;;; ai-vterm.el --- In-Emacs Claude launcher with vertical-split vterm -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
;; Author: Craig Jennings <c@cjennings.net>
;;; Commentary:
;; Picks a Claude-template project (a dir under ~/.emacs.d, ~/code/*, or
;; ~/projects/* containing .ai/protocols.org), opens or reuses a vterm
;; buffer named "claude [<basename>]", sends Claude Code's startup
;; instruction to it, and routes the buffer to a right-side window via
;; display-buffer-alist. Multiple projects produce multiple coexisting
;; buffers that share the same right-side slot; switching among them is a
;; buffer-switch, not a kill-and-recreate.
;;
;; Existing windmove (Shift-arrows) handles code <-> Claude focus
;; toggling. Buffer-move (C-M-arrows) handles side-swap. Neither
;; needs anything new from this module.

The single rule routes any buffer whose name starts with \"claude [\"

in any window, focus that one.
2. `display-buffer-use-some-window' -- otherwise, reuse an existing
non-selected window (the right window of a left/right split, in
the typical layout).
3. `display-buffer-in-direction' -- otherwise, split the selected
window to the right at width `cj/ai-vterm-window-width'.
`display-buffer-in-side-window' is avoided deliberately. Side windows
enforce dedication, which breaks `buffer-move' (C-M-arrows) and
`switch-to-buffer' replacement. The chain above keeps the resulting
window an ordinary window so all the standard window commands work."
