Alt-screen agent TUIs bracket every repaint in `?2026h … ?2026l`. A pane that stops presenting mid-bracket leaves xterm's `decPrivateModes.synchronizedOutput` latched, and `RenderService.refreshRows` checks that latch before rendering — so every repaint Orca owns renders zero rows while the xterm buffer is perfectly correct: the forced render-pause repaint, the plain `refresh()` fallback, and the shared glyph-atlas rebuild alike. xterm's 1s watchdog does not bound this. It is armed only inside `bufferRows`, and `refreshRows` returns at its `_isPaused` check first, so a pane that is not presenting holds the latch with no timer behind it. Resizing the window is the repair users find by hand: SIGWINCH makes the TUI repaint, and that repaint's closing `?2026l` clears the latch. This restores the release helper from #10907, which #11338 reverted as part of a batch whose stated reason ("terminal rendering regressions (flashing, lost content)") attaches to the #10871 hunk; no defect was ever attributed to the synchronized-output release, and it was never relanded. STA-2694 is still marked Done with its fix absent from the tree. Two changes versus #10907: - Drop the plain-refocus call site. #10907 also released from `schedulePaneRevealPresent`, but a refocus never hid its panes, so a latch there is a LIVE frame mid-flight and clearing it presents a half-drawn frame. Agent TUIs write these brackets many times a second, so that path could tear a frame on ordinary window refocus — a plausible source of the flashing the revert batch was chasing. Release only on the reveal repaint. - Add the post-replay restore boundary. A restored-open floating workspace never crosses hide -> reveal (its terminals mount visible from birth), so the reveal release never runs for it. Live bytes are still deferred at that point, so a latch there can only have come from the replay and cannot belong to a frame the TUI is mid-way through. Tests are mutation-verified: neutralizing the release fails 4 of the 8.
