+# Tamboui TUI Migration
+
+- **Status:** draft
+- **Owner:** kami
+- **Date:** 2026-05-17
+- **Relates to:** `docs/plans/2026-05-17-tui-refactor.md`, `docs/plans/2026-05-17-tui-refactor.progress.md`
+- **Supersedes:** Mosaic-based renderer in `apps/tui`
+
+## Motivation
+
+The current TUI renderer is built on Mosaic 0.18. Mosaic is a Compose-for-terminal runtime
+that has carried us through the initial event-sourced TUI but caps the level of polish we
+can ship:
+
+- No cell buffer — every frame is a string we hand-assemble.
+- No widget catalog (no list, paragraph, table, scrollbar).
+- No focus or mouse infrastructure.
+- No scroll regions or viewport math.
+- No real layout engine — we hand-draw borders and pad rows.
+
+The recent TUI refactor (Tasks 2.1–2.3 in the progress log) deliberately split the app
+into renderer-agnostic subsystems: `input/`, `reducer/`, `state/`, and `ws/` no longer
+depend on Mosaic. The renderer surface is now small enough to swap.
+
+A spike on a feature branch (now folded into `master`) proved that tamboui hosts the
+existing `RootReducer` and `TuiState` without changes. The working spike lives at
+`apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/spike/SpikeMain.kt` (~218 lines) and is
+the canonical reference for the migration.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Replace Mosaic with tamboui as the renderer for `apps/tui`.
+- Preserve current UX: status bar, session list with filter, approval flow, steering
+  input, reconnect countdown.
+- Keep `state/`, `reducer/`, `ws/`, and `input/` (minus the Mosaic key mapper)
+  untouched. The renderer-agnostic core stays renderer-agnostic.
+- Land the migration on the current `0.2.1-SNAPSHOT` line of tamboui without forking.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- No changes to the WebSocket protocol or `TuiWsClient` flows.
+- No reducer or state-shape changes.
+- No new features. The scrollable log work in Task 4.1 of the progress log stays its
+  own task and should be redone on top of tamboui rather than ported.
+- No fork of tamboui to extend its API. Fork-to-pin is the only sanctioned escape hatch
+  if upstream snapshot churn breaks us.
+- No mouse, no theming engine, no devtools, no snapshot tests for widgets.
+
+## Library Facts (pin these)
+
+### Gradle coordinates (Groovy DSL)
+
+```groovy
+repositories {
+    maven {
+        url 'https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/'
+        mavenContent { snapshotsOnly() }
+    }
+}
+configurations.all {
+    resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
+}
+dependencies {
+    implementation platform('dev.tamboui:tamboui-bom:0.2.1-SNAPSHOT')
+    implementation 'dev.tamboui:tamboui-tui'
+    implementation 'dev.tamboui:tamboui-widgets'
+    implementation 'dev.tamboui:tamboui-core'
+    runtimeOnly    'dev.tamboui:tamboui-jline3-backend'
+}
+```
+
+### Maturity
+
+- License: MIT.
+- Distribution: snapshot-only.
+- API stability: experimental, "APIs may/will change."
+- Bytecode: Java 8. Multi-release jar; `META-INF/versions/11` is module-info only.
+- JDK 21 (our toolchain) is fine.
+
+### Stability strategy
+
+Stay on `0.2.1-SNAPSHOT`. If upstream breaks us, **fork-to-pin** (clone the upstream
+repo at the known-good commit, `publishToMavenLocal`, swap coordinates). Do **not**
+fork-to-extend — tamboui is a TUI framework project, not part of correx's scope.

+
+## Verified Tamboui API
+
+These are the only APIs the migration needs. Implementer agents should not `javap`
+jars or browse upstream; treat this section as authoritative.
+
+### Runner
+
+- `dev.tamboui.tui.TuiRunner` — `TuiRunner.create()` returns an `AutoCloseable`.
+- Use `TuiRunner.create().use { runner -> runner.run(handler, renderer) }`.
+- Defaults come from `TuiConfig.defaults()`: rawMode=true, alternateScreen=true,
+  hideCursor=true, mouseCapture=false, pollTimeout=40ms, tickRate=40ms,
+  shutdownHook=true.
+- `runner.quit()` exits the event loop.
+- `runner.runOnRenderThread(Runnable)` / `runner.runLater(Runnable)` post work from
+  other threads onto the render thread.
+
+### Event handler and renderer SAMs
+
+- `dev.tamboui.tui.EventHandler` — `boolean handle(Event, TuiRunner)`. Return `true`
+  to consume.
+- `dev.tamboui.tui.Renderer` — `void render(Frame)`.
