Random Fixes TODO¶

Collection of miscellaneous fixes and improvements identified during documentation review.

Output Clearing¶

Issue: Need to verify all _clear_output() calls have been removed from all UIs

Files to check: - src/ui/curses_ui.py - src/ui/tk_ui.py - src/ui/web/nicegui_backend.py - src/ui/cli.py

Goal: Continuous scrolling output like ASR33 teletype (no auto-clearing)

Status: Partially done - web UI cleared, need to verify others

SYSTEM Command Security (Multi-User Web UI)¶

Issue: Multiple users connected to web UI - one user running SYSTEM shouldn't exit the entire server

Current behavior: execute_system() in src/interpreter.py line 2007 calls sys.exit(0) which would kill the entire server

Files: - src/interpreter.py (line 2007-2014) - src/ui/web/nicegui_backend.py

Fix needed: - Web UI should disconnect/reset session, not exit server - Only CLI/Curses/Tk should actually exit the process - Need session-level isolation for SYSTEM command

Consolidate cmd_ Functions Across UIs¶

Issue: All UIs have their own cmd_ function implementations for things like LIST that could be done in a program. Implementation should be common, with UI-specific hooks if needed for updates.

Files with cmd_ functions: - src/ui/curses_ui.py - src/ui/tk_ui.py - src/ui/web/nicegui_backend.py - src/ui/cli.py - src/interactive.py (base implementations)

Problems: - Duplicated logic across UIs - Inconsistent behavior - Hard to maintain

Proposal: - Move common cmd_ logic to shared location (interactive.py or new module) - UIs provide hooks for UI updates (refresh display, etc.) - UI-specific code only handles visual updates, not logic

Examples of commands to consolidate: - LIST - DELETE - RENUM - FILES - SAVE - LOAD - MERGE - NEW

CLI LIST Command Does Nothing¶

Issue: In CLI UI, the LIST command does nothing (no output)

File: src/ui/cli.py

Expected: Should list the program like other UIs

Current: Silent failure or no implementation

Related: Part of cmd_ consolidation issue above

Notes¶

These issues were identified during docs_inconsistencies_report-v12 review on 2025-11-07.

Priority: Medium - not blocking, but affects UX and maintainability
