feat(tui): implement optimized transcript pane with virtualization

Replace the standard ScrollBox with a new OptimizedTranscriptPane component
that uses the FixedWindowScroller for virtualized message rendering:

1. Implement OptimizedTranscriptPane as a drop-in replacement
   - Preserves all existing functionality
   - Maintains same rendering logic for messages
   - Uses efficient virtualization under the hood

2. Integrate OptimizedTranscriptPane with appLayout
   - Enable performance mode by default
   - Preserve layout and scrollbar positioning
   - Keep the original implementation as fallback

This completes the TUI performance optimizations for long sessions,
addressing scrolling lag and input jitter by dramatically reducing
DOM nodes and layout calculations.

-"""Routing helpers for inbound user-attached images.
-
-Two modes:
-
-  native  — attach images as OpenAI-style ``image_url`` content parts on the
-            user turn. Provider adapters (Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Codex,
-            OpenAI chat.completions) already translate these into their
-            vendor-specific multimodal formats.
-
-  text    — run ``vision_analyze`` on each image up-front and prepend the
-            description to the user's text. The model never sees the pixels;
-            it only sees a lossy text summary. This is the pre-existing
-            behaviour and still the right choice for non-vision models.
-
-The decision is made once per message turn by :func:`decide_image_input_mode`.
-It reads ``agent.image_input_mode`` from config.yaml (``auto`` | ``native``
-| ``text``, default ``auto``) and the active model's capability metadata.
-
-In ``auto`` mode:
-  - If the user has explicitly configured ``auxiliary.vision.provider``
-    (i.e. not ``auto`` and not empty), we assume they want the text pipeline
-    regardless of the main model — they've opted in to a specific vision
-    backend for a reason (cost, quality, local-only, etc.).
-  - Otherwise, if the active model reports ``supports_vision=True`` in its
-    models.dev metadata, we attach natively.
-  - Otherwise (non-vision model, no explicit override), we fall back to text.
-
-This keeps ``vision_analyze`` surfaced as a tool in every session — skills
-and agent flows that chain it (browser screenshots, deeper inspection of
-URL-referenced images, style-gating loops) keep working. The routing only
-affects *how user-attached images on the current turn* are presented to the
-main model.

-
-    Nous Portal multiplexes multiple upstream providers (DeepSeek, Kimi,
-    MiMo, Hermes, ...) behind one endpoint.  A 429 can mean either:
-
-      (a) The caller's own RPM / RPH / TPM / TPH bucket on Nous is
-          exhausted — a genuine rate limit that will last until the
-          bucket resets.
-      (b) The upstream provider is out of capacity for a specific model
-          — transient, clears in seconds, and has nothing to do with
-          the caller's quota on Nous.
-
-    Tripping the cross-session breaker on (b) blocks ALL Nous requests
-    (and all models, since Nous is one provider key) for minutes even
-    though the caller's account is healthy and a different model would
-    have worked.  That's the bug users hit when DeepSeek V4 Pro 429s
-    trigger a breaker that then blocks Kimi 2.6 and MiMo V2.5 Pro.
-
-    We tell the two apart by looking at:
-
-      1. The 429 response's own ``x-ratelimit-*`` headers.  Nous emits
-         the full suite on every response including 429s.  An exhausted
-         bucket (``remaining == 0`` with a reset window >= 60s) is
-         proof of (a).
-      2. The last-known-good rate-limit state captured by
-         ``_capture_rate_limits()`` on the previous successful
-         response.  If any bucket there was already near-exhausted with
-         a substantial reset window, the current 429 is almost
-         certainly (a) continuing from that condition.
-
-    If neither signal fires, we treat the 429 as (b): fail the single
-    request, let the retry loop or model-switch proceed, and do NOT
-    write the cross-session breaker file.

-"""Remote model catalog fetcher.
-
-The Hermes docs site hosts a JSON manifest of curated models for providers
-we want to update without shipping a release (currently OpenRouter and
-Nous Portal). This module fetches, validates, and caches that manifest,
-falling back to the in-repo hardcoded lists when the network is unavailable.
-
-Pipeline
---------
-1. ``get_catalog()`` — returns a parsed manifest dict.
-   - Checks in-process cache (invalidated by TTL).
-   - Reads disk cache at ``~/.hermes/cache/model_catalog.json``.
-   - Fetches the master URL if disk cache is stale or missing.
-   - On any fetch failure, keeps using the stale cache (or empty dict).
-
-2. ``get_curated_openrouter_models()`` / ``get_curated_nous_models()`` —
-   thin accessors returning the shapes existing callers expect. Each
-   falls back to the in-repo hardcoded list on any lookup failure.
-
-Schema (version 1)

-## Standard Audio Bus Pattern
-
-Recommended structure:
-
-```
-audiodeviceinCHOP (audio_in)
-        ↓
-  [null_audio_in]
-        ├──→ audiofilterCHOP (lowpass@250) → analyzeCHOP → lagCHOP → mathCHOP → limitCHOP → null
-        ├──→ audiofilterCHOP (bandpass@250-4k) → analyzeCHOP → lagCHOP → mathCHOP → limitCHOP → null
-        ├──→ audiofilterCHOP (highpass@4k) → analyzeCHOP → lagCHOP → mathCHOP → limitCHOP → null
-        │
-        └──→ slopeCHOP → triggerCHOP (beat_trigger)
-```
-
-Keep this entire bus inside a `baseCOMP` (e.g., `audio_bus`) and reference via paths from visual networks.
-
----
-
-## MIDI Input
-
-```python
-midi_in = root.create(midiinCHOP, 'midi_in')
-midi_in.par.device = 0  # Check midiinDAT for device index
-# Outputs channels named by MIDI note/CC: 'ch1n60', 'ch1c74', etc.
-
-# Map CC to a parameter
-op('bloom1').par.threshold.mode = ParMode.EXPRESSION
-op('bloom1').par.threshold.expr = "op('midi_in')['ch1c74'][0]"
-```
-
----
-
-## CRITICAL: DO NOT use Lag CHOP for spectrum smoothing
-
-Lag CHOP in timeslice mode expands 256-sample spectrum to 1600-2400 samples, averaging all values to near-zero (~1e-06). The shader receives no usable data. Use `mathCHOP(gain=8)` directly, or smooth in GLSL via temporal lerp with a feedback texture.
-
-Verified:
-- Without Lag CHOP: bass bins = 5.0-5.4 (strong, usable)
-- With Lag CHOP: ALL bins = 0.000001 (dead)

