2026-06-15kernel: screenshot protocols + arbitrary-image decoding + input-transparent ↵Adam Malczewski
surfaces Three additive, kernel-internal capabilities (no extension-facing signature changes beyond the documented UiSurfaceSpec field + SurfaceElement-unrelated probes): - Screenshots (grim): create wlr_screencopy_manager_v1 + wlr_xdg_output_manager_v1 in init() alongside the existing compositor/data-device globals (policy-free plumbing; wlroots wires them to the kernel-owned outputs/renderer). The captured image is the standard wlr_scene_output_commit composite, so RML-composited documents (scene-buffer nodes) are captured correctly. wlr.hpp gains the two headers (static-blanking re-audited inert). - Arbitrary raster image decode: vendor stb_image (single-header, public domain; warnings isolated to its own warning_level=0 TU) and extend the RMLUi RenderInterface LoadTexture (was uncompressed-TGA-only) to decode PNG/JPEG/BMP/ GIF/TGA via stbi_load_from_memory (RGBA, no BGR swizzle), falling back to the legacy TGA path. A SubstrateSystemInterface JoinPath override stops RmlUi stripping the leading '/' of an absolute source during URL resolution, so both <img src='/abs'> and decorator: image('/abs') load the same file. Deterministic ui_pixel readback tests (<img> + decorator paths, red/blue PNG fixtures). - input-transparent ui surfaces: UiSurfaceSpec gains 'bool input_transparent' (default false). When true the surface still composites but is skipped by the press-ownership hit test, so it never steals pointer/touch from windows above it -- required for a full-screen background (wallpaper). Deterministic seam test proves a transparent surface does not consume a press while an opaque one does.
2026-06-15kernel(rml-compositing W1b): surface trees + input-back + keyboard-focusAdam Malczewski
Extends the live SurfaceElement to the whole surface TREE and routes input back to clients. Surface trees: - create_surface_element(root) now manages subsurfaces + xdg popups as per-subsurface child elements (unbox-surface://N.K), each its own live seq-gated texture at its tree offset; the substrate re-walks the live tree each dirty tick (wlr_surface_for_each_surface + popup walk), reconciling by wl_surface identity and dropping a node the instant it leaves the tree. - Frame-callback duty now walks the WHOLE tree per composited frame. - Parent-relative child placement (place_child_box, pure core): child <img> positioned relative to the root img's resolved box, so a moving/resized parent drags its children; popups unclipped. Caller tracks only the root. Input-back (automatic; the wm wires no seat calls): - pure core src/input_core.hpp (port of the spike's spike_input_core): project_to_screen/unproject_to_local + place_child_box, doctested (criterion-3 round-trip < 0.01px; affine exact). - a pointer/touch pick landing on a surface-element node maps the point through the node img's real RCSS transform via Element::Project, then box->surface- local, and forwards to that client via wl_seat at surface-local px. Normal RML picks still fire bind_event/bind_drag unchanged. Cursor stays a wlr plane. - SurfaceElement::focus_keyboard() (new public method): seat keyboard-focus MECHANISM only (focus POLICY is the window-field wave); cleared on destroy. Tests: pure-core doctests + a headless test driving a REAL in-process client (toplevel root + subsurface + xdg popup): tree composes as >=3 child <img>, whole-tree frame-done, pointer enter/motion/button + touch at expected surface- local coords (incl. a rotateY(35) transformed-element case proving Project), keyboard enter+key. kernel suite 72c/375a green; build-asan 0 records (the seat/per-node-import/listener lifetimes clean). Spike untouched.
2026-06-15kernel(rml-compositing W1): live SurfaceElement (zero-copy, self-updating)Adam Malczewski
Phase 2 Wave 1: the live sibling of Preview. A SurfaceElement is backed by a client wl_surface's current committed buffer, imported zero-copy into the RMLUi sibling GLES context and served under an unbox-surface://N URI, shown via <img src> in any UiSurface. Public contract (ui.hpp): - class SurfaceElement { source_uri(); width(); height(); } (no refresh()). - UiSubstrate::create_surface_element(wlr_surface* client) -> unique_ptr; nullptr on no-GL/import-fail, never throws; `client` is a borrow the caller must outlive and drop on unmap/destroy (lifetime documented per listener-lifetime). Behavior (ported from the in-tree spike, untouched): - seq-gated re-import (wlr_surface->current.seq), pool-reuse-proof; double- buffered wlr_buffer_lock/unlock (<=1 pinned, balanced incl. prev==buf). - frame-callback duty per composited frame so the client keeps drawing (the stuck-frame fix); a frame stays scheduled while >=1 element exists. - commit dirties the hosting ui surface (dirty-gate); static client = no work. - shm-upload + R<->B swizzle fallback when there is no dmabuf path. Pure-core predicate (surface_element_needs_reimport) doctested; headless integration test drives a REAL in-process Wayland client (re-import on seq advance, the pooled same-pointer case, zero idle re-imports, climbing frame-done). kernel suite + build-asan green on Haswell+crocus. Test-only wayland-client dep (kernel-tests scope; user-accepted). Scope held: single surface, no input-back/damage/scene changes (later waves).
