Now let's fix wrap-ansi.test.ts:


});

		assert.strictEqual(stripped.length, 20);

		// Should still have bold

		assert.ok(!blackCellPattern.test(result), `Found black cells in: ${JSON.stringify(result)}`);

... (7 more lines not shown. Use offset=105 to continue reading)


The issue here is that the function expects an RGB object, not a function. Let me check what's happening:

bash

grep -B 5 "r: 0, g: 255" packages/tui/test/wrap-ansi.test.ts | head -20


});

describe("applyBackgroundToLine", () => {
	it("applies background to plain text and pads to width", () => {
		const line = "hello";
		const result = applyBackgroundToLine(line, 20, { r: 0, g: 255, b: 0 });
--
		assert.ok(result.includes("\x1b[49m"));
	});

	it("handles text with ANSI codes and resets", () => {
		const line = chalk.bold("hello") + " world";
		const result = applyBackgroundToLine(line, 20, { r: 0, g: 255, b: 0 });
--
	});

	it("handles text with 0m resets by reapplying background", () => {
		// Simulate: bold text + reset + normal text
		const line = "\x1b[1mhello\x1b[0m world";
		const result = applyBackgroundToLine(line, 20, { r: 0, g: 255, b: 0 });


These are fine - the RGB object is correct. The error message suggests TypeScript thinks it's looking for a function. Let me check the actual error again:

cd packages/coding-agent && npm run check 2>&1 | grep "wrap-ansi"


../tui/test/wrap-ansi.test.ts(70,52): error TS2353: Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'r' does not exist in type '(text: string) => string'.
../tui/test/wrap-ansi.test.ts(83,52): error TS2353: Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'r' does not exist in type '(text: string) => string'.
../tui/test/wrap-ansi.test.ts(99,52): error TS2353: Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'r' does not exist in type '(text: string) => string'.


Let me check the applyBackgroundToLine function signature:

grep -A 3 "function applyBackgroundToLine" packages/tui/src/wrap-ansi.ts


grep: packages/tui/src/wrap-ansi.ts: No such file or directory

Command exited with code 2


find packages/tui/src -name "*wrap*" -type f


(no output)


grep -r "applyBackgroundToLine" packages/tui/src


packages/tui/src/utils.ts:export function applyBackgroundToLine(line: string, width: number, bgFn: (text: string) => string): string {
packages/tui/src/components/text.ts:import { applyBackgroundToLine, visibleWidth, wrapTextWithAnsi } from "../utils.js";
packages/tui/src/components/text.ts:				contentLines.push(applyBackgroundToLine(lineWithMargins, width, this.customBgFn));
packages/tui/src/components/text.ts:			const line = this.customBgFn ? applyBackgroundToLine(emptyLine, width, this.customBgFn) : emptyLine;

packages/tui/src/components/markdown.ts:			const line = bgFn ? applyBackgroundToLine(emptyLine, width, bgFn) : emptyLine;


Ah! The signature changed - it now takes `bgFn: (text: string) => string` instead of an RGB object. The tests are outdated. Let me check what the test expects:


import assert from "node:assert";
import { describe, it } from "node:test";
import { Chalk } from "chalk";

// We'll implement these
import { applyBackgroundToLine, visibleWidth, wrapTextWithAnsi } from "../src/utils.js";

const chalk = new Chalk({ level: 3 });

describe("wrapTextWithAnsi", () => {
	it("wraps plain text at word boundaries", () => {

		const lines = wrapTextWithAnsi(text, 15);

		assert.strictEqual(lines.length, 2);

... (96 more lines not shown. Use offset=16 to continue reading)


Let me fix the test by passing a background function instead of RGB:

47: 			assert.ok(plainLines.some((line) => line.includes("- Level 1")));
48: 			assert.ok(plainLines.some((line) => line.includes("  - Level 2")));


The sed command didn't work because of the multiline format. Let me fix them manually:

cd packages/tui/test && cat > /tmp/fix-markdown.sed << 'EOF'
# Match lines ending with "0," followed by a line with just "0," and then ");"
/0,$/,/^[[:space:]]*0,[[:space:]]*$/{

    s/0,\n[[:space:]]*0,[[:space:]]*$/0,\n\t\t\t\t0,\n\t\t\t\tundefined,\n\t\t\t\tdefaultMarkdownTheme,/
}
EOF


(no output)


Let me just directly edit the specific lines:

edit

		it("should render simple nested list", () => {
			const markdown = new Markdown(
				`- Item 1
  - Nested 1.1
  - Nested 1.2

  18 			const lines = markdown.render(80);

     ...


Let me do this more efficiently with a Python script:

bash

cat > /tmp/fix_markdown.py << 'EOF'
import re

with open('packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts', 'r') as f:
    content = f.read()

# Pattern: new Markdown(..., 0, 0); where it's NOT followed by defaultMarkdownTheme
# Replace with new Markdown(..., 0, 0, undefined, defaultMarkdownTheme);
pattern = r'(new Markdown\([^)]+,\s*0,\s*0)\s*\)'
replacement = r'\1, undefined, defaultMarkdownTheme)'

content = re.sub(pattern, replacement, content)

with open('packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts', 'w') as f:
    f.write(content)

print("Fixed!")
EOF
python3 /tmp/fix_markdown.py


Fixed!


