Changed

Async HTTP Now Optional: HTTP support is disabled by default to reduce dependencies
- Enable with: cmake -DLOKI_ENABLE_HTTP=ON ..
- Requires: libcurl when enabled
- Compile-time guarded: Uses #ifdef LOKI_ENABLE_HTTP throughout codebase
- Affected files: CMakeLists.txt, src/lua.c, src/editor.c, src/session.c, include/loki/lua.h
- HTTP tests only built/run when HTTP is enabled
- Removed stale HTTP declarations from include/loki/core.h

Fixed

Build Fix for Linux: Fixed compilation failure when building with strict C99 mode (CMAKE_C_EXTENSIONS OFF)
- Problem: pthread_rwlock_t type unknown when <uv.h> was included in src/async_queue.c
- Root Cause: POSIX types require feature test macros to be defined before including system headers when compiling with -std=c99 (strict mode without GNU extensions)
- Solution: Added #define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200809L before includes in src/async_queue.c, consistent with src/core.c
- Files Modified: src/async_queue.c

Added

HTTP Support Restored: Re-implemented async HTTP functionality that was removed during architecture refactor
- New Module Structure:
  - Created src/http.c (470 lines) and src/http.h - dedicated HTTP module
  - Clean separation from core editor code
- Security Hardening:
  - URL validation: Only http:// and https:// schemes allowed
  - URL length limit: Maximum 2048 characters
  - Control character filtering in URLs
  - Request body size limit: 5MB maximum
  - Response size limit: 10MB maximum
  - Rate limiting: 60 requests per minute
  - Concurrent request limit: 10 simultaneous requests
- Lua API: loki.async_http(url, method, body, headers, callback)
  - Non-blocking HTTP GET/POST requests
  - Callback receives table with status, body, and error fields
- Integration:
  - Added loki_lua_bind_http() function in lua.c
  - Re-enabled bind_http option in loki_lua_bootstrap()
  - HTTP tests re-enabled in CMakeLists.txt
- Testing: Both test_http_security and test_http_simple passing (19/19 total tests)
- Files Added: src/http.c, src/http.h
- Files Modified: src/lua.c, include/loki/lua.h, CMakeLists.txt

[0.5.0]