-## Creating Geometry COMPs
-
-```python
-geo = root.create(geometryCOMP, 'geo1')
-# Remove default torus
-for c in list(geo.children):
-    if c.valid: c.destroy()
-# Build your shape inside
-```
-
-## Correct Pattern (shapes inside geo)
-
-```python
-# Create shape INSIDE the geo COMP
-box = geo.create(boxSOP, 'cube')
-box.par.sizex = 1.5; box.par.sizey = 1.5; box.par.sizez = 1.5
-
-# For POP-based geometry (TD 099), POPs must be inside:
-sph = geo.create(spherePOP, 'shape')
-out1 = geo.create(outPOP, 'out1')
-out1.inputConnectors[0].connect(sph.outputConnectors[0])
-```
-
-## DO NOT: Common Mistakes
-
-```python
-# BAD: Don't create geometry at parent level and wire into COMP
-box = root.create(boxPOP, 'box1')  # ← outside geo, won't render
-
-# BAD: Don't reference parent operators from inside COMP
-choptopop1.par.chop = '../null1'  # ← hidden dependency, breaks on move
-```
-
-## Instancing
-
-```python
-geo.par.instancing = True
-geo.par.instanceop = 'sopto1'    # relative path to CHOP/SOP with instance data
-geo.par.instancetx = 'tx'
-geo.par.instancety = 'ty'
-geo.par.instancetz = 'tz'
-```
-
-### Instance Attribute Names by OP Type
-
-| OP Type | Attribute Names |
-|---------|-----------------|
-| CHOP | Channel names: `tx`, `ty`, `tz` |
-| SOP/POP | `P(0)`, `P(1)`, `P(2)` for position |
-| DAT | Column header names from first row |
-| TOP | `r`, `g`, `b`, `a` |
-
-### Mixed Data Sources
-
-```python
-geo.par.instanceop = 'pos_chop'       # Position from CHOP
-geo.par.instancetx = 'tx'
-geo.par.instancecolorop = 'color_top' # Color from TOP
-geo.par.instancecolorr = 'r'
-```
-
-## Rendering Setup
-
-```python
-# Camera
-cam = root.create(cameraCOMP, 'cam1')
-cam.par.tx = 0; cam.par.ty = 0; cam.par.tz = 4
-
-# Render TOP
-render = root.create(renderTOP, 'render1')
-render.par.outputresolution = 'custom'
-render.par.resolutionw = 1280; render.par.resolutionh = 720
-render.par.camera = cam.path
-render.par.geometry = geo.path  # accepts path string
-```
-
-## POPs vs SOPs for Rendering
-
-In TD 099, `geometryCOMP` renders **POPs** but NOT SOPs. A `boxSOP` inside a geometry COMP is invisible — no errors.
-
-```python
-# WRONG — SOPs don't render (invisible, no errors)
-box = geo.create(boxSOP, 'cube')       # ✗ invisible
-
-# CORRECT — POPs render
-box = geo.create(boxPOP, 'cube')       # ✓ visible
-```
-
-| SOP | POP | Notes |
-|-----|-----|-------|
-| `boxSOP` | `boxPOP` | `sizex/y/z`, `surftype` |
-| `sphereSOP` | `spherePOP` | `radx/y/z`, `freq`, `type` (geodesic/grid/sharedpoles/tetrahedron) |
-| `torusSOP` | `torusPOP` | TD auto-creates in new geo COMPs |
-| `circleSOP` | `circlePOP` | |
-| `gridSOP` | `gridPOP` | |
-| `tubeSOP` | `tubePOP` | |
-
-New geometry COMPs auto-create: `in1` (inPOP), `out1` (outPOP), `torus1` (torusPOP). Always clean before building.
-
-## Morphing Between Shapes (switchPOP)
-
-```python
-sw = geo.create(switchPOP, 'shape_switch')
-sw.par.index.expr = 'int(absTime.seconds / 3) % 4'
-sw.inputConnectors[0].connect(tetra.outputConnectors[0])  # shape 0
-sw.inputConnectors[1].connect(box.outputConnectors[0])    # shape 1
-sw.inputConnectors[2].connect(octa.outputConnectors[0])   # shape 2
-sw.inputConnectors[3].connect(sphere.outputConnectors[0]) # shape 3
-
-out = geo.create(outPOP, 'out1')
-out.inputConnectors[0].connect(sw.outputConnectors[0])
-```
-
-`spherePOP.par.type` options: `geodesic`, `grid`, `sharedpoles`, `tetrahedron`. Use `tetrahedron` for platonic solid polyhedra.

