The smoke's inline Python pty driver only ran on POSIX (no termios on
Windows). Rebuild every scenario — banner sweep, scripted conversation with
model switch, /skill:, Code Mode overlay, resume failure, and the dsh CLI
suite (default boot, personal overlay, invalid overlay, --resume flag,
source-path prompt) — as marker-gated action lists on pty-harness.ts, which
drives ConPTY via node-pty on Windows and the Python driver elsewhere. The
harness gains configArgs (bins with built-in default configs), prepare
(workspace seeding), and inspect (post-run log assertions); examples/
declares the session-title provider the shipped cordis.yml now mounts.
Master's log-backed session-title capability already titles sessions durably
(deterministic fallback in the spine, optional model providers). Remove the
TUI's own autoTitle generation — the latch, prompt, cap, and llm stream call —
and keep the terminal rename: the TUI folds the logged title on mount and sets
'<session title> — <configured title>' on every accepted session/title event.
The tui-agent example and the scripted PTY fixture mount
session-title-first-message-llm so titles stay model-made; the scripted
adapter's tool-less branch now answers that provider's auxiliary request.

Replace /mode [name] with same-named no-argument commands such as /plan. Update the TUI and ACP snapshots, and validate mode names against command syntax.
The built-bin fail-loud test needs the TTY refusal before Loader boot (a
compose-time throw is logged per-entry, not rethrown); the PTY driver drops
COLORTERM so a developer's truecolor shell cannot flip the banner to the
gradient path mid-assertion; the scripted fixture persists raw JSONL so the
smoke's system-prompt inspection can read the log.
Delete packages/ui/stdio and examples/repl-agent; rename stdio-demo to
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo (TUI-only, refuses pipes before Loader boot).
tui-agent owns the coding composition inline; echo-agent and the CI demo
smoke move to the one-shot cli-demo bin, which gains -p/--prompt. The
UI-independent with-key e2es move verbatim to tui-agent. SDK wizard's
'stdio' interface becomes 'tui'. PTY testing stays confined to TUI
surfaces; all other subprocess tests ride pipes.

Master unifies every live agent with its exact SessionId and moves declarative startup failures to agent-loop/config-start-failed. Keeping the branch’s AgentId label binding would let the TUI target the wrong lifecycle after reload and would miss asynchronous resume failures.
Resolve that contract migration by giving the selected terminal front door the same generated or resumed SessionId as agent-core, mounting the front door first, and entering fullscreen only after the matching root appears. Refresh the source-derived catalogs and keyless terminal goldens so Code Mode, workflow, Cordis-tool, and transient UI scenarios all exercise the merged identity model.
Model responses, replayed session data, tool presenter output, question metadata, configuration, and diagnostics all cross into ANSI-aware pi-tui renderers. Passing their C0 or C1 controls through unchanged lets an otherwise ordinary transcript emit OSC, CSI, cursor, or title operations in the user terminal.
Introduce one displayText boundary that preserves line-feed layout but renders every other C0/C1 control as visible \\xNN text before application styling is applied. Route transcript blocks, streaming output, tool cards, diffs, plans, dialogs, headers, cwd/title data, notices, errors, and pre-mount startup failures through that boundary while leaving pi-tui and the theme responsible for legitimate terminal control sequences.
Pin the contract at three levels: a settled headless-terminal golden spans the main untrusted display sources, unit coverage checks the pre-fullscreen failure path, and the real Loader/PTY conversation streams hostile OSC, cursor, and C1 probes and proves only their inert textual forms reach the terminal stream.
