Complete codewhale-ratatui component catalogue and rendered README gallery #6814

2026-10-02 completed: native main-preview fidelity correction merged as PR #8 (Hmbown/codewhale-ratatui#8), source 2a56372128b41d32fc099bfa6b45a678709a2937, main de0f247dbe30176c4afbd100ea285b0f982985a3. All PR and exact-main CI/Gallery workflows succeeded (main CI36981614975, Gallery36981614926). Hosted Linux/macOS699 and Windows696 tests passed with zero failed/ignored; showcase11/11 checked in Gallery. Native shared water, focused composer, flowing transcript, consistent eight-panel dock facts, native permission cycling and working queue/shortcut behavior shipped. README serves updated dark/light1040x600 heroes and the complete195-entry catalogue; browser verified. Protected unrelated paths preserved. No registry publication or Engine runtime modification.

Fidelity slice expanded to the complete starter composition, native three-row shell floor and corresponding shell test, DESIGN.md and all affected snapshots/media. Additional exact paths: examples/starter.rs, src/components/shell.rs, tests/shell.rs. Focused validation: ocean 18/18, shell 1/1, showcase 11/11; regenerating gallery and animation assets before CI.

2026-10-02: PR #7 merged with all CI and gallery checks green; further user review found main showcase fidelity gaps. Active slice: native flowing conversation, focused composer, shared ocean through composer/footer/header, consistent context metrics and Underwater ambient gating. Root owns src/gallery/showcase.rs, examples/showcase.rs, tools/render-gallery.py, README.md and generated visual assets; delegated ocean helper owns src/ocean.rs and tests/ocean.rs. Native component catalog files remain peer-owned. The previous restraint pass is complete; this fidelity pass is in progress.

2026-10-02 polish slice: simplify the native showcase default and README presentation using current Codewhale TUI styling. Own README.md, tools/render-gallery.py, src/gallery/showcase.rs, examples/showcase.rs, related showcase snapshots and generated assets/readme. Preserve every component and terminal profile; no changes to workflow_progress or peer localization work. Verify actual dark/light/narrow renders and generated assets; land through green CI.

Quality upgrade complete and shipped: PR #6 merged to main at acbe8fa78a652d2a536a7eff193c4be973ce0816. Exact-main CI and Gallery previews both passed, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Rust 1.89, independent consumer/package tests, documentation and all animations. PR test counts: Linux/macOS 694 passed each, Windows 691 passed, zero failed/ignored. The public README and native workbar images are verified live. Research and implementation are documented in QUALITY.md, BENCHMARKS.md and CHANGELOG.md. Source commit 9328ea9; only 28 scoped paths landed. No registry publication or Engine migration. Local handoff: coordination/ratatui-20261001/LIBRARY-QUALITY-HANDOFF.md.PR #6 merged after all checks passed. Main is acbe8fa78a652d2a536a7eff193c4be973ce0816. Hosted PR suites: Linux 694 passed, macOS 694 passed, Windows qualification passed (exact counts in local handoff); zero test failures and no remaining ignored whale check. Source package/consumer/MSRV/docs and all native README animations passed. The public README visibly contains the new starter, borrowed/stateful integrations, quality/benchmark/changelog links, and loaded native workbar images. Exact-main Gallery previews is green; final main CI is completing its Windows job.Quality upgrade is pushed as 9328ea9 on feat/kit-buildout and open in PR #6: Upgrade native Ratatui integration, editing and package quality . Only the 28 declared source/docs/CI/test files were committed. Native previews are unchanged and match fresh exports. Full hosted gates, including new Windows, independent package tests, consumer and animation checks, are running; merge is held for green checks.Quality follow-up local gates: 171 focused input/list/ocean/adapter/bounds tests passed (zero ignored); final input/event run is 82+7 passed; 8 compiling doctests and warnings-as-errors rustdoc passed. The independent TestBackend consumer passed on Rust 1.89 and its runtime graph has no Ratatui backend. Source archive builds and its 121 library tests pass; 178 files, 529172 bytes compressed, required native assets present, local data/media excluded. Live starter PTY passed Unicode, sanitized bracketed paste, submission, editing, 40-column resize, no idle redraw, Esc/Ctrl-C and terminal restoration. Native ocean benchmark median 90.796→30.181µs including clone; full Work fixture 145.077→119.348µs locally, with deterministic cells preserved. Preparing the final PR/CI gate.2026-10-01 library quality follow-up: primary agent owns the implementation and Cargo checks after research helpers handed back. Scoped paths: manifest/lock, library adapters, list/picker/input, starter, consumer fixture, render bench, quality/changelog/README, CI, and stale whale bounds-test exemption. Research references are in QUALITY.md. Native Codewhale appearance is preserved. Focused adoption/Unicode/geometry tests have passed; packaging, performance and hosted checks are underway. Local session data and the unrelated settings snapshot remain untouched.Adapter slice extends native_workbar's exact ownership to src/components/list.rs and src/components/picker.rs: themed widgets implement Ratatui's existing StatefulWidget with current ListState/PickerState, persisting real viewport offsets after rendering. Existing Paint callers remain supported. No new event framework or state authority.

