XIM text always went out through imdkit's COMPOUND_TEXT converter,
which already wraps every UTF-8 string in ESC%G; the UTF8_STRING
negotiation, the per-client encoding list, ximtext.c's fallback and its
wrapper never changed a byte on the wire. The spot location is honoured
for every style now (GTK's XIM module sends it with PreeditCallbacks)
and an unset focus window means the client window, as the spec says,
so those clients get the popup at the caret. readattrs/place kept four
transient fields to pass values between them; ximclose tore down state
right before die(); the OOM passthrough context was a third policy for
one small calloc where emalloc dies like everything else. Both frontends
now poll for engine-owner loss only while a preedit shows instead of
XIM waking on a pipe the engine had to know about; ibus stops waking
five times a second when idle. keymeaningful() is the engine's own
predicate. The standalone xim_test moved into the unit suite, so
xim/Makefile is gone.
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.
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.
