screen_file_contents_and_write occasionally failed with NotFound when
run in parallel with screen_temp_file_keeps_non_utf8_path_bytes: that
test sets TMPDIR to a short-lived directory via temp_env, and
std::env::temp_dir() evaluated outside temp_env's lock could resolve
into it. The temp-file section now runs under temp_env's lock with
TMPDIR unset. 25 consecutive runs of the core lib tests pass.
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
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.

Resolves the 13 rows still partial in docs/rewrite/notes/review-rv4-
codex.md (details in final-Z5.md):
- Escaped config strings are decoded to raw bytes at every OS boundary:
Flatpak cwd/argv to D-Bus, screen-file paths, the default config
template, GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR/TERMINFO/shell integration/
bindtextdomain consumers, custom shader loading, list-themes hyperlinks.
- osbytes escapes literal U+FDD0 on non-Unix too (bijective everywhere);
the GTK paste dialog only decodes text that was actually encoded.
- shadertoy: whole-array uses of iChannelTime rebuild a plain float[4]
from the std140-padded members (naga-validated, MSL offsets checked).
- libghostty-vt: the OSC parser holds caller-allocated storage inline
and command payloads borrow from it, so ghostty_osc_end performs no
global allocations (verified from Rust and C).
- crash: aarch64 Linux minidump context fixed; macOS fatal signals record
siginfo, registers and a fault-safe stack walk.
- tripwire: selectionString map allocation-failure cleanup test ported.
- libghostty-vt emits the versioned soname libghostty-vt.so.0 at build
time (no patchelf needed at install).
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (3342 passed)
- just check-macos; just check-macos x86_64-apple-darwin;
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`.

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)
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.
