# ASCII Module

Unicode-aware box drawing and console formatting for pyfulmen following gofulmen conventions.

## Overview

The ASCII module provides:

- **Box Drawing** - Unicode box characters with customizable styles
- **String Width Calculation** - Unicode-aware width measurement (CJK, emoji, box-drawing chars)
- **Terminal Detection** - Auto-detection of terminal type with width overrides
- **Three-Layer Configuration** - Crucible defaults → User overrides → BYOC

## Quick Start

### Basic Box Drawing

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import draw_box

# Simple box with auto-sizing
box = draw_box("Hello, World!")
print(box)
# ┌───────────────┐
# │ Hello, World! │
# └───────────────┘

# Box with minimum width
box = draw_box("Hello", width=20)
print(box)
# ┌──────────────────────┐
# │ Hello                │
# └──────────────────────┘

# Multi-line content
content = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"
box = draw_box(content, width=15)
print(box)
# ┌─────────────────┐
# │ Line 1          │
# │ Line 2          │
# │ Line 3          │
# └─────────────────┘
```

### Custom Box Characters

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import draw_box_with_options, BoxChars, BoxOptions

# Double-line box
double_chars = BoxChars(
    top_left="╔",
    top_right="╗",
    bottom_left="╚",
    bottom_right="╝",
    horizontal="═",
    vertical="║"
)

box = draw_box_with_options(
    "Custom Style",
    BoxOptions(min_width=25, chars=double_chars)
)
print(box)
# ╔═══════════════════════════╗
# ║ Custom Style              ║
# ╚═══════════════════════════╝
```

### Predefined Box Styles

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import BoxChars

# Single-line (default)
single = BoxChars()  # ┌─┐│└┘

# Double-line
double = BoxChars(
    top_left="╔", top_right="╗",
    bottom_left="╚", bottom_right="╝",
    horizontal="═", vertical="║"
)

# Rounded corners
rounded = BoxChars(
    top_left="╭", top_right="╮",
    bottom_left="╰", bottom_right="╯",
    horizontal="─", vertical="│"
)

# Bold/heavy
bold = BoxChars(
    top_left="┏", top_right="┓",
    bottom_left="┗", bottom_right="┛",
    horizontal="━", vertical="┃"
)
```

## Core Functions

### draw_box(content, width=0)

Draw a box around content with optional minimum width.

**Parameters:**

- `content` (str): Content to box (supports multi-line with `\n`)
- `width` (int): Minimum width in cells (0 = auto-size to content)

**Returns:** Boxed content as string with trailing newline

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import draw_box

# Auto-sized
box = draw_box("Status: OK")

# With minimum width
box = draw_box("Status: OK", width=30)
```

### draw_box_with_options(content, options)

Draw a box with advanced configuration.

**Parameters:**

- `content` (str): Content to box
- `options` (BoxOptions): Box configuration

**Returns:** Boxed content as string with trailing newline

**Raises:** `ValueError` if content exceeds `max_width`

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import draw_box_with_options, BoxOptions, BoxChars

custom_chars = BoxChars(
    top_left="╔", top_right="╗",
    bottom_left="╚", bottom_right="╝",
    horizontal="═", vertical="║"
)

options = BoxOptions(
    min_width=40,
    max_width=80,
    chars=custom_chars
)

box = draw_box_with_options("Hello", options)
```

### string_width(s)

Calculate display width accounting for Unicode and terminal overrides.

**Parameters:**

- `s` (str): String to measure

**Returns:** Width in terminal columns (int)

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import string_width

width = string_width("Hello")          # 5
width = string_width("Hello 世界")     # 10 (CJK chars are 2-wide)
width = string_width("Café")           # 4
width = string_width("🎉")             # 2 (emoji width varies by terminal)
```

**Features:**

- Uses `wcwidth` library if available (fallback to `len()`)
- Applies terminal-specific width overrides
- Handles double-width CJK characters correctly
- Emoji width adjusted per terminal configuration

### max_content_width(contents)

Find maximum display width across multiple strings.

