Input modes

• Normal — type instructions naturally
• Multi-line — press Shift+Enter for newlines
• Paste — pasted text is processed as a single instruction

Streaming output

All output streams in real time:

• Reasoning steps appear as they're generated
• Tool calls show before execution
• Results display immediately after completion
