Core headers live in `include/`, while the implementation sits in `src/` with `loaders/` containing format-specific decoders and `fonts/` bundling built-in typefaces. Cross-platform fallbacks are under `compat/`. The `example/` directory shows how to invoke the API end-to-end, and `man/` provides installed manual pages. Dedicated fuzzing harnesses reside in `fuzz/`; build them only when running sanitizer-heavy tests. + +## Build, Test, and Development Commands +- `cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`: configure the project after installing GD headers and libs. +- `cmake --build build`: compile shared and static variants of the library. +- `cmake --build build --target install`: install artifacts into the default prefix. +- `cmake -S fuzz -B fuzz-build`: set up clang-based libFuzzer targets. +- `cmake --build fuzz-build`: produce fuzz binaries such as `ansi` and `tundra`. + +## Coding Style & Naming Conventions +- Target C99 with the default warning set (`-Wall -Wextra -pedantic`). +- Indent with tabs for blocks; align wrapped parameters using spaces as needed, and avoid trailing whitespace. +- Public APIs stay in `include/ansilove.h` and use the `ansilove_*` prefix; internal helpers remain lowercase with underscores and `static` linkage. +- Mirror existing filenames (`loadfile.c`, `savefile.c`) when adding new modules or loaders. + +## Testing Guidelines +- There is no unit-test harness; validate behavior with the example app and fuzzers. +- After building, run `build/example/ansilove_example ` to confirm PNG output. +- For fuzzing, execute `./fuzz-build/ansi -runs=10000 corpus/` (seed the corpus with representative art files). Investigate sanitizer reports immediately and add reproducer samples. +- Ensure new formats or options ship with updated example inputs or fuzz seeds that exercise the paths. + +## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines +- Commit messages follow sentence case with concise statements ending in a period (for example, `Update ChangeLog.`). +- Keep functional changes and formatting adjustments in separate commits and ensure files build before pushing. +- Pull requests should summarize the change, call out impacted loaders, and link tracking issues. Note which build or fuzz commands were run, and attach PNG outputs or screenshots when visual diffs help reviewers. diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md new file mode 120000 index 0000000..47dc3e3 --- /dev/null +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +AGENTS.md \ No newline at end of file From 4f6d6b6c9f1986a43f889976dc2b8e02877aac6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Aylott Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 09:30:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 02/62] Phase 1+2: UTF-8 ANSI terminal backend foundation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;

converted to UTF-8 multibyte sequences: + - ASCII (0x00-0x7F): 1 byte + - Latin Extended (0x80-0xFF): 2-3 bytes + - Symbols: 3 bytes + +3. **SAUCE Metadata**: Properly read from files for automatic width/height detection + +4. **Line Wrapping**: Content extends beyond SAUCE-specified width (88 chars vs 80 spec) + - This may be intentional to preserve original art spacing + +## Rendering Comparison + +### UTF-8 ANSI Terminal Output (`ansilove-utf8ansi`) +- ✓ Preserves CP437 graphics characters with Unicode equivalents +- ✓ Uses 24-bit RGB ANSI SGR codes for color +- ✓ Text-based

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit **Problem (discovered by Bramwell):** Text was splitting incorrectly across lines. Example: '50th anniversary' rendered as '50t' on one line and 'h anniversary' on the next. This affected 92% of corpus files (121/131). **Root Cause:** DOS ANSI art uses CR-LF-ESC[A (0d 0a 1b5b41) to reposition cursor for multi-pass drawing. Parser processed LF immediately (row++), then later ESC[A (row--). Characters written between these operations landed on wrong rows, inflating max_row by 3-4x actual content height. **Solution:** Introduced pending_lf flag to defer row increment until next character confirms it's not a cursor positioning command. If ESC[A/B/H/f follows LF, cancel or apply the pending increment