Priority: P2 | Area: area:ui | Labels: feat, P2, area:ui | Milestone: v0.1.0 | RFC: OQ-004 | Task: CTX-1009

Closes #1760

Summary

Wires the bitty-url-detector matcher (detect_urls, v0.0.1, zero-dep, forbid(unsafe), git-rev 5c65773 — same pin convention as bitty-ipc/bitty-network-wire) into the same ValidatedUrl + ActivationGesture pipeline as OSC 8:

Tests

  • Unit (plaintext_url.rs, 6): ASCII offsets, unicode-prefix byte-vs-col, wide lead/spacer, git:// fail-closed, hostile corpus, blanks.
  • Integration (plaintext_url_1760.rs, 12): plain-no-gesture, Ctrl arm+open once, no-selection on Ctrl+press, plain drag selects, Ctrl-gated hover/pointer/span, leave clears, hostile never mints, git:// never opens, unicode/wide boundaries, tick clears stale hover, OSC 8 precedence.
  • App (terminal_app/tests.rs, 2): plaintext click reaches live consumer, hover syncs OS pointer headlessly.
  • Existing: m1_hyperlink_open (5), runtime_plugin (23), bitty-platform url (10), bitty-terminal --bins (633) — all pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime detects and validates plaintext URLs in terminal grid text, tracks modifier-gated hover spans, and supports Ctrl/Cmd-click activation. The terminal renders hover underlines and pointer feedback, while the platform exposes cursor selection. OSC 8 links retain precedence.

Changes

Plaintext URL interaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform cursor API
crates/bitty-platform/src/event.rs, crates/bitty-platform/src/app.rs, crates/bitty-platform/src/lib.rs
The platform adds CursorIcon variants and a WindowHandle method that applies the selected icon to the window.
URL detection and hover resolution
crates/bitty-runtime/Cargo.toml, crates/bitty-runtime/src/runtime/plaintext_url.rs, crates/bitty-runtime/src/runtime.rs, crates/bitty-runtime/src/lib.rs, crates/bitty-runtime/src/runtime/layout_focus.rs
The runtime reconstructs grid rows, detects and validates plaintext URLs, maps matches to cell spans, and resolves hover through the owning view.
URL activation and hover lifecycle
crates/bitty-runtime/src/runtime/input.rs, crates/bitty-runtime/src/runtime/resize.rs, crates/bitty-runtime/src/runtime/plaintext_url.rs, crates/bitty-runtime/tests/plaintext_url_1760.rs, crates/bitty-terminal/src/tests.rs
Modifier-clicks over plaintext URLs can queue activation. Pointer and modifier changes refresh hover state. Tests cover activation, selection behavior, URL validation, grid mapping, and OSC 8 precedence.
Hover rendering and cursor feedback
crates/bitty-runtime/src/runtime/present.rs, crates/bitty-terminal/src/terminal_app.rs, crates/bitty-terminal/src/tests.rs
The runtime paints an underline for a visible hovered span. The terminal synchronizes and caches the platform cursor icon, with tests for pointer and text cursor changes.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2f4fe

Cmd-gated link interaction may use stale modifier state on some event sequences. The impact is localized, but the behavior remains unresolved, so merge risk is low with owner awareness.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2f4fe

The existing URL restrictions and single-use authorization limit exposure, but the new activation path can open a link during a Shift-forced selection gesture. Cmd/Super state synchronization also leaves a conditional consent risk whose platform reachability remains unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · observed: Shift-forced selection and URL authorization use different policies. With Ctrl or Super held, Shift bypasses plaintext interception and permits selection, but a left release over a safe plaintext URL still mints activation. The live consumer opens that target without checking Shift. This newly allows terminal-supplied text to trigger an external handler during a gesture designated for selection.
  • Low · security · inferred: The new plaintext gate relies on the Super latch, but ModifiersChanged discards the platform's Super snapshot. If a Super release is not reflected by a named-key update before mouse release, a stale true latch can authorize a plaintext URL without the modifier currently held. The synchronization omission predates this PR; plaintext authorization is new exposure. Native reachability remains unverified, and named Super events provide compensating updates.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A process or remote session capable of supplying terminal text can supply a permitted URL for the new interaction path. The evidenced outcome requires user mouse interaction and reaches the local desktop URL handler; arbitrary shell execution or additional service, tenant, datastore, or secret authority is not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The concrete consent failure is a Ctrl/Super-plus-Shift selection release over a plaintext URL: selection handling completes, release processing mints URL authority, and the terminal application consumes it. URL validation restricts the target's syntax and scheme but does not distinguish selection intent from activation intent.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Terminal text supplies a candidate target, not launch authority by itself. The live consumer uses the runtime's stored URI and single-use gesture, revalidates the target, and invokes a fixed native executable with separate arguments rather than a shell. These controls contain target substitution, replay, and command-injection exposure but cannot repair an incorrectly minted gesture.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Modifier snapshots and named-key events are competing sources for authorization state. Per-tick hover revalidation rereads the same latch and cannot independently correct a stale Super value. Whether supported native backends expose that sequence remains unresolved.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Use one activation policy for interception and gesture minting that respects Shift selection ownership, and synchronize every modifier consumed by that policy from platform snapshots. Exercise modified selection, focus transitions, and Super snapshot sequences as authorization-state transitions.

