Refactor buffer trimming logic to use dynamic line counts (_lines per entry) against PAD_SIZE (10k) instead of fixed entry count (MAX_BUFFER_SIZE=200). This prevents premature cleanups for short messages, reduces scrolling disruptions during history loads, and scales better with rendered content size. Delete oldest/newest entry from opposite end only when total lines approach ncurses pad limit, minimizing unnecessary deletions. Simplify overflow warning log by removing unused MAX_BUFFER_SIZE reference. Update buffer.c header for improved DX: - Add detailed module overview explaining role (in-memory UI buffer vs. DB persistence), key features (trimming, metadata), and integration (ncurses). - Shorten copyright/license boilerplate to concise pointer (LICENSE ref). - Add fork notice; preserve original copyrights per GPLv3. Partially addresses #36 (stuck scroll mitigation via fewer cleanups) Related to #36

*
|
||||
* Message buffer implementation for CProof.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* This module provides an in-memory buffer for managing active chat entries in the
|
||||
* console-based XMPP client. Separate from persistent SQLite storage, it holds
|
||||
* messages and metadata solely for UI rendering, ensuring responsive scrolling and
|
||||
* display without exceeding ncurses pad limits (10k lines). By tracking rendered
|
||||
* line counts per entry, it proactively trims content to prevent overflow, enabling
|
||||
* seamless integration with ncurses for position-aware rendering.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Key features and operations:
|
||||
* - Append/prepend entries (messages) with automatic line-based cleanup.
|
||||
* - Track cumulative lines for overflow prevention and efficient buffer sizing.
|
||||
* - Remove entries by ID or index; mark delivery receipts as received.
|
||||
* - Retrieve entries by index or ID for rendering and history queries.
|
||||
* - Store metadata including timestamps, senders, themes, and ncurses y-positions.