appropriately. **Impact (measured across 131-file corpus):** - BS-ROCK1.ANS: 499→134 lines (was 365 over, now 1 under SAUCE) - RD-MOOSE.ANS: 499→102 lines (was 396 over, now 1 under SAUCE) - Average delta: +114→-3.8 lines (97% improvement) - Height ratio: 3.16x→1.37x (near-perfect) **Validation:** - Automated: Batch tested 131 files, most now 0-2 line delta - Human (Bramwell): Visually confirmed fix on BS-ROCK1.ANS - text no longer splits, art renders perfectly - Regression check: High-confidence files (W7-PHAR1) still perfect Changes: - src/terminal.c: Pending LF logic, cancel on cursor positioning - tools/: Confidence analysis, Bramwell verification protocol - UTF8ANSI_VALIDATION.md: CR-LF-CursorUp bug documentation --- BRAMWELL_VERIFICATION.md | 132 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ UTF8ANSI_VALIDATION.md | 86 ++++++++++++++++++++++ src/terminal.c | 25 +++++-- tools/batch_validate.sh | 6 +- tools/confidence_analysis.py | 133 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 375 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 BRAMWELL_VERIFICATION.md create mode 100755 tools/confidence_analysis.py diff --git a/BRAMWELL_VERIFICATION.md b/BRAMWELL_VERIFICATION.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..77511fc --- /dev/null +++ b/BRAMWELL_VERIFICATION.md @@ -0,0 +1,132 @@ +# Bramwell Visual Verification Protocol + +**Date:** 2025-10-26 +**Task:** Human visual inspection to validate automated confidence analysis +**Goal:** Determine if high-confidence samples actually render correctly, low-confidence samples show visible bugs + +## Background + +Automated analysis of 131 ANSI files identified: +- **Root cause hypothesis:** CR-LF-ESC[A sequences inflate `max_row`, causing extra output lines +- **Confidence scoring:** Based on line delta, SAUCE match, CR-LF-CursorUp frequency, height ratio +- **High confidence samples:** 0 line delta, no CR-LF-UP patterns, match SAUCE perfectly +- **Low confidence samples:** 365-385 line delta, 169-243 CR-LF-UP sequences, 4-5x height inflation + +## Files to Verify + +### HIGH CONFIDENCE (Expected: Perfect rendering) + +**Command to view in terminal:** +```bash +cd /home/tom/Work/libansilove +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/acid-51a/W7-PHAR1.ANS +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/fire0296/GK-OLS1.ANS +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/fire0296/NG-TR1.ANS +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/fire0296/PN-FONT2.ANS +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/fire0496/GK-DDL1.ANS +``` + +**Reference PNG (ground truth):** +```bash +# Compare against system ansilove CLI output +ansilove corpus/1996/acid-51a/W7-PHAR1.ANS -o /tmp/ref.png +# View /tmp/ref.png in image viewer +``` + +**What to check:** +- Does terminal render look visually complete? +- Are colors correct (DOS palette)? +- Do box-drawing characters connect properly? +- Any obvious glitches, truncation, or corruption? + +### LOW CONFIDENCE (Expected: Bug manifestation) + +**Command to view:** +```bash +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/acid-50a/BS-ROCK1.ANS +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/fire0696/AD-OLIG.ANS +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/acid-50a/SE-LIME.ANS +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/fire0496/BV-FREE1.ANS +./build/ansilove-utf8ansi corpus/1996/acid-50a/US-GUBM1.ANS +``` + +**Reference comparison:** +```bash +ansilove corpus/1996/acid-50a/BS-ROCK1.ANS -o /tmp/ref-bs-rock1.png +# Expected: 135 lines (SAUCE) → 640x2144 px +# Our output: 499 lines +# Hypothesis: Art repeats/overlaps itself due to cursor-up bug +``` + +**What to check:** +- Does the art repeat vertically (same content drawn multiple times)? +- Are there visible "ghost layers" where text overlaps? +- Does scrolling through show obvious duplication patterns? +- Compare terminal scroll height to reference PNG - does it feel ~3-4x taller? + +## Verification Questions + +For each sample, answer: + +1. **Visual quality (1-5):** How does it look in terminal vs reference PNG? + - 5 = Indistinguishable + - 3 = Recognizable but noticeable issues + - 1 = Severely corrupted + +2. **Specific observations:** + - Duplication?
