Regression I introduced two commits ago, reported live: "I can click close
where the button would normally be and it does close, but it is still
invisible."
The gate that stops an empty frame being drawn before a client paints asked
the renderer, from inside the render loop, whether a window's surface had a
buffer attached right now - and treated "no" as "do not draw". That
question is only meaningful for a native xdg-shell toplevel. An XWayland
window's surface state does not describe it the same way, so the answer came
back no on every frame and the window was never drawn again, while srdwm's
own hit-testing carried on working perfectly: an invisible window that still
takes clicks, which is a worse failure than the empty frame it was meant to
prevent.
Inverted to the fail-safe direction. `new_managed_window` - the one path
that creates a native toplevel - puts the window into
`awaiting_first_buffer`, and `commit` takes it out on the first commit that
carries a buffer. The render and capture paths test that set and nothing
else. A window is now hidden only when srdwm itself put it there, so no
window whose plumbing works differently can be hidden by a lookup that did
not apply to it: the XWayland map path never touches the set, and neither
can anything else.
The buffer question still gets asked, but only in `commit`, about a surface
it was just handed, where it is the right question.
Verified both halves: an ordinary spawn still shows no frame before content
(26 captured frames with content, 0 without), and the only way into the set
is one line in one function.

Reported as "before a window spawns, the border corners look funny".
A toplevel is placed, sized and decorated the moment its role is created,
which is well before the client draws. srdwm was rendering it from that
moment, so what appeared first was an empty frame: border, titlebar and
shadow standing around bare desktop, at the guessed 800x600 placeholder
size, with nothing inside. When the real buffer arrived the frame snapped
to the real size.
Measured in a nested session, capturing a cold terminal's spawn with grim:
four consecutive captured frames spanning 540ms showed a complete red
border with zero client content inside it, at 642px outer height, which
then settled at 610 - a jump of exactly one TITLEBAR_HEIGHT. After this
change the same capture has no such frame at all: every frame that shows a
border shows content in it, and the height does not change afterward.
Two parts:
- Nothing is drawn for a window that has never committed a buffer. All
five paths that draw a frame agree on this - both udev render loops
(Pixman and GPU), the winit render loop, and both screencopy paths, so a
screenshot cannot show a frame the screen does not.
- The open-slide starts at the first commit that carries a buffer rather
than at role creation. A cold terminal took ~800ms to paint, long enough
for the whole tween to finish against the empty frame, so the window
simply appeared, already at rest, with no animation at all. It now
animates where it can actually be seen.
The answer latches once true (windows_shown_once), so a window that has
legitimately shown something is never hidden again by this however its
buffer state changes. A window that cannot be resolved to a surface counts
as drawable, deliberately: this hides a window only on positive evidence
that it has never drawn, so nothing whose surface plumbing works
differently - an XWayland window - can be hidden by a lookup that did
not apply to it.
Same shape, and the same reason, as sync_layer_visibility's own has_buffer
branch, which layer surfaces have had all along.
533 tests pass, clippy clean.

The maximize border was still drawn because the earlier fix landed on the
wrong branch. udev/render.rs has three border blocks: the SRDWM_GPU=1 path
at the top and two Pixman ones below. The patch replaced the first match in
the file, which is the GPU branch a real DRM session never runs. All four
sites across both backends are now gated on !maximized.
The verification had failed twice for a separate reason: winit/capture.rs
did not draw border strips at all, so a screenshot could never answer "is
there a border here" and the control passed for the wrong reason. Border
strips are now drawn into that pass as solid fills - corner rounding is not
reproduced, so a capture is not pixel-exact at the corners, but presence,
position, thickness and colour are. With that closed the test has a real
control: unmaximized gives 6 accent pixels at x=800..805, exactly the
configured border_width, and maximized gives none at the right edge or along
the top row. That proves the winit path; the Pixman path is the same change
at two more sites and is not separately confirmed on screen.
Windows spawning as squares, partly off-screen, and always on the left were
all SmartPlacement::grid. It returned size.min(cell), shrinking every window
to its grid cell whatever size it asked for; it scanned cells in reading
order and took the first free one, which is the leftmost; and nothing clamped
the result, so a window larger than its cell could hang off the edge with its
border out of view. The cell now decides only where a window goes, the scan
starts from a rotating cell, and both grid and cascade clamp into the usable
area. Four tests, one per reported symptom.
525 tests pass, clippy clean.

