Diagnose: Monthly cost cursor stays mid-text after a refused value #231
Description
Question
Why does the Monthly cost field keep the cursor mid-text after a refused -5, so clearing it and typing 250 saves 2500?
Reproduce it live on 2.1.292 under the map's Notes, at release/0.5.0 and at v0.4.0, and find the root cause.
Resolve with one of:
- ctui bug: a new ready-for-agent fix ticket (child of the map, label
ready-for-agent) in the shape of "Sidebar glass draws light grey under tmux without truecolor": what happens, why, the ask, the test seam, and abugfix/<name>branch cut fromrelease/0.5.0with its pull request into it. - Engine limit ctui can't work around: a new
wayfinder:grillingchild ticket putting defer-to-0.6.0 vs drop to the human, with the evidence.
If the engine moved since a MEMORY.md entry was checked, say which entry is stale.

Resolution: ctui bug since v0.4.0. Fix in Monthly cost keeps the refused text's cursor offset.
Live on 2.1.292 under tmux, the tmux hardware cursor shows the field's edit point. Walking into the field gives
100|. After a refused-5the new field shows10|0, offset 2, the length of the refused text. Three backspaces and250give250|0, andsettings.jsongets2500. Same atv0.4.0.Cause: after a refusal, ctui bumps
menu.entryand focuses the newmenu-monthly-<entry>field. The ring never leaves the field's index, and the engine keeps the old Input's cursor offset for the new one.Inputhas no cursor prop. Focus walking onto an Input from another row puts the cursor at the end, and a probe that focusedCostand then the new field fixed it (saved250).MEMORY.md: "
/ctuiis one instant menu…" is incomplete, not stale. Its "…and focus it" needs the move throughCost; the fix ticket carries that edit.
