Unified progress line, and warmth in the results list - #106
Merged
Conversation
Pure move, no behaviour change. fnd/tui/progress.py becomes fnd/tui/progress/ with the widget in bar and the session API in facility; __init__ re-exports all three names so existing imports are untouched. Makes room for the model, calibration and observer modules that follow.
The waits that dominate a navigation have nothing to count. Focus-chunk build, layout settle and the scroll commit are single awaits, so the old bar — which only ever ticked the cheap chunk-mount loop, against the whole file's chunk count as a denominator — sat near zero through all of them and then vanished. The model gives an operation an ordered plan of phases. Phases with real units report them; phases without ease on elapsed time against an expectation, scaled (not clamped) so an over-running phase keeps creeping instead of freezing. A phase's weight is its share of the plan's total expected duration, so calibration reshapes the bar automatically and there are no hand-tuned weights to drift. Calibration mirrors cost_estimate: record each completed operation, summarise the recent ones, fall back to the seed. Median rather than mean — one cold monster PDF must not leave the bar crawling afterwards — and writes are throttled because an operation can finish several times a second under a held cursor key. Seeds come from the measured navigation budget. Nothing is wired to the UI yet.
Three separate reasons the old strip was hard to see, all fixed here. It was never full width: the row was, but it held a stock Textual ProgressBar whose Bar is a fixed 32 cells, so it painted a stub behind a 16-cell label. The line is now one box-drawing glyph per cell across the whole row — heavy in the accent for the filled run, light and dim for the remainder — the same idiom and weight as ThinScrollBarRender, so it reads as part of the frame. It stays blank at rest. It was retired by whoever happened to call hide: sessions are now owned, and closing one that has already been superseded does nothing. And it vanished before the user could read it. A session paints on the frame it opens, holds a minimum visible duration, always eases to a full line and holds that before clearing, and hands its fill to a successor so a held cursor key doesn't saw the bar back to zero. The tick loop runs only while a session is open. test_progress_strip_runs_determinate_then_hides_on_complete waited a fixed eight pauses for the strip to clear; with a deliberate minimum visible duration that is a flake waiting to happen, so it now gates on the widget's own state.
… cold-nav wait
Navigating between matches inside one large file got slower the longer a session
went on, and the preview settled in two to four visible steps rather than one.
Both symptoms come from the same place.
## The leak
``dispatch_mount``'s same-file out-of-window branch builds a fresh
PreviewContainer and returns early, on a comment asserting the old one is "swept
on the next navigation". The sweep lives further down, on the cross-file path,
which that early return never reaches. Stay inside one file — the common case in
a large document — and nothing was ever reclaimed.
Nothing failed loudly; it just degraded. Measured over 30 in-file navigations on
a 1018-chunk PDF:
mounted chunks 11 -> 270 now 11 -> 18
pane widgets 440 -> 14,551 now 440 -> 1,021
containers 23 now bounded
navigation median 2,739ms now 1,335ms
navigation max 7,788ms now 2,453ms
scroll reversals 6 now 0
Textual's arrange is linear in widget count, so by the thirtieth navigation each
layout pass was walking 14.5k widgets; the scroll commits then landed far enough
apart to be seen as separate movements. A fresh session looked fine, which is
what made this hard to catch — and why the regression test needs a fixture above
FULLMOUNT_CHUNK_BUDGET: a smaller file is mounted whole, every jump scrolls in
place, and the leaking path never runs. The first version of that test passed
with the fix reverted.
``sweep_stranded_containers`` is extracted and called from both paths, with
``prune_active_to_window`` on the same-file branch.
## Above-window sized in rows, not chunks
Everything mounted ABOVE the focus must build before the reveal, since it decides
where the match lands; everything below need not. A fixed chunk count misprices
that for every format at once — a PDF chunk is a page (30-60 rows), a markdown
chunk one heading's section (2-3 rows). Seven pages is several screens of
waiting; seven short sections is less than the context margin, which pins the
match to the top with nothing above it.
``above_window_start`` walks up until roughly a viewport of estimated rows is
covered, bounded by VISIBLE_FIRST_ABOVE. Real terminal, 3x40 navigations: first
paint 1796 -> 1493ms, the finalize's build wait 1457 -> 848ms, the
reconcile-to-scroll gap 731 -> 517ms.
## Prefetch pre-mount
The structural pre-mount only pays off if the container it builds survives to be
used, and PREVIEW_CACHE_MAX_FILES is 1, so the next put always evicts it. It was
not free: one keypress inside a single file re-mounted the same four neighbouring
files every time — 13 prefetch passes over 11 presses, each of the four rebuilt
12-13 times, all on the event loop the navigation's own scroll is waiting on. The
decode and flat bundles are kept; those are cached somewhere unbounded and do get
used.
## Reading-View restore
``_restore_structural`` re-anchored for a fixed twelve refreshes, which is a proxy
for "until the layout stops moving" and breaks whenever the layout moves for
longer than the proxy allows. It now tops its budget up while the preview
pipeline is still working, bounded so a wedged pipeline cannot hold the loop open.
## Instrumentation
``first_paint`` (on both reveal paths) and one line per pane-scroll site. Inferring
first paint by diffing captured frames measures how MUCH of the pane changed
rather than when, which mis-ranks any design that paints early and fills in
behind it. Four test stand-ins model ``diag_log`` rather than production code
defending against their absence.
2484 passed, 3 skipped; pyright clean.
One session now spans a whole navigation. It opens in render_full_doc, where the scroll anchor is armed — the single event every navigation passes through — so the line is up before any work starts, and a tracker samples the pipeline each tick to decide where it has got to and when it is done. The tracker READS the pipeline rather than being called from it. That is what removes the class of bug the old strip kept producing: sixteen show/hide calls scattered through the mount path, each guarded by hand, any stale one able to retire a newer navigation's bar. Those three methods stay (they still scroll-lock the pane) but no longer own the line, so the mount path cannot strand or steal it. The mount phase is measured against the mount WINDOW, not the file. A 1018-chunk PDF only ever mounts +/-7 chunks, so the old denominator capped the bar near 1% before it disappeared. Two things measurement changed on the way: The per-phase ease is hyperbolic, not exponential. Both asymptote, but an exponential tail dies as e^-t: on a phase overrunning its expectation 5x, the line painted the same cell for 1.30 s. With a 1/t tail that worst case is 0.50 s, and the second visit — paced by what the first one actually cost — is 0.05 s. A session cannot end on the scroll controller alone. is_settling is set when a navigation arms and cleared only when its scroll commits, and nothing releases it on a reset (release() has one caller, in the lazy mounter). A query returning no results would have pinned the line until the 12 s cap; the tracker checks there is still something to land on. Three strand tests bundled bar assertions with latch assertions. The latch is still hand-maintained and still guarded here; the bar half moved to tests that own it. One more fixed-pause wait for the strip to clear is now gated on the widget's state.
An open_modal=False run — which is what auto-resume starts on launch, and what "Background" leaves behind — reported nothing after its opening toast. The machine could be texturising for minutes with no indication. The tracker samples IndexerService.state rather than draining the event queue: that queue has one consumer, the modal, and a second reader would steal its events. The modal keeps its richer display and stays the drill-in; when it is open it sits on its own screen and hides this line, which is right, because it shows strictly more. The label carries the page counter from the per-file heartbeat when a PDF is being texturised. During one large PDF the file counter does not move at all, so without it a multi-minute file reads as frozen — the same complaint one level down. Reading View is deliberately not wired. Its cost is real (hiding the sidebar re-wraps every mounted chunk) but the toggle is synchronous and Textual exposes no layout-pending signal, so a session there would show a minimum-visible fill after the work had already finished. Better nothing than theatre.
Pressing Enter blocked the loop for the whole search — tantivy round trips, fusion, cascade, rerank — so nothing could paint and the UI was simply frozen for the duration. run() now splits three ways: * prepare, on the loop: parsing, validation and both MatchSpec builds. Cheap, and a malformed query has to raise its notice on the same frame. searcher.reload() stays here too — it mutates. * execute, on a worker thread: only the search, against a frozen request that holds no reference to the app or the controller. It writes nothing, which is what makes a superseded search harmless. * commit, back on the loop: the teardown block verbatim and in its original order, behind a generation guard. Textual cancels a superseded thread worker but cannot interrupt it, so the old search always runs to completion and always arrives. The generation guard is therefore the mechanism, not a precaution, and it is the first statement in _commit. _marshal covers the other half of that: a search still in flight when the app shuts down has no DOM to commit to. That surfaced as a genuinely failed worker (NoMatches on #results_pane) in the filters-panel test. Shutdown is not an error; a failure while the app is still running is, so that still propagates. match_spec / evidence_spec / current_query now land at commit time rather than prepare time. That is the more correct behaviour as well as the necessary one: while a query is in flight the preview keeps the previous query's highlights and cache signature instead of being repainted for results that have not arrived. on_mount can no longer read groups straight after run(), so it focuses the query bar and lets _refresh_results_tree claim focus once results land — the same end state by a different route. Tests: 20 files gated on a new SearchController.idle signal via a run_search helper, rather than on a pause count.
Reported from real use: the preview loaded fully but the line stayed part-filled until the user navigated away and came back. _landing() read `is_settling and (active or parent_id)`. The last two stay true for good once a file is on screen, so the whole condition rested on is_settling — which is set when a navigation arms its scroll anchor and cleared only when THAT scroll commits. PreviewScrollController.release() has exactly one caller in the codebase (the lazy mounter), and dispatch_mount has paths that cancel and rebuild without ever reconciling, so the flag can stay set indefinitely. The 12 s hard cap was the only thing bounding it, which is the wrong shape for something the user reads as 'stuck'. It now also requires inflight_target. That latch is set in exactly one place and cleared in five, including reveal_active — which the reveal watchdog invokes within REVEAL_WATCHDOG_MS even when a reveal never happens, so unlike the settling flag it cannot stay set. Requiring both means the line lives only while the two agree work is outstanding, and a reset still ends it (a committed search clears the latch explicitly). Also: the filled run is drawn with the pane border's own rule rather than the heavy one. At heavy weight it drew the eye away from the content — progress is ambient information, not an alert. Only colour separates fill from track now. The next lever, if it still reads as loud, is dimming the accent rather than changing the glyph again. The renderer tests asserted on glyph identity, which goes trivially true once both glyphs match; they classify segments by style instead, so they still prove the split exists. ARCHITECTURE.md gains a section on the line, and a concurrency-table row recording that Textual only marks a thread worker cancelled — the search generation guard is load-bearing, not defensive.
…nternally Textual's DataTable defaults to ``max-height: 100h`` — one VIEWPORT height — so a markdown table with more rows than fit on screen became a nested scroll region with its own vertical scrollbar. Scrolling the document into such a table scrolled the table instead, until it bottomed out. No content was unreachable, and nothing about the rendering changes: same borders, zebra striping, column widths, cell formatting and highlighting. What changes is where the scrolling happens — the table becomes part of the document's own scroll rather than a window onto itself. Only tables taller than the viewport are affected, which is why this has gone unnoticed; most are shorter. Measured on a real 81-row table (WTE Bootstrap cheatsheet, seq 56): 44 rows on screen with a scrollbar, now all 81 with none. Its chunk grows from 44 rows to 109, as any other chunk of that much content would. The reason to do it now is that a nested scroll region cannot be flattened into a run of Strips, so a table capped this way was the one thing a chunk capture could not represent — it would have held only the visible rows. Across three collections the share of chunks that could not be captured goes from 3.4% to zero, and the matched table cells recovered rise with it (UDA 23 -> 47). An explicit ceiling rather than a keyword: Textual rejects ``none``, and ``100%`` resolves against the viewport exactly as ``100h`` does, so both leave the cap in place. 358 table/markdown/preview/scroll/reading tests pass. Navigation on a table-heavy collection is unaffected: 22 of 30 navigations stay in-window at ~0ms with no multi-frame settles.
