It documents the streaming transcript (reasoning deltas collapse to a
thought for Ns line, tool calls render inline, and the final answer commits as
Markdown) alongside the side pane (todos, active tools, active plugins), the
status footer with its context meter that reveals at 50% of the usable input
budget and shades toward the compaction trigger, the theme system (ziro by
default, plus carbon, nord, and gruvbox), and the two human-in-the-loop modals: the
approval modal for gated tool calls and the question modal for
ask_user_question. It also covers the instant-shell behaviour, where the UI
paints before the engine is built and queues anything you type in the meantime.
