The FocusManager has a singleton defaultValue that persists across tests, causing test-order dependencies. Button instances register with the global FocusManager on render, polluting later tests that expect a fresh manager. Changed tests to use Text instead of Button for action content, eliminating the focus registration side-effect while still testing the presentation API. This fixes the CI failure on macOS where 'Default FocusManager is provided if not set' failed due to a previous test rendering buttons.

Schaut gut aus, aber die Dots sind nicht zueinander horiz. zentriert. Menno...
Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 10.1s)
Ja, das ist ein bekanntes Unicode-Problem — ●, • und · haben unterschiedliche Breiten und vertikale Positionen je nach Font. Das Terminal rendert die nicht auf einer gemeinsamen Baseline.
Bleiben wir bei einer einheitlichen Zeichenfamilie, wo alle Varianten dieselbe Metrik haben. Ein paar Optionen:
- Nur
●für alles — gleiche Baseline, Fade nur über Opacity - Braille-Punkte:
⠿→⠶→⠤→⠄→⠀— exakt gleiches Grid, perfekt aligned - Box-Drawing Dots:
┅oder╍— horizontale gestrichelte Linie, alle gleich hoch
Option 1 wäre am einfachsten — ein einziges Zeichen ● überall, der Fade-Effekt kommt rein durch die Farb-Opacity. Dann gibt's auch kein Alignment-Problem.
Was denkst du?

Der letzte Trail Dot sollte nicht dunkler sein als die Inaktiven
---
## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 9.2s)
Stimmt — der letzte Trail-Punkt hat `0.06`, die Inaktiven haben `0.15`. Das ist inkonsistent. Der Trail soll maximal bis zur Inactive-Opacity faden, nicht darunter.

00001| # Spinner View
00002|
00003| ## Completed
00004|
00005| Completed on 2026-02-02. All three styles implemented (dots, line, bouncing with fade trail). Time-based frame calculation, configurable speed/track width/trail length. Run loop upgraded to ~25 FPS.
00006|
00007| ## Goal
00008|
00009| Add an auto-animating `Spinner` view to TUIKit with three built-in styles: dots (braille rotation), line (ASCII rotation), and bouncing (Knight Rider / Larson scanner).
00010|
00011| ## API Design
00012|
00013| ```swift
00014| // Basic usage
00015| Spinner() // default: .dots
00016| Spinner(style: .line)
00017| Spinner(style: .bouncing)
00018|
00019| // With label
00020| Spinner("Loading...", style: .dots)
00021|
00022| // With custom interval
00023| Spinner(style: .dots, interval: 0.15)
00024|
00025| // With color
00026| Spinner(style: .bouncing, color: .cyan)
00027| ```
00028|
00029| ## Architecture
00030|
00031| ### Timer Strategy
00032|
00033| The main run loop polls at ~10 Hz (100ms VTIME on stdin). The Spinner uses the existing `LifecycleManager.startTask()` pattern (same as `TaskModifier`) to run a background async loop that mutates a `@State var frameIndex` on each tick. Each mutation triggers `setNeedsRender()` → re-render within ~100ms.
00034|
00035| Flow:
00036| ```
00037| Spinner.renderToBuffer()
00038| → lifecycle.recordAppear(token) — first appear only
00039| → lifecycle.startTask(token) — launches async loop:
00040| while !Task.isCancelled {
00041| RenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender()
00042| try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: interval)
00043| }
00044| → lifecycle.registerDisappear(token) — cancels task
00045| → Reads frameIndex from StateStorage, renders current frame
00046| ```
00047|
00048| ### Frame Index Persistence
00049|
00050| The Spinner needs a frame counter that survives view reconstruction. Since `Spinner` is a `Renderable` (body: Never), it cannot use `@State` (which requires self-hydrating init during body evaluation). Instead, the frame index is stored directly in `StateStorage` using the view's identity from `RenderContext`.
00051|
00052| ### SpinnerStyle
00053|
00054| ```swift
00055| public enum SpinnerStyle: Sendable {
00056| case dots // ⠋⠙⠹⠸⠼⠴⠦⠧⠇⠏
00057| case line // |/-\
00058| case bouncing // █ bounces over ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪
00059| }
00060| ```
00061|
00062| Each style provides:
00063| - `frames: [String]` — the animation frames
00064| - `interval: TimeInterval` — default tick interval (overridable)
00065|
00066| For `bouncing`:
00067| - Fixed track width (e.g. 7 dots)
00068| - Highlight block bounces left→right→left
00069| - Frames generated programmatically: position 0..6 forward, then 5..1 backward
00070|
00071| ### Spinner View Structure
00072|
00073| ```swift
00074| public struct Spinner: View {
00075| let label: String?
00076| let style: SpinnerStyle
00077| let interval: TimeInterval?
00078| let color: Color?
00079|
00080| var body: Never { fatalError() }
00081| }
00082|
00083| extension Spinner: Renderable {
00084| func renderToBuffer(context: RenderContext) -> FrameBuffer { ... }
00085| }
00086| ```
00087|
00088| ### Rendering
00089|
00090| - **dots/line:** Single character from the frame array, optionally colored, followed by label text
00091| - **bouncing:** A row of small squares `▪` with one or two large blocks `█` at the current bounce position, colored with the accent/custom color. Label follows after a space.
00092|
00093| Output examples:
00094| ```
00095| ⠹ Loading... (dots)
00096| / Loading... (line)
00097| ▪▪█▪▪▪▪ Loading... (bouncing)
00098| ```
00099|
00100| ## Implementation
00101|
00102| ### Phase 1: SpinnerStyle + Frame Generation
00103|
00104| - [ ] 1. Create `SpinnerStyle` enum with `dots`, `line`, `bouncing` cases
00105| - [ ] 2. Implement frame generation for each style
00106| - [ ] 3. Default intervals: dots 80ms, line 100ms, bouncing 120ms
00107|
00108| ### Phase 2: Spinner View + Rendering
00109|
00110| - [ ] 4. Create `Spinner` struct with label, style, interval, color properties
00111| - [ ] 5. Implement `Renderable` conformance — render current frame + label
00112| - [ ] 6. Implement lifecycle-based timer (startTask/cancelTask pattern)
00113| - [ ] 7. Frame index persistence via StateStorage
00114|
00115| ### Phase 3: Integration
00116|
00117| - [ ] 8. Add Spinner to Example App (new page or existing page)
00118| - [ ] 9. Write tests (frame generation, style properties, rendering output)
00119| - [ ] 10. Add DocC documentation
00120| - [ ] 11. Export public types in module
00121|
00122| ## Open Questions
00123|
00124| 1. ~~Track width for bouncing style~~ — 7 dots feels right for terminal. Configurable later if needed.
00125| 2. ~~Frame index storage~~ — Use StateStorage directly via RenderContext identity.
00126|

00003| ## Date
00004| 2026-02-02
00005|
00006| ## Last work context
00007| On branch `refactor/state-storage-identity`. PR #60 open. **424 tests pass, build clean.** Committed as `ff98220`.
00008|
00009| ### What was completed
00010|
00011| **Structural identity for `@State` — persistent state across view reconstruction.**
00012|
00013| SwiftUI-style structural identity so `@State` values survive full view-tree reconstruction on every render pass. State is keyed by `ViewIdentity` (path-based) and property index in a central `StateStorage`.
00014|
00015| #### Key approach: Self-hydrating init
00016| `@State.init` checks `StateRegistration.activeContext`. If present, it claims the next property index and retrieves a persistent `StateBox` from `StateStorage`. `RenderLoop` sets the root context before `app.body` evaluation. `renderToBuffer` saves/restores the context for nested composite views.
00017|
00018| Dead code from the failed Mirror-based approach (`hydrateState`, `_hydrateField`, `StateHydratable`) was removed.
00019|
00020| #### New types
00021| - `ViewIdentity` — path-based structural identity
00022| - `StateStorage` — central store with GC + branch invalidation
00023| - `StateBox<Value>` — reference-type wrapper with render notification
00024|
00025| #### Example App enhanced
00026| - `ButtonsPage`: `@State var clickCount`
00027| - `OverlaysPage`: `@State var showModal`
00028| - `ContainersPage`: `@State var showDetails`
00029|
00030| ## Architecture Summary
00031|
00032| ```
00033| RenderLoop.render()
00034| → Sets activeContext = root identity, counter = 0
00035| → app.body evaluates: WindowGroup { ContentView() }
00036| → ContentView.init: @State self-hydrates (root identity, index 0,1)
00037| → Clears activeContext
00038|
00039| renderToBuffer(ContentView, context)
00040| → Composite path:
00041| 1. Save previous context
00042| 2. Set activeContext = ContentView identity, counter = 0
00043| 3. Evaluate ContentView.body → children self-hydrate
00044| 4. Restore previous context
00045| 5. Mark identity active for GC
00046| ```
00047|
00048| ## Important decisions
00049| - **Self-hydrating init over Mirror:** Mirror + pointer offset hydration crashes at runtime (existential container size mismatch). Removed entirely.
00050| - **No Singletons** — project rule in `.claude/CLAUDE.md`.
00051| - **`@AppStorage` doesn't need hydration** — uses explicit string keys.
00052| - **State persistence** planned as separate feature (`plans/state-persistence.md`).
00053|
00054| ## Test counts
00055| - **424 tests in 73 suites** (12 new state identity tests)

00001| # TUIkit - Tasks & Feature Ideas
00002|
00003| ## In Progress
00004|
00005| - [ ] **Spinner** — PR #61 offen. Auto-animierender Spinner mit dots/line/bouncing Styles.
00006|
00007| ## Open Tasks
00008|
00009| ### New Components
00010|
00011| #### High Priority
00012|
00013| - [ ] **TextInput / TextField** — Einzeilige Texteingabe mit Cursor, Backspace, Delete, Scrolling bei Überlänge. Fehlt komplett, ist im Terminal aufwändig selbst zu bauen. Größter Impact für Endnutzer.
00014| - [ ] **Table** — Spaltenausrichtung mit ANSI-aware Padding. TUIkit hat `padToVisibleWidth` schon, eine Table-View wäre fast geschenkt. Jeder CLI-Entwickler braucht das.
00015|
00016| #### Medium Priority
00017|
00018| - [ ] **ProgressBar** — Prozentbalken mit Unicode-Blöcken (`▓░`). In GUIs trivial, im Terminal muss man das selbst bauen.
00019| - [ ] **Spinner** — PR #61. Drei Styles (dots, line, bouncing), konfigurierbar (Speed, Track Width, Trail Length).
00020| - [ ] **List (scrollbar)** — Scrollbare Liste mit Selektion für beliebige Views. `Menu` existiert schon, aber eine generische scrollbare Liste wäre der nächste Schritt.
00021| - [ ] **Checkbox / Toggle** — `[x]` / `[ ]` mit Keyboard-Toggle. Simpel, aber jeder braucht's.
00022|
00023| #### Low Priority
00024|
00025| - [ ] **Toast / Notification** — Temporäre Meldung, die nach X Sekunden verschwindet. Im Terminal gibt's kein natives Notification-System.
00026|
00027| ### Testing & Validation
00028|
00029| - [ ] **Mobile/Tablet Docs** — Landing Page + DocC auf mobilen Geräten testen
00030|
00031| ### Code Examples
00032|
00033| - [ ] **Counter App** — Create example: Simple counter app
00034| - [ ] **Todo List App** — Create example: Todo list app
00035| - [ ] **Form with Validation** — Create example: Form with validation
00036| - [ ] **Table/List View** — Create example: Table/list view
00037|
00038| ### Performance
00039|
00040| #### High Priority
00041|
00042| - [ ] **Render-Pipeline Optimierung** — View-Diffing, Dirty-Tracking, FrameBuffer-Caching. Aktuell wird bei jedem Frame der komplette View-Tree neu aufgebaut und gerendert. Verursacht sichtbares Ruckeln bei Animationen.
00043|
00044| ### Infrastructure
00045|
00046| - [ ] **Example App auslagern** — `TUIkitExample` in eigenes Repository (`TUIkit-Examples`) verschieben. Aktuell wird der Example-Quellcode bei jedem `swift package` Download mitgeklont, obwohl Consumer ihn nicht brauchen.
00047|
00048| - [ ] **GitHub → Codeberg Migration** — Über `gh2cb` Tool. CI wechselt von GitHub Actions zu Woodpecker CI (Linux only). DNS-Umstellung nötig.
00049|
00050| ### Documentation
00051|
00052| (keine offenen Docs-Tasks)
00053|
00054| ## Completed
00055|
00056| ### Landing Page (2026-02-02)
00057|
00058| - [x] **Terminal Script erweitern** — Mehr Szenen/Sequences in `terminal-script.md` hinzufügen (optional, aktueller Content ist komplett)
00059|
00060| ### Landing Page - 4th Optimization Pass + CRT Animations (2026-02-02)
00061|
00062| - [x] **Bug Fix: parseTerminalFormatting** — Variable `key` existierte nicht, muss `partKey` heißen. TypeScript kompilierte nicht.
00063| - [x] **ESLint Clean: 4 Errors → 0** — `setState-in-effect` in TerminalScreen (Cleanup-Pattern) und ThemeProvider (Hydration-Sync mit begründetem Suppress).
00064| - [x] **Auto Test Counts** — Prebuild-Script zählt `@Test`/`@Suite` im Swift-Projekt, speichert als `project-stats.json`, injiziert über `next.config.ts` als Env-Variablen. Nie wieder hardcoded.
00065| - [x] **ArchHighlight Sub-Komponente** — 4× dupliziertes Architecture-Card-Pattern in `page.tsx` eliminiert.
00066| - [x] **Button-Klassen-Konstanten** — `BTN_PRIMARY`/`BTN_SECONDARY` statt 2× copy-paste.
00067| - [x] **CRT Geometry Object** — Layer-Positionen (`calc()` Strings) in `CRT` Konstante zentralisiert.
00068| - [x] **13 Magic Numbers → Konstanten** — Cursor-Blink, Glitch-Timings, Fade-Duration, Output-Delay etc. in TerminalScreen.
00069| - [x] **Icon-System erweitert** — Custom-SVG-Support neben SF Symbols (`copy` Icon). PackageBadge nutzt jetzt `<Icon name="copy">`.
00070| - [x] **cloudGradient() Helper** — 6× duplizierte radial-gradient-Strings in CloudBackground vereinheitlicht.
00071| - [x] **HIGHLIGHT Konstanten** — Hardcoded Hex-Farben in CodePreview als benanntes Objekt.
00072| - [x] **text-glow CSS Utility** — Duplizierter textShadow in TerminalScreen + PackageBadge durch `@utility text-glow` ersetzt.
00073| - [x] **CRT Shutdown Animation** — Vertikaler Collapse → horizontaler Collapse → Phosphor-Afterglow-Punkt. Authentische CRT-Physik.
00074| - [x] **CRT Boot Animation** — Horizontale Linie expandiert vertikal (Deflection Warm-Up). brightness(3) → normal.
00075| - [x] **Edge Glow nur bei Power-On** — Layer 3 boxShadow prüft `powered && !shutdownPhase`.
00076| - [x] **Content-Flash Fix** — `powered=false` wird jetzt sofort gesetzt, bevor `shutdownPhase` cleared wird.
00077| - [x] **Initial Cursor Delay** — Von 18s auf 1.5s reduziert.
00078| - [x] **ThemeProvider Regression Fix** — Lazy-init brach Hydration. Zurück zu `null`-Init + useEffect.
00079|
00080| ### Landing Page - Terminal Markdown Fixes (2026-02-02)
00081|
00082| - [x] **Terminal Markdown Parser Fix** — Bold `**` matched nicht mehr fälschlicherweise in `***` (negative lookahead/lookbehind). Underline `__TEXT __` funktioniert jetzt mit trailing Spaces (komplette Zeile unterstrichen).
00083| - [x] **Smart HTML Tag Typing** — `typeSystem()` Funktion in TerminalScreen.tsx parst HTML-Tags und tippt nur sichtbaren Text char-by-char (40-70ms delay), während Tags instant erscheinen. Verhindert, dass User unvollständige Tags sieht.
00084| - [x] **Dokumentation erweitert** — Terminal Script System, Audio System (Howler.js), Parser-Regeln, Smart Typing in `.claude/memory.md` dokumentiert.
00085|
00086| ### Interactive Playground (2026-02-01)
00087|
00088| - [x] **Abandoned** — Nach vollständiger Implementierung von Phases 1-3 (TS Rendering Engine, Parser, Integration) entschieden: Zu viel Aufwand für minimalen User-Benefit. ~4500 Zeilen Code, Browser-Rendering-Issues, useEffect-Loops, Merge-Conflicts. Branch `feat/landing-page` gelöscht. Landing Page bleibt wie sie ist.

