Nine findings, one critical. Terminal cases verified in a real terminal first.
CRITICAL: cells held the accumulated SGR history, so every state boundary
re-emitted the whole chain — output switching color without a full reset
emitted O(n^2) characters. Measured: 3200 such cells produced 25 MB, and the
reviewer's ~90 KB alternating-color case is well under bash's own output cap.
State is now a normalized record (foreground, background, attribute set) with
one canonical sequence per boundary, so the emitted text is linear in cells;
the 90 KB case parses in 36 ms. That also makes the attribute closers every
chalk-based tool writes actually close: `\x1b[1mbold\x1b[22mplain` leaves the
following write PLAIN, which a real terminal confirms.
Width follows emoji presentation, not the U+2600-U+27BF block: `A✓B` redrawn
with `XY` shows `XYB`, so the check every progress line writes is ONE column.
Taking the block as wide misaligned exactly the output this card exists for.
Writing over either half of a wide pair blanks the other, since a terminal
cannot leave one cell of a two-cell glyph standing.
`line\n\x1b[0m` does not end in a newline as a string yet its last parsed line
holds nothing visible, so the terminator check now reads the parsed lines — it
had added a blank row and inflated the collapse count.
A line with no cursor movement no longer builds a column buffer at all; only
its SGR is folded, so an `ls -R` or a 5k-line log allocates nothing per
character.
The `.terminalDescription` rule had been inserted into an existing grouped
selector, silently giving `.codeBody` description typography and changing its
bottom margin from 4px to 0 — a pre-existing surface this PR does not own.
Split out, `.codeBody`'s margin restored.
Three comments contradicted their code: the fixture's exit-marker line (still
claiming recovery from a marker deliberately removed), `bash-sample`'s header
(still routing a click to the details panel, and calling the consumer's cap the
block's own), and a DetailsPanel comment stacked above the wrong rule. The
ui-primitives README documented only the CR/BS half of the replay, so a reader
would expect `OK0%` where `100%\r\x1b[KOK` renders `OK`.
The native adapter's route was named deepseek, colliding with pi-ai's
catalog provider of the same name, so the two DeepSeek paths could never
be mounted side by side. The web settings page needs both configurable at
once. Compositions, fixtures, goldens, scaffolding defaults, and docs all
move together (pre-release, no shim); TUI/session-query-spill/
missing-credential goldens re-recorded through their keyless refresh
modes because provider-name length shifts box padding and spill
truncation points.
CI's coverage gate caught `ansi.ts` at 95.31% branches. My local check had
scoped coverage to that one file, which measures a different test set than
the gate does — the gate is the authority and it was right.
Three branches. Two are now pinned, each verified in a real terminal first:
`ab\r` + U+0301 + `x` shows `xb` — the redraw leaves the cursor at column 0,
so a combining mark has no cell to attach to and the terminal shows nothing
for it. It also revealed that the mark was kept when `cursor` was 0, which is
fixed.
`ab\rX\x1b[31m` then a plain line shows `Xb` unstyled and the next line RED:
the mirror of the reset case, where the scan ends styled while the last cell
is not, so the convergence has to OPEN the run at the line end for it to
reach the following line.
The third was `?? ''` on a `String.split` result, which always yields at
least one element — removed rather than tested, since no input can reach it.
Eight findings, each terminal case verified in a real terminal first:
`\x1b[32mdone\rok\x1b[0m` then `plain` shows `okne` green and `plain` in the
DEFAULT color. The replay returned the last written cell's state, so a reset
landing after the final write vanished from both the text and the returned
state — and every build tool writes exactly that shape, so the color leaked
onto all later output. The replay now converges to the state the scan ended
in, which is also what it hands to the next line.
`abcd\b\x1b[1K|` shows ` |`: CSI 1K erases THROUGH the cursor column, and
the loop stopped before it. The erase mode also reads only the first
parameter now, since a terminal treats `1;2K` exactly as `1K`.
`éx\rYZ` shows `YZ`: a combining mark takes no column, so it attaches
to the cell already written instead of advancing the cursor and leaving the
`x` standing.
`中x\rA` shows `A x`: overwriting a wide character's lead cell leaves its
spacer as a blank rather than closing the gap, which would shift everything
after it one column left.
The banner lost its span when the gutter became padding — a plain block child
only reaches the content box, so the reserved column was painted in the body
color and the card's top-left radius drawn in it. Invisible in the light
theme, where banner and body share a token; visible in the dark one. The
header now pulls back across the gutter and re-insets by the same amount.
The replay trigger matches the same CSI shape the parser accepts, so a form
like `\x1b[1;2K` can no longer skip its own erase, and `replayLine`'s JSDoc
documents its new parameter and returned pair.
