AiCheckerBase spawned the check with `> out 2>&1`, so anything the Claude CLI
wrote to stderr landed inside the same file the verdict parser reads. A CLI that
failed to start (corrupt settings, missing auth) produced either an empty verdict
or an unparseable one, and the actual cause was destroyed on the way through —
the user saw only "Empty output from AI idle check".
stderr now goes to its own temp file. When output is empty or the verdict cannot
be parsed, the first 200 characters of stderr are appended to the error message.
The file is cleaned up alongside the existing temp files, including on the error
paths.
Two tests, both failing on master:
expected 'export PATH="…' to contain ' 2> "'
expected 'Empty output from AI idle check' to contain 'Claude CLI failed to load settings'
The suite never selects a session, so initTerminal() does not run and both
`app.terminal` and `app.fitAddon` are null at rest. `_scheduleViewportSettle`
returns early on a falsy terminal, so the coalescing assertions could not
reach the behavior they claimed to cover -- the test errored on
`Cannot read properties of null` rather than measuring anything.
Installs the minimum surface the settle callback touches and restores it
afterwards, so the coalescing path executes for real.
Adds a behavioral counterpart driven through the PUBLIC entry point
(`onKeyboardShow`) instead of the internal scheduler: three viewport steps
in quick succession must produce exactly ONE refit. On master that returns
3 (each show arms its own uncoalesced 150ms timeout), so this fails by
COUNT rather than by a missing method -- which is the failure mode that
actually demonstrates the bug.
Verified: `expected 3 to be 1` on unmodified master; passes here. The
remaining 8 failures in this file are pre-existing on master and unrelated
(same null-initialization limitation of the headless harness).
