+# PIR Plan: Keyboard shortcut to forward the symbol/hunk under the cursor to the builder
+
+## Understanding
+
+The unified builder-diff editor (#789 / PR #1023) forwards file / hunk / symbol
+references into a builder's PTY, but every granular surface is **mouse-driven**:
+
+- The file-header codelens injects the file path.
+- The per-symbol / per-hunk codelens injects `path/to/file.ts:L42-L58`.
+- `Cmd/Ctrl+K B` (`codev.forwardSelectionToBuilder`) needs an explicit text
+  selection (`when: … && editorHasSelection`) — a two-step motion.
+
+There is no single keystroke for the natural review motion *"my cursor is inside
+this hunk / function; forward whatever covers it."* Codelens has no keyboard
+activator in VS Code, so the lens is mouse-only by construction.
+
+This issue adds a **new command + keybinding** that resolves the cursor's current
+line to its enclosing symbol (first), else the containing changed hunk, else the
+bare file, and injects the reference into the builder PTY — reusing the exact
+inject path the codelens already uses (no Enter pressed).
+
+### Codebase notes (verified in the worktree)
+
+- **Paths moved.** The issue references `packages/vscode/...`; the code now lives
+  under `apps/vscode/...`. All file paths below use the real `apps/vscode/` root.
+- `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-ref.ts` is `vscode`-free and already exports the
+  pure selection/ref helpers: `buildSymbolLensDescriptors` (the file-level +
+  forwardable-symbol lens set), `parseHunkRanges`, `buildBuilderFileRef`,
+  `buildBuilderRangeRef`, and the `SymbolNode` / `ChangedRange` / `LensDescriptor`
+  types.
+- `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-codelens.ts` owns the diff-inject **registry**
+  (`getDiffInjectEntry(fsPath)` → `{ builderId, relPath, hunks }`), the
+  `codev.activeEditorIsBuilderFile` context key, and a private `toSymbolNode`
+  mapper (`vscode.DocumentSymbol` → `SymbolNode`).
+- `apps/vscode/src/extension.ts` registers the command handlers. Two existing
+  handlers are the closest precedent and are **palette-only (unbound)**:
+  - `codev.forwardCurrentHunkToBuilder` (extension.ts:1227) — hunk-only, no
+    symbol step, no file fallback; status-bars "place the cursor in a changed
+    hunk" on a miss.
+  - `codev.forwardCurrentFileToBuilder` (extension.ts:1217) — file path only.
+  Both delegate to `codev.forwardToBuilder(builderId, refText)` (extension.ts:1163),
+  which opens/reveals the builder terminal and injects the text without Enter.
+  This is the inject path the new command reuses verbatim.
+- Keybindings live in `apps/vscode/package.json` under `contributes.keybindings`
+  (the `Cmd/Ctrl+K` family: `k a`, `k d`, `k g`, `k b`, `k i`); command titles
+  under `contributes.commands`.
+
+## Proposed Change
+
+Add one new command, `codev.forwardCursorContextToBuilder`, wired to
+`Cmd/Ctrl+K H`, plus one new **pure** resolver in `diff-inject-ref.ts` that the
+command (and its unit tests) call. The existing commands, codelens, and
+`Cmd/Ctrl+K B` are left untouched (additive change).
+
+### 1. New pure resolver in `diff-inject-ref.ts`
+
+```ts
+export type CursorRef =
+  | { kind: 'symbol' | 'hunk'; refText: string; range: ChangedRange }
+  | { kind: 'file'; refText: string };
+
+/**
+ * Resolve the reference to forward for a cursor sitting on `cursorLine` (1-based,
+ * new-side). Resolution order (locked by the issue):
+ *   1. Symbol — the most specific forwardable symbol whose range contains the
+ *      cursor. "Forwardable" == exactly the symbol set the codelens exposes, so
+ *      the keyboard lands on the same range a lens click would.
+ *   2. Hunk — the changed range containing the cursor.
+ *   3. File — the bare file path.
+ */
+export function resolveCursorRef(
+  relPath: string,
+  symbols: SymbolNode[],
+  hunks: ChangedRange[],
+  cursorLine: number,
+): CursorRef
+```
+
+**Symbol step — reuse the existing lens model.** Rather than walk raw symbols
+(which would forward scalar consts or deeply nested blocks the codelens never
+shows), the resolver derives its candidate symbols from
+`buildSymbolLensDescriptors(relPath, symbols)` — the *same* file-level +
+forwardable-declaration set the lenses render. Among descriptors that carry a
+`range` (i.e. not the file-level lens) containing `cursorLine`, pick the one with
+the **smallest span** (most specific: a method inside a class beats the class).
