What changed: External editors now launch in alternate screen buffer for cleaner terminal experience

Details:

  • Added AAQ() function that wraps editor invocation with terminal screen switching
  • Uses \x1B[?1049h to enable alternate screen before launching editor
  • Uses \x1B[?1049l to restore original screen after editor exits
  • Prevents editor output from polluting the Claude Code interface
  • Cleans up temporary files after editor closes
  • Supports $VISUAL, $EDITOR, and fallback editors (code, vi, nano)
  • Evidence: AAQ() at line 422356 in v2.0.10 (screen buffer codes existed but not integrated in v2.0.9)