Added

Auto-Indentation Module: Comprehensive automatic indentation for improved coding experience
- New Module Structure:
  - Created src/loki_indent.c (~280 lines) and src/loki_indent.h (public API)
  - Opaque indent_config structure for clean encapsulation
  - Test-only accessor functions for internal state verification
- Core Features:
  - Indent Preservation: Automatically copies indentation from previous line when pressing Enter
  - Smart Auto-Indent: Adds extra indent level after opening braces {, brackets [, and parentheses (
  - Electric Dedent: Automatically dedents when typing closing }, ], ) on whitespace-only lines
  - Bracket Matching: Finds matching opening bracket to determine correct dedent target
  - Nested Brace Support: Correctly handles deeply nested code structures
- Indentation Detection:
  - Level Detection: Counts leading whitespace in spaces (tabs converted based on width)
  - Style Detection: Heuristic-based detection of tabs vs spaces (samples up to 100 lines)
  - Mixed Indentation: Handles files with both tabs and spaces
- Configuration Options:
  - Enable/Disable: Toggle auto-indent on or off (default: enabled)
  - Indent Width: Configurable width from 1-8 spaces (default: 4)
  - Tab/Space Style: Auto-detected or manually configured
  - Electric Dedent Toggle: Can disable electric behavior independently
- Implementation Details:
  - Integration Points:
    - editor_insert_newline() calls indent_apply() after creating new line
    - editor_insert_char() calls indent_electric_char() after inserting character
    - editor_ctx_init() calls indent_init() to set up defaults
    - editor_ctx_free() cleans up indent_config
  - Smart Trailing Whitespace: Ignores trailing spaces when detecting line-ending braces
  - Respects Disabled State: Both general and electric-specific disable flags honored
  - Efficient Deletion: Uses editor_del_char() for proper backspace behavior
- API Functions (8 total):
  - indent_init(ctx) - Initialize with sensible defaults
  - indent_get_level(ctx, row) - Get indentation level in spaces
  - indent_detect_style(ctx) - Detect tabs vs spaces heuristically
  - indent_apply(ctx) - Apply indentation to current line
  - indent_electric_char(ctx, c) - Handle electric dedent for closing chars
  - indent_set_enabled(ctx, enabled) - Enable/disable auto-indent
  - indent_set_width(ctx, width) - Set indentation width
  - Plus 3 test-only accessors for verification
- Comprehensive Testing:
  - 25 unit tests covering all features and edge cases:
    - 5 tests for indent_get_level() (spaces, tabs, mixed, stops at content, empty)
    - 3 tests for indent_detect_style() (tabs, spaces, empty file)
    - 2 tests for configuration (width, enabled state)
    - 7 tests for indent_apply() (basic, after brace/bracket/paren, trailing space, first line, disabled)
    - 8 tests for indent_electric_char() (dedent brace/bracket/paren, content before cursor, disabled, non-closing, nested, mismatched)
  - All tests pass (25/25, 100% pass rate)
  - Zero regressions: Full test suite passes (12/12 test suites)
- Files Modified:
  - Added: src/loki_indent.c, src/loki_indent.h, tests/test_indent.c
  - Modified: src/loki_core.c (added integration calls), src/loki_internal.h (added indent_config field and editor_insert_row declaration), CMakeLists.txt (added module to build)
- Build Quality:
  - Zero compiler warnings
  - Clean compilation with -Wall -Wextra -pedantic
  - Proper opaque structure usage for encapsulation
- User Experience:
  - Seamless integration with existing editor workflow
  - Professional coding experience similar to Vim/VS Code
  - Works across all supported languages (C, Python, Lua, JavaScript, etc.)
  - No configuration required - sensible defaults work immediately

[0.4.8]

Changed

Syntax Highlighting Module Extraction: Extracted syntax highlighting from core to dedicated module
- New Module Structure:
  - Created src/loki_syntax.c (290 lines) and src/loki_syntax.h (public API)
  - All syntax highlighting logic now isolated in dedicated module
- Functions Extracted (7 functions moved from loki_core.c):
  - syntax_is_separator() - Character separator detection (was is_separator())
  - syntax_row_has_open_comment() - Multi-line comment state tracking (was editor_row_has_open_comment())
  - syntax_name_to_code() - String to HL_* constant mapping (was hl_name_to_code())
  - syntax_update_row() - Main syntax highlighting logic (was editor_update_syntax())
  - syntax_format_color() - RGB color escape sequence formatting (was editor_format_color())
  - syntax_select_for_filename() - File extension to syntax mapping (was editor_select_syntax_highlight())
  - syntax_init_default_colors() - Default color initialization (was init_default_colors())
- Core Size Reduction:
  - loki_core.c: 1,152 → 891 lines (261 lines removed, 22.6% reduction)
  - First time below 1,000 line milestone for core module
- Architecture Benefits:
  - Separation of Concerns: Syntax highlighting is clearly a feature, not core infrastructure
  - Modularity: Can be compiled out for minimal builds or replaced with alternative highlighters
  - Extensibility: Future enhancements (tree-sitter, LSP semantic tokens) stay in module
  - Testability: Easier to unit test syntax highlighting in isolation
- Integration Points:
  - Updated all call sites in loki_core.c, loki_editor.c, loki_languages.c
  - Updated test files (test_core.c, test_syntax.c) to use new function names
  - Added include to loki_syntax.h in all files using syntax functions
- Files Modified:
  - Added: src/loki_syntax.c, src/loki_syntax.h
  - Modified: src/loki_core.c, src/loki_editor.c, src/loki_languages.c, tests/test_core.c, tests/test_syntax.c, CMakeLists.txt
- Testing: All 11 test suites passing (100% pass rate)
- Build: Zero compiler warnings, clean compilation
- Verification: Manual testing confirms syntax highlighting working correctly for all languages

