Jinwoo Hong 2c7609bf6a fix(terminal): serialize only the visible width after a column shrink (#22586)
* fix(terminal): serialize only the visible width after a column shrink

xterm does not reflow the alternate buffer (or a normal buffer under
pre-21376 ConPTY), so after a shrink each line keeps its old length.
SerializeAddon walked every non-final row to line.length, so any snapshot
taken after a shrink carried stale right-hand cells that wrapped into extra
rows on replay; restores repainted that garbage and a differential TUI such
as OpenCode never cleared it.

Clamp the row walk and the wrap-boundary lookups to the terminal's columns
in Orca's addon-serialize source patch, and regenerate the bundles, maps and
lockfile hash per docs/reference/xterm-patch-regeneration.md.

* test(terminal): read shrink-snapshot fixtures through public APIs

Drops the private-terminal casts the casting gate flags; the normal-buffer case
now drives a plain pre-21376 ConPTY terminal and its SerializeAddon directly.

* fix(terminal): blank a wide glyph clipped by a column shrink when serializing

After a non-reflowing shrink a width-2 glyph can have its lead half in the last
column and its trailing half past the grid. Serializing the lead half makes the
replay wrap it to the next row and shift every row below, so serialize that
cell as a blank and keep the row exactly the grid's width. A glyph ending
exactly at the edge is unchanged.

* test(mobile): move the session closure pin past the main agent status modules

#22452 added src/shared/main-agent-status.ts and src/shared/agent-turn-outcome.ts,
which agent-status-types.ts imports, so the session route's closure grew by two
local modules (4218 -> 4220). That change was src/shared-only, so its own CI never
ran this suite; main has been at 4220 since, and any PR that fires the mobile web
app job fails on the stale pin. Measured on 4064653740 and on origin/main 3ea15dd0a2.

* test(terminal): differential serialize round-trip fuzz and transcript replay

Seeded VT streams (text, CJK/emoji/combining, SGR, cursor/edit ops, scroll
regions, DECAWM/IRM, alt-screen variants, DECSC, and shrink-heavy resizes)
drive a source terminal in three modes: reflowing normal buffer, alternate
buffer, and a non-reflowing pre-21376 ConPTY normal buffer. At each checkpoint
every SerializeAddon build under test serializes it, and each output is
replayed into a fresh terminal of the same size and compared cell by cell,
plus cursor, active buffer and modes.

CI runs 25 seeds per mode against a pinned list of pre-existing divergences,
and replays the committed PTY transcripts (the existing agent fixtures plus new
vim, less, pico, and OpenCode captures) under four resize schedules. Point
ORCA_OLD_SERIALIZE_ADDON at a previous patched build to also check byte
identity when no line is wider than the grid, and that no checkpoint regresses.

* test(terminal): build the differential serialize baseline from any git ref

config/scripts/build-serialize-addon-at-ref.mjs reverse-applies the patch that
produced the installed @xterm/addon-serialize dist, applies the ref's patch,
and verifies each step against the patches' blob hashes, so the fuzz can use
origin/main (or any fix commit) as its baseline without a second install.
ORCA_NEW_SERIALIZE_ADDON swaps in a built dist for the build under test, and a
seed-pinned test replays the nine I3 regressions found against origin/main.

* fix(terminal): serialize a clipped wide glyph as a width-1 blank

The stand-in for a wide glyph clipped by a column shrink came from getNullCell(),
whose width is 0. _nextCell skipped it as a wide trailer, and the row-end wrap
check counted the width-0 _backgroundCell as content, so a soft wrap after the
clipped column was taken as natural and replayed one column early
(conpty seed 1149: `abcdefghi中WRAPPED` at 12 -> 10 cols replayed as
`abcdefghiR`/`APPED`). Blank the cell in place instead: width 1, no codepoint,
its own attributes, so it counts as one empty column and forces the wrap.

Differential sweep vs origin/main, 7000 cases per mode: I1 0 byte diffs, seed
1149 fixed; the remaining I3 regressions are the trailing background-row seeds.

* test(terminal): neutral paths in the serialize fixtures and usage comment

The OpenCode transcript carried this machine's lane paths in its footer; replace
them with same-length neutral paths so the recorded cursor layout is unchanged.

* fix(terminal): keep trailing background-only rows when serializing

Without scrollback, _serializeString trims rows after the last content cursor.
A row made only of background-colored blanks emits its erase in _rowEnd but
never moved that cursor, so two or more such rows at the bottom were dropped
(4x3 `r1\r\n\e[48;5;157m\e[J\e[0m\e[3;1H` replayed with the last row blank).
Track the erase separately and extend the kept rows to it, except when the
cursor is wrap-pending: relative moves back from those rows cannot re-create
that state, and doing so regressed normal 508, alt 1425/6647, conpty 4699.

Harness: I1 now exempts checkpoints with a background row after the last text
row, the one place this fix changes bytes on purpose (scope helpers move to
serialize-grid-variant-scope.ts); conpty seed 5 leaves the pinned pre-existing
list. Sweep vs origin/main, 7000 cases per mode: I1 0, I3 regressions 0;
fixed/both-fail normal 967/3914, alt 2628/8316, conpty 6657/2937 (was
323/4558, 2296/8648, 5466/4128).

* test(terminal): narrow the I1 carve-out to where the serializer keeps background rows

Trailing background-only rows change bytes only when the serialized range has no
scrollback (the trimming path) and the cursor is not wrap-pending; checkpoints with
scrollback or a wrap-pending cursor are held to byte identity again. The 7000-per-mode
sweep against origin/main stays at I1 0 and I3 0.

* test(native-chat): pin that screen scrapers ignore kept background rows

The serializer now keeps trailing background-only rows, so a painted TUI's screen
read as text ends in \r\n\x1b[NX rows. Serialize the same frame with and without
them and check the Claude option scrape, the empty-prompt check and the fork
transcript read the same thing.

* test(terminal): read xterm core internals through a checked parser, not Reflect.get

The fuzz oracle reached xterm's private _core with Reflect.get, which the
low-evidence gate rejects. Narrow _core, writeSync and the DECSTBM bounds with
in/typeof checks into one named XtermCoreInternals shape instead.

* test(terminal): keep captured serialize transcripts byte-exact on Windows checkouts
