+**11 ways to get UI on screen:**
+
+| Method | Blocks? | Replaces editor? |
+|--------|---------|-------------------|
+| `ctx.ui.select/confirm/input/editor` | Yes | Temporarily |
+| `ctx.ui.notify` | No | No |
+| `ctx.ui.setStatus` | No | No (footer) |
+| `ctx.ui.setWidget` | No | No |
+| `ctx.ui.setFooter` | No | No (replaces footer) |
+| `ctx.ui.setHeader` | No | No (replaces header) |
+| `ctx.ui.custom()` | Yes | Temporarily |
+| `ctx.ui.custom({overlay})` | Yes | No (renders on top) |
+| `ctx.ui.setEditorComponent` | No | Yes (permanently) |
+| `renderCall/renderResult` | No | No (inline in messages) |
+| `registerMessageRenderer` | No | No (inline in messages) |
+</ui_architecture>
+
+<component_interface>
+Every visual element implements:
+
+```typescript
+interface Component {
+  render(width: number): string[];   // Required — each line ≤ width visible chars
+  handleInput?(data: string): void;  // Optional — receive keyboard input
+  wantsKeyRelease?: boolean;         // Optional — receive key release events (Kitty protocol)
+  invalidate(): void;                // Required — clear cached render state
+}
+```
+
+**Render contract:**
+- Return array of strings, one per line
+- Each string MUST NOT exceed `width` in visible characters
+- ANSI escape codes don't count toward visible width
+- **Styles are reset at end of each line** — reapply per line
+- Return `[]` for zero-height component
+
+**Invalidation contract:**
+- Clear ALL cached render output
+- Clear any pre-baked themed strings
+- Call `super.invalidate()` if extending a built-in component
+</component_interface>
+
+<dialogs>
+Blocking dialog methods on `ctx.ui`:
+
+```typescript
+const choice = await ctx.ui.select("Pick one:", ["A", "B", "C"]);       // string | undefined
+const ok = await ctx.ui.confirm("Delete?", "This cannot be undone");    // boolean
+const name = await ctx.ui.input("Name:", "placeholder");                // string | undefined
+const text = await ctx.ui.editor("Edit:", "prefilled text");            // string | undefined
+
+// Timed auto-dismiss with countdown
+const ok = await ctx.ui.confirm("Proceed?", "Auto-continues in 5s", { timeout: 5000 });
+// Returns false on timeout, undefined for select/input
+
+// Manual dismissal with AbortSignal (distinguish timeout from cancel)
+const controller = new AbortController();
+const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000);
+const ok = await ctx.ui.confirm("Timed", "Auto-cancels in 5s", { signal: controller.signal });
+clearTimeout(timeoutId);
+if (controller.signal.aborted) { /* timed out */ }
+```
+</dialogs>
+
+<persistent_ui>
+```typescript
+// Footer status (multiple extensions can set independent entries)
+ctx.ui.setStatus("my-ext", "● Active");
+ctx.ui.setStatus("my-ext", undefined);  // Clear
+
+// Widgets
+ctx.ui.setWidget("my-id", ["Line 1", "Line 2"]);                       // Above editor
+ctx.ui.setWidget("my-id", ["Below"], { placement: "belowEditor" });    // Below editor
+ctx.ui.setWidget("my-id", (_tui, theme) => ({                          // Themed
+  render: () => [theme.fg("accent", "Styled")],
+  invalidate: () => {},
+}));
+ctx.ui.setWidget("my-id", undefined);  // Clear
+
+// Working message during streaming
+ctx.ui.setWorkingMessage("Analyzing code...");
+ctx.ui.setWorkingMessage();  // Restore default
+
+// Custom footer (full replacement)
+ctx.ui.setFooter((tui, theme, footerData) => ({
+  render(width) {
+    const branch = footerData.getGitBranch();          // Only available here
+    const statuses = footerData.getExtensionStatuses(); // All setStatus values
+    return [truncateToWidth(`${branch} | model`, width)];
+  },
+  invalidate() {},
+  dispose: footerData.onBranchChange(() => tui.requestRender()),  // Reactive
+}));
+ctx.ui.setFooter(undefined);  // Restore default
+
+// Custom header
+ctx.ui.setHeader((tui, theme) => ({
+  render(width) { return [theme.fg("accent", theme.bold("My Header"))]; },
+  invalidate() {},
+}));
+
+// Editor control
+ctx.ui.setEditorText("Prefill");
+const current = ctx.ui.getEditorText();
+ctx.ui.pasteToEditor("pasted content");  // Triggers paste handling
+
+// Tool expansion
+ctx.ui.setToolsExpanded(true);
+const expanded = ctx.ui.getToolsExpanded();
+
+// Theme management
+const themes = ctx.ui.getAllThemes();
+ctx.ui.setTheme("light");
+ctx.ui.theme.fg("accent", "text");  // Access current theme
+```
+</persistent_ui>
+
+<custom_components>
+`ctx.ui.custom()` temporarily replaces the editor. Returns a value when `done()` is called.
