What the user saw: dragging a gutter filled the affected panes with
many overlapping bash prompts, some corrupted mid-print
(megaproxy@DESKTOP-megaproxy@DESKTOP-SSAQG5 etc).
Root cause: every resizePane() call sends SIGWINCH to the shell, which
makes bash redraw its prompt. The previous fix coalesced the local
xterm fit() into one per rAF, but still fired resizePane on every
rAF — 60+ SIGWINCHes per second during a drag, faster than bash can
finish one prompt redraw before the next interrupts it.
Fix: separate the two concerns. fit() + term.refresh() still run
every rAF (the visual must stay smooth). But resizePane() is
debounced to fire 150 ms after the LAST rAF — i.e. only when you
stop dragging — so bash gets one clean SIGWINCH at the final size
and produces a single tidy prompt redraw.

Two related fixes for stale glyphs / visual artifacts while dragging
a gutter:
- Gutter.tsx: pointermove now writes the new ratio into a ref and
schedules a single requestAnimationFrame flush per frame. Without
this, setTree fires 60+ times per second during a drag and React
+ ResizeObserver + xterm's DOM renderer get out of sync. The
pointerup handler flushes any pending ratio so the final position
always lands.
- XtermPane.tsx: the ResizeObserver callback now also rAF-coalesces
AND calls term.refresh(0, term.rows - 1) after fit.fit(). xterm's
DOM renderer doesn't reliably repaint freed-up rows after a
shrink, so the explicit refresh wipes any stale glyphs.

Modern React 17+ JSX transform doesn't need `import React from "react"`
unless React itself is referenced. The two component files had stale
imports left over from the agent that scaffolded them; tsc -b under
the build config trips on them as TS6133. Drop them.

After hours of fighting Svelte 5's prop-reactivity through the
recursive Pane → SplitNode → LeafPane chain (props captured at
mount, never updated; context+getter pattern crashed; DOM-direct
workarounds created zombie-split click-intercept bugs), we
checkpointed the Svelte version (branch svelte-archive at e9015b2,
tarball at D:\archives\tiletopia-svelte-2026-05-22.tar.gz) and
rewrote the frontend in React.
Kept verbatim:
- All of src-tauri/ (Rust backend, Tauri config, icons)
- scripts/ (make-icon.py, release.sh)
- README.md, CLAUDE.md, memory.md
- src/lib/layout/tree.ts (pure TS — 43 tests still pass)
- src/ipc.ts (Tauri command wrappers)
Rewrote in React:
- src/App.tsx (top-level state via useState, OrchestrationProvider
for descendants via React.Context)
- src/lib/layout/orchestration.tsx (React Context API for shared
state — known-reliable reactivity, no Svelte 5 wall)
- src/lib/layout/Pane.tsx (recursive dispatcher)
- src/lib/layout/SplitNode.tsx (draggable gutter, local ratio state)
- src/lib/layout/LeafPane.tsx (toolbar + XtermPane)
- src/components/XtermPane.tsx (xterm.js wrapper, refs for callbacks)
- src/components/Notifications.tsx, Palette.tsx
Build: Vite + @vitejs/plugin-react. TypeScript strict. Same Tauri 2
config. Verified: pnpm check (clean), pnpm test (43/43 pass).
Not yet verified: pnpm tauri dev — that requires the Windows host.

After exhausting event-based approaches that all failed in WebView2:
- per-leaf onpointerdown: xterm.js stopPropagation
- document-capture pointerdown: only first event ever delivered
- document-capture mousedown/click: never delivered at all
- document-capture focusin: silently fails
- term.onFocus: no such xterm.js API
The bulletproof fallback: poll document.activeElement every 250ms
and call orch.setActive on its closest [data-leaf-id] ancestor.
No DOM events involved. Verified working with automation: clicking
pane 2 turns its border blue, clicking pane 1 moves the border to
pane 1, etc.
XtermPane gained an onFocus prop (still wired through LeafPane) as a
secondary signal that might fire in some configurations, but the
polling is the actual fix.

Tauri 2 + Svelte 5 + xterm.js + portable-pty. Single full-window
WSL terminal pane with clickable distro picker. M1 verified manually
on Windows: window opens, xterm.js renders, claude TUI works,
resize reflows cleanly.
Graduated from ~/claude/ideas/wsl-mux/ per the approved plan at
~/.claude/plans/imperative-coalescing-feigenbaum.md. See memory.md
for decisions, open TODOs, and the M2-M5 roadmap.