Docs: four places still described the dot as sitting left of the card surface,
which stopped being true when the gutter became the card's own padding, and
two fixture comments still referenced the exit marker that was deliberately
removed.
Six findings. Each terminal-semantics case was checked in a real terminal
(tmux, reading back the painted screen) before changing anything:
`100%\r\x1b[KOK` shows `OK`. Modelling the `\r` without its erase left the
previous frame's tail standing — a regression against the old truncate, since
`\r\x1b[K` is the single idiom every spinner and progress bar writes. Erase is
now part of the same replay, in all three parameter forms.
`a\tb\rXY` shows `XY b`. Counting a tab as one column produced `XYb` and
destroyed the alignment this card exists to hold, so the cursor now advances
by terminal columns: tabs reach the next 8-column stop and a wide character
takes two cells.
`\x1b[31mabc\rX\nnext` paints BOTH lines red. A newline does not reset the
graphic state, so state threads from one replayed line to the next instead of
closing at each line end.
Only `m` accumulates into a cell's style now. Folding cursor and erase
sequences in grew the state string per redraw and emitted boundaries anser
had to discard.
The empty check reads the parsed lines the card renders rather than the raw
text: output that is only escapes or control bytes survives `trim()` yet
parses to nothing, and drew blank rows plus a copy control for invisible
bytes instead of the placeholder.
The gutter is the card's own left padding rather than a margin. Every render
site rewrites `margin` wholesale for its own indent, which silently cancelled
the reservation and let a container clip the dot.
The fixture sample no longer carries an `[exit code: 1]` line: the real bash
presenter consumes that marker precisely because the card shows the exit as
its own pill, so the built-bundle snapshot had pinned a frame showing it
twice — one the product path cannot produce.
Carriage return and backspace only MOVE the cursor; neither erases. Both of
my earlier approximations were wrong, and I checked each case against a real
terminal rather than reasoning about it:
`100%\rOK` shows `OK0%`, not `OK` — the redraw is shorter than the frame
beneath it, so the tail stands. `abc\b` still shows `abc`, not `ab` — a
trailing backspace has nothing to overwrite. `\x1b[31mgone\rkept` paints
`kept` RED, because a carriage return does not reset the graphic state, which
one of my own tests had asserted the opposite of.
Both now replay into a per-line column buffer with SGR state stamped per
column, as a terminal stores it per cell. That gives the partial-overwrite
case its real result too: red `bad`, three backspaces, then `ok` shows `okd`
with the `d` still red, since `ok` reached only two of the three cells.
The presenter description now also renders at every site. An expanded row
draws it itself — the collapsed summary is hidden while open, so otherwise
the description was visible only collapsed, the opposite of "above the card"
— and the details panel draws it above the card as well.
Three of my own tests encoded the wrong semantics and were corrected with
their behavior, and the emit loop's gap-filling arm was removed as
unreachable: `\r` and backspace only move left, so no column can be unwritten.
The pending question now owns exactly two surfaces: the redesigned
QuestionComposer takeover (footer pager, checkbox multi-select,
always-visible custom input, locale-injected bilingual chrome) collects
the answers, and a dedicated ask_user_question toolview row reports the
interaction outcome — waiting, N/M answered, cancelled (ASK_CANCELLED),
or interrupted with stopped semantics (ASK_ABORTED). PendingCard narrows
to approval waits only. Toolview leading icons and the hover chevron
unify on the tertiary label color, the checklist glyph matches the
14px figma extract, and dev-watch registers CSS modules so css-only
edits rebuild.
Four review findings. Two are defects the previous two rounds introduced,
which the existing tests did not catch:
A backspace erased raw bytes, so one landing after an SGR reset ate part of
the escape: `\x1b[31mabc\x1b[0m\b\bXY` left `\x1b[` and repainted the rest of
the line with whatever the remainder parsed as. Backspaces now resolve over
VISIBLE characters — a CSI sequence is one indivisible unit a backspace steps
over on its way to the last printed character, so the surviving text keeps
the color its run authored.
The cwd normalizer popped a UNC share root: `\\server\share` with a `..`
became `/server`, losing the separators too. A UNC path's server and share
are its root, and Windows cannot climb above a share, so they are split off
and the remainder collapses against that root.
The other two are gaps the earlier fixes left:
The render-site fallback row still passed the args-derived summary, so any
terminal-declaring tool without its own keyed row (`terminal_send`) lost the
contract's above-card description. It now prefers the description exactly as
BashRow does.
