Carve the panel into a ~60-col writing column and a right-hand side
panel (per CONTEXT.md screen regions); the divider sits right of the
x=396 driver seam. The mode indicator and pending-command echo move
into the panel, while the ':' command line stays in the bottom strip.
The panel also shows word count and words-this-session (a snapshot
refreshed on a typing pause / non-Insert action, never per keystroke,
so ordinary typing keeps the fast windowed refresh) and a "NO KBD"
flag while the keyboard is dropped.
Add a persistent KBD_PRESENT atomic (set on setup, cleared on unplug)
and a keyboard_present() accessor. DEV_GONE is a one-shot detach event
the client loop consumes, not a state the panel can read.
v0.6 affordances plus the v0.4 command-line mechanism, all in editor.rs:
- soft-wrap display lines at word boundaries (layout() no longer cuts
mid-word; a single word wider than the panel still hard-breaks)
- Enter continues Markdown lists: -/*/+ repeat, N. increments, an empty
item exits the list; only at end-of-line, indentation preserved
- heading lines (# .. ######) render faux-bold via a 1px double-strike
(no bold Latin-9 font); checks the logical line so wrapped headings stay bold
- new `:` command mode (Command variant + status-strip echo, Esc/Backspace
cancel) with one command, `:fmt`: align pipe tables (honoring :--: colons),
collapse runs of blank lines to one, strip trailing whitespace; caret lands
on roughly the same line afterwards
std::fs::remove_dir_all deletes race-free via the openat/unlinkat/fdopendir
family; esp-idf's path-based FATFS VFS doesn't implement those, so it fails
with EACCES on the first entry. That looked like a read-only-attribute
problem but wasn't. A plain read_dir -> remove_file/remove_dir walk
(remove_tree) uses only what FATFS supports.
Hardware-verified: a diagnostic recursive delete removed the whole
/spiflash/repo (every entry reported writable, ro=false) then re-cloned +
pushed, twice. Wire remove_tree into both the RECLONE_EACH_BOOT reset and
the stale-clone recovery.
The p_open/p_creat shim (39e1155) stays: it keeps libgit2's objects writable
(ro=false), so neither this delete nor libgit2's own gc/repack/fetch-prune
is ever blocked by a read-only file on FAT.
Debug/recovery knob (ships false): when true, wipe /spiflash/repo and re-clone
every boot instead of opening the persistent clone. Doubles as the validation
harness for the FAT read-only-delete fix — the wipe deletes libgit2-created
objects, which only succeeds once they are writable.
859c478 aborted if /spiflash/repo already existed — libgit2 refuses to
clone into a non-empty dir (code=Exists). Remove a writable stale/partial
clone and re-clone.
Milestone #2A now hardware-verified end to end: clone (boot 1) + persistent
open + fast-forward push (boot 2) against origin/main, on the 96 KB git
thread, min heap 6.8 MB — clone/checkout fit the stack, no bump needed.
Known limit: the remove only works on a *writable* leftover. libgit2 marks
objects/packs read-only and FATFS won't f_unlink a read-only file (EACCES);
POSIX chmod does not clear AM_RDO on esp-idf's FATFS VFS (verified). So
re-cloning over a run that wrote objects needs an AM_RDO-clearing unlink
shim in esp_stubs.c (increment B, also needed for fetch/repack); until then
the fallback is a one-time `espflash erase-region 0x310000 0x400000`.
Milestone #2 increment A: the product's real publish flow, distinct from
git_push's fresh-init-per-boot throwaway branch. open-or-clone a persistent
/spiflash/repo, append to a tracked notes.md, commit on top of the branch,
and fast-forward push over mbedTLS HTTPS+PAT. Reconcile handles up-to-date
and fast-forward; a true divergence (merge commit on FATFS) is deferred to
increment B. Runs on the dedicated 96 KB git thread; gated behind `git`.
