- # Native Picker Engine
2
-
3
- This note tracks the native picker engine. Native is the only picker backend.
4
-
5
- The fzf compatibility surface for the native engine is tracked in
6
- [native-picker-parity.md](native-picker-parity.md).
7
-
8
- ## What This Covers
9
-
10
- - `internal/ui/picker` is the backend-neutral contract for native picker rows,
11
- actions, filtering, and typed-query prompts.
12
- - `internal/ui/projmuxpicker` is the projmux-specific native picker surface for
13
- frame, redraw updates, theme tokens, ANSI width/truncation,
14
- prompt/footer/list rendering, and preview pane layout. The POC keeps `picker`
15
- responsible for backend routing, keyboard input, filtering, preview command
16
- execution, and result contracts, while moving visual composition into
17
- `projmuxpicker` so projmux can evolve a native picker design without coupling
18
- every visual tweak to the compatibility option/result shape.
19
- Built-in fallback colors are centralized as semantic tokens in
20
- `internal/theme/palette.go`; see [theme-palette.md](theme-palette.md) for the
21
- current inventory and truecolor to tmux 256-color mapping policy.
22
- - `internal/ui/pickercompat` remains an internal compatibility mapper between
23
- the old option/result shape and the backend-neutral `picker.Options`
24
- contract. It is not a runtime backend. App code should
25
- describe picker intent as rows, actions, preview commands, and initial focus,
26
- then route through the native picker.
27
- - Settings > Labs remains available for Live system resources and Project
28
- Hooks, but picker backend/source information has been retired.
29
- - Picker flows covered by the native path include AI picker/settings, shell
30
- update prompt, settings hub sections, switch settings/add-pin, the main
31
- project switcher list, recent sessions, and notify sidebar.
32
- - The native picker supports ranked fuzzy search/filter, arrow-key selection in
33
- normal CSI and tmux application-cursor modes, Enter, Esc, Ctrl-C, Backspace,
34
- Ctrl-U, Ctrl-W, PageUp/PageDown, Home/End, modified CSI keys, custom expect
35
- keys such as Ctrl-X/Alt-P, printable expect keys such as notify `a`/`x`, control
36
- expect keys such as notify `Ctrl-X`, `start:pos(N)` initial focus, preview
37
- command output, preview cycle command bindings, and sidebar focus command
38
- bindings.
39
- - FZF-style movement keys are supported for native selection: `Ctrl-N` and
40
- `Ctrl-J` move down, while `Ctrl-P` and `Ctrl-K` move up unless the app claims
41
- the key as a custom action. Up/down-family movement wraps at list boundaries;
42
- PageUp/PageDown and Home/End remain clamped or explicit jumps.
43
- - Typed-query prompts support cursor-aware insertion/deletion with a visible
44
- prompt cursor, Left/Right, Ctrl-A/E, Delete, Backspace, Ctrl-U, and Ctrl-W
45
- for settings path entry.
46
- - The native key parser keeps legacy parser-fixture coverage for app-specific
47
- modified-key escapes, plus generic modified forms such as `ESC [ 115 ; 7 u`
48
- for `Ctrl-Alt-S`. This is backend parser parity, not a product fallback
49
- route.
50
- - Native interactive picker screens use an alternate screen lifecycle to better
51
- match fzf fullscreen behavior and restore the tmux pane after exit. Frame
52
- updates and screen exit both return to column 0 before emitting terminal
53
- control sequences, and screen exit resets styles plus clears the alternate
54
- buffer from the home cursor before restore. This keeps restore/update escapes
55
- and selected-session handoff output from visually trailing the bottom border
56
- in tmux/script captures. Native also gives real TTY screen restore a short
57
- settle window before returning to callers that may immediately draw a tmux
58
- session.
59
- - Native interactive picker screens render inside a full-screen border frame to
60
- match the app's fzf `--height 100% --border` surface more closely.
61
- - Popup-toggle commands use tmux `display-popup -B` when the native backend is
62
- active so the native picker owns the visible frame and does not double-draw
63
- with tmux's outer popup border.
64
- - Native Alt-1 sidebar popups use the same responsive width calculation as fzf
65
- with a smaller native-only minimum, so the borderless native frame is not
66
- wider than the existing fzf sidebar surface on normal terminals.
67
- - Native Alt-2 notify sidebar popups keep the fzf baseline width contract
68
- (`24%`, minimum `64`) while still letting the native picker own the frame.
69
- - Native sidebar popups reserve two rows at the bottom for the tmux statusbar
70
- area instead of using the full client height.