A settled call read `call?.cwd`, which cannot tell "the call omitted a cwd"
from "the paging window dropped the call head". The second case has no cwd
anywhere and the original call may have used an explicit workdir, so it now
draws a bare `$` instead of naming the session workspace.
Clearing waitingApprovals in handleConnected raced the reconnect replay:
mux frames flow from stream open while onConnected waits for the
readiness handshake, so a replayed approval/requested could land first
and be wiped — amber dot and answerable card lost until the next
generation. The sweep moves to generation death (onStateChange
'reconnecting'), before any next-generation frame can exist, and now
also drops buffered answerable frames (approval/question pairs) whose
dead-generation rpcIds could never be answered — a session instantiated
later no longer replays zombie takeover cards. session/queued buffering
already re-baselines per generation; this closes the same window for
the interaction frames.
A multi-line command repeated the cwd label on every prompt row, which
states something the view does not know: it carries ONE working directory —
where the call started — and a `cd` in the command moves later lines
elsewhere. `cd ~` then `ls` rendered both rows labelled with the session
workspace while `ls` actually listed the home directory.
The label now appears on the first row only, and later rows keep a bare `$`
so they still read as prompts. Same reasoning as the run-state dot: neither
a per-line directory nor a per-line exit status exists to report.
The built-bundle snapshot records the effect on fixture turn 60's two-line
command (`fixture echo done` becomes `$ echo done`).
A popup on a host command is not a second command — it is what that
command's BARE invocation does on this client. CommandContribution loses
hostBacked (contributions are pure client commands again; a host-name
collision fails loud, unchanged for /model), and the contract gains
CommandDecoration + command.decorate(): key = the HOST command name, no
catalog row, no claim participation. Dispatch consults decorations only on
the bare paths (menu pick / bare enter) after the host row resolves; space
and argued enter never see them — the two edges hostBacked had to guard
explicitly hold by construction in the decoration model. A decorated name
with no host row in the session's directory never fires (a decoration
cannot manufacture a command).
ui-permission switches register→decorate with zero behavior change
(options still read the permissions projection; a pick still submits
'/permission <preset>'). Specs rewrite to the decoration semantics: no
catalog row, bare-enter popup vs argued-enter host claim, space host
claim, no-host-row miss, unavailable fall-through, duplicate fail-loud.
Three review findings, each verified against the presentation contract:
The call view's `description` was dropped, so a presenter that authors one
(`terminal_send` declares `Terminal <id>`) lost the contract's above-card text
and the row fell back to an unrelated args-derived summary. It now rides the
same derivation and outranks that summary.
A relative workdir was concatenated but never normalized, while the bash
executor resolves it before running: with session cwd `/w/app` and workdir
`..` the command runs in `/w`, yet the card displayed the label `..`. The
resolved path now collapses `.`/`..` segments, drops a `..` that would climb
past a root the way a filesystem does, and keeps a Windows path's separators
since the value is only ever displayed.
`run_code` sub-dispatches carry no presenter views on the shipped wire —
`session.ts` folds `tool/code-dispatch(-start)` with null views and the host's
`viewFor` presents only top-level call/result events — so a nested bash call
cannot reach a terminal card. The existing test only passed by injecting views
that path cannot produce; it now says so, and a second arm pins the no-view
shape the wire actually delivers.
Restoring master's fixture also fixed the todo snapshot lane, which my earlier
merge had broken by dropping the projection support the todo dock reads. The
terminal sample turn moved ahead of the todo turn, because the standing plan
retires at the next `turn/start` and a turn appended after it emptied the dock.
The card props are now nested under `card` so a render site spreads exactly the
primitive's own surface, and the fixture reads each sample's authored exit
status instead of re-implementing the bash tool's `parseExitStatus`.
Selecting a preset from the hero pushed the session into the conversation
view: the /permission switch logs its command/run + command/done pair, the
pair folds into flow nodes, and the composerPhase predicate counted ANY
node as conversation — so the hero (composerPhase === 'blank') collapsed.
The host-side blank bit was already correct (sessionBlank = no turn/start;
knob events open no turn), but the client derives its phase from window
content, and command rows are log-only records, not conversation.
derivePhase's hasContent now excludes command nodes — the client mirror of
the host predicate. The knob events themselves never fold (not
surface-eligible), so the pair was the only leak. Covers /plan on the hero
identically (same lifecycle pair, same predicate).
Specs: the host blank spec pins the three knob events as standalone
events; a session spec drives the /permission pair through the live path
and asserts phase stays 'blank' while the command node renders.
TestWorkspaces.listDirectory now records the signal and passes it to the
installed stub, mirroring the production face, so cancellation
integration tests can observe or reject on a superseded scan instead of
the harness silently dropping it.
