🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert row boundaries, not only flattened text.
backend_trace_text_area_text at Lines [1630]-[1642] concatenates glyphs from every enabled row. Therefore, contains("a$b$") also passes when the renderer incorrectly creates separate rows for the replaced newlines. Assert the per-row structure in addition to the rendered text.

Make Python availability explicit for this test. If find_bin cannot locate python3 or python, make-process raises file-missing and the exact-result assertion fails instead of skipping. Add a Python setup step or skip the test when Python is unavailable. The Windows branch is not covered by CI.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Do not map a PeekNamedPipe probe error to a zero-byte read.
Err(_) => Ok(0) converts a probe failure into ProcessReadOutcome::EndOfStream. That raises the last-block latch and retires the process, so a transient probe error looks like a clean EOF. Propagate the error instead. ProcessReadOutcome::from_stream_read then classifies it as Failed, which matches GNU's nbytes < 0 handling.
🐛 Proposed fix
Ok(Some(available)) => stdout.read(&mut buf[..available.min(read_len)]),
Ok(None) => Ok(0),
- Err(_) => Ok(0),
+ Err(error) => Err(error),

Pull request overview
This PR closes several GNU Emacs compatibility gaps in the Neomacs Windows startup path so that Ghostel can launch a native terminal. It spans three areas: window-text-pixel-size semantics, display-table handling of newlines in the layout engine, and subprocess pipe/stderr lifecycle plumbing (most notably a real writable endpoint for make-pipe-process plus a native-module open_channel and stderr-pipe writer transfer).
Changes:
- Add GNU-compatible
(POSITION . Y-OFFSET)support towindow-text-pixel-size(screen-line offset movement via newscreen_line_offset_target, and a reported start position returned as a 3-element list). - Give
make-pipe-processowned read/write endpoints, implement native-moduleopen_channelon Windows (duplicated UCRT writable fd), transfer/restore the stderr pipe writer across pipe/PTY spawns, and poll Windows child pipes withPeekNamedPipe. - Allow a display-table entry to replace newline without forcing a row break (drop a debug assertion), plus extensive new regression tests.

Issue
Ghostel cannot start a native terminal reliably on Windows Neomacs because several GNU Emacs compatibility gaps combine in its startup path:
open_channelcallback cannot return a Windows writable descriptor for the channel created bymake-pipe-process. Ghostel then tears down ConPTY while PowerShell is still initializing, producing0xc0000142(STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED).make-process :stderr PIPEcreates a second pipe instead of transferring the existing pipe process writer, preventing GNU-compatible output and EOF lifecycle behavior.Solution
make-pipe-processowned read/write endpoints and implement native-moduleopen_channelon Windows by returning a duplicated UCRT writable descriptor.PeekNamedPipeso idle module channels do not block the evaluator, and preserve stderr EOF/sentinel ordering.The separate
window-text-pixel-sizecompatibility fix is now in #274.Verification
stderr_pipetests pass (8 tests).module_channeland Windows module-pipe polling regressions pass.pipe_processtests pass (6 tests).process_output_read_errors_follow_eof_behaviorpasses.cargo fmt --all -- --checkpasses.cargo build -p neomacspasses on Windows.The newline layout regression is included, but the layout-engine test binary is currently blocked on Windows by an unrelated existing Fontconfig test-import compile error. The production workspace build succeeds.