+- Both callbacks run on the single render thread; a plain `var state` field is
+  thread-safe as long as nothing else mutates it.
+
+### Events
+
+- `dev.tamboui.tui.event.Event` (sealed) with variants `KeyEvent`, `MouseEvent`,
+  `ResizeEvent`, `TickEvent`.
+- `KeyEvent` API: `code(): KeyCode`, `character(): Char`, `hasCtrl()`, `hasAlt()`,
+  `hasShift()`, `isCtrlC()`, `isKey(KeyCode)`, `isCharIgnoreCase(Char)`.
+- `KeyCode` enum: `UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, ENTER, ESCAPE, BACKSPACE, TAB, CHAR, ...`.
+
+### Frame and layout
+
+- `dev.tamboui.terminal.Frame` (not `dev.tamboui.tui.Frame`).
+  - `area(): Rect`, `width(): int`, `height(): int`.
+  - `renderWidget(Widget, Rect)`.
+  - `<S> renderStatefulWidget(StatefulWidget<S>, Rect, S)`.
+- `dev.tamboui.layout.Rect(x, y, w, h)`; `x()/y()/width()/height()` are methods.
+- `dev.tamboui.layout.Layout` builder:
+  `Layout.vertical()/horizontal().constraints(Constraint.length(n), Constraint.fill(), Constraint.ratio(a,b)).spacing(n).split(area)` returns `List<Rect>`.
+  Manual `Rect` arithmetic is fine for trivial splits.
+
+### Widgets
+
+- `dev.tamboui.widgets.block.Block` — `Block.builder().title(String|Title)
+  .titleBottom(...).borders(Borders.ALL).borderType(BorderType.ROUNDED|PLAIN|DOUBLE|THICK)
+  .style(Style).borderStyle(Style).borderColor(Color).build()`. **Block has no
+  `.widget(...)` method.** Other widgets attach a Block via *their* `.block(...)`.
+- `dev.tamboui.widgets.paragraph.Paragraph` — `Paragraph.from(String|Line|Text)`
+  factory and `Paragraph.builder().text(String|Line|Text).style(Style).left()/center()/right()
+  .block(Block).foreground(Color).background(Color).build()`.
+- `dev.tamboui.widgets.list.ListWidget` — `StatefulWidget<ListState>`. Builder:
+  `.items(vararg String | vararg ListItem | List<SizedWidget>)`, `.block(Block)`,
+  `.style(Style)` (unselected), `.highlightStyle(Style)` (selected),
+  `.highlightSymbol(String|Line)`, `.scrollbarThumbStyle(Style)`,
+  `.scrollbarTrackStyle(Style)`, `.itemStyleResolver(BiFunction<Int,Int,Style>)`.
+- `dev.tamboui.widgets.list.ListState` — *mutable*. `select(Integer): void`,
+  `selectNext(int total)`, `selectPrevious()`. Create once, mutate per frame.
+- `dev.tamboui.widgets.list.ListItem.from(Line)` builds a styled list row.
+
+### Styled text
+
+- `dev.tamboui.text.Span` — `Span.styled(String, Style)`, `Span.raw(String)`.
+  Chainable: `.bold()`, `.italic()`, `.fg(Color)`, named-color shortcuts
+  `.red()/.green()/.cyan()/...`.
+- `dev.tamboui.text.Line` — `Line.from(vararg Span | List<Span>)`,
+  `Line.styled(String, Style)`. Chainable: `.bold()`, `.fg(Color)`,
+  `.alignment(LEFT|CENTER|RIGHT)`, `.append(Span)`.
+- `dev.tamboui.text.Text.from(Line)` wraps a `Line` for
+  `Paragraph.Builder.text(Text)`.
+
+### Style and Color
+
+- `dev.tamboui.style.Style.create()` builder. Modifiers: `.bold()/.dim()/.italic()
+  /.underlined()/.slowBlink()/.rapidBlink()/.reversed()/.hidden()/.crossedOut()`
+  and their `.notXxx()` negations. Colors: `.fg(Color)/.bg(Color)/.underlineColor(Color)`.
+  Named shortcuts: `.black()/.red()/.green()/.yellow()/.blue()/.magenta()/.cyan()
+  /.white()/.gray()`. Background shortcuts: `.onRed()/.onGreen()/...`.
+  Constant: `Style.EMPTY`.
+- `dev.tamboui.style.Color` — constants `BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, MAGENTA,
+  CYAN, WHITE, GRAY, DARK_GRAY, LIGHT_RED, LIGHT_GREEN, LIGHT_YELLOW, LIGHT_BLUE,
+  LIGHT_MAGENTA, LIGHT_CYAN, BRIGHT_WHITE, RESET`. Factories: `Color.rgb(r,g,b)`,
+  `Color.hex("#RRGGBB")`, `Color.indexed(0..255)`.
