+# Ink TUI Wizard Skill
+
+Build beautiful, interactive terminal wizard interfaces using Ink (React for CLIs).
+
+Ink is the dominant Node.js TUI framework — used by Claude Code (Anthropic), Gemini CLI
+(Google), GitHub Copilot CLI, Cloudflare Wrangler, Shopify CLI, Prisma, and many others.
+
+## When to use this skill
+
+- Creating multi-step CLI installation or setup wizards
+- Building reactive, session-driven terminal interfaces
+- Adding real-time progress, spinners, or status displays to CLI tools
+- Any Node.js/TypeScript CLI that needs more than sequential prompts
+
+## Core architecture
+
+This skill follows a **reactive session-driven** pattern: the rendered screen is a pure
+function of session state. Business logic sets state through store setters. The router
+derives which screen should be active. Nobody imperatively pushes screens around.
+
+See [references/ARCHITECTURE.md](references/ARCHITECTURE.md) for the full reactive
+architecture: session, router, store, screen resolution, overlays, and data flow.
+
+### Key concepts
+
+- **WizardSession** (`src/lib/wizard-session.ts`) — single source of truth for all wizard decisions
+- **WizardRouter** (`src/ui/tui/router.ts`) — declarative flow pipelines with `isComplete` predicates per screen
+- **WizardStore** (`src/ui/tui/store.ts`) — nanostores-backed reactive store with explicit setters that trigger React re-renders via `useSyncExternalStore`
+- **WizardUI** (`src/ui/wizard-ui.ts`) — interface bridging business logic to store; implemented by `InkUI` (TUI) and `LoggingUI` (CI)
+- **Screen registry** (`src/ui/tui/screen-registry.tsx`) — factory function mapping screen names to components (App.tsx never changes)
+- **Services** (`src/ui/tui/services/`) — injected into screens via props (no dynamic imports in React components)
+- **Overlays** — interrupt stack for outage/error modals, orthogonal to flows
+
+### Adding a screen
+
+1. Create the component in `src/ui/tui/screens/`
+2. Add to `Screen` enum in `router.ts`
+3. Add a `FlowEntry` to the flow array with an `isComplete` predicate
+4. Register in `screen-registry.tsx`
+
+No other files change.
+
+### Adding store state
+
+Two patterns depending on the data:
+
+- **Session state** (affects screen resolution): add field to `WizardSession`, add setter to `WizardStore` that calls `emitChange()`, add method to `WizardUI` interface + both implementations
+- **Observation state** (display-only, e.g., agent progress): add private atom to `WizardStore`, add getter + setter, add method to `WizardUI` interface + both implementations
+
+Read `store.ts` for examples of both patterns.
+
+### Layout primitives
+
+The project has reusable layout primitives in `src/ui/tui/primitives/`.
+**Always use these instead of building from scratch.**
+
+All primitives are barrel-exported from `src/ui/tui/primitives/index.ts`.
+See [references/PRIMITIVES.md](references/PRIMITIVES.md) for the catalog.
+Read each primitive's source file for its current props interface.
+
+Shared style constants (`Colors`, `Icons`, `HAlign`, `VAlign`) live in
+`src/ui/tui/styles.ts`.
+
+**Playground**: Run `pnpm try --playground` to see all primitives in action.
+
+### Enums everywhere
+
+All state comparisons use TypeScript enums — no string literals. See the source files for current values:
+
+- `Screen`, `Overlay`, `Flow` — in `router.ts`
+- `RunPhase`, `OutroKind` — in `wizard-session.ts`
+- `TaskStatus` — in `wizard-ui.ts`
+
+### Key dependencies
+
+```
+ink                   # Core: React renderer for terminals (uses Yoga for Flexbox)
+react                 # Peer dependency
+@inkjs/ui             # Official component library: Select, TextInput, Spinner,
+                      # ProgressBar, ConfirmInput, MultiSelect, Badge,
+                      # StatusMessage, Alert, OrderedList, UnorderedList
+figures               # Unicode/ASCII symbol fallbacks (cross-platform)
+```
+
+**Do NOT use** the older standalone packages (`ink-text-input`, `ink-select-input`,
+`ink-spinner`). The `@inkjs/ui` package supersedes them.

+
+## Ink rendering model
+
+Ink is `react-dom` but for terminals. It uses Yoga (Facebook's Flexbox engine) for layout.
+Every `<Box>` is a flex container. All visible text MUST be inside `<Text>`.
+
+| Browser             | Ink                                            |
+| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `<div>`             | `<Box>`                                        |
+| `<span>`            | `<Text>`                                       |
+| CSS / className     | Props directly on `<Box>` and `<Text>`         |
+| `onClick`           | `useInput()` hook                              |
+| `window.innerWidth` | `useStdout().stdout.columns`                   |
+| scroll              | `<Box overflow="hidden">` + manual offset      |
+| `display: block`    | `<Box flexDirection="column">`                 |
+| `display: flex`     | Default — every `<Box>` is already flex        |
+
+## Terminal compatibility
+
+- **Small terminals**: Check `useStdout().stdout.columns` and `.rows`
+- **Piped input**: Detect `!process.stdin.isTTY` and fall back to LoggingUI
+- **CI environments**: `--ci` flag uses LoggingUI (no TUI, no prompts)
+- **Dark mode**: `start-tui.ts` forces black background via ANSI escape codes
+- **True black text**: Use `color="#000000"` not `color="black"` (terminals render ANSI black as grey)
+- **Ctrl+C**: Ink handles via `useApp().exit()`

+# TUI Architecture: Reactive Flow, State, and Screen Management
+
+## Core principle
+
+The rendered screen is a pure function of session state. Nobody imperatively pushes screens around. Business logic sets state through store setters, the router derives which screen should be active.
+
+## Session
+
+**Source of truth:** `src/lib/wizard-session.ts` — read the `WizardSession` interface for current fields.
+
+`WizardSession` is the single source of truth for every decision the wizard needs: CLI args, detection results, OAuth credentials, lifecycle phase, and runtime display data.
+
+`buildSession(args)` creates a session from CLI args. Pre-TUI fields (`installDir`, `integration`, `frameworkConfig`) can be set directly. Reactive fields that affect screen resolution must go through store setters.
+
+Key enums (defined in `wizard-session.ts`):
+- `RunPhase` — lifecycle phase (Idle → Running → Completed | Error)
+- `OutroKind` — outro outcome (Success, Error, Cancel)
+
+## Router
+
+**Source of truth:** `src/ui/tui/router.ts` — read the flow arrays for current screen predicates.
+
+### Screen resolution
+
+The `WizardRouter` has a `resolve(session)` method that walks the flow pipeline and returns the first incomplete screen:
+
+```ts
+resolve(session: WizardSession): ScreenName {
+  if (overlays.length > 0) return top overlay;
+  for (entry of flow) {
+    if (entry.show && !entry.show(session)) continue;  // skip hidden
+    if (entry.isComplete && entry.isComplete(session)) continue;  // skip complete
+    return entry.screen;  // first incomplete = active
+  }
+  return last screen;  // all complete
+}
+```
+
+There is no cursor. No `advance()`. No `jumpTo()`. The screen is resolved fresh every render.
+
+### Flow definitions
+
+Flows are declarative arrays of `FlowEntry`:
+
+```ts
+interface FlowEntry {
+  screen: Screen;
+  show?: (session: WizardSession) => boolean;      // skip if false
+  isComplete?: (session: WizardSession) => boolean; // resolved if true
+}
+```
+
+See `router.ts` for the current wizard flow pipeline and `isComplete` predicates per screen.
+
+### Enums
+
+See `router.ts` for current values:
+- `Screen` — flow screen names
+- `Overlay` — interrupt screen names
+- `Flow` — named flow pipelines
+
+### Overlays
+
+Overlays are interrupts — they push on top of the flow and pop to resume:
+
+```ts
+store.pushOverlay(Overlay.Outage);  // outage screen appears
+store.popOverlay();                  // flow screen resumes
+```
+
+Overlays don't affect the flow. They're orthogonal.
+
+### Adding a screen
+
+1. Add to `Screen` enum in `router.ts`
+2. Add a `FlowEntry` to the flow array with an `isComplete` predicate
+3. Create the component in `screens/`
+4. Register in `screen-registry.tsx`
+
+No other files change.
+
+## Store
+
+**Source of truth:** `src/ui/tui/store.ts` — read the class for current setters, atoms, and accessors.
+
+`WizardStore` uses nanostores atoms internally and exposes `subscribe()`/`getSnapshot()` for React's `useSyncExternalStore`.
+
+### Pattern: session setters
+
+Every session mutation that affects screen resolution goes through an explicit setter. Each setter mutates the field and calls `emitChange()`, which bumps a version counter and triggers React re-renders. On the next render, `store.currentScreen` calls `router.resolve(session)`.
+
+Read the "Session setters" section of `store.ts` for the current list.
+
+### Pattern: observation state
+
+Agent-produced data (not part of session flow) is stored in separate atoms on the store:
+
+- `$statusMessages` / `pushStatus()` — agent log lines
+- `$tasks` / `syncTodos()`, `setTasks()` — agent task progress
+- `$eventPlan` / `setEventPlan()` — planned analytics events from `.posthog-events.json`
+
+These follow the same pattern: private atom → public getter → public setter that calls `emitChange()`.
+
+## WizardUI interface
+
+**Source of truth:** `src/ui/wizard-ui.ts` — read the interface for current methods.
+
+The bridge between business logic and the store. Business logic calls `getUI()` methods, which translate to store setters in the TUI implementation (`InkUI` in `src/ui/tui/ink-ui.ts`).
+
+Two categories of methods:
+- **Session-mutating** — trigger screen resolution (e.g., `startRun()`, `setCredentials()`, `outro()`)
+- **Observation** — display-only updates (e.g., `pushStatus()`, `syncTodos()`, `setEventPlan()`)
+
+There are NO prompt methods. The TUI screens own all user input.
+
+Both `InkUI` (TUI) and `LoggingUI` (`src/ui/logging-ui.ts`, CI mode) implement this interface.
+
+## Screen registry
+
+**Source of truth:** `src/ui/tui/screen-registry.tsx`
+
+Maps screen names to React components. App.tsx calls the factory. Adding a screen to the registry requires no changes to App.tsx.
+
+## Services
+
+**Source of truth:** `src/ui/tui/services/`
+
+Screens receive services via props instead of importing business logic. Services are created in the registry and injected into screens. Testable, swappable, no dynamic imports in React components.
+
+## Error boundaries
+
+`ScreenContainer` wraps every screen in a `ScreenErrorBoundary`. On crash:
+1. Sets `outroData` with error message
+2. Sets `runPhase = Error`
+3. Router resolves to Outro
+
+See `src/ui/tui/primitives/ScreenErrorBoundary.tsx`.
+
+## Dark mode
+
+`start-tui.ts` forces a black terminal background via ANSI escape codes on startup and resets on exit.
+
+## Data flow summary
+
+```
+Business logic         →  getUI().setX()
+  → InkUI              →  store.setX()
+    → Store             →  atom.set(value); emitChange()
+      → React re-render →  store.currentScreen → router.resolve(session)
+        → Router        →  walks flow, returns first incomplete screen
+```

