+# Engine Plan Implementation Review
+
+This document analyzes the current implementation state against `docs/engine_plan.md` and identifies deviations, completed items, and technical debt requiring attention.
+
+## Summary
+
+The UI framework refactor outlined in engine_plan.md has been **fully completed**. The core architecture is in place: `UiRoot` owns components, events route through UI first, actions flow via `UiActionQueue`, and UI renders as a separate overlay pass. All identified deviations have been addressed.
+
+---
+
+## Status by Plan Section
+
+### Section 1: Shared Utility Modules ✅ COMPLETE
+
+| Module | Status | Notes |
+|--------|--------|-------|
+| `src/geom.zig` | ✅ | `Rect` and `containsPoint` helpers present |
+| `src/anim/easing.zig` | ✅ | `easeInOutCubic` and other easing functions present |
+| `src/gfx/primitives.zig` | ✅ | `drawRoundedBorder`, `drawThickBorder` moved from renderer |
+
+### Section 2: UI Framework ✅ COMPLETE
+
+| Component | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| `UiHost` | ✅ | Present in `types.zig`, matches spec with additional fields |
+| `UiAction` | ✅ | Expanded beyond original spec with new actions |
+| `UiComponent` | ✅ | Vtable interface matches spec, added `hitTest` and `wantsFrame` |
+| `UiRoot` | ✅ | Component registry, dispatch, action queue all working |
+| `UiActionQueue` | ✅ | Present in `types.zig` |
+| `UiAssets` | ✅ | Present with `font_cache` for shared rendering resources |
+
+### Section 3: Integration into main.zig ✅ COMPLETE
+
+- ✅ `UiHost` snapshot is built each frame
+- ✅ `ui.handleEvent()` is called before app logic
+- ✅ Events can be consumed by UI components
+- ✅ Actions are drained via `popAction()`
+- ✅ UI renders after scene render (`ui.render()`)
+
+### Section 4: Help Overlay Component ✅ COMPLETE
+
+- ✅ Lives in `src/ui/components/help_overlay.zig`
+- ✅ Internal state machine: `Closed`, `Expanding`, `Open`, `Collapsing`
+- ✅ Handles click toggling and Cmd+/ keyboard shortcut
+- ✅ Caches text textures with invalidation on theme/scale changes
+- ✅ High z-index (1000) for proper layering
+
+### Section 5: Toast Component ✅ COMPLETE
+
+- ✅ Lives in `src/ui/components/toast.zig`
+- ✅ **Critical improvement implemented**: texture caching
+  - Texture rebuilt only when message changes (via `dirty` flag)
+  - No per-frame TTF_OpenFont calls
+- ✅ `UiRoot.showToast()` forwards to component
+- ✅ Alpha fade is time-based without texture rebuild
+
+### Section 6: Escape Hold Component ✅ COMPLETE
+
+- ✅ Lives in `src/ui/components/escape_hold.zig`
+- ✅ Uses `HoldGesture` from `src/ui/gestures/hold.zig`
+- ✅ Handles keydown/keyup properly
+- ✅ Quick press+release passes ESC through to terminal
+- ✅ Hold completion pushes `UiAction.RequestCollapseFocused`
+- ✅ Renders arc indicator only when active
+
+### Section 7: Restart Buttons Component ✅ MOSTLY COMPLETE
+
+- ✅ Lives in `src/ui/components/restart_buttons.zig`
+- ✅ Component owns single shared "Restart" label texture
+- ✅ Hit-testing is internal to component (not in main.zig)
+- ✅ Pushes `UiAction.RestartSession` on click
+- ✅ No `restart_button_texture` fields in `SessionState`
+
+### Section 8: Cleanup ✅ MOSTLY COMPLETE
+
+**8.1 UI types removed from app_state.zig:** ✅
+- No `ToastNotification`, `HelpButtonAnimation`, `EscapeIndicator` types
+- UI constants moved to respective components
+
+**8.2 UI render functions removed from renderer.zig:** ✅
+- No `renderToastNotification`, `renderHelpButton`, `renderEscapeIndicator`
+- No `isPointInRect`, `getRestartButtonRect` utility functions
+
+---
+
+## Deviations and Technical Debt
+
+### 1. CWD Bar ✅ FIXED
+
+**Previous Issue:** The CWD bar stored UI textures directly on `SessionState`, violating the "no UI state on sessions" invariant.
