Every PR that changes product-user-visible GUI behavior now includes a
demonstration GIF with real provenance (that branch's built tree, real
key, real model rounds). Recording stays side-effect-free; the skill
gains a bounded final publication step: GIFs go on an append-only
orphan assets branch (one per PR series) and embed via the blob URL
with ?raw=true, never on the PR branch itself.
Folds in the operational lessons from the Code Mode UI series:
.playwright-mcp/ screenshot roots (now gitignored), per-PR staging and
precise server teardown, one-call DOM polling for transient states,
exact-text completion predicates, prompt engineering for UI states,
and the export-before-invoke GIF_SKILL_DIR encoder pitfall.
Agent Note: implemented/process/2026-07-26-gui-pr-gif-evidence-and-assets-branch (+ zh pair); the 2026-07-23 recording note now defers publication policy to it.
Validate replay sidecars and cross-copy failure facts, make browser console tripwires and macOS temp paths deterministic, and wait for asynchronous TUI resume details. Keep the owning docs, translations, and generated catalog aligned.
Conflict resolution: scripts/type-equiv.manifest.json takes master's new
paired-derivative format (one primary entry per pair) and re-adds this
stack's CodeDispatchLog entry in that format. zh README pairs brought
along for the dispatch-log arm (spill-policy behavior/limitations bullets,
tools limitation bullet now pointing at the shipped bounding).
Two new keyless scenarios for the functionality master gained since this
lane's base (#644 websettings, #643 workspace browser rework), both zero
model calls:
- settings-chrome: the modal shell (sidebar-foot trigger aria states,
role=dialog, aria-current section switch to the deliberately empty
Models, Escape + close-button paths, dialog aria golden); the Appearance
row as the REAL theme gesture — retiring lifecycle-chrome's
TODO(web-theme-gesture): clicking 深色 runs aria-pressed -> persisted
dsh.theme -> body[data-ds-dark-theme] -> alias-token flip, survives
reload, and 'system' follows the emulated OS scheme both ways; the
Language row switches the settings-scoped copy to English (dsh.locale
persisted, survives reload) and restores zh. Intentional reloads tear
the SSE stream, so the spec drains exactly its own reconnect warnings —
the tripwire still fails on unexpected connection loss.
- workspace-management: create-by-name twice through the region-header
dialog (host-durable via ctx.workspace.list()); rename end to end —
hover-revealed row menu (the button is display:none until the row
hovers), duplicate-name pre-check (inline role=alert + disabled primary
before any wire call), then workspace.rename through the real RPC,
row update, host durability, reload survival; the flat 'In one list'
view (section label flips, group headers drop, dsh.workspace.view
persists across reload, grouped restored); the session hover card
(dwell to open, closes on pointer leave). The one session row reuses
seeded-history's committed seed — no new recording. Deliberately not
driven: the inert menu rows and drag reorder (deferred in the note
with re-entry triggers).
Agent Note gains scenarios 8-9 and the drag-reorder deferred item in both
languages; llm-replay README's zh side catches up with the { patches }
paragraph; pairings re-recorded.
Responding to ds-review-bot round 2 on #662:
- LANG_ALIASES is a Map: an assistant-authored fence label like
constructor or __proto__ now misses (plain render) instead of resolving
an inherited object property and crashing shiki mid-conversation. Test
sweeps the inherited-key labels.
- The singleton is pre-warmed in a deferred task at plugin boot (the
~120-175ms engine+grammar construction long task moves off the first
finalized fence's render); the lazy path remains the correctness
fallback, and unref keeps non-browser imports from pinning the loop.
Agent Note updated (both languages).
Responding to ds-review-bot round 2 on #661:
- logWork is bounded: past maxParallelSubCalls pending shaped-append tasks
the ordered commit lane holds (Promise.race drains one), so a slow spill
backend backpressures the run instead of accumulating unbounded pending
I/O and retained results. Tasks self-remove on settlement; run
settlement still drains every task inside the open turn. New spill test
drives three oversized reads against a hung backend at cap 1 and proves
the third dispatch cannot start until a save drains.
- shapeDispatchLog's catch uses errorMessage() (total), so a thrown value
with a throwing toString cannot escape the containment and lose the
settle event.
- CodeDispatchLog.content documented as the RENDERED result projection
(native tool/result vocabulary), not what the program received — the
program gets the structured value; doc pair + type-equiv re-synced.
- New RECORDED tui-agent snapshot scenario code-mode-dispatch-spill: the
real Loader-visible composition (worker runtime + spill-local + policy)
drives an oversized bash sub-call end-to-end; replay proves the durable
dispatch copy is bounded to preview + locator while the program value
stays whole (the outer result carries just the line count).
Agent Note updated (both languages).
Conflict resolution: drainDispatches composes both sides — the reworked
single-lane driver's drive() (ordered stages, mid-flight commit drain)
followed by this branch's logWork drain, so every shaped settle append
still lands inside the open run_code turn.
Responding to ds-review-bot round 2 on #658 (three critical findings, one
warning — all rooted in the pump/commit split racing ordered stages):
- ONE driver lane now owns every ordered stage: the start append, prepare
(pre-execute/guards), and the head-of-line commit (post-execute, context
deferral, settle append). start() is awaited before the next entry can
start, so concurrent submissions can no longer run pre-execute pipelines
concurrently; only the around-dispatch/body stage overlaps, matching the
native loop's fillPool sequencing.
- An exclusive call's barrier now holds through its COMMIT: later starts
wait for the exclusive pipeline (post-execute included) to finish, the
native exclusive-group semantics.
- drainDispatches() awaits the driver run itself, so a commit already
mid-flight when the program returns is drained before run_code closes
the turn — the settle event and deferred contexts land inside it.
- maxParallelSubCalls is resolved and validated at construction (positive
integer), so direct construction can no longer wedge the pool with 0.
New tests: overlapping-submission ordered-prepare, barrier-through-commit,
drain-mid-commit, cap rejection. 96 keyless snapshots replay unchanged;
Agent Note updated (both languages).
Responding to ds-review-bot on #664:
- SubSpanLane gains a 'timing' discriminant (measured | running | unknown).
A settle-only replay entry (callTime null, start outside the window) was
previously indistinguishable from a measured 0 ms span; it now renders
hollow with a 'duration unknown' hover title, and durationMs stays null
for anything unmeasured. Pairs with the client-runtime fix that stopped
fabricating callTime = settle time (826c3696a on the live-parallel PR).
- The built-client Code Mode fixture snapshot now switches to the
Trajectory and Waterfall tabs and pins the assembled rendering: three
Sub cells with real +0.8s durations and three measured lanes with their
hover titles — product-visible coverage through the real bundle graph,
not just package-level jsdom fixtures.
Agent Note (both languages) updated for the timing contract; pairing
re-recorded.
ui-sidebar shell landed on master (#643: geometry-only shell, the
browsing region moved to the sidebar.workspaces slot); this branch's
sidebar.settings foot seat re-applies on top — the hardcoded foot row
becomes the seat, the seat rides the railIn crossfade, and the shell
spec's renderSlot stub key-splits region vs settings.