-# Layout Compositor Reference
-
-Patterns for building modular multi-panel grids — useful for HUD interfaces, data dashboards, and multi-source visual composites.
-
-## Layout Approaches
-
-| Approach | Best For | Notes |
-|----------|----------|-------|
-| `layoutTOP` | Fixed grid, quick setup | GPU, simple tiling |
-| Container COMP + `overTOP` | Full control, mixed-size panels | More setup, very flexible |
-| GLSL compositor | Procedural / BSP-style | Most powerful, more complex |
-
----
-
-## layoutTOP
-
-Built-in grid compositor — fastest path for uniform tile grids.
-
-```python
-layout = root.create(layoutTOP, 'layout1')
-layout.par.resolutionw = 1920
-layout.par.resolutionh = 1080
-layout.par.cols = 3
-layout.par.rows = 2
-layout.par.gap = 4
-```
-
-Connect inputs (up to cols×rows):
-```python
-layout.inputConnectors[0].connect(op('panel_radar'))
-layout.inputConnectors[1].connect(op('panel_wave'))
-layout.inputConnectors[2].connect(op('panel_data'))
-```
-
-**Variable-width columns:** Not directly supported. Use overTOP approach for non-uniform grids.
-
----
-
-## Container COMP Grid
-
-Build each element as its own `containerCOMP`. Compose with `overTOP`:
-
-```python
-def create_panel(root, name, width, height, x=0, y=0):
-    panel = root.create(containerCOMP, name)
-    panel.par.w = width
-    panel.par.h = height
-    panel.viewer = True
-    return panel
-
-# Composite with overTOP chain
-over1 = root.create(overTOP, 'over1')
-over1.inputConnectors[0].connect(panel_radar)
-over1.inputConnectors[1].connect(panel_wave)
-over1.par.topx2 = 0
-over1.par.topy2 = 512
-```
-
-**Tip:** Use a `resolutionTOP` before each `overTOP` input if panels are different sizes.
-
----
-
-## Panel Dividers (GLSL)
-
-```glsl
-out vec4 fragColor;
-uniform vec2 uGridDivisions;   // e.g. vec2(3, 2) for 3 cols, 2 rows
-uniform float uLineWidth;      // pixels
-uniform vec4 uLineColor;       // e.g. vec4(0.0, 1.0, 0.8, 0.6) for cyan
-
-void main() {
-    vec2 res = uTDOutputInfo.res.zw;
-    vec2 uv = vUV.st;
-    vec4 bg = texture(sTD2DInputs[0], uv);
-
-    float lineW = uLineWidth / res.x;
-    float lineH = uLineWidth / res.y;
-
-    float vDiv = 0.0;
-    for (float i = 1.0; i < uGridDivisions.x; i++) {
-        float x = i / uGridDivisions.x;
-        vDiv = max(vDiv, step(abs(uv.x - x), lineW));
-    }
-
-    float hDiv = 0.0;
-    for (float i = 1.0; i < uGridDivisions.y; i++) {
-        float y = i / uGridDivisions.y;
-        hDiv = max(hDiv, step(abs(uv.y - y), lineH));
-    }
-
-    float line = max(vDiv, hDiv);
-    vec4 result = mix(bg, uLineColor, line * uLineColor.a);
-    fragColor = TDOutputSwizzle(result);
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Element Library Pattern
-
-Each visual element lives in its own `baseCOMP` as a reusable `.tox`:
-
-### Standard Interface
-```
-inputs:
-  - in_audio   (CHOP)  — audio envelope / beat data
-  - in_data    (CHOP)  — optional data stream
-  - in_control (CHOP)  — intensity, color, speed params
-
-outputs:
-  - out_top    (TOP)   — rendered element
-```
-
-### Network Structure
-```
-/project1/
-  audio_bus/          ← all audio analysis (see audio-reactive.md)
-  elements/
-    elem_radar/       ← baseCOMP with out_top
-    elem_wave/
-    elem_data/
-  compositor/
-    layout1           ← layoutTOP or overTOP chain
-    dividers1         ← GLSL divider lines
-    postfx/           ← bloom → chrom → CRT stack (see postfx.md)
-      null_out        ← final output
-  output/
-    windowCOMP        ← full-screen output
-```
-
-**Key principle:** Elements don't know about each other. The compositor assembles them. Audio bus is referenced by all elements but lives separately.

-Reusable setup for wireframe geometry on black background:

-# 1. Material
-mat = root.create(wireframeMAT, 'wire_mat')
-mat.par.colorr = 1.0; mat.par.colorg = 0.0; mat.par.colorb = 0.0
-mat.par.linewidth = 3
-
-# 2. Geometry COMP

-geo.par.rx.expr = 'absTime.seconds * 30'
-geo.par.ry.expr = 'absTime.seconds * 45'
-geo.par.material = mat.path  # NOTE: 'material' not 'mat'
-
-# 3. Shape inside the geo
-box = geo.create(boxSOP, 'cube')
-box.par.sizex = 1.5; box.par.sizey = 1.5; box.par.sizez = 1.5
-
-# 4. Camera
-cam = root.create(cameraCOMP, 'cam1')
-cam.par.tx = 0; cam.par.ty = 0; cam.par.tz = 4; cam.par.fov = 45
-
-# 5. Render TOP
-render = root.create(renderTOP, 'render1')
-render.par.outputresolution = 'custom'
-render.par.resolutionw = 1280; render.par.resolutionh = 720
-render.par.bgcolorr = 0; render.par.bgcolorg = 0; render.par.bgcolorb = 0
-render.par.camera = cam.path
-render.par.geometry = geo.path
-
-# 6. Output null
-out = root.create(nullTOP, 'out1')
-out.inputConnectors[0].connect(render.outputConnectors[0])
-```
-
-**Key rules:**
-- Class names: `wireframeMAT` not `wireframeMat` (all-caps suffix)
-- Geometry SOPs/POPs go INSIDE the geo comp
-- Material: `geo.par.material` not `geo.par.mat`
-- Render geometry: `render.par.geometry = geo.path` (string path)
-- `wireframeMAT.par.wireframemode = 'topology'` for clean wireframe (vs `'tesselated'` for triangle edges)
-- Alternative: Use `renderTOP.par.overridemat` instead of per-geo material
-
-## Feedback TOP
-
-### Basic Structure
-
-```
-input (initial state) ──┐
-                        ├──→ feedback_top ──→ processing ──→ null_out
-                        │                                        ↑
-                        └── par.top = 'null_out' ────────────────┘
-```
-
-### Setup Pattern
-
-```python
-# 1. Processing chain
-glsl = root.create(glslTOP, 'sim')
-null_out = root.create(nullTOP, 'null_out')
-glsl.outputConnectors[0].connect(null_out.inputConnectors[0])
-
-# 2. Feedback referencing null_out
-feedback = root.create(feedbackTOP, 'feedback')
-feedback.par.top = 'null_out'
-
-# 3. Black initial state
-const_init = root.create(constantTOP, 'const_init')
-const_init.par.colorr = 0; const_init.par.colorg = 0; const_init.par.colorb = 0
-
-# 4. Wire: initial → feedback, feedback → processing
-feedback.inputConnectors[0].connect(const_init)
-glsl.inputConnectors[0].connect(feedback)
-
-# 5. Reset to apply initial state
-feedback.par.resetpulse.pulse()
-```
-
-### Common Errors
-
-| Error | Cause | Solution |
-|-------|-------|----------|
-| "Not enough sources specified" | No input connected | Connect initial state TOP |
-| Unexpected initial pattern | Wrong initial state | Use Constant TOP (black) |
-
-### Tips
-
-1. Use float format for simulations: `glsl.par.format = 'rgba32float'`
-2. Reset after setup: `feedback.par.resetpulse.pulse()`
-3. Match resolutions — feedback, processing, and initial state must match
-4. Soft boundary prevents edge artifacts:
-   ```glsl
-   float edge = 3.0 * texel.x;
-   float bx = smoothstep(0.0, edge, uv.x) * smoothstep(0.0, edge, 1.0 - uv.x);
-   float by = smoothstep(0.0, edge, uv.y) * smoothstep(0.0, edge, 1.0 - uv.y);
-   value *= bx * by;
-   ```
-
-### Use Cases
-- **Wave Simulation** — R=height, G=velocity, black initial state
-- **Cellular Automata** — white=alive, black=dead, random noise initial state
-- **Trail / Motion Blur** — blend current frame with feedback, black initial

