The theme's absolute mode-line height couldn't help, since the padding space drives the strip height, not the face. The padding now uses an absolute integer height anchored to the frame's default face, so a buffer that enlarges its own default (nov, text-scale) no longer inflates the bar. Normal buffers are unchanged, and the nov bar matches them. feat(modeline): mode icons, status segments, and a repair command 2026-07-02T04:00:41+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-07-02T04:00:41+00:00 urn:sha1:37d92510afbaea8609e8aa3612c6e9d27edba12d I rebuilt the custom modeline as pure segment helpers with thin :eval wiring: - The nerd-icons mode icon replaces the mode-name text (cached per buffer, plain name on terminal frames), with the full mode name in the help-echo. - New left-side segments: modified dot / read-only lock (file buffers only), remote @host tag, Narrow tag that widens on click, point-based percentage, region selection info, and a MACRO tag while a keyboard macro records. - New right-side segments: mode-line-process (eat and compilation state was invisible) and flycheck per-severity counts with click-through to the error list, replacing the stock status text. Glyphs are nerd-icons private-use codepoints so emojify can't rewrite them, with text fallbacks when icons are unavailable. - cj/modeline-reset kills a hijacked buffer-local mode-line-format (two-column mode, ediff, calc). - Optional taller bar via cj/modeline-height-factor, a display height property on the padding space so the theme's mode-line faces stay untouched. - Housekeeping: the dead user-constants require and stale commentary are gone, cj/modeline-vc-faces left the risky-local-variable list, and the cache-key defun is cj/--modeline-vc-cache-key so it no longer shadows the same-named defvar. Percent signs from :eval strings go through the mode-line %-construct pass, so the position segment emits %% for a literal percent.
