Reopening a session downloaded the conversation again, every time, over
the tunnel. It now draws from a copy of what the server has already sent
and asks for one event to check that copy is still current.
Per session, under cacheDir, the server's own event lines in chunks named
for the range they cover -- so a coalesced page, whose lines do not say
what they cover, still records it. Only the contiguous run ending at the
newest chunk is served; a gap is closed by paging through it, bounded by
`after` on /transcript so the page stops where the phone's copy starts
and can therefore be kept. Nothing is derived and stored: rows are a
rendering, and a cache of them would need throwing away on every change
to the fold.
Nothing here is load-bearing. Missing, evicted, damaged or unwritable all
degrade to the cold open this screen did before, and the check before the
stream resumes -- one request, one event -- is what stops a replaced or
truncated file being spliced onto a copy of a different conversation.
What that check cannot see, a line changed mid-file with the tail intact,
is what Reload in session settings is for.
Measured on the emulator against ui-sandbox, on a 505-event session:
reopening it costs one request for one event, including scrolling the
whole conversation back; a cold open is two requests and 100 events. A
reset after falling 300 behind fetched the gap as four coalesced rows
rather than re-fetching 104 events and discarding them. Every chunk was
checked line by line against what the server says for the range its name
claims, across the reset and the gap-fill.
transcript-bench.sh, same viewport content and gestures, before and
after: p50 16.9ms both, p90 25.6 -> 23.2ms, p99 33.5 -> 36.7ms, and the
transcript's own draw accounting 0.33ms -> 0.32ms with place 0.31ms
either way. Within the emulator's noise, which is what a cache must be:
it changes what is fetched, not what is drawn.
Building it also found that the server handed out the same transcript
line two different ways. serde_json's default float parser is not
correctly rounded, so a ts written as ...0757 came back from /transcript
as ...0755 while the SSE stream sent the original -- invisible on screen,
since a ts is drawn as a relative time, and visible here only because the
cache compares a line it holds against the server's answer. Fixed with
float_roundtrip, with a test that fails the moment it is dropped.

A markdown paragraph took every tap that landed on its glyphs, so an opened
peer message or memory note could be shut anywhere except on the text --
which is most of it, and reads as a card that has stopped working. Measured
on the emulator: with a handler on the text the tap did nothing at all, and
with the handler removed the same tap shut the card. The words now do the
shutting, through a composition local, since the renderer composes those
paragraphs out of its own component table and there is nothing between the
card and them to pass a parameter through. The link handler is bounded by
the long-press timeout, so holding to select is not a tap.
The other half is the tap that puts a selection away, which used to shut
whatever card the words were in. The container clears the selection from
that same press, milliseconds before the card reads it, so the answer is
taken at composition instead -- what was true when the reader touched the
screen.
Selection colours are the app's own. Material's 40% of primary is a tint of
whatever is behind it, and over the near-black a code block sits on it
composited to a smudge, so selecting a line of code looked like nothing had
happened.

dev.snipme:highlights 1.1.0 found comments before it knew the language and
paired /* with */ by ordinal, so `//` in any URL commented out the rest of
its line, every Rust `#[derive(...)]` greyed out as a comment, a `#` inside
a Kotlin string swallowed the line, and `x '*/a/*'` in shell produced a span
whose end preceded its start -- the one that crashed a card holding
`-path '*/.git/*'`. None of that could be post-processed away, because
comments won over strings before the language was known.
Highlighter.kt is one left-to-right scanner: at each position it is in a
line comment, a block comment, a string, or ordinary code, and every span is
emitted by advancing an index, so spans cannot overlap, arrive out of order
or run backwards. Languages.kt is a `Rules` row per language -- comment
tokens, block comment and whether it nests, the string forms, what opens an
attribute, and the keyword set -- so a new language is a table entry. The
keyword lists came from the library's SyntaxTokens.kt (Apache-2.0, noted at
the table) so nothing that is coloured today turns plain, and RON, TOML,
fish and JSON are coloured for the first time.
HighlighterTest.kt is a new JVM unit test source set -- 24 cases, the
library's mistakes kept as regressions, plus a sweep asserting no span
escapes the code for any language on unterminated and empty input.
AGENTS.md's app line now runs :androidApp:testDebugUnitTest.
Measured on the ai-app emulator, debug build, a ~200-line Kotlin fence sent
into a sandbox session:
before code highlighted: 1, 101.9ms total, 101.9ms mean, 101.9ms worst
after code highlighted: 1, 15.0ms total, 15.0ms mean, 15.0ms worst
and a second fence in the same run took 13.9ms, so that is the steady cost
rather than class loading. stream-bench.sh after the change:
code highlighted: 1, 12.1ms total, 12.1ms mean, 12.1ms worst
markdown reparsed while streaming: 1329, 2130.7ms total, 1.6ms mean, 8.7ms worst
record: one block: 131, 11.4ms total, 0.1ms mean, 0.4ms worst
draw phase 1.21ms per frame, the transcript 0.23ms of it
transcript-bench.sh after: draw phase 1.10ms per frame, the transcript
0.49ms (place 0.48), worst place 4.3ms -- unchanged within run-to-run noise,
as expected, since the scan happens in `warm` and not while drawing.
Looked at on the emulator: a URL inside a Kotlin string, a Rust attribute
with a lifetime and a raw string, a shell line with globs and `$#`, a RON
fence and a TOML fence all colour correctly; a Bash tool card still colours
its command; a plain Python fence -- which this change had no reason to
touch -- looks as it did; an unknown language stays plain; and a fence is
plain while it streams and colours when it freezes.
