```
$ time cargo test -p codex-tui -q

the major offenders were the textarea fuzz test and the custom_terminal
doctests. (i think the doctests were being recompiled every time which
made them extra slow?)
Introduce a minimal paste-burst heuristic in the chat composer so Enter
is treated as a newline during paste-like bursts (plain chars arriving
in very short intervals), avoiding premature submit after the first line
on Windows consoles that lack bracketed paste.
- Detect tight sequences of plain Char events; open a short window where
Enter inserts a newline instead of submitting.
- Extend the window on newline to handle blank lines in pasted content.
- No behavior change for terminals that already emit Event::Paste; no
OS/env toggles added.
this is in preparation for adding more separate "modes" to the tui, in
particular, a "transcript mode" to view a full history once #2316 lands.
1. split apart "tui events" from "app events".
2. remove onboarding-related events from AppEvent.
3. move several general drawing tools out of App and into a new Tui
class
Codex created this PR from the following prompt:
> upgrade this entire repo to Rust 1.89. Note that this requires
updating codex-rs/rust-toolchain.toml as well as the workflows in
.github/. Make sure that things are "clippy clean" as this change will
likely uncover new Clippy errors. `just fmt` and `cargo clippy --tests`
are sufficient to check for correctness
Note this modifies a lot of lines because it folds nested `if`
statements using `&&`.

* #2467
* __->__ #2465
Ensure Emacs-style Ctrl-b/Ctrl-f work when terminals send bare control
chars.
- Map ^B (U+0002) to move left when no CONTROL modifier is reported.
- Map ^F (U+0006) to move right when no CONTROL modifier is reported.
- Preserve existing Ctrl-b/Ctrl-f and Alt-b/Alt-f behavior.
- Add unit test covering the fallback path.
Background: Ghostty (and some tmux/terminal configs) can emit bare
control characters for Ctrl-b/Ctrl-f. Previously these could be treated
as literal input; with this change both styles behave identically.
- Prevents the % left indicator from immediately decrementing to ~97%.
- Tested by prompting "hi" and noting it only decremented to 99%. And by
adding a bunch of debug logs and observing numbers.
This pull request resolves#2391. ctrl + h is not assigned to any other
operations at this moment, and this feature request sounds valid to me.
If we don't prefer having this, please feel free to close this.
New style guide:
# Headers, primary, and secondary text
- **Headers:** Use `bold`. For markdown with various header levels,
leave in the `#` signs.
- **Primary text:** Default.
- **Secondary text:** Use `dim`.
# Foreground colors
- **Default:** Most of the time, just use the default foreground color.
`reset` can help get it back.
- **Selection:** Use ANSI `blue`. (Ed & AE want to make this cyan too,
but we'll do that in a followup since it's riskier in different themes.)
- **User input tips and status indicators:** Use ANSI `cyan`.
- **Success and additions:** Use ANSI `green`.
- **Errors, failures and deletions:** Use ANSI `red`.
- **Codex:** Use ANSI `magenta`.
# Avoid
- Avoid custom colors because there's no guarantee that they'll contrast
well or look good on various terminal color themes.
- Avoid ANSI `black`, `white`, `yellow` as foreground colors because the
terminal theme will do a better job. (Use `reset` if you need to in
order to get those.) The exception is if you need contrast rendering
over a manually colored background.
(There are some rules to try to catch this in `clippy.toml`.)
# Testing
Tested in a variety of light and dark color themes in Terminal, iTerm2, and Ghostty.
## Summary
- Show a temporary Working on diff state in the bottom pan
- Add `DiffResult` app event and dispatch git diff asynchronously
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix` *(fails: `let` expressions in this position are unstable)*
- `cargo test --all-features` *(fails: `let` expressions in this
position are unstable)*

This PR:
* Added the clippy.toml to configure allowable expect / unwrap usage in
tests
* Removed as many expect/allow lines as possible from tests
* moved a bunch of allows to expects where possible
Note: in integration tests, non `#[test]` helper functions are not
covered by this so we had to leave a few lingering `expect(expect_used`
checks around
This improves handling of pasted content in the textarea. It's no longer
possible to partially delete a placeholder (e.g. by ^W or ^D), nor is it
possible to place the cursor inside a placeholder. Also, we now render
placeholders in a different color to make them more clearly
differentiated.

Wait for newlines, then render markdown on a line by line basis. Word wrap it for the current terminal size and then spit it out line by line into the UI. Also adds tests and fixes some UI regressions.
- I had a recent conversation where the one-liner showed using 11M
tokens! But looking into it 10M were cached. So I looked into it and I
think we had a regression here. ->
- Use blended total tokens for chat composer usage display
- Compute remaining context using tokens_in_context_window helper

We wait until we have an entire newline, then format it with markdown and stream in to the UI. This reduces time to first token but is the right thing to do with our current rendering model IMO. Also lets us add word wrapping!
This will make @ more discoverable (even though it is currently not
super useful, IMO it should be used to bring files into context from
outside CWD)

Cursor wasn't moving when inserting a file, resulting in being not at
the end of the filename when inserting the file.
This fixes it by moving the cursor to the end of the file + one trailing
space.

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1835 has some messed up history.
This adds support for streaming chat completions, which is useful for ollama. We should probably take a very skeptical eye to the code introduced in this PR.

Stream models thoughts and responses instead of waiting for the whole
thing to come through. Very rough right now, but I'm making the risk call to push through.
Added:
* C-m for newline (not sure if this is actually treated differently to
Enter, but tui-textarea handles it and it doesn't hurt)
* C-d to delete one char forwards (same as Del)
* A-bksp to delete backwards one word
* A-arrows to navigate by word
This replaces tui-textarea with a custom textarea component.
Key differences:
1. wrapped lines
2. better unicode handling
3. uses the native terminal cursor
This should perhaps be spun out into its own separate crate at some
point, but for now it's convenient to have it in-tree.
Simplify and improve many UI elements.
* Remove all-around borders in most places. These interact badly with
terminal resizing and look heavy. Prefer left-side-only borders.
* Make the viewport adjust to the size of its contents.
* <kbd>/</kbd> and <kbd>@</kbd> autocomplete boxes appear below the
prompt, instead of above it.
* Restyle the keyboard shortcut hints & move them to the left.
* Restyle the approval dialog.
* Use synchronized rendering to avoid flashing during rerenders.

Proof of concept for a resizable viewport.
The general approach here is to duplicate the `Terminal` struct from
ratatui, but with our own logic. This is a "light fork" in that we are
still using all the base ratatui functions (`Buffer`, `Widget` and so
on), but we're doing our own bookkeeping at the top level to determine
where to draw everything.
This approach could use improvement—e.g, when the window is resized to a
smaller size, if the UI wraps, we don't correctly clear out the
artifacts from wrapping. This is possible with a little work (i.e.
tracking what parts of our UI would have been wrapped), but this
behavior is at least at par with the existing behavior.
