Ports the macOS-specific Zig code behind cfg(target_os = "macos"):
- renderer: a GraphicsApi trait with generic::Renderer<G>; Metal backend
(all renderer/metal/* files, shaders.metal verbatim, runtime library
compile, IOSurface layer, CVDisplayLink), shadertoy -> MSL via naga;
OpenGL remains the backend elsewhere.
- font: CoreText face, shaper and discovery with build.rs backend
selection (coretext default; coretext-freetype / coretext-harfbuzz /
coretext-noshape features), no fontconfig/freetype/harfbuzz on Apple.
- input: KeymapDarwin via UCKeyTranslate, option-as-alt, mac keycodes.
- os: macos, mach, cf_release_thread, NSProcessInfo args and macOS
branches; config: macOS defaults, keybinds, Application Support paths.
- termio/core: login(1) wrapping, openpty/execvpe, Darwin child exit
handling, os_log logging.
Compile-checked for aarch64/x86_64-apple-darwin (clippy -D warnings
clean) using the cross setup in docs/rewrite/notes/macos-M1.md; cannot
run here. The embedded runtime/C API (embedded.zig) is the next step.
Also includes the cross-platform integration edits shared by the crash,
verification, Windows and macOS work (Cargo target-gating, thread
crash-context hooks, apprt-gtk surface/IME refactor, termio/os cfg
gates), a cfg fix so ghostty-config builds on wasm32, and an allow for
the intentional recursion in the crash overflow test.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (3224 passed)
- cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo check --target aarch64-apple-darwin -p ghostty-renderer (with
the documented cross env)
Ports main_wasm.zig as crates/ghostty-wasm (cdylib exporting the Zig
names: atlas_*, face_*, deferred_face_*, shaper_*, config_*), the
web_canvas font face and shaper (backend selected on wasm32), os/wasm
(logging, target, JS interop) and config/Wasm.zig.
C-library dependencies (freetype, harfbuzz, fontconfig, onig, gettext,
D-Bus, rustix) are target-gated. Like Zig's wasm build, link regex
search (StringMap::search_iterator) is unavailable without Oniguruma;
Collection/SharedGrid/harfbuzz are compiled out on wasm32. ghostty-os
switches from forbid to deny unsafe_code for the JS import blocks.
The JS import ABI is currently a documented handle-based interface with
a reference host (js/ghostty_host.js); aligning it with zig-js's exact
import names follows separately.
Test Plan:
- cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p ghostty-font \
-p ghostty-config -p ghostty-terminal -p ghostty-vt -p ghostty-wasm
- cargo test -p ghostty-wasm (node runs the module against a fake canvas)
Cleanup pass over items collected in docs/rewrite/INTEGRATION_TODO.md:
- OSC 133 printf-q / percent decoders live once in
ghostty_vt::string_encoding; ghostty-os re-exports them.
- CursorStyle and clipboard codepoint map entries have one definition
(ghostty-terminal); ghostty-config now depends on ghostty-terminal.
- ActionKey::docs() trailing blank lines fixed at the source; cli's
workaround removed (+list-actions --docs still byte-identical).
- x11_color exposes names in original case; cli no longer re-parses
rgb.txt.
- One cgroup scope wait loop (ghostty_os::cgroup::wait_for_scope).
- Flatpak passwd lookup implemented in ghostty-os via a local pty.
- +version shows the rustc version captured at build time.
Resources: dev builds find <workspace>/resources automatically (keeping
Ghostty's sentinel-file detection and GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR);
scripts/gen-terminfo.sh (just terminfo) regenerates the compiled
terminfo; `just install [PREFIX]` installs binary, share/ghostty,
terminfo, desktop/D-Bus/systemd/metainfo files and icons.
Test Plan:
- cargo test for vt, os, config, input, cli
- diff `+list-keybinds`, `+list-actions --docs`, `+show-config --default`
against /usr/bin/ghostty
Ports ZIG/src/os for Linux into ghostty-os: XDG dirs, home dir, hostname,
env/PATH helpers, passwd lookup (via nix), shell detection, resources
dir discovery, string encodings (printf-q, URL percent), systemd
sd_notify, i18n via gettextrs, xdg-open, desktop/cgroup/kernel info,
temp dirs, URI parsing (port of std.Uri incl. Ghostty's extra options),
and a zbus-based Flatpak HostCommand implementation.
The crate stays free of unsafe. Consequences, all tracked as
TODO(integration) in docs/rewrite/notes/ghostty-os.md:
- locale::ensure_locale is a no-op (setlocale/setenv are unsafe; GTK
calls setlocale itself); setenv/unsetenv are not exposed.
- passwd's Flatpak branch needs the termio pty and falls back to the
sandbox entry for now.
- FlatpakHostCommand's D-Bus path is untested (no portal here).
Intentional fix: a leading '@' in NOTIFY_SOCKET is treated as an
abstract socket.
macOS/Windows/WASM modules are out of scope.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-os (88 tests)
- cargo clippy -p ghostty-os --all-targets -- -D warnings
Start of the full Rust rewrite of Ghostty 1.3.1 (reference source in
../ghostty). Sets up a workspace whose crates mirror Ghostty's Zig modules
(vt, unicode, datastruct, os, input, config, terminal, font, renderer,
termio, core, apprt-gtk) so porting work can proceed in parallel per crate.
Also adds:
- docs/rewrite/{ARCHITECTURE,PLAN,STATUS,AGENT_GUIDE}.md: crate map, core
design decisions (safe Rust, slab-based PageList, logical capacity
accounting), phased plan, progress tracker, and porting rules.
- Workspace clippy config relaxing pedantic lints that are pure noise for
low-level terminal code (casts, long functions).
- Shared vt types needed by several work packages up front: kitty
keyboard flags (kitty/key.rs) and the CSI separator bitset (SepList).
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-vt (3 tests pass)
- cargo clippy -p ghostty-vt --all-targets -- -D warnings
