The per-signal page bypassed the signals lock for the acquire tick and the math
Edit/Delete buttons, and offered "Plot on r" for a plot the signal was already on.
A removed page also let another signal's page show during the close animation.

The session old-file probe and save_scheduled now discriminate, Esc is read through the real key path, the dock-section probe proves the Measure section starts out of view, and the tour's spotlight is measured independently of the helper it is drawn from. A target scrolled out of its scroller no longer leaves the previous hole standing.

The two drawn tab glyphs were judged not understandable enough; the
switcher goes to the wide policy with titles only, and the glyphs,
their gresource entries and the icon-naming code are removed.

Multicast was verified on a loopback group (239.255.42.99 on 127.0.0.1); a real network was not exercised.

The E-1608 source marks every restart as lost and logs each overrun; its form stops touching
siblings after the chooser destroys them; the link skips command id 0, retries a full-buffer
discover send and ignores a zero-length scan read. Session files escape \n and \r; get_int and
get_double reject out-of-range values; the UDPS port spin reports changes; a skipped source panel
says why on stderr. The E-1608 probe now checks the signal names and the reconnect itself.

GTK4 defaults to Vulkan, and an X11-forwarded display has no device to make a
swapchain from; the plot is a GtkGLArea, so it then asks for a GL context that
is not there either. --renderer cairo is the software preset for that display:
it exports GSK_RENDERER=cairo and LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 in main() before
gtk_init()/adw_init(), because both are read when the renderer and the context
are created. --renderer gl is the faster choice when indirect GL works, and
--renderer vulkan makes the default explicit. Nothing is exported, and GTK's
own choice stands, when the option is absent.
The once-a-second header line is now behind UDPSCOPE_PROBE_HEADER, following
the [notrace] rule: its widths are still sampled for the exit dump, but the
line is detail behind that reading rather than output every run prints.
UDPSCOPE_PROBE_RENDERER prints the exported pair before GTK starts and the
GskRenderer GTK actually built.
README, the manual's overview and docs/claude record the two symptoms and the
cure.
The plotter caps a density grid at kDensityCellCap now (deps/plotter), so a 2 s
window with persistence on no longer scales the image with the window: the
probe's four one-signal rows read 1 044 714 cells / 4 178 856 bytes where they
read 2 226 150 / 8 904 600, and a moved frame uploads 1 044 714 bytes where it
uploaded 2 226 150. The probe's own legs are unchanged (on peak=1.0000,
step-acquisitions peak=1.5000, step-time ratio=0.367879).
The paint probe no longer counts a frame the density is drawing as *traceless*.
`Renderer::draw_traces()` returns while the ink is the image, so every frame of
a persistence display stages no trace: the dump read `traceless paints: 653
(637 after the first bind)` for a run whose real figure is 4 (0), and the
`[notrace]` line printed for each of those frames. It is now behind
UDPSCOPE_PROBE_NOTRACE -- a per-paint line is a log flood and not a reading --
while the counters it details stay in every build, and the line stays reachable
for the state it was written for (a bound row that draws nothing).
Docs corrected where they stated the old rule: the README, the trigger
invariants, the density probe's readings, the verification list (the new
variable) and the manual page behind the panel's tooltip.
The plotter now deposits every acquisition -- the newest included -- into one grid per trace and
draws no solid trace over it, each grid in that trace's colour and with a one-sweep ceiling (its own
commit, **1b8b55d**). This side needed almost no change of its own, because the colour was already
the trace's and the trace's colour is `RowSet::signal_color()` -- the invariants' one route -- but the
figures it reads back are now per trace:
- **The ceiling is left at the library's default of one sweep**, no longer derived from the fade.
Deriving it from the steady state is the gain offset the user reported between the latest
acquisition and the persistent image; a signal crossing the same place every acquisition now settles
at the trace's colour, at full strength, and the newest sweep reads as the trace it is a picture of.
- **`cells`/`grid_bytes` are the sum over the row's traces** -- one grid each, a trace with no series
holding none -- and both the probe and the exit dump carry `traces=` beside `rows=`. That is what
makes the per-signal memory figure read: **556 537 cells and 2.2 MB per signal**, at 8904600 bytes
over the four one-signal rows of the probe's run.
