ackandClaude Fable 5.1 f4dcdf3ffd @link :section links to a section by its heading, with an alone value (from dev 831455f36fcd)
A section link names the TEXT of a heading: :section alone means the current
file, a value names the file of the same @document that has it. Resolved by
@document at assembly in html and tex; errors for a missing file, a missing
title, a doubled title and a link outside a @document. The Markdown
converter reads a Markdown anchor as a section link to the heading its slug
names. Also from dev: the converter's four silent defects fixed and --chapter
(9ae2c4cd), and the engine's alone-value error text.

ack bc2b3d8461 A rest argument keeps an empty first element; a removal block keeps its neighbour; the Markdown converter reads paragraphs whole; Smart App Control on the Windows page (from dev 1083db946f05)
- A rest argument (a list's or a table's items) now strips exactly ONE
  leading bar -- the separator from what precedes it -- so a second one is
  an empty first element: a table with an empty header corner is written
  `@table |` then ` | Maskulinum | ...`. Before, every leading bar was
  dropped and such a header row shifted one column left. New shipped suite
  tst/rest_test.sh.
- Text written hard against a closing ]# (a period, a letter) is no longer
  removed with the block; a following space or line break still is.
- sks/tns/md_to_sks.py converts inline Markdown per paragraph, so emphasis
  that wraps is converted and not mis-paired; bold may contain italic;
  tables are unnumbered; links to sibling .md files converted alongside
  become links to their html pages; the arrow becomes @rightarrow@.
- doc/install/windows_source_install.md: Smart App Control must be off --
  it blocks MSYS2's unsigned toolchain, and its Evaluation state turns
  itself on later.

ackandClaude Fable 5.1 ed7bedf5a7 Images in plain text and the terminal; bounded build parallelism (from dev 16f82cc887af)
- @image under txt and ansi is a picture in characters, in five styles
  (Image_txt_style: halfblock the default, shade, ascii, quadrant,
  braille), sized to the terminal's width less a margin when ktext runs
  in one, every cell in its own colours under ansi; a figure's caption
  is centred under it and no txt caption is ruled off any more.
- The build compiles as many files at once as the machine has cores
  (JOBS; make -C com JOBS=1 for a small machine): the sub-makes' bare -j
  meant unlimited parallelism and exhausted 8 GB machines. The three
  install pages say "make -C com".

ackandClaude Fable 5.1 715d939727 What a Windows editor saves, and a standard user's Windows install (from dev 9d6f66456a3d)
- CRLF line endings are read as newlines on every system (the reader used
  to delete the pair, collapsing a Notepad++ file into one line on Linux
  and macOS); a leading UTF-8 byte-order mark is ignored; a UTF-16 or
  Windows-1252 source is refused with the encoding, the place and the
  remedy named. .gitattributes pins LF in every clone.
- Windows source install: the repository path must hold no space (GNU
  Make), accented letters are fine (every linker input is relative now);
  python.org's Python is selected ahead of an MSYS2 one that poppler pulls
  in; TeX Live goes to its Windows default C:\texlive\2026.
- The Python binding needs an ASCII installation path on Windows, and its
  suite says so there.

ack fc2e848e91 A klammer set's Python speaks through the log
Assembled from development commit d5f9c20b94b3. Since 5c29da5: a print() in
@eval, or in any Python a klammer set runs, is a log line -- on the
error stream under the command's name at -v 1, silent otherwise, never
in the document -- and K_log(level, text) is the builtin behind it; a
Python script using the binding keeps its own stdout. Previously such
output was lost, or on a terminal landed in the document.

ack 5c29da52dc An error inside a klammer is reported at your document; the image search path
Assembled from development commit 632297b7657a. Since 1b00738: when something
goes wrong while a klammer is being applied, the report begins with the
line of your document that applied it, then lists the klammers being
applied and where inside the klammer set the fault was raised; the
Python binding's line and column are the application's too. The default
image search path is the document's directory, imgsrc beside it and
../imgsrc, and a not-found report shows exactly those.

