What
A new class holds the prompt value, cursor offset, mode, pasted content, stashed prompt, ownership of the escape key and vim state, and submit subscriptions, notifying listeners only when a fixed list of keys actually changes.
Details
It tracks whether the value was changed from outside the editor, and debounces a "typing" flag on a scheduled timeout.
Stash and pop restore the prompt including a launch warning that was showing at the time.
Submitting a chat message now reads the text from this store rather than a ref.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