Added

Tab Completion in Lua REPL: Intelligent tab completion for Lua identifiers and table fields
- Activation: Press TAB while typing in the Lua REPL (Ctrl-L to open)
- Completion Types:
  - Global identifiers: Type lo<TAB> completes to loki
  - Table fields: Type loki.<TAB> shows all loki functions
  - Partial completion: Type loki.st<TAB> completes to loki.status
  - Nested tables: Supports completion through multiple levels (e.g., editor.render<TAB>)
- Behavior:
  - Single match: Automatically completes the full identifier
  - Multiple matches: Completes to common prefix and shows up to 5 matches in status bar
  - No matches: Does nothing (no error message)
- Implementation:
  - Extracts word being typed from REPL input buffer
  - Splits on dot (.) to handle table.field syntax
  - Queries Lua global table (_G) or specific table for matching keys
  - Finds longest common prefix for multiple matches
  - Updates input buffer with completion
- Example Session:
```
> lo<TAB>           → loki
> loki.<TAB>        → status: loki.status, loki.get_lines, loki.get_cursor, ... (15 more)
> loki.st<TAB>      → loki.status
> editor.<TAB>      → status: editor.count_lines, editor.cursor, editor.timestamp, ...
> markdown.pa<TAB>  → markdown.parse
```
- Features:
  - Supports alphanumeric, underscore, and dot characters in identifiers
  - Handles up to 100 matches (shows first 5 in status bar)
  - Works with user-defined globals and loaded modules
  - Efficient single-pass Lua table iteration
- Files Modified:
  - src/loki_lua.c: Added lua_repl_complete_input() function (129 lines)
  - src/loki_lua.c: Added TAB case to lua_repl_handle_keypress() switch statement
- Testing:

Fixed

Visual Mode Selection Highlighting: Fixed selection highlighting not working due to coordinate system mismatch
- Problem: Selection coordinates stored in screen space (cx, cy) but rendering used file coordinates (rowoff+cy, coloff+cx)
- Root Cause: When entering visual mode (line 178-183 of loki_modal.c), selection was initialized with screen coordinates:
```
ctx->sel_start_x = ctx->cx;        // Screen coordinate
ctx->sel_start_y = ctx->cy;        // Screen coordinate
```
  But rendering code (line 860 of loki_core.c) checked file coordinates:
```
is_selected(ctx, filerow, ctx->coloff + j)  // File coordinates
```
- Solution: Changed selection to use file coordinates throughout
  - Updated visual mode entry to store: ctx->coloff + ctx->cx, ctx->rowoff + ctx->cy
  - Updated selection extension during movement: ctx->coloff + ctx->cx, ctx->rowoff + ctx->cy
  - Rendering code unchanged (already used file coordinates)
- Result: Selected text now properly highlighted with reverse video (inverted colors)
- Testing:
  - Updated 3 existing tests to handle file coordinate system
  - Added new test modal_visual_selection_highlighting verifying is_selected() logic
  - All 11/11 test suites passing
- Files Modified:
  - src/loki_modal.c: Lines 180-184 (visual mode entry), lines 343-368 (selection updates during movement)
  - tests/test_modal.c: Updated 3 tests, added 1 new test (modal_visual_selection_highlighting)
- User Experience: Visual mode now works as expected - text highlights as you extend selection with h/j/k/l or arrow keys

