This commit implements the Sideline/Mainline split with a clean plugin architecture:
## Core Changes
### Sideline Framework (New Directory)
- Created directory containing the reusable pipeline framework
- Moved pipeline core, controllers, adapters, and registry to
- Moved display system to
- Moved effects system to
- Created plugin system with security and compatibility management in
- Created preset pack system with ASCII art encoding in
- Added default font (Corptic) to
- Added terminal ANSI constants to
### Mainline Application (Updated)
- Created for Mainline stage component registration
- Updated to register Mainline stages at startup
- Updated as a compatibility shim re-exporting from sideline
### Terminology Consistency
- : Base class for all pipeline components (sources, effects, displays, cameras)
- : Base class for distributable plugin packages (was )
- : Base class for visual effects (was )
- Backward compatibility aliases maintained for existing code
## Key Features
- Plugin discovery via entry points and explicit registration
- Security permissions system for plugins
- Compatibility management with semantic version constraints
- Preset pack system for distributable configurations
- Default font bundled with Sideline (Corptic.otf)
## Testing
- Updated tests to register Mainline stages before discovery
- All StageRegistry tests passing
Note: This is a major refactoring that separates the framework (Sideline) from the application (Mainline), enabling Sideline to be used by other applications.
- Added PositioningMode enum (ABSOLUTE, RELATIVE, MIXED)
- Created PositionStage class with configurable positioning modes
- Updated terminal display to support positioning parameter
- Updated PipelineParams to include positioning field
- Updated DisplayStage to pass positioning to terminal display
- Added documentation in docs/positioning-analysis.md
Positioning modes:
- ABSOLUTE: Each line has cursor positioning codes (\033[row;1H)
- RELATIVE: Lines use newlines (no cursor codes, better for scrolling)
- MIXED: Base content uses newlines, effects use absolute positioning (default)
Usage:
# In pipeline or preset:
positioning = "absolute" # or "relative" or "mixed"
# Via command line (future):
--positioning absolute
- Change line 477 in controller.py to use self.config.display or "terminal"
- Previously hardcoded "terminal" ignored config and CLI arguments
- Now auto-injection respects the validated display configuration
fix(app): Add warnings for auto-selected display
- Add warning in pipeline_runner.py when --display not specified
- Add warning in main.py when --pipeline-display not specified
- Both warnings suggest using null display for headless mode
feat(completion): Add bash/zsh/fish completion scripts
- completion/mainline-completion.bash - bash completion
- completion/mainline-completion.zsh - zsh completion
- completion/mainline-completion.fish - fish completion
- Provides completions for --display, --pipeline-source, --pipeline-effects,
--pipeline-camera, --preset, --theme, --viewport, and other flags
- Import MessageOverlayStage in pipeline_runner.py
- Add message overlay stage when preset.enable_message_overlay is True
- Add overlay stage in both initial construction and preset change handler
- Use config.NTFY_TOPIC and config.MESSAGE_DISPLAY_SECS for configuration
- Add can_hot_swap() function to Pipeline class
- Add cleanup_stage() method to Pipeline class
- Fix remove_stage() to rebuild execution order after removal
- Extend ui_panel.execute_command() with docstrings for mutation commands
- Update WebSocket handler to support pipeline mutation commands
- Add _handle_pipeline_mutation() function for command routing
- Add comprehensive integration tests in test_pipeline_mutation_commands.py
- Update AGENTS.md with mutation API documentation
Issue: #35 (Pipeline Mutation API)
Acceptance criteria met:
- ✅ can_hot_swap() checker for stage compatibility
- ✅ cleanup_stage() cleans up specific stages
- ✅ remove_stage_safe() rebuilds execution order (via remove_stage)
- ✅ Unit tests for all operations
- ✅ Integration with WebSocket commands
- ✅ Documentation in AGENTS.md
- Implements pipeline hot-rebuild with state preservation (issue #43)
- Adds auto-injection of MVP stages for missing capabilities
- Adds radial camera mode for polar coordinate scanning
- Adds afterimage and motionblur effects using framebuffer history
- Adds comprehensive acceptance tests for camera modes and pipeline rebuild
- Updates presets.toml with new effect configurations
Related to: #35 (Pipeline Mutation API epic)
Closes: #43, #44, #45
- Add save_state/restore_state methods to CameraStage
- Add save_state/restore_state methods to DisplayStage
- Extend Pipeline._copy_stage_state() to preserve camera/display state
- Add save_state/restore_state methods to UIPanel for UI state preservation
- Update pipeline_runner to preserve UI state across preset changes
Camera state preserved:
- Position (x, y)
- Mode (feed, scroll, horizontal, etc.)
- Speed, zoom, canvas dimensions
- Internal timing state
Display state preserved:
- Initialization status
- Dimensions
- Reuse flag for display reinitialization
UI Panel state preserved:
- Stage enabled/disabled status
- Parameter values
- Selected stage and focused parameter
- Scroll position
This enables manual/event-driven rebuilds when inlet-outlet connections change,
while preserving all relevant state across pipeline mutations.
- Replace estimate_block_height (PIL-based) with estimate_simple_height (word wrap)
- Update viewport filter tests to match new height-based filtering (~4 items vs 24)
- Fix CI task duplication in mise.toml (remove redundant depends)
