Rename the library to wsap_vtcore

2026-10-15T10:04:01+00:00

ncurses installs and defines struct term. In a file that includes both headers, an ncurses TERMINAL * and this library's terminal are silently the same type. The name wsap_vtcore avoids the clash. The public header is now . Every global symbol uses the wsap_vtcore_ prefix, every macro uses WSAP_VTCORE_, and the shared library is libwsap_vtcore.so.0. The default terminal name is now "wsap_vtcore". The ISA override variable is WSAP_VTCORE_ISA. No other behavior changes. The amalgamation writes wsap_vtcore.c and wsap_vtcore.h.

Report selection allocation failure instead of truncating

2026-10-15T09:42:11+00:00

On a screen taller than 256 rows the selection's row list is allocated. When that failed, it fell back to the 256-entry stack array, so the selection and the snapshot's selection spans silently stopped at row 256 while every call still reported success. lines_init() now reports the failure. term_select_start() and term_select_extend() return false and leave the selection unchanged, term_snapshot_update() fails and keeps its previous content, and the text getters return NULL, as they do for their other allocations.

Reject a scrollback above TERM_SCROLLBACK_MAX

2026-10-15T09:40:44+00:00

term_new() silently cut a scrollback above 1000000 lines to 1000000. The limit now has a name in term.h, and term_new() returns NULL above it, as it does for the other invalid options. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Keep the snapshot unchanged when an update fails

2026-10-15T09:38:32+00:00

term_snapshot_update converted the viewport in place, so an allocation that failed midway left the snapshot empty and a renderer painted a blank frame. Split the update into two phases. Phase 1 makes every allocation the update needs and counts the arena words the converted rows add, then grows the arena once. Phase 2 writes the view, cells, keys, clusters, and selection, and cannot fail. A failed update now keeps the previous content, and a retry is an ordinary incremental update. invalidate() is removed. The term_snapshot_update comment and the correctness audit now say the snapshot keeps its previous content. The failure test fails each allocation in turn from the same starting state. After every failed call it compares the view, cells, row keys, selection spans, and cluster code points with the state before the call. A retry must succeed and match a fresh capture. The cases are a first update, a 32 by 16 screen of ZWJ families and regional-indicator flags (arena growth), a resize, a 300-row screen (scratch arrays), and a long scroll run.

Replace the writer spin lock with a blocking mutex

2026-10-15T09:37:10+00:00

term_write_begin spun on an atomic sequence word. A waiter burned CPU, and with no priority inheritance a SCHED_FIFO waiter could starve a preempted holder on the same CPU. The writer section is now a pthread mutex with PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT where the platform has it, and an SRWLOCK on Windows. Re-entry on the owning thread still only counts the depth. The platform wrapper (init, lock, unlock, destroy) is in compat.h. term_new initializes the mutex, and term_free destroys it. Meson links the thread library into the core, term_dep, and term_internal_dep. The README, term.h, and the amalgamation note say that POSIX needs -pthread. Tests: the feed and snapshot thread test now checks the final screen and history against a serial reference. A new test checks that term_lock nests and that another thread waits for the last term_unlock. Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 5.5