Quality path claim:
Quality implementation paths claimed: native_workbar owns src/lib.rs and tests/widget_interop.rs for borrowed/type-erased Ratatui adapters; workspace_surfaces owns src/components/text_input.rs and focused input regressions for incremental Unicode and deletion joins; native_fidelity_audit owns benches/render.rs and BENCHMARKS.md for bounded rendering measurements. Root owns Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock, .github/workflows/ci.yml, README.md, QUALITY.md, CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING-COMPONENTS.md, examples/starter.rs and tests/consumer/**. No native preview redesign. Existing protected untracked state remains untouched; no child Cargo builds/staging/commits. Root will batch and serialize validation.

Initial research checkpoint:
Research-led library quality follow-up requested by founder. Codex owns this existing ratatui checkout and will preserve the native Codewhale baseline. Initial read-only comparisons: official Ratatui integration/reference/state patterns, tui-widgets, rat-widget/rat-salsa, ratatui-textarea, tachyonfx. Three agents audit public API/interoperability, input/state correctness, and rendering/portability. Root owns docs/research, src/lib.rs and manifest/workflow integration; exact implementation paths will be claimed after findings. One Cargo run at a time; protected untracked settings snapshot, .codewhale and __pycache preserved. Prior native implementation remains completed in merged PR5. No publication or Engine migration.

Prior completed follow-up:
Completed the founder's native-TUI correction and full README/library update. PR Extract the current Codewhale TUI as reusable Ratatui components merged as b2e5e64f852ad6a368b21e7fb827bc4ac2797374 from 44a18155ff03481eb42ac3a421a0c3b4407645f0. Exact PR and main CI are green: Ubuntu, macOS and Rust 1.89 each passed 668 tests, 0 failed, 1 ignored; formatting, Clippy, generated and dependency-version checks passed. Exact main CI: https://github.com/Hmbown/codewhale-ratatui/actions/runs/36971368364 . README/Gallery/media main gate: https://github.com/Hmbown/codewhale-ratatui/actions/runs/36971368415 .

README now leads with native Codewhale's eight-panel workbar, composer/footer, source view recipes, all 16 fixed palettes with exact ink/ground slots, and the existing Underwater ocean. It showcases all 195 entries in both dark/light collections (139 boards, 1755 exports), six actual-buffer clips, marine life and the native whale performance. VIEWS.md maps all 33 current modal variants; COMPONENTS.md documents reusable APIs and source correspondence. Optional desktop-inspired compositions and extra ombres remain labeled variations. Browser verification on actual GitHub main loaded all 139 unique boards and all six unique GIFs without broken images. Repository About text was updated too. Late audit verified source fingerprints and current public APIs/controls. Local 261 focused passes and live 112×38/40×28 checks passed. No Engine migration, package release or deployment; unrelated .codewhale/, pycache/ and the settings snapshot were preserved. Final coordination receipt: coordination/ratatui-20261001/ART-DIRECTION-HANDOFF.md.

Earlier checkpoints and history:
Latest native TUI follow-up head: 44a18155ff03481eb42ac3a421a0c3b4407645f0 in Extract the current Codewhale TUI as reusable Ratatui components. Local checks total 261 focused passes. First hosted run exposed an outdated runtime-dependency allowlist after native character serialization was added; its guard is corrected and both focused contract tests pass. Fresh exact-head README/gallery/animation verification, formatting, Clippy, generated files and one-ratatui checks are green. Full Ubuntu/macOS/MSRV checks are still running; merge awaits green. README and both API/source guides reflect current native Codewhale presentation.

