Fix flicker issues by ensuring all actively changing content fits in the viewport (#1217) 2025-06-19 13:17:23 -07:00
Taylor Mullen 9c46acc793 Refactor: Improve UI rendering and address code review comments
This commit addresses several code review comments primarily focused on improving the rendering and stability of the CLI UI.

Key changes include:
- Passing `isPending` and `availableTerminalHeight` props to `MarkdownDisplay` to enable more intelligent rendering of content, especially for pending messages and code blocks.
- Adjusting height calculations in `ToolGroupMessage` and `ToolMessage` to more accurately reflect available space.
- Refining the logic in `App.tsx` for measuring and utilizing terminal height, including renaming `footerRef` to `mainControlsRef` for clarity.
- Ensuring consistent prop drilling for `isPending` and `availableTerminalHeight` through `HistoryItemDisplay`, `GeminiMessage`, and `GeminiMessageContent`.
- In `MarkdownDisplay`, when `isPending` is true and content exceeds `availableTerminalHeight`, the code block will now be truncated with a "... generating more ..." message. If there's insufficient space even for the
message, a simpler "... code is being written ..." will be shown.

Taylor Mullen 6cb6f47b56 Refactor: Replace MarkdownRenderer with MarkdownDisplay component
- This commit refactors the Markdown rendering logic within the CLI UI.
  The existing `MarkdownRenderer.tsx` class-based component has been
  replaced with a new functional component `MarkdownDisplay.tsx`.
- The `MarkdownDisplay` component is a React.memoized component for
  improved performance and maintains the same core Markdown parsing
  and rendering capabilities.

Taylor Mullen 5be89befef feat: Fix flickering in iTerm + scrolling + performance issues.
- Refactors history display using Ink's <Static> component to prevent flickering and improve performance by rendering completed items statically.
- Introduces ConsolePatcher component to capture and display console.log, console.warn, and console.error output within the Ink UI, addressing native handling issues.
- Introduce a new content splitting mechanism to work better for static items. Basically when content gets too long we will now split content into multiple blocks for Gemini messages to ensure that we can statically cache larger pieces of history.
