phranck 6c1bda94bf Chore: Consolidate plans directory and standardize AI tool instructions
- Move all plans from plans/ to .claude/plans/ (41 files)
- Add open plans listing to whats-next.md for visibility
- Update docs pipeline (update-plans-data.ts) for new paths
- Rewrite .github/copilot-instructions.md with Swift 6.0 constraint
- Add CONTRIBUTING.md, PR template, AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules, .windsurfrules
- Update global references (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, project-structure.md)

# Contributing to TUIkit
TUIkit is a SwiftUI-like framework for building Terminal User Interfaces in pure Swift, with no ncurses or C dependencies. It targets SwiftUI API parity wherever possible.
## Hard Requirements (non-negotiable)
| Requirement | Details |
|-------------|---------|
| **Swift 6.0** | `swift-tools-version: 6.0`. Never use features from a newer compiler. |
| **Cross-platform** | Must build and run on both macOS and Linux. CI tests both (`macos-15` + `swift:6.0` container). |
| **CI must pass** | All tests and linting must pass before merge. |
## Build, Test & Lint
```bash
# Build
swift build
# Run all tests (1037+ tests, Swift Testing framework)
swift test
# Run a single test suite
swift test --filter <TestSuiteName>
# Lint
swiftlint
# Format (configured but not enforced in CI)
swift-format format -i -r Sources Tests
```
## Pull Request Requirements
1. Branch from `main`
2. Fill in the PR template completely
3. CI must be green (macOS + Linux)
4. No new SwiftLint warnings
5. Follow the architecture and API rules below
## Architecture
### SwiftUI API Parity
Public APIs **must** match SwiftUI signatures exactly unless terminal constraints require deviation (document why in comments).
| Aspect | Requirement |
|--------|-------------|
| Parameter names | Exact (`isPresented`, not `isVisible`) |
| Parameter order | Exact (title, binding, actions, message) |
| Parameter types | Match closely (ViewBuilder closures, not pre-built values) |
| Trailing closures | `@ViewBuilder () -> T`, not `String` |
**Before implementing any SwiftUI-equivalent API:** Look up the exact SwiftUI signature first.
### View Architecture
- Every **public** control must be a `View` with a real `body: some View`
- The `body` must return actual Views (not `Never`, not `fatalError()`)
- `Renderable` is only for leaf nodes (`Text`, `Spacer`, `Divider`) and private `_*Core` views
- All modifiers must propagate through the entire View hierarchy
- Environment values must flow down automatically
### General Principles
- No singletons
- Search the codebase for similar patterns before implementing anything new
- Consolidate and reuse before adding new functions or types
## Code Style
- Line length: 140 characters (warning), 200 (error)
- 4-space indentation
- Trailing commas in multi-line collections
- See `.swiftlint.yml` and `.swift-format` for full configuration
## Testing
- Uses Swift Testing framework (`@Test`, `#expect`, `@Suite`)
- Tests run in parallel
- Test files mirror source structure in `Tests/TUIkitTests/`
## Detailed Architecture Rules
For comprehensive architecture documentation including the `_*Core` pattern, focus system, state management, and interactive view rules, see [`.claude/CLAUDE.md`](.claude/CLAUDE.md).