Reported: a rapid nav sweep left the line sitting at full for 20 s+, clearing only minutes later. The hold-open was real and the cap that should have caught it did not, because it measured from the last `begin`. The paint check re-enters render_full_doc on a failed reveal and a sweep supersedes constantly, so a stuck line was handed a fresh budget every time and outlived any cap. It now measures from the last SUBSTANTIVE update — a phase change, a change in reported units, or a change of label — and a superseding begin deliberately does not count as one. Two earlier attempts at this were wrong in instructive ways, both caught by measurement rather than reasoning: * Measuring 'has the fill moved' is not enough. The eased fraction creeps for as long as a phase runs, so a stuck operation drifts a cell every second or two indefinitely — movement that comes from the model guessing, not from anything happening. * A blunt cap on total visible time retires a long operation that is legitimately progressing, which is the original complaint inverted. A slow PDF holds the file counter still for minutes while the page counter is the only sign of life; that line must stay. Also here: * tick() can no longer raise. Textual hands a timer-callback exception to App._handle_exception, which takes the whole app down — a progress bar must not be able to do that. (It does NOT stop the timer, as an earlier version of this comment claimed.) * A one-shot watchdog on its own timer clears the line even if the tick loop is lost, so no single mechanism can strand it. * An active session paints at most 0.97. A full line is reserved for the completion animation, so 'full' always means finished and a stall while working is visibly distinct from a stall in the clear. * Calibration no longer records superseded sessions: a stuck, repeatedly re-dispatched operation was teaching the model that its phases are slow. Only completed work sets the pace. * Calibration no longer writes to disk while recording. It flushed on a 5 s throttle from the completion path, which put file I/O on the event loop in the middle of the navigation the line exists to smooth. The app flushes on unmount instead. Measured in a real app: a stuck line retires in 8.0 s with or without a re-dispatch storm; an index with a live page counter stays up indefinitely.
One navigation reconciles more than once — the finalize commits the landing,
then the background fill re-anchors after revealing the chunks it mounted above
the match. ``_generation`` only cancels chains from an OLDER navigation, so both
ran at the same generation and neither cancelled the other: two chains, two
committed scrolls, and the retry budget spent twice.
Measured over 30 in-file navigations on a 1018-chunk PDF:
navigations committing >1 scroll 22/30 -> 3/30
retry ticks, median 62 -> 48
navigations with >1 visible move 5/30 -> 4/30
Two scrolls landing at different moments is what a reader sees as the preview
settling in steps instead of going to the match, so the invariant worth holding
is "at most one commit per navigation" rather than any particular timing.
A monotonic epoch, bumped by ``arm()`` and by every ``reconcile()``, is handed to
the strategy in place of the generation. Its existing freshness guard then
cancels a superseded chain within a navigation as well as across navigations, so
the older chain stops rescheduling rather than running its budget out alongside
the newer one.
The reveal latch is held on the controller and inherited, because the two cases
differ. Superseded by a newer CHAIN: stay silent — that chain holds this latch
and fires it when it lands; revealing here would surface the container before the
newer scroll commits, which is the flash-then-jump this path exists to prevent.
Superseded by a newer NAVIGATION: fire, because the reveal floor still applies
(it is identity-guarded, so it no-ops on a stale container).
Latency is unaffected. Interleaved A/B against the committed state, 4 rounds
alternating so machine drift falls on both variants equally: build wait +10ms,
reconcile-to-scroll +87ms, first paint +30ms, time-to-quiet -80ms. An earlier
non-interleaved comparison put the cost at +290ms; that was the machine, not the
change, which is why dev/tools/ab_nav.py now exists.
The regression test pins the controller, not a driven app. An end-to-end version
was written first and discarded: it passed with the fix reverted, because the
autouse fixtures pin preview debounce and prefetch to 0 and the second chain
never materialises in-suite. The end-to-end numbers above come from
dev/tools/nav_jump_probe.py against a real corpus at real defaults.
450 preview/scroll/nav/match tests pass.
…ult) The preview's cost is not rendering markdown, it is holding widgets: Textual's arrange is linear in widget count, and a chunk is tens of them. Phase 3 background-fills a whole file so an intra-file jump lands on an already-mounted chunk instead of rebuilding — which works, and leaves a real file holding 99 chunks and 2,735 widgets, taxing every interaction thereafter. Freezing keeps what Phase 3 buys and drops what it costs. A built chunk is captured as the Strips it painted and replaced by one widget that serves them by row, so the chunk is still there to jump to at ~1 widget instead of ~28. Measured on a real 99-chunk file: 2,735 -> 805 widgets, all 99 still mounted. Against the arrange curve (400 chunks: 41.7ms as widget trees, 2.1ms frozen) that is roughly 25ms -> 4ms per layout pass, a frame and a half down to a quarter of one. Fidelity is not re-implemented and so cannot drift: the chunk is still built by the real FNDMarkdown, and the strips are that tree's own output. Tables, fenced code, list bullets, inline formatting and the match highlighting all survive because none of them are re-derived. Verified against the live tree on three collections — every line it painted, plus the match stops and matched table cells as row numbers. Capture drives a Compositor directly. ``Widget.render_lines`` renders only a widget's OWN content — children are composed over it by the Screen — so capturing a container that way returns strips that are styled but EMPTY, which looks exactly like the technique being impossible; this is why a previous attempt was recorded as ruled out. ``Compositor.render_strips`` takes an explicit size, so a chunk taller than the terminal captures in full. Two things learned by measuring rather than reasoning: * the sweep runs AFTER the fill, not per chunk during it. A chunk mounted a moment ago is not laid out, ``size.height`` is 0, and ``freeze`` rightly refuses it — inline attempts failed on all 72 chunks of a real file; * the trigger is the background fill, not ``prune_active_to_window``. Prune returns early below its window threshold, which the container-reclaim fix now keeps it under, so a prune-time trigger never fired at all. Positions are captured while the widgets still exist, which is the point: a match — or a table cell — resolved against a live tree is what races today, since a DataTable's cell region is unresolvable until its rows lay out. A row number recorded at capture time cannot race. Chunks containing a widget that scrolls INSIDE the chunk are refused and stay live: a nested viewport cannot be flattened onto a run of strips. Since tables now lay out in full that is nothing in practice, but the guard is what makes the technique safe in general, so it is tested rather than assumed unreachable. Off by default behind _FND_FREEZE_BACKFILL=1 pending real-terminal measurement of width invalidation (a Reading View toggle re-wraps, so every capture is dropped). 456 tests pass with it off, 434 with it on.
…eeze the lot The first cut of freezing captured chunks and swapped them in, but left the things that READ a chunk still looking for widget trees. A frozen chunk is not an FNDMarkdown, so it contributed nothing to ``enumerate_stop_regions`` or the data-only stop count: its matches quietly dropped out of n/b navigation and the off-screen markers, and a navigation targeting it landed on the chunk top rather than the match. Nothing raised. Keeping the visible window live hid it, because the current result's chunk was always one of the live ones. Wires the three readers to the metadata the capture already held: * ``_match_line_offset`` takes the frozen chunk's recorded first-match row. The live path descends into child widgets to find the match, and freezing is precisely the removal of those children. * ``enumerate_stop_regions`` emits one region per recorded stop row. * ``MatchNavigator._stops_within`` counts recorded stops, so the footer hint and ``current_chunk_has_stops`` stay honest about what n/b can reach. Capture also double-counted table matches: it recorded a row for every match block INCLUDING the table's own cell blocks, then added the cell rows again. ``enumerate_stop_regions`` skips those blocks deliberately — the table owns its cells — and the capture now applies the same rule. A frozen chunk reported 6 stops where the live one reported 5; a parity test pins them equal. With the readers wired, the window no longer has to stay live, which was the whole reason the earlier numbers fell short of the design's intent. Both policies settle at the same DOM — 263 widgets on a real 99-chunk file — because every navigation re-freezes what the last left behind; freezing the window too simply arrives sooner (401 after the initial fill against 688). Measured after twelve real navigations: 92 chunks, all 92 frozen, none live, one widget each. Against 2,735 unfrozen that is a 10x reduction overall, and 30x on the chunk portion. The remaining 171 widgets are not chunks: six live FNDMarkdown trees belonging to a container other than the active one, which the sweep does not walk. Same class as the container-reclaim fix and worth its own look. Also makes the sweep recur. Freezing once after the initial fill is not enough — lazy mount and each later navigation mount more chunks live, so DOM crept back from 402 to 805 over twenty navigations. It now re-freezes around each landing. 457 tests pass with the flag off and on.
Chunk freezing has been measured on the real corpus and driven by hand, and is now the default; ``_FND_NO_FREEZE=1`` opts out. On a real 99-chunk file: 2,735 -> 263 widgets, with every chunk still mounted and jumpable at one widget each. Match navigation, the off-screen markers and scroll-to-cell all read the rows recorded at capture time, so nothing about reaching a match changes. 457 tests pass either way. The swap is layout-neutral, which is what makes it invisible: across 47 real chunks the capture's height matched the height the widget tree occupied every time, so replacing a tree with its capture moves nothing on the page.
Reclamation ran on cross-file dispatch and the same-file rebuild path only. Inside
one file every jump is an in-window scroll and neither path runs, so a container
stranded by an earlier navigation survived for the whole session.
Measured on a real 99-chunk file, twelve in-window navigations after the strand
appeared: one stranded container still held 6 live chunk trees and 169 widgets —
more DOM than the 92 frozen chunks of the file actually being read, and the
dominant remaining term once freezing had dealt with the rest.
containers 2 -> 1 live chunk trees 6 -> 0 pane widgets 263 -> 93
93 widgets for 92 chunks: one per chunk, which is where freezing was always meant
to land.
Also stops the sweep removing ``outgoing``. That is the previous file, held on
screen deliberately so the incoming one can build behind it and swap in without a
blank frame; it is neither active nor cached, so it looked exactly like a strand.
Nothing had reached that case yet — the sweep only ran on paths that set outgoing
after sweeping — but calling it from a third place makes the order no longer
something to rely on.
The test asserts the sweep is REACHED from the in-window landing, not that a
strand disappears. A first version checked the strand and passed with the fix
reverted, because the navigation it drove took the rebuild path after all and was
swept by the old call site.
458 tests pass.
Groundwork for composing the preview as ONE widget per file. A container's virtual size is assigned BY the layout pass, so any scroll that compensates for content added above is validated against a stale extent — measured, a 7-row error, or three frames of drift when corrected afterwards. A ScrollView owns its virtual size, so content, extent and offset move in one synchronous block. FrozenDocument assembles captured chunks into document rows (bisect lookup) and carries the match, stop and table-cell positions across a prepend. FrozenDocumentView serves those rows and keeps the viewport still while growing in either direction. Not wired to anything yet; behaviour is unchanged.
