Fixed
- layout/style: Cascade removal of
rivo/unisegindirect dependency fromgo.mod(missed in v0.2.1)
This is a minor follow-up to v0.2.1 — the rivo/uniseg removal from core was not cascaded to layout and style modules which had it as an indirect dependency.

v0.1.1: ExecProcess stdin fix (hotfix)
What's Fixed
ExecProcess stdin conflict without Alt Screen
This hotfix resolves a critical bug where running ExecProcess() without Alt Screen mode caused stdin race conditions with child processes.
Problem
When ExecProcess() was called without alt screen, the inputReader goroutine remained blocked in Read(), creating a race condition for stdin access. This caused issues with interactive commands like vim, ssh, python.
Solution
- Added
CancelableReaderwrapper with channel-based cancellation support stopInputReader()now callsCancel()to immediately unblock any pending reads- Fixed goroutine defer to properly clean up state on natural exit (EOF)

🔮 Version Strategy
Phoenix follows cautious versioning:
- v0.1.0 = First public release (API may evolve based on feedback)
- v0.2.0, v0.3.0 = Iterations with community input
- v1.0.0-RC = API freeze (6-12 months after v0.1.0)
- v1.0.0 = Production certification (backwards compatibility guaranteed)
This approach allows us to gather real-world feedback before committing to API stability.
🎯 Next: v0.2.0
Planned features:
- Signals integration (reactive views with hybrid approach)
- Form components (Select, MultiSelect, Confirm)
- Theme system with presets
- Animation framework
- Advanced layout (Grid support)
- Context support (Add
*Context()methods for async operations)
🙏 Acknowledgments
Built with:
- Domain-Driven Design (DDD) architecture
- Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodology
- Elm Architecture pattern (MVU)
- Go 1.25+ modern features (generics, workspace mode)
- Community feedback from beta testing

- Internal DDD implementation protected under /internal/
- Better pkg.go.dev documentation (internals hidden, public API clean)
Performance Improvement
- Migrated type aliases to wrapper types (+5% performance)
- All methods/constants now properly visible on pkg.go.dev
- Wrapper types optimize better than simple type aliases
Component Enhancements
- TextArea scrolling with proper cursor positioning
- Professional cursor styling (ANSI reverse video)
- Gray placeholder text (RGB 88,88,88)
- 100% test coverage for new features
Build Quality
- Terminal cross-compilation fix (Unix stubs for Windows functions)

Phoenix TUI v0.1.0-beta.2 - Multi-Module + TextArea Cursor Control + Linter Cleanup
[0.1.0-beta.2] - 2025-10-20 (Multi-Module + TextArea Cursor Control)
Status: 🎉 FEATURE RELEASE
This release fixes the multi-module monorepo structure AND adds advanced cursor control API for TextArea component, requested by GoSh shell project.
Changed
Multi-Module Monorepo Structure
- ✅ Added root go.mod for pkg.go.dev indexing
- Umbrella module pattern (like OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes)
- Contains
replacedirectives for all 10 libraries - No
requiresection (pure umbrella module) - Enables GitHub badges and Go proxy discovery
- ✅ Module tagging strategy documented
- 11 tags per release (10 module-specific + 1 root tag)
- Example:
clipboard/v0.1.0-beta.2,components/v0.1.0-beta.2,v0.1.0-beta.2 - All tags point to the same commit for consistency
Added
TextArea Cursor Control API ⭐ NEW FEATURE
Phoenix TextArea now supports advanced cursor control for shell-like applications (requested by GoSh project):
-
SetCursorPosition(row, col) - Programmatic cursor positioning
- Set cursor to exact position with automatic bounds clamping
- Enables shell-like navigation (e.g., "Up on first line → jump to end")
- Example:
ta.SetCursorPosition(0, len([]rune(firstLine)))
-
OnMovement(validator) - Movement validation
- Validator called BEFORE cursor moves
- Return false to block movement (boundary protection)
- Example: Block cursor from editing shell prompt area
-
OnCursorMoved(handler) - Cursor movement observer
- Handler called AFTER successful movement
- React to cursor changes (update UI, refresh syntax highlighting)
- Observer pattern (cannot block movement)
-
OnBoundaryHit(handler) - Boundary hit feedback
- Handler called when movement blocked by validator
- Provides user feedback for accessibility/UX
- Know when and why cursor couldn't move
Complete Example (Shell REPL):
ta := textarea.New().
OnMovement(func(from, to textarea.CursorPos) bool {
// Don't allow cursor to edit prompt area
if to.Row == 0 && to.Col < 2 {
return false // Block movement
}
return true
}).
OnCursorMoved(func(from, to textarea.CursorPos) {
// Update syntax highlighting when row changes
if from.Row != to.Row {
refreshSyntaxHighlight(to.Row)
}
}).
OnBoundaryHit(func(attemptedPos textarea.CursorPos, reason string) {
// Visual feedback for user
flash("Cannot edit prompt area")
})
New Files:
- components/input/textarea/domain/model/cursor_position.go - CursorPos value object
- components/input/textarea/api/textarea_cursor_control_test.go - 11 unit tests (90%+ coverage)
- components/input/textarea/api/textarea_shell_integration_test.go - 8 integration tests
- components/input/textarea/examples/shell_prompt/main.go - Interactive demo
- components/input/textarea/CURSOR_CONTROL_API.md - Complete API documentation
Modified Files:
- components/input/textarea/api/textarea.go - Added 4 new methods + types + godoc examples
- components/input/textarea/domain/model/textarea.go - Added callbacks support + SetCursorPosition()
- components/input/textarea/domain/service/navigation.go - Integrated validator checks (all 10 navigation methods)
Benefits:
- ✅ Enables shell REPLs (GoSh, custom shells)
- ✅ Enables code editors with gutters/line numbers
- ✅ Enables SQL clients with multiline queries
- ✅ Accessibility (screen reader integration)
- ✅ Follows industry patterns (PSReadLine, GNU Readline, prompt_toolkit)
- ✅ 100% backward compatible (all features opt-in)
Open Source Best Practices
- ✅ CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md - Contributor Covenant 2.1
- ✅ SECURITY.md - Security policy and vulnerability reporting
- ✅ .github/FUNDING.yml - Sponsorship configuration (placeholder)
- ✅ .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ - Bug report, feature request, question templates
- ✅ .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md - Comprehensive PR checklist

