gamepad and pollen

earth. a clown on stilts does not stop navigating just because their hands are full.


gamepad

  • A: send message (or approve permission prompt)
  • B: clear textarea (or decline permission prompt)
  • X: toggle preview pane
  • Y: cycle model
  • LB / RB: previous / next tab
  • LT / RT: first / last tab (threshold >0.5 — triggers return floats)
  • Start: open session picker

when a permission request is on screen, A/B take over for yes/no. the prompt only appears on the tab that triggered it — background tabs stay clean.


pollen

then: sending twice fast on the same tab caused interleaving. two in-flight requests both writing to the same message list with no ordering guarantee. fixed with _tabAborts — a map of abort controllers, one per tab. starting a new request aborts the previous one on that tab. cross-tab requests stay independent and concurrent.

the pollen stays in its own flower.
