- kte refuses to start when stdin is not a terminal: piped bytes were
executed as editor commands (C-k s plus a path writes a file), and
after EOF the loop spun at full CPU with no way to quit.
- The terminal frontend handles all pending input before drawing (a
paste used to cost a frame and a full redraw per character) and
redraws only after input, a resize or deferred opens, else once a
second. The renderer caches, per row and buffer version, where the
horizontally scrolled part of a line starts and the cursor's render
column, instead of rescanning the line every frame. Idle CPU with the
cursor at the end of a 20 MB line: one full core -> ~1%.
- Buffers with a virtual name (+HELP+) are not journaled and saving one
asks for a file name; it used to write ./+HELP+ and journal under
that path.
- Yank with a repeat count is capped at 256 MiB in total instead of
reserving count x size bytes (C-u 1000000 C-y of a large kill).
- Remove an overload clang reports as unused (-Werror on macOS).

- Created `piece-table-migration.md` outlining the steps to transition from GapBuffer to a unified PieceTable architecture.
- Included phased approach: extending PieceTable, Buffer adapter layer, command updates, and renderer changes.
- Detailed API changes, file updates, testing strategy, risk assessment, and timeline for each migration phase.
- Document serves as a reference for architecture goals and implementation details.
- Replace header include guards with `#pragma once` and perform minor optimizations.
- Replaced traditional include guards with `#pragma once` for simplicity and to reduce boilerplate in all headers.
- Improved CLI line number handling with clamping and error messaging.
- Enhanced `chdir` error handling for macOS GUI builds.
- Removed redundant logic for GUI builds.
- Adjusted font constructor and registry to handle `const` data pointers consistently.
- Add visual file picker for GUI with toggle support.
- Introduce `GUIConfig` class for loading GUI settings from configuration file.
- Refactor window initialization to support dynamic sizing based on configuration.
- Add macOS-specific handling for fullscreen behavior.
- Improve header inclusion order and minor code cleanup.
