This PR groups the TUI fixes that restore macOS Terminal usability and clean up the theme/composer regressions:
- copy transcript selections on macOS drag-release so Terminal.app users can copy while mouse tracking is enabled
- copy composer selections on macOS drag-release; composer selection is internal to TextInput and does not use the global Ink selection bus
- keep IDE Cmd+C forwarding setup macOS-only, and make keybinding conflict checks respect simple when-clause overlap/negation
- force truecolor before chalk initializes (unless NO_COLOR / FORCE_COLOR / HERMES_TUI_TRUECOLOR opt-outs apply) so the default banner keeps its gold/amber/bronze gradient in Terminal.app
- move TUI surfaces onto semantic theme tokens and preserve skin prompt symbols as bare tokens with renderer-owned spacing
- render focused placeholders as dim hint text in TTY mode instead of inverse/selected-looking synthetic cursor text
- add reusable overlay key and help-text helpers for picker-style overlays
- make model, session, skills, and pager hints consistently support Esc/q close behavior
A6 added a fixed-height grid (Array.from({length: VISIBLE})), but the
row <Text> itself had no wrap prop so Ink defaulted to wrap="wrap".
A sufficiently long model or provider name would wrap to a second
visual line and bounce the overall picker height right back — which
is exactly what reappeared during the TUI v2 blitz retest on /model.
Pin every picker row (and the empty-state / padding rows) to
wrap="truncate-end" so each slot is guaranteed one line. Applies
across modelPicker, sessionPicker, and skillsHub.
Selected rows in the model/session/skills pickers and approval/clarify
prompts only changed from dim gray to cornsilk, which reads as low
contrast on lighter themes and LCDs (reported during TUI v2 blitz).
Switch the selected row to `inverse bold` with the brand accent color
across modelPicker, sessionPicker, skillsHub, and prompts so the
highlight is terminal-portable and unambiguous. Unselected rows stay
dim. Also extends the sessionPicker middle meta column (which was
always dim) to inherit the row's selection state.
Warning row, "↑ N more" / "↓ N more" hints, and the items list were all
conditionally rendered, so the picker jumped in size as the selection
moved or providers without a warning slid into view.
Render every slot unconditionally: warning falls back to a blank line,
hints render an empty string when at the edge, and the items grid always
emits VISIBLE rows padded with blanks. Height is now constant across
providers, model counts, and scroll position.
- providers.ts: drop the `dup` intermediate, fold the ternary inline
- paths.ts (fmtCwdBranch): inline `b` into the `tag` template
- prompts.tsx (ConfirmPrompt): hoist a single `lower = ch.toLowerCase()`,
collapse the three early-return branches into two, drop the
redundant bounds checks on arrow-key handlers (setSel is idempotent
at 0/1), inline the `confirmLabel`/`cancelLabel` defaults at the
use site
- modelPicker.tsx / config/env.ts / providers.test.ts: auto-formatter
reflows picked up by `npm run fix`
- useInputHandlers.ts: drop the stray blank line that was tripping
perfectionist/sort-imports (pre-existing lint error)
Use provider.slug (and a composite key for model rows) instead of the
rendered string, so dupes in the backend response can't collapse two
rows into one or trigger key-collision warnings.
If the gateway returns two providers that resolve to the same display name
(e.g. `kimi-coding` and `kimi-coding-cn` both → "Kimi For Coding"), the
picker now appends the slug so users can tell them apart, in both the
provider list and the selected-provider header. No-op when names are
already unique.
Refs #10526 — the Python backend dedupe from #10599 skips one alias, but
user-defined providers, canonical overlays, and future regressions can
still surface as indistinguishable rows in the picker. This is a
client-side safety net on top of that.
