Kigi never publishes CDN changelogs, so the entire inherited feature
was dead weight: the welcome-menu Changelog row, the hero-box info
slot (bullets + clickable CTA), /release-notes with its /changelog
alias, and the ChangelogManager CDN-fetch/disk-cache pipeline
(Effect::FetchChangelog, TaskResult::ChangelogFetched, startup and
post-login fetch kickoffs, AppView cache fields, mouse hover/click
handling). Welcome menu is now [Import] / New worktree / Resume
session / Quit; the hero box keeps title + version + subtitle and its
layout math simplifies to 3 + menu rows (verified equivalent by the
surviving boundary tests). Action::ShowReleaseNotes and the DocViewer
modal stay — /docs uses them. builtin.rs keeps deleting stale
CHANGELOG.{json,md} caches written by kigi ≤ 0.1.0.
kigi-shell-base drops its reqwest 'blocking' feature (only the deleted
module used it). -1206 lines net.
Gates: fmt clean, workspace check/clippy --all-targets 0/0, kigi-tui
lib 6609 / shell-base 56 / shell util:: 258 all passing, welcome pty
e2e (3 tests incl. braille logo) passing.
kigi-tui
Terminal UI (TUI) for Kigi. Provides the interactive full-screen interface including the scrollback view, prompt input, session management, and all modal dialogs.

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