+Source: https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink (v5.x, 35k+ stars)
+
+## Components
+
+### `<Text>`
+
+Displays text with styling. All visible text MUST be inside `<Text>`.
+Nested `<Text>` is allowed for inline styling. `<Box>` CANNOT be inside `<Text>`.
+
+```tsx
+<Text color="green">I am green</Text>
+<Text color="#005cc5">Hex color</Text>
+<Text color="rgb(232, 131, 136)">RGB color</Text>
+<Text bold>Bold</Text>
+<Text italic>Italic</Text>
+<Text underline>Underlined</Text>
+<Text strikethrough>Strikethrough</Text>
+<Text inverse>Inversed</Text>

+
+// Nested inline styling
+<Text>Status: <Text color="green" bold>Ready</Text></Text>
+```
+
+**Props:**
+- `color: string` — Text color. Supports chalk color names, hex (#005cc5), rgb()
+- `backgroundColor: string` — Background color. Same format as color
+- `dimColor: boolean` — Make color less bright
+- `bold: boolean`
+- `italic: boolean`
+- `underline: boolean`
+- `strikethrough: boolean`
+- `inverse: boolean` — Swap foreground/background
+- `wrap: 'wrap' | 'truncate' | 'truncate-start' | 'truncate-middle' | 'truncate-end'`

+<Box width={7}><Text wrap="truncate">Hello World</Text></Box>  // "Hello…"
+<Box width={7}><Text wrap="truncate-middle">Hello World</Text></Box> // "He…ld"
+<Box width={7}><Text wrap="truncate-start">Hello World</Text></Box>  // "…World"
+```
+
+### `<Box>`
+
+Essential layout component. Like `<div style="display: flex">` in the browser.
+Every `<Box>` is a Flexbox container by default.
+
+**Dimension props:**
+- `width: number | string` — Width in spaces. Supports percentages: `width="50%"`
+- `height: number | string` — Height in lines. Supports percentages
+- `minWidth: number`
+- `minHeight: number`
+
+**Padding props:**
+- `padding: number` — All sides
+- `paddingX: number` — Left and right
+- `paddingY: number` — Top and bottom
+- `paddingTop / paddingBottom / paddingLeft / paddingRight: number`
+
+**Margin props:**
+- `margin: number` — All sides
+- `marginX: number` — Left and right
+- `marginY: number` — Top and bottom
+- `marginTop / marginBottom / marginLeft / marginRight: number`
+
+**Gap props:**
+- `gap: number` — Shorthand for columnGap + rowGap
+- `columnGap: number`
+- `rowGap: number`
+
+**Flex props:**
+- `flexDirection: 'row' | 'row-reverse' | 'column' | 'column-reverse'`
+- `flexGrow: number` (default: 0)
+- `flexShrink: number` (default: 1)
+- `flexBasis: number | string`
+- `flexWrap: 'nowrap' | 'wrap' | 'wrap-reverse'`
+- `alignItems: 'flex-start' | 'center' | 'flex-end'`
+- `alignSelf: 'auto' | 'flex-start' | 'center' | 'flex-end'`
+- `justifyContent: 'flex-start' | 'center' | 'flex-end' | 'space-between' | 'space-around' | 'space-evenly'`
+
+**Border props:**
+- `borderStyle: 'single' | 'double' | 'round' | 'bold' | 'singleDouble' | 'doubleSingle' | 'classic' | BoxStyle`
+- `borderColor: string` — All sides. Same color format as Text
+- `borderTopColor / borderRightColor / borderBottomColor / borderLeftColor: string`
+- `borderDimColor: boolean` — Dim all border colors
+- `borderTopDimColor / borderRightDimColor / borderBottomDimColor / borderLeftDimColor: boolean`
+- `borderTop / borderRight / borderBottom / borderLeft: boolean` (default: true) — Show/hide individual sides
+
+Custom border style:
+```tsx
+<Box borderStyle={{
+  topLeft: '↘', top: '↓', topRight: '↙',
+  left: '→', bottomLeft: '↗', bottom: '↑',
+  bottomRight: '↖', right: '←'
+}}>
+  <Text>Custom borders</Text>
+</Box>
+```
+
+**Background:**
+- `backgroundColor: string` — Fills entire Box area. Inherited by child Text unless overridden.
+
+```tsx
+<Box backgroundColor="cyan" borderStyle="round" padding={1} alignSelf="flex-start">
+  <Text>Background with border and padding</Text>
+</Box>
+```
+
+**Visibility:**
+- `display: 'flex' | 'none'` — Set to `none` to hide
+- `overflow: 'visible' | 'hidden'` — Shorthand for overflowX + overflowY
+- `overflowX / overflowY: 'visible' | 'hidden'`
+
+### `<Newline>`
+
+Adds newline characters. Must be used within `<Text>`.
+
+- `count: number` (default: 1)
+
+### `<Spacer>`
+
+Flexible space that expands along the major axis. Like `flex-grow: 1`.
+
+```tsx
+<Box>
+  <Text>Left</Text>
+  <Spacer />
+  <Text>Right</Text>
+</Box>
+```
+
+### `<Static>`
+
+Permanently renders output above everything else. Items are rendered once and never
+re-rendered. Ideal for completed tasks, logs, or any output that doesn't change.
+
+Used by Gatsby (page generation list), tap (test results), and similar tools.
+
+```tsx
+<Static items={completedTasks}>
+  {(task) => (
+    <Box key={task.id}>
+      <Text color="green">✔ {task.title}</Text>
+    </Box>
+  )}
+</Static>
+
+{/* Live content below — keeps updating */}
+<Box marginTop={1}>
+  <Text dimColor>Completed: {completedTasks.length}</Text>
+</Box>
+```
+
+**Props:**
+- `items: Array<T>` — Array of items to render
+- `style: object` — Styles for the container (same as Box props)
+- `children: (item: T, index: number) => ReactNode` — Render function. Must return element with `key`.
+
+**Important:** Only NEW items appended to the array are rendered. Changes to previously
+rendered items are ignored. This is by design for performance.
+
+### `<Transform>`
+
+Transforms string output of child components before rendering. Only applies to
+`<Text>` children. Must not change output dimensions.
+
+```tsx
+<Transform transform={output => output.toUpperCase()}>
+  <Text>Hello World</Text>
+</Transform>
+// Renders: "HELLO WORLD"
+
+// Hanging indent (different transform per line):
+<Transform transform={(line, index) =>
+  index === 0 ? line : '    ' + line
+}>
+  <Text>{longParagraph}</Text>
+</Transform>
+```
+
+## Hooks
+
+### `useInput(handler, options?)`
+
+Handle keyboard input. The handler receives each character or the full pasted string.
+
+```tsx
+useInput((input, key) => {
+  if (input === 'q') exit();
+  if (key.leftArrow) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.return) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.escape) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.tab) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.backspace) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.delete) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.pageUp) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.pageDown) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.upArrow) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.downArrow) { /* ... */ }
+  if (key.ctrl) { /* Ctrl held */ }
+  if (key.shift) { /* Shift held */ }
+  if (key.meta) { /* Meta/Alt held */ }
+});
+```
+
+**Options:**
+- `isActive: boolean` — Enable/disable the handler. Default: true. Useful for
+  disabling input in inactive tabs or when a modal is open.
+
+### `useApp()`
+
+Returns: `{ exit: (error?: Error) => void }`
+
+Call `exit()` to quit the app. Pass an Error to exit with non-zero code.
+
+### `useStdin()`
+
+Returns: `{ stdin: NodeJS.ReadStream, isRawModeSupported: boolean, setRawMode: (mode: boolean) => void }`
+
+### `useStdout()`
+
+Returns: `{ stdout: NodeJS.WriteStream, write: (data: string) => void }`
+
+Key properties on `stdout`:
+- `stdout.columns` — Terminal width
+- `stdout.rows` — Terminal height
+
+### `useStderr()`
+
+Returns: `{ stderr: NodeJS.WriteStream, write: (data: string) => void }`
+
+### `useFocus(options?)`
+
+Makes a component focusable. Navigate between focusable components with Tab/Shift+Tab.
+
+```tsx
+const { isFocused } = useFocus();
+// or
+const { isFocused } = useFocus({ autoFocus: true }); // focus on mount
+const { isFocused } = useFocus({ isActive: false });  // temporarily disable
+const { isFocused } = useFocus({ id: 'my-input' });   // named focus target
+```
+
+### `useFocusManager()`
+
+Programmatically control focus.
+
+```tsx
+const { focusNext, focusPrevious, focus, enableFocus, disableFocus } = useFocusManager();
+
+focusNext();           // Move focus to next focusable element
+focusPrevious();       // Move focus to previous
+focus('my-input');     // Focus specific element by id
+disableFocus();        // Disable all focus management
+enableFocus();         // Re-enable focus management
+```
+
+### `useCursor()`
+
+Set cursor position relative to Ink output. Use `string-width` for accurate positioning
+with CJK/emoji characters.
+
+```tsx
+const { setCursorPosition } = useCursor();
+setCursorPosition({ x: 5, y: 1 }); // position cursor
+setCursorPosition(undefined);        // hide cursor
+```
+
+## `render()` API
+
+```tsx
+import { render } from 'ink';
+
+const { unmount, waitUntilExit, rerender, clear } = render(<App />);
+
+await waitUntilExit(); // Promise that resolves when app exits
+unmount();             // Manually unmount
+rerender(<App updated />); // Re-render with new props
+clear();               // Clear output
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Ink provides `ink-testing-library` for unit testing:
+
+```tsx
+import { render } from 'ink-testing-library';
+
+const { lastFrame, stdin, frames } = render(<MyComponent />);
+
+// Check rendered output
+expect(lastFrame()).toContain('Hello');
+
+// Simulate input
+stdin.write('q');
+
+// Check all frames rendered
+expect(frames).toHaveLength(2);
+```

