Resolves the 9 gap groups in docs/rewrite/notes/review-rv7-codex.md and
audits every string-typed config field against its consumers
(field -> consumers -> decode status table in final-Z9.md):
- Windows EnvMap keys use a port of Zig's nls.zig uppercase table
(upcaseW); Windows locale init follows Zig's chain (setlocale +
_putenv_s); malformed WTF-8 now fails process launch conversions like
Zig instead of substituting U+FFFD; kitty file paths convert WTF-8.
- bash --rcfile/--init-file, configured TERM and inherited GTK LANG
keep their original bytes.
- C API clipboard completion and ghostty_surface_binding_action take
bytes; complete_clipboard_request is byte-typed through the core.
- text:/csi:/esc: bindings, enquiry-response, input = path:, embedded
initial_input, search needles, titles, link regexes, clipboard
codepoint map, command palette text and GTK font/namespace values
decode the escape encoding before use.
Remaining by design: D-Bus a{ss} values and +new-window arguments are
UTF-8 by D-Bus type. C API key/preedit text follows separately.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace
- just check-macos (both), just check-windows, just check-wasm
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
This is the integration step that turns the ported crates into a working
terminal: `cargo run` now opens a GTK window running the user's shell.
ghostty-core ports App.zig, Surface.zig (split into keyboard, mouse,
binding, clipboard and config submodules), surface_mouse.zig and
global.zig, and implements the runtime traits. perform_binding_action
handles every binding action.
Cross-crate integration:
- The core<->runtime traits (CoreApp, CoreSurface, RtApp, RtSurface,
Waker) move from apprt-gtk into ghostty_apprt::runtime_api so the core
stays runtime-agnostic; Scrollbar/RendererHealth stand-ins are replaced
by the real terminal/renderer types.
- termio now uses ghostty_renderer::state::{State, SharedState}; the
renderer calls kitty_update; image-storage-limit is applied at init
and on config change.
- The search thread locks the terminal through a TerminalLock trait so
it can share the render state mutex; termio's Wakeup gained a hook to
wake the renderer thread.
- apprt-gtk: GL proc addresses are resolved through libepoxy's
epoxy_glFoo pointer variables (plain glFoo symbols resolved to null),
default DPI fixed to 96, libadwaita version read without GTK init so
--version works headless.
The root binary dispatches +actions to ghostty-cli (list-fonts,
show-face and new-window are now wired) and otherwise runs the GTK app
with the real core.
Verified at runtime on Wayland and X11: shell prompt and colored output
render, child exit closes the window cleanly. Not yet verified: keyboard
and mouse input, clipboard, IME, tabs and splits (no key injection was
possible in this environment). GHOSTTY_DEBUG_SCREENSHOT=<png> dumps the
renderer's last frame for headless checks.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (2890 passed)

cargo run
Ports ZIG/src/apprt/gtk into ghostty-apprt-gtk: every GObject class
(application, window, tab, split tree, surface + scrolled window,
child-exited banner, search/key-state/resize overlays, command palette,
global shortcuts, all dialogs, config wrapper) as glib subclasses with
the same GType names, properties, signals and template children; GDK
key translation; X11 and Wayland window-protocol helpers (blur, CSD,
quick terminal via gtk4-layer-shell); single-instance D-Bus IPC;
gsettings; cgroup scope creation.
build.rs compiles Ghostty's blueprints with blueprint-compiler and
bundles UI, CSS and icons into a gresource, as Ghostty's build does.
The core is not ported yet, so the crate defines the boundary it needs
in src/core.rs (CoreApp, CoreSurface, RtApp, RtSurface, Waker); the
spec is in docs/rewrite/notes/ghostty-apprt-gtk.md. ghostty-core will
implement these traits (the crate no longer depends on core to avoid a
cycle). examples/demo.rs runs the app with a dummy core that clears the
GLArea; it launches on Wayland without GTK criticals.
Stubs/open items: toggle_visibility, float_window, secure_input and
close_all_windows return false; inspector is a no-op; X11/Wayland
protocol code is untested against real compositors; gtk4-rs doesn't
expose the GLArea framebuffer id, so the renderer must query it.
Also registers ghostty-apprt and ghostty-cli in workspace.dependencies.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-apprt-gtk (36 tests)
- DEMO_QUIT_AFTER_MS=3000 cargo run -p ghostty-apprt-gtk --example demo
