-** DONE [#B] F9 toggle collapses a 3-window layout to 2 :bug:
-CLOSED: [2026-06-20 Sat]
-Fixed 2026-06-20 (option 1 — reversible toggle, Craig's call). In a 3+ window layout where
-the agent had its own split, toggle-on reused the working window at the bottom edge,
-displacing its buffer and collapsing three windows to two. Added a flag
-(=cj/--ai-term-last-toggle-deleted-split=) set when toggle-off delete-windows the agent's own
-window; =cj/--ai-term-reuse-edge-window= consumes it and falls through to a fresh re-split, so
-the agent returns to its own window and the others are untouched. The flag only changes the 3+
-window case (2-window slot-reuse unchanged). TDD regression
-=test-ai-term--reuse-edge-window-3win-toggle-restores-own-window=; full =make test= green;
-live-reloaded. Commit 64916462. GUI sign-off is a VERIFY under Manual testing and validation.

-Resumes the full-codebase refactoring scan run of 2026-06-20 (8-agent fan-out over
-modules/ + scripts/theme-studio/). The goal: apply every scan finding except the
-won't-do items, one focused refactor per commit. 25 done and pushed across the
-2026-06-20 sessions (see =.ai/sessions/= for the logs); 8 remain, listed below.
-The 5 medium extractions are done (calibredb-epub nov helpers fccf29b0, ai-term
-toggle-off 62fee96b, calendar-sync exception parser 23f405b4, dirvish playlist-target
-a1ca2fb0, custom-case title-case-word 4cc9ca0b); the 2 big single-file and 6
-theme-studio items below remain.
-
-*** Working protocol (apply to every item)
-- TDD: write/keep a failing-then-green test; harvest new test seams the refactor opens.
-- Behavior-preserving only. If a "dedup" would delete a real test seam or couple
- dissimilar code, SKIP it and record why (see skips below).
-- Per refactor, verify in this order, then commit + push (no-approvals mode):
- 1. =make test-file FILE=<basename.el>= for touched + new tests.
- 2. =make validate-modules= (loads all 123 modules; catches load/paren errors).
- 3. Init-launch smoke on a throwaway daemon: =emacs --daemon=cj-sNN=, then
- =emacsclient -s cj-sNN -e '(emacs-pid)'= to capture the PID, check
- =(length features)= = 807 and no init errors in the log, then kill by that
- PID (the emacsclient kill-emacs is flaky; pkill -f 'daemon=cj-sNN'
- self-matches its own shell — kill the captured PID).
- 4. Live-reload the edited module into Craig's running daemon
- (=emacsclient -e '(load "/home/cjennings/.emacs.d/modules/<m>.el")'=); skip
- the live reload for big use-package modules whose :config restacks (verify via
- the fresh smoke daemon instead, as with mail-config).
-- Tab-heavy files: =sed -n 'A,Bp' FILE | cat -A= to get exact bytes before an Edit;
- write NEW code in the documented 2-space style.
-- Shared asset already created: =cj/format-region-with-program= in system-lib.el
- (the run-a-formatter-over-the-buffer helper). Reuse it for any further
- format-region duplicates.
-
-*** DONE — medium extractions (2026-06-20 afternoon)
-All five shipped: calibredb-epub nov re-render/centering helpers (fccf29b0);
-ai-term toggle-off teardown + working-buffer swap (62fee96b); calendar-sync
-per-event exception parser (23f405b4); dirvish playlist-target resolution
-(a1ca2fb0); custom-case per-word title-case decision (4cc9ca0b).