Compiles clean; on-device clone/open+fast-forward not yet hardware-verified
(clone/checkout is deeper than the proven init path — the flash may need a
GIT_STACK bump).
libgit2's init→push chain is deeply stack-hungry (~67 KB measured for a
trivial config write; the push is deeper). Spike 7 sized the shared main
task stack at 96 KB for it, which forced the editor build to over-reserve
~80 KB.
Move git_publish onto its own std::thread (GIT_STACK = 96 KB via
Builder::stack_size) and join it from main. This lets
CONFIG_ESP_MAIN_TASK_STACK_SIZE drop back to 12288 — the Spike-6 value
proven to run the editor plus a TLS-on-main handshake — so the editor no
longer pays for git's stack.
Hardware-verified: the push ran off-main (mbedTLS + FATFS) with no panic,
no stack overflow, and no ENOMEM on the 96 KB spawn. This retires the
earlier "time() only works on the main task" misdiagnosis for good — it
was always the default 4 KB pthread stack overflowing, never thread-vs-main.
Retire the cert-check bypass. Embed GitHub's root CAs (github_roots.pem:
USERTrust ECC/RSA + DigiCert G2/Global Root CA), write them to /spiflash/ca.pem
at boot, and point libgit2's mbedTLS stream at them via
GIT_OPT_SET_SSL_CERT_LOCATIONS (CONFIG_MBEDTLS_FS_IO is on). The push callback
now returns CertificatePassthrough instead of CertificateOk, so the http
transport maps it to `is_valid ? 0 : -1` (httpclient.c:805) -- an untrusted or
MITM cert fails the push (fail-closed), no blanket-accept.
Hardware-verified 2026-07-06: `TLS trust store installed`, chain validated
against the embedded USERTrust ECC root, push accepted (branch
device/1783372683 on jcalixte/typoena-test). Roots must be refreshed if GitHub
rotates CAs; a product would prefer esp-idf's bundle via a custom subtransport.
Wi-Fi + SNTP + flash-FAT + libgit2 in one bench binary: init a fresh working
copy, commit, and push a per-boot device/<unix> branch over mbedTLS HTTPS with
PAT auth. Gated behind the `git` feature; built/flashed via `just flash-git-push`.
Status: local git init verified on hardware; the ODB-write fix and the full
push are not yet confirmed end-to-end on device. Cert verification is bypassed
in the push callback (spike shortcut) -- real trust-store wiring must land
before this leaves the bench.
Adds the extra_components metadata, git2 as an optional dep behind the
`git` feature (default-features off -> no openssl-sys/libssh2-sys), and a
git_smoke bin gated on it. libgit2-sys/libz-sys run in system mode against
fake pkg-config files (empty Libs) so they emit no link flags -- symbols
come from the esp-idf component. Proven on device: git2 version + a blob
SHA1 through the mbedTLS backend.
Standalone bench program (src/bin/sd_fat.rs, `just flash-sd`) that mounts
FAT over the EPD's shared SPI2 bus and proves the persistence module's
atomic save: write .tmp, fsync, rename, read back and compare.
Runs SD-only: the EPD's SpiBusDriver holds an exclusive bus lock for its
lifetime, so an arbitrated SD device can't be live alongside it yet. Keeps
CRC required and maps a card that rejects CMD59 to a clear "use a genuine
card" message rather than running the user's notes over an unchecked bus.
sdkconfig gains CONFIG_FATFS_LFN_HEAP (the atomic-save .tmp name isn't valid
8.3) and, temporarily, CONFIG_LOG_MAXIMUM_LEVEL_DEBUG to read the drivers'
per-command R1 bytes during bring-up.
Swap the mono font from the ascii subset to iso_8859_15 (Latin-9) so
à é ê ç … œ € have glyphs. Cell size is identical, so ASCII rendering is
byte-for-byte unchanged; groundwork for v0.2.5 international input.