71
- - Simple native lists use the available terminal height after header, prompt,
72
- footer, and preview reservations instead of a fixed page-sized viewport.
73
- - Navigation-only native lists mirror fzf `--disabled --no-input`: the input
74
- prompt is hidden, printable non-action keys do not alter the query, and
75
- expect/action keys still work.
76
- - Native frame content now uses the full inner border width so prompt/list/footer
77
- separators reach the right border like fzf.
78
- - Native frames can render an optional picker-owned titlebar row below the top
79
- border when `picker.Options.Title` is set; empty titles keep the default frame
80
- unchanged. Non-empty titles use a distinct neutral titlebar surface with rule
81
- fill and a divider row separating the title section from the search/content
82
- section. The native Alt-1 project sidebar uses this for a
83
- `Projects` titlebar.
84
- - Native width/truncation uses terminal cell width for Korean/CJK text, emoji,
85
- and combining marks instead of raw rune count, so localized project names and
86
- decorated notify headers do not push the right frame border out of alignment.
87
- - Searchable native pickers draw an explicit `Search` label and a muted
88
- separator under the prompt/count line so the query area reads as distinct
89
- chrome rather than the first row of the list. Footer, down-preview, and
90
- multi-line card gaps share the same `projmuxpicker` separator primitive for a
91
- more consistent native surface.
92
- - Native interactive mode enables SGR mouse reporting while the alternate screen
93
- is active. Primary mouse down focuses the row under the cursor, primary mouse
94
- up applies it, mouse wheel moves selection up/down, and reporting is disabled
95
- again during screen restore.
96
- - When terminal size detection is unavailable, native picker falls back to a
97
- conservative 80x24 terminal instead of assuming a wider surface. Interactive
98
- tmux popups still use the detected popup size when `stty size` is available.
99
- - Simple and multi-line native rows share the same projmux current-row style and
100
- pointer marker rather than falling back to terminal inverse video for simple
101
- pickers.
102
- - Selected multi-line rows use the same pointer-width `▌` continuation marker
103
- as the first selected project line, so switch/session/notify cards read as one
104
- focused block.
105
- - Pointer and continuation markers render inside the current-row gutter style so
106
- selected cards do not visually break between the marker and row content.
107
- - Native redraws use terminal synchronized-update wrappers and coalesced
108
- row-diff updates after the first frame. The frame/redraw renderer lives in
109
- `projmuxpicker` rather than the backend loop, skips unchanged frames, and
110
- avoids a trailing newline after the bottom border. This reduces visible
111
- keyboard-navigation flicker and prevents exact-height popups from scrolling
112
- the top border off screen.
113
- - Native preview panes normalize tabs and control bytes before horizontal
114
- clipping, preventing long preview rows from wrapping and consuming extra
115
- vertical viewport rows in session popups.
116
- - Native sidebar list scrollbars use the fixed list viewport as their track and
117
- measure multi-line cards in rendered rows, so the thumb does not shrink or
118
- jump when card heights vary.
119
- - Switch picker git branch badges are capped more tightly for the native card
120
- surface, so inactive branch backgrounds do not dominate narrow Alt-1 sidebar
121
- rows.
122
- - Native selection changes render their frame diff before running sidebar focus
123
- commands, so tmux focus/switch side effects do not delay the visible picker
124
- movement.
125
- - In app TTY contexts, the native picker opens the controlling terminal
126
- (`/dev/tty`) before entering raw mode. This avoids stdin/stdout mismatch and
127
- line-mode escape leakage such as arrow keys appearing as `^[[`.
128
- - Raw TTY reads keep polling briefly across empty reads while decoding
129
- escape-key sequences, so split arrow/Alt key bytes are consumed by the picker
130
- instead of leaking into the query or parent shell.
131
-
132
- ## Experimental Boundaries
133
-
134
- - The `projmuxpicker` package is intended as a foundation that can be carried
135
- forward, along with the compatibility option/result mapping in
136
- `internal/ui/pickercompat`.
137
- Its frame, row, preview, theme, ANSI, and redraw modules are foundation code;
138
- Docker sandbox scripts and dependency-policy notes remain support
139
- scaffolding.
140
- - Switch and sessions preview panes are native previews for the concrete
141
- projmux option shapes. Wide right-side preview windows render beside the
142
- list, and sidebar-style `down,25%,border-top` previews render below the list
143
- without a synthetic preview title row, using fzf-measured percent sizing.
