Background
Streaming assistant prose in tui2 was being rendered with viewport-width
wrapping during streaming, then stored in history cells as already split
`Line`s. Those width-derived breaks became indistinguishable from hard
newlines, so the transcript could not "un-split" on resize. This also
degraded copy/paste, since soft wraps looked like hard breaks.
What changed
- Introduce width-agnostic `MarkdownLogicalLine` output in
`tui2/src/markdown_render.rs`, preserving markdown wrap semantics:
initial/subsequent indents, per-line style, and a preformatted flag.
- Update the streaming collector (`tui2/src/markdown_stream.rs`) to emit
logical lines (newline-gated) and remove any captured viewport width.
- Update streaming orchestration (`tui2/src/streaming/*`) to queue and
emit logical lines, producing `AgentMessageCell::new_logical(...)`.
- Make `AgentMessageCell` store logical lines and wrap at render time in
`HistoryCell::transcript_lines_with_joiners(width)`, emitting joiners so
copy/paste can join soft-wrap continuations correctly.
Overlay deferral
When an overlay is active, defer *cells* (not rendered `Vec<Line>`) and
render them at overlay close time. This avoids baking width-derived
wraps based on a stale width.
Tests + docs
- Add resize/reflow regression tests + snapshots for streamed agent
output.
- Expand module/API docs for the new logical-line streaming pipeline and
clarify joiner semantics.
- Align scrollback-related docs/comments with current tui2 behavior
(main draw loop does not flush queued "history lines" to the terminal).
