What the mounted story proves

  1. 01

    TokenField

    Representative 120×40 terminal state.

  2. 02

    Passive paint

    No keyboard or pointer action is claimed by this representative story.

  3. 03

    Evidence stays explicit

    3 covered · 8 partial · 5 missing axes.

03 · Implement

Install, then start from exact code

Install

cargo add termrock --git https://github.com/tailrocks/termrock.git --rev 5283c2acf9154d0cfcd37b1ffe821c00faf90ea2

Add TermRock once. Keep domain effects in the host application.

Advanced guidance

Authored implementation guidance

Purpose. Recipients, filters, tags, file mentions, command arguments — an owned token collection with a draft input. Hosts own async completion menus.

Focusroving on chipsdraft ↔ tokens one surface

Focus model

One host Tab stop for the field. Inside:

  • Draft — type; Left at caret start moves to last token
  • Token — Left/Right; optional remove part without Tab
  • Empty draft Backspace removes previous token
  • Alt+Left/Right reorders focused token
Ownership boundary

TermRock owns reusable terminal rendering and interaction state. The host owns domain data, policy, persistence, authorization, and side effects.

Evidence status

3 covered, 8 partial, and 5 missing contract axes. Missing evidence is not a behavior claim.
