* drop io.lines()Kartik K. Agaram2022-02-021-13/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'd already dropped the variant without a filename. But even the variant with a filename is very easy to use in a way that is confusing to use in the presence of sandboxing: * call io.lines() * Sandboxing saves an error, io.lines() returns nil * Caller (usually a loop) raises an error. * We show the error and not the sandboxing failure. * Worse, there's no way to adjust permissions from within Teliva, because we can't ever get to that menu while there's an error. Best solution I can come up with: encourage a separate step for translating filename to file handle. That way it's more obvious that we need to check for errors.

* more precise control over menu orderKartik K. Agaram2021-12-221-1/+1
| | | | I can't believe I didn't notice this until now.
* nail down trusted Teliva channels a little moreKartik K. Agaram2021-12-211-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In each session, Teliva has to bootstrap a trusted channel with the computer owner while running arbitrarily untrusted code. So let's get really, really precise about what the trusted channel consists of: - the bottom-most row of screen containing the menu - the keystrokes the owner types in - ncurses COLOR_PAIR slots 254 (menu) and 255 (error) One reason the menu colors are important: we don't want people to get used to apps that hide the menu colors by setting default foreground/background to invisible and then drawing their own menu one row up. The error COLOR_PAIR I don't see any reason to carve out right now, but it seems like a good idea for Teliva the framework to not get into the habit of apps doing some things for it. I'm not sure how realistic all this is (I feel quite ill-equipped to think about security), but it seems worthwhile to err on the side of paranoia. Teliva will be paranoid so people don't have to be.
* pay more attention to where we display the cursorKartik K. Agaram2021-12-181-0/+1
| | | | | It's still just in app control; I'm resisting the urge to introduce "smarts".

* more configurable colorsKartik K. Agaram2021-12-061-3/+3
| | | | | Also start using 256 colors, under the assumption most people will have them.
* start showing call stack on errorsKartik K. Agaram2021-12-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | It turns out Lua has been providing us this information all along! I'd just not created the space on screen to show it. Make it persist better. Kilo now no longer tracks its own status messages, which is a regression in a rare condition.

* add support for metadata in Teliva programsKartik K. Agaram2021-11-261-0/+1
| | | | They don't have any semantics yet. We just ignore them for now.
* monotonically accumulate versions of definitionsKartik K. Agaram2021-11-241-5/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | One old drawback now has a new look. Before, we loaded definitions in order, so global definitions had to exist before other global definitions that used them. See window and grid in life.tlv. Now we load definitions in reverse order, so initialization needs to change. Worse, if we update window, we need to edit grid just to fix the order. This implies that we can't yet optimize away bindings where there are no new changes.
