Add submarine TUI prototype with mock data
Bubble Tea prototype for browsing repositories with many nested git submodules: collapsible tree, pins shown as ref + distance, summarized issue words with severity levels, detail pane, async loading via a Provider interface backed by mock data. Includes docs/ with requirements, state model, UX guide, architecture and decision log, plus AGENTS.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
In repositories with many submodules, `git submodule status` shows pinned
|
||||
commit hashes. It doesn't answer the questions users actually have:
|
||||
|
||||
- Which branch is this submodule on, and is the pin current?
|
||||
- Which submodules need my attention, and which are fine?
|
||||
- Is anything dangerous, e.g. a pin that other people can't fetch?
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Show **only submodules** (not files), recursively nested, as a tree.
|
||||
- Describe pins as **ref + distance** instead of a commit hash.
|
||||
- Let **problems stand out** and keep healthy submodules quiet.
|
||||
- Work comfortably with **dozens to hundreds** of submodules.
|
||||
|
||||
## Functional requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### Tree
|
||||
|
||||
- **F1** Show all submodules of the superproject, including nested submodules
|
||||
of submodules, at any depth.
|
||||
- **F2** Group submodules by the directory of their path relative to the
|
||||
parent repository. A directory with submodules is shown as a non-selectable
|
||||
header line (e.g. `src/`, `modules/`). Submodules at the repository root
|
||||
have no header.
|
||||
- **F3** Nested submodules are shown under their parent submodule. A
|
||||
directory header inside a submodule (e.g. `modules/`) means the nested
|
||||
submodule lives in that subdirectory of the parent.
|
||||
- **F4** On startup only the first level is shown; every submodule with
|
||||
nested submodules is **collapsed**.
|
||||
- **F5** A collapsed submodule shows the number of its **direct** children,
|
||||
e.g. `[2]`.
|
||||
- **F6** A collapsed submodule shows the number of issues **hidden** in all
|
||||
its descendants (`·2`), colored by the most severe hidden issue.
|
||||
- **F7** Expansion state of descendants is remembered when a parent is
|
||||
collapsed and restored when it is expanded again (except after
|
||||
"collapse all", which resets it).
|
||||
|
||||
### State per submodule
|
||||
|
||||
- **F10** Each submodule shows at most **one** state word: the most severe
|
||||
issue, plus `+n` if there are more. Submodules without issues show no word.
|
||||
See [state-model.md](state-model.md) for the full rules.
|
||||
- **F11** Each submodule shows its pin as a ref (`origin/main`, a tag, or a
|
||||
short SHA as a fallback) and the distance to that ref (`↑n`, `↓n`, `↑n↓m`).
|
||||
- **F12** A pin that is not reachable from any remote ref ("unpushed") is
|
||||
the most prominent state.
|
||||
- **F13** States load asynchronously per submodule; a submodule shows a
|
||||
spinner until its state is known. Loading errors are shown as `error`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Detail pane
|
||||
|
||||
- **F20** Shows the selected submodule: full path, name, all issues in
|
||||
words, staged-pin and detached-HEAD notes.
|
||||
- **F21** Shows the resolved ref, how it was resolved, and three commits:
|
||||
**Pinned**, **Checkout** and **Tip** (SHA + subject). A checkout that
|
||||
differs from the pin is highlighted.
|
||||
- **F22** Lists the commits between pin and tip (SHA, subject, author, age)
|
||||
with a title stating ahead/behind/diverged.
|
||||
- **F23** Shows child count, issues below, and the remote URL.
|
||||
|
||||
### Header and footer
|
||||
|
||||
- **F30** The header shows the superproject path, its branch and
|
||||
ahead/behind, the number of submodules, a count per issue kind (most
|
||||
severe first), staged pins, how many are still loading, and the time since
|
||||
the last fetch.
|
||||
- **F31** The footer shows key hints; `?` toggles the full help. It
|
||||
temporarily shows short messages (e.g. "not implemented").
|
||||
|
||||
### Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
- **F40** Keyboard navigation as specified in
|
||||
[ux-guide.md](ux-guide.md#navigation).
|
||||
- **F41** Mouse: click a row to select it, click `▸`/`▾` to toggle, scroll
|
||||
wheel moves the selection.
|
||||
|
||||
### Actions (planned, not implemented)
|
||||
|
||||
| Key | Action |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `u` | Check out the pinned commit (`git submodule update`) |
|
||||
| `b` | Bump the pin to the tip of its ref |
|
||||
| `f` | Fetch remotes |
|
||||
| `/` | Filter by name/path |
|
||||
| `!` | Show only submodules with issues |
|
||||
|
||||
## Non-functional requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **N1** Startup must not block on the network. The tool works from local
|
||||
refs and shows how old they are ("fetched 2m ago"); fetching is explicit.
|
||||
- **N2** Loading many submodules must not freeze the UI (async, per
|
||||
submodule).
|
||||
- **N3** Colors follow the user's terminal theme (ANSI 16 colors); the UI
|
||||
works on dark and light backgrounds.
|
||||
- **N4** Meaning never depends on color alone: every state has a word.
|
||||
- **N5** Works without a Nerd Font. `SUBMARINE_ASCII=1` replaces the few
|
||||
remaining Unicode symbols with ASCII.
|
||||
- **N6** Works in narrow terminals (detail pane hides below 90 columns).
|
||||
- **N7** The UI is independent of the data source: replacing the mock
|
||||
provider with a git provider requires no UI changes.
