 /**
- * Installs the mouse feature set on Pi's live renderer prototype.
- *
- * This is the first module that actually touches Pi rather than describing
- * what it would do to it. `installMouse` probes what the running Pi build
- * exposes, logs once if something is missing, and installs each feature gated
- * on exactly its own declared requirement (`capabilities.ts`). Today that is
- * six features across four patches. Two of those methods carry two features
- * each, and in every case the two share a single patch, because the patch
- * registry holds one behaviour per adapter key and a second registration would
- * silently replace the first:
- *
- * `selectionHint`, one patch plus a derived hint:
- * - `copyActiveSelectionToClipboard` — the method Pi 0.84.4's Ctrl+X handler
- *   reaches (`handleCopyCommand` with `preferSelection`). Wrapped so a
- *   selection the clean-copy features recognise copies clean, calling
- *   through for everything else.
- * - The hint is derived, not owned: `activeSelectionHintText()` renders the
- *   live renderer's state — an active selection that is not being
- *   auto-copied (`getCopyOnSelect() === false`) — so select-without-copy is
- *   Pi's own `fullscreenCopyOnSelect`, and this module only tells the user
- *   what to press. The copy key is `app.message.copy` (default ctrl+x),
- *   resolved from Pi's keybinding registry so a rebind shows up in the hint.
- *
- * `clickToExpandTools`, one patch:
- * - `handleSelectionMouseEvent` — watched for a left-button press that landed
- *   on a tool box's `ctrl+o to expand` hint row. On a hit it toggles that one
- *   box and consumes the press, so the click does not also drop a selection
- *   anchor into the box it just opened; every other press, including one
- *   anywhere else inside the same box, calls through and starts a selection as
- *   usual. `tool-box.ts` carries the reasoning for why the hint row is the
- *   only target and why resolution goes through the component tree.
- *
- * `editorWheelScroll`, one patch:
- * - `routeWheel` — Pi's own wheel routing, which knows only about scroll views
- *   and therefore always scrolls the transcript. Wrapped so a notch that landed
- *   on the input box scrolls the *draft* instead, when the draft is taller than
- *   the box. `editor-mouse.ts` carries how the box is located (not where the
- *   plan for this said it would be) and how the live editor is reached; the
- *   scroll itself is `editor-scroll.ts` — see its header for why it lives in
- *   its own module. Every other notch calls through.
- *
- * `editorClickToCaret`, across two shared patches:
- * - `handleSelectionMouseEvent` — a left-button press inside the input box moves
- *   the caret to the character under it, then calls through, so Pi still drops
- *   its selection anchor there and a drag from that point still selects and
- *   highlights as it always did. `editor-caret.ts` carries the screen-to-buffer
- *   arithmetic and why the box's rectangle is not the text.
- * - `handleViewportInput` — backspace or delete over a live selection inside the
+ * Starline's mouse feature set, as a consumer of the `pi-mouse-events`
+ * extension.
+ *
+ * Starline used to install this feature set itself, by wrapping four methods
+ * on `TuiAltScreen.prototype`. It no longer touches any prototype: the
+ * `pi-mouse-events` extension owns that surface now, and everything here
+ * rides on the API it publishes (`mouse/api-consumer.ts` reads it off
+ * `globalThis`). When that extension is not installed there is no fallback —
+ * `installMouseFeaturesOn` is never called, no handler is registered, the
+ * hints derive from nothing, and every mouse feature is simply off. That is
+ * the deal: one owner for the prototype, Starline as a plain consumer.
+ *
+ * The features themselves are unchanged, and each maps onto one API slot:
+ *
+ * `editorWheelScroll` → `addMouseHandler`
+ * - A wheel notch that landed on the input box scrolls the *draft*, when the
+ *   draft is taller than the box. `pi-mouse-events` delivers the notch before
+ *   Pi's built-in wheel routing; consuming it here is what stops the
+ *   transcript from scrolling too. `editor-mouse.ts` carries how the box is
+ *   located and how the live editor is reached; the scroll itself is
+ *   `editor-scroll.ts`.
