@@ -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, the idle prompt caret becomes a one-cell throbbing `⊙` and terminal progress stays active until close; a failed close adds `Compaction failed: <error>`, 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.

 挂载可选的 `ctx.sessionReferences` 后，同一个 `@` 菜单还会提供仅含元数据的会话候选项，插入 `@[label](dsh-session:<payload>)`，并在分派前准备所选快照。会话引用保持结构化，因为模型没有类似文件系统的工具可在稍后检索会话快照。准备期间会禁止重复提交，并在失败时恢复编辑器输入。TUI 会在异步准备后根据状态选择 `agent.steer()` 或 `agent.followup()`，因此空闲 followup 仍会分派 `agent/prompt-submit`，而轮次中的 steering 会在检查点加入且不触发该 hook。
 
-Agent 运行时，普通编辑器提交会调用 `agent.steer()`；其他时候调用 `agent.followup()`。提交行以斜杠开头时会改为进入 `ctx.commands`：已知命令直接执行，未知命令产生警告，两条路径都不会自动到达模型。命令生产方可以显式调度 agent 工作；[`dsh-plan-mode`](../../plan/plan-mode/README.md#model-and-human-surfaces) 使用该契约实现 `/plan [message]`。TUI 将 `/help`、`/model`、`/clear`、`/palette`、`/reload`、`/resume`、`/status` 和 `/exit` 注册为 agent 作用域定义；其他所有有效命令都会动态加入自动补全与 `/help`，`/skill:` 补全也相同。编辑器上方的状态行会报告 TUI 从会话事件派生的轮次阶段，包括等待首个 token、思考、响应或执行工具；它显示该阶段已经过时间和运行中的步骤总数，每秒刷新，并以 `Enter sends steering, Esc cancels` 提示结尾。Steering 消息等待到达模型期间，会在提示前插入 `N queued ·` 徽标，每条消息排空后随即清除。Ctrl+C 或 Escape 会取消运行中的轮次。工具卡片与注入上下文卡片都把长主体折叠为可配置的头尾预览；Ctrl+O 让工具卡片在折叠预览、完整输出、隐藏三种状态间循环——隐藏阶段把工具卡片从 transcript 中完全去掉，而上下文卡片保持预览，因为注入的指令不属于工具流量。注入上下文卡片把消息渲染为文本，并去掉生产方的外层提醒外框，因此折叠与去外框都不依赖载荷的语法。Ctrl+R 切换 reasoning，Ctrl+L 重绘，Ctrl+D 在空闲时退出。
