Owner answer: "paced connect: in". Measured on the checkpoint build: of
the 140 ms between the click on Tiles and its first frame, about 100 ms
was the six xterms being built inside the click, so nothing moved on
screen for that long and the entrance could not start.
openTileGrid now mounts every tile and lays the grid out as before, then
_connectTilesPaced builds one terminal per animation frame, the focused
tile's first, then reading order. The click paints its empty tiles in
about 20 ms and the entrance plays while the terminals are built. The
time until every tile has painted does not change: the load queue serves
one capture at a time, so only the focused tile's connect is on its path,
one frame later. Each tile still connects once, into its final cell (one
fit, one PTY resize).
- openTileGrid returns before the terminals exist, so a selection that
focuses a tile whose terminal is not built yet hands the keyboard over
in _connectTile (focusOnConnect), never when focus: false was asked,
and to the newly focused tile when focus moved meanwhile.
- _connectTile connects a tile once (entry.connected; a remount after
Attach resets it), so a re-form or a remount before a tile's turn is
never connected twice.
- A grid closed or opened again meanwhile stops the old run (a run
token), and asks for no further frames.
Tests: tile-grid-paced-connect.test.ts (the order, the final cells, the
keyboard, close and reopen, removed and remounted tiles); the tests that
read connect or the terminal's focus right after openTileGrid now run
the queued frames first (flushFrames in the vm harness), every
assertion kept.

Owner decision 10 ("give me then the option to choose only HOW many
tiles, 2,4,6 default is 6 so the menu is easier"; asked where it lives:
"Click opens 6"). The click still opens the grid at once; right-click,
Shift+F10 or the Menu key on the button opens a small menu of three
counts, each drawn as the grid's own layout (2x1, 2x2, 3x2), the
remembered one checked. It replaces the session picker, which is gone
(method, markup hook, CSS, zh-CN entries).
- A pick is remembered per device in codeman:tile-count (default 6;
codeman:tile-grid stays ids only) and opens that many tiles. The click
and Ctrl+Shift+G then open with it, at most what the window fits.
- Which sessions: the rule the click already had (the grid this tab
last had, else an open split's two, else tab order, the active one
included and focused), trimmed from the end (the focused one kept) or
filled from tab order to the count. A remembered grid comes back with
its tiles first, in their cells, holes filled first, then tab order
(owner answer, superseding decision 8's "exactly the stored set"). A
page-load restore still brings back exactly what was stored.
- With the grid open a pick re-forms it: a count change is a shape
change under the cell model's rule (reformTileCells), the focused tile
always kept, every joining tile mounted and laid out before any of
them connects, so each fits once and sends one PTY resize.
- Ctrl/Cmd+click on a tab with the grid closed opens the count in total,
that session among them and focused (owner answer: N, not N+1).
- A count the window cannot fit is greyed out with the reason; a
remembered one stays checked, the keyboard starts on the largest that
fits. Arrows, Home/End, Enter or Space; Escape closes the menu alone
(the global handler gives it the key first, like the tab-group menu)
and puts the keyboard back on the Tiles button; Tab and a click
elsewhere close it.
- zh-CN for every new string (N 个窗格, 窗格数量, the titles, the Help
modal row); the i18n test harvests the menu now, with a session named
"6 tiles" as the user-text trap.
Tests: tile-grid-picker.test.ts becomes tile-grid-count-menu.test.ts
(the button checks kept, every picker check carried over to the menu,
plus keyboard, remembered count, re-form, Ctrl/Cmd+click and the batch
connect); the open-set, cap, restore, shortcuts, split-coexistence and
i18n expectations follow the count; the Help modal test escapes its
label (the new one has parentheses). The vm harness tracks
document.activeElement and makes SVG elements.