-*** DONE — big single-file + theme-studio (2026-06-20 afternoon, no-approvals run)
-Both big single-file items shipped: dwim-shell branching command builders
-(f93b4615); custom-comments divider/box generator dedup (42f0c88a). Five of the
-six theme-studio items shipped: face_coverage path_kind (9a52370b),
-capture-default-faces condition_matches unify (28b4d1cf), dropdownRowTextColor
-delete (10a56789), test-file inline-integrity dedup — subTest loop + shared
-inline-strip.mjs (13969c70), generate.py lazy _build()/__getattr__ (6df4ebdc),
-browser-gates assertPreviewFaces for the 3 preview gates (5627f137).
-
-*** Remaining — browser-gates harness rewrite (HIGHEST RISK, deferred for review)
-Two parts of the browser-gates.js item are intentionally NOT done in the
-autonomous no-approvals run — they rewrite the harness that verifies everything,
-so a subtle helper bug manufactures silent false-greens across all 44 gates:
-- =gate(name, body)= helper for the ~39 gates' =let ok;notes;A=...; title; result-div=
- boilerplate. LOW value (pure boilerplate; note format drifted 17 " | " vs 24
- " fails="). CRITICAL CONSTRAINT on any attempt: each gate keeps its literal
- =location.hash==='#NAMEtest'= (run-tests.sh greps it to discover gates) — wrap only
- the body, e.g. =if(location.hash==='#x')gate('X','x',A=>{...})=. Verify: all 44 gates
- green AND a deliberately-broken assertion still FAILS (proved feasible — chrome is
- available; the assertPreviewFaces commit ran exactly that check).
-- =withSavedState(keys, body)= for the ~13 mutating gates' inconsistent
- PALETTE/MAP/UIMAP/SYNTAX snapshot-restore (7 mutating gates currently restore
- NOTHING — a real state-pollution bug, not just dedup). Needs per-gate key analysis.
-Both warrant Craig's eye before/after given the harness-rewrite risk. The
-=assertPreviewFaces= part of this item is already done (5627f137).
-
-*** Remaining — item-8 plan() factory (deferred, low value)
-The =plan(overrides)= factory for the ~30 planPaletteGenerator calls (test-app-core.mjs
-+ test-palette-generator-core.mjs) was deferred. The calls pass heterogeneous options
-(scheme/accentCount/sourceMode/vibe/intent vary per call); a factory only dedups the
-constant spanCount:0/rng and would hide which options each test actually exercises —
-premature abstraction over varying calls. The other two item-8 parts (subTest loop +
-shared stripExports) shipped in 13969c70.
-
-*** WON'T-DO (do not re-attempt — assessed and rejected)
-- theme-studio buildTable/buildUITable/buildPkgTable merge: genuine per-tier divergence
- (column order, syntax dual fg/bg dropdowns, ui preview cell, pkg nd markers) + the
- =.cells[N]= positional sort coupling make a unified builder MORE complex than the
- three explicit ones. Close as won't-do.
-- Cross-language test overlap (browser-gates preview gate vs test_generate.py
- PackageFaceCoverage): don't merge — would couple a fast Python test to a headless
- browser run. A one-line comment in each noting the split is the most that's worth it.
-
-*** Skipped this run (with reasons — don't redo)
-- eshell-config ssh-alias "merge the two helpers": =cj/--eshell-ssh-alias-commands= is
- a deliberate pure/effectful split with 3 dedicated tests; merging deletes the seam.
-- prog-*-setup boilerplate: only python+webdev share the full pattern; shell/c/elisp/
- common-lisp differ materially. A keyword-arg helper would be less readable. No
- premature abstraction.
-- erc join-command =cj/erc--ensure-active-connection= extraction: nesting-only on
- untestable UI (call-interactively/switch-to-buffer), no test seam, risky tab-rewrite.
-- coverage-core =simplecov-executable-lines= vs =parse-simplecov= clone: borderline

-:PROPERTIES:
-:LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-06-13
-:END:
-Needs from Craig: re-enabling native-comp config-wide is a stability/perf judgment, not a mechanical fix. Was it disabled deliberately (a crash, a build without native-comp, async-warning noise)? If you want it back on, confirm and I'll re-enable + raise the GC threshold and verify a clean full launch; otherwise this stays parked. I won't flip it blind.
-From the 2026-06 config audit (verified against the live daemon). =early-init.el:69= =(setq native-comp-deferred-compilation nil)= — the obsolete alias of =native-comp-jit-compilation= — turns JIT native compilation OFF entirely, not "synchronous" as the comment claims: 19 .eln files exist for 184 packages, ~100 of 121 modules run interpreted for the daemon's lifetime, and system-defaults.el:42-44's speed-3/8-jobs/always-compile settings are dead. Plus =early-init.el:113-116= restores =gc-cons-threshold= to the captured STOCK default (800000, verified) post-startup — frequent small GC pauses forever. Together these plausibly feed the filed org-capture 15-20s task more than anything in the capture path itself. Actions: retest the old "Selecting deleted buffer" race on 30.2 and re-enable JIT (or AOT sweep); set a deliberate 16-64MB threshold (or gcmh). Check both before burning time on the capture-perf debug task.

Exercised once the phases above land.
+*** VERIFY deferred game commands still work after a restart (load-graph Phase 4)
+What we're verifying: with games-config no longer eagerly required, malyon and 2048-game still launch from a fresh Emacs, and games-config loads on first use rather than at startup. Batch tests cover the autoload chain; this is the interactive confirmation the spec asks for after each deferral batch.
+- Restart Emacs (daemon or standalone) so games-config is no longer pre-loaded from this session.
+- Confirm it's not loaded at startup:
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(featurep 'games-config)
+#+end_src
+- M-x malyon — it should load games-config and the malyon package, then start interactive fiction (stories under ~/sync/org/text.games/).
+- M-x 2048-game — should start the 2048 puzzle.
+- Re-check (featurep 'games-config) — now non-nil.
+Expected: at startup (featurep 'games-config) is nil; both commands launch normally; after invoking one, games-config is loaded. If a command errors instead of launching, capture it and reopen the deferral as a TODO.
+*** VERIFY native-comp + gcmh survive a daemon restart cleanly
+What we're verifying: re-enabling JIT native compilation and switching GC to gcmh holds up across a full daemon restart and a real work session. The fix is live in the current daemon and a throwaway daemon launched clean, but the already-loaded modules only get natively compiled on a fresh start (a background async burst), and the old "Selecting deleted buffer" race needs a real GUI session to rule out on 30.2.
+- Restart the Emacs daemon (clean state): kill it and start fresh, or reboot.
+- Use Emacs normally for a while — the first session after restart triggers background native compilation of ~100 modules. Watch for any "Selecting deleted buffer" errors or compilation crashes (check the *Async-native-compile-log* buffer and comp-warnings.log).
+- After things settle, confirm the settings are live:
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(list :jit native-comp-jit-compilation
+ :gcmh gcmh-mode
+ :gcmh-high gcmh-high-cons-threshold)
+#+end_src
+- Edit normally (completion, agenda, AI buffers) and notice whether the periodic GC jank is gone.
+Expected: restart is clean (no backtrace); the background native-comp burst finishes without "Selecting deleted buffer" errors; the form returns (:jit t :gcmh t :gcmh-high 1073741824); editing feels smoother with no frequent GC pauses. If the async race recurs on 30.2, capture the error and reopen as a TODO — the fallback is an AOT sweep or going back to JIT-off.
*** VERIFY mu4e buffers are themed (headers, main, message view)
What we're verifying: with the mu4e modes excluded from global font-lock, mu4e's manual face properties survive, so the buffers pick up the theme. The headers + main + view-headers are the ones global font-lock was stripping.

