Preview helper and shell tests pass locally. Native macOS/Linux build, test, and package validation remain pending in CI. Local Windows-only hooks cannot execute under WSL; content and workflow checks were run separately.
Snapshot commit of the in-progress runtime-control and terminal-fidelity
work on this branch. Every item below is code-complete and covered by
targeted checks; none of it has had human UX acceptance yet.
Runtime control surface
- Resource-style CLI (`nebula <resource> <verb>`) replacing the flat verb
list, with shell completions regenerated for zsh/bash/fish.
- `pane.exec` end to end: protocol params, both UI routes, and a process
executor that reaps the whole descendant tree through a Windows Job
Object so a timed-out or early-exiting child cannot leave the stdout
reader waiting on an EOF that never comes.
- `shortcuts` module exposing the keybinding surface to the API.
- Agent environment contract (`agent_env`): TERM_PROGRAM and friends, so
third-party tooling identifies Nebula without special-casing.
- Provider command matrix filled in for OpenCode, Cursor, Kimi, Pi and
omp (cold start / resume / fork), each from verified CLI syntax.
Workspace
- Quick Jump over tabs, panes, frecency directories, SSH hosts and AI
sessions; Recipes and Files scopes stay hidden until their backends
exist end to end.
- Send-selection-to-chat with explicit pane routing.
- Taskbar integration.
- Configurable terminal-card geometry (radius, gutter, shadow, divider)
carried by the theme, with a single radius constant shared by both
shells instead of one literal per shell.
Terminal
- PTY lost-wakeup fix completed. The 1.2.0 repost keyed on "the pipe
still holds bytes", but `drain_inner` takes the read waker *before*
copying, so that check was a TOCTOU: a read that got data already
means no waker is registered. The repost now keys only on "this read
got data", which self-converges, plus a regression test.
- `conpty_realign` now corrects both directions. Only the collapse case
(conhost above our cursor) was handled; a rewrap that leaves conhost
*below* us left every absolute CUP from PSReadLine landing on the
wrong row after a split.
- DECSET 2031 colour-scheme change notifications, with the light/dark
predicate sharing one source with the OSC 11 answer.
- `TerminalColorResolver` reachable from the GPUI shell (`pub(crate)`),
and its line endings restored to LF after an editor round-trip had
rewritten all 329 lines as CRLF.
Repro tooling
- `pty_stall_repro.ps1` reproduces the lost wakeup by separating the
64 KB burst from the tail, which is the half the earlier drain probe
was missing.
- `tui_redraw_dup_probe.ps1` checks in-place UI-block redraws for
duplicated and dropped lines via monotonic line numbering.
Ignore rules: the `.run-*`, `.isolated-*`, `.chk*.js`, `*-probe.png`,
`NebulaTerminal-*/` and `*-preview-package/` families were reaching
`git status` as untracked. They are per-round debug evidence and local
build output.
Verification
- `cargo check -p nebula --features gpui-shell` passes.
- `cargo test -p nebula --features gpui-shell`: 1001 passed, 1 failed.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- The single failure, `math_overlay::tests::alt_screen_renders_agent_math`,
reproduces identically on e41b3c8 in a clean worktree. It predates this
work and is not addressed here: the test swaps to the alternate screen,
which resets its region, then expects the primary screen's formula to
still be planned.
`ContextMenuExt::context_menu()` wraps the host element and keys its element
state by a hardcoded "context-menu" id. The wrapper's id enters the
GlobalElementId stack *before* the wrapped row's own `("sidebar-tab", ix)`,
so every sidebar tab row resolved to the same state — the same
`Rc<RefCell<ContextMenuSharedState>>`. Opening one menu set `open = true` for
all rows, and each row then re-rendered the same PopupMenu entity at the same
anchor. The panel is opaque so the stack was invisible, but the popover shadow
is not: its alpha composited once per tab. That is the whole of "the more tabs,
the thicker the right-click shadow" — no packaging or config involvement.
