vt: kbd lockup fix

Bite-sized tasks for the spec at
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-24-fsh-interactive-widgets-design.md.
Verification uses node --check for JS syntax and a final manual smoke
test in the emulator; the TSVM cannot be machine-invoked.

+
+**Re-bind the local `inst` after any mid-tick `triggerNote`.** `applyTrackerTick` binds `var inst = instruments[voice.instrumentId]` once at the top of the per-voice loop. When the note-delay (`S$Dx`) deferred trigger fires mid-tick, `triggerNote` swaps the voice's `instrumentId` — but the rest of that tick (playback-rate recompute at the `computePlaybackRate(inst, finalPitch)` line, `advanceEnvelope`, `advancePfEnvelope`, `advanceAutoVibrato`, and the fadeout / filter-env reads of `inst.*`) keeps using the captured binding. The damage on a **never-triggered voice** (`instrumentId == 0` → stale `inst = instruments[0]`, whose `samplingRate == 0`) is that `playbackRate` is overwritten with `0.0`, freezing the sample at its start for the trigger tick — perceived as "the first delayed note on a fresh channel doesn't fire" (canonical: WHEN.taud cue 0 voice 13 pattern 0x0A row 16, inst `0x11` SD2 on a fresh play). On a warm voice the stale `inst` is a real instrument with non-zero rate, so the note sounds (at the wrong rate for one tick — a sub-perceptual glitch). Re-bind `inst = instruments[voice.instrumentId]` immediately after the note-delay fire block. Any future in-tick trigger paths (currently only S$Dx) must do the same.