+- `dev.tamboui.style.Modifier` enum: `NORMAL, BOLD, DIM, ITALIC, UNDERLINED,
+  SLOW_BLINK, RAPID_BLINK, REVERSED, HIDDEN, CROSSED_OUT`.
+
+## Gradle Launch — Critical
+
+**`./gradlew run` and any `JavaExec`-backed task are unsupported.** The Gradle daemon
+has no TTY, JLine falls back to a dumb terminal, escape sequences leak, and rendering
+breaks. The supported pattern is `installDist` + the generated bin script in a real
+terminal.
+
+Current wiring in `apps/tui/build.gradle` already follows this pattern for the spike;
+keep it but rename the launcher from `spike` to `tui`:
+
+```groovy
+tasks.register('tuiStartScripts', CreateStartScripts) {
+    mainClass = 'com.correx.apps.tui.TuiAppKt'
+    applicationName = 'tui'
+    outputDir = file("$buildDir/scripts-tui")
+    classpath = tasks.named('startScripts').get().classpath
+}
+distributions.named('main').configure {
+    contents { from(tasks.named('tuiStartScripts')) { into 'bin' } }
+}
+```
+
+Launch:
+`./gradlew :apps:tui:installDist && ./apps/tui/build/install/tui/bin/tui`.
+
+## Integration Patterns (proven by the spike)
+
+1. **Key mapping.** Translate tamboui `KeyEvent` into the domain `KeyEvent`
+   (`com.correx.apps.tui.KeyEvent`, not under `input/`). The mapper is
+   **mode-aware**: in `InputMode.None`, character keys map to semantic intents
+   (`'q' → Quit`, `'n' → NewSession`, etc.); in every other mode, character
+   keys map to `CharInput(ch)` so they reach the input buffer. This fixes a
+   latent Mosaic bug (`MosaicKeyMapper` is unconditional and silently swallows
+   `q/n/c/a/r/s/'/'` in input modes). The migration must preserve the
+   mode-aware shape and the existing Mosaic mapper should be deleted, not
+   ported verbatim.
+
+   ```kotlin
+   private fun mapKey(e: TambouiKeyEvent, mode: InputMode): DomainKeyEvent? {
+       if (e.isCtrlC()) return DomainKeyEvent.Quit
+       if (e.hasCtrl() || e.hasAlt()) return null
+       return when (e.code()) {
+           KeyCode.UP -> DomainKeyEvent.NavUp
+           KeyCode.DOWN -> DomainKeyEvent.NavDown
+           KeyCode.ENTER -> DomainKeyEvent.Enter
+           KeyCode.ESCAPE -> DomainKeyEvent.Escape
+           KeyCode.BACKSPACE -> DomainKeyEvent.Backspace
+           KeyCode.TAB -> DomainKeyEvent.Filter
+           KeyCode.CHAR -> {
+               val ch = e.character()
+               if (ch.isISOControl()) return null
+               if (mode != InputMode.None) return DomainKeyEvent.CharInput(ch)
+               when (ch) {
+                   'q' -> DomainKeyEvent.Quit
+                   'n' -> DomainKeyEvent.NewSession
+                   'c' -> DomainKeyEvent.Cancel
+                   'a' -> DomainKeyEvent.Approve
+                   'r' -> DomainKeyEvent.Reject
+                   's' -> DomainKeyEvent.Steer
+                   '/' -> DomainKeyEvent.Filter
+                   else -> DomainKeyEvent.CharInput(ch)
+               }
+           }
+           else -> null
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+2. **Dispatch loop.** `dispatch(action)` calls
+   `RootReducer.reduce(state, action)`, assigns the returned state, and discards
+   effects for now. Real effect plumbing is its own task.
+3. **List state sync.** Each frame, compute the visual index of
+   `state.sessions.selectedId` within the filtered list and call
+   `listState.select(idx)` before `renderStatefulWidget`. Domain state owns
+   selection; `ListState` is a view detail.
+4. **Layout shape.** `[status 1 row][sessions fill][input 1 row when mode != None]
+   [help 1 row dim]`.
+5. **KeyResolver signature.** `KeyResolver.resolve(key, mode, inputText)` takes
+   three arguments; `inputText` is required because `SubmitInput` is suppressed
+   when the input is blank.
+
+See `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/spike/SpikeMain.kt` for a working
+end-to-end example.