Previous checkpoint:
Native TUI follow-up is implemented and pushed in Extract the current Codewhale TUI as reusable Ratatui components (head a172e73be44cb4b4427bf846eeca6920e86d4b4a). Founder clarified that the library must extract current Codewhale presentation rather than replace it with invented components. Delivered the native eight-panel dock, composer, workflow rows, footer, inline messages, instrument shell, session list, all 16 fixed palettes with native inks/grounds, and 22 source view recipes. VIEWS.md maps all 33 current ModalKind variants. Optional desktop compositions and extra ombre treatments remain explicitly optional. README covers 195 entries, 1755 exports and 139 boards, plus the 128/128/170-frame new clips. Local 259 focused tests, formatting, locked all-target Clippy, source palette/golden correspondence, 2 live PTY sizes and generated assets checks passed. Hosted Gallery is green;Ubuntu/macOS/MSRV full suite checks are still running. Exact path staging preserved the 3 unrelated local paths; no Engine migration or package release.

Previous work:
Active artistic-direction follow-up: founder requests different colors, ombrés, a complete artistic director and full component coverage. Codex owns the existing ratatui checkout on feat/kit-buildout. Planned exact additions: optional atmosphere/color module, gallery and focused tests; a unified live artistic showcase; canonical whale performance support and conformance receipts; README/media integration, documentation and module wiring. Existing catalog-owned component files remain untouched. Agents are auditing canonical source before implementation; root will serialize Cargo validation and own the final commit/PR/main gates. No worktrees, Engine runtime migration, deploy or release.

Previous verified completion:
Completed the component catalogue, the expanded Codewhale visual pass and the founder's spinners/animation follow-up.

The Hmbown/codewhale-ratatui#4 merged as 84f4db0d26809ea706bc0ff100d80262f6e7f3ab after every check passed on source d02d14799b046fb6c9fdd3969c36ec9202251f34. CI and Gallery previews also passed on that exact main merge.

Delivered:

• Responsive project, review and fleet compositions, the summoned Workbar, attention queue, artifact shelf and settings details, using the existing Ocean and Paper design tokens.
• FishSchool, Jellyfish, BubbleField and Habitat with native Engine poses, ASCII silhouettes, caller-clock motion, reduced/still policy and protection around foreground content and decision overlays.
• The existing eight-frame working swell plus a distinct Engine-derived VerificationSpinner. Both share earned delay, measured time, caller words and quiet-mode behavior.
• A live motion example covering Working → Verifying → Done, state ink, selection movement and detail reveal. Supports phase changes, completion, replay, all nine profiles, Full/Reduced/Still and resizing. Completed and quiet states block for input without idle repaints.
• Ocean and Paper 128-frame motion clips in the README, alongside the existing 80-frame habitat clip. One validated shared media builder/checker replaced the habitat-specific tools; the habitat GIF regenerates byte-identically.
• Whale::paint_frame accepts and validates exact packed frames supplied by the canonical owner. It preserves transparency and state words, clips safely, and falls back to words if the entire frame cannot fit. This is a renderer adapter; the authoritative Director's springs, clips and lifecycle have not been ported into this crate.
• Complete current gallery coverage: 110 entries in all nine profiles (990 actual-buffer exports), every entry in dark and light README collections, and 47 native-scale boards.

Current verification:

• Local motion qualification: 70 targeted tests and the 3 snapshot-target tests passed. Only three new verification baselines were added; existing snapshots were unchanged. The final narrow-mode caption correction passed all 4 motion-example tests again.
• Formatting, locked all-target Clippy, examples build and six invalid/stale media cases passed.
• Live terminal check passed Working/Verifying/Done/replay, profile and motion controls, 96×30 ↔ 40×28 resizing, visible policy at narrow width, no idle repaint after completion or under Reduced/Still, exit and terminal restoration.
• Hosted Ubuntu, macOS and Rust 1.89 each passed 533 tests, 0 failed, 1 ignored. The existing catalog-owned whale audit remains ignored in its source; it was explicitly executed and passed locally during the prior visual pass. Current dedicated whale-frame bounds tests pass.
• Hosted gallery and motion examples passed 2 and 4 tests. All 47 boards, 990 exports and 80/128/128 frame hashes matched. Exact main CI and Gallery previews are green.
• Visual inspection covered both motion boards and ten actual Ocean/Paper animation samples. GitHub main was reloaded and verified to load all 47 SVG boards and both unique 960×600 motion GIFs; the motion disclosure is expanded.

Earlier integrations: Hmbown/codewhale-ratatui#2, Hmbown/codewhale-ratatui#3. Their evidence remains attached.

Shared checkout remains on feat/kit-buildout with exact-path staging, no reset, rebase or new worktree. The external catalog ownership split and unrelated untracked settings snapshot were preserved. No runtime dependency was added. This library work does not establish Engine adoption, deployment or a package release.

