- a dirty area larger than the lazy threshold (big paste, revert)
is chunked into the background queue instead of freezing the
command loop with one synchronous re-justification
- queued chunks intersecting the visible span move to the queue
front on scroll (window-scroll-functions): scrolling into an
unprocessed area no longer waits for the whole queue
- background ticks work under a time budget
(ekp-auto-justify-tick-budget, default 5 ms): several small
chunks per tick, guaranteed progress of at least one, peek-then-
pop so an aborted justification never loses a chunk
- ticks also yield while an input-method composition is active

- new commands ekp-justify-buffer / ekp-unjustify-buffer
- ekp-justify-region / ekp-unjustify-region without an active region
now act on the hard paragraph at point (DWIM) instead of erroring
- ekp-auto-justify-mode remaps fill-paragraph to the new
ekp-refill-paragraph — plain M-q treated glue spaces and soft
breaks as content and destroyed the original whitespace
- ekp-org-setup / ekp-markdown-setup wire the existing skip-face
presets in one call; enabling the mode in an Org/Markdown buffer
applies them automatically unless the user configured their own.
The markdown setup also stops font-lock from managing the display
property: refontification was stripping the pixel glue and
wrecking the layout permanently.
- justify runs font-lock-ensure over the region first when
face-based verbatim detection is configured — paragraphs jit-lock
had never fontified (off-screen code blocks) were not skipped
- showcase/demo buffers disable undo recording (width sweeps
generated thousands of useless undo entries)

- isearch searches the logical text: entering isearch temporarily
un-justifies (spans remembered as markers), exiting restores the
layout. Justified CJK lines contain real injected spaces, which
made even same-line phrases unfindable.
- the kill ring receives the logical text via a buffer-local
filter-buffer-substring-function: yanking justified text elsewhere
transports words, not the source window's pixel layout.
- multi-window: the layout width is now the narrowest window showing
the buffer (was: whichever window resized last, leaving the other
window overflowing), and window-configuration-change-hook catches
the buffer becoming displayed, splits, and closed windows.
- paragraphs containing field or read-only text (comint prompts)
are never re-written; interactive justify/unjustify on read-only
buffers signals instead of editing through inhibit-read-only.
- edit re-flows wait for an active input-method composition (quail
preedit) to finish instead of re-writing the text under it.

Justification is a re-layout of the same logical text; it now behaves
that way toward the rest of the editor:
- saving a justified buffer writes the LOGICAL text: before-save-hook
unjustifies (spans remembered as markers), after-save-hook restores
the justified view; the deterministic pair stays off undo history.
Previously soft newlines and break hyphens were silently persisted
to disk and the original whitespace was unrecoverable after reopen.
- renderer marker properties (ekp-glue/soft-break/soft-hyphen/hidden/
justified) are registered in text-property-default-nonsticky: text
typed after a glue no longer inherits the marker and is no longer
deleted as a synthesized space by the next re-flow.
- pure re-layout preserves buffer-modified-p when it was nil: no more
lock files, auto-saves and "buffer modified" prompts from merely
enabling ekp-auto-justify-mode.
- changes applied by undo are not re-dirtied (no timer war against
the user's undo sequence).
- switching major modes tears justified state down cleanly
(change-major-mode-hook), widening first so narrowing never leaves
justified orphans.

Keys are now always visible at the top (help-key-binding key caps),
and the live state readout — width, alignment, protrusion, indent,
parshape, effective engine, last re-flow ms — moves to the mode line,
so both are permanently on screen without fighting for space.

One self-contained demo buffer for every feature, driven by single
keys, with per-reflow milliseconds in the header line:
-/+ width ±20 px (arrows: ±4) d animated width sweep + fps report
a cycle 4 alignments p hanging punctuation
i first-line indent (2 em) s wedge parshape (Elisp 2D path)
c C engine vs pure Elisp w follow window width (auto-mode)
The sample text bundles a verbatim-protected code block, an inline
no-break atom, and NBSP-joined figures; the engine indicator honestly
shows when a feature (indent/parshape) bypasses C. Launch:
emacs -Q -L /path/to/emacs-kp -l tests/ekp-showcase.el -f ekp-showcase
Verified interactively in GUI Emacs (justify 480→360 px, protrusion +
indent on: state and timing update live).

