//! Shared input-buffer state machine for the TUI's modal text
//! prompts (symbol input, projections' as-of date input, etc).
//! prompts (symbol input, projections' as-of date input, ack notes).
//!
//! Pure free function over `(buf, len_ptr, key)` no App or
//! tab-state coupling. Callers own:
//! Two flavors:
//!
//! - The byte buffer (typically a fixed-size `[16]u8`).
//! - `handleKey` single-line input. Enter commits.
//! - `handleKeyMulti` multi-fragment input. Enter completes a
//! *fragment* (without committing); Ctrl+Enter commits the whole
//! accumulated input. Used by the review tab's ack-note flow,
//! where multi-line reasoning is decomposed into N journal note
//! records.
//!
//! Both are pure free functions over `(buf, len_ptr, key)` no App
//! or tab-state coupling. Callers own:
//!
//! - The byte buffer (typically a fixed-size `[16]u8` or larger).
//! - The `len: *usize` cursor into it.
//! - Mode/modal cleanup on `cancelled` and `committed` results.
//! - Mode/modal cleanup on `cancelled`/`committed` results.
//! - Side effects (status messages, downstream dispatch, etc).
//! - For `handleKeyMulti`: the accumulated fragment list. The
//! state machine signals "fragment complete" via `.fragment`;
//! the caller copies `buf[0..len]` into its fragment list and
//! resets `len.*` to 0 before the next call.
//!
//! The state machine handles only:
//! - Esc reset `len` to 0, return `.cancelled`.
//! - Enter return `.committed` (caller reads `buf[0..len]`).
//! - Backspace decrement `len`.
//! - Ctrl+U reset `len` to 0 (readline-style clear).
//! - Printable ASCII append byte, increment `len` (capped at
//! buffer length).
//! ## Keybind philosophy
//!
//! Modal input keys (Esc, Enter, Backspace, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+Enter) are
//! **hardcoded here** and intentionally NOT routed through the
//! tab-framework's keybinds system. The keybinds system is for
//! *actions* the user wires to whatever key they want; modal-input
//! mechanics are part of the input idiom itself, like vim's `:`
//! command-mode keys aren't user-configurable. If a user really
//! wants different keys for "submit my note", that's a TODO entry
//! against this file (low priority nobody's asked).
//!
//! Ctrl+Enter as the multi-fragment commit key is the universal
//! "submit multi-line text" idiom (Slack, Discord, Notion, GitHub
//! comments). Some legacy terminals can't distinguish Ctrl+Enter
//! from plain Enter they send the same byte sequence. For those,
//! Ctrl+D is accepted as a fallback so the feature still works on
//! every terminal we ship to. The doc/help text only mentions
//! Ctrl+Enter as the primary; Ctrl+D is undocumented but functional.
