Release notes: 2026-05-25 — studio-keyboard-ux09

Status: Ready for review
Repo: li-langverse/lic
Branch: feat/studio-gap-close-wave1
PH / REQ: PH-UX, UX-09
Author: agent

Summary (one sentence)

Studio keyboard-first IR: Escape / Cmd+K / digits 1–5 wired through gui_handle_studio_key with palette compose path and smoke tests.

Agent continuation (required)

  1. Read: packages/li-gui/README.md, packages/li-gui/src/lib.li (UX-09 section), docs/game-dev/competitive-intel/ui-ux-by-dimension.md (UX-09).
  2. Run: lic check packages/li-gui/src/lib.li; lic check packages/li-gui/li-tests/smoke/studio_keyboard.li; monorepo composable import_gui_studio_keyboard.li when run_all.sh has lic on PATH.
  3. Then: SDL/native host should set InputState.key_cmd_k, key_digit, key_escape from real key events; score UX-09 ≥ 2.5 in plan loop assessment.
  4. Blocked on: native key ingest — none for IR merge.

Not changed (scope fence)

  • Fuzzy command palette search runtime (UX-04) — not in this PR.
  • SDL / Xvfb key event wiring — not in this PR.
  • LLVM / httpd / tier5 — not touched.

Breaking / Security / Performance / Downstream

  • Breaking: N/A — additive InputState fields default to 0.
  • Security: N/A — no trusted surface change.
  • Performance: N/A — O(1) key dispatch.
  • Downstream: Hosts must populate new InputState fields when enabling keyboard shortcuts.