+# @inkjs/ui Component Reference
+
+Official component library for Ink. Provides themeable, production-ready UI widgets.
+Source: https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink-ui
+
+Install: `npm install @inkjs/ui`
+
+All components import from `@inkjs/ui`. Do NOT use the older standalone packages
+(ink-text-input, ink-select-input, ink-spinner) — this package supersedes them.
+
+## Input Components
+
+### TextInput
+
+Single-line text input.
+
+```tsx
+import { TextInput } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<TextInput
+  placeholder="Enter your API key..."
+  onSubmit={(value) => { /* value is the entered string */ }}
+/>
+```
+
+### EmailInput
+
+Text input validated for email format.
+
+```tsx
+import { EmailInput } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<EmailInput
+  placeholder="you@example.com"
+  onSubmit={(value) => { /* validated email string */ }}
+/>
+```
+
+### PasswordInput
+
+Masked text input for sensitive values.
+
+```tsx
+import { PasswordInput } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<PasswordInput
+  placeholder="Enter password..."
+  onSubmit={(value) => { /* password string */ }}
+/>
+```
+
+### ConfirmInput
+
+Yes/No confirmation prompt.
+
+```tsx
+import { ConfirmInput } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<ConfirmInput
+  onConfirm={() => { /* user confirmed */ }}
+  onCancel={() => { /* user cancelled */ }}
+/>
+```
+
+### Select
+
+Scrollable single-select list. User picks one option.
+
+```tsx
+import { Select } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<Select
+  options={[
+    { label: 'Next.js', value: 'nextjs' },
+    { label: 'React (Vite)', value: 'react-vite' },
+    { label: 'Vue', value: 'vue' },
+    { label: 'Svelte', value: 'svelte' },
+  ]}
+  onChange={(newValue) => {
+    // newValue equals the `value` field of the selected option
+    // e.g. "nextjs"
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+### MultiSelect
+
+Scrollable multi-select list. User picks one or more options.
+
+```tsx
+import { MultiSelect } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<MultiSelect
+  options={[
+    { label: 'Session Recording', value: 'session-recording' },
+    { label: 'Feature Flags', value: 'feature-flags' },
+    { label: 'A/B Testing', value: 'ab-testing' },
+    { label: 'Surveys', value: 'surveys' },
+  ]}
+  onChange={(newValues) => {
+    // newValues is an array of selected value fields
+    // e.g. ["session-recording", "feature-flags"]
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+## Feedback Components
+
+### Spinner
+
+Animated loading indicator.
+
+```tsx
+import { Spinner } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<Spinner label="Installing dependencies..." />
+```
+
+### ProgressBar
+
+Determinate progress indicator. Extended version of Spinner.
+
+```tsx
+import { ProgressBar } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+// progress must be a number between 0 and 100
+<Box width={30}>
+  <ProgressBar value={progress} />
+</Box>
+```
+
+Full example with state:
+```tsx
+const [progress, setProgress] = useState(0);
+
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (progress === 100) return;
+  const timer = setTimeout(() => setProgress(p => p + 1), 50);
+  return () => clearTimeout(timer);
+}, [progress]);
+
+return (
+  <Box width={30}>
+    <ProgressBar value={progress} />
+  </Box>
+);
+```
+
+### Badge
+
+Colored status indicator label.
+
+```tsx
+import { Badge } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<Badge color="green">Pass</Badge>
+<Badge color="red">Fail</Badge>
+<Badge color="yellow">Warn</Badge>
+<Badge color="blue">Todo</Badge>
+```
+
+### StatusMessage
+
+Status indicator with icon and longer explanation text.
+
+```tsx
+import { StatusMessage } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<StatusMessage variant="success">
+  PostHog snippet added to your app
+</StatusMessage>
+
+<StatusMessage variant="error">
+  Failed to install posthog-js
+</StatusMessage>
+
+<StatusMessage variant="warning">
+  No API key found in environment
+</StatusMessage>
+
+<StatusMessage variant="info">
+  Using default configuration
+</StatusMessage>
+```
+
+### Alert
+
+Boxed alert message for important information.
+
+```tsx
+import { Alert } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<Alert variant="info">
+  Your PostHog project key was found in .env
+</Alert>
+```
+
+## List Components
+
+### OrderedList
+
+Numbered list with nesting support.
+
+```tsx
+import { OrderedList } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+<OrderedList>
+  <OrderedList.Item>
+    <Text>Install posthog-js</Text>
+  </OrderedList.Item>
+  <OrderedList.Item>
+    <Text>Add initialization code</Text>
+    <OrderedList>
+      <OrderedList.Item>
+        <Text>Import PostHog</Text>
+      </OrderedList.Item>
+      <OrderedList.Item>
+        <Text>Call posthog.init()</Text>
+      </OrderedList.Item>
+    </OrderedList>
+  </OrderedList.Item>
+  <OrderedList.Item>
+    <Text>Verify events</Text>
+  </OrderedList.Item>
+</OrderedList>
+```
+
+### UnorderedList
+
+Bulleted list with nesting support. Same API pattern as OrderedList.
+
+## Theming
+
+All @inkjs/ui components are styled via a theme system using React context.
+You can customize any component's appearance.
+
+### Using the default theme
+
+Components work out of the box with the default theme.
+
+### Customizing the theme
+
+```tsx
+import { render, type TextProps } from 'ink';
+import { Spinner, ThemeProvider, extendTheme, defaultTheme } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+const posthogTheme = extendTheme(defaultTheme, {
+  components: {
+    Spinner: {
+      styles: {
+        frame: (): TextProps => ({
+          color: 'magenta',
+        }),
+      },
+    },
+    StatusMessage: {
+      styles: {
+        icon: ({ variant }): TextProps => ({
+          color: {
+            success: 'green',
+            error: 'red',
+            warning: 'yellow',
+            info: '#1d4aff',  // PostHog blue
+          }[variant],
+        }),
+      },
+    },
+  },
+});
+
+function App() {
+  return (
+    <ThemeProvider theme={posthogTheme}>
+      <Spinner label="Loading..." />
+    </ThemeProvider>
+  );
+}
+
+render(<App />);
+```
+
+### Theme structure
+
+Each component's theme has:
+- `styles` — Functions that return TextProps or BoxProps based on component state
+- `config` — Non-visual configuration (like list markers, default values)
+
+Access a component's theme in custom components:
+```tsx
+import { useComponentTheme } from '@inkjs/ui';
+
+const theme = useComponentTheme('Spinner');
+```
+
+## Combining with core Ink
+
+These components compose naturally with core Ink layout:
+
+```tsx
+<Box flexDirection="column" gap={1}>
+  <Text bold>Configure PostHog features:</Text>
+
+  <MultiSelect
+    options={featureOptions}
+    onChange={setSelectedFeatures}
+  />
+
+  {selectedFeatures.length > 0 && (
+    <StatusMessage variant="success">
+      {selectedFeatures.length} features selected
+    </StatusMessage>
+  )}
+
+  <Box marginTop={1}>
+    <Text dimColor>Press enter to continue</Text>
+  </Box>
+</Box>
+```