2026-10-07 PDT — Codex animated pet component claim. Founder requests a fully animated Codewhale pet in the Ratatui component library matching the current GPUI character. Work is in the existing codewhale-ratatui checkout/branch, preserving unrelated website and README edits. Exact claimed paths: src/components/whale_pet.rs, src/components/mod.rs, src/whale_motion/scene.rs, src/whale_motion/habitat.rs, src/whale_motion/acting.rs, examples/pet.rs, tests/whale_pet.rs, COMPONENTS.md, DESIGN.md, and assets/readme/pet-* previews. Reuse the existing canonical Director/Stage and contour data; add a reusable themed animated cove/character painter, host-driven input/time, reduced-motion and terminal capability fallbacks, and interactive/offline preview. Library work only; no Engine owner changes, deployment or release. Historical catalogue completion remains Done; this append claims the bounded follow-up.
Path claim refinement for the animated pet follow-up: also src/avatar_sprite.rs (reuse its half-block painter for one decoded live image), src/whale_motion/{mod.rs,pixels.rs} (bounded canonical contour/cove rasterization). The existing acting/habitat algorithms remain intact unless verification identifies a required fix.

2026-10-07 PDT — Animated native pet follow-up implemented. Shared-checkout source commit cd0b4b316eb8bb7471ae2bbb2aa8da825b404a5b; pet-only review commit 97ee97e9467ebe7c3fa6741971474174a8792aef on current origin/main c9eb312, PR codewhale-hq/codewhale-ratatui#20. Review contains exactly the 13 claimed pet/widget/raster/example/test/doc/preview paths; unrelated unmerged avatar work and dirty website/README paths are preserved. No worktree or checkout switch.

WhalePet reuses the canonical Stage/Director and Sprite half-block renderer for the GPUI cove, gradients, apertures, alpha transitions, props, particles and calves. It supports all 17 actions, host-owned time/input, native pointer/ripples, three rig directions, reduced-motion posters, Braille/ASCII/unknown-ground fallbacks, and real pod counts. Local verification: 60 focused Rust tests (29 canonical conformance + 22 existing boundaries + 9 new pet tests), 0 failed; 9 doctests, 0 failed; fmt, locked all-target Clippy with -D warnings, doc with -D warnings, example build passed. Eight controlled PTY smoke checks passed, including reduced idle 0 bytes/600 ms and resize/exit restoration. Computer controls denied Ghostty access; no Ghostty screenshot or live Engine qualification is claimed. Two previews match 200 actual-buffer frames each. Artifacts: CW/artifacts/ratatui-pet-20261007/{source-receipt.json,terminal-smoke.json,dark/,light/}. Hosted exact-tree CI is pending; no deployment or package publication.

Ratatui animated whale pet handoff — 2026-10-07 Pacific: PR codewhale-hq/codewhale-ratatui#20 merged normally at 2026-10-08 06:46:03 UTC. Reviewed source 97ee97e9467ebe7c3fa6741971474174a8792aef; merge 11adb51e7c0b94e95f81bb15dcf8bc4a15d6f810 verified on origin/main. Only the 13 claimed pet component/example/tests/docs/media paths landed. Shared feat/library-learning checkout and unrelated README/website/export edits remain intact.

Hosted CI run 37738999271 passed all source jobs: full Cargo suites including doctests macOS 753 passed/0 failed/0 ignored, Linux 753/0/0, Windows 750/0/0, Rust 1.89 753/0/0; each lane passed four recipe tests. Packaged library 125/0/0 and generated files 9/0/0 passed. Formatting, Clippy, dependency/consumer/docs checks, gallery-preview workflow 37738999252, and CodeQL workflow 37738997061 passed. External optional Devin review was still pending at merge and was not an enforced gate. Local focused tests 60/0 and doctests 9/0, PTY smoke 8/8, and both 200-frame buffer GIFs verified as recorded above.

Delivered a reusable WhalePet StatefulWidget driven by the existing canonical Stage, full native rig/cove action animation, mouse gaze and water response, reduced motion, profile/Braille/ASCII fallbacks, and an interactive cargo run --locked --example pet preview. Component is available to consumers; this handoff does not assert Engine adoption, release/deployment, or native Ghostty visual qualification. Evidence: /Volumes/VIXinSSD/CW/artifacts/ratatui-pet-20261007/merged-receipt.json, hosted-counts.json, terminal-smoke.json. This bounded follow-up is complete.

