The GLSL to MSL conversion process uses a passed-in sampler state for
the `iChannel0` parameter and we weren't providing it. This magically
worked on Apple Silicon for unknown reasons but failed on Intel GPUs.
In normal, hand-written MSL, we'd explicitly create the sampler state as
a normal variable (we do this in `shaders.metal` already!), but the
Shadertoy conversion stuff doesn't do this, probably because the exact
sampler parameters can't be safely known.
This fixes a Metal validation error when using custom shaders:
```
-[MTLDebugRenderCommandEncoder validateCommonDrawErrors:]:5970: failed
assertion `Draw Errors Validation Fragment Function(main0): missing Sampler
binding at index 0 for iChannel0Smplr[0].
```
This fixes a Metal validation error in Xcode when using custom shaders.
I suspect this is one part of custom shaders not working properly on
Intel macs (probably anything with a discrete GPU).
This happens to work on Apple Silicon but this is undefined behavior and
we're just getting lucky.
There is one more issue I'm chasing down that I think is also still
blocking custom shaders working on Intel macs.
Follow-up to #8720 adding
* Two improvements to FreeType glyph measurements:
- Ensuring that glyphs are measured with the same hinting as they are
rendered, ref
[#8720#issuecomment-3305408157](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/8720#issuecomment-3305408157);
- For outline glyphs, using the outline bbox instead of the built-in
metrics, like `renderGlyph()`.
* Basic unit tests for face metrics and their estimators, using the
narrowest and widest fonts from the resource directory, Cozette Vector
and Geist Mono.

I also made one unrelated change to `freetype.zig`, replacing
`@alignCast(@ptrCast(...))` with `@ptrCast(@alignCast(...))` on line
173. Autoformatting has been making this change on every save for weeks,
and reverting the hunk before each commit is getting old, so I hope it's
OK that I use this PR to upstream this decree from the formatter.
Fixes#8683
The selection scrolling logic should only depend on the y value of the
cursor position, not the x value. This presents unwanted scroll
behaviors, such as reversing the scroll direction which was just a side
effect of attempting to scroll tick to begin with.
This was a very common pitfall for users. The new logic will reload the
font-size at runtime, but only if the font wasn't manually set by the
user using actions such as `increase_font_size`, `decrease_font_size`,
or `set_font_size`. The `reset_font_size` action will reset our state
to assume the font-size wasn't manually set.
I also updated a comment about `font-family` not reloading at runtime;
this wasn't true even prior to this commit.
Fixes#8667
The binding `a=text:=` didn't parse properly.
This is a band-aid solution. It works and we have test coverage for it
thankfully. Longer term we should move the parser to a fully
state-machine based parser that parses the trigger first then the
action, to avoid these kind of things.
Config contains the command, working directory, and environment
variables intended to be passed to the new split, but it looks like we
forgot to include it as an argument in this branch.

Fixes#8616
macOS 26 (as of RC1) has some pathological performance bug where the
terminal becomes unusably slow after some period of time. We aren't 100%
sure what triggers the slowdown, but it is app-wide (new tabs or windows
don't resolve it) and Instruments traces point directly to
NSAutoFillHeuristicController. Specifically, to the `debounceTextUpdate`
selector.
This is all not documented as far as I can find and also not open
source, so I have no idea what's going on.
The best I can tell is that the NSAutoFillHeuristicController has
something to do with enabling heuristic-based autofill such as SMS auth
codes in text input fields. I don't know what is causing it to go
haywire.
SMS autofill is not desirable in a terminal app, nor is any of the other
automatic autofill in macOS I know of (contact info, passwords, etc.).
So, we can just disable it.
This default isn't documented but I found it via a strings dump of the
AppKit binary blob and comparing it to the disassembly to see how it is
used. In my limited testing, this seems to work around the problem.

This fixes an issue where new tabs would not have the proper transparent
background set whilst in native fullscreen. This is because in native
fullscreen, the NSTitlebarView always is visible, so our guard was
preventing us from setting it before.

Closes#8608
iterm2_themes now provides terminal-specific releases, this reduces the
size of the dependency from 55MB->53kB.
- Update the `.github/workflows/update-colorschemes.yml` to track the
latest release and fetch the ghostty-specific theme archive.
Fixes#8568
This will hide snap issues from PRs which is not ideal but we can
address that in the future. We still run snap CI for main.
This more importantly ensures that CI can be green for maintainers to
merge.
Use relative cluster positioning to allow identical texts runs in
different row positions to share the same cache entry.
I am opening this PR clean w/o the cache size change. There could be
some benefit to a larger 256->512 shaper cache, but this still performs
amazingly well and I don't know the full memory impacts of moving the
cache size up.

This is a hacky fix to fix some visual glitches when titlebar tabs is on
and we're using the `move_tab` keybinding action (I test via the command
palette).
There is probably a more graceful way to fix this but this might be good
enough for a 1.2 to fix a very obviously nasty UI render.
