The TUI rebuilds resumed history from the active session surface, renders Markdown responses and reasoning, applies each tool's `presentCall` / `presentResult` intent to terminal, diff, or generic cards, keeps the latest `todo/write` plan above the editor, and presents `ctx.userInteraction` questions as keyboard-driven overlays. Surface replacement events rebuild the transcript so compacted history does not reappear.

The TUI rebuilds resumed history from the active session surface, renders Markdown responses and reasoning, applies each tool's `presentCall` / `presentResult` intent to terminal, diff, or generic cards, keeps the latest `todo/write` plan above the editor, and presents `ctx.userInteraction` questions in a wide bottom-left keyboard panel with progress, numbered options, and aligned descriptions. The idle footer shows token-meter context occupancy, tool-card mode, and the current model with reasoning state; while the agent runs, an elapsed working indicator and `esc interrupt` replace that summary. Surface replacement events rebuild the transcript so compacted history does not reappear.
|
||||
|
||||
Before model output, session events, tool presenters, questions, configuration, or diagnostics reach pi-tui's ANSI-aware renderers or the terminal title, the TUI renders C0 and C1 controls other than line feeds as visible `\xNN` text. Those sources cannot add terminal control sequences; the TUI and pi-tui retain ownership of terminal rendering and styling.

While the agent is running, editor submissions call `agent.steer()`; otherwise they call `agent.send()`. Ctrl+C or Escape cancels a running turn. Ctrl+O expands tool cards, Ctrl+R toggles reasoning, Ctrl+L redraws, and Ctrl+D exits while idle. `/help`, `/clear`, `/cancel`, `/reasoning`, `/tools`, `/redraw`, and `/exit` provide the same actions without key chords.

While the agent is running, editor submissions call `agent.steer()`; otherwise they call `agent.send()`. Ctrl+C or Escape cancels a running turn. Tool cards collapse long bodies into a configurable head/tail preview; Ctrl+O toggles every card between its preview and full output. Ctrl+R toggles reasoning, Ctrl+L redraws, and Ctrl+D exits while idle. `/help`, `/model`, `/clear`, `/cancel`, `/reasoning`, `/tools`, `/redraw`, and `/exit` provide terminal-only controls without entering command text into the session.

`/model` opens the advisory `ctx.llm` catalog as a keyboard selector: Up/Down moves, Enter selects, and Escape closes it. `/model <model>` still selects an unambiguous model id directly, while `/model <provider>/<model>` selects an exact target. The configured target or latest logged request header initializes the selector, and an unlisted current model remains visible because catalogs are advisory. Selection is local to this TUI session. Prompt assembly snapshots the target for one step, replaces `{{provider}}` and `{{model}}`, and applies the same pair through `agent/request`; a switch during assembly therefore starts with a later step. The request header durably records targets that reach the model, while an unused selection remains process-local.

Startup fails before mounting when either process stream is not a TTY. The composing app must mount the TUI before its config-created agent so the front door can observe `agent-loop/config-start-failed`; a matching exact-session failure is written before fullscreen mode starts and exits with status 1 instead of leaving a blank terminal. Disposal stops loaders, rejects pending questions, drains terminal input, restores terminal state, unregisters event listeners and the user-interaction provider, and never exits a replacement process during HMR.

## Color
|
||||
|
||||
The palette uses the standard 16-color ANSI foregrounds and SGR attributes, which every terminal remaps to its active color scheme, so it stays readable on light and dark backgrounds alike. Body text keeps the terminal's default foreground rather than a fixed shade. Grouped regions (user prompts, tool cards) use a colored left-gutter bar instead of a filled background block, and the question overlay's active row uses reverse video; both are foreground-only, so they never collide with the terminal background. Set `color: false` to strip all styling.

#### What the model sees
|
||||
|

The `/model` command text and keyboard-selector input are not logged or sent. New steps receive the selected provider/model pair in both prompt variables and request routing.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Token effect
|
||||
|
||||
The selector adds no messages. A target change may alter interpolated system-prompt text and sends subsequent requests to the selected model.
|
||||
|
||||
#### KV Cache effect
|
||||
|
||||
Changing provider or model enters that target's cache domain; no cache reuse across distinct targets is assumed.
