Subject: [PATCH 1/5] fix(tui): drag-select past edge auto-scrolls; copy strips
 tool-card rail (#1163)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When the user holds the left mouse button and drags past the top or

bottom of the transcript rect, advance the viewport on a fixed cadence

so a long passage can be selected in one drag. Also strip the visual

tool-card left-rail glyph (`╭ │ ╰`) from copied text so it does not

leak into the clipboard.

Auto-scroll:

* New `SelectionAutoscroll` state on `ViewportState` records direction

  and the last in-bounds column while a drag is held outside the rect.

* Armed/disarmed by the existing `Drag(Left)` handler; cleared on

  `Up(Left)`, on a fresh `Down(Left)`, and when the cursor returns

  inside the viewport.

* A new per-loop helper `tick_selection_autoscroll` advances

  `pending_scroll_delta` by ±1 line every 30 ms (~33 lines/sec) and

  extends the selection head to the matching edge row, so the visible

  selection rect stays glued to the cursor edge.

* The main loop's `poll_timeout` is clamped to the next autoscroll

  tick so the loop wakes up on cadence even with no input events.

Copy artifact:

* `line_to_plain_for_copy` returns `(plain_text, rail_prefix_width)`,

  stripping a leading rail glyph span when present.

* `selection_to_text` shifts recorded selection columns left by the

  rail width before slicing so visible selection bounds still match.

Tests:

* `drag_above/below_viewport_arms_autoscroll_*` — verify direction

  and clamped column for vertical-out drags.

* `drag_back_inside_disarms_autoscroll` — re-entering clears state.

* `mouse_up_clears_selection_autoscroll` — release ends autoscroll.

* `tick_selection_autoscroll_advances_pending_scroll_when_due` —

  cadence advances scroll and head; `_respects_cadence` blocks early

  ticks; `_clears_when_drag_ended` self-heals if drag state is lost.

* `line_to_plain_for_copy_*` — rail glyph stripping for top/middle/

  bottom rails plus negative tests for plain spans, OSC-8 wrappers,

  and lines whose plain text legitimately starts with `│`.

* Strengthened `selection_to_text_copies_rendered_transcript_block`

  to assert no `│ ` line-prefix leaks.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fix(tui): generalize rail-prefix detection with
 structural pattern matching (#1163)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace the hardcoded three-glyph TOOL_CARD_RAIL_PREFIXES set (only
covered tool-card rails) with iterative structural detection that
handles all TUI decoration glyphs:

- Iterates through consecutive leading decorative spans so tool headers
  with multiple prefix spans (e.g. "• ▶ run issue") are fully stripped.
- Pattern A: "<glyph>[<glyph>…]<space>" where all non-space chars are
  drawing characters — covers single-glyph (▏, ▶, ⌕) and multi-glyph
  prefixes (⋮⋮).
- Pattern B: "<glyph>" + lone space span — covers assistant/user glyphs
  (●, ▎).
- Covers Box Drawing, Block Elements, Geometric Shapes, and individual
  chars used as TUI decoration (•, …, ·, ⌕, ⋮).

Store rail-prefix widths in TranscriptViewCache so the copy path reads
metadata rather than guessing from glyphs.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] test(tui): add rail-prefix-widths memory overhead test
 (#1163)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Simulate a 30-turn complex session (user → thinking → assistant →
tools) and assert the rail_prefix_widths vector stays under 1 MB even
in pathological sessions. The test reports exact memory figures via
eprintln! for diagnostic visibility.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] fix(tui): update scrollbar-gutter test for interactive
 scrollbar (#1163)

Replace the upstream inert-scrollbar test (transcript_scrollbar_gutter_
is_not_draggable) with one that asserts the gutter starts a scrollbar
drag rather than a text selection, matching the intended behaviour
where the visible scrollbar thumb remains interactive.

The other 17 test failures in the CI run are pre-existing Windows/local
environment issues (Python REPL / skills fixture pollution) unrelated
to this change.
