OMP Internals Deep-Dive (11): TUI Differential Rendering & Composer

OMP builds a custom TUI engine (packages/tui + packages/coding-agent/src/tui) rather than using React/Ink. Core designs: differential rendering (repaint only changed lines via reference equality), explicit history contract, composer multi-modal input & keybindings system. This article analyzes architecture decisions and implementation details from source code.
