test(terminal): reproduce missing mouse reports on initial attach

A raw-input terminal enables SGR mouse reporting before the web client attaches. A trusted finger drag should reach its stdin, as it does when the same mode is enabled after attachment, but no report arrives. This diagnostic intentionally remains red; it changes no production behavior.

+Expanding or collapsing something in the chat timeline (a turn's summary line, a tool-call group,
+a tool call's inline details, a todo card) keeps the tapped trigger at the same screen y in the
+first painted frame. No animation.
+
+## The contract
+
+A disclosure component knows nothing about the list. It wraps its state change:
+
+```tsx
+const hold = useDisclosureHold();
+const handleToggle = () => hold(() => setExpanded((value) => !value));
+```
+
+`view.tsx` wraps every timeline row in `DisclosureRow`, which routes `hold` to the strategy's
+`holdRow(rowId, apply)` (`packages/app/src/agent-stream/disclosure.tsx`). Outside a timeline row,
+`apply` runs as is. The strategy owns when `apply` runs and how the row keeps its place.
+
+Following output:
+
+- A hold always detaches the bottom anchor controller (`holdForDisclosure`).
+- When the hold ends, the controller re-sticks only if the list sits at its end and no user scroll
+  owns the viewport (`releaseDisclosure({ isAtEnd })`). Expanding at the bottom therefore leaves
+  the list detached with the scroll-to-bottom pill showing; collapsing back to the end resumes
+  following.
+- Scroll events during the hold never re-stick: the correction is a programmatic scroll that
+  would otherwise read as "back at the bottom".
+
+The trigger can only stay put when the list has scroll room for the change. When the loaded
+content fits the viewport, or a collapse at the end would need an offset past the end, the list
+ends at its end and the trigger moves by the difference.
+
+## Web
+
+`holdRow` pins the row in the reading anchor and runs `apply`; the next reading reconcile restores
+the row's top after layout, before paint (`strategy-web.tsx`).
+
+## Native
+
+On compact layouts, tool calls and tool-call groups open a sheet instead of expanding, so they do
+not hold. Summary lines and todo cards expand inline.
+
+The timeline is a LegendList in forward order: one `data` array of history rows followed by the
+live head, oldest first (`strategy-native.tsx`). LegendList keeps a row in place across a size
+change in the commit that makes it, so a hold needs no anchor neighbour, native child index or
+render window stretch. The inverted FlatList it replaced needed all three, and three commits per
+toggle; its applied commit took up to 3.5 s of JS on a long turn.
+
+### Who owns the offset
+
+One owner keeps the scroll offset at any moment:
+
+| State                  | Owner                                                                                     |
+| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Before rows are placed | LegendList's initial scroll to the end. It keeps the rows hidden until they are measured. |
+| Following the end      | The end pin (`native-end-pin.tsx`).                                                       |
+| Disclosure hold        | LegendList's `maintainVisibleContentPosition`, restoring only the held row.               |
+| User scroll            | The finger. The controller detaches at drag start.                                        |
+| Detached               | LegendList's `maintainVisibleContentPosition` on the first visible row.                   |
+| Keyboard motion        | Nobody. The keyboard translates the list with the composer and leaves the offset alone.   |
+
+The end pin is a zero-height view at the bottom of the content and the content's first native
+child, with React Native's `maintainVisibleContentPosition` set to `{ minIndexForVisible: 0 }`. The
+native correction runs on the UI thread around each mount, so a row that grows or lands at the end
+scrolls in the frame it lays out. The controller scrolls only for a viewport resize (the composer
+growing or shrinking) and an explicit jump, both through the native `scrollToEnd`.
+
+Do not use LegendList's `maintainScrollAtEnd` instead. It scrolls from JS after the mount to the end
+its JS sizes predict: growth paints below the viewport for a frame, and the scroll lands short of
+the native end, which the controller reads as the user scrolling away.
+
+The keyboard never changes the list's size, padding or offset. `KeyboardTranslateView` moves the list
+and the composer together on the UI thread, and the composer viewport clips the top of the list
+while the keyboard is open. Do not add a keyboard-sized inset to keep that content reachable: it can
+only commit after the motion, and while detached or holding nothing corrects for it, so every row
+jumps by the keyboard height after the keyboard settles.
+
+### The hold
+
+`holdRow(rowId, apply)` runs in the toggle's event:
+
+1. Mark the row held and detach the controller (`holdForDisclosure`). The pin goes away and
+   LegendList's `maintainVisibleContentPosition` takes over, restoring only the held row
