Mosh-style write-through prediction: the consumer sends every keystroke
unchanged; the addon paints predicted glyphs and reconciles against the
parsed buffer. Confirm = cell match + cursor advance (placeholder-safe,
repaint-safe); two-pass mismatch cascade with neutral blanks (measured:
codex clears its placeholder on first echo); TTL bound; baseY-based line
reads; scroll/resize/off-row clears. Zero edits to zerolag-input-addon.ts.
Tests: 30 addon-law specs + renderer geometry (fake performance clock for
TTL/grace), 6 replay suites running the real algorithm through a real
@xterm/headless parser fed by the recorded codex fixtures, and a
500-iteration seeded fuzz with per-op span/record + grid invariants.
227 total, the pre-existing 175 untouched.

Overlay renderer (xterm-zerolag-input):
- Add charTop/charHeight to CellDimensions and RenderParams for precise
vertical text positioning matching xterm's canvas renderer
- Convert device.char dimensions to CSS pixels via devicePixelRatio
- Extend line div background 1px past cell boundary to cover compositing
seam between overlay layer (z-index:7) and canvas layer below
- Remove -webkit-font-smoothing/text-rendering overrides that made overlay
text thinner than canvas text
- Add per-span height/lineHeight for natural CSS vertical centering
- Add setPrompt() method for runtime prompt strategy switching (fixes tab
switching crash with "setPrompt is not a function")
app.js duplicate class members:
- Remove dead formatTokens duplicate (line ~5590 shadowed precise version)
- Remove fire-and-forget resetCircuitBreaker duplicate (shadowed notification version)
- Rename mux-panel killAllSessions to killAllMuxSessions (was shadowing
Codeman session killer, breaking Ctrl+K)
Other:
- Update index.html onclick to use killAllMuxSessions
- Add getTeamTasks mock to test route context

Extract Claudeman's local echo overlay into a reusable xterm.js addon
at packages/xterm-zerolag-input/. Provides instant keystroke feedback
via a DOM overlay, eliminating perceived input latency over high-RTT
connections (SSH, mobile, cloud IDEs).
- Zero dependencies, compatible with xterm v5.x and @xterm/xterm v5.4+
- Configurable prompt detection (character, regex, or custom function)
- Flushed text tracking for tab-switch / deferred echo scenarios
- Per-character grid-aligned rendering matching xterm's canvas output
- 56 tests passing (prompt finder, overlay renderer, full addon lifecycle)
- Dual CJS/ESM build with full TypeScript declarations
Claudeman source is unchanged — migration to consume this lib is a
separate follow-up.