ack 1b00738654 Images: a PDF figure finds poppler, the lookup admits image files only, a missing image is an error
Assembled from development commit 8ed24ef03b36. Since ee8bcf5: a PDF file used
as an image finds poppler's pdfinfo and pdftoppm on the PATH instead of
/usr/bin, and says which package to install when they are missing (the
Linux, macOS and Windows pages name it); the image lookup considers
image files only, so a source or log file beside a figure is never taken
for it; and an @image whose file cannot be found is an error naming the
basename and the search path, instead of a silent red placeholder. Two
test suites that had relied on that placeholder now supply a real image;
a new suite covers the PDF figure.

ack ee8bcf5300 Windows: product names, the editors, WSL; the Linux page's image step
Assembled from development commit c3c40f6c8fca. Since 830b193: on Windows the
products carry Windows names (ktext.exe, klammertext.dll, document.dll,
reflect.dll) and the console's output code page is UTF-8 for a run; the
editor tooling works on Windows (VS Code, Sublime Text, Vim, with the
interpreter's name chosen by platform) and Notepad++ joins it
(doc/edit/notepadpp: a User Defined Language and two Run-menu commands);
a sixth install page, doc/install/windows_wsl_install.md, for Linux
inside WSL; the Windows page opens with the three routes and gains its
editor section, the PowerShell quoting and Path notes; the Linux page
installs OpenImageIO from the python3-openimageio package and verifies
with kdiag --machine; the README lists all six install pages. Linux and
macOS behaviour is unchanged.

ack 830b19394d Klammertext runs natively on Windows; a Windows source-install guide; the bundled sh for @eval :shell
Assembled from klammertext-dev f344a37d772c. The commands, the library,
the Standard Klammer Set, the reflection klammerset and the Python
binding build and run natively on Windows (MSYS2 UCRT64 gcc, python.org
Python), and both test tiers pass there. doc/install/windows_source_install.md
is the fifth install guide: a source install parallel to the Linux and
macOS ones, verified by following it on a pristine Windows 11.

Behaviour on every system: paths Klammertext prints use forward slashes;
output is LF; the command line is UTF-8 on Windows; @eval :shell is a
POSIX shell command everywhere -- on Windows it runs the sh Klammertext
ships, BusyBox for Windows (win/busybox/, GPLv2, with its licence and the
source pointer). KLAMMERTEXT_FONTS and KLAMMERTEXT_KLAMMERSETS are lists in
the system's PATH convention (';' on Windows). On Linux and macOS nothing
observable changes.

Assembled from klammertext-dev e99530408517. The katom rewrite patterns

kdesc --katoms is Klammertext rendered from ref/, the types in titled groups,
with --katoms full for the regex column.  @table :leading L is L lines of the
surrounding text in html as in pdf (default 1), and :rulesep spaces the
horizontal rules.  The html table has one style attribute, so :column_width
fractions take effect again.  @code and @source_listing render in plain
text; captions are numbered per kind there, and a table needs no blank line
around it.  @c takes :nd, and an option-shaped word before a bar inside
literal code is code.

overload pair split); kdesc -c and -u rendered from the ref/ reflection
klammerset; a fit column's tex width measured in TeX over every entry;
@typeface resolving to the family its css declares (a store directory name

@table spacing and the Image_quality state variable; and the rewritten

ack e4f1307aa9 Characters that killed a render, what may sit next to a klammer, and ref/
A character written in the ^...^ mnemonic form -- ^oe^, ^zz^, ^hello^ --
used to kill ktext outright: no message, no output, and an exit status
that looked like a crash because it was one.  Only the forms that happen
to spell hexadecimal digits escaped, and they were right by luck rather
than by reading.  Any caret form that names no character is now a located
error that quotes what was written.

A klammer may now sit inside square brackets and braces as it already
could inside parentheses, and may be followed by the punctuation that
ends a sentence: [@i word@], {@b word@}, @i word@'s.  The rule is a fixed
list of characters, because none of them can occur inside a klammer name
and so none of them is ambiguous next to a delimiter.  A letter still
cannot: "x@" is the named closing delimiter, so a letter before "@" has
two readings and no rule can separate them.