+# Layout Patterns & Design Recipes
+
+Common patterns for building wizard-style TUIs with Ink.
+
+## Layout patterns
+
+### Full-screen app shell (3-zone layout)
+
+The standard wizard layout: header → content → footer.
+
+```tsx
+import { Box, Text, useStdout } from 'ink';
+
+const AppShell = ({ header, children, footer }) => {
+  const { stdout } = useStdout();
+
+  return (
+    <Box flexDirection="column" height={stdout.rows}>
+      {/* Header — fixed height */}
+      <Box paddingX={1} justifyContent="space-between">
+        {header}
+      </Box>
+
+      {/* Content — fills remaining space */}
+      <Box flexDirection="column" flexGrow={1} paddingX={2} overflow="hidden">
+        {children}
+      </Box>
+
+      {/* Footer — fixed height */}
+      <Box paddingX={1}>
+        {footer}
+      </Box>
+    </Box>
+  );
+};
+```
+
+### Two-column layout (sidebar + main)
+
+```tsx
+<Box flexGrow={1}>
+  {/* Sidebar */}
+  <Box flexDirection="column" width={30}
+       borderStyle="single" borderRight
+       borderTop={false} borderBottom={false} borderLeft={false}>
+    {sidebarContent}
+  </Box>
+
+  {/* Main content */}
+  <Box flexDirection="column" flexGrow={1} paddingLeft={2}>
+    {mainContent}
+  </Box>
+</Box>
+```
+
+### Bordered panel component
+
+```tsx
+const Panel = ({ title, children, borderColor = 'cyan' }) => (
+  <Box flexDirection="column" borderStyle="single" borderColor={borderColor}
+       paddingX={1} paddingY={0}>
+    {title && (
+      <Box marginBottom={1}>
+        <Text bold color={borderColor}>{title}</Text>
+      </Box>
+    )}
+    {children}
+  </Box>
+);
+```
+
+### Inline mode (non-fullscreen)
+
+For short interactions that should scroll with terminal history, don't set
+`height` on the root Box. Ink will render inline and scroll naturally.
+
+```tsx
+// Inline: just renders and scrolls
+<Box flexDirection="column">
+  <Text>Quick question:</Text>
+  <Select options={options} onChange={handleSelect} />
+</Box>
+
+// vs. Full-screen: takes over the terminal
+<Box flexDirection="column" height={stdout.rows}>
+  {/* ... */}
+</Box>
+```
+
+## Tab navigation pattern
+
+### Tab bar component
+
+```tsx
+import React from 'react';
+import { Box, Text } from 'ink';
+import figures from 'figures';
+
+type Tab = { label: string; status: 'pending' | 'active' | 'complete' };
+
+const TabBar = ({ tabs, activeIndex }: { tabs: Tab[], activeIndex: number }) => (
+  <Box gap={1} paddingX={1}>
+    {tabs.map((tab, i) => {
+      const icon = tab.status === 'complete'
+        ? figures.tick
+        : tab.status === 'active'
+        ? figures.pointer
+        : figures.bullet;
+
+      const color = tab.status === 'complete'
+        ? 'green'
+        : i === activeIndex
+        ? 'cyan'
+        : 'gray';
+
+      return (
+        <Text key={i} color={color} bold={i === activeIndex}>
+          {icon} {tab.label}
+        </Text>
+      );
+    })}
+  </Box>
+);
+```
+
+### Tab switching with useInput
+
+```tsx
+const [activeTab, setActiveTab] = useState(0);
+
+useInput((input, key) => {
+  if (key.leftArrow) setActiveTab(i => Math.max(0, i - 1));
+  if (key.rightArrow) setActiveTab(i => Math.min(TABS.length - 1, i + 1));
+
+  // Number keys for direct tab access
+  const num = parseInt(input, 10);
+  if (num >= 1 && num <= TABS.length) setActiveTab(num - 1);
+}, { isActive: !isInputFocused }); // disable when typing in an input
+```
+
+**Important:** Use `isActive: false` on the tab-switching `useInput` when the user
+is focused on a text input or other component that needs arrow keys. Otherwise
+arrow keys will switch tabs instead of navigating within the component.
+
+### Conditional rendering for tab content
+
+```tsx
+// Simple: mount/unmount (loses state when switching away)
+{activeTab === 0 && <SetupTab />}
+
+// Preserve state: render all but hide inactive
+{TABS.map((_, i) => (
+  <Box key={i} display={i === activeTab ? 'flex' : 'none'}
+       flexDirection="column" flexGrow={1}>
+    <TabContent index={i} />
+  </Box>
+))}
+```
+
+## State management patterns
+
+### Centralized wizard state hook
+
+```tsx
+interface WizardState {
+  framework: string | null;
+  language: 'typescript' | 'javascript' | null;
+  apiKey: string | null;
+  features: string[];
+  installStatus: 'idle' | 'running' | 'success' | 'error';
+  error: string | null;
+}
+
+const initialState: WizardState = {
+  framework: null,
+  language: null,
+  apiKey: null,
+  features: [],
+  installStatus: 'idle',
+  error: null,
+};
+
+export function useWizardState() {
+  const [state, setState] = useState<WizardState>(initialState);
+
+  const update = (patch: Partial<WizardState>) =>
+    setState(prev => ({ ...prev, ...patch }));
+
+  const isStepComplete = (step: number): boolean => {
+    switch (step) {
+      case 0: return state.framework !== null;
+      case 1: return state.apiKey !== null;
+      case 2: return state.installStatus === 'success';
+      case 3: return false; // verification is terminal
+      default: return false;
+    }
+  };
+
+  return { state, update, isStepComplete };
+}
+```
+
+### Tab-to-tab data flow
+
+Pass wizard state down to tabs, and `onComplete` callbacks up:
+
+```tsx
+const App = () => {
+  const { state, update, isStepComplete } = useWizardState();
+  const [activeTab, setActiveTab] = useState(0);
+
+  const advanceTab = () =>
+    setActiveTab(i => Math.min(TABS.length - 1, i + 1));
+
+  return (
+    <AppShell>
+      {activeTab === 0 && (
+        <SetupTab
+          onSelect={(fw) => { update({ framework: fw }); advanceTab(); }}
+        />
+      )}
+      {activeTab === 1 && (
+        <ConfigTab
+          framework={state.framework}
+          onComplete={(config) => { update(config); advanceTab(); }}
+        />
+      )}
+      {activeTab === 2 && (
+        <InstallTab config={state} onComplete={() => advanceTab()} />
+      )}
+    </AppShell>
+  );
+};
+```
+
+## Progress and completion patterns
+
+### Spinner → result replacement
+
+Show a spinner while working, then replace in-place with the result:
+
+```tsx
+const Step = ({ label, status }: { label: string; status: 'pending' | 'running' | 'done' | 'error' }) => (
+  <Box gap={1}>
+    {status === 'running' && <Spinner label="" />}
+    {status === 'done' && <Text color="green">{figures.tick}</Text>}
+    {status === 'error' && <Text color="red">{figures.cross}</Text>}
+    {status === 'pending' && <Text dimColor>{figures.bullet}</Text>}
+    <Text dimColor={status === 'pending'}>{label}</Text>
+  </Box>
+);
+```
+
+### Multi-step progress list
+
+```tsx
+const steps = [
+  { id: 'deps', label: 'Installing dependencies', status: 'done' },
+  { id: 'config', label: 'Writing configuration', status: 'running' },
+  { id: 'snippet', label: 'Adding code snippet', status: 'pending' },
+  { id: 'verify', label: 'Verifying setup', status: 'pending' },
+];
+
+<Box flexDirection="column" gap={0}>
+  {steps.map(step => <Step key={step.id} {...step} />)}
+</Box>
+```
+
+## Debug logging
+
+Never write debug output to stdout — it will corrupt the Ink display.
+Write to a file or stderr instead:
+
+```tsx
+import { writeFileSync, appendFileSync } from 'node:fs';
+
+const debug = (msg: string) => {
+  if (process.env.DEBUG) {
+    appendFileSync('/tmp/wizard-debug.log', `${new Date().toISOString()} ${msg}\n`);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+Or use `useStderr()`:
+```tsx
+const { write } = useStderr();
+write('Debug: something happened\n');
+```

+# TUI Layout Primitives
+
+Custom layout primitives for the PostHog Setup Wizard TUI. These replace raw Ink/`@inkjs/ui` usage with opinionated, styled components that enforce visual consistency.
+
+**Import**: All primitives are barrel-exported from `src/ui/tui/primitives/index.ts`.
+
+```ts
+import { ScreenContainer, TabContainer, PickerMenu, ... } from '../primitives/index.js';
+```
+
+**Styles**: Shared constants live in `src/ui/tui/styles.ts` — read that file for current `Colors`, `Icons`, `HAlign`, `VAlign` values.
+
+---
+
+## Primitive catalog
+
+Each primitive's props interface is defined in its source file. Read the file for the current API.
+
+### ScreenContainer
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/ScreenContainer.tsx`
+
+Top-level app shell. Renders TitleBar, routes between screens via `store.currentScreen` (router-driven), and plays a horizontal wipe transition on screen changes. Wraps each screen in `ScreenErrorBoundary`.
+
+### TabContainer
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/TabContainer.tsx`
+
+Self-contained tabbed interface with status bar. Manages its own active tab state. Arrow keys switch tabs.
+
+Layout (top to bottom):
+1. Active tab content (`flexGrow`)
+2. Status bar (single-line, top border, muted text)
+3. Spacer
+4. Tab bar (active = inverse accent, inactive = muted)
+
+Tabs array can be built conditionally — see `RunScreen.tsx` for an example of a tab that only appears when data is available.
+
+### PickerMenu
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/PickerMenu.tsx`
+
+Single and multi select. Fully custom renderers — does NOT use `@inkjs/ui` Select/MultiSelect.
+
+- **Single select**: `▸` triangle cursor on focused item, enter selects
+- **Multi select** (`mode="multi"`): `◻`/`◼` toggles with space, enter submits
+
+### ConfirmationInput
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/ConfirmationInput.tsx`
+
+Continue/cancel prompt with two bordered button boxes. Left/right arrows switch focus, enter activates focused, escape always cancels.
+
+### DissolveTransition
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/DissolveTransition.tsx`
+
+Horizontal wipe with split-flap/digital rain texture. Used internally by ScreenContainer. When `transitionKey` changes, a band of shade characters sweeps across covering old content, then reveals new content.
+
+### ProgressList
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/ProgressList.tsx`
+
+Task checklist with status icons and progress counter. Shows a `LoadingBox` placeholder when items array is empty.
+
+- `◼` green = completed, `▶` cyan = in-progress, `◻` gray = pending
+- Shows `activeForm` text when in-progress (replaces label)
+
+### EventPlanViewer
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/EventPlanViewer.tsx`
+
+Pure render component for planned analytics events. Takes an `events` array prop and renders each event name (bold) with description (dim). Used in RunScreen's conditional "Event plan" tab.
+
+### SplitView
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/SplitView.tsx`
+
+Two-pane horizontal layout (50/50 split).
+
+### CardLayout
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/CardLayout.tsx`
+
+Aligns a single child within available space using flexbox alignment (`HAlign`, `VAlign`).
+
+### LogViewer
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/LogViewer.tsx`
+
+Real-time log file tail. Watches a file with `fs.watch` and displays the latest lines that fit in the available terminal height.
+
+### LoadingBox
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/LoadingBox.tsx`
+
+Spinner with message. Uses `@inkjs/ui` Spinner.
+
+### Divider
+`src/ui/tui/primitives/Divider.tsx`
+
+Responsive horizontal rule. Uses `measureElement` to measure its parent's width, then fills with a repeating character (`─` by default). Props: `dimColor` (default `true`), `char` (default `'─'`).
+
+---
+
+## Responsive layout with measureElement
+
+Ink provides `measureElement(ref)` to get the pixel-equivalent `{ width, height }` of a rendered element. Use it with a `useRef` + `useEffect` to build components that adapt to their container size:
+
+```tsx
+import { Box, Text, measureElement } from 'ink';
+import { useRef, useState, useEffect } from 'react';
+
+const ref = useRef(null);
+const [width, setWidth] = useState(0);
+
+useEffect(() => {