**Parameters:**

- `contents` (list[str]): List of content strings

**Returns:** Maximum width in terminal columns (int)

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import max_content_width, draw_box

contents = ["Short", "Medium length", "Very long content line"]

# Find max width
max_width = max_content_width(contents)

# Draw all boxes with same width for alignment
for content in contents:
    box = draw_box(content, width=max_width)
    print(box)
```

## Data Models

### BoxChars

Unicode box drawing characters.

**Attributes:**

- `top_left` (str): Top-left corner (default: "┌")
- `top_right` (str): Top-right corner (default: "┐")
- `bottom_left` (str): Bottom-left corner (default: "└")
- `bottom_right` (str): Bottom-right corner (default: "┘")
- `horizontal` (str): Horizontal line (default: "─")
- `vertical` (str): Vertical line (default: "│")
- `cross` (str): Cross/intersection (default: "┼")

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import BoxChars

# Use defaults
chars = BoxChars()

# Custom characters
chars = BoxChars(
    top_left="*", top_right="*",
    bottom_left="*", bottom_right="*",
    horizontal="-", vertical="|"
)
```

### BoxOptions

Box drawing configuration.

**Attributes:**

- `min_width` (int): Minimum box width (0 = auto-size to content)
- `max_width` (int): Maximum box width (0 = unlimited, exceeding raises error)
- `chars` (Optional[BoxChars]): Custom box characters (None = use defaults)

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import BoxOptions, BoxChars

# Minimum width only
options = BoxOptions(min_width=40)

# Width constraints
options = BoxOptions(min_width=40, max_width=80)

# With custom characters
options = BoxOptions(
    min_width=30,
    chars=BoxChars(top_left="╔", top_right="╗",
                   bottom_left="╚", bottom_right="╝",
                   horizontal="═", vertical="║")
)
```

### TerminalConfig

Terminal-specific configuration.

**Attributes:**

- `name` (str): Human-readable terminal name
- `overrides` (dict[str, int]): Character to width mapping
- `notes` (str): Additional notes about this terminal

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import TerminalConfig

config = TerminalConfig(
    name="Visual Studio Code",
    overrides={"┌": 1, "─": 1, "┐": 1},
    notes="VSCode may render box-drawing as width-2"
)
```

### TerminalOverrides

Terminal configuration catalog.

**Attributes:**

- `version` (str): Schema version
- `last_updated` (str): Last update date
- `notes` (str): Catalog-level notes
- `terminals` (dict[str, TerminalConfig]): Terminal configs by TERM_PROGRAM value

## Terminal Detection

### get_terminal_config()

Get the current terminal configuration.

**Returns:** `TerminalConfig` for detected terminal, or `None` if unknown

**Detection Method:**

1. Checks `TERM_PROGRAM` environment variable
2. Falls back to `TERM` for special cases (e.g., ghostty)
3. Returns `None` if no match found

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import get_terminal_config
import os

config = get_terminal_config()
if config:
    print(f"Terminal: {config.name}")
    print(f"Overrides: {len(config.overrides)} characters")

    # Check specific character override
    if "─" in config.overrides:
        print(f"Horizontal line width: {config.overrides['─']}")
else:
    print(f"Unknown terminal (TERM_PROGRAM={os.environ.get('TERM_PROGRAM')})")
```

### Supported Terminals

Built-in configuration for common terminals:

| TERM_PROGRAM     | Terminal Name  | Emoji Overrides |
| ---------------- | -------------- | --------------- |
| `Apple_Terminal` | macOS Terminal | None            |
| `ghostty`        | Ghostty        | 10 emoji chars  |
| `iTerm.app`      | iTerm2         | 10 emoji chars  |

**Emoji Width Overrides:**

Certain emoji with text presentation selectors render as width-2 in some terminals:

- ⏱️ ☠️ ☹️ ⚠️ ✌️ 🎗️ 🎟️ 🖐️ 🛠️ ℹ️

### get_all_terminal_configs()

Get all available terminal configurations.

**Returns:** `dict[str, TerminalConfig]` mapping terminal IDs to configs

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import get_all_terminal_configs

configs = get_all_terminal_configs()
for term_id, config in configs.items():
    print(f"{term_id}: {config.name}")
    print(f"  Overrides: {len(config.overrides)} characters")
```

## Configuration Management

PyFulmen ASCII follows the three-layer configuration pattern:

### Layer 1: Crucible Defaults

Embedded terminal overrides from Crucible SSOT.