The abbreviations an author writes -- the hyphen form @i-word, a klammer
glued to its neighbouring punctuation -- are now recognised as author
conveniences only.  They are not applied to @@ definitions or @@@ system
commands, which are written by someone who needs no such shorthand and
whose forms are already whole.

Also fixed, each of them silent: an exported shell function in the
environment broke every @eval in the document; a line break written with
@nl was destroyed when it passed through a klammer that generates a
table, printing as \textbackslash{}newline in the finished PDF; and
"kdesc --coverage" shortened its file column by comparing the spelling of
a path rather than the path, so a klammer set reached by a symbolic link
showed a full path where its neighbours showed a short one.

New in the distribution: ref/, a small klammerset that describes the
Klammermachine's own tables in Klammertext.  It currently provides the
character tables -- the diacritics and the extended Latin letters -- as
klammers that render to any target, so the documentation of what can be
written cannot drift from what the machine accepts.  It is early, and
will grow.

The Klammertext taxonomy now has a section on targets, describes the
@@@klammerset system command alongside the other three, and states the
precedence of "^" -- what a caret means before a letter, a digit, a
punctuation character, and a quote, in one ordered list.

ack b80e823ab3 Tables in the plain-text target, with captions
A @table now renders to txt.  What it needed settled how plain text sets
a block off from the prose around it, which is by INDENTING it: that is
the only structural device the medium has, where html and LaTeX have
boxes, rules and space.  An indented block is one that has already been
laid out, and the target leaves its lines alone.

A caption is placed above a table or a listing and below a figure, in
every target rather than only in plain text.  A figure is taken in at a
glance, and the caption then names what the reader has already seen; a
table is read, and a reader who meets the rows before the subject has to
read them twice.

Also fixed, all three of them silent: an indented paragraph was dropped
from plain-text output rather than left as written; an @indent block was
re-flowed, so the indentation of its later lines appeared as gaps in the
middle of a line; and a table captioned with ":number false" lost the
rule under its caption, while an unnumbered table wrongly consumed a
number that a reader counting captions would then find missing.

ack af29bbf7ac Unicode sequences, @typeface, and the font/typeface distinction
A run of Unicode code points now needs one pair of carets, not one pair
each: ^9053 53EF 9053^ renders the characters adjacently, and a single
character inside such a run stands for itself.  An invalid code point is
an error naming the position that wrote it, rather than an apology
rendered into the finished document; noncharacters are refused alongside
surrogates; and a code point that lands on a Klammertext special is safe
through the re-reads that assemble a document.  The character tables now
produce the precomposed form, so a diacritic written as ^a" and one typed
directly are the same text to a search or a copy-paste.

"kdesc -u" describes how to write a Unicode character, with tables of
glyphs beside the codes that produce them.  It is new and not yet
complete: it predates the sequence form and the typeface klammer below.

A typeface and a style are no longer both called "font".  A typeface is a
family resolved by name; a style code is the one letter naming a type
style.  So @document takes :serif_typeface and its siblings, a table takes
:style, captions take :caption_style and :caption_size, the uniform scale
is :text_scale, and the command is "kdesc --typeface".  This renames
arguments a document may already use; an old name is a located error
rather than a silent omission.

@typeface sets a passage in another typeface for the length of that
passage:

    @typeface Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs | ^132AA 133CF^ :scale 1.5 @

Writing the klammer is the whole declaration -- the document resolves the
typeface, embeds it in what it produces, and carries its license along.
Two typefaces for scripts no text font covers now ship with Klammertext:
Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs and Noto Sans Cuneiform.  Every typeface in
the distribution now carries its license file.

ackandClaude Fable 5 bd39d9a369 Literal @c, @source_listing with :marker, and a large-directory speedup
Three changes.

