Timeline

zit#131 landed the probe and exit 5. A conflicted landing renders as blocked with its paths named and accept disabled; a refused accept is a state to show, not a fault to report. Unknown is never treated as clean. check-in: e0f59b6abf user: dmestas tags: trunk

Stats are tallied at parse time so a windowed diff reports the whole file, and sit on the file header as well as the summary line. Tags come from checkin_tag, newest word per name winning. Copy falls back through execCommand to selection: navigator.clipboard is undefined on the plain-HTTP origins quarry is usually served from. check-in: ac056aaa1d user: dmestas tags: trunk

The timeline already had them; the ticket list did not — its row uses .Created and my earlier pass patched a different template that uses .Opened. Also added to ticket timeline entries and the forum queue.

The note is no longer folded when long. It was folded past ~1200 bytes because fossil's auto-toc note runs three screens and pushed a timeline below the fold, but a note written about this artifact is the context you came for. The summary stays, so it can still be collapsed; the threshold and the NoteLong field it fed are gone rather than left dead. closed check-in: eb1f126e04 user: dmestas tags: idn-open

Fossil's Context panel: the check-in among its neighbours in time, which is the question somebody bisecting a regression is asking. Two bounded index walks, no store read.

Needed a new index — every index on checkin led with branch, so ordering by date alone was a full scan of 20,928 rows plus a sort, twice a page. checkin_by_date puts the panel back at ~10ms.

Nodes reuse the timeline's palette so a branch is one colour across the forge. One lane deliberately: three neighbours are a slice of time, not a graph. On a phone the row stacks and the drawn rail becomes a border, since an SVG node cannot stretch without distorting its circle.

Identicons now appear wherever a person is named — check-in metadata, context rows, timeline, technotes, chat, attachments, wiki history. closed check-in: f73b5b9f05 user: dmestas tags: ci-context

A list of what awaits a decision and a page per record: proposal, diff against target computed at view time, discussion, and the controls. accept rides `i` because it merges; everything else is a forum cap. Transitions render as events — zit stores them as replies, which is encoding the interface exists to hide. check-in: 7d2a820f65 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Comment links resolved only hashes and http URLs, so fossil's own Markdown and limitations rendered as raw markup. They now go through the same route table the wiki renderer uses, and an unmapped one degrades to its label instead of showing brackets.

About moves below the comment and metadata — fossil's order. Above the title it was an empty bar floating over the page name.

checkin.diff returned the raw patch on every call and nothing read it: ~78KB of duplicate serialised and parsed back per view. Now opt-in. Diffs are also memoised per immutable pair, like listings already are. closed check-in: 7a2510835d user: dmestas tags: checkin-page

They were reachable only from a panel at the foot of the page — 36 rows down on a small wiki, a hundred on fossil. That is where you put something a reader already knows about, not where they discover it. Counts now sit in the filter row: wanted 1, unlinked 7. closed check-in: 6554752b15 user: dmestas tags: struct-links

A landing (zit#127) is a reading of forum_post, not a new artifact kind, so the table is derived and recomputed whenever any post in its thread folds -- which is what makes a reply indexed before its root converge on the same row. Backfilled once at open for indexes whose posts predate the table. check-in: 3c6bee847a user: dmestas tags: trunk

A merge whose two parents are both on trunk puts two chains in front of one column. Claiming rail 0 anyway stopped drawing the line that was already travelling there — the gap — and overwrote the commit it was heading to. Test asserts every head resumes its predecessor's tail. check-in: 6f34d948a0 user: dmestas tags: trunk

The edge resolved a CapSet and threw it away; it now rides the context, so an op can ask which letters the caller holds. Private tickets list, count and resolve for e, and for nobody else. One privacyWhere() so a fourth read path cannot silently ship without the clause. check-in: 9b2b188ece user: dmestas tags: trunk

The capability exists now (RFC 0004), so private_contact and contact are withheld by default and rendered to a holder of e. Default deny with no ungated-forge exemption: that rule would publish them. check-in: 86fadebbab user: dmestas tags: trunk

The new-ticket form rendered type/severity/priority/subsystem and the handler forwarded none of them. foundin was readable and writable nowhere. The sidebar editor listed six of nine fields. check-in: a83e03f2f3 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Three things the panel could not do. The lists were capped at twelve with "and 66 more" in plain text, which is a dead end wearing a summary's clothes — both now have a page, paged like everything else, reachable from the heading and from the count.

