Add selection and copying to the transcript viewer (#46732) ## What changed - Add mouse selection, word and line selection, drag autoscrolling, and keyboard selection with `Ctrl+Space`. Support copying selected text and opening links with a modified click. - Anchor reading positions and selections to source text so resizing, streaming completion, and history pagination preserve the displayed content. Preserve hard line breaks, indentation, tabs, and graphemes when copying, while excluding display gutters and soft wraps. - Rejoin activity groups split across history pages while retaining the reader's displayed revision. - Distinguish confirmed clipboard writes from unconfirmed terminal requests, and retain native clipboard ownership after the transcript overlay closes. - Manage mouse capture and keyboard modes across overlay transitions, editor handoffs, and suspend/resume. ## Testing Add regression tests for selection during live updates and pagination, source-text copying across resize, clipboard confirmation and lifetime, and terminal mode restoration.

Add transcript search and per-activity detail controls (#46734) ## What changed - Add incremental, case-insensitive literal search across transcript details, loading older history as needed. Use `F3` to start Find, or `/` in the transcript pager, and navigate matches in either direction. Closing Find restores the previous presentation and reading position. - Add clickable activity detail controls and `F4` keyboard focus for inspecting individual activity groups in the owned transcript. Preserve expansion state as live activity becomes history. - Expose configurable `global.find_transcript`, `global.focus_activity`, and `pager.find` bindings under `tui.keymap`. Let new defaults yield to existing custom bindings and show available completions for pending chords. ## Testing Add regression coverage for Unicode matching, bounded scanning, paginated and changing history, selection during search, composer input isolation, activity controls, and custom shortcut conflicts.

Improve TUI contrast, keyboard hints, and picker layouts (#46680) ## Why Theme colors and dimmed text can lose contrast against terminal and shaded backgrounds. Pickers also need to keep controls and the selected result visible when space is limited. ## What changed - Add shared blue accents and contrast-aware foregrounds that account for painted backgrounds and terminal color depth, with terminal-default fallbacks for limited palettes. - Apply readable colors to footer text, status lines, prompt attachment labels, and diff content. Remove dimming from syntax-highlighted diff text so it does not undo contrast correction. - Use compact shortcut labels such as `ctrl+c`, emphasize complete key combinations, and separate composer footer actions with ` · `. - Add an opt-in picker presentation with full-width selection, filled tabs, separate overflow indicators, and navigation based on visible rows. Enable it for `/keymap`, reserving result space to keep controls stable across filtering and tab changes. ## Testing Add regression tests and snapshots for contrast after palette conversion, shaded diff backgrounds, shortcut typography, picker resizing and pagination, Unicode tab truncation, and stable `/keymap` geometry.

Stabilize transcript and composer interactions in the TUI (#46749) ## Why Composer suggestions and transient hints should preserve the draft and transcript context. Submitting a local command while reading older history should reveal its output. ## What changed - Separate persistent status from transient footer hints in the owned transcript, sharing layout calculations for rendering, measurement, and cursor placement. - Overlay command and mention suggestions on history without moving the composer; hide retained suggestions while transcript interactions own input. - Show responsive, grouped shortcut help above the composer and let `Esc` dismiss it before interrupting a task or navigating history. - Resume transcript following for submissions, slash commands, and last-response copy results while preserving the reading position during background updates. - Reset transcript interaction state after prompt reverts and refresh retained usage information without rewriting terminal history. ## Testing Add regression tests and snapshots for popup placement, clipped layouts, footer focus, shortcut dismissal, local-command scrolling, prompt reverts, and pagination while browsing prompts.

Add compact activity rendering and preserve transcript source text (#46709) ## What changed - Add compact renderers for commands, MCP calls, computer activity, patches, and plans, with bounded previews and retained transcript details. - Preserve logical source text, styles, and hyperlink metadata across wrapping so transcript copying can exclude display gutters while retaining meaningful labels. Wrap diff text at grapheme boundaries. - Add activity identities, ordered detail retention, and deduplicated warning metadata to history cells. - Hide background terminal interaction notices from chat while retaining them in the transcript, and keep local image-only user messages visible without duplicating image placeholders. ## Testing Add regression and snapshot coverage for compact previews, retained patch diagnostics, wrapped source text and hyperlinks, question-and-answer labels, and local image placeholders.

