Add a `lifecycle` help topic spelling out that the caller owns the
processes it spawns and should `close_process` when a sub-agent or
spawned child is no longer needed. The `spawn_agent` and `spawn_process`
descriptions advertised via `tools/list` now restate the same duty
inline (with a pointer to `help('lifecycle')`), so vendor TUIs see the
expectation at the moment they reach for the tool. The `spawning` topic
and `topics` index cross-reference the new content.
Bundles two already-staged improvements that fall in the same area:
- OnChildSpawned primes the snapshot-replay budget for new panes so
diff-based vendor TUIs come up clean without a manual Ctrl+W/Ctrl+S
refresh.
- TODO drops the three items now actioned (prompt-injection preface,
agent cleanup duty, opencode→claude view corruption) and keeps the
unicode `<?>` entry with the investigation notes.
This batches the in-flight [Unreleased] block from CHANGELOG.md into a
single commit. Highlights:
- Real MCP protocol layer (initialize / tools/list / tools/call) so
vendor MCP clients can complete the handshake against the per-PID
socket. Legacy direct-dispatch preserved for the harness.
- New mcp_injection kinds — cli_override for codex, config_env for
opencode — joining the existing env-var and config_file paths so
patterm can slot into more agents without touching their real
config or auth.
- Ctrl+A/D and Ctrl+W/S focus navigation across tabs and intra-tab
process lists, recognised in legacy / kitty CSI u / xterm
modifyOtherKeys encodings.
- Palette macros (sw / k / sp ) and reordering so open sessions
surface above spawn-new entries.
- Two-row tab bar, sidebar/tabbar/status chrome cache, viewport-wipe
on agent spawn, CR-terminated orchestrator injections, and split-
Enter PTY writes so paste-detecting TUIs see Enter as a key event.
Also fixes the bug logged in TODO: claude's Ctrl+O tool-call expansion
emits CSI 0 J, which the viewport renderer was forwarding verbatim —
wiping the sidebar to the right of the cursor and leaving the chrome
cache convinced nothing had changed. CSI 0 J and CSI 1 J are now
translated into per-row ECH sequences clamped to the viewport, same
as CSI 2 J and CSI K already were.
Agent guides (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md) now spell out the
TODO->CHANGELOG workflow so completed items land in the changelog
rather than as ticked entries left behind in TODO.