+This guarantees acceptance-criterion parity: pressing the key inside a symbol
+injects exactly what clicking that symbol's lens would, `L<start>-L<end>`.
+
+**Hunk step.** If no symbol range contains the cursor, scan `hunks`
+(`ChangedRange[]`, already 1-based new-side, carried on the registry entry) for
+one containing `cursorLine`; inject `buildBuilderRangeRef(relPath, h.start, h.end)`.
+
+**File step.** Otherwise return `{ kind: 'file', refText: buildBuilderFileRef(relPath) }`.
+
+This keeps *all* resolution logic `vscode`-free and unit-testable; the command
+handler is a thin adapter.
+
+### 2. Export the symbol mapper
+
+`toSymbolNode` in `diff-inject-codelens.ts` is currently private. Export it (and
+re-export or import it in `extension.ts`) so the new handler can map the live
+`vscode.DocumentSymbol[]` to `SymbolNode[]` without duplicating the mapper. No
+behavior change to the provider.
+
+### 3. New command handler in `extension.ts`
+
+Register `codev.forwardCursorContextToBuilder` alongside the existing forward
+commands:
+
+```ts
+reg('codev.forwardCursorContextToBuilder', async () => {
+  const editor = vscode.window.activeTextEditor;
+  if (!editor) { return; }
+  const entry = getDiffInjectEntry(editor.document.uri.fsPath);
+  if (!entry) { return; }
+  const cursorLine = editor.selection.active.line + 1; // 1-based new-side
+  let symbols: vscode.DocumentSymbol[] = [];
+  try {
+    symbols = (await vscode.commands.executeCommand<vscode.DocumentSymbol[]>(
+      'vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider', editor.document.uri)) ?? [];
+  } catch { symbols = []; }
+  const resolved = resolveCursorRef(
+    entry.relPath, symbols.map(toSymbolNode), entry.hunks, cursorLine);
+  if (resolved.kind === 'file') {
+    vscode.window.setStatusBarMessage(
+      'Codev: forwarded file path (no symbol or hunk at cursor)', 3000);
+  }
+  await vscode.commands.executeCommand(
+    'codev.forwardToBuilder', entry.builderId, resolved.refText);
+});
+```
+
+Focus stays on the diff editor; `forwardToBuilder` reveals/opens the terminal and
+injects without stealing keyboard focus (same as every existing forward action),
+and no picker/modal is shown — builder is inherited from the registry entry
+(plan-gate decision #5).
+
+### 4. Contribute command + keybinding in `package.json`
+
+- `contributes.commands`: add
+  `{ "command": "codev.forwardCursorContextToBuilder", "title": "Codev: Forward Symbol / Hunk at Cursor to Builder" }`
+  (palette-discoverable).
+- `contributes.keybindings`: add
+  ```json
+  {
+    "command": "codev.forwardCursorContextToBuilder",
+    "key": "ctrl+k h",
+    "mac": "cmd+k h",
+    "when": "codev.activeEditorIsBuilderFile && editorTextFocus"
+  }
+  ```
+  `editorTextFocus` (not `editorHasSelection`) — cursor only, no selection
+  required. `codev.activeEditorIsBuilderFile` scopes it to tracked builder-diff
+  files so it never fires in unrelated diff/editor tabs.
+
+### 5. Unit tests
+
+Add cases to `apps/vscode/src/__tests__/diff-inject-ref.test.ts` (pure, no vscode
+mock) covering `resolveCursorRef`:
+
+- cursor inside a top-level function → symbol range;
+- cursor inside a method within a class → the **method** (most specific), not the class;
+- cursor on a declaration line vs body line — both resolve to the enclosing symbol;
+- no symbol but inside a hunk → hunk range;
+- no symbol and no hunk → file ref (`kind: 'file'`);
+- new-file diff (symbols present, empty `hunks`) → symbol still resolves;
+- symbol-present-but-cursor-outside-it, inside a hunk → hunk wins (order).
