Owner

Five items the owner picked from the first-contact analysis of the window - the one written from a tester who opens this program for the first time. The three it turned down (opening on Presets, txt/1kb as the starting choice, renaming Preview) are recorded as refused in that document rather than left to be reopened.

No generated file changes in any way. No colour, spacing or control shape was touched - and that is checked rather than claimed: the Presets screen is not in the diff of the 23 restamped screens.

What a person sees

After a run, the window says where the manifest went, and opens it.

3 files written. Manifest: manifest.json
[ Preview ] [ Generate ] [ Open folder ] [ Open manifest ]

The command line has printed manifest: <path> since there was a manifest. The window said 3 files written. and nothing else, so somebody generating from a window got a file in the folder nobody told them about - a D1 parity gap of the kind that goes quietly, because nothing the engine can do was missing, only the sentence about it. Neither button appears after a preview, because a preview writes nothing.

Generate means the same thing on every screen. Several batches opened with Batch name and Size empty under a red star each, so the button that works straight away on Single batch turned you down on the third tab. Only those two - the settings a run actually refuses - are filled in. A count, a kind of case and an expected outcome left alone still reach the run unstated, which is what lets the manifest record that you did not state them. A batch you add yourself still arrives empty, because two batches under one name is refused.

The size switch has a name. One size | A range | Around a limit stood between two fields with nothing over it. It reads How the size is given now, with the explanation button every other setting has.

The About screen says what to do with the program, in three steps, above the licence rather than under it.

The first screen says what this tool gives you that a file generator does not - the sentence under Single batch named the mechanism and now names the manifest.

Measured rather than assumed

  • .json has no association of its own in this machine's registry and the manifest still opened, in the editor registered for it. What is not measured: a machine where nothing at all handles .json.
  • The action bar with five buttons fits a window 620 px wide.
  • The catalogue's new "list whose items do not fit on one line" state did not wrap in its first version - 504 px inside 777 px of room - so it was a state that could not show the thing it was named after. Found in the stored tree, fixed.

Guards

Six new, each asking the disk or the drawn screen rather than asking the window what it decided: the manifest's name is compared with the file really in the directory, and the button is pressed and its destination compared with the same path. Two of them exist to stop the other four being satisfied cheaply - a preview must name no manifest and offer none, and only the first batch may arrive filled in.

🔴 One existing guard stopped reaching the state it guards, because of this change. TestEveryRefusalAboutABatchMarksTheBoxOfThatBatch assumed the first batch arrives empty; with it filled in, the case that puts the empty batch first had nothing to refuse. It creates the state it asks about now and asserts it reached it.

The runner went one method and one field past its ceilings when the manifest got a button. Ceilings are ratchets, so what a finished run leaves behind moved to a type of its own - and mostMethods came down from 26 to 25.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Completed runs now display the saved manifest name and provide an Open manifest action.
    • Added “How to use it” guidance to the About screen.
    • Added labels and explanations for the three batch size modes: one size, a range, or values around a limit.
    • Initial batch forms now include consistent example values, while additional batches start blank.
  • Documentation

    • Improved generation descriptions to explain the manifest and its expected system behavior.
    • Updated catalogue examples and changelog wording for clearer guidance.

Five items the owner picked from the first-contact analysis of the window.
The three it turned down - opening on Presets, txt/1kb as the starting
choice, renaming Preview - are recorded as refused in section 5 of that
document rather than left to be reopened.

WHY each one, and what was rejected with it:

The manifest is the product and the window never mentioned it. Measured:
"tfg generate" prints "manifest: <path>" and the window said "3 files
written." and nothing else, so somebody generating from a window got a file
in the folder nobody told them about - a D1 parity gap of the kind that is
lost quietly, because nothing the engine can do was missing. The line now
names it and a second button opens it. Measured on this machine: .json has
no association of its own in the registry and the manifest still opened, in
the editor registered for it. The action bar with five buttons still fits a
window 620 px wide.