00201|
00202| ## Notes
00203|
00204| ### Why DocC (final choice)
00205|
00206| - Native Swift documentation — auto-generates API docs from code comments
00207| - Apple standard for Swift packages
00208| - `swift-docc-plugin` integrates cleanly with SPM
00209| - Requires `theme-settings.json` workaround for GitHub Pages (injected via CI)
00210|
00211| ### Why not VitePress/MkDocs
00212|
00213| - Redundant when DocC provides Swift-native API documentation
00214| - DocC auto-documents all public types, protocols, functions from source
00215|
00216| ### Landing Page Architecture
00217|
00218| - Next.js 16 + React 19 + Tailwind CSS 4 + TypeScript 5
00219| - Built and deployed via CI (`build-docs` job) — kein lokaler Build nötig
00220| - Landing Page Output wird in DocC Output gemergt (Landing Page → `/`, DocC → `/documentation/tuikit`)
00221| - Custom domain: tuikit.layered.work mit CNAME in CI gesetzt

## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 50.8s)
Gut, jetzt aktualisiere ich alle drei Dateien:
Tool: edit
Input:
{
"filePath": "/Users/phranck/Developer/Projects/Private/TUIKit/plans/2026-02-02-spinner-view.md",
"oldString": "# Spinner View\n\n## Completed\n\nCompleted on 2026-02-02. All three styles implemented (dots, line, bouncing with fade trail). Time-based frame calculation, configurable speed/track width/trail length. Run loop upgraded to ~25 FPS.\n\n## Goal\n\nAdd an auto-animating `Spinner` view to TUIKit with three built-in styles: dots (braille rotation), line (ASCII rotation), and bouncing (Knight Rider / Larson scanner).\n\n## API Design\n\n```swift\n// Basic usage\nSpinner() // default: .dots\nSpinner(style: .line)\nSpinner(style: .bouncing)\n\n// With label\nSpinner(\"Loading...\", style: .dots)\n\n// With custom interval\nSpinner(style: .dots, interval: 0.15)\n\n// With color\nSpinner(style: .bouncing, color: .cyan)\n```\n\n## Architecture\n\n### Timer Strategy\n\nThe main run loop polls at ~10 Hz (100ms VTIME on stdin). The Spinner uses the existing `LifecycleManager.startTask()` pattern (same as `TaskModifier`) to run a background async loop that mutates a `@State var frameIndex` on each tick. Each mutation triggers `setNeedsRender()` → re-render within ~100ms.\n\nFlow:\n```\nSpinner.renderToBuffer()\n → lifecycle.recordAppear(token) — first appear only\n → lifecycle.startTask(token) — launches async loop:\n while !Task.isCancelled {\n RenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender()\n try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: interval)\n }\n → lifecycle.registerDisappear(token) — cancels task\n → Reads frameIndex from StateStorage, renders current frame\n```\n\n### Frame Index Persistence\n\nThe Spinner needs a frame counter that survives view reconstruction. Since `Spinner` is a `Renderable` (body: Never), it cannot use `@State` (which requires self-hydrating init during body evaluation). Instead, the frame index is stored directly in `StateStorage` using the view's identity from `RenderContext`.\n\n### SpinnerStyle\n\n```swift\npublic enum SpinnerStyle: Sendable {\n case dots // ⠋⠙⠹⠸⠼⠴⠦⠧⠇⠏\n case line // |/-\\\n case bouncing // █ bounces over ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪\n}\n```\n\nEach style provides:\n- `frames: [String]` — the animation frames\n- `interval: TimeInterval` — default tick interval (overridable)\n\nFor `bouncing`:\n- Fixed track width (e.g. 7 dots)\n- Highlight block bounces left→right→left\n- Frames generated programmatically: position 0..6 forward, then 5..1 backward\n\n### Spinner View Structure\n\n```swift\npublic struct Spinner: View {\n let label: String?\n let style: SpinnerStyle\n let interval: TimeInterval?\n let color: Color?\n\n var body: Never { fatalError() }\n}\n\nextension Spinner: Renderable {\n func renderToBuffer(context: RenderContext) -> FrameBuffer { ... }\n}\n```\n\n### Rendering\n\n- **dots/line:** Single character from the frame array, optionally colored, followed by label text\n- **bouncing:** A row of small squares `▪` with one or two large blocks `█` at the current bounce position, colored with the accent/custom color. Label follows after a space.\n\nOutput examples:\n```\n⠹ Loading... (dots)\n/ Loading... (line)\n▪▪█▪▪▪▪ Loading... (bouncing)\n```\n\n## Implementation\n\n### Phase 1: SpinnerStyle + Frame Generation\n\n- [ ] 1. Create `SpinnerStyle` enum with `dots`, `line`, `bouncing` cases\n- [ ] 2. Implement frame generation for each style\n- [ ] 3. Default intervals: dots 80ms, line 100ms, bouncing 120ms\n\n### Phase 2: Spinner View + Rendering\n\n- [ ] 4. Create `Spinner` struct with label, style, interval, color properties\n- [ ] 5. Implement `Renderable` conformance — render current frame + label\n- [ ] 6. Implement lifecycle-based timer (startTask/cancelTask pattern)\n- [ ] 7. Frame index persistence via StateStorage\n\n### Phase 3: Integration\n\n- [ ] 8. Add Spinner to Example App (new page or existing page)\n- [ ] 9. Write tests (frame generation, style properties, rendering output)\n- [ ] 10. Add DocC documentation\n- [ ] 11. Export public types in module\n\n## Open Questions\n\n1. ~~Track width for bouncing style~~ — 7 dots feels right for terminal. Configurable later if needed.\n2. ~~Frame index storage~~ — Use StateStorage directly via RenderContext identity.",
"newString": "# Spinner View\n\n## Completed\n\nCompleted on 2026-02-02. PR #61 merged.\n\nThree styles (dots, line, bouncing Knight Rider with ● dot fade trail). Simplified API: `Spinner(\"Label\", style: .bouncing, color: .green)`. Fixed calibrated intervals, 9-position track with 2-position edge overshoot for smooth trail fade-in/out. Run loop upgraded to ~25 FPS (VTIME=0 + usleep 40ms).\n\n### Final API\n\n```swift\nSpinner() // default: .dots\nSpinner(\"Loading...\", style: .line)\nSpinner(\"Processing...\", style: .bouncing, color: .cyan)\n```\n\n### Key Design Decisions\n\n- **Radically simplified API** — Removed `SpinnerSpeed`, `BouncingTrackWidth`, `BouncingTrailLength` enums. One init with 3 parameters.\n- **Uniform dot character (●)** — All track positions use the same character. Visual distinction comes purely from opacity fade. Avoids Unicode alignment issues between different dot characters.\n- **Edge overshoot (2 positions)** — Highlight travels from -2 to trackWidth+1, so the trail fades smoothly at edges instead of being cut off.\n- **6-step trail** — Opacities: [1.0, 0.75, 0.5, 0.35, 0.22, 0.15]. Last step matches inactive dot opacity (0.15) for seamless blend.\n- **Fixed intervals** — Dots: 110ms, Line: 140ms, Bouncing: 100ms. Calibrated by user testing.\n- **Time-based frames** — Frame index calculated from elapsed time, not counter-based. Prevents drift.\n- **VTIME=0 run loop** — Non-blocking stdin read + usleep(40ms) for ~25 FPS. Benefits all future animations.\n\n## Goal\n\nAdd an auto-animating `Spinner` view to TUIKit with three built-in styles: dots (braille rotation), line (ASCII rotation), and bouncing (Knight Rider / Larson scanner).\n\n## Architecture\n\n### Timer Strategy\n\nThe run loop uses non-blocking stdin (VTIME=0) with usleep(40ms) polling (~25 FPS). The Spinner uses `LifecycleManager.startTask()` to run a background async loop that calls `setNeedsRender()` at 40ms intervals. The actual animation speed is determined by time-based frame index calculation, not the trigger interval.\n\n### Frame Index Persistence\n\nThe Spinner stores its start time in `StateStorage` using the view's identity from `RenderContext`. Frame index is calculated from elapsed time divided by the style's interval.\n\n### Rendering\n\n- **dots/line:** Single character from the frame array, colored, followed by optional label\n- **bouncing:** 9 ● dots with opacity fade trail. Highlight bounces with 2-position overshoot at edges.\n\n## Implementation\n\n- [x] 1. Create `SpinnerStyle` enum with `dots`, `line`, `bouncing` cases\n- [x] 2. Implement frame generation with bounce positions and edge overshoot\n- [x] 3. Fixed intervals: dots 110ms, line 140ms, bouncing 100ms\n- [x] 4. Create `Spinner` struct with label, style, color properties\n- [x] 5. Implement `Renderable` conformance with time-based frame calculation\n- [x] 6. Implement lifecycle-based timer (startTask/cancelTask pattern)\n- [x] 7. Start time persistence via StateStorage\n- [x] 8. Add Spinner to Example App (SpinnersPage)\n- [x] 9. Write tests (frame generation, bounce positions, rendering output)\n- [x] 10. Add DocC topic entry\n- [x] 11. Simplify API (remove speed/track/trail enums)\n- [x] 12. Switch to uniform ● dot character with opacity-only fade\n- [x] 13. Add edge overshoot for smooth trail fade at track edges"

