Query CSI ? u at startup and push the disambiguate flag on the alternate
screen when the terminal answers; CSI u reports are mapped back to legacy
input (Shift/Ctrl+Enter insert a newline, Ctrl+Backspace deletes a word).
Ctrl/Alt+Left/Right move by word, Ctrl/Alt+Delete delete the next word.
Our define_key codes move above the range ncurses uses for terminfo
extended keys.
- bootstrap_termux.sh installs pkg-config/binutils, builds with make,
runs the tests and installs into Termux's $PREFIX/bin.
- Makefile drops -lpthread on Android (pthreads are in bionic libc).
- TUI assumes UTF-8 on Android: nl_langinfo needs API 26, Termux
targets 24. All sources compile for aarch64-linux-android24 (NDK 27).
Tools
- Table-driven tool registry with permission classes and default/minimal
profiles; new tools: edit_file, list_dir, glob, grep, delete_file,
move_file, todo_write, web_fetch, ask_user (plus read_file paging).
- Built-in Myers diff; write tools return unified diffs.
- Persistent permission rules (.agent/permissions.json), per-turn undo
snapshots (.agent/undo), AGENTS.md project notes, auto-compact at 80%
of the model context, cancellable run_shell with process-group kill.
TUI
- Table-driven slash commands: /provider /key /effort /status /tools
/permissions /yolo /undo /retry /diff /export /copy /rename /delete
/init /max-steps /todo, with / and @ completion.
- Permission modal with diff and prefix rules, ask_user modal, todo
panel, header with model/effort/context, bracketed paste, line editing,
wide-char cursor, NO_COLOR and ASCII fallback; Esc never quits.
Startup and configuration
- API keys are entered in the TUI (hidden) and saved per provider in
<config>/credentials (0600); env variables are only a fallback.
- Last provider, per-provider model and reasoning effort are remembered
in <config>/settings.json; --effort/-e and /effort send
reasoning_effort (low|medium|high|max) to models that accept it.
- DeepSeek preset uses deepseek-flash / deepseek-v4-pro.
- Session flags --new/--continue/--resume/--list-sessions, --yolo,
--confirm.
Compatibility and tests
- ncurses detection, macOS/Homebrew support, make install, XDG config
dir, POSIX cleanups; Gitea CI (gcc/clang/asan/musl/macOS).
- Unit tests for diff, fs tools, registry, undo/perms and config;
e2e fixtures multi_file_refactor and ask_or_todo; vendored cJSON.
