# paperclip-harness TUI editor pitfall: illegal rune literal after patching Go files
|
||||
|
||||
While adding help overlays across TUI files, the patch step produced many Go compile errors in `project.go`, `repair.go`, `reply.go`, `work.go` around lines ~200–260: `illegal rune literal` / `more than one character in rune literal` — i.e., multi-character box-drawing fragments ended up inside single-quoted rune literals instead of double-quoted strings. A follow-up error was `m.showHelp undefined (type replyModel has no field or method showHelp)` because the overlay flag was added to some models but not `replyModel`.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical takeaways for this repo: after bulk-editing box-drawing/help overlay code, run `go build ./...` immediately and check both (a) that box-drawing lines use string literals not rune literals, and (b) that every model receiving a `showHelp` key binding actually has a `showHelp` field. The build was green after fixing both.
|
||||
|
||||
## Detailed observations from completed turn
|
||||
|
||||
Found the real reason you see no icons, and it was not the server.
|
||||
|
||||
## Icons: the font was missing on `.27`, not `.13`
|
||||
|
||||
Your terminal on `.27` is what draws the characters. `.27` had 98 Nerd Font entries installed but its Ghostty config contained only `term = xterm-256color` — no `font-family`, so Ghostty used its own **plain** JetBrains Mono, which has no icon glyphs. The tick shows because `✓` is an ordinary character; the Nerd icons are private-use codepoints that a plain font simply does not have.
|
||||
|
||||
I appended to `~/.config/ghostty/config` on `.27` (backup at `config.bak-icons`):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
font-family = "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font"
|
||||
font-size = 12
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Reopen the terminal window on `.27` (or reload Ghostty's config) and the icons should appear. If they still do not, say so and I will switch the panels back to plain characters by default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Built since you left
|
||||
|
||||
- **`?` on every panel** — an overlay listing the keys that work there, and nothing else. `esc` or `?` closes it.
|
||||
- **`/` filter on the board** — type part of an identifier, a title or an assignee and the list narrows; the count and the chosen task follow the filter, so what is highlighted is always what would be acted on. The header shows `filter: CHANGE▌` while you type.
|
||||
- **`u` unblock** — on a task whose blocker has finished but which still says blocked, one key sets it to todo with a comment. That is the state you had to hand-fix earlier.
|
||||
- **Mouse clicks on task rows** — one click-zone manager created once and the whole view scanned through it, as the rules require. Clicking a row selects it and loads its detail. I cannot verify a click from here, so treat it as untested until you try it.
|
||||
- **`B` on Repair** — add only the panes that are missing, never closing any. Safe to press from inside a pane, unlike `R`.
|
||||
|
||||
All seven panes rebuilt cleanly afterwards, and every screen drew.
|
||||
|
||||
Screenshots refreshed in `/tmp/mockups/`. Committed as `09e32da`.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I would build next, in this order
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Needs-you cards that act** — each card gets its own key: unblock, assign, open the conversation. Right now the panel tells you what needs you but you act in another panel.
|
||||
2. **A settings tab that writes** — the verify command per project, edited in place, which is the one thing the Author form cannot express today.
|
||||
3. **Diff beside the conversation** — the wide-screen arrangement from the spec: tree, thread, diff on one workspace, so a claim and its code sit together.
|
||||
4. **Search across the project** — one key that filters tasks, comments and activity together, for when you remember a phrase but not the task.
|
||||
|
||||
Tell me which of those you want first, and whether the icons appear after reopening the terminal.

## Update (2026-11-10 05:00:01)
|
||||
|
||||
Observed while debugging blank icons in the paperclip-harness TUI: the server-side panes were fine; the rendering host `.27` was the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
- `.27` has 98 Nerd Font files installed, but `~/.config/ghostty/config` contained only `term = xterm-256color`.
|
||||
- With no `font-family`, Ghostty used its bundled plain JetBrains Mono, which has no Nerd Font private-use codepoints, so icons rendered blank.
|
||||
- The checkmark `✓` still appeared because it is an ordinary Unicode character present in plain fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
Diagnostic rule: if ordinary glyphs render but Nerd icons are blank, inspect the *terminal emulator's* font config on the display host before touching the TUI rendering code.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix: append `font-family = "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font"` and `font-size = 12` to `~/.config/ghostty/config` (backup `config.bak-icons`); reopen the terminal or reload config.
