# Frontend (TUI) Architecture
## Render Pipeline
The TUI is built with [ratatui](https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui) and [crossterm](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm).
```
Timer tick
main.rs: fn tui_loop()
├── controller/input.rs: handle_key() → action
├── app/runtime/actions/mod.rs: apply_action()
│ │
│ └── state mutates (AppStateRest)
└── view/mod.rs: build TUI layout
├── view/chat.rs: Chat transcript
├── view/sidebar.rs: Usage dashboard
├── view/status.rs: Status bar
├── view/markdown.rs: Message renderer
├── view/workflow.rs: Hive-mind progress
└── view/theme.rs: Tokyo Night palette
```
## Overlay System
16 overlays managed by `app/mode/`:
| Overlay | File | Purpose |
|---------|------|---------|
| Chat input | `mod.rs` | Main input bar with autocomplete |
| Bash | `bash.rs` | Interactive shell panel |
| Editor | `editor.rs` | Built-in file editor |
| Effort | `effort.rs` | LLM effort selector |
| Help | `help.rs` | Keybindings help |
| Key Input | `key_input.rs` | Custom key binding |
| Learning | `learning.rs` | Lesson viewer |
| Loading | `loading.rs` | Spinner overlay |
| MCP | `mcp.rs` | MCP server management |
| Quit Confirm | `quit_confirm.rs` | Exit confirmation dialog |
| Rewind | `rewind.rs` | Message/history rewind |
| Settings | `settings.rs` | Settings panel |
| Todo | `todo.rs` | Task/TODO list |
| Workflow | (via view) | Workflow progress |
## Layout Structure
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Status Bar (view/status.rs) │
├──────────────────────┬──────────────────────┤
│ │ │
│ Chat Transcript │ Sidebar │
│ (view/chat.rs) │ (view/sidebar.rs) │
│ scrollable, │ tokens, status, │
│ inline-log style │ agent info │
│ │ │
├──────────────────────┴──────────────────────┤
│ Input Bar + Autocomplete dropdown │
│ (view/mod.rs) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Input Handling
`controller/input.rs`:
- Normal mode: keystrokes go to the active overlay
- `@mention` triggers fuzzy autocomplete (via `nucleo-matcher`)
- Tab cycles autocomplete candidates
- `Ctrl+Y` copies selected text to clipboard (via OSC52 escape sequence)
- Arrow keys scroll chat, sidebar, and other scrollable panels
## Theme
`view/theme.rs` defines a Tokyo Night color palette as constants (`Theme::PRIMARY`, `Theme::ERROR`, `Theme::TEXT_MUTED`, etc.) rather than using a theme enum or hot-reloadable config. All view modules import and apply these constants directly.
