雷电芽衣 17d4ba08f9 fix(exit): diagnostics after the terminal may be gone are best-effort writes
With fd 2 dead (a closed pane, an exited pipe reader) every write fails,
eprintln! panics on that failure, and under panic = "abort" the process
dies by SIGABRT with a crash report on the next launch instead of its
exit code. Exit reports, headless plain-format diagnostics, update-exit,
setup-result and leader-management messages now write through
best_effort_stderr::eprint_line: one attempt, failure reported, never a
panic.

Ported from upstream 1.0.19 (grok-build best_effort_stderr.rs).

Key Concepts

  • AppView — owns the welcome screen, agent sessions, and global config
  • AgentView — one per session; owns the prompt, scrollback, tool panes, and modals
  • PromptWidget — text editor component with file search (@), slash commands (/), history search, and paste elements
  • Action/Effect — Elm-style architecture: input → Action → dispatch → Effect → state update