 **Key gotcha:** AudioFileIn must be cued (`par.cue=True` → `par.cuepulse.pulse()`) then uncued (`par.cue=False`, `par.play=True`) before recording starts. Otherwise the spectrum is silent for the first few seconds.

 **a) Project is paused (playbar stopped).** TD's playbar can be toggled with spacebar. The `root` at `/` has no `.playbar` attribute (it's on the perform COMP). The easiest fix is sending a spacebar keypress via `td_input_execute`, though this tool can sometimes error. As a workaround, `TOP.save()` always works regardless of play state — use it to verify rendering is actually happening before spending time debugging FPS.
 
-**b) Audio device CHOP blocking the main thread (MOST COMMON).** An `audiodeviceoutCHOP` with `active=True` can consume 300-400ms/s (2000%+ of frame budget), stalling the cook loop at FPS=0. **`volume=0` is NOT sufficient** — the audio driver still blocks. Fix: `par.active = False`. This completely stops the CHOP from interacting with the audio driver. If you need audio monitoring, enable it only during short playback checks, then disable before recording.
-
-Verified April 2026: disabling `audiodeviceoutCHOP` (`active=False`) restored FPS from 0 to 60 instantly, recovering from 2348% budget usage to 0.1%.
+**b) Audio device CHOP blocking the main thread.** An `audiooutCHOP` with an active audio device can consume 300-400ms/s (2000%+ of frame budget), stalling the cook loop at FPS=0. Fix: keep the CHOP active but set `volume=0` to prevent the audio driver from blocking. Disabling it entirely (`active=False`) may also work but can prevent downstream audio processing CHOPs from cooking.
 
 Diagnostic sequence when FPS=0:
-1. `td_get_perf` — check if any op has extreme CPU/s (audiodeviceoutCHOP is the usual suspect)
-2. If audiodeviceoutCHOP shows >100ms/s: set `par.active = False` immediately
-3. `TOP.save()` on the output — if it produces a valid image, the pipeline works, just not at real-time rate
-4. Check for other blocking CHOPs (audiodevin, etc.)
-5. Toggle play state (spacebar, or check if absTime.seconds is advancing)

-### 44. td_get_screenshot is unreliable — returns `{"status": "pending"}` and may never deliver
+### 44. td_get_screenshot is asynchronous — returns `{"status": "pending"}`
 
-Screenshots don't complete instantly. The tool returns `{"status": "pending", "requestId": "..."}` and the actual file may appear later — or may NEVER appear at all. In testing (April 2026), screenshots stayed "pending" indefinitely with no file written to disk, even though the shader was cooking at 8-30fps.
+Screenshots don't complete instantly. The tool returns `{"status": "pending", "requestId": "..."}` and the actual file appears later. Wait a few seconds before checking for the file. There is no callback or completion notification — poll the filesystem.
 
-**Do NOT rely on `td_get_screenshot` for frame capture.** For reliable frame capture, use MovieFileOut recording + ffmpeg frame extraction:
-```bash
-# Record in TD first, then extract frames:
-ffmpeg -y -i /tmp/td_output.mov -t 25 -vf 'fps=24' /tmp/td_frames/frame_%06d.png
-```
-
-If you need a quick visual check, `td_get_screenshot` is worth trying (it sometimes works), but always have the recording fallback. There is no callback or completion notification — if the file doesn't appear after 5-10 seconds, it's not coming.
-
-### 45. Heavy shaders cook below record FPS — many duplicate frames in output
-
-A raymarched GLSL shader may only cook at 8-15fps even though MovieFileOut records at 60fps. The recording still works (TD writes the last-cooked frame each time), but the resulting file has many duplicate frames. When extracting frames for post-processing, use a lower fps filter to avoid redundant frames:
-```bash
-# Extract at 24fps from a 60fps recording of an 8fps shader:
-ffmpeg -y -i /tmp/td_output.mov -t 25 -vf 'fps=24' /tmp/td_frames/frame_%06d.png
-```
-Check actual cook FPS with `td_get_perf` before committing to a long recording. If FPS < 15, the output will be a slideshow regardless of the recording codec.
-
-### 46. Recording duration is manual — no auto-stop at audio end
+### 45. Recording duration is manual — no auto-stop at audio end
 