Added

Multiple Buffers Module: Complete implementation of tab-based multi-file editing
- Core Features:
  - Edit up to 16 files simultaneously in independent buffers
  - Each buffer maintains independent state (content, cursor, undo history, filename, dirty flag)
  - Tab bar shows buffer numbers [1] [2] [3] at top of screen
  - Current buffer highlighted with reverse video
  - Tab bar auto-hides when only one buffer is open
- Keybindings:
  - Ctrl-T - Create new empty buffer
  - Ctrl-X n - Switch to next buffer (circular)
  - Ctrl-X p - Switch to previous buffer (circular)
  - Ctrl-X k - Close current buffer (with unsaved changes warning)
  - Ctrl-X 1-9 - Jump directly to buffer by number
- Architecture:
  - New module: src/loki_buffers.c (426 lines) and src/loki_buffers.h (118 lines)
  - Buffer management with array of buffer_entry_t structures (MAX_BUFFERS = 16)
  - Each buffer wraps an editor_ctx_t with metadata (ID, display name, active flag)
  - Shared terminal state (screencols, screenrows, rawmode, Lua state, colors)
  - Independent undo system per buffer (1000 operations, 10MB limit each)
- User Experience:
  - Simplified tab bar showing only buffer numbers (no filenames to avoid clutter)
  - Filename and modified status shown in bottom status bar
  - Tab bar positioned at top of screen (line 1)
  - Editor content area adjusted to account for tab bar (one less row when visible)
  - Cursor properly offset to avoid tab area
  - Tab line cleared to end to prevent visual artifacts
- Buffer Operations:
  - buffer_create(filename) - Create new buffer (empty or from file)
  - buffer_close(buffer_id, force) - Close buffer with unsaved changes check
  - buffer_switch(buffer_id) - Switch to specific buffer by ID
  - buffer_next() / buffer_prev() - Circular buffer navigation
  - buffer_get_current() - Get current buffer's editor context
  - buffer_count() - Get number of open buffers
  - buffer_is_modified(buffer_id) - Check for unsaved changes
- Implementation Details:
  - Empty buffers initialized with one empty row for proper display
  - Display names cached and updated when filename changes (via :w filename)
  - Terminal state copied from template buffer when creating new buffers
  - Selective state copying (no pointer aliasing) to avoid undo_state corruption
  - Integration with command mode (:w updates buffer display name)
- Rendering:
  - buffers_render_tabs(ab, max_width) - Render tab bar at top
  - Tab format: [1] [2] [3] with current buffer in reverse video
  - Clear to end of line (\x1b[0K) after tabs to prevent artifacts
  - Newline separator (\r\n) between tabs and editor content
  - Cursor row offset calculation includes tab bar when visible
- Testing:
  - 10 comprehensive tests in tests/test_buffers.c (260 lines)
  - Tests cover: creation, switching, closing, display names, modified flags, edge cases
  - All tests passing (11/11 total test suites)
- Files Modified:
  - Added: src/loki_buffers.c, src/loki_buffers.h, tests/test_buffers.c
  - Modified: src/loki_editor.c (main loop uses buffer_get_current()), src/loki_modal.c (buffer keybindings), src/loki_core.c (tab rendering and cursor offset), src/loki_command.c (buffer display name updates), src/loki_internal.h (key definitions), CMakeLists.txt (build integration)
- UX Improvements:
  - Fixed empty buffer display (insert one empty row, reset dirty flag)
  - Fixed ghost text issue (copy terminal state when creating buffers)
  - Fixed tab bar positioning (render at top with proper line clearing)
  - Fixed cursor positioning (offset by 1 row when tabs visible)
  - Simple numeric tabs reduce visual clutter (filename in status bar)

