Fell back to requestComponentRender when Loader receives a lightweight TUI stub without requestDirectWrite.
Added regression coverage for legacy Loader stubs used by component tests.
Added a direct-write path for quiet visible component segments so Loader animation rewrites only its known rows instead of scheduling the full render pipeline.
Updated Loader scheduling and regression coverage for direct-write fast paths and overlay fallback behavior.
Fixes#5192
Throttled animated loader message-only repaints when synchronized output is unavailable so unsupported terminals only repaint on spinner frame changes.
Fixes#2771
- Added animated message-color gating so loader timers run at 30fps only when needed.
- Added no-op checks in loader and text updates to skip work for unchanged values.
- Optimized key matching by canonicalizing key IDs and precomputing alias sets.
- Added prepared-line caching and bounded terminal/width scans to reduce repaint overhead.
- Added ChatBlock and ChatBlockHost with mount, finish, and dispose lifecycle callbacks.
- Added InteractiveModeContext.present and resetTranscript APIs and used them to mount/repaint blocks.
- Reworked controller rendering paths to emit command, event, extension, and selector outputs via ctx.present.
- Implemented component and container dispose hooks in tui so loaders and child blocks cleanup timers/effects.
- Added `display.shimmer` setting (`classic`, `kitt`, `disabled`) with default `classic` and UI metadata.
- Added shimmer mode resolution with defaulting plus classic/KITT intensity tier profiles and thresholds.
- Added `getFgAnsi` handling across shimmer compilation and progress-bar themes, with fallback ANSI output defaults.
- Reworked shimmer rendering to coalesce same-tier segments, cache palettes by symbol, and map disabled mode to mid-tier.
- Tuned loader timing to a 16ms render interval and 80ms spinner stepping for smoother ~60fps updates.
- Fixed loader component text overflow by truncating lines exceeding terminal width using column-aware slicing.
- Improved terminal clear logic on resize to use hard clear (\x1b[2J) preventing stale wrapped cells.
- Added test coverage for loader component line clamping to verify rendered lines fit within terminal width.
- Refactored terminal clear conditional logic from ternary to multi-line if-else for improved maintainability.
- Removed WASM generation script; use Bun `wasm?raw` loader for imports.
- Added bunfig.toml with loaders for `.md`, `.py`, and `.wasm?raw` text imports.
- Added types/assets/index.d.ts for global TypeScript module declarations.
- Unified TypeScript configuration with tsgo-based checking across monorepo.
- Removed build and WASM steps from install and publish pipelines.
- converted relative imports to path aliases ($c/*, $ai/*, $tui/*, etc.) across all packages
- added per-package tsconfig.json with complete path mappings for runtime resolution
- set importModuleSpecifier to non-relative for IDE auto-import preferences
- updated dev script to run from monorepo root for consistent path resolution
- Added 30+ built-in color themes and comprehensive symbol customization via theme presets and overrides.
- Added status line segment editor with presets, separators, and customizable left/right segments.
- Added Biome CLI-based linter client as alternative to LSP for diagnostics and formatting.
- Added 20MB file size limit for image files to prevent memory issues during serialization.
- Replaced hardcoded Unicode symbols throughout codebase with theme-configurable symbol system.
- 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
- 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