@c now takes its content literally, like @code -- it is the inline form
and @code the block form of the same thing.  The named close "c@" is
required, and characters that are special in a target no longer break
the file: @c a_b c@ renders correctly everywhere.  The Markdown
converter stops quoting inline code, since nothing needs protecting.

@source_file is renamed @source_listing.  Code read from a file is its
own klammer; @code is only for a block written inline (its never-
implemented :filename and :pattern options are removed).  The new
:marker P option lists the region between two lines that are exactly
//P, so the source file declares its own extractable regions.  A marker
missing or not appearing exactly twice is an error, never a fallback.

Rendering a document that sits in a large directory was paying a
recursive walk of that directory's whole tree on every @eval -- 27
seconds for a document that renders in a third of one.  The walk is now
a non-recursive look decided once per directory.

ack 240cff4278 An output policy for the three commands, and @cond as a true special form
A snapshot of the development tree.  The substantial changes since the last one:

COMMAND OUTPUT POLICY.  The three commands display text in exactly three cases,
and each owns a stream: LOGGING under "-v" greater than 0 and an ERROR before
termination go to STDERR; OUTPUT THE USER ASKED FOR goes to STDOUT.  For ktext
that output is a document, so "ktext doc.kt -d | ..." is now safe -- logging
used to share the stream and land inside the document.  A bare command prints
its usage and succeeds rather than failing.  Colour is emitted only to a
terminal, per stream, and NO_COLOR is honoured.

"-v 1" reports every decision whose outcome you could not have read off your own
input: the klammerset that was loaded and from which file, a font's directory, a
":files" name's file, how "-o" was expanded.  Higher levels are the trace.

The commands no longer warn and continue: an anomaly is an error, described with
its location.  Two exceptions remain, each for a stated reason -- a condition
that is expected and temporary by design, and a judgment that is a heuristic
rather than exact.

@cond IS NOW A TRUE SPECIAL FORM, resolved at APPLICATION time rather than when
the file is read.  Two consequences for a writer:

  * a state variable reaches the predicate.  "@@@state Flag :value true @@@
    @cond *Flag* | T | F @" renders "T"; it used to see the literal "*Flag*" and
    silently take the false branch.  The document now behaves like a klammer
    body, whose arguments are bound before its conditionals are decided.
  * nothing in a discarded branch happens -- it is not read, not evaluated, not
    expanded.  An @eval in the branch not taken used to run anyway.

Its predicate relation is total and strict: true, True, 1; false, False, 0, and
empty; anything else is an error at the @cond rather than silently false.

@eval REACHING OUTSIDE.  ":shell" and ":haskell" now keep the command's standard
error out of the document (it appears under "-v 1") and treat a nonzero exit as
an error naming what the command reported.  A command that exits nonzero on
purpose -- "grep" finding no match -- says so with "|| true".

KLAMMER SETS.  Several combine: "--klammersets a b c" loads all three in the
order given, sharing one namespace, with the definition modes deciding
collisions.  "none" means none and may not be combined with other symbols.  A
klammerset with symbol X is declared in a file X/X.k, which is what lets two
sets require the same third set without loading it twice.

TESTS.  Four new suites: the kdiag command's interface, the @eval primitive's
contract with the outside world, and verbosity at both tiers.  Three suites
that could not run on macOS at all now do.

Assembled from dev commit 6c8ee6c22fca.
2026-08-16 01:37:59 +02:00
ack 59c1599bc9 Target coverage: a klammer states the targets it serves
kdesc gains --coverage, which reports for every klammer the set of targets it
can render to, and — the point of it — which klammers' coverage cannot be
derived and must therefore be declared.  Three rules: coverage is DERIVED
where the definitions determine it (a general body of klammer calls covers
the intersection of what those klammers cover, by a greatest fixpoint after
loading), DECLARED where the engine cannot interpret what decides it (an
@eval body, whose targets are undecidable), and UNKNOWN where nothing is
written — which never means "deliberately unavailable".

