akbasic's src/ now calls libakstdlib 313 times and raw libc 7 -- 2.2%
bypassed, against 86.4% on the same tree before this. The submodule bump
669b2b3 -> 2b79aca needed no source change of its own: the release is
drop-in for what akbasic already used.
Seven of the eight sites the earlier port left on raw libc change their own
signature rather than swallowing an error, per andrew's ruling on
libakstdlib#38. word_is, the is_waiting_for pair, the scanner's is_at_end,
peek, peek_next and match_next_char, format.c's overflow, and sink_akgl's
scroll/newline/putchar_at/echo_line/edit_key chain all return an
akerr_ErrorContext * and hand the answer back through an out parameter.
is_waiting_for and is_waiting_for_any are a public header change; every
call site that used one as a term in a condition hoists it into a
statement first.
verb_compare is the eighth and stays on strcmp. bsearch(3) fixes the
comparator's signature, so there is no out parameter to report through --
which is what libakstdlib#38 concluded. It carries a comment saying so and
saying why the bypass is safe there.
Six snprintf sites stay raw because they want truncation as an answer
rather than an error, and aksl_snprintf cannot express that until
libakstdlib#34 hands the required length back. Each of the six says so at
the site. Two of them, in host.c, are a latent defect rather than a
decision: a host type name over 31 characters truncates silently and two
sharing a prefix then collide, where structtype.c refuses the same case.
DLOAD leaked a file descriptor. Its read loop sat inside an ATTEMPT and the
PASS in it returned past CLEANUP, so a scan error left the file open.
Hoisting the loop into its own helper to convert fgets fixes it.

Group K, and the first verbs to reach the akgl_ui subsystem 0.9.0 brought
in: MENU and GETMENU and RMENU, DIALOG, HUD and UISTYLE. A program that
wanted a title screen had to draw one out of CHAR and GETKEY, which is
what both breakout tutorials make a reader do.
The interesting part is the impedance mismatch. libakgl's UI is immediate
mode -- widgets are re-declared inside a frame bracket every frame and
clay borrows their text until the bracket closes -- and a BASIC program
says MENU 1, "START" on line 100 and expects it up on line 900, several
hundred frames later. So src/ui_akgl.c is retained on this side and
immediate on that one: the record's entry points are setters that copy
into akbasic_AkglUi, and akbasic_ui_akgl_render() replays the whole set
once a frame from the host's pump. No BASIC string, which lives in the
per-line value pool, is ever what clay is handed.
The shapes are borrowed rather than invented. MENU retires the way SOLID
does -- no entries retires one, no arguments retire them all. GETMENU
holds the step loop the way GETKEY does, so parking is not blocking: the
step still returns, the host keeps its frame rate, and the sprite, audio
and collision services keep running underneath because they run before
the blocking checks. RMENU(n,1) reads and clears the way BUMP() does.
Withdrawing the device or retiring the menu releases a holding GETMENU
with 0 rather than wedging the script, which is akbasic_input_service()'s
rule for a withdrawn keyboard.
One thing a program has to know, and docs/19-user-interface.md says it
twice: a menu that is up owns the cursor keys and Return. It has to, and
retiring it gives them back -- forget the MENU n before an INPUT and the
INPUT never sees the Return that ends it.
akbasic_runtime_set_ui() is its own function rather than a fifth argument
to akbasic_runtime_set_devices(), whose signature has twenty-eight call
sites in tests and documentation that are about something else.
deps/libakgl is not touched. akgl_UiAnchor has the four corners and dead
centre, so HUD offers exactly those five; TODO.md records what a
top-centre and bottom-centre would cost upstream, along with the three
other things this deliberately leaves out. No new error code either --
DEVICE, BOUNDS, SYNTAX and TYPE cover the group, and 520 stays free.
tools/screenshot.c had to learn that "needs a font" and "draws the text
grid" are two questions. They were one, and a UI figure came out black:
the text layer owns every pixel of the rows it covers and painted over
the widgets. The new ui=1 fence attribute asks for the first without the
second; MAINTENANCE.md documents it.
112/112 in both configurations, 112/112 under ASan and UBSan, coverage
94.1% against the 90% gate with src/runtime_ui.c at 99% of lines and
100% of functions, doxygen clean, and the four new figures byte-identical
on a re-render. TODO.md section 8's gate table was stale on several
counts besides these and is refreshed with measured numbers.