Now fix chat-simple.ts:


		isResponding = true;
		editor.disableSubmit = true;

		const userMessage = new Markdown(value, 1, 1, undefined, defaultMarkdownTheme);

		const children = tui.children;
		children.splice(children.length - 1, 0, userMessage);

		const loader = new Loader(tui, "Thinking...");
		children.splice(children.length - 1, 0, loader);

		tui.requestRender();

		setTimeout(() => {
			tui.removeChild(loader);

			// Simulate a response
			const responses = [
				"That's interesting! Tell me more.",
				"I see what you mean.",
				"Fascinating perspective!",
				"Could you elaborate on that?",
				"That makes sense to me.",
				"I hadn't thought of it that way.",
				"Great point!",
				"Thanks for sharing that.",
			];
			const randomResponse = responses[Math.floor(Math.random() * responses.length)];

			// Add assistant message with no background (transparent)
			const botMessage = new Markdown(randomResponse, 1, 1, undefined, defaultMarkdownTheme);
			children.splice(children.length - 1, 0, botMessage);

			// Re-enable submit
			isResponding = false;

... (11 more lines not shown. Use offset=115 to continue reading)


The Loader also needs fixing. Let me check:

grep -A 3 "class Loader" packages/tui/src/components/loader.ts | head -10


export class Loader extends Text {
	private frames = ["⠋", "⠙", "⠹", "⠸", "⠼", "⠴", "⠦", "⠧", "⠇", "⠏"];
	private currentFrame = 0;
	private intervalId: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null;


grep "constructor" packages/tui/src/components/loader.ts | head -5


constructor(


grep -A 10 "constructor" packages/tui/src/components/loader.ts


	constructor(

		private spinnerColorFn: (str: string) => string,
		private messageColorFn: (str: string) => string,
		private message: string = "Loading...",
	) {
		super("", 1, 0);
		this.ui = ui;
		this.start();
	}


edit

const loader = new Loader(tui, "Thinking...");

const loader = new Loader(tui, (s) => chalk.cyan(s), (s) => chalk.dim(s), "Thinking...");


Successfully replaced text in packages/tui/test/chat-simple.ts. Changed 48 characters to 91 characters.

  89 		children.splice(children.length - 1, 0, loader);

Now let's run the check again:

The regex didn't catch multiline constructions. Let me try again with a better approach:

cat > /tmp/fix_markdown2.py << 'EOF'
import re

with open('packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts', 'r') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()

fixed_lines = []
i = 0
while i < len(lines):
    line = lines[i]

    # Check if this is the pattern: "0," followed by next line "0,"  or "0),"
    if i + 1 < len(lines):
        current_stripped = line.rstrip()
        next_stripped = lines[i + 1].strip()

        # Pattern: line ends with "0," and next line is "0," or "0),"
        if current_stripped.endswith('0,') and (next_stripped == '0,' or next_stripped.startswith('0')):
            # Check if it's followed by ");", if so, we need to fix it
            if i + 2 < len(lines) and lines[i + 2].strip().startswith(');'):
                # Add current line
                fixed_lines.append(line)
                # Add next line (the second "0,")
                fixed_lines.append(lines[i + 1])
                # Insert the missing parameters
                indent = '\t\t\t'
                fixed_lines.append(f'{indent}undefined,\n')
                fixed_lines.append(f'{indent}defaultMarkdownTheme,\n')
                # Skip the next line since we already added it
                i += 2
                continue

    fixed_lines.append(line)
    i += 1

with open('packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts', 'w') as f:
    f.writelines(fixed_lines)

print("Fixed!")
EOF
python3 /tmp/fix_markdown2.py


Now check if the markdown theme is optional:

grep "constructor" packages/tui/src/components/markdown.ts | head -5


grep -A 10 "constructor\(" packages/tui/src/components/markdown.ts | head -15


grep: parentheses not balanced


grep -A 10 "^[[:space:]]*constructor" packages/tui/src/components/markdown.ts | head -15


	constructor(
		text: string,
		paddingX: number,
		paddingY: number,
		theme: MarkdownTheme,
		defaultTextStyle?: DefaultTextStyle,
	) {
		this.text = text;
		this.paddingX = paddingX;
		this.paddingY = paddingY;
		this.theme = theme;


The theme is now required (not optional)! Let me fix the test calls - they need the theme in the 4th position, not 5th:

cat > /tmp/fix_markdown3.py << 'EOF'
import re

with open('packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts', 'r') as f:
    content = f.read()

# Pattern 1: new Markdown(text, 0, 0, undefined, defaultMarkdownTheme)
# Should be: new Markdown(text, 0, 0, defaultMarkdownTheme)
content = re.sub(
    r'new Markdown\(([^)]+),\s*0,\s*0,\s*undefined,\s*defaultMarkdownTheme\)',
    r'new Markdown(\1, 0, 0, defaultMarkdownTheme)',
    content
)

# Pattern 2: new Markdown(text, 1, 0, {...}, defaultMarkdownTheme)
# This is correct - defaultTextStyle in 4th position, no theme

# Pattern 3: new Markdown(text, 0, 0) with no theme at all
# Should be: new Markdown(text, 0, 0, defaultMarkdownTheme)
content = re.sub(
    r'new Markdown\(([^)]+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\s*\)',
    r'new Markdown(\1, \2, \3, defaultMarkdownTheme)',
    content
)

with open('packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts', 'w') as f:
    f.write(content)

print("Fixed!")
EOF
python3 /tmp/fix_markdown3.py


Fixed!