Changed

Language Definition Architecture Migration: Migrated from C-only to hybrid C/Lua system with lazy loading
- Architecture: Hybrid system maintaining minimal static definitions for backward compatibility while enabling full extensibility through Lua
- Static Definitions (Minimal - for tests and markdown code blocks):
  - C/C++ (HLDB[0]) - 13 basic keywords only
  - Python (HLDB[1]) - 12 basic keywords only
  - Lua (HLDB[2]) - 13 basic keywords only
  - Markdown (HLDB[3]) - Special handling via editor_update_syntax_markdown()
- Dynamic Lua Definitions (Full):
  - Created 6 new language files: cython.lua, typescript.lua, swift.lua, sql.lua, shell.lua, c.lua
  - Existing files: python.lua, lua.lua, javascript.lua, rust.lua, go.lua, java.lua, markdown.lua
  - Total: 13 complete language definitions in .loki/languages/ directory
- Lazy Loading System (.loki/modules/languages.lua):
  - Extension registry maps 42 file extensions to language files without loading them
  - Languages load on-demand when first file with matching extension is opened
  - Markdown loaded as default fallback language
  - Performance: 60% faster startup (2-3ms vs 10-15ms) - only loads 1 language initially instead of 13
- File Reductions:
  - src/loki_languages.c: 702 → 494 lines (29.6% reduction, 208 lines removed)
  - Removed duplicate language definitions that existed in both C and Lua
  - Kept only infrastructure code and minimal keyword arrays
- Benefits:
  - Single Source of Truth: Each language defined once in Lua (eliminates C/Lua duplication)
  - Backward Compatibility: Tests and C code continue using HLDB directly without changes
  - Extensibility: Users can add new languages via Lua without recompiling
  - Performance: Lazy loading reduces startup time and memory usage
  - Maintainability: Minimal C code for languages, maximum flexibility via Lua
- Implementation:
  - Refactored languages.lua module with extension registry and lazy loading (312 lines)
  - Added dynamic language registration functions: add_dynamic_language(), free_dynamic_language(), cleanup_dynamic_languages(), get_dynamic_language(), get_dynamic_language_count()
  - Added markdown syntax highlighting function: editor_update_syntax_markdown() (176 lines)
  - Updated .loki/init.lua to use languages.init() instead of languages.load_all()
- Results:
  - All 10 test suites passing (100% pass rate, 134 tests total)
  - 42 extensions mapped, 13 languages available via lazy loading
  - REPL commands: languages.stats(), languages.load_for_extension(), languages.list()

[0.4.7]

Added

Undo/Redo System: Complete implementation with operation grouping and memory management
- Keybindings:
  - u - Undo last operation/group in NORMAL mode
  - Ctrl-R - Redo previously undone operation/group in NORMAL mode
- Operation Grouping - Intelligent grouping based on heuristics:
  - Time-based: >2 second gap starts new group
  - Cursor movement: Cursor jump >2 positions starts new group
  - Operation type: Insert→Delete or Delete→Insert starts new group
  - Mode changes: NORMAL→INSERT starts new group (preserves vim-like behavior)
  - Result: Typing "hello world" = 2 undo operations (not 11 individual chars)
- Circular Buffer Architecture:
  - Default: 1,000 operations (~64 KB for character edits)
  - Memory limit: 10 MB for line content storage
  - Oldest operations evicted when capacity reached
  - Efficient O(1) recording, O(N) undo/redo for grouped operations
- Supported Operations:
  - Character insert/delete (individual keystrokes)
  - Line insert/delete (newline split/merge)
  - All operations recorded with cursor position for accurate restoration
- Architecture:
  - New module: src/loki_undo.c (474 lines) and src/loki_undo.h (92 lines)
  - Opaque struct undo_state - private implementation detail
  - State stored in editor_ctx_t.undo_state
  - Zero-dependency implementation (standard library only)
- Integration Points:
  - editor_insert_char() - Records character insertion
  - editor_del_char() - Records character deletion
  - editor_insert_newline() - Records line split operations
  - editor_ctx_init() - Initializes undo system (1000 ops, 10MB)
  - editor_ctx_free() - Cleans up undo state
- Memory Management:
  - Per-operation overhead: ~64 bytes (char ops), ~64B + content length (line ops)
  - Automatic cleanup on circular buffer eviction
  - Memory limit prevents unbounded growth
  - Statistics available via undo_get_stats()
- User Experience:
  - Clear status messages: "Undo", "Redo", "Already at oldest change"
  - Undo history discarded after new edits (linear undo, not undo tree)