Generate refused on the third tab and worked on the first. Only the two
settings a run REFUSES are filled in - a batch name and a size. Rejected:
filling the count as well, which would have matched the other screen and
broken O109 and untouchable rule 5, because a value typed in is a value
stated and this screen has to be able to leave one unstated. Only the FIRST
batch is filled: two batches under one name is a refusal, which is why a
duplicated batch leaves its name empty too.

The size switch had no name from the day it replaced three radio circles.
The guard for it asks the whole class rather than that one control, so a
control added tomorrow with no name over it is caught by being on the form.

About gave the thesis one sentence and ran into the licence. Three steps
above it, in the same section component every other block uses.

The runner went one method and one field past its ceilings when the manifest
got a button. Ceilings are ratchets, so what a finished run leaves behind
moved to a type of its own - and mostMethods came DOWN from 26 to 25.

TestEveryRefusalAboutABatchMarksTheBoxOfThatBatch assumed the first batch
arrives empty and went red honestly the moment it stopped. It creates the
state it asks about now and asserts it reached it, which is the only repair
that survives the next change of starting values.

No colour, spacing or control shape was touched, and that is checked rather
than claimed: the Presets screen is not in the diff of 23 restamped screens.
No generated file changes in any way.

Initial batch fields use files and 10mb. The size-mode selector has a label and details for all three modes. Guard tests validate labels and initial values.
About and catalogue content
internal/gui/window/about.go, internal/gui/catalogue/*, internal/gui/text/*, internal/guard/aboutuse_test.go, internal/guard/testdata/screens/about.xml, internal/guard/testdata/screens/catalogue.xml
The About screen includes three usage steps before the licence section. Catalogue examples include named segmented controls, wrapped list content, and manifest-focused descriptions.

Full details: Clear User-Facing Text

Explanation

The new About step uses inconsistent and incomplete outcome terminology. HowToUseRead says “accept it, turn it away, or leave the answer to the application's own policy,” while the GUI and manifest use the exact outcomes accept, reject, sanitize, and unspecified (recipe.Outcomes() and manifest constants). The new text omits sanitize and renames reject and unspecified, so users can misunderstand the available outcomes.

Resolution

Replace HowToUseRead with wording that uses the product vocabulary and lists every outcome, for example: “Point your test at the manifest. For each file, it records whether the system under test should accept, reject, or sanitize it, or whether the outcome is unspecified because it depends on the application's policy.” Audit nearby manifest explanations and use manifest consistently instead of switching between manifest and record when referring to the same document.

Use the localized size-mode strings.

These literals duplicate the application label and options. The catalogue can drift from the real control and can show English text under another locale.

Use text.FieldSizeWay(), text.SizeWayExact(), text.SizeWayRange() and text.SizeWayBoundary().

Proposed fix

Report a failed manifest open without changing the folder fallback.

openPath discards errors from filepath.Abs and fyne.CurrentApp().OpenURL. If Fyne cannot open the manifest URL, the manifest action can do nothing without an explanation. Do not tie this specifically to missing .json associations: the source records a successful editor open despite no registry association.

Handle the returned error in desktop.OpenFile with a localized message that identifies the manifest and tells the user to open the output folder. Keep Host.OpenFile and the offer callback as func(string) unless a reporting callback is threaded through all three screens. The folder button remains available when the run produced output, so this is a minor workflow failure.

Comment thread internal/gui/text/screens.go Outdated
…n words

From an outside review of #125, and the remark was true and smaller than the
defect. Measured: internal/recipe declares FOUR outcomes - accept, reject,
sanitize, unspecified - and the third step of "How to use it" named two of
them, invented a third word for one of those ("turn it away" for reject) and
left sanitize out altogether. The remark was about the word. The defect was
the list.

It is pitfall 15 in its plainest form: a list copied by hand out of a closed
set, with nothing comparing it to the source. A fifth outcome would have left
that sentence untrue and nothing in the tree would have said so.

