* build(xterm): restore the patch regeneration harness and gate it in CI docs/reference/ime-architecture.md says "Never hand-edit the bundles in the patch" and links to docs/reference/xterm-patch-regeneration.md. That doc does not exist, and neither does the harness it describes. Both landed in29117bf776and were deleted by17cfc968cf, a revert of the composition-ownership change, which swept up a build tool and a CI gate as collateral. The rule survived; its enforcement did not. Every xterm patch since has had to hand-edit minified bundles to comply with the surrounding architecture, because everything resolves to lib/xterm.mjs at runtime and under vitest, so a src-only edit is inert. The shipped bundles were therefore not the output of any build, and this restores them to build output. Comparing identifier multisets against a pristine build of the pinned commit finds hand-written names a minifier never emits ($rl, $hp, $tid), const in an otherwise let-only esbuild bundle, !! where the source reads Boolean(), an escaped LRM where esbuild emits the literal, and a return block esbuild collapses to void(...). Every remaining token difference is a minifier local reallocating. The old source patch could not be reused. It described the reverted composition-ownership architecture, so restoring it would have re-applied an abandoned design on top of dropping three accumulated fixes. It is re-derived from the shipped patch instead, and the derivation is a fixed point. Two deliberate departures from the deleted version. Sourcemaps are included rather than deleted, because a live test reads lib/*.map and asserts the mapped version matches the runtime version. The source-patch superset carve-out is gone, so a source hunk the shipped patch cannot name now fails loudly instead of being carved out silently. The doc's claim that the webgl and serialize addons reproduce byte for byte was half wrong. Their ESM output does reproduce at the pinned commit, but both also publish CJS that the root package script never builds, so folding either in needs a build step this harness lacks. Recorded as a blocker rather than a confident sentence. xterm_patch_sync runs the regenerator in --check mode, so a patch that does not match a rebuild of the pinned upstream now fails PR CI. The -diff -text attribute is required, not cosmetic: pnpm hashes the patch byte-for-byte, so a CRLF checkout breaks the install outright. Not verified: the CI job has not run on a real runner, the addon CJS bundles are unreproduced, and the generator is untested on Windows and Linux. * build(xterm): make the regenerator runnable on Windows and drop dead paths Readiness review on the restore found one blocking gap and two cheap cleanups. None of them change the emitted patch, which is byte-identical before and after. The generator could not run on Windows at all. Three sites called npm through execFileSync with shell:false, but npm ships as npm.cmd there, execFile applies no PATHEXT, and since CVE-2024-27980 it refuses a .cmd target without a shell. That matters because this harness arms a blocking gate whose documented remedy is --write, so a Windows contributor who tripped the gate had no remedy except hand-editing a 7MB minified bundle, which is the practice the gate exists to abolish. Four sibling scripts in config/scripts already handle this; the fix follows them and lands in run(), so the manifest-driven build step is covered too. git and tar are real executables in System32 and keep resolving without a shell, which avoids quoting exposure on paths with spaces. deleteGeneratedSourcemaps was unreachable, since the policy is include. Deleting it left "delete" as a legal policy value that nothing honoured, so a manifest asking for it would have silently shipped sourcemaps that do not match the bundle. The enum is narrowed and an unrecognised policy now throws rather than falling through. generatedHunks moved into the test file rather than being dropped; its partition assertion, that generated and source hunks reconstruct the whole patch, is worth keeping. The -text attribute now covers all five patch files. pnpm hashes each of them byte-for-byte, so the CRLF hazard the xterm patch was protected from applies equally to node-pty and the three addons. All five were already LF in the object DB, so this pins existing behaviour. -diff stays scoped to the xterm patch, since the others are readable. The doc's claim that the addons reproduce byte for byte is now dated and marked a one-off measurement rather than an invariant, because nothing re-runs it. Effective lines fall from 591 to 568 against the 600 budget. Still the largest file in config/scripts, and adding a second package to the manifest would need a split first.
