🟡 Changes recommended
There are correctness/documentation issues in the new extension (selection length hint, SGR reset breaking styling, stale/misleading comments) and the new behavior lacks accompanying automated tests in an otherwise well-tested repo.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
Adds a new editor extension that enables anchored text selection in the main input editor (Shift+Home/End, Alt+A select-all) with selection-aware delete/replace behavior, visual highlighting, and an optional key debug tap.
Changes:
- Introduces
SelectingEditor(CustomEditorsubclass) implementing selection anchor semantics, selection-aware editing, and reverse-video highlight rendering. - Vendors a keyboard parsing helper (
keys.js) to support Kitty/CSI-u printable decoding. - Updates README “Package contents” to list the new extension directory.

- The file header claims
decodePrintableKeyis imported via a deep@earendil-works/pi-tui/dist/keys.jspath, but the implementation actually imports the vendored helper from./keys.js. Please update the comment to match the code to avoid confusion during upgrades.
* Version coupling: accesses private TUI Editor internals (state, undo snapshot, line-edge
* movement, visual-line map, autocomplete controls) through one cast view, and imports
* decodePrintableKey via the deep path @earendil-works/pi-tui/dist/keys.js (pi-tui has no
* exports map, so deep dist imports resolve). Written and verified against pi 0.85.1 —

- There are two consecutive JSDoc blocks above
selectAll(), and one appears to be a stale description fordeleteSelection(). Also, the remaining comment says(ctrl+a)but the keybinding implemented isalt+a. This makes the contract harder to trust when reading the code.
/** Splice out the active selection. Returns false when there was nothing to delete. */
/** Select the entire editor text (ctrl+a). Cursor moves to the end of the last line. */

- Similarly, the function appends
\x1b[0mwhen the selection runs to end-of-row, which can reset any existing theme styles for subsequent UI output. Using SGR 27 here avoids that global reset while still canceling reverse-video.

@earendil-works/pi-tui ProcessTerminal Kitty keyboard protocol flag 2
💡 Result:
In the @earendil-works/pi-tui library, the "Kitty keyboard protocol flag 2" refers to the "Report event types" feature within the Kitty keyboard protocol [1][2][3]. When flag 2 is enabled, the terminal is instructed to report key release and key repeat events in addition to the standard key press events [4][5][3]. This allows the library to track the complete lifecycle of a key press (press, repeat, and release), which is essential for certain TUI applications, such as games or interfaces that require distinguishing between a tap and a hold [2][5][3]. Key details regarding this flag in the library: - Implementation: The ProcessTerminal class in @earendil-works/pi-tui automatically attempts to query and enable the Kitty keyboard protocol upon initialization [6][7][3]. - Requested Flags: The library typically requests flags 1 (disambiguate escape codes), 2 (report event types), and 4 (report alternate keys) by sending a configuration sequence [6][3]. - Event Identification: The library provides helper functions such as isKeyRelease(data) and isKeyRepeat(data) to interpret these events when Kitty keyboard protocol is active [4][3]. - Protocol Context: This is part of the broader Kitty keyboard protocol, which defines flag 2 as follows: 1 for key press (default), 2 for key repeat, and 3 for key release [8][5][3].

Reject non-press Kitty events in decodeKittyPrintable. ProcessTerminal requests Kitty flags 1, 2, and 4 (DESIRED_KITTY_KEYBOARD_PROTOCOL_FLAGS = 7). Repeat (:2) and release (:3) events can reach the extension. match[5] captures the event type, but the decoder ignores it and returns a character. insertsCharacter can then process the event as another edit.

Thanks for contributing this. The selection UX is valuable, but there are a few correctness and maintenance issues that need to be addressed before we can merge it:
- Filter Kitty key event types correctly.
decodeKittyPrintable()currently accepts repeat/release events, which can cause unintended edits, and repeated Shift+Home/End events can collapse the selection after selecting it. - Verify that replacing a selection is one undo transaction. The current delete snapshot followed by
super.handleInput()may create a second undo step. - Add focused automated tests for press/repeat/release handling, delete and printable replacement, undo, multiline/wrapped selections, Unicode, and ANSI styling. This behavior is too stateful and coupled to private editor internals to rely only on manual testing.
- Please also avoid resetting all SGR attributes after the highlighted span, and document or harden
PI_SHIFT_SELECTION_DEBUG, since it records raw keystrokes in plaintext.
Once these paths are covered, the extension will be much safer to maintain across pi-tui upgrades.