Fixed twice over. The sentence names all four with the spelling the manifest
uses - sanitize, not sanitise, because that is the value rather than a
preference in the surrounding prose. And the new guard reads recipe.Outcomes()
from the REGISTRY and asks that every outcome it declares is named on the
screen, so a fifth is caught by being declared. Mutation: sanitize dropped
from the sentence - caught.

guitext_test.go leaves notYetJustified, because the verdict written for the
second remark cites it. That list may only shrink.

The other two remarks are recorded as FALSE in docs/REGRESSION.md, each with
the measurement that settles it rather than with an opinion.

Second push: the one true remark from the review, fixed wider than it was reported, plus verdicts for the two that were not.

Remark about "turn it away" — TRUE, and the defect was larger than the remark. Measured: internal/recipe declares four outcomes (accept, reject, sanitize, unspecified). The third step named two of them, invented a third word for one, and left sanitize out altogether. The remark was about a word. The defect was a list copied by hand out of a closed set with nothing comparing it to the source, so a fifth outcome would have left that sentence untrue in silence. Fixed twice over: the sentence names all four in the manifest's own spelling, and a new guard reads recipe.Outcomes() from the registry and requires every one of them on the screen. Mutation: sanitize dropped — caught.

Remark about the catalogue's literals — FALSE, and it is a recorded decision. The internal/gui/catalogue package imports internal/gui/text exactly zero times, and the guard for words outside the text package excludes it by name, with the owner's decision of 2026-09-15 written beside it: the catalogue's captions are English for whoever builds the window, it opens with --catalogue and stands on no tab. Its seven files carry 320 literals of that kind. Taking the suggestion would make one page the only place mixing two sources of words.

Remark about the swallowed error from OpenFile — FALSE on this platform, measured rather than reasoned. Fyne on Windows runs rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler and returns what cmd.Run() returns. Measured 2026-09-23 on this machine: a file whose extension nothing handles — exit code 0. A file that does not exist at all — exit code 0. The error the remark asks to handle is not returned in either case it is worried about. What is true and stays open is that xdg-open and open do answer with an exit code, so the swallow is not equally silent everywhere — and that question covers all three hand-offs to the desktop (Donate, Open folder, Open manifest), which is a decision recorded on 2026-08-25 and 2026-09-07 rather than something to change for one of the three.

Verdicts for all three, including the true one, are written down in docs/REGRESSION.md.


On the red race detector check: it is not a data race. The log holds no DATA RACE line and no failing test. It ends with The runner has received a shutdown signal and exit code 143. The job ran 42m38s and the package did not finish inside its -timeout 40m. The job is conditional and had not run since before the two changes that landed before this one, so it was measuring a tree several changes old — it went 26m29s on main at 07:04 that morning.

This branch's share is measured and small: the seven new guards cost 33s under -race, and the guard that could plausibly have been slowed by a form that now settles is 4.92s here against 4.88s on the base. A cut to the most expensive sweep was tried and rejected by its own guard — zip and targz cannot hit sizes just above their minimums, so the random spread is what outweighs the refusals in that guard's own ratio check. The measurements and three options are in docs/REGRESSION.md. race detector is not among the required checks.

…ield is reported rather than dereferenced

The batch screen opens with its first batch filled in since #125, so the
two scenes named recipe-refused pressed Preview on a recipe with nothing
wrong in it and stored a successful preview under that name. The scenes
now empty the first batch, and the runner refuses to store or compare a
picture named after a refusal whose tree carries no refusal. Four
comments still describing fields two to a row now describe the grid.

…t offer their fix (#126)

* gui: fields in four columns, groups that say what they are (prototype)

A prototype of a new layout, built round by round from the running
window. Guards, stored screens and the catalogue are not updated yet.