+    const { width: measured } = measureElement(ref.current);
+    setWidth(measured);
+  }
+}, []);
+
+<Box ref={ref} width="100%">
+  <Text>{'─'.repeat(width)}</Text>
+</Box>
+```
+
+See `Divider.tsx` for a working example. For terminal resize reactivity, combine with the `useStdoutDimensions` hook from `src/ui/tui/hooks/useStdoutDimensions.ts`.
+
+---
+
+## Design conventions
+
+- **Borders**: Always `borderStyle="single"` (not `"round"`) for cross-terminal compatibility
+- **Accent color**: `Colors.accent` for highlights, active states, prompt headers
+- **Dim for inactive**: Use `dimColor` on unfocused/inactive items
+- **Muted for secondary**: `Colors.muted` for status text, inactive tabs, borders
+- **No bare strings**: All text must be in `<Text>` (Ink requirement)
+- **Hex color caution**: Hex colors (like `Colors.accent`) can bleed in some terminals. If a component's text unexpectedly inherits color, set an explicit `color` on its `<Text>` elements.

+# Terminal Compatibility Reference
+
+How to detect terminal capabilities and degrade gracefully across environments.
+
+## Terminal detection
+
+### TTY detection
+
+```tsx
+const isTTY = process.stdin.isTTY && process.stdout.isTTY;
+const isCI = Boolean(process.env.CI);
+const isPiped = !process.stdin.isTTY;
+```
+
+If not a TTY (piped input, CI, etc.), skip the full Ink TUI and fall back to
+non-interactive mode with defaults or flag-based configuration.
+
+### Terminal dimensions
+
+```tsx
+import { useStdout } from 'ink';
+
+const { stdout } = useStdout();
+const columns = stdout.columns; // width in characters
+const rows = stdout.rows;       // height in lines
+```
+
+Listen for resize:
+```tsx
+useEffect(() => {
+  const onResize = () => { /* re-read stdout.columns/rows */ };
+  stdout.on('resize', onResize);
+  return () => stdout.off('resize', onResize);
+}, []);
+```
+
+### Color support
+
+Ink uses chalk internally. Colors outside the terminal's gamut are automatically
+coerced to the closest available value.
+
+Respect user preferences:
+```tsx
+// NO_COLOR standard: https://no-color.org/
+const noColor = 'NO_COLOR' in process.env;
+
+// FORCE_COLOR forces color even in non-TTY contexts
+const forceColor = 'FORCE_COLOR' in process.env;
+```
+
+## Unicode and symbol fallbacks
+
+Use the `figures` package for cross-platform symbols:
+
+```bash
+npm install figures
+```
+
+```tsx
+import figures from 'figures';
+
+// figures.tick       → ✓  (or √ on Windows CMD)
+// figures.cross      → ✗  (or × on Windows CMD)
+// figures.bullet     → ●  (or * on Windows CMD)
+// figures.pointer    → ❯  (or > on Windows CMD)
+// figures.arrowRight → →  (or > on Windows CMD)
+// figures.line       → ─  (or - on Windows CMD)
+```
+
+For custom detection:
+```tsx
+const supportsUnicode = process.env.TERM !== 'dumb'
+  && !process.env.CI
+  && process.platform !== 'win32';
+```
+
+## Responsive layouts
+
+Adapt to terminal width:
+
+```tsx
+const { stdout } = useStdout();
+const isNarrow = stdout.columns < 60;
+const isShort = stdout.rows < 20;
+
+return (
+  <Box flexDirection="column">
+    {/* Collapse tab labels on narrow terminals */}
+    <Box gap={isNarrow ? 0 : 1}>
+      {TABS.map((tab, i) => (
+        <Text key={tab}>
+          {isNarrow ? tab[0] : tab}
+        </Text>
+      ))}
+    </Box>
+
+    {/* Skip borders on very narrow terminals */}
+    <Box borderStyle={isNarrow ? undefined : 'round'}>
+      {children}
+    </Box>
+  </Box>
+);
+```
+
+## Cross-terminal testing checklist
+
+Test on all of these before shipping:
+
+- [ ] macOS Terminal.app
+- [ ] iTerm2
+- [ ] VS Code integrated terminal
+- [ ] Hyper
+- [ ] Windows Terminal
+- [ ] PowerShell
+- [ ] CMD (Command Prompt)
+- [ ] Linux (GNOME Terminal, Konsole, Alacritty, kitty)
+- [ ] SSH sessions
+- [ ] tmux / screen
+
+Common issues:
+- **Overflow rendering**: Content wider than terminal renders on top of itself.
+  Always constrain widths or use `wrap="truncate"` on Text.
+- **Color schemes**: Light vs dark terminals. Use semantic colors (green=success,
+  red=error) rather than absolute colors that may clash with backgrounds.
+- **Character sets**: Box-drawing characters (─│┐└ etc.) may not render in all
+  terminals. The `figures` package handles common fallbacks, but custom border
+  characters may need manual ASCII alternatives.
+
+## Non-interactive fallback
+
+When the terminal doesn't support interactive mode:
+
+```tsx
+// cli.tsx
+import { render } from 'ink';
+
+if (!process.stdin.isTTY || process.env.CI) {
+  // Non-interactive mode: use flags or defaults
+  await runNonInteractive(parsedArgs);
+} else {
+  // Full TUI mode
+  const { waitUntilExit } = render(<App />);
+  await waitUntilExit();
+}
+```
+
+Or use @inquirer/prompts as a simpler fallback:
+```tsx
+import { select, confirm } from '@inquirer/prompts';
+
+const framework = await select({
+  message: 'Select your framework',
+  choices: [
+    { name: 'Next.js', value: 'nextjs' },
+    { name: 'React', value: 'react' },
+  ],
+});
+```

+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// Render path:
+//
+// - Virtual pixel buffer is 2× wider and 4× taller than the displayed grid.
+//   Each terminal cell packs eight pixels (2 cols × 4 rows) into a single
+//   Unicode braille character (U+2800–U+28FF), where each pixel maps to one
+//   of the eight dot bits. ~84 × 48 pixel canvas in only 42 × 12 terminal cells.
+//
+// - Sphere shading is plain Lambert lighting: at each pixel we reconstruct
+//   the sphere's normal from (sx, sy), the implied z = √(1 − r²), and dot
+//   with a light direction that slowly rotates around the vertical axis so
+//   the highlight drifts across the surface.
+//
+// - The continuous brightness signal is thresholded through an 8×8 Bayer
+//   matrix to produce the classic 1-bit ordered-dithered look. Lit hemisphere
+//   shows dense dots, terminator dissolves into sparser patterns, the unlit
+//   hemisphere goes dark.
+//
+// - `scale` (0..1) shrinks the orb's effective radius. Stars stay visible
+//   throughout — they're our floor of "something is on screen" during the
+//   entry animation when the orb itself is still a dot.
+//
+// - The whole thing renders as one Text per row (one color), which keeps
+//   Ink's reconciler cheap even at 10 fps.

