A fixed E4E4E4 segment was 1.04:1 against Kaolin Breeze's EBE8E4 -- an
invisible pill -- and a neutral grey reads as a foreign object on a warm
or cool background anyway. Read the background kitty is showing and place
the segment a fixed contrast step below it, so it keeps the theme's tint.
Default step is 1.12:1; __tide_terminal_segment_contrast overrides it.
Moving the segment invalidates the foregrounds, which are authored at
exactly 4.5:1 against E4E4E4 with no headroom, so re-aim them at the
derived segment by the single ratio the palette's shared luminance ceiling
moved by. That scaling runs in linear light, where luminance is a weighted
sum of the channels and so scales exactly; scaling the encoded channels
drifts further the darker a color gets, which is where the floor binds.
Also fix the baseline capture: the overrides are exported, so a Fish
started from a Fish that had already applied a palette was capturing that
palette as its dark baseline and could never restore dark. Drop inherited
globals first so the baseline comes from the universal scope Tide writes.
Dark mode is unchanged.
`kitten theme` runs the themes kitten -- kitty accepts unambiguous prefixes
-- but the shim tested `$argv[1] = themes` exactly, so that spelling skipped
the capture and re-apply entirely. Before the theme-mode work that was
harmless, since nothing rewrote the automatic theme files; now the next
regeneration reverts whatever was just chosen, which is why picking a theme
stopped sticking.
Accept any prefix of "themes" at least two characters long. Verified that
themes/theme/them/th all trigger and icat still does not.
Saving a theme stopped sticking: the choice was captured only by the fish
`kitten` wrapper, so `kitty +kitten themes`, a keybinding or any non-fish
shell wrote <appearance>-theme.auto.conf directly and the next regeneration
overwrote it from theme-modes. The dark slot had already lost a pick that
way -- dark-theme.auto.conf held #0d0f31 while canonical dark said #2b2c2e.
Move the capture into apply-theme-mode.sh, which every path runs. It records
a cksum of each generated file after the repair step; on the next run a file
whose checksum differs was written by something else, so it becomes canonical
for that appearance. With no state recorded yet nothing is adopted, so a
first run cannot mistake a pinned mode's duplicated files for real choices.
The fish wrapper keeps only its useful part: re-apply the mode and reload so
the change shows at once.
theme-modes/dark.conf is the recovered #0d0f31 (1984). Covered by a new case
in tests/test_theme_mode.sh that writes the theme file with no shell involved.
The ping wrapper only asked whether the *target* had an AAAA record, never
whether this machine could reach over IPv6, so `ping ya.ru` ran ping6 and
died with "No route to host" while IPv4 worked fine.
Checking for a default v6 route is not sufficient either: this Mac has one
while holding only ::1 and fe80:: link-locals. So require a global unicast
address (2000::/3) as well as the route, which is the condition that
actually fails here.
ping4 is now platform-split rather than branching internally, since macOS
ping rejects -4:
macOS ~/.local/bin/ping (wrapper) and ~/.local/bin/ping4 -> /sbin/ping
Linux a fish function running `ping -4`
.chezmoiignore gates each side so neither lands where it cannot work.
`kitten themes` treats every .conf in <config-dir>/themes as a user
theme, which the mode system's canonical store was sitting in -- so the
picker was offering three bogus entries named light, dark and
no-preference, and had been since that store was introduced.
Move the store to ./theme-modes so ./themes means only what the kitten
means by it, and repoint apply-theme-mode.sh, the kitten shim, the
run_after hook and the test at the new path.
GrokNight and GrokDay move into ./themes with the ## name/author/
license/upstream/blurb header the kitten reads, so they now show up in
`kitten themes` and `--dump-theme` resolves them.
theme-modes/dark.conf carries the #202020 theme that was already on
disk: the file had to be re-added at its new path, so that drift comes
along with it.
kitty gives *-theme.auto.conf priority over everything -- includes and
even --override -- and has no option to stop following the OS. So the
only way to start in a chosen mode is to control what those files
contain. Make them generated:
themes/{light,dark,no-preference}.conf canonical, the real themes
theme-mode auto | light | dark
apply-theme-mode.sh writes the three .auto.conf
Under `auto` each appearance keeps its own theme, so kitty follows the
OS as before. Pinned, all three get the pinned theme, so kitty starts in
it whatever the OS says and a config reload no longer resets it.
`theme` now records the mode and reloads instead of calling set-colors,
which is why the setting survives restarts. A bare `theme` records
`auto` rather than pinning when the toggle lands on the macOS
appearance, so nothing is pinned unless it actually differs.
The kitten shim hashes the automatic theme files before running `kitten
themes` and copies whichever changed into themes/, so picking a new
light theme while pinned to dark is kept and applied on the next switch.
Covered by tests/test_theme_mode.sh.
conf.d/kitty_theme.fish is gone: theme-mode is now the source of truth,
so the universal-variable tracker it maintained is redundant.
__kitty_tab_set sent a luminance-picked black/white active_fg, so a
tinted tab's title looked different from a normal one. Send NONE
instead: tab_fg() then falls back to the shared active foreground (the
theme background) while active_bg keeps the per-host tint.
Covered by a new case in tests/test_tab_bar_colors.py matching what
__kitty_tab_set actually sends — host background, no fg override.
The bare command substitution ran on every shell start regardless of
platform, so Linux/WSL printed "fish: Unknown command: security" at
login — the 2>/dev/null only redirects the command's own stderr, not
fish's command-not-found diagnostic.
Guard with `type -q security`, matching conf.d/codex-github-mcp.fish,
and skip the export when the lookup returns nothing so a missing
keychain item no longer exports an empty GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN.
`theme` switches kitty between the existing dark-theme.auto.conf and
light-theme.auto.conf via `kitty @ set-colors --all --configured`, so it
stays in sync with whatever `kitten themes --light/--dark` selects.
Subcommands: light, dark, auto (hand control back to the OS appearance
via load-config), status.
Tide is resynced by calling __tide_apply_terminal_appearance directly,
so the prompt recolors even if kitty sends no palette-change
notification for a dynamic color change. conf.d/kitty_theme.fish tracks
$fish_terminal_color_theme into $kitty_theme_mode so the toggle still
reads the real state after kitty follows an OS appearance change.
light-theme.auto.conf had no tab colors, which left the dark tab bar on
a light background after switching; add a matching tab style block.
Tint the kitty tab background by target host so local vs remote (and
which remote) is visible at a glance.
- __kitty_host_color: explicit color table for known hosts (routers,
resolvers, ryzen/mini, personal cloud, geo VPS) + stable hashed
palette fallback; auto-picks readable fg by luminance
- __kitty_ssh_host: parse target host from ssh/mosh-style argv
- __kitty_tab_set/__kitty_tab_reset: active tab = full host-color bg,
inactive tab = dark theme bg with host-color text; revert on exit
- ssh wrapper + s (kitten ssh) and m (mosh) wired to tint/reset
Also includes unrelated pending dotfile changes (GH MCP PAT from
keychain in fish/zsh, kitty/wezterm font_size 15->14, kitty
colorspace displayp3) committed together at user request.

Extract tide configuration into a reusable fish function (tide-reset)
and call it from the chezmoi onchange script. Also revert treesitter
config to the stable API (nvim-treesitter.configs).

Kitty doesn't set TERM_PROGRAM, check TERM=xterm-kitty instead.
Also use modern `kitten ssh` command.

- Use antonme/tide fork (from plttn/tide v7) which includes fix for
bold leaking from home directory pwd rendering
- Replace fragile index-based tide_right_prompt_items removal with
explicit name-based filtering of node, gcloud, and kubectl
