SurfaceTab, PanelView and LiveRuntimeStatus are the three descriptions the renderer draws from, and none of them needs a renderer. Keeping them in main.rs meant the product's own boundaries -- a surface is a view over a pane and switching one launches nothing; an unsupported surface is shown as unavailable rather than simulated -- were stated in the middle of six hundred lines of layout and enforced by nobody. Seven tests state them instead. Every pane kind opens on a tab the tab bar actually draws, which is the difference between a workspace that opens ready and one that opens on an "unavailable" panel and reads as broken before the user has touched anything; Markdown is the one that is not its own name, since a document pane is read through CONTEXT. The six ordinals match their positions, because ordinal() is mixed into the element ID a pane's tabs are built with and a duplicate silently collides two tabs into one element. Every surface owes a complete sentence, and six distinct ones -- the reason a browser pane is empty and the reason review is empty are different facts about how much of the product exists, and one generic line repeated six times would erase that. A running PTY names its pid when the runtime reported one and says nothing when it did not, rather than printing "pid None" or a zero and sending someone hunting for a process that never existed. A fault carries its message through instead of summarising it, because "PTY FAULT" is the badge and a badge alone has never told anyone what to fix. And only the two states a process cannot leave are terminal: calling Starting terminal abandons a pane before it runs, and calling Exited non-terminal polls a dead actor forever.

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.

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.
