Codeman maintainer de864e7d63 fix(terminal): restore the history anchor after xterm parses, not before
flushPendingWrites() captured the viewport of a user who was reading
scrollback, called terminal.write(), and restored the anchor on the next
line. xterm parses on its own schedule, so at that point the buffer has not
moved: the guard `viewportY !== preserveViewportY` was false, scrollToLine
was never called at all, and the Codex redraw landed a tick later and took
the viewport to the live bottom with nothing left to pull it back. Scrolling
up during a stream still got dragged down, which is what #358 reports, and a
refresh was the only way back to a coherent view.

The restore moves inside xterm's write callback, the first moment the
redraw's effect exists, and runs before _scheduleTerminalWriteFlush() so a
deferred remainder re-captures the restored anchor rather than the bottom.

Two things follow from it running later:

- A live anchor now wins over the sticky scroll-to-bottom. The two are
  captured at different moments (_wasAtBottomBeforeWrite at the frame's
  first batchTerminalWrite, the anchor at flush time), so a scroll-up in
  between leaves both set, and running both would jump to the bottom and
  come back a frame later instead of staying put.
- The anchor is dropped if the active session changed or a buffer load
  started while the write was in flight. It indexes the buffer it was
  captured from, and selectSession() resets the terminal and chunk-loads a
  different scrollback.

The existing regression passed throughout, because its write mock moved the
viewport synchronously, which real xterm never does. The harness now models
an asynchronous parse (redraw lands, then the callback fires), and all five
of the anchor tests fail against the old code.

Fixes #358

Changesets

Hello and welcome! This folder has been automatically generated by @changesets/cli, a build tool that works with multi-package repos, or single-package repos to help you version and publish your code. You can find the full documentation for it in the repository.

What is a changeset?

A changeset is a piece of information about changes made in a branch or commit. It holds three bits of information:

  • What packages need to be released
  • What semver bump type each package should receive (major / minor / patch)
  • A summary of the changes

How do I create a changeset?

Run npx changeset or create a .md file in this directory with the following format:

---
"codeman": patch
---

Description of changes

The frontmatter specifies which package(s) to bump and the bump type. The body is the changelog entry.