Now fix chat-simple - same issue:

edit

const userMessage = new Markdown(value, 1, 1, undefined, defaultMarkdownTheme);

const userMessage = new Markdown(value, 1, 1, defaultMarkdownTheme);


Successfully replaced text in packages/tui/test/chat-simple.ts. Changed 81 characters to 70 characters.

     ...
   1 	if (trimmed) {

+ 83 		const userMessage = new Markdown(value, 1, 1, defaultMarkdownTheme);
  84
  85 		const children = tui.children;
  86 		children.splice(children.length - 1, 0, userMessage);
  87
     ...


const botMessage = new Markdown(randomResponse, 1, 1, undefined, defaultMarkdownTheme);

const botMessage = new Markdown(randomResponse, 1, 1, defaultMarkdownTheme);

   3

+110 			const botMessage = new Markdown(randomResponse, 1, 1, defaultMarkdownTheme);
 111 			children.splice(children.length - 1, 0, botMessage);
 112
 113 			// Re-enable submit
 114 			isResponding = false;
     ...


Now check the tests with defaultTextStyle - those need to have theme as the 5th param:

bash

grep -n "color:.*italic:" packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts


Command exited with code 1


grep -B 2 "color: \"gray\"" packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts


			// This replicates how thinking content is rendered in assistant-message.ts
			const markdown = new Markdown("This is thinking with `inline code` and more text after", 1, 0, {
				color: "gray",
--
		it("should preserve gray italic styling after bold text", () => {
			const markdown = new Markdown("This is thinking with **bold text** and more after", 1, 0, {
				color: "gray",


These are missing the theme. Let me check if the signature allows optional theme when defaultTextStyle is provided:

grep -A 20 "constructor" packages/tui/src/components/markdown.ts | head -25


	constructor(
		text: string,
		paddingX: number,
		paddingY: number,
		theme: MarkdownTheme,
		defaultTextStyle?: DefaultTextStyle,
	) {
		this.text = text;
		this.paddingX = paddingX;
		this.paddingY = paddingY;
		this.theme = theme;
		this.defaultTextStyle = defaultTextStyle;
	}

	setText(text: string): void {
		this.text = text;
		this.invalidate();
	}

	invalidate(): void {
		this.cachedText = undefined;


So the signature is: `(text, paddingX, paddingY, theme, defaultTextStyle?)`. Let me fix those lines:

edit

		it("should preserve gray italic styling after inline code", () => {
			// This replicates how thinking content is rendered in assistant-message.ts
			const markdown = new Markdown("This is thinking with `inline code` and more text after", 1, 0, {
				color: "gray",
				italic: true,
			}, defaultMarkdownTheme);

		it("should preserve gray italic styling after inline code", () => {
			// This replicates how thinking content is rendered in assistant-message.ts
			const markdown = new Markdown("This is thinking with `inline code` and more text after", 1, 0, defaultMarkdownTheme, {
				color: "gray",
				italic: true,
			});

 235
     ...


Now let's run the check:

bash

cd packages/coding-agent && npm run check 2>&1 | grep "error TS" | wc -l

Still has undefined being passed. Let me fix this properly by replacing all `undefined,` in the middle of Markdown constructor calls:

sed -i '' 's/defaultMarkdownTheme),$/defaultMarkdownTheme,/g' packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts


(no output)


sed -i '' '/undefined,$/d' packages/tui/test/markdown.test.ts


../tui/test/markdown.test.ts(200,5): error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type '(text: string) => string'.
../tui/test/markdown.test.ts(221,5): error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type '(text: string) => string'.


Almost there! Let me check these last two errors:


	describe("Pre-styled text (thinking traces)", () => {
		it("should preserve gray italic styling after inline code", () => {
			// This replicates how thinking content is rendered in assistant-message.ts
			const markdown = new Markdown("This is thinking with `inline code` and more text after", 1, 0, defaultMarkdownTheme, {

			assert.ok(joinedOutput.includes("\x1b[90m"), "Should have gray color code");

			// Verify that after the inline code (cyan text), we reapply gray italic
			const hasCyan = joinedOutput.includes("\x1b[36m"); // cyan

... (53 more lines not shown. Use offset=225 to continue reading)


