Shells with job control put real jobs in their own group, so commands like "top" survived untouched. The fix signals the group,…
The second theme is card integrity. Commit 02f7ea2 found that command output was getting folded into the previous chat bubble, with ANSI color codes leaking out as raw text — because the transcript's grouping logic rendered merged rows using only the first entry's properties. The fix gives every command its own card…
