What: New screen diffing algorithm that only updates changed characters instead of clearing and re-rendering the entire terminal, eliminating flicker and improving performance.
How it works: The renderer now:
- Compares previous and current screen buffers character-by-character
- Only updates positions where content changed
- Manages cursor movement efficiently during incremental updates
- Falls back to full re-render only when screen dimensions change
Details:
- Significantly reduces terminal flicker during updates
- Improves performance for large terminal windows
- Better user experience during streaming responses
- Implements transaction-based cursor management for atomic updates
- Evidence: Functions