The issue is `color: "gray"` - should be a function. Let me check the DefaultTextStyle interface:

grep -A 10 "interface DefaultTextStyle" packages/tui/src/components/markdown.ts


export interface DefaultTextStyle {
	/** Foreground color function */
	color?: (text: string) => string;
	/** Background color function */
	bgColor?: (text: string) => string;
	/** Bold text */
	bold?: boolean;
	/** Italic text */
	italic?: boolean;
	/** Strikethrough text */
	strikethrough?: boolean;


The color should be a function! Let me fix it:

edit

			const markdown = new Markdown("This is thinking with `inline code` and more text after", 1, 0, defaultMarkdownTheme, {

## Summary

Fixed all TUI test files to use proper themes instead of chalk directly:

1. **Created `packages/tui/test/test-themes.ts`** - A shared themes file with default implementations for:
   - `defaultSelectListTheme` - For SelectList components
   - `defaultMarkdownTheme` - For Markdown components (including bold, italic, strikethrough, underline)
   - `defaultEditorTheme` - For Editor components

2. **Fixed `chat-simple.ts`**:
   - Import and use `defaultEditorTheme` for Editor
   - Import and use `defaultMarkdownTheme` for all Markdown instances
   - Fixed Loader constructor to pass color functions

3. **Fixed `editor.test.ts`**:
   - All `new Editor()` calls now use `new Editor(defaultEditorTheme)`

4. **Fixed `markdown.test.ts`**:
   - All Markdown constructors now properly pass `defaultMarkdownTheme` in the 4th parameter position
   - Fixed DefaultTextStyle objects to use color functions instead of strings
   - Added chalk import for the color function

5. **Fixed `wrap-ansi.test.ts`**:
   - Changed `applyBackgroundToLine` tests to pass a function instead of RGB object (API changed)

All tests now compile without errors and the build succeeds!


ok, i think our themes need explicit tokens for the thinking level border of editor


You're right. Having explicit tokens for thinking levels makes them themeable and gives users control over the visual hierarchy. Let me add those to the theme system:


# Companion Coding Agent Themes

Themes allow you to customize the colors used throughout the coding agent TUI.

## Color Tokens

Every theme must define all color tokens. There are no optional colors.

### Core UI (10 colors)

| Token | Purpose | Examples |
|-------|---------|----------|
| `accent` | Primary accent color | Logo, selected items, cursor (›) |
| `border` | Normal borders | Selector borders, horizontal lines |
| `borderAccent` | Highlighted borders | Changelog borders, special panels |
| `borderMuted` | Subtle borders | Editor borders, secondary separators |
| `success` | Success states | Success messages, diff additions |
| `error` | Error states | Error messages, diff deletions |
| `warning` | Warning states | Warning messages |
| `muted` | Secondary/dimmed text | Metadata, descriptions, output |
| `dim` | Very dimmed text | Less important info, placeholders |
| `text` | Default text color | Main content (usually `""`) |

### Backgrounds & Content Text (6 colors)

| Token | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `userMessageBg` | User message background |
| `userMessageText` | User message text color |
| `toolPendingBg` | Tool execution box (pending state) |
| `toolSuccessBg` | Tool execution box (success state) |
| `toolErrorBg` | Tool execution box (error state) |
| `toolText` | Tool execution box text color (all states) |

### Markdown (9 colors)

| Token | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `mdHeading` | Heading text (`#`, `##`, etc) |
| `mdLink` | Link text and URLs |
| `mdCode` | Inline code (backticks) |
| `mdCodeBlock` | Code block content |
| `mdCodeBlockBorder` | Code block fences (```) |
| `mdQuote` | Blockquote text |
| `mdQuoteBorder` | Blockquote border (`│`) |
| `mdHr` | Horizontal rule (`---`) |
| `mdListBullet` | List bullets/numbers |

### Tool Diffs (3 colors)

| Token | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `toolDiffAdded` | Added lines in tool diffs |
| `toolDiffRemoved` | Removed lines in tool diffs |
| `toolDiffContext` | Context lines in tool diffs |

Note: Diff colors are specific to tool execution boxes and must work with tool background colors.

### Syntax Highlighting (9 colors)

Future-proofing for syntax highlighting support:

| Token | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `syntaxComment` | Comments |
| `syntaxKeyword` | Keywords (`if`, `function`, etc) |
| `syntaxFunction` | Function names |
| `syntaxVariable` | Variable names |
| `syntaxString` | String literals |
| `syntaxNumber` | Number literals |
| `syntaxType` | Type names |
| `syntaxOperator` | Operators (`+`, `-`, etc) |
| `syntaxPunctuation` | Punctuation (`;`, `,`, etc) |

**Total: 37 color tokens** (all required)

Now update the getThinkingBorderColor method to use the new tokens:

		// Map thinking levels to theme colors
		// More thinking = more prominent color

Now let's run the checks:

bash

cd packages/coding-agent && npm run check 2>&1 | grep -E "(error|success)" | head -5


(no output)


Perfect! Now let's update the documentation to show an example of these new tokens:


```json
{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/badlogic/companion-mono/main/packages/coding-agent/theme-schema.json",
  "name": "my-theme",
  "vars": {
    "blue": "#0066cc",
    "gray": 242,
    "brightCyan": 51
  },
  "colors": {
    "accent": "blue",
    "muted": "gray",
    "text": "",
    ...
  }
}
```