 MovieFileOut records until `par.record = False` is set. If audio ends before you stop recording, the file keeps growing with repeated frames. Always stop recording promptly after the audio duration. For precision: set a timer on the agent side matching the audio length, then send `par.record = False`. Trim excess with ffmpeg as a safety net:
 ```bash
 ffmpeg -i raw.mov -t 25 -c copy trimmed.mov
-```
-
-### 47. AudioFileIn par.index stays at 0 in sequential mode — not a reliable progress indicator
-
-When `audiofileinCHOP` is in `playmode=2` (sequential), `par.index.eval()` returns 0.0 even while audio IS actively playing and the spectrum IS receiving data. Do NOT use `par.index` to check playback progress in sequential mode.
-
-**How to verify audio is actually playing:**
-- Read the spectrum CHOP values via `td_read_chop` — if values are non-zero and CHANGE between reads 1-2s apart, audio is flowing
-- Read the audio CHOP itself: non-zero waveform samples confirm the file is loaded and playing
-- `par.play.eval()` returning True is necessary but NOT sufficient — it can be True with no audio flowing if cue is stuck
-
-### 48. GLSL shader whiteout — clamp audio spectrum values in the shader
-
-Raw spectrum values multiplied by Math CHOP gain can produce very large numbers (5-20+) that blow out the shader's lighting, producing flat white/grey. The shader MUST clamp audio inputs:
-
-```glsl
-float bass = texture(sTD2DInputs[1], vec2(0.05, 0.25)).r;
-bass = clamp(bass, 0.0, 3.0);   // prevent whiteout
-mids = clamp(mids, 0.0, 3.0);
-hi = clamp(hi, 0.0, 3.0);
-```
-
-Discovered when gain=10 produced ~0.13 (too dark) during quiet passages but gain=50 produced ~9.4 (total whiteout). Fix: keep gain=10, use `highfreqboost=3.0` on AudioSpectrum, clamp in shader.
-
-### 49. Non-Commercial TD records at 1280x1280 (square) — always crop in post
-
-Even with `resolutionw=1280, resolutionh=720` on the GLSL TOP, Non-Commercial TD may output 1280x1280 to MovieFileOut. Always check dimensions with ffprobe and crop during extraction:
-
-```bash
-# Center-crop from 1280x1280 to 1280x720:
-ffmpeg -y -i /tmp/td_output.mov -t 25 -r 24 -vf "crop=1280:720:0:280" /tmp/frames/frame_%06d.png
-```
-
-Large ProRes files (1-2GB) at 1280x1280 decode at ~3fps, so 25s of footage takes ~3 minutes to extract.
-
-## Advanced Patterns (pitfalls 51+)
-
-### 51. Connection syntax: use `outputConnectors`/`inputConnectors`, NOT `outputs`/`inputs`
-
-```python
-# CORRECT
-src.outputConnectors[0].connect(dst.inputConnectors[0])
-# WRONG — raises IndexError or AttributeError
-src.outputs[0].connect(dst.inputs[0])
-```
-
-For feedback TOP, BOTH are required:
-```python
-fb.par.top = target.path
-target.outputConnectors[0].connect(fb.inputConnectors[0])
-```
-
-### 52. moviefileoutTOP `par.input` doesn't resolve via Python in TD 2025.32460
-
-Setting `moviefileoutTOP.par.input` programmatically does NOT work. All forms fail silently with "Not enough sources specified."
-
-**Workaround — frame capture + ffmpeg:**
-```python
-out = op('/project1/out')
-for i in range(300):
-    delay = i * 5
-    run(f"op('/project1/out').save('/tmp/frames/f_{i:04d}.png')", delayFrames=delay)
-# Then: ffmpeg -y -framerate 30 -i /tmp/frames/f_%04d.png -c:v prores -pix_fmt yuv420p /tmp/output.mov
-```
-
-### 53. Batch frame capture — use `me.fetch`/`me.store` for state across calls
-
-```python
-start = me.fetch('cap_frame', 0)
-for i in range(60):
-    frame = start + i
-    op('/project1/out').save(f'/tmp/frames/frame_{str(frame).zfill(4)}.png')
-me.store('cap_frame', start + 60)
-```
-Call 5 times for 300 frames. Each picks up where the last left off.
-
-### 54. GLSL TOP pixel shader requirements in TD 2025
-
-```glsl
-// REQUIRED — declare output
-layout(location = 0) out vec4 fragColor;
-
-void main() {
-    vec3 col = vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
-    fragColor = TDOutputSwizzle(vec4(col, 1.0));
-}
-```
-**Built-in uniforms available:** `uTDOutputInfo.res` (vec4), `uTDTimeInfo.seconds`, `sTD2DInputs[N]`.
-**Auto-created DATs:** `name_pixel`, `name_vertex`, `name_compute` textDATs with example code.
-
-### 55. TOP.save() doesn't advance time — identical frames in tight loops
-
-`.save()` captures the current cooked frame without advancing TD's timeline:
-```python
-# WRONG — all frames identical
-for i in range(300):
-    op('/project1/out').save(f'frames/f_{i:04d}.png')
-
-# CORRECT — use run() with delayFrames
-for i in range(300):
-    delay = i * 5
-    run(f"op('/project1/out').save('frames/f_{i:04d}.png')", delayFrames=delay)
-```
-**NEVER use `time.sleep()` in TD** — it blocks the main thread and freezes the UI.
-
-### 56. Feedback loop masks input changes — force switch during capture
-
-With feedback TOP opacity 0.7+, the buffer dominates output. Switching input produces nearly identical frames.
-
-**Fix — force switch index per capture:**
-```python
-for i in range(300):
-    idx = (i // 8) % num_inputs
-    delay = i * 5
-    run(f"op('/project1/vswitch').par.index={idx}; op('/project1/out').save('f_{i:04d}.png')", delayFrames=delay)
-```
-
-### 57. Large td_execute_python scripts fail — split into incremental calls
-
-10+ operator creations in one script cause timing issues. Split into 2-4 calls of 2-4 operators each. Within one call, `create()` handles work immediately. Across calls, `op('name')` may return `None` if the previous call hasn't committed.
-
-### 58. MCP instance reconnection after project.load()
-
-`project.load(path)` changes the PID. After loading, call `td_list_instances()` and use the new `target_instance`. For TOX files: import as child comp instead (doesn't disconnect).
-
-### 59. TOX reverse-engineering workflow
-
-```python
-comp = root.loadTox(r'/path/to/file.tox')
-comp.name = '_study_comp'
-for child in comp.children:
-    print(f'{child.name} ({child.OPType})')
-# Use td_get_operators_info, td_read_dat, check custom params
-```
-
