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)
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
Addresses the partial ports listed in
docs/rewrite/notes/review-completeness-codex.md (details in
docs/rewrite/notes/gaps-X2.md):
- Flatpak: the exit watcher no longer consumes the host command; a
shared FlatpakSignalHandle lets closing a surface still SIGHUP the
host process group.
- Child environment is byte-preserving end to end (ghostty_os::EnvMap
of OsStrings) and Snap paths are filtered like filterSnapPaths.
- argv handling no longer panics on non-UTF-8 arguments.
- URI percent-decoding keeps raw bytes; OSC 7 pwd is passed through
without lossy conversion.
- Keybinding comparison/hashing uses full Unicode case folding from a
table generated from CaseFolding.txt (Unicode 17.0.0).
- Link regexes set Oniguruma's whole-search retry limit through the new
minimal ghostty-onig crate (one SAFETY-commented FFI call).
- OSC 9 NUL-capacity check ordering matches Zig.
- Wayland registry binds/clears globals advertised after startup.
- Custom shaders may pass sampler2D to helper functions (naga adapter).
- +list-themes preview renders OSC 8 links, styled underlines and
follows color-scheme reports.
Also includes the inspector's integration edits in shared files
(renderer state hook, termio VT recording, core/apprt-gtk wiring), X1's
config/input/cli additions for completion generation, and a fix for a
race in the termio backpressure test (it wrote before `stty raw`
applied, so the cooked line discipline dropped bytes past MAX_CANON).
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace
- cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
Cleanup pass over items collected in docs/rewrite/INTEGRATION_TODO.md:
- OSC 133 printf-q / percent decoders live once in
ghostty_vt::string_encoding; ghostty-os re-exports them.
- CursorStyle and clipboard codepoint map entries have one definition
(ghostty-terminal); ghostty-config now depends on ghostty-terminal.
- ActionKey::docs() trailing blank lines fixed at the source; cli's
workaround removed (+list-actions --docs still byte-identical).
- x11_color exposes names in original case; cli no longer re-parses
rgb.txt.
- One cgroup scope wait loop (ghostty_os::cgroup::wait_for_scope).
- Flatpak passwd lookup implemented in ghostty-os via a local pty.
- +version shows the rustc version captured at build time.
Resources: dev builds find <workspace>/resources automatically (keeping
Ghostty's sentinel-file detection and GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR);
scripts/gen-terminfo.sh (just terminfo) regenerates the compiled
terminfo; `just install [PREFIX]` installs binary, share/ghostty,
terminfo, desktop/D-Bus/systemd/metainfo files and icons.
Test Plan:
- cargo test for vt, os, config, input, cli
- diff `+list-keybinds`, `+list-actions --docs`, `+show-config --default`
against /usr/bin/ghostty
Ports ZIG/src/input (except macOS keymaps) into ghostty-input:
- key, key_mods (incl. RemapSet), the physical keycode table
- key_encode: legacy, modifyOtherKeys and kitty keyboard protocol
encoders, function key tables
- Binding: all keybinding actions with their user-visible docs (for
+list-actions), triggers, sets with sequences, chains, leader keys and
key tables, and formatting back to config strings
- command palette defaults, mouse, paste safety checks, kitty helpers,
links, helpgen action docs
Deviations (docs/rewrite/notes/ghostty-input.md): Mods.super is named
super_; case folding uses char::to_lowercase plus Ghostty's special
cases instead of uucode tables; chain parents are trigger paths instead
of pointers; a Zig bug where chained leaves inside sequences corrupted the
shared prefix when formatting is fixed (covered by a test).
Integration left: building encode/paste Options from terminal modes,
and implementing the EntryFormatter trait in ghostty-config.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-input (220 tests; 8 macOS-only skipped)
- cargo clippy -p ghostty-input --all-targets -- -D warnings
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