Earlier today I wrote that a nested compositor cannot produce a second
monitor because split and fake monitors "need real head machinery that only
the DRM backend has". That was inferred from both commands returning ok and
changing nothing, not read from the code, and the first half is false.
udev/platform.rs was simply the only backend draining those request queues.
The winit poll never took them off, so the request sat there forever and the
dispatch looked like it had worked. Nothing about split is DRM-bound:
MonitorSplit is bookkeeping in WindowManager and split_rect is pure geometry
in core. The winit poll now drains split requests the same way, and its
monitors() expands a split into one Monitor per part with its own
full_geometry and maximize_geometry, matching the udev expansion. Splitting
the nested output into two 640x800 monitors with a seam now works, which is
what a multi-monitor repro needs. Fake monitors stay udev-only; that half was
not re-checked and is not claimed either way.
Also corrected: the capture pass measured the shadow rect from w.geometry
while both on-screen loops measure it from effective_frame, the client's real
committed size. src indexes into a buffer rasterised at the frame's size, so
the two disagreeing reads the wrong region whenever a client settles on a
different size than it was asked for.
The seam check this was meant to unblock is still not done. With the split
working, the negative control failed: a floating window off the seam had no
shadow either. Running both clients in one instance showed Alacritty renders
a shadow in a capture and Nemo renders none, same settings, both floating,
either focus. Nemo is server-side decorated and Alacritty is not, which is a
lead and not a conclusion. Recorded in docs/TODO.md as open rather than
guessed at.
515 tests pass, clippy clean.

The punch list was not the whole record. These are the owner's own typed
requests, read back out of the previous session's transcript rather than
guessed at, then each checked against the code before being treated as open.
Three they suspected were already done really were: dialogs already had a
Close-only titlebar, inactive dimming already existed, and the corner resize
hitbox had already been tuned.
Snap layouts on drag, asked for twice. Edge snapping worked but committed
silently on release with nothing shown first, so there was no way to know it
would happen or where. A translucent drop-target preview now follows the
drag, and throwing the pointer at a monitor's top edge drops down the
existing six-cell grid to aim at. The preview calls the same snap_zone that
end_drag does, so the two cannot disagree. Two defects found by screenshot
before landing: moving down onto the flyout closed it, and its labels
overflowed at a fixed cell width - the same "text goes out of view" fault
already fixed once for the context menu.
New File now offers real types, chosen by extension, with the de-duplication
counter placed before the extension so the file stays what it says it is.
Refresh re-reads init.lua and fires a new srd.on("refresh") handler instead
of only re-scanning the icon grid. What refresh means beyond srdwm's own
config stays the config's decision.
general.config_reload_on_write (default on) applies an edited config on save,
via an mtime sweep rather than an inotify watch: no new dependency, same
behaviour on every target, and unaffected by editors that write through a
temp file.
A real bug behind "what happens when our config fails": you lost every
keybinding. do_reload cleared the binding, handler and repeat tables before
re-executing and never restored them, so a syntax error left neither the old
config nor the new one, and the only key still working was the reload combo
nobody thinks to press. The tables are now restored on any failure and
config errors reach notify-send, not just the log.
srd.lock() and a default Mod4+Ctrl+l binding: the built-in lock screen could
not be reached from Lua at all. Native rather than shelling out, because a
lock key that shells out fails silently when the binary is not on PATH.
Default bindings added for srd.window.move and a dynamic/tiling toggle, both
of which existed with no way to reach them, plus srd.layout.get() so the
toggle reads the live workspace rather than the configured default.
Dialogs open centred, and are excluded from remembered geometry in both
directions - that table is keyed by app_id, which a dialog shares with the
window that spawned it, so dialogs inherited an unrelated position and size
and then overwrote it with their own.
theme.decorations.title_bar.button_mode (dynamic by default, or fixed) drops
the Maximize button on a window whose client pinned min == max size, where
pressing it can do nothing. Maximize is removed from the slot list rather
than skipped in place on both the render and hit-test sides, so the remaining
buttons close the gap identically; three tests pin that agreement, which is
what fails silently when it drifts.
Also: the nested backend's screencopy pass now draws both menus, the flyout
and the drag preview. Four investigations in one day started from a
screenshot missing a tier, so that pass carries an explicit list of what it
still omits and the on-screen loop points at it.
512 tests pass, clippy clean.

