main screen buffer with Viewport::Fullscreen instead of alternate screen

Use ratatui::crossterm re-export instead of direct crossterm dependency (avoids version conflicts)
SIGINT not registered via signal-hook — handled via crossterm key events for double-press Ctrl+C (Plan 03)
restore_terminal() never calls ratatui::restore() — that would call LeaveAlternateScreen which was never entered
Cleanup-safe pattern: every operation in restore_terminal() and panic hook uses let _ =
No unwrap() or ? in panic hook — double-panic prevention
Viewport::Fullscreen for main screen BBS immersive mode

Phase 1 Plan 02: Terminal Safety Primitives Summary

Main-screen BBS terminal with panic recovery hook, SIGHUP/SIGTERM AtomicBool flag registration, and broken-pipe-safe cleanup using ratatui::crossterm re-export

Performance

  • Duration: ~3 min
  • Started: 2026-02-28T20:10:36Z
  • Completed: 2026-02-28T20:12:58Z
  • Tasks: 2
  • Files modified: 3

Accomplishments

  • Terminal initializes on the main screen buffer (not alternate screen) with raw mode — immersive BBS feel where TUI output persists in scroll history after exit
  • Panic hook restores terminal state before printing a BBS-themed user message, then delegates to original hook for sysop details (journald/SSH log)
  • SIGHUP and SIGTERM register a shared AtomicBool flag for event loop polling; SIGINT deliberately excluded to enable double-press Ctrl+C via crossterm key events in Plan 03
  • All cleanup paths (restore_terminal, panic hook) use let _ = on every operation — no double-panic risk

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

  1. Task 1: Terminal init/restore and panic hook - b258b6d (feat)
  2. Task 2: Signal handling and logging stub - 966b47e (feat)

Files Created/Modified

  • src/terminal.rs - init_terminal() (main screen, raw mode, Viewport::Fullscreen), restore_terminal() (let _ = pattern), install_panic_hook() (BBS message + original hook delegation), Term type alias
  • src/signals.rs - SignalFlags struct, register_signals() (SIGHUP + SIGTERM only), should_terminate() poll method, init_logging() Phase 1 stub
  • src/main.rs - Added mod signals; and mod terminal; declarations

Decisions Made

  • Used ratatui::crossterm re-export path instead of adding crossterm as a direct dependency. Crossterm is a transitive dependency only; using the re-export avoids version conflicts and keeps Cargo.toml minimal.
  • SIGINT is NOT registered via signal-hook. The double-press Ctrl+C state machine (SHEL-01) will use crossterm key events (KeyCode::Char('c') + KeyModifiers::CONTROL) in the event loop — registering SIGINT twice causes double-handling.
  • restore_terminal() never calls ratatui::restore(). That function calls LeaveAlternateScreen unconditionally, which corrupts the terminal since we never entered the alternate screen.

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Used ratatui::crossterm re-export instead of bare crossterm import

  • Found during: Task 1 (terminal.rs build verification)
  • Issue: use crossterm::... failed to compile — crossterm is a transitive dependency not listed in Cargo.toml directly. Compiler error: "use of unresolved module or unlinked crate crossterm" with hint pointing to ratatui::crossterm
  • Fix: Changed all crossterm:: imports to ratatui::crossterm:: re-export path. Also updated the inlined execute! calls inside the panic hook closure to use the fully-qualified ratatui::crossterm:: path.
  • Files modified: src/terminal.rs
  • Verification: cargo build succeeds
  • Committed in: b258b6d (Task 1 commit)

Total deviations: 1 auto-fixed (1 blocking import error) Impact on plan: Necessary fix — imports must resolve for compilation. Using re-export path is semantically identical and more robust against version mismatches.

Issues Encountered

None beyond the crossterm import deviation documented above.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

  • Terminal safety envelope is complete: all exit paths (panic, signal, normal quit) restore the terminal correctly
  • install_panic_hook() should be called first in main() before any terminal init
  • register_signals() returns a SignalFlags whose should_terminate() method the Plan 03 event loop will poll at the top of each iteration
  • init_terminal() and restore_terminal() are ready for Plan 03 integration into the application entry point
