[tui] Rework TUI with CLI-style command flow - #10
Conversation
Reshape the Textual interface around a transcript-first flow, fix TUI startup metadata from dotenv, and keep common slash commands local so exit, clear, help, and model commands do not reach the agent. The composer now sends on Enter, shows slash command suggestions, supports arrow navigation, and completes the selected command with Tab. Constraint: Keep the existing Textual dependency and avoid adding packages Rejected: Keep the multiline TextArea composer | Enter-to-send and slash completion need single-line prompt semantics Confidence: high Scope-risk: moderate Directive: Slash commands are local TUI commands; do not forward exact local command aliases to the agent Tested: uv run pytest Tested: git diff --check

Because the new Ctrl+L binding remains active while the input is disabled, a user can clear the transcript during an in-flight agent response or tool call. This removes the mounted message/tool widgets, but AgentBridge still keeps _streaming_bubble and pending tool widget references, so subsequent chunks/results update detached widgets and the rest of the current response disappears from the chat log. Guard this action while the status is working/streaming/waiting, or reset the bridge state when clearing.

Summary
.envmodel and package version before agent initialization./help,/clear,/skills,/model, and/exit, including filtering, arrow-key navigation, and Tab completion.Why
The previous TUI felt heavy and did not match the smoother command-agent interaction expected from modern terminal coding assistants. This change keeps the existing Textual stack but makes the first screen quieter, faster to scan, and keyboard-oriented.