+
+**Factory callback args:**
+
+| Argument | Type | Purpose |
+|----------|------|---------|
+| `tui` | `TUI` | `tui.requestRender()` triggers re-render after state changes |
+| `theme` | `Theme` | Current theme for styling |
+| `keybindings` | `KeybindingsManager` | App keybinding config |
+| `done` | `(value: T) => void` | Close component and return value |
+
+**Inline pattern:**
+```typescript
+const result = await ctx.ui.custom<string | null>((tui, theme, keybindings, done) => ({
+  render(width: number): string[] {
+    return [truncateToWidth("Press Enter to confirm, Escape to cancel", width)];
+  },
+  handleInput(data: string) {
+    if (matchesKey(data, Key.enter)) done("confirmed");
+    if (matchesKey(data, Key.escape)) done(null);
+  },
+  invalidate() {},
+}));
+```
+
+**Class-based pattern (recommended for complex UI):**
+```typescript
+class MyComponent {
+  private selected = 0;
+  private cachedWidth?: number;
+  private cachedLines?: string[];
+
+  constructor(
+    private tui: { requestRender: () => void },
+    private theme: Theme,
+    private items: string[],
+    private done: (value: string | null) => void,
+  ) {}
+
+  handleInput(data: string) {
+    if (matchesKey(data, Key.up) && this.selected > 0) this.selected--;
+    else if (matchesKey(data, Key.down) && this.selected < this.items.length - 1) this.selected++;
+    else if (matchesKey(data, Key.enter)) { this.done(this.items[this.selected]); return; }
+    else if (matchesKey(data, Key.escape)) { this.done(null); return; }
+    else return;
+    this.invalidate();
+    this.tui.requestRender();
+  }
+
+  render(width: number): string[] {
+    if (this.cachedLines && this.cachedWidth === width) return this.cachedLines;
+    this.cachedLines = this.items.map((item, i) =>
+      truncateToWidth((i === this.selected ? "> " : "  ") + item, width)
+    );
+    this.cachedWidth = width;
+    return this.cachedLines;
+  }
+
+  invalidate() { this.cachedWidth = undefined; this.cachedLines = undefined; }
+}
+
+const result = await ctx.ui.custom<string | null>((tui, theme, _kb, done) =>
+  new MyComponent(tui, theme, ["A", "B", "C"], done)
+);
+```
+
+**Composing with built-in components:**
+```typescript
+const result = await ctx.ui.custom<string | null>((tui, theme, _kb, done) => {
+  const container = new Container();
+  container.addChild(new DynamicBorder((s: string) => theme.fg("accent", s)));
+  container.addChild(new Text(theme.fg("accent", theme.bold("Title")), 1, 0));
+
+  const selectList = new SelectList(items, 10, {
+    selectedPrefix: (t) => theme.fg("accent", t),
+    selectedText: (t) => theme.fg("accent", t),
+    description: (t) => theme.fg("muted", t),
+    scrollInfo: (t) => theme.fg("dim", t),
+    noMatch: (t) => theme.fg("warning", t),
