Metal AgentandClaude Opus 5 f9f4f85402 Measure the terminal cell instead of guessing it, and stop telling the PTY zero
TERMINAL_CELL_WIDTH was 8.4 — a number nobody had measured. Asking the text
system for the advance of `0` in the face actually being painted gives ~7.3, so
the guess was 13% wide and the terminal was losing eighteen columns: the same
window that reported 122 columns now reports 140. Layout and paint now read the
same measurement, so they cannot drift apart again.

The plan claimed ws_xpixel disagreed with the painted width by 0.4 px per
column. It did not: the app only ever called TerminalSize::new, which passes no
pixel dimensions, so ws_xpixel and ws_ypixel were both *zero*. Every program
doing pixel arithmetic — sixel, the kitty graphics protocol, anything sizing an
image to the viewport — was being told the window has no size at all. Both the
spawn and the resize paths now report the real extent.

TerminalDimensions gains cell_width/cell_height accessors: it was already
carrying the values and nothing could read them.

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.

Scaffold

bacon              # continuous check; t tests, c lints, v runs the full gate
cargo xtest         # fast isolated tests with nextest
./scripts/ci.sh     # format + strict Clippy + tests + doctests
cargo run -p lumbridge

See the testing strategy for fake harnesses, ACP replay, terminal conformance, UI driving, recovery, performance, and packaging tests.

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. Brand masters, platform-ready raster exports, and usage rules are in assets/brand/ and the brand guide.
