this test previously didn't fail when accessing freed members of config
because deiniting `command_arena` was a no-op; `command_arena` was derived
from `arena`, which allocated memory after `command_arena` was created/used
This aligns the `buf` of `4096` bytes in the benchmarks to the cache
line, to ensure a consistent number of cache lines are used, and also to
avoid any sub-`usize` alignment issues as seen in
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/8548.
This has less of an effect as
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/8548, and looking at the
before and after of the current benchmarks in the repo doesn't show any
noticeable difference.
In my case, I've been comparing the `table` option with [uucode in this
branch](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/compare/main...jacobsandlund:jacob/uucode?expand=1),
and I did see a difference.
### Before
I ran the before code several times (6 with the exact same binary, but
several more with essentially the same code), always getting something
like this, with `table` edging out `uucode` by something like 3-4ms:
```
Benchmark 1: zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=table
Time (mean ± σ): 927.8 ms ± 1.3 ms [User: 883.7 ms, System: 42.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 926.0 ms … 929.8 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 2: zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=uucode
Time (mean ± σ): 930.9 ms ± 1.4 ms [User: 886.8 ms, System: 42.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 928.5 ms … 933.4 ms 10 runs
```
### After
After this change, it shows `uucode` coming in at 10-11ms (~1%) faster:
```
Benchmark 1: zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=table
Time (mean ± σ): 930.6 ms ± 1.3 ms [User: 886.5 ms, System: 42.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 928.9 ms … 932.4 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 2: zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=uucode
Time (mean ± σ): 920.1 ms ± 1.4 ms [User: 876.3 ms, System: 42.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 918.4 ms … 923.3 ms 10 runs
Summary
zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=uucode ran
1.01 ± 0.00 times faster than zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=table
```
This ~1% faster time checks out, since from looking at the assembly,
it's an exact match minus this small place where the compiler can
optimize `uucode` a little better:
```
# both table.asm/uucode.asm:
140 const high = cp >> 8;
141 const low = cp & 0xFF;
** 142 return self.stage3[self.stage2[self.stage1[high] + low]];
<+464>: ubfx x12, x11, #8, #13
<+468>: ldrh w12, [x27, x12, lsl #1]
<+472>: add x11, x28, w11, uxtb #1
<+476>: ldrh w11, [x11, x12, lsl #1]
# table.asm:
<+480>: lsl x11, x11, #1
** 158 table.get(@intCast(cp)).width);
159 }
160 }
<+484>: ldrb w11, [x22, x11]
# uucode.asm:
** 148 return @field(data(stages, cp), name);
<+480>: ldrh w11, [x22, x11, lsl #1]
```
### More confusion with showing addresses
Confusingly, when I added `std.debug.print("buf addr={}\n",
.{@intFromPtr(&buf)})` to show the addresses, this somehow made the
`before` case show `uucode` as being faster. Then, when I added
alignment, `uucode` and `table` were taking about the same time
(**edit:** _uucode was only ~4 ms faster, but see more in "Edit: more
investigation"_)
If I run without the `std.debug.print` and with `--show-output`, the
times are different, so just making a note of this.
```
Benchmark 1: zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=table
Time (mean ± σ): 904.2 ms ± 1.2 ms [User: 884.6 ms, System: 40.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 902.8 ms … 906.1 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 2: zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=uucode
Time (mean ± σ): 892.7 ms ± 2.0 ms [User: 873.2 ms, System: 40.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 887.9 ms … 895.6 ms 10 runs
Summary
zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=uucode ran
1.01 ± 0.00 times faster than zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=table
```
I think, even with this confusing case, aligning is going to be more
consistent than not.
### Edit: more investigation
I wasn't satisfied with the discovery that adding `std.debug.print` made
this difference and I wanted to dig in and figure out exactly what's
going on, but I didn't get a satisfactory answer. Here's what I tried:
* I compared the un-aligned addresses from `stepTable` and `stepUucode`,
but both seemed similar (not aligned to 128, different each run, but
aligned to 8). Note though that `uucode` was running ~1% faster still,
similar to the aligned case even though here it was un-aligned.
* Instead of doing `std.debug.print` in the step function, I printed in
teardown, just in case. This had no difference in the unaligned case,
but with alignment it brought the ~4 ms faster `uucode` (as noted above)
back closer to the original "after" at around 11-12 ms faster (~1%).
* I forced the `buf` in `stepUucode` to not be aligned (e.g. by making
it `= other_aligned_buf[3..4096 + 3]`). Still it was ~1% faster.
* I compared the assembly of `stepTable` and `stepUucode` for both
aligned and not aligned cases, including doing a diff of the diff of
these two across aligned and not aligned. The only difference between
`stepTable` and `stepUucode` is what's noted above, and nothing stood
out in the double diff.
* I tried going back to the original un-aligned non-printing code, but
then swapped the lines that get from `table` or `uucode`, so that
`stepTable` and `stepUucode` were actually doing the opposite. And the
result is`stepTable` (actually `uucode`) was 10-11 ms (~1%) faster, just
like the aligned case!
In summary, I wasn't able to replicate the original benchmark behavior
_and print out buffer addresses that pointed to alignment being the
issue_. I still feel like in theory aligning the buffer ought to make
the benchmark more reliable, and indeed the original un-aligned version
gives the result that is more of an outlier, but the evidence here is
weak, so I'm alright if we stick with the status quo and close. I think
a lesson here is benchmarks are hard to get precise.
Release notes at:
https://github.com/vancluever/z2d/blob/v0.8.0/CHANGELOG.md
This is a small update and likely contains nothing related to Ghostty,
but I wanted to make sure it got in before the 1.2.0 release since it
contains the removal of non-functional code that wasn't compiling, just
for correctness' sake.
Also if for some reason ARGB/XRGB is needed for some utility purpose,
it's there now. 🙂