Two new spellings in a definition's name.  A comma-separated target list,
"@@table.html,tex :: ...", gives one body several targets; it is surface
syntax, expanded at registration, and each member goes through the
redefinition rules on its own.  And "@@date.* :: ..." writes the general
target out, asserting that the klammer works for EVERY target including ones
not yet defined — a stronger claim than a list of the targets defined today,
and the one target declaration that could be mechanically falsified.

The Standard Klammer Set was swept accordingly: it now has no general
definitions at all, every klammer names the targets it serves, six use ".*",
and tex and pdf are at zero undecided.

kdesc's flags are reorganised on two rules: a flag reached for often gets a
single letter (-k klammers, -t targets, -c characters, -i input), a more
specialised topic a multi-letter name (--argtypes, --katoms, --rewrite,
--optionsets, --coverage, --klammerset, --font); and -v says how much to show
about PROCESSING, never what the RESULT contains — so the katom regex column
is "--katoms full" and the coverage detail "--coverage all".  NOTE: "-k" now
lists klammers (optionally filtered by a name/description search); the katom
table moved to "--katoms".

Fixes carried along: an option written with no value crashed the command with
SIGSEGV instead of reporting the mistake; two required positional arguments
never parsed; kdesc and kdiag printed an error and exited 0; and definition
diagnostics counted registrations rather than what was written, so one line
could be reported as two definitions and then printed twice.

Four new test suites: target_list, coverage, command_option, kdesc.

ack 61987c8b1f Render correctly under a sandboxed browser; unbulleted contents
mdpdf drives a headless Chromium, and a browser installed as a flatpak --
which is what the Pop!_Shop installs, and so the ordinary case on a Pop!_OS
or System76 machine -- was unusable in two ways, the second of them silent.

It was not found at all.  A flatpak puts nothing on PATH and nothing in
/opt, and its wrapper is named com.brave.Browser rather than brave-browser,
so adding the export directory to PATH would not have helped either.  The
application ids are now looked for in the flatpak export directories, after
every native browser, so a native one still wins where there is one.

Found, it then rendered in the wrong fonts and reported success.  The
@font-face URLs pointed into the font store, which the sandbox cannot read,
and a browser does not report a font it cannot fetch -- it substitutes.  The
PDF came out in a default serif and nothing said so.  Granting the path
would not have travelled either: sandbox filesystem permissions differ from
one application to the next, so a scheme resting on a path works with one
browser and fails with another on the same machine.

So the document, its fonts and its images are now served to the browser
over the loopback interface instead of being passed as file:// paths.  Every
sandbox shares the network namespace -- the DevTools connection already
depends on it -- so this needs no filesystem permission from any sandbox,
present or future.  A --keep-html copy is still written with file:// URLs,
so it works when nothing is serving it.

A font that fails to load is now an error rather than a substitution: the
page is asked whether each requested family arrived, and no PDF is written
if one did not.  A finished-looking document in the wrong typeface is the
worst failure this program can have.

Separately, a table-of-contents entry no longer carries a bullet.  An entry
is a section title, and a marker in front of it reads as a list of things
rather than as a contents; ordinary bulleted lists are unaffected.

ack 4a4c7404cc Markdown to PDF: the mdpdf command, and the fonts it needs
This snapshot carries sks/tns/, the translation directory, into the
distribution for the first time, together with the two default font
families its stylesheet names.

sks/tns/ holds two converters in opposite directions.  md_to_sks.py
converts Markdown to Klammertext, recording what it cannot convert exactly
as "#[MD ... ]#" markers so a draft carries its own worklist.  md_to_pdf.py
renders Markdown straight to PDF through a headless Chromium driven over the
DevTools Protocol, bypassing Klammertext entirely -- the route for a
document that is not ready to convert, and a permanent one for Markdown that
Klammertext cannot represent well.  Neither is loaded by the SKS; md_to_pdf
needs markdown-it-py, which it keeps in a virtual environment of its own and
creates with --setup.

