This journal records friction, unexpected behavior, latency, UI annoyances,12agent failures, context failures, and permission annoyances. Small UX friction is a real bug.1314Entry format:1516```17## YYYY-MM-DD — <short title>18Context:   what was being done19Friction:  what felt wrong (with numbers where possible)20Severity:  annoyance | slowdown | blocker21Action:    issue filed / fixed in <commit> / open22```2324---2526## 2026-08-09 — Journal opened2728First functional end-to-end assembly of V1 (CLI wiring in progress). No dogfood sessions29run yet — entries begin with the first real KHAELOR-on-KHAELOR session.3031## 2026-08-09 — Typed text invisible while composing3233Context:   First real interactive run (`npx tsx src/cli/main.ts` / installed `khaelor`).34Friction:  Keystrokes produced no visible echo — typed text only appeared after Enter,35           when the submitted message settled into scrollback. Root cause: key handling36           mutated composer state but never set the renderer's dirty flag, so the37           post-keystroke `flushNow()` hit the "nothing dirty, nothing settled" early38           return and painted nothing. Echo only worked while a stream happened to be39           repainting anyway. Reproduced under a real PTY (expect): 0 repaint bytes40           after typing while idle.41Severity:  blocker42Action:    fixed — stdin key dispatch now marks the live region dirty before the43           immediate flush; regression covered by tests/tui/pty-echo.test.ts (PTY44           integration, asserts echo before Enter). Same session: composer promoted45           to the bordered box per TUI_DESIGN §3.1.46
