ChiGao 8096ece889 feat(cli): OpenTUI migration batch 4 — dialogs, commands, and session-rewind (#10383)
* feat(cli): OpenTUI foundation modules — theme, a11y, clipboard, keys, dialogs scaffolding

Foundation batch of the OpenTUI migration tracked in #8662. Adds the renderer-neutral foundation modules under ui/opentui: theme family, a11y (plain-text, screen-reader), clipboard, key-map, mouse hit/caret, link-click + osc8 parity, early-input, exit guard/lifecycle, kitty negotiation, event-adapter, item-projection, slash dispatch (+ command parsing), commands context/output, help content, input history, and the dialog scaffolding primitives (core/shared) with the theme dialog. Two helpers land inside ui/opentui rather than utils/ to respect the utils leaf-layer rule (#9737). Stacked on the infra batch: consumes ui/model streaming model and @opentui deps. No reachable ink code changes beyond a one-line export addition in the shared osc8 module.

* fix(cli): import originals instead of forking slash parser and dialog scope utils

* fix(cli): address R1 review findings in OpenTUI foundation modules

* fix(cli): align OpenTUI command host with the memory-file-count rename

Upstream renamed setGeminiMdFileCount to setMemoryFileCount in the command
UI contract; the rebase onto main surfaced the mismatch at build. Rename
the host interface member, the bridge wiring, the dispatch stub, and the
test mock to match.

* feat(cli): OpenTUI migration live-session and input batch

Third landing batch of the OpenTUI migration (#8662): live-session stream
fold and model, message rendering (markdown heal, MCP progressive, client
tool runs, text batching), transcript adapter with resume/session-switch,
sticky todos, the composer (input-prompt view/key/model), mouse rows and
scrollbar, unified-diff rendering, and session-compaction notice. All
additive — no reachable ink code path is touched, ink remains the default.

Carries the first consumer of the remend dependency deferred from the
infra batch, placed in devDependencies per the renderer-deps convention.
The stacked-skill completion helpers import from the relocated
ui/commands module following the upstream rename.

* feat(cli): OpenTUI migration batch 4 — dialogs, commands, and session-rewind

Adds the dialog layer and command-routing infrastructure for the OpenTUI
renderer: 19 dialog modules (auth, extensions, MCP, memory-status, misc,
model family, modes, permissions, settings, stats/skills, help overlay,
arena host, folder-trust gate), the commands registry with slash-to-dialog
routing, the commands dispatcher (action interpreter connecting the slash
gateway to the session and dialog layer), and the session-rewind viewer
with its history-folding model.

Also exports `isUserTextContent` from historyMapping so the rewind model
can classify user turns without duplicating the predicate.

Everything is additive: no reachable ink code path is touched, the default
renderer stays ink, and the dep-direction gate passes. Stacked on the
live-session batch.

56 test files / 886 tests, all green.

* fix(cli): address R2 review findings in OpenTUI foundation modules

Round-2 review fixes (17 Critical + 10 Suggestion resolved in code):

