The compact pane is prompt-only because the feed above shows the context.
An error is the exception: the feed cannot show it. A tool_result only
reaches us with the next request, which a turn that died never sends, and
an `API Error` row is Claude Code's own text, never in the stream at all.
So the frame walks further up to take the report in, and the scheduled
ctrl-l wipe is cancelled while one is framed — Ink redraws only the live
frame, so wiping would delete the error 400ms after it appeared.
Detection is text shape, not colour: the tool error renders palette 211
and the API error 220, both theme values. ERROR_SCAN is the only bound,
which is what makes it self-limiting — the error drifts out of the window
as the next turn prints output and the pane shrinks back on its own.
