Resolves the 7 gap groups in docs/rewrite/notes/review-rv6-codex.md
(final-Z8.md):
- crash (macOS): request_abort_dump returns false on mach_msg receive
timeout/error so the signal-path fallback runs; EXC_SOFT_SIGNAL keeps
the signal number in the minidump exception info.
- Default SHELL read as an OS string and stored in encoded command form.
- macOS executable search works on raw PATH bytes; the default path is
used only when PATH is unset.
- Windows: config env overrides are decoded; EnvMap compares keys as
WTF-16 units with per-unit Unicode simple uppercasing (no lossy
conversion, distinct lone-surrogate keys stay distinct).
- +show-config writes original bytes for encoded OS data, so export +
reload round-trips; UTF-8 configs are byte-identical as before.
- Zig's ensureLocale chain lives in ghostty-os for all Unix targets and
is used by both the GTK app and the C API init.
Also makes the quick-terminal GTK replay test independent of compositor
focus: GTK's is-active is read-only, so when niri actually focuses the
layer surface the simulated focus-out cannot drive autohide and that
assertion is skipped (the production logic is unchanged and matches Zig).
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (3390 passed, incl. tests/gtk_replay.rs)
- just check-macos (both), just check-windows, just check-wasm
Escaped config strings (ghostty_os::osbytes) kept reaching OS
boundaries undecoded, and decoding was occasionally applied to plain
text. The root cause was that both were plain `String`s. Now:
- `EncodedOs` is a newtype (no Display/AsRef<Path>) that decodes only
via to_os/to_path/to_bytes/to_wide; plain text enters via
from_plain_text. OS helpers (env, home, xdg, passwd, resources dir,
path expansion), config::Path, WorkingDirectory, theme/file_load/edit
paths, terminal pwd, OpenUrl/Pwd actions and termio cwd use it, so the
compiler forces decoding at every boundary. os::open takes &OsStr.
Config output is unchanged.
Fixes all rows of docs/rewrite/notes/review-rv5-codex.md (final-Z7.md):
screen-file copy; regex/OSC 8 URLs no longer decoded (regression);
lossless Windows WTF-8/WTF-16 for args, env and CreateProcessW; Windows
resources dir/TERMINFO; color OSC request lists and X11 color lookup no
longer allocate globally (C zero-allocation test extended); macOS Mach
handler resumes all threads before KERN_FAILURE (hang regression) and
SIGABRT minidumps go through the exception thread; plus open-config,
background images, crash dir, ssh cache, exe dir/PATH, fontconfig
filenames, file links, kitty TMPDIR, .hushlogin and benchmark paths.
The typing also surfaced and fixed gtk-custom-css, bell audio, bash
HISTFILE, OSC 52 writes and the C config getters.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (3376 passed)
- just check-macos (both), just check-windows, just check-wasm
- diff <(ghostty-rs +show-config --default --docs) \
<(ghostty +show-config --default --docs)
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
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)
Ports the remainder of ZIG/src/termio: Options, backend, message,
mailbox, Termio, Thread, Exec and stream_handler.
Threading model (replacing libxev): the IO thread owns Termio and runs a
single poll(2) loop over the mailbox eventfd, a stop eventfd, the child
pidfd and pty POLLOUT, driving Ghostty's timers (25 ms resize
coalescing, 1 s synchronized-output, 15 ms selection scroll, 200 ms
termios polling). A separate pty read thread locks the shared renderer
state and feeds the terminal. Renderer and surface interaction go
through RendererMailbox/SurfaceMailbox traits.
The stream handler answers all queries (DA, DSR, XTVERSION, DECRQM,
OSC color queries, XTGETTCAP, DECRQSS, ...) and forwards titles, pwd,
OSC 52, notifications, progress and bell as surface messages. Zig
unlocks the renderer mutex when a mailbox is full; here overflow goes to
an ordered outbox flushed after the locks drop.
IO1's local stand-ins are replaced with the real config types.
Open: RendererState lives in termio for now (renderer State.zig is
being ported); kitty graphics replies and tmux viewer are not hooked up;
wait-after-command lives in Surface (core); Flatpak stop path needs a
ghostty-os change.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-termio (102 unit + 21 end-to-end tests on a
real pty, incl. backpressure, DA1 replies, resize coalescing, exits)
Ports the parts of Ghostty's IO layer that don't depend on the terminal:
- pty.zig: pty pair, window size, mode, child-side setsid/TIOCSCTTY;
master is CLOEXEC with IUTF8 set
- Command.zig: fork/execvpe with Ghostty's exact child setup (stdio
dup2, best-effort chdir, rlimit restore, os/runtime pre-exec hooks,
cgroup handling) and exit status decoding
- shell_integration.zig for bash/zsh/fish/elvish/nushell plus feature
flags; scripts copied verbatim to resources/shell-integration/
- terminfo generator for xterm-ghostty, byte-identical to Zig's encode
output (golden file produced with the real Zig code)
This crate opts into unsafe_code = "deny" (fork/exec need it) with
allow + SAFETY comments on minimal items.
Integration left: config-derived option types are local stand-ins;
cgroup D-Bus scope creation is a closure hook; Exec/Termio/Thread/
stream_handler wait for ghostty-terminal. Pty now closes both fds on
drop (Zig never auto-closed the slave) - to re-check when wiring Exec.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-termio (52 tests, incl. real pty spawn test
expecting "hi\r\n31 97\r\n" from `echo hi; stty size`)