Standardize TUI picker presentation and fix wrapping boundaries (#46691) ## Why Menu layouts and hints vary across TUI flows, and mismatched measurement and rendering widths can clip subsequent choices when descriptions wrap. ## What changed - Apply shared picker styling across selection menus, with stable columns, descriptions hidden when space is tight, and compact hints derived from configured key bindings. - Measure rows at their actual rendering width, including caller insets, so wrapped options receive enough space. - Wrap model menu headers and shortcut capture content, and use the shared panel surface for shortcut capture. - Indicate clipped headers in non-searchable menus and show the configured `view all` shortcut only when the view supplies one. ## Testing Add regression tests and snapshots for wrapping boundaries, narrow picker layouts, configured selection and cancellation keys, and clipped approval headers. Verify that copy/export actions retain complete payloads and composer drafts. GitOrigin-RevId: 8416bcd3c66b6cd15db3f9c1804f5f005b7964c1

Add compact transcript browsing and prompt navigation to the TUI (#46739) ## What changed - Make double `Esc` enter compact prompt browsing in the owned transcript view and inline overlay. Use left/right arrows to select prompts, up/down arrows to scroll, `Ctrl+T` to toggle details, and `Enter` to rewind and edit. `Esc` cancels browsing and restores the original reading position and presentation. - Add a responsive browsing footer, a pinned prompt header for answer context, and contextual composer tips that respect `show_tooltips` and configured shortcuts. - Load older history as prompt navigation needs it, preserve the selected prompt across pagination, and resolve rewind requests by cell identity. Reject remote prompt restoration when it contains local image paths or command syntax. - Bound initial owned-transcript history loading to a budget of three screenfuls plus an item scan limit, independently of terminal scrollback settings. ## Testing Add regression tests and snapshots for browsing, rewind, cancellation after resize and pagination, custom key bindings, search and selection precedence, offline input, prompt headers, composer tips, and history hydration.

Integrate the interactive transcript into the alternate-screen TUI (#46733) ## What changed - Render transcript history and live output above the composer when `features.transcript_v2` is enabled and alternate-screen rendering is available. Handle scrolling, selection, copying, links, and older-history pagination in the main view. - Add a clickable return-to-latest control with new-activity hints and temporary clipboard status. Let plain Enter return to latest when the composer is empty. - Reflow retained transcript content during drawing and preserve the launch-selected screen mode across configuration reloads and session transitions, including `--no-alt-screen` restrictions. - Enter the alternate screen with its first synchronized frame, and box CLI startup futures to reduce stack usage during session transitions. ## Testing Add regression coverage for transcript layout, input routing, follow controls, clipboard status, and screen-mode persistence. Add a PTY test for the first alternate-screen frame and clean exit, and extend session-transition coverage through the CLI dispatcher. GitOrigin-RevId: 1daf077826c7744b0f57399d10d159923dc87a97

Unify TUI picker styling and improve compact session layouts (#46697) ## What changed - Remove the legacy selection-list appearance and use shared full-width selection, filled tabs, wrapped hints, and separate overflow rows throughout. - Give resume and fork pickers separate toolbar and search rows. Collapse spacing on short screens, keep the focused toolbar control visible on narrow screens, and prioritize labeled primary actions in the footer. - Apply shared selection styling and contrast-aware text colors to session rows and metadata. Clear inherited selection colors and reversal from the transcript loading overlay. - Preserve clipped-header notices alongside results in small approval dialogs. ## Testing Add rendering assertions and snapshots for session selection contrast, reversed selection, loading overlay styles, compact metadata and action labels, and keyboard-focused toolbar visibility. Extend approval clipping snapshots to shorter terminal heights. GitOrigin-RevId: 6e34b14f5528baf33e97ff6cf746107a1bbe69ab

Separate TUI preferences from server configuration (#42202) ## Why TUI preferences and persistence paths belong to the local client, while thread configuration and account requirements may come from the active app server. Keeping both in the same resolved `Config` can replace live local preferences when a thread is resumed, forked, reconnected, or switched. ## What changed - Add `LocalSettings` as the TUI-owned source for UI, history, notice, and local persistence settings, and preserve it across session lifecycle transitions. - Write preference changes to the selected user config file and reload local settings from disk when changing roots. - Use the app server's account response for authentication-dependent onboarding and status UI instead of the local model-provider configuration. - Retain platform family and OS metadata reported by remote app servers. ## Testing - Cover local setting defaults, overrides, persistence destinations, reloads, and preservation across widget replacement and root switching. - Cover remote platform metadata and server-controlled authentication UI.