+
+## Files to Change
+
+- `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-ref.ts` — add `CursorRef` type + `resolveCursorRef`
+  pure helper (built on the existing `buildSymbolLensDescriptors`, `buildBuilderRangeRef`,
+  `buildBuilderFileRef`).
+- `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-codelens.ts` — `export` the `toSymbolNode` mapper
+  (currently private; no logic change).
+- `apps/vscode/src/extension.ts` — register `codev.forwardCursorContextToBuilder`
+  (~15 lines) near the existing `forwardCurrentHunkToBuilder` (extension.ts:1227);
+  import `resolveCursorRef` + `toSymbolNode`.
+- `apps/vscode/package.json` — add the command declaration (`contributes.commands`)
+  and the `Cmd/Ctrl+K H` keybinding (`contributes.keybindings`).
+- `apps/vscode/src/__tests__/diff-inject-ref.test.ts` — resolution-order unit tests.
+
+## Risks & Alternatives Considered
+
+- **Risk: keybinding collision.** The issue verified `cmd+k h` / `cmd+k cmd+h`
+  are both unbound in VS Code defaults. Adjacent risk: `cmd+k cmd+b` is
+  `editor.action.setSelectionAnchor`; a user who learned that chord but releases
+  Cmd between keys lands on `cmd+k b` (forward-selection), not our new binding —
+  pre-existing, unchanged by this work. Mitigation: ship as a rebindable default,
+  matching the `Cmd/Ctrl+K B` precedent.
+- **Risk: symbol resolution diverging from the codelens.** Mitigated by deriving
+  candidates from `buildSymbolLensDescriptors` (the same set the lenses render),
+  so keyboard == click. Rejected alternative: walking raw `SymbolNode` trees for
+  the "most specific symbol of any kind" — it would forward scalar consts / nested
+  blocks that have no lens, breaking the "keyboard equivalent of a codelens click"
+  contract and surprising the reviewer.
+- **Alternative: bind `Cmd/Ctrl+K H` to the existing `forwardCurrentHunkToBuilder`.**
+  Rejected — that command is hunk-only with no symbol step and no file fallback;
+  it status-bars a *failure* ("place the cursor in a changed hunk") instead of
+  falling through, missing acceptance criteria #2 (symbol) and #4 (file fallback).
+  A new unified resolver is required.
+- **Alternative: carry symbols on the registry entry** to avoid the per-press
+  `executeDocumentSymbolProvider` call. Rejected — the codelens provider already
+  fetches symbols lazily per document; symbols go stale as the file changes, and a
+  single command-time fetch is cheap and always current. Matches the provider's
+  own pattern.
+- **Out of scope (unchanged):** the codelens itself, `Cmd/Ctrl+K B`, a batched
+  review queue (#1037), a file-path-only keybinding, cross-file walk (#1060), and
+  any right-click menu entry (plan-gate decision #2: palette + keybinding only for v1).
+
+## Test Plan
+
+**Unit** (`pnpm --filter @cluesmith/codev-vscode test`, run from `apps/vscode/`):
+the `resolveCursorRef` cases above — symbol-first, method-most-specific,
+hunk-fallback, file-fallback, order-when-both, new-file. Pure functions, no mock.
+
+**Manual (dev-approval gate)** — in a running worktree with an active builder diff:
+
+1. Open a builder file diff (View Diff / per-file diff) so codelenses appear.
+2. Place the cursor **inside a function/method body** (no selection) → press
+   `Cmd/Ctrl+K H`. Confirm the builder terminal receives
+   `path/to/file.ts:L<symbol-start>-L<symbol-end> ` with **no Enter**, and the
+   range matches the symbol's codelens.
+3. Place the cursor in a **changed region not covered by any symbol** (e.g. a
+   top-level edit / a language with no symbol provider) → `Cmd/Ctrl+K H` injects
+   the hunk range `:L<start>-L<end>`.
+4. Place the cursor on an **unchanged context line outside any symbol** →
+   `Cmd/Ctrl+K H` injects the bare file path and shows the status-bar note
+   "forwarded file path (no symbol or hunk at cursor)".
+5. Confirm **focus stays on the diff editor** — no picker/modal, keyboard flow
+   uninterrupted; repeat and keep typing feedback before Enter.
+6. **New-file diff** (no left side): cursor inside a symbol still forwards its range.
+7. **Scope check:** open an unrelated (non-builder) diff/editor → `Cmd/Ctrl+K H`
+   does nothing (`codev.activeEditorIsBuilderFile` false).