+## Virtual Consoles (vtmgr)
+
+Linux-style virtual consoles for TVDOS: up to 6 independent shell sessions,
+switched with **Alt-1..Alt-6** or the **`chvt N`** builtin, **Alt-0** to exit.
+Implemented entirely in JS — **no tsvm_core changes**.
+
+### Architecture
+
+- **Dispatcher**: `assets/disk0/tvdos/VTMGR.SYS`. Launched directly by the
+  `TVDOS.SYS` boot block (only when `!_TVDOS_IS_VT_PANE`); when it exits (Alt-0)
+  the boot block runs `AUTOEXEC.BAT` as the bare fallback shell. Owns the
+  physical keyboard and screen. Each VT runs in its own GraalVM context/thread
+  via the existing `parallel.spawnNewContext` / `attachProgram` / `launch` API
+  (see `VMJSR223Delegate.kt` `class Parallel`). VT 1 spawns at boot; VT 2-6 are
+  lazy-spawned on first switch and re-spawned if their shell exits.
+- **Concurrency model**: truly concurrent — switching works mid-command, not
+  just at the prompt. Background panes keep running (no `Thread.suspend`; it is
+  unusable on JDK 21). A cooperative gate inside the shimmed `con.getch` parks
+  panes blocked on input; CPU-bound background panes are allowed to run.
+- **Shared memory**: one `sys.malloc` region holds a control block (active VT,
+  switch request, debounce, spawned-bits) plus, per VT, an input ring buffer and
+  a 7682-byte text-plane buffer mirroring the GPU text-area layout
+  (cursor 2 + fore 2560 + back 2560 + char 2560).
+- **Compositor** (30 Hz): blits the active VT's text plane to the physical GPU
+  text area via `sys.memcpy`, and pushes that VT's cursor-visibility into the GPU
+  blink bit (MMIO attribute byte 6, addressed at `-1 - (131072*gpuSlot + 6)`).
+- **Boot config split (`commandrc` + `AUTOEXEC.BAT`)**: environment setup and
+  app-launch are split into two files so panes can replay one without the other.
+  `\commandrc` holds the `set` commands (PATH/INCLPATH/HELPPATH/KEYBOARD) and is
+  run by the `TVDOS.SYS` boot block in **every** context (boot and pane) — it has
+  no `.BAT` extension, so the boot block runs it line-by-line (`set` mutates the
+  shared `_TVDOS.variables`, so the effect persists). `\AUTOEXEC.BAT` is the
+  **per-console launch** script (Korean IME `tvdos/i18n/korean`, then
+  `command -fancy`); it is run once per console — by each pane's bootstrap, and
+  by the boot block as the post-vtmgr fallback. No env snapshot/replay anymore;
+  each pane gets PATH/KEYBOARD/etc. natively from `commandrc`, and Korean IME
+  (a per-context `unicode.uniprint` handler) now registers in every pane.
+- **Per-pane bootstrap**: each pane re-evals `TVDOS.SYS` (with `_TVDOS_IS_VT_PANE`
+  set — which makes the boot block run `commandrc` but skip the vtmgr/AUTOEXEC
+  launch — and a `_BIOS` stub captured live from the main context) then runs
+  `command -c \AUTOEXEC.BAT`, all in ONE direct `eval` so the launcher shares
+  scope with `_TVDOS`/`files`/`execApp`.
+
+### Output/input shimming (in the pane bootstrap)
+
+`con` and the global `print`/`println` family are plain JS, so the bootstrap
+overrides them to read/write the per-VT shared-memory buffers instead of the
+physical GPU. **`sys` and `graphics` are host objects and CANNOT be overridden
+from JS** — this is the key constraint that shapes everything below.
+
+- The shimmed `print` is a faithful JS port of the GPU's TTY interpreter
+  (`GlassTty.acceptChar` + `GraphicsAdapter` handlers): control bytes, the
+  `\x84<decimal>u` "emit char by code" escape (used by `con.prnch`), CSI cursor
+  moves / erase / SGR colours, and the `?25` cursor-visibility private sequence.
+  A swallow-only parser is NOT enough — TVDOS apps drive the screen through
+  these `print` escapes.
+- `con.move`/`con.getyx` are **1-based** (mirroring `graphics.setCursorYX`'s
+  `cx-1` and `getCursorYX`'s `cx+1`); `con.addch` does NOT advance the cursor
+  (matches `graphics.putSymbol`), while `con.prnch` DOES.
+- `command.js`'s `shell.execute` reassigns the global print family to
+  `shell.stdio.out.*`, which call `sys.print` (→ physical GPU). `shell.stdio.out`
+  was made to delegate to a `globalThis.__VT_OUT` hook when present (set by the
+  bootstrap); outside a VT the hook is absent and the path is byte-identical.
+
+### Direct-VRAM apps need a VT-aware base (the `vaddr` pattern)
+
+Apps that write the text area directly via `graphics.getGpuMemBase()` (rather
+than `con.*`/`print`) bypass the shims and paint the physical screen, invading
+whatever VT is visible. They must resolve text-area byte `m` through a
+VT-aware base:
+
+```js
+// physical: backward  (byte m at gpuBase - m)   — getDev inverts to forward-native
+// VT pane:  forward   (byte m at VT_TEXT_PLANE + m, the pane buffer the compositor blits)
+const VT = (typeof globalThis.VT_TEXT_PLANE !== 'undefined')
+const VRAM_BASE = VT ? globalThis.VT_TEXT_PLANE : (graphics.getGpuMemBase() - 253950)
+const VRAM_SGN  = VT ? 1 : -1
+function vaddr(m) { return VRAM_BASE + VRAM_SGN * m }
+```
+
+`sys.memcpy`/`sys.pokeBytes` copy forward in the resolved native memory, so this
+works for both directions. The physical branch is identical to the original
+arithmetic (no regression outside vtmgr). Applied so far in
+`assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/taut.js` and `assets/disk0/hopper/include/aa.mjs`
+(used by `bb.js`). Any future direct-VRAM app needs the same one-line `vaddr`.
+
+### Files
+
+- New: `assets/disk0/tvdos/VTMGR.SYS` (dispatcher + per-pane bootstrap)
+- `assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/command.js`: `chvt` builtin, `[N]` prompt prefix for
+  VT 2-6, `shell.stdio.out` → `__VT_OUT` delegation
+- `assets/disk0/tvdos/TVDOS.SYS`: boot block runs `\commandrc` (env) in every
+  context, then — only when `!_TVDOS_IS_VT_PANE` — launches `tvdos/sbin/vtmgr`
+  and, on its exit, `\AUTOEXEC.BAT` as the fallback shell
+- `assets/disk0/commandrc`: env-only `set` commands (PATH/INCLPATH/HELPPATH/KEYBOARD)
+- `assets/disk0/AUTOEXEC.BAT`: per-console launch (Korean IME + `command -fancy`)
+- `assets/disk0/tvdos/bin/taut.js`, `assets/disk0/hopper/include/aa.mjs`:
+  `vaddr` VT-aware direct-VRAM addressing
+
+### Gotcha: injectIntChk vs. embedded source
+
+`execApp`/`require` run a program's source through `injectIntChk` (TVDOS.SYS),
+which sed-rewrites the **first** `while`/`for`/`do` of each kind to call a
+per-exec `tvdosSIGTERM_<hash>()` SIGTERM check. When vtmgr embeds the pane
+bootstrap as a string literal, one of those rewrites can land inside the literal
+— and the pane context has no such symbol. vtmgr strips them from the bootstrap
+string with `raw.replace(/tvdosSIGTERM_[A-Za-z0-9_]+\(\);?/g, '')`. Any future
+code that builds executable source as a string literal must do the same.

