Summary

Pane close and divider changes could leave cached AppKit cell metrics larger than Ghostty's live metrics. Use cell-size callbacks as invalidation signals: read the live surface in logical points, and repair the cache after committed geometry updates, reapplication, and same-frame reconciliation.

This integrates with the committed-pane geometry architecture now on main. It preserves that single resize authority and does not restore the obsolete resize-phase gate. Behavior coverage extends #12381's hidden-output/reveal repro through divider narrowing/widening and sibling removal, checks native grid spans and complete output preservation, and exercises stale metric repair at 1×/2× backing scales. Resize-completion tests now assert interactive-to-settled commits, including a missed native end callback.

Trade-off: geometry reconciliation adds a constant-time read of live native metrics. Notifications are emitted only when the logical cell size changes. The implementation remains a small addition to existing geometry paths.

Closes #12381.

Testing

Current HEAD: dc8c64922c21cfaea8110d81f12178561b4e5d58.

  • Swift file-length budget passes (five changed Swift files); the existing large terminal file shrinks by nine lines. No budget files changed.
  • Test wiring (970 files), project normalization, package lockfile/grouping policies, and diff checks pass.
  • Issue regression suite and committed geometry integration suite both passed on hosted macOS 15 at the current HEAD.
  • Current-HEAD Blacksmith build is blocked at workflow dispatch. The mandated HQ-main command provisioned a healthy direct backend, then exited 1 with gh workflow run failed. The shared GitHub REST quota is exhausted until September 18, 8:55 PM PT. No run URL was returned. Nonexistent fleet manifests and disabled local fallback stopped the fallback path; no fallback build ran. The tag opener still refers to the earlier build and is not current-HEAD evidence.
  • Localization audit: no user-facing strings changed.

Earlier revision 5209dd7 passed six native tests and live macOS 26.5 / 2× display verification: hidden output survived reveal, native divider drags changed the surviving grid 68 → 36 → 76 columns, and Command-W on its sibling expanded it to 94. All five rulers remained intact and cells stayed 8×17 points without window resize, fullscreen, or config reload. That recording documents the earlier revision; the integration with current main requires fresh user dogfood. macOS 27 customer dogfood remains unverified.

Demo Video

Earlier-revision native recording: cmuxterm-hq/artifacts/verify-remote/issue-12381-split-reflow-metrics/visual/pane-reflow-demo.mp4. Screenshots, geometry samples, reproduction script, and logs are retained with it. The video has not been uploaded to GitHub.

Checklist

  • Added behavior coverage for pane reflow and metric invalidation
  • Audited localization, file budgets, project and test wiring
  • Addressed the explicit-deinitializer review finding
  • Hosted integration tests on current HEAD
  • Blacksmith build on current HEAD
  • User dogfood approval before merge

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Terminal views now synchronize cached cell metrics during cell-size actions and pane geometry updates. New AppKit integration tests cover backing-scale conversion, hidden-output reflow, stale metric repair, and resize-state recovery.

Changes

Terminal metric and pane geometry synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cell metric synchronization
Sources/GhosttyNSView+CellMetrics.swift, Sources/GhosttyTerminalView.swift, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
GhosttyNSView validates and caches finite cell metrics and posts a notification when they change. Cell-size actions now synchronize metrics on the main actor. The new source is added to the app target.
Pane geometry propagation
Sources/GhosttyTerminalView.swift
Pane geometry commits, portal reapplication, and core surface synchronization now include cell-metric changes in their results.
Pane metric integration tests
cmuxTests/TerminalPaneMetricInvalidationTests.swift, cmuxTests/TerminalPaneMetricsFixture.swift, cmuxTests/TerminalPaneMetricsWindow.swift, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
New tests use a process-backed terminal in a real split view. They validate backing-scale conversion, hidden-output reflow, stale metric repair, same-frame reconciliation, and resize-state recovery. The test sources are added to the test target.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d2f54

No actionable behavior or integration defect is established in the reviewed changes. The targeted pane-metric tests are reported passing; complete the normal current-head build validation before release.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d2f54

The change affects 3 systems.

Architecture concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — cmuxTests (service) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — Sources (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — cmux.xcodeproj (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in Sources/GhosttyNSView+CellMetrics.swift: New extension on GhosttyNSView adds synchronizeCellMetrics(), which returns false when the surface reports no finite, positive cell size in points or when the size equals the cached cellSize; otherwise it caches the new size, posts the .ghosttyDidUpdateCellSize notification with GhosttyNotificationKey.cellSize, and returns true.
  • observed — Modified behavior in cmuxTests/TerminalPaneMetricInvalidationTests.swift: Add tests for terminal pane metric invalidation that import AppKit, CmuxTerminal, GhosttyKit, and an internal testable module, and define a @MainActor serialized suite TerminalPaneMetricInvalidationTests.
  • observed — Modified behavior in cmuxTests/TerminalPaneMetricInvalidationTests.swift: fontCallbacksUseCurrentLogicalCellSize parameterizes over backing scale 1 and 2, binds a TerminalPaneMetricsFixture, runs set_font_size:24 then set_font_size:13, and checks the hosted surface view's cell size matches the surface's logical cell points and the pixel-size divided by the backing scale.
  • observed — Modified behavior in cmuxTests/TerminalPaneMetricInvalidationTests.swift: hiddenOutputReflowsThroughDividerDragAndSplitClose writes output rows before binding, saves cell size and font, iterates divider widths 280, 620, and 360 via moveDivider, then closes the sibling and asserts the grid, text, cell size, and font stay stable.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The reviewed changes appear safe to merge, with the previous source-membership defect fixed and no new actionable findings.

Summary

Keeps AppKit’s cached terminal cell size aligned with Ghostty’s live logical-point metrics after pane geometry changes.

  • Cell-size callbacks now trigger authoritative reads instead of applying queued metric snapshots.
  • Geometry commits, reapplication, and same-frame reconciliation repair stale metrics, notifying observers only when the size changes.
  • Adds coverage for backing scales, divider changes, sibling removal, output preservation, and resize completion.
  • The latest revision completes app-target source membership. The previous finding is fully fixed: the extension and all three test files have explicit project membership.
