Intentional deviation from Ghostty 1.3.1 (DEVIANT_FIXES.md row 32).
Zig's os/open.zig runs `try collectOutput(...)` before `wait()`: when
collection fails (e.g. a stream exceeds the 50 KiB limit), the error
returns early and the child is never waited for, leaving a zombie
process for the lifetime of Ghostty.
The Rust opener thread now always waits for the child (the pipes are
already closed at that point) and still logs the collection error.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-os open
Intentional deviation from Ghostty 1.3.1 (DEVIANT_FIXES.md row 31).
Zig's apprt/gtk/ipc/new_window.zig:49-53 builds the D-Bus argument
array from raw bytes as a *trusted* GVariant; an argument with invalid
UTF-8 or an interior NUL violates GVariant's string invariants, which
GLib turns into a process abort. The Rust port mirrored this with an
explicit abort().
new_window now validates every argument before touching the bus: a bad
argument prints an error to stderr and returns Error::IpcFailed, so the
CLI exits with failure and nothing crashes. Valid arguments are sent
byte-identically to Ghostty.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-apprt-gtk new_window
(invalid_dbus_strings_are_rejected_without_abort)
Resolves the parity items of docs/rewrite/notes/review-rv15-codex.md
(final-Z18.md):
- os::open inherits stdin like Zig's Child.init, strips LD_LIBRARY_PATH
only in Snap builds (new `snap` cargo feature, off by default, like
Zig's snap build option) and bounds output collection to 50 KiB per
stream (StdoutStreamTooLong/StderrStreamTooLong).
- +show-face writes diagnostics and lookup lines in the exact fragments
Zig's formatter produces, so buffer drains happen at the same byte
positions (0 diffs vs /usr/bin/ghostty over 0-44 bad options for
three codepoints); its tests no longer parse the test runner's argv.
- DEVIANT_FIXES.md: five entries reworded and four removed that were no
longer deviations (verified against code and oracle).
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-os open; cargo test -p ghostty-cli show_face
Adds docs/rewrite/DEVIANT_FIXES.md, the single list of places where the
Rust port deliberately behaves differently from Ghostty 1.3.1:
- 30 upstream bugs fixed instead of replicated (memory safety/UB,
infinite loops, crashes, data loss), each with Zig file:line, both
behaviours, the commit that introduced the Rust behaviour and its test
(a few Zig locations are marked unverified);
- 11 upstream quirks deliberately kept as in Zig;
- 18 other deliberate deviations (out-of-scope Swift app, platforms that
are only compile-checked, library substitutions with observable
differences).
Deviations made from now on are committed alone as fix-deviant(<scope>)
and added here; earlier ones are bundled in larger commits, which is why
the register records their hashes.