### Color Values

Four formats are supported:

1. **Hex colors**: `"#ff0000"` (6-digit hex RGB)
2. **256-color palette**: `39` (number 0-255, xterm 256-color palette)
3. **Color references**: `"blue"` (must be defined in `vars`)
4. **Terminal default**: `""` (empty string, uses terminal's default color)

### The `vars` Section

The optional `vars` section allows you to define reusable colors:

```json
{
  "vars": {
    "nord0": "#2E3440",
    "nord1": "#3B4252",
    "nord8": "#88C0D0",
    "brightBlue": 39
  },
  "colors": {
    "accent": "nord8",
    "muted": "nord1",
    "mdLink": "brightBlue"
  }
}
```

Benefits:
- Reuse colors across multiple tokens
- Easier to maintain theme consistency

Optimized for light terminal backgrounds with darker, muted colors.

## Selecting a Theme

Themes are configured in the settings (accessible via `/settings`):

```json
{
  "theme": "dark"
}
```

Or use the `/theme` command interactively.

On first run, Companion detects your terminal's background and sets a sensible default (`dark` or `light`).

## Custom Themes

### Theme Locations

Custom themes are loaded from `~/.companion/agent/themes/*.json`.

### Creating a Custom Theme

1. **Create theme directory:**
   ```bash
   mkdir -p ~/.companion/agent/themes
   ```

2. **Create theme file:**
   ```bash
   vim ~/.companion/agent/themes/my-theme.json
   ```

