- In-tai.py TUI framework (panels, compositor, z-layers, mouse, focus, VT screen, pty sub-terminals, widgets, animation) plus /demo, --demo, --demo-shot, tui.md docs, and research/tui-framework-design archive - Focus safety: Tab/Shift+Tab always cycle, auto-focus prefers non-terminals, dialogs restore previous focus on close - Native Consts/Install/Sandbox/Opencode/SysInfo classes in tai.py; module functions delegate so live patches apply; fixes 19 failures - Retargeted 4 test patches to the real tai.* seams (assertions unchanged) - Deleted tai_pkg/; tai.py is standalone stdlib-only (bare copy imports) - AGENTS.md/README.md updated to the standalone architecture - test_tai.py 320/320 OK, test_seal.py 16/16 OK

Summary
A TUI task note documenting crossterm-style BeginSynchronizedUpdate/EndSynchronizedUpdate (CSI ? 2026 h/l) and stating explicitly that terminals without mode 2026 support silently ignore the sequences as harmless no-ops.
Key findings
BeginSynchronizedUpdatewritesCSI ? 2026 h;EndSynchronizedUpdatewritesCSI ? 2026 l.- The terminal buffers all output between the markers and presents it as a single atomic update.
- Terminals that do not recognize mode 2026 silently ignore both sequences (harmless no-ops), so no capability probing is required.
Pros / strengths
- States the graceful-degradation property explicitly, which is the load-bearing fact for tai emitting the sequence unconditionally.
Cons / limitations / caveats
- Basis is a search-result excerpt, not a full page read; no support matrix.
Relevance to tai
- Justifies unconditional
?2026h/?2026lframing around every composed frame in tai's renderer: atomic present where supported, ignored elsewhere.