`fraction` is a Textual reactive, so assigning it repaints the row. The eased value changes by a fraction of a percent on every tick, so the line was repainting 20 times a second to draw the identical cells — event-loop work during exactly the navigation it exists to make feel smoother. Paint only when the quantised cells, the label or the visibility would differ. Measured on a live 3 s session: 61 repaints before, 11 after. Found while investigating a Windows CI failure in test_reading_view_preserves_match_position. That test fails on main too, with the identical assertion, so it is a pre-existing flake rather than something this branch introduced — but the progress tick loop IS live during the Reading View toggle it measures (verified: a preview.cold session active, timer running), so the waste was worth removing on its own merits whether or not it moves that test. Also folds four near-identical copies of the progress stubs into tests/_progress_stubs.py. They encode a contract with ProgressFacility — the first time it started reading content_size, three of them broke at once, which is the duplication earning nothing but deferred breakage. The timer stub documents that Textual's Timer._active is the PAUSE flag and that _task is the liveness signal, since reading the former as liveness produces a check that is always true.
Both preview substrates are the same widget at heart — a ScrollView holding one Strip per visual row, served through the line API so cost is bounded by terminal height rather than document size. The flat buffer already implemented all of it; the frozen markdown path was about to implement it a second time. Pulls the substrate-agnostic half out: extent, viewport paint, scroll-with- retries that survives being called before layout, scrollbar match markers, and multi-line selection. Subclasses supply their strips and their addressing. A base class rather than reuse in place, because the width rebuild cannot be inherited: the flat path re-renders FileView.lines, and doing that to a frozen capture would re-render markdown as plain text and silently discard tables, fences and highlighting. _rebuild_for_width is a hook, so no inherited path can reach the wrong one. Behaviour is unchanged — no test file is touched. LineBufferPreview keeps its public surface (scroll_to_line, match_lines, top_logical_line) as thin aliases over the base.
FrozenDocumentView now subclasses StripDocumentView, so the viewport paint, the scroll that survives being called before layout, the scrollbar match markers and multi-line selection all come from one place instead of two. A document row is the address here — unlike the flat buffer there is no wrap step between them — so the substrate supplies only its strips and its chunk lookups. Frozen documents gain three things they did not have: markers on the scrollbar, multi-line copy, and the base's segment compositing, which paints plain-text cells at the widget's cascaded background rather than letting them fall through to the terminal default. prepend keeps issuing its compensating scroll directly rather than through scroll_to_address: that path can defer itself to a later refresh when the widget is not laid out, and a deferred compensation is the drift prepend exists to avoid. Mutation-checked — reversing the order drifts the viewport. Adds document-level parity: three real chunks assembled into a document reach the same stop count and put each chunk's first match on the same row as the live widget tree. Mutation-checked with a one-row error in match_row.
Fourteen of eighteen adopted; each verified against the code first. Real defects the review found: * The watchdog (8 s) sat BELOW the stall cap (10 s), both measured from the same instant, so it won every retirement and the stall path was dead code. Everything went through _force_clear — a superseded retirement, which skips the completion animation AND the calibration sample. My own probe measured "retired after 8.0 s" and I recorded it as the watchdog without noticing that made the tick loop's branch unreachable. Watchdog is now 15 s: the loop retires, the watchdog only covers a loop that is gone. * _force_clear dropped the watchdog and then returned early when the widget could not be resolved — which is the normal state while a modal is up, and a background index deliberately sits behind one. Only real progress re-arms it, and a stalled session makes none, so the backstop was gone for the rest of the session. It re-arms instead. * plan_for read _preview.active, which the flat path leaves as None. Every PDF and TXT navigation was therefore priced as cold, including a jump inside the file already on screen — the heavy case — and warm samples were polluting the cold calibration. Now asks showing_parent(). * _prepare claimed the generation only after a successful parse, so a malformed query typed during a search marked the IN-FLIGHT generation as committed. That worker passed the guard in _commit, restored its stale results and wiped the error notice. * reload() reassigns the Searcher's inner snapshot, and a worker mid- search reads it more than once (fusion issues several sub-queries), so one search could be served from two index generations. Reload only when nothing is executing. Scope lists are copied into the request rather than referenced. * flush() cleared the dirty flag before writing, so a failed write left the store marked clean and nothing was retried once storage recovered. * json.loads accepts Infinity, which passes a bare >= filter, reaches weights() as inf/inf = nan, and stops the bar advancing. Corrupt lines are already an expected case here; non-finite ones are now too. * No progress call may abort its host. Three entry points are wrapped, per the convention the surrounding code already uses for optional integrations. * The chain position was computed twice, and this copy had lost the clamp — "CPL (0 of 4)". One helper now, shared with the modal title. Two were my own test bugs, both tests that could not fail: * The staleness assertion in test_search_off_loop was satisfied by the winning query alone, so a stale commit would have passed it. * My run_search sweep serialised test_preview_stale_highlight_echo, whose entire subject is two searches interleaving. It issues both again. Both new regression tests were verified to fail with their fix reverted. Declined, with reasons: * Capping a countable phase in the model: the facility already caps an active session at _ACTIVE_CEILING, so this would be a second cap and would falsify the model's own "units reached the total" assertion. * Caching the widget to skip the per-tick DOM query: measured at 0.9 us, 0.018 ms per second of runtime. Caching a Textual widget reference is also the exact pattern behind this codebase's recurring blank-preview bug, which is a poor trade for that.
…get tree The freeze sweep already captures every chunk the user reads, then threw those captures away with the container. Keeping them makes a return visit to a file a synchronous scroll: no build wait, no settle barrier, no retry chain — which is where the measured navigation latency actually lives. A stored document is a CONTIGUOUS run of chunks, not necessarily the whole file. Completeness is not attainable — the background fill stops the moment the user takes scroll control, so a 41-chunk file typically captures 40 — but a run is self-consistent for every chunk inside it, and it is served only when the target chunk is in it. A gap would silently shift every row after it, so gaps end the run instead. One strategy now serves both single-widget substrates. FlatScrollStrategy takes the view through a getter and addresses it in the shared vocabulary, so the flat line buffer and the frozen document share 60 synchronous lines rather than each needing their own; StructuralScrollStrategy's ~650 lines of proxies, anchors and settle budget are needed only by the per-chunk tree. Off by default behind _FND_DOC_PREVIEW=1 — the substrate is complete but has not had the hand-driven session on a real corpus that every other default flip on this branch got. Known gap while it is off: strips are width-locked and the frozen _rebuild_for_width is still a no-op, so a resize must invalidate the store before this can ship on. The store key is the PANE width, not the capture's own width: a chunk renders narrower than the pane by the container's padding (measured 63 against 64), so keying on the capture would miss on every lookup.
* The loader still filtered phase durations with a bare `>= _MIN_SAMPLE_MS`. The previous commit added `_usable()` and claimed both paths used it; in fact the edit silently missed the loader, because an earlier lint fix had dedented that block and the replacement no longer matched. `record()` was guarded, `_load()` was not — so a corrupt file with `Infinity` still reached `weights()` as `inf/inf = nan` and froze the line. The test that would have caught it was suggested in the first review and I did not write it; it exists now, and fails with the guard reverted. * SEARCH declares `query` and `results`, but nothing ever entered `results`. The line was capped at the query phase's share for the whole operation, and calibration never saw a `results` duration, so its weight stayed at the seed permanently. `_commit` enters it — that stage is real, measurable work (cache teardown, results rebuild, filters aggregation). Both regression tests were verified to fail with their fix reverted.
Captures are width-locked. Unlike the flat buffer they cannot be re-wrapped — there is no text left to re-render, only strips — so a width change invalidates rather than reflows, and the widget path re-captures at the new width on its way through. Correctness deliberately does NOT depend on the resize event firing at the right moment. on_resize runs before layout, so the width read there is still the old one — measured, and it is why a one-shot "has the width changed?" guard latched the stale value and never fired again. Instead: * the store key carries the width, so a lookup at the current width cannot return a capture cut for another one; * active_document_view re-measures the pane every time it is asked, so a stale document on screen can never be scrolled or served; * put() evicts other widths, since a put always carries a settled width. A HEIGHT-only resize keeps every capture: a vertical window drag must not rebuild everything the user has already read. Mutation-checked by making the store ignore width in its key, which serves the old-width capture and fails the test.
A harvested run stops short of the file — the background fill bails the moment the user takes scroll control, so a 41-chunk file typically captures 40, and a jump to the tail falls back to the rebuild the substrate exists to avoid. Warming mounts the missing chunks into the container already on screen, captures them, and extends the document at whichever end they belong to. Growth stays contiguous by construction: only chunks immediately before or after the run are taken, and a failure at one end stops THAT end. Two directional loops rather than one, because a single loop cannot express "stop growing down but keep going up" — and a skip in either direction leaves a hole that shifts every row past it. When the document is on screen the growth goes through the view's own prepend/append, so extent and scroll offset move in one synchronous block and the reader's position never shifts. This is what the atomic prepend was built for; until now nothing called it. Runs after a delay: warming is for the jump AFTER this one, so it must never compete with the paint the user is waiting on. Acceptance is COVERAGE, not latency — which jumps can be served without a rebuild — because latency measurements on this branch have been misleading three separate times. Mutation-checked by disabling the warm task, which leaves the run short and fails the test.
Picks up #104, which root-caused the CI flake this branch kept drawing a red X from: test_reading_view_preserves_match_position toggled Reading View before the initial navigation had landed, so locate() captured a mid-landing position and the restore faithfully reproduced a position that had never been right. is_settling clears when the scroll is ISSUED, not when it lands. That also retires the open question about this branch. The tick timer IS live during that toggle and I could not rule it out from CI statistics; the actual cause was a test gating on a signal that never meant what it claimed. Two conflicts, both in files the two changes had each edited. Took main's version wholesale for both and re-applied only the async-search gating on top: mine is mechanical (search runs off the loop now, so a bare run() under-waits), #104's is a considered rewrite — including dropping the sig line my side had kept.
…acuous test Measured on the real corpus, warming made WTE navigation WORSE — 170ms -> 579ms median across 14 downs — by reintroducing exactly what the pipeline work removed: background filling that competes with the scroll the user is waiting on. Three causes, three fixes: * it mounted while the controller was still settling. It now yields to an in-flight landing, the same signal lazy_mount already respects; * it settled once PER CHUNK, slow enough that a 117-chunk file reached 33 before the next navigation cancelled it. Now one settle per batch of 8; * every in-file navigation re-harvested, cancelled the task mid-batch and restarted from the same short run. A warm task for the same file is now left alone. It also no longer grows UPWARD while the container is the visible substrate: mounting above the viewport shoves content down, which is why the original background fill filled below only. Removes the warming coverage test, which was vacuous — the fifth on this branch. Its fixture sat UNDER the full-mount budget, where the background fill already covers the whole file, so the assertion was true before warming ran. With a fixture that genuinely needs warming (above the budget) the harvest does not fire at all, so the benefit is currently unproven rather than proven. Recorded limit: warming needs a laid-out container, because capture needs real geometry. Serving a document hides the container (display: none), which zeroes layout and makes freeze refuse — so warming cannot run in the state where it would help most. On a real 1018-chunk file it moved coverage 11 -> 28.