The probes, re-read on this build (the `verification.md` command, `--rate 500000 --batch 1000`):
[density-probe] off enabled=0 ... rows=0 traces=0 cells=0 ink=0.0 peak=0.0000
[density-probe] on enabled=1 ... rows=4 traces=4 cells=2226150 ink=226786.0 peak=1.0000
[density-probe] step-acquisitions ... peak=1.5000
[density-probe] time-before ... peak=2.1359
[density-probe] step-time ... ratio=0.367879
[density-probe] frame cost: tick 0.62 -> 6.96 ms (184/23 frames), draw 2.02 -> 6.16 ms (177/18)
[udpscope] density: frames=748 rows=4 traces=4 cells=2226150 grid_bytes=8904600 ink=489400.2 peak=2.2 upload_bytes=2226150
`on` `peak=1.0000`, `step-acquisitions` `peak=1.5000` and `step-time` `ratio=0.367879` are the legs
that were expected, unchanged; the *draw* mean is now **below** the run before the split (2.02 -> 6.16
against 2.09 -> 20.91), because the solid traces are no longer drawn over the image.
Docs updated with it: the trigger manual page (`persistence` is the trace, one image per signal, the
newest included), the README's persistence section, `invariants-trigger-and-pinning.md` (five rules,
the ceiling and the no-stroke rule among them), `verification.md` and `probe-readings.md` (the lines
above), the trigger panel's comment and tooltips, and the plotter submodule.
`cmake --build build --clean-first -j4`: **0 errors, the documented three warnings** (two
`MathNode::source`, one `-Woverlength-strings` at 12352); `make -C build test-ui` **13 ok**;
`make -C build test-help` **green** (15 pages); the self-check **0 `Gtk-WARNING`/`Gtk-CRITICAL`** and
`gtk warnings: 0`, two `buffer allocated:` lines.
The library's `full_scale` now defaults to the default fade's steady state and `gamma` to 1.0 (its
own commit); this side states the ceiling for the fade *it* configured, because that is what the
ceiling means: the ink the display settles at, so the newest acquisition is a fraction of full ink
and white is reached only where acquisitions agree.
- **acquisitions**: `1/(1 - factor)` -- the geometric sum, 2.0 at the panel's 0.5, and 1.0 at 0
(only the newest sweep, at full ink).
- **time**: the library's default of two sweeps. A time fade has no fixed steady state -- it
settles where the trigger's rate and the constant meet, which is the *point* of it -- so a fast
trigger reads brighter than a slow one the way a phosphor's does.
- `gamma` is left at the library's 1.0: a cell is a count of sweeps, so half as many must read as
half the ink. With the ceiling at one sweep and gamma at 0.45 (the library's first defaults) one
sweep was already full white and every display looked the same -- which is exactly what the user
reported seeing, and why the assertion for it is a framebuffer one in the library's case
(`empty=21 full=83 quarter=54`) rather than anything `ink`/`peak` can say.
The probe's own figures are unchanged in kind (they are the grid's): `on` `peak=1.0000`,
`step-acquisitions` `peak=1.5000`, `step-time` `ratio=0.367879`, `off` all zeros -- re-read on this
build, with the frame cost `tick 0.53 -> 7.49 ms`, `draw 1.89 -> 16.78 ms` and `gtk warnings: 0` in
the same run. The trigger/pinning invariants carry the ceiling rule and why the eye found it.
The trigger pane gains the display the user asked for and the library now provides, and the
persistence it already had is renamed to what it is.
**Persistence is one image; the last-N-traces display is "multiple events".** Both live in a new
`Advanced` expander in the trigger panel, together with the settings that are set up once and left
alone. `persistence` (a switch) turns on the plotter's `Plot::set_density()` for every row:
every triggered acquisition is accumulated into a screen-sized intensity grid drawn behind the
traces, brightness being how many acquisitions covered a cell -- no depth to choose, no memory
that grows with the acquisitions (2.2 MB over four 573x412 rows in the probe's run). `fades by`
picks the fade the user asked for: **acquisitions** (each keeps a factor of what was before it,
0.5 by default -- the phosphor afterglow) or **time** (a time constant in stream seconds, so the
display fades while you watch whatever the trigger rate).
