Problem

Zero automated tests for the core unleashed logic. The only tests in the repo are for sentinel.py. Cannot verify:

• Pattern detection works (with ANSI codes, different variations)
• Arrow keys pass through correctly (all keys in VK_MAP)
• Surrogate pair normalization handles emoji correctly
• Console mode is set/restored properly
• ANSI stripping preserves word boundaries
• Mirror filtering catches spinner noise

Current state

• tests/test_sentinel.py — 11KB, comprehensive
• tests/ has empty directories: unit/, integration/, e2e/, security/, etc.
• pytest is in dev dependencies but not used for core code

Recommendation

Priority test cases:

1. strip_ansi() with real TUI output samples
2. Pattern matching with ANSI codes interspersed
3. Surrogate pair normalization (emoji edge cases)
4. Mirror filtering (spinner dedup, blank line removal)
5. Cooldown logic timing