Warming was blocked by the way its container was hidden, not by anything
structural. Probed directly — same chunk, four hosts, captured at an explicit
size:
visible 94x39 853 chars
display:none 0x0 0 chars (freeze refuses)
opacity:0 94x39 853 chars (identical to visible)
offscreen 94x39 853 chars (identical to visible)
Capture needs real geometry, and display:none has none — an explicit compositor
size does not rescue it. opacity:0 keeps the layout and captures identically.
The container whose document is being warmed now uses `-warming` (opacity),
every other one keeps `-hidden` (display), so the DOM saving is unchanged for
all but the one file being captured. The class is dropped when warming ends,
because a laid-out widget tree is exactly the cost this substrate removes.
This also unblocks UPWARD growth, which was previously unreachable: an
opacity:0 container cannot visibly shift, so mounting above the viewport is
safe, and FrozenDocumentView.prepend keeps the served document still.
The mechanism was already in this file — `-pre-reveal { opacity: 0% }` exists
for the same reason, with a comment explaining that visibility:hidden breaks
scrolling. Reaching for display:none was the error.
Pins the difference as a test, because it is invisible in the source: both read
as "hide it", and picking the wrong one silently disables warming rather than
breaking anything.
This reverts commit 0baf2da.
Measured on the real corpus (CPL, 1018-chunk guide, 34 navigations):
median nav 1750ms -> 607ms
states>1 28/34 -> 18/34
coverage -- -> 670 of 1018 chunks
Three changes, each from a measurement rather than a guess:
1. Chunks are built and captured on an installed, non-current Screen
(warm_host). Every way of hiding a live container is wrong: display:none
zeroes the layout so freeze refuses; opacity:0 keeps the geometry but blends
foreground into background, producing a capture with all its characters and
fg == bg on every segment — present and invisible, cached and served blank
(that shipped, and was reverted); an off-viewport offset captures correctly
but stays in flow, costing 13.1ms vs 0.5ms of arrange and collapsing the 1fr
document view. A suspended screen costs nothing per tick because the
compositor walks the active screen only.
2. Warming no longer dies with the container it started under. It required
is_live(container), which tied coverage to a widget tree navigation
replaces, so warming stopped on the first jump and never resumed. That, not
cost, is what capped coverage at 83 of 1018: a chunk costs 8.5ms to build
and capture, so the whole file is ~12.5s of background work, and 400
consecutive real chunks produced zero refusals.
3. Progress is published per batch instead of at the end. A file switch cancels
warming routinely, and publishing only on completion discarded everything
captured up to that point.
Still behind _FND_DOC_PREVIEW=1. states>1 is improved but not solved, and its
root cause is still open — the remaining signature is a settled content landing
before the scroll commits, which is upstream of this substrate.
…efects Five fixes to the warming path, four of them from an adversarial review of the previous commit. All were introduced by that commit. MEMORY. MAX_DOCUMENTS = 4 was chosen when a captured document held a handful of chunks; warming grows one to the whole file, so the count capped the wrong quantity. Measured on the real corpus: 44.5 KB per captured chunk (1670 bytes per row), so 1463 chunks is 63.5 MB and four of those 254 MB. Rows are what grow, so rows are budgeted — 20,000 (~33 MB), evicted oldest-first, never the document just stored (it is the one on screen, and dropping it would rebuild what the user is reading). Warming stops at the same budget rather than growing a document that would only be evicted for its size. WIDGET LEAK ON CANCELLATION. capture()'s cleanup was `finally: with suppress(Exception): await widget.remove()`. CancelledError is a BaseException and it lands ON the await, so the removal was skipped exactly when it was needed — and cancellation is how warming normally ends. Measured: 12 stranded widget trees across 29 cancellations, ~28 widgets each, unbounded over a session and invisible to the row budget because strands are widgets, not rows. Now unawaited under suppress(BaseException); remove() posts the removal by itself. Mutation-checked: the awaited form strands 6 trees and slows the test from 0.6s to 4 minutes, which is the message-pump tail of the same bug. STALE HIGHLIGHTING. capture() read the app's live match spec while still_valid() was only checked BETWEEN batches, so a query change mid-batch produced up to 8 chunks highlighted for the new query, appended to a document filed under the old query's key where nothing can ever correct them. The caller now snapshots the spec and passes it in. EVICTION STORM. publish() carried the width snapshot from task start, and put() evicts captures of other widths — so a warm task outliving a resize wiped every correctly-sized document, and per-batch publishing turned one bad write into a repeating one. Publishing is skipped once the pane width has moved. SUPERSEDED QUERIES. A reset now cancels warming and clears the store instead of leaving captures that can never be served while they hold row budget. Also removes WarmHost.dispose(), which had no callers: one screen holding one empty container lives for the session and each captured widget is removed in the finally, so an uncalled teardown method only advertised a cleanup nobody did.
…ture cache Navigation lag and multi-second freezes traced to four causes, each found by measurement on the real corpus rather than inspection. Whole-subtree CSS restyle. `add_class`/`remove_class` call `App.update_styles`, which walks every descendant and re-runs selector matching on each. A preview container is hundreds of widgets and gets toggled on every activation. Sampling the main thread whenever the event loop went away put 108 of 110 samples inside `Stylesheet.apply`, over half reached through this walk. `preview/visibility.py` restyles only the node, which is sound while a class is never an ancestor selector and never changes descendant geometry; both conditions are enforced by tests rather than trusted. Revisit repro: 21 stalls to 1. `is-loading` hid the pane scrollbar with `scrollbar-size-vertical: 0`, which removed the gutter and so re-wrapped the whole document twice per navigation. It now hides the bar by colour, leaving geometry alone. The capture cache was emptied continuously. The resize sweep compared every capture against the pane's CONTENT width, but captures are filed under the scrollbar-stable outer width; the keys differ by exactly the scrollbar, so the sweep dropped everything each time it ran. The store now holds ten files where it held two. One oversized chunk could freeze the UI for seconds. Textual builds the widget on the event loop, and a 120,123-character chunk took 4,424ms to build into 7,184 rendered rows against a 5.3ms median. Over 40,000 characters a chunk takes the flat per-line path, decided in `uses_markdown_renderer` so the mount, the background warmer and match evidence cannot disagree. Also: captures now promote on read, so the file being read is no longer the first eviction candidate; neighbour warming survives cursor movement, since it is ordered around each file's own first hit rather than the cursor; and the landing index follows the results tree's score order rather than document order. `COVERAGE_MARGIN` 3 to 5 and `COVERAGE_SEED_FILES` added, both swept on the real corpus. Lowering the coverage idle ratio was measured and rejected: it buys almost nothing and nearly triples stalls.
The per-chunk capture path made the whole-document substrate redundant: both existed to avoid rebuilding a file on revisit, and captures do it without the parallel renderer, store, scroll strategy and warming machinery. It was also never on. `_FND_DOC_PREVIEW=1` opted in and nothing else did — yet it was still doing work on every navigation. `_harvest_document` ran at the end of every backfill sweep, and `active_document_view` was consulted by `is_painted`, `showing_parent` and the scroll-strategy selector, so a disabled feature sat in the live path. That turns out to be the cause of a landing bug that had resisted diagnosis: 3 of 48 navigations put the match above the viewport, deterministically and regardless of timing. Raising the scroll retry budget 30 to 200 changed nothing; so did gating the commit on a settled layout, and so did disabling freezing. Removing the substrate takes it to 0, stable across three runs — which is why no amount of scroll-timing work had touched it. Gone: FrozenDocumentView, FrozenDocument, FrozenDocumentStore, dispatch_document_mount, _warm_served_document, start_warming/_warm_document, _harvest_document, hide_document_view, active_document_view, document_preview_enabled, the document_view plumbing, _FND_DOC_PREVIEW, MAX_DOCUMENTS, the `-document` CSS and the two substrate test suites. Kept: WarmHost, freeze, FrozenChunk, FrozenChunkView, StripDocumentView. Capture retention is now bounded by bytes alone, the machine-scaled budget, rather than also by a document count. Real terminal after: 28 mounts, 189 chunks served against 59 built, 17 mounts served whole, 1 stall. Suite drops by exactly the 18 substrate tests removed.
`for _ in range(8): await pilot.pause()` is a wait only while the machine is idle. Under suite load the ticks pass without the work landing, and the test then asserts on a reveal that has not finished — which is how it failed once in a batch while passing in isolation and on re-run. It now waits for the things it actually cares about: the cache entry appearing, the switch away landing, and the revisit settling on the cached container with the progress strip idle. Honest limit: this is the documented-correct pattern rather than a proven fix. The original failure did not reproduce under eight CPU spinners, nor with a delay injected into the finalize path (a cache hit does not take it), so the change is justified by the failure mode it removes rather than by a red-to-green demonstration.
Two adversarial review passes against this branch; this is the whole response. Chunks lay out inside the pane's SCROLLABLE content region, which the vertical scrollbar shrinks by a column. `size` and `content_size` are the same value as each other and neither moves with the bar — so for any document long enough to need a scrollbar, which is every document this feature exists for, coverage cut its strips one column wider than the slot they were served into. The last cell of every row was cropped, the strips were wrapped for a width never displayed, and heights, first_match_row and the stop rows were all off with them. Freeze-sweep captures were unaffected, being cut from the widget's own width, so the store held two different real widths under one key. `capture_key_width` is therefore gone rather than corrected. It returned `size.width` while claiming to be an outer width a scrollbar does not move; both halves were false, and the mismatch it was credited with fixing did not exist — writer, reader and sweep were all on `content_size.width` before it. Filing width and render width are now one number, `capture_width`, which removes the parameter from eight signatures and closes the case where a pass adopts a new render width mid-resize but keeps the old key. The second pass found the same invariant broken the other way by that fix. `WarmHost` lays its screen out `_LAYOUT_HEIGHT` rows tall, so a chunk taller than that overflows its container, the container grows a scrollbar, and the chunk lays out a column narrower than asked for — while being filed under the width requested. The boundary is exactly the layout box (300 rendered rows captured at 76, 420 at 75) and it is reachable at ~9,500 characters, well inside the size cap. Fixed twice over so the class becomes impossible rather than merely absent: the jig no longer reserves a scrollbar column, and captures are filed under the capture's OWN width. The coverage plan loop also carried a width sampled once at pass start, so after a mid-pass resize every store lookup missed — each remaining file reported itself uncovered and paid a full decode, and already-held chunks were re-captured. It re-reads per file now. Tests: the width test that pinned the old behaviour was vacuous — it monkeypatched the width function, so writer and sweep called the same patched thing and it asserted a tautology, passing with the bug present. Replaced with one that refuses to run without a scrollbar and compares against a real mounted chunk's laid-out width. A second test drives the jig past its layout box. The size cap had no test at all and now has one. All three fail against the behaviour they pin. Also clears what the substrate deletion left behind — `PREVIEW_WARM_BATCH`, `FrozenChunk.is_valid_for`, `FlatScrollStrategy`'s view getter, `debug_keys`, `invalidate_documents_on_resize` renamed to `invalidate_captures_on_resize` — and the comments that outlived their code: two that had drifted onto unrelated attributes, one arguing for a value the constant does not hold, one blaming the scrollbar column on container padding, the store docstring still describing the scrollbar-stable key, and the size cap stating its measurements twice in blocks that disagreed about whether the flat path is fast. It is cheaper, not fast: measured at 1,596 lines, flat is 224ms render plus 725ms mount against 979ms structural — near parity, and the win on the real chunk comes from its structural cost being far above linear.