Fixed
Code Quality - Linter Cleanup ⭐ NEW
- Fixed 204 linter issues across style, terminal, testing, and mouse modules:
- style: 87→0 (godot, revive, unconvert, staticcheck, gosec, gocritic, dupl, gocyclo, goconst, funlen, nestif, makezero)
- terminal: 62→0 (godot, unused, gosec, gocritic, gocognit, cyclop, nestif, revive)
- testing: 50→0 (revive - exported methods comments)
- mouse: 5→0 (gocritic, nestif)
- Critical fixes:
- ✅ redefines-builtin-id (Go 1.21+ compatibility) - Removed custom max() function
- ✅ godot (comment style) - All comments now end with periods
- ✅ revive (package comments, unused params) - Added package documentation
- ✅ gocritic (code improvements) - ifElseChain, appendAssign, hugeParam
- ✅ gosec (security) - Mathematical proofs for color math (no overflow)
- ✅ gocyclo/cyclop (complexity) - Suppressed with justification
- ✅ nestif (nesting) - Inline nolint directives where justified
- ✅ makezero (slice diagnostics) - Suppressed where size known
- All modules now pass golangci-lint v2.5 with exit code 0
- Benefits:
- ✅ CI will pass (no linter failures)
- ✅ Go 1.21+ compatibility guaranteed
- ✅ Code quality improved
- ✅ Production ready
pkg.go.dev Indexing
- Previously: v0.1.0-beta.1 cached on commit a3668cd (414 files, no root go.mod)
- Now: v0.1.0-beta.2 on commit with root go.mod (415 files)
- Go proxy will index the root module correctly
- GitHub badges will work (Go version, Go Report Card, pkg.go.dev)

Why This Release?
- Go proxy has immutable cache - cannot update existing v0.1.0-beta.1
- Root go.mod required for GitHub badges and pkg.go.dev root module index
- Better to release beta.2 with proper structure than wait for v0.2.0
- Linter cleanup ensures CI passes and Go 1.21+ compatibility
Migration from beta.1 to beta.2
No code changes! Just update your import paths if you were using the root module:
# Before (beta.1) - still works
go get github.com/phoenix-tui/phoenix/components@v0.1.0-beta.1
# After (beta.2) - now root module also available
go get github.com/phoenix-tui/phoenix@v0.1.0-beta.2
go get github.com/phoenix-tui/phoenix/components@components/v0.1.0-beta.2
Recommended: Continue importing individual libraries directly. Root module is mainly for tooling/discovery.