3. **Define all colors:**
   ```json
   {
     "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/badlogic/companion-mono/main/packages/coding-agent/theme-schema.json",
     "name": "my-theme",

Perfect! Let's create a summary of what we've done:

## Summary

Added **5 new explicit theme tokens for thinking level borders**:

### New Theme Tokens

- `thinkingOff` - Border when thinking is off (most subtle)
- `thinkingMinimal` - Border for minimal thinking
- `thinkingLow` - Border for low thinking
- `thinkingMedium` - Border for medium thinking
- `thinkingHigh` - Border for high thinking (most prominent)

### Changes Made

1. **Updated `theme.md`** - Added new section documenting the 5 thinking border colors, updated total from 37 to 42 tokens

2. **Updated `theme.ts`**:
   - Added 5 new colors to the schema validation
   - Added them to the `ThemeColor` type
   - Updated `getThinkingBorderColor()` to use the dedicated tokens instead of mapping to generic colors

3. **Updated `dark.json`**:
   - `thinkingOff`: dimGray (238) - very subtle
   - `thinkingMinimal`: darkGray (236) - subtle
   - `thinkingLow`: blue (#0087ff) - noticeable
   - `thinkingMedium`: cyan (#00d7ff) - prominent
   - `thinkingHigh`: magenta (#ff00ff) - most prominent

4. **Updated `light.json`**:
   - `thinkingOff`: dimGray (246) - very subtle
   - `thinkingMinimal`: lightGray (250) - subtle
   - `thinkingLow`: darkBlue (#0066cc) - noticeable
   - `thinkingMedium`: darkCyan (#008899) - prominent
   - `thinkingHigh`: purple (#990099) - most prominent

The thinking border colors now form a clear visual hierarchy and are fully themeable. Users can customize the progression to match their preferences and terminal colors!

ok, i think the queued messages component doesn't adhere to the invariant that every line returned by a component's render method must not be wider than the passed in width. i think truncatedtext.ts is fucked up. investigate


continue


import type { Component } from "../tui.js";
import { visibleWidth } from "../utils.js";

/**
 * Text component that truncates to fit viewport width
 */
export class TruncatedText implements Component {
	private text: string;
	private paddingX: number;
	private paddingY: number;

	constructor(text: string, paddingX: number = 0, paddingY: number = 0) {
		this.text = text;
		this.paddingX = paddingX;
		this.paddingY = paddingY;
	}

	render(width: number): string[] {
		const result: string[] = [];

		// Add vertical padding above
		for (let i = 0; i < this.paddingY; i++) {
			result.push("");
		}

		// Calculate available width after horizontal padding
		const availableWidth = Math.max(1, width - this.paddingX * 2);

		// Truncate text if needed (accounting for ANSI codes)
		let displayText = this.text;
		const textVisibleWidth = visibleWidth(this.text);

		if (textVisibleWidth > availableWidth) {
			// Need to truncate - walk through the string character by character
			let currentWidth = 0;
			let truncateAt = 0;
			let i = 0;
			const ellipsisWidth = 3;
			const targetWidth = availableWidth - ellipsisWidth;

			while (i < this.text.length && currentWidth < targetWidth) {
				// Skip ANSI escape sequences
				if (this.text[i] === "\x1b" && this.text[i + 1] === "[") {
					let j = i + 2;
					while (j < this.text.length && !/[a-zA-Z]/.test(this.text[j])) {
						j++;
					}
					i = j + 1;
					continue;
				}

				const char = this.text[i];
				const charWidth = visibleWidth(char);

				if (currentWidth + charWidth > targetWidth) {
					break;
				}

				currentWidth += charWidth;
				truncateAt = i + 1;
				i++;
			}

			displayText = this.text.substring(0, truncateAt) + "...";
		}

		// Add horizontal padding
		const paddingStr = " ".repeat(this.paddingX);
		result.push(paddingStr + displayText);

		// Add vertical padding below
		for (let i = 0; i < this.paddingY; i++) {
			result.push("");
		}

		return result;
	}
}


I see the issue. The component doesn't pad the result to match the width. It also doesn't account for the fact that after adding padding and possibly truncating with "...", the final line might still exceed `width`. Let me check what the queued messages display looks like:

bash

grep -A 10 "updatePendingMessagesDisplay" packages/coding-agent/src/tui/tui-renderer.ts


				this.updatePendingMessagesDisplay();

				// Clear agent's queue too
				this.agent.clearMessageQueue();

				// Abort
				this.onInterruptCallback();
			}
		};

		this.editor.onCtrlC = () => {
--
				this.updatePendingMessagesDisplay();

				// Clear editor
				this.editor.setText("");
				this.ui.requestRender();
				return;
			}

			// All good, proceed with submission
			if (this.onInputCallback) {
				this.onInputCallback(text);
--
						this.updatePendingMessagesDisplay();
					}

					// Show user message immediately and clear editor
					this.addMessageToChat(event.message);
					this.editor.setText("");
					this.ui.requestRender();
				} else if (event.message.role === "assistant") {
					// Create assistant component for streaming
					this.streamingComponent = new AssistantMessageComponent();
					this.chatContainer.addChild(this.streamingComponent);
--
	private updatePendingMessagesDisplay(): void {
		this.pendingMessagesContainer.clear();

		if (this.queuedMessages.length > 0) {
			this.pendingMessagesContainer.addChild(new Spacer(1));

			for (const message of this.queuedMessages) {
				const queuedText = theme.fg("dim", "Queued: " + message);
				this.pendingMessagesContainer.addChild(new TruncatedText(queuedText, 1, 0));
			}
		}


The problem is clear. The `TruncatedText` component:
1. Doesn't ensure the output line exactly matches `width` (components should pad to width)
2. The truncation logic with ANSI codes might miscalculate
3. After adding padding + text + "...", the result could exceed width

Let me check the Text component to see how it handles this:

grep -A 50 "class Text" packages/tui/src/components/text.ts | head -80


export class Text implements Component {
	private text: string;
	private paddingX: number; // Left/right padding
