Vitor PamplonaandClaude Opus 4.8 8232cd50a3 test(embed): add IME/selection test harness + document how to run it
tools/ime-test/index.html is a single-page input+textarea harness with an
on-page log timestamping focus/selection/input/composition events, paint
latency, long-tasks, and main-thread blocks — the instrumentation used to pin
the erase / caret-jump / first-letter-freeze bugs and what we'll use to profile
the magnifier. README documents serving it (python http.server on 8765,
10.0.2.2 for emulator / adb reverse for USB) and opening it as an embedded tab
via the in-app browser address bar. Plan gets a matching "How to test" section.

Dev tool only — nothing under tools/ ships, so the [ImeDiag] strings stay out of src/.

# IME / text-selection test harness
A single-file web page (`index.html`) for exercising and profiling the embedded
WebView IME + text-selection relay (see
`amethyst/plans/2026-06-25-embed-text-selection-native-parity.md`). It has a
plain `<input>` and a `<textarea>` plus an on-page green log that records, with
millisecond timestamps:
- focus/blur, `selectionchange`, `keydown`/`beforeinput`/`input`, composition
events, and the resulting `value`/selection — to catch erase, caret-jump, and
focus-transfer regressions;
- **paint latency** (`requestAnimationFrame` after each DOM change) — the metric
that exposed the first-letter freeze;
- **long-task** + **main-thread-block** detectors and a focus/selection
**heartbeat** — to catch anything stalling the WebView main thread or
spontaneously moving focus/selection.
The log lines are tagged `[ImeDiag]` and also go to `console.log`, so they show
up in `adb logcat` (the `:napplet` process owns the WebView console). Nothing
here ships in the app — it's a dev tool, which is why the `[ImeDiag]` strings
live only under `tools/`.
## Run it
1. Serve this directory over HTTP from your dev machine:
```bash
cd tools/ime-test && python3 -m http.server 8765
```
2. Reach it from the device/emulator:
- **Emulator:** the page is at `http://10.0.2.2:8765` (`10.0.2.2` is the
emulator's alias for the host loopback).
- **Physical device (USB):** `adb reverse tcp:8765 tcp:8765`, then the page is
at `http://localhost:8765`.
3. Open that URL as an **embedded** tab (this is the path that uses the relay —
*not* a full-screen activity):
- Open the in-app browser (`BrowserScreen`) and type the URL into its address
bar. The embedded browser handles `http`/`https`, so it loads into the
`:napplet` SurfaceControlViewHost surface.
To compare against native behavior, open the same URL in a full-screen
activity (where the WebView renders in-window with the native keyboard) — that
is also how you reproduce the **full-screen round-trip highlight bug** (open
full-screen, `back`, then selection highlight is dead across all embeds).
## Reading the log
- `INPUT … val=… sel=…` right after a keystroke with the right value = no erase.
- `PAINT-LATENCY Nms` spiking to ~1000ms = the first-letter freeze (should stay
low now that the surface no longer resizes on IME show).
- `MAINTHREAD BLOCKED` / `LONGTASK` = something is stalling the WebView thread.
- `HEARTBEAT` lines changing while idle = spontaneous focus/selection drift.
