Summary

Redesigns autter's terminal UI end to end and releases it as 2.3.0. Design, decisions and as-built notes: specs/roadmap/tui-onboarding-design.md.

Signup

• autter onboard opens with the "a." logo and walks one step rail of numbered questions. Each answered question collapses to one line, and the closing summary lists each problem with the command that fixes it.
• New sign-in screen for onboard and login: code, live countdown, Enter to reopen the browser, c to copy (OSC 52), Esc to continue locally or cancel. Polling stops when the user steps away.
• After a failed sign-in: retry, paste an access token (masked, validated before storing), or continue locally. This replaces the wall of fallback text.
• Integrations are a checklist of the detected tools plus git capture. Only checked tools get hooks; --yes still installs everything.

Everyday commands

• Bare autter at a terminal shows a status card built from local state only. autter help still lists every command.
• whoami shows a card; doctor shows a spinner per check that resolves in place; install-hooks lists tools on a rail.
• New autter stats -i (recent commits by AI share, with breakdown by tool and model) and autter blame -i <file> (AI/human/untracked gutter, line details, prompt transcript on Enter), built on ratatui, which was already a dependency.

Foundation

• New src/ui/ module: terminal detection, theme in the brand teal, header, rail, cliclack prompts, sign-in screen, timed confirm, and spinner.
• Color goes through one helper, so NO_COLOR and --no-color now apply to onboarding and login.
• ASCII and half-block fallbacks for legacy Windows consoles.

Compatibility

• Piped, --json and non-interactive output keep the same information.
• Spinner outcome lines move to stderr at a terminal; piped stdout keeps its exact lines.
• Selector: Esc now cancels, and the 1–9, Tab and Space shortcuts are gone.
• New dependencies: cliclack and console (console was already in the tree). textwrap raised the existing icu_* crates to 2.4. All of them need Rust 1.88 or older.

Release

• Bumps Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock and npm/package.json to 2.3.0 and adds the CHANGELOG.md section. Merging tags v2.3.0 and publishes.

Test plan

• cargo test --lib: 1999 pass. The 3 failures are environment-only, in untouched code (Windows symlink privilege, PowerShell timing in debug/diagnostics).
• New unit and snapshot tests:
  • terminal detection (desktop panel, Windows Terminal, conhost, locales, depth)
  • header variants, rail, sign-in layout and countdown, OSC 52 encoding
  • onboarding step counts and summary
  • whoami and home cards, bar splitting, blame line classification
  • a lint test against raw ANSI escapes in setup flows
• Integration (Windows): onboarding, install-hooks and upload-hold tests pass. Some blame/daemon tests time out intermittently in the harness's daemon wait (test_repo.rs:1925) and pass on rerun.
• Two upload_hold connect tests that fail on Windows on main too are fixed separately in Pin the credentials file in integration tests on Windows #77.
• cargo fmt --check clean. Clippy finds nothing in changed code; local 1.99 flags pre-existing lints elsewhere that pinned 1.93 does not.
• cargo run --example ui_preview checked in the Claude desktop terminal: true color and Unicode detected, header, selector, sign-in screen and multiselect render.
• Not yet exercised: a real browser sign-in against app.autter.dev on the new screen, and stats -i / blame -i on a real repo by a person.
