Japanese was never dispatched through the Lang table: dotrans and
transstr both special-cased it into transjp, which edited Im in place
and wrote commits through a side argument, while transko popped and
cleared a pre that every caller overwrote anyway, and Vietnamese kept
its key history in dotrans. Emit now carries the new raw state next to
the new pre; transjp, transko and transvi are pure functions of (Im,
key), and dotrans and transstr have a single path. Vietnamese history
bookkeeping lives in vi.c, where the full-history flush no longer
resets the caret as a side effect; istone was toneidx() >= 0.
The dictionary thread ran in imthread's own proc, so a lookup could
only start once the engine blocked, and it was a trie probe anyway; the
emoji and Hanja searches already called dictlookup directly. The
request/result channels, sequence numbers, staleness checks and the
second draw per Japanese key are gone; dictqjp fills the candidates
in place. Emit.dict and Lang.dictq only ever triggered lookups for
Vietnamese, which has no dictionary. dictlookup(Lang*, key, out, max)
returns the count. The Hanja lookup no longer pre-checks for a single
syllable; a reading either has an entry or it does not.
For Vietnamese the preedit is the map key ('as', 'oong'); only the popup
and the commit path looked it up. Clients with inline preedit therefore
showed 'as' while Enter committed 'á'. impre() now maps once for every
reader, and snapshot() no longer maps a second time.
The hash map served a single exact-match lookup that the trie already
answers, at the price of a second container, a second file loader with
its own drift, and a Str-to-UTF-8 conversion on every chain probe. The
files are small (kanji.dict is 7.5k lines), so the trie holds both.
trieopen validates keys and each space-separated value word against Str
and reports path:line; trielookup takes the Str every caller holds and
treats a nil trie as an unloaded map; trienew/trieput exist for tests.
The overflow guards on growth, Trie.root (always 0) and the per-language
init loop written twice are gone.
Avoid reading inactive Str storage when deciding whether to publish a redraw. Keep the focused engine suite compact by retaining one case for each page, navigation, and empty-result invariant.
Add table-driven dictionary miss and language-switch state coverage, regress stale candidates after backspace, and clear them before dictionary refresh. Keep IPC and runtime-created file checks outside the unit runner.
