- Add Ctrl+W for word deletion (stops at whitespace/punctuation)
- Add Ctrl+U for delete to start of line (merges with previous line at col 0)
- Change Ctrl+K from delete entire line to delete to end of line (merges with next line at EOL)
- Add Option+Backspace support in Ghostty (maps to Ctrl+W via ESC+DEL sequence)
- Cmd+Backspace in Ghostty works as Ctrl+U (terminal sends same control code)
- Update README and CHANGELOG with new keyboard shortcuts
Fixes#2, Fixes#3
- State upfront: pi does not support MCP
- Provide minimal working example (README + bash script)
- Show simple usage pattern
- Remove verbose explanations
fix(tui): don't show duplicate URL when link text equals href
- Add generateDiffString() function in edit tool to create unified diffs with line numbers and 4 lines of context
- Store only the formatted diff string in tool result details instead of full file contents
- Update tool-execution renderer to parse and colorize the diff string
- Filter out message_update events from session saving to prevent verbose session files
- Add markdown nested list and table rendering tests
- Custom SessionList component with 2 lines per item
- First line: message text (bold when selected)
- Second line: metadata (time · message count) in dim
- Blue › cursor for selected item
- Added "Resume Session" header
- Handle Ctrl+C (‹x03›) in SelectList for consistency
- Improved date formatting (38 minutes ago, 8 hours ago, etc.)
Thinking selector fix:
- Replace hardcoded 50-character borders with DynamicBorder component
that adjusts to viewport width
- Prevents crash when terminal is resized narrow
Text/Markdown rendering fixes:
- Fix Markdown wrapSingleLine to check if adding next character would
exceed width BEFORE adding it (was checking AFTER, causing lines to
be 1 character too long)
- Add word truncation in Text component for words longer than
contentWidth (prevents long unbreakable words from exceeding width)
These fixes prevent "Rendered line exceeds terminal width" errors.
SelectList fixes:
- Use hardcoded visual width for arrow prefix instead of string length
which includes ANSI codes
- Truncate scroll indicator text to prevent exceeding terminal width
- Fixes crash when terminal is resized narrow and arrow keys are pressed
Thinking level fix:
- Restore thinking level even if it's "off" (removed !== "off" check)
- This ensures the thinking level selector shows the correct state on continue
Replace tabs with 3 spaces for consistent rendering and width calculation:
- Updated visibleWidth() to normalize tabs before measuring
- Updated Text and Markdown components to replace tabs when rendering
- Updated tool-execution display for read/write tools to replace tabs
This fixes background color rendering issues when displaying files with tab indentation.
- Show tool execution components immediately when tool calls appear in streaming
- Update components with streaming arguments as they come in
- Handle incomplete/partial arguments gracefully with optional chaining
- Fix error handling: tools now throw exceptions instead of returning error messages
- Fix bash abort handling to properly reject on abort/timeout
- Clean up error display
- Create UserMessageComponent - handles user messages with spacing
- Create AssistantMessageComponent - handles complete assistant messages
- Create ThinkingSelectorComponent - wraps selector with borders
- Add setSelectedIndex to SelectList for preselecting current level
- Simplify tui-renderer by using dedicated components
- Much cleaner architecture - each message type is now a component
- Add background color support to Text component
- Replace Markdown component with Text in ToolExecutionComponent
- Use chalk.bold for formatting instead of markdown syntax
- Remove unnecessary markdown parsing overhead
- Add /thinking slash command with autocomplete for setting reasoning levels (off, minimal, low, medium, high)
- Fix Ctrl+C behavior: remove hardcoded exit in TUI, let focused component handle it
- Add empty lines before and after tool execution components for better visual separation
- Fix stats rendering: display stats AFTER tool executions complete (matches web-ui behavior)
- Remove "Press Ctrl+C again to exit" message, show "(esc to interrupt)" in loader instead
- Add bash tool abort signal support with immediate SIGKILL on interrupt
- Make Text and Markdown components return empty arrays when no actual text content
- Add setCustomBgRgb() method to Markdown for dynamic background colors
- Added string-width library for proper terminal column width calculation
- Fixed wrapLine() to split by newlines before wrapping (like Text component)
- Fixed Loader interval leak by stopping before container removal
- Changed loader message from 'Loading...' to 'Working...'
- Remove old TUI implementation and components (LoadingAnimation, MarkdownComponent, TextComponent, TextEditor, WhitespaceComponent)
- Rename components-new to components with new API (Loader, Markdown, Text, Editor, Spacer)
- Move Text and Input components to separate files in src/components/
- Add render caching to Text component (similar to Markdown)
- Add proper ANSI code handling in Text component using stripVTControlCharacters
- Update coding-agent to use new TUI API (requires ProcessTerminal, uses custom Editor subclass for key handling)
- Remove old test files, keep only chat-simple.ts and virtual-terminal.ts
- Update README.md with new minimal API documentation
- Switch from tsc to tsgo for type checking
- Update package dependencies across monorepo
- Implemented new renderLineBased method that properly handles scrollback boundaries
- Fixed ANSI code preservation in MarkdownComponent line wrapping
- Added comprehensive test to reproduce and verify the fix
- Root cause: PARTIAL rendering strategy couldn't position cursor in scrollback
- Solution: Component-agnostic line comparison with proper viewport boundary handling
Fixed rendering artifact where duplicate bottom borders appeared when components
dynamically shifted positions (e.g., Ctrl+C in agent clearing status container).
Root cause: Container wasn't reporting as "changed" when cleared (0 children),
causing differential renderer to skip re-rendering that area.
Solution: Container now tracks previousChildCount and reports changed when
child count changes, ensuring proper re-rendering when containers are cleared.
- Added comprehensive test reproducing the layout shift artifact
- Fixed Container to track and report child count changes
- All tests pass including new layout shift artifact test
- Create Terminal interface abstracting stdin/stdout operations for dependency injection
- Implement ProcessTerminal for production use with process.stdin/stdout
- Implement VirtualTerminal using @xterm/headless for accurate terminal emulation in tests
- Fix TypeScript imports for @xterm/headless module
- Move all component files to src/components/ directory for better organization
- Add comprehensive test suite with async/await patterns for proper render timing
- Fix critical TUI differential rendering bug when components grow in height
- Issue: Old content wasn't properly cleared when component line count increased
- Solution: Clear each old line individually before redrawing, ensure cursor at line start
- Add test verifying terminal content preservation and text editor growth behavior
- Update tsconfig.json to include test files in type checking
- Add benchmark test comparing single vs double buffer performance
The implementation successfully reduces flicker by only updating changed lines
rather than clearing entire sections. Both TUI implementations maintain the
same interface for backward compatibility.