🟡 Minor · Copy super_pressed from the modifier snapshot. · resize.rs:687-702

crates/bitty-runtime/src/runtime/resize.rs:687-702
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Copy super_pressed from the modifier snapshot.

Winit represents macOS Command in ModifiersChanged and does not guarantee a corresponding KeyboardInput with NamedKey::Super. This handler ignores mods.super_pressed, but plaintext hover and activation read self.super_pressed. When a snapshot changes without a named key event, Cmd hover or click can fail to arm, or remain armed after release.

Suggested fix
                     self.alt_pressed = mods.alt;
+                    self.super_pressed = mods.super_pressed;

124-127: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Remove the vacuous selection assertion.

The test releases at the press cell, so the runtime drops the empty Simple selection. selection_owner() is expected to be None here, and the proposed replacement would fail. The plain-drag test exercises the same unmodified URL press and checks that selection survives movement, so this assertion adds no coverage.

Suggested cleanup
-    // Selection path still works: a plain press starts a highlight.
-    assert!(
-        rt.selection().is_some() || rt.selection_owner().is_some() || true,
-        "selection path must remain reachable (no panic, no gesture)"
-    );

- Around line 606-639: Update the plaintext activation flow using
safe_plaintext_url_at so a Ctrl+left press records the URL under the press, and
the paired release queues activation only when it is over that same URL. If the
press began outside a plaintext URL or the URLs differ, let the release complete
the selection without clearing it or activating a URL.

Runtime::tick() in drive_tick so the OS cursor reflects hover changes caused by

Skip unchanged plaintext URL hit tests.

When Ctrl or Super is held and the pointer resolves to a live, unscrolled cell without OSC 8 ownership, each tick snapshots the owner grid and scans the pointer’s row before the idle short-circuit. A snapshot can clone up to 1,000,000 cells. A fully quiet window has no repeated timer ticks without a pending deadline, but animation wakeups can run this path every 16 ms.

Resolve the current pointer target, then skip the snapshot and row scan only when the owner view, cell, grid generation, and scroll state match the cached key. Grid changes must trigger a re-scan so a newly written URL appears under a stationary pointer. Do not skip only when no URL is hovered; that misses newly appearing URLs.

Require a matching Ctrl+left press before opening a plaintext URL.

When Ctrl is held and the left press starts outside a plaintext URL, the press starts a selection. If the pointer then moves onto a URL, release clears that selection and queues the URL for activation. Record the URL under the press and activate only when the paired release is over the same URL; otherwise, let the release complete the selection.

Update the plaintext activation flow using safe_plaintext_url_at so a Ctrl+left
press records the URL under the press, and the paired release queues activation
only when it is over that same URL. If the press began outside a plaintext URL
or the URLs differ, let the release complete the selection without clearing it
or activating a URL.

Sync the plaintext cursor after each runtime tick.

When PTY output removes a hovered URL, AboutToWait polls that output and then calls drive_tick(). Runtime::tick() revalidates hover and can switch the runtime icon to Text, but sync_plaintext_cursor() runs before the event-specific branch. The window can keep Pointer until another event. Sync the cursor immediately after Runtime::tick().

Suggested fix
         let stats = self.runtime.tick();
+        self.sync_plaintext_cursor();
         // CTX-0481 (#762): after the tick commits, publish the live plugin

Call sync_plaintext_cursor immediately after Runtime::tick() in drive_tick so
the OS cursor reflects hover changes caused by each runtime tick.
