Fixes from subagent code review (15 findings): CRITICAL runtime bugs: - dialog.lisp: backend-write calls -> draw-rect/draw-text (wrong arg count) - dialog.lisp: removed undefined render-component call - dialog.lisp: toast render backend-write -> draw-text MAJOR data loss / silent failures: - textarea.lisp: undo overflow now drops oldest entry instead of wiping stack - scrollbox.lisp: :background-element -> :bright-black (theme keyword never resolved) ASDF completeness: - modern-tests.lisp wired as component and test-op suite - layout tests added to test-op suite list - markdown suite lookup now uses keyword (was looking up wrong string) - test runner updated to match API cleanup: - container-package: removed duplicate render export - select-package: removed duplicate render export - markdown.lisp: #\Escape -> #\Esc for consistency - textarea.lisp: removed duplicate %split-string defn Demo robustness: - Added unwind-protect for guaranteed terminal cleanup - Uses make-modern-backend constructor - Uses set-raw-mode/restore-terminal-state Layout: - normalize-box handles partial padding specs (was returning all zeros)
Pure CL terminal UI framework. No ncurses, no FFI, no external dependencies.
```lisp (ql:quickload :cl-tty) ```
## Quick start
```lisp ;; Create a modern terminal backend (let ((backend (make-instance 'cl-tty.backend:modern-backend))) (cl-tty.backend:initialize-backend backend) ;; Backend is ready — write text, draw boxes, handle input (cl-tty.backend:shutdown-backend backend)) ```
## Architecture
Two backends, one protocol:
- modern-backend — truecolor 24-bit, OSC 8 hyperlinks, DECICM sync, SGR mouse, kitty keyboard, bold/italic/underline, box-drawing chars
- simple-backend — ASCII art, no color, universal compatibility
Everything is pure escape sequences (no curses, no terminfo, no FFI).

## Backend features
| Feature | modern | simple |
|---|---|---|
| Truecolor (24-bit) | Yes | No |
| Bold/italic | Yes | No |
| OSC 8 hyperlinks | Yes | No |
| DECICM sync | Yes | No |

## Development
```bash
sbcl –script run-all-tests.lisp
emacs –batch –eval "(progn (require 'org) (find-file \"org/FILE.org\") (org-babel-tangle) (kill-buffer))" ```
Literate programming: `.org` files in `org/` are the source of truth. `.lisp` files are generated by tangling.