Expected: d duplicates; D names the exact targets and only deletes on yes; the files are gone with no trash copy. If sudo needs a password that shell-command can't supply, flag it — the delete may need to route through a tty instead.
-*** VERIFY F9 agent toggle no longer shrinks the window after a C-; b pull-away
-What we're verifying: the f9 split-shrink bug is fixed. The toggle now captures the agent window's total-height (not body-height), so the capture/replay round-trip is immune to the mode line's pixel height — the agent should keep the same height across repeated toggles even with the WIP theme's near-zero =mode-line-inactive= (=:height 2=). The batch harness can't reproduce this (a TTY mode line is always a full line), so this needs a real GUI frame.
-- Open the agent (F9) and maximize it so it fills the frame (=C-x 1= inside it)
-- Pull it down with =C-; b <down>= (the reveal slivers in above; the agent becomes the bottom window) and press =<escape>= to end the sticky resize

-- Press F9 to toggle the agent off, then F9 again to toggle it back on. Repeat 5–6 times.
-- Re-check the height after each on-toggle
-Expected: the agent window stays the same height every cycle (no one-line-per-toggle shrink). Before the fix it lost ~1 line each toggle. If it still shrinks, capture the height sequence and reopen this as a TODO — the remaining drift would point at a different rounding source than the mode-line pixel height.
-*** VERIFY F9 toggle preserves all windows in a 3-window layout
-What we're verifying: toggling the agent off then on in a 3-window layout no longer eats a working window. The fix re-splits the agent into its own window on toggle-on instead of reusing the working window at the edge, so the layout is preserved across the toggle (off then on returns the same three windows). Batch tests already assert the window count; this is the visual read in a real frame.
-- Set up three windows: a code/file window on top, a second working window (e.g. todo.org) in the middle, and the agent (F9) as a full-width strip at the bottom
-- Note the three windows and which buffers they show
-- Press F9 to toggle the agent off (the bottom strip closes, two windows remain)
-- Press F9 again to toggle it back on
-Expected: you are back to three windows — the agent returns as its own bottom strip, and both working windows (code + middle) are still showing their buffers. Before the fix, toggle-on replaced the middle/bottom working window with the agent, leaving two windows.
+*** 2026-06-20 Sat @ 22:11:00 -0400 F9 agent toggle no longer shrinks after a C-; b pull-away
+Craig confirmed in his live GUI frame: the agent window keeps its height across repeated F9 toggles after a C-; b pull-away, even under the WIP theme's near-zero mode-line-inactive. The total-height capture/replay fix holds (dbee95ae).

-=modules/ai-vterm.el= → =modules/ai-term.el=: 6 vterm call sites swapped to ghostel (buffer named via let-bound ghostel-buffer-name + pinned ghostel-buffer-name-function so OSC titles don't rename agent buffers); F9/C-F9/M-F9 on global + ghostel-mode-map; refuse-in-terminal guard removed (D4 — F9 launches in TTY frames); tmux-suppression invariant preserved (cj/--ai-term-suppress-tmux). 23 ai-vterm tests renamed → test-ai-term--* (terminal-guard test deleted, obsolete); show-or-create + f9-in-term rewritten for ghostel; all green. ui-config cursor-state ported (ghostel-mode + ghostel--input-mode; copy/emacs = read-only, else writeable) + its test. init.el now requires term-config + ai-term; vterm-config.el + ai-vterm.el deleted. Full suite green except the 5 documented pre-existing failures (4 dupre-theme, 1 init-module-headers/popper-config-missing — both unrelated). validate-modules ✓; full early-init+init smoke clean (no ghostel/term/ai-term errors). vterm package still installed (Phase 4) — dashboard "Launch VTerm" + dormant auto-dim still reference it until Phase 3/4. Restart Emacs to pick up ghostel (load-order + use-package :config change).

