vibe tree — the TUI application (PROP-037) visual sign-off
**Purpose.** `vibe tree` is now a full TUI application (PROP-037, TREE-TUI-PLAN
v0.2): a formal visual language (five palettes, glyph vocabulary, rendering
tiers), a reusable `ui::` component library, the tree filter/shape pipeline,
trees in every mode, a keymap-driven action dispatch, a detail card, settings
persistence, and a copy system. The automated suite (241 vibe-cli tests,
`self-check` all green) proves the *model + the rendering fns*; it cannot drive
a real terminal and confirm the TUI *looks and reads right* — that the Unicode
box-drawing aligns, the palette is beautiful and switchable, the windows float,
the card wraps, the modals cascade at depth 2. That is what a human signs off
here.
Unlike MT-01, this TUI **writes user settings** (`~/.vibe/` via the vibe-settings
system, Шаг 2) — palette/tier/mode/sort/shape choices persist. The test mutates
only machine-global user prefs (never project files); back them up or accept the
delta.
- A real interactive terminal (a tty), ideally truecolor (`echo $COLORTERM` →
`truecolor`/`24bit`) so Tier 3 shows; a 256-colour or 16-colour terminal is the
degradation path and is worth a second pass.
- `cargo build -p vibe-cli` (invoke `./target/debug/vibe`).
- Run from the vibevm repo root.
- **Launch + the default look (Rosé Pine, Tier 3).**
./target/debug/vibe tree
- Tree connectors `│├└─` align; fold indicator is `▾`/`▸` (not `+`/`-`); DAG
re-occurrence is `↩` (not `(*)`); flags are `●`/`○` (not `x`/`.`).
- The status line shows ordering · mode · STATIC.md size · package count.
- **Navigation + fold (every mode is a tree).** `↑`/`↓` move, `←`/`→` pan,
`Space` folds a node (▾↔▸), `Enter` opens the detail card.
- **The detail card (§8).** `Enter` on a package → a paper panel, **bold field
headers**, wrapped long values (a 64-char hash wraps, never truncates), a `✕`
close affordance top-right; `Esc`/`✕` closes.
- **Modes (§4) — all trees.** `F3` → the mode menu → SubTables (stacked trees per
load partition, each under a subheader), Tabs (`Shift+←`/`Shift+→` switch
tabs, each tab a tree). Fold a package in SubTables — it folds in every block.
- **Sort & shape (§7.2).** `F2` → a multi-group dialog: Sort by (alphabetical/
topological) + Shape (members-as-roots / load-type-forest / pruned-tree) +
Block order (sub-tables only). Pick a shape — the tree re-forms. The menu
stays open (sticky); `Esc` closes.
- **Search Everywhere (§7.3).** `F1` → the hybrid "All" + per-category tabs;
type a query — packages, card fields, and `vibe.tree` actions match; `Enter`
on an action runs it in place.
- **Copy (§10).** `F6` → copies the current screen (tree or card) as Markdown
to the clipboard (footer flash `✓ copied`). `Shift+F6` → copy-settings
(format Markdown/PNG + dest clipboard/file). PNG → ComingSoon. dest=file →
the FileDest modal (TextField + Save/Cancel) **over** copy-settings (depth-2);
`Esc` returns to copy-settings, not the base.
- **Quit-confirm (§7.4).** At the base, `Esc` → "Really quit?" dialog (not an
instant quit); `Enter` quits, `Esc`/`No` cancels.
- **Switchable palette (§2.2.1, the owner vision).** Quit, set the palette:
# edit directly, or pick it in the F4 settings menu ~/.vibe/settings.toml
[vibe.tree]
palette = "catppuccin-mocha" # or -macchiato / -frappe / -latte (light) / rose-pine
Relaunch — the whole UI (tree, windows, card, menus, search) is now in the
chosen palette; Latte is light. Tier override: `tier = 1` (16-colour) or
`0` (ASCII fallback) to see the degradation.
- **Persistence.** Change mode/sort/shape via the menus; quit; relaunch — the
choices are restored.
Every step reads as described: the Unicode aligns, the palettes are beautiful
and distinct, the windows float, the card wraps, the depth-2 cascade works, and
the five palettes all render. The owner signs the date below.