Buffers past ekp-auto-justify-lazy-threshold (20k chars) no longer
re-justify wholesale on a width change: the visible span updates
synchronously and the rest follows in polite background chunks
(run-with-timer ticks that yield to pending input). Measured on a
300-paragraph, 132k-char article: perceived latency 332 ms → 15 ms,
background completion ~0.5 s.
Fixed in the process: adjacent chunk markers shared a boundary, and
the earlier chunk's delete+insert pushed the next chunk's start
marker back over the freshly inserted text — chunks grew linearly
(2.2k, 4.9k, 7.4k… chars) and background work went quadratic (14 s).
Start markers now use insertion-type t. Regression test asserts the
chunked result equals the one-shot result property-for-property.
Also: org/markdown skip-face presets (ekp-region-org-skip-faces /
ekp-region-markdown-skip-faces), MELPA header hygiene (Version + URL
on the main file, stale Package-Requires dropped from ekp-hyphen.el),
readme notes.
67 ERT green; fuzz 300/300.

Paragraphs stay verbatim (never justified, byte-identical through
justify/auto-mode/unjustify) when they carry the ekp-verbatim text
property, wear a face from ekp-region-skip-faces (point it at
org-block / markdown-code-face and code blocks are exempt), or match
the buffer-local ekp-region-skip-predicate — three layers of the same
general mechanism, no mode-specific code. Inline code inside prose
is the existing ekp-no-break atom (rigid, unbreakable, unhyphenated).
New commands: ekp-verbatim-region / ekp-clear-verbatim-region.
Core engine untouched: block protection lives entirely in the region
layer, so skipped text never even reaches the tokenizer.
Tests: 66 ERT green (property / face / predicate paths, exact
roundtrips around justified prose).

ekp-parshape gives each line its own (INDENT . WIDTH) — TeX \parshape
— with the last entry repeating; ekp-first-line-indent is sugar for
the CJK 2-em paragraph convention (t derives 2 em from the paragraph's
CJK font, or pass pixels). Line-number-dependent widths require the
(position × line-count) DP, so both ride the loose engine and bypass
the C module, exactly like looseness.
Indents render as leading spacers marked ekp-glue, so buffer
roundtrips remain character- and property-exact. Composes with
alignment modes (indent adds to the centering lead) and protrusion.
Tests: 63 ERT green; fuzz 300/300.

ekp-protrusion enables microtype-style character protrusion at the
right edge: a line ending in fullwidth punctuation (。、」…) hangs
the whitespace half of the glyph past the flush edge — visually
identical to CLREQ line-end punctuation compression — and latin
periods/commas/quotes and soft hyphens protrude by their configured
ratios (ekp-protrusion-ratios).
Mechanics: per-box tail protrusion, folded through trailing space
boxes into a per-gap array; each DP candidate widens its effective
target (lw = width + release), mirrored exactly in the renderer's
per-line effective width and in the C-result reconstruction, so DP,
rendering and both engines stay coherent. Left-edge protrusion is
documented as out of scope (Emacs cannot render before the line
origin). ekp-region reserves the protrusion width in auto layouts
(ekp-region-protrusion-reserve).
Off by default; all-zero arrays make it a no-op on the shared path.
C module 1.4: break-with-arrays 12→14 args (tail-protrudes array,
hyphen-protrude scalar), batch vectors 14 elements.
Tests: 59 ERT green (deterministic hang check, flush-when-off,
protrusion C parity); fuzz 300/300.

ekp-alignment selects the paragraph alignment. Non-justify modes keep
inter-word glue rigid (arrays and class params zeroed at para build)
while the DP gains a per-line flexibility ekp-ragged-stretch-pixel
(default ≈2 em): badness = 100·(shortfall/R)³, so Knuth-Plass still
globally minimizes raggedness — this is \raggedright with a finite
\rightskip stretch, not first-fit.
Rendering distributes each line's leftover by mode: trailing
(ragged-right), split evenly (center), leading (ragged-left); the
spacers are ekp-glue-marked, so buffer roundtrips stay exact.
C module 1.3: set-penalties gains an extra-stretch scalar (reset when
omitted); max_w widens by it, so the prefix-based flexibility picks it
up automatically. Cache keys include alignment and R.
Tests: 56 ERT green incl. per-mode invariants (fit, rigid interior
glue, flush edges, centered leftover ±1px) and four-mode C parity;
fuzz 300/300.

- text property ekp-no-break turns any span into a rigid typesetting
atom: no line break inside, no hyphenation, literal spacing (space
runs inside the span become preserved space boxes instead of
stretchable glue) — inline code, product names, numbers with units
- character-driven joins: NBSP, NARROW NBSP, FIGURE SPACE keep their
neighbors together (they are boxes whose adjacent gaps are
unbreakable and glue-free — the character supplies its spacing);
WORD JOINER / ZWNBSP attach invisibly like combining marks
- new commands: ekp-no-break-region / ekp-allow-break-region
- overlong atoms fall back to single emergency lines (atomic-run
handling from the break-permission layer); zero C changes needed
Tests: 52 ERT green incl. atomicity across widths, hyphenation
suppression, NBSP/WJ adjacency sweeps; fuzz 300/300 with C parity.

