-### Phase 1 — complete the IME (§4)
-Implement items 1–4, with **Go unit tests** for item 3 (range-replace on the
-chunked buffer is pure and directly testable) and a state-assertion test for
-items 1/2 (after N frames, `app.State` holds the expected caret/selection and the
-next emitted op set is correct). This is the make-or-break feature.
+### Phase 1 — complete the IME (§4) — DONE (`9b78219`, `72b3c3f`)
+All four items implemented and tested:
+- **Item 3** (`9b78219`): `HandleKeyDown` honors `key.EditEvent.Range` via
+  `HandleReplaceRange` (rune→byte via UTF-8 leading-byte scan, string + chunked
+  paths). Also fixed a multi-chunk `Delete` corruption and a `FullContent`
+  truncation bug found while testing it.
+- **Items 1/2/4** (`72b3c3f`): `TextField.Draw` emits, when focused,
+  `key.InputHintOp{HintText}`, `key.SnippetCmd` (the **visible window** as the
+  snippet, `Range {0,len}` so the IME reports `EditEvent.Range` window-relative),
+  and `key.SelectionCmd` (caret, window-relative rune index). `HandleReplaceRange`
+  offsets the window-relative range by `IMEWindowStartByte` (new `EditorState`
+  fields set during layout) to address the buffer.
+
+Tests: `ime_range_test.go` covers string + chunked + unicode + swapped-bounds +
+windowed (scrolled) paths for item 3. Items 1/2/4 are renderer-side op emission
+(not observable headlessly); they are verified by build + on-device (Phase 2).
+
+Note: pushing the visible window (not the whole file) as the snippet keeps IME
+traffic small for large files. An `EditEvent.Range` that falls outside the
+window (the IME discarding and re-anchoring the snippet — a rare case) is
+clamped to the window end by the byte-conversion, so it degrades rather than
+corrupting; the common within-window path is exact.

   `-race` is green and is now a standing regression gate.
 - **Chunked buffer at 10 MB** (Phase 3): unproven on-device; the measurement is
   the gate for the size claim.
+- **Chunked buffer fixed-slot drift** (Phase 3, discovered during IME work): the
+  buffer models chunk *i* as bytes `[i*chunkSize, (i+1)*chunkSize)`. That holds
+  for a freshly loaded file and for read-only display, but a **length-changing
+  edit** (insert/delete) shifts the bytes after the edit point, so the
+  fixed-slot offsets no longer line up for any *not-yet-loaded* tail chunk. In
+  practice: (a) files fully in memory are fine (all chunks loaded, `FullContent`
+  concatenates by index); (b) the caret region is always loaded, so **IME commits
+  at the caret are correct**; (c) a *large* file with an *unloaded* tail that is
+  then edited and scrolled into is where it breaks (lazy `loadChunk` reads stale
+  disk, since the file is only rewritten whole on save). A proper fix is a rope
+  or an offset-index structure. Phase 3 must either avoid this case (cap edits
+  to loaded region / flush before loading a shifted tail) or replace the slot
+  model. Until then the honest size limit should assume the file is small enough
+  to stay fully in memory (the ~50 MB target is borderline; see §6).
