## Overview

Progress bars provide visual feedback for long-running operations directly in the terminal window. They render as thin overlays that do not interfere with terminal content.

## Protocols

### OSC 9;4 (ConEmu/Windows Terminal)

The standard protocol for simple progress bars. Supported states:

| State | Code | Description | Visual |
|-------|------|-------------|--------|
| **Hidden** | `0` | Remove progress bar | Bar disappears |
| **Normal** | `1` | Standard progress | Blue bar |
| **Error** | `2` | Error occurred | Red bar |
| **Indeterminate** | `3` | Unknown progress | Gray animated oscillating bar |
| **Warning** | `4` | Warning state | Yellow bar |

**Sequence format:**

```
ESC ] 9 ; 4 ; state ; percent ST
```

**Examples:**

```bash
# Show 50% progress
printf "\033]9;4;1;50\007"

# Show error state at 75%
printf "\033]9;4;2;75\007"

# Show indeterminate (animated)
printf "\033]9;4;3;0\007"

# Hide progress bar
printf "\033]9;4;0;0\007"
```

### OSC 934 (Named Progress Bars)

Extended protocol for multiple concurrent named progress bars. Each bar is identified by a unique name and managed independently.

**Sequence format:**

```
ESC ] 934 ; action ; id [ ; key=value ... ] ST
```

**Actions:**
- `set` — Create or update a named progress bar
- `remove` — Remove a specific named bar
- `remove_all` — Remove all named bars

**Parameters (key=value):**
- `state` — Progress state: `normal`, `error`, `indeterminate`, `warning`
- `percent` — Progress percentage (0-100)
- `label` — Optional text label displayed in `bar_with_text` style

**Examples:**

```bash
# Start two concurrent progress bars with labels
printf "\033]934;set;download;percent=30;label=Downloading file.tar.gz\007"
printf "\033]934;set;compile;state=indeterminate;label=Compiling\007"

# Update one
printf "\033]934;set;download;percent=80;label=Downloading file.tar.gz\007"

# Mark compile as complete and hide
printf "\033]934;remove;compile\007"

# Remove all named bars
printf "\033]934;remove_all\007"
```

Multiple concurrent bars stack vertically at the configured position (top or bottom of the terminal window).

## Configuration

All progress bar settings are available in the Settings UI under the **Appearance** tab (scroll to the **Progress Bar** sections at the bottom).

| Setting | Description | Default |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `progress_bar_enabled` | Enable progress bar rendering | `true` |
| `progress_bar_style` | Display style: `bar` or `bar_with_text` | `bar` |
| `progress_bar_position` | Position: `top` or `bottom` | `top` |
| `progress_bar_height` | Bar height in pixels | `4.0` |
| `progress_bar_opacity` | Opacity (0.0-1.0) | `0.8` |
| `progress_bar_normal_color` | Color for normal state (RGB) | `[80, 180, 255]` (blue) |
| `progress_bar_warning_color` | Color for warning state (RGB) | `[255, 200, 50]` (yellow) |
| `progress_bar_error_color` | Color for error state (RGB) | `[255, 80, 80]` (red) |
| `progress_bar_indeterminate_color` | Color for indeterminate state (RGB) | `[150, 150, 150]` (gray) |

**Example configuration:**

```yaml
progress_bar_enabled: true
progress_bar_style: bar_with_text
progress_bar_position: bottom
progress_bar_height: 4.0
progress_bar_opacity: 0.9
progress_bar_normal_color: [80, 180, 255]
progress_bar_warning_color: [255, 200, 50]
progress_bar_error_color: [255, 80, 80]
progress_bar_indeterminate_color: [150, 150, 150]
```

## Shader Integration

The `iProgress` vec4 uniform exposes progress bar state to custom GLSL shaders, enabling shader effects that react to progress:

| Component | Description | Range |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| `iProgress.x` | State: 0=hidden, 1=normal, 2=error, 3=indeterminate, 4=warning | 0.0-4.0 |
| `iProgress.y` | Progress percentage | 0.0-1.0 |
| `iProgress.z` | Active flag (any bar visible) | 0.0 or 1.0 |
| `iProgress.w` | Active bar count | 0.0+ |

**Example shader usage:**

```glsl
void mainImage(out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord) {
    vec2 uv = fragCoord / iResolution.xy;

    // Glow effect at screen edges during progress
    if (iProgress.z > 0.5) {
        float edge = smoothstep(0.0, 0.05, uv.x) * smoothstep(0.0, 0.05, 1.0 - uv.x);
        float glow = (1.0 - edge) * iProgress.y * 0.3;

        // Color based on state
        vec3 color = vec3(0.0, 1.0, 0.0); // normal = green
        if (iProgress.x > 1.5 && iProgress.x < 2.5) color = vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0); // error = red
        if (iProgress.x > 3.5) color = vec3(1.0, 0.8, 0.0); // warning = yellow

        fragColor += vec4(color * glow, glow);
    }
}
```

## Shell Usage Examples

### Bash Progress Wrapper

```bash
# Function to show progress for a loop
progress_loop() {
    local total=$1
    shift
    for i in $(seq 1 "$total"); do
        printf "\033]9;4;1;%d\007" $((i * 100 / total))
        "$@"
    done
    printf "\033]9;4;0;0\007"
}

# Usage: progress_loop 10 sleep 0.5
```

### Download Progress

```bash
# Show progress during a download
printf "\033]9;4;3;0\007"  # Indeterminate while starting
curl -O https://example.com/file.tar.gz
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    printf "\033]9;4;1;100\007"  # Complete
else
    printf "\033]9;4;2;0\007"    # Error
fi
sleep 1
printf "\033]9;4;0;0\007"  # Hide
```

### Named Concurrent Tasks

```bash
# Run multiple tasks with individual progress bars
printf "\033]934;set;lint;percent=0;label=Linting\007"
printf "\033]934;set;test;percent=0;label=Testing\007"

# Update as tasks progress
printf "\033]934;set;lint;percent=50;label=Linting\007"
printf "\033]934;set;test;percent=25;label=Testing\007"

# Complete
printf "\033]934;remove;lint\007"
printf "\033]934;set;test;percent=100;label=Testing complete\007"
printf "\033]934;remove;test\007"
```
