Task 1's review found two user-facing files that no task owned: src/ui/shortcuts.ui
still describes four accelerators as showing and hiding panes, and
src/help/01-overview.txt still lists the five-revealer column. Both were made false
by the tabbed sidebar and neither is caught by a probe, so give them an owner.
The spec claimed the math pane and the signal list were two lists of the same
channels; they are one. `append_math_signals_locked()` already puts every math
channel into `signals()` and nothing filters `sig.math`, so the merge is mostly
a deletion -- the list gains a `MATH` divider and a second menu, and the pane
goes. §2, §3 and §6 say so now.
The plan is seven tasks, each ending in a build, `make test-ui` and one short
headless probe read.

Five revealers in one column leave every section short of room once the
trigger, cursors, measurements and math panes are open. The design splits
the column into two tabs, folds the math list into the signal list -- the
two were the same list drawn twice -- and makes a feature's toggle disable
its pane rather than hide it, because a tab cannot carry an on/off.

The design spec is approved; this turns it into the task-by-task plan an
implementer with no context can follow, with the four places the plan
deliberately departs from the spec collected and argued at the end.

EM interference is impulsive, so each place gets an amplitude qualifier and a
frequency one, both optional and both defaulting to today's behaviour: the
documented reading set has to come out unchanged. Records why the trigger's
zero-band path stays bit-for-bit, why a measurement filter gives up the bucket
fast paths, and why the new op is appended rather than placed beside the filters.