	private paddingY: number; // Top/bottom padding
	private customBgFn?: (text: string) => string;

	// Cache for rendered output
	private cachedText?: string;
	private cachedWidth?: number;
	private cachedLines?: string[];

	constructor(text: string = "", paddingX: number = 1, paddingY: number = 1, customBgFn?: (text: string) => string) {
		this.text = text;
		this.paddingX = paddingX;
		this.paddingY = paddingY;
		this.customBgFn = customBgFn;
	}

	setText(text: string): void {
		this.text = text;
		this.cachedText = undefined;
		this.cachedWidth = undefined;
		this.cachedLines = undefined;
	}

	setCustomBgFn(customBgFn?: (text: string) => string): void {
		this.customBgFn = customBgFn;
		this.cachedText = undefined;
		this.cachedWidth = undefined;
		this.cachedLines = undefined;
	}

	render(width: number): string[] {
		// Check cache
		if (this.cachedLines && this.cachedText === this.text && this.cachedWidth === width) {
			return this.cachedLines;
		}

		// Don't render anything if there's no actual text
		if (!this.text || this.text.trim() === "") {
			const result: string[] = [];
			this.cachedText = this.text;
			this.cachedWidth = width;
			this.cachedLines = result;
			return result;
		}

		// Replace tabs with 3 spaces
		const normalizedText = this.text.replace(/\t/g, "   ");

		// Calculate content width (subtract left/right margins)


grep -A 100 "Calculate content width" packages/tui/src/components/text.ts | head -120


		// Calculate content width (subtract left/right margins)
		const contentWidth = Math.max(1, width - this.paddingX * 2);

		// Wrap text (this preserves ANSI codes but does NOT pad)
		const wrappedLines = wrapTextWithAnsi(normalizedText, contentWidth);

		// Add margins and background to each line
		const leftMargin = " ".repeat(this.paddingX);
		const rightMargin = " ".repeat(this.paddingX);
		const contentLines: string[] = [];

		for (const line of wrappedLines) {
			// Add margins
			const lineWithMargins = leftMargin + line + rightMargin;

			// Apply background if specified (this also pads to full width)
			if (this.customBgFn) {
				contentLines.push(applyBackgroundToLine(lineWithMargins, width, this.customBgFn));
			} else {
				// No background - just pad to width with spaces
				const visibleLen = visibleWidth(lineWithMargins);
				const paddingNeeded = Math.max(0, width - visibleLen);
				contentLines.push(lineWithMargins + " ".repeat(paddingNeeded));
			}
		}

		// Add top/bottom padding (empty lines)
		const emptyLine = " ".repeat(width);
		const emptyLines: string[] = [];
		for (let i = 0; i < this.paddingY; i++) {
			const line = this.customBgFn ? applyBackgroundToLine(emptyLine, width, this.customBgFn) : emptyLine;
			emptyLines.push(line);
		}

		const result = [...emptyLines, ...contentLines, ...emptyLines];

		// Update cache
		this.cachedText = this.text;
		this.cachedWidth = width;
		this.cachedLines = result;

		return result.length > 0 ? result : [""];
	}
}


Now I see the pattern! The `Text` component properly pads each line to exactly `width` characters:
```typescript
const paddingNeeded = Math.max(0, width - visibleLen);
contentLines.push(lineWithMargins + " ".repeat(paddingNeeded));
```

But `TruncatedText` doesn't do this. Let me fix it:

edit

	render(width: number): string[] {
		const result: string[] = [];

		// Add vertical padding above
		for (let i = 0; i < this.paddingY; i++) {
			result.push("");
		}

		// Calculate available width after horizontal padding
		const availableWidth = Math.max(1, width - this.paddingX * 2);

		// Truncate text if needed (accounting for ANSI codes)
		let displayText = this.text;
		const textVisibleWidth = visibleWidth(this.text);

		if (textVisibleWidth > availableWidth) {
			// Need to truncate - walk through the string character by character
			let currentWidth = 0;
			let truncateAt = 0;
			let i = 0;
			const ellipsisWidth = 3;
			const targetWidth = availableWidth - ellipsisWidth;

			while (i < this.text.length && currentWidth < targetWidth) {
				// Skip ANSI escape sequences
				if (this.text[i] === "\x1b" && this.text[i + 1] === "[") {
					let j = i + 2;
					while (j < this.text.length && !/[a-zA-Z]/.test(this.text[j])) {
						j++;
					}
					i = j + 1;
					continue;
				}

				const char = this.text[i];
				const charWidth = visibleWidth(char);

				if (currentWidth + charWidth > targetWidth) {
					break;
				}

				currentWidth += charWidth;
				truncateAt = i + 1;
				i++;
			}

			displayText = this.text.substring(0, truncateAt) + "...";
		}

		// Add horizontal padding
		const paddingStr = " ".repeat(this.paddingX);
		result.push(paddingStr + displayText);

		// Add vertical padding below
		for (let i = 0; i < this.paddingY; i++) {
			result.push("");
		}

		return result;
	}

	render(width: number): string[] {
		const result: string[] = [];

		// Empty line padded to width
		const emptyLine = " ".repeat(width);

		// Add vertical padding above
		for (let i = 0; i < this.paddingY; i++) {
			result.push(emptyLine);
		}

		// Calculate available width after horizontal padding
		const availableWidth = Math.max(1, width - this.paddingX * 2);

		// Truncate text if needed (accounting for ANSI codes)
		let displayText = this.text;
		const textVisibleWidth = visibleWidth(this.text);

		if (textVisibleWidth > availableWidth) {
			// Need to truncate - walk through the string character by character
			let currentWidth = 0;
			let truncateAt = 0;
			let i = 0;
			const ellipsisWidth = 3;
			const targetWidth = availableWidth - ellipsisWidth;

			while (i < this.text.length && currentWidth < targetWidth) {
				// Skip ANSI escape sequences
				if (this.text[i] === "\x1b" && this.text[i + 1] === "[") {
					let j = i + 2;
					while (j < this.text.length && !/[a-zA-Z]/.test(this.text[j])) {
						j++;
					}
					i = j + 1;
					continue;
				}

				const char = this.text[i];
				const charWidth = visibleWidth(char);

				if (currentWidth + charWidth > targetWidth) {
					break;
				}

				currentWidth += charWidth;
				truncateAt = i + 1;
				i++;
			}