A wanted page named nobody. It links to the create form, which is the right action, but said nothing about WHO reached for the name — a to-do item with no brief. The index now records the asking pages and the page lists them.

Links counted link occurrences while its own doc and the tooltip both said pages; a page linking one absent name twice counted twice. Counts pages now.

Layout: the count sat 496px from its label in a 595px row, because space-between flung it to the far edge. closed check-in: af8678e35b user: dmestas tags: wiki-struct

One ticket changed nine times is nine rows here. "tickets 93,649" against 17,000 tickets had the right number and the wrong noun. check-in: bcdf35bcef user: dmestas tags: trunk

A chip counted its kind across the repository but paged a window of the whole timeline, so 234 tickets among thousands of check-ins gave ten pages with rows on almost none. Timeline takes a kind; event_by_kind covers it. check-in: 0238002099 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Every .idn rule was scoped to a parent — .avatar, .ft-meta, .f-post-h — so an identicon used anywhere new inherited no size, and an SVG with no size fills its container. The wiki history page rendered one person's mark at the width of the screen. A helper meant to be usable wherever a person is named has to be safe by default; the scoped rules are more specific and still win.

Also drops the centring from the doc grid. It indented the block away from the page title, which sits outside the grid: on a doc page the heading started at 392px and its first paragraph at 495px. closed check-in: 717dbf0f20 user: dmestas tags: idn-base

Sizing the grid to what each page happened to hold made the prose jump sideways every time a reader clicked from a page with headings to one without. The text should sit where it sat: the contents track is now always reserved, and an empty one costs nothing but space it was going to occupy anyway.

The left rail still follows :has — a doc page has no siblings to list, and reserving a gutter for nothing is a different mistake. closed check-in: 6d2a12980e user: dmestas tags: doc-reserve

Infinite scroll out, a real pager in: page numbers with both ends pinned, position, and every page a bookmarkable URL. The feed pages by offset now (a page is a position, not a place you arrived from) and says how far it reaches — 264K events is not a pager, it is an archive, and that lives on each repository's timeline. check-in: 98f77c8273 user: dmestas tags: trunk

fossil content links its documentation absolutely — the Cookbook has importing from Git — and the route mapping sent those to the file view. That was right when the file view was the only thing there was; since doc.get exists it has been putting readers in a source listing of a page quarry can render.

Leaves /uv/ dropped: unversioned content is a fossil feature neither quarry nor zit has, and that is why Download renders as plain text rather than as a link to a 404. closed check-in: d53f14d5b5 user: dmestas tags: doc-links-abs

Fossil's own docs link directories with a trailing slash — index.wiki carries a variety of techniques — and those all 404'd: the doc route found no renderable extension, redirected to the file view, and the file view cannot serve a directory. A real page was sitting behind the error the whole time (www/caps/index.md).

A directory now serves its index document, preferring the formats that render into the page, found with one listing rather than a probe per candidate. A directory with no index goes to the TREE view; only an actual file falls back to source. closed check-in: ff17aa2517 user: dmestas tags: doc-dirs

A fixed window is a dead end for anyone whose repositories are busy. Cursor is date~hash, so the merged stream cannot repeat or skip where two events share a timestamp. Sentinel

• loads the next page on scroll; noscript holds the same page as a link.

At 1800px the article ended 391 pixels short of the contents rail. That was not breathing room, it was a hole: the column took 1fr while the article capped at the measure, so the leftover sat between them.

