Turtle 1119c537d0 feat(ui): add dedicated TUI package
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.

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-user-interaction
Abstract user-interaction seam. It owns `ctx.userInteraction`, the service a model-facing tool or permission plugin uses when it needs to pause work and ask the human for a decision.
## Service: `UserInteractionService` (ctx key: `userInteraction`)
### Public API
- `ctx.userInteraction.registerProvider(provider): () => void` Register the UI-side provider. Only one provider may be active in a context; disposal unregisters it.
- `ctx.userInteraction.ask(request): Promise<AskUserQuestionAnswer>` Ask the active provider and wait for the answer.
### Key Types
- `AskUserQuestionRequest``{ questions: [{ id, question, header?, options?, multiSelect? }], agent?, signal? }`.
- `AskUserQuestionOption``{ label, description? }`.
- `AskUserQuestionAnswer``{ answers: [{ id, selected, custom? }] }`.
- `UserInteractionProvider` — UI implementation with `ask(request)`.
- `UserInteractionError``HarnessError` subclass with codes such as `EMPTY_QUESTIONS`, `NO_PROVIDER`, `DUPLICATE_PROVIDER`, and `ASK_ABORTED`.
When an answer includes `custom`, `selected` is empty; custom text is an override rather than a supplement to selected choices.
## Role
This is the interface package. Model-facing consumers such as `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user` depend on this seam; UI front doors such as the interactive `dsh-tui`, line-oriented `dsh-stdio`, and structured `dsh-acp` channels provide the provider. The loop stays unchanged: a tool call awaits a promise, and the tool result resumes the normal agent loop.
## Model Experience
Indirectly, through `dsh-tool-ask-user`, which retains a successful provider answer as compact JSON or one of these failures: `Error: ask_user_question was aborted before the user answered`, `Error: ask_user_question requires at least one question`, `Error: no user-interaction provider is registered`, or `Error: <message>`. Waiting for the human adds no tokens.
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- **One provider per context** — there is no routing or fan-out to multiple UIs; a second registration throws `DUPLICATE_PROVIDER`, and with none registered `ask()` throws `NO_PROVIDER` rather than degrading.
- **The vocabulary is the question-form shape only** — selectable options plus optional custom text; richer interaction shapes (file pickers, diff-preview confirmations) have no seam vocabulary yet.