+# Novu Wizard
+
+`novu wizard` is an **autonomous** AI-assisted CLI wizard that integrates Novu (Inbox + workflows + triggers + subscribers) into an existing application using the Claude Agent SDK and the Novu MCP server.
+
+> Status: **private beta** for enterprise customers. Requires the `IS_LLM_GATEWAY_ENABLED` LaunchDarkly flag and an enterprise tier subscription.
+
+## Architecture

+```
+
+The CLI is observational: the imperative `pipeline/runner.ts` drives every step against the `WizardUI` bridge. The Ink screens never own business logic — they only `useStore` from the nanostores atom and render. The agent runs **end-to-end without prompting the user**; its progress is exposed through the agent's own `TodoWrite` calls (right pane) plus a fixed pipeline checklist (left pane).
+
+### Why the wizard pre-installs packages
+
+Package installs live in their own pipeline step (`pipeline/steps/install-packages.ts`) that runs in the wizard CLI's parent process **before** the Claude Agent SDK turn starts. Three reasons:
+
+1. **macOS sandbox blocks `clonefile()`.** The SDK's filesystem sandbox blocks pnpm's reflink syscall on macOS, which made `pnpm add` always fail inside an agent turn. The agent then wasted 10+ minutes retrying `npm install` / `pnpm install` / `pnpm config set store-dir …` before resorting to a manual `package.json` edit.
+2. **Topology-aware installs need monorepo context.** A single `pnpm add @novu/react` issued at the cwd is wrong in 90 % of monorepos: the install needs to be filtered to the right workspace (`pnpm --filter @app/web add @novu/react`), and the package list needs to differ per workspace (the API workspace doesn't need the Inbox SDK). The CLI walks `pnpm-workspace.yaml` / `workspaces`, classifies each workspace as `web` / `api` / `fullstack` / `library` (`context/classify-workspace.ts`), then issues **one batched install command per workspace** with the right packages for that role.
+3. **Goal rebalancing.** `--goal=full` against a web-only repo is structurally meaningless (no API workspace to wire `novu.trigger` into). `context/rebalance-goal.ts` maps `(requestedGoal, topology)` to an `effectiveGoal`, downgrading silently when the request is achievable in a narrower form (`full` × web-only → `inbox`) and blocking when it is incompatible (`workflows` × web-only). The user-facing reason is surfaced in the live tail and the report.
+
+The agent's `Bash(npm install:*)` / `Bash(pnpm add:*)` etc. prefixes are now in `WIZARD_DISALLOWED_TOOLS` so the agent cannot retry installs inside the sandbox even by accident; STEP 3 of `build-user-prompt.ts` tells the agent that packages are already on disk.
+
+### Pre-agent parallel block
+
+After bootstrap, the runner fans out **four** steps in parallel before the agent turn starts: `auth`, `skills`, `install-packages`, and `install-mcp`. The right pane stays on `AuthPane` for the whole block — that's where the only user-blocking interaction lives — while the pipeline pane on the left ticks each row off as its promise resolves. MCP chains on auth (it needs the resolved API key + region); everything else fires immediately.
+
+`Promise.all` rejects on the first failure, so any rejection (auth abort, install rebalance-block) drops the runner into its catch branch and skips agent / validate / report. MCP install is wrapped in fail-soft try/catch internally so it never rejects on its own.
+
+**Host detection is unified.** The same agent / editor host list (`claude`, `cursor`, `windsurf`, `copilot`, `agents`, `gemini`, `roo`, `opencode`, `kiro`) is resolved **once** by `resolveWizardRuntimeSkillHosts(process.cwd())` at the top of the parallel block and passed to both the skills installer **and** the MCP installer. Without this the two steps would re-detect independently and could disagree (e.g. if the agent later writes a new editor's config dir mid-run). The MCP installer also intersects host → adapter against `installer.detect()` so it never writes a config into an editor that isn't actually present on disk.
+
+The skills installer writes `SKILL.md` folders into every detected host's skills dir (`.claude/skills/`, `.cursor/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`, …). The MCP installer fans out across the subset of hosts that have first-party MCP clients (`claude → claude-code`, `cursor → cursor`, `windsurf → windsurf`, `copilot → vscode`) and writes one Novu MCP server config per editor.
+
+### Parallel agent fan-out
+
+The agent phase is the dominant pole of wall-clock time. To cut it, the **main agent** acts as an orchestrator: it surveys the already-installed packages on disk (the package install ran in the parent process before the agent started — see [Why the wizard pre-installs packages](#why-the-wizard-pre-installs-packages)) and dispatches **three parallel `Task` subagents** in a single assistant message so they run concurrently:
+
+- **A. Inbox** — owns client UI files (layout / page / header / nav / sidebar). Mounts `<Inbox />` and the Provider wrapper. Picks the Inbox SDK based on the workspace's framework (`@novu/react-native` for Expo / RN, `@novu/nextjs` for Next.js, `@novu/react` for any other React-based framework, `@novu/js` for non-React frameworks like Vue / Svelte / SvelteKit / Nuxt).
+- **B. Workflows + Triggers** — owns server-side handlers excluding auth hooks. Reasons about the product domain, discovers its own trigger sites, creates workflows (code-first via `@novu/framework` if present; otherwise no-code via the Novu MCP server), and wires `novu.trigger(...)` calls. Workflows must precede triggers, so this branch is sequential within itself and is the critical pole.
+- **C. Subscribers** — owns auth-provider hook files only (Clerk / Better Auth / NextAuth / Supabase). Skipped when no auth provider is detected.
+
+Each subagent ends its final assistant message with a structured JSON block (see `types.ts › BranchResult`). The CLI parses those blocks **directly off the message stream** in `pipeline/steps/run-agent.ts` (keyed by `parent_tool_use_id` → outer `Task` `tool_use_id`), so the main agent does **not** need to re-read every subagent's payload back into context to forward it as an aggregate. `report/build-report.ts` builds `novu-wizard-report.md` deterministically from the tool-call trail + those streamed JSON blocks.
+
+The full subagent system prompts are pre-rendered to `.claude/agents/novu-wizard-{inbox,workflows,subscribers}.md` at run start by `agent/install-agents.ts`. The SDK's `Task` tool picks them up automatically when the main agent dispatches with the matching `subagent_type`, so the main-agent `prompt` parameter only carries per-run dynamic context (3-6 lines) instead of regenerating the entire branch prompt as model tokens. The agent files are removed in `runAgentStep`'s `finally` block so the user's `.claude/agents/` directory isn't littered between runs.
+
+Domain ownership is *guidance* (each subagent's prompt tells it which files it owns). The Stop hook (`agent/stop-hook.ts`) blocks turn-end until every dispatched branch has returned its `tool_result`; the SDK serialises concurrent `Write` / `Edit` calls at its tool-execution layer if two branches legitimately converge on the same file.
+
+The CLI never persists the secret key obtained via the browser flow — it lives only in process memory for the session. Subsequent runs always re-authorise.
+
+## Files
+
+### Driver layer
+- `pipeline/runner.ts` — orchestrator: bootstrap → **(auth ∥ skills ∥ install ∥ mcp)** → agent ↔ validate (in-session fix loop) → report → outro. The four pre-agent steps fan out in parallel; the agent only starts once every promise resolves. See [Pre-agent parallel block](#pre-agent-parallel-block).
+- `pipeline/steps/*.ts` — one file per pipeline phase. `install-packages.ts` and `install-mcp.ts` run OUTSIDE the SDK sandbox (they touch lockfiles / editor config dirs the sandbox would block). `validate.ts` is invoked by `run-agent.ts` between agent turns to lint + typecheck the touched workspaces and feed failures back into the same SDK session as a follow-up user message until the code is clean or the budget is exhausted.
+
+### Agent
+- `agent/system-prompt.ts` — autonomous system prompt (TodoWrite-first, parallel-fan-out).
+- `agent/build-user-prompt.ts` — main-agent user prompt: survey on-disk state → dispatch three parallel `Task` subagents → end (package install + MCP install + skills install all happened in the parent process before this prompt; the CLI builds the report).
+- `agent/build-subagent-prompt.ts` — per-branch subagent prompts (Inbox / Workflows+Triggers / Subscribers). Each subagent returns its result as a fenced JSON block.
+- `agent/install-agents.ts` — at run start, renders the three subagent prompts via `buildSubagentPrompt` and writes them to `.claude/agents/novu-wizard-{inbox,workflows,subscribers}.md` so the SDK's `Task` tool injects them as preset system prompts. Cleans the files up in the runner's `finally` block.
+- `agent/iterator.ts` — wraps `query()` from `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk`, configures the Novu MCP server, registers the `Stop` hook, exposes the SDK iterator + interrupt/close.
+- `agent/stop-hook.ts` — per-branch dispatch / completion gates that block turn-end until every dispatched subagent has returned.
+- `agent/can-use-tool.ts` — permission gate consulted by the SDK before every tool call (env-file blacklist, dangerous-Bash filter). Pure function, no per-branch logic.
+- `agent/commandments.ts` — negative guardrails included in the system prompt.
+- `agent/tool-labels.ts` — short labels for tool calls (used by live tail and chat overlay).
+
+### Auth & detection
+- `auth/device-auth.ts` — loopback HTTP server + browser open + state-validated callback.
+- `auth/resolve-auth.ts` — picks `--secret-key`, `NOVU_SECRET_KEY`, or browser auth in that order.
+- `context/detect-project.ts` — framework / package manager / TS / installed Novu deps detection. Also exports the pure `detectFrameworkFromDeps(cwd, deps)` helper used by the workspace classifier.
+- `context/classify-workspace.ts` — pure classifier that turns one workspace's `package.json` (deps + scripts + filesystem hints) into a `WorkspaceRole` (`web` / `api` / `fullstack` / `library`) plus a human-readable reason.
+- `context/detect-install-targets.ts` — walks `pnpm-workspace.yaml` / `workspaces` glob entries, classifies each workspace, and returns the application targets the install step will operate on. Falls back to a single-target topology for non-monorepo repos.
+- `context/rebalance-goal.ts` — maps `(requestedGoal, topology)` to either `{ kind: 'ok', effectiveGoal, reason }` or `{ kind: 'block', reason }`. Drives the silent goal downgrade for unambiguous cases and the abort for incompatible ones.
+
+### Package installer (parent-process)
+- `utils/package-managers.ts` — declarative descriptors for pnpm / yarn-v1 / yarn-v2 / bun / npm: install verb, static flags (`--ignore-workspace-root-check` for pnpm + yarn v1), `forceInstallFlag`, `workspaceFilter(name)`, lockfile-driven `detect()`. Plus `renderInstallCommand({ descriptor, packages, workspaceName, legacyPeerDeps, force })` which emits **one** install command containing the full package list for a workspace (yarn gets the special `yarn workspace <name> add …` shape because its filter sits before the verb).
+- `pipeline/steps/install-packages.ts` — orchestrator. For each application target it picks packages from the per-role matrix:
+  - **web**: Inbox SDK only — `@novu/react-native` (Expo / RN) → `@novu/nextjs` (Next.js) → `@novu/react` (other React-based: Remix, RedwoodJS, Blitz, Astro+React, React+Vite, plain React) → `@novu/js` (non-React: Vue, Svelte, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Solid, Angular, …; the headless / framework-agnostic Inbox SDK).
+  - **api**: `@novu/api` (always — `novu.trigger` mounts) + `@react-email/components` (only when `@novu/framework` is already present).
+  - **fullstack**: Inbox SDK (same picker as `web`) + `@novu/api` (+ `@react-email/components` if `@novu/framework` is present).
+  - **library**: skipped.
+  Spawns the package manager via `cross-spawn` (sequentially across targets so two concurrent runs never write the same lockfile). Applies `--legacy-peer-deps` for `npm` + React 19. On non-zero exit, writes `novu-wizard-install-error-<workspace>-<timestamp>.log` next to the workspace's `package.json`, splices the packages into `package.json` directly so the agent run can still emit imports, and continues to the next target.
+
+### Skills
+- `skills/install-skills.ts` + `skills/content/env-setup/` — at runtime, the official Novu skill set is fetched from [`novuhq/skills`](https://github.com/novuhq/skills) via `git clone --depth=1` (cached per-branch for 24h under `~/.cache/novu-wizard/skills/<branch>/`) and each skill folder under `<cache>/skills/` is copied into `<cwd>/.claude/skills/<name>/` (and into every other detected editor's skills dir). The `env-setup` gap-filler is bundled in `skills/content/`. Override the branch with `--skills-branch <ref>` (default: `main`).
+- `skills/check-claude-settings.ts` — warns about `.claude/settings.json` keys that would override the wizard's LLM gateway auth.
+
+### MCP installer
+- `mcp/installer.ts` — detection + install entry point. Returns the list of known editors with their `detected` flag; writes the Novu MCP server config into a single client by id when invoked.
+- `mcp/clients/index.ts` — per-editor adapter registry plus `mapSkillHostToMcpClientId` / `mapSkillHostsToMcpClientIds`, the helpers that translate the unified agent-host list (`claude`, `cursor`, `windsurf`, `copilot`, …) into MCP adapter ids. Hosts without a first-party MCP client (`agents`, `gemini`, `roo`, `opencode`, `kiro`) are skipped.
+- `mcp/clients/*.ts` — per-editor adapters: `cursor`, `claude-code`, `vscode`, `windsurf`, `codex`, `cline` (one file each).
+- `mcp/server-config.ts` — shared `mcp-remote <url> --header Authorization:Bearer <secret>` shape.
+- `pipeline/steps/install-mcp.ts` — runtime fan-out. In `autoSelect` mode (the runner's default) it maps the resolved hosts → adapter ids, intersects with `installer.detect()`, and installs the Novu MCP server config into **every** detected host's MCP client (Cursor + Claude Code + VS Code + Windsurf, etc.) — one editor at a time so JSON / TOML writes never interleave. The legacy interactive picker path (`autoSelect: false`) installs into a single user-chosen client; both paths append their results to `session.mcp.installed` (now a `McpInstallResult[]`), and the report renders one bullet per editor.
+
+### Report
+- `report/build-report.ts` — **canonical** writer. Builds `novu-wizard-report.md` deterministically from the tool-call trail (every `Write` / `Edit` / `mcp__novu__*` call streamed in by `pipeline/steps/run-agent.ts`) plus the per-branch JSON aggregate that the main agent emitted in its final message. The agent never writes the report file itself — this is a TS step. Sections: Goal, Project context, **Packages installed** (per-target matrix incl. installs / `package.json` edits / library skips, with the goal rebalance reason when the user-requested goal didn't fit), Files changed, Workflows created, Trigger sites wired, Subscriber sync points, Manual triggers needed, **Validation** (lint + typecheck pass/fail per workspace, with fix-loop attempt count and "budget exhausted" header when the loop bailed early), **Wizard ops** (skills installed, plus one bullet per editor that received the Novu MCP server — flat for a single editor, nested list when multiple hosts were resolved), Notes, Next steps. Next steps include a per-workspace `pnpm install` reminder when the install step had to fall back to direct `package.json` edits.
+
+### UI
+- `ui/store.ts` — nanostores `WizardStore` (phases, todos, trail, liveTail, overlay, gates).
+- `ui/wizard-ui.ts` + `ui/ink-ui.ts` + `ui/logging-ui.ts` — `WizardUI` bridge interface and its two implementations.
+- `ui/router.ts` + `ui/flows.ts` + `ui/screen-registry.tsx` — declarative pipeline of screens, resolved from the session snapshot.
+- `ui/primitives/*` — vendored layout primitives (`ScreenContainer`, `SplitView`, `ProgressList`, `LoadingBox`, `PickerMenu`, etc.).
+- `ui/screens/*` — `run-screen` (top header + 3-pane: pipeline ⨯ phase pane + live tail + footer; hosts the bootstrap countdown via `use-bootstrap-countdown` and swaps its right pane through bootstrap → auth → agent → outro as `session.runPhase` advances; the MCP pane (`mcp-pane.tsx`) renders during `RunPhase.Mcp` as a status surface listing every editor that received the Novu MCP config, and only acts as an interactive picker for the legacy `autoSelect: false` path). The driver awaits the `outro` gate before tearing the UI down so the outro pane stays visible until the user dismisses it.
+- `ui/overlays/chat-overlay.tsx` — full-screen, read-only trail opened via `/chat`.
+- `ui/components/{help,errors}-overlay.tsx` — kept overlays, rewired to read from the store.
+- `ui/components/command-footer.tsx` + `ui/hooks/use-slash-input.ts` — small inline slash buffer (`/activity /help /errors`).
+- `ui/index.tsx` — Ink mount + dark-mode background ANSI on startup, restored on exit.
+
+### Analytics
+- `analytics/events.ts` — per-screen events (`Wizard Screen Bootstrap`, `Wizard Screen Run`, `Wizard Screen Mcp`, `Wizard Screen Outro`, `Wizard Mcp Installed`, `Wizard Report Written`).
+
+## CLI flags
+
+- `--goal {full|inbox|workflows}` — default `full` (Inbox + workflows + triggers + subscribers).
+- `--yes` — resolve the bootstrap gate immediately. (The MCP installer no longer surfaces a picker by default — it auto-fans-out across every detected host — so this flag is now mostly about skipping the bootstrap countdown.)
+- `--ci` — force the non-interactive logging UI: no Bootstrap countdown, no interactive picker, plain stdout.
+- `--debug` — surface per-phase + per-todo durations in the UI and print a timing summary on exit (`[debug] timing summary` block, e.g. `total: 2m17s`, `phases: …`, `agent todos: …`). The always-on `MM:SS` clock pinned to the wizard header is independent of this flag — `--debug` only adds the granular breakdown.
+- `--secret-key`, `--api-url`, `--dashboard-url`, `--mcp-url`, `--region`, `--model`, `--skills-branch` — unchanged.
+
+## Manual end-to-end verification
+
+> Pre-requisite: API and dashboard running locally with `NOVU_ENTERPRISE=true`, the `IS_LLM_GATEWAY_ENABLED` LaunchDarkly flag enabled for the test organization, and `NOVU_LLM_GATEWAY_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` set on the API process.
+
+1. Boot the API and dashboard:
+   ```bash
+   pnpm --filter @novu/api start:dev
+   pnpm --filter @novu/dashboard dev
+   ```
+2. Scaffold a fresh Next.js app to integrate against:
+   ```bash
+   pnpm dlx create-next-app@latest wizard-target --ts --eslint --app --no-tailwind --no-src-dir --import-alias "@/*"
+   cd wizard-target
+   ```
+3. Run wizard pointed at the local stack:
+   ```bash
+   pnpm --filter novu start:mode wizard --api-url http://127.0.0.1:3000 --dashboard-url http://localhost:4200
+   ```
+4. The browser opens `http://localhost:4200/cli/auth?cli_callback=http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback&state=...&name=novu-wizard`. Sign in if needed, then click **Authorize**.
+5. Watch the wizard run end-to-end. While auth is resolving, the runner installs the Novu skill files, runs `pnpm add` against each detected workspace, and writes a Novu MCP server config into every detected editor (Cursor + Claude Code + VS Code + …) — all in parallel. The agent then scaffolds the Inbox, creates workflows, wires trigger sites, runs the validate ↔ fix loop, and finally `novu-wizard-report.md` is written to the project root.
+6. Open one of the editors that received an MCP config (Cursor / Claude Code / VS Code / Windsurf) and confirm the `novu` server shows up in its MCP UI — workflows the agent created should be queryable through it.
+7. Start the sample app (`pnpm dev`), verify the inbox bell renders, then trigger the workflow and confirm a notification appears.
+
+## Failure modes the agent should surface gracefully
+
+- HTTP 403 from `/v1/llm/messages` → "Novu Wizard is currently in private beta for enterprise customers — reach out to your Novu CSM."
+- HTTP 404 from `/v1/llm/messages` → "Novu Wizard is not available on this Novu deployment."
+- 5-minute browser auth timeout → "Authorization timed out. Please try again."
+- Render-time crash inside any screen → caught by `ScreenErrorBoundary`, the wizard transitions to the Outro screen with `OutroKind.Error`.