The column now sizes to its content and the block centres. Running text still caps at the measure — 73 characters a line, where reading wants 45-75 — but a code block, a table or a diagram gets the whole column, because wrapping those to prose width is what makes people scroll sideways. Measured on fossil's th1.md: prose 625px, code up to 1216. closed check-in: d11bec1130 user: dmestas tags: doc-measure

Fossil's wikitheory.wiki: pages named branch/NAME or checkin/HASH are associated with that branch or check-in, and fossil shows them in an About section on those screens. Hiding them from the documentation index without this made 49 of fossil's 83 wiki pages reachable only by typing the URL — half the fix, and the worse half.

Notes now appear above their branch's timeline, their check-in, their ticket and their tag. A branch note shows only when the timeline is narrowed to that branch: above every branch it is a caption on the wrong picture.

Long ones start folded. Fossil's own auto-toc note runs three screens and put the timeline entirely below the fold, which is an About that has buried its subject. closed check-in: 9b9618a12f user: dmestas tags: assoc-notes

Resolved twice against work that landed on trunk in parallel — the wiki structure panel and saved views. All three are orthogonal; nothing was dropped. Truncation goes, since paging replaces it. check-in: ce412bd621 user: dmestas tags: trunk

A saved view is a name for a URL the tracker could already produce, so it stores the name and the query and nothing else. Per account, per listing; forgetting one loses the shortcut and not the listing. check-in: 96181d8fcb user: dmestas tags: trunk

Wiki pages alone did not need paging — human authorship bounds them at a couple of hundred — but the tree half is unbounded, and the old 400 cap was a dead end with everything past it reachable only by guessing a filter. Pages of 100, since these are one-line rows in two columns.

One function builds every link, so a filter, a sort, a page and the associated-wiki choice cannot lose each other; a stale offset lands on the first page rather than an empty one. The pager type is shared with the tracker now, which is what it always was. closed check-in: fa70fc4958 user: dmestas tags: docs-paging

Orphans and wanted pages, derived from the live text so they cost no storage. Fossil's [Name] is prose until it resolves, so only [[Name]] asks for a page. Filter and sort stay hidden until the list is long enough to need them. check-in: 09d6dfb0ad user: dmestas tags: trunk

Associated wiki — branch/, checkin/, tag/, ticket/ — are notes attached to another artifact, shown on that artifact's page; fossil's own index hides them behind a Show associated wikis checkbox. They are 49 of fossil's 83 wiki pages, so listing them made the index 59% notes about something else. Now hidden, with the same opt-in fossil offers.

Replaces the namespace-collapsing from the previous check-in: that treated the symptom, this is the rule fossil actually defines.

The front door is pinned — a documentation directory's own index, else the README — since fossil has no per-document importance metadata and convention is the honest substitute. Tree documents now carry the author of their last change, which the batched date query was already reading and throwing away. closed check-in: 8459b994d1 user: dmestas tags: docs-tab

Leads with the tickets somebody else answered and left with you, which needs no stored last-seen. Two columns, not three: the third was the feed filtered to one author. The feed's kind chips count exactly the rows they show. check-in: 837a5c908a user: dmestas tags: trunk

The wiki tab showed half a project's documentation. On fossil's own repository it lists 83 pages — 35 branch/ working notes, 7 test fixtures, and 41 real pages last touched in 2018 — while the 113 current documents under www/ had no way in at all.

The tab is now docs and lists both stores in one shape, sortable by name or recency, filterable across both. Where a page is STORED decides how it is edited, not what it is, so the source is a quiet marker on the row rather than a separate section. Namespaces of three or more pages collapse to one row that filters to itself, which is how 35 branch notes stop burying the rest. /wiki keeps working as a permanent redirect.

No count on the tab: the tree half costs a subprocess to size, and a badge reading 83 above a list of 211 is worse than no badge. check-in: 7e2839cf4c user: dmestas tags: docs-tab
