What is a "reconciliation engine" and why does a TUI need one?
- charcircuit 8mo agoIt solves the problem of if the UI changes, what characters on the terminal do we need to update to show the right thing to the user.
- codethief 8mo agoJust like in GUI, in a TUI you need some mechanism to make the rendering output (the characters) match the internal state of the application. E.g., the user hit ESC -> internal state is CANCELED/WAIT FOR USER -> internal GUI representation now includes a prompt that asks the user to tell Claude what to do differently -> rendering output actually shows said prompt.
