Treat an absolute path.relative() result as a cross-volume path instead of incorrectly abbreviating it beneath the user's home directory.
Allow embeddings to project a logical footer cwd without changing the operational session cwd. The recorded-session harness now uses a POSIX-shaped display alias for both the footer and filesystem result paths, preserving the existing pre-normalization layout width on every host.
Keep runtime-provided labels behind terminal-control escaping, cover that boundary, and document the embedding contract.
Remove the animated, dark, and light terminal captures and their bilingual RFC section. The implemented RFC retains the durable front-door decision and verification contract without carrying binary demo artifacts that need visual maintenance.
Tighten the package README ownership wording and refresh the bilingual consistency record so no repository link or prose claim refers to the removed files.
Record the July 17 package split as an implemented bilingual feature RFC. The decision explains why TUI and stdio have separate terminal contracts, why concrete front-door selection belongs to composition, and how the TUI preserves existing session, tool-presentation, and lifecycle ownership.
Link the deterministic dark, light, and animated demos from the RFC so the assets have an in-repository owner. Cross-link the feature and testing decisions from the package README, then regenerate the RFC index and bilingual consistency record.
Master unifies every live agent with its exact SessionId and moves declarative startup failures to agent-loop/config-start-failed. Keeping the branch’s AgentId label binding would let the TUI target the wrong lifecycle after reload and would miss asynchronous resume failures.
Resolve that contract migration by giving the selected terminal front door the same generated or resumed SessionId as agent-core, mounting the front door first, and entering fullscreen only after the matching root appears. Refresh the source-derived catalogs and keyless terminal goldens so Code Mode, workflow, Cordis-tool, and transient UI scenarios all exercise the merged identity model.
formatCwd has distinct branches for the home directory itself, a descendant of home, an unset cwd, and a path outside home. The descendant branch was exercised only indirectly because the test harness defaulted to process.cwd(), so the per-file coverage gate changed with the checkout location and failed in detached worktrees under /private/tmp even though every behavior assertion passed.
Derive the home-root case from homedir() and add an explicit synthetic child with platform-aware path joins. Keep the unset and outside-home cases unchanged. The suite now drives every formatting branch regardless of where the repository is checked out, and the expected child form follows the host path separator on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
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.
The palette used absolute 256-color indices (`38;5;252`, `48;5;236`, …)
that terminals never remap to the active scheme: near-white body text
vanished on light backgrounds and fixed dark bubble fills put default
foreground text on dark blocks. Rebuild it from the standard 16-color
ANSI foregrounds plus SGR attributes, keep body text on the terminal
default foreground, replace filled background bubbles with foreground-only
left-gutter bars, and use reverse video for the active selection so every
grouping reads on any color scheme.
Move the interactive pi-tui front door into @deepseek-ai/dsh-tui while keeping @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio line-oriented for pipes. Select the terminal package in the demo app, preserve logger ownership, and cover the production Loader composition with a PTY smoke test.