todo.md's item 10 is closed with what moved, what stayed in code and why, the reading each
slice added, and the three GTK facts in invariants-gtk-and-chrome.md. The plan's table is
marked complete, with the note that the header bar went last and in one change -- pack_start
appends after whatever a file packed, so staging it by group would have reordered the bar in
an intermediate commit.
Two facts added to the invariants: a code-added header-bar child lands after the file's, so
going first means the file declares a slot (which is what header-bar.ui does for the
time-window control); and <child type="end"> is added leftwards-from-the-right, so a header
bar's end group reads the reverse of the file.
The row asked for these buttons in a .ui file and that is not possible: there is one per
row and one more than that per boundary, and a GtkBuilder instantiates a file's objects
once, so the file can hold neither the count nor a prototype for the code to copy. The
plan's note ("only the buttons are template") is wrong for the same reason, and the plan
document now says so.
What was real in the row was the duplication: the look was written out three times -- the
icon, the two CSS classes that make a small round on-screen-display control, the size,
the overlay append and the bookkeeping -- and is now one function,
`layout_overlay_button()`. Each loop keeps only what makes it different: its alignment,
its sensitivity, the data it carries and, for the resize handle, its drag gesture.
The layout probe is the check and its readings are byte-identical before and after, all
seven lines: `buttons=5 done=1 done_box=[680,4,72x42] close=[4] add=[0,832] resize=[(1:-)]`
and the row geometry through add-above, remove, add-at-end and Editor off.
The second half of this plan row, and the half of that dialog which is template.
src/ui/math-editor.ui holds the window (its size and modality), the box around it,
the identity row -- the name and the unit -- and the body with the canvas in it.
What stays in code is the drawing: the canvas is a GtkDrawingArea the file *declares*
and the code draws, with the gestures that make it a graph editor, and the parameter
form follows which node is selected. The palette and the buttons go next.
The builder is held on `App` and cleared on the *next* opening rather than with the
window: the window belongs to the builder's object list, so freeing the builder under a
live window frees the window with it. That is the source form's pattern, and the probe's
close-then-reopen path is what exercises it -- `reopened: dialog=ok, nodes=2`.
The identity row is read back too, since a `.ui` can hold the widget but not the value:
`dialog build: ... name='math3' unit='' ...`, the entries having been filled from the
channel being edited. check_ui is at 12 ok, 0 failed.
The sidebar's width was a GtkPaned divider position: `window - 940` in pixels. On any window
narrower than 940 px the divider landed past the right edge and the sidebar came up 0 px wide,
reachable only by dragging the divider back.
Every attempt that kept the paned failed for that reason -- deriving the position from the paned's
own width, re-parenting the column, property-form children, code-set size requests. The mechanism was
the fault, so it is gone: the row is an AdwOverlaySplitView, which is what a utility sidebar is in
GNOME, with min-sidebar-width = max-sidebar-width = 320 in pixels. Its width is therefore its own at
any window size, and when there is no room beside the plot it *overlays* the plot (collapsed, set from
the window's width in tick()) instead of being squeezed to nothing.
Two things found on the way, both recorded in the invariants:
- sidebar-width-fraction is a 0..1 fraction of the window whatever sidebar-width-unit says. Setting a
pixel count there is a GObject critical and it falls back to 0.25, which is why the sidebar first
read 560. The width is pinned with min/max instead.
- the window opened at its content minimum (756 px, the plot column plus the sidebar) because the
explicit gtk_window_set_default_size() was dropped when the window moved into the .ui. Restored.
[sidebar-probe] reads both states and is the guard: window=756 sidebar=320 under a 2x scale, which is
the case that used to read 0.
src/ui/cursors-panel.ui holds the panel's shape -- the header with the mode dropdown and the reset
button, and the grid the two cursor times are read in. What is not in it is the grid's contents,
which follow the cursor mode and the rows and are rebuilt whenever either changes.
Panels need a builder that outlives them, unlike the dialogs, which are rebuilt on every opening: a
widget belongs to the builder that built it, so App::ui_builders holds each panel's for the life of
the window. ui_load() is that, in ui_widgets.cpp.
make test-ui also checks that udpscope-ui.gresource.xml lists every .ui file now. That was the third
trap of this refactor -- a file on disk but not in the resource is a Gtk-ERROR at load, which aborts
-- and it is a compile-time mistake that nothing else in the build could see. Verified by unlisting
the new file and watching the check fail, then restoring it.
[cursors-probe] reads as it did: all four modes, pane=1, the timings and the drag cases.
src/ui/main-window.ui holds the window, its two panes, the plot column with the status line under it,
and the sidebar's scroller. What stays in code is what depends on the stream: the events pane, the two
plot areas, the sidebar's panels and the status popover, each put into a slot by id.
The header bar is deliberately not in the file. It is the window's own titlebar, every button on it is
wired to an action, and an AdwApplicationWindow refuses a titlebar outright -- a fatal Adwaita-ERROR
rather than a warning that leaves the window merely ugly -- so the window is a GtkApplicationWindow and
the header bar stays where it was.
gtk_paned_set_position() is the other thing that had to stay in code, and the reason is order rather
than shape: it clamps against its children *now*, so stating it before the sidebar's panels exist moved
the plot column by ~180 px.
The layout, events and box-zoom probes read what they read before this change, and the header reads
window_button_w=130 bar_w=756 as it always has -- checked by building the previous commit and running
the same probe against it, because the layout numbers in the notes turned out to be stale from an
earlier session. Five UI files now.
src/ui/source-form.ui is the form a source is added or edited with: an AdwDialog of
AdwPreferencesGroup rows (AdwEntryRow, AdwSpinRow, AdwSwitchRow) with its action in the header bar,
where the label says which mode the form is in -- Connect for a new host, Save for an existing
configuration. The grid of labels and bare entries it replaces had its hints in placeholders, which
vanish as soon as there is a value; they are the groups' descriptions now.
src/ui/help.ui is the help window's chrome: an AdwWindow with a header bar and an
AdwNavigationSplitView whose sidebar is the page list. The rows stay in C++ because the fourteen
pages are data, not template.
Four UI files now, 653 lines of template that used to be widget construction. Two libadwaita traps
cost a run each and are in docs/claude/invariants-gtk-and-chrome.md: an AdwDialog has no content
property (its child is a plain <child>, unlike an AdwToolbarView), and AdwEntryRow has no subtitle
(it is an AdwPreferencesRow, not an AdwActionRow). The unused form_field() helper went with them.
Every probe reading is unchanged -- [sources] form:, [sources] edit form:, [help] -- which is what
refactoring a shape rather than a behaviour should look like.
src/ui/preferences.ui is an AdwPreferencesDialog whose rows are libadwaita's own -- AdwEntryRow,
AdwSpinRow, AdwSwitchRow, AdwComboRow, AdwButtonRow -- instead of a label and a bare GtkEntry in a
GtkBox. There is no Apply button: a row applies as it changes, which is what those widgets are
designed around, and [prefs-probe] reads the settings file back after every change.
The folder chooser is cancellable now, so a picker still open when the dialog closes cannot write
into a row that is gone; the cancellable is also how the probe takes the cancel path without a
mouse.
Two traps cost a run each and are recorded in docs/claude/invariants-gtk-and-chrome.md: an
AdwDialog is not a GtkWindow (it cannot parent a GtkFileDialog, and in floating mode it adds a
native surface to gtk_window_get_toplevels() that is neither a widget nor a window), and a .ui
that is not listed in the GResource is a Gtk-ERROR at runtime rather than a build failure -- which
is exactly what the probe opening every window is for.
GTK4 and libadwaita. It receives one UDP stream through the vendored
udpsclient, buffers it in a large ring, and draws it with the vendored
plotter: a trigger with a pre/post event window, a pause that freezes the
window, cursors, measurements, math channels in a node editor, an event cache,
named configurations, preferences, and an export of the visible window to
.npy/.csv. Waveform files can be opened and analysed in place.
The interface is two threads -- a producer that owns the socket and the GTK
main thread that owns every widget and the GL context -- sharing one model
under one mutex, with samples crossing through lock-free rings.
deps/plotter is a submodule pinned to the commit this tree builds against;
deps/udpsclient is vendored in place. docs/claude/ documents the rules that
cost a defect to learn, and SPECS.md is the requirement document.
Two complaints, not one: the glitch is a row dropped before any style
knob is consulted, and the thinness is a choice udpscope made and never
revisited -- it asks deps/plotter for a trace thinner than the library's
own default.