+8. **Regression:** `Cmd/Ctrl+K B` with a selection still forwards the selection;
+   clicking a codelens still injects its reference.
+
+**Cross-platform:** N/A (VS Code extension; `mac` + `key` both declared for the
+keybinding).

+# Builder pir-1073 — thread log
+
+Issue #1073: vscode keyboard shortcut to forward the symbol/hunk under the cursor
+to the builder (codelens keyboard equivalent). Protocol: PIR (strict mode).
+
+## Plan phase (2026-08-13)
+
+Investigated the codebase before drafting the plan. Key findings:
+
+- **Paths moved**: issue says `packages/vscode/...`, real code is `apps/vscode/...`.
+  Plan uses the real paths and calls out the drift.
+- Pure helpers already exist in `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-ref.ts`
+  (`buildSymbolLensDescriptors`, `parseHunkRanges`, ref builders). The plan adds a
+  new pure `resolveCursorRef(relPath, symbols, hunks, cursorLine)` there so the
+  command handler stays thin and the resolution order is unit-testable.
+- Two existing palette-only (unbound) commands are the closest precedent:
+  `codev.forwardCurrentHunkToBuilder` (hunk-only, no symbol/file fallback) and
+  `codev.forwardCurrentFileToBuilder`. Both delegate to `codev.forwardToBuilder`
+  (the shared inject-without-Enter path). The new command reuses that path.
+- Decision: symbol candidates derived from `buildSymbolLensDescriptors` (same set
+  the codelens renders) → keyboard == codelens click. Rejected walking raw symbol
+  trees for "most specific of any kind" (would forward scalar consts / nested
+  blocks with no lens).
+- `toSymbolNode` mapper is private in diff-inject-codelens.ts → plan exports it.
+- Keybinding `Cmd/Ctrl+K H`, `when: codev.activeEditorIsBuilderFile && editorTextFocus`.
+
+Plan written to `codev/plans/1073-vscode-keyboard-shortcut-to-fo.md`, committed,
+awaiting plan-approval gate.

 Plan written to `codev/plans/1073-vscode-keyboard-shortcut-to-fo.md`, committed,
 awaiting plan-approval gate.
+
+## Implement phase (2026-08-13)
+
+Plan approved. Implemented as planned:
+
+- `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-ref.ts`: added `CursorRef` type + pure
+  `resolveCursorRef(relPath, symbols, hunks, cursorLine)`. Symbol candidates come
+  from `buildSymbolLensDescriptors` (same set the codelens renders); smallest
+  containing span wins → keyboard == codelens click. Falls back to hunk, then file.
+- `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-codelens.ts`: exported `toSymbolNode`.
+- `apps/vscode/src/extension.ts`: registered `codev.forwardCursorContextToBuilder`
+  (thin handler: fetch live symbols, resolve, reuse `codev.forwardToBuilder` inject
+  path; status-bar note on file fallback).
+- `apps/vscode/package.json`: command declaration + `Cmd/Ctrl+K H` keybinding
+  (`when: codev.activeEditorIsBuilderFile && editorTextFocus`).
+- `apps/vscode/src/__tests__/diff-inject-ref.test.ts`: 7 resolution-order cases.
+
+Verify: `check-types` ✓, `lint` ✓, `test:unit` ✓ (819 tests, 68 files).
+NOTE: first `test:unit` run showed 18 test *files* failing on unbuilt workspace
+deps (`@cluesmith/codev-types`, `@cluesmith/codev-sdk`). Building those deps
+(`pnpm --filter ... build`) cleared it — pre-existing env/build-order, not my change.
+
+Awaiting dev-approval gate.

+# PIR Review: Keyboard shortcut to forward the symbol/hunk under the cursor to the builder
+
+Fixes #1073
+
+## Summary
+
+Adds `codev.forwardCursorContextToBuilder` (bound to `Cmd/Ctrl+K H`), the keyboard
+equivalent of clicking a "Forward to Builder" codelens in the builder-diff editor.
+Pressing the key resolves the cursor's current line to the most specific enclosing
+symbol (first), else the containing changed hunk, else the bare file path, and
+injects that reference into the builder PTY with no Enter — closing the gap where
+every granular forward surface was mouse-only (`Cmd/Ctrl+K B` required a text
+selection first; codelens has no keyboard activator in VS Code).
