## What changed
- Retain question drafts, selections, expanded state, and handled message IDs across thread input restoration and reconnects. Preserve buffered live questions during session refresh without replaying their message text.
- Enable history recall and search in question answers, honoring updated key bindings and stripping image attachments and placeholders from recalled entries. Preserve Vim mode when an answer is not accepted.
- Let forward navigation past the last question restore the latest queued message as an editable main composer draft. Keep working status and queued messages visible alongside questions.
- Show a countdown for newly arrived collapsed questions and clear it when the question editor is opened or used.
- Disable question submission and skipping while the thread is unavailable.
## Testing
Add regression tests and snapshots for draft restoration and replay deduplication, history search and key bindings, queued-message editing, countdown rendering, and question layout with working status.

## Why
Async questions with suggested choices only accepted those choices. Allow users to write an alternative answer directly in the question pane.
## What changed
- Append an editable Other choice. Typing or pasting opens it, while number shortcuts still submit named choices.
- Preserve custom drafts when switching choices, reject blank Other submissions, and distinguish the input from a suggested choice named Other.
- Support Vim editing and search in question inputs while keeping arrow keys available for choice navigation.
- Wrap custom answers inline, cap the editor height, and keep the input visible in narrow layouts.
## Testing
Add interaction tests and snapshots covering custom answer delivery, draft preservation, selector key repeats, blank answers, remapped shortcuts, Vim editing and search, and narrow or wrapped layouts.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0e9aa9fcd2410e8da25f5ca43bdef94cbb9253b8
## Why
Asynchronous questions can include suggested answers, but the TUI previously displayed only a freeform input. Show those choices and require them to be fully visible before submission.
## What changed
- Render numbered, wrapped choices with a default selection, list navigation, and digit shortcuts. Submit the selected label as the answer.
- Block submission of clipped choices and prompt the user to expand the terminal. Limit option processing to the first 32 entries and discard labels over 512 bytes.
- Preserve freeform input when no usable choices remain, and add contextual submit, skip, and question navigation hints.
- Ignore repeated submit keys so holding a key cannot answer another question.
## Testing
Add state, snapshot, and chat widget tests covering wrapped and clipped choices, constrained layouts, option limits, long answer preservation, oversized answer rejection, key repeats, and conflicting keybindings.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5d3ebadf61da62a9680ba819e6dfcf8302c4e9da
## What changed
- Display questions from live agent messages with a collapsed question count and an expandable answer editor.
- Support navigating, answering, queueing, and skipping questions while preserving the main composer draft. Expose question navigation and skip actions in the keymap picker.
- Route answers through existing input delivery and consume them only after an accepted send or queue operation. Keep questions editable while disconnected, with delivery and skipping disabled.
## Testing
Add tests for answer delivery, queued answers, retained drafts, disconnected editing, Vim undo, buffered input, constrained layouts, and question shortcut descriptions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 084b54dceb8c0100aefbf9f0b7897bf8d26eac47
## What changed
- Introduce an async-question editor component with per-question drafts, navigation, replay deduplication, and submit or queue handling using the shared composer.
- Add bounded `AnsweredQuestion` framing that truncates question text at a UTF-8 boundary and flattens line breaks before prepending it to an answer.
- Add `prompt_stack_back` and `skip_question` keybinding actions and the `tui.question_esc_back` setting. Normalize `Ctrl+]` and `Ctrl+5` for key matching and conflict detection, and let default question shortcuts yield to explicit bindings.
- Flush buffered typing in both the main composer and the covering view so background input cannot keep the draw loop waiting.
The async-question component is not yet connected to the TUI event flow.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for bounded Unicode question framing, question-shortcut conflicts, and paste-buffer flushing in background and covering editors.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4098043cf588ddafc05c27505645495edd690cb9
## What changed
- Render sparse, fading stars across the composer when using an Astra model in a true-color terminal.
- Preserve composer content, cursor state, effort effects, and terminal colors, and pause the animation while popups are open.
- Add the default-on `tui.whimsy` setting so decorative effects can be disabled independently. Sparkles also respect `tui.animations`.
## Testing
- Cover model and setting eligibility, terminal color handling, protected composer cells, popup behavior, effort effects, and layout stability.
GitOrigin-RevId: fe0471ebef0bca21c44e1d8f731d46959eba0165
## What changed
- Convert `codex-file-citation` directives in assistant Markdown into local-file links while preserving paths with Markdown-significant characters, Unicode, Windows separators, and location suffixes.
- Apply citation rendering consistently to streaming output, finalized messages and plans, and resume-picker transcript previews.
- Keep directives literal in code, HTML, existing links, reference definitions, escaped text, and generic Markdown rendering.
- Bound repeated parsing work for malformed directive candidates without limiting valid citations.
## Testing
- Add coverage for citation parsing and rendering across finalized, streaming, and resume-preview output, including malformed input and path edge cases.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5a0bfb3fc7ac21b7e8846fd170a349fb2d2d5e85
## What changed
- Add a shared parser for assistant directives that handles quoted and unquoted attributes, embedded braces, escaped quotes, and malformed input consistently.
- Use the parser for Git action receipts and code comments, including Git actions that follow a rendered code comment on the same line.
- Parse `file://` links with `PathUri` so Windows drive and UNC paths render correctly regardless of the TUI host while preserving line and column anchors.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for directive grammar and snapshot coverage for code comments, Git actions, and foreign Windows file links.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8252b3254b92ec6943096026e74c19160c4e24cc
## What changed
- Coalesce configuration, skill, sandbox, and MCP startup diagnostics into a single summary below the session header, including MCP and sign-in counts.
- Keep the complete warning text in the transcript and update the summary's transcript shortcut when key bindings change.
- Continue rendering warnings that arrive after work begins as inline history entries.
- Hide the MCP startup status row before a turn while preserving the configured interrupt shortcut.
## Testing
- Add coverage for warning ordering and deduplication, transcript details, MCP sign-in counts, resumed sessions, runtime warnings, reflow, backtracking, and interruption without a visible status row.
GitOrigin-RevId: 009657cf04f1d3a52270cf096eebf9db7513c040
## Why
Streaming can temporarily hide the status row, but its elapsed time is still
needed when the row returns and when the final `Worked for` duration falls back
to the local clock. Approval prompts must also keep that clock paused.
## What changed
- Own the pause-aware status timer in the bottom pane independently of the
optional status row.
- Preserve elapsed time and modal pause state while hiding or restoring the row,
and reset the clock for new turns and Windows sandbox setup.
- Use the independent timer as the fallback for the final turn duration.
## Testing
Add timer unit coverage and TUI tests for hidden rows, outstanding approvals,
fallback turn durations, and fresh Windows sandbox setup clocks.
GitOrigin-RevId: a77931e465d5aedd4a8cd606a3a3117d1bb37ce7
## What changed
- Add `hostname` as a selectable status-line item and show it in setup previews.
- Read the normalized operating-system hostname without triggering DNS resolution, and omit the item when no hostname is available.
## Testing
- Cover hostname normalization, status-line rendering, and setup and surface previews.

## What changed
Install the `build-essential` package on apt-based runners in both full Rust CI workflows, including the platform-specific nextest workflow.