## TUIKit Infrastructure Analysis for Toast/Notification View
### 1. Overlay System
**Key file:** `Sources/TUIkit/Modifiers/OverlayModifier.swift`
The overlay system is straightforward and directly usable:
- `OverlayModifier<Base, Overlay>` is a `View` + `Renderable` that renders both the base and overlay into separate `FrameBuffer`s, then composites them using `FrameBuffer.composited(with:at:)`.
- It supports `Alignment` (all 9 positions: topLeading, top, topTrailing, leading, center, trailing, bottomLeading, bottom, bottomTrailing) for positioning the overlay within the base's bounds.
- The `.overlay(alignment:content:)` extension on `View` (in `View+Layout.swift`) is the public API.
- The `.modal()` convenience method (in `View+Convenience.swift`) combines `.dimmed()` + `.overlay(alignment: .center)`.
**Critical detail for Toast:** `OverlayModifier` composites the overlay *within the base's rendered bounds*. This means the base must be large enough (e.g. `frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity)`) to position a toast at the bottom or top edge. The overlay itself does not render "outside" the base buffer.
`FrameBuffer.composited(with:at:)` does character-level compositing -- it strips ANSI from the base for accurate column offsets, then inserts the overlay with its ANSI codes intact. This handles all styling correctly.
### 2. Alert/Dialog Pattern
**Key files:** `Sources/TUIkit/Views/Alert.swift`, `Sources/TUIkit/Views/Dialog.swift`, `Sources/TUIkit/Views/ContainerView.swift`
Alert and Dialog are **not** presented via a special system -- they are plain `View` + `Renderable` types that the user manually composes with `.dimmed()` + `.overlay()`:
```swift
// Typical usage pattern (from OverlaysPage.swift):
backgroundContent
.dimmed()
.overlay {
Alert(title: "Alert", message: "...") {
Button("Dismiss") { showModal = false }
}
}
The visibility is controlled by @State in the caller:
if showModal {
content.dimmed().overlay { Alert(...) }
} else {
content
}
Both Alert and Dialog delegate to renderContainer() which creates a ContainerView (header/body/footer architecture with borders). They support preset styles via static methods: .warning(), .error(), .info(), .success() -- each with distinct border and title colors.
Key takeaway: There is no framework-level presentation system (no showAlert(), no presentation stack). Everything is purely declarative view composition. A Toast should follow the same pattern.
3. LifecycleManager Timer/Task System
Key file: Sources/TUIkit/Environment/TUIContext.swift
LifecycleManager (owned by TUIContext, threaded through RenderContext) provides:
startTask(token:priority:operation:)-- Starts aTask<Void, Never>keyed by a string token. Cancels any existing task for that token first.cancelTask(token:)-- Cancels and removes the task.recordAppear(token:action:)-- Tracks first-appearance; returnstrueon first call.registerDisappear(token:action:)-- Registers a callback fired when the token is no longer seen in a render pass.beginRenderPass()/endRenderPass()-- Called byRenderLoopper frame;endRenderPassfires disappear callbacks for tokens not seen this pass.
All mutable state is protected by NSLock. Tasks are @Sendable () async -> Void.
For auto-dismiss timing: A Toast can use startTask to sleep for N seconds, then set @State isPresented = false, then call RenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender() to trigger a re-render. On disappear, cancelTask cleans up.
4. Spinner's Lifecycle Task Usage
Key file: Sources/TUIkit/Views/Spinner.swift
The Spinner is the best reference implementation for a timed view:
- Generates a unique
tokenininit:"spinner-\(UUID().uuidString)" - In
renderToBuffer, on first appearance (!lifecycle.hasAppeared(token)):- Records appearance via
lifecycle.recordAppear(token:) - Starts a background task via
lifecycle.startTask(token:priority:)that loops withTask.sleep(nanoseconds: 40_000_000)and callsRenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender()each tick
- Records appearance via
- Registers disappear cleanup:
lifecycle.registerDisappear(token:) { lifecycle.cancelTask(token:) } - Uses
StateStoragefor persistent start time (survives re-renders) - Calculates frame index from elapsed time (time-based, not tick-based)
Key pattern for Toast: Instead of looping, a Toast would sleep once for the dismiss duration, then mutate state. The RenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender() call is the mechanism to trigger a re-render from an async task.
5. Layout Primitives
Key files: Sources/TUIkit/Views/Stacks.swift, Sources/TUIkit/Modifiers/FrameModifier.swift
Available layout tools:
VStack(alignment:spacing:)-- Vertical layout with.leading/.center/.trailingalignment. SupportsSpacerfor distributing remaining height.HStack(alignment:spacing:)-- Horizontal layout with.top/.center/.bottomalignment. SupportsSpacerfor distributing remaining width.ZStack(alignment:)-- Z-axis layering usingFrameBuffer.overlay()(line-level replacement).Alignmentstruct with 9 presets (topLeading through bottomTrailing)..frame(width:height:alignment:)-- Fixed size with alignment within the frame..frame(minWidth:maxWidth:minHeight:maxHeight:alignment:)-- Flexible constraints..infinityfills available space..padding(_:)/.padding(_:_:)-- Edge insets.Spacer(minLength:)-- Fills remaining space in stacks.
For Toast positioning: Use .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) on the base content, then .overlay(alignment: .bottom) (or .top) with the toast content. The toast itself can use .frame(width:) for fixed width and HStack+Spacer for horizontal centering.
6. StatusBar Positioning
Key files: Sources/TUIkit/StatusBar/StatusBar.swift, Sources/TUIkit/App/RenderLoop.swift
The StatusBar uses a completely separate rendering path, not the overlay system:
RenderLoop.render()calculatescontentHeight = terminal.height - statusBarHeight- The main scene is rendered with
availableHeight: contentHeight(StatusBar height is subtracted) - After the main scene,
renderStatusBar(atRow:)renders the StatusBar with its ownRenderContextatterminal.height - statusBarHeight + 1 - The StatusBar is never affected by
.dimmed()because it is rendered separately after the scene
This pattern is NOT applicable to Toast. The StatusBar is special infrastructure baked into the render loop. A Toast should live inside the view tree, using the overlay system.
Summary: Recommendations for Toast Implementation
Reusable Patterns and Types
| Existing Type/Pattern | Reuse For Toast |
|---|---|
OverlayModifier + .overlay(alignment:) |
Positioning toast over content (use .bottom or .top alignment) |
LifecycleManager.startTask/cancelTask |
Auto-dismiss timer (sleep then flip @State) |
RenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender() |
Trigger re-render from async dismiss task |
ContainerConfig + ContainerView |
Toast box rendering (border, background, padding) |
Alert preset pattern (.warning(), .error(), .success(), .info()) |
Toast severity styles with matching colors |
Spinner token pattern (UUID in init) |
Lifecycle token for each toast instance |
DimmedModifier |
Optional dimming under toast (probably not needed) |
FlexibleFrameView + .frame() |
Toast width constraints |
Alignment |
9-position placement options |
Color palette system (.palette.accent, .palette.border, etc.) |
Theme-aware toast colors |
Recommended Integration Approach
A .toast() view modifier is the cleanest approach, combining:
- A
Toastview (likeAlert-- aView+Renderablewith preset styles) - A
ToastModifierthat wraps the base content with overlay + auto-dismiss logic - A
.toast()extension onViewas the public API
The modifier approach is best because:
- It mirrors the existing
.overlay()/.modal()pattern - It can encapsulate the auto-dismiss timer internally (the user does not need to manage it)
- It keeps the
@State isPresentedbinding pattern consistent with Alert/Dialog - It can use
.overlay(alignment: .bottom)or.overlay(alignment: .top)internally
Sketch of the API
// Usage:
content
.toast(isPresented: $showToast, style: .success, duration: 3.0) {
"Operation completed successfully"
}
// Or with preset:
content
.toast(isPresented: $showError, style: .error, message: "Failed to save")

Rendering System Limitations
-
No animation/transition support. Toasts will appear and disappear instantly -- no fade-in/out, no slide. The rendering system writes complete frames; there is no interpolation between states. (The Spinner fakes animation by cycling frames at ~25 FPS, but this is frame replacement, not transition.)
-
Overlay size is bounded by base.
OverlayModifiercomposites within the base's bounds. If the base content is smaller than the terminal, the toast placement options are limited. The base content must fill the available area (via.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity)) for bottom/top alignment to work as expected. -
No z-ordering priority. All overlays are simple buffer compositing. If multiple overlays exist (e.g., a toast AND a modal dialog), the last one rendered wins at overlapping positions. The toast modifier should be applied outermost (after
.modal()if both are present) to remain visible. -
StatusBar occupies terminal rows. The content area is
terminal.height - statusBarHeight. A toast at.bottomalignment will appear just above the StatusBar, which is actually the correct visual behavior. -
No per-character transparency.
FrameBuffer.composited(with:at:)replaces entire overlay lines -- it does not blend characters. Overlay lines fully replace base lines in their region. This is fine for opaque toast boxes but means no semi-transparent effects. -
Re-render is full-frame.
RenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender()triggers a complete re-render of the entire view tree. There is no partial/dirty-region update. This is acceptable -- the auto-dismiss timer only needs to fire once (not continuously like Spinner).

Gute Analyse. Hier ist mein Vorschlag für die Toast-API:
// Einfach:
content.toast("Saved!", isPresented: $showToast)
// Mit Style:
content.toast("Failed to save", isPresented: $showError, style: .error)
// Mit Dauer:
content.toast("Done!", isPresented: $showDone, style: .success, duration: 3.0)
Kernidee:
.toast()View-Modifier — kapselt Overlay + Auto-Dismiss-TimerToastStyleEnum:.info,.success,.warning,.error(mit passenden Farben)- Timeout-gesteuert: nach X Sekunden setzt der Timer
isPresented = false - Positionierung über
.overlay(alignment: .bottom)innerhalb des Content-Bereichs (über StatusBar)
Einschränkungen: Kein Fade-In/Out (kein Transition-System vorhanden), erscheint/verschwindet instant. Kein Stacking mehrerer Toasts.

## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 33.3s)
Stimmt, du hast Recht! Wir haben RGB-Farben mit `Color.opacity()` und können die Opacity über mehrere Frames interpolieren — genau wie der Spinner seine Dots mit unterschiedlichen Opacities rendert.
Für Fade-In/Out brauchen wir keinen Transitions-Mechanismus — wir können einfach einen Timer-Task nutzen, der über ~10 Frames die Text-Opacity von 0→1 (Fade-In) bzw. 1→0 (Fade-Out) hochzählt und jedes Mal `setNeedsRender()` aufruft. Der Toast speichert seinen aktuellen Opacity-Wert in `StateStorage`, genau wie der Spinner seine Startzeit.
**Phasen:** Fade-In (~200ms) → Sichtbar (duration) → Fade-Out (~300ms) → `isPresented = false`
Lass mich den Plan schreiben und dann loslegen.

"content": "# Toast View\n\n## Goal\n\nAdd a `.toast()` view modifier to TUIKit that shows a temporary notification message with auto-dismiss, fade-in/fade-out animation, and preset severity styles.\n\n## API Design\n\n```swift\n// Simple usage\ncontent.toast(\"Saved!\", isPresented: $showToast)\n\n// With style\ncontent.toast(\"Failed to save\", isPresented: $showError, style: .error)\n\n// With custom duration\ncontent.toast(\"Done!\", isPresented: $showDone, style: .success, duration: 5.0)\n\n// With alignment\ncontent.toast(\"Info\", isPresented: $show, style: .info, alignment: .top)\n```\n\n### Parameters\n\n- `message: String` — the toast text\n- `isPresented: Binding<Bool>` — controls visibility; auto-set to `false` after dismiss\n- `style: ToastStyle` — visual preset (default: `.info`)\n- `duration: TimeInterval` — how long the toast stays visible (default: 3.0)\n- `alignment: Alignment` — where to position the toast (default: `.bottom`)\n\n### ToastStyle\n\n```swift\npublic enum ToastStyle {\n case info // accent color\n case success // green\n case warning // yellow\n case error // red\n}\n```\n\nEach style provides a border color and an optional icon/prefix character.\n\n## Architecture\n\n### Animation via Opacity Interpolation\n\nThe toast uses the same lifecycle task pattern as Spinner, but instead of cycling frames, it interpolates an opacity value across three phases:\n\n1. **Fade-In** (~200ms, ~5 frames at 40ms): opacity 0.0 → 1.0\n2. **Visible** (duration seconds): opacity 1.0, no task needed\n3. **Fade-Out** (~300ms, ~8 frames at 40ms): opacity 1.0 → 0.0\n4. **Dismiss**: set `isPresented = false`\n\nThe current phase and start time are stored in `StateStorage`. A lifecycle task runs at 40ms intervals (matching the run loop), calculates the current opacity from elapsed time, and calls `setNeedsRender()`.\n\nAll text rendering goes through `ANSIRenderer.colorize()` which supports `Color.opacity()` — this gives us smooth fading using the existing RGB color system.\n\n### Rendering\n\nThe toast is rendered as a bordered single-line (or multi-line) box:\n\n```\n┌─────────────────────┐\n│ ✓ Operation saved! │\n└─────────────────────┘\n```\n\nOr minimal (no border, just colored text with background):\n\n```\n ✓ Operation saved! \n```\n\nPositioned via `.overlay(alignment:)` on the base content.\n\n### State Management\n\nThe `ToastModifier` is a `Renderable` that manages:\n- A lifecycle token (UUID-based) for the animation task\n- StateStorage entries for: phase enum, phase start time, current opacity\n- The `Binding<Bool>` for isPresented — flipped to `false` after fade-out completes\n\n### Integration with Existing Systems\n\n| Component | How Used |\n|---|---|\n| `OverlayModifier` / `.overlay()` | Positioning toast over content |\n| `LifecycleManager.startTask/cancelTask` | Animation timer + auto-dismiss |\n| `RenderNotifier.setNeedsRender()` | Trigger re-render during animation |\n| `StateStorage` | Persist animation phase/timing across renders |\n| `ContainerView` / `renderContainer()` | Toast box rendering (border + padding) |\n| `Color.opacity()` + `ANSIRenderer.colorize()` | Fade effect |\n| `Binding<Bool>` | isPresented control |\n\n## Implementation\n\n### Phase 1: Toast View + Style\n\n- [ ] 1. Create `ToastStyle` enum with `.info`, `.success`, `.warning`, `.error`\n- [ ] 2. Create `Toast` view (bordered box with icon + message, color from style)\n- [ ] 3. Support opacity parameter for fade rendering\n\n### Phase 2: ToastModifier + Animation\n\n- [ ] 4. Create `ToastModifier` with lifecycle task for fade animation\n- [ ] 5. Implement three-phase animation (fade-in → visible → fade-out → dismiss)\n- [ ] 6. Store animation state in StateStorage\n- [ ] 7. Flip `isPresented` binding to false after fade-out\n\n### Phase 3: Public API + Integration\n\n- [ ] 8. Add `.toast()` extension on `View`\n- [ ] 9. Add Toast to Example App (SpinnersPage or new ToastsPage)\n- [ ] 10. Write tests\n- [ ] 11. Add DocC topic entry\n\n## Open Questions\n\n1. **Border or borderless?** Bordered box (like Alert) or minimal colored background strip?\n2. **Icon characters?** `✓` success, `⚠` warning, `✕` error, `ℹ` info — or simpler?\n3. **Max width?** Fixed width or auto-sized to message length?\n"

Ok, ich warte. Sag Bescheid wenn's weitergehen soll.

## User
Schreib den Plan und leg ihn in `plans` ab. Bevor wir weiter Controls und Komponenten einbauen, wollten wir uns dem Thema Performance widmen. Du meintest, das betraefe den kompletten Render-Cycle, weil eben nicht immer der ganze Screen, sondern nur dirty Bereiche neu gezeichnet werden sollen. Genauso, wie das SwiftUI eben auch macht. Ich denke, das sollten wir zuerst angehen. Das ist ein so wichtiges Basisgeruest!
---
## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 250.4s)
Du hast absolut Recht. Jede neue Komponente die wir bauen wird auf dem kaputten Fundament noch mehr ruckeln. Das muss zuerst gelöst werden.
Lass mich erstmal den aktuellen Render-Cycle im Detail verstehen, bevor ich den Plan schreibe.

# TUIKit Render Pipeline -- Complete Analysis
## 1. ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
The render pipeline follows this overall flow:
Trigger (signal/state mutation) → AppRunner.run() main loop detects dirty flag → RenderLoop.render() → Clear per-frame state → Build EnvironmentValues → Evaluate App.body → Scene (WindowGroup) → WindowGroup.renderScene() → renderToBuffer() (free function) — recursive tree traversal → Renderable.renderToBuffer(context:) [primitive views] → view.body recursion [composite views] → Produces FrameBuffer (array of String lines with ANSI codes) → Write FrameBuffer line-by-line to terminal via POSIX write() → End lifecycle tracking → Render status bar separately
---
## 2. THE MAIN LOOP (AppRunner.run())
**File:** `Sources/TUIkit/App/App.swift`, lines 111-157
### Setup Phase (once)
signals.install() → SIGINT/SIGWINCH handlers set global bools terminal.enterAlternateScreen() → writes ESC[?1049h terminal.hideCursor() → writes ESC[?25l terminal.enableRawMode() → VMIN=0, VTIME=0 (non-blocking) RenderNotifier.current = appState → connects @State mutations to AppState appState.observe { signals.requestRerender() } → state changes → rerender flag renderer.render() → initial render
### Polling Loop (every 40ms)
```swift
while isRunning {
if signals.shouldShutdown { break }
if signals.consumeRerenderFlag() || appState.needsRender {
appState.didRender()
renderer.render() // ← FULL RENDER
}
if let keyEvent = terminal.readKeyEvent() {
inputHandler.handle(keyEvent)
}
usleep(40_000) // 40ms sleep = ~25 FPS maximum
}
Trigger Mechanism -- How re-renders happen
There are exactly three triggers for a render:
-
SIGWINCH (terminal resize): The POSIX signal handler sets
signalNeedsRerender = true. The main loop'sconsumeRerenderFlag()reads and resets this. -
@State mutation:
StateBox.value.didSetcallsRenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender()which callsAppState.setNeedsRender()which (a) setsneedsRender = trueand (b) calls the observer callback which callssignals.requestRerender()setting the globalsignalNeedsRerender = true. -
Other AppState mutations:
StatusBarStateandThemeManagerhold a direct reference toAppStateand callsetNeedsRender()directly.
The check is consumeRerenderFlag() || appState.needsRender. Both paths converge to the same effect: renderer.render() is called. There is no partial invalidation. Every trigger causes a complete re-render of the entire view tree.
Input Handling vs Rendering -- The sequence matters
Input is read after the render check, within the same loop iteration. A key press that mutates @State sets the rerender flag, but the actual render happens on the next loop iteration (40ms later at most). There is always a one-frame delay between state mutation and visual update.
Iteration N:
- consumeRerenderFlag() → false, needsRender → false → skip render
- readKeyEvent() → key press → handler mutates @State → sets needsRender=true
- usleep(40ms)
Iteration N+1:
- consumeRerenderFlag() → true → render()
- readKeyEvent() → nil
- usleep(40ms)
3. RenderLoop.render() -- THE FRAME
File: Sources/TUIkit/App/RenderLoop.swift, lines 72-127
Step-by-step for one frame:
Step 1: Clear per-frame state
tuiContext.keyEventDispatcher.clearHandlers() // all onKeyPress handlers rebuilt each frame
tuiContext.preferences.beginRenderPass() // preference values reset
focusManager.clear() // focus state rebuilt each frame
Every frame destroys and rebuilds all key event handlers, preferences, and focus state. There is no persistence of these across frames.
Step 2: Begin lifecycle and state tracking
tuiContext.lifecycle.beginRenderPass() // clears currentRenderTokens set
tuiContext.stateStorage.beginRenderPass() // clears activeIdentities set (keeps values dict)
beginRenderPass() on StateStorage clears the activeIdentities set but keeps all stored values. This is preparation for garbage collection at end-of-frame.
Step 3: Calculate available height
let statusBarHeight = statusBar.height
let contentHeight = terminal.height - statusBarHeight
terminal.height calls ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, ...) every time. This is a syscall per frame. terminal.width does the same. These are not cached.
Step 4: Build EnvironmentValues
let environment = buildEnvironment()
buildEnvironment() creates a fresh EnvironmentValues struct every frame, populating it with status bar state, focus manager, palette manager, current palette, appearance manager, and current appearance. This is a value type with 6+ properties copied.
Step 5: Create RenderContext
let context = RenderContext(
terminal: terminal,
availableWidth: terminal.width, // another ioctl syscall
availableHeight: contentHeight,
environment: environment,
tuiContext: tuiContext
)
RenderContext is a struct. It is copied every time it is passed down the tree (each withChildIdentity call creates a full copy). For a tree of depth N, there are N RenderContext copies per leaf.
Step 6: Set up hydration context and evaluate App.body
let rootIdentity = ViewIdentity(rootType: A.self)
StateRegistration.activeContext = HydrationContext(
identity: rootIdentity,
storage: tuiContext.stateStorage
)
StateRegistration.counter = 0
let scene = app.body // ← CREATES ENTIRE Scene STRUCT FROM SCRATCH
StateRegistration.activeContext = nil
tuiContext.stateStorage.markActive(rootIdentity)
app.body is a computed property. Evaluating it constructs the WindowGroup struct and its content closure fresh every frame. The WindowGroup's content closure runs, constructing the user's ContentView (which is a new struct allocation). @State properties self-hydrate via StateRegistration.activeContext so their values survive.
Step 7: Render the scene
renderScene(scene, context: context.withChildIdentity(type: type(of: scene)))
This calls WindowGroup.renderScene() via the SceneRenderable protocol bridge.
Step 8: End lifecycle and state tracking
tuiContext.lifecycle.endRenderPass() // fires onDisappear for removed views
tuiContext.stateStorage.endRenderPass() // removes state for views no longer in tree
endRenderPass() on StateStorage iterates all stored keys, checking if each identity is in the active set. Keys not seen are removed. This is O(N) where N is total stored state entries.
Step 9: Render status bar
if statusBar.hasItems {
renderStatusBar(atRow: terminal.height - statusBarHeight + 1)
}
The status bar is rendered completely separately from the main content. It gets its own buildEnvironment() call (second one per frame), its own RenderContext, and its own renderToBuffer tree traversal.
4. WindowGroup.renderScene() -- FROM SCENE TO TERMINAL
File: Sources/TUIkit/App/App.swift, lines 194-229
This is the critical bridge from the Scene hierarchy to actual terminal output:
extension WindowGroup: SceneRenderable {
func renderScene(context: RenderContext) {
let buffer = renderToBuffer(content, context: context) // ← full tree traversal
let terminal = context.terminal
let terminalWidth = terminal.width // ← ioctl syscall
let terminalHeight = context.availableHeight
let bgColor = context.environment.palette.background
let bgCode = ANSIRenderer.backgroundCode(for: bgColor)
let reset = ANSIRenderer.reset
for row in 0..<terminalHeight {
terminal.moveCursor(toRow: 1 + row, column: 1)
if row < buffer.lines.count {
let line = buffer.lines[row]