- **Trigger mode only, as asked.** `apply_density()` (the tick) states the display on for `Held`
and `Capturing` and off for `Live`, `Waiting`, `Paused` and a file, and turning it off drops the
grid at once rather than at an acquisition a quiet trigger never sends. It is unpickable and
reserves no layout space, exactly as the invalid-span bands are: a density can never be in the
way of a cursor or a drop, and it cannot move the framing.
- **One deposit per acquisition, one frame after the frame that frames it.** `Plot::accumulate_density()`
deposits what the plot holds through the transforms of its *last* layout -- the frame's own is
computed inside the paint that follows the tick -- so `density_pending` is set beside
`record_pending` and consumed by the next tick. In the same tick it was right on a Held-to-Held
transition and wrong on the first latch, whose axis was still the live ring's. Switching the
display on under an acquisition already on screen deposits it too, so the switch does not appear
to do nothing until the next latch (`single` mode may never send one).
- **The session carries it**: `trigger_density`, `trigger_density_decay` ("acquisitions"/"time",
the words the panel shows), `trigger_density_tau` and `trigger_density_factor`, written whether
or not it is on -- and `trigger_persistence` still means the multiple-event depth, so an older
file is unchanged.
- **The library changed twice under this**: the deposit now counts a cell **once per trace per
sweep** (counting the hits put one dense sweep at the ceiling of the brightness scale and hid the
sweeps behind it -- the probe's `on` leg read `peak=18` for a single sweep and reads `peak=1`
now), and a frame's upload is every row's rather than the last row's. Both are in the plotter's
own commit.
`UDPSCOPE_PROBE_DENSITY_MS` reads it all back off the plots -- the plotter's own `ink()`/`peak()` --
with the panel's own widgets driving the switch and the fade, in four legs: **off** (`rows=0
ink=0.0 peak=0.0000`), **on** (`rows=4`, `peak=1.0000`), **step-acquisitions** (`peak=1.0000 ->
1.5000`, the factor then the new sweep) and **step-time** (`ratio=0.367879`, `1/e` for `dt = tau`).
It also reads the frame cost as an A/B **inside one run** (the accumulators at the switch against
the frames after it): `tick 0.74 -> 9.99 ms`, `draw 2.09 -> 20.91 ms` at four rows and 2.2 M cells
on llvmpipe.
Acceptance: clean build 0 errors and exactly the three documented warnings (12352-byte GResource
blob, two `MathNode::source`), `test-ui` 13/13, `test-help` green, a plain run with **0
Gtk-CRITICAL / Gtk-WARNING** and `gtk warnings: 0`, and the panel's own frame reading
`boxes=16 controls_inside=15/15 advanced_widgets=5/5 advanced_inside=5/5` (the block's controls
counted from the expander's child, which is not in the widget-parent chain -- and the search
block's walk now names *its* expander instead of "the first one", which the second expander would
have stolen).
Docs: the trigger/pinning invariants carry the rule and its five consequences, `probe-readings.md`
the four legs and the dump line, `verification.md` the probe's sequence and assertions, and the
manual's trigger page explains both displays to a user.
Two changes in the trigger pane, landed together.
**Persistence.** Trigger mode keeps the last N published acquisitions and draws them fading toward
the background, N being a panel control (1..8, default 1) with N=1 meaning today's behaviour
exactly, so the knob is the switch. The layers are the accumulate path's own -- one layer per
(signal, age) in the row's free trace slots, named with the accumulate vocabulary so
`layer_base_name()` strips the suffix and `signal_color()` resolves the base signal -- so a layer is
not a signal: the signal list, the colours and the measurements see one row per signal.
`ScopeModel` retains the outgoing snapshot in seven atomic `shared_ptr` slots (no lock, no copy; the
snapshot already exists) and a layer's channel is resolved **by name inside the snapshot**, because
the channel list is renumbered by any structural change since that acquisition was cut.
`RowSet::sync_layers()` re-plans from the rows and the depth alone, so a latch costs no rebuild, and
`event_data_window()` skips layer slots so an older acquisition can never re-pin the axis. The
schedule is 0.5^age -- the acquisition on screen at full brightness and each older one half the
previous, independent of N, so raising the depth adds dimmer acquisitions rather than rescaling the
ones already on screen. Memory is bounded by the ring's own `--buffer-mb` rather than by the depth,
which is the bound that cannot be driven into an OOM, and the panel says when either bound bites.
