## This Session: Multi-line Input Polish

## This Session: Chat Layout Integration
99

10-
Completed comprehensive improvements to Pinax multi-line input handling. All fixes are in the core library, not just the demo.
10+
Integrated `Pinax::Layout::Composed` into the chat command so that multi-line input
11+
with dynamic expansion works in all modes (streaming and non-streaming).

### What Changed

14-
| Feature | Files Changed | Notes |
15-
|---------|---------------|-------|
16-
| Multi-line rendering | `input/renderer.rb` | Newlines display as separate lines, word wrapping |
17-
| Dynamic input expansion | `layout/composed.rb`, `prompt.rb` | Input grows, history scrolls up |
18-
| Input collapse after submit | `layout/composed.rb`, `prompt.rb` | Returns to initial size |
19-
| Arrow key navigation | `prompt.rb`, `input.rb` | Left/right/home/end work with Kitty enhanced format |
20-
| Bottom border | `layout/composed.rb`, `region_builder.rb` | Border between input and status |
21-
| Scroll region fixes | `layout/composed.rb` | Properly reset/reactivate on resize |
15+
| Change | Before | After |
16+
|--------|--------|-------|
17+
| Layout class | `Pinax::Layout` | `Pinax::Layout::Composed` |
18+
| Layout creation | Only when `--stream` | Always |
19+
| Prompt init | `input_row: @layout&.input_row` | `layout: @layout` |
20+
| Output routing | `warn`/`$stdout.puts` fallbacks | All through layout |

### Key Technical Details
22+
**Key insight:** The `--stream` flag should control API behavior (SSE vs blocking),
23+
not whether you get a decent input experience. Now both modes have identical TUI.
2424

25-
**Kitty Enhanced Arrow Format:**
26-
- Arrow keys send `\e[1;modifier:event_typeX` (not CSI u)
27-
- Event type 3 = release (must be ignored)
28-
- Updated regex to accept `:` in parameter section
25+
### Files Changed

30-
**Dynamic Resize Flow:**
31-
1. `Renderer#rows_needed` calculates visual lines needed
32-
2. `Prompt#maybe_resize_input!` triggers resize when needed
33-
3. `Layout#resize_input!` scrolls history, repositions regions, updates scroll region
34-
4. `Renderer#base_row=` and `max_rows=` update cached positions
35-
36-
**Input Collapse:**
37-
- `Layout#reset_input_size!` shrinks back to initial height
38-
- Clears old border line before repositioning (prevents relic in history)
39-
- Called from `Prompt#finalize_display` after submit

- Type text, Enter for new lines

## Architecture
5732

58-
The Pinax library provides a complete terminal UI toolkit:
33+
The chat command now uses the full Pinax stack:
5934

6035
```ruby
61-
# With Layout integration (recommended)
62-
layout = Pinax::Layout::Composed.new
63-
layout.setup!(input_lines: 4) # top_border + input + bottom_border + status
36+
# setup_layout creates layout unconditionally
37+
@layout = Pinax::Layout::Composed.new
38+
@layout.setup!(input_lines: 4)
39+
@layout.status = status_line
6440

65-
prompt = Pinax::Prompt.new(layout: layout)
66-
text = prompt.capture(prompt: '> ') # Dynamic expansion handled automatically
41+
# Prompt gets the layout for dynamic expansion
42+
prompt = Pinax::Prompt.new(layout: @layout)
43+
text = prompt.capture(prompt: '> ')
6744

68-
layout.history("[user] #{text}")
69-
layout.teardown!
45+
# All output through layout
46+
@layout << "[user] #{text}"
47+
@layout << "[assistant] #{response}"

```

50+
Both streaming and blocking modes now have:
51+
- Shift+Enter to submit, Enter for newlines
52+
- Dynamic input area expansion as you type
53+
- DECSTBM scroll regions (history scrolls, input/status fixed)
54+
- Status bar with model and token counts

## Next Steps
91-
92-
### Priority: Chat Command Integration
93-
The chat command (`lib/autopax/commands/chat/interactive.rb`) uses older Pinax patterns:
94-
- Uses `Pinax::Layout` instead of `Pinax::Layout::Composed`
95-
- Passes `input_row:` to Prompt instead of `layout:` (no dynamic expansion)
96-
- Streaming disabled by default, layout only created when streaming
58+