+  });
+  selectList.onSelect = (item) => done(item.value);
+  selectList.onCancel = () => done(null);
+  container.addChild(selectList);
+
+  return {
+    render: (w) => container.render(w),
+    invalidate: () => container.invalidate(),
+    handleInput: (data) => { selectList.handleInput(data); tui.requestRender(); },
+  };
+});
+```
+</custom_components>
+
+<overlays>
+Floating modals rendered on top of everything:
+
+```typescript
+const result = await ctx.ui.custom<string | null>(
+  (tui, theme, _kb, done) => new MyDialog({ onClose: done }),
+  {
+    overlay: true,
+    overlayOptions: {
+      anchor: "center",         // 9 positions (see below)
+      width: "50%",             // number = columns, string = percentage
+      minWidth: 40,
+      maxHeight: "80%",
+      margin: 2,                // All sides, or { top, right, bottom, left }
+      offsetX: 0, offsetY: 0,  // Fine-tune position
+      visible: (w, h) => w >= 80,  // Hide on narrow terminals
+    },
+    onHandle: (handle) => {
+      // handle.setHidden(true/false) — temporarily hide
+      // handle.hide() — permanently remove
+    },
+  }
+);
+```
+
+**Anchor positions:**
+```
+top-left      top-center      top-right
+left-center      center      right-center
+bottom-left  bottom-center  bottom-right
+```
+
+**Stacked overlays:** Multiple overlays stack (newest on top). Closing one gives focus to the one below.
+
+**⚠️ Overlay lifecycle:** Components are disposed when closed. Never reuse references — create fresh instances each time.
+</overlays>
+
+<custom_editor>
+Replace the main input editor permanently:
+
+```typescript
+import { CustomEditor } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";
+
+class VimEditor extends CustomEditor {
+  private mode: "normal" | "insert" = "insert";
+
+  handleInput(data: string): void {
+    if (matchesKey(data, "escape") && this.mode === "insert") {
+      this.mode = "normal"; return;
+    }
+    if (this.mode === "insert") { super.handleInput(data); return; }
+    switch (data) {
+      case "i": this.mode = "insert"; return;
+      case "h": super.handleInput("\x1b[D"); return;  // Left
+      case "j": super.handleInput("\x1b[B"); return;  // Down
+      case "k": super.handleInput("\x1b[A"); return;  // Up
+      case "l": super.handleInput("\x1b[C"); return;  // Right
+    }
+    if (data.length === 1 && data.charCodeAt(0) >= 32) return;  // Block printable in normal
+    super.handleInput(data);
+  }
+}
+
+ctx.ui.setEditorComponent((_tui, theme, keybindings) => new VimEditor(theme, keybindings));
+ctx.ui.setEditorComponent(undefined);  // Restore default
+```
+
+**Critical:** Extend `CustomEditor` (NOT `Editor`) to get app keybindings (escape to abort, ctrl+d, model switching).