let visibleWidth = line.strippedLength // ← regex per line per frame
let padding = max(0, terminalWidth - visibleWidth)
let lineWithBg = line.replacingOccurrences(of: reset, with: reset + bgCode)
let paddedLine = bgCode + lineWithBg
+ String(repeating: " ", count: padding) + reset
terminal.write(paddedLine)
} else {
let emptyLine = bgCode
+ String(repeating: " ", count: terminalWidth) + reset
terminal.write(emptyLine)
}
}
}
}
Terminal output is LINE-BY-LINE, FULL SCREEN, EVERY FRAME
Key observations:
-
Every line of the terminal is rewritten every frame. Lines 207-227 iterate
0..<terminalHeight, writing every row regardless of whether it changed. -
Cursor positioning per line: Each line starts with
moveCursor(toRow:column:), which writes a\e[row;1Hsequence. That is one write syscall per line just for cursor positioning. -
ANSI reset replacement: For every line,
replacingOccurrences(of: reset, with: reset + bgCode)is called. This is a full string scan and copy. For a 50-line terminal with content on 30 lines, that is 30 regex-backedstrippedLengthcalls + 30replacingOccurrencescalls + 50 line writes. -
Empty lines below content are filled with background-colored spaces. The entire terminal is always fully painted.
-
No buffering of terminal output. Each
terminal.write()call goes through the POSIXwrite(STDOUT_FILENO, ...)syscall directly. For a 50-line terminal, that is at least 100 syscalls per frame (50 cursor moves + 50 line writes).
5. renderToBuffer() -- THE VIEW TREE TRAVERSAL
File: Sources/TUIkit/Rendering/Renderable.swift, lines 206-248
This is the single entry point for all view rendering. Every recursive call passes through this function.
func renderToBuffer<V: View>(_ view: V, context: RenderContext) -> FrameBuffer {
// Priority 1: Direct rendering
if let renderable = view as? Renderable {
return renderable.renderToBuffer(context: context)
}
// Priority 2: Composite view — recurse into body
if V.Body.self != Never.self {
let childContext = context.withChildIdentity(type: V.Body.self)
// Save/restore hydration context for nested composite views
let previousContext = StateRegistration.activeContext
let previousCounter = StateRegistration.counter
StateRegistration.activeContext = HydrationContext(
identity: context.identity,
storage: context.tuiContext.stateStorage
)
StateRegistration.counter = 0
let body = view.body // ← constructs new view structs
StateRegistration.activeContext = previousContext
StateRegistration.counter = previousCounter
context.tuiContext.stateStorage.markActive(context.identity)
return renderToBuffer(body, context: childContext)
}
// Priority 3: Empty fallback
return FrameBuffer()
}
Per-node allocations (composite view path):
For every composite view (non-Renderable) visited:
withChildIdentity(type:)-- copies entireRenderContextstruct + allocates newViewIdentity(String concatenation)- Creates a
HydrationContextstruct - Evaluates
view.body-- constructs new child view struct(s) markActive()-- inserts intoSet<ViewIdentity>(potential hash allocation)- Recursive
renderToBuffercall
For every Renderable (primitive) view visited:
as? Renderableprotocol check (existential cast)renderToBuffer(context:)-- creates a newFrameBuffer(heap allocation for[String])
The as? Renderable check
This existential cast happens for every node in the tree. Swift performs a runtime protocol conformance lookup. It is fast (cached by the runtime), but it happens at every level of recursion.
6. FrameBuffer -- THE RENDERING PRIMITIVE
File: Sources/TUIkit/Rendering/FrameBuffer.swift
Structure
public struct FrameBuffer {
public var lines: [String] // ← heap-allocated array of heap-allocated strings
}
This is the sole data structure for rendered output. It is a value type wrapping a heap-allocated array of heap-allocated strings. Each string may contain ANSI escape codes interleaved with visible text.
Computed properties (called frequently)
public var width: Int {
lines.map { $0.strippedLength }.max() ?? 0 // ← O(lines * chars), regex per line
}
width is computed every time it is accessed, scanning every line and running the ANSI regex on each. This is called during:
appendHorizontally(line 86:let myWidth = width)composited(with:at:)(lines 134-135:max(width, ...))- VStack alignment (line 248:
infos.compactMap(\.buffer).map(\.width).max()) - HStack layout (line 302:
infos.compactMap(\.buffer).reduce(0) { $0 + $1.width })
Combining operations -- allocations per operation
appendVertically: Appends to the lines array. If spacing > 0, inserts empty strings. This is O(N) where N is the number of lines in other. The array may reallocate.
appendHorizontally: Creates an entirely new [String] result array. For each row, it calls padToVisibleWidth(myWidth) which:
- Calls
strippedLength(regex) - If padding needed, creates a new String via concatenation
This produces maxHeight new String allocations plus the result array.
overlay (ZStack): Creates a new result array of maxHeight strings. Each string is either from the overlay or the base -- no concatenation, but a new array allocation.
composited(with:at:): The most expensive. For each row, it calls padToVisibleWidth(resultWidth) on the base, then insertOverlay which:
- Strips all ANSI from the base (
Array(base.stripped)) - Strips ANSI from overlay
- Builds a result string via 3-4 concatenations
7. VStack / HStack -- LAYOUT CONTAINERS
File: Sources/TUIkit/Views/Stacks.swift
VStack.renderToBuffer(context:)
func renderToBuffer(context: RenderContext) -> FrameBuffer {
let infos = resolveChildInfos(from: content, context: context)
// ... spacer calculation ...
let maxWidth = infos.compactMap(\.buffer).map(\.width).max() ?? 0 // ← regex on EVERY line of EVERY child
var result = FrameBuffer()
for (index, info) in infos.enumerated() {
// ... alignment + appendVertically ...
}
return result
}
Allocations for a VStack with N children:
resolveChildInfos-- creates NChildInfostructs and NFrameBuffers (one per child, each with its own[String]).compactMap(\.buffer)-- intermediate array.map(\.width)-- regex on every line of every child buffer- For each child:
alignBuffer(if needed) creates a newFrameBufferwith new aligned strings - N calls to
appendVertically(array appends, potential reallocation)
HStack.renderToBuffer(context:)
Same pattern but uses appendHorizontally which is much more expensive -- creates new strings per row with padding calculations and regex calls.
resolveChildInfos -- the ChildInfoProvider bridge
File: Sources/TUIkit/Rendering/ViewRenderer.swift, lines 98-103
func resolveChildInfos<V: View>(from content: V, context: RenderContext) -> [ChildInfo] {
if let provider = content as? ChildInfoProvider {
return provider.childInfos(context: context)
}
return [makeChildInfo(for: content, context: context)]
}
If the content is a TupleView (which conforms to ChildInfoProvider), it renders each child individually. Otherwise, it renders the content as a single child. Each makeChildInfo call invokes renderToBuffer recursively.
TupleView.childInfos -- parameter pack iteration
func childInfos(context: RenderContext) -> [ChildInfo] {
var infos: [ChildInfo] = []
repeat infos.append(
makeChildInfo(
for: each children,
context: context.withChildIdentity(type: type(of: each children), index: infos.count)
)
)
return infos
}
For each child in the parameter pack: copies the entire RenderContext, builds a new ViewIdentity (String concatenation), renders the child (full subtree traversal), creates a ChildInfo.
8. ANSIRenderer -- COLOR AND STYLE OUTPUT
File: Sources/TUIkit/Rendering/ANSIRenderer.swift
How colorization works
static func render(_ text: String, with style: TextStyle) -> String {
let codes = buildStyleCodes(style) // allocates [String] array
if codes.isEmpty { return text }
let styleSequence = "\(csi)\(codes.joined(separator: ";"))m" // string interpolation + join
return "\(styleSequence)\(text)\(reset)" // string interpolation (3 allocations)
}
For every styled piece of text:
buildStyleCodescreates a[String]array and appends 1-7 code stringscodes.joined(separator:)allocates a new string- The return value uses string interpolation -- 2 more allocations
For foreground colors specifically:
- Standard: 1 code (
"31") - Bright: 1 code (
"91") - 256 palette: 3 codes (
"38", "5", "index") - RGB: 5 codes (
"38", "2", "r", "g", "b")
The regex -- the hot path
static nonisolated(unsafe) let ansiRegex = /\u{1B}\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z]/
This compiled regex is used by String.stripped and String.strippedLength. It is compiled once (good), but strippedLength is called:
- Every time
FrameBuffer.widthis computed - During
padToVisibleWidth - During
appendHorizontally(per line) - During
WindowGroup.renderScene(per line per frame) - During
RenderLoop.renderStatusBar(per line per frame) - During VStack alignment (per line per child)
- During HStack width calculation
For a moderately complex UI with 30 visible lines, strippedLength could be called 200+ times per frame.
9. Terminal -- THE OUTPUT MECHANISM
File: Sources/TUIkit/Rendering/Terminal.swift
Raw mode configuration
func enableRawMode() {
raw.c_lflag &= ~(ECHO | ICANON | ISIG | IEXTEN) // no echo, no line buffering, no signals
raw.c_iflag &= ~(IXON | ICRNL | BRKINT | INPCK | ISTRIP)
raw.c_oflag &= ~(OPOST) // no output processing
raw.c_cflag |= CS8
// VMIN=0, VTIME=0: non-blocking read
}
With OPOST disabled, the terminal does no output translation. \n does NOT produce \r\n -- cursor positioning is entirely manual via ANSI escape codes.
The write mechanism
func write(_ string: String) {
string.utf8CString.withUnsafeBufferPointer { buffer in
let count = buffer.count - 1 // exclude null terminator
buffer.baseAddress!.withMemoryRebound(to: UInt8.self, capacity: count) { pointer in
var written = 0
while written < count {
let result = Foundation.write(STDOUT_FILENO, pointer + written, count - written)
if result <= 0 { break }
written += result
}
}
}
}
Key observations:
- Uses POSIX
write()directly toSTDOUT_FILENO. Bypassesstdoutentirely (avoids Swift 6 Sendable issues with Glibc'sstdoutglobal). - Each
write()call converts the Swift String to a C string (utf8CString), which allocates a temporary buffer. - The write loop handles partial writes correctly.
- There is no output buffering. Each
terminal.write()call results in an immediate syscall. Noflush()method exists because there is no buffer to flush.
Terminal size -- ioctl every call
var width: Int { getSize().width }
var height: Int { getSize().height }
func getSize() -> (width: Int, height: Int) {
var windowSize = winsize()
let result = ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, &windowSize)
// ...
}
width and height are computed properties that call ioctl every single time. In a single frame, terminal.width is called at least 3 times (RenderLoop context creation, WindowGroup.renderScene, status bar rendering) and terminal.height at least 2 times.
10. @State AND RenderNotifier -- THE MUTATION-TO-RENDER CHAIN
File: Sources/TUIkit/State/State.swift and Sources/TUIkit/State/StateStorage.swift
The complete chain from mutation to re-render
User code: self.count += 1
→ State<Int>.wrappedValue.set
→ StateBox<Int>.value.didSet
→ RenderNotifier.current.setNeedsRender()
→ AppState.setNeedsRender()
→ needsRender = true
→ observers[0]() // the callback registered by AppRunner
→ signals.requestRerender()
→ signalNeedsRerender = true // global flag
Then on the next loop iteration:
consumeRerenderFlag() → reads signalNeedsRerender → true → returns true, resets to false
→ OR appState.needsRender → true
→ appState.didRender() → needsRender = false
→ renderer.render() ← FULL FRAME
State persistence: ViewIdentity + StateStorage
ViewIdentity is a string path: "MyApp/WindowGroup<ContentView>/ContentView/VStack.0/Text.0"
Each @State property gets a StateKey = (ViewIdentity, propertyIndex). The StateBox (reference type) is stored in StateStorage.values: [StateKey: AnyObject].
On every frame:
beginRenderPass()clearsactiveIdentitiesset- As each composite view is visited,
markActive(identity)adds to the set endRenderPass()iterates all keys invalues, removes any whose identity is not in the active set
This is the garbage collection mechanism. It is O(total stored state entries) per frame.
Self-hydrating init
public init(wrappedValue: Value) {
self.defaultValue = wrappedValue
if let context = StateRegistration.activeContext {
let index = StateRegistration.counter
StateRegistration.counter += 1
let key = StateStorage.StateKey(identity: context.identity, propertyIndex: index)
self.box = context.storage.storage(for: key, default: wrappedValue)
} else {
self.box = StateBox(wrappedValue)
}
}
When a view struct is reconstructed (every frame), @State.init runs. If a hydration context is active, it looks up the existing StateBox from StateStorage by key. The StateBox is a reference type, so the same object is reused. The view struct is new, but the StateBox inside it points to the same persistent storage.
11. COMPLETE PER-FRAME ALLOCATION INVENTORY
For a simple app with VStack { Text("Hello"); Text("World") }:
View struct allocations (rebuilt every frame)
- 1 WindowGroup struct
- 1 ContentView struct (user's view)
- 1 VStack struct
- 1 TupleView struct (from @ViewBuilder)
- 2 Text structs
RenderContext copies
- 1 root context
- 1 for WindowGroup.renderScene (withChildIdentity)
- 1 for VStack (renderToBuffer dispatch)
- 1 per child of TupleView (2 children = 2 copies)
- 1 per Text (renderToBuffer dispatch)
- Total: ~6 RenderContext struct copies minimum
ViewIdentity string allocations
- 1 root identity
- 1 per identity extension (child, branch) -- at least 5-6 for this tree
- Each is a new String via concatenation
FrameBuffer allocations
- 1 per Text (single-line buffer)
- 1 for TupleView (vertically stacking)
- 1 for VStack (alignment + combining)
- 1 for the final result from WindowGroup
- Each FrameBuffer contains a
[String](heap-allocated array)
String allocations in terminal output
- 1
ANSIRenderer.backgroundCodecall - Per line:
strippedLength(regex, new string),replacingOccurrences(new string), padding string, concatenation of final padded line - Per empty line: background + spaces + reset
- Total for 50-line terminal: ~200+ string allocations
EnvironmentValues
- 2 per frame (one for content, one for status bar)
- Each is a struct with 6+ properties copied
ANSI regex calls
strippedLengthinFrameBuffer.width: once per line per buffer that computes widthstrippedLengthin WindowGroup.renderScene: once per content linepadToVisibleWidth: once per line in HStack, alignment- Conservative estimate for this simple app: 15-20 regex evaluations per frame
12. BOTTLENECK ANALYSIS
Bottleneck 1: Full tree reconstruction (HIGH impact)
Every frame reconstructs the entire view tree from App.body down. All view structs, TupleViews, Stacks, modifiers, and leaf views are created fresh. For a complex app with 100+ views, this is 100+ struct allocations plus all the @ViewBuilder closures re-executing.
Why it matters: Not just the allocation cost -- every body property is re-evaluated, which may involve conditional logic, state reads, and closure captures.
Bottleneck 2: String/ANSI operations (HIGH impact)
strippedLength uses regex to strip ANSI codes. This is called dozens to hundreds of times per frame. padToVisibleWidth and replacingOccurrences create new strings. In the terminal output phase, every single line goes through regex + string replacement + concatenation.
Why it matters: Strings are heap-allocated in Swift. Each concatenation or replacing creates a new allocation. The regex, while precompiled, still needs to scan the full string.
Bottleneck 3: Full-screen terminal write (MEDIUM impact)
Every frame rewrites every line of the terminal, even if nothing changed. For a 50-row terminal, that is 50 cursor-move writes + 50 line writes = 100 POSIX write() syscalls. Each write converts a Swift String to a C string (temporary allocation).
Why it matters: Syscalls are expensive (~100ns each). 100 syscalls per frame = ~10us just in kernel transitions. The real cost is the string-to-cstring conversion per write.
Bottleneck 4: FrameBuffer.width computed property (MEDIUM impact)
width scans all lines with regex every time it is accessed. VStack alignment calls .width on every child buffer. HStack calls .width on every child. A VStack with 10 children, each having 3 lines, triggers 30 regex evaluations just for width calculation.
Why it matters: This is repeatedly recomputed. A simple cache would eliminate all of it.
Bottleneck 5: ioctl syscalls for terminal size (LOW impact)
terminal.width and terminal.height each call ioctl every time. Called 5+ times per frame. Trivially cacheable -- only changes on SIGWINCH.
13. HOW THE CURRENT SYSTEM DECIDES "WHAT TO RENDER"
Answer: Everything, every frame.
There is zero dirty tracking. The decision tree is:
Is signalNeedsRerender || appState.needsRender?
YES → render ENTIRE tree, write EVERY line to terminal
NO → skip frame entirely
There is no concept of:
- "Which view changed?" -- irrelevant, all are rebuilt
- "Which lines changed?" -- irrelevant, all are rewritten
- "Which region of the screen is dirty?" -- irrelevant, full screen repaint
- "Can we reuse the previous FrameBuffer?" -- no, all are freshly created
14. DATA STRUCTURES NEEDED FOR DIRTY TRACKING
To implement partial updates, the following would need to change:
1. FrameBuffer diffing
Store the previous frame's FrameBuffer (or the final line array). On the next frame, compare line-by-line. Only write lines that differ. This alone eliminates ~90% of terminal writes for idle UI.
Change: Add previousLines: [String] to RenderLoop or WindowGroup.renderScene. After computing the new buffer, diff against previous and only write changed lines.
2. Cached terminal size
Store width/height, invalidate on SIGWINCH only.
Change: Add cachedWidth: Int and cachedHeight: Int to Terminal. Set in enableRawMode() and on SIGWINCH. Replace computed properties with stored properties.
3. Cached FrameBuffer.width
Store the width when lines are modified, not on every access.
Change: Add a private var cachedWidth: Int? to FrameBuffer. Invalidate on any mutation of lines. Return cached value from width if available.
4. View tree diffing (advanced, SwiftUI-like)
Instead of reconstructing the entire tree, compare the new tree with the old one and only re-render subtrees where inputs changed. This requires:
- A persistent view tree (not reconstructed each frame)
- Identity-based comparison (ViewIdentity already exists)
- Dependency tracking for @State (which views read which state)
5. Batched terminal output
Accumulate all output into a single buffer string, then write once.
Change: Replace per-line terminal.write() calls with appending to a String or [UInt8] buffer, then call write(STDOUT_FILENO, ...) once at the end.
15. HOW SWIFTUI SOLVES THIS (AND WHAT IS APPLICABLE TO TUI)
SwiftUI's approach
-
Attribute Graph: SwiftUI does not reconstruct the view tree. It maintains a persistent graph of "attributes" (state, derived values, view bodies). When @State changes, the graph knows exactly which
bodyproperties depend on it and only re-evaluates those. -
View diffing: When a
bodyis re-evaluated, SwiftUI diffs the old and new results structurally. Only changed subtrees are re-rendered. Unchanged subtrees reuse their previous rendering. -
Dirty regions: The rendering backend (Core Animation / Metal) tracks dirty rectangles. Only the affected screen region is recomposed and redrawn.
-
Identity-based stability: Views are identified by their position in the view tree (structural identity) or by explicit
id()modifiers. This determines whether a view is "the same" across updates.
What is directly applicable to TUIKit
Easy wins (low effort, high impact):
-
Line-level diffing: Store previous frame's lines. Compare per-line, write only changed lines. This is by far the highest ROI change. For a mostly-static UI, this eliminates >90% of terminal writes.
-
Batched terminal output: Concatenate all output into one string, write once. Reduces syscalls from ~100 to 1 per frame.
-
Cache FrameBuffer.width: Store width alongside lines. Invalidate on mutation. Eliminates hundreds of regex calls per frame.
-
Cache terminal size: Store width/height, update only on SIGWINCH. Eliminates 5+ ioctl syscalls per frame.
Medium effort (moderate impact):
-
Subtree memoization: If a view's inputs (state, environment) have not changed, return the previous FrameBuffer without re-rendering. Requires tracking which inputs each view reads. Could be done with a simple hash of (ViewIdentity, relevant state values).
-
FrameBuffer pooling: Reuse FrameBuffer arrays across frames instead of allocating fresh ones. A pool of pre-allocated
[String]arrays.
Hard (high effort, transformative impact):
-
Attribute graph / dependency tracking: Track which @State values each view reads. On mutation, mark only dependent views as dirty. Skip rendering clean subtrees entirely. This is the SwiftUI approach and requires fundamental architecture changes.
-
Incremental rendering: Instead of producing a complete FrameBuffer and then writing it, render directly to a diff buffer that tracks changes from the previous frame. Views that have not changed produce no output.
16. SUMMARY: THE COMPLETE RENDER CYCLE
TRIGGER:
@State mutation / SIGWINCH / ThemeManager.cycleNext()
→ AppState.setNeedsRender()
→ signals.requestRerender()
DETECTION (within 40ms):
AppRunner.run() loop iteration
→ consumeRerenderFlag() == true || appState.needsRender == true
FRAME START:
RenderLoop.render()
→ Clear key handlers, preferences, focus (destroyed and rebuilt per frame)
→ beginRenderPass() on lifecycle + stateStorage
ENVIRONMENT:
→ buildEnvironment() → fresh EnvironmentValues struct
TREE CONSTRUCTION:
→ Set hydration context for @State self-hydration
→ app.body (computed property) → WindowGroup<ContentView>
→ ContentView() constructed fresh (but @State boxes reused via hydration)
TREE TRAVERSAL:
→ WindowGroup.renderScene(context:)
→ renderToBuffer(content, context:)
→ For each node:
→ Is Renderable? → call renderToBuffer(context:) → returns FrameBuffer
→ Is composite? → save hydration, evaluate body, recurse
→ Is dead end? → return empty FrameBuffer()
→ Stacks: resolveChildInfos → render each child → combine buffers
→ TupleView: iterate parameter pack → render each → stack vertically
→ Result: single FrameBuffer with all rendered lines
TERMINAL OUTPUT:
→ For EVERY row 0..<terminalHeight:
→ moveCursor(toRow: 1+row, column: 1) → POSIX write()
→ If row has content:
→ strippedLength (regex)
→ replacingOccurrences (string scan + copy)
→ String concatenation (bg + content + padding + reset)
→ terminal.write() → POSIX write()
→ If empty row:
→ bgCode + spaces + reset → terminal.write()
FRAME END:
→ lifecycle.endRenderPass() → fire onDisappear for removed views
→ stateStorage.endRenderPass() → GC unused state entries
STATUS BAR:
→ buildEnvironment() again
→ renderToBuffer(StatusBar(...)) → separate tree traversal
→ Write status bar lines with background fill (same per-line mechanism)
SLEEP:
→ usleep(40_000) → yield CPU until next iteration
Total per-frame cost summary (approximate for a 30-view, 50-line terminal):
| Category | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| View struct allocations | ~30 | Every view rebuilt |
| FrameBuffer allocations | ~15 | One per leaf + one per container |
| RenderContext copies | ~30 | One per tree traversal step |
| ViewIdentity strings | ~30 | One per identity extension |
| ANSI regex evaluations | ~100-200 | strippedLength + width |
| String allocations (output) | ~150+ | Padding, bg replacement, concatenation |
| POSIX write() syscalls | ~100 | 50 cursor moves + 50 line writes |
| ioctl() syscalls | ~5 | Terminal size queries |
| Total heap allocations | ~400+ | Per frame, for a small app |

