Ports apprt/embedded.zig, main_c.zig and config/CApi.zig + c_get.zig as
crates/ghostty-lib (cdylib/staticlib/rlib `libghostty`), exporting every
function of the unchanged include/ghostty.h - the ABI Ghostty's Swift
macOS/iOS app links against. The embedded runtime implements the
runtime traits over the host's C callbacks, so the real core drives it.
- ghostty-core selects the renderer per target: Metal on Apple (surface
NSView/UIView via RtSurface::platform_view), OpenGL elsewhere.
- ghostty_config_get follows Zig's c_get rules via a CValue type (143
supported keys, checked against the Zig field types).
- The inspector C API is complete; its Metal backend replaces ImGui's
Metal renderer and has not run.
Verification: generated C ABI probe (sizeof/alignof/offsetof of every
struct/union, 755 enum values, every function linked, nm exports, headers
byte-identical to upstream); a C host on Linux covering init, CLI
actions, config, app, keys, focus and color scheme; an opt-in
test-platform feature creating real surfaces on Linux with headless EGL
and a pty (13 tests). Apple targets are clippy-clean but not run; the
Swift app has not been built against it.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-lib (and --features test-platform)
- cargo clippy --target aarch64-apple-darwin -p ghostty-lib (cross env
in docs/rewrite/notes/macos-M1.md)
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
Adds crates/ghostty-core/tests/e2e_*.rs: 81 tests that drive the real
core Surface, termio, pty and child processes through a fake runtime
(recording apprt actions, in-memory clipboard) with a headless renderer
(ghostty-renderer/src/headless.rs). They cover keys (legacy, DECCKM,
kitty, modifyOtherKeys), keybinding actions and sequences, mouse
selection/reporting/scrolling/links, clipboard incl. OSC 52 and paste
safety, resize, focus, titles/pwd/bell/notifications/progress, child
exit, and IME preedit.
Fixes for issues found by the tests and by the Codex audit
(docs/rewrite/notes/review-core-codex.md, all 9 items):
- replacing a selection with copy-on-select panicked (stale tracked
handles); global new_window no longer inherits a parent; the child
environment uses the runtime's env wholesale so GTK's removals stick;
Flatpak host resources path; locale recovery (ensureLocale) in
apprt-gtk before GTK init and for CLI actions; failed screen-file
opens propagate errors; OSC 52 base64 rules, CSI/ESC binding length
limits and GHOSTTY_LOG parsing match Zig.
- Also includes V2's termio cleanups (tmux viewer wiring in the stream
handler, Pty slave semantics docs, shared cgroup wait loop).
apprt-gtk gains a debug input replay hook (GHOSTTY_DEBUG_INPUT_SCRIPT)
exercising the real GTK key path. With it, the real app was verified on
Wayland: typing and output, new tab, splits, select-all/copy/paste and
font size all work (docs/rewrite/notes/verification-V1.md). Not yet
exercised at GTK level: mouse, real IM-context IME, clipboard dialogs.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (2983 passed)
- cargo test -p ghostty-core --tests (81 e2e tests)