-*** 2026-06-05 Fri @ 14:24:02 -0500 Auto-dim revisit cancelled — current no-dim behavior is fine
-Craig confirmed the shipped auto-dim setup works fine as-is: terminal buffers don't participate in unfocused-window dimming (D1), and the rest of auto-dim behaves. That is the measured decision the original task asked for — option (a), keep no-dim — so no rework (the focus-loss palette-blend in option (b) or an upstream per-window hook in option (c)) is needed. Closing without further investigation. Context: [[id:b54c94a0-d762-4b41-afd7-cf5593ce6675][migration spec]] D1.
-
-*** 2026-05-26 Tue @ 15:15:43 -0500 Direction confirmed; Claude Code in eat needs a caveat
-Craig confirmed the consolidation: one terminal engine everywhere — eat for standalone terminal buffers (replacing vterm) plus =eat-eshell-mode= as eshell's visual backend, keeping eshell as the shell. Not dropping eshell for eat + zsh.
-
-Researched whether Claude Code runs cleanly in eat (Craig runs it in his Emacs terminal). Verdict: mostly, with caveats. eat is the default backend for claude-code.el and renders the TUI with color and full key handling, but there is an eat-specific bug where Claude Code's input handling makes the buffer scroll-pop to the top on window-buffer changes and the input box can get stuck mid-buffer (recoverable, but it does not happen in vterm or ghostel), and eat runs about 1.5x slower than vterm on heavy streaming output. claude-code.el's own docs name ghostel as the most faithful Claude TUI renderer.
-
-Recommendation: consolidate everyday terminals onto eat, but keep ghostel (or vterm) for the Claude Code workflow specifically — the scroll-pop / stuck-input bug and the slower heavy-stream handling are exactly what bites a long Claude session. Sources: [[https://github.com/cpoile/claudemacs][claudemacs]], [[https://github.com/stevemolitor/claude-code.el][claude-code.el]], [[https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat][emacs-eat]].
-
-Eval plan (from the research doc): install EAT alongside vterm, run the same workloads through both, decide. Test matrix: Claude Code TUI, lazygit, htop/btop, yazi, a heavy-output build, ssh to a remote, and eshell with =eat-eshell-mode=. Assess rendering fidelity, stability under heavy output, and Emacs-native line editing. Switch only if it covers every workflow without regression.

-*** 2026-06-02 Tue @ 14:12:48 -0500 Audit: eval plan not yet run; back to TODO
-Task audit found no eval work recorded since the 2026-05-26 direction-confirmed note. The test matrix above is unrun, so the task isn't actively in progress — moved DOING back to TODO until the eval starts.
-
-*** 2026-06-04 Thu @ 22:40:27 -0500 Pivot: ghostel as the single engine (not eat)
-Direction changed from eat-everyday + ghostel-for-Claude to ghostel-for-everything, and the task is now a migration rather than an eval. Rationale: ghostel is claude-code.el's most-faithful Claude TUI renderer and the fastest engine (81 vs vterm 34 vs eat 4.9 MB/s), and an audit confirmed it exposes an analog for every vterm primitive this config uses (=ghostel-send-string=, =ghostel-keymap-exceptions=, =ghostel-copy-mode=, =ghostel-clear-scrollback=, =ghostel-send-next-key=, =ghostel-next-prompt= / =ghostel-previous-prompt=, =ghostel-max-scrollback=, =ghostel-kill-buffer-on-exit=). eat's washed colors, the scroll-pop / stuck-input bug under Claude Code, and slowest throughput made it the weaker single-engine pick; one engine beats running two. Surface audited: 2 main modules (=vterm-config.el=, =ai-vterm.el=) + 4 satellites (=auto-dim-config.el= is the heavy one) + ~35 test files + init.el. Next: spike ghostel read-only to answer the open migration questions (auto-dim rework — ARCHITECTURE.md forbids the around-redraw color advice vterm uses; tmux pane-id via =process-tty-name= on a ghostel process; buffer naming; TTY-frame behavior; copy-mode keybinding parity), then write the migration spec under =docs/design/= and review it.
-
-*** 2026-06-04 Thu @ 23:17:54 -0500 Spec review: not ready until decisions and handoff shape are closed
-Ran the spec-review workflow against [[id:b54c94a0-d762-4b41-afd7-cf5593ce6675][docs/specs/vterm-to-ghostel-migration-spec-implemented.org]] and wrote a companion review file (incorporated and deleted 2026-06-04). Verdict: =Not ready=. Direction is sound, but the draft still has open D1-D5 decisions, lacks the workflow-required =Implementation phases= section and acceptance criteria, and needs explicit ghostel package/native-module failure behavior before implementation tasks can be emitted.

-Folded the external review via spec-response. Craig accepted D1-D5; baked them plus D6 (module-failure = degrade-with-warning, modifying the reviewer's fail-loud) and D7 (=ghostel-max-scrollback= 10 MB) into a new Agreed-decisions section. Added Implementation phases (0-4), Acceptance criteria, Dependency/module-failure behavior, Test strategy, per-phase key/menu ownership, the tmux-suppression contract, and an Implementation-tasks drop-in block. Status DRAFT → READY; review file deleted. Build is now unblocked.

+:PROPERTIES:

From the calibredb keybindings work 2026-06-06. The pattern that worked: in a modal/major-mode buffer (calibredb), bind =?= to a curated transient of the frequent workflows, and move the package's own full dispatch to =H=. It fixes the "I can't discover the keys" problem that which-key can't help with (which-key only pops up after a prefix, not for top-level single keys in a mode-map).
Task: survey the modes/modules Craig works in and identify where a =?= -> curated-help-menu (transient) makes sense. Candidates: any major-mode buffer with single-key bindings and no good discovery affordance -- calibredb (done), nov, dirvish, mu4e, ghostel/term, signel, pearl/linear, ELFeed, etc. For each, note whether =?= is free or already a help dispatch, and whether a curated menu (vs the package's own) adds value. Establish it as a convention (and maybe a small helper/macro to define a curated =?= menu consistently).

