Escaped config strings (ghostty_os::osbytes) kept reaching OS
boundaries undecoded, and decoding was occasionally applied to plain
text. The root cause was that both were plain `String`s. Now:
- `EncodedOs` is a newtype (no Display/AsRef<Path>) that decodes only
via to_os/to_path/to_bytes/to_wide; plain text enters via
from_plain_text. OS helpers (env, home, xdg, passwd, resources dir,
path expansion), config::Path, WorkingDirectory, theme/file_load/edit
paths, terminal pwd, OpenUrl/Pwd actions and termio cwd use it, so the
compiler forces decoding at every boundary. os::open takes &OsStr.
Config output is unchanged.
Fixes all rows of docs/rewrite/notes/review-rv5-codex.md (final-Z7.md):
screen-file copy; regex/OSC 8 URLs no longer decoded (regression);
lossless Windows WTF-8/WTF-16 for args, env and CreateProcessW; Windows
resources dir/TERMINFO; color OSC request lists and X11 color lookup no
longer allocate globally (C zero-allocation test extended); macOS Mach
handler resumes all threads before KERN_FAILURE (hang regression) and
SIGABRT minidumps go through the exception thread; plus open-config,
background images, crash dir, ssh cache, exe dir/PATH, fontconfig
filenames, file links, kitty TMPDIR, .hushlogin and benchmark paths.
The typing also surfaced and fixed gtk-custom-css, bell audio, bash
HISTFILE, OSC 52 writes and the C config getters.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (3376 passed)
- just check-macos (both), just check-windows, just check-wasm
- diff <(ghostty-rs +show-config --default --docs) \
<(ghostty +show-config --default --docs)
Resolves the 13 rows still partial in docs/rewrite/notes/review-rv4-
codex.md (details in final-Z5.md):
- Escaped config strings are decoded to raw bytes at every OS boundary:
Flatpak cwd/argv to D-Bus, screen-file paths, the default config
template, GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR/TERMINFO/shell integration/
bindtextdomain consumers, custom shader loading, list-themes hyperlinks.
- osbytes escapes literal U+FDD0 on non-Unix too (bijective everywhere);
the GTK paste dialog only decodes text that was actually encoded.
- shadertoy: whole-array uses of iChannelTime rebuild a plain float[4]
from the std140-padded members (naga-validated, MSL offsets checked).
- libghostty-vt: the OSC parser holds caller-allocated storage inline
and command payloads borrow from it, so ghostty_osc_end performs no
global allocations (verified from Rust and C).
- crash: aarch64 Linux minidump context fixed; macOS fatal signals record
siginfo, registers and a fault-safe stack walk.
- tripwire: selectionString map allocation-failure cleanup test ported.
- libghostty-vt emits the versioned soname libghostty-vt.so.0 at build
time (no patchelf needed at install).
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (3342 passed)
- just check-macos; just check-macos x86_64-apple-darwin;
just check-windows; just check-wasm
- cargo check --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu -p ghostty-crash
rustfmt.toml sets group_imports, imports_granularity and imports_layout,
which are nightly-only; agents formatted with stable rustfmt, which
ignored them. This is a formatting-only pass with `cargo +nightly fmt`.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo test --workspace
Ports ZIG/src/terminal/stream.zig: the Stream feeds bytes through the
UTF-8 decoder and parser and dispatches every CSI/ESC/OSC/DCS/APC and
C0/C1 control to a Handler as a high-level Action (all 95 Zig
variants). Zig's comptime handler interface becomes a Handler trait with
an associated error type, a required vt() and an optional vt_raw() hook.
Performance: next_slice() processes 4 KiB chunks, finds ESC with memchr
and decodes printable runs in bulk (scalar port of ZIG/src/simd's
index_of / utf8_decode_until_control_seq), plus the CSI parameter fast
path.
Terminals must construct the stream with Stream::new_alloc so the OSC
parser accepts allocating commands (colors, OSC 133), as in Zig.
Minor differences: after a stray UTF-8 byte the rest of the chunk
returns to the fast path, and a spurious Zig warning after CSI 2/5 W is
dropped.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-vt (448 passed; 37/38 stream tests ported,
the skipped one only exercises the C ABI)
