Tubelight v0.1.1

Date: 2026-05-27
Author: Alonso J. Núñez (GS·RUN)
License: PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 — commercial: gsrun.editor@gmail.com
Status: PRIVATE release (repo GS-RUN/tubelight not yet public)

Highlights

  • Bilingual user manual (ES/EN) under docs/manual/: 307 KB single-file
    interactive HTML, 1.68 MB printable PDF, 80-col plain TXT, single-source
    bilingual JSON (15 sections, 25 glossary terms). 42 calibrated
    screenshots, every CRT and signal profile cited against its service
    manual or equivalent primary source.
  • Help → Open user manual button integrated into the in-app menu;
    the manual opens in your default browser from a layout-aware path
    resolver with GitHub fallback.
  • Reproducible capture pipeline: PowerShell scripts that drive
    tubelight.exe over a known WinForms test card, anchor via
    --overlay-target, and produce all 42 PNGs deterministically.
  • License switch to PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 (commercial contact
    in metadata).

Known limitations carried over

  • Pass 5 temporal persistence shader is identity; real implementation
    scheduled for v1.1.
  • Magnification API source rect is hardcoded to monitor rect — does not
    follow runtime Ctrl+Alt+T target changes. Use the CLI `--overlay-target <title>` flag for reliable anchoring.
  • Synthetic mouse clicks on ImGui tab bars over WS_EX_LAYERED windows
    don't switch tabs reliably; the per-tab menu screenshots were captured
    manually by a human operator.

Verified against historical hardware

Every CRT profile bundle is validated against a primary source: crtdatabase,
ManualsLib, archive.org Commodore 1084S-D1 Service Manual, gamesx.com X68000
wiki, NEC MultiSync 4FG Service Manual, Wikipedia EIA Phosphor Designations
table. URLs and retrieved_at dates live in each profiles/crts/<id>.json.