2026-06-15chore: seed feat/rml-compositing from main + RML-compositing design & spike ↵Adam Malczewski
reference Phase 2 of RML compositing starts here, off main. Brings over from the throwaway spike branch: - design/planning: notes/rml-compositing-phase1.md (the Phase 1 design), notes/plan.md row 71 (ADOPTED/GO + Option-2 contract), GLOSSARY.md terms (RML compositing, surface element), tasks.md, .gitignore. - spike sources as IN-TREE REFERENCE only (packages/kernel/src/spike + build_by_default:false target + the input-core doctest): the proven mechanics Phase-2 ports (live seq-gated import, Element::Project input-back, FBO->dmabuf present, dirty-gate). Deleted once Wave 1 lands. Real Phase-2 implementation lands in subsequent wave commits.
2026-06-14kernel: add request_frames() frame callback + UiSurface::transition_timing()Adam Malczewski
Two additive primitives for C++-driven, RCSS-tunable animation: - Host::request_frames(cb) -> FrameRequest: a per-frame callback (RAII handle) run before tick_all each frame; the kernel schedules frames continuously while >=1 request is alive and stops at rest. Fills the missing animation timer. - UiSurface::transition_timing(element_id, property): reads the RCSS-authored transition duration + easing, returning RmlUi's tween wrapped as a pure std::function (no RmlUi types cross the contract) so an extension can drive its own animation with hot-reloadable, designer-tunable timing/easing.
2026-06-13kernel: generalize the inotify watcher into a Host::watch_file serviceAdam Malczewski
The hot-reload watcher was substrate-internal; expose it as a typed RAII primitive any extension can use (config hot-reload is the first consumer), per "the kernel owns the event/service bus; extensions never hold raw event-loop glue". - New public watch.hpp: `class FileWatch` (move-only RAII; ~/reset() stop the watch) + `Host::watch_file(path, on_change) -> FileWatch`. on_change fires on the event-loop thread, COALESCED (one save = one call), EDITOR-SAFE (dir-watch the basename across temp+rename), fires on CREATE of a not-yet-existing file, and is ERROR-ISOLATED to the calling extension (carries its id; a throw disables only that extension). UNGATED — works without UNBOX_DEV. - New src/file_watcher.{hpp,cpp}: ONE session-wide inotify instance on the wl_event_loop multiplexing all watched paths. The substrate's UI-asset hot-reload was refactored onto it (no second inotify); only the substrate's *decision* to watch UI assets stays UNBOX_DEV-gated. Created lazily on first watch; torn down leak-clean before the loop dies. host.hpp/kernel.md documented. kernel 58 cases/254 assertions green on build + build-asan (incl. the inotify path), no new suppressions. Edits confined to packages/kernel/.
2026-06-13Slice 5: real ui substrate + unified input routing + touch-mode; spike retiredAdam Malczewski
The ui substrate is now the extension-facing contract (unbox/kernel/ui.hpp): Host::ui() -> UiSubstrate::create_surface(spec) -> UiSurface with typed scalar bindings (int/double/bool/string getters), data-event callbacks (error-isolated per extension), dirty(), geometry/visibility — RMLUi and GL stay kernel-private. Production sync: glFinish replaced by EGL_KHR_fence_sync + 2-deep wlr_swapchain. ui_spike retired (orientation guard + dirty-cycle coverage live on as substrate tests). Input: ONE kernel routing path feeds pointer AND touch into ui surfaces with consume-or-pass semantics and implicit-grab ownership (the consumer of a press owns the matching release; per touch point too) — fixes drag-release-over-ui sticking. touch-mode: state machine + debounce + on_touch_mode_changed notification, NO visual scaling (user decision after hardware hands-on; dp-ratio stays 1.0; see plan §2). ext-xdg-shell: GrabMachine generalized to pointer-OR-touch interaction source (touch titlebar drag works; originating-point pinning); fixed the seat implicit-grab leak (suppressed release after forwarded press swallowed all later touch-downs — pointer/touch alternation doctested); factory renamed create(). ext-layer-shell: on_demand keyboard interactivity via scene hit resolution. host-bin: --ui-demo extension (temporary acceptance demo on the public contract, dies in slice 6). User hands-on verified: same surface by mouse and finger, tap counter, touch-mode neutrality, no click-through, drag alternation, fuzzel on_demand. 113 doctest cases green, ASan/UBSan clean (our code), idle RSS ≈78 MiB. Harness: UX-feel hands-on lesson (ORCHESTRATOR §2.6), nested-run pkill/setsid notes, touch-mode glossary redefinition.
