(Migrated from git.a73x.sh)

The TUI paints typed bytes ahead of the daemon's echo through src/tui/predict.zig (an overlay that never enters the replica). muxg paints only what the daemon sent, so over a WAN or through ssh it feels slower than the TUI on the same link. Once the wall retires, the GUI is the multi-session surface for exactly those remote boxes.

Wanted: the prediction overlay behind the GUI's replica, sharing the predictor's state machine (predict.zig currently sits under src/tui/; moving the state machine to a client-side module and keeping the two painters separate keeps rule 4 and the "overlay never enters the replica" invariant). A gate on retiring the wall.

Migrated from git-collab issue fb4a0ee496a3257ac3370dbf63f3d923ea027aa7.