+:PROPERTIES:

+:END:
+Long-term test-quality work surfaced by re-enabling native-comp (2026-06-20). When a test redefines a C primitive or a native-compiled function (=cl-letf=/=fset=/=advice-add=), native-comp routes native callers through a trampoline, which interacts badly with mocks in three ways: trampoline-build failure under =--batch=, silent mock-bypass (native callers ignore the redefinition), and arity mismatch (the trampoline calls the mock with the primitive's max arity).
+
+Done 2026-06-21 (the immediate fix): swept every arity-narrow subr mock to =(lambda (&rest _) ...)= (188 sites) and added =tests/test-meta-subr-mock-arity.el=, which fails =make test= on any arity-narrow subr mock. That kills the arity mode (the only one we've hit) and enforces it going forward.
+
+This task is the durable fix the ecosystem and =elisp-testing.md= point to: restructure tests so they don't redefine primitives at all — inject dependencies, drive real state (temp-file fixtures, real buffers), or test pure helpers. That closes the two latent modes (build-failure, silent-bypass) the variadic sweep leaves open. Big, incremental, low-urgency.

+=.ai/sessions/= for the logs). 5 medium extractions + 2 big single-file refactors +
+6 theme-studio items including the browser-gates harness rewrite. The only item not
+done is the item-8 plan() factory, consciously skipped as premature abstraction
+(heterogeneous call sites — see "Remaining — item-8 plan() factory" below).
+The original scan: full-codebase 8-agent fan-out over modules/ + scripts/theme-studio/,
+one focused refactor per commit, won't-do items excluded.
+
+*** Working protocol (apply to every item)
+- TDD: write/keep a failing-then-green test; harvest new test seams the refactor opens.
+- Behavior-preserving only. If a "dedup" would delete a real test seam or couple
+ dissimilar code, SKIP it and record why (see skips below).
+- Per refactor, verify in this order, then commit + push (no-approvals mode):
+ 1. =make test-file FILE=<basename.el>= for touched + new tests.
+ 2. =make validate-modules= (loads all 123 modules; catches load/paren errors).
+ 3. Init-launch smoke on a throwaway daemon: =emacs --daemon=cj-sNN=, then
+ =emacsclient -s cj-sNN -e '(emacs-pid)'= to capture the PID, check
+ =(length features)= = 807 and no init errors in the log, then kill by that
+ PID (the emacsclient kill-emacs is flaky; pkill -f 'daemon=cj-sNN'
+ self-matches its own shell — kill the captured PID).
+ 4. Live-reload the edited module into Craig's running daemon
+ (=emacsclient -e '(load "/home/cjennings/.emacs.d/modules/<m>.el")'=); skip
+ the live reload for big use-package modules whose :config restacks (verify via
+ the fresh smoke daemon instead, as with mail-config).
+- Tab-heavy files: =sed -n 'A,Bp' FILE | cat -A= to get exact bytes before an Edit;
+ write NEW code in the documented 2-space style.
+- Shared asset already created: =cj/format-region-with-program= in system-lib.el
+ (the run-a-formatter-over-the-buffer helper). Reuse it for any further
+ format-region duplicates.
+
+*** DONE — medium extractions (2026-06-20 afternoon)

+per-event exception parser (23f405b4); dirvish playlist-target resolution

+browser-gates assertPreviewFaces for the 3 preview gates (5627f137).
+
+*** DONE — browser-gates harness rewrite (with Craig's go-ahead, 2026-06-20)
+- =gate(id, body)= helper (05697e83): the 38 standard gates' ok/notes/A + title +
+ result-div boilerplate, note format standardized to " fails=". Each call site keeps
+ its literal =location.hash==='#NAMEtest'=. 6 custom gates stay inline. First automated
+ attempt deleted gates (a closing-finder spanned boundaries) — caught by a gate-count
+ guard, reverted, redone anchored on each gate's unique =d.id=. Verified all 44 green +
+ a forced A(false) in a converted gate still FAILs.
+- =withSavedState(keys, body)= (a473aa7c): wraps the 7 restore-nothing gates, scoped to
+ the globals each mutates; JSON-clone snapshot + finally-restore (structuredClone threw
+ on the studio objects — caught by the gate run as "no verdict", switched to JSON like
+ the gates' own local saves). The 14 self-restoring gates left as-is. Verified 44 green,
+ restore round-trip holds, broken assertion in a wrapped gate still FAILs.
+
+*** Remaining — item-8 plan() factory (deferred, low value)
+The =plan(overrides)= factory for the ~30 planPaletteGenerator calls (test-app-core.mjs
++ test-palette-generator-core.mjs) was deferred. The calls pass heterogeneous options
+(scheme/accentCount/sourceMode/vibe/intent vary per call); a factory only dedups the
+constant spanCount:0/rng and would hide which options each test actually exercises —
+premature abstraction over varying calls. The other two item-8 parts (subTest loop +
+shared stripExports) shipped in 13969c70.
+
+*** WON'T-DO (do not re-attempt — assessed and rejected)
+- theme-studio buildTable/buildUITable/buildPkgTable merge: genuine per-tier divergence
+ (column order, syntax dual fg/bg dropdowns, ui preview cell, pkg nd markers) + the
+ =.cells[N]= positional sort coupling make a unified builder MORE complex than the
+ three explicit ones. Close as won't-do.
+- Cross-language test overlap (browser-gates preview gate vs test_generate.py
+ PackageFaceCoverage): don't merge — would couple a fast Python test to a headless
+ browser run. A one-line comment in each noting the split is the most that's worth it.
+
+*** Skipped this run (with reasons — don't redo)
+- eshell-config ssh-alias "merge the two helpers": =cj/--eshell-ssh-alias-commands= is
+ a deliberate pure/effectful split with 3 dedicated tests; merging deletes the seam.
+- prog-*-setup boilerplate: only python+webdev share the full pattern; shell/c/elisp/
+ common-lisp differ materially. A keyword-arg helper would be less readable. No
+ premature abstraction.
+- erc join-command =cj/erc--ensure-active-connection= extraction: nesting-only on
+ untestable UI (call-interactively/switch-to-buffer), no test seam, risky tab-rewrite.
+- coverage-core =simplecov-executable-lines= vs =parse-simplecov= clone: borderline
+ MEDIUM, differs only by a =(> hits 0)= predicate; parameterize with a keep-line-p
+ only if revisiting. Low priority.

