Screen claude/dialog-over-box

The auto mode environment dialog. It draws between two rules ABOVE a live input box, and the box keeps its frame and the unsent text. The last line-starting mark is the box, so every marker of the dialog is outside the input region. A reader that tests the frame alone gives IDLE, and an Enter then confirms the selected option. tg-bridge measured it in a live pane. The size of the pane was not recorded. `tests/test_sessions.py::test_a_dialog_above_a_framed_box_is_not_idle` asserts the state. `tests/test_sessions.py::test_the_options_of_an_overlay_are_read_from_the_block` asserts the options, read from the block of the dialog and not from the input region. `tests/test_sessions.py::test_the_overlay_summary_gives_the_question_and_every_option` asserts that the summary holds the question.

• rule lines may be shortened; not verified against a new capture (each rule here has 80 characters)
• the reply line above the dialog is replaced with neutral text of a similar length (the original is the text of a real conversation)
• the unsent text in the input box is replaced with neutral text of the same length (the original is the text of a real conversation)
