Not priority — better GUI test candidates exist, no current need for an IDE. See [[decide-ilja-tui-render-model]] (also postponed).

Ilja — TUI (ANSI) face

• Type: feature (app / demo)
• Status: backlog
• Track: B
• Parent: feature-eliah-ide
• Opened: 2026-06-22

Goal

Second face of the IDE: ANSI/TUI, reusing the same garin core (buffer, docmodel, project, builder). Single full-screen terminal layout, box-draw tiled panes — same product, different renderer.

Scope

• apps/ide/ilja/ — render + input + layout via lib/rtl/ansirender.pas + ansiterm.pas. Tiled panes with box-draw chars; editor, designer (boxes drawn as nested ANSI rectangles), output, props.
• Input: kbd primary; mouse optional (xterm SGR 1006). Resize widget = kbd nudge and/or mouse drag (decide at build).
• Reuse garin unchanged — proves the model is render-agnostic. Any leakage of GUI assumptions into garin = bug to fix in garin.

Open questions (resolve at start — deferred B–E from design chat)

• B: is there a shared thin canvas interface, or fully separate paint code?
• C: TUI resize input model (kbd nudge vs mouse drag).
• D: color depth (256 / truecolor / 16-floor).
• Coord mapping: garin px → cells (cell ≈ 8×16 px) rounding rule.

Acceptance

Ilja runs in a terminal, drives the same garin models as Eliah; editor + box designer usable. garin needed no GUI-specific change.

Log

• 2026-06-22 — filed (depends on M1; reuses garin).
• 2026-07-20 (Track B sweep) — Blocked on [[decide-ilja-tui-render-model]]. The four "resolve at start" questions (canvas seam, resize input, colour depth, px->cell rounding) were sitting unanswered inside this implementation ticket while it ranked as available Track B work. They are genuine forks — the canvas one in particular decides whether this ticket still tests what it exists to test — so they are filed as a Track U decision with a recommendation each.
