The stepCount and stepSize knobs were two controls for one quantity users
actually care about (reach), and the number of steps is an implementation
detail nobody meaningfully tunes. Each pattern has a natural size and
resolution — a jitter is inherently small, an arc a broad curve — so those
now live as constants in each strategy rather than as global config.
- strategies.ts: each pattern defines its own step count and size; MoveContext
drops `config` down to pure geometry (start/width/height/rng), and the
module no longer imports Config at all (dissolving the type-only-import
cycle workaround). line stays byte-for-byte: 250 one-pixel steps.
- executor.ts: executePath takes `config` for pacing (stepDelay); the path
itself needs nothing from it.
- config.ts / cli.ts / move.ts / config.default.json: drop stepCount and
stepSize from the type, seed, validation, resolver, CLI flags (-n, -s),
and help. stepDelay stays as the one pacing lever.
- configFile.ts: tolerate the removed keys instead of rejecting them — every
pre-1.3.0 install seeded stepCount, so a hard "unknown key" failure on
upgrade is avoided. They're ignored with a one-line stderr notice; genuine
unknown keys still error.
The -n/--step-count CLI flag (shipped since 1.0.0) is now an unknown option;
config files degrade gracefully, command lines don't. Stays in the unpushed
1.3.0 release. 64 tests pass.
Turn the hardcoded straight-line sweep into a strategy system behind three
seams so new patterns are easy to add and, for the first time, testable
without nut.js or a real screen:
- src/device.ts: injectable Device seam over nut.js (autoDelayMs lives
here now); the only module that touches the native lib.
- src/strategies.ts: pure per-pattern path generators + registry + lenient
name resolution. Ships line, diagonal, jitter, walk,
arc, figureEight.
- src/executor.ts: single executePath driver owning bounds policy
(abort/clamp/reflect), pacing, interrupt detection, and
restore-on-clean.
keeper.ts's simulateActivity now selects a strategy and delegates to the
executor; the default `line` pattern is byte-for-byte the previous behavior.
New config surface, layered CLI > file > default with strict validation:
- -p/--pattern <name> movement strategy (names matched case/-/_-insensitive)
- -s/--step-size <px> pixels per step; stepCount is now a step *count*
Robustness for the new edge-seeking patterns: interrupt detection compares
against the last commanded (rounded) point with a 2px tolerance, and
clamp/reflect stay a couple pixels off the screen edge, so sub-pixel cursor
placement on scaled/multi-monitor displays isn't misread as user activity.
jitter's radius scales with sweep length so it moves at the default stepSize.
Tests: new suites for strategies, the executor (all bounds policies,
rounding, interrupt, tolerance, pacing), and the keeper loop; config and
configFile suites extended for pattern/stepSize. editor.test.ts moved to
tests/ for consistency. 64 pass.
Replaces 'ReturnType<typeof makeLogger>' with a small named interface so
simulateActivity's signature reads as (config, log: Logger) instead of a
type-derivation chain. Also makes it cleaner to substitute a mock logger
if simulateActivity is ever unit-tested.
No behavior change.
The assignment used to run at import time, mutating the shared nut.js
singleton the second anything imported keeper.ts. Moved into the top
of runKeeper(), where the only caller actually needs it.
Same observable behavior — runKeeper is called exactly once per process
— but keeper.ts is now import-side-effect-free, which makes it
straightforward to import for tests or future tooling without touching
global mouse state.
Verbose was awkwardly a separate runKeeper argument with a separate
resolveVerbose helper, even though it's just another tunable on the
same precedence ladder as the numeric fields. This commit collapses it.
Changes:
- Config gains 'readonly verbose: boolean'. DEFAULT_CONFIG sets it to
false.
- resolveConfig now returns the full Config including verbose. Verbose
layers with the same 'first defined value wins' precedence as the
numeric fields.
- resolveVerbose is gone.
- ParsedCliArgs.verbose becomes boolean | undefined: undefined when -V
was not passed, true when it was. parseCliArgs maps accordingly.
This lets the layered resolver treat verbose uniformly.
- runKeeper takes a single Config arg. The internal logger reads from
config.verbose at the top of runKeeper.
- move.ts no longer plumbs verbose separately; the single resolved
Config drives everything.
- README How-it-works and Files-table entries updated to match.
Behavior verified for all five verbose-precedence cases (no file/no
flag, no file/-V, file:true/no flag, file:false/-V, file:false/no
flag) and config-error scenarios remain intact.
- src/move.ts entry point with CLI parsing, --help, --version
- src/cli.ts: parseCliArgs, printHelp, ParsedCliArgs, CliError, VERSION
- src/config.ts: Config type, DEFAULT_CONFIG, resolveConfig
- src/keeper.ts: synthetic-activity sweep + idle-watch loop
- package.json bin entry + shebang for 'bun link' global install
- install.sh: contributor bootstrap (will be repurposed; see
DISTRIBUTION-PLAN.md for the end-user installer design)
- DISTRIBUTION-PLAN.md captures the tabled end-user distribution work