+
+## Scope
+
+### Files rewritten
+
+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/TuiApp.kt`
+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/components/StatusBar.kt`
+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/components/SessionList.kt`

+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/components/ApprovalPanel.kt`
+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/components/ActiveSession.kt`
+
+### Files deleted
+
+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/components/Panel.kt` — tamboui
+  `Block` replaces it.
+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/components/TerminalSize.kt` —
+  tamboui owns terminal dimensions.
+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/input/MosaicKeyMapper.kt` —
+  replaced by a tamboui mapper.
+- `apps/tui/src/main/kotlin/com/correx/apps/tui/spike/SpikeMain.kt` — folded
+  into `TuiApp.kt` and removed at the end of the migration.
+
+### Files replaced
+
+- `input/MosaicKeyMapper.kt` → `input/TambouiKeyMapper.kt` (or folded into
+  `TuiApp.kt` if the mapper stays small).
+
+### Files untouched
+
+- Everything under `state/`, `reducer/`, `ws/`.
+- `input/Action.kt`, `input/KeyResolver.kt`, the domain `input/KeyEvent.kt`.
+
+### Build changes
+
+- Drop `com.jakewharton.mosaic:mosaic-runtime`.
+- Drop `org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose` from the `apps/tui` plugins list.
+- Keep ktor, coroutines, kotlinx.serialization.
+- Add the tamboui dependencies and snapshot repo block above.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Single-threaded render thread owns `var state: TuiState`.
+- `EventHandler` reads tamboui events, maps them to domain actions, calls
+  `RootReducer.reduce`, assigns the next state, and dispatches effects to the
+  existing `EffectDispatcher` via a coroutine scope.
+- `Renderer` reads the current `state` and renders without side effects.
+- `TuiWsClient` keeps its `SharedFlow<ServerMessage>` and
+  `SharedFlow<ConnectionEvent>`. A coroutine collects them and posts state
+  transitions back to the render thread via `runner.runOnRenderThread { ... }`.
+  Pick one bridging mechanism (runOnRenderThread vs. a channel polled on tick)
+  and use it consistently; the spike uses `runOnRenderThread`.
+
+### Skeleton
+
+```kotlin
+fun main() = runBlocking {
+    var state = TuiState()
+    val ws = TuiWsClient(host = "localhost", port = 8080)
+    val effectScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO + SupervisorJob())
+
+    TuiRunner.create().use { runner ->
+        fun dispatch(action: Action) {
+            val (next, effects) = RootReducer.reduce(state, action)
+            state = next
+            effects.forEach { effectScope.launch { EffectDispatcher(ws, { runner.quit() }).dispatch(it) } }
+        }
+
+        // WS message bridge: collected on IO, posted to render thread.
+        launch {
+            ws.messages.collect { msg ->
+                runner.runOnRenderThread { dispatch(Action.ServerEventReceived(msg)) }
+            }
+        }
+        launch {
+            ws.connection.collect { ev ->
+                val action = when (ev) {
+                    is ConnectionEvent.Connected -> Action.Connected
+                    is ConnectionEvent.Disconnected -> Action.Disconnected
+                    is ConnectionEvent.RetryScheduled -> Action.RetryScheduled(ev.attempt, ev.nextRetryAtMs)
+                }
+                runner.runOnRenderThread { dispatch(action) }
+            }
+        }
+        launch { ws.connect() }
+
+        val handler = EventHandler { event, _ ->
+            if (event is TambouiKeyEvent) {
+                mapKey(event, state.input.mode)
+                    ?.let { KeyResolver.resolve(it, state.input.mode, state.input.text) }
+                    ?.let(::dispatch)
+            }
+            true
+        }
+        val renderer = Renderer { frame -> render(frame, state) }
+        runner.run(handler, renderer)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Task Breakdown
+
+Each task is intentionally narrow so `/plan` can decompose it further. Numbers
+are sequencing hints, not commitments.
+
+### T1 — Build wiring
+
+Drop Mosaic and the Compose plugin from `apps/tui/build.gradle`. Add the tamboui
+snapshot repo and dependencies. Rename the `spike` start script to `tui` and
+point it at the new `TuiAppKt` main class. Smoke-test `installDist` produces a
+working bin script (script runs and exits cleanly on the existing spike main as
+a placeholder).
+
+### T2 — Tamboui key mapper
+
+Lift the spike's `mapKey` into `input/TambouiKeyMapper.kt`. Add unit tests
+covering every `(KeyCode, character, modifiers)` combination that
+`KeyResolver.resolve` consumes across every `InputMode`. Tests are pure JVM and
+do not start the runner.