144
- Preview rows are padded by `projmuxpicker` to the full preview surface width
145
- before the outer frame is applied, which keeps split/down preview columns
146
- visually stable during redraws.
147
- The full fzf preview-window grammar remains outside this POC surface.
148
- - Preview cycle state is covered in Docker e2e against real tmux sessions: the
149
- switch and sessions popup flows type a filtered query, send `Right` and
150
- `Alt-Down`, and assert the stored preview window/pane cursor for the selected
151
- session.
152
- - Public doctor dependency policy no longer includes an external picker binary.
153
-
154
- ## Interactive No-fzf Sandbox
155
-
156
- Use this when you want to enter a Docker container and experience this build
157
- directly without `fzf`. It builds the no-fzf dependency image, mounts this
158
- worktree, builds `projmux` inside the container, creates sample projects under
159
- `/workspace/projects`, stores the native picker backend in the sandbox config,
160
- writes a tmux config with the same backend in the tmux server environment, and
161
- launches `projmux shell`. It also forces UTF-8 locale inside the container. This
162
- uses `wt path` instead of `wt run` because `docker run -it` needs the current
163
- terminal TTY:
164
-
165
- ```sh
166
- bash "$(wt path poc/native-picker-no-fzf)/scripts/poc-native-picker-no-fzf-sandbox.sh"
167
- ```
168
-
169
- Inside the tmux shell, try:
170
-
171
- ```sh
172
- projmux switch
173
- projmux settings
174
- projmux doctor --json
175
- ```
176
-
177
- Manual UX checks for the Docker sandbox:
178
-
179
- - Alt-1 opens with the top border/title visible, not clipped.
180
- - Vertical borders stay continuous while moving Up/Down.
181
- - Alt-1 closes the sidebar immediately when pressed again.
182
- - Alt-2, Alt-4, Alt-5, and Alt-7 open their matching native popups and close
183
- on the same Alt key immediately.
184
- - Alt-3 opens Recent Windows.
185
- - Arrow keys move selection without leaking `^[[` text into the query.
186
-
187
- `fzf` is intentionally not installed in the image.
188
-
189
- ## Automated No-fzf Docker E2E Command
190
-
191
- Run this from the repository root. It builds a Go 1.25 Trixie no-fzf
192
- dependency image from `test/docker/no-fzf-poc.Dockerfile`, including Go module
193
- cache, then mounts the repository into an isolated `--network none` container,
194
- builds `projmux`, asserts `fzf` is not on `PATH`, runs the focused native-picker
195
- tests, opens Settings > Labs with legacy `fzf` env/file values, verifies native
196
- operation without a Labs picker-source row or config rewrite, exercises `projmux switch --ui=sidebar`
197
- search/selection under a container PTY,
198
- exercises `projmux switch --ui=popup` and `projmux sessions --ui=popup` against
199
- existing tmux sessions under a wide 150x30 PTY, sends `Right` and `Alt-Down`
200
- once to smoke the preview-cycle bindings, asserts those popup flows stay on the
201
- right-side preview layout instead of falling back to inline preview, asserts the
202
- explicit `Search` chrome across the searchable native picker surfaces, launches
203
- `projmux shell` under a container PTY, verifies
204
- that it creates a tmux session, verifies immediate launch-key close behavior for
205
- Alt-1 through Alt-5 native popup surfaces, exercises `notify list --ui=sidebar`
206
- with the printable `x` expect key, and exercises the settings picker under a PTY
207
- using Enter and arrow-key navigation through the native backend. Settings flows
208
- must keep stderr clean in the no-tmux-server container; tmux no-server noise is
209
- treated as an e2e failure.
