[CTX-1006] OSC 8 hyperlink click-to-open live UX with hover feedback and TUI interception (R-005) - #1771
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime adds OSC 8 hyperlink hover feedback and Ctrl/Cmd-click activation. It validates hover and activation targets, pairs link presses with releases, renders an underline and URL preview, and updates the platform cursor. ChangesOSC 8 Hyperlink Interaction

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Mergeable with owner awareness: an early cursor-shape update may not appear until the shape changes, and hover performance and Shift-release behavior still warrant follow-up. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The modified-click requirement strengthens protection against accidental link opening. However, the new preview can hide the real destination behind misleading URL credentials, and an interrupted hyperlink click can forward an unpaired release to a child application. Opening still requires user interaction and uses the existing validated, non-shell launcher. Retained concerns

- Around line 976-991: Update hyperlink activation in handle_mouse_input_at to
store the safe URI on an intercepted modified left press, and consume a left
release only when its safe URI matches the stored press URI. Let unmatched
releases continue to end_border_drag and end_tiled_drag, and clear the stored
URI after every left release so resize.rs cannot arm a link from a release
alone.

Gate per-tick hover revalidation on relevant view changes.
tick_time_gates revalidates hover before the idle short-circuit. When last_cursor is Some, the resolver rebuilds present frames. For a cursor over a present, unscrolled cell, it also clones the full snapshot and scans every grid cell with hyperlink_spans.
State::snapshot creates a new Box<[Cell]> with flatten_cells(). hyperlink_spans has no empty-grid fast path. It loops over the complete snapshot area even when no cell contains a hyperlink.
Cache the last-resolved view generation, layout, and scroll offset. Skip hover revalidation when those values are unchanged. Keep pointer-motion and pointer-leave updates immediate.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winSwallow releases for intercepted link presses.
When a mouse-capturing child is active, a Ctrl/Cmd safe-link press stores
hyperlink_press_uriand returns before capture. If the modifier is released before the left release, the release guard is skipped and capture sends a release report to the child, which never received the press. The runtime already suppresses releases paired with plugin-band and tiled-drag presses that the child did not receive. Consume releases whilehyperlink_press_urimarks an intercepted press; keep the existing mint gate responsible for checking the modifier and URI.

Do not mint an activation gesture when Shift routes the release to selection.
handle_mouse_input runs first. When Shift is held, it skips hyperlink interception, but the following gate can still mint a gesture if Ctrl remains held and the safe URI matches the press. Check Shift after taking the stored URI so the release still clears it.

Sync the cursor after the window sink is installed.
On Resumed, this call runs before the window installs os_cursor_sink. If the startup PTY pump has already set a non-default OSC 22 icon, apply_cursor_icon records that icon without sending it to the OS. Later ticks skip the identical icon, so the window retains the wrong cursor. Move the initial sync after sink installation, or clear last_applied_cursor when installing the sink.