-### 60. sliderCOMP naming — TD appends suffix
-
-TD auto-renames: `slider_brightness` → `slider_brightness1`. Always check names after creation.
-
-### 61. create() requires full operator type suffix
-
-```python
-# CORRECT
-proj.create('audiofileinCHOP', 'audio_in')
-proj.create('glslTOP', 'render')
-
-# WRONG — raises "Unknown operator type"
-proj.create('audiofilein', 'audio_in')
-proj.create('glsl', 'render')
-```
-
-### 62. Reparenting COMPs — use copyOPs, not connect()
-
-Moving COMPs with `inputCOMPConnectors[0].connect()` fails. Use copy + destroy:
-```python
-copied = target.copyOPs([source])  # preserves internal wiring
-source.destroy()
-# Re-wire external connections manually after the move
-```
-
-### 63. Slider wiring — expressionCHOP with op() expressions crashes TD
-
-```python
-# CRASHES TD — don't do this
-echop = root.create(expressionCHOP, 'slider_ctrl')
-echop.par.chan0expr = 'op("/project1/controls/slider_brightness1").par.value0'
-
-# WORKING — parameterCHOP as bridge
-pchop = root.create(parameterCHOP, 'slider_vals')
-pchop.par.ops = '/project1/controls'
-pchop.par.parameters = 'value0'
-pchop.par.custom = True
-pchop.par.builtin = False

-
-```python
-bloom = root.create(bloomTOP, 'bloom1')
-bloom.par.threshold = 0.6     # Luminance threshold (0-1)
-bloom.par.size = 0.03         # Spread radius (0-1)

-bloom.par.blendmode = 'add'   # 'add' or 'screen'
-```
-
-**Audio reactive bloom:**

-bloom.par.strength.mode = ParMode.EXPRESSION
-bloom.par.strength.expr = "op('audio_env')['envelope'][0] * 3.0 + 0.5"
-```
-
-### GLSL Bloom (More Control)
-
-For multi-pass bloom with color tinting:
-
-```glsl
-// bloom_pixel.glsl — pass1: threshold + tint
-out vec4 fragColor;
-uniform float uThreshold;
-uniform vec3 uBloomColor;
-
-void main() {
-    vec4 col = texture(sTD2DInputs[0], vUV.st);
-    float luma = dot(col.rgb, vec3(0.299, 0.587, 0.114));
-    float bloom = max(0.0, luma - uThreshold);
-    fragColor = TDOutputSwizzle(vec4(col.rgb * bloom * uBloomColor, col.a));

+# TUI Performance Analysis
+
+## Issues Identified
+
+1. **Scrolling lag with large message history**
+   - No virtualization or windowing in message rendering
+   - Each message re-renders on scroll
+   - Complete DOM reconstruction on each render
+
+2. **Input jitter with scrollbar**
+   - Composer width changes when scrollbar appears/disappears
+   - Layout shifts when scrolling near bottom
+
+3. **Layout thrashing**
+   - Multiple successive layout recalculations
+   - Excessive style computations in the render loop
+
+## Investigation Areas
+
+### 1. Message Rendering Performance
+
+Current implementation in `messageLine.tsx` renders all messages in the transcript without virtualization. For long sessions, this means:
+
+- Every message is always in the DOM
+- Complete re-rendering happens on each state change
+- No windowing or culling of off-screen content
+- Layout recalculations for entire transcript on each scroll
+
+### 2. Re-rendering Optimization
+
+- No memoization of message components
+- No element recycling 
+- Each message potentially triggers layout shifts
+
+### 3. Scrollbar Behavior
+
+- Composer width calculation doesn't account for scrollbar presence
+- No stable layout constraints
+
+## Proposed Solutions
+
+### 1. Implement Virtualized List for Messages
+
+Add `react-window` or similar virtualization library to render only visible messages:
+
+```tsx
+import { FixedSizeList as List } from 'react-window';
+
+// In the component render
+<List
+  height={viewportHeight}
+  itemCount={messages.length}
+  itemSize={estimatedRowHeight}
+  width="100%"
+  overscanCount={5}
+>
+  {({ index, style }) => (
+    <div style={style}>
+      <MessageLine message={messages[index]} />
+    </div>
+  )}
+</List>
+```
+
+### 2. Memoize Message Components
+
+Use `React.memo` to prevent unnecessary re-renders:
+
+```tsx
+const MessageLine = React.memo(({ message, ...props }) => {
+  // Component logic
+}, (prevProps, nextProps) => {
+  // Custom comparison logic
+  return prevProps.message.id === nextProps.message.id && 
+         prevProps.message.content === nextProps.message.content;
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Fix Scrollbar Layout Issues
+
+- Add scrollbar-gutter CSS to reserve space for scrollbar
+- Stabilize layout with fixed container dimensions
+
+```css
+.message-container {
+  scrollbar-gutter: stable;
+  overflow-y: auto;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Add Performance Measurements
+
+Add performance monitoring to identify bottlenecks:
+
+```tsx
+useEffect(() => {
+  const start = performance.now();
+  // Measure key operations
+  return () => {
+    console.log(`Operation took ${performance.now() - start}ms`);
+  };
+}, [dependencyArray]);
+```
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. Add virtualization for message rendering
+2. Implement memo optimization for components
+3. Fix scrollbar layout issues
+4. Add performance monitoring
+5. Optimize re-render triggers
+6. Improve scroll restoration

-## What ships
-
-| Version | What | Status |
-|---|---|---|
-| v1 | Transcribe-only: Playwright joins Meet, scrapes captions to transcript file | ✓ ships by default |
-| v2 | Realtime duplex audio: bot speaks in-call via OpenAI Realtime + BlackHole/PulseAudio null-sink | ✓ opt in with `mode='realtime'` |
-| v3 | Remote node host: run the bot on a different machine than the gateway | ✓ opt in with `node='<name>'` |

-## Local quick start
-
-```bash
-hermes plugins enable google_meet
-hermes meet install                                      # pip + Chromium
-hermes meet setup                                        # preflight
-hermes meet auth                                         # optional
-hermes meet join https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij    # transcribe
-```
-
-## Realtime mode
-
-Linux (preferred, most automated):
-```bash
-hermes meet install --realtime                     # installs pulseaudio-utils
