- Around line 575-588: Update ToolCardRows.render so running calls rebuild rows
instead of returning the cached frame when width, style, and running state are
unchanged; this ensures ToolCardTop reflects partial updates to its mutable
args. Keep the existing cache behavior for non-running calls.

Rebuild top rows while a call is running.
ToolCardTop stores the mutable args object by reference, but its lazy header runs only when the cache rebuilds. If a partial call updates that object while running remains true, the unchanged width, style, and running keys return stale header rows. The partial-result body bypasses caching, but the top rows do not.
🐛 Suggested fix
- return this.rows.render(target, running, () => floatRows(this.tone, this.theme, target, (inner) => ({
+ const build = () => floatRows(this.tone, this.theme, target, (inner) => ({
head: cardTopRows({ title: this.header(), glyph: this.glyph, body: [], tone: this.tone }, this.theme, inner, this.hint),
body: running ? [cardRunningLine(this.tone, this.theme, inner)] : undefined,
bottom: running ? cardBottom(this.tone, this.theme, inner) : undefined,
- })));

Review path and work units
Review the two commits independently. Total review load is 655 additions + 13 deletions across eight files.
9b5a99da, production fix and regressions: 272 changed lines. Start with the session-manager/leaf/model/window key, then card invalidation and cache bypasses.16718a7d, diagnostic runner, helper tests and usage documentation: 396 added lines. The diagnostic is not a speed gate or a change to the installed runtime.The branch includes current
mainchanges for expanded-write previews and session-profile freezing. No package versions, animation preferences, persisted Git identity, or active installation were changed.extensions/gentle-shell.tsextensions/quiet-tools.tstests/shell-render-cache.test.tstests/shell-render-cache-runtime.test.tsscripts/render-cache-performance.mjsscripts/render-cache-performance-worker.mjstests/render-cache-performance.test.tsdocs/render-cache-performance.mdEvidence
The full synthetic experiment used Pi and its own pi-tui 1.1.0, with exact editor constructor identity, quality animations active, 100/1,000/5,000 tools, 100/160 columns, float/neon styles and seven actions. Four paired replicas ran AB/BA/AB/BA in fresh processes.
Representative quality-pulse frames, float160, median of four replica medians:
At 5,000 tools, delivered-input-to-next-frame median changed 195.89 → 11.67 ms. In 50 stable pulse frames, counted paint calls changed 5,500,000 → 0, context projections 100 → 0, entry reads 200 → 0, with unchanged controlled pulse/request/ANSI-byte counts.
Tradeoffs and boundaries
9808b6ef25c54b83ccfca03c6d80fc2b3d4c71b9, before this branch's rebase. Post-rebase functional/package checks were rerun; the entire 31-minute matrix was not rerun against the unrelated latest-main changes.For reproduction, use two worktrees at the same baseline commit and apply only the production-fix patch to the candidate without committing it. Invoke the diagnostic from this branch with those roots and an installed Pi 1.1.0 package, writing to a new report path outside the source/host roots. The runner deliberately rejects different baseline HEADs.
Test plan
Observed after rebasing onto
9782d26d:pnpm test: 5,342 passed, 44 skipped, zero failures; provider-contract and runtime-harness stages passed.pnpm run typecheck: 186 recorded diagnostics, no regressions.pnpm run check:runtime-modules: generated runtime matches source.node scripts/verify-package-files.mjs: package resources passed.pnpm run test:packed-package: installed-package E2E passed, gentle-pi/Gentle AI 4.0.0.GENTLE_PI_AGENTS_CHILDflag removed.git diff --check; clean repository.Coverage gap: the explicit local
GENTLE_PI_REQUIRE_NATIVE_BINARY=1 pnpm testattempt failed because the package-local pinned binary was absent. The normal suite reports the corresponding skips rather than claiming those native checks ran. The packed-package E2E is a separate passing installation check. Required target CI must still be evaluated on GitHub.Additional pre-rebase evidence: RED/GREEN cache regressions, 1,792 identical component-output cases, 11 authoritative native statistics transitions including compaction/branch/model/new-session changes, and the completed full-frame matrix above.
Shellcheck: not applicable, no shell scripts changed. Skill runtime testing: not applicable, no skills changed.
