From a2cd119985a8579227f8efd5af04f72fd51d09cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: iris <2+iris@noreply.localhost> Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 05:35:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] iris: add List, a virtualised bottom-anchored list (RUST.md I3, part 1) Variable-height rows, keyed by a u64, composed only while visible via the existing draw_inner old-children diff (LAYOUT.md), moved not re-laid-out on scroll (Painter::widget_within/reposition, an O(1) offset write), a scroll anchor named by slot index so a row inserted above costs one index increment rather than a content-offset recompute, "more" sentinels as two ordinary optional widgets, and "hold the edge nearest the tap" resolved in the layout pass before any primitive is written for the frame. cargo test -p iris (24 passed, 5 new), cargo clippy --all-targets and cargo fmt --all -- --check clean.

RUST.md's I3. Read LAYOUT.md first -- this widget is built entirely out +//! of primitives that design already provides (`Painter::widget`/ +//! `widget_within`/`reposition`, and `draw_inner`'s own old-children +//! diffing) rather than adding a second move mechanism. +//! +//! ## Design +//! +//! **Rows are keyed by a `u64` (`RowKey`), not a generic type.** Every real +//! row source in this codebase (a transcript's monotonic sequence number, a +//! chat message id) is already an integer; a generic key would cost every +//! call site a type parameter for a capability nothing here needs yet -- +//! the simplest thing that works, per the code rules. +//! +//! **Composed only while visible, for free.** `List` does not maintain its +//! own "which widgets are alive" bookkeeping. Its `draw` calls +//! `painter.widget`/`widget_within` only for the rows currently in view; +//! `UiRenderState::draw_inner` already diffs a redrawn widget's new +//! `children` against its old ones and frees (`remove_rec`) whatever is no +//! longer called (LAYOUT.md section on caching, and the "old_children" +//! removal in `draw_inner`). A row that scrolls out is therefore dropped +//! and its primitives freed the very next time `List` redraws -- no new +//! mechanism, just relying on the one LAYOUT.md already built. +//! +//! **Rows draw once and are moved, not re-laid-out, on scroll.** A `List` +//! is laid out outward from one **anchor** row (`Anchor { slot, edge, +//! offset }`: a slot index, which of its edges is pinned, and that edge's +//! pixel offset from the viewport's leading edge) rather than from a +//! single scroll amount measured from the top of all content -- there is +//! no "top of all content" to measure without walking every row, which is +//! exactly the O(N) cost virtualisation exists to avoid. Rows below the +//! anchor are placed **top-known** (`Placement::Top`): offered an exact +//! top and a generous, oversized bottom, drawn once with +//! `painter.widget_within`, and their real height read back from the +//! returned `Size`. Rows above the anchor are placed **bottom-known** +//! (`Placement::Bottom`): since every widget in this crate paints itself +//! anchored top-left of whatever it is offered (LAYOUT.md's deviation 2), +//! placing a row so its *bottom* lands at an exact pixel needs the same +//! "learn the size, then move" trick `Aligned` already uses -- +//! `painter.widget` at the full offered region to measure, then +//! `painter.reposition` (an O(1) offset write, no second draw) to the +//! exact box. On an ordinary scroll tick only `Anchor::offset` changes; +//! every already-visible row keeps the same *size* it was offered last +//! frame (top-known rows: same generous bottom bound; bottom-known rows: +//! the same full-region measurement, which `draw_inner`'s own +//! `active.region == region` check turns into a **no draw at all**, its +//! cached `Size` returned for free) so the per-row cost of a tick is one +//! `mov()`/`reposition()` write, never a redraw -- verified in this file's +//! `moves_stay_o1_across_list_size` test and in `benches/message_list.rs`. +//! +//! **The scroll anchor survives a row inserted above it.** The anchor +//! names a row by its *slot index*, not by an absolute content offset +//! measured from the top -- so `push_front` only has to shift the +//! anchor's slot by one (`+= 1`, an O(1) write) to keep it pointing at the +//! same logical row; nothing about where that row is drawn changes, and +//! rows outside the loaded window are never touched. This is the same +//! reason `push_back`/`pop_front`/`pop_back` are all O(1): the widget +//! never computes "total content height," only the local heights of the +//! rows it is actively placing. +//! +//! **"More" sentinels are two ordinary optional widgets, not a second +//! data model.** `more_before`/`more_after` are each `Option` +//! set by the caller (`WidgetPtr`'s own idiom); when present, the walk +//! outward from the anchor treats the sentinel as one more slot past the +//! real rows (`BEFORE_SLOT`/`AFTER_SLOT`, reserved `isize` values below +//! `0`/above any real index) rather than special-casing it, so a sentinel +//! costs nothing extra to place or to virtualise away. +//! +//! **"Hold the edge nearest the tap," done in the layout pass.** +//! `note_tap(viewport_pos)` records where the user last touched the list, +//! in viewport-relative pixels, without forcing a redraw by itself -- the +//! app is expected to call it and then mutate whatever row is expanding +//! (e.g. toggling a collapsed message), which is what actually marks that +//! row (and, by the existing resize-bubble in `UiRenderState::redraw`, +//! `List` itself) dirty. The *next* time `List::draw` runs, before placing +//! anything, it looks at `extents` (each visible row's on-screen box as of +//! the *previous* frame, cached while walking) to find which row contains +//! the tap, decides whether the tap was nearer that row's top or bottom +//! edge, and re-anchors to exactly that row/edge/pixel -- so the row this +//! frame draws at its *new* height with the chosen edge pinned to the same +//! screen position it already occupied, and only the far side visibly +//! grows or shrinks. This is a layout decision made before any primitive +//! is written for the frame, not a correction applied to an already-drawn +//! wrong frame. +//! +//! **What is deliberately not solved here.** No overscroll clamping: a +//! `scroll()` past the first or last row leaves a gap rather than rubber- +//! banding back (mirrors `Scroll`'s own documented one-frame-lag +//! tolerance in LAYOUT.md, just not even auto-corrected -- there is +//! nothing to measure "how much content is left" without walking it). No +//! height estimation for unmeasured, off-screen rows: the walk only ever +//! measures the row it is about to place, one at a time outward from the +//! anchor, so there is no average-height table to keep consistent -- the +//! simplest thing that works, and it is what keeps every operation here +//! independent of how many rows exist off-screen. + +use crate::prelude::*; +use iris_core::util::HashMap; +use std::collections::VecDeque; + +/// A stable identifier for a loaded row, reused across pages so that a row +/// already measured and drawn is not treated as new when data is inserted +/// elsewhere.