- dialogs-shared: move number-select flush out of the setState updater
  (StrictMode double-fires onSelect); split setActiveIndex (ink
  SET_ACTIVE_INDEX, lands on any in-range row) from highlightIndex
  (arrow keys skip disabled rows) so wheel navigation never sticks
- event-adapter: chat_compressed notice mirrors ink formatCount ('~'
  prefix for estimated counts); vision_bridge_notice renders
  summary\nnotice; explicit projections for task_execution /
  findings_list / terminal_image keep multi-MB payloads off the
  transcript; retry-countdown-clear forwards isContinuation
- slash-dispatch: isSlashCommandInput drops the '?' branch (ink gate
  routes ? input to the model); executeSlashCommand races the action
  against the abort signal; dialog effects carry the
  OpenDialogActionReturn payload; projected added-item text surfaces
  alongside non-handled effects (notice); message-shaped items project
  to their text; ui.history comes from env; absent sessionStats stamp
  now, not epoch; telemetry parity (recordSkillInvocation /
  recordAutoSkillCommandUsage / makeSlashCommandEvent)
- item-projection: model stats render per-(model,source) sections with
  N/A for unpriced entries; Tool Calls line uses ASCII x like ink;
  redactProxy deduplicated via systemInfoFields export
- theme: palette/syntax colors resolve through color-utils toHex before
  parseColor (ink CSS names / *bright names no longer degrade to
  magenta); unresolvable values stay unset
- key-map: kitty 'kpenter' normalizes to 'return'; resolveCommands
  exposes ink's key fan-out (Ctrl+C fires QUIT + CLEAR_INPUT)
- a11y: hardWrap delegates to wrap-ansi (word-boundary parity with
  ink's screen-reader path); markdown reducer tracks fence length,
  keeps fence-like lines literal inside fences and inner backticks in
  multi-backtick spans; stripAnsi delegates to strip-ansi plus a
  private-parameter CSI pass (SGR mouse, DEC save/restore)
- clipboard: OSC 52 write gated on a TTY (stderr preferred), tests spy
  the stream instead of writing real sequences to the runner's terminal
- exit-guard: independent per-key arm windows like ink
- dialogs-theme: diff preview pane receives syntaxStyle/filetype

* fix(cli): harden kitty probe and screen-reader writer per maintainer review

- kitty-negotiation: KITTY_REPLY_RE requires at least one flag digit
  (\d+), so an echoed bare query \x1b[?u in PTY/CI environments no
  longer resolves true and locks the renderer into kitty mode on a
  terminal that never answers queries; the accumulation buffer keeps
  only a 256-byte tail (bounded memory, bounded rescan under byte
  floods); the settle-window drain is removed — an EventEmitter data
  listener cannot consume chunks from other listeners, so late replies
  flow to the renderer's input parser like any other terminal noise
- a11y-screen-reader: ScreenReaderOutputWriter sanitizes written
  content (stripAnsi + drop bare C0/C1 controls, keep newlines) so the
  plain-text-only contract is enforced at the writer instead of
  trusting every future caller — smuggled OSC 52 clipboard writes or
  title/cursor sequences cannot execute on the main screen

* test(cli): strengthen /branch awaits handleBranch assertion with a deferred race

The previous test asserted branchNames was populated after dispatch, but a
fire-and-forget void call passed because microtasks drained before the check.
Replace with a Promise.race that proves dispatch was still pending (blocked on
the closed gate) before the gate was resolved — a void call resolves dispatch
immediately, making the race return 'resolved' instead of the sentinel.

* fix(cli): correct stale 67→69 count in commands-registry docblocks; clarify gate test

Two docblock comments said "67 modules" but the table has 69 entries (verified
against BuiltinCommandLoader.ts). Fixed to 69.

The gated-commands test comment now explains that TypeScript enforces the
CommandGate type at compile time, so the runtime loop is unnecessary — the
literal name list is the intentional guard for a bogus gatedBy on an ungated
command.

* fix(cli): address dialogs-batch self-review findings in command registry

- /theme route results include 'message': themeCommand returns a
  MessageActionReturn under NO_COLOR, so the declared results were
  incomplete
- drop the unreachable 'branch' member from OpenTuiDialogRequest and
  make routeDialogToOpenTui throw on dialog-branch instead: /branch is
  a host action intercepted unconditionally by the dispatcher (ink
  parity), and a compile-time exclusion is not expressible because
  OpenDialogActionReturn is a single interface with a union dialog
  field — the loud throw guards against a future refactor dropping the
  interception; the branch route no longer advertises a dialogs entry
  no renderer opens
- derive gate coverage from the loader instead of a hardcoded name
  list: the coverage test loads with every gate ON (plus the
  checkpointing flag the /restore factory needs) and asserts set
  equality between route names and registered built-ins — no escape
  hatches — and a new test proves every gatedBy route is genuinely
  absent from a gates-off load, so a bogus gate on an always-registered
  command fails

