+# Context Kernel v0.1.8
+
+This patch fixes the default TUI rendering rhythm so chat turns no longer flood the terminal with repeated full-screen layouts.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- The startup workspace view still appears once.
+- Each normal user message now appends only the user turn, compact status, and assistant result.
+- Full redraw remains available through `/clear` or `AKERNEL_ALT_SCREEN=1`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Added regression coverage to ensure normal TUI turns do not repeatedly print the full header.
+- Ran the full Python test suite.