+   (`shouldRestorePosition`). Upstream LegendList anchors only rows from the first fully visible
+   one down, and a size change with no data change keeps the first row in view whatever
+   `shouldRestorePosition` says. A row cut off at the top would then let the row below it hold
+   instead, moving the trigger by the row's size change. The LegendList patch counts rows cut off
+   at the top as in view and applies `shouldRestorePosition` to size changes too.
+2. Run `apply`.
+3. Call the row's `useSyncLayout` trigger. The toggle changes the row from its own state, so
+   LegendList's container does not re-render and would learn the new height from `onLayout` a task
+   later, after the change painted. The trigger puts the measurement and the corrected positions
+   in the toggle's own commit.
+
+The hold ends two frames after the last item size change, since the list measures the toggled row
+and any rows it inserted over several frames (`native-disclosure-hold.ts`). The controller then
+re-sticks only if the list is within 1 px of its end, the same distance web resumes from.
+
+### User scroll
+
+The controller detaches at `onScrollBeginDrag`, so lines that stream in during a drag grow below
+the rows under the finger. The detach reaches native a JS round trip after the drag begins, so for
+those frames the pin is still mounted. The scroll view subclasses skip the pin's correction while
+the user drags (see [scroll view corrections](#scroll-view-corrections)). They skip only the pin's:
+in the detached state LegendList uses the same native correction, and a history page that lands
+mid-drag needs it. They key on the drag, not the touch, so a tap or long press while following
+keeps following.
+
+Following resumes only for a gesture that ends within 1 px of the end, either when the finger lifts
+or when momentum stops. A release past the end counts: iOS bounces back to the end, and lines that
+land during the bounce must keep scrolling in. A release anywhere short of the end stays detached
+with the scroll-to-bottom pill, so the rows the user let go of never move.
+
+### Draw distance
+
+`drawDistance` is 2000 px on each side of the viewport. A fling over rows that were never measured
+blanks the viewport until LegendList renders and measures them. Twelve flings over a chat with a
+15,000 px turn expanded, Android emulator, dev build:
+
+| List                          | Blank viewport             | Janky frames | p50 / p90 / p99  |
+| ----------------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------ | ---------------- |
+| Inverted FlatList             | 1.3 to 1.7 s over 5 flings | 10.8%        | 27 / 48 / 109 ms |
+| LegendList, drawDistance 500  | 1.0 to 1.5 s per fling     |              |                  |
+| LegendList, drawDistance 2000 | none                       | 1.7%         | 24 / 32 / 48 ms  |
+
+With every turn collapsed, flinging from a cold open into history did not blank at any value from
+500 to 2000, and jank followed host load (19 to 40 on 16 cores) rather than draw distance. Measure
+1000 and 1500 on the expanded chat, on a host under load 10, before lowering it.
+
+### LegendList patch
+
+`patches/@legendapp+list+3.7.1.patch` carries ten changes for the timeline. Its header lists
+them by purpose, and
+[legend-list #593](https://github.com/LegendApp/legend-list/issues/593) reports each upstream.
+Drop a hunk when the installed LegendList ships its fix.
+
+### Scroll view corrections
+
+`modules/paseo-scroll` replaces React Native's scroll view on both platforms with a subclass:
+Android's `PaseoScrollView` and iOS's `PaseoScrollViewComponentView`.
+`VisibleContentPositionClampTest` covers Android; iOS has no native test harness.
+
+**Content clamp.** A mount that shrinks the content while `maintainVisibleContentPosition` is set
+applies the shrink twice on both platforms: the scroll view clamps its offset to the new end during
+the mount, and React Native then adds the anchor's movement to the clamped offset
+([RN #58578](https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/58578), fix in
+[PR #58695](https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/58695)). A turn that folds while the list
+follows its end lands above the end. Android defers the clamp to the pre-draw pass, and iOS restores
+the pre-mount offset for the adjustment and clamps after it.
+
+**Removed anchor (iOS).** A hold removes the end pin in the same mount that opens the tapped
+disclosure, and React Native 0.86 on iOS moves the offset by the removed view's frame. The iOS
+subclass keeps the offset. Android keeps a removed view's last frame, so it keeps the offset already.
+React Native 0.88 skips the adjustment for a removed anchor
+([PR #57294](https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/57294)).
+
+**End pin during a drag.** Both subclasses recognize the pin by its native ID, `paseo-end-pin`,
+and skip its correction while the user drags ([user scroll](#user-scroll)). This one has no React
+Native counterpart; it stays while the timeline uses the pin.
+
+Remove the content clamp and removed-anchor overrides once the installed React Native includes
+their fixes.

