The 8th registry row: id "mistral", MISTRAL_API_KEY > auth.json "mistral" scope, https://api.mistral.ai/v1 with KIGI_MISTRAL_BASE_URL override, enrichment-backed metadata with the tool-calling listing restriction (embed/moderation/OCR noise). Mistral is NOT a pure-pattern provider — an adversarial review found two doc-confirmed blockers that no test exercises (no e2e covers a chat POST), so the gate-green registry row alone would have shipped it DOA. A research workflow pinned the exact wire shapes against the mistralai/client-python SDK source (adversarially verified), then both were fixed: 1. stream_options 422: Mistral's strict Pydantic validator rejects the stream_options.include_usage field kigi injects on every streaming request (the SDK's request model has no such field). New ChatCompat::Mistral dialect strips it (plus the kigi-private message fields, like Passthrough). Streaming usage falls back to token estimation. 2. Reasoning content arrays: Mistral reasoning models return content as Union[str, List[ContentChunk]] on both streaming and non-streaming, which the flat Option<String> path could not decode -> aborted turn. A UNIVERSAL lenient deserializer (#[serde(from = "Raw..")] on ChatResponseMessage + ChatChunkDelta) accepts string-or-array, routing {type:text} chunks to the answer and the nested text of {type:thinking} chunks to reasoning_content, tolerant of the OPEN chunk union (unknown types ignored, never fatal). String content stays byte-identical for every other provider (kimi/deepseek/groq/BYOK). Review refuted all seven attack lines (no regression, no crash, exhaustive) and flagged one coverage gap, now closed: a stream-consumer integration test drives a full thinking -> transition -> answer chunk sequence and proves it yields the same reasoning-sibling + assistant-answer result as the reasoning_content string path. Also folds a verified quirk matrix for all 23 remaining API providers into providers-plan.md, tiered by real difficulty (self-enriching OpenRouter/ Vercel; bare-array Together listing; Messages-dialect MiniMax reusing the Anthropic machinery; non-Bearer Azure/Bedrock; router wildcards; the OAuth block).
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