210
-
211
- Short tmux-friendly form:
212
-
213
- ```sh
214
- wt run poc/native-picker-no-fzf -- scripts/poc-native-picker-no-fzf-e2e.sh
215
- ```
216
-
217
- The script contains the Docker image build and isolated `docker run` command:
218
-
219
- ```sh
220
- scripts/poc-native-picker-no-fzf-e2e.sh
221
- ```
222
-
223
- To compare another base image without editing the repo, override the build arg:
224
-
225
- ```sh
226
- PROJMUX_POC_NO_FZF_BASE_IMAGE=golang:1.24-bookworm bash "$(wt path poc/native-picker-no-fzf)/scripts/poc-native-picker-no-fzf-sandbox.sh"

50
- | picker-owned app background | native picker frame interior | Covered for renderer-owned cells | `ThemeFromEffective` applies built-in fallback and explicit effective `surface` / `chrome_foreground` SGR to the native frame, and frame rows resume the app style after embedded resets so content padding, empty no-footer rows, footer rows, scrollbars, and preview gaps do not leak terminal default background; `TestThemeFromEffectiveFallbackPaintsFrameBackground`; `TestRendererFrameBackgroundResumesAfterContentResetBeforePadding`; `TestNativeInteractiveNoFooterBlankRowsUseThemeBackground`; `TestNativeInteractiveSplitPreviewGapsUseThemeBackground`; `TestNativeInteractiveSettingsAIBadgeStyleLongPreviewClampsFrameRows` |

- | tmux popup frame interaction | native picker popups launched through `popup-toggle` | Covered for native backend popups | `popup-toggle` passes tmux `display-popup -B` when `PROJMUX_PICKER_BACKEND=native`, so the native picker owns the visible frame instead of double-drawing with the tmux popup border; tmux 3.4 per-command `display-popup -s` is used for the popup body style, setting `bg` from `surface` and `fg` from `chrome_foreground` so tmux's blank/pre-draw popup body matches the native picker surface before the app renderer paints; no global `popup-style`, `popup-border-style`, shell pane background, `default-style`, `window-style`, OSC background, or status/window palette options are changed; native Alt-1 uses a compact native-only minimum while fzf keeps the previous project sidebar minimum; Alt-1/Alt-2 sidebar heights reserve two bottom statusbar rows; Alt-2 notify sidebar keeps the fzf-like `24%` / min `64` baseline; `TestAppRunTmuxPopupToggleUsesBorderlessPopupForNativeBackend`; `TestAppRunTmuxPopupToggleUsesNativePopupBodyStyleFromEffectiveTheme`; `TestBuildPopupToggleWithPickerBackendStylesNativeOnly`; `TestBuildDisplayPopupArgsAddsBodyStyle`; `TestSessionizerSidebarWidthKeepsFZFMinimum`; `TestSidebarPopupHeightLeavesStatusbarRows`; `TestNotifySidebarWidthMatchesFZFBaseline`; `TestAppRunTmuxPopupToggleKeepsNotifySidebarFZFSizingForNative` |
52
- | optional native titlebar | native picker popup frame | Covered for empty-title compatibility and opt-in titles | `picker.Options.Title`; `RenderFrameWithTitle`; `ContentLayoutWithTitle`; empty titles keep the prior frame unchanged, non-empty titles render in a picker-owned section below the top border, titlebar text/divider/chip gaps inherit the frame `surface` / `chrome_foreground` instead of a separate titlebar overlay ANSI layer, and the native Alt-1 project sidebar opts into `Projects`; `TestRendererRenderFrameWithTitleKeepsDefaultWhenTitleEmpty`; `TestRendererRenderFrameWithTitleUsesTitlebarRow`; `TestRendererContentLayoutWithTitleReservesTitlebarRow`; `TestNativeInteractiveRendersOptionalTitlebar`; `TestSwitchCommandNativeSidebarSetsTitle` |

- | redraw flicker/top clipping | keyboard navigation in exact-height tmux popup | Partially covered | native redraws use synchronized updates plus coalesced row diffs after the first frame, skip unchanged frames, render frame diffs before sidebar focus commands, frame rendering avoids trailing bottom-border CRLF, and screen exit clears the alternate buffer before restore; `TestNativeInteractiveWrapsRedrawsInSynchronizedUpdates`; `TestFrameUpdateRendererSkipsUnchangedFrame`; `TestFrameUpdateRendererCoalescesEachFrameUpdate`; `TestRendererRenderFrameUsesCRLFRowsForRawTTY`; `TestNativeInteractiveUsesAlternateScreen` |

- ## Native Surface Architecture
56
-
57
- - `internal/ui/picker` remains the backend-neutral contract and owns native
58
- routing, keyboard input, fuzzy filtering, action dispatch, preview command
59
- execution, and result handling.
60
- - `internal/ui/projmuxpicker` owns projmux-native visual composition: frame,
61
- redraw updates, ANSI width/truncation, theme tokens, prompt/footer/list
62
- rendering, selected row styling, scrollbars/gap rows, and preview pane
63
- geometry/rendering.
64
- - `internal/ui/pickercompat` remains as the internal compatibility option/result
65
- mapper from older app option shapes to `picker.Options` for the native
66
- backend. It is not a runtime backend. This keeps app code closer to a
67
- DI-style picker contract instead of embedding binding strings at each call
68
- site.
