Marco Allegretti 61bef1a0a7 feat(compositor): implement surface compositing and layer shell rendering
Replace the clear-colour-only stub in render_output with full
surface compositing via Space::render_elements_for_output.

Changes:
- drm_device.rs: add start_time: Instant to WeftDrmData for elapsed-
 time frame callbacks
- drm.rs: rewrite render_output rendering block
 - collect SpaceRenderElements from Space via render_elements_for_output
 which includes both mapped windows and wlr-layer-shell surfaces from
 layer_map_for_output (sorted by z-index, clipped to output geometry)
 - pass collected elements to DrmOutput::render_frame
 - fix send_frame timing from Duration::ZERO to start_time.elapsed()
 with 16ms throttle hint
 - add space.refresh() and popups.cleanup() after each frame
 Use explicit inner block to scope space+drm borrows so post-render
 bookkeeping can access state mutably

Cursor rendering deferred requires cursor theme loading or MemoryRenderBuffer
setup; tracked separately.

WEFT OS

WEFT OS is a Linux-based operating system effort built around a Smithay compositor, a Servo-rendered system shell, and a Wasmtime-based application runtime.

Current repository scope

This repository currently contains:

  • the baseline Rust workspace
  • public engineering documentation derived from the authoritative blueprint
  • initial design documents for the shell protocol boundary and the WasmServo channel
  • local and CI validation paths for repository bootstrap work

It does not yet contain a compositor, shell, or application runtime implementation.

Source of truth

The authoritative technical reference for this repository is docu_dev/WEFT-OS-COMPREHENSIVE-BLUEPRINT.md.

Historical blueprint documents exist in docu_dev/, but they are not implementation authority where they conflict with the comprehensive blueprint.

Privacy boundary

docu_dev/ is a private coordination area used during development. It is intentionally ignored by git and is not part of the tracked public repository surface.

Development model

  • Primary development host: Windows workstation
  • Primary runtime target: Linux VM or QEMU guest
  • Core system language: Rust

Validation

On Windows PowerShell:

./infra/scripts/check.ps1

On Linux:

./infra/scripts/check.sh