The everyday form of the second is the mdpdf command, a shell function in
sks/tns/mdpdf.sh that env/runtime.env sources, so anyone with the
Klammertext environment has it:

    mdpdf notes.md          # writes notes.pdf beside it

It supplies the house fonts, the size matching, and the code wrapping,
completes on *.md at the TAB key, and takes its defaults from MDPDF_*
variables so one can be changed in a shell profile without copying the
function.  It is POSIX shell rather than zsh, since runtime.env is sourced
from bash profiles too.

Two things the stylesheet does that a print stylesheet usually cannot.  Code
lines are wrapped to a column count MEASURED from the rendered page rather
than written down -- the browser is asked how many characters a code box
holds, over every box in the document, so the wrapping stays right when the
fonts, sizes or margins change.  And the page number is a CSS Paged Media
margin box, which current Chromium implements, so it is set in the
document's own face instead of the browser's generic sans.

fnt/ gains EB Garamond and Source Sans 3, the serif and sans the stylesheet
asks for by default.

ack 6e7596ab2e Option sets: a .o target for shared parameters
A named group of optional parameters, declared once and used by several
klammers, so a writer learns one vocabulary instead of a spelling per
klammer.  The "o" target is a pseudo-target beside "k": "k" declares a
klammer's interface and documents it, "o" declares an option interface and
documents it, and neither produces output for any target.

    @@caption_args.o :caption :number.bool true :caption_side.side
    : Arguments that define a caption for a block element @@

    @@code.k :filename @hpos_args :hpos left @ @caption_args :caption_side top @
    | text.literal : A source file displayed verbatim @@

A set is used only in the parameter list of a ".k" declaration -- the one
place a klammer's interface is declared once for all of its targets -- and
is resolved as that list is read.  Names and types come from the set; a
default may be overridden where it is used.  A klammer application in a
parameter list is now a definition-time error.

The SKS gains the sets caption_args and hpos_args (:hpos and :offset), and
@table, @image, @image_grid, @reference and @show gain .k declarations.  A
distance is no longer written as a position: :hpos 4em is rejected, and the
same layout is :hpos left :offset 4em.  Code listings are numbered by
default, like tables and figures.

New engine sources mac/option_set{,_registry}.{h,cpp}; tst/ ships two more
suites, option_set_test.sh and signature_test.sh (twelve in all).

ack 55e1a1f3ac Fix html::page declaration/definition divergence from the const sweep
The four defaulted parameters in html_util.h stayed by-value while the
definition became const&, leaving the called overload undefined.
Linux's -shared linking hid it (lazy dlopen resolution); it broke the
book-structure HTML path at runtime. Both sides now agree (const&,
defaults kept); combine_files converted consistently as well.

ack ef77f03584 Klammerset: the @@@klammerset construct, its search path, and const correctness
The @@@klammerset system command formally declares a klammerset — a
named, logically related group of klammer definitions — with an
operative, idempotent declaration (:requires and :files load in order
at the declaration point, relative to the declaring file). A bare
symbol given to ktext -k, kdesc --input, or :requires resolves to
x/x.k on the search path: the document's directory, then
KLAMMERTEXT_KLAMMERSETS, then KLAMMERTEXT_HOME; kdesc --klammerset
lists the available sets. sks/sks.k is the first declared klammerset,
so `-k sks` loads the SKS by name. The engine's lookup classes were
renamed *_set → *_registry to keep the two concepts apart, and the
whole C++ tree now follows standard const-correctness conventions.
tst/ gains klammerset_test.sh (18 cases).

ackandClaude Opus 5 c42981f7e2 release: parallel command links, nine-level list nesting
Two development changes since the last snapshot.

perf(build): com/Makefile's recursive $(MAKE) commands inherited no
jobserver, so kdiag, kdesc and ktext linked one after another even though
they are independent links against the already-built library.  A clean
rebuild drops from 27.9 s to 23.1 s on an i9-14900KF and from 16.4 s to
13.8 s on an M5 Pro.

fix(list): LaTeX's built-in enumerate and itemize stop at four levels, so
a deeper @ol or @ul failed with "Too deeply nested".  sks/list/sty/list.sty
now redefines both through enumitem to allow nine, with explicit per-level
itemize markers, since \renewlist discards the built-in ones.

ack cacff229a1 feat(argtype): :alone - the value of an option written without one
An optional argument has three values: the default (the name is absent),
the argument type's :alone value (the name is written alone), and a
written value.