Standalone `wifi_tls` binary: station assoc, SNTP, then a validated
HTTPS GET to api.github.com against the esp-idf cert bundle. Gates
Spike 7 (gitoxide push). Creds come from firmware/.env via build.rs.
Generalise the normal-mode command state machine into d/c operators that
compose with motions (dw, d$, …), doubled forms (dd, cc), and text
objects: iw/aw plus nesting-aware bracket pairs (i(, a{, …) and quotes
(i", i'). ciw/daw/di( and friends now work; pending op/object shows in
the status strip.
Per keystroke, diff the new frame against the last shown one to find the
changed row band and partial-refresh only those rows instead of all 272.
E-paper update time scales with the gate rows driven, so a single edited
text line refreshes far faster. Windowed in Y only (full width, both
controllers), so the seam/mirroring logic is unchanged. Also drop the
periodic full refresh to every 64 updates — the panel stays visually
clean, so it's now mainly for longevity.
Spike 5 — first spike where keyboard input and panel output run
together. usb_kbd changes from a blocking run() into start(): it brings
the USB host stack up on background threads and pushes edge-detected,
US-layout-translated key-downs onto a queue drained via next_key().
main.rs owns the panel, maintains a wrapped/scrolling text buffer, and
partial-refreshes per keystroke batch with a periodic full refresh to
clear ghosting. Logs per-refresh latency.
display_frame_partial writes the new image to bank 0x24, runs GxEPD2's
partial waveform (_Update_Part: 0x3C/0x80, 0x21/0x00,0x10, 0x22/0xFF,
0x20), then syncs bank 0x26 so the next partial has a correct baseline.
Like GxEPD2 for this dual-controller panel, the update covers the full
panel with the partial waveform — no windowing, since the waveform time
dominates. Much faster than a full refresh and without the flashing.
Spike 4. Drive the ESP-IDF USB Host Library directly through the raw
esp-idf-sys bindings (the convenience HID class driver is a managed
component not vendored in mainline, and a boot keyboard doesn't need
it). On attach, src/usb_kbd.rs enumerates the device and dumps its
descriptors, claims the boot-keyboard interface, sends SET_PROTOCOL(boot)
and SET_IDLE(0), then polls the interrupt-IN endpoint and decodes each
8-byte report into modifiers + keycodes logged over UART.
main.rs becomes the Spike 4 harness; the epd module is kept compiled
(allow(dead_code)) so it doesn't bit-rot. Verified on hardware with a
19f5:3255 keyboard: letters, digits, modifiers, and rollover all decode.
Add a thin dual-SSD1683 driver (src/epd.rs, ported from GxEPD2's
GxEPD2_579_GDEY0579T93) for the 792x272 e-paper panel: reset/init,
RAM addressing, the split-and-mirror full-frame blit across the
master/slave seam at x=396, and full-refresh waveform. Frame
implements embedded-graphics' DrawTarget.
Replace the Spike 1 blink harness in main.rs with the Spike 2 test:
SPI at 4 MHz over SCK 12 / DIN 11 / CS 7 / DC 6 / RST 5 / BUSY 4,
alternating normal/inverted frames with a seam-straddling circle,
"Typoena", and the build tag. Verified on hardware 2026-07-04.
The DevKitC-1 has no discrete LED on GPIO 2, so the Spike 1 blink was
invisible without external wiring. Drive the on-board addressable LED
(WS2812 on GPIO 48) each cycle for visible confirmation on the bench.
Generated from esp-rs/esp-idf-template for the ESP32-S3 std target.
src/main.rs toggles GPIO 2 every 500 ms and logs `blink N` over USB-
serial — the minimum bring-up surface called out in
docs/v0.1-mvp-technical.md (Spike 1: confirm toolchain, flash, and basic
GPIO). edition=2024 with rust-version=1.85.
No editor/render/git/usb/fs modules yet; those land per the spike
methodology when later spikes need them.
