+
+# RPC extension UI protocol
+
+## Extension UI Protocol
+
+Extensions can request user interaction via `ctx.ui.select()`, `ctx.ui.confirm()`, etc. In RPC mode, these are translated into a request/response sub-protocol on top of the base command/event flow.
+
+There are two categories of extension UI methods:
+
+- **Dialog methods** (`select`, `confirm`, `input`, `editor`): emit an `extension_ui_request` on stdout and block until the client sends back an `extension_ui_response` on stdin with the matching `id`.
+- **Fire-and-forget methods** (`notify`, `setStatus`, `setWidget`, `setTitle`, `set_editor_text`): emit an `extension_ui_request` on stdout but do not expect a response. The client can display the information or ignore it.
+
+If a dialog method includes a `timeout` field, the agent-side will auto-resolve with a default value when the timeout expires. The client does not need to track timeouts.
+
+Some `ExtensionUIContext` methods are not supported or degraded in RPC mode because they require direct TUI access:
+- `custom()` returns `undefined`
+- `setWorkingMessage()`, `setWorkingIndicator()`, `setFooter()`, `setHeader()`, `setEditorComponent()` are no-ops
+- `getEditorText()` returns `""`
+- `setToolsExpanded()` and `getToolsExpanded()` maintain context-local expansion state; `getChatRenderSettings().toolOutputExpanded` reports the same value. A same-value `setToolsExpanded()` call is a no-op and does not request a custom-UI render. This state is not sent through the client extension-UI protocol.
+- `pasteToEditor()` delegates to `setEditorText()` (no paste/collapse handling)
+- `getAllThemes()` returns `[]`
+- `getTheme()` returns `undefined`
+- `setTheme()` returns `{ success: false, error: "..." }`
+
+Note: `ctx.mode` is `"rpc"` and `ctx.hasUI` is `true` in RPC mode because the dialog and fire-and-forget methods are functional via the extension UI sub-protocol. Use `ctx.mode === "tui"` to guard TUI-specific features like `custom()` that require a real terminal.
+
+### Extension UI Requests (stdout)
+
+All requests have `type: "extension_ui_request"`, a unique `id`, and a `method` field.
+
+#### select
+
+Prompt the user to choose from a list. Dialog methods with a `timeout` field include the timeout in milliseconds; the agent auto-resolves with `undefined` if the client doesn't respond in time.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-1",
+  "method": "select",
+  "title": "Allow dangerous command?",
+  "options": ["Allow", "Block"],
+  "timeout": 10000
+}
+```
+
+Expected response: `extension_ui_response` with `value` (the selected option string) or `cancelled: true`.
+
+#### confirm
+
+Prompt the user for yes/no confirmation.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-2",
+  "method": "confirm",
+  "title": "Clear session?",
+  "message": "All messages will be lost.",
+  "timeout": 5000
+}
+```
+
+Expected response: `extension_ui_response` with `confirmed: true/false` or `cancelled: true`.
+
+#### input
+
+Prompt the user for free-form text.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-3",
+  "method": "input",
+  "title": "Enter a value",
+  "placeholder": "type something..."
+}
+```
+
+Expected response: `extension_ui_response` with `value` (the entered text) or `cancelled: true`.
+
+#### editor
+
+Open a multi-line text editor with optional prefilled content.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-4",
+  "method": "editor",
+  "title": "Edit some text",
+  "prefill": "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"
+}
+```
+
+Expected response: `extension_ui_response` with `value` (the edited text) or `cancelled: true`.
+
+#### notify
+
+Display a notification. Fire-and-forget, no response expected.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-5",
+  "method": "notify",
+  "message": "Command blocked by user",
+  "notifyType": "warning"
+}
+```
+
+The `notifyType` field is `"info"`, `"warning"`, or `"error"`. Defaults to `"info"` if omitted.
+
+#### setStatus
+
+Set or clear a status entry in the footer/status bar. Fire-and-forget.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-6",
+  "method": "setStatus",
+  "statusKey": "my-ext",
+  "statusText": "Turn 3 running..."
+}
+```
+
+Send `statusText: undefined` (or omit it) to clear the status entry for that key.
+
+#### setWidget
+
+Set or clear a widget (block of text lines) displayed above or below the editor. Fire-and-forget.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-7",
+  "method": "setWidget",
+  "widgetKey": "my-ext",
+  "widgetLines": ["--- My Widget ---", "Line 1", "Line 2"],
+  "widgetPlacement": "aboveEditor"
+}
+```
+
+Send `widgetLines: undefined` (or omit it) to clear the widget. The `widgetPlacement` field is `"aboveEditor"` (default) or `"belowEditor"`. Only string arrays are supported in RPC mode; component factories are ignored.
+
+#### setTitle
+
+Set the terminal window/tab title. Fire-and-forget.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-8",
+  "method": "setTitle",
+  "title": "atomic - my project"
+}
+```
+
+#### set_editor_text
+
+Set the text in the input editor. Fire-and-forget.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "extension_ui_request",
+  "id": "uuid-9",
+  "method": "set_editor_text",
+  "text": "prefilled text for the user"
+}
+```
+
+### Extension UI Responses (stdin)
+
+Responses are sent for dialog methods only (`select`, `confirm`, `input`, `editor`). The `id` must match the request.
+
+#### Value response (select, input, editor)
+
+```json
+{"type": "extension_ui_response", "id": "uuid-1", "value": "Allow"}
+```
+
+#### Confirmation response (confirm)
+
+```json
+{"type": "extension_ui_response", "id": "uuid-2", "confirmed": true}
+```
+
+#### Cancellation response (any dialog)
+
+Dismiss any dialog method. The extension receives `undefined` (for select/input/editor) or `false` (for confirm).
+
+```json
+{"type": "extension_ui_response", "id": "uuid-3", "cancelled": true}
+```