* fix(cli): address ytahdn independent review findings in OpenTUI foundation

All 15 findings from the independent static review verified in source and
fixed (no false positives; none deferred):

- quit effect carries QuitActionReturn.messages projected to text on a
  notice field — ink renders them via QuittingDisplay and the payload was
  permanently lost (Important #1)
- error and finished branches emit retry-countdown-clear like ink's
  handleErrorEvent/handleFinishedEvent, so a terminal event inside the
  countdown window no longer leaves a stale retry row (#2)
- projectContextUsage renders the compaction-threshold ladder and the
  per-item detail sections (tools/memory/skills, ink's sort order) when
  showDetails is on — /context detail transcripts no longer show strictly
  less than the compact view (#3)
- projectMcpStatus honors showSchema (parameter JSON under each tool) and
  showTips, so /mcp schema is distinguishable from /mcp (#4)
- SlashDispatchEnv.settings is required: the real
  CommandContext.services.settings is non-null and a null surfaced as a
  generic command failure on first .merged read (#5)
- dead singleColumn flag removed from the help width layout (clamp makes
  it always false; ink has no single-column mode) (#6)
- truncated SS3 tail (bare ESC O) is stripped like the truncated CSI
  tail, so a captured half F1-F4 no longer leaks 'O' into the composer (#7)
- readBufferRow trims cellColumns alongside text, so URLs ending at
  end-of-row on a wide character hit-test on both halves of the cell (#8)
- kitty probe writes guarded: a synchronous stream throw settles the
  probe (restores raw mode, removes the listener) instead of leaking (#9)
- eraseLines reuses the ansi-escapes helper (already a repo dependency)
  instead of a byte-identical hand-rolled copy (#10)
- truncateText passthrough wrapper dropped; callers use the exported
  truncateHelpText directly (#11)
- SkillsList truncate keeps total length n like ink, so the description
  column no longer shifts by one cell when a name truncates (#12)
- model_fallback names pass through sanitizeDisplayText like ink (#13)
- selectIndex fires onHighlight before onSelect (ink dispatches
  SET_ACTIVE_INDEX then SELECT_CURRENT), keeping highlight-driven
  stay-open dialogs synced on mouse input (#14)
- mcp_app without fallbackText renders empty instead of JSON-dumping the
  embedded HTML; projectAbout hides Base URL when selectedAuthType is
  empty, matching ink's formatBaseUrl (#15)

* fix(cli): drop dead single-column branch in help overlay

The foundation batch removed the always-false singleColumn flag from
the help width layout (the 72-column clamp makes it unreachable and ink
has no single-column mode); the overlay's conditional branch on it no
longer compiles. Only the two-column path was ever taken.

* fix(cli): address R3 review findings in OpenTUI foundation modules

- executeSlashCommand catch checks the abort signal first: an ESC-
  cancelled command (action rejects AbortError) returns handled with no
  failure telemetry or error message, mirroring ink's processor — the
  race promise never resolves when the signal is already aborted at
  addEventListener time
- submit effect carries the full SubmitPromptActionReturn contract
  (modelOverride, onComplete, refreshContextFilesOnWrite) so the
  backend can honor /model <id> <prompt>, /dream's manual-run record,
  and /remember's context refresh like ink instead of silently
  degrading them
- closing fences cannot carry info text (CommonMark): a ```js line
  inside an open block is literal body, not an early close that drops
  the block and inverts parse state for the rest of the document
- info items append their linkUrl/linkText footer (ink's InfoMessage
  renders it; headless/SSH users need the printed URL, e.g. /bug)
- the screen-reader sanitize keeps TAB: it separates words in
  tool/model output and deleting it fused adjacent tokens

