(Fix): removed the non-functional automata background overlay from View() (the Frame() was never called, and the black-space placeholder caused EEEE garbage characters on some terminals)

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -35,11 +35,12 @@ first public release
 - **missing `extra/` directory** — added `extra/config.toml`, `extra/xsetup.sh`, `extra/lemurs.pam`, and `extra/lemurs.service` so `make install` can find them
 - **makefile `deps` target** — added `make deps` to automatically install `libpam0g-dev` and `build-essential`, and verify go is present
 - **readme overhaul** — rewrote for clarity: added "what problem does this solve", "how it works", known issues, simpler install instructions, and proper dependency listing
+- **view cleanup** — removed the non-functional automata background overlay from `View()` (the `Frame()` was never called, and the black-space placeholder caused `EEEE` garbage characters on some terminals). also removed a hardcoded 80-char width on the top bar so it adapts to the terminal
 
 ### What's Missing
 
 - no tests
-- session spawning uses `ForkExec` which is less clean than the original fork-then-exec model
+- session leader is the latchd process, not the desktop — pam session tracking via systemd-logind may be imperfect
 - not all config options affect the rendering yet
 - occasional terminal state corruption on abrupt exit
-- automata background can flicker on rapid terminal resizes
+- automata background rendered as tick-only visual (not wired into the view yet)