2026-06-12Slice 4: extension host + typed bus; xdg-shell/layer-shell extracted to core ↵Adam Malczewski
extensions The kernel now names NO concrete feature. It owns: the extension host (install/topological activate, missing-dep/cycle = startup error), the typed Event/Filter bus (error-isolated: a throwing extension is disabled, never the session; RAII Subscriptions), the Host API (per-extension facade: borrows, scene layers, event catalogue, typed services), the public RAII Listener, and a typed surface→scene-tree registry (Host::host_surface/scene_tree_for) that replaced the untyped wlr_surface.data convention both extensions flagged. - ext-xdg-shell (core): toplevel/popup lifecycle, focus-on-map, click/tap-to-focus, pointer/touch routing incl. button+axis (the kernel only moves the cursor and emits — a contract-doc lie caught by user hands-on), interactive move/resize via pure GrabMachine (fixes the request-arrives-after-release race: grab requires request ∧ button-down, release always ends it), Alt+F1 cycle, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace terminate (labwc's default A-Escape=Exit killed the dev session once — never again; see nested-run skill). - ext-layer-shell (core): wlr-layer-shell v1 (proto v5) for external clients; pure doctest-hard arrangement core; fuzzel verified visually nested (fix: seed outputs from output_layout at activate — events-only tracking missed pre-activation outputs; plus a scene-node double-free). - First protocol codegen: vendored wlr-layer-shell XML + wayland-scanner server-header propagated through kernel_dep; wlr.hpp grew a namespace→_namespace keyword fix for the generated header. - Glossary: 'scene layer' (user-approved). New rules earned: parallel-wave-builds, contract-docs. - User hands-on verified: typing, click-to-focus, drag-select, scroll, titlebar drag-move (slow + flick), Alt+F1, fuzzel + arrows, touch tap, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. 68 doctest cases green, ASan/UBSan clean (our code), idle RSS ≈73 MiB.
2026-06-12Slice 3: THE SPIKE — RMLUi→wlr_scene bridge lands, GOAdam Malczewski
Plan A verified on hardware (HD 4400/crocus): RMLUi renders into a GLES 3.2 sibling-context FBO backed by a dmabuf wlr_buffer (wlr_allocator + EGLImage import), composited as a wlr_scene_buffer with per-frame damage. Plan B (glReadPixels→shm) implemented and verified as runtime fallback; auto-engages when any Plan-A precondition fails. Plan C not needed. - Hello-world RML doc: text, data-bound frame counter, pointer input proof (hover/:active) — verified upright on screen via screenshot after fixing the classic FBO Y-flip (buffer-level V-flip keeps display == document coords for input); position-aware orientation guard added. - Temporary spike surface: Options::ui_spike + frame-count/orientation probes, host-bin --ui-spike flag; replaced by the real ui substrate contract in slice 4+. - kernel suite 6 cases / 416 assertions green; ASan/UBSan clean in our code (Mesa leak noise + 2 benign UBSan downcast reports inside vendored RMLUi are known); idle RSS ≈83 MiB. - Deferred (notes/plan.md §7): glFinish→EGL fence + swapchain; dmabuf render-format negotiation (private API in wlroots 0.20).
2026-06-12Slice 2: tinywl port — kernel compositor runs nested, manages toplevels, ↵Adam Malczewski
touch added Server contract (pimpl, create/run/dispatch/terminate) over a faithful tinywl 0.20.1 port: outputs via wlr_scene, xdg-shell toplevels+popups, focus, interactive move/resize, keyboard/pointer through wlr_cursor — plus touch (down/up/motion/cancel/frame via seat notifies with per-point origin tracking), which tinywl lacks. RAII Listener replaces manual wl_list_remove bookkeeping; shutdown ordering documented in kernel.md. xkbcommon added as a system dep. Verified: nested under labwc (output WL-1, foot mapped and focused on GLES2) and a headless+pixman boot test in the kernel suite.
2026-06-12Slice 1: Meson skeleton — kernel links wlroots 0.20 from C++, RMLUi 6.2 ↵Adam Malczewski
vendored Root meson.build (C++23, WLR_USE_UNSTABLE, ccache-detected) with RMLUi 6.2 as a wrap-file tarball built through the cmake module (no git submodules — settled decision) and doctest 2.5.2 from wrapdb. kernel unit: extern-"C" wlr.hpp wrapper (with the C99 [static N] array-param workaround documented in kernel.md), slice-1 probe contract, doctest suite (1/1 green). host-bin: composition root printing versions, exit 0. tasks.md slice 1 done.
