tmux Real User Testing
Run Qwen Code in a real tmux TUI session as a user would: navigate dialogs, trigger slash commands, exercise workflows, and save a readable log that maintainers can review. Prefer this workflow when the goal is not just a pass/fail assertion, but a narrative artifact showing what happened on screen.
Core principle
Use tmux as a real-use harness. Drive the TUI with realistic keyboard actions,
then save a step-by-step readable transcript with tmux capture-pane -p after
each meaningful state change.
Avoid relying on tmux pipe-pane as the primary report. pipe-pane captures raw
ANSI/control streams from React Ink TUI output and often looks like garbled text
when opened as plain text. Use pipe-pane only as an optional forensic artifact. Make
tmux-readable-full.log the main deliverable.
