A tile counts as hollow when every row above its screen is its own overflow
(baseY minus _overflowRows is 0), so unlike the primary pane, whose hollow
buffer has baseY 0, its viewport can sit above the bottom while it is hollow:
Shift+PageUp, a scrollbar drag or a wheel during the first replay leave it up
there. _maybePageCliTranscript never looked at the viewport, so every wheel,
wheel-down included, was turned into PageUp/PageDown and swallowed. xterm never
scrolled back, the stale rows stayed on screen while the CLI paged out of
view, and clicks were dropped too, because the click report refuses an
off-bottom viewport.
The tile now pages only while _terminalViewportAtBottom holds for its own
terminal, checked before the pending travel is touched. Off the bottom the
wheel stays with xterm, so a wheel-down brings the viewport home and paging
resumes from there. The primary pane is unchanged: its hollow test already
implies a viewport at the bottom, which the twin comment now says.
Tests: a unit case for a tile hollow by the discount with its viewport above
the bottom (no page key, no preventDefault, and no travel carried over once
back home), and the real-browser case now scrolls a hollow tile up and proves
a real wheel-down scrolls xterm home with no page key sent, then pages again.
Both go red with the gate removed, and the unit case also with the gate moved
below the pending-travel update.

#555 made the primary pane page opencode's transcript with PageUp/PageDown
from the wheel, because opencode draws in place on the alternate screen and
leaves the browser's buffer with no scrollback. A TerminalTile (a grid tile,
the split's Pane B) left every wheel to xterm, so in an opencode tile the
wheel scrolled nothing, or only stale rows.
The tile now runs the primary pane's own gates aimed at itself (its terminal,
its session, never the active one): xterm's tracking mode, the Claude
forwarding gate, then the hollow-buffer test. A wheel that passes them is
consumed in the capture phase and turned into PageUp/PageDown through the
shared pageKeysForTravel math, coalesced per tile (40 ms, 512 bytes, the twin
of the primary pane's queue) and sent ephemeral on the tile's own socket.
Every other wheel stays with xterm as before, the shell history pull
included. The file names no CLI: the mode rules stay in terminal-ui.js, and
terminal-tile.js joins the frontend no-id-branching guard.
A plain port of the primary's baseY === 0 test would almost never fire in a
grid. A tile's first capture is taken at the PTY's previous size (usually the
taller primary pane's) and written into a shorter xterm, and its own
row-shrinking fits (zoom-out, divider drags, tile count changes) push more
rows above the screen. The tile counts those rows as its own overflow: all of
them after a load whose capture held a single screen (the server's
captureRows), plus whatever a local fit or a PTY geometry report pushes up,
reset by a clear and clamped to baseY. The paging gate gets baseY minus that
count. Output that scrolls real lines still counts as history, so the tile
stops paging there.
#555's other half, stripping opencode's mouse DECSETs so a drag selects text,
is server-side and already reached tile sockets. It also left the tile's
xterm unable to encode opencode's clicks, so the tile now installs the
primary pane's desktop click report (bubble phase, gated on the session's
cliMouseTracking, the tile's own link hover and selection). Both listeners,
the flush timer and the page-key state are torn down in destroy().
Still out of scope, as the fileoverview now says: touch paging (tiles have
no touch path) and SGR wheel forwarding to Claude's fullscreen renderer
(tile-grid-plan follow-up 4), so a fullscreen Claude tile keeps leaving the
wheel to xterm.
Tests: test/terminal-tile-scroll.test.ts drives a real tile in the vm
harness (session targeting, every no-page case, accumulation, the cap,
coalescing, byte parity with the primary pane, the overflow discount through
a load, a fit, a geometry report and a clear, the click report and destroy);
the discount cases fail with it removed. The fake xterm gains opt-in row
emulation. test/terminal-tile-scroll.browser.test.ts checks the same model
against a real xterm with trusted wheel events (browser suite, not the gate).
