:enew <name> creates a new file (empty, dirty, added to the palette list);
:delete unlinks the current file via a new Effect::Delete and switches to a
parked buffer or scratch. Scope is read from the path (local/x, repo/x) rather
than a modal prompt, and the /sd prefix is now optional in resolve_path.
On-device testing showed deletions never reached the remote: add_all(["*"])
alone does not stage a removal on this libgit2, so the tree came back unchanged
and the push was a silent no-op. stage_and_commit now runs add_all then
update_all(["*"]) (git add -u) — together git add -A. The :delete snackbar now
confirms the scoped file and flags that a Tracked file is local until :sync.
Cmd-P opens a modal transient palette over the writing column: a bare
fuzzy-search input, the ranked file list, and the selected row in reverse
video. A pure host-testable fuzzy_score (subsequence + word-boundary and
consecutive-run bonuses) ranks results; an in-core MRU floats recently
opened files first and is shared with :e (both route through open_path).
The host feeds the file list once at boot (enumerate_files over /sd/repo
and /sd/local). Ctrl-n/Ctrl-p navigate the list; Enter opens via the same
park/evict path as :e; Esc closes.
Ctrl-n/Ctrl-p also become down/up line motions in Normal and View (vim
CTRL-N/CTRL-P, count-aware), which is why the palette opener is Cmd-P
alone. No `>` prefix on the file input — `>` is reserved for the command
palette (slice 4).
112 editor + 28 keymap tests; the no-git firmware binary builds clean.
Rework the single Effect return into a drained effect queue
(Save{path,scope,contents} / Load / Publish / Pull) so one action can
ask the host for several ordered steps: opening a non-resident file
queues a Save of the outgoing dirty buffer then a Load of the target.
Keep the active buffer's fields inline on Editor and park inactive
buffers in a small LRU (<=3 resident = active + 2); switching back to a
resident buffer restores its caret/scroll/undo without touching the SD.
A dirty parked buffer is saved before eviction, so nothing leaves RAM
unsaved. `:e <path>` opens by prefix (/sd/repo -> Tracked, /sd/local ->
Local); `:sync` is refused in-core for a Local buffer.
Firmware drains the queue to empty each batch (a Load can cascade an
eviction Save) and persistence generalises the atomic save off the
hard-coded notes.md into load_path/save_path.
Also bump the side panel to FONT_9X15 and the `:` command line to
FONT_10X20 for legibility, word-wrapping the snackbar so a long notice
keeps its actionable tail.
A screen refresh that ran while :sync had Wi-Fi + TLS up could fail to
allocate an internal DMA bounce buffer (ESP_ERR_NO_MEM); the error
propagated through ? out of main(), main_task returned from app_main(),
and the editor loop died while the USB and git threads kept running —
keys logged, panel frozen forever.
A paint is idempotent and retryable (the buffer is the source of truth),
so every editor-loop paint now logs and drops the frame instead of
propagating, leaves shown untouched so the next paint repaints the diff,
and forces a full refresh next to re-sync both RAM banks. Same contract
as save_note. The boot-time first render stays fatal on purpose.
Add Effect::Pull and the `:gl` command (fetch + fast-forward only, refuse on
divergence). The editor side is host-tested; the firmware arm is a stub posting
"pull: not wired yet (v0.7)" — the on-device fetch/fast-forward in git_sync is
v0.7 work (only push is wired today).
Land the v0.1 editor integration: the git_sync module (libgit2 on the SD
/sd/repo, dedicated 96KB git thread, lazy Wi-Fi, :sync push with
synced/up-to-date/failed snackbars), the boot splash (Spike 9) plus its bin
and justfile recipes, and a power-on→cursor boot-timing log. Also re-syncs
the roadmap/spikes/v0.1-product status and adds the SD hardware reference
photo.
Boot posts "loaded <name>" (the note's filename without suffix); :w and
:sync post "saved" / "save FAILED - retry :w" via Editor::set_notice, so
save state is visible on-device, where there is no serial console.
Route :sync through publish(), whose git-push path is #[cfg(feature =
"git")]. Git code in the firmware binary is now only ever compiled with
--features git, so the default build stays a light editor build with no
git2 crate and (since the justfile only sets LIBGIT2_SRC for git recipes)
no libgit2 component. Feature is off by default; :sync saves locally.
Seed the editor from Storage::load at boot and persist on :w/:sync
through Storage::save. A missing card/repo/unreadable note halts boot
with the reason on the panel rather than starting empty and clobbering
the note on the next save. Save errors are logged, buffer kept in RAM.
The git-push half of :sync stays a TODO — it needs git_sync graduated
into a module on the dedicated git thread; :sync saves for now.
The pure, no-IO editor core can't persist or push, so `handle()` now
returns an `Effect` (None/Save/Publish) that the firmware actions. `:w`
signals Save, `:sync` signals Publish (save then git push); `:wq`/`:x`
alias Save with vim's "quit" half dropped, and the `:q` family stays
absent — an always-on appliance has nothing to quit to. `:fmt` remains
in-core and yields no effect.
The main loop keeps the batch's last effect and matches on it. Actual
SD-write and git-push are the v0.1 gate and still stubbed as log lines.
Move the editor core out of the firmware crate (pinned to the xtensa
target, so it can't run `cargo test`) into a standalone `editor` crate,
with the panel framebuffer + geometry split into a `display` crate. Both
depend only on embedded-graphics + keymap, so the editor is now
host-buildable and unit-tested (8 characterization tests). Firmware links
them and re-exports the geometry from epd.rs; behaviour is unchanged.
The xtensa firmware build was not verified in this environment.
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.
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.
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.
