Shift, Control, and their kin were mapped to special keys that the
engine then had a range and a check to ignore, and the GTK module made a
round trip to the daemon for each press. ipckeysym maps them to key 0,
which was already the "no key" every frontend and the engine skip;
Kmodfirst, Kmodlast, and ismodkey go.
Clicking elsewhere, changing focus, or any client reset dropped the
composition in the GTK module and IBus (only XIM ResetIC handed it
back), so typing 안녕 and clicking Send lost 녕. The engine now returns
the pending text — a moved-to candidate first, as Enter would — on
Keyreset and Keyrelease; the GTK module asks for it before closing on
focus-out and commits it, IBus commits it on FocusOut, Reset and a
switch to a password field, and XIM commits it on focus loss and hands
it back on ResetIC without a separate capability probe.
server_test, ibus_test and xim_adapter_test each ran their own copy of
the same alt loop that stands in for imthread, and two of them had
private checkstr/checkenginepreedit variants. test_util.c now provides
Pump (trace, optional hold on a chosen op, stop) in its own proc so a
test may block in socket I/O while the engine runs, and test.h declares
the engine hooks once; every .c includes dat.h and fn.h itself as the
rest of the tree does. server_test's three copies of fixture setup and
teardown became serverbegin/serverend.
ipc.c: an AF_UNIX nonblocking connect completes at once or fails with
EAGAIN, so the EINPROGRESS/poll/SO_ERROR path and the fcntl juggling
were dead; the deadline plumbing checked a clock that cannot fail and
re-tested the deadline before every transfer although only waitfd
blocks; readfield's truncation and discard loop served the unit test,
since every caller owns char[Ipcfieldmax+1]; NULL-argument checks on
in-tree encoders are gone (peer validation stays). The primary key frame
is Ipckey, not 'legacy'; ipckeysym names the keysym mapping.
srv.c: the per-connection capability and caret already lived in the
persistent Keyreq; the mirror locals and 'negotiated' flag guarded a
protocol rule no client relied on. proccreate never fails in libthread.
gtk: focus-out no longer round-trips a reset before closing the socket
that releases the engine; the caret dedup compares the packed frame;
srvconnect's preedit no-ops and the insimple flag are gone.