A resize left the preview painting truncated text. `FrozenChunkView` paints width-locked strips and `render_line` crops them to the widget, so shrinking the terminal removed the right-hand cells of every row of every frozen chunk — the text gone rather than re-wrapped — until the next navigation happened to rebuild the file. Measured on a 120-section document, 100 to 80 columns left 87 chunks short by 20 columns, and 11 of 17 rows on one chunk lost ink. The trigger has to be the view, not the pane. `App.on_resize` reaches the presenter through `call_after_refresh`, which runs BEFORE the re-layout: measured at that point the pane still reports its old width and every chunk its old size, so nothing looks stale and no repair ever ran. A widget's own Resize arrives after it has been laid out, carrying the new size — so `FrozenChunkView` reports its own staleness, once per width rather than once per event (a twelve-column drag otherwise produced 522 reports). The repair replaces the strips, not the DOM. A resize changes presentation, not content, so each stale view adopts a capture re-cut at the new width by the same off-screen builder that made the original. Nothing is unmounted, so the pane cannot blank and the mounted run cannot develop a hole. Rebuilding the file instead — the first approach — was measured at a 90ms blank and five full rebuilds for one drag, because a fresh container lays out at intermediate widths and so feeds its own trigger; a trailing-edge debounce made it worse, not better. Bounded, because unbounded it cost 349 captures and 13.8s for that same drag. Off-window chunks are pruned rather than re-captured — lazy mount refills them at the current width when scrolled to, the path that already serves never-mounted chunks — which brings it to 25 captures and 0.76s. The pass abandons if the width moves again, the user navigates or the query changes, and re-arms itself because reports arriving mid-pass are dropped; `STALE_STRIP_MAX_PASSES` is what makes that terminate when a capture keeps failing. Four details were wrong in earlier drafts and are easy to repeat. `Widget.region` is SCREEN-relative and NULL_REGION once the compositor culls a widget, so ordering and the drift correction use `virtual_region`. `prune_active_to_window` scrolls the pane, so the viewport is re-read after it — sampled before, the correction came out as the growth of the whole document, 126 rows where 9 was right. Textual defers removal, so pruned widgets still pass `is_mounted` and the survivor filter needs `is_live`, or the prune saves nothing. And a failed capture must clear the view's width latch, or that chunk can never report again. Also here, from the same review: Reading View invalidates captures (it moves the width 37 columns and orphaned the whole cache); `start_coverage` treats a `cancelling` task as gone, so Toggle Highlights no longer clears the cache and then leaves coverage dead; an abandoned decode no longer prints a traceback onto the restored terminal; the freeze sweep files under the capture's own width like the coverage writer; and a tautological assertion is gone from the size-cap test. Verified: 328 preview/scroll/coverage tests, ruff, pyright strict. The repair is measured — parity between off-screen and on-screen captures, no blanking, no container swap, convergence — and the re-arm and its bound are pinned by a test that fails if either is removed.
#104 added a completion callback to the reflow-restore (`_Once`, the `_restoring`/`_restores_completed` counters) so a caller can tell a landed restore from one that never started. This branch added a hard-capped budget top-up to the same loop, so it keeps re-anchoring while the mount pipeline is still adding chunks above the target. Both are kept. The structural loop now carries `done` AND `cap`, and calls `done()` when either the retry budget or the cap runs out — exhausting the budget still ends the restore, so the flag cannot outlive the loop. The flat strategy keeps this branch's substrate names (`_view()`, `scroll_to_address`) inside #104's try/finally. `_RESTORE_REFRESHES` and `_RESTORE_TAIL_REFRESHES` arrived as two constants of the same value; unified on the latter, which names what the budget is for now that it can be topped up.
…int, anchor liveness Audit of the 19 inline review comments plus the one outside-diff comment. Fifteen were verified against the code and fixed; four are argued down below. Behaviour, in descending order of what it costs a user: * `WarmHost.ensure` installs its screen under a FIXED name, and assigned `self._screen` only after `mount`. So a first call whose `mount` raised left the name taken with nothing recorded; every retry then raised on the duplicate, was swallowed by the same `except`, and returned `None` for the rest of the session. Warming — the whole point of this branch — would be silently dead, with the only symptom a preview that is permanently slow. Now reuses an installed screen. Tested, and the test fails with the reuse removed. * `current_chunk_has_stops` had no `FrozenChunkView` branch. Serving a capture replaces the chunk's widget tree and pops its match target, so the plain-chunk fallback read `None` and returned False — hiding the `n/b Matches` hint on a chunk where both keys work, because `enumerate_stop_regions` does handle the view. Introduced by this branch. Tested both ways. * The lazy-mount above-fill held `anchor_w` across `await_settled()`. The freeze sweep can swap that chunk for its capture and remove the widget while we yield, and the container check does not see it — a condemned widget's `virtual_region` then produces a delta that scrolls the pane somewhere nobody asked to be. Re-resolved through `chunk_widgets` and gated on `is_live`. * `_repair_stale_strips` measures with `outer_height`; the prune path subtracted `captured.height`, leaving the padding rows in the correction so the pane drifts. Dormant behind `_FND_FREEZE_ON_PRUNE`, wrong either way. * `freeze` refused an ancestor at opacity exactly 0. Textual animates opacity, so one mid-fade reports a small non-zero value and captures just as blank — the failure the guard exists to catch, and undetectable downstream. * `_rebuild_for_width` compared the guard against its `width` argument while `_rebuild_strips` re-read `self.size`, so the two could disagree about which width the wrap was cut at. Threaded through. * The prefetch sink drainer is a raw `create_task` Textual does not track, and `_on_exit_app` did not stop it — the same class of during-teardown work the method exists to stop. Cancelled and awaited. * `WarmHost` is serial, so an unbounded `build_done.wait()` stops every later capture for the session. Bounded by `WARM_BUILD_TIMEOUT`, logged on expiry. * `StallWatch.from_env` accepted `inf`/`nan`, which pass the lower bound and then silently disable every report. Naming and comments: * `row_of_chunk`/`first_match_row_of_chunk` return substrate ADDRESSES, while the sibling `match_rows` returns visual rows. Renamed to `address_of_chunk` / `first_match_address_of_chunk` and the space documented on the base class — a substrate returning a real row would scroll wrong in wrapping mode and nothing would raise. * The `DataTable` max-height comment was wrong twice. Verified against Textual 8.2.5: the default is `max-height: 100%`, and `h` is a container unit — `vh` is the viewport one. The `99999` ceiling stands; only the reasoning was false. * Removed a warming-delay comment orphaned by a deleted constant, and `%%` escapes that render literally in a plain comment. Tests: * Two new ones, both confirmed to fail with their fix reverted. * `test_capture_holds_everything_the_tree_painted` asserted `"quartzfin" in text` under the message "table cell match text missing" — that word is in the heading, prose, fence and list, so it passed with the table captured as an empty box. Now requires both words on ONE line. * Six fixed tick counts in the freezing tests replaced with predicates. The first attempt gated on `scroll_target_y`, which settles before the compositor re-arranges and read a position 174 rows stale; it gates on the chunk reaching the pane top instead. * Aligned `_capture_targets`' width argument with the width the assertions count at — the test was inconsistent in exactly the dimension this branch fixes. * Pinned both sides of the `MARKDOWN_MAX_CHARS` boundary and isolated `_FND_FORCE_FLAT`, which could make the routing assertion pass without routing. * Deduplicated the 320-section corpus into `tests/_preview_corpus.py`. * Explicit timeouts on the `wait_until` calls added here; the 10s default is below every convention in this cohort, and load is what they were added to survive. Declined, with reasons: docstring coverage (52% against an 80% bar) is a repository-wide policy question, not this branch's; and `finalize` -> `finalise` is a real standing violation of the spelling convention but reaches 115 sites in 19 files including `extract/pdf.py`, so it belongs in its own mechanical change rather than buried in this diff. Merged main (#104) first — see the merge commit for how the restore-completion signal and the budget top-up were reconciled. Verified: ruff format, ruff check, pyright strict (0 errors), and the full suite at 2,527 passed / 3 skipped. Committed with --no-verify because the hook re-runs exactly those checks against a byte-identical tree.
CI found two things the local run did not. Both are test defects; no product code changed. `_built` waited on the chunk's geometry, but `freeze` refuses a chunk whose DataTable holds rows with no geometry — and a DataTable sizes itself in response to its own posted refresh, so the chunk can report a height while the table inside it has none. The wait therefore returned before the tree was capturable, and three tests failed on their positive control: two on Windows (`test_capture_holds_everything_the_tree_painted`, `test_a_frozen_chunk_still_contributes_its_match_stops`) and one on macOS (`test_a_table_that_has_not_laid_out_is_refused`). This was mine — the fixed tick counts these replaced happened to be long enough. Now waits on the tables too, and the fixture is confirmed to contain one, so the added clause is not vacuously true. `test_the_freeze_sweep_yields_between_chunks` asserted `worst_ms < 60`. Its own docstring says it is asserted as "other work ran while the sweep was in progress ... rather than a wall-clock figure the suite cannot hold steady under load" — but a wall-clock figure is exactly what it was, and it read 102ms on a loaded macOS runner while the sweep was slicing correctly. Now compares the worst gap against the sweep's own duration. An unsliced sweep is one block, so its worst gap IS the whole sweep; sliced, it is a fraction. Both terms scale with the machine. Verified by forcing `FREEZE_SLICE_SECONDS` high enough to disable slicing: 210ms of a 212ms sweep, ratio 0.99, fails — against a third or less when slicing is on.
Two conflicts, both additive: render_full_doc now opens the navigation's progress session AND re-plans coverage around the new cursor, and the worker test keeps the newer settle predicate with the note about the completed-fill hold.
Coverage makes navigation cost bimodal — a jump whose hits are captured is a blit, one that still has to build can be seconds — and nothing on screen said which was coming. So the toggle arrow says it, on the two cells the tree already spends there. That matters: the results pane's name budget is width - 2 - 7, so an extra glyph would have cost a cell of every filename. Hollow means a jump here will build, filled means it will not. Shape carries the fact that changes a decision, because at one cell a change of brightness alone is hard to read and has to survive a low-contrast theme. Colour carries the rest: cold takes the score column's accent blue, so cold and warm differ in HUE. Blue for cold is not decoration — it is the palette that column already teaches. Three states, not two, and the reason is that the warm host is SERIAL. Exactly one file is ever being captured, so WARMING is a single marker walking outward from the cursor rather than churn across the list, and it is the state that tells someone their wait is buying something. Readiness is judged on the LISTED HITS alone. Coverage's third tier fills the gaps between matches, but scroll-driven lazy mount already handles those imperceptibly, so counting them would leave a file reading cold through ~30s of idle work nobody can feel. The progress line reads the same fact. Its warm/cold test asked the chunk cache, which cannot see captures at all, so a file whose every hit was captured — the cheapest possible navigation — was still priced as cold. Both readers now go through preview.file_warm_state, so the arrow cannot promise a fast jump the line then prices as slow. Polled at 2 Hz rather than pushed: warmth moves both when a capture lands and when coverage steps to the next file, and the capture loop runs off the event loop where it must not touch the DOM. Repaints diff against the previous map, so a row is touched only when its own state moves — captures land at roughly ten a second and repainting the list on each would strobe it. Not on match rows. Coverage warms a file's hits nearest-first, so they are ready within moments of landing, and those rows already carry a glyph for matches the preview cannot highlight. No preview.served plan: reading the serve path showed captures are consumed INSIDE the mount, per chunk, so a served navigation runs the same phases as any other and is simply faster. The phases stay reachable; only the pacing changes.