+
+### T3 — TuiApp shell
+
+Rewrite `TuiApp.kt` around `TuiRunner.create().use { ... }`. Wire the event
+handler dispatch loop, the render-thread state cell, and the coroutine bridges
+for WS messages, connection events, and effects. Preserve the existing
+`EffectDispatcher` contract.
+
+### T4 — StatusBar
+
+Rewrite as a function returning a `Line` containing the connection badge and
+provider/session segments. Use `Span.styled` + named-color shortcuts; no
+manual padding.
+
+### T5 — SessionList
+
+Rewrite as a `ListWidget` with `ListItem.from(Line)` rows. Per-status color
+comes from `Style.create().<color>()`. Selection highlight via
+`.highlightStyle(...)` and `.highlightSymbol(...)`. Drive selection from
+domain state per Integration Pattern 3.
+
+**Status color mapping** (from `formatItem` in the spike):
+- `running` → `Style.create().green()`
+- `error` → `Style.create().red()`
+- `paused` → `Style.create().yellow()`
+- `completed` → `Style.create().dim().gray()`
+- `idle` → `Style.create().cyan()`
+- (default/unknown) → `Span.raw(s.status)` (no color)
+
+**Row composition** (from spike `formatItem`):
+- `[id]` segment: dim gray style, ID truncated to 6 chars, e.g., `Span.styled("[s1a2b3]", dimStyle)`
+- workflow ID segment: default style, quoted, e.g., `"wf-build-frontend"`
+- status segment: per-status color (see table above)
+- stage segment (if present): default style, e.g., ` stage compile`
+- ago segment: dim gray style, e.g., `12s ago` via `formatAgo()`
+
+**List widget configuration**:
+- `.highlightSymbol("▶ ")` — highlight prefix
+- `.highlightStyle(Style.create().cyan().reversed())` — selection styling
+
+### T6 — InputBar
+
+Rewrite as a one-row paragraph with a mode-tinted prompt prefix and a visible
+cursor. Hide when `mode == None`.
+
+### T7 — ApprovalPanel
+
+Rewrite as a `Block` (rounded borders, accent border color) wrapping a
+`Paragraph` whose body is a styled `Text`. Confirm/cancel hints styled `dim`.
+
+### T8 — ActiveSession / scrollable log
+
+Rewrite the active-session view minimally. Task 4.1 in the progress log
+introduces a real scrollable log; **do that on top of tamboui after this
+migration lands**, not before. Carrying Mosaic-shaped log code into tamboui is
+explicitly wasted work.
+
+### T9 — Delete dead code
+
+Remove `Panel.kt`, `TerminalSize.kt`, `MosaicKeyMapper.kt`, every
+`@Composable` annotation and Mosaic import, and `spike/SpikeMain.kt`. Verify
+no references remain (`grep -r mosaic apps/tui/`).
+
+### T10 — Quality gates
+
+Restore detekt and kover gates on `apps/tui`. Run `./gradlew :apps:tui:check`.
+Smoke-test the produced bin script against a real running `apps/server` and
+walk every UX path (status, list, filter, approval, steering, reconnect).
+
+## Tests
+
+- Reducer and key-mapper tests remain pure JVM and run in CI as today.
+- Render-level tests are out of scope for v1. Tamboui exposes an inspectable
+  `Buffer`, but widget-level snapshot tests are not worth the maintenance cost
+  before the API stabilizes. Manual smoke + the existing reducer coverage are
+  the contract.
+- **Manual smoke is always `installDist` + bin script.** Never `./gradlew run`.
+
+## Risks and Open Questions
+
+- **Snapshot dependency churn.** Mitigation: fork-to-pin if breakage occurs;
+  do not fork-to-extend.
+- **Deferred features.** Mouse, scroll widgets, and richer focus handling are
+  not promised in v1; they belong to a later epic.
+- **Mosaic mapper bug — fixed in the spike, must not regress.** Character
+  keys (`q/n/c/a/r/s/'/'`) were eagerly mapped to semantic intents and
+  silently swallowed inside input modes. The spike's `mapKey` takes the
+  current `InputMode` and only does the semantic translation in
+  `InputMode.None`. T2 must keep this shape and add a regression test.
+- **Effect-dispatch bridging mechanism.** Spike uses `runOnRenderThread`. If
+  back-pressure or ordering becomes a problem, switch to a bounded channel
+  polled on `TickEvent`. Decision deferred to T3.
+
+## Out-of-Scope Follow-ups
+
+- Mouse support.
+- Tree widget for hierarchical workflow view.
+- CSS-like theming.
+- Devtools and widget snapshot testing.
+- Task 4.1 scrollable log (do after migration).
+- Fix for the inherited "char keys swallowed in input mode" bug.