Twelve tasks in five phases, so relative timing ships before any of
the client-side reordering work lands.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The two were asked for together and are one design: the packet counter is what
makes a hole addressable, so relative timing is the coordinate system in which
resequencing is arithmetic rather than inference.

Nine tasks with literal code: the mock's injected faults, the shared
EventDetector the trigger and the search both run, the four condition
shapes and their panel rows, the Welford statistics and what resets
them, the chunked buffer search, its marks, and the documentation.
Every probe's expected reading is written as a shape with the measured
figure left to be recorded from a run, never assumed.

format_measure_value() does not exist; the shared SI-prefix formatter is

The spec described the new condition fields as appended session keys. LayoutState
carries no trigger field at all -- the trigger is built from --holdoff and the
panel's defaults on every launch -- so there was nothing to append to. Persisting it
is a separate feature nobody asked for, and a session that silently restored an armed
pulse-width condition would surprise rather than help. The statistics toggle stays as
the one session key this design adds.

The spec claimed a window condition with equal levels degrades to an edge trigger on
that level. It does not: the band test is a change of side, so equal levels make the
signal "inside" only on exact float equality and the condition silently never fires.
Special-casing the detector into an edge trigger would conflate two state machines
that answer different questions -- the divergence the shared evaluator exists to
prevent. The panel refuses the degenerate band instead.

Qualified trigger conditions (pulse width with glitch as a comparison, window,
dropout), per-measurement statistics with a reset, and a search over the retained
ring. The first and third are the same question asked of live and of recorded data,
so they share one allocation-free EventDetector extracted out of TriggerEngine --
and the probe that proves the two paths agree on t0 is part of the scope.
Reference waveforms, PNG export, FFT and a byte-bounded event history are out, each
for a stated reason.