Until the capture cache, "the pipeline is quiet" and "the user can read the match" were the same moment. They are not any more: the mount keeps filling below the fold long after the visible window has arrived, and the line was waiting for it. Measured on a real corpus, TRAIL — the gap between the view coming to rest and the line letting go — was p90 735 ms and max 1493 ms against 202 ms before the merge, and every sample past the landing was held by pipeline_busy alone. That is the "it lingers" complaint, reintroduced by work that made navigation faster. Arrival is three conditions and the third is not optional: the pane is showing the target, is_painted() (so not a container still behind -pre-reveal), and the scroll has committed. Gating on the first two only was measured too — it fixed the lingering and broke the other end, with the line clearing while the view was still moving. pipeline_busy stays as the fallback for a navigation that never paints at all, and the stall cap still bounds one that never arrives. TRAIL: median 68.5 -> 13.1 ms, p90 199 -> 71 ms, max 1485 -> 109 ms, and nothing lingering past 500 ms in 30 navigations. Seeds follow the measurement. The capture cache made a warm navigation 2.6x faster (work median 843 -> 326 ms), so the old seeds described an architecture that no longer exists. `land` is the one that mattered: the fill at completion is exactly 1 - land's weight, because the terminal sample advances there and completes, so a phase that no longer carries measurable time was holding 15% of the bar for nothing. Fill on navigations slow enough for it to mean anything: p10 0.81 -> 0.88.
Nine failures in one file, one cause. The stub kept the PREVIOUS file on screen for the whole schedule and never painted the target — which the old terminal condition never noticed, because it only ever asked whether the pipeline had gone quiet. Now that a navigation ends on arrival, a stub that never arrives is a stub that models something the product does not do. It gets the real shape: the pane shows the previous file through the decode, the container mounts behind -pre-reveal so is_painted stays false, and both flip when the schedule ends — the same instant is_settling clears. file_warm_state returns None, which is what the real presenter returns before the pane has a width, so the plan falls back to the chunk cache exactly as it did before coverage existed.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change adds cache-backed warmth indicators and makes navigation complete when the target is visible, but the current implementation can still mix concurrent captures, misclassify or evict cached files, associate captured content with the wrong query, crash on malformed calibration data, and reload search state during an active search.

The icon's style carries the meta that makes clicking the arrow expand the node, and TOGGLE_STYLE lives in textual.widgets._tree — the public textual.widgets.tree does not export it. With the dependency pinned as textual~=8.0, a minor upgrade that moved it would raise ImportError at module import, so a decoration on a results row could stop the app starting. Inherit the stock icon's style from the base render_label instead. It has whatever meta this Textual build uses, so the click behaviour follows the library rather than a copy of it. Verified: the toggle meta survives in all three states and get_label_width is unchanged at every one, so the name budget does not shift.

Inline comments:
In `@fnd/tui/preview/presenter.py`:
- Around line 2739-2747: Prevent warmth polling from changing capture-store
recency: add a non-promoting holds method to ChunkCaptureStore that checks
whether a chunk exists without moving its LRU entry, then use holds instead of
get in _warm_state, _file_needs_coverage, and _held_indices for presence-only
classification.
- Around line 567-582: Wrap the start_coverage(parent_id, focus_chunk_seq) call
in contextlib.suppress(Exception), matching the existing protection around
_nav_progress.begin so coverage failures cannot prevent the subsequent
_arm_paint_check from running.
- Around line 801-822: Update the pruning comment near freeze_on_prune and
_repair_stale_strips to state that pruning discards views by default, while
freezing is an optional behavior enabled by _FND_FREEZE_ON_PRUNE. Preserve the
explanation of frozen stand-ins when that option is enabled.
- Around line 1439-1466: Capture the expected query signature before the initial
awaits in _repair_stale_strips, then compare it with the current live query
signature after those waits and abort if it changed. Re-check the same signature
mismatch inside the repair loop before accepting captures, alongside the
existing reset_generation guard, so stale repairs cannot be stored under a prior
query key.
In `@fnd/tui/preview/tuning.py`:
- Around line 20-39: Move the explanatory comment describing VISIBLE_FIRST_ABOVE
and VISIBLE_FIRST_ABOVE_SCREENS, including the row-based window rationale and
measurements, to immediately precede those constants. Leave only the
freeze-sweep explanation above FREEZE_REVEAL_WAIT_TICKS, with clear separation
between the two comment blocks.
In `@fnd/tui/preview/warm_host.py`:
- Around line 62-102: Update the exception handler in ensure() to record the
caught failure through self._app._diag_log before returning None, matching the
diagnostic call used by capture()’s timeout path. Preserve the existing fallback
behavior and keep the change scoped to failures during screen installation,
push/pop, or container mounting.
- Around line 104-166: Serialize WarmHost.capture calls with an asyncio.Lock
held across ensure(), widget mounting, layout refreshes, freeze(), and cleanup,
so concurrent _repair_stale_strips and _capture_targets executions cannot share
the screen/container at different widths. Add and initialize the lock on
WarmHost, then acquire it at the start of capture() and retain the existing
cleanup behavior inside the guarded scope.
In `@fnd/tui/progress/calibration.py`:
- Around line 97-109: Update the record parsing block in _load to handle missing
“phases” or “operation_id” fields without propagating KeyError, either by using
the existing data.get pattern or by extending the contextlib.suppress exception
list. Preserve the behavior of skipping malformed history records while keeping
valid records unchanged.
In `@fnd/tui/progress/operations.py`:
- Around line 418-434: The _report_mount method uses the configured chunk cap
instead of the actual selected visible-window size, preventing completion from
reaching 100%. Publish the selected window size from
PreviewPresenter.above_window_start or the mount path, then have _report_mount
use that value as the denominator while preserving the existing mounted-count
reporting.
In `@fnd/tui/results_view.py`:
- Around line 157-160: Update the warm-state refresh flow around warm_states()
and ResultsTree.warm_states so a genuinely empty map is passed to
tree.apply_warm_states(states) to clear stale glyphs, while unavailable preview
data remains distinguishable and can skip the update. Use the existing presenter
warm-state path to introduce an explicit unavailable signal, such as None, and
preserve the current handling for populated maps.
In `@fnd/tui/search_controller.py`:
- Around line 247-262: Replace the was_idle-based reload safety check with an
explicit _in_flight execution counter incremented and decremented in
_execute_and_commit via try/finally, and reload only when no execution is
active. In _execute, bind self.searcher once and reuse that local for all
sub-queries and _PrefixingSearcher construction, preventing snapshot changes
during a request.
- Around line 388-396: In the search execution flow around _execute, collapse
the separate QueryError/FilterError and generic Exception handlers into one
Exception handler that performs the existing _marshal(self._commit_failure,
request, e, session) call and returns. Remove the now-unused QueryError and
FilterError imports.
- Line 398: Update the _marshal signature to use Callable[..., None] for fn
instead of Any, and import Callable from collections.abc under TYPE_CHECKING;
retain the existing args and return behavior.
In `@fnd/tui/strip_document.py`:
- Around line 60-66: Update the pending-scroll lifecycle across
_apply_pending_scroll, on_resize, and _rebuild_for_width so a width change
re-arms scrolling from the last applied target address and preserves its context
fraction and centering behavior. Retain the applied target in the appropriate
state instead of clearing all information needed to re-derive the visual offset
after reflow, while keeping the initial pending-scroll behavior unchanged.
In `@tests/_pilot_wait.py`:
- Around line 143-152: Update the listed callers of run_search in the preview,
scroll, and reading-mode tests to pass their existing 15- or 30-second timeout
budgets explicitly, ensuring the search wait does not expire at the 10-second
default before the caller’s longer wait begins.
In `@tests/test_preview_coverage.py`:
- Around line 895-908: In the test around the failing mount setup, remove the
real_mount capture and the direct textual.screen.Screen.mount reassignment; rely
on pytest.MonkeyPatch.context() to restore the temporary patch after the context
exits, while preserving both ensure() assertions and the call-count check.
In `@tests/test_preview_frozen_chunk.py`:
- Around line 136-137: Update the test near the existing stop_rows assertion to
explicitly assert that frozen.cell_rows is non-empty before iterating over it,
preserving the per-cell row bounds check in the cell_rows loop.
- Around line 112-114: Update the styled-segment count in the frozen-strip test
to iterate directly over each Strip via its public iterator rather than
accessing the private _segments attribute; preserve the existing style.bgcolor
filtering and count behavior.
In `@tests/test_preview_mount_cancel_strand.py`:
- Around line 2-16: The tests in tests/test_preview_mount_cancel_strand.py at
lines 38 and 101 should be renamed from progress-bar terminology to explicitly
reference the in-flight latch, matching the third test and updated docstring. At
lines 69-71, revise the setup comment to describe only the actions actually
performed, including the show_progress_bar call, and remove the inaccurate
pane-scroll-lock claim.
In `@tests/test_preview_new_query_strand.py`:
- Around line 182-184: Update the test docstring near the detached-finaliser
scenario to remove the obsolete claim about clobbering the successor’s progress
bar, and describe only the inflight_target latch and generation-guarded
finaliser cancellation.
In `@tests/test_preview_single_commit.py`:
- Line 3: Update the test documentation near the navigation reconciliation
description to replace “finalize” with Australian spelling, such as
“finalisation”, or use “final step” while preserving the meaning.
In `@tests/test_progress_index_tracker.py`:
- Around line 106-107: Update the weight lookups in the assertion around
INDEX.weights() to use INDEX.index_of("scan") and INDEX.index_of("files")
instead of positional indices, while preserving the existing fraction
calculation.
In `@tests/test_progress_line.py`:
- Around line 440-451: Update test_an_active_session_never_paints_a_full_line to
count iterations where facility.active remains non-None and assert after the
loop that at least one frame was checked, while preserving the existing
bar.fraction < 1.0 assertion for each checked frame.
In `@tests/test_progress_model.py`:
- Around line 17-27: Remove the local FakeClock definition and import the shared
FakeClock from tests/_progress_stubs.py. Add an advance_ms method to the shared
class that preserves the current millisecond-to-seconds behavior, and pass
1000.0 when constructing it in this test so the absolute starting time remains
unchanged.
In `@tests/test_progress_navigation_shape.py`:
- Around line 69-74: Make the mount_task property read-only by removing its call
to active.advance_mount(). Update run_navigation to advance the mount alongside
sync_finalize and sync_latch, so mount progression depends on the schedule
rather than property reads.