- Loaded automatically on module import
- Provides baseline configurations for common terminals
- Version controlled in Crucible repository

### Layer 2: User Overrides

User-specific terminal configuration.

**Location:** `~/.config/fulmen/terminal-overrides.yaml`

**Example:**

```yaml
version: "v1.0.0"
last_updated: "2025-10-17"
terminals:
  ghostty:
    name: "Ghostty - Custom"
    overrides:
      "─": 1
      "│": 1
      "┌": 1
      "┐": 1
      "└": 1
      "┘": 1
```

**Loading:** User overrides are automatically merged into Crucible defaults on module initialization.

### Layer 3: BYOC (Bring Your Own Config)

Application-provided runtime configuration.

#### set_terminal_overrides(overrides)

Replace entire terminal configuration catalog.

**Parameters:**

- `overrides` (TerminalOverrides): Complete configuration

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import set_terminal_overrides, TerminalOverrides, TerminalConfig

my_config = TerminalOverrides(
    version="1.0.0",
    terminals={
        "myterm": TerminalConfig(
            name="My Custom Terminal",
            overrides={"🔧": 2, "─": 1}
        )
    }
)

set_terminal_overrides(my_config)
```

#### set_terminal_config(terminal_name, config)

Set configuration for a specific terminal.

**Parameters:**

- `terminal_name` (str): Terminal identifier
- `config` (TerminalConfig): Terminal configuration

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import set_terminal_config, TerminalConfig

config = TerminalConfig(
    name="My Terminal",
    overrides={"─": 1, "│": 1, "🔧": 3}
)

set_terminal_config("myterm", config)
```

#### reload_terminal_overrides()

Reset to defaults and user overrides (remove BYOC overrides).

**Example:**

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import reload_terminal_overrides

# After using set_terminal_overrides() or set_terminal_config()
reload_terminal_overrides()  # Reset to Layer 1 + Layer 2
```

## Practical Examples

### Status Dashboard

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import draw_box_with_options, BoxChars, BoxOptions

status_chars = BoxChars(
    top_left="╔", top_right="╗",
    bottom_left="╚", bottom_right="╝",
    horizontal="═", vertical="║"
)

status = (
    "SYSTEM STATUS\n"
    "─────────────────────────────────\n"
    "Database:    ✓ Connected\n"
    "API Server:  ✓ Running (port 8080)\n"
    "Cache:       ✓ Healthy (95% hit)\n"
    "Queue:       ⚠ 42 messages pending"
)

box = draw_box_with_options(
    status,
    BoxOptions(min_width=40, chars=status_chars)
)
print(box)
```

### Error Message

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import draw_box_with_options, BoxChars, BoxOptions

error_chars = BoxChars(
    top_left="┏", top_right="┓",
    bottom_left="┗", bottom_right="┛",
    horizontal="━", vertical="┃"
)

error = (
    "❌ ERROR\n"
    "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n"
    "File: config.yaml\n"
    "Line: 42\n"
    "Issue: Invalid YAML syntax\n"
    "\n"
    "Expected: key: value\n"
    "Got: key value (missing colon)"
)

box = draw_box_with_options(
    error,
    BoxOptions(min_width=45, chars=error_chars)
)
print(box)
```

### Aligned Boxes

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import max_content_width, draw_box

items = [
    "Status: OK",
    "Database: Connected",
    "API: Running on port 8080"
]

# Find max width for alignment
max_width = max_content_width(items)

# Draw all with same width
for item in items:
    box = draw_box(item, width=max_width)
    print(box)
```

### Unicode Content

```python
from pyfulmen.ascii import draw_box

# International text
content = (
    "Welcome / Bienvenue / Willkommen\n"
    "中文: 欢迎\n"
    "日本語: ようこそ\n"
    "한국어: 환영합니다"
)

box = draw_box(content, width=35)
print(box)
```

## Design Decisions

### Why wcwidth?

- **Accurate Width Calculation**: Properly handles double-width CJK characters
- **Emoji Support**: Correctly measures emoji width
- **Unicode Database**: Uses official Unicode character width properties
- **Graceful Fallback**: Falls back to `len()` if wcwidth not available

### Why Terminal Overrides?

Different terminals render box-drawing characters and emoji with different widths:

- **VSCode**: May render some box-drawing as width-2 when they should be width-1
- **iTerm2**: Handles emoji text selectors differently than Ghostty
- **Ghostty**: Custom emoji width handling

Terminal-specific overrides ensure boxes align correctly across all environments.

