This branch intentionally appends plugin-sourced context (plan-mode
notices, the skill catalog) after the prompt, so the request's last message
is no longer the user's text. The scripted adapter keyed every scenario off
messages.at(-1) only, missed its triggers, and fell through to the
ask_user_question default — the frozen 'Waiting for the first token' PTY
timeouts. It now scans all text since the last assistant message.
Master's log-backed session-title capability already titles sessions durably
(deterministic fallback in the spine, optional model providers). Remove the
TUI's own autoTitle generation — the latch, prompt, cap, and llm stream call —
and keep the terminal rename: the TUI folds the logged title on mount and sets
'<session title> — <configured title>' on every accepted session/title event.
The tui-agent example and the scripted PTY fixture mount
session-title-first-message-llm so titles stay model-made; the scripted
adapter's tool-less branch now answers that provider's auxiliary request.

The built-bin fail-loud test needs the TTY refusal before Loader boot (a
compose-time throw is logged per-entry, not rethrown); the PTY driver drops
COLORTERM so a developer's truecolor shell cannot flip the banner to the
gradient path mid-assertion; the scripted fixture persists raw JSONL so the
smoke's system-prompt inspection can read the log.
Delete packages/ui/stdio and examples/repl-agent; rename stdio-demo to
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo (TUI-only, refuses pipes before Loader boot).
tui-agent owns the coding composition inline; echo-agent and the CI demo
smoke move to the one-shot cli-demo bin, which gains -p/--prompt. The
UI-independent with-key e2es move verbatim to tui-agent. SDK wizard's
'stdio' interface becomes 'tui'. PTY testing stays confined to TUI
surfaces; all other subprocess tests ride pipes.

Model responses, replayed session data, tool presenter output, question metadata, configuration, and diagnostics all cross into ANSI-aware pi-tui renderers. Passing their C0 or C1 controls through unchanged lets an otherwise ordinary transcript emit OSC, CSI, cursor, or title operations in the user terminal.
Introduce one displayText boundary that preserves line-feed layout but renders every other C0/C1 control as visible \\xNN text before application styling is applied. Route transcript blocks, streaming output, tool cards, diffs, plans, dialogs, headers, cwd/title data, notices, errors, and pre-mount startup failures through that boundary while leaving pi-tui and the theme responsible for legitimate terminal control sequences.
Pin the contract at three levels: a settled headless-terminal golden spans the main untrusted display sources, unit coverage checks the pre-fullscreen failure path, and the real Loader/PTY conversation streams hostile OSC, cursor, and C1 probes and proves only their inert textual forms reach the terminal stream.