69
- - Settings > Labs remains available for Live system resources and Project
70
- Hooks, but no longer exposes picker backend/source information. Deprecated
71
- saved/env backend values remain read-compatible and normalize to native.
72
- - The split lets projmux grow a first-party picker design independently from
73
- the compatibility option/result mapper.
74
-
75
- ## Frame Chrome ANSI
76
-
77
- Native picker frame chrome is normalized in `internal/ui/projmuxpicker`.
78
- Titlebar text, title dividers, and chip-strip gaps inherit the frame
79
- `surface` / `chrome_foreground` instead of applying a second titlebar overlay ANSI layer;
80
- chip bodies can still carry active/inactive/disabled tones. Search prompt and
81
- footer separators fill the available frame width, and header, row, footer, and
82
- preview lines close any active SGR style before padding or frame borders can
83
- inherit it. This phase does not add popup modes or change the `popup-toggle`
84
- contract; native popups still rely on the existing borderless tmux popup path.
85
-
86
- ## Verified Flows
87
-
88
- - `ai` picker/settings: native backend routing covered by app tests. Docker
89
- no-fzf e2e also types `Codex` into `projmux ai settings` and verifies the
90
- native simple picker writes the `codex` mode without fzf.
91
- - `shell` update prompt: native backend routing covered by shared compat-to-native
92
- bridge and settings-style typed prompt tests.
93
- - `settings`: native backend exercised in unit tests and Docker no-fzf e2e
94
- using Enter plus arrow-key navigation under a PTY. The Docker e2e also fails
95
- if the Settings flows write tmux no-server noise to stderr while running
96
- outside tmux.
97
- - `settings > Labs`: unit and Docker no-fzf coverage assert only Live system
98
- resources and Project Hooks are visible. The Docker smoke starts with legacy
99
- `fzf` env/file values, verifies Settings still uses native without fzf, and
100
- confirms the compatibility file is read without being rewritten.
101
- - `switch --ui=sidebar`: Docker no-fzf e2e creates sample projects, types
102
- `bravo`, selects `bravo-web`, and confirms the opened tmux shell path.
103
- - `switch --ui=popup`: Docker no-fzf e2e creates existing tmux sessions using
104
- the app's session naming convention, runs the picker under a 150x30 PTY,
105
- types `bravo`, sends `Right` and `Alt-Down` to exercise preview window/pane
106
- cycle, asserts the popup stays on the right-side preview layout instead of
107
- inline preview, asserts the stored preview cursor, selects `bravo-web`, and
108
- asserts tmux reports the selected session's active target on the expected
109
- window with the expected pane path.
110
- - `sessions --ui=popup`: Docker no-fzf e2e creates existing tmux sessions,
111
- runs the picker under a 150x30 PTY, types `bravo`, sends `Right` and
112
- `Alt-Down` to exercise preview window/pane cycle, asserts the popup stays on
113
- the right-side preview layout instead of inline preview, asserts the stored
114
- preview cursor, selects `bravo-web`, and asserts tmux reports the selected
115
- session's active target on the expected window with the expected pane path.
116
- - `notify sidebar`: native routing is unit-covered; app tests cover
117
- queue-write event subscription and picker tests cover repeated
118
- event-triggered deferred refresh. Docker no-fzf e2e pushes a notification,
119
- presses printable expect key `a`, and verifies the row is acked.
120
-
121
- ## Experimental Boundaries
122
-
123
- - Preview-window parity is covered for the concrete projmux option shapes
124
- (`right,60%,border-left` and `down,25%,border-top`) with fzf-measured percent
125
- sizing. The full fzf preview-window grammar, threshold alternatives, sticky
126
- headers, and offset expressions are intentionally outside this POC surface.
127
- - fzf V2 dynamic scoring is covered for normal app-length non-search-key
128
- rows, including reference scores for boundary, delimiter, camelCase/number,
129
- gap, and consecutive bonuses. Very large `query * row` matrices intentionally
130
- fall back to the greedy scorer to avoid pathological memory use. Search-keyed
131
- app pickers preserve fzf's `--disabled` reload order instead of score-sorting.
132
- - Mouse support is intentionally narrow in this POC: primary mouse down focuses
133
- the clicked row, primary mouse up applies it, and wheel input moves selection.
134
- Drag gestures and the full fzf mouse grammar are follow-up work.
135
- - The public doctor/docs dependency policy no longer includes an external
136
- picker binary.