2026-10-08 PDT — Dynamic subagent view follow-up claimed by Codex in the existing codewhale-ratatui checkout on feat/library-learning. Founder requests a more dynamic subagent view after the GPUI pet. Scope: reusable interactive roster/detail component over host-supplied AgentCard state, activity, counts and event receipts; the focused native WhalePet, live phase marks, stable-ID navigation/attention jump, capability-gated intent actions, responsive layout and reduced-motion/terminal fallbacks. Exact paths: src/components/subagents.rs, src/components/mod.rs, examples/subagents.rs, tests/subagents.rs, COMPONENTS.md, assets/readme/subagents-dark.gif{,.json}, assets/readme/subagents-light.gif{,.json}. Reuse existing Stage, Spinner/VerificationSpinner, CountBar, Theme, safe text and buffer preview utilities. Source presentation only; no Engine runtime/roster authority changes, deployments, provider calls, messages or release. Existing #5479 Core fleet issue read for authority/retained-history constraints; it remains a separate runtime acceptance lane. Preserve all unrelated dirty README/website/export files and avatar commits; no worktree or checkout switch. Handoff will record exact source and local/hosted proof.

2026-10-08 PDT — Dynamic subagent view implemented and in review. Shared-checkout commit d45ba25b040838c72d8ab50d8e6ff500e3a16de2, subagent-only review commit 037b09ae2f055ecb574603416b61841606c55ccc on origin/main 11adb51. PR codewhale-hq/codewhale-ratatui#21 contains exactly the nine claimed component/module/example/tests/docs/GIF paths. Shared branch and unrelated dirty README/website/export files and unmerged avatar work remain intact; no checkout switch or worktree.

SubagentView reuses AgentCard, canonical Stage/WhalePet, native work/checking marks, CountBar, theme and safe text. Stable-ID focus survives owner reorder and retains completed history; ambiguous/empty IDs and hidden views cannot receive intents. Capability-gated Open/Message/Stop requests leave execution/state authority with the host. Wide roster/detail and compact peek, attention jump, scrollable chronological receipts, exact owner counts and missing-telemetry behavior are included. Visible work animates; Working→Done earns one brief native flourish; Reduced/Still, hidden, empty and settled views request no timed redraws. The explicit fixture tour starts no workers/providers/messages.

Local proof: 77 focused tests (12 new subagents, 42 existing motion, 9 native pet, 9 verification, 5 workspace), zero failures; final 12 subagent tests passed after compact/hidden-input refinements. 10 doctests, formatting, locked all-target Clippy -D warnings, docs -D warnings and example build passed. Controlled PTY 12/12 passed, including stable intent IDs, compact detail, resize/exit restoration, and zero bytes over 650 ms at reduced/completed idle. Initial smoke assertions incorrectly treated incremental terminal diffs as full text; forced full-repaint captures confirmed all three intent notices. Both 200-frame GIFs match current source buffers; six final theme/state/size captures inspected, four invalid export sizes rejected. No package.json here, so npm/check:web is inapplicable. Exact reviewed-tree cross-platform/package CI is running. Receipts: CW/artifacts/ratatui-subagents-20261008/{source-receipt.json,terminal-smoke.json,dark/,light/,compact/}. No Engine adoption, real workers, deployment or release is claimed.

Dynamic subagent final-review follow-up: four validated review edge cases are corrected together (compact usage visibility, empty compact message, per-worker/per-checking native pending delay, and anchored history while new wrapped receipts append). Added four focused regressions, bringing this slice to 16 subagent tests and 81 focused tests total; all pass with 10 doctests. The canonical Stage deliberately has one performance clock and is not Clone. Exact additional claimed path CONTRIBUTING-COMPONENTS.md reconciles that documented ownership exception with the component guide; final PR scope is ten files. Refreshed previews and native smoke are being checked before the same PR receives its final source update.

2026-10-08 PDT — Dynamic subagent view handoff complete. PR codewhale-hq/codewhale-ratatui#21 merged normally at 2026-10-08 08:37:07 UTC as 2c61c84658987b2bac7bed443d5780da26d4fccd, final reviewed head 8408eea055ed0acdba643140c93c25c81c228547. Source commits remain in the shared checkout through 7965c1875c1e7e31c71073b179244863c8515d52; only the ten claimed component/module/example/tests/docs/GIF paths landed. No worktree, checkout switch, force push, runtime migration or unrelated source landing. Dirty README/website/export files and untracked operator state remain intact.

Final-source CI run 37750324789 passed all jobs: full Cargo suites including doctests macOS/Linux/Rust 1.89 each 770 passed/0 failed/0 ignored, Windows 767/0/0; each lane also passed four recipe tests. Packaged library 125/0/0 and generated files 9/0/0 passed. Gallery run 37750324754 and CodeQL run 37750320219 passed, including all four language analyses. Local 81 focused tests + 10 doctests, all passing; final controlled PTY 12/12 and both 200-frame GIF source hashes passed. Four validated review edge cases received regressions; both BackTab and Shift+Tab representations are covered. Stage's unique clock/non-Clone boundary is documented consistently.