- parts.Grid lays a section's fields in four columns, each field taking
  the fewest columns that hold it and filling them. A refusal is drawn
  under its row, across it, instead of inside a 185 px column.
- A group of settings that folds away is framed, with a rail in the
  colour of what it is about: a format's settings, a damage's, notes.
- Every section of a work screen folds; a refusal opens the one it is
  about, and the state survives the batch screen rebuilding.
- A box to tick carries its name beside it, wherever it comes from.
- Lists are ordinary text with the marker on the first line (O235).
- Buttons in a row stand GapButtons apart; Donate is quiet words, and
  on About it moved into the Support card.
- A menu marks the keyboard with a ring only, not a fill.
- The run line counts formats past three; a placeholder that is a
  default says so; the About screen wraps the licence and tabulates
  carried code.

* gui: a refusal offers its own fix, and says where the directory is (prototype)

- A size below what a format can make carries its minimum as a number,
  so the refusal under the size box offers a button that puts that
  exact size in the box. Nothing is filled in by itself.
- A refusal about what is already in the output directory - a file or
  a manifest the run will not write over, or another run writing there -
  is placed under the output directory box instead of a one line strip
  at the foot, with a button that opens the directory. Placed by the
  window: the engine's address for it is unchanged, because the command
  line reads that address into its machine readable reports.
- A refusal takes down "Working out what this would cost...", which a
  preview or a Generate refused while planning left standing over it.
- A field asks the grid for its width without its refusal, so a long
  sentence or the button under it no longer widens its column.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

* gui: the menu arrow in the accent; guards, catalogue and stored screens for the new layout

- A menu draws its arrow in the primary colour. A menu and a box to type
  in were the same to the pixel; of three ways shown side by side in the
  running window the owner chose this one.
- Seven guards for what the layout promises: short fields share a row a
  column each, a size refusal offers the smallest size and pressing it puts
  that size in the box, a refusal about the directory stands under it with
  the way to it, a refusal stands under its row across it, a menu's arrow
  is in the accent, a folded section opens for a refusal inside it, and a
  group of settings wears the colour of its kind.
- Guards that described the old layout say what the new one promises: an
  arrow on the edge the fields start on, a number one column wide, boxes
  on the grid's columns, a box to tick named beside it, the licence word
  for word rather than line for line, a default worded as one.
- The catalogue draws the grid, a refusal under a row, a fix offered, a
  box to tick level with a field, the kinds of group and the table of
  three columns. The stored screens are written again.
- Placing a refusal moved out of refuse into a function, and three
  functions of the prototype were flattened, so the depth ceilings hold.

The batch screen opens with its first batch filled in since #125, so the

now empty the first batch, and the runner refuses to store or compare a

* gui: no smallest-size button under a limit, where it led back to the same refusal

Under "Around a limit" the set is built one byte below the limit, so a
limit of 74 for a PNG refuses the file of 73, and the button put 74 back
in the box: the same refusal again. The button now stands only under a box
that holds the refused size itself. Raising the limit by the shortfall was
tried and walked through PNG's gap between 74 and 86 B one press at a time.

* gui: the window cannot be narrowed until Add a batch covers Preview

The bar laid its rail over the centred buttons in a stack, and a stack's
minimum is the larger of its two children rather than what they need side
by side. From about 588 px wide on this branch (495 px on main) Add a batch
covered Preview, and at 495 Preview was gone. The bar's minimum is now the
buttons plus twice the rail and a gap, so the window stops there.

* guard: the refusal checks of the stored pictures in a file of their own

screenpixels_test.go passed the shape gate's ceiling once the scenes of a
refusal learned to empty the batch and to prove they refuse. The two
helpers that ask a scene's state rather than its pixels move out.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

* guard: a guard of its own asks that every picture named after a refusal shows one

The stored pictures ask it before they compare or write, but they render
every screen, and the mutation runner stops them at its memory ceiling
before they finish - so the check could not be proven there. Six scenes
fit under the ceiling.
