Warn when --animate is aimed somewhere animation positively will not play - #34
Conversation
…l not play kittyview emits animation as a=f frames driven by an a=a control, all with q=2, so a terminal that refuses them does so silently: the user sees a static first frame and no explanation. The protocol has no capability query for animation, so unlike graphics this is a judgement from names -- false only where the implementation's own source confirms animation will not play, with unrecognised terminals (and unreadable versions) given the benefit of the doubt. The warn list, each entry read from the implementation's own source: - Zellij (any version, any layer of the stack) rejects a=f and a=a with ENOTSUPPORTED -- including under --force, whose existing environment check already spots it. - Konsole's parser dispatches only on a=t/T/q/p/d; animation actions fall through silently (unchanged since kitty graphics arrived in 22.04). - iTerm2 parses the animation actions into TODO-stub handlers (through stable 3.7.2). - Ghostty answers them with "ERROR: unimplemented action" until animation lands in 1.4.0, so only versions known to predate it warn. WezTerm is deliberately absent: it plays a=f frame data through its animated-image path and ignores only the a=a control, so animations do move there (at worst the first frame's delay, set via a=a, is off). The warning is independent of check_terminal's at-most-one-warning rule: that rule collapses two diagnoses of one symptom (the image never arriving), while this is a different symptom (the image arriving and not moving), and both can be true at once. It also fires only when --animate actually produced more than one frame -- a static PNG shows the same single frame everywhere, and the terminal is not the problem.

semver_triple() defaulted an unparseable patch component to zero, so a nightly reporting 1.3.nightly parsed as (1, 3, 0) and supports_animation() warned from it -- a claim to positive knowledge the string does not make, and dev builds are exactly where version-to-capability mapping breaks down. A suffixed patch (1.3.1-HEAD) still counts by its numeric prefix; a patch with no digits now leaves the whole version unread, which both callers already treat as benefit of the doubt (no animation warning, and the graphics capability query has the final say for Zellij). A missing patch is still zero: 0.45 means 0.45.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
What
--animatenow warns once on stderr when the animation is headed somewhere it positively will not play, instead of leaving an unexplained static first frame. kittyview sends its animation (a=fframes plus ana=acontrol) withq=2, so the terminal's refusal is otherwise suppressed.The kitty graphics protocol has no capability query for animation, so unlike graphics support this is unavoidably a judgement from names.
TerminalInfo::supports_animation()returns false only where the implementation's own source confirms animation will not play; unrecognised terminals and unreadable versions get the benefit of the doubt, matchingsupports_unicode_placeholders.The warn list, with sources
a=f/a=a/a=cwith ENOTSUPPORTED (zellij-server/src/panes/kitty_graphics/parser.rs:333-338in v0.45.1). Warns even under--force, whose existing environment check already spots Zellij for placement.processGraphicsToken()dispatches only ona=t/T/q/p/d; animation actions fall through silently, with no reply. Unchanged from the MR that introduced kitty graphics in 22.04 ("Animation ... not supported") through master.// TODOstubs (KittyImageController.swift), identical from v3.6.0 through stable v3.7.2.GHOSTTY_KITTY_ANIMATION = (1, 4, 0)threshold in the style of the existing Zellij one.WezTerm is deliberately absent:
a=fanda=care fully implemented (term/src/terminalstate/kitty.rs) and frames play through its animated-image path with the per-framez=gaps kittyview sends; only thea=acontrol is ignored (tracking issue #986). Animations move there -- at worst the first frame's delay, set via the ignoreda=a, is off -- so "positively will not animate" does not hold.Decisions
check_terminal's at-most-one-warning rule. That rule collapses two diagnoses of one symptom (the image never arriving) into the more specific one; this is a different symptom (the image arriving and not moving), and both can be true at once -- e.g. Konsole under tmux with passthrough off, where each warning is separately actionable.frames.len() > 1, so--animate photo.pngstays silent -- a static image shows the same single frame everywhere, and the terminal is not the problem.Tests
13 new unit tests: the predicate across the full name list (including Zellij with a Confirmed graphics probe, which still refuses --
a=qOK says nothing about animation), Ghostty version thresholds with rc/dev/unparseable suffixes, Zellij deep in the stack and with leaked terminal names, and the warning message itself via a pureanimation_warning()helper structured like the existingunsupported_message.cargo test(180),cargo clippy -- -D warnings, andcargo fmt --checkall pass.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