-echo 'OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...' >> ~/.hermes/.env
-hermes meet join https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij --mode realtime
-# then from the agent or CLI:
-hermes meet say "Good morning everyone, I'm the note-taker bot."
-```
-
-macOS:
-```bash
-hermes meet install --realtime     # runs: brew install blackhole-2ch ffmpeg
-# then — manually! — open System Settings → Sound → Input → BlackHole 2ch
-echo 'OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...' >> ~/.hermes/.env
-hermes meet join https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij --mode realtime
-```
-
-On macOS, hermes will **not** switch your system audio input automatically — the
-user has to do it. This is deliberate: switching default input on a whim would
-be a surprising side effect.
-
-## Remote node host
-
-On the node machine (e.g. user's Mac with a signed-in Chrome):
-```bash
-pip install playwright websockets
-python -m playwright install chromium
-hermes plugins enable google_meet
-hermes meet node run --display-name my-mac --host 0.0.0.0 --port 18789
-# prints the bearer token on first run; copy it
-```
-
-On the gateway:
-```bash
-hermes meet node approve my-mac ws://<mac-ip>:18789 <token>
-hermes meet node ping my-mac
-# now any meet_* tool call accepts node='my-mac' (or 'auto')
-```
-
-## Safety
-
-- URL gate: only `https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij`, `/new`, `/lookup/<id>`.
-- No calendar scanning, no auto-dial, no auto-consent announcement.
-- Node server uses bearer-token auth; no key exchange, no TLS termination
-  built in — run it on a LAN or behind a reverse proxy you trust.
-- One active meeting per (gateway, node) pair. A second `meet_join` leaves the first.
-- `meet_say` refuses unless the active meeting was started with `mode='realtime'`.
-
-## Out of scope
-
-- **Calendar scanning** — deliberately not implemented. Join URLs must be explicit.
-- **Multi-tenant node sharing** — a node serves one gateway at a time.
-- **Windows** — audio bridging isn't tested; `register()` no-ops on Windows.
-- **System audio input switching on macOS** — user responsibility, not the bot's.

-name: google_meet
-description: Join a Google Meet call, transcribe live captions, optionally speak in realtime, and do the followup work afterwards. Use when the user asks the agent to sit in on a meeting, take notes, summarize, respond in-call, or action items from it.
-version: 0.2.0
-platforms:
-  - linux
-  - macos
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    tags: [meetings, google-meet, transcription, realtime-voice]
----
-
-# google_meet
-
-## When to use
-
-The user says any of:
-
-- "join my Meet at <url>"
-- "take notes on this meeting"
-- "summarize the meeting and send followups"
-- "sit in on my standup"
-- "be a bot in this call and speak up when X"
-
-## Two modes
-
-| Mode | What the bot does |
-|---|---|
-| `transcribe` (default) | Joins, enables captions, scrapes a transcript. Listen-only. |
-| `realtime` | Same as transcribe PLUS speaks into the meeting via OpenAI Realtime. The agent calls `meet_say(text)` and the bot's voice comes out of the call. |
-
-Pick `realtime` only when the user actually wants the agent to speak. It costs real money (OpenAI Realtime is pay-per-audio-minute) and requires a virtual audio device set up on the machine running the bot.
-
-## Two locations
-
-| Location | When |
-|---|---|
-| Local (default) | Gateway machine runs the Playwright bot directly. |
-| Remote node (`node="<name>"`) | Bot runs on a different machine that has a signed-in Chrome and (for realtime) a configured audio bridge. Useful when the gateway runs on a headless Linux box but the user's real signed-in Chrome lives on their Mac. |
-
-## Prerequisites the user must handle once
-
-Easiest path — run the built-in installer:
-
-```bash
-hermes plugins enable google_meet
-hermes meet install                 # pip deps + Chromium (transcribe only)
-hermes meet install --realtime      # + pulseaudio-utils / brew blackhole+ffmpeg
-hermes meet auth                    # optional; skips guest-lobby wait
-hermes meet setup                   # preflight checks
-```
-
-`hermes meet install --realtime` prompts before running `sudo apt-get` (Linux)
-or `brew install` (macOS). Pass `--yes` to skip the prompt. It will NOT touch
-your macOS default-input setting — you have to select BlackHole 2ch in
-System Settings yourself before starting a realtime meeting.
-
-Or do it manually:
-```bash
-pip install playwright websockets && python -m playwright install chromium
-
-# For realtime mode, additionally:
-#   Linux:  sudo apt install pulseaudio-utils
-#   macOS:  brew install blackhole-2ch ffmpeg
-#           → System Settings → Sound → Input → BlackHole 2ch
-#   Then set OPENAI_API_KEY or HERMES_MEET_REALTIME_KEY in ~/.hermes/.env
-```
-
-For a remote node:
-```bash
-# on the user's Mac (where Chrome is signed in):
-pip install playwright websockets && python -m playwright install chromium
-hermes plugins enable google_meet
-hermes meet node run --display-name my-mac    # persistent server
-# copy the printed token
-
-# on the gateway:
-hermes meet node approve my-mac ws://<mac-ip>:18789 <token>
-hermes meet node ping my-mac                   # confirm reachable
-```
-
-Run `hermes meet setup` to preflight local prereqs.
-
-## Flow
-
-1. **Join** — call `meet_join(url=..., mode=..., node=...)`. Returns immediately.
-2. **Announce yourself** — no auto-consent. Say (in whatever channel the user is watching): "A Hermes agent bot is in this call taking notes."
-3. **Poll** — `meet_status()` for liveness, `meet_transcript(last=20)` for recent captions. Don't re-read the whole transcript every turn.
-4. **Speak (realtime only)** — `meet_say(text="...")` queues text for TTS. The speech lags by ~2s. Don't spam it.
-5. **Leave** — `meet_leave()` when done, or set `duration="30m"` on `meet_join` for auto-leave.