Delivered SubagentView, host-owned Subagent/AgentCard facts and explicit performance inputs, stable-ID focus, working/checking marks with per-phase earned delay, attention navigation, compact detail with usage, anchored receipt history, capability-gated intents, and bounded native WhalePet motion. Empty/unknown/missing telemetry remains truthful; Reduced/Still, hidden and settled views ask for no idle redraws. Runnable fixture: cargo run --locked --example subagents -- --profile dark-truecolor. Preview fixtures start no real workers or providers. Engine integration and #5479 runtime acceptance remain separate; no external messages, deployment or package publication occurred. Final receipts: CW/artifacts/ratatui-subagents-20261008/{merged-receipt.json,source-receipt.json,local-validation.json,hosted-counts.json,terminal-smoke.json}.

2026-10-08 PDT — Codex refinement claim after founder correction: replace the scripted subagent success story with a real AgentList roster input path and an empty-by-default viewer. Exact paths: src/components/subagents.rs, examples/subagents.rs, tests/subagents.rs, COMPONENTS.md, assets/readme/subagents-dark.gif{,.json}, assets/readme/subagents-light.gif{,.json}. Reuse the current AgentCard/Stage; improve readable result/history, exact optional usage, compact layout and pointer/keyboard selection. Any sample motion remains explicitly opt-in sample data; no fabricated test outcomes, costs, model routes or live-worker claims. Read Engine retained AgentRosterRow and protocol AgentList in existing cw-ts-extensions checkout; no Engine or release-lane source changes claimed. Preserve unrelated dirty README/website/export and avatar work. This remains a library refinement, not C01 runtime acceptance.
Path claim addition for the roster refinement: .github/workflows/gallery.yml runs the real-schema adapter tests and verifies both explicit sample GIFs against current terminal buffers. No new component catalogue or README changes claimed.

2026-10-08 PDT — Founder explicitly extends the task to full pet mode as the actual user-facing Codewhale screen. Codex claims src/components/pet_mode.rs, src/components/mod.rs, tests/pet_mode.rs, examples/pet_mode.rs, COMPONENTS.md and assets/readme/pet-mode-{dark,light}.gif{,.json}, plus .github/workflows/gallery.yml for buffer proof. Reuse canonical Stage, WhalePet and SubagentView; host owns response lines, roster, actions, session and input. Actual Engine /pet adapter is claimed on #6155. The preceding truthful subagent refinement is checkpointed as 21ed348 and PR codewhale-hq/codewhale-ratatui#22 (review 92194c2), with 20+3 tests, 10 doctests, Clippy and PTY 15/15 passing. Preserve unrelated website/README/export and avatar work.

2026-10-08 bounded full-pet follow-up landed: library PR #23 codewhale-hq/codewhale-ratatui#23 merged as a17fc29cc9555b405c4f3da8af28f898e7d0cc6d at 13:05 UTC; its retained-roster ancestor #22 was merged automatically. Exact review head 61bd3becd7001f5b480531d2c3f265b9e1a57256 passed all 10 returned hosted CI checks (format, Clippy, Linux/macOS/Windows tests, MSRV 1.89, dependency singularity, consumer/docs/package, generated files, gallery). The older managed CodeQL run on #22 had a service failure leaving Python queued and could not be retried; no fresh CodeQL analysis result is claimed for #23. Local final PetMode proof: 5 integration tests + 1 hidden-clock guard passed; 7/7 controlled idle PTY checks; both shipped GIFs match all 200 final actual buffers. Earlier roster proof: 22 tests + 3 native JSON/reload example tests + 2 bounded-output controls passed. Source commits 9e6cbe6 + dd23d3c; review/source receipts under artifacts/ratatui-full-pet-20261008/. The additional canonical Director::completing() query deletes the wrapper's separate completion timer/cache. Engine /pet on adoption is separately owned under #6155 and still in local verification; no installed/released client or live-account journey is claimed.

2026-10-08 post-merge follow-up claim for PR #23: src/components/pet_mode.rs, tests/pet_mode.rs and COMPONENTS.md only. Fix verified streamed-response tail following while preserving the reader's scroll position; use the canonical Director turn identity and an explicit host reset to resume on a new turn. The Engine vendor copy will match. The shipped catalogue acceptance stays separate from this new bounded library correction; focused tests, Clippy and review evidence will follow.

