The tab bar's row-2 summary was painted only for the active tab. Add a
per-child summaryTextFor/summaryRawFor helper (active variants now
delegate to it), carry each tab's childID on its tabRect, and loop over
all visible tabs so each renders its own summary under its column.
Layout is unchanged (still 3 rows); narrow tabs clip as before.
Resolves the per-tab summary TODO item.
Each agent tab now prefixes its label with the same one-rune idle
indicator the sidebar uses (✕ error, ? permission, ◐ thinking, ○ idle,
● working), so the state of every open agent is visible without
opening or focusing each tab. Tab redraws now fire on idle-state
changes in addition to sidebar redraws.
The top tab bar compared against focusedID, so stepping into a
sub-agent dropped the parent tab's highlight even though the user
was still inside that thread. activeAgentID already walks the
parent chain to the top-level root for the sidebar's agent tree
— reuse it for the tab strip too.
Live metrics (--profile):
- New metricsTracker instruments OnPTYOut, viewport renderer,
stdout writes, libghostty-vt Write/Title CGO calls, sidebar /
tabbar / status draws (with cache-hit accounting), snapshot
replays, and the chrome ticker (so we can see ticker fires that
did nothing).
- Writes metrics.jsonl (one snapshot per second) and metrics.json
+ summary.txt on exit, alongside the existing pprof files.
- All record* methods are nil-safe so disabled paths pay only a
cheap nil check; counters are atomic so the per-PTY-chunk hot
path stays lock-free.
Benchmark suite (go test -bench=.):
- Three workload fixtures — plain ASCII, SGR-styled lines, and a
ratatui-style cursor-shuffling burst — plus a containsOSC
microbenchmark. Reports ns/op, MB/s, allocs/op, B/op.
- Initial baseline numbers added to TODO under the perf-audit
section, alongside two new findings (renderer allocs ~1 per 4
bytes on styled chunks; styled throughput tops out near
90 MB/s) those benchmarks surfaced.
Bundles the in-flight work into the first tagged release. See
CHANGELOG.md `[0.0.1] - 2026-05-14` for the full per-change list.
Highlights:
- Sidebar / chrome stability: clamp absolute cursor positioning and
printable bytes to the viewport so long-running TUIs (claude, codex)
can't spray into the right rail; bound tab bar's row clear to the
viewport width so the rail isn't wiped on every tab redraw; flag
scroll escapes (RI/IND/NEL/SU/SD/IL/DL) and clamp `CSI 0/1/2 J`/`K`
to viewport columns.
- Palette: "Spawn process…" form, macros (`sw `, `k `, `sp `), kill
entries mark the focused tab, dead agents drop out of the switch
list.
- Sidebar: split into Processes (session-wide) + Agent Tree
(per-active-agent) sections; relaunch indicator; Ctrl+W/S walks the
combined list, Ctrl+A/D steps tabs.
- MCP: protocol handshake (`initialize`, `tools/list`, `tools/call`,
`ping`), `mcp_injection.kind = cli_override / config_env` so codex
and opencode pick up the server with no file writes, `lifecycle`
help topic and tool-description cleanup-duty pointers.
- Lifecycle: orchestrator-spawned children cascade-killed when the
parent dies; orchestrator-injected prompts end with CR + delayed
Enter so claude submits cleanly.
This batches the in-flight [Unreleased] block from CHANGELOG.md into a
single commit. Highlights:
- Real MCP protocol layer (initialize / tools/list / tools/call) so
vendor MCP clients can complete the handshake against the per-PID
socket. Legacy direct-dispatch preserved for the harness.
- New mcp_injection kinds — cli_override for codex, config_env for
opencode — joining the existing env-var and config_file paths so
patterm can slot into more agents without touching their real
config or auth.
- Ctrl+A/D and Ctrl+W/S focus navigation across tabs and intra-tab
process lists, recognised in legacy / kitty CSI u / xterm
modifyOtherKeys encodings.
- Palette macros (sw / k / sp ) and reordering so open sessions
surface above spawn-new entries.
- Two-row tab bar, sidebar/tabbar/status chrome cache, viewport-wipe
on agent spawn, CR-terminated orchestrator injections, and split-
Enter PTY writes so paste-detecting TUIs see Enter as a key event.
Also fixes the bug logged in TODO: claude's Ctrl+O tool-call expansion
emits CSI 0 J, which the viewport renderer was forwarding verbatim —
wiping the sidebar to the right of the cursor and leaving the chrome
cache convinced nothing had changed. CSI 0 J and CSI 1 J are now
translated into per-row ECH sequences clamped to the viewport, same
as CSI 2 J and CSI K already were.
Agent guides (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md) now spell out the
TODO->CHANGELOG workflow so completed items land in the changelog
rather than as ticked entries left behind in TODO.
Module renamed github.com/harrybrwn/patterm → github.com/hjbdev/patterm
across imports.
Chrome:
- Palette redrawn with rounded box-drawing borders, accent left-bar
for the selected item, dim hints, and a separator-aware footer.
- Tab bar grew from 1 row to 3: labels with breathing room, a dim
argv subtitle truncated to each tab's width, and an accent thick
underline for the focused tab with a faint divider extending across
the rest of the host width. Layout, viewport-renderer, and screen-
renderer tests updated for the new mainTop.
- Sidebar reuses the same palette: accent section headers, `▎`
selection marker, `●`/`○` status glyphs, dim previews.
- Shared SGR constants moved into internal/app/style.go.
Palette input:
- Adjacent duplicate arrow events (legacy `\x1b[B` + kitty
`\x1b[57353u` for one keypress, or two of the same form) are now
collapsed via peekArrowEvent + chunk-level dedupe in processStdin.
- On open, push `\x1b[>0u` onto the host's kitty keyboard stack so
palette input is in plain legacy mode regardless of what the child
pushed (codex/ratatui pushes its own flags which had been leaking
to the host). Popped on close.
Tab-switch repaint (repaintFocused):
- Use the emulator's SerializeVT bytes (with SGR / cursor / DECSTBM
/ tabstops) instead of plain text, fed through the per-focused
viewport renderer so the shifter translates row positions.
- Prelude resets host SGR / DECOM / DECSTBM (pinned to viewport) /
cursor visibility before the replay, so leftover modes from the
previously-focused child don't distort the new snapshot.
- Re-emit the saved cursor as a child-space CUP after the
serialized bytes so the host cursor lands at the emulator's
actual position (overriding DECSTBM's home side-effect and the
tabstop-setup CHA sequences) AND the renderer's vr.row/vr.col
get re-synced via trackCSI.
- cursorShifter now carries childRows and rewrites empty
`\x1b[r` to `\x1b[<mainTop>;<mainBottom>r` (host coords) — the
default (1,1) shifted to (4,4) was producing a one-row scrolling
region that scroll-exploded the replay.
- After the snapshot lands, nudge the focused child with a one-row
PTY winsize toggle so the kernel emits SIGWINCH and ratatui-style
TUIs throw away their diff state and emit a fresh frame.
Codex still renders incorrectly after a focus switch; see TODO.md
"Switch-back render divergence" for the deep investigation handoff.
