Switches the interactive chat input from inquire::Text to rustyline with bracket paste mode enabled, so pasted multi-line text stays as a single message instead of being split on each newline. Adds slash-command tab completion via rustyline's Completer trait and a placeholder hint via Hinter. History is now managed natively by rustyline with arrow-key navigation. https://claude.ai/code/session_017YeCUYbAKZqsGV4599Rrso

- Replace "assistant:" label with "◆ agent_name:" using the current agent's
display name instead of a generic role label
- Add /tools slash command to toggle tool call output on/off, letting users
hide noisy tool blocks and focus on agent responses
- Suppress internal probe calls (load_skill("?"), discovery GET requests)
from non-verbose output since they're agent internals
- Show thread ID in welcome header and on exit so users can easily resume
sessions with /resume last or /resume <id>
- Show short thread ID when context is cleared via /clear

Use rustyline's ConditionalEventHandler to bind Ctrl+O as a toggle for tool output visibility. The hint text updates to show "[tools hidden · Ctrl+O]" when tools are hidden. Shared state via Arc<AtomicBool> between the helper (for hints) and the handler (for toggling). Help message now has a dedicated KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS section. https://claude.ai/code/session_017YeCUYbAKZqsGV4599Rrso
- Add --resume <id|last> flag to both `tui` and `run` commands so users can resume a thread directly from the CLI without entering interactive mode first - Implement double Ctrl+C to exit: first press shows a hint, second press within 2 seconds exits. Ctrl+D still exits immediately - Print thread message history when resuming (via --resume flag or /resume command), showing user prompts and assistant responses in a compact gray format so the user has context - Add get_thread_messages() to the Distri client for fetching thread message history from the server https://claude.ai/code/session_017YeCUYbAKZqsGV4599Rrso
