Margin 0.2.0

The review screen is now a Tern Surface Protocol program instead of a plugin block. It no longer depends on plugin code in the window, so it should also work in Tern's upcoming iOS and web clients (tested on macOS only).

• New margin review FILE runs the review in the current pane. margin open starts it in a split with tern split and waits for its exit status, so it no longer depends on which client has focus, and plugin reloads can't end the wait early.
• Exit status is the result: 0 for done (D), 3 for closed early (q). Receipt files are gone.
• The comment box supports Tern's native editing (selection, ⌘⌫, ⌘Z) when it is on.
• Install with npm install -g github:Noctivoro/tern-margin (Node 22+). The Tern plugin is now optional and only adds the Review this Markdown file palette command.
• tern open FILE.md is no longer routed to Margin; it opens Tern's file view.
• The Luau implementation is replaced by JavaScript modules with the same rules and tests.

Install:

npm install -g github:Noctivoro/tern-margin

Needs Node 22+. Tested with Tern 0.6.1 on macOS.

Margin 0.1.0

First release of Margin, a Markdown review plugin for Tern.

• Review block that renders a Markdown file block by block and attaches CriticMarkup comments to paragraphs, list items, headings, tables and code blocks.
• Add, edit and delete comments. Edits touch only the comment's bytes, and the file is written in place so symlinks and modes survive.
• Re-reads the file before every write; an outside change reloads the file and keeps the unsaved comment.
• tern open FILE.md route (temp folders and .git/ excluded), a toggle, and a "Review this Markdown file" palette command.
• margin CLI: margin open waits for the reviewer and reports done, abandoned or closed; margin doctor counts leftover CriticMarkup.

Install:

tern plugin install github.com/Noctivoro/tern-margin

Tested with Tern 0.6.1. On macOS, see the README for making held k/j repeat.
