4// next-steps-appcard: when a turn ends, fork the session (shares the prompt cache, so
5// it has full context for the price of one short reply) and ask for up to
6// three likely next prompts. Draw them in the band above the composer as a
7// card: a title row with a collapse toggle and a close button, over a small
8// framed card per suggestion, its label a button over the full prompt. The
9// whole has no frame of its own and no blank rows: the band scrolls a tree
10// taller than the rows it is given (12 in the desktop app), and every row
11// spent on chrome is one a wrapped prompt cannot use. The card starts
12// collapsed to its title row (the `startCollapsed` option), and the session
13// keeps the person's last expand or collapse. It is
14// drawn here and is not the engine's question dialog ($.ui.ask): raised
15// outside a turn, the dialog reaches the desktop app as a tool's permission
16// request, and answering one leaves the app waiting on a turn that never ends.
17// A pick becomes a draft, never a sent prompt: the composer takes it
18// ($.prompt.fill) for the person to edit and Enter. Where the session binds no
19// composer a plugin can write, the band shows a field holding the text
20// instead, sent by Enter or the send button as the person's own words
21// ($.prompt.submit asUser, or $.command.run for a "/skill arguments" prompt).
22// Nothing is sent until the person sends it. The top suggestion is also the
23// composer's dim Tab-to-take ghost text ($.prompt.suggest).
24// The fork is also handed the session's skills and slash commands
25// ($.command.list), so a suggestion can be "/skill arguments".