+</custom_editor>
+
+<built_in_components>
+**From `@mariozechner/pi-tui`:**
+
+| Component | Constructor | Purpose |
+|-----------|-------------|---------|
+| `Text` | `new Text(content, paddingX, paddingY, bgFn?)` | Multi-line text with word wrap |
+| `Box` | `new Box(paddingX, paddingY, bgFn)` | Container with padding+background, `.addChild()` |
+| `Container` | `new Container()` | Vertical stack, `.addChild()`, `.removeChild()`, `.clear()` |
+| `Spacer` | `new Spacer(lines)` | Empty vertical space |
+| `Markdown` | `new Markdown(content, padX, padY, getMarkdownTheme())` | Rendered markdown with syntax highlighting |
+| `Image` | `new Image(base64, mimeType, theme, opts?)` | Image rendering (Kitty, iTerm2) |
+| `SelectList` | `new SelectList(items, maxVisible, themeOpts)` | Interactive selection with search and scrolling |
+| `SettingsList` | `new SettingsList(items, maxVisible, theme, onChange, onClose, opts?)` | Toggle settings with left/right arrows |
+| `Input` | `new Input()` | Text input field |
+| `Editor` | `new Editor(tui, editorTheme)` | Multi-line editor with undo |
+
+**SelectList usage:**
+```typescript
+const items: SelectItem[] = [
+  { value: "opt1", label: "Option 1", description: "First option" },
+  { value: "opt2", label: "Option 2" },
+];
+const selectList = new SelectList(items, 10, {
+  selectedPrefix: (t) => theme.fg("accent", t),
+  selectedText: (t) => theme.fg("accent", t),
+  description: (t) => theme.fg("muted", t),
+  scrollInfo: (t) => theme.fg("dim", t),
+  noMatch: (t) => theme.fg("warning", t),
+});
+selectList.onSelect = (item) => { /* item.value */ };
+selectList.onCancel = () => { /* escape pressed */ };
+```
+
+**SettingsList usage:**
+```typescript
+const items: SettingItem[] = [
+  { id: "verbose", label: "Verbose mode", currentValue: "off", values: ["on", "off"] },
+  { id: "theme", label: "Theme", currentValue: "dark", values: ["dark", "light", "auto"] },
+];
+const settings = new SettingsList(items, 15, getSettingsListTheme(),
+  (id, newValue) => { /* setting changed */ },
+  () => { /* close requested */ },
+  { enableSearch: true },
+);
+```
+
+**From `@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent`:**
+
+| Component | Constructor | Purpose |
+|-----------|-------------|---------|
+| `DynamicBorder` | `new DynamicBorder((s: string) => theme.fg("accent", s))` | Border line |
+| `BorderedLoader` | — | Spinner with cancel support |
+| `CustomEditor` | `new CustomEditor(theme, keybindings)` | Base class for custom editors |
+</built_in_components>
+
+<keyboard_input>
+```typescript
+import { matchesKey, Key } from "@mariozechner/pi-tui";
+
+handleInput(data: string) {
+  // Basic keys
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.up)) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.down)) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.enter)) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.escape)) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.tab)) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.space)) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.backspace)) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.home)) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.end)) {}
+
+  // With modifiers
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.ctrl("c"))) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.shift("tab"))) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.alt("left"))) {}
+  if (matchesKey(data, Key.ctrlShift("p"))) {}
+
+  // String format also works: "enter", "ctrl+c", "shift+tab"
+
+  // Printable character detection
+  if (data.length === 1 && data.charCodeAt(0) >= 32) {
+    // Letter, number, symbol
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**handleInput contract:**
+1. Check for your keys
+2. Update state
+3. Call `this.invalidate()` if render output changes
+4. Call `tui.requestRender()` to trigger re-render
+</keyboard_input>
+
+<line_width_rule>
+**Cardinal rule: each line from render() must not exceed `width` visible characters.**
+
+```typescript
+import { visibleWidth, truncateToWidth, wrapTextWithAnsi } from "@mariozechner/pi-tui";
+
+visibleWidth("\x1b[32mHello\x1b[0m");  // Returns 5 (ignores ANSI codes)
+truncateToWidth("Very long text here", 10);         // "Very lo..."
+truncateToWidth("Very long text here", 10, "");      // "Very long " (no ellipsis)
+wrapTextWithAnsi("\x1b[32mLong green text\x1b[0m", 10);  // Word wrap preserving ANSI
+```
+
+If lines exceed `width`, terminal wraps cause visual corruption.
+</line_width_rule>
+
+<performance_caching>
+Always cache render output:
+
+```typescript
+class CachedComponent {
+  private cachedWidth?: number;
+  private cachedLines?: string[];
+
+  render(width: number): string[] {
+    if (this.cachedLines && this.cachedWidth === width) return this.cachedLines;
+    const lines = this.computeLines(width);
+    this.cachedWidth = width;
+    this.cachedLines = lines;
+    return lines;
+  }
+
+  invalidate() { this.cachedWidth = undefined; this.cachedLines = undefined; }
+}
+```
+
+**Update cycle:** State changes → `invalidate()` → `tui.requestRender()` → `render(width)` called
+
+**Game loop pattern** (real-time updates):
+```typescript
+this.interval = setInterval(() => {
+  this.tick();
+  this.version++;
+  this.tui.requestRender();
+}, 100);  // 10 FPS
+
+// Clean up in dispose()
+clearInterval(this.interval);
+```
+</performance_caching>
+
+<theme_colors>
+Always use theme from callback params, never import directly.
