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)
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.

Ports ZIG/src/apprt/{action,structs,surface,ipc,runtime}.zig into
ghostty-apprt: the Action enum performed by the core on the app runtime
(all 65 variants with docs), Target<S> generic over the runtime's
surface handle, clipboard/size/scale/selection structs, the core->surface
Message enum with a Mailbox over an AppMailbox trait, and IPC action
types for +new-window.
Owned Strings and Arc<Config> replace Zig's borrowed slices/pointers.
Scrollbar and RendererHealth are local stand-ins until core integration.
The embedded C API and browser runtime are out of scope.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-apprt (16 tests)