The tab menu now uses the same carrier as the file tree: rows only record the
anchor and index, and a single `deferred(anchored(PopupMenu))` is drawn from
the workspace root, so the component's own popover shadow stays single-layer.
The menu is dropped when the TABS section folds, and skipped when its captured
index no longer exists.
Alongside it:
- CHANGELOG: 1.1.0 gains this fix and issue #38 (two notify wrappers wrapping
each other until Codex's config.toml reached 130MB); release date moves to
2026-08-18.
- docs/release-notes/v1.1.0.md: release notes in the 1.0.0 format, with PR
credits, reporter credits, and a pointer to the issue templates.
- README / THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES: GPUI and gpui-component are credited and
declared — both Apache-2.0, compiled as lightly patched forks.
- .gitignore: ignore the whole `.probe-*/` family instead of one name at a time.
- SSH settings: the modal private-key file dialog now runs on a dedicated
thread with results returned via oneshot and dropped when the editor
generation changed. Running it inside the update borrow let the dialog's
message pump re-enter the GPUI wndproc and panic the AppCell — the
"click add private key, window vanishes" crash. Includes the reworked
host editor panel and dialog owner-HWND plumbing (file_dialog, cli).
- Markdown reader: GitHub-flavored HTML semantics land in the local
gpui-component fork (align="center" blocks, badge rows in one line,
<br/> document order, <a><img/></a> badges keep image + link);
changelog entries and the fork patch ledger recorded here.
- Packaging: freshness guards refuse binaries older than the newest
source change, the staged exe must report the release version, all four
ps1 carry a UTF-8 BOM, and the zip drops the 20MB fonts/ copy (the
embedded font materializes on demand via ensure_bundled_font_on_disk).
- Size budget: release profile goes thin-LTO + codegen-units=1 +
strip=symbols + opt-level=s with render/shaping/VT hot crates pinned at
O3 — nebula.exe 136MB → 93MB, both packages 54.4MB → 28.6MB.
- Tab row: width no longer tracks content (w_full rows shipped in a fresh
binary), tab bar collapse behavior tuned; probe/packaging scratch dirs
ignored.
Register a ureq HttpClient so document tabs can fetch http(s) images. Also lands OSC 8/URL links, configurable terminal bell, and the rest of the 1.1.0 GPUI changelog.
Win32 input emits Esc down+up with uChar=27 so Claude Code sees 0x1b;
kitty flags encode CSI 27u instead of a bare escape. The TABS plus
button now creates the configured default shell; the dots keep the
profile picker. Plus/dots use the old 20px chrome size.
Checkpoint remaining GPUI parity work in the tree (settings rewrite,
math overlay, SSH settings, SVN status).
The visual work was derived by reading another terminal's screenshots. That
derivation is internal: the repo ships a product, and a product's source
should not carry a competitor's name in its comments.
The conclusions were already written into the ui/ layer contract and the
call-site comments, which stand on their own — the removed prose was the
argument, not the rule. docs/nebula-visual-design-language.md is untracked
rather than deleted (same treatment as docs/future_planning.md): its section
structure is organised around per-screenshot evidence, so rewording the name
would leave chapters that no longer explain what they are looking at.
.probe/ and .run/ are ignored too. The probe directory holds a ~310 MB copy
of the debug binary, which must never reach a commit.
Session v4 doubles as the workspace file format: tabs persist their full
split tree, per-pane cwds and launch identity (shell/profile/SSH), so both
crash recovery and exported workspaces rebuild real layouts.
Startup now always sizes the window from the config base font at the
standard 116x30 grid: the persisted Ctrl+wheel zoom no longer inflates the
first frame, and the saved window size/maximized state is write-only.
Wallpaper controls (fit/alignment/opacity), shared widget components
(combobox/slider/toggle/spinner), icon geometry module, surface opacity
policy, and the backdrop layer fix so wallpaper opacity fades toward the
theme background instead of exposing the desktop behind the window.