 - **Workspace-owned state** — Per-workspace state that never leaks to a same-`cwd` sibling: tabs, agents, terminals, panes, title, plus review drafts, diff-mode overrides, composer attachments, and file-explorer open/expand state. Keyed by `workspaceId` (`cwd` only as a fallback for old payloads). See [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned).
 - **Last prompt** — Sidebar workspace sort by the most recent human prompt recorded by an agent in that workspace, including archived agents. Agent output, agent-to-agent messages, scheduled prompts, and opening a workspace do not count. A workspace without a human prompt uses its creation time.
 - **Workspace status bucket** — Aggregate activity signal for a workspace row. Same-`cwd` workspaces intentionally share agent and terminal status buckets, while tab, agent, and terminal visibility remains scoped by `workspaceId`.
+- **Background agent** — An agent hidden from default discovery and from app surfaces that announce agents: tabs, the subagent track, agent lists, workspace status and attention. It is otherwise an ordinary durable agent, addressable by id. An agent is effectively background when it or its workspace is background. Fixed at creation. Code: `background` on `AgentSnapshotPayload` and `create_agent_request`. See [agent-lifecycle.md](agent-lifecycle.md#background-visibility). Don't confuse with background work (provider shells and monitors) or the daemon's private internal helpers, which are never public ([agent-lifecycle.md](agent-lifecycle.md#private-daemon-helpers)).
 - **Agent session** — One running instance of an agent inside a workspace (one provider, one model, one cwd, one timeline). The conceptual unit; in the UI this opens as a tab. Moving toward this as the canonical term over "Agent". Code: `AgentSnapshotPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:608`).
 - **Session** — Two senses: (a) per-client connection to a daemon, internal; (b) user-facing agent session, see **Agent session**. Code: `Session` (`packages/server/src/server/session.ts`) for (a). Don't confuse with: provider-side agent session log.
 - **Profile** — Internal name for the persisted shape of a host. Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Never user-facing. Three other things are called "profile" in this codebase, so always qualify: **Agent profile**, **Terminal profile**, and the provider aliases in [custom-providers.md](custom-providers.md). Bare "profile" is forbidden in UI copy.

 The package patch also keeps overflowing native horizontal blocks in control of their drags: Android claims parent interception at touch-down and releases it for vertical drags so the chat list can scroll; iOS keeps its scroll recognizer active for outward drags at the leading edge. This prevents compact sidebar pans from taking block scrolling without changing sidebar swipes on prose or non-overflowing blocks. Native changes require a client rebuild.
 