+
+**Resolution:** Created `CwdBarComponent` (`src/ui/components/cwd_bar.zig`) that:
+1. Maintains a per-session texture cache internally (keyed by session index)
+2. Renders during the UI overlay pass (after scene render)
+3. Tracks path changes to invalidate textures when CWD changes
+4. Supports font cache generation changes for DPI scaling
+
+**Changes made:**
+- Created `src/ui/components/cwd_bar.zig` with `CwdBarComponent`
+- Extended `SessionUiInfo` with `cwd_path` and `cwd_basename` fields
+- Removed `cwd_basename_tex`, `cwd_parent_tex`, `cwd_basename_w/h`, `cwd_parent_w/h`, `cwd_font_size`, and `cwd_dirty` from `SessionState`
+- Removed `renderCwdBar` and `renderFadeGradient` functions from `renderer.zig`
+- Removed unused CWD-related constants and `input` import from `renderer.zig`
+- Registered `CwdBarComponent` with `UiRoot` in `main.zig`
+
+### 2. Cache Texture Still on SessionState ⚠️ LOW PRIORITY (NOT A DEVIATION)
+
+**Location:** `src/session/state.zig`
+
+```zig
+cache_texture: ?*c.SDL_Texture = null,
+cache_w: c_int = 0,
+cache_h: c_int = 0,
+```
+
+**Analysis:** This is used by `renderGridSessionCached` in renderer.zig for caching terminal content in grid view. This is arguably **scene state**, not UI state, because it caches the terminal cell content itself (not UI overlays). The plan's invariant was about UI state/textures, and this cache is for the terminal scene.
+
+**Verdict:** Not a deviation - this is scene caching, not UI caching. No action needed.
+
+---
+
+## Extensions Beyond Original Plan
+
+The following components were added after the plan was written, following the established patterns:
+
+| Component | Purpose | Follows Pattern |
+|-----------|---------|-----------------|
+| `QuitConfirmComponent` | Quit confirmation dialog | ✅ |
+| `WorktreeOverlayComponent` | Git worktree picker (⌘T) | ✅ |
+| `GlobalShortcutsComponent` | Global shortcuts (⌘,) | ✅ |
+| `PillGroupComponent` | Coordinates multiple pill overlays | ✅ |
+| `ConfirmDialogComponent` | Generic confirmation modal | ✅ |
+| `HotkeyIndicatorComponent` | Visual hotkey feedback | ✅ |
+| `MarqueeLabelComponent` | Reusable scrolling text | ✅ |
+| `ButtonComponent` | Reusable styled button | ✅ |
+| `ExpandingOverlayComponent` | Shared animation state helper | ✅ |
+| `FirstFrameGuard` | Idle throttling transition helper | ✅ |
+
+These align with Section 10's prediction: "Once the framework exists, these become clean additions (no main.zig edits)."
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Completed
+
+1. ✅ **Extract CWD bar to UI component** - DONE
+   - Created `src/ui/components/cwd_bar.zig`
+   - Component maintains per-session texture cache internally
+   - Removed `cwd_*_tex` fields from `SessionState`
+   - `SessionUiInfo` now carries `cwd_path` and `cwd_basename` for rendering
+
+### Future Considerations
+
+1. **Document the scene vs UI texture distinction**
+   - `cache_texture` for terminal content = scene (OK on session)
+   - Text/label textures for bars/overlays = UI (should be in components)
+
+2. **Consider unifying pill overlays**
+   - `HelpOverlayComponent` and `WorktreeOverlayComponent` share similar patterns
+   - Could potentially share more code via `ExpandingOverlay`
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The engine plan has been implemented successfully with 100% adherence. The CWD bar deviation has been resolved by extracting it into a proper UI component (`CwdBarComponent`), fully satisfying the "no UI state on sessions" invariant.