Nine tasks, each ending in a commit: the silent disarm in the port hit test,
the view transform, the drag-based wiring, wire deletion, the topological
re-sort that makes a backwards wire legal, the live validation line, the op
picker, tidy, and the docs with the full verification run.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The reported "cannot add edges" has a specific cause: the output port's hit
radius reaches past the box it belongs to, and the press handler re-derives the
owning node with a box test, so clicking the visible dot's outer half sets
pending_out to -1 and silently disarms. Edge deletion has no code path at all.
The design replaces the two-click protocol with a drag gesture, makes the list
order the editor's own invariant via a topological re-sort rather than a rule the
user must obey, adds a view transform with every hit test routed through its
inverse, and trades the modal alert on Apply for a live validation line. It also
records that the Cancel button still calls gtk_window_destroy -- the dangling
dialog pointer CLAUDE.md documents as fixed was only fixed on the Apply path.

Two code-review findings:
1. Add a guard in cmake/install_desktop_entry.cmake that fails visibly when both
XDG_DATA_HOME and HOME are unset or empty, preventing silent installation to
the filesystem root in minimal CI sandboxes.
2. Replace the plan's tail-based verification with grep, because cmake's
FATAL_ERROR message and ninja's "build stopped" lines push the actual
rejection message out of the last four lines. The grep command reliably finds
the expected "desktop-file-validate rejected" string.

Five tasks, each ending in a commit: the two SVGs with build-time xmllint
validation, the window icon plus the registration move and the app icons:
assertion, the AdwAboutDialog migration, the opt-in desktop-entry target, and
the documentation with the full regression run.
Written assertion-first, since the project has no unit suite: each task's first
step adds the probe or dump line and watches it read MISSING. Both negative
tests are real -- one breaks an SVG comment and requires the build to fail, the
other breaks Type= and requires the target to FATAL_ERROR.
The spec asserted that a paintable's intrinsic size reads 0x0 for an SVG
librsvg refuses. It does not: gtk_icon_theme_lookup_icon() never returns NULL
and always reports the requested size, and a valid icon, a malformed one and an
absent name all snapshot to the same texture node. GMarkup accepts the double
hyphen, and gdk-pixbuf goes through glycin here and refuses our own icons.
So the malformed file is caught by preprocess="xml-stripblanks", which runs
xmllint during glib-compile-resources and fails the build with file, line and
column. The runtime line keeps its format but asserts only what it can: the
name resolves, the resource is present, and the root element declares the size.

Records the decisions taken before design — the application ID stays
org.udpscope.app, the icon is the instrument face, and the desktop entry is an
opt-in CMake target rather than an install() rule — along with the HIG
constraints the artwork is built to and the two silent failures the new
verification line has to tell apart.

Eleven tasks over the approved spec: build info and About, the plotter's
ctrl/alt axis-restricted zoom, 14 help pages, the accelerator table and
overview window, the app key controller, and the two-tier status bar.

Four features the user asked for together: an About dialog (version, build
timestamp, settings path), a shortcut overview covering the keyboard and the
mouse, a fourteen-page help window, and a status bar split into a short glance
line plus a details popover so the plot's own row stops being crowded.
Records one deviation from the approved design: keyboard zoom-x/zoom-y use
ctrl/alt rather than shift, because `+` *is* shift+`=` on the common layouts and
a bare zoom-in therefore already arrives with Shift set.

Seven tasks, each ending in a probe assertion rather than a unit test -- this
project's regression net is the headless probes, not a suite. The spec's
multicast round trip is split across three tasks so nothing in the plan needs a
group this machine can join.
Launched with no --server, udpscope silently connects to 127.0.0.1:8000 and
offers no way to pick a source or see which ones it already knows. The design
is a pre-flight dialog: it runs before ScopeModel exists, so a cancel costs no
buffer and no socket and the existing pipeline is untouched.
The list is built from the stored session files, filtered to those naming at
least one signal -- a development machine accumulates one file per probe run on
a throwaway port, 140 of them here -- and the session format gains multicast and
interface keys so a row can reconnect exactly.