+- =:973,1015,1024= — UNTIL treated as exclusive (strict =calendar-sync--before-date-p=); RFC and Google make it inclusive, so the LAST instance of every UNTIL-bounded series vanishes. Tests assert loose count ranges, so it's unpinned. Allow equality.
+- =:578= — comma-separated EXDATE lists (Google emits them) never parse; the exclusion drops silently and cancelled occurrences reappear on the agenda. Split on "," before parsing; no comma-case test exists.
+- =:902= — timed events without DTEND render as all-day (time lost); multi-day all-day spans collapse to one day (end date unused, exclusive-DTEND unhandled). Emit start-time-only stamps and org date ranges.

+** DONE [#A] Native compilation disabled config-wide; GC at stock 800KB :bug:next:
+CLOSED: [2026-06-20 Sat]
+Both fixed 2026-06-20. =early-init.el:69= was =(setq native-comp-deferred-compilation nil)= — the obsolete alias of =native-comp-jit-compilation= — which turned JIT native-comp OFF entirely (not "synchronous"); replaced with =(setq native-comp-jit-compilation t)= + =native-comp-async-report-warnings-errors 'silent=. The old "Selecting deleted buffer" async race was an Emacs 28/29 issue; this is 30.2. GC: dropped the early-init post-startup restore to stock 800KB and the system-defaults minibuffer setup/exit hooks, replaced with gcmh (idle-delay 'auto, 1GB high threshold) — keeps the threshold high during activity, collects on idle. Verified via a clean throwaway-daemon launch (native-comp-jit t, gcmh-mode t, no backtrace) and a batch proof of gcmh's threshold cycle; applied live to the running daemon. Restart confirmation filed under Manual testing and validation.
+** DONE [#C] Dirvish: free D for hard-delete, move duplicate :feature:quick:next:
+CLOSED: [2026-06-20 Sat]
+Decided with Craig 2026-06-20: remove delete-to-trash entirely, bind =d= = =cj/dirvish-duplicate-file= and =D= = =cj/dirvish-hard-delete= (sudo rm -rf after a =yes-or-no-p= naming the exact targets). Built in =modules/dirvish-config.el= (=cj/--dirvish-hard-delete-command= pure builder + =cj/dirvish-hard-delete= command; keymap =d=/=D= swap). 4 ERT tests for the command builder; full suite green; live-reloaded into the daemon (=dirvish-mode-map= =d=/=D= rebinding confirmed). Manual keypress + sudo-flow check filed under Manual testing and validation.
+** DONE [#C] Pull a fullscreen terminal window away with C-; b + arrow :feature:next:
+CLOSED: [2026-06-20 Sat]
+Decided with Craig 2026-06-20: when the selected window is the sole window, =C-; b= + arrow keeps that window on the arrow's edge and slivers =other-buffer= in on the opposite side (=minimize-window=, so the current window keeps almost the whole frame), focus staying put; each further arrow then shrinks it step by step via =windsize=, reading the same as resizing an existing split. Generalizes to any sole window, not just terminals — resize was a no-op there before. Built in =modules/ui-navigation.el= (=cj/window-pull-side= pure mapping + =cj/window--pull-away= + a =one-window-p= branch in =cj/window-resize-sticky=). ERT tests for the mapping and both sticky paths; geometry verified in a headless frame (down -> terminal 37/40 at the bottom, reveal 2 lines slivered on top via window-min-height=1, windsize-down then steps it down); full suite green; live-reloaded into the daemon. Refined from a first cut that split toward the arrow and jumped to 50%, per Craig's feedback. Manual gesture check filed under Manual testing and validation.

+Replace vterm with ghostel (libghostty-vt) as the single terminal engine across every workflow, and rename ai-vterm → ai-term. References: [[file:docs/2026-05-25-emacs-terminal-comparison.org][docs/2026-05-25-emacs-terminal-comparison.org]] (vterm vs eat vs ghostel research); migration spec [[id:b54c94a0-d762-4b41-afd7-cf5593ce6675][docs/specs/vterm-to-ghostel-migration-spec-implemented.org]] (READY; external review incorporated 2026-06-04, D1-D7 agreed). Build in 5 phases (0-4); see the spec's Implementation tasks block.

+D2 — set the 16 ghostel-color-* + ghostel-default faces in dupre-faces/palette.
+Roam-inbox note (2026-06-14): theme-studio assignments don't reach ghostel — it paints from its own ANSI palette, not the theme. Also investigate ghostel's property-file color mechanism as an alternative and surface the options for working with that limitation.