* Only update appcast (trigger macOS updates) on `main`-branch triggers
* Echo the release URLs for download as part of the job
* Remove the `release-pr` workflow. We can now use `release-tip`
manually dispatched on a branch because it won't update the appcast.
Fixes#8549
This also brings the release tip workflow more in line with the release
tag workflow by using a setup job to create outputs that are reused by
the other jobs.
This PR was almost fully written by AI (Amp) because being a YAML

Without this change, a phantom space appears after any character with
default emoji presentation that is converted to text with VS15. The only
other terminal I know of that respects variation selectors is Kitty, and
it walks the cursor back, which feels like the best choice, since that
way the behavior is observable (no way to know if the terminal supports
variation selectors otherwise without hard-coding that info per term)
and "dumb" programs like `cat` will output things correctly, and not
gain a phantom space after any VS15'd emoji.

I've been playing with benchmarks over in my [branch swapping out
ziglyph for
uucode](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/compare/main...jacobsandlund:jacob/uucode?expand=1),
and I ran into an interesting issue where benchmarks were giving odd
numbers.
TL;DR: writing to `buf[0]` ends up slowing down the benchmark in
inconsistent ways because it's the same buffer that's being written and
read in the loop, so switching to `std.mem.doNotOptimizeAway` fixes
this.
## Full story:
I ran the `codepoint-width` benchmark with the following (and also did
similarly for `grapheme-bench` and `is-symbol`):
```
zig-out/bin/ghostty-gen +utf8 | head -c 200000000 > data.txt
hyperfine --warmup 4 'zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=table' 'zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=uucode'
```
... and I was surprised to see that `uucode` was 3% slower than Ghostty,
despite similar implementations. I debugged this, bringing the `uucode`
implementation to the exact same assembly (minus offsets) as Ghostty,
even re-using the same table data (fun fact I learned is that even
though these tables are large, zig or LLVM saw they were byte-by-byte
equivalent and optimized them down to one table). Still though, 3%
slower.
Then I realized that if I wrote to a separate `buf` on `self` the
difference went away, and I figured out it's this writing to `buf[0]`
that is tripping up the CPU, because in the next outer loop it'll write
over that again when reading from the data file, and then it's read as
part of getting the code point.
### with buf[0]
```

```
### with buf[0], mode = .uucode
Another interesting thing is that with `buf[0]`, it's highly dependent
on the offsets somehow. If I switched the default mode line from `mode:
Mode = .noop` to `mode: Mode = .uucode`, it shifts the offsets ever so
slightly and even though that default mode is not getting used (since
it's passed in), it flips the results of the benchmark around:
```
Benchmark 1: zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=table
Time (mean ± σ): 973.3 ms ± 2.2 ms [User: 928.9 ms, System: 42.9 ms]

1.03 ± 0.00 times faster than zig-out/bin/ghostty-bench +codepoint-width --data=data.txt --mode=table
```
looking at the assembly with `mode: Mode = .noop`:
```

... shows the only difference is the offsets, which somehow have a large
impact on the result of the benchmark.
This fixes an issue I noticed where manually launching the `ghostty`
binary in the app bundle via the CLI would open the app but not create a
window or bring it to the front.

I noticed that there was an off-by-one error in cell height adjustment
when the number of pixels to add/subtract is odd. The metrics measured
from the top would be shifted by one less than they should, so, for
example, the underline position would move one pixel closer to the
baseline than it had been (or one pixel further away if subtracting).
Also noticed that the overline position was missing here, so added that.

This was never confirmed to be a real issue on GTK, but it is
theoretically possible and good hygiene in general. Typically, we'd get
the title through a binding which comes from a bindinggroup which comes
from the active surface in the active tab. All of this takes multiple
event loop ticks to settle, if you will.
This commit changes it so that if an explicit, static title is set, we
set that title on startup before the window is mapped. The syncing still
happens later, but at least the window will have a title from the
initialization.

I regret to say I don't know the root cause of this. I only know that
the usage of `Stacked` plus `Gtk.Paned` and the way we programmatically
change the paned position and stack child during initialization causes
major issues.
This change isn't without its warts, too, and you can see them heavily
commented in the diff.
(1) We have to workaround a GTK template double-free bug that is well
known to us: if you bind a template child that is also the direct child
of the template class, GTK does a double free on dispose. We workaround
this by removing our child in dispose. Valgrind verifies the fix.
(2) We have to workaround an issue where setting an `Adw.Bin` child
during a glarea realize causes some kind of critical GTK error that
results in a hard crash. We delay changing our bin child to an idle
tick.
