- Replaced ad-hoc ANSI/VT stripping regexes with `stripVTControlCharacters` in status text handling and related tests.
- Updated status footer rendering to truncate using `truncateToWidth` and visible width after VT stripping.
- Extended tui cursor handling and rendering to strip markers from all lines and fit repaint/append-tail lines to width.
- Expanded deterministic render tests with overlay-aware assertions and recorded the truncation/cursor-marker behavior in changelogs.
The 30 second default for 'ask.timeout' silently auto-selects the
recommended option mid-deliberation, which surprises users who are
weighing options the agent flagged as having materially different
tradeoffs. The setting was meant to be opt-in: 0 already means
'wait indefinitely' and plan mode already forces the timer off.
Flip the default to 0 so a fresh install matches the documented
'wait until the user replies' behavior, and update the AskTool
prompt so the model expects unlimited reply time by default. Users
who liked the auto-select can still set a positive timeout from
the Interaction settings tab.
Add a regression test asserting the dialog timeout is not passed
to the underlying selector when 'ask.timeout' is unset.
- Replaced timeout-based cancellation with AbortSignal-based cancellation in ask tool for unified abort handling.
- Added signal parameter to UIContext select() and input() methods to support external cancellation propagation.
- Fixed race condition in dialog overlay handling by replacing direct resolve() calls with settled flag wrapper.
- Added comprehensive test coverage for ask tool cancellation behavior across user-initiated and timeout scenarios.
