Subject: [PATCH 01/13] Implement AlloyScript runtime and bindings

This commit introduces a new AlloyScript runtime integrated into the
webview library. Key features include:
- `window.Alloy.spawn`: Asynchronously spawn subprocesses with stdout/stderr
  bridged to JS ReadableStreams.
- `window.Alloy.spawnSync`: Synchronously spawn processes and capture output.
- `window.Alloy.Terminal`: Pseudo-terminal (PTY) support for interactive
  subprocesses (Linux/macOS).
- Inter-Process Communication (IPC) support between the webview and
  spawned processes.
- Thread-safe callbacks and non-blocking I/O for `stdin` writing.
- Portable implementation using `posix_spawn` and `poll`.

Added an example in `examples/alloy_test.cc` to demonstrate these features.

Subject: [PATCH 02/13] Implement AlloyScript runtime with Shell scripting API

This commit introduces the AlloyScript runtime and Shell scripting API
integrated into the webview library. Key features include:

- `window.Alloy.spawn`: Asynchronously spawn subprocesses with
  cross-platform support (Win32 & POSIX).
- `window.Alloy.$`: A bash-like shell scripting API for JavaScript with
  support for pipes, redirection placeholders, and secure argument
  tokenization.
- Pseudo-terminal (PTY) support via `window.Alloy.Terminal` (POSIX).
- Robust thread safety: background monitoring threads communicate with
  the main UI thread via safe dispatch mechanisms.
- Deadlock-free synchronous execution: uses `poll` to multiplex output
  reading from subprocesses.
- Ordered non-blocking stdin writing: data is queued and written by
  dedicated worker threads.
- Comprehensive JS API: includes fluent methods like `.text()`,
  `.json()`, `.lines()`, and global configuration for `cwd`, `env`,
  and error behavior.

Added examples `examples/alloy_test.cc` and `examples/alloy_shell_test.cc`
to demonstrate the new capabilities.

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] Finalize AlloyScript runtime and Shell API with native
 built-ins

This commit completes the AlloyScript runtime integration for the
webview library. Key enhancements include:
- Native C++ implementations for common shell built-ins (`echo`, `pwd`,
  `ls`, `cd`, `mkdir`, `rm`, `true`, `false`) to ensure cross-platform
  consistency and better performance.
- Robust shell interpreter supporting pipe chains and quoted/escaped
  arguments.
- Complete cross-platform process management (Win32 & POSIX).
- Thread-safe background monitoring with safe dispatch to the UI thread.
- Efficient, non-blocking stdin writing via background worker queues.
- Comprehensive JavaScript API via `window.Alloy.$`, providing fluent
  result processing and secure interpolation.

Added `examples/alloy_shell_test.cc` to exercise the full suite of
new shell features.

Subject: [PATCH 04/13] Implement AlloyScript runtime with comprehensive tests
 and native built-ins

This commit introduces a robust AlloyScript runtime integrated into the
webview library, following a host-orchestrator architecture.

Key features include:
- window.Alloy.spawn (Async) and window.Alloy.spawnSync (Sync) for
  cross-platform subprocess management (Win32 & POSIX).
- window.Alloy.$ shell scripting API with support for pipes, secure
  argument tokenization, and fluent result processing.
- Native C++ implementations of common shell commands (echo, pwd, ls,
  mkdir, rm, cd, etc.) for cross-platform consistency.
- Thread-safe background monitoring with safe dispatch to the UI thread.
- Deadlock-free I/O using multiplexed reading and ordered background
  stdin writing.
- PTY support for interactive terminals on POSIX systems.

Added comprehensive unit tests in `core/tests/src/alloy_tests.cc`
covering:
- Shell tokenization (quotes and escapes).
- Async spawn with environment variables and custom working directories.
- spawnSync with output capturing.
- Complex shell pipe chains.

Demonstration examples included in `examples/alloy_shell_test.cc`.

Subject: [PATCH 05/13] Implement AlloyScript runtime with Drizzle-compatible
 SQLite and Shell API

This commit finalized the AlloyScript runtime, providing a robust bridge
between native C++ capacities and the WebView's JavaScript runtime.

Key features:
- Complete SQLite driver via `window.Alloy.sqlite.Database`, supporting
  parameter binding, transactions, and BigInt/Uint8Array conversions.
- Bash-like shell scripting API via `window.Alloy.$`, featuring native
  C++ built-ins for cross-platform consistency and pipe support.
- Bun-based build system (`scripts/build.ts`) that transpiles
  AlloyScript and embeds it into a generated C++ host program.
- Comprehensive unit tests using `bun:test` and standard webview
  unit tests.

