Picking an option marked nothing until the answer had crossed the tunnel,
been recorded and come back as an event, so the card sat unchanged for most
of a second after a tap. What the reader has picked is now the card's own
state and shows at once; a Submit at the foot sends every question the tool
is waiting on, greyed until all of them have an answer and a spinner while
the request is out.
Several questions are paged rather than stacked, with the count and a pair
of arrows on the right, because three questions with four described options
each is several screens and the reader scrolls past the one they are
answering to reach the button that sends it.
A permission ask keeps its single tap -- two bare words are not worth a
submit step -- and marks what was pressed until the request settles, so the
mark either stands on the recorded answer or goes away with the failure.
Chevron draws all four directions from one description of the shape, since
the pager needed two more of them.

A peer message opened was still one item of the transcript list, so every
block of it was composed, measured, placed and kept *alive* while any part
of it was on screen -- and the framework's own per-frame cost grows with how
many nodes are alive rather than how many are drawn. Measured on the
emulator, scrolling the same stretch with a 43KB message shut, opened, and
opened after this change:
shut opened opened, split
draw phase per frame 0.81ms 3.85ms 1.22ms
of that, the framework 0.39ms 3.15ms 0.42ms
frame total, median 16.9ms 24.3ms 21.1ms
So an opened message now costs about what a shut one does. That is the
shape the report from the phone had -- 11.80ms of draw phase with 79% of it
outside anything this app times -- which no counter here could attribute,
because "2 units visible" says one of them is enormous without saying which.
It says which now: the transcript section of the report names every visible
unit and its height, which is what found this.
The card is cut up rather than given up. A filled Material card is elevation
zero (`FilledCardTokens.ContainerElevation` is `Level0`), so there is no
shadow for a seam to show through: each piece paints the same fill, rounds
only the corners at the ends of the message, and keeps the 12dp inset the
card's own column had. Opening and shutting still hold the edge the reader
pressed, and now without a correction -- the list is keyed, so it holds the
item it is anchored on wherever the new ones land.
The crash this turned up is the more serious half. `placePeerNote` gives a
note the seq of the turn it started so it sorts above the reply it caused,
and argued the seq was free because it belongs to a status change and a
status draws no row. True, and about the wrong collision: two messages that
arrive during one turn are stamped with the same turn, so they became two
rows with one key and `LazyColumn` threw -- the app dying in the middle of
somebody reading. Two agents writing to a session mid-turn is an ordinary
afternoon. A note now keeps its own arrival seq as its identity while `seq`
stays the position it sorts at, and which value a row is keyed by moved onto
`TranscriptItem` itself, which also removes the `as? ToolRun` branch that
was doing the same job in `TranscriptRow.Single`.
`transcriptUnits` now says which two units collided if it ever happens
again. All the framework's message carries is the key, and when that key is
a seq it names neither row; two lines here answered in one run what had
taken an afternoon.

Four things the transcript and the composer said badly.
**An answered question threw away the question.** It collapsed into
"Answered: Deny", which does not say that Allow was the alternative -- and
whether a tool was allowed or refused is what a reader comes back to that
row for. The options stay now and the one that was taken is marked, in the
same purple border that says "picked" while the question is still open, so
it is one appearance learned once rather than two renderings of one thing.
The buttons are disabled rather than removed, and state their own border
and label colour, because Material dims a disabled button's and that would
have taken the mark with it. Both places got it: the question card, and the
permission ask on a tool row, which had the same line.
An answer typed into **Other** matches no option, so nothing could mark it.
That one is still written out -- it is the state the marking cannot say.
**Memory notes were open.** A `<cc-memory>` note is not part of what was
said to the reader, it is a note about where a claim came from, and left
open it breaks a reply in half around a card. Closed like a tool call and a
peer message, with the file it came from still visible, since that is what
somebody scanning for "why does it think that" is looking for. Open-ness is
the screen's rather than the card's, so a note opened and scrolled past is
still open on the way back.
**Picking a slash command left its own suggestion up.** `/compact` is a
whole command and a prefix of itself, so the list stayed with the one row
already chosen -- something to dismiss, in front of the box it was about to
be sent from.
**A model switch warned when there was nothing to warn about.** The warning
is that a cache is dropped, so it needs there to be one: a session whose
process has exited has nothing holding a cache, and one reporting zero
context is holding nothing. Where the figure is *unknown* the fallback is
what it was -- whether anything has been said -- because unknown is not
nothing, and an import nobody has measured yet is exactly where the
conversation may be enormous.
A Rust backend that owns the sessions and an Android app that reads them.
The server spawns and adopts CLI processes, normalises everything they emit
into one event model, keeps the transcript, and serves it over pinned TLS on
a WireGuard interface; the phone streams that, replies, sends images, and
imports conversations the machine already has.
`AGENTS.md` is the working guide -- what runs where, what has been measured,
and the faults that were expensive to find. `PLAN.md` is the design record.
History before this point was squashed away. It was a personal project's
running commentary and carried a name and a couple of machine paths that
have no business in a public repository; the tree is what mattered and the
tree is here.