+
+## Files Changed
+
+- `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-ref.ts` (+48 / -0) — new `CursorRef` type + pure
+  `resolveCursorRef(relPath, symbols, hunks, cursorLine)` implementing the
+  symbol → hunk → file resolution order.
+- `apps/vscode/src/diff-inject-codelens.ts` (+4 / -1) — export the `toSymbolNode`
+  mapper (was private) so the command handler reuses it.
+- `apps/vscode/src/extension.ts` (+28 / -2) — register the new command (thin
+  handler: fetch live document symbols, call `resolveCursorRef`, reuse the shared
+  `codev.forwardToBuilder` inject path, status-bar note on the file fallback).
+- `apps/vscode/package.json` (+10 / -0) — command declaration + `Cmd/Ctrl+K H`
+  keybinding (`when: codev.activeEditorIsBuilderFile && editorTextFocus`).
+- `apps/vscode/src/__tests__/diff-inject-ref.test.ts` (+70 / -0) — 7 unit tests
+  covering the resolution order.
+
+## Commits
+
+- `6b1a07b4a` [PIR #1073] Add forwardCursorContextToBuilder command + Cmd/Ctrl+K H binding
+- `ea5c541ad` [PIR #1073] Unit tests for resolveCursorRef resolution order
+- `35cbc3090` [PIR #1073] Thread log: implement phase
+
+## Test Results
+
+- `pnpm check-types`: ✓ pass
+- `pnpm lint`: ✓ pass
+- `pnpm test:unit`: ✓ pass (819 tests, 68 files; 7 new)
+- Manual verification: approved by the human at the `dev-approval` gate (cursor
+  inside a symbol / in a hunk / on an unchanged line → correct reference injected,
+  no Enter, focus retained on the diff editor).
+
+## Architecture Updates
+
+No arch changes. This is an additive VS Code command + keybinding that reuses the
+existing diff-inject registry, pure helpers (`diff-inject-ref.ts`), and inject path
+(`codev.forwardToBuilder`); it introduces no new module boundary, state, or
+cross-cutting invariant. The "VS Code Extension" section of `arch.md` intentionally
+does not enumerate every command/keybinding (exhaustive enumeration is explicitly
+out of scope for the arch docs), so no entry is warranted.
+
+## Lessons Learned Updates
+
+No lessons captured — the change is small and additive, and the reuse-the-existing-
+lens-model decision is already documented inline in `resolveCursorRef`. (The one
+gotcha hit during implementation — vitest reports 18 test-file load failures when
+the workspace deps `@cluesmith/codev-types` / `@cluesmith/codev-sdk` haven't been
+built — is pre-existing build-order behavior, not a durable cross-cutting lesson;
+it's flagged under "Things to Look At" for the reviewer's awareness.)
+
+## Things to Look At During PR Review
+
+- **Symbol resolution == codelens click.** `resolveCursorRef` derives its symbol
+  candidates from `buildSymbolLensDescriptors` (the exact forwardable-symbol set
+  the codelens renders) rather than walking the raw symbol tree, so the keyboard
+  lands on the same range a lens click would, and never forwards a scalar const or
+  a nested block the lens wouldn't. Among overlapping candidates the smallest span
+  wins (a method beats its enclosing class).
+- **Resolution order is symbol-first.** When both a symbol and a hunk cover the
+  cursor, the symbol wins (verified by a dedicated test). Hunk is a fallback for
+  brand-new files / top-level edits / languages without a symbol provider.
+- **Existing sibling commands left untouched.** There were already two palette-only,
+  unbound commands — `forwardCurrentHunkToBuilder` (hunk-only) and
+  `forwardCurrentFileToBuilder` (file-only). This change adds a *new* unified
+  command rather than binding those, because neither does the symbol step or the
+  file fallback the issue requires. If consolidating/removing the older two is
+  desired, that's a separate follow-up.
+- **Path drift note:** the issue references `packages/vscode/...`; the code now
+  lives under `apps/vscode/...`. All work landed under the real `apps/vscode/` root.
+- **Test-suite environment note:** run `pnpm --filter @cluesmith/codev-types
+  --filter @cluesmith/codev-sdk build` before `pnpm test:unit`, or ~18 unrelated
+  test files fail to load on unbuilt workspace-dep exports. After building deps the
+  full suite is green (819 tests).