This also wired up `set_trace_alpha()`, which the accumulate path was setting and nothing was
reading -- so the documented 0.35 translucency of an accumulation was opaque in fact.
**Force.** In the trigger pane beside Arm/Disarm, shown only while trigger mode is on: one
acquisition now, with the configured window. It is a synthetic edge rather than a second publisher
-- the engine opens one capture at the present moment and everything else is the ordinary latch, so
a forced acquisition is cut, pinned, framed, recorded and cached exactly like a latched one, and
the button owns no window and no publish. The pre-trigger gate is deliberately skipped (capture now
is a request for the history that exists, and the snapshot reports its own shorter pre_s), a
capture already filling is refused rather than restarted, and the state afterwards is the mode's:
Normal stays armed, Single disarms. The request is one atomic flag written under the model mutex
with `armed` -- the producer reads `armed` at the top of a packet and the request at the bottom, so
a request written between the two would be dropped -- and consumed at the end of a packet, after
the channel loop and before the pending publish.
**A defect fixed in passing, in the function Force was modelled on:** `on_arm_clicked()` passed
`TriggerConfig::channel` (an index into `channels()`) to `set_signal_enabled()` (an index into
`signals()`). With one signal acquired, arming switched on the stream's clock signal and left the
watched signal untouched -- and since a signal the panel was not showing is a change, it rebuilt
the buffer under the click, dropping the very pre-trigger window the arming, and now the Force, was
about to capture. Measured before: `0.0100 s of history behind it`; after: `2.5299 s`.
`trigger_signal_index()` is now the one resolution, used by both buttons.
A pane is recomputed over the whole visible window on a cadence, and at a 15 s window
(11.8 M samples, 184 k level-0 level buckets, `--buffer-mb 4000` so the stride stays 1)
that is priced per *measured channel* and per *distinct share*. Measured with the new
`[levels-probe]` sweep, per recompute: one window with one level 6.58 ms, four shares
10.28 ms, sixteen shares 24.55 ms, and four measurements one share each over four
channels **35.69 ms** -- against a tick mean of 1.34 ms with an empty pane and 4.58 ms
with that one. That is the reported "very slow with multiple measurements": the pass
runs inside `tick()`, so it is a *frame* cost, and not an ingest one -- `gaps` and
`packets` stay clean even though each `MeasureWindowReader` holds the model mutex for
its whole life, because a socket buffer absorbs a few tens of milliseconds of producer.
The largest single term inside a pass was a call. `measure_accumulate_bucket()` folds
one bucket into one level, and it is the innermost loop of a walk whose iteration count
is the window's buckets *times* the pane's levels; it lived out of line in
`measure.cpp`, so every one of those iterations was a cross-translation-unit call.
Moving it, and the crossing state it updates, into `measure.hpp` as `inline` takes
sixteen shares on one channel from 24.55 to **17.25 ms** a recompute -- with every value
in the dump's `measurements:` unchanged. Two levers remain and both are measured: the
fetch's three out-of-line pyramid accessors plus a 48-byte copy per bucket (3.3 ms of an
11.8 M-sample window's 11.6 ms pass) needs a combined accessor upstream, and `raw` is
the *signal's* share (4.6 % on the mock's noisy channel against 0.1 % on its sine),
because a level inside a bucket's own `[lo, hi]` has to be walked sample by sample.
Bisected with the pane populated (the earlier bisect had it empty, which cannot see
this): the parent of the recent range and HEAD read **8.29** and **7.92 ms** a
recompute for the same four-type pane at the same window, and neither of the two
commits between them touches `ui_measure.cpp` or `measure.cpp` at all. So the cost is
the scale and not a regression, and the fix makes a pass cheaper rather than removing
one -- the plot's own per-frame cost was checked the same way (four commits, equal
within 3 %, and unchanged by the window, the ring size and the visible sample count).
`UDPSCOPE_PROBE_LEVELS_MS` with `UDPSCOPE_PROBE_LEVELS` and
`UDPSCOPE_PROBE_LEVELS_CHANNELS` is the sweep; `docs/claude/invariants-measurements.md`
records the curve and the inline rule, `verification.md` and `probe-readings.md` the
probe and what its numbers must read, and the README the pane's cost at this scale.