across a monitor seam
Nemo's right-click context menu was the last open punch-list item, parked
twice as untestable. It works: verified end to end in a throwaway nested
compositor, menu and submenu both, at the correct position and stacking.
The popup path itself needed no fix, so the POPUP-GEOM-DIAG/POPUP-GRAB-DIAG
diagnostics are removed.
Two real bugs turned up in the way of testing it.
zwlr_virtual_pointer was a silent no-op on the winit backend. Every
Motion/MotionAbsolute handler read UdevState::bounds() behind an early
return when state.udev was None, and that field is Some only for the DRM
backend. The protocol advertised its global, accepted create_virtual_pointer
and accepted every request, then discarded all motion with no error and no
log. That is the backend a nested instance runs on, so the only safe way to
drive a throwaway compositor - a Wayland client of that compositor, which
cannot reach any other session, unlike ydotool's /dev/uinput writes - did
not work at all. Bounds now come from WindowManager::monitors() when udev is
absent; both backends fill that list from Platform::monitors().
The winit backend's screencopy pass rendered no popups and no shadows. It
re-renders the scene offscreen, and that second scene was missing tiers, so
grim on a nested instance reported the opposite of the truth: a menu drawing
perfectly on screen photographed as absent. The DRM backend never had this,
since it serves screencopy from the on-screen frame it just drew. Border
strips are still missing from that pass, called out in the code rather than
left silent.
Also fixed, from the "windows show a bit in the other monitor" report:
shadow_rect expanded by SHADOW_SIZE on every side with no monitor-boundary
awareness, so a window flush against a seam put its 24px shadow strip on the
neighbouring screen. shadow_rect_clipped clips to the bounding box of the
monitors the window's geometry actually touches - not just its assigned
one, since a window straddling a seam really does occupy both and clipping
there would cut its shadow off mid-body. The bitmap's own extent stays
unclipped, because the src rectangle indexes into it; only the fragment list
is clipped. Six tests on the incident's own numbers. Not confirmed on
screen: the nested backend cannot produce a second monitor.
New tool: tools/virtual-pointer-click, a scriptable virtual-pointer driver
that acknowledges each command after its round-trip, so a test script can
put a screenshot between a move and the click that follows it.
489 tests pass, clippy clean.

Safety commit before reconciling this worktree with main, which has
diverged with its own separate fixes today. Nothing here is reviewed
or curated yet - this exists purely so none of this work can be lost
to a git operation, disk issue, or worktree cleanup while that
reconciliation happens.

Pure reorganization, no behavior change - verified by diffing the
function-name and struct-name sets before/after (both identical) plus
a full cargo test pass. mod.rs keeps the module doc comment, imports,
WaylandPlatform's struct definition, and TARGET_FRAME_TIME, plus mod
declarations. The rest splits by concern:
- connect.rs: connect(), the ~200-line setup/init function.
- run.rs: accept_clients, pump_winit - the small per-poll pair.
- render.rs: render_frame, the per-frame render loop (left as one
intact ~330-line function, same reasoning as udev's render.rs: its
structure is deliberate and already documented inline, not a target
for further decomposition in a pure reorganization pass).
- capture.rs: capture_offscreen, the screencopy path.
- events.rs: handle_winit_event.
- platform.rs: `impl Platform for WaylandPlatform`.
No tests module existed in the original file, so none was split out.
A handful of methods/functions (accept_clients, pump_winit,
render_frame, capture_offscreen, handle_winit_event) went from private
to pub(super): called across what are now sibling submodules, which
Rust's privacy model doesn't let see each other's private items.