"content": "# Render Pipeline Optimization\n\n## Problem\n\nEvery frame in TUIKit reconstructs the entire view tree, re-renders every view into fresh FrameBuffers, and rewrites every terminal line — regardless of whether anything changed. This causes visible stuttering/jerkiness in animations (Spinner) and will get worse as the UI grows.\n\n### Current per-frame cost (for a 30-view app on a 50-line terminal)\n\n| Category | Count | Notes |\n|---|---|---|\n| View struct allocations | ~30 | Every view rebuilt from scratch |\n| FrameBuffer allocations | ~15 | One per leaf + one per container |\n| RenderContext copies | ~30 | Struct copy per tree traversal step |\n| ViewIdentity string allocations | ~30 | String concatenation per identity |\n| ANSI regex evaluations | ~100–200 | `strippedLength` + `width` calls |\n| String allocations (terminal output) | ~150+ | Padding, bg replacement, concatenation |\n| POSIX `write()` syscalls | ~100 | 50 cursor moves + 50 line writes |\n| `ioctl()` syscalls | ~5 | Terminal size queries |\n| **Total heap allocations** | **~400+** | Per frame, every 40ms |\n\n### Root causes\n\n1. **Full tree reconstruction** — `App.body` is evaluated every frame. Every view struct, TupleView, Stack, and modifier is created fresh. Every `@ViewBuilder` closure re-executes.\n2. **Full screen repaint** — `WindowGroup.renderScene` writes every terminal line every frame via individual POSIX `write()` calls, even if nothing changed.\n3. **Uncached computed properties** — `FrameBuffer.width` runs the ANSI regex on every line every time it's accessed. Called hundreds of times per frame.\n4. **Uncached terminal size** — `terminal.width`/`height` call `ioctl()` every time (~5× per frame).\n5. **No output buffering** — Each terminal line produces 2 `write()` syscalls (cursor move + content). No batching.\n6. **Redundant string operations** — Every content line goes through regex stripping, `replacingOccurrences`, padding concatenation.\n\n## Goal\n\nReduce per-frame work to only what actually changed. The render pipeline should:\n\n1. Detect which terminal lines changed and only write those\n2. Cache stable values (terminal size, FrameBuffer width)\n3. Batch terminal output into a single write\n4. (Future) Skip subtree rendering when inputs haven't changed\n\n## Architecture\n\n### What SwiftUI does (for reference)\n\nSwiftUI maintains a persistent **Attribute Graph** that tracks dependencies between state and view bodies. When `@State` changes, only the dependent `body` properties are re-evaluated. A structural diff determines which subtrees changed. Only dirty screen regions are redrawn.\n\n### What's applicable to TUIKit (incremental approach)\n\nWe adopt a **phased approach** — each phase is independently valuable and shippable:\n\n1. **Phase 1: Line-level diffing** — highest ROI. Store previous frame, only write changed lines. Eliminates >90% of terminal writes for mostly-static UI.\n2. **Phase 2: Output buffering** — batch all terminal output into one `write()` call.\n3. **Phase 3: Caching** — cache `FrameBuffer.width`, terminal size, avoid redundant regex.\n4. **Phase 4: Subtree memoization** — skip re-rendering subtrees whose inputs haven't changed.\n\nPhase 1–3 are mechanical optimizations that don't change the architecture. Phase 4 is the structural change toward SwiftUI-style incremental rendering.\n\n## Detailed Design\n\n### Phase 1: Line-Level Diffing\n\n**Concept:** After producing the new frame's FrameBuffer, compare each line with the previous frame. Only write lines that differ. For a mostly-static UI (e.g. menu + spinner), only 1–3 lines change per frame instead of 50+.\n\n**Implementation:**\n\n```swift\n// In WindowGroup.renderScene() or RenderLoop\nvar previousFrame: [String] = [] // stored between frames\n\nfunc writeFrame(_ buffer: FrameBuffer, terminal: Terminal) {\n let newLines = buildOutputLines(buffer) // includes bg, padding, ANSI\n \n for row in 0..<terminalHeight {\n let newLine = row < newLines.count ? newLines[row] : emptyLine\n if row >= previousFrame.count || previousFrame[row] != newLine {\n terminal.moveCursor(toRow: 1 + row, column: 1)\n terminal.write(newLine)\n }\n }\n \n previousFrame = newLines\n}\n```\n\n**Key decisions:**\n- Compare the **final output strings** (with ANSI codes), not stripped text. This is a simple `==` comparison, O(1) amortized for equal strings (Swift uses hash-based comparison for long strings).\n- Store `previousFrame` in `RenderLoop` (not global, injected via constructor — no singletons).\n- On terminal resize (SIGWINCH), invalidate the entire previous frame to force a full repaint.\n- The status bar gets its own `previousStatusBarLines` for independent diffing.\n\n**Expected impact:** For a UI with a single animating Spinner and 45 static lines, this reduces terminal writes from ~100 to ~6 per frame (3 spinner lines × 2 writes each). **~94% reduction in syscalls.**\n\n### Phase 2: Output Buffering\n\n**Concept:** Instead of calling `terminal.write()` per line, accumulate all output into a single `[UInt8]` buffer and write once.\n\n**Implementation:**\n\n```swift\n// New method on Terminal\nfunc writeBuffered(_ chunks: [(row: Int, content: String)]) {\n var buffer: [UInt8] = []\n buffer.reserveCapacity(chunks.count * 120) // estimate ~120 bytes per line\n \n for chunk in chunks {\n // Append cursor move escape sequence\n let move = \"\\u{1B}[\\(chunk.row);1H\"\n buffer.append(contentsOf: move.utf8)\n // Append content\n buffer.append(contentsOf: chunk.content.utf8)\n }\n \n buffer.withUnsafeBufferPointer { ptr in\n guard let base = ptr.baseAddress else { return }\n var written = 0\n while written < ptr.count {\n let result = Foundation.write(STDOUT_FILENO, base + written, ptr.count - written)\n if result <= 0 { break }\n written += result\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Key decisions:**\n- Use `[UInt8]` not `String` to avoid repeated UTF-8 encoding.\n- Single `write()` syscall instead of ~100.\n- `reserveCapacity` to avoid array reallocations.\n- Combines well with Phase 1: only changed lines go into the buffer.\n\n**Expected impact:** Reduces POSIX `write()` syscalls from ~100 (or ~6 after Phase 1) to **1 per frame**. Eliminates per-line String→CString conversion overhead.\n\n### Phase 3: Caching\n\nThree independent caches:\n\n#### 3a: Terminal size cache\n\n```swift\n// Terminal.swift\nprivate var cachedSize: (width: Int, height: Int)?\n\nvar width: Int { (cachedSize ?? refreshSize()).width }\nvar height: Int { (cachedSize ?? refreshSize()).height }\n\nfunc invalidateSize() { cachedSize = nil } // called on SIGWINCH\nprivate func refreshSize() -> (width: Int, height: Int) {\n var ws = winsize()\n ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, &ws)\n let size = (width: Int(ws.ws_col), height: Int(ws.ws_row))\n cachedSize = size\n return size\n}\n```\n\n**Impact:** Eliminates ~5 `ioctl()` syscalls per frame.\n\n#### 3b: FrameBuffer width cache\n\n```swift\npublic struct FrameBuffer {\n public var lines: [String] {\n didSet { cachedWidth = nil }\n }\n private var cachedWidth: Int?\n \n public var width: Int {\n mutating get {\n if let cached = cachedWidth { return cached }\n let computed = lines.map { $0.strippedLength }.max() ?? 0\n cachedWidth = computed\n return computed\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Problem:** `FrameBuffer` is a value type. The `mutating get` won't work when accessed on a `let` binding. \n\n**Alternative:** Compute width eagerly in `appendVertically`/`appendHorizontally` and store it. Or use a reference-type wrapper for the cache.\n\n**Better approach:** Store width as a simple stored property that is updated by the mutation methods. No computed property at all:\n\n```swift\npublic struct FrameBuffer {\n public private(set) var lines: [String]\n public private(set) var width: Int\n \n mutating func appendVertically(_ other: FrameBuffer, spacing: Int = 0) {\n // ... existing logic ...\n width = max(width, other.width)\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Impact:** Eliminates ~100–200 regex evaluations per frame. This is likely the single biggest CPU win after line diffing.\n\n#### 3c: Pre-computed `strippedLength` on output lines\n\nDuring `WindowGroup.renderScene`, each content line goes through `strippedLength` (regex) + `replacingOccurrences` + padding. We can pre-compute the stripped length when the FrameBuffer is built, avoiding the regex in the output phase entirely.\n\nThis is a natural extension of 3b — if `FrameBuffer` tracks `width`, individual line lengths could be tracked too.\n\n### Phase 4: Subtree Memoization (Future)\n\n**Concept:** If a view's inputs (state values, environment) haven't changed since the last frame, return the cached FrameBuffer without re-rendering the subtree.\n\n**This is the hard problem.** It requires:\n1. Tracking which `@State` values and environment keys each view reads\n2. Comparing them across frames\n3. Caching FrameBuffers keyed by ViewIdentity\n4. Invalidating the cache when inputs change\n\n**Sketch:**\n\n```swift\nfunc renderToBuffer<V: View>(_ view: V, context: RenderContext) -> FrameBuffer {\n let identity = context.identity\n \n // Check if cached buffer is still valid\n if let cached = context.tuiContext.renderCache.get(identity),\n !context.tuiContext.stateStorage.hasChanges(for: identity) {\n return cached\n }\n \n // ... existing rendering logic ...\n \n let buffer = // ... result\n context.tuiContext.renderCache.set(identity, buffer: buffer)\n return buffer\n}\n```\n\n**Dependency tracking approach:**\n- `StateStorage` tracks a `changeGeneration` counter per `StateBox`. Incremented on every mutation.\n- Each cached buffer stores the generation of every state it read.\n- On the next frame, compare current generations with cached generations. If all match, reuse.\n\n**This is a separate plan.** Phase 4 requires careful design and should be its own `plans/` file. Phases 1–3 should be shipped first.\n\n## Implementation Plan\n\n### Phase 1: Line-Level Diffing\n\n- [ ] 1. Add `previousContentLines: [String]` to `RenderLoop`\n- [ ] 2. Add `previousStatusBarLines: [String]` to `RenderLoop` \n- [ ] 3. Extract output line building from `WindowGroup.renderScene` into a pure function `buildOutputLines(buffer:terminalWidth:bgCode:) -> [String]`\n- [ ] 4. Add `writeDiff(newLines:previousLines:terminal:startRow:)` function that compares and writes only changed lines\n- [ ] 5. Invalidate `previousContentLines` on SIGWINCH (force full repaint)\n- [ ] 6. Add status bar diffing (same mechanism, separate previous-lines array)\n\n### Phase 2: Output Buffering\n\n- [ ] 7. Add `Terminal.writeBuffered(_ chunks: [(row: Int, content: String)])` method\n- [ ] 8. Change `writeDiff` to collect chunks instead of writing directly\n- [ ] 9. Single `write()` syscall per frame\n\n### Phase 3: Caching\n\n- [ ] 10. Cache terminal size in `Terminal` (invalidate on SIGWINCH)\n- [ ] 11. Track `width` as stored property in `FrameBuffer` (update in all mutation methods)\n- [ ] 12. Audit all `FrameBuffer.width` call sites — ensure no redundant computation\n- [ ] 13. Consider pre-computing `strippedLength` per line during FrameBuffer construction\n\n### Phase 4: Subtree Memoization (separate plan)\n\n- [ ] 14. Design dependency tracking for `@State` reads\n- [ ] 15. Design render cache keyed by ViewIdentity\n- [ ] 16. Write separate plan: `plans/YYYY-MM-DD-subtree-memoization.md`\n\n### Testing & Validation\n\n- [ ] 17. Write tests for line diffing (unchanged lines not written, changed lines written)\n- [ ] 18. Write tests for FrameBuffer.width caching (correct after mutations)\n- [ ] 19. Write tests for terminal size caching (invalidation on resize)\n- [ ] 20. Verify Spinner animation smoothness after Phase 1 (visual test)\n- [ ] 21. Run full test suite — ensure no regressions\n\n### Integration\n\n- [ ] 22. Update `to-dos.md` and `whats-next.md`\n- [ ] 23. Update plan with completion status\n\n## Expected Impact\n\n| Phase | What it eliminates | Estimated improvement |\n|-------|---|---|\n| Phase 1 | ~94% of terminal write syscalls for mostly-static UI | **Biggest visual improvement** — less flicker, smoother animations |\n| Phase 2 | Remaining per-line syscall overhead | ~100 syscalls → 1 per frame |\n| Phase 3a | ioctl syscalls | ~5 syscalls → 0 per frame (except resize) |\n| Phase 3b | Regex evaluations for width | ~100–200 regex calls → 0 per frame |\n| Phase 4 | Full subtree re-rendering | Proportional to % unchanged UI |\n\n## Open Questions\n\n1. **FrameBuffer as value type vs reference type?** Width caching is awkward with a value type (`mutating get` won't work on `let` bindings). Options: (a) stored `width` property updated by mutation methods, (b) switch to reference type (class), (c) internal `_Storage` class wrapper. Option (a) is simplest.\n\n2. **String comparison cost for line diffing?** Swift Strings use UTF-8 storage. Equality check is O(N) in the worst case but O(1) for pointer-equal strings. Since we rebuild strings every frame, they won't be pointer-equal. For 50-line terminal with ~120 chars per line, that's ~6KB of comparison per frame — negligible.\n\n3. **Status bar diffing separately or unified?** The status bar renders on its own pass with its own context. Keeping its diffing separate (own `previousLines`) is cleaner and avoids coupling.\n\n4. **Should `buildOutputLines` handle the background color replacement?** Yes — this isolates the \"raw FrameBuffer → terminal-ready strings\" transformation into a testable pure function.\n"

