Problem
Paste collapse
When pasting text into the prompt, Hermes collapses it to a file reference at a hardcoded 5-line threshold. This isn't configurable and the fallback heuristic (for terminals without bracketed paste) replaces the entire buffer — losing any prompt text the user had typed — with no way to disable it.
Scroll indicators
The input area caps at 8 lines with internal scrolling, but there's no visual indication that content exists above or below the visible viewport when the content overflows.
Proposed Solution
Paste collapse thresholds
paste_collapse_threshold (default: 5) — configurable threshold for bracketed paste (safe: appends)paste_collapse_threshold_fallback (default: 0) — configurable threshold for the fallback heuristic (destructive: replaces buffer), disabled by default
Scroll indicators
- ▲ on top border when cursor is scrolled past visual top
- ▼ on bottom border when there's content below the visible area
