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
- accept forwarded Cmd+C for selection copy in SSH sessions even when Hermes runs on Linux
- keep local Linux Alt+C from acting as copy and update TUI hotkey hints for remote shells
When the user runs /voice and then presses Ctrl+B in the TUI, three
handlers collaborate to consume the chord and none of them dispatch
voice.record:
- isAction() is platform-aware — on macOS it requires Cmd (meta/super),
so Ctrl+B fails the match in useInputHandlers and never triggers
voiceStart/voiceStop.
- TextInput's Ctrl+B pass-through list doesn't include 'b', so the
keystroke falls through to the wordMod backward-word branch on Linux
and to the printable-char insertion branch on macOS — the latter is
exactly what timmie reported ("enters a b into the tui").
- /voice emits "voice: on" with no hint, so the user has no way to
know Ctrl+B is the recording toggle.
Introduces isVoiceToggleKey(key, ch) in lib/platform.ts that matches
raw Ctrl+B on every platform (mirrors tips.py and config.yaml's
voice.record_key default) and additionally accepts Cmd+B on macOS so
existing muscle memory keeps working. Wires it into useInputHandlers,
adds Ctrl+B to TextInput's pass-through list so the global handler
actually receives the chord, and appends "press Ctrl+B to record" to
the /voice on message.
Empirically verified with hermes --tui: Ctrl+B no longer leaks 'b'
into the composer and now dispatches the voice.record RPC (the
downstream ImportError for hermes_cli.voice is a separate upstream
bug — follow-up patch).
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.