Ported the probe fix from the standalone dev workspace (where it was verified and review-approved before landing here). What was wrong: the session-start warning This commit:
Verification on the merged tree: extension suite 58/58, Pre-existing, not from this commit (imports here are unchanged, so this predates it — flagging for a follow-up): |
Gentle-ai call cards stamp startedAt/endedAt per row (persisted in the row render state) and render a live elapsed duration (42s / 3m05s) that ticks from the first observation and freezes at the terminal state. cardBottom gains an optional right-aligned content slot (responsive: omitted when the card is too narrow) so the duration closes the frame, and the expand hint moves alone to the top rule in one uniform role. Tests: duration stamping from first sight to terminal freeze, replayed rows with persisted stamps, and honest no-duration when state is lost.
Pi replays historical tool rows with a fresh render state and renders the call card in preparing before attaching the stored result, so stamping startedAt on any non-terminal observation invented a 0s duration on every replayed gentle-ai card. The start is now stamped only on live-only signals (running status or executionStarted), keeping replays honest: no persisted timestamps means no duration is shown. Every preparing/running render also stacked another untracked 1s invalidate timer, so frequent partial updates built multiple independent invalidation chains that outlived the row. The row state bag now holds at most one pending timer (cleared before rescheduling, gated on a known start, cleared by terminal renders). Tests: the production replay ordering (fresh state -> preparing render -> stored result -> microtask invalidate -> terminal re-render) asserts no invented duration, and a mock-timer test asserts exactly one pending timer per row and none after the terminal render.
Review requested durable startedAt/endedAt persistence: pi's row render state is render-local, so a historical replay constructed fresh state and could never show a duration again. A new elapsed timing ledger persists start/end per tool call as gentle-ai-elapsed-timing/v1 custom session entries keyed by pi's stable toolCallId: quiet-tools records bash calls that render as gentle-ai cards, the gentle-ai extension records the four gentle_review* tools. The renderer seeds a fresh replayed row only from a complete start+end record — a start-only record has no honest duration and must not tick against the replay clock — and freezes the end only on a live terminal observation (executionStarted), so a replay never grows an invented end. Replays without durable timestamps still show no duration, and each row keeps at most one pending duration timer, cleared at terminal. Tests: new store suite (parse, replay merge, stage dedupe, end-without-start skip, cross-reload lookup) and renderer tests for the production replay order with a durable record (true frozen duration, no drift to the replay clock, transient replay timer cleared at terminal) and with a start-only record (no invented end, no duration).
Closing the /gentle:agents overlay restored the editor with an incremental re-render, and the fullscreen interaction's stale cell state survived it: keys kept working (selection, delete, everything dispatched and matched at the byte level) while the screen no longer updated. Field-reported as "selection keys stop working after gentle commands", with /reload as the only recovery; PID-stamped stdin taps proved the keypresses were delivered and matched while the screen stayed stale. Add lib/overlay-repaint.ts withOverlayRepaint: wraps an overlay's done callback so the close path runs done() first, then tui.invalidate() + tui.requestRender() to repaint every cell. Paint failures are swallowed; done failures propagate. Wired into the four gentle overlays: agents view, command palette, usage view, changes file chooser. Tests: 4 new cases (order done->invalidate->requestRender, null close, swallowed paint failure, propagating done failure). Gates: typecheck clean (no regressions), targeted suite 290 pass / 0 fail run with EDITOR/VISUAL neutralized per AGENTS.md after editor-launch leaks.
GentlePromptEditor now owns text selection natively: shift+home / shift+end anchored selection, alt+a select-all, and replace-on-key (backspace / delete / printable) with reverse-video highlight on the content rows and the "N chars selected" hint on the petal's bottom rule. The engine (lib/selection-engine.ts) drives the editor's own internals through the EditorInternals surface and degrades to pure passthrough if that surface drifts on a pi upgrade — selection features off, never a crash. handleInput dispatches selection keys in front of the petal's chain (Esc gates, idle-clear, autocomplete all preserved via handleInputNative). With the feature native to the petal, the pi-select-del factory composition (and the cross-extension focus handoff it required) becomes unnecessary for gentle setups. Tests: 6 new cases driving a real CustomEditor and the framed petal prompt end to end (selection, replace, collapse, zero-width no-op, highlight + hint, degraded passthrough). Gates: typecheck clean (no regressions), targeted suite 296 pass / 0 fail.
tui.invalidate() propagated to every component, so closing an overlay on a long session rebuilt the whole transcript synchronously - a ~5s freeze that exactly matched the reported overlay close delay. Use tui.requestRender(true) instead: resetRenderState clears the written-frame buffer so the next paint rewrites every cell (clearing the stale overlay ghost) while component row caches stay warm.