2026-10-08 bounded stream-follow handoff: source 6ab4a63a22779148c5295adcda3dd941e642b226; review PR codewhale-hq/codewhale-ratatui#24 at 23d8c93113813150926614e8de60da2430504dbd. All three source/review blobs match, and the Engine vendor component at PR #6920 final ea7e929 is identical. Six PetMode integration tests passed, 0 failed, plus locked all-target Clippy with warnings denied and formatting. Actual buffers cover appends, preserved older positions, keyboard/wheel pause, Home/End, reaching bottom and a new typed turn. Unchanged idle animation/previews/PTY were not repeated. Hosted snapshot: 13 passed, zero failures; Windows tests and Rust CodeQL pending. Main PR #23 remains merged; this new correction is not yet claimed landed. Receipts: /Volumes/VIXinSSD/CW/artifacts/ratatui-full-pet-20261008/library-tail-receipt.json.

2026-10-08 final shared-library correction landed: PR #24 merged at 13:47:42 UTC as 4ee9a54adafb90d5c0ae3a32e2a1eb6a8c3332c2, exact review 23d8c93113813150926614e8de60da2430504dbd. All 16 returned hosted checks passed, including Rust CodeQL and Windows. Six focused PetMode tests, all-target locked Clippy with warnings denied and formatting passed locally. This verifies the bounded stream-follow correction; physical Engine/desktop-owner acceptance remains open under #6155. Hosted check receipt: artifacts/ratatui-full-pet-20261008/library-tail-hosted-proof.json.

2026-10-08 PDT — Founder-requested latest whale graphics follow-up (Codex). Existing codewhale-ratatui checkout feat/library-learning; preserve peer README reorganization and website/export edits. Current native contour art and authored clips already match the shared original whale; the Oct 7–8 WhalePet/PetMode components and preview assets are absent from the main catalogue/README. Claim: src/gallery/pet.rs, src/gallery/mod.rs, tools/render-gallery.py, README.md (pet intro/API/usage and generated gallery only), GETTING-STARTED.md (pet recipes), .github/workflows/gallery.yml (verify existing pet clips), generated assets/readme/pet collection boards + index.json and five pet gallery snapshots. Reuse existing components/clock, current 2D artwork, and actual-buffer GIFs. Run focused existing pet/geometry/media checks and browser review; no Engine, desktop, deployment or release changes.
Pet-feature scope refinement: COMPONENTS.md gains the exact five pet catalogue names and existing public-API crosswalk rows. The four generated collection boards are assets/readme/pet.{dark,light}-truecolor-{1,2}.svg. Existing peer README reorganization/website edits remain outside the slice.
2026-10-08 PDT — Whale-feature source is committed as 975ec936c1bfc5805f7211778f85ad59a8c4a9a0. PR Feature the animated whale pet in the gallery and README has review 2082a82b6013a67439d3396e2123c797b56fde8c on main 6f0ab44; all 17 scoped blobs match source exactly. New native pet collection has five entries; README features the four existing dark/light activity and full-view GIFs plus controls/integration. Local 24 Rust + 17 Python checks passed; fmt/all-target Clippy passed; all four GIFs match 800 freshly exported frames. 139 boards/209 entries, and 7,524 web buffers (209×9×4), exported and verified. Browser review found no broken images. First new ASCII caption check failed and was corrected before final 3/3 gallery tests. Peer README reorganization and three website files remain unstaged/unchanged. Hosted review checks pending; no main landing, Engine update, deployment or publication yet.
2026-10-08 PDT — Whale-feature follow-up completed. PR #26 merged normally after all 16 hosted checks returned SUCCESS, including Linux/macOS/Windows, Rust 1.89, package/consumer/docs, full Gallery/media and Rust CodeQL. Main merge 80cb0c007638afde022d07545833b3f006462faf at 2026-10-09T01:29:54Z. GitHub main visibly shows the new animated whale hero, full pet view and five-entry pet collection; all 20 pet image elements loaded successfully (GitHub creates duplicate GIF elements). Local source 975ec936 remains in the existing checkout with all four prior modified files and protected untracked state preserved. Evidence: CW/artifacts/ratatui-whale-feature-20261008/{source-receipt.json,hosted-checks.json,ci-run.json}. No website deployment, package publication or Engine/installed-client change.

