The Shell shows the replies to its own commands and nothing else. The
console knows who each line is printed for (Console::As, Console::origin):
a command run from the Shell prints as the Shell's, and what answers it
later from another task carries that along (ls, tasks, du, cp, update
check, sd list, screenshot, gemini get). Ctrl+b shows everything instead.
This replaces the ten-second window, which was a guess.
An App's name with a capital opens it (Notes, Irc, Wifi, Gnss, Gemini, Lora,
Storage, Shell, System, Settings), from the Shell and from the consoles.
rm needs -r for a folder, here and over the consoles. In the Shell a file,
or a folder with something in it, is asked about unless -f; an empty folder
with -r goes without a word.
The Shell now hands its line to the main loop to run: run from inside the
key handler, rm on a folder overflowed the loop's stack and crashed the
device. `info` says which App is in front.

Fn+h on any screen, text fields included, and ? outside Text Entry, open a
panel over the content area: the screen's own keys, then the ones that work
everywhere. Every App declares its keys for the state it is in (pages,
viewers, dialogs and text fields answer for themselves); the App manager
opens the panel and takes every key while it is open.
About 30 hint lines are gone, from every App. What stays on a screen is
state. The first-start Setup keeps its hints and teaches the key; a device
set up before gets one Toast, once. The guide and the FAQ open with it.
`key help` over the consoles.
476 host tests (8 new). Checked on the device with key help and screenshots:
the Launcher, all nine Apps and several of their states. 8.5 KB of flash and
40 bytes of static RAM. Decisions Q196 to Q203 in docs/milestones/U1.md.

A Counted<> wrapper around the network clients adds what goes through
their buffer read and write to a per-service counter (IRC, Gemini, Debug
Console, Updates); the single-byte calls and print() end up there, so
each byte counts once. `net` prints the totals. For TLS it's the plain
text the service sees.
Checked on the device: a Gemini fetch counts 164,986 in (a 164,970-byte
page and its 16-byte header) and 42 out (the URL and CRLF).

Found in M3 while checking floors with the radio on: a windowed page left
1.5 to 3 KB less than the 40 KB steady floor (Q86), radio or not. The
budget counted TextBuffer's index (8 B/line) but not the App's tables,
which also grew by doubling. Now 16 B/line, and the App sizes them
exactly. The FAQ (1051 lines, windowed): 38.5 -> 39.6 KB after, radio
asleep; 37.1 -> 39.0 KB with the radio listening.

A page larger than memory allows is now windowed instead of cut: one
pass over its file (cache or Saved Page) counts lines, indexes every
64th (offset, and the preformatted state there in bit 31: about 1 KB
for a 1 MB page) and loads the first window. Scrolling near either end
reads the next or previous window on the Gemini task; the line on top
of the screen stays put, the scrollbar follows the whole page, and Tab
at a window's edge pages on instead of wrapping. Window budgets count
the memory the old window gives back.
Display pages alternate between two cache files so the one on screen
is never overwritten by the next fetch; jobs use a third.
On the device, Cosmos with IRC connected: 226 of 419 lines at first,
then lines 192-419, back to 64 and 0 while scrolling. `key space` added
to the console's key command.

Everything touching the network or the card is a job on the Gemini
task (a missing card can block 5 s, past the main loop's watchdog):
about:start is composed from /gemini/bookmarks.gmi and the Saved Pages
(by capsule, newest first); file:// opens a Saved Page; s, S, r, d, b
and downloads report one line to the URL bar, S with progress Toasts.
A Saved Page is the cached body with a first line "> Saved from <url>
on <date>": it shows as a quote and gives relative links their base;
inside one, links to other Saved Pages open the saved copy, others go
online or say "Not saved, and offline". Input prompts (11 masked)
request the same URL with the answer as its query.
Fixed on the way: re-wrapping indented lines rebuilt the text from its
rows, inserting a space where a long word had been cut; refreshing
loaded the whole Saved Page next to a TLS connection (heap down to 436
bytes), now it reads one line and every fetch checks the 55 KB floor.

GeminiService fetches on a short-lived task and hands the App a
GeminiPage: header, the body as lines in 4 KB chunks (TextBuffer: no
large block, no doubling copies), the final URL after up to 5
redirects. Certificates are pinned on first use per host and port; a
change comes back as its own outcome with both fingerprints. No fetch
starts below 55 KB free (Q86).
With a card, the body streams to /gemini/cache/page.gmi in 1 KB pieces
while the connection is open, then loads into RAM once its memory is
back (Q87); StorageService::runAndWait (moved from the Debug Console)
keeps every card access on the storage task. Without a card: RAM, with
the steady and transient floors.
Measured with IRC connected: Cosmos (31.6 KB) went from 4.6 KB to the
whole page on the card and 20 KB on screen; lowest free heap 19.5 KB
in transfer, 43 KB once loaded. `gemini get` and `gemini trust` on the
console. 14 Gemini tests.

`gemini get <url>` fetches on a short-lived task (a handshake would trip
the main loop's watchdog; an idle client should cost no stack) and
reports the header, size, certificate fingerprint and heap. First page:
geminiprotocol.net, 20 text/gemini, 1,184 bytes in 0.7-1.1 s.
With IRC connected over TLS, a fetch dips to about 24 KB free during its
handshake, about 36-40 KB after it; nothing leaks. Antenna is down, so
the default aggregator becomes Cosmos.