A measurement is a statistic of the window the pane is *about*, and on a
pinned view -- a held event, a paused stream, an opened file -- that is the
frame, not the part of it on screen. The pane followed the viewport
instead, so a wheel on a latched event moved `average` and `top`: the
reported "when measuring a still frame, moving the zoom makes measurements
such as average or top change". Nothing about the data had changed; the
user was only looking closer.
The window is `RowSet::pinned_range()` while the pin frames the view and
the viewport otherwise, and the choice is made in `update_measures()` --
the call site -- rather than inside `MeasureWindowReader`, because it is
*booked* as well as read: that window is what the "it moved" test compares
against `App::measure_window`, so a gesture inside the pin spends no
recompute either, and a reader that chose its own would leave a pinned
view recomputing every gesture frame for a number that cannot change.
`pinned_range()` is now the one expression of the pin's extent, shared
with the framing (`hold_pinned_window()`, `fit_x()`), and the reader is
handed the window instead of reading the plot. Live is unchanged: there
the window really moves and the statistic follows it, and the
accumulator's rule about what resets the history is about neither.
`UDPSCOPE_PROBE_MEASUREPIN_MS` is the guard, three legs of before/after a
gesture on the row's own axis. On a latched event zoomed to a quarter
(`view=[-1..1]` -> `[-0.25..0.25]`, `pin` unchanged): `same=4/4
for_same=1 pass_delta=0`, every value bit-identical -- `average=0.000000
top=0.957975 peak to peak=2.000000 amplitude=1.915950` both sides. The
same on a pause taken from it. Since the key `for=` follows `pin=` now,
`[measure-trace]` gained the field, so a held run reads `for==pin` with
`swin` free to sit inside it. On a live view a zoom to an eighth reads
`same=0/4 for_same=0 pass_delta=3 span_after=0.125000 follows=1` with the
values moving -- the case the rule must not swallow.
Before the fix the same probe reads `same=1/4 for_same=0 pass_delta=1
span_after=0.500000` on the held event (`top` `0.957975` -> `0.957966`)
and `same=0/4 span_after=0.125000` on the pause (`top` `0.957944` ->
`0.358614`). Live reads the same either way.
Also fixed, found by the pause leg: pausing while an event is *held*
froze an **empty** picture. `on_pause_toggled()` read `stream_at_x0()`
after setting the pause state, and that accessor follows the display --
`paused` with no pause view published yet answers `-display_epoch()`,
which on a held event is 0, so the cut searched the ring at edge-relative
x, found nothing, and the frame bound an empty snapshot: every
measurement `--`, every ruler gone (`ev=650001` on the probe's line now,
`ev=0` before). The offset and the window are read first, which is the
offset the axis is actually displaying. The live case is unaffected, which
is why the pause probe, which pauses a live view, never saw it.
Docs corrected where they asserted the old half-truth: the invariants now
separate the accumulator's rule (unchanged) from the window a value is
computed over (this change), the trigger/pinning file names the pin as
load-bearing for both the framing and the numbers and records the pause
ordering rule, `verification.md`/`probe-readings.md` describe the new
probe and `pin=`, and the README and the manual say what a still frame
measures.
Checked: `cmake --build build --clean-first -j4` 0 errors and the
documented three warnings; `make -C build test-ui` 13 ok; `make -C build
test-help` green; an exit-dump run 0 Gtk-WARNING/Gtk-CRITICAL and `gtk
warnings: 0`; `[measurepin-probe]`, `[pan-probe]` (`held=1`,
`allowed=1`, `limited=1`), `[pause-probe]` (`event_size` non-zero exactly
while paused, `axis` inside `frozen_x`, `skips` 0 live / 30 paused),
`[stats-probe]` (`dn=1` across the pause), `[zoom-probe]` (`gap_px=0.0`
at every step) and `[measure-probe]` + the dump's `measures
window:` (all-types run `marks_in_window=4/4`, `pin=off` live) on the fast
mock. `measure cost:` is unchanged in kind: `raw=37298 (0.0%)` of
`covered=121704537`, 1.04 ms a pass -- the runs that read higher are the
probe's own zoomed-to-a-slice windows, where the window is legitimately
shorter than a bucket.