2026-10-09 PDT — Founder-requested Ratatui craft follow-up, owner Codex. Work is scoped to canonical codewhale-ratatui on main, with pre-existing branch/dirty work inventoried and preserved first. Claimed paths: src/components/{surface,progress,tabs,segmented,list,picker,hints}.rs, src/avatar_sprite.rs, src/whale_motion/pixels.rs, src/components/{whale_pet,pet_mode}.rs, DESIGN.md, related existing snapshots/expectations and generated preview assets. Review shared focus/selection hierarchy, fine-grained graphics and pet rendering across terminal profiles and widths; preserve host-owned state, motion/accessibility fallbacks. No new tests or code comments; existing checks and actual renders provide evidence. Engine/App adoption, website deployment and publication remain separate. Reuse this issue's completed catalogue acceptance; this new refinement slice is in progress.Exact craft slice additions after read-only audit: src/components/instrument.rs (long localized action wrapping), src/components/transcript.rs (shared scrollbar endpoint), src/whale.rs (intentional empty caption), existing tests/chrome.rs, tests/display.rs, tests/native_views.rs, tests/pet_mode.rs, tests/whale_pet.rs. No runtime/Engine files. Canonical main restored to c5fe06e; all four pre-existing dirty website files retained byte-for-byte. Older 3244431/20848f5 avatar expansion is preserved in original branch and external recovery bundle, not silently landed. Recovery inventory: CW/artifacts/ratatui-craft-20261009/recovery/INVENTORY.md. Workspace status refreshed.Founder expanded the craft request during implementation: give other themes equal attention and explore light/time/space and animation. Additional exact ownership: src/ocean.rs + tests/ocean.rs (theme-derived fields while preserving terminal-owned grounds and native Ocean); src/ombre.rs + tests/atmosphere.rs (slow caller-clock palette drift); src/gallery/showcase.rs (bounded completion reflection, sparse active caustics and atmospheric motion). Light pet gets distinct visible sea-glass currents in src/whale_motion/pixels.rs. Existing full-check attempt finished unit checks then stopped at six deliberately outdated approval-corner snapshots; snapshot review/update will follow final source. No failed runtime behavior concealed; source gates still in progress.Theme parity follow-up also owns examples/showcase.rs: optional --theme export selector for reviewing all native themes in the actual work surface. Review identified aliased structural/semantic colors in Matrix, Tokyo Night and Dracula; generic ocean pass now preserves these fills while explicit conversation chrome can opt into the shared column. Existing property assertions extended; no new tests.2026-10-09 Ratatui craft/theme parity follow-up complete. Canonical /Volumes/VIXinSSD/CW/codewhale-ratatui is on main, pushed as 387562b5b924dd9e3230064aee7834cb507e2e9f (origin/main equal). Shared rounded surfaces, focus/selection grounds, eighth-cell count bars, localized hint wrapping and scrollbar endpoints; 160-pixel bounded antialiased whale, premultiplied avatar sampling, quieter dark cove and light sea-glass currents; compact reading priority and hidden-art redraw suppression. All painted native truecolor presets derive depth/reflections from their own colors; terminal-owned/fallback grounds stay intact; semantic RGB aliases are protected. Caller-controlled ombre drift and finite completion breath reuse existing motion lifecycle. Showcase exports accept --theme for reproducible studies. README updated only in four narrow owning passages (including obsolete dark-only gate wording), with prior reorganization preserved unstaged; tests/tui_palettes.rs existing expectation updated. No new test functions or code comments.

Local evidence: 777 unique unit/integration checks across 45 suites, 10 doc tests, 24 example tests; format, all-target Clippy and docs with warnings denied passed. Initial rounded-edge snapshot mismatches regenerated/reviewed (58 tracked snapshots); obsolete Underwater-only assertion corrected and focused continuation passed. 209 entries × 9 profiles = 1,881 actual buffers; 139 README boards verified. 12 GIFs match 1,962 actual frame exports. 7,524 website buffers verified with committed exporter independently of peer modifications. Post-commit web motion: 6 tracks/762 frames and 7 tests passed. Reviewed 12 additional native theme studies, shared controls and light/dark pet; live studio navigation/profile/motion/theme and clean terminal restoration checked.

Handoff and previews: /Volumes/VIXinSSD/CW/artifacts/ratatui-craft-20261009/ (verification.json, theme-studies.png, theme-preview.png, pet-study.png, shoreline-light.gif). No Engine adoption, installed-app change, release or hosted-CI success claimed. Prior website/docs/export changes remain unstaged; untracked operator state/caches/settings snapshot preserved. Original feat/library-learning at 20848f5 and its two net missing avatar commits remain recoverable, unverified and unpushed; bundle/patch/inventory in recovery/. Main topology restored, no branches/checkouts deleted.