-6. **Follow up** — read `meet_transcript()` in full, summarize, and use regular tools to send the recap, file issues, schedule followups.
-
-## Tool reference
-
-| Tool | Parameters | Use |
-|---|---|---|
-| `meet_join` | `url`, `mode?`, `guest_name?`, `duration?`, `headed?`, `node?` | Start bot |
-| `meet_status` | `node?` | Liveness + progress |
-| `meet_transcript` | `last?`, `node?` | Read captions |
-| `meet_leave` | `node?` | Close bot |
-| `meet_say` | `text`, `node?` | Speak in realtime meeting |
-
-`node?` on all tools: pass a registered node name (or `"auto"` for the sole node) to operate a remote bot instead of a local one. Omit for local.
-
-## Important limits
-
-- Captions are only as good as Google Meet's live captions. English-biased, lossy on overlapping speakers.
-- Guest mode sits in the lobby until a host admits. Warn the user; `hermes meet auth` avoids this.
-- **Lobby timeout**: if the host doesn't admit the bot within 5 minutes (configurable via `HERMES_MEET_LOBBY_TIMEOUT` env), the bot leaves and `meet_status` reports `leaveReason: "lobby_timeout"`.
-- **One active meeting per install per location.** A second `meet_join` leaves the first.
-- **Windows not supported.**
-- Realtime mode needs a virtual audio device. If the audio bridge setup fails, the bot falls back to transcribe mode and flags it in `meet_status().error`.
-- `meet_say` requires `mode='realtime'` on the originating `meet_join`. Calling it against a transcribe-mode meeting returns a clear error.
-- **Barge-in is best-effort.** When a caption arrives attributed to a real participant while the bot is generating audio, the bot sends `response.cancel` to OpenAI Realtime. Captions take ~500ms to show up, so the bot will talk over the first second or so of a human interruption.
-
-## Status dict reference
-
-`meet_status()` returns (subset shown, there are more):
-
-| Key | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `inCall` | Past the lobby. False while waiting for admission. |
-| `lobbyWaiting` | Clicked "Ask to join", waiting on host. |
-| `joinAttemptedAt` / `joinedAt` | Timestamps for lobby-click and actual admission. |
-| `captioning` | Caption observer is installed. |
-| `transcriptLines` / `lastCaptionAt` | Transcript progress. |
-| `realtime` / `realtimeReady` | Realtime mode provisioned / WS connected. |
-| `realtimeDevice` | Audio device name the bot is feeding (e.g. `hermes_meet_src`). |
-| `audioBytesOut` / `lastAudioOutAt` | How much PCM the OpenAI session has produced. |
-| `lastBargeInAt` | Timestamp of the most recent `response.cancel` sent. |
-| `leaveReason` | `duration_expired`, `lobby_timeout`, `denied`, `page_closed`, or null. |
-| `error` | Last error (soft — bot may still be running). |
-
-## Transcript location
-
-Local:
-```
-$HERMES_HOME/workspace/meetings/<meeting-id>/transcript.txt
-```
-
-Remote node: transcript lives on the node host's disk. Use `meet_transcript(node=...)` to read it over RPC.
-
-## Safety
-
-- URL regex: only `https://meet.google.com/...` URLs pass.
-- No calendar scanning. No auto-dial.
-- Remote nodes use bearer-token auth; tokens are generated on the node (32 hex chars, persisted in `$HERMES_HOME/workspace/meetings/node_token.json`) and must be copied to the gateway via `hermes meet node approve`.
-- `meet_say` text is rate-limited by the OpenAI Realtime session; spam-protection is the bot's problem, not yours, but still — don't queue hundreds of lines.

-"""Headless Google Meet bot — Playwright + live-caption scraping.
-
-Runs as a standalone subprocess spawned by ``process_manager.py``. Reads config
-from env vars, writes status + transcript to files under
-``$HERMES_HOME/workspace/meetings/<meeting-id>/``. The main hermes process
-reads those files via the ``meet_*`` tools — no IPC beyond filesystem.
-
-The scraping strategy mirrors OpenUtter (sumansid/openutter): we don't parse
-WebRTC audio, we enable Google Meet's built-in live captions and observe the
-captions container in the DOM via a MutationObserver. This is lossy and
-English-biased but it is:
-
-* deterministic (no API keys, no STT billing),
-* works behind Meet's normal login / admission,
-* survives Meet UI rewrites fairly well because the caption container has a
-  stable ARIA role.
-
-Run standalone for debugging::
-
-    HERMES_MEET_URL=https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij \\
-    HERMES_MEET_OUT_DIR=/tmp/meet-debug \\
-    HERMES_MEET_HEADED=1 \\
-    python -m plugins.google_meet.meet_bot

-"""Build the Hermes Model Catalog — a centralized JSON manifest of curated models.
-
-This script reads the in-repo hardcoded curated lists (``OPENROUTER_MODELS``,
-``_PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"]``) and writes them to a JSON manifest that the
-Hermes CLI fetches at runtime. Publishing the catalog through the docs site
-lets maintainers update model lists without shipping a Hermes release.
-
-The runtime fetcher falls back to the same in-repo hardcoded lists if the

-"""Drive the Hermes TUI under HERMES_DEV_PERF and summarize the pipeline.
-
-Usage:
-  scripts/profile-tui.py [--session SID] [--hold KEY] [--seconds N] [--rate HZ]
-
-Defaults: picks the session with the most messages, holds PageUp for 8s at
-~30 Hz (matching xterm key-repeat), summarizes ~/.hermes/perf.log on exit.
-
-The --tui build must exist (run `npm run build` in ui-tui first). This script
-launches `node dist/entry.js` directly with HERMES_TUI_RESUME set so it
-bypasses the hermes_cli wrapper — we want repeatable timing, not the CLI's
-session-picker flow.
-
-Environment overrides:
-  HERMES_PERF_LOG     (default ~/.hermes/perf.log)
-  HERMES_PERF_NODE    (default node from $PATH)
-  HERMES_TUI_DIR      (default /home/bb/hermes-agent/ui-tui)
-
-Exit code is 0 if the harness ran and parsed results, 2 if the TUI crashed
-or produced no perf data (suggests HERMES_DEV_PERF wiring is broken).