Added tests:
- `tests/alloy.test.ts`: JavaScript-level API tests.
- `core/tests/src/alloy_tests.cc`: C++-level runtime integration tests.

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] feat: implement AlloyScript runtime with Process,
 SQLite, and Native GUI

- Implemented cross-platform process spawning (Alloy.spawn/spawnSync)
- Added full PTY support with terminal resizing
- Integrated native high-performance SQLite3 driver with BigInt support
- Added native GUI bridge for GTK/Win32 components (Alloy.gui)
- Implemented native C++ shell interpreter for consistent cross-platform pipelines
- Added comprehensive unit tests and professional GUI examples
- Refined build system and amalgamation script for Alloy components

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] feat: complete AlloyScript GUI and SQLite runtime
 implementation

- Implemented 16 native UI components in the GTK backend (Window, Button, TextField, TextArea, Label, CheckBox, Switch, Slider, ProgressBar, VStack, HStack, Image, ComboBox, RadioButton, WebView, ScrollView).
- Exposed 12 UI components to the JavaScript bridge (`Alloy.gui`).
- Added professional GUI examples in `/examples/gui.c` and `/examples/gui.cc`.
- Fixed SQLite BigInt round-tripping to maintain 64-bit precision in JS.
- Refined thread safety and resource cleanup for background subprocesses.
- Verified all core runtime tests and example builds.

Subject: [PATCH 08/13] feat: enhance AlloyScript runtime with full Spawn API
 and expanded GUI

- Added `timeout`, `killSignal`, and `maxBuffer` support to `Alloy.spawn/spawnSync`.
- Implemented `ListView`, `TreeView`, and `TabView` in the GTK backend.
- Fixed environment variable handling for Windows processes.
- Refined the JS module loader and bridge method binding.
- Improved Windows GUI support with a standard message loop.
- Cleaned up build artifacts and fixed dead code in the amalgamation script.
- Verified all new features with comprehensive unit tests.

Subject: [PATCH 09/13] feat: final polish of AlloyScript runtime with expanded
 GUI and Cocoa stubs

- Implemented ListView, TreeView, and TabView in the GTK backend.
- Added comprehensive JS bindings for all implemented GUI components (25+ components/dialogs).
- Added Cocoa backend stubs for macOS support.
- Refined Spawn API with timeout, killSignal, and maxBuffer support.
- Improved C/C++ examples to showcase advanced layouts and system dialogs.
- Cleaned up build artifacts and ensured C99/C++17 compatibility.
- All core unit tests passing.

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] feat: integrate GUI examples with CMake and add gui.ts

- Updated `examples/CMakeLists.txt` to build Alloy GUI C/C++ examples.
- Added a custom CMake command to build `gui.ts` using `bun` if available.
- Created `examples/gui.ts` demonstrating the JS bridge with platform detection.
- Verified the build and core runtime tests.

Subject: [PATCH 12/13] feat: finalize AlloyScript runtime with advanced
 Streams and Spawn features

- Implemented `Alloy.ArrayBufferSink` for fast incremental binary construction.
- Enhanced `Alloy.spawn` with file redirection (`Alloy.file()`) and `ReadableStream` stdin support.
- Added support for `timeout`, `killSignal`, and `maxBuffer` in the Spawn API.
- Implemented `ListView`, `TreeView`, and `TabView` in the GTK backend.
- Added Cocoa backend stubs for macOS support.
- Refined C++ runtime with improved polling logic and thread safety.
- Verified all features with 12+ unit tests and professional GUI examples.

Subject: [PATCH 13/13] feat: complete AlloyScript runtime with secure bindings
 and robust GUI

- Implemented `bind_global` in C++ engine and C API for high-privilege system bindings.
- Added `secureEval` global function for safe code execution.
- Fixed null-dereference crashes in native GUI component handlers.
- Expanded GTK backend with 28+ components including Navigation, Dialogs, and advanced widgets (ListView, TreeView, TabView).
- Enhanced Spawn API with `timeout`, `killSignal`, and `maxBuffer` support.
- Refined JavaScript bridge with a module loader polyfill for seamless `Alloy:*` imports.
- Added `examples/gui.ts` with platform detection for macOS support.
- Verified all features with an expanded unit test suite (15+ cases) and professional GUI examples.
- Cleaned up codebase of build artifacts and redundant logic.
