Hermes Agent 352f27e260 fix: osc8-link doubled backslashes in format string
The osc8-link implementation and its test both had doubled
backslashes (\\ -> \\) in their format strings, producing two
literal backslashes at runtime instead of the single backslash
needed for the OSC 8 string terminator (ST = ESC \).

Fix: change \\ to \\ in both the implementation and test format
strings. The tangled .lisp files now have correct escaped
backslashes (\) producing one backslash in the runtime string.

Additionally clean up a patch artifact that left a stray backslash
before the opening quote.

#+TITLE: Modern Backend
#+STARTUP: content
#+FILETAGS: :cl-tty:backend:
* Overview
The modern backend provides full-featured terminal rendering using raw
escape sequences. It supports truecolor 24-bit color, OSC 8 hyperlinks,
DECICM synchronized updates, SGR mouse tracking, kitty keyboard protocol,
and Unicode box-drawing characters (single, double, rounded).
All rendering functions produce CSI/OSC escape sequences directly --- no
ncurses, no terminfo, no FFI. Color resolution handles named colors
(~:red~, ~:blue~, etc.), hex strings (~"#FFD700"~), and semantic theme
roles (~:accent~, ~:error~) via the ~*theme-colors*~ hash table.
* Contract
** Color and attribute helpers
- ~(hex-to-rgb hex)~ (r g b) --- parse "#RRGGBB" or "#RGB"
- ~(sgr-fg color)~ escape string --- foreground color escape
- ~(sgr-bg color)~ escape string --- background color escape
- ~(sgr-attr attr)~ escape string --- attribute escape (bold, italic, etc.)
** Cursor helpers
- ~(cursor-move-escape x y)~ escape string --- CSI cursor position
- ~(cursor-style-escape shape blink)~ escape string --- DECSTR cursor shape
** Sync and link helpers
- ~(decicm-begin)~ escape string --- enable synchronized updates
- ~(decicm-end)~ escape string --- disable synchronized updates
- ~(osc8-link url text)~ escape string --- OSC 8 hyperlink wrapper
** Border helpers
- ~(border-char style pos)~ string --- Unicode box-drawing character
** Modern backend class
- ~(make-modern-backend &key output-stream)~ modern-backend
- Implements all ~backend~ protocol methods with escape sequences
* Tests
The test suite lives in =modern-tests.lisp= and uses FiveAM. Each test
covers one logical behavior.
** Package and setup
The test package uses =cl-tty.backend= to access internal symbols for
white-box testing of escape generation.

*** draw-rect
Fills a rectangular area with a background color. For each row, moves
the cursor and writes a filled line. This is simpler than =draw-border=
because it has no border characters --- just spaces with a background
color.

*** draw-link
Draws a hyperlinked text at position (x, y). Combines cursor
positioning, optional fg/bg colors, the OSC 8 link wrapper around the
text, and a reset. This lets the user click the text to open the URL
in terminals that support OSC 8.

Draws a three-dot ellipsis at the given position. The =width= parameter

*** enable-bracketed-paste
Enables bracketed paste mode, where the terminal wraps pasted text in
=ESC[200~= and =ESC[201~= delimiters. This allows the application to
distinguish user input from pasted content.

Begins a synchronized update frame using DECICM. Sets the =in-sync-p=