### Why Three-Layer Configuration?

1. **Crucible Defaults**: Calibrated overrides for common terminals
2. **User Overrides**: Per-user customization without code changes
3. **BYOC**: Application-specific overrides for special requirements

This pattern enables:

- Zero-configuration defaults (just works)
- User customization without code changes
- Application control when needed

## Cross-Language Parity

PyFulmen ASCII implements core box drawing features with gofulmen parity, but some advanced features are not yet implemented:

| Feature                                 | gofulmen | pyfulmen | Status             |
| --------------------------------------- | -------- | -------- | ------------------ |
| Box drawing                             | ✅       | ✅       | ✅ Full Parity     |
| Unicode width calculation               | ✅       | ✅       | ✅ Full Parity     |
| Terminal detection                      | ✅       | ✅       | ✅ Full Parity     |
| Three-layer config                      | ✅       | ✅       | ✅ Full Parity     |
| Custom box chars                        | ✅       | ✅       | ✅ Full Parity     |
| Width overrides                         | ✅       | ✅       | ✅ Full Parity     |
| Analysis helpers (Analyze, IsPrintable) | ✅       | ❌       | ⚠️ Not Implemented |
| Sanitize helper                         | ✅       | ❌       | ⚠️ Not Implemented |

### Parity Gaps

**Not Yet Implemented:**

- **Analysis Helpers** (`Analyze`, `IsPrintable`, `Sanitize`) - gofulmen provides diagnostic helpers for string analysis that are not yet ported to Python
- **Padding/Truncation Helpers** - Standalone string padding and truncation utilities (available in gofulmen)

These features are planned for future releases. Current focus is on core box drawing functionality.

### Behavioral Parity Verified

- ✅ `max_width` truncation (both implementations truncate content instead of raising errors)
- ✅ Emoji variation selector handling (multi-codepoint grapheme clusters supported)
- ✅ Terminal override loading from Crucible SSOT
- ✅ Three-layer configuration (Crucible defaults → User overrides → BYOC)

## Dependencies

- **wcwidth** (optional, recommended): Unicode character width calculation
  - Falls back to `len()` if not available
  - Install: `pip install wcwidth` or `uv add wcwidth`

## Testing

**Coverage**: 48 comprehensive tests, 90%+ coverage

**Test Categories:**

- String width calculation (15 tests)
- Box drawing basics (10 tests)
- Custom characters (8 tests)
- Terminal configuration (11 tests)
- Edge cases (4 tests)

**Run Tests:**

```bash
# All ASCII tests
uv run pytest tests/unit/ascii/ -v

# With coverage
uv run pytest tests/unit/ascii/ --cov=pyfulmen.ascii --cov-report=term-missing
```

## Future Extensions

Planned enhancements for future versions:

### From ASCII Helpers Standard

Per the [ASCII Helpers Standard](../../docs/crucible-py/standards/library/extensions/ascii-helpers.md), the following features are planned but not yet implemented:

- **Table Drawing**: Structured tables with headers, alignment, and borders
- **Progress Bars**: Unicode progress indicators with percentage/spinner support
- **ANSI Color Support**: Color escape codes with terminal fallbacks
- **Padding/Truncation Helpers**: Standalone string formatting utilities (`pad_right`, `pad_left`, `pad_center`, `truncate`)
- **Analysis Helpers**: String diagnostics (`Analyze`, `IsPrintable`, `Sanitize`) from gofulmen

### Additional Enhancements

- **Border Styles**: Additional predefined box styles (ASCII-only fallback, thick borders)
- **Multi-column Layouts**: Side-by-side box rendering
- **Nested Boxes**: Proper rendering of boxes within boxes

**Note**: Current v0.1.3 implementation focuses on core box drawing functionality. Table rendering, progress bars, and ANSI color support are being migrated from goneat and will be added in future releases.
