- Capped live transcript IRC cards at four and evicted oldest cards when over limit.
- Reworked IRC card expiry handling to retire cards via timers only while live.
- Added rewrite-floor tracking so rewritten rows are not repeatedly promoted to scrollback.
- Handled frame shrink by re-anchoring windowTop and chunkTo at commit boundaries.
- Reset committedRows when the frame shrank into committed content to keep history immutable.
- Treated geometryChanged like overlay when advancing chunkTo to stabilize repaint commit timing.
- Updated regressions to assert stable scrollback prefixes and no clear-home/dclear repaint bytes.
- Centralized transcript spacing by stripping blank edges and inserting separators.
- Removed per-component leading spacers and empty placeholders that added extra gaps.
- Introduced TranscriptBlock grouping so related outputs render as single transcript children.
- Updated transcript-related tests to validate one-row block separators and blank-line trimming.
- Removed async image-link materialization between user message_start and addMessageToChat.
- Fixed steering bubbles rendering below the tool output they were sent to steer.
- Materialized clickable image links via synchronous blob-store fallback instead.
- Updated addMessageToChat in UI helpers and InteractiveModeContext to return rendered components instead of void.
- EventController now tracks IRC message components and removes them after a 10-second TTL, avoiding duplicate expiry scheduling per message signature.
- EventController dispose now clears all pending IRC expiry timers and tests were added for immediate render, TTL removal, duplicate suppression, and timer cleanup.
- Tracked locally submitted user signatures for both optimistic and streamed-queue submissions in interactive-mode context state.
- Updated user message_start handling to avoid re-clearing the editor and re-adding chat for locally originated messages.
- Cleared consumed local signatures on queued-message restore and added tests for queued, external, and optimistic message_start editor behavior.
