Why

Users who know a path can jump directly to it in the active scan and continue browsing. A compact dialog keeps completion and navigation together.

What changed

  • Add Navigate > Go to Path… with Shift Command G, scan-backed breadcrumb suggestions, and automatic first-result selection. Only matching letters in the active path component use bold. Exact spelling ranks first. Traversal prefers exact spelling, then a unique case-insensitive match.
  • Keep the previous suggestions, match emphasis, and selection visible during completion lookup. A query-tagged batch replaces them together. Stale clicks and keyboard completion cannot activate old results; Return uses the entered text while lookup is pending.
  • Return or double-click navigates. Folders focus, files open their parent and become selected, and unavailable package or summarized contents are revealed in the parent. Back restores the previous location.
  • Use a native text field with explicit completion and clear requests. Validation preserves its editing session and edits cancel pending navigation. Displayed input includes composition so X clears visible text before closing an empty dialog. Errors stay inside the fixed results area.

Scope

  • Support absolute, home-relative and current-folder-relative paths within the displayed scan, including imported scans. Text covers all seven supported languages.
  • Show up to eight suggestions. Fuzzy search and paths outside the scan remain outside this command. Ambiguous case-insensitive traversal is rejected.

Tradeoffs

Tree traversal avoids another scan-wide index. Resolution and completion run off the main actor with cancellation. Exclusive double-click recognition preserves the original destination before a single click replaces suggestions.

The private AppKit adapter retains native Undo and observes its owned text storage to include uncommitted input. It preserves system text substitutions. AppKit renders selection material; Radix supplies its rounded clip and inset. The results area stays 212 pt tall, including errors, with scrolling for larger metrics.

Blast Radius

The command uses existing navigation and presentation owners and performs no file operations. Successful jumps clear visible search. Snapshot and tree identity checks reject obsolete dialogs, and cancellation prevents edited submissions from navigating later.

Verification

  • Completion-retention checks passed in this checkout's exact Debug app. A temporary two-second lookup delay exposed the original empty-list interval. The fixed list retained its rows and selection, ignored stale Tab, arrows, and row clicks, opened the newly entered Reports path on immediate Return, and stayed empty after Clear. The delay was removed. The final Debug build and all 1,186 core tests passed. Final app checks covered Tab, Undo and Redo, mouse completion, double-click file navigation, and selection retention as the query changed.
  • New resolver regressions failed before the fix. The full core suite passed 1,186 tests in 85 suites. An earlier run overlapped the app build and had unrelated asynchronous timeouts; the full rerun passed without source changes.
  • The complete Debug app built successfully. An isolated AppKit probe confirmed marked-text character notifications before commitment and empty input after clearing. Independent source and comment reviews found no actionable defects.
  • Exact Debug checks passed for failed-jump Undo and Redo, keyboard and mouse completion Undo boundaries, composition-aware X before and after mouse refocus, exact-case priority with explicit alternative selection, mixed-case directory traversal, file selection and Back. Match emphasis passed in selected and unselected rows, including ancestor prefixes. Child listings keep regular weight. Dialogs remained 1040 by 522 pixels. Inactive-window selection appearance remains unverified.

Walkthrough

Adds a Go to Path command and sheet that resolve paths against the current scan. The sheet provides path completions and navigates to matching visible files or directories.

Changes: Go to Path

Layer / File(s) Summary

The change is broadly mergeable, with a small usability fix needed for completing the exact scan-root path.

Explanation

The title "feat(navigation): add direct path navigation" matches the main change. The PR adds a Navigate > Go to Path… command (Shift-Command-G) with a dialog that resolves and completes paths from the active scan and navigates to folders or files. The title is specific and concise, uses a conventional-commit prefix, and does not list files or use vague terms. It does not mention completion suggestions, but that is a detail and not the main point.

Minor · Restore the exact scan root as a completion without changing… · ScanPathResolver.swift:40-52

Radix/Services/ScanPathResolver.swift:40-52
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the exact scan root as a completion without changing child listings.

For a scan rooted at /scan, entering /scan skips the root shortcut. The resolver then looks for children under /, so it returns no completion row. resolve("/scan") still accepts the root.

GoToPathSheet creates rows only from completions. Therefore, the exact root cannot be clicked, double-clicked, or completed with Tab. Direct submission remains available, so this is a narrow completion usability defect.

Do not only remove path != rootPath. That would also change /scan/ from the existing [root] + children result to only [root]. Allow the root shortcut only when the input does not request child listing.

Suggested fix
         guard limit > 0, let path = absolutePath(input) else { return [] }
         let rootPath = normalizedPath(treeStore.root.url.path)
-        if path != rootPath,
+        let listsChildren = input.hasSuffix("/") || input == "~"
+            || input.split(separator: "/").last.map { $0 == "." || $0 == ".." } == true
+        if !listsChildren,
            rootPath.range(of: path, options: [.anchored, .caseInsensitive]) != nil,
            isVisible(treeStore.root) {
            return [treeStore.root]
        }
 
-        let listsChildren = input.hasSuffix("/") || input == "~"
-            || input.split(separator: "/").last.map { $0 == "." || $0 == ".." } == true
         let components = path.split(separator: "/").map(String.init)
