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)
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
Integration pass over the terminal core (Codex/gpt-6-astra, reviewed):
- Screen now owns the real kitty ImageStorage; new/reset/teardown,
erase-display deletes and alternate-screen limit inheritance hook in
where Zig does, and Terminal implements ExecTerminal so kitty APC
commands execute against it. Exec tests use a real Terminal.
- The PageList gains the APIs Screen/Terminal needed (pin iterators,
cross-page row/partial-row clone, string allocator probing, dedup
before allocating hyperlinks, Top viewport fixup after erase, append_
grapheme no longer marking rows dirty), and the Screen/Terminal
workarounds for their absence are removed so the code mirrors Zig.
Public signatures are unchanged; downstream crates build as before.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-terminal (1252 passed, 0 ignored)
- cargo clippy -p ghostty-terminal --all-targets -- -D warnings
Ports ZIG/src/terminal/kitty/graphics_*.zig:
- image loading for direct, file, temp-file and shared-memory
transmissions (rustix::shm, no unsafe), chunking, zlib and PNG decode
- image storage with placements (incl. virtual) tracked by PageList pins,
all delete modes, byte-limit eviction and dirty tracking
- unicode placeholder decoding and placement iteration
- command execution, generic over an ExecTerminal trait
Deviations: storage methods take the PageList explicitly; evicted or
replaced placements now release their tracked pins (Zig leaks them);
file transmissions with S= truncate per the kitty spec. Zig quirks kept
for parity: delete-range matches all placements, eviction stops only
after freeing strictly more than requested, set_limit(0) resets.
Not yet wired: Screen still holds the KittyImages placeholder, so
Terminal does not implement ExecTerminal; integration steps are in
docs/rewrite/notes/ghostty-terminal-kitty.md.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-terminal (66 kitty tests; all Zig tests ported)