+ *
+ * `clickToExpandTools` → `addMouseHandler`
+ * - A left-button press anywhere on an expandable component records the
+ *   candidate; when the button is released on the same cell with no motion in
+ *   between — a plain click — that one component is toggled and the release
+ *   is consumed, so the click does not also drop a selection anchor into the
+ *   box it just opened. The press itself is never consumed: a drag that
+ *   starts on a box, hint row included, still selects and copies, a click on
+ *   an OSC 8 link still opens the link, and a second same-cell click inside
+ *   Pi's double-click window stays a word selection. Direction comes from the
+ *   hint row when one is rendered and from the component's own `expanded`
+ *   state otherwise; `tool-box.ts` carries the reasoning and the accepted
+ *   limitation about a box's own output reading like its hint.
+ *
+ * `editorClickToCaret` → `addMouseHandler` + `ctx.ui.onTerminalInput`
+ * - The press half: a left-button press inside the input box moves the caret
+ *   to the character under it and never consumes, so Pi still drops its
+ *   selection anchor there and a drag from that point still selects and
+ *   highlights as it always did. `editor-caret.ts` carries the
+ *   screen-to-buffer arithmetic.
+ * - The keyboard half: backspace or delete over a live selection inside the
  *   input box removes the whole range instead of one character, through the
- *   editor's own `handleForwardDelete` under a single undo snapshot. It runs
- *   *after* the ctrl+c branch and refuses ctrl+c and ctrl+d outright, so the
- *   interrupt and exit chords cannot be swallowed by it from either direction.
- *   Every backspace it does not act on falls through and deletes one character.
- *
- * `editorBufferCopy`, sharing the `copyActiveSelectionToClipboard` patch:
- * - A selection lying inside the input box is copied from the *draft* rather
- *   than from the rendered rows. That is the one place this module builds
- *   clipboard bytes itself, and the reason is that the rendered rows are not
- *   the draft: they carry the rail glyph down the left, the padding each row is
- *   filled out to, and a hard newline wherever the draft happened to wrap.
- *
- * `transcriptCleanCopy`, sharing the same patch:
- * - A selection in the transcript is copied with the chrome two components
- *   paint around their content removed: Starline's user message rails and
- *   border rules, and `pi-toolbox`'s rounded tool box frames. The cleaning
- *   itself is `transcript-copy.ts`, which recognises only those exact markers
- *   and passes everything else through untouched; a selection with no
- *   recognised decoration falls back to Pi's verbatim copy, so nothing that
- *   was clean before changes.
- *
- * Everywhere else the clipboard gets exactly what Pi's own
- * `copyActiveSelectionToClipboard` puts there — see `installMouse` for why frame-free
- * selection is not part of this.
+ *   editor's own `handleForwardDelete` under a single undo snapshot. This
+ *   used to ride the same viewport-input patch as everything else; it is
+ *   keyboard, and `ctx.ui.onTerminalInput` — Pi's official extension input
+ *   listener, which the renderer's mouse handling never swallows — is the
+ *   honest place for it. `isRangeDeleteKey` refuses ctrl+c and ctrl+d
+ *   outright, so the interrupt and exit chords cannot be swallowed by it from
+ *   either direction. Every backspace it does not act on falls through and
+ *   deletes one character.
+ *
+ * `editorBufferCopy` + `transcriptCleanCopy` → `addCopyHandler`
+ * - The copy key's path. A selection lying inside the input box is copied
+ *   from the *draft* rather than from the rendered rows — the rows carry the
+ *   rail glyph, the frame's padding, and a hard newline wherever the draft
+ *   happened to wrap. A selection in the transcript is copied with the chrome
+ *   two components paint around their content removed (Starline's rails and
+ *   border rules, `pi-toolbox`'s rounded frames); the cleaning itself is
+ *   `transcript-copy.ts`, and a selection with no recognised decoration falls
+ *   back to Pi's verbatim copy.
+ *
+ * `selectionHint` → derived, no slot at all
+ * - `activeSelectionHintText()` renders the live renderer's state — an active
+ *   selection that is not being auto-copied (`getCopyOnSelect() === false`) —
+ *   so select-without-copy is Pi's own `fullscreenCopyOnSelect`, and this
+ *   module only tells the user what to press. It is computed on demand at
+ *   render time from the lazily bound renderer reference (`bindReceiver`);
+ *   there is nothing to intercept.