Kinsoku moves from merge-based box attachment to a general break-
permission layer, the foundation for no-break spans, NBSP, verbatim
atoms and punctuation protrusion:
- tokenizer: every CJK char (punctuation included) is its own box;
the hold/attach machinery is gone. Fixes two latent bugs: a second
consecutive closer (字。」) could start a line, and an opener held
across spaces reordered box content vs the original string
- ekp--str-type: cjk-punct splits into cjk-open (Ps/Pi) / cjk-close
- ekp-para gains breaks-allowed (bool-vector) + forbidden-positions
(sparse, for C); glue at unbreakable punct gaps is nws, so
punctuation hugs its content and justification stretch no longer
opens gaps at 「x or x。
- halfwidth kinsoku: boxes consisting purely of .,;:!?)]}’”»›… may
not start a line ((&[{‘“«‹ may not end one) — an ASCII comma after
a CJK char no longer dangles at line start (old behavior violated
CLREQ)
- DP (elisp 1D, elisp loose 2D, C): forbidden gaps are skipped as
candidates while the line keeps extending; the emergency fallback
generalizes from single boxes to atomic runs (no permitted break
inside), recording real gap counts so multi-box emergency lines
render correctly
- C module 1.2: ekp-c-break-with-arrays 11→12 args
(forbidden-positions), batch vectors 12 elements, version gate bumped
Hyphenation improvement: 「Hello / Hello」 previously failed the
word regexp as merged boxes and were never hyphenated; as separate
boxes they hyphenate normally.
Tests: 48 ERT green (split tests migrated to the new box contract;
new unit test for break permissions and a rendered-output kinsoku
sweep across widths); 300-case fuzz 0 failures with C 1.2 parity.

The renderer (shared by both engines) is now lossless: synthesized
glue carries the original text it replaced (ekp-glue), soft line
breaks carry the whitespace swallowed around the break
(ekp-soft-break), break hyphens are marked (ekp-soft-hyphen), and
paragraph-edge whitespace survives as zero-display ekp-hidden text.
Orphaned ekp--combine-glues-and-boxes / ekp--interleave removed.
New ekp-region.el:
- ekp-justify-region / ekp-unjustify-region: in-place justification
with exact structural restore (character- and property-exact),
robust to edits made while justified
- ekp-auto-justify-mode: keeps the buffer justified at the window
width; debounced re-flow on window resize, incremental
per-paragraph re-justification after edits (served by the
paragraph cache)
- fix found in live GUI testing: buffer-local members of
window-size-change-functions receive the WINDOW as argument and
may run with an unrelated buffer current; the handler now resolves
window and buffer explicitly (regression test included)
Tests: 47 ERT (36 core + 11 region) passing; 300-case fuzz 0
failures (C/elisp parity unchanged); byte-compile clean with
error-on-warn. Verified interactively in GUI Emacs: justified at
1403px maximized, auto-reflowed to 614px on frame resize.

ci: byte-compile list includes ekp-region.el

- fix: ekp-param-set silently reset after first justify (now persists;
ekp-param-reset added)
- fix: narrow-width CJK returned empty string (data loss); two-pass
emergency-break strategy guarantees output for any input
- fix: K-P penalties never synced to C module; space-box metrics
divergence between C and Elisp engines
- fix: para cache ignored ekp-latin-lang (stale hyphenation after
language switch) and used collision-prone sxhash keys
- fix: fullwidth letters/digits misclassified as CJK punctuation
- fix: combining chars split from their base char in the tokenizer
- fix: punctuation-wrapped words (word!/(word)/word;) never hyphenated
- fix: renderer double-counted stripped space widths; negative glue
clamped; batch/tty font detection no longer crashes
- feat: real looseness support via (position × line-count) DP
- perf: O(1) line metrics and gap counts via prefix arrays (inner loop
previously allocated O(n) subsequences → O(n³) total); box measurement
dedupe; eq fast-path para lookup; prebuilt per-para glue arrays
→ zh justify 7547ms → 96ms (compiled elisp) / 57ms (C);
range-justify 68.5s → 0.48s / 34ms; C module itself 3–19× faster
- test: 36 batch-safe ERT tests + 300-case property fuzz (C/elisp
byte-identical output, zero content loss) replacing ad-hoc suite
- docs: readme/readme_zh/DEVELOPER/DEVELOPER_ZH/ekp_c-README rewritten
to match the implementation; phase handoff in .phrase/phases/
BREAKING: requires Emacs 29.1+; C module must be rebuilt (v1.1, new
arities); ekp-threshold-factor / ekp-flagged-penalty /
ekp-forced-break-penalty removed; Rust module stubs removed.