+CLOSED: [2026-06-20 Sat 22:50]
+Look at how selected text is highlighted in a ghostel buffer — the region face in =ghostel-copy-mode= and any live selection — surfaced during the copy-mode debugging. Check whether the highlight is legible against the dupre background and consistent with the rest of the config; if it needs theming, fold it in with D2 (theming the ghostel faces in dupre).
+
+*** 2026-06-04 Thu @ 23:57:09 -0500 Phase 0 done: characterization baseline green
+=make test= green except the 5 documented pre-existing failures (4 test-dupre-theme, 1 test-init-module-headers), none terminal-related. Characterization coverage already present + green for all six must-survive behaviors: vterm-toggle--dispatch/display/buffer-filter, vterm-tmux-history, ai-vterm--show-or-create/launch-command/f9-in-vterm, ui-config--buffer-cursor-state + vterm-copy-mode-cursor, dashboard-config-launchers. Add a characterization test before any behavior change in later phases if a gap appears.
+
+*** 2026-06-05 Fri @ 00:38:34 -0500 Phase 1 done: ghostel + term-config.el

Dropped: mouse-wheel SGR forwarding, vterm-timer-delay hacks, copy-mode cursor hook, goto-address hook. ghostel installed into elpa (MELPA + auto-downloaded native module). Tests: test-term-toggle--{dispatch,display,buffer-filter} + test-term-tmux-history (16) ported with a ghostel stub in testutil-ghostel-buffers; all green.
+
+*** 2026-06-05 Fri @ 00:38:34 -0500 Phase 2 done: ai-vterm→ai-term on ghostel
+=modules/ai-vterm.el= → =modules/ai-term.el=: 6 vterm call sites swapped to ghostel (buffer named via let-bound ghostel-buffer-name + pinned ghostel-buffer-name-function so OSC titles don't rename agent buffers); F9/C-F9/M-F9 on global + ghostel-mode-map; refuse-in-terminal guard removed (D4 — F9 launches in TTY frames); tmux-suppression invariant preserved (cj/--ai-term-suppress-tmux). 23 ai-vterm tests renamed → test-ai-term--* (terminal-guard test deleted, obsolete); show-or-create + f9-in-term rewritten for ghostel; all green. ui-config cursor-state ported (ghostel-mode + ghostel--input-mode; copy/emacs = read-only, else writeable) + its test. init.el now requires term-config + ai-term; vterm-config.el + ai-vterm.el deleted. Full suite green except the 5 documented pre-existing failures (4 dupre-theme, 1 init-module-headers/popper-config-missing — both unrelated). validate-modules ✓; full early-init+init smoke clean (no ghostel/term/ai-term errors). vterm package still installed (Phase 4) — dashboard "Launch VTerm" + dormant auto-dim still reference it until Phase 3/4. Restart Emacs to pick up ghostel (load-order + use-package :config change).
+
+*** 2026-06-05 Fri @ 00:50:58 -0500 Phase 3 done: satellites ported to ghostel
+Deleted auto-dim's vterm color-advice + redraw integration (~165 lines; D1 — terminals don't dim, ghostel bakes its palette per-terminal so there's no per-window color hook); dashboard launcher → =(ghostel)= + "Launch Terminal" label; cj-window-geometry/toggle-lib doc comments; module-inventory + init-load-graph doc refs. (ui-config cursor-state + init.el requires landed in Phase 2.) Trimmed test-auto-dim-config (dropped the 6 vterm tests) + updated the dashboard-launcher test stub. Incidental: removed the stale =popper-config= entry from the test-init-module-headers allowlist (the file doesn't exist + isn't required) — fixes the long-standing pre-existing test failure.
+
+*** 2026-06-05 Fri @ 00:50:58 -0500 Phase 4 done: vterm + vterm-toggle removed
+=package-delete='d vterm + vterm-toggle from elpa. No vterm refs remain in modules/init except intentional historical comments. Suite green except the 4 pre-existing dupre-theme failures (the popper-config one is now fixed). validate-modules ✓; full early-init+init batch smoke = INIT-SMOKE-OK. The migration parent stays DOING until Craig restarts Emacs and walks the ghostel manual-verify matrix under "Emacs Manual Testing and Validation".
+
+*** 2026-06-05 Fri @ 14:24:02 -0500 Auto-dim revisit cancelled — current no-dim behavior is fine
+Craig confirmed the shipped auto-dim setup works fine as-is: terminal buffers don't participate in unfocused-window dimming (D1), and the rest of auto-dim behaves. That is the measured decision the original task asked for — option (a), keep no-dim — so no rework (the focus-loss palette-blend in option (b) or an upstream per-window hook in option (c)) is needed. Closing without further investigation. Context: [[id:b54c94a0-d762-4b41-afd7-cf5593ce6675][migration spec]] D1.
+
+*** 2026-05-26 Tue @ 15:15:43 -0500 Direction confirmed; Claude Code in eat needs a caveat
+Craig confirmed the consolidation: one terminal engine everywhere — eat for standalone terminal buffers (replacing vterm) plus =eat-eshell-mode= as eshell's visual backend, keeping eshell as the shell. Not dropping eshell for eat + zsh.
+
