Ports ZIG/src/font/{Metrics,Atlas,Glyph}.zig and the whole sprite font
(font/sprite/**): box drawing, block elements, braille, branch/git
graph symbols, geometric shapes, powerline, and the symbols for legacy
computing (+ supplement, incl. the octants table).
Ghostty draws sprites with z2d; we use tiny-skia for path coverage,
composited onto an alpha8 canvas, while following the Zig geometry
(positions, thickness, rounding). Comptime discovery of draw functions
is replaced by explicit, overlap-checked codepoint range tables.
Upstream reference sheets are vendored in testdata/ and compared with a
tolerance: braille and U+1CD00 are pixel-identical; other sheets differ
only in antialiasing on thin diagonals/curves. Review renders are written
to target/sprite_sheets/.
The crate temporarily drops its config/unicode/terminal deps until the
rest of the font engine is ported (Phase 3).
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-font (49 tests incl. reference sheet comparison)
- inspect target/sprite_sheets/review-all-18x36.png
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