  - Clear error messages for invalid commands/arguments
- Lua Extensibility - New API: loki.register_ex_command(name, callback, help)
  - Register custom :commands from Lua scripts
  - Callbacks receive command arguments as string
  - Return true for success, false for failure
  - Up to 100 custom commands supported
  - Example:
```
loki.register_ex_command("timestamp", function(args)
    loki.insert_text(os.date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))

  - Internal helpers: lua_repl_execute_current(), lua_repl_handle_builtin(), lua_repl_emit_registered_help(), lua_repl_push_history(), lua_repl_log_prefixed(), lua_repl_append_log_owned()
- Public API Changes in include/loki/lua.h:
  - loki_lua_bootstrap(editor_ctx_t *ctx, const struct loki_lua_opts *opts) - breaking change
  - Added forward declaration of editor_ctx_t (now includes loki/core.h)
- Call Site Updates:
  - Updated loki_editor.c: 2 call sites to pass &E as context
  - Updated main_repl.c: 1 call site to pass NULL (standalone REPL)
  - Updated loki_core.c: All REPL function calls to pass context
- Results:
  - Eliminated all global E references from loki_lua.c (0 remaining)
  - 6 files modified: +244 insertions, -187 deletions
  - All tests passing (2/2), compilation successful
  - Only harmless typedef redefinition warnings (C11 feature)
- Compatibility: Architecture fully compatible with future opaque pointer conversion
- Backward Compatibility: No breaking changes to Lua scripts (API unchanged from Lua perspective)
Context Passing Migration (Phase 4): Migrated loki_editor.c and async HTTP to explicit context passing
- Core Updates:
  - Updated check_async_requests(ctx, L) to accept context for rawmode checking
  - Updated loki_poll_async_http(ctx, L) to accept context parameter
  - Updated editor_cleanup_resources(ctx) to accept context
  - Updated internal helpers: exec_lua_command(ctx, fd), lua_apply_span_table(ctx, row, table_index), lua_apply_highlight_row(ctx, row, default_ran)
- Public API Changes in include/loki/lua.h:
  - loki_poll_async_http(editor_ctx_t *ctx, lua_State *L) - breaking change
- Standalone REPL Support:
  - Updated main_repl.c to pass NULL context (standalone tools don't need editor context)
  - Added NULL-safe context checking pattern: if (!ctx || !ctx->field)
- Results:
  - Reduced E. references in loki_editor.c from 78 to 5 (93% reduction)
  - Total E. references reduced from 198 to 125 across codebase
  - 6 files modified: +95/-91 lines
  - All tests passing (2/2), compilation successful
Context Passing Migration (Phase 5): Final cleanup - removed dead code and migrated remaining functions
- Code Cleanup:
  - Deleted 146 lines of commented-out dead code (old lua_apply_span_table and lua_apply_highlight_row implementations)
  - Removed unused bridge functions: editor_ctx_from_global() and editor_ctx_to_global() (never called)
- Terminal Raw Mode:
  - Updated enable_raw_mode(ctx, fd) to accept context parameter, uses ctx->rawmode
  - Updated disable_raw_mode(ctx, fd) to accept context parameter, uses ctx->rawmode
  - Updated call sites in loki_editor.c and loki_core.c
- Syntax Highlighting:
  - Updated editor_update_syntax_markdown(ctx, row) to accept context parameter
  - Replaced E.row with ctx->row for accessing previous row's code block language
- Lua REPL:
  - Updated lua_repl_history_apply(ctx, repl) to accept context parameter
  - Replaced E.screencols with ctx->screencols for input width calculations
- Documentation:
  - Updated loki_internal.h to remove bridge function declarations
  - Enhanced global E comment to document current architecture and remaining use cases
- Results:
  - Reduced E. references from 125 to 9 (93% reduction from Phase 4)
  - Total reduction: 412 references eliminated (97.8% reduction from start)
  - Only 9 E. references remain (all intentional: main(), atexit(), status messages)
  - 4 files modified: -204 lines in loki_core.c, +19/-7 lines across other files
  - All tests passing (2/2), compilation successful
- Architecture Achievement:
  - Global singleton pattern effectively eliminated from active code paths
  - All core functions now use explicit context passing (editor_ctx_t *ctx)
  - Foundation complete for future split windows and multi-buffer support
