I'd call it "user interface code". If you refer to the stack dump below, you see that the TextEditor pretty much directly invokes the Compiler, triggered by a keystroke event that is handled by the hierarchy of morphs and generated by the Morphic main loop (with a slight diversion via the ToolSet layer).
