alt-glitch eaa069e322 opentui(v6): transcript windowing S2 — append-time adjudication + windowed resume + edge measure
S2 of docs/plans/opentui-transcript-windowing.md (#27), behind
HERMES_TUI_WINDOWING (OFF path renders the byte-identical legacy tree).

Append-time adjudication: the window now recomputes on transcript GROWTH,
not just scroll — a createComputed on messages.length re-windows
synchronously per append, and while pinned at the bottom computeWindow
anchors to the cumulative content BOTTOM (pinnedBottom) instead of the
stale pre-layout scrollTop, so burst-appended rows are spacer-swapped the
moment they pass the margin. The frame driver additionally treats a
≥ ¼-viewport scrollHeight change (streaming growth) like scroll movement.
Unseen-row default changed from "always mounted" to "mounted iff created
streaming or within the bottom-30" — live rows still paint instantly with
zero added latency; a bulk commitSnapshot (resume) mounts ONLY the bottom
window and everything above starts as line-count-estimate spacers (chip-
and-spacing-aware estimateMessageHeight).

Spacer corrections (zero-jank rule): when a measure lands a height
different from what the spacer occupied, the wrapper's onSizeChange fires
inside the layout traversal, pre-paint. Pinned at bottom the scrollbox's
own sticky re-pin (content onSizeChange runs before the row wrappers')
already compensated — verified by test; otherwise scrollTop is compensated
same-frame for rows fully above the viewport (correctionIsLegal). Frames
stay byte-stable across corrections in both pinned and mid-history tests.

Lazy exact-measure (design §4 — the simple choice, documented): no true
offscreen layout exists in @opentui/core, so an idle pulse (no appends,
no scroll, no turn, no selection for HERMES_TUI_WINDOW_IDLE_MS≈1s) mounts
MEASURE_BATCH_ROWS=10 never-measured rows nearest the bottom window edge
(edgeMeasureBatch), records exact heights (incl. a direct post-layout pull
for rows whose mount changed nothing — no onSizeChange fires), and the
next recompute swaps them back to now-exact spacers. Scrolling itself
still measures the margin band.

DEV counter: windowRowStats (current/peak simultaneously-mounted rows),
exposed on globalThis behind HERMES_TUI_WINDOW_STATS; tests assert it.

Measured (this build, 39f9f433e+S2):
- check: exit 0 (647 tests / 39 files; +11 pure window cases, +4 headless)
- peak mounted: 31 rows over a 1500-row burst; 30 rows on a 600-row
  resume snapshot (bound asserted < 120)
- gate digest: otui-capped d5e9558583159eac… — byte-identical, 2/2 reps
- mem2000 (otui-capped, windowing ON, 8GB heap): vmhwm 300MB
  (S1 same-heap 518MB; S1 right-sized-heap 427MB; Ink 229-239MB;
  target ≤ 350MB)
- scroll2000 otui-capped: p50 2.0ms / p99 5.0ms / max 18ms
  (gate ≤ 17ms p99; S1 baseline p99 15ms)

Known S2 limits (deferred to S3, design §5): /compact·/details toggles and
width resizes leave out-of-window spacer heights stale until remount or
the idle march; expanded-body state above the window may re-collapse on
remount (S1-accepted).