+ * operate on the planes — see mediadec_ipf.mjs.)

+ *   .frameWidth/.frameHeight dimensions of the frame in .frameBuffer
+ *   .blit()                 upload the current RAM frame to the screen (adapter)
+ *   .sampleGray(dst,w,h)    fill an ASCII brightness buffer from the RAM frame
+ *   .sampleColour(dst,w,h)  fill a per-cell RGB buffer (w*h*3) from the RAM frame

+/*
+ * synopsis.mjs -- TVDOS Synopsis Format (TSF) loader, cache and completion
+ * resolver.
+ *
+ * A TSF document (see the "Command Synopsis Format" chapter of the manual and
+ * tvdos_synopsis_format_draft.md) is a JSON file describing a command's
+ * command-line interface: its options, positional arguments, subcommands,
+ * argument types, completion sources and validation constraints.  This module
+ * turns those documents into the answers command.js needs while the user is
+ * typing -- chiefly "what can come next at the caret?".
+ *
+ * Where the documents live
+ * ------------------------
+ *   * Apps          : colocated with the executable, full filename + ".synopsis"
+ *                     e.g. \tvdos\bin\geturl.js  ->  \tvdos\bin\geturl.js.synopsis
+ *   * Built-in       : the shell coreutils are not files, so their synopses live
+ *     coreutils       in a dedicated directory, \tvdos\synopsis\<name>.synopsis.
+ *                     Aliases (ls -> dir, rm -> del, ...) resolve to the
+ *                     canonical command's file automatically.
+ *
+ * Caching (two layers)
+ * --------------------
+ * Parsing JSON and compiling a completion model on every TAB would be wasteful,
+ * so results are cached:
+ *   1. In memory, for the life of the shell session (command.js keeps the
+ *      require() handle, so this object persists across keystrokes).
+ *   2. On disk, under \tvdos\cache\synopsis\, as a compiled-model blob.  The
+ *      TSVM file layer exposes no reliable modification time, so the cache is
+ *      validated against the source file's *byte size* plus a CACHE_VERSION
+ *      stamp.  A source edit that preserves the byte count will not invalidate
+ *      the disk cache -- an accepted trade-off.  Every disk operation is
+ *      best-effort: a failure never breaks completion, it just falls back to
+ *      re-parsing.
+ *
+ * Public API
+ * ----------
+ *   getCompletion(commandToken, prefixTokens, word) -> result | { ok:false }
+ *   getModel(commandToken)            -> compiled model | null
+ *   getSummary(commandToken)          -> one-line summary | null
+ *   getUsage(commandToken)            -> generated usage string | null
+ *   resolveSynopsisPath(commandToken) -> full path | null
+ *   registerProvider(name, fn)        -> register an `internal` completion source

+// Behaviour:
+//   - Tab / Shift+Tab and arrow Down / Up cycle focus across fields, list, and buttons.
+//     Inside the list, arrow Up / Down move the cursor between selectable rows;
+//     PgUp/PgDn move a page; Home/End jump to the first/last selectable row.
+//   - Left / Right inside a field move the caret; on the list or a button they cycle focus.
+//   - Home / End jump to start / end of the focused field.
+//   - Enter on a field jumps to the next field, then to the first button. Enter
+//     or Space on a button activates it. Enter or Space on a list row invokes
+//     `onActivate(item, idx, key)`; if that returns a string, the dialog closes
+//     with that action.
+//   - Insert at caret. Backspace deletes left of caret; Forward-Del deletes right.
+//   - Blinking caret (`con.curs_set(1)`) is positioned on the focused field and
+//     hidden when the list or a button has focus.
+//   - Mouse: left-click on a button activates it; click on a field puts focus
+//     on that field and positions the caret under the click; click on a list row
+//     moves the cursor (and fires `onActivate` if defined); mouse-wheel inside the
+//     list scrolls it. Mouse hover on a button moves focus to it (the same focus
+//     the keyboard uses).
