CI found both new end-to-end cases red on Linux and macOS while green on Windows. One was a bad assumption in the test; the other was the test telling me the fix is narrower than the first commit claimed. The real finding is the resize case. On Unix a resize raises SIGWINCH and the shell repaints its prompt, so the segment the resize opens is *not* empty — it holds the repaint. Dropping byte-less segments therefore leaves the newest non-empty segment being a bare prompt, with the pane's output still stranded in the segment sealed behind it: on CI the default form came back as 174 bytes of prompt escapes and no marker. On Windows nothing answers the resize, the segment stays empty, and the fix reaches past it to the output — which is why the assertion passed there. It was asserting an accident of the platform. So the fix stands but is smaller than "a resize no longer costs you the pane's output": it makes the zero-byte answer impossible, and that is all. It cannot do more. Nothing in the byte stream distinguishes a prompt repaint from output the pane meant, so no client-side rule can tell which side of the boundary the answer is on. The boundary is the flaw — the default form's unit is the last resize, an event in the window rather than in the pane — and moving it means redefining what the default returns (the last screenful of the ring, say), which would shrink what every caller with a never-resized pane gets today. Left alone, and said plainly instead: in `what_was_asked_for`'s doc comment, and in a warning in the CLI reference telling anyone reading a pane under the GUI to ask for `--scrollback`. The test now asserts what the fix actually guarantees on every platform — the default form answers with bytes rather than with the resize's placeholder, and it is the end of what `--scrollback` returns, which is what would catch a fix reaching for the wrong segment. The marker is pinned against `--scrollback`, the form that promises to hold it. The `--tail` failure was a race in the test, not in `--tail`: the whole and the tail were separate calls and the pane advanced between them, so the tail carried a prompt line the whole capture had not caught up to. Both cases now read the whole answer on either side of the others and require the two readings to match before comparing anything, which is what makes the comparison a statement about the code rather than about the moment. Both also read `--scrollback` now, so neither depends on where a segment boundary happens to fall, and neither pins exact pane content — the macOS runner prints a zsh banner into the pane.