Rewritten on top of iris::widget::List, plus two new scenarios from RUST.md's I3: (d) insert-above-anchor (paging older history onto an already-scrolled list) and (e) expand-a-row-holding-its-edge (list.rs's note_tap mechanism). Both come out flat across N = 100/1,000/10,000, as required. Also fixes a real inefficiency this rewrite surfaced: List::place's "generous" measurement bound was derived from viewport_len, so a sibling resizing the list itself (the (c) scenario) changed that bound every tick and defeated draw_inner's same-size fast path, forcing a full redraw of every visible row instead of a move. It is now a fixed module constant (GENEROUS_PADDING), independent of the list's own size -- draws for (c) dropped from 3059 to 684 over 40 ticks. cargo test -p iris (5 List tests still pass), cargo clippy --all-targets and --benches --release, cargo fmt --all -- --check all clean.

The screenshot showed one oversized tinted rectangle covering the whole visible window instead of per-row backgrounds. Fixed by caching each row's height once measured and placing an already-measured row directly at its exact box (one widget_within/ reposition pass, same as any known-size placement) instead of re-measuring every frame. A first-ever appearance still pays a two-draw measurement (draw_twice), and a row whose real height changed since it was cached is corrected the same frame it redraws (not a one-frame lag) via an explicit reposition when the two disagree. Steady-state scroll cost is unaffected: an unchanged row's single placement call still hits draw_inner's existing skip-or-move fast path. Also fixes repair_anchor unconditionally re-snapping a bottom-anchored list's offset to the viewport's edge on every frame snap_end was true -- which discarded a live scroll() call the moment it ran, since snap_end is only recomputed at the end of a layout pass and so still read true from before the scroll. Now only re-snaps when the viewport itself actually resized (tracked via last_viewport_len). Added a_fill_shaped_background_is_not_left_oversized, a direct regression test for the background bug (checks the background rect's own painted pixel size, not just the row's reported extent, which was already correct). cargo test -p iris (26 passed), clippy --all-targets and --benches --release, fmt --all -- --check all clean. Rebenched: all five scenarios still flat across N = 100/1,000/10,000 (numbers in RUST.md's I3 box). Visually verified via run-headless.sh message_list --shot, cropped with a throwaway PNG decoder since no image tooling is installed here.