+Researched whether Claude Code runs cleanly in eat (Craig runs it in his Emacs terminal). Verdict: mostly, with caveats. eat is the default backend for claude-code.el and renders the TUI with color and full key handling, but there is an eat-specific bug where Claude Code's input handling makes the buffer scroll-pop to the top on window-buffer changes and the input box can get stuck mid-buffer (recoverable, but it does not happen in vterm or ghostel), and eat runs about 1.5x slower than vterm on heavy streaming output. claude-code.el's own docs name ghostel as the most faithful Claude TUI renderer.
+
+Recommendation: consolidate everyday terminals onto eat, but keep ghostel (or vterm) for the Claude Code workflow specifically — the scroll-pop / stuck-input bug and the slower heavy-stream handling are exactly what bites a long Claude session. Sources: [[https://github.com/cpoile/claudemacs][claudemacs]], [[https://github.com/stevemolitor/claude-code.el][claude-code.el]], [[https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat][emacs-eat]].
+
+Eval plan (from the research doc): install EAT alongside vterm, run the same workloads through both, decide. Test matrix: Claude Code TUI, lazygit, htop/btop, yazi, a heavy-output build, ssh to a remote, and eshell with =eat-eshell-mode=. Assess rendering fidelity, stability under heavy output, and Emacs-native line editing. Switch only if it covers every workflow without regression.
+
+*** 2026-06-02 Tue @ 14:12:48 -0500 Audit: eval plan not yet run; back to TODO
+Task audit found no eval work recorded since the 2026-05-26 direction-confirmed note. The test matrix above is unrun, so the task isn't actively in progress — moved DOING back to TODO until the eval starts.
+
+*** 2026-06-04 Thu @ 22:40:27 -0500 Pivot: ghostel as the single engine (not eat)
+Direction changed from eat-everyday + ghostel-for-Claude to ghostel-for-everything, and the task is now a migration rather than an eval. Rationale: ghostel is claude-code.el's most-faithful Claude TUI renderer and the fastest engine (81 vs vterm 34 vs eat 4.9 MB/s), and an audit confirmed it exposes an analog for every vterm primitive this config uses (=ghostel-send-string=, =ghostel-keymap-exceptions=, =ghostel-copy-mode=, =ghostel-clear-scrollback=, =ghostel-send-next-key=, =ghostel-next-prompt= / =ghostel-previous-prompt=, =ghostel-max-scrollback=, =ghostel-kill-buffer-on-exit=). eat's washed colors, the scroll-pop / stuck-input bug under Claude Code, and slowest throughput made it the weaker single-engine pick; one engine beats running two. Surface audited: 2 main modules (=vterm-config.el=, =ai-vterm.el=) + 4 satellites (=auto-dim-config.el= is the heavy one) + ~35 test files + init.el. Next: spike ghostel read-only to answer the open migration questions (auto-dim rework — ARCHITECTURE.md forbids the around-redraw color advice vterm uses; tmux pane-id via =process-tty-name= on a ghostel process; buffer naming; TTY-frame behavior; copy-mode keybinding parity), then write the migration spec under =docs/design/= and review it.
+
+*** 2026-06-04 Thu @ 23:17:54 -0500 Spec review: not ready until decisions and handoff shape are closed
+Ran the spec-review workflow against [[id:b54c94a0-d762-4b41-afd7-cf5593ce6675][docs/specs/vterm-to-ghostel-migration-spec-implemented.org]] and wrote a companion review file (incorporated and deleted 2026-06-04). Verdict: =Not ready=. Direction is sound, but the draft still has open D1-D5 decisions, lacks the workflow-required =Implementation phases= section and acceptance criteria, and needs explicit ghostel package/native-module failure behavior before implementation tasks can be emitted.
+
+*** 2026-06-04 Thu @ 23:24:28 -0500 Spec-response: review incorporated, raised to READY
+Folded the external review via spec-response. Craig accepted D1-D5; baked them plus D6 (module-failure = degrade-with-warning, modifying the reviewer's fail-loud) and D7 (=ghostel-max-scrollback= 10 MB) into a new Agreed-decisions section. Added Implementation phases (0-4), Acceptance criteria, Dependency/module-failure behavior, Test strategy, per-phase key/menu ownership, the tmux-suppression contract, and an Implementation-tasks drop-in block. Status DRAFT → READY; review file deleted. Build is now unblocked.
+
+*** 2026-06-04 Thu @ 23:30:18 -0500 External re-review: ready
+Re-reviewed [[id:b54c94a0-d762-4b41-afd7-cf5593ce6675][docs/specs/vterm-to-ghostel-migration-spec-implemented.org]] after incorporation. Verdict: =Ready=. No further blocking review notes; implementation can start from the phase plan and acceptance criteria in the spec.
+** DONE [#A] erc-yank silently publishes >5-line pastes as public gists :bug:quick:solo:
+CLOSED: [2026-06-20 Sat]
+Dropped erc-yank 2026-06-20 (Craig's call: drop, not harden). The package turned a >5-line paste into a PUBLIC gist (=gist -P=, the clipboard-paste flag, no =--private=) behind a single y-or-n-p, with no executable-find guard for =gist=. It also gisted the system clipboard rather than the kill-ring text being yanked. No replacement binding needed: =erc-mode-map= defines no C-y of its own, so removing the package lets C-y fall through to the ordinary global =yank=. Verified live: effective C-y in an ERC buffer = =yank=. (Audit's "no confirmation" was slightly off — the package did prompt — but public-by-default + one-keystroke confirm + no guard made dropping it the clean fix.)