+
+**All foreground colors:**
+
+| Category | Colors |
+|----------|--------|
+| General | `text`, `accent`, `muted`, `dim` |
+| Status | `success`, `error`, `warning` |
+| Borders | `border`, `borderAccent`, `borderMuted` |
+| Messages | `userMessageText`, `customMessageText`, `customMessageLabel` |
+| Tools | `toolTitle`, `toolOutput` |
+| Diffs | `toolDiffAdded`, `toolDiffRemoved`, `toolDiffContext` |
+| Markdown | `mdHeading`, `mdLink`, `mdLinkUrl`, `mdCode`, `mdCodeBlock`, `mdCodeBlockBorder`, `mdQuote`, `mdQuoteBorder`, `mdHr`, `mdListBullet` |
+| Syntax | `syntaxComment`, `syntaxKeyword`, `syntaxFunction`, `syntaxVariable`, `syntaxString`, `syntaxNumber`, `syntaxType`, `syntaxOperator`, `syntaxPunctuation` |
+| Thinking | `thinkingOff`, `thinkingMinimal`, `thinkingLow`, `thinkingMedium`, `thinkingHigh`, `thinkingXhigh` |
+
+**All background colors:** `selectedBg`, `userMessageBg`, `customMessageBg`, `toolPendingBg`, `toolSuccessBg`, `toolErrorBg`
+
+**Syntax highlighting:**
+```typescript
+import { highlightCode, getLanguageFromPath } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";
+const lang = getLanguageFromPath("/file.rs");  // "rust"
+const highlighted = highlightCode(code, lang, theme);
+```
+</theme_colors>
+
+<common_mistakes>
+1. **Lines exceed width** → Visual corruption. Use `truncateToWidth()` on every line.
+2. **Forgetting `tui.requestRender()`** → UI doesn't update. Call after invalidate().
+3. **Importing theme directly** → Wrong colors after theme switch. Use theme from callback.
+4. **Not typing DynamicBorder param** → `new DynamicBorder((s: string) => theme.fg("accent", s))`.
+5. **Reusing disposed overlay components** → Create fresh instances each time.
+6. **Styles bleeding across lines** → TUI resets per line. Reapply styles, or use `wrapTextWithAnsi()`.
+7. **Not implementing invalidate()** → Theme changes don't take effect.
+8. **Forgetting super.invalidate()** → `override invalidate() { super.invalidate(); /* cleanup */ }`
+9. **Timer not cleaned up** → Call `clearInterval` before `done()`.
+10. **Using ctx.ui in non-interactive mode** → Check `ctx.hasUI` first.
+</common_mistakes>

+
+**Input events:** `input`
+
+**Model events:** `model_select`
+
+**User bash events:** `user_bash`
+
+**Special:** `session_directory` (CLI startup only, no `ctx` — receives only event)

+</event_categories>
+
+<handler_signature>
+```typescript
+pi.on("event_name", async (event, ctx: ExtensionContext) => {
+  // event — typed payload for this event
+  // ctx — access to UI, session, model, control flow
+  // Return undefined for no action, or a typed response
+});
+```
+</handler_signature>
+
+<key_events>
+
+**before_agent_start** — Fired after user prompt, before agent loop. Primary hook for context injection and system prompt modification.
+```typescript
+pi.on("before_agent_start", async (event, ctx) => {
+  // event.prompt — user's prompt text
+  // event.images — attached images
+  // event.systemPrompt — current system prompt
+  return {
+    message: { customType: "my-ext", content: "Extra context", display: true },
+    systemPrompt: event.systemPrompt + "\n\nExtra instructions...",
+  };
+});
+```
+
+**tool_call** — Fired before tool executes. Can block.