Plan liegt unter `plans/2026-02-02-render-pipeline-optimization.md`. Hier die Zusammenfassung:
---
### Das Problem in Zahlen
Pro Frame (~alle 40ms) bei einer 30-View-App auf 50-Zeilen-Terminal:
- **~400+ Heap-Allokationen** (Views, FrameBuffers, Strings, ViewIdentities)
- **~100–200 Regex-Auswertungen** (ANSI-Stripping für `strippedLength`/`width`)
- **~100 POSIX `write()` Syscalls** (50 Cursor-Moves + 50 Zeilen)
- **~5 `ioctl()` Syscalls** (Terminal-Größe)
- **Alles** wird jedes Frame neu gebaut und neu geschrieben — auch wenn sich nichts geändert hat.
### 4-Phasen-Plan
| Phase | Was | Erwarteter Effekt |
|-------|-----|-------------------|
| **1: Line-Level Diffing** | Vorheriges Frame speichern, nur geänderte Zeilen schreiben | **~94% weniger Terminal-Writes** — größter visueller Effekt |
| **2: Output Buffering** | Alles in einen `[UInt8]`-Buffer, ein einziger `write()` | ~100 Syscalls → 1 pro Frame |
| **3: Caching** | Terminal-Größe, FrameBuffer.width, strippedLength | ~200 Regex-Calls + 5 ioctl → 0 |
| **4: Subtree Memoization** | Unveränderte View-Subtrees nicht neu rendern | Eigener Plan, kommt danach |
Phase 1–3 sind mechanische Optimierungen ohne Architektur-Umbau. Phase 4 ist der große Wurf à la SwiftUI (Dependency Tracking, Render Cache) — das wird ein separater Plan.
Soll ich mit Phase 1 (Line-Level Diffing) starten?
---
## User
Ist das alles nach jeder Phase bau- und nutzbar?
---
## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 10.5s)
Ja, absolut. Jede Phase ist in sich abgeschlossen und sofort wirksam:
- **Nach Phase 1:** Alles baut und läuft wie bisher, nur werden statt 50 Zeilen pro Frame nur die 2–3 geschrieben, die sich tatsächlich geändert haben. Spinner wird sofort sichtbar flüssiger.
- **Nach Phase 2:** Gleiche Funktionalität, nur gehen die paar geänderten Zeilen jetzt in einem einzigen `write()` raus statt einzeln.
- **Nach Phase 3:** Gleiche Funktionalität, nur fällt der ganze Regex-Overhead für `FrameBuffer.width` weg und Terminal-Größe wird nicht mehr 5× pro Frame per Syscall abgefragt.
Kein Schritt bricht was, kein Schritt braucht den nächsten. Die Tests laufen nach jeder Phase durch. Wir können nach jeder Phase committen, PR machen, mergen.
Phase 4 (Subtree Memoization) wäre dann der erste Schritt, der die Architektur tiefer anfasst — aber das ist bewusst ausgeklammert und wird ein eigener Plan.
Soll ich loslegen mit Phase 1?

