Carriage return and backspace only MOVE the cursor; neither erases. Both of
my earlier approximations were wrong, and I checked each case against a real
terminal rather than reasoning about it:
`100%\rOK` shows `OK0%`, not `OK` — the redraw is shorter than the frame
beneath it, so the tail stands. `abc\b` still shows `abc`, not `ab` — a
trailing backspace has nothing to overwrite. `\x1b[31mgone\rkept` paints
`kept` RED, because a carriage return does not reset the graphic state, which
one of my own tests had asserted the opposite of.
Both now replay into a per-line column buffer with SGR state stamped per
column, as a terminal stores it per cell. That gives the partial-overwrite
case its real result too: red `bad`, three backspaces, then `ok` shows `okd`
with the `d` still red, since `ok` reached only two of the three cells.
The presenter description now also renders at every site. An expanded row
draws it itself — the collapsed summary is hidden while open, so otherwise
the description was visible only collapsed, the opposite of "above the card"
— and the details panel draws it above the card as well.
Three of my own tests encoded the wrong semantics and were corrected with
their behavior, and the emit loop's gap-filling arm was removed as
unreachable: `\r` and backspace only move left, so no column can be unwritten.
Settled history now exposes user/assistant chrome (including date-aware
clocks) in the accessibility tree; collapse clocks via scaffold and update
keyless scenario goldens.
The pending question now owns exactly two surfaces: the redesigned
QuestionComposer takeover (footer pager, checkbox multi-select,
always-visible custom input, locale-injected bilingual chrome) collects
the answers, and a dedicated ask_user_question toolview row reports the
interaction outcome — waiting, N/M answered, cancelled (ASK_CANCELLED),
or interrupted with stopped semantics (ASK_ABORTED). PendingCard narrows
to approval waits only. Toolview leading icons and the hover chevron
unify on the tertiary label color, the checklist glyph matches the
14px figma extract, and dev-watch registers CSS modules so css-only
edits rebuild.
