Adds an `evictInkCaches(level)` API that prunes the four hot module-level
caches (`widthCache`, `wrapCache`, `sliceCache`, `lineWidthCache`) with
either a half-keep LRU pass or a full clear. Wired into:
- memoryMonitor: half-prune on 'high', full drop on 'critical', before
the heap dump / auto-restart path. Gives long sessions a shot at
recovering RSS instead of hard-exiting.
- useSessionLifecycle.resetSession: half-prune so a /new session starts
with a half-warm pool and the prior session can resume cheaply.
Also: lineWidthCache now uses LRU half-eviction on overflow instead of a
full `cache.clear()`, matching the other three caches.
Comparison vs claude-code: both forks now share the same `prevScreen`
blit + dirty-cascade machinery in render-node-to-output. Their smoothness
came from sibling-memo discipline (every chrome pane memo'd so dirty
cascade doesn't disable transcript blit) — already in place in our
appLayout.tsx (TranscriptPane / ComposerPane / StatusRulePane all memo'd).
Alt-screen is not the cause; both use it. The remaining gap was per-row
CPU on width/wrap/slice, which the previous commit closed.
Tolerating null top-level keys silently drops user settings (e.g.
`agent.system_prompt` next to a bare `agent:` line is gone). Probe at
session create, log via `logger.warning`, and surface in the boot info
under `config_warning` — rendered in the TUI feed alongside the existing
`credential_warning` banner.
- useVirtualHistory: track last-seen ScrollBox metrics in a ref inside
the post-layout effect and bump ver when sticky/top/vp change — the
subscribe-based rearm was sufficient for fresh clicks but not for the
"hydrated mid-commit, measured empty, then metrics settle" path where
nothing re-triggered the hook until the next unrelated keystroke
- useSessionLifecycle: resume scrollToBottom from queueMicrotask to
setTimeout(..., 0) so the fresh transcript has a full task turn to
commit + measure before we try to land at the newest content
useVirtualHistory set up its useSyncExternalStore subscription during
the first render, when scrollRef.current was still null (the ScrollBox
ref attaches during commit, after render). Its useCallback for
subscribe had a stable scrollRef identity as its only dep, so it never
re-subscribed once the ref actually attached — the hook stayed stuck
with vp=0, top=0, no scroll subscription. Small sessions fit entirely
in cold-start so you didn't notice; big /resume sessions got sliced to
the last 40 items with a huge topSpacer and the viewport sat on empty
space until some unrelated state change (e.g. a keystroke) re-rendered
and finally read a real vp.
- flip a hasScrollRef flag in useLayoutEffect once the ref attaches and
add it to the subscribe useCallback deps so useSyncExternalStore
rearms with a real subscription
- on resume, scrollToBottom() after history hydrates so the ScrollBox
lands at the newest messages instead of scrollTop=0 (stickyScroll
doesn't auto-engage on the initial empty→full dump)
- drop inline `import()` type annotation in useSessionLifecycle (import
`PanelSection` at the top like everything else)
- include `panel` and `session.resumeById` in the useMainApp useMemo
deps now that the event handler depends on them
- wrap the derived `selected` range in a useMemo so it has stable
identity and stops invalidating the TextInput `rendered` memo every
render
- prettier re-sorting of a couple of export/import lines
- tui_gateway: new `setup.status` RPC that reuses CLI's
`_has_any_provider_configured()`, so the TUI can ask the same question
the CLI bootstrap asks before launching a session
- useSessionLifecycle: preflight `setup.status` before both `newSession`
and `resumeById`, and render a clear "Setup Required" panel when no
provider is configured instead of booting a session that immediately
fails with `agent init failed`
- createGatewayEventHandler: drop duplicate startup resume logic in
favor of the preflighted `resumeById`, and special-case the
no-provider agent-init error as a last-mile fallback to the same
setup panel
- add regression tests for both paths
Python (tui_gateway/server.py):
- hoist `_wait_agent` next to `_sess` so `_sess` no longer forward-refs
- simplify `_wait_agent`: `ready.wait()` already returns True when set,
no separate `.is_set()` check, collapse two returns into one expr
- factor `_sess_nowait` for handlers that don't need the agent (currently
`terminal.resize` + `input.detect_drop`) — DRY up the duplicated
`_sessions.get` + "session not found" dance
- inline `session = _sessions[sid]` in the session.create build thread so
agent/worker writes don't re-look-up the dict each time
- rename inline `ready_event` → `ready` (it's never ambiguous)
TS:
- `useSessionLifecycle.newSession`: hoist `r.info ?? null` into `info`
so it's one lookup, drop ceremonial `{ … }` blocks around single-line
bodies
- `createGatewayEventHandler.session.info`: wrap the case in a block,
hoist `ev.payload` into `info`, tighten comments
- `useMainApp` flush effect: collapse two guard returns into one
- `bootBanner.ts`: lift `TAGLINE` + `FALLBACK` to module constants, make
`GRADIENT` readonly, one-liner return via template literal
- `theme.ts`: group `selectionBg` inside the status* block (it's a UI
surface bg, same family), trim the comment
Post-async-session.create, `session.create` returns in ~1ms with partial
info and the real agent fires `session.info` ~1s later. Previously the
status bar went straight to 'ready' right after the instant RPC return,
which was misleading — `prompt.submit` would block server-side waiting
for the agent to finish building.
Now:
- `newSession`: status = 'starting agent…' when info has no `version`,
else 'ready' (covers the fast resume path too)
- `session.info` event: flips status to 'ready' only if it was
'starting agent…', preserving running/interrupted/error states
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.