+```typescript
+import { isToolCallEventType } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";
+
+pi.on("tool_call", async (event, ctx) => {
+  if (isToolCallEventType("bash", event)) {
+    // event.input is typed as { command: string; timeout?: number }
+    if (event.input.command.includes("rm -rf")) {
+      return { block: true, reason: "Dangerous command" };
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**tool_result** — Fired after tool executes. Can modify result. Handlers chain like middleware.
+```typescript
+import { isBashToolResult } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";
+
+pi.on("tool_result", async (event, ctx) => {
+  if (isBashToolResult(event)) {
+    // event.details is typed as BashToolDetails
+  }
+  // Return partial patch: { content, details, isError }
+  // Omitted fields keep current values
+});
+```
+
+**context** — Fired before each LLM call. Modify messages non-destructively.
+```typescript
+pi.on("context", async (event, ctx) => {
+  // event.messages is a deep copy — safe to modify
+  const filtered = event.messages.filter(m => !shouldPrune(m));
+  return { messages: filtered };
+});
+```
+
+**input** — Fired when user input is received, before skill/template expansion.
+```typescript
+pi.on("input", async (event, ctx) => {
+  // event.text — raw input
+  // event.source — "interactive", "rpc", or "extension"
+  if (event.text.startsWith("?quick "))
+    return { action: "transform", text: `Respond briefly: ${event.text.slice(7)}` };
+  return { action: "continue" };
+});
+```
+
+**model_select** — Fired when model changes.
+```typescript
+pi.on("model_select", async (event, ctx) => {
+  // event.model, event.previousModel, event.source ("set"|"cycle"|"restore")
+});
+```
+
+</key_events>
+
+<type_narrowing>
+Built-in type guards for tool events:
+
+```typescript
+import { isToolCallEventType, isBashToolResult } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";
+
+// Tool calls — narrows event.input type

+For custom tools, export your input type and use explicit type params:

+if (isToolCallEventType<"my_tool", MyToolInput>("my_tool", event)) {
+  event.input.action; // typed
+}

+The extension lifecycle from load to shutdown, including the full event flow.
+</overview>
+
+<loading>
+Extensions load when GSD starts (or on `/reload`). The default export function runs synchronously — subscribe to events and register tools/commands during this call.
+
+```
+GSD starts
+  └─► Extension default function runs
+      ├── pi.on("event", handler)      ← Subscribe
+      ├── pi.registerTool({...})       ← Register tools
+      ├── pi.registerCommand(...)      ← Register commands
+      └── pi.registerShortcut(...)     ← Register shortcuts
+  └─► session_start fires
+```
+</loading>
+
+<event_flow>
+Full event flow per user prompt:
+
+```
+user sends prompt
+  ├─► Extension commands checked (bypass if match)
+  ├─► input event (can intercept/transform/handle)
+  ├─► Skill/template expansion
+  ├─► before_agent_start (inject message, modify system prompt)
+  ├─► agent_start

+  │   ┌── Turn loop (repeats while LLM calls tools) ──┐
+  │   │ turn_start                                     │
+  │   │ context (can modify messages sent to LLM)      │
+  │   │ before_provider_request (inspect/replace payload)│
+  │   │ LLM responds → may call tools:                 │

+<session_events>
+| Event | When | Can Return |
+|-------|------|------------|
+| `session_start` | Session loads | — |
+| `session_before_switch` | Before `/new` or `/resume` | `{ cancel: true }` |
+| `session_switch` | After switch | — |
+| `session_before_fork` | Before `/fork` | `{ cancel: true }`, `{ skipConversationRestore: true }` |
+| `session_fork` | After fork | — |
+| `session_before_compact` | Before compaction | `{ cancel: true }`, `{ compaction: {...} }` |
+| `session_compact` | After compaction | — |
+| `session_shutdown` | On exit | — |
+</session_events>
+
+<hot_reload>
+Extensions in auto-discovered locations hot-reload with `/reload`:
+- `session_shutdown` fires for old runtime
+- Resources re-scanned
+- `session_start` fires for new runtime
+- Code after `await ctx.reload()` still runs from the pre-reload version — treat as terminal