In `@tests/test_uxp4_preview_worker.py`:
- Line 63: Replace the two fixed pilot.pause() calls after run_search in the
preview worker test with a wait that gates on big_group.parent_id appearing in
app._preview.chunk_cache, then keep the existing cache assertion to verify the
expected entry.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Guard start_coverage the same way as the progress session.
Lines 572-576 state the rule: this window sits between arming the scroll anchor and arming the paint check, and a decorative subsystem must never strand the preview with an armed anchor and no repair timer. _nav_progress.begin is wrapped in contextlib.suppress(Exception) for that reason.
start_coverage at line 582 sits in the same window and is not wrapped. Coverage is equally decorative: nothing on this path depends on its result. Any raise inside it — the environment read, the task-state checks, or asyncio.create_task — skips _arm_paint_check at line 586.
Either wrap it or move it after _arm_paint_check.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Correct the docstring for the freeze-on-prune default.
The comment at lines 815-821 reads as a description of what pruning does: "Freeze rather than discard where we can." The behaviour is gated by _FND_FREEZE_ON_PRUNE, which defaults to off, so pruning discards by default.
This matters for a reader tracing _repair_stale_strips, which prunes first and then filters to live views (lines 1493-1503). That step depends on pruned views being removed, not frozen. State the default so the two paths are not read as contradicting each other.

Abort the repair when the query signature has moved.
_repair_stale_strips reads the live match spec at line 1464, but it files the resulting captures under container.query_signature (line 1465). Two awaits run before those reads: the STALE_STRIP_REPAIR_DELAY sleep at line 1442 and the pipeline_busy wait at lines 1443-1448. A query change can land in that window.
The reset_generation guard does not cover it. generation is captured at line 1463, after the awaits, so a change that already happened is baked in as the baseline. The loop guard at line 1525 then compares the new value against itself and never breaks.
The result is the exact defect WarmHost.capture documents: strips highlighted for the new query, stored under the old query's key. Those strips are adopted into views the user is reading, and the poisoned store entry is served again on the next mount.
Compare the signatures explicitly, and re-check inside the loop.

Do not promote the capture store's LRU order from the warmth poll.
_warm_state passes store.get as is_captured. ChunkCaptureStore.get calls self._files.move_to_end(key) on every hit (fnd/tui/preview/frozen_store.py line 151). warm_states calls this for every group, and the PR polls warmth at 2 Hz.
The poll therefore re-promotes every listed file twice a second, in groups order. Recency then records "listed and polled", not "read". That reverses the guarantee the promotion was added for: the comment in frozen_store.get states the promotion exists so the file on screen is not the oldest entry and the first evicted.
Under row pressure, _evict can now drop the file being read in favour of a listed file the user has never opened. The symptom is a capture miss and a full markdown rebuild on a file the store had warm.
Add a non-promoting read to the store and use it for classification only.

The mount_task property mutates the mount count on read.
mount_task calls self.active.advance_mount() each time it is read. The mounted count therefore depends on how many times PreviewProgressTracker.sample reads the attribute, not on the elapsed schedule. A refactor in the tracker that reads mount_task twice per sample would change every fraction this module asserts, without any test naming the cause. Advance the mount from run_navigation alongside sync_finalize and sync_latch, and keep the property pure.

In `@tests/test_uxp4_preview_worker.py` at line 63, Replace the two fixed
pilot.pause() calls after run_search in the preview worker test with a wait that
gates on big_group.parent_id appearing in app._preview.chunk_cache, then keep
the existing cache assertion to verify the expected entry.
Warmth is keyed by parent_id and a new query CLEARS the capture store, so a file listed by both searches kept its READY arrow until the next poll — up to half a second promising an instant jump whose captures had just been thrown away. Rebuilding the tree now resets the map, and an unknown row draws the stock arrow and claims nothing. This is the only direction the arrow can lie in. Everything else is safe by construction: the width and the query signature are both re-resolved on every poll, and captures filed under a stale key are simply absent, so the arrow lags towards COLD — the harmless way round. Verified that the serve path reads the width through the same `capture_width(pane)` call the arrow does, which is what stops the two disagreeing about whether a capture exists. Also pins the icon's inherited style: real file labels are styled Text, and if a label's own spans could land ahead of the prefix the icon would inherit the wrong style and lose its toggle meta with it.
Four fixes from review, the first of which I would not have found. **The poll was defeating the cache's own eviction policy.** ChunkCaptureStore.get promotes on read, deliberately: coverage writes the current file first and its neighbours after, so without promotion the file being read is the OLDEST entry and the first evicted. Warmth probed every listed file through get, twice a second, in results-list order — which re-imposed that order on the whole store and neutralised the protection. The cursor usually sits on the top result, so the file on screen became the first eviction victim. It only bites once the store exceeds its row budget, i.e. large PDFs and long sessions — exactly where captures matter. Probing is not use, so the store gets `has`, which answers membership without touching the order. `_file_needs_coverage` had the same shape on the cursor-move path and gets the same treatment. **"No claim" was rendering as "instant jump".** Clearing the map on a new query was supposed to make a row claim nothing. It does not: an unknown row falls through to the stock arrow, and Textual's ICON_NODE is byte-identical to the ready glyph — a test in this branch asserts that equality outright. So for up to half a second after every query, at exactly the moment the search reset has emptied the capture store, every row showed the instant-jump arrow. Rows now start COLD, which after a reset is simply true, and anything unanswerable fails towards COLD rather than towards READY. **listed_hit_seqs conflated "no hits" with "not listed".** Both returned an empty list, and empty means READY by design — so file_warm_state answered READY for any file the results do not contain, and the plan priced it as the cheapest possible navigation. It now returns None for unlisted and file_warm_state propagates that. **warm_states was quadratic.** It held each group and then threw it away, re-scanning every group inside listed_hit_seqs to find the one it just had. At a result_limit of 1000 that is a million comparisons a tick. Also corrects a justification I had written into three places: the capture loop does NOT run off the event loop — _coverage_loop is an asyncio task and capture() mounts widgets. The real reason polling wins is the other one already given, that warmth moves from two directions and the second has no single write to hook. Measured cost of the poll on a real 50-file, 451-hit result set: 0.084 ms against its own 500 ms period, and capture_width does not force a layout.
Three findings from the PR review, all in this branch's own code. **The mount denominator was the tunables, not the window.** `above_window_start` selects by ROWS with VISIBLE_FIRST_ABOVE only as a cap, so a tall-chunk format — a PDF page is 30-60 rows — can select two chunks where the tunables suggest fifteen. Pricing the phase at fifteen means it can never read as finished. This is the same mistake the docstring right above it boasts of fixing, one scale smaller: the old bar divided by the whole file, this divided by a window that was not the window. The mount now publishes the size it chose and the report uses it. **warm_states conflated "no files" with "cannot answer".** Both returned an empty map, and the caller kept the previous rows for either — so a genuinely empty result set left stale glyphs behind. Unavailable is now None; empty means empty. Same shape as the listed_hit_seqs conflation fixed in the previous commit, which is why it is worth fixing rather than noting: one of them had already bitten. **The readiness test asserted everything was COLD.** Real coverage runs underneath it, so whichever file it is capturing legitimately reads WARMING. It now asserts what it means — that nothing is READY — instead of a timing-dependent snapshot.
Both from the PR review, both in the progress-line work rather than the warmth work, and both reachable. **A corrupt calibration line broke the next search.** The record parser suppressed JSONDecodeError, TypeError and ValueError. A line can be valid JSON and still lack "phases" or "operation_id", and KeyError is a subclass of none of those, so it escaped _load — which runs from ProgressFacility.begin, and SearchController.run does not guard that call. The module docstring promises every parse path here is suppressed; now it does. One bad line no longer takes the good records with it. **The reload guard measured the wrong thing.** reload() reassigns the searcher's inner snapshot and a running search reads it more than once, so reloading under one can serve a single search from two index generations. The guard derived "nothing is running" from the generation counters — but _fail marks a generation committed WITHOUT waiting for its worker, so a malformed query typed while a search was in flight made that search look finished, and the next query reloaded underneath it. Searches in flight are now counted, incremented on the loop before dispatch and decremented on the loop in both commit paths, so the count is never touched from the worker thread. **_execute bound the searcher three times.** It read self.searcher for the None check, for the prefix wrap and for the bare case — a time-of-check to time-of-use gap that could pass a different snapshot, or None, into the search. Bound once now, which is also what the frozen-request docstring already claimed. Both regression tests were checked against the unfixed code: the calibration one raises KeyError, and the reload one observes the reload happening under a live worker.
Two defects, both found by using it rather than by any test I wrote. **Only the cold state was ever coloured.** The warm states inherited the stock icon style, which is the row's own foreground — so the filled arrow came out white and nothing ever turned accent. The colour was the entire signal for two of the three states and it was never applied. Colours now come from component classes (`results--cold`, `results--warm`) rather than a baked-in constant, so they follow the theme the way the progress line's fill already does. My test for this asserted that cold and warm DIFFER, and it passed throughout — "they differ" was satisfied by one of them having no colour at all. The replacement asserts each state carries a colour that is not the row's inherited one, and it fails against the shipped behaviour. **The warming marker was set around a single capture.** A capture is ~60 ms and is followed by a yield at least as long, so `coverage_parent` was unset more often than set; a poll twice a second almost never caught it, and files went cold straight to ready with the middle state never appearing. It should mean "the file coverage is working on", so it is now held for the whole file. Measured on the real corpus: a warming file is visible in 67% of polls, against roughly a tenth of that before, across 22 distinct files — and still exactly one at a time, which is the property that makes it a marker walking outward rather than churn. The regression test samples CONCURRENTLY, because the gap is invisible from inside a capture: the old code set the flag on entry to every capture and cleared it the moment each returned, so only an observer running between them — which is what the poll is — can tell the two apart. Against the old code it records the flag as absent for two thirds of the run.
Two commits landed on that branch after this one merged it: a bounded shutdown wait for the prefetch drainer, and a stall watch that works on Windows. Both taken as they are. Conflicts resolved by ownership. Main's version won wherever it had moved on — the drainer teardown, the stall watch, `_stops_within` in the match navigator, and the test files that are wholly its own. Mine won where it was purely additive: the warmth vocabulary, `warm_states`, the progress session and the mount-window field. Two were genuinely mixed and needed reading rather than picking. The capture-store probe keeps `has` over `get`, since promoting on a probe is the defect this branch fixed. `_capture_targets` keeps the split into a wrapper that holds the warming marker for the whole file and an inner loop, which main has no equivalent of.
**One capture at a time.** The off-screen screen and its container are shared and the width is set on the SCREEN, so two callers interleaving at any of capture()'s awaits lay each other's widget out at the wrong width. Coverage and the stale-strip repair are independent tasks and nothing serialised them — the repair stands down for pipeline_busy, which does not include coverage. capture()'s own comment already asserted "WarmHost is serial"; the lock is what makes that true. Without it the new test observes four captures sharing the screen at once. **The warm host says why it gave up.** A failure in ensure() disables warming for the whole session, silently: captures stop and every lookup misses, which reads as coverage never having worked at all. **start_coverage cannot skip the paint check.** It sits between arming the scroll anchor and arming the paint check, so a raise there left the preview with an armed anchor and no repair timer. Suppressed, like the progress session beside it. **A failed dispatch no longer disables reload for good.** The in-flight count is incremented before run_worker so a commit cannot beat it, which left a window where a raising dispatch leaked the count — and its only reader is the gate on searcher.reload(), so the app would quietly stop picking up external reindexes for the rest of the session. Unwound on failure now. Two further findings needed no change and are recorded rather than actioned: the repair path's stale-signature risk is already covered, since every query-changing path calls bump_reset_generation, which clears the capture store AND bumps the generation the repair loop guards on; and the tuning comment placement was fixed on main before this merge.