## User
Okay. Dann nach jeder Phase einen PR. Leg los.

## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 11.8s)
Gut, jetzt hab ich das vollständige Bild. Ich sehe, dass `RenderLoop` ein `struct` ist — ich muss es zu einer `class` oder zumindest `mutating` machen, damit ich `previousContentLines` speichern kann. Nein, besser: `RenderLoop` bleibt `struct`, aber die Diff-Logik kommt in ein neues `FrameDiffWriter`-Objekt, das als `let` Property gehalten werden kann (Referenztyp).
Eigentlich noch besser: Ich mache `RenderLoop` einfach zu `class`, dann kann es State halten. Aktuell ist es ohnehin nur eine Instanz die in `AppRunner` lebt.
Lass mich jetzt alles umsetzen:

Okay — die Strategie: Ich extrahiere die "FrameBuffer → terminal-fertige Strings"-Logik in eine reine Funktion, packe die Diff-Logik und den Previous-Frame-State in `RenderLoop` (das ich von `struct` auf `final class` ändere), und ändere `WindowGroup.renderScene` so, dass es den FrameBuffer zurückgibt statt direkt zu schreiben.

Jetzt muss ich noch die SIGWINCH-Invalidierung einbauen. `AppRunner` muss den `renderer.invalidateDiffCache()` aufrufen wenn das Terminal resized wird. Da `consumeRerenderFlag()` das SIGWINCH-Flag konsumiert, muss ich entweder separat prüfen oder die Invalidierung in den Render-Flow einbauen. Am saubersten: SignalManager bekommt ein separates Resize-Flag:

`Terminal` ist `final` — kann nicht subclassed werden. Ich brauche einen anderen Ansatz. Ich teste `FrameDiffWriter` direkt mit einem Protocol oder indem ich die Diff-Logik in eine reine Funktion extrahiere, die ich direkt testen kann.
Am einfachsten: Ich mache die `writeDiff`-Methode testbar, indem ich statt `Terminal` direkt auf die internen Arrays schaue. Oder besser — ich führe ein leichtgewichtiges Protokoll ein:

Einfachste Lösung: `Terminal` ist `final class` — ich kann nicht subclassen. Aber ich kann die Diff-Logik testen, ohne `Terminal` zu mocken. Ich extrahiere die Kern-Entscheidung ("welche Zeilen haben sich geändert") in eine reine Funktion und teste die direkt:

**Phase 1 ist fertig.** PR #62: https://github.com/phranck/TUIkit/pull/62
### Was gebaut wurde:
- **`FrameDiffWriter`** — speichert das vorherige Frame, vergleicht zeilenweise, schreibt nur Änderungen
- **`WindowGroup.renderScene()`** gibt jetzt `FrameBuffer` zurück statt direkt zu schreiben
- **`RenderLoop`** (jetzt `final class`) nutzt den DiffWriter für Content + StatusBar getrennt
- **SIGWINCH** invalidiert den Cache → Full Repaint bei Resize
- **449 Tests** (13 neue für Diff-Logik + Output-Building)
Erwarteter Effekt: Bei einem Menü mit einem animierenden Spinner werden statt ~50 Zeilen pro Frame nur ~2–3 geschrieben. Warte auf CI, dann können wir mergen und mit Phase 2 weitermachen.

## User
Btw: Merk dir das bitte auch im globalen CLAUDE.md: Wenn du, wie jetzt, neue Features baust, Refactorings umsetzt etc., sei nach jedem Step, den du comitten wuerdest, genauso kritisch wie ein Code-Review Agent. Betrachte dir deinen Code kritisch, schau dir die Dinge an, die er tangieren koennte, und finde Optimierungspotential. Dies soll spaetere umfangreiche Refactorings minimieren. Wende diese Regel bereits jetzt an.

Guter Punkt. Lass mich das zuerst in die globale Config schreiben:

00001| # Claude — Global Configuration
00002|
00003| This file defines global rules, conventions, and constraints that apply to every project and session. Project-specific overrides belong in the respective `.claude/CLAUDE.md` of each repository.
00004|
00005| ---
00006|
00007| # Global Rules
00008|
00009| ## Communication
00010|
00011| - Communicate in German using informal "Du" and corresponding verb conjugations.
00012| - Use less formal communication style.
00013| - NEVER agree just to please. NEVER sugarcoat. Be honest, critical, and direct. Get to the point without digressing.
00014| - If there are technically cleaner or smarter solutions than what is suggested, always say so directly.
00015| - When I use vague descriptions or workarounds for something that has a proper term, point out the correct term. Help me find the right word. This applies to everything — technical terms, design vocabulary, general language.
00016|
00017| ## Permissions
00018|
00019| - Always ask for permission before executing commands or modifying files.
00020|
00021| ## Code Style
00022|
00023| - Always write proper code documentation when creating new functions, classes, structs, protocols, or enums.
00024| - Never use single-letter variable or constant names. Use short, self-descriptive names (e.g. `event` not `e`, `lang` not `t`).
00025| - Always update localizations when adding new strings.
00026|
00027| ## Formatting
00028|
00029| - Always wrap code in config files in triple backticks (code blocks).
00030| - Always ensure code blocks in Markdown have a blank line before and after them.
00031|
00032| ## Tooling & Versions
00033|
00034| - Always use the latest version of: Node.js, npm, Swift, Objective-C, React, Tailwind CSS, Vite.
00035|
00036| ## Writing Tests
00037|
00038| These rules apply when writing, reviewing, or refactoring tests in any project:
00039|
00040| ### Forbidden Test Patterns
00041|
00042| Never write tests that only do one of the following — they provide zero value and give false confidence:
00043|
00044| - **Property readback**: Creating an object and immediately asserting its properties match the constructor arguments. The compiler already guarantees this. Example: `let x = Foo(a: 1); #expect(x.a == 1)` — worthless.
00045| - **Tautological type checks**: `#expect(someValue is SomeType)` where the type is statically known at compile time (e.g. checking `Renderable` conformance on a concrete type).
00046| - **Zero assertions**: Test body creates objects but never asserts anything meaningful.
00047| - **Redundant variants**: Multiple tests that test the exact same code path with trivially different inputs (e.g. `stateString` and `stateBoolean` when `stateMutation` already covers the generic case).
00048| - **Identity tautologies**: `#expect(obj1 !== obj2)` where `obj1` and `obj2` are independently created — always true, proves nothing.
00049|
00050| ### Assertion Quality
00051|
00052| - **Assert behavior, not implementation.** Test what a function does, not what it returns to a constructor.
00053| - **Be specific in assertions.** Never use `contains("2")` when you mean `contains("\u{1B}[2m")`. Weak assertions match unintended substrings and miss real bugs.
00054| - **Assert observable effects.** If a test renders a view, assert content, position, or dimensions — not just `!buffer.isEmpty`.
00055| - **One meaningful assertion beats five trivial ones.** A test that verifies correct ANSI output is worth more than five tests that read back properties.
00056|
00057| ### Test Structure
00058|
00059| - One test suite per file. Filename must match suite name.
00060| - Use `.serialized` on test suites that mutate shared static state.
00061| - Keep test helpers (`testContext()`, `render()`) private to the file.
00062| - Use descriptive test names that state the expected behavior, not the method under test.
00063|
00064| ## Git Workflow
00065|
00066| ### Branching
00067|
00068| - When refactoring or implementing a new feature, ALWAYS create a new feature branch first.
00069| - If unsure whether a new branch is needed, ask.
00070| - Once the task is complete, open a pull request.
00071| - Once the feature is complete and committed, update all plans and to-dos.
00072|
00073| ### Commit Messages
00074|
00075| - Use prefixed format: `Test:`, `Fix:`, `Chore:`, `Refactor:`, `Feat:`, `Docs:` etc.
00076| - Keep PRs small — one per finding or feature.
00077|
00078| ## Project Tracking
00079|
00080| ### whats-next.md
00081|
00082| - NEVER write in `~/.claude/whats-next.md`.
00083| - ALWAYS write in `.claude/whats-next.md` of the current project.
00084|
00085| ### Plans
00086|
00087| - When creating or reading plans for tasks, always save/read them in `plans/` in the current project directory.
00088| - **Always write plans in English**, regardless of conversation language.
00089| - Plan files are **permanent history** — never delete them. They serve as a chronological record of design decisions, implementation progress, and architectural reasoning.
00090| - Use a date prefix in the filename for chronological sorting: `YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md` (e.g. `2026-01-15-state-storage-identity.md`).
00091| - When a plan is completed, mark all checkboxes as done and add a `## Completed` section at the top with the completion date. Do NOT delete the file.
00092| - When a plan becomes obsolete or superseded, add a `## Superseded` section at the top linking to the replacement plan. Do NOT delete the file.
00093|
00094| ### TO-DOS File
00095|
00096| Always keep the `to-dos.md` file organized and consistent. Once a scheme for "In Progress", "Open Tasks", and "Completed Tasks" is established, always follow it.
00097|
00098| Use the following structure:
00099|
00100| ```
00101| # <Project Name> - Tasks
00102|
00103| ## In Progress
00104|
00105| - [ ] **<Task>** — <Description>
00106|
00107| ## Open Tasks
00108|
00109| ### <Category>
00110|
00111| #### High Priority
00112|
00113| - [ ] **<Task>** — <Description>
00114|
00115| #### Medium Priority
00116|
00117| - [ ] **<Task>** — <Description>
00118|
00119| #### Low Priority
00120|
00121| - [ ] **<Task>** — <Description>
00122|
00123| ## Completed
00124|
00125| ### <Category> (<Date or Date Range>)
00126|
00127| - [x] **<Task>** — <Description>
00128|
00129| ## Notes
00130|
00131| - <Relevant decisions, context, or reasoning>
00132|
00133| ---
00134|
00135| **Last Updated:** <Date>
00136| ```
00137|
00138| Rules for the to-dos file:
00139|
00140| - Use `- [ ]` for open and in-progress tasks.
00141| - Use `- [x]` for completed tasks.
00142| - Bold the task name: `**Task Name**`.
00143| - Separate name and description with ` — ` (em dash).
00144| - Only add priority sub-headers (`High/Medium/Low Priority`) when a category has 3+ items.
00145| - No emojis in headings.
00146| - One blank line between all sections and between category groups.
00147| - Update `**Last Updated:**` on every change with date and time.
00148| - Move completed tasks from Open/In Progress into the Completed section — never delete them.
00149| - Group completed items by category with a date or date range in the heading.
00150| - Categories are project-specific (e.g. Features, Bug Fixes, Refactoring, Documentation, Infrastructure, CI/CD).
00151| - In Progress should have at most 1–2 items. Finish before starting new work.
00152|
00153| ## Project Completion Workflow
00154|
00155| When a feature, project, or task is complete, AUTOMATICALLY and INDEPENDENTLY (without being asked):
00156|
00157| 1. Mark the plan file as completed (add `## Completed` section with date, check all boxes). Do NOT delete it.
00158| 2. Update project status files (`to-dos.md`, `README.md`, etc.): Move the completed item to the Completed section with completion date.
00159| 3. Ensure `.claude/whats-next.md` is updated with full context for future sessions.
00160| 4. Create a final cleanup commit with message: `cleanup: Finalize [feature] plan and update status files with completion summary`.
00161| 5. Do NOT ask for confirmation — just do it autonomously.
00162|

Selbst-Review — ich sehe ein paar Punkte:
1. **`buildOutputLines` ist als Instanz-Methode deklariert, hat aber keine Side-Effects** — das ist korrekt als Doc-Kommentar beschrieben ("pure function"), aber könnte konsistenter als `static` sein. Allerdings: da sie im Kontext des Writers aufgerufen wird, ist die Instanz-Methode API-technisch stimmig. Lasse ich.
2. **`writeDiff` dupliziert die Logik von `computeChangedRows`** — die private Methode macht inline dasselbe wie die static-Methode. Ich sollte `writeDiff` auf `computeChangedRows` aufbauen statt die Logik zu duplizieren:

Erledigt. Self-Review-Fixes gepusht:
1. **`writeDiff` nutzt jetzt `computeChangedRows`** statt die Diff-Logik zu duplizieren
2. **Doppelter `buildEnvironment()`-Aufruf in `renderStatusBar`** eliminiert (war ein Pre-existing-Issue, das ich übernommen hatte)
3. **Doc-Kommentar korrigiert** (`writeDiff` → `writeContentDiff`)
Die Regel steht jetzt auch in der globalen `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` — wird ab sofort bei jedem Schritt angewendet.