+On iOS a newly mounted Markdown view paints empty for a frame or more after it is laid out at its measured height: the library parses even a view's first content on a background queue and applies it in a later main-queue turn. Expanding a turn in chat therefore shows its rows in place with the text arriving a frame later (165 ms when the mount keeps the main thread busy). Android paints the text in the first frame. Rendering a view's first content synchronously fixes the frame but costs frame time when a fling mounts history rows, so the app keeps the library's behavior until [enriched-markdown #1131](https://github.com/software-mansion/enriched-markdown/issues/1131) is resolved.
+
 Android measurements use a size-only, 512-entry LRU across view unmounts, matching the library’s existing iOS cache. Scrolling back through history can reuse layout sizes without parsing those rows again. Content, layout props and width identify each entry; font-scale changes and native layout invalidation discard affected sizes. The cache retains no views or spans.
 
 The library determines how incomplete Markdown appears during streaming. Completed text uses the same component and engine as history. Find and scroll-to-message address source message ids; selection-copy understands semantic HTML and the web code component's copy metadata.

 ## Native Chat Stream Layout
 
-The native agent stream uses an inverted `FlatList`, so chat layout has three coordinate systems:
-
-- chronological stream order
-- strategy-ordered array order
-- native inverted cell visual order
-
 Do not compute stream neighbors, history/live-head seams, turn footer ownership, assistant block spacing, or tool sequence endings inside React render loops. Those policies live in `packages/app/src/agent-stream/layout.ts` and are unit-tested without React Native rendering.
 
-Platform-specific stream edges belong on `StreamStrategy`:
-
-- forward web uses the last history item as the history/live-head boundary and renders content before a footer
-- native inverted uses the first history item as the history/live-head boundary and compensates for inverted cell child order
+Platform-specific stream edges belong on `StreamStrategy`. Web and native both render in chronological order, so both use the last history item as the history/live-head boundary and render content before a footer.
 
 If a chat footer looks duplicated or appears above the assistant message on mobile, start with `packages/app/src/agent-stream/layout.test.ts`. Do not add a React Native renderer test for this class of bug; make the pure layout invariant fail first.

 Selection stops at a Mermaid diagram. Native extracts Mermaid fences into separate views because the library exposes no native block renderer override. A diagram inside a list or quote therefore appears outside that container, and its following prose starts a separate Markdown fragment.

+/**
+ * React Native's scroll view with three maintainVisibleContentPosition corrections.
+ *
+ * An anchor removed by the mount it anchors. React Native picks the anchor before the mount and
+ * moves the offset by the anchor's movement after it. When the mount removes that view, its frame
+ * after the mount no longer describes the content, and the offset jumps by an unrelated amount.
+ * Android keeps a removed view's last frame, so it keeps the offset. This class keeps the offset on
+ * iOS too.
+ * The chat timeline hits this when it stops following its end: the same mount removes the end pin
+ * and opens the disclosure the reader tapped.
+ * React Native 0.88 skips the adjustment for a removed anchor
+ * (https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/57294). Its view-registry tag check matches the check
+ * here; its superview check also skips anchors that removeClippedSubviews detached
+ * (https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/58910). Remove this part once the installed React
+ * Native includes the tag check.
+ *
+ * The chat timeline's end pin during a drag. While the timeline follows its end, a zero-height view
+ * at the bottom of the content (native ID "paseo-end-pin", packages/app/src/agent-stream/
+ * native-end-pin.tsx) is the anchor, so every line that mounts scrolls the content by its height.
+ * A drag owns the offset from the frame it begins, and JS removes the pin only a round trip later.
+ * While the user drags, a mount anchored on the pin keeps the offset, so the line grows below the
+ * rows under the finger. Android's PaseoScrollView does the same.
+ *
+ * A shrink at the end. A mount that shrinks the content sets the smaller contentSize, and UIKit
+ * clamps contentOffset to the new end. React Native then adds the anchor's movement to the clamped
+ * offset, so the shrink is applied twice and the viewport lands above the content it kept.
+ * The chat timeline hits this when a finished turn folds while the end pin follows the latest row.
+ * https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/58578
+ * Remove once https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/58695 ships; it keeps the pre-mount
+ * offset and clamps after the adjustment, as this class does.