+ * Builds the prompt the main agent should pass into the `Task` tool's
+ * `prompt` parameter when dispatching one of the three parallel subagents.
+ *
+ * Each subagent owns a coarse domain enforced by `agent/can-use-tool.ts`:
+ *   - `inbox`        → client UI files
+ *   - `workflows`    → server-side handlers (everything except auth hooks)
+ *   - `subscribers`  → auth-provider hook files only
+ *
+ * **Prompt-authoring rules** (so the wizard ages well):
+ *   1. Refer to skills by *function*, not by skill name. Skill names can
+ *      change — descriptions of what they teach won't.
+ *   2. Don't mention specific component / file / path / package / method /
+ *      MCP-tool names in body instructions. Defer to the skill the
+ *      subagent reads. The skill is the source of truth.
+ *   3. The branch-domain section can describe coarse file *categories*
+ *      (e.g. "client UI files", "server-side handlers", "auth hook
+ *      files") — that's structural, not implementation detail.
+ *
+ * **Layout** — the prompt is intentionally split into a static prefix
+ * (cacheable across sessions) and a dynamic suffix (per-session):
+ *
+ *   ┌── static (byte-identical for a given branch — Anthropic prompt-cache hits)
+ *   │  intro
+ *   │  branch domain + what-to-do + tooling rules
+ *   │  final-message JSON contract
+ *   ├── dynamic suffix (per-session — invalidates only the suffix, not the prefix)
+ *   │  project context (cwd, framework, package manager, TS)
+ *   │  environment (Novu API URL, region, environment name)
+ *   │  installed skills list (absolute paths under cwd)
+ *   └──
+ *
+ * Branch B's body varies on `hasNovuFramework`, so it produces two static
+ * variants instead of one — still cacheable per variant.
+ *
+ * Each subagent must end its final assistant message with a fenced JSON
+ * block (see {@link BranchResult}) so the runner can collect structured
+ * results and the TS report builder can render them deterministically.