* fix(cli): address R4 review findings in OpenTUI foundation modules

- a11y-plain-text: split on all CommonMark line endings so CRLF
  markdown opens/closes fences correctly; private-param CSI regex
  covers ECMA-48 intermediate bytes; DCS/SOS/PM/APC and unterminated
  OSC sequences consumed before strip-ansi; code-span pattern mirrors
  ink's INLINE_CODE_SPAN_PATTERN (non-empty content, closing-run
  lookbehind)
- dialogs-shared: clearNumberBuffer called from setActiveIndex,
  selectIndex, and resyncKey block so wheel/hover/click/resync can't
  commit a stale numeric-flush selection the user never made
- event-adapter: tool_call_response carries visionBridgeNotice on the
  tool-result event (ink ToolMessage renders the egress disclosure)
- item-projection: projectContextUsage reads memoryFiles as { path,
  tokens } (ContextMemoryDetail), not { name, tokens }
- key-map: 10 kp* keypad-navigation aliases (kpleft→left, …) and
  super flag folded into meta (ink Cmd+Enter = newline, not submit)
- link-click: cellColumns no longer truncated to trimmed text length
  (preserves the wide-glyph right-half boundary); findUrlAtRow end
  boundary is width-aware (stringWidth of the last glyph)
- slash-dispatch: submit effect carries PartListUnion content + a
  textContent string for text-only consumers (image parts survive);
  toggleVimEnabled and startNewSession seams wired from env; abort
  race resolves immediately for an already-aborted signal
- clipboard: OSC 52 self-write removed — copyToClipboard's existing
  fallback (writeOsc52 / wrapForMultiplexer) is the single source
- a11y-screen-reader: appendStatic skips clean === '\n' (ink's
  hasStaticOutput guard)

* fix(cli): address #10383 R1 findings in foundation modules

- event-adapter: finished branch emits retry-countdown-clear BEFORE the
  info notice so the countdown row is actually cleared (the fold only
  pops when the last item is the retry row)
- item-projection: /mcp tips now include all 5 lines ink renders (added
  OAuth auth tip and Ctrl+T toggle tip)
- link-click: wide-glyph end boundary uses the last code point (not
  UTF-16 code unit) so non-BMP emoji are measured correctly by
  stringWidth
- a11y-plain-text: CSI_SEQUENCE replaces PRIVATE_PARAM_CSI — drops the
  marker requirement so any CSI (with or without private parameter
  marker, with or without intermediate bytes) is fully consumed

* fix(cli): address #10383 R1 findings in dialogs batch

- dialogs-mcp: flatServers derived from grouped render order, not raw
  prop order, so keyboard selection matches the highlighted server
- dialogs-misc: highlightScope syncs editor selection (setSel) so Enter
  persists the highlighted scope's own editor, not the previous one
- dialogs-settings: buildSettingsListItems forwards
  excludeWorkspaceRestricted under Workspace scope, matching ink's
  filter that prevents dead settings entries
- dialogs-extensions: all onDetailAction call sites now swallow async
  rejections (.catch), matching session-rewind.tsx's pattern
- dialogs-stats-skills: metrics read from per-session bucket
  (getMetricsForSession) not process-global; Wall Time computed from
  uiTelemetryService.getSessionStartTime() not a module-load constant
- dialogs-modes: MODE_DESC key 'auto_edit' fixed to 'auto-edit' to
  match ApprovalMode.AUTO_EDIT enum value

* fix(cli): address #10383 R2 Critical findings in slash-dispatch

- abort race: already-aborted signal now skips command.action entirely
  (result = undefined) instead of eagerly evaluating it as a Promise.race
  argument — the action's side effects (clear, persist, addItem) must not
  run on a cancelled submission
- parent command telemetry: logEvent (slash_command SUCCESS) is now
  called before the early return for parent commands with subCommands
  (help listing) and bare handled — matching ink's finally-block logging

* fix(cli): address #10383 R2 Critical findings in dialogs batch

- dialog-data: buildModelEntries image mode gates on
  isImageGenerationCapable (not imageOnly) so dual-role and visionOnly
  image-capable models appear in the image selector like ink
- dialogs-extensions: detailSelect gets resyncKey: view so the cursor
  re-syncs when re-entering detail (action list shrinks after
  checked-update state resets)
- dialogs-stats-skills: subscribes to uiTelemetryService 'update' event
  so stats stay live while the dialog is open (ink re-renders via
  SessionStatsProvider)