:alone is declared by the argument type only, never by a klammer's
parameter declaration -- a default is what one klammer means by silence,
but a bare option name must read the same way in every klammer.  The bool
type declares :alone true, which is the whole of the convention that a
bare boolean option means true; there is no boolean special case in the
engine.  A type whose pattern matches running text cannot declare :alone,
since an option's value runs to the next bar or option name and would
swallow the following text.

kdesc and `ktext -m` now show [default: X] and [alone: Y] per argument
type.

In the Standard Klammer Set: @code :number becomes a bool (it was an
untyped string tested only for truthiness, so a bare :number was a
no-op); decimal_mark declares :alone comma; table_hline and table_vline
declare :alone all.  The 35 bools that default false gained the bare form
for free.

Tests: tst/alone_test.sh (21 cases) joins the shipped suite.

Language state variable, and :number for the numeric form (en 6/16/1910,
de 16.06.1910 per DIN 5008).  @eval finds Python modules next to the file
that names them regardless of the cwd, and the new :cwd option runs an
eval in a chosen working directory (@source_file uses it to resolve
against the document).  Two new test suites ship in tst/.

- Filenames may contain spaces: quote on the command line; filename
  lists use a standalone "/" separator; unseparated names that do not
  exist are rejoined into names that do (announced); leading ~ expands.
- Without -o, output is written to the input file's directory; -o fully
  specifies the output directory and basename.
- "Word not parsed" warnings now appear without -v, only for text that
  survives removal, with correct line numbers.
- New tst/filename_test.sh regression suite.

Quoted Klammertext specials (^@ ^| ^# ^^ ^: ^*) and ^'...'^ regions now
survive re-processing (held as escape markers until final output);
:after_apply phase functions receive and return raw target text.

Tables: :hpos element position (center|left|right|<length>) replaces the
unimplemented :center/:indent; the ranged cell override is renamed
:justify; :column_width works in html (colgroup widths) and gains
'fill' -- the remaining width, capped at the column's widest entry, in
both targets; a table wider than the text column warns on the console;
table edges without an outer line set their text flush on the margins.

@document: no empty title bar for untitled documents; @vfill fills to
the bottom of the window in html (pure CSS); @vspace in plain text;
new @dot klammer; monospace email links.

ack 8a2699a253 Typed arguments, calculated tables, spans, closed-world fonts, top-level fnt/ and env/
Sync with klammertext-dev through b90b0e09:

- Argument types end to end: :python_cast values are applied (Python
  @eval receives real bools/numbers/lists), argument values are
  validated against their argtype patterns with the argtype's
  description as the error message, argtypes can declare :default
  (overridable per declaration), and parameterized type families are
  supported: rest(N) casts a rest argument to an N-dimensional list
  (bar-count = dimension).
- Unified indexed_range syntax (selector with parenthesized subsets,
  composable mnemonic names) for table lines and spans.
- Table klammer: caption fonts fixed in both targets, :column_width /
  :leading / :colsep wired, :colspan and :rowspan render (HTML
  attributes; \multicolumn / \multirow), calculated cell values (:calc)
  with prefix operators, display-precision semantics, :calc_format and
  :decimal period|comma.
- Fonts: closed-world resolution on the Klammertext font store
  (infrastructure in mac/font_store; no Google Fonts links or fetch).
  Default fonts live in the top-level fnt/; additional fonts install
  into KLAMMERTEXT_FONTS directories via kdesc --font (list, samples,
  preview, install — classification by font metadata).  CSS font family
  names are quoted (digit-initial families were silently lost).
- Environment files moved from mac/env/ to the top-level env/; shell
  profiles source env/runtime.env.  Dead per-host variants removed.
- Container: fnt/ ships in the image; curl removed (no network use).