+
+## How to Test Locally
+
+- **View diff**: VSCode sidebar → right-click builder pir-1073 → **Review Diff**.
+- **Run dev**: VSCode sidebar → **Run Dev**, or `afx dev pir-1073`.
+- **What to verify**:

+# PIR #1073 — Rebuttal to iteration-1 3-way review
+
+**Verdicts:** Gemini APPROVE · Claude APPROVE · Codex REQUEST_CHANGES
+
+## Codex (REQUEST_CHANGES): terminal focus contradicts "focus stays in the diff editor"
+
+> `forwardToBuilder` explicitly focuses the terminal (`openBuilderByRoleOrId(..., true)`
+> and `terminal.show()`), contradicting the plan and review's claim that focus remains
+> in the diff editor. Fix focus handling and re-verify/update the review file.
+
+**The observation is factually correct.** The shared inject path does focus the
+builder terminal: `codev.forwardToBuilder` → `openBuilderByRoleOrId(builderId, true)`
+→ `openBuilder(..., focus=true)` → `existing.terminal.show(!focus)` = `show(false)`
+(takes focus), and `injectBuilderText` calls `entry.terminal.show()` (also takes
+focus). So focus does move off the diff editor.
+
+**Disposition: no code change to focus behavior; documentation corrected instead.**
+Reasoning:
+
+1. **This is the exact shared path the codelens click and `Cmd/Ctrl+K B` already
+   use.** `codev.forwardToBuilder` and `codev.forwardSelectionToBuilder` both call
+   `openBuilderByRoleOrId(entry.builderId, true)` then `injectBuilderText`. The issue
+   defines this command as *"the keyboard equivalent of one existing codelens click"*
+   and plan-gate decision #5 locked *"inherit the same resolver the existing codelens
+   uses."* A true equivalent of the codelens click must focus the terminal exactly as
+   the click does.
+
+2. **Focusing the terminal is the feature's purpose, not a bug.** The inject path
+   types the reference *without Enter* specifically "so the reviewer keeps typing
+   feedback before hitting Enter" (the #789 `forwardToBuilder` contract). That
+   requires the terminal to hold keyboard focus. Preserving diff-editor focus would
+   defeat the inject-then-type flow and would diverge this command from every sibling
+   forward action.
+
+3. **A focus-preserving fix would be out of scope and wrong.** The only ways to keep
+   the diff editor focused are (a) change the shared `injectBuilderText` /
+   `openBuilder` to pass `preserveFocus` — which alters the codelens and `Cmd/Ctrl+K B`
+   behavior too (explicitly out of scope: "Changing how the existing codelens or
+   `Cmd/Ctrl+K B` resolve their targets"), or (b) bounce focus back in this handler
+   only — which diverges from siblings and breaks the type-feedback purpose.
+
+4. **The human already approved the actual running behavior** at the `dev-approval`
+   gate, having exercised the real focus behavior.
+
+**What I changed** (commit `df1e58e38`):
+- Corrected the inaccurate "focus stays on the diff editor" wording in the review's
+  Test Results and How-to-Test sections to accurately state that the builder terminal
+  is revealed and focused (matching a codelens click / `Cmd/Ctrl+K B`).
+- Documented Codex's finding and this disposition in the review's "Things to Look At"
+  section.
+
+**Escalation:** acceptance-criterion #5's literal wording ("focus stays on the diff
+editor") is in genuine tension with the codelens-parity goal it sits beside — they
+cannot both hold given the shared inject path. That is the human's decision at the
+`pr` gate, and I am escalating it there rather than resolving it unilaterally. Since
+PIR is single-pass, the human is the only remaining reviewer of this disposition.
+
+## Claude (APPROVE) — optional non-blocking suggestion, adopted
+
+Claude suggested a one-line comment documenting the inherited line-0 symbol skip in
+`resolveCursorRef`. Adopted in commit `df1e58e38` (`diff-inject-ref.ts`) — cheap,
+improves clarity, no behavior change. Claude's second note (silent palette no-op)
+is intentional and consistent with the sibling `forwardCurrentFileToBuilder` /
+`forwardCurrentHunkToBuilder` commands; no change.
+
+## Gemini (APPROVE) — no action required
+
+Gemini's summary states the command delegates "without ... stealing editor text
+focus"; that specific phrasing is inaccurate for the same reason Codex identified
+(the terminal is focused). No action beyond the documentation correction above.