* fix(cli): address #10383 R3 review findings in opentui dialogs/dispatch

- buildModelEntries: keep visionOnly models in the image selector (ink
  ModelDialog parity: isVisionModelMode || isImageModelMode || !visionOnly)
- useDialogSelect: re-sync the cursor on items changes like ink's
  useSelectionList INITIALIZE reducer — follow the active item's key,
  fall back to the initial index when it is gone, so a shrinking list
  never strands the cursor where Enter reads undefined
- OpenTuiSlashDispatcher: skip the action entirely when the signal is
  already aborted before the race — a late 'abort' listener never fires,
  so the eager race would run side effects before discarding
- tests: pin the pre-aborted skip in both dispatchers, the dual-role
  image/vision fixture, the items-shrink clamp, and restore the
  uninstall-backout guard assertion

* fix(cli): address #10368 R2 review findings in live-session batch

- input-prompt: convert OpenTUI display-width cursor coordinates to
  code-point positions at the component boundary — the pinned
  @opentui/core reports logicalCursor.col/offset and el.cursorOffset in
  terminal-cell units (edit-buffer.zig), while the ported ink helpers
  work in code points; wide characters previously shifted placeholder
  backspace, the backslash continuation check, completion targeting,
  and history edge compares
- input-prompt: bump both search sequence refs when Esc dismisses the
  completion dropdown so an in-flight search resolving afterwards cannot
  re-open it and hijack Enter
- live-session-model: carry the vision-bridge egress disclosure through
  the tool-result fold (ink ToolMessage renders it under the result)
- messages: recognize the producers' two-L 'cancelled' summary spelling
  so canceled tools get the CANCELED glyph with strikethrough instead of
  the red ERROR glyph
- session-switch: wrap /resume and /branch in the telemetry swap
  transaction (begin before the outgoing-session capture, commit at the
  UI re-key, abort after a rolled-back swap) — restores the usage
  aggregate on failed swaps and rejects concurrent switches
- tests: display-width fake editor, wide-char placeholder/continuation
  witnesses, Esc invalidation, fold notice, cancelled spelling, and the
  three swap-transaction lifecycle cases

* fix(cli): declare cursorOffset on the FakeEditor test interface

The display-width fake added in 656e996c9a implements a cursorOffset
getter/setter but the interface it is cast through never declared the
member, so tsc --build fails with TS2339 at the two reads in the
wide-char placeholder test. Typecheck ran before that commit's files
were staged and missed it.

* fix(cli): address #10383 R4 review findings in dialogs batch

- commands-dispatch.test: type the pre-aborted action mock as
  SlashCommandActionReturn so tsc --build passes (the inferred
  { type: string } could not satisfy the literal 'message' kind)
- dialogs-shared.test: pin the resyncKey numeric-flush disarm — an
  armed digit quick-select must not commit a selection in the view
  swapped to before the flush timeout
- session-switch.test: pin the unarmed-swap settlement when the
  resumed session is not found (commit, never abort) so the single
  swap slot cannot stay latched forever

* test(cli): stub listStartingRunIds in the session-switch fake registry

The workflow-run registry gained listStartingRunIds with the workflow
tasks feature on main; backgroundWorkUtils iterates it when describing
blocking work, so the fake registry in session-switch.test.ts now
implements it (empty) to match the interface the merged code expects.

* fix(opentui): address P2 review findings in session-rewind and load_history

- session-rewind: add useRef re-entrancy guard to prevent double onRewind
  from batched key events in single stdin chunk
- session-rewind: dispatch restore-error on onRewind rejection so the
  dialog recovers from dead 'restoring' phase back to 'pick'
- commands-dispatch: pass Date.now()-based timestamps to addItem instead
  of array indices in load_history branch
