Measured

2026-10-23, agy 1.4.5, in a pane 120 columns wide.

What was measured

agy draws the same input box as Claude Code: one rule of ─ above the input line and one below it. Five details differ.

  1. The mark is >, not ❯. A message of the history also starts with > . The live box is the last one.
  2. The footer of a busy pane is "esc to cancel". Claude Code draws that text under a permission dialog, and "esc to interrupt" during a turn.
  3. A permission dialog has no frame: "Requesting permission for:", the command, "Run this command?", then numbered options. A digit answers it with no Enter.
  4. The folder-trust menu starts on "Yes, I trust this folder" (fact 10).
  5. The setup wizard (a colour scheme, then the terms of service) and the /config screen draw > with no frame and no numbered option.

Mechanism

A reader for agy reads each line-starting > as the mark. It reads "esc to cancel" as BUSY only under a framed box. It gives UNKNOWN for a setup screen, because the answers of that screen belong to the operator. The frame test stays last (fact 1).

Incident

None recorded.

Screens

agy/idle, agy/typed, agy/busy, agy/permission, agy/trust, agy/terms, agy/color-scheme.

Not measured

The trust menu with the mark on "No, exit". Other agy versions. Every corpus screen of agy has shorter rules than the real screen.
