 /**
  * Defaults, bounds, and resolution for terminal history retention.

- * Centralizes the terminal scrollback, tmux history-limit, and server PTY buffer
- * byte caps that were previously scattered as hardcoded literals. Each value is
- * overridable (env var or the settings object) and clamped to a sane range via
- * resolveTerminalHistoryConfig(). Defaults intentionally match the prior
- * hardcoded values, so introducing this module is behavior-neutral.
+ * Raised defaults (the ones actually wired):
+ * - tmux history-limit: 50,000 -> 100,000 lines (applied at session spawn)
+ * - server PTY buffer cap: 2MB max / 1.5MB trim -> 32MB / 24MB (via buffer-limits.ts)
+ * Browser xterm scrollback is a separate hardcoded DEFAULT_SCROLLBACK (50,000) in
+ * src/web/public/constants.js and deliberately stays at 50k — 100k xterm lines per tab
+ * is a mobile-memory hazard — so DEFAULT_TERMINAL_SCROLLBACK_LINES stays 50,000 to match.
+ * The terminalScrollbackLines/terminalBufferMaxBytes/terminalBufferTrimBytes settings keys
+ * remain schema-validated but inert (a follow-up wires them); only tmuxHistoryLimit is live.
+ * All values remain env- and settings-overridable and bounds-clamped via
+ * resolveTerminalHistoryConfig().
