 This package owns interactive terminal presentation and input only. It injects `agents`, [`commands`](../commands/README.md), `llm`, `systemPrompt`, `tokenMeter`, `tools`, and `userInteraction`, optionally reads a `skills` service (present only when one is mounted), then drives an agent created or resumed by app or developer code.

 The TUI rebuilds resumed history from the append-origin session events, renders Markdown responses and reasoning, applies each tool's `presentCall` / `presentResult` intent to terminal, diff, or generic cards, keeps the standing `todo/write` plan above the editor (cleared on the next `turn/start`), and presents `ctx.userInteraction` questions in a wide bottom-left keyboard panel with progress, numbered options, and aligned descriptions. The latest logged session title becomes the header subtitle, with `welcome` before a title exists, and the terminal window title becomes `<session title> — <configured title>`. A durable `llm/retry` event retracts the failed step's live chunks and renders the scheduled retry count, delay, and failure in the transcript; success, exhaustion, and cancellation then settle through ordinary session events. The footer totals each logged model step's usage once, including failed attempts, while treating committed-message usage as a fallback for logs without a usage chunk. Its idle view compares token-meter pressure with `ctx.llm.resolveModelInfo()` context for the current route, displays `context unknown` when the adapter has no capacity metadata, and also shows tool-card mode plus the current model and any explicitly selected reasoning effort; while the agent runs, an elapsed working indicator and `esc interrupt` replace that summary. A surface replacement never rewrites the rendered transcript: the conversation it shadows stays readable, and a landed compaction checkpoint adds one dim `… earlier context was compacted …` marker at its log position, so the terminal reports where the model stopped seeing that history instead of erasing it. Model-only replacement copies — a pruned tool result, a regenerated assistant message — render nothing.

@@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ Typing `@` at a token boundary searches files and directories under the session

 When optional `ctx.sessionReferences` is mounted, the same `@` menu also offers metadata-only session candidates, inserts `@[label](dsh-session:<payload>)`, and prepares the selected snapshots before dispatch. Session references remain structured because the model has no filesystem-like tool for retrieving session snapshots later. Preparation disables duplicate submission and restores the editor input on failure. The TUI chooses `agent.steer()` or `agent.followup()` from the status after that asynchronous preparation, so idle follow-ups still dispatch `agent/prompt-submit` while in-turn steering joins at a checkpoint without that hook.

-While the agent is running, ordinary editor submissions call `agent.steer()`; otherwise they call `agent.followup()`. A slash at the start of the submitted line enters `ctx.commands` instead: known commands execute directly, unknown commands produce a warning, and neither path automatically reaches the model. A command producer may explicitly schedule agent work; [`dsh-plan-mode`](../../plan/plan-mode/README.md#model-and-human-surfaces) uses that contract for `/plan [message]`. The TUI registers `/help`, `/model`, `/clear`, `/palette`, `/reload`, `/resume`, `/status`, and `/exit` as agent-scoped definitions; every other effective command joins autocomplete and `/help` dynamically, as do `/skill:` completions. A status line above the editor reports the turn phase the TUI derives from session events — waiting for the first token, thinking, responding, or executing tools — with the elapsed time in that phase and the running step total, refreshed each second, and ends with the `Enter sends steering, Esc cancels` hint; while steering messages wait to reach the model it inserts a `N queued ·` badge before the hint that clears as each drains. Ctrl+C or Escape cancels a running turn. Tool and injected-context cards collapse long bodies into a configurable head/tail preview; Ctrl+O cycles tool cards through collapsed preview, full output, and hidden — the hidden phase drops tool cards from the transcript entirely while context cards stay at their preview, since injected instructions are not tool traffic. An injected-context card renders its message as prose with the producer's outer reminder frame stripped, so neither the fold nor the frame stripping depends on the payload's syntax. Ctrl+R toggles reasoning, Ctrl+L redraws, and Ctrl+D exits while idle.

During a live standalone compaction bracket, a fixed `Context being compacted <elapsed>` row appears above the prompt, the idle prompt caret becomes a one-cell throbbing `⊙`, and terminal progress stays active until close; the row and glyph share the bracket's one refresh timer. This live state is never reconstructed from the log; a failed close adds `Compaction failed: <error>` to the transcript, while a resumed orphaned start never activates the indicator ([decision](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-30-compaction-progress-visibility.md)). Ctrl+C or Escape cancels a running turn.

 `/model` opens the advisory `ctx.llm` catalog as a keyboard selector: a filter box above the list narrows rows by a case-insensitive substring over each row's `provider/model` label, model name, and description, keeping the highlighted row selected when it survives the filter; Up/Down moves, Shift+Tab cycles the focused model's adapter-advertised reasoning efforts in display order, Enter selects the model and effort, and Escape clears a non-empty filter before a second Escape closes it. When an adapter does not advertise a default effort, the cycle also includes `Default`, which clears an explicit selection and preserves the provider default; models without selectable effort metadata ignore Shift+Tab. The selector renders the exact advertised effort list—including `off` when present—and does not synthesize, clamp, or transfer an effort between models. `/model <model>` still selects an unambiguous model id directly, while `/model <provider>/<model>` selects an exact target and uses its adapter default when one exists. 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 provider/model/reasoning-effort target 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.

 The exit line is launcher-owned, not configurable. A launcher provides `TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY` on the boot context — for the shipped `dsh`, the command that resumes this session — and exiting prints it verbatim after the terminal is released; absent, exiting prints nothing. Only the launcher knows how it was invoked, so only it can name a command that works. The TUI escapes terminal controls before rendering and never executes the text. A launcher that also supplies `MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY` fixes which session the mounted app binds to, so resume survives any config-level patch.

-A launcher can seed a fresh session's first turn by providing `INITIAL_SKILL_KEY` (the skill name) on the boot context; the TUI auto-invokes it exactly as a typed `/skill:<name>`, once the chat is live. The shipped `dsh migrate`/`dsh upgrade` set it and only for a fresh session, so a resumed session never re-invokes the skill; an unknown name is reported as a notice.

Colors and attributes are separately typed, so `bold(accent(x))` compiles and `accent(error(x))` does not — SGR has no color stack, so nesting one color inside another silently drops the outer color at the inner one's close.

 Grouped regions (user prompts, assistant replies, tool cards) are separated by a bold, underlined role header in the role color and blank-line spacing rather than a filled block or a per-line prefix, so a mouse drag-select copies the message text without any leading bar or indent; a tool card's status (pending, error, success) shows in its colored, underlined title glyph and title. Inside a tool card, the whole body — presenter title, a terminal `$` command and cwd, and the tool's own output — renders in one dim tone, so only the status-colored header carries color and the body reads as one recessed block instead of a run of competing shades; an injected-context card's prose is the same tone as its header. A diff card's `+`/`-` lines and a `[signal …]` marker stay colored, because there the color is the meaning rather than emphasis. The question panel emphasizes its active row with bold accent text, while selectors use reverse video. These treatments are foreground-only, so they never collide with the terminal background.
