Subscribe overlay components to computed theme/session selectors instead of the full UI store so unrelated UI state updates trigger fewer overlay renders.
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
The pager overlay backing /history, /toolsets, /help and any paged slash
output only advanced with Enter/Space and closed at the end. Could not
scroll back, scroll line-by-line, or jump to endpoints.
Adds Up/Down (↑↓, j/k), PgUp (b), g/G for top/bottom, keeps existing
Enter/Space/PgDn forward-and-auto-close, and clamps offset so
over-scrolling past the last page is a no-op.
The completion popup (e.g. typing `/model`) grew from 8 rows at
compIdx=0 up to 16 rows at compIdx≥8 — the slice end was `compIdx + 8`
so every arrow-down added another rendered row until the window filled.
Reported during TUI v2 retest: "as i scroll and more options appear,
for some reason more options appear and it expands the height".
Fixed viewport (`COMPLETION_WINDOW = 16`) centered on compIdx, clamped
so it never slides past the array bounds. Renders exactly
`min(WINDOW, completions.length)` rows every frame.
The time-window gate felt wrong — users would hit /clear, read the
prompt, retype, and consistently blow past the window. Swapping to a
real yes/no overlay that blocks input like the existing Approval and
Clarify prompts.
- add ConfirmReq type + OverlayState.confirm + $isBlocked coverage
- ConfirmPrompt component (prompts.tsx): cancel row on top as the
default, danger-coloured confirm row on the bottom, Y/N hotkeys,
Enter on default = cancel, Esc/Ctrl+C cancel
- wire into PromptZone (appOverlays.tsx)
- /clear + /new now push onto the overlay instead of arming a timer
- HERMES_TUI_NO_CONFIRM=1 still skips the prompt for scripting
- drop the destructiveGate + createSlashHandler reset wiring
(destructive.ts and its tests removed)

New SkillsHub mirrors ModelPicker's category → item → actions flow with
paginated 12-line lists, 1-9/0 quick-pick, Esc-back navigation, and
lazy skills.manage inspect/install calls. Mount it from appOverlays
when overlay.skillsHub is true.
- tui_gateway: route approvals through gateway callback (HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION/
HERMES_EXEC_ASK) so dangerous commands emit approval.request instead of
silently falling through the CLI input() path and auto-denying
- approval UX: dedicated PromptZone between transcript and composer, safer
defaults (sel=0, numeric quick-picks, no Esc=deny), activity trail line,
outcome footer under the cost row
- text input: Ctrl+A select-all, real forward Delete, Ctrl+W always consumed
(fixes Ctrl+Backspace at cursor 0 inserting literal w)
- hermes-ink selection: swap synchronous onRender() for throttled
scheduleRender() on drag, and only notify React subscribers on presence
change — no more per-cell paint/subscribe spam
- useConfigSync: silence config.get polling failures instead of surfacing
'error: timeout: config.get' in the transcript
Hoist turn state from a 286-line hook into $turnState atom + turnController
singleton. createGatewayEventHandler becomes a typed dispatch over the
controller; its ctx shrinks from 30 fields to 5. Event-handler refs and 16
threaded actions are gone.
Fold three createSlash*Handler factories into a data-driven SlashCommand[]
registry under slash/commands/{core,session,ops}.ts. Aliases are data;
findSlashCommand does name+alias lookup. Shared guarded/guardedErr combinator
in slash/guarded.ts.
Split constants.ts + app/helpers.ts into config/ (timing/limits/env),
content/ (faces/placeholders/hotkeys/verbs/charms/fortunes), domain/ (roles/
details/messages/paths/slash/viewport/usage), protocol/ (interpolation/paste).
Type every RPC response in gatewayTypes.ts (26 new interfaces); drop all
`(r: any)` across slash + main app.
Shrink useMainApp from 1216 -> 646 lines by extracting useSessionLifecycle,
useSubmission, useConfigSync. Add <Fg> themed primitive and strip ~50
`as any` color casts.
Tests: 50 passing. Build + type-check clean.