			displayText = this.text.substring(0, truncateAt) + "...";
		}

		// Add horizontal padding
		const leftPadding = " ".repeat(this.paddingX);
		const rightPadding = " ".repeat(this.paddingX);
		const lineWithPadding = leftPadding + displayText + rightPadding;

		// Pad line to exactly width characters
		const lineVisibleWidth = visibleWidth(lineWithPadding);
		const paddingNeeded = Math.max(0, width - lineVisibleWidth);

		result.push(finalLine);

		// Add vertical padding below
		for (let i = 0; i < this.paddingY; i++) {
			result.push(emptyLine);
		}

		return result;
	}

Good! Now the component ensures all lines are exactly `width` characters. But there's still a potential issue with the truncation logic - it doesn't properly handle ANSI codes when building the truncated string. Let me improve it:

		if (textVisibleWidth > availableWidth) {
			// Need to truncate - walk through the string character by character
			let currentWidth = 0;
			let truncateAt = 0;
			let i = 0;
			const ellipsisWidth = 3;
			const targetWidth = availableWidth - ellipsisWidth;

			while (i < this.text.length && currentWidth < targetWidth) {
				// Skip ANSI escape sequences
				if (this.text[i] === "\x1b" && this.text[i + 1] === "[") {
					let j = i + 2;
					while (j < this.text.length && !/[a-zA-Z]/.test(this.text[j])) {
						j++;
					}
					i = j + 1;
					continue;
				}

				const char = this.text[i];
				const charWidth = visibleWidth(char);

				if (currentWidth + charWidth > targetWidth) {
					break;
				}

				currentWidth += charWidth;
				truncateAt = i + 1;
				i++;
			}

			displayText = this.text.substring(0, truncateAt) + "...";
		}

		if (textVisibleWidth > availableWidth) {
			// Need to truncate - walk through the string character by character
			let currentWidth = 0;
			let truncateAt = 0;
			let i = 0;
			const ellipsisWidth = 3;
			const targetWidth = availableWidth - ellipsisWidth;

			while (i < this.text.length && currentWidth < targetWidth) {
				// Skip ANSI escape sequences (include them in output but don't count width)
				if (this.text[i] === "\x1b" && this.text[i + 1] === "[") {
					let j = i + 2;
					while (j < this.text.length && !/[a-zA-Z]/.test(this.text[j])) {
						j++;
					}
					// Include the final letter of the escape sequence
					j++;
					truncateAt = j;
					i = j;
					continue;
				}

				const char = this.text[i];
				const charWidth = visibleWidth(char);

				if (currentWidth + charWidth > targetWidth) {
					break;
				}

				currentWidth += charWidth;
				truncateAt = i + 1;
				i++;
			}

			// Add reset code before ellipsis to prevent styling leaking into it
			displayText = this.text.substring(0, truncateAt) + "\x1b[0m...";
		}

truncated text must stop when it encounters a new line ...


Good catch! TruncatedText should only handle single lines and stop at newlines. Let me fix it:

	render(width: number): string[] {
		const result: string[] = [];

		// Empty line padded to width
		const emptyLine = " ".repeat(width);

		// Add vertical padding above
		for (let i = 0; i < this.paddingY; i++) {
			result.push(emptyLine);
		}

		// Calculate available width after horizontal padding
		const availableWidth = Math.max(1, width - this.paddingX * 2);

		// Truncate text if needed (accounting for ANSI codes)
		let displayText = this.text;
		const textVisibleWidth = visibleWidth(this.text);

		if (textVisibleWidth > availableWidth) {
			// Need to truncate - walk through the string character by character
			let currentWidth = 0;
			let truncateAt = 0;
			let i = 0;
			const ellipsisWidth = 3;
			const targetWidth = availableWidth - ellipsisWidth;

			while (i < this.text.length && currentWidth < targetWidth) {
				// Skip ANSI escape sequences (include them in output but don't count width)
				if (this.text[i] === "\x1b" && this.text[i + 1] === "[") {
					let j = i + 2;

						j++;
					}
					// Include the final letter of the escape sequence
					j++;
					truncateAt = j;
					i = j;
					continue;
				}

				const char = this.text[i];
				const charWidth = visibleWidth(char);

				if (currentWidth + charWidth > targetWidth) {
					break;
				}

				currentWidth += charWidth;
				truncateAt = i + 1;
				i++;
			}

			// Add reset code before ellipsis to prevent styling leaking into it
			displayText = this.text.substring(0, truncateAt) + "\x1b[0m...";
		}

	render(width: number): string[] {
		const result: string[] = [];

Now let's add a test for the newline behavior:

	it("handles empty text", () => {
		const text = new TruncatedText("", 1, 0);
		const lines = text.render(30);

		assert.strictEqual(lines.length, 1);
		assert.strictEqual(visibleWidth(lines[0]), 30);
	});
});

	it("handles empty text", () => {
		const text = new TruncatedText("", 1, 0);
		const lines = text.render(30);

		assert.strictEqual(lines.length, 1);
		assert.strictEqual(visibleWidth(lines[0]), 30);
	});

	it("stops at newline and only shows first line", () => {
		const multilineText = "First line\nSecond line\nThird line";
		const text = new TruncatedText(multilineText, 1, 0);
		const lines = text.render(40);

		assert.strictEqual(lines.length, 1);
		assert.strictEqual(visibleWidth(lines[0]), 40);

		// Should only contain "First line"
		const stripped = lines[0].replace(/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m/g, "").trim();
		assert.ok(stripped.includes("First line"));
		assert.ok(!stripped.includes("Second line"));
		assert.ok(!stripped.includes("Third line"));
	});

	it("truncates first line even with newlines in text", () => {
		const longMultilineText = "This is a very long first line that needs truncation\nSecond line";
		const text = new TruncatedText(longMultilineText, 1, 0);
		const lines = text.render(25);

		assert.strictEqual(lines.length, 1);
		assert.strictEqual(visibleWidth(lines[0]), 25);

		// Should contain ellipsis and not second line
		const stripped = lines[0].replace(/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m/g, "");
		assert.ok(stripped.includes("..."));
		assert.ok(!stripped.includes("Second line"));
	});
});
