- State the contract precisely: the cut never introduces a lone high
surrogate, and an unpaired surrogate the input already carries is not
repaired.
- Document the new export in the package README: a character-budget preview
section naming the persistent bash and pwsh shells and str_replace_editor,
plus a Known Limitations bullet that no longer contradicts it.
- Drop the assertion restatement from the two shell test comments.
- Let the str-replace test helper reuse a root so the clipped context reads
its file inside its own working directory.
Three tools capped the preview text they return with String.prototype.slice
at a UTF-16 code-unit budget. A cut that lands inside a surrogate pair
leaves a lone high surrogate, which is not well-formed text: a strict JSON
reader rejects the durable Session log carrying it, and the preview shows a
broken glyph. A lone surrogate retained in history has already blocked every
later Messages request for one session.
Centralize the cap in output-retention as
truncateWithoutSplittingSurrogatePair, and use it from the persistent bash
and pwsh shells and the string-replace editor. The cut drops the unpaired
half instead of keeping it, so the retained text stays a prefix and is at
most one code unit shorter than before.
The new dependency edges and the shifted Config sources regenerate
docs/module-graph and docs/config-catalog, including the committed
translation pair.

The minimal compositions serve the same models that trained against a
one-shot `bash` tool; three surface differences remained visible to them.
- Every settled command now appends `[Command finished with exit code N]`,
including exit code 0, instead of `[exit code: N]` only on failure. A
timeout appends `[Command timed out or OOM]` after the partial output.
- Trailing newlines are all dropped before the status trailer rather than
only the last one.
- The `bash` description in the `minimal` preset and the `sdk-minimal`
bundle replaces the two fixed network lines with a single environment-
dependent line; the pwsh description is unchanged.
Tests, READMEs, the web minimal-preset schema snapshot, and the packaged
Python minimal model-visible snapshot follow the new wording. The
standalone `persistent-tools` SDK replay fixture keeps its own copy of the
old description since it is a per-launch customization, not the profile.
tool-bash-persistent overwrote the backend's PS1, so terminal-bash prompt
readiness never matched and every send degraded to the 3.5s silence tier
(idleSilenceMs + handoffGraceMs) under production defaults.
The controlled PROMPT_COMMAND now re-asserts PS1 before every prompt, so an
in-shell override never survives to the next prompt. The tool initializes
with stty -echo alone and detects the no-end-marker fallback through the
seam's stdin_read wait reason instead of matching its own prompt text.
Tool calls drop from 7180/3560/3566 ms to 355/88/91 ms (spawn+init+echo,
echo, pwd; darwin, production defaults). The loader composition suite now
pins the fast path by pushing idleSilenceMs beyond the send bound, and a
real-PTY case proves PS1 self-healing.
