 replacements)
- Fix redraw arity: called with 4 args but defined with 3
- TUI now loads, initializes, and connects to daemon successfully
- Replace numeric key code dispatch with cl-tty keyword events
- Replace Croatoan code-key/key-name normalization with direct keyword dispatch
- Update main loop to construct Ctrl-key keywords from cl-tty key-event modifiers
- Remove croatoan-to-tty-event compatibility shim and its test
- Remove duplicate Esc handling from main loop (now handled by on-key)
- Update all documentation contracts, prose, docstrings to remove Croatoan refs
- Remove :croatoan from package dependencies
- All event handling now goes through cl-tty keymaps or keyword dispatch
v0.8.0: Information Radiator now built on cl-tty v1.1.0. Minibuffer
uses cl-tty Dialog stack. New TODO items: conversation view (ScrollBox
+ Markdown), command palette (Select), sidebar (slot system), status bar
(Box + Theme), keybindings (keymap).
v0.9.1: Emacs is now an optional secondary client, not the primary
bridge. cl-tty is the primary TUI.
Bug fixes:
- Fix box() calls: set color-pair before box, pass ACS default chtype integers
- Fix markdown functions: move to passepartout.channel-tui package where
Croatoan is imported; use add-attributes/remove-attributes instead of
:bold/:underline kwargs to add-string; call theme-color in gate-trace-lines
to convert theme keys to Croatoan colors
- Fix sandbox: remove dex:get/dex:post from restricted symbols
(blocked neuro-provider from loading)
- Export *log-lock* from passepartout (was unbound in jailed skill packages)
- Fix configure: always deploy to XDG, skip cp when source==dest
- Fix bash crash handler format string (~~ escaping)
- Revert test reorder in 28 files (caused package leakage in skill loader)
Design cleanup:
- Extract tui-run-screen from tui-main for clean separation
- Remove inject-stimulus alias
- Merge *backend-registry* into *probabilistic-backends*
- Fix read-framed-message whitespace DoS (4096-iteration max)
- Add *read-eval* nil to dispatcher-approvals-process read-from-string
Search mode activated by /search <query>. State fields: :search-mode,
:search-query, :search-matches, :search-match-idx. Up/Down arrows
navigate between matches, Enter jumps to current match, Escape exits.
search-highlight wraps matching substrings in **bold** for markdown
rendering. View-chat shows search header bar with match count and
current position.
- channel-tui-state: 4 search state fields in init-state
- channel-tui-main: modified /search handler, search-mode key handlers
(Up/Down/Enter/Escape), 3 new tests (activate, escape, nav)
- channel-tui-view: search-highlight fn, search header bar,
highlighted content in count+render loops
- TUI Main: 97/98 (1 pre-existing flake) View: 29/29
resolve-hitl-panel marks the most recent panel message with
:panel-resolved (:approved or :denied) and writes back to
the message vector. View-chat renders resolved panels with
dimmed color instead of :hitl theme color.
/approve and /deny handlers call resolve-hitl-panel after
sending structured events to the daemon. Confirmation messages
now use checkmark/crossmark prefixes.
- channel-tui-main: resolve-hitl-panel fn, wired into handlers
- channel-tui-view: is-resolved check for panel dimming
- +2 tests: panel-after-approve, panel-after-deny
- TUI Main: 88/89 (1 pre-existing flake)
Gate trace lines rendered below each agent message in dim color.
Collapsed-gates state field for Tab toggle (default: visible).
Uses passepartout::gate-trace-lines for colored entries.
- channel-tui-view: view-chat renders gate-trace after message content
- channel-tui-state: :collapsed-gates field in init-state
- View tests: 29/29 (1 new state-field test)
char-width: contract 5, 4 tests (6 assertions), 100% pass
ASCII=1, CJK/Hangul/Kana/halfwidth=2, combining marks=0, tab=8
Pure Lisp, ~25 lines, no deps. Used by word-wrap for unicode.
status bar: contract 6, timestamp right-aligned at (- w 12)
Fixes overlap where focus map and timestamp both drew at :y 2 :x 1