…engine The packed runtime resolves deep pi-tui subpath imports by joining onto the resolved entry file, so `@earendil-works/pi-tui/dist/keys.js` loaded as `dist/index.js/dist/keys.js` and broke every extension load that reaches lib/selection-engine.ts (CI: asset-installation-runtime.test.ts expected zero extension errors). Root package imports are proven safe in that loader. decodeKittyPrintable is exported from the pi-tui package root, so only the modifyOtherKeys half of decodePrintableKey is vendored verbatim into lib/pi-tui-keys.ts (parse + decode, same regexes and modifier masks), with decodePrintableKey composing root decodeKittyPrintable over the vendored half. Behavior is identical to pi-tui dist/keys.js. Tests: asset-installation-runtime.test.ts 1 pass / 0 fail under node --experimental-strip-types --test; selection-engine suite 6 pass / 0 fail; npm run typecheck clean with no regressions.
Review finding R4-replay-running-start-fabrication (lineage review-e90c069929e5ef92, CRITICAL, resilience lens): the start-stamping branch fired whenever status computed RUNNING with no live-execution evidence. pi replays historical rows without argsComplete, which routes an unfinished row to RUNNING, so every replayed row without a complete durable timing record fabricated startedAt at replay time: completed replays showed a duration growing on every repaint, and interrupted replays re-armed the 1s pendingTimer forever, causing a self-sustaining 1 Hz invalidate/re-render loop per dead row on the invalidate path that costs a seconds-long full re-render on long sessions. - stamp the start on RUNNING only with live evidence (argsComplete true) or executionStarted; replayed rows stay honest - arm the duration wake-up timer only while endedAt is unfrozen - add four regressions pinning the real replay shape (argsComplete absent) and the live stamping/timer behavior

Thanks for incorporating the selection feedback. The current diff still combines selection with the elapsed-card changes from #1317 and a separate overlay-repaint fix (14 files, +1,221/-31 against main). Please make this PR selection-focused: land or otherwise settle #1317 first, remove the duplicated duration changes, and move the overlay repaint to its own small PR unless selection genuinely requires it. Then rebase and rerun the selection/terminal-key and undo tests against the focused diff. This will make the editor behavior reviewable without coupling it to two independent UI lifecycles. |
Summary
Replaces the PR's earlier extension-based approach with a native implementation.
GentlePromptEditornow owns text selection directly: shift+home / shift+end anchored selection, alt+a select-all, replace-on-key (backspace / delete / printable) with reverse-video highlight on the content rows and the "N chars selected" hint on the petal's bottom rule. The engine (lib/selection-engine.ts) drives the editor's internals through theEditorInternalssurface and degrades to pure passthrough if that surface drifts on a pi upgrade — selection features off, never a crash. Kitty release/repeat events are filtered, replacement is atomic (exactly one undo step), and the highlight span closes with SGR 27.lib/overlay-repaint.ts), fixing stale frames left behind when overlays close; a follow-up switches to a targeted forced render instead of a full invalidate.Commits (rebased on current main)