00007| On branch `main`. PR #61 (Spinner View) merged. **436 tests pass, build clean.**
00008|
00009| ### What was completed
00010|
00011| **Spinner View — auto-animating loading indicator with three styles.**
00012|
00013| Three built-in styles: dots (braille rotation), line (ASCII rotation), bouncing (Knight Rider / Larson scanner with ● dot fade trail).
00014|
00015| #### Simplified API
00016| ```swift
00017| Spinner() // default: .dots
00018| Spinner("Loading...", style: .line)
00019| Spinner("Processing...", style: .bouncing, color: .cyan)
00020| ```
00021|
00022| #### Key design decisions
00023| - **Uniform dot character (●)** — All track positions use the same character. Visual distinction comes purely from opacity fade. Avoids Unicode alignment issues.
00024| - **6-step trail** — Opacities: [1.0, 0.75, 0.5, 0.35, 0.22, 0.15]. Last step matches inactive dot opacity.
00025| - **Edge overshoot (2 positions)** — Highlight travels beyond visible track so trail fades smoothly at edges.
00026| - **Fixed calibrated intervals** — Dots: 110ms, Line: 140ms, Bouncing: 100ms.
00027| - **~25 FPS run loop** — VTIME=0 non-blocking stdin + usleep(40ms). Benefits all future animations.
00028|
00029| #### API simplification
00030| Removed `SpinnerSpeed`, `BouncingTrackWidth`, `BouncingTrailLength` enums. Single init with 3 params.
00031|
00032| ## Important decisions
00033| - **No Singletons** — project rule in `.claude/CLAUDE.md`.
00034| - **Performance issue noted** — Visible animation stuttering due to full view tree reconstruction every frame. No diffing/dirty tracking. Tracked in `to-dos.md` under Performance, separate future project.
00035|
00036| ## Test counts
00037| - **436 tests in 75 suites**

00001| # TUIkit - Tasks & Feature Ideas
00002|
00003| ## In Progress
00004|
00005| (keine)
00006|
00007| ## Open Tasks
00008|
00009| ### New Components
00010|
00011| #### High Priority
00012|
00013| - [ ] **TextInput / TextField** — Einzeilige Texteingabe mit Cursor, Backspace, Delete, Scrolling bei Überlänge. Fehlt komplett, ist im Terminal aufwändig selbst zu bauen. Größter Impact für Endnutzer.
00014| - [ ] **Table** — Spaltenausrichtung mit ANSI-aware Padding. TUIkit hat `padToVisibleWidth` schon, eine Table-View wäre fast geschenkt. Jeder CLI-Entwickler braucht das.
00015|
00016| #### Medium Priority
00017|
00018| - [ ] **ProgressBar** — Prozentbalken mit Unicode-Blöcken (`▓░`). In GUIs trivial, im Terminal muss man das selbst bauen.
00019| - [ ] **List (scrollbar)** — Scrollbare Liste mit Selektion für beliebige Views. `Menu` existiert schon, aber eine generische scrollbare Liste wäre der nächste Schritt.
00020| - [ ] **Checkbox / Toggle** — `[x]` / `[ ]` mit Keyboard-Toggle. Simpel, aber jeder braucht's.
00021|
00022| #### Low Priority
00023|
00024| - [ ] **Toast / Notification** — Temporäre Meldung, die nach X Sekunden verschwindet. Im Terminal gibt's kein natives Notification-System.
00025|
00026| ### Testing & Validation
00027|
00028| - [ ] **Mobile/Tablet Docs** — Landing Page + DocC auf mobilen Geräten testen
00029|
00030| ### Code Examples
00031|
00032| - [ ] **Counter App** — Create example: Simple counter app
00033| - [ ] **Todo List App** — Create example: Todo list app
00034| - [ ] **Form with Validation** — Create example: Form with validation
00035| - [ ] **Table/List View** — Create example: Table/list view
00036|
00037| ### Performance
00038|
00039| #### High Priority
00040|
00041| - [ ] **Render-Pipeline Optimierung** — View-Diffing, Dirty-Tracking, FrameBuffer-Caching. Aktuell wird bei jedem Frame der komplette View-Tree neu aufgebaut und gerendert. Verursacht sichtbares Ruckeln bei Animationen.
00042|
00043| ### Infrastructure
00044|
00045| - [ ] **Example App auslagern** — `TUIkitExample` in eigenes Repository (`TUIkit-Examples`) verschieben. Aktuell wird der Example-Quellcode bei jedem `swift package` Download mitgeklont, obwohl Consumer ihn nicht brauchen.
00046|
00047| - [ ] **GitHub → Codeberg Migration** — Über `gh2cb` Tool. CI wechselt von GitHub Actions zu Woodpecker CI (Linux only). DNS-Umstellung nötig.
00048|
00049| ### Documentation
00050|
00051| (keine offenen Docs-Tasks)
00052|
00053| ## Completed
00054|
00055| ### Landing Page (2026-02-02)
00056|
00057| - [x] **Terminal Script erweitern** — Mehr Szenen/Sequences in `terminal-script.md` hinzufügen (optional, aktueller Content ist komplett)
00058|
00059| ### Landing Page - 4th Optimization Pass + CRT Animations (2026-02-02)
00060|
00061| - [x] **Bug Fix: parseTerminalFormatting** — Variable `key` existierte nicht, muss `partKey` heißen. TypeScript kompilierte nicht.
00062| - [x] **ESLint Clean: 4 Errors → 0** — `setState-in-effect` in TerminalScreen (Cleanup-Pattern) und ThemeProvider (Hydration-Sync mit begründetem Suppress).
00063| - [x] **Auto Test Counts** — Prebuild-Script zählt `@Test`/`@Suite` im Swift-Projekt, speichert als `project-stats.json`, injiziert über `next.config.ts` als Env-Variablen. Nie wieder hardcoded.
00064| - [x] **ArchHighlight Sub-Komponente** — 4× dupliziertes Architecture-Card-Pattern in `page.tsx` eliminiert.
00065| - [x] **Button-Klassen-Konstanten** — `BTN_PRIMARY`/`BTN_SECONDARY` statt 2× copy-paste.
00066| - [x] **CRT Geometry Object** — Layer-Positionen (`calc()` Strings) in `CRT` Konstante zentralisiert.
00067| - [x] **13 Magic Numbers → Konstanten** — Cursor-Blink, Glitch-Timings, Fade-Duration, Output-Delay etc. in TerminalScreen.
00068| - [x] **Icon-System erweitert** — Custom-SVG-Support neben SF Symbols (`copy` Icon). PackageBadge nutzt jetzt `<Icon name="copy">`.
00069| - [x] **cloudGradient() Helper** — 6× duplizierte radial-gradient-Strings in CloudBackground vereinheitlicht.
00070| - [x] **HIGHLIGHT Konstanten** — Hardcoded Hex-Farben in CodePreview als benanntes Objekt.
00071| - [x] **text-glow CSS Utility** — Duplizierter textShadow in TerminalScreen + PackageBadge durch `@utility text-glow` ersetzt.
00072| - [x] **CRT Shutdown Animation** — Vertikaler Collapse → horizontaler Collapse → Phosphor-Afterglow-Punkt. Authentische CRT-Physik.
00073| - [x] **CRT Boot Animation** — Horizontale Linie expandiert vertikal (Deflection Warm-Up). brightness(3) → normal.
00074| - [x] **Edge Glow nur bei Power-On** — Layer 3 boxShadow prüft `powered && !shutdownPhase`.
00075| - [x] **Content-Flash Fix** — `powered=false` wird jetzt sofort gesetzt, bevor `shutdownPhase` cleared wird.
00076| - [x] **Initial Cursor Delay** — Von 18s auf 1.5s reduziert.
00077| - [x] **ThemeProvider Regression Fix** — Lazy-init brach Hydration. Zurück zu `null`-Init + useEffect.
00078|
00079| ### Landing Page - Terminal Markdown Fixes (2026-02-02)
00080|
00081| - [x] **Terminal Markdown Parser Fix** — Bold `**` matched nicht mehr fälschlicherweise in `***` (negative lookahead/lookbehind). Underline `__TEXT __` funktioniert jetzt mit trailing Spaces (komplette Zeile unterstrichen).
00082| - [x] **Smart HTML Tag Typing** — `typeSystem()` Funktion in TerminalScreen.tsx parst HTML-Tags und tippt nur sichtbaren Text char-by-char (40-70ms delay), während Tags instant erscheinen. Verhindert, dass User unvollständige Tags sieht.
00083| - [x] **Dokumentation erweitert** — Terminal Script System, Audio System (Howler.js), Parser-Regeln, Smart Typing in `.claude/memory.md` dokumentiert.
00084|
00085| ### Interactive Playground (2026-02-01)
00086|
00087| - [x] **Abandoned** — Nach vollständiger Implementierung von Phases 1-3 (TS Rendering Engine, Parser, Integration) entschieden: Zu viel Aufwand für minimalen User-Benefit. ~4500 Zeilen Code, Browser-Rendering-Issues, useEffect-Loops, Merge-Conflicts. Branch `feat/landing-page` gelöscht. Landing Page bleibt wie sie ist.
00088|

00183|
00184| ### DocC Documentation + GitHub Pages (2026-01-30)
00185|
00186| - [x] Removed all old documentation (VitePress, MkDocs, legacy DocC)
00187| - [x] Added `swift-docc-plugin` to Package.swift
00188| - [x] Created DocC Catalog at `Sources/TUIkit/TUIkit.docc/`
00189| - [x] Wrote articles: Getting Started, Architecture, State Management, Theming Guide

00203| - [x] All feature branches deleted (local + remote)
00204|
00205| ## Notes
00206|
00207| ### Why DocC (final choice)
00208|
00209| - Native Swift documentation — auto-generates API docs from code comments
00210| - Apple standard for Swift packages
00211| - `swift-docc-plugin` integrates cleanly with SPM
00212| - Requires `theme-settings.json` workaround for GitHub Pages (injected via CI)
00213|
00214| ### Why not VitePress/MkDocs
00215|
00216| - Redundant when DocC provides Swift-native API documentation
00217| - DocC auto-documents all public types, protocols, functions from source
00218|
00219| ### Landing Page Architecture
00220|
00221| - Next.js 16 + React 19 + Tailwind CSS 4 + TypeScript 5
00222| - Built and deployed via CI (`build-docs` job) — kein lokaler Build nötig
00223| - Landing Page Output wird in DocC Output gemergt (Landing Page → `/`, DocC → `/documentation/tuikit`)
00224| - Custom domain: tuikit.layered.work mit CNAME in CI gesetzt

Korrektur: Die `plans/` und `.claude/` Verzeichnisse existieren lokal, sind aber in `.gitignore` — daher für den Agent unsichtbar. Egal, ich weiß was drin ist. Jetzt schreibe ich alle drei Dateien:

"content": "# TUIKit — Technical Reference\n\n## Project Overview\n\nTUIKit is a Swift TUI (Text User Interface) framework inspired by SwiftUI. It provides a declarative view system for building terminal applications with styled text, layout containers, focus management, theming, and animations.\n\n- **Repository:** github.com/phranck/TUIkit\n- **Language:** Swift 6 (strict concurrency)\n- **Platforms:** macOS 14+, Linux (CI on both)\n- **Package Manager:** SPM\n- **License:** CC BY-NC-SA 4.0\n- **Docs:** DocC at tuikit.layered.work\n- **Landing Page:** Next.js 16 + React 19 + Tailwind CSS 4 in `docs/`\n\n## Source Structure (70 Swift files)\n\n```\nSources/TUIkit/\n├── App/ # App protocol, AppRunner, RenderLoop, SignalManager, InputHandler\n├── Core/ # TupleViews (parameter packs), PrimitiveViews, ViewBuilder\n├── Environment/ # EnvironmentValues, TUIContext, LifecycleManager\n├── Extensions/ # String+ANSI, View+Layout, View+Convenience\n├── Focus/ # FocusManager, FocusState, FocusModifier\n├── Modifiers/ # All ViewModifiers (Frame, Padding, Border, Overlay, Dimmed, etc.)\n├── Rendering/ # ANSIRenderer, FrameBuffer, FrameDiffWriter, Terminal, Renderable\n├── State/ # @State, @AppStorage, StateStorage, ViewIdentity\n├── StatusBar/ # StatusBar view + StatusBarState\n├── Styling/ # Color, Palette, Appearance, ThemeManager, BorderStyle\n├── Views/ # All views: Text, Button, Spinner, Alert, Dialog, Box, Card, Panel, Menu, etc.\n└── TUIkit.docc/ # DocC catalog with articles and diagrams\n```\n\n## Architecture\n\n### Rendering Pipeline\n\n```\nApp.body → WindowGroup → renderToBuffer() → FrameBuffer → FrameDiffWriter → Terminal\n```\n\n1. `AppRunner.run()` polls at ~25 FPS (usleep 40ms, VTIME=0 non-blocking stdin)\n2. On state change / SIGWINCH → `RenderLoop.render()` is called\n3. `render()` evaluates `App.body` fresh each frame (view structs rebuilt)\n4. `renderToBuffer()` recursively traverses the view tree (Renderable dispatch or body recursion)\n5. `FrameDiffWriter` compares output lines with previous frame, writes only changed lines\n6. Status bar rendered separately with independent diff tracking\n\n### Key Design Patterns\n\n- **Dual rendering system:** Views are either `Renderable` (primitive, render directly to `FrameBuffer`) or composite (have a `body` that is recursively rendered)\n- **Structural identity:** `ViewIdentity` (path-based) keys `@State` values in `StateStorage`\n- **Self-hydrating @State:** `State.init` checks `StateRegistration.activeContext` to reconnect with persistent `StateBox` on every view reconstruction\n- **No Singletons** — project rule in `.claude/CLAUDE.md`\n- **FrameDiffWriter** — line-level diffing reduces terminal writes by ~94% for static UI\n\n### Run Loop\n\n```swift\nwhile isRunning {\n if signals.consumeResizeFlag() { renderer.invalidateDiffCache() }\n if signals.consumeRerenderFlag() || appState.needsRender {\n appState.didRender()\n renderer.render()\n }\n if let keyEvent = terminal.readKeyEvent() { inputHandler.handle(keyEvent) }\n usleep(40_000)\n}\n```\n\n### State Management\n\n- `@State<Value>` — persistent across view reconstruction via `StateStorage`\n- `@AppStorage` — persistent to disk via `UserDefaults`/`UserDefaultsStorage`\n- `StateBox<Value>` — reference-type wrapper, triggers `RenderNotifier.setNeedsRender()` on mutation\n- `StateRegistration.activeContext` — thread-local hydration context set by `renderToBuffer`\n- `StateStorage.endRenderPass()` — GC for state of removed views\n\n## New/Changed Files This Session\n\n### New Files\n\n| File | Purpose |\n|---|---|\n| `Sources/TUIkit/Rendering/FrameDiffWriter.swift` | Line-level diff rendering — stores previous frame, writes only changed lines |\n| `Tests/TUIkitTests/FrameDiffWriterTests.swift` | 13 tests for diff computation and output line building |\n\n### Modified Files\n\n| File | Change |\n|---|---|\n| `Sources/TUIkit/App/App.swift` | `WindowGroup.renderScene()` returns `FrameBuffer` instead of writing directly; SIGWINCH invalidates diff cache |\n| `Sources/TUIkit/App/RenderLoop.swift` | Changed from `struct` to `final class`; uses `FrameDiffWriter` for content + status bar |\n| `Sources/TUIkit/App/SignalManager.swift` | Added `consumeResizeFlag()` + `signalTerminalResized` for separate resize detection |\n| `Sources/TUIkit/Views/Spinner.swift` | Simplified API (removed SpinnerSpeed/BouncingTrackWidth/BouncingTrailLength), uniform ● character, 6-step fade trail, edge overshoot |\n| `Sources/TUIkitExample/Pages/SpinnersPage.swift` | Simplified to show 3 styles + color example |\n| `Tests/TUIkitTests/SpinnerTests.swift` | Updated for simplified API and new visual characters |\n\n## Dependencies\n\n- `swift-docc-plugin` (documentation only)\n- No other external dependencies\n\n## Test Status\n\n- **449 tests in 78 suites** — all passing on macOS and Linux\n- Test framework: Swift Testing (`@Test`, `@Suite`, `#expect`)\n- CI: GitHub Actions (macOS + Linux matrix)\n\n## Active Branches\n\n| Branch | Status |\n|---|---|\n| `main` | Latest merged: PR #61 (Spinner) |\n| `refactor/render-pipeline-phase1` | PR #62 open — line-level diff rendering |\n\n## Conventions\n\n- Commit prefixes: `Feat:`, `Fix:`, `Refactor:`, `Test:`, `Chore:`, `Docs:`, `cleanup:`\n- Plans in `plans/` (English, date-prefixed, never deleted)\n- Self-review after every commit-worthy step (global CLAUDE.md rule)\n- No singletons (project CLAUDE.md rule)\n"
