   1# Handoff — 2026-09-03 — a third editor joined the family
3## Where this stopped
5Done, nothing in flight. **The library was not changed**: turbo-python was built against
6published `v0.4.0` and needed nothing new from here, so **no release is required**.
8## What changed, and why
10Only claims that count the editors, plus one comment:
12`README.md` (the list), `docs/{en,fr}/README.md` (the counting sentence),
13`profile/profile.go` (package comment), `docs/{en,fr}/how-to/release-the-library.md`,
14`docs/{en,fr}/how-to/write-the-starter-files.md`,
15`docs/{en,fr}/explanation/architecture.md`, `.memory/summary.md`.
17`docs/{en,fr}/how-to/test-without-publishing.md` got more than a count: the workspace now
18lists four modules, and a new paragraph says to list **nested** modules in the `use` block —
19a `go.mod` under a listed module stops being a module at all, and the error
20(*directory prefix . does not contain modules listed in go.work*) names the wrong problem.
22**History was left alone on purpose.** "`tools.DefaultMenu` was correct for a year and wrong
23the moment there were two editors" is a true sentence about the past.
25## The sweep, and its result
27`grep -rnE '"[^"]*\b(Go|Rust|golang|cargo|gopls|rust-analyzer)\b[^"]*"' --include='*.go'`,
28run because a third editor is what exposes a hardcoded language name. **Nothing to fix.**
29Every hit was one of: a false positive (`"Go to definition"`, `"Ctrl-G Go to line"`), a
30doc-comment example of the seam, or a true statement about the implementation
31(`"written in Go."` — every editor in this family *is* written in Go). The About box's
32language had already been moved into the profile after Turbo Rust exposed it; a pty run of
33turbo-python confirms it now reads "A Turbo C-style editor for Python".
35Re-run that sweep the next time an editor is added. It is only worth running if you read
36
38## Trap for the next session
40**A pty run of an editor is what finds this library's stale claims about its own menus.**
41Adding the Code menu made the tutorial and the menus reference wrong in *both* existing
42editors — the bar listing and the "press → four times" count — and no test in any of the
43four repositories could see it. Fixed in turbo-go and turbo-rust the same day; if you add a
44menu here, re-count the arrows in every editor's tutorial.
48Suite green, quality gate PASS (0/0/0, complexity 1810, unchanged). **Not committed** — the
49changes are in the working tree on `main` at `14aae7c`.
