Summary
scrolling_textProof
After the early return, let text length be
L, width beW, padding length beP, and normalized start position beS. The scrolling path hasL > W, soW <= L - 1. The caller provides a nonnegative offset and width of at least 4, so for cycle lengthL + P,0 <= S <= L + P - 1.Therefore:
The duplicated buffer
${text}${padding}${text}has length2L + P, so every visible slice ends before that buffer ends. The deleted fallback branch cannot execute.Behavior preservation
The old reachable path and the simplified implementation both run:
The duplicated text still handles crossing the conceptual cycle boundary. No output behavior changes.
Tests
bash -n nowplaying.tmux scripts/*.sh./scripts/test.shshellcheck nowplaying.tmux scripts/*.shAll checks pass.