137
- - Draft PR: https://github.com/crevissepartners/projmux/pull/98.
138
-
139
- ## Commands
140
-
141
- Automated no-fzf e2e:
142
-
143
- ```sh
144
- wt run poc/native-picker-no-fzf -- scripts/poc-native-picker-no-fzf-e2e.sh
145
- ```
146
-
147
- Interactive no-fzf sandbox:
148
-
149
- ```sh
150
- bash "$(wt path poc/native-picker-no-fzf)/scripts/poc-native-picker-no-fzf-sandbox.sh"
151
- ```
152
-
153
- Do not run the interactive sandbox through `wt run`: current `wt run` captures
154
- child stdio instead of forwarding the caller's TTY, so Docker cannot attach
155
- `-it` and terminal picker input will not behave like a real session.

- # Picker UI Plan
2
-
3
- ## Goal
4
-
5
- The project switcher needs a rich native picker surface. The target interaction
6
- is a card-like list where each item can show a title plus small contextual lines
7
- such as session state, window/pane summary, branch, or path. Search should stay
8
- focused on stable identity text, especially the project or session title,
9
- instead of matching every contextual preview line.
10
-
11
- ## Current Contract
12
-
13
- The picker contract is split in two layers:
14
-
15
- - `internal/ui/picker` owns backend-neutral items, actions, preview metadata,
16
- title-focused filtering, and the native runner.
17
- - `internal/ui/pickercompat` is an internal compatibility option/result shape
18
- for older app call sites. It is not a runtime backend, and product flows do
19
- not execute the external fzf binary.
20
-
21
- ## fzf Capability Check
22
-
23
- This section is historical context. Earlier design work evaluated fzf because it
24
- supported multi-line items with `--read0`, where a single item can contain
25
- newline characters when input records are NUL-delimited.
26
-
27
- The simple fzf option path is not enough for the desired search behavior:
28
-
29
- - `--read0` can display multi-line items.
30
- - `--nth` can restrict search to selected fields.
31
- - `--with-nth` can transform the displayed fields.
32
- - In practice, once `--with-nth` is used to show a card field, fzf searches the
33
- transformed visible text. Context lines become searchable.
34
-
35
- So fzf can support "multi-line cards", but not "multi-line cards with title-only
36
- search" through a small option-only extension while preserving the current
37
- selection contract.
38
-
39
- ## Viable Paths
40
-
41
- ### 1. fzf card approximation
42
-
43
- Use `--read0` and NUL-delimited multi-line entries. This is the smallest change,
44
- but contextual card text will participate in search unless the visible card is
45
- kept title-only. This does not meet the intended search model.
46
-
47
- This path is retired and is not supported.
48
-
49
- ### 2. fzf custom filtering
50
-
51
- Run fzf in a more controlled mode where query changes reload a filtered list
52
- from `projmux`, and `projmux` performs title-focused matching. This keeps fzf as
53
- the renderer but moves filtering into the app.
54
-
55
- Tradeoffs:
56
-
57
- - More shell quoting and reload complexity.
58
- - More edge cases around selection identity and tracking.
59
- - Still constrained by fzf's list layout and event model.
60
-
61
- This bridge path is retired and is not supported.
62
-
63
- ### 3. Native picker TUI
64
-
65
- Introduce a picker abstraction and implement a native terminal UI for card rows,
66
- title-focused search, stable selection identity, and app-owned key handling.
67
-
68
- This best matches the desired product direction:
69
-
70
- - card rows are first-class data, not encoded fzf strings
71
- - search fields are explicit
72
- - preview/context fields can be visible but non-searchable
73
- - future key behavior can be tested without relying on fzf internals
74
-
75
- ## Implemented Direction
76
-
77
- Do not extend the retired fzf row format again. The previous hidden-field attempt
78
- showed that small fzf encoding changes can break selection and navigation in
79
- subtle ways.
80
-
81
- Current implementation:
82
-
83
- - Picker-domain model exists as `picker.Item` with `Title`, `Value`,
84
- `SearchText`, `MetaLines`, `Badges`, and `PreviewTarget`.
85
- - `picker.Options` carries backend-neutral actions, preview metadata, prompt,
86
- footer, initial query, and multiline intent.
87
- - Native is the picker backend and renders the popup/sidebar surfaces.
88
- - Native supports multiline item rendering, title-focused search via
89
- `SearchText`, numeric selection, and shared close actions.
90
- - Switcher popup/sidebar use native preview panes, raw-key navigation, and
91
- sidebar focus tracking.
