- KRunner: rewritten to use plan9port 9p command for all operations
(list sessions, kill, one-shot generate). No D-Bus dependency.
- Tray: removed. Was a thin D-Bus status wrapper, not useful enough
to justify maintaining.
- Plasmoid: removed. GUI is standalone now.
- Kate: temporarily disabled in CMake. Header partially converted to
9P (D-Bus includes removed, QProcess/9P helpers declared). Full
conversion is next.
- All ninepBin() helpers use $PLAN9/bin/9p (not hardcoded path).
- CMake: removed Qt5::DBus, KF5::Notifications, KF5::Plasma deps.
Only remaining link deps: Qt5::Core, Qt5::Widgets, Qt5::Quick,
Qt5::QuickControls2, KF5::Runner.
Kill the entire D-Bus rendering pipeline. The GUI now uses plan9port's
9p command as a subprocess for all server communication:
- Chat streaming: persistent 'read chat' process, readyReadStandardOutput
delivers tokens directly to QML (no polling, no signals, no offsets)
- State: 'read statewait' process, restarts on each state change
- Session list: 'read session/idx' one-shot
- Submit/stop/kill: 'write prompt/ctl' one-shot
The QML is stripped to fundamentals: session list + monospace streaming
text (last 8KB tail) + input field. No ChatBlockModel, no ThemeManager,
no OllieDBusClient, no syntax highlighting, no markdown rendering.
This eliminates the multi-second GUI freezes caused by:
- QTextDocument relayout on 200KB+ accumulated text
- loadEarlier cascade creating hundreds of delegates
- KSyntaxHighlighting::Repository blocking init
- Offset mismatch triggering synchronous D-Bus calls
Features will be re-added incrementally on this proven foundation.
D-Bus retained only for plasmoid/tray/KRunner (desktop integration).
