RandalixandClaude Opus 5.5 344edc942b fix(tmux): submit text as a bracketed paste so Codex does not swallow Enter
sendInput() typed the text of a text+Enter pair with `send-keys -l` and
sent Enter 50 ms later. Codex detects an unmarked paste from a fast
character burst and folds an Enter inside that window into the paste as a
newline, so the prompt stays in the composer unsubmitted. Measured with
codex-cli 0.162.1 in a throwaway tmux pane: 1505 chars stuck 3/3 as
`[Pasted Content 1506 chars]`, a 98-char line stuck 1/4. SubmitVerifier
re-presses Enter for the short case, but it cannot match the long one: the
composer shows the placeholder instead of the prompt's head.

The text now goes in via set-buffer + `paste-buffer -p -d` (markers only
when the pane requested bracketed paste), followed by the separate Enter as
before. Same pane, same texts: 4/4 and 3/3 submitted. Each send gets its
own named buffer; a paste that fails (pane or server gone) deletes it,
since tmux never trims named buffers on its own.

Also escapes a trailing `;` in the text, which tmux treats as a command
separator (`send-keys -l 'x;'` typed `x`, a lone `;` typed nothing).

sendInputToPane() has no callers in src/ and is left as it was.

/**
* @fileoverview Verify that a programmatically sent prompt actually LEFT the composer,
* and press Enter again while it has not.
*
* Claude Code 2.1.277 (auto-installed 2026-09-18) takes typed text the moment its
* composer paints but ignores Enter for the first 30 to 50 seconds after it, so the
* text + `send-keys Enter` pair `TmuxManager.sendInput()` sends 50 ms
* apart leaves the prompt sitting on the composer with `0 tokens`, and every caller
* that then waits for the turn (send-and-wait, the agent skill, the maintainer bot,
* cron, Ralph) burns its whole timeout on a turn that never started. Measured through
* the input route on 2026-09-19: an Enter at 28 s stranded, one at 51 s submitted.
*
* The rule: after a write that carried a carriage return, read the pane on a short
* schedule; while the LAST composer line (the CLI's own prompt glyph) still holds the
* head of what was sent, send Enter again. An empty composer ends it, and so does a
* composer holding anything else, because that text is the user's or the CLI's, never
* ours. A pane with no composer line at all (a shell, a CLI whose glyph is not
* declared, a direct-PTY session with no pane to read) does nothing: this runs for
* EVERY programmatic sender, so a blind Enter here could confirm a dialog nobody asked
* about. The composer is the last glyph line on purpose: Claude Code echoes a submitted
* prompt with the same glyph higher up in the transcript, so only the last one says
* whether the text was taken.
*
* Pure apart from the injected capture, send and log, so the schedule, the cap and
* every stop condition are unit-tested with fake timers (test/session-submit-verifier.test.ts).

* seven Enters and one capture each; a taken prompt costs one capture.