+/**
+ * Pre-renders the three wizard subagent prompts into `.claude/agents/*.md`
+ * files at the start of every wizard run.
+ *
+ * Why
+ * ---
+ * The Claude Agent SDK's `Task` tool reads subagent system prompts from
+ * `.claude/agents/<subagent_type>.md` (Claude Code's standard layout —
+ * see https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/agents). When the
+ * file exists, the main agent only has to issue
+ * `Task({subagent_type, prompt})` with a small dynamic prompt; the SDK
+ * injects the file's body as the subagent's system prompt for free.
+ *
+ * Without this, the main agent generates each subagent's full prompt
+ * (~3 long markdown blobs with project context, branch domain, JSON
+ * contract, etc.) as model tokens. That dominates the pre-fan-out
+ * latency of the wizard agent phase.
+ *
+ * Lifecycle
+ * ---------
+ * - {@link installWizardAgents} runs once at the start of `runAgentStep`,
+ *   after we have `project` / `auth` / `installedSkills`. It overwrites
+ *   any prior wizard agent files so each run gets fresh dynamic context.
+ * - {@link cleanupWizardAgents} runs in `runAgentStep`'s `finally` so
+ *   the user's `.claude/agents/` directory isn't littered with wizard
+ *   files between runs. It only deletes wizard-owned files (matching
+ *   the `WIZARD_AGENT_BRANCHES` set) and never touches the user's own
+ *   agent files.

+ * Closure-state Stop hook.
+ *
+ * The Claude Agent SDK fires the `Stop` lifecycle hook every time the model
+ * decides to end a turn. By returning `{ decision: 'block', reason: '...' }`
+ * we force the model to keep working. Without this hook, an agent that
+ * believes it has nothing to do (or that hits a silent permission denial)
+ * just exits — which is exactly the failure mode that produced an empty
+ * `Files changed: (none)` report on the user's first run.
+ *
+ * State machine (parallel-fan-out variant), in order of priority:
+ *
+ * 1. We've already retried `maxRetries` times → allow stop (avoid loops).
+ * 2. No tool calls made yet                  → block with "do something" prompt.
+ * 3. No subagents dispatched yet             → block with "fan out now" prompt.
+ * 4. Subagents dispatched, none completed yet → block with "wait for them" prompt.
+ * 5. Some still in flight                    → block with "wait for them" prompt.
+ * 6. All dispatched subagents completed      → allow stop (TS report writer takes over).
+ *
+ * `WizardStopHookState` is mutated by `run-agent.ts` as messages stream in.
+ * The hook itself only reads from it, so the closure is reentrant-safe even
+ * if the SDK invokes `Stop` concurrently (it does not, but defending here
+ * costs nothing).

+ *
+ * Flow:

+ *     library, drop libraries.
+ *  2. Rebalance the wizard goal against the detected topology — for
+ *     example a monorepo with only a single web app downgrades a
+ *     `full` request to `inbox`. Aborts the wizard when the requested
+ *     goal is structurally impossible (`inbox` × api-only).
+ *  3. For each application target, render and spawn ONE install command
+ *     containing every package the target needs (per the per-role
+ *     matrix in the plan). Targets are awaited sequentially so two
+ *     simultaneous package-manager processes never write the same
+ *     lockfile.
+ *  4. On non-zero exit: write a per-failure log file, splice the
+ *     packages into the workspace's `package.json` directly so the
+ *     agent run can still emit imports, and continue to the next
+ *     target.

+ * The validation pass — one lint + one typecheck per touched workspace.

+ * Why this exists in the CLI (not the agent):
+ *  - Agents historically fired `pnpm lint` / `pnpm --filter=<ws> check-types`
+ *    multiple times per branch, sometimes across the whole monorepo. Each
+ *    call costs 10–30s, and the workflows branch (the long pole) used to
+ *    run 3+ of them. Centralising here trades that overhead for a single
+ *    deterministic pass after fan-out.
+ *  - `agent/can-use-tool.ts` denies these commands inside the SDK sandbox,
+ *    so this is the ONLY place they run.
+ *
+ * Behaviour:
+ *  - Iterates over `installResult.targets` (application workspaces only —
+ *    libraries are already filtered out by the install step).
+ *  - For each target, looks up the workspace's `package.json` scripts and
+ *    runs the first match in {@link LINT_SCRIPT_CANDIDATES} → kind
+ *    `lint`, then the first match in {@link TYPECHECK_SCRIPT_CANDIDATES}
+ *    → kind `typecheck`. If a workspace has no matching script for a
+ *    kind, that kind is silently skipped — no synthetic `tsc --noEmit`
+ *    fallback, and no walk to the workspace root (running root scripts
+ *    from the app cwd would fan back out across the whole monorepo).
+ *  - Each invocation runs from the workspace's `cwd` using the
+ *    `<package-manager> run <script>` shape so it works regardless of
+ *    pnpm filter quirks.
+ *  - Failures (non-zero exit, timeouts, missing binaries) are captured
+ *    in the result; the step never throws. The runner surfaces them in
+ *    the report and the live tail but does NOT bump `errorCount` — these
+ *    are user-fixable issues, not wizard bugs.

+name: env-setup
+description: Create or update Novu environment variables in the user's project safely (never expose the secret key to the client). Complements the official Novu skills by covering project-level env configuration.
+triggers:
+  - configure novu env vars
+  - add novu keys to .env
+  - secret key handling
+---
+
+# Novu environment setup
+
+Apply this skill exactly once per project, before installing client snippets.
+
+## Required variables
+
+| Variable | Where it lives | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `NOVU_SECRET_KEY` | Server only | Auth for `@novu/api`, `@novu/framework`, MCP, CLI. |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_NOVU_APPLICATION_IDENTIFIER` (Next.js) / `VITE_NOVU_APPLICATION_IDENTIFIER` (Vite) / `REACT_APP_NOVU_APPLICATION_IDENTIFIER` (CRA) | Client | Identifies the Novu application for the Inbox component. |
+
+Optional:
+
+- `NOVU_API_URL=https://eu.api.novu.co` for EU tenants.
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_NOVU_SUBSCRIBER_ID` (only for static / demo apps that don't have a real auth provider — never use this in production).
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Never** prefix `NOVU_SECRET_KEY` with `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`, `VITE_*`, or `REACT_APP_*`. Doing so leaks it into the client bundle.
+2. Add new variables to all of the project's env files: `.env.local`, `.env.example`, and (if present) deployment manifests like `vercel.json`, `netlify.toml`, or `fly.toml`.
+3. Update `.gitignore` to ensure `.env.local` is ignored.
+4. If the project uses `@t3-oss/env-nextjs` or similar typed env loaders, register the new keys in their schema.
+
+## Verification checklist
+
+- [ ] `.env.example` contains placeholder entries for every variable above.
+- [ ] `.env.local` (or platform-specific equivalent) has real values.
+- [ ] No `console.log` or telemetry call prints the secret key.
+- [ ] Secret key does not appear in any file under `public/`, `src/components/`, or any client bundle entrypoint.

+/**
+ * Mouse-wheel scroll support for Ink-based TUIs via SGR extended mouse reporting
+ * (xterm "1006" mode). Works on iTerm2, Terminal.app, Ghostty, VS Code terminal,
+ * Windows Terminal, Alacritty, and tmux (when `set -g mouse on` is configured).
+ *
+ * Why we roll our own:
+ * - We only need wheel events (not click/hover/drag/position), so a small
+ *   focused parser is far cheaper than another peer dependency that needs to
+ *   play nice with the CJS→ESM bundling we already do for the Ink subtree.
+ * - Mouse mode is enabled/disabled lazily via refcounting so multiple consumers
+ *   (e.g. transcript + errors overlay) cooperate cleanly.
+ * - We patch `stdin.read()` so mouse escape sequences are *consumed* before
+ *   they reach Ink's input parser. Ink 7 reads stdin in pull mode (via the
+ *   `'readable'` event + `stdin.read()`), so observing `'data'` events isn't
+ *   enough — the leftover bytes (`[<64;36;18M`) would otherwise leak into
+ *   `useInput` as printable input and end up in the composer buffer.
+ *
+ * Caveat: when mouse mode is enabled, native click-and-drag text selection is
+ * captured by the app. Holding Option (iTerm2/Terminal.app) or Shift (Windows
+ * Terminal/Alacritty) bypasses it and restores normal terminal selection.
