AnachronautandClaude Opus 5 3e87a67809 Edit: use the system's services instead of carrying the filesystem 
The editor included sbfs.asm and console.asm, which was 3235 of its 4941
bytes. Both come out: reading and writing a file, printing and reading a
line are services now, and sbfsMount goes entirely because the system has
already mounted the disk. Only text.asm remains, at 357 bytes, because
textSame and textNumber own nothing and touch no device - sharing those is
a linker's job rather than an operating system's.

4941 bytes to 1983, a little better than predicted because dropping the
mount and the blocks-and-tail arithmetic went with the library rather than
being translated.

ConsoleEndOfInput went with console.asm, so the end of input is now read
from the console status port. That is better than what it replaced: the
port is there whether or not the system is.

Nothing it does changed, and that is checked rather than asserted. The
recorded output of the cosmosEdit test does not move by a single byte
across this commit - a test written days before the rewrite, checking a
property rather than an output, and therefore able to verify a change it
knew nothing about.

One thing is lost and worth naming: there is no way to ask whether a disk
is present, so the editor's "there is no disk" message is gone. On a
diskless machine it now opens an empty document and fails at w instead. The
shell already refuses to load without a disk, so the editor cannot normally
be reached that way.

Raw Blame History

; Edit, a line editor for CosmOS.
;
; The first program on this machine that makes a file a person typed. Everything on every
; disk before this one was put there by the host tool.
;
; It is line oriented, in the manner of ed, and that is a deliberate choice rather than a
; limitation of the machine - Snake already draws a whole screen and steers with single
; keys. A full screen editor wants scrolling, a redraw model and cursor arithmetic, none of
; which teaches anything about files, and files are what this exists to exercise. So it
; stays in line mode and reads whole lines, which is what the console does without being
; asked for anything.
;
; l list the whole thing, numbered
; a add lines at the end, until a line that is just a dot
; i <n> put lines in before line n, the same way
; c <n> change line n
; d <n> delete line n
; w write it back
; q stop without writing
;
; ---- How the text is kept ----
;
; A LINKED LIST OF LINES, not one buffer with newlines in it. Each line is a node holding
; where the next one is, how long it is, and its bytes:
;
; 0 2 where the next line is, or zero
; 2 1 how many bytes this line has
; 3 the bytes
;
; Inserting is then two pointers changed and nothing moved, and so is deleting. With one
; flat buffer both of them would mean shifting everything after the edit, which on a
; machine with no memcpy is a loop over every byte of the rest of the document, run for
; every keystroke's worth of editing.
;
; The price is that DELETED LINES ARE NOT REUSED. A new line always goes at the end of the
; arena, and an unlinked one just sits there. A session that edits heavily uses more room
; than the document needs, and writing the file out and reading it back is what tidies it
; up. That is an honest trade for a program this size, and it is written down here rather
; than left as a surprise.
;
; Two regions are used by arrangement rather than reserved, because reserving them would
; put tens of kilobytes of zeroes into the file for no reason:
;
; 0x4000 the file, on its way in or out
; 0x8000 the arena the lines live in
;
; Nothing is running but this, so both are ours. It is the same arrangement CosmOS makes
; with 0x8000 while it is loading something, for the same reason.
