Graduate the shell out of spikes/ into apps/lumbridge
The product was spikes/gpui-shell: a cargo workspace of its own, named in the root manifest's exclude list. It inherited neither unsafe_code = "forbid" nor clippy pedantic, and ./scripts/ci.sh never compiled it. Every test written into it silently never ran, and apps/lumbridge was an eleven-line stub printing a version string. Four separate research passes over the sidebar, settings, devices, and theme work independently discovered they were about to write substantial new code into that directory. Graduating first means writing it once. - apps/lumbridge is the product; spikes/ui-shell-model becomes crates/lumbridge-ui-fixture and joins the workspace. - scripts/ci.sh takes --headless and --ui. The headless pass excludes the two UI crates by name, so a contributor changing lumbridge-core does not wait on a window toolkit, and a runner that cannot carry GPUI still gates everything else. A new crate is headless by default rather than silently joining the slow job. - scripts/native-libs.sh replaces the ad-hoc symlink in the launcher, and says which apt package actually fixes the problem instead of working around it silently. The stale libxcb/libxkbcommon symlinks in the old spike target directory are gone; only libxkbcommon-x11.so was ever needed. - deny.toml and cargo deny check licenses. spikes/README.md called GPUI's licence closure a hard gate and the scorecard scored it pending; graduation makes it the product's closure, so it is enforced rather than described. Two rejections were reviewed and allowed with the reasoning recorded in the file: webpki-roots under CDLA-Permissive-2.0 (Mozilla's CA store, data not code, reached through ureq) and libfuzzer-sys under NCSA (reached only under all-features via gpui's image decoder; no shipped build links it). Clippy pedantic across both crates is clean at -D warnings. render was 353 lines; render_sidebar, render_tabs, and render_root come out of it, which the sidebar rework needed anyway. The remaining over-length functions are single declarative element trees and carry per-function allows with reasons, not a blanket suppression. Decision 0017 records the two calls this forces: published gpui 0.2.2 behind an accessibility adapter rather than an unpinned Zed revision and an MSRV bump, and Floem frozen rather than maintained in parity or deleted.

# 0017: The product graduates on published GPUI, behind an accessibility adapter, and Floem is frozen
|
||||
|
||||
Status: accepted. Supersedes the provisional direction in `UI_SPIKE_SCORECARD.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
Until now the product was `spikes/gpui-shell`: a cargo workspace of its own,
|
||||
listed in the root manifest's `exclude`, so it inherited neither
|
||||
`unsafe_code = "forbid"` nor `clippy pedantic`, and `./scripts/ci.sh` never
|
||||
compiled it. Every test written into it silently never ran. That is the reason
|
||||
this record exists before any feature work: the sidebar, settings, and devices
|
||||
pages are all substantial new code, and writing them into an unlinted directory
|
||||
would mean writing them twice.
|
||||
|
||||
## The GPUI dependency
|
||||
|
||||
The product ships on published `gpui 0.2.2` from crates.io, not on a Zed git
|
||||
revision.
|
||||
|
||||
The scorecard's provisional direction was "GPUI-first using current Zed GPUI
|
||||
behind a narrow Lumbridge UI adapter", and that is being inverted here, so the
|
||||
cost is stated plainly: **published 0.2.2 has no AccessKit dependency.** There
|
||||
is no `Role`, no `aria_label`. Every pane and every sidebar row ships
|
||||
screen-reader-silent, and `UX_VERTICAL_SLICE.md`'s hard gate — "the
|
||||
accessibility tree names each pane, selected state, execution target, and
|
||||
waiting state" — is knowingly unmet.
|
||||
|
||||
It is chosen anyway because a git dependency on an unpinned upstream, plus an
|
||||
MSRV move from 1.94 to 1.97.1 across every crate in the workspace, is a large
|
||||
standing cost to carry for a capability we can stage.
|
||||
|
||||
The mitigation is a narrow `a11y` adapter trait, introduced now while there are
|
||||
few call sites: it no-ops on 0.2.2 and calls real roles and labels on a git
|
||||
revision. The migration is then a swap rather than a rewrite.
|
||||
`spikes/gpui-accessibility-probe` (Zed revision `ce48461e`, toolchain 1.97.1) is
|
||||
retained, not deleted, as the standing proof that the semantics compile with
|
||||
stable IDs and roles. Reversing this decision means changing one dependency line
|
||||
and one adapter implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
The scorecard's `pending` row for GPUI's dependency-license closure stops being
|
||||
a spike question the moment 746 lockfile packages enter the root workspace: it
|
||||
becomes the product's license closure. `deny.toml` and `cargo deny check
|
||||
licenses` land in the same change, and the result is pasted into that row.
|
||||
|
||||
## Floem
|
||||
|
||||
`spikes/floem-shell` is **frozen**. It is no longer described as a comparable
|
||||
candidate, and `ARCHITECTURE.md`'s "UI decision gate" and `TESTING.md`'s
|
||||
"identical GPUI/Floem action replay" line are corrected to match.
|
||||
|
||||
Comparability was already gone and already conceded — the scorecard records that
|
||||
"the Floem shell still renders the static footer fixtures, so the two candidates
|
||||
are no longer comparable on that strip", which the usage ledger work caused. It
|
||||
also records Floem failing the accessibility gate outright, with no AccessKit at
|
||||
its pinned revision. Keeping true parity would mean theming it alongside every
|
||||
visual change forever, which is a recurring cost for a candidate that has
|
||||
already lost on a hard gate.
|
||||
|
||||
Freezing rather than deleting keeps the evidence trail: if the GPUI bet ever
|
||||
needs revisiting, the comparison exists at the revision where it was made. What
|
||||
freezing does not license is leaving falsehoods on screen — its fabricated
|
||||
footer quota and its fixture worktree list naming a developer's machines were
|
||||
deleted in the same pass as the GPUI shell's.
|
||||
|
||||
## The default theme and accent
|
||||
|
||||
The UI accent stays cool blue. `BRAND.md` scopes Ember (`#FF6B35`) to the
|
||||
application icon and warns against low-contrast orange behind the mark;
|
||||
`UX_VERTICAL_SLICE.md` commits the UI to one cool-blue action accent. Ember is
|
||||
offered as a user-selectable accent rather than made the default, so neither
|
||||
document needs amending.
