main.rs held eleven `const … : u32` colours, and spikes/floem-shell held a byte-identical copy of the same eleven. Every one was a judgement call made once, and no user could change any of them without recompiling. lumbridge-theme takes a syntax theme's five anchors — background, foreground, comment, and the git added/deleted/modified colours where the theme has them — and derives the whole role set. The frame is the editor background pushed one logarithmic contrast step away from the content, so the work surface is the brightest thing on screen; a theme already at black lifts its surface instead of sinking its frame, which is why a pitch-black theme still shows a seam. Adapted from Buzz's adaptive-theme.ts (block/buzz, Apache-2.0) as a specification, not as copied code. The golden vectors were taken by running the original under Node — a research pass had supplied Python-derived vectors and claimed they reproduced it byte-exactly, and they did not: Python rounds half-to-even, JavaScript rounds half-up, they disagree on exactly one channel value of 22.5, and that decides whether the luminance bisection converges a step early. github-dark's chrome is #171a1d, not #191c20. Provenance colours are separate roles from state colours, with a test holding them pairwise distinct in every theme, because decision 0012 colours a usage reading by where its number came from and never by how alarming it is. This changed no pixels, and that was verified rather than asserted: the only difference between before-and-after screenshots is the digits of a process ID. The check earned its keep — the mechanical rename had rewritten three user-facing strings, turning the sidebar's "ATTENTION · 0" into "theme.attention · 0" and "+ ADD PANEL" into "+ ADD theme.surface". A literal-by-literal diff now confirms zero strings changed. The default theme pins its roles to the previous constants to make that true; the anchors underneath are real, and a test bounds how far the pure derivation sits from them. The terminal ANSI palette keeps its own table, so 29 colour literals remain in main.rs, all terminal. The catalog, its attribution, and the picker are separate work.

Lumbridge
Lumbridge is a fast, local-first workspace and terminal multiplexer for agentic engineers. It will run coding harnesses side by side, preserve their sessions, connect rich agents through ACP, and show trustworthy account and usage context without forcing users into one model vendor.
The first supported desktop platforms are:
- macOS (Apple Silicon first, Intel when CI capacity is available)
- Ubuntu Linux
- Omarchy and compatible Arch Linux systems
Lumbridge is free and open source under Apache-2.0. Releases will be published as installable binaries; building from source will remain supported.
Status
This repository is in architecture and vertical-slice phase. The installable binary is still a scaffold, while the isolated native UI spikes now exercise an interactive 20/60/20 workspace backed by six live comparison surfaces, and the root workspace contains the first bounded local PTY, runtime actor, VT engine, and capability-gated workspace command boundaries. The GPUI slice shows a responsive one-, three-, or five-panel workspace—five on a 3440 px ultrawide— where every panel owns its own context, work surface, and decision shelf. One panel contains a styled actor-owned VT session and five comparison surfaces remain deterministic. Retained-history navigation is wired. The usage footer is a live strip over an append-only ledger with provenance, fed by two real adapters: Codex's documented quota surface and Claude Code's session transcripts. A harness with no adapter renders an explicit gap rather than a zero. We are still validating terminal text selection and mouse input, standalone runtime IPC/durability, ACP integration, and packaging before a large implementation.
Product shape
- A native desktop shell with tabs, panes, workspaces, worktrees, diffs, and an agent-aware footer.
- A Rust session runtime that survives UI restarts and can later run headless.
- ACP-native integrations where available, with supervised PTYs as the universal fallback for any CLI harness.
- First-class harnesses for Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, Pi, Hermes, OpenClaw, Goose, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.
- Subscription login owned by the upstream harness, plus separate BYOK provider profiles for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, DeepSeek, and more.
- Usage history, burn rate, reset windows, and forecasts with visible data provenance instead of invented precision.
- Optional first-class Buzz channels, messages, agents, and confirmed redacted pane sharing without making Buzz a requirement.
- An optional Lumbridge Harness that can suggest, coordinate, and—with explicit execution capability—manage agents through the same audited command plane as the human UI. Lumbridge remains useful without it.
Start with the product spec, architecture, research map, and captured upstream revisions. The native UI choice is intentionally open; see the measured decision plan.

bacon # continuous check; t tests, c lints, v runs the full gate

The accepted local/remote boundary is recorded in
decision 0003. The two
native shell candidates live in spikes/, with results tracked in
the UI scorecard.
The signed-protocol and pane-sharing boundary is in
the Buzz integration design.
