Diagnose and fix pi-go TUI rendering corruption, especially displaced panels, stale rows, cursor drift, and terminal-specific ANSI incompatibilities.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# TUI Render Debugging

Use this skill when pi-go's Bubble Tea interface is broken in a terminal: text
appears in the wrong row or column, the sidebar moves, old frames remain after a
resize, or a redraw repairs the display.

## Establish the symptom

Capture the exact terminal, `TERM`, `COLORTERM`, `TERMINAL_EMULATOR`, terminal
size, and whether a full redraw or switching terminal modes repairs the frame.
Compare the broken frame with the next clean frame. A clean redraw after a bad
incremental frame points to renderer cursor state, not necessarily to bad
`View()` geometry.

For JetBrains IDE terminals, record `TERMINAL_EMULATOR=JetBrains-JediTerm`.
JediTerm can report `TERM=xterm-256color` while mishandling cursor-backward-tab
(`CSI Z`, CBT), which makes Bubble Tea's differential renderer believe the
cursor is in a different column than the emulator.

## Separate output leaks from renderer drift

The interactive TUI owns the terminal. Search the active path for direct output:

```bash
rg -n 'fmt\.Print|log\.Print|os\.(Stdout|Stderr)|slog\.' internal cmd
```

Routine diagnostics must use the session logger. User-facing notices must use

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dimetron/pi-go/tui-render-debug@sha256:56e1a1dfe1f98411

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.26651fe, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
