-- Portable branch: `githubsucks/vterm-framing`
-- Approved framing head: `fb4f8f0`
-- Base: canonical `main` @ `643d1e1` (Vterm Stage 1 / PR #126 merged).
-  `main` has since advanced to `2e37c04` (config registry #127, no

-  not from `643d1e1`.
-- State: `docs/vterm-framing.md` Revision 7 is framing-only, reviewed, and
-  approved for implementation. It closes the final `at_bottom`, terminal
-  `C-c` binding-reachability, and context-implicit Lua failure-mode findings.
-  There is no Stage 2 runtime implementation or PR yet.
-- Next lane: create `pmacs-vterm-tui` / `vterm-tui` from current canonical
-  `main`, carry the approved framing as its first commit, then implement and
-  gate Stage 2. Do not implement on `vterm-framing`.
+- Portable branch: `githubsucks/vterm-tui`
+- Current local head: `da8f6ae`
+- Base: canonical `main` @ `f1a2f75` (handoff refresh #128 atop config
+  registry #127 and Vterm Stage 1 #126).
+- State: `docs/vterm-framing.md` Revision 7 criteria 15–27 are implemented.
+  The lane composes per-frontend/window terminal views in the TUI, installs
+  the strict `pmacs.terminal` API and terminal-local bindings, drains
+  clipboard/BEL through the authenticated frontend, and routes daemon
+  terminal input by connection source. Protocol remains v18; Stage 2 changes
+  neither the wire schema nor the GPU renderer.
+- Implementation commits: `39e07cb`, `7c39535`, `0a846d9`, `0dacac7`,
+  `dc92257`, merge `0ddff24`, and final integration hardening `da8f6ae`.
+- Final from-start verification: `cargo fmt --check`; strict workspace

+- Next: push the branch and open the Stage 2 PR against canonical `main`.
