 **Never use `__dirname` directly** for resolving package assets. The `paths.ts` module handles the differences between execution modes automatically.
 
+### Debug Command
+
+The `/debug` command is a hidden development feature (not shown in autocomplete) that writes all currently rendered lines with their visible widths and ANSI escape sequences to `~/.pi/agent/pi-debug.log`. This is useful for debugging TUI rendering issues, especially when lines don't extend to the terminal edge or contain unexpected invisible characters.
+
+```
+/debug
+```
+
+The debug log includes:
+- Terminal width at time of capture
+- Total number of rendered lines
+- Each line with its index, visible width, and JSON-escaped content showing all ANSI codes