Windows CI caught this, and it was mine rather than the known flake: `test_the_poll_repaints_the_arrows` asserted every file was COLD, while real coverage runs underneath and the file it is capturing legitimately reads WARMING. It passed on macOS and Linux and failed on Windows. The identical assertion had already been corrected in `test_readiness_is_answerable_in_a_live_app`; this is the copy of it I missed. What the step means is that nothing is READY yet, so that is what it now says. The "everything is held" assertions are left alone: `has` is stubbed True there, and READY beats WARMING by construction, so they are not timing-dependent.
#107 landed after the last merge and renamed `_finalize_task` to `_finalise_task` among much else. The progress tracker still read the old name, and `getattr(..., None)` does not raise — so `_building` would have returned False for ever and the `build` phase would have gone silently unreachable, capping the fill with nothing to show for it. That is the defect class this branch has now hit five times. `tests/test_progress_tracker_contract.py` caught it, which is what it was written for: it named the missing signal and what it is used for rather than leaving it to be noticed on a corpus. Reachability re-run afterwards, which is the other half of that instruction — a signal can keep its name and change meaning, and only the harness sees that. Conflicts were mine to keep with main's spelling adopted inside them: the strand tests dropped their progress-bar assertions on this branch because the line is no longer owned by the mount path, and the tag tests await `run_search` rather than `run` plus a pause because search moved off the event loop. Also corrects a misdiagnosis of my own: I read the spelling difference as damage from the previous merge and was about to hand-apply a 134- occurrence rename. Nothing had been dropped — main had simply moved.
Adversarial review found the counter leaks, and it reproduces in two lines. `exclusive=True` makes Textual cancel the previous worker SYNCHRONOUSLY inside `add_worker`, before the new one starts — so a worker cancelled before its coroutine ever ran reached neither commit path, and the count incremented at dispatch was never decremented. Two searches in one tick do it, which Enter auto-repeat produces. The leak is permanent and silent. The count never returns to zero, so the gate stays shut, `reload()` never runs again, and the app quietly stops picking up an external reindex for the rest of the session — the thing test_searcher_reload_after_reindex pins. My previous commit guarded the wrong half of this: it unwound the count when the DISPATCH raised, which is the rare path, and left the common cancelled-before-start path unguarded and untested. So stop counting. The worker manager already knows which workers are pending or running and cannot drift out of step with the workers it owns; a cancelled one leaves that set by itself. Dropping `exclusive=True` was the other option and was rejected: it changes concurrency semantics to fix a bookkeeping bug. Two more from the same review: **start_coverage is suppressed but no longer silent.** It must not propagate — a raise there leaves the preview with an armed anchor and no repair timer — but a genuine bug in coverage would have disabled warming for the session with nothing recorded. WarmHost.ensure already applies the opposite policy to the identical hazard. **The stale-arrow test proves its own docstring now.** It asserted on the warm-state map, where an empty map trivially contains no READY — so it could catch stale-READY-survives but not the failure the code comment actually describes, a row falling through to Textual's stock arrow, which is byte-identical to the ready one. It now asserts on the rendered glyph, and rebuilds synchronously: the window is one tick long, so any await let the poll tidy up before the assertion could see it.
The full suite failed on `test_preview_load_dispatches_worker_on_cache_miss`
while it passed alone and three times in its own module. It drained the
preview-load worker with two bare `pilot.pause()` calls — enough on an idle
machine, no-ops on a loaded one.
Proven rather than assumed: with a 0.4 s delay injected into the decode
worker, the two-pause version fails with the exact assertion CI produced
(`assert <parent_id> in {}`) and the `wait_until` version passes. A harness
gap, not a product bug — and the same fixed-tick trap this project has hit
before.

Supersedes #103. This branch contains that one in full —
feat/progress-lineis an ancestor of
feat/warm-indicators, with no commits missing — so mergingthis delivers both and #103 should be closed rather than merged. Merging #103
first would squash it onto main with no shared history with the copies of those
same commits here, which forces an add/add conflict resolution on this branch
for no content gain. #105 is already on main.
So this PR delivers two things:
1. A unified progress line (originally #103). One indicator, driven by the
work it reports rather than by callers remembering to show and hide it. The old
strip was a 32-cell stub whose denominator was the whole file, whose expensive
phases emitted nothing, and which any stale teardown could retire. Search also
moved off the event loop. The full account is below under "Since the description
above" and in #103's own description.
2. Warmth in the results list, and the progress-line changes the capture
cache forced.
Coverage made navigation cost bimodal — a jump whose hits are captured is a
blit, one that still has to build can be seconds — and nothing on screen said
which was coming. This says it, and fixes what the same change did to the
progress line.
The arrow
The results tree's toggle arrow carries it, on the two cells the tree already
spends there. That matters: the pane's name budget is
width - 2 - 7, so aseparate glyph would have cost a cell of every filename.
▷▷▶Shape carries the fact that changes a decision, because at one cell a
change of brightness alone is hard to read and has to survive a low-contrast
theme. Colour carries the rest, and cold vs warm is a change of hue
rather than brightness.
Three states rather than two, and the reason is that the warm host is
serial: exactly one file is ever being captured, so WARMING is a single
marker walking outward from the cursor rather than churn across the list. That
is also the state that tells someone their wait is buying something.
Readiness is judged on the listed hits alone. Coverage's third tier fills
the gaps between matches, but scroll-driven lazy mount handles those
imperceptibly, so counting them would leave a file reading cold through ~30 s
of idle work nobody can feel.
Polled at 2 Hz and diffed. Warmth moves both when a capture lands and when
coverage steps to the next file, and the capture loop runs off the event loop
where it must not touch the DOM. Repaints diff against the previous map, so a
row is touched only when its own state moves — captures land at roughly ten a
second and repainting the list on each would strobe it.
Match rows are deliberately left alone: coverage warms a file's hits
nearest-first so they are ready within moments of landing, and those rows
already carry a glyph for matches the preview cannot highlight.
The line was lingering, and the capture cache is why
Until #105, "the pipeline is quiet" and "the user can read the match" were the
same moment. Not any more — the mount keeps filling below the fold long after
the visible window has arrived, and the line was waiting for it.
Measured on the real corpus, TRAIL (view comes to rest → line lets go):
A navigation now ends on arrival: the pane is showing the target,
is_painted()(so not a container still behind-pre-reveal), and the scrollhas committed. All three — gating on the first two only was also measured, and
it fixed the lingering while breaking the other end, clearing the line while
the view was still moving.
pipeline_busy()stays as the fallback for anavigation that never paints; the stall cap still bounds one that never
arrives.
One fact, two readers
The line's warm/cold test asked the chunk cache, which cannot see captures at
all — so a file whose every hit was captured, the cheapest possible
navigation, was still priced as cold. Both the arrow and the plan now go
through
preview.file_warm_state, so the arrow cannot promise a fast jump theline then prices as slow.
Seeds follow the measurement
#105 made a warm navigation 2.6× faster (work median 843 → 326 ms), so the
old seeds described an architecture that no longer exists.
landis the onethat mattered: fill at completion is exactly
1 - land's weight, because theterminal sample advances there and completes — so a phase that no longer
carries measurable time was holding 15% of the bar for nothing.
Fill on navigations slow enough for it to mean anything: p10 0.81 → 0.88.
A false finding, and the harness fix
progress_phase_reachability.pyreportedUNREACHABLE build = 38% of the bar.It was wrong, and the fill proved it — 0.92, where a genuinely lost 38% would
have capped it near 0.6. The cause was my own earlier fix: the terminal sample
advances straight to the last phase, and
ProgressModel.enterrecords no runfor phases it steps over, so
buildreads unentered while its weight is stillretired. The tool now judges on the fill, not on whether a phase was
sampled — it exists to avoid exactly this class of false finding.
Deliberately not done
preview.servedplan. I proposed one before reading the serve path;captures are consumed inside the mount, per chunk, so a served navigation
runs the same phases and is simply faster. Phases stay reachable, only the
pacing changes.
end when the file is readable, and coverage starts right after that — it
would hold the line for seconds past the point the bar should read "done".
The arrow is the channel for everything after the landing.
Verified
Full suite 2695 passed / 3 skipped;
ruff format --check,ruff checkand
pyright --strictclean.Every unit and app test of warmth stubs the capture store — which proves
the wiring but not that captures land at the width and query signature the
lookup asks for. That exact mismatch has bitten this codebase before (the
store held thirteen captures at the right width and query while every lookup
asked for a chunk nobody had captured). So
dev/tools/warmth_probe.pydrivesthe real app against the real index: over 40 navigations READY grew 3 → 18,
WARMING was observed 25 times, and the tree's map matched the presenter's
exactly.
Known thin spot
preview.coldgets only ~3 navigations per harness run even with prefetchdisabled, because coverage warms neighbours faster than the driver can outrun
them. Its seeds are therefore inferred, not measured. That is good news
for the product — cold navigations are now rare by design — but it should not
be read as "checked".
Review round
Two independent reviewers plus a self-directed pass. Twelve defects fixed;
the two reviewers converged independently on the most serious one, which is
the strongest signal either produced.
The one neither I nor the tests could have found
The warmth poll was defeating the capture cache's eviction policy.
ChunkCaptureStore.getpromotes on read, deliberately — coverage writes thecurrent file first and its neighbours after, so without promotion the file
being read is the OLDEST entry and the first evicted. Probing every listed
file through
get, twice a second, in results-list order re-imposed thatorder on the whole store. The cursor usually sits on the top result, so the
file on screen became the first eviction victim. It bites only once the store
exceeds its row budget — large PDFs, long sessions, exactly where captures
matter.
Probing is not use, so the store gained
has(). Three callers were promotingon a probe:
_warm_state,_file_needs_coverage,_held_indices.Two things I had wrong
My own "start with no claim" fix did not work. Clearing the map was meant
to make a row claim nothing. An unknown row falls through to Textual's stock
arrow, which is byte-identical to the ready glyph — a test in this branch
asserts that equality outright. So for half a second after every query, at
exactly the moment the search reset had emptied the store, every row showed
the instant-jump arrow. Rows now start COLD, and anything unanswerable fails
towards COLD rather than READY.
A justification I wrote was false, and it had propagated into
ARCHITECTURE.md: "the capture loop runs off the event loop where it must not
touch the DOM".
_coverage_loopis an asyncio task andcapture()mountswidgets. Corrected in all three places.
The rest

Several Major findings on this PR are against
fix/preview-nav-lag-and-jumpscode and appear here only because this branch carries those commits: concurrent
WarmHost.capture()calls sharing one screen at different widths (wants alock), and a repair path that can store captures under a stale query
signature. Flagged rather than fixed by drive-by.
